[Nexus S General] Soldier Blue:
I waited on the Nexus S and it ended up being a single core device with specs identical to the Galaxy S released about one month before the first dual core phones.

So I waited until MWC 2011 to see what the SGS 2 would look like, as I was excited for that. I wasn't let down, aside from the lack of resolution update. But no AWS for a long time and when the T-Mo version came out it wasn't even the same device anymore.

I got a cheap Nexus S and so I waited on Nexus Prime / Galaxy Nexus. It looked amazing externally, but internally the specs were anemic. Most of the performance gains were software based, and basic things like camera were a downgrade.

So I waited on SGS 3, thinking THIS WOULD BE IT. Nope.

It's literally an SGS2 HD with two extra cores and overclocked gpu. It also looks far inferior to the Galaxy Nexus and even the SGS 2 - not that I care about aesthetics much but glossy plastic? Really?? One X has it beat on display quality and aesthetics, but unfortunately lacks microsd, removeable battery and has inferior camera.

Software is something that both OEMs pimped, and would be the first thing I would remove.

Next Nexus device is that low cost Tegra 3 asus tablet coming next month, after that who knows? I want to see what the Sony "Mint" superphone is, as well as the first LG phone with their new 5" 1080p panel.

Once again, my "next phone" is another 4-6 months out.

Being techbeard is suffering.
[Nexus S General] Master Ramy:
Honestly all the specs we could've expected came in the s3 aside from things like flexible display, which were really not ready for production anyway. As for plastic design? See the blue, and hold it before you say it feels cheap. And it is far from an HD sgsii. Granted its not as far of a boost but we shouldn't have expected another amazing jump, nonetheless this is quite an uograde, and as u showed, the siii wins out because of things like removabale battery, tho build quality is generally better on htc, Samsung has an impressive galaxy track record not to mention the development aspects of being able to use odin vs struggling aginst s off
[Nexus S General] gtuansdiamm:
Do not touch an LG phone

Best advice I can give you

And okay what did u expect the gs3 to be a 8 core monster with 4gb of ram and a double retina display that can do 4d
[Nexus S General] Killasmoke:
I thought a lot of jumping in the Galaxy S3 but my Nexus S4G still great so I'm just going to hold out for the next Nexus this late fall or winter & if sprint doesn't improve with this network vision I'm off to T-Mobile faster speeds with there Hspa+ I've been with Sprint for 10 years!! Back on subject the Galaxy S3 is going to be a great phone with tons of Roms remember this time all of the carriers Galaxies will be identical except a few things like radios & apps so it be great to develop & port things all have same name no more E4GT or S2 skyrocket just Galaxy S3 pick a color & carrier they will also have sane CPU, gpu 2gb ram identical
[Nexus S General] rrohanjs:
i used it in the showroom, its awesome .. go for it blindly
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] cwhittl:
I have a vivid with ics that I got this week

It's still stock

Only issue I'm having is that a random times the sound stops working: notifications, videos, etc.....

The only way to fix it is to restart the phone.

Any ideas ?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goughymachine:
Ok, probably another stupid question by me this morning! But is there any way to set a default music folder in the stock music app? I had the same problem in my galaxy s in that it was grabbing any music or sound files on my phone rather than just from the spot I keep my music. I had tried the .nomedia file on my s but that didn't work properly for me. It then started excluding my custom ringtones from working. Granted, I haven't tried it again on my s3, but it would be much neater if it would just scan the one folder I want it to.

I am rooted if that helps in any way? It is just a pain that it scans everywhere. I remember it picking up all the sound files from some games I had on my last phone.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goughymachine:
Call me Doofus! Should look further before I ask things. Doesn't seem to be grabbing music from anywhere other than the folder I put it in. Not bright...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Luuthian:
Hi guys,

Something is wrong my Nexus. The speaker works fine, the phone sounds work fine, and certain games like Sonic CD work fine. What's weird is particular games, such as Replica Island and Monsters Ate my Condo, don't have any sound output. I've tried headphones and I've tried rebooting my phone. Nothing worked.

Help please? I'm using Franco's Kernel and Android Revolution HD.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oo3:
I have the same problem with Monsters Ate My Condo. The weird thing is that the sound was working previously, then one day it stopped. I've tried 4 different roms (aokp, cm9, paranoid and jelly bean) as well as tried to uninstall/reinstall, but nothing has worked so far.

I don't know why it just quit on me.
[Droid X General] aaCharley:
When I make a call the screen goes black and is nonresponsive. Call to Voice mail and I cannot see the number pad for entering code, and cannot use the End Call button either. When making a call to anyone, I cannot use the End Call button. Everything is great in the Contacts and Dialer, until the call starts to dial. Then goes completely balck and non responsive, almost as it detached.

Has anyone any experience with this problem and found a solution?

Thanks
[Droid X General] tucstwo:
Perhaps an issue with the light sensor? The phone thinks its up to your head?
[Droid X General] Nate2:
Stock ROM?

Settings / Display / Screen Timeout

Settings / Call Settings / Show Dialpad / ...
[Droid X General] klpeake:
Screen goes black on call dial

Did you find a solution? I just ordered and received a Star Note 3 from Merimobiles and have the exact same issue. I have to take the battery out in order to get it to disconnect the call. I think that the light sensor must be messed up because I'm also having an issue with the backlighting on the soft keys on the front of the phone. Of course, I can't really verify if there is even backlighting on these keys, but it seems like a really bad oversight if there is none.
[Nokia Lumia 900] dk_iceman:
on small question....

Is the music playback quality as bad in Lumia 900 as the Lumia 800 was when i had it in the beginning ??

haven't tried Lumia 800 after the latest updates, but just ordered Lumia 900 as i miss WP7,5 and it's the only one i like with big ass screen and nice design...
[Nokia Lumia 900] eortizr:
its definitely not on par with iphone 4s, little better than my Galaxy SII not as good as the Nexus S. the headphone jack lacks power is very low. It could not handle my Monster Turbine Copper headphones, have to use my ATH-CKM55.
[Nokia Lumia 900] maddogdogdog:
Having migrated from Galaxy Nexus for a week or so, I am happy with how my Lumia 900 performs except the headphone. It is a little heavy on the bass side and lacks clarity on the mid to highs (compared to the relatively brighter "signature" of the Galaxy Nexus).

I am just an amateur, don't make your decision wholly on my comments. I am using Westone UM3x or Sennheiser mx550 depending on the situation.
[Nokia Lumia 900] nraudigy2:
It's good but it lacks sound stage. Sound quality for me goes like this.

Cowon J3, Galaxy S with Voodoo Sound, iPhone 4S, G2X Voodoo Sound, Zune HD, Lumia 900, Galaxy SII.
[Nokia Lumia 900] truffle1234:
sound quality is good but lumia 900 do not have the sound app like HTC... and my beats Dr. Dre tour pro do not work as headset only as headphones... nokia told me they do not support right now...

over all i am happy with the sound, as my last phone was HD7.
[Nokia Lumia 900] EG8196:
I think Lumia 900 SQ is same as the iphone 4s
[Nokia Lumia 900] eortizr:
No, is not even near it. Maybe you will not hear the difference if you use some crappy headphones or any of the Dre line,,, but with good headphones the difference is noticeable.
[Nokia Lumia 900] Picard_8525:
I'd say the Lumia 900's sound quality is 'decent'.. but not anywhere near a Zune HD with EQ enabled.

I hope MS would include EQ settings on the next OS update.
[Nokia Lumia 900] truffle1234:
itune crap up the sound, so how can you get good sound out of iPhone...

so what great headphone you are using for your iphone???
[Motorola Droid 4] dewhashish:
I had a holster for my OG droid without a case, are there any for the droid 4? It's smaller in my pocket and easier to slide out of the holster. I checked amazon but couldn't find any that was a case/holster combination.
[Motorola Droid 4] maddeath:
I just did a search for xt894 holster and found a bunch and the ones with cases are like 7 bucks, i don't see how you could not have found any. I also went from a d1 and a "leather" holster to a d4 and the first thing i bought was one of those $7 case and holster sets by empire. The case and holster are alright, but in the end i just got the clip with kickstand case from a verizon store. The built in kickstand is hella nice.

Tl;dr search xt894 instead of droid 4 and check out the brand empire. They also make a good screen protector :D
[Motorola Droid 4] dewhashish:
i dont want a case, just a clip by itself

have any links? all i get are case/holster combinations
[Motorola Droid 4] maddeath:
A clip alone would probably be a bad idea, as it will most likely scratch up ur phone. I would post a link, but i dont have enough post to do that so my last advice would be to go to a verizon store and check out the "shell/holster combo with kickstand". When i asked about they let me try it out in the store without paying first. Sorry and i hope you find something
[Motorola Droid 4] dewhashish:
i have the one from verizon with the stand, it's fine now, but im looking for a holster/clip by itself
[Motorola Droid 4] tcrews:
Looking for the same...I've found nothing :(
[Motorola Droid 4] ricky0702:
i would suggest you to visit daydeal.com.It's a nice site for Droid accessories .
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] nezt94:
hi,, uh i want to ask some question about BNH2 rom,, ive installed it this morning,, and uh,, is it save for using another baseband like XXLM8 rather than XXLM6?? and,, why i cant remove go power master and juice defender in this BNH2 rom? and is it save to remove it using root explorer from the /system/app ? :confused:\

and 1 more question,, should i run the v6 supercharger script to enable the supercharger effect?

sorry for my bad english,, i hope you understand what im asking.. :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] galaxy16:
heyy i wanna ask that how did you flash the rom as there are two files part one and part two
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] imadiu:
You can't remove those apps because they are system apps, which comes with the rom, of course. Use rom toolbox or nobloat to remove them.

As to the flashing part, not so sure.

I'm not new to sense, and I can see this problem hasn't been fixed on the LTE, but is there a way to get the facebook and other contact pictures to not be blurry?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rocklee99:
anyone?

i cant remove and re sync w facebook for htc sense, cuz thats not an option anymore
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kcarpenter:
I may be wrong but believe it's a limitation of the Facebook api.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rocklee99:
whats that mean? i heard google resizes them...but, i dont get how to get around that, and i heard about haxsync...but do i really need to buy something to fix this?

Haxsync is the only program that I know of that will download higher res photos from Facebook. I used that on my old Epic running CM9, same limitation from Facebook.

[HTC Sensation] Raptor5150:
So i just recieved my sensation 4g today and got it updated to ICS.. which will allow me to play console like games on my phone when im away from home sounds great :D

i go to pair my Universal Onlive Wireless Controller it pairs and trys to connect says its connected and then disconnects ive rebooted and paired and unpaired many times and it still wont work..

anyone know whats going on?
[HTC Sensation] OllieArmageddon:
Sense 3-4 has an incomplete Bluetooth stack, no reason why, just means its not compatible with most game controllers.

As its a software issue, flash CyanogenMod 9 Nightlies will make the phone compatible with almost all Bluetooth devices, as cyanogen has a complete Bluetooth stack, Opensensation should be fine, but CyanogenMod official would be best :)
[HTC Sensation] Raptor5150:
ah ok :D im still S-ON but rooted and recoveried.. can i still install cm9? or opensensation? could you guide me on how to get the required firmware installed in a noob friendly way? or do i need to be S-OFF ?

and why cant the stacks be added to sense 3-4? like modded somehow..?

thanks for helping :D

EDIT: got it!! :D unlocked and s-off'd
[HTC Sensation] OllieArmageddon:
I'm unsure as to why the stacks are incomplete, probably something to do with getting you to use HTC accessories,

Now that you have CM9, Nintendo Wii controllers will work with an app like Wiimote, these are great for playing game boy emulators, as long as you own the game its not illegal, I still have Pokemon Emerald

PlayStation 3 controllers should also work :)

PLEASE CAN Any one Help Me To Fix IT ... Thanks ... Sorry for my bad English:D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] adil1508:
Have you tried wiping everything via the CWM. I think its the 3rd option from the top. Wipe Data/Factory reset. Wipe your internal memory from here, then wipe the cache(its the next option). Then go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache from there. After this, try installing the Rom again.

If this doesnt work, try creating a bigger partition on you r internal memory:)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] GorranKurd:
Thanks 4 ur help MR. Adil ... YES i did it every things you wrote ... Wipe data / Factory rest, Then in Advanced i wiped Davlic cache when i did that my Internal Storage NOT Working:(:(:confused::confused: !!! When in Magldr 1.13 Go to the eight section ( 8.AD Recovery ) The Clock Work Recovery NOT Working and by the RED Font Say ( No boot sources ) !!! Please MR. Adil Can u Help me how to Fix that Problem ... I thing my internal storage ( NAND ) Completely STOPPED Working Because i Used ( HD2 Toolkit ) to Wipe(Task29) then partition my system storage But Not Working after 2 for 3 minutes i got an Error Writes ( An error has occurred Read below for more information ) Error Description: USB init failed , Info: . \RSPL\RSPL.cpp (736) .... Please my Brother Help Me Please If U Can BIG Thanks
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mengfei:
you could try those SD ROMS there more easier to work with as long as yung have magldr.

there are sequence that must be followed in order to have a good working system, i hopw you followed those sequence, if you want CWM back try the link below, it might help.

Im sorry i coudnt get back soon. Ill tell u the steps to successfully install and run a MIUI rom. I dont have alot of time as i am shifting to another country today :D:D so please search for the links yourself.

Alright.

Step1: Install HSPL 2.08(just search for HSPL3)

Step2: Install Radio 2.15.

Step3: Install MAGLDR v1.13

Step4: Partition your internal memory by installing clockworkmod recovery(CWM).

Step5: Using the mounts and storage feature of CWM, select mount usb storage and connect the phone to the pc via the usb cable.

Step6: Copy the downloaded .zip file(This is the Rom)

Step7: From CWM, go to install zip from sdcard and select zip from sdcard

Step8: Just select the zip you just transferred into your sdcard.

Thats basically how it goes.

NOTE: - All of this you are doing at your own risk

- When selecting which partition, sele t the 150M. If Rom doeasnt work then select a higher value

- Place the downloaded .zip file(ROM) into the root of the sd card

Thats it. Hope it helps. Feel free to contact me if anything goes wrong
