[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Galaaa:
hi mates..

i don't know if i am the only one with the big screen latency of the s3's screen. especially in games and browser and in zooming pictures you see quite a big latency...

when i play fruit ninja the finger is almost far away from the blade's end.

whats the prob?

anyone could get a look in the kernel and solve this? :confused:

thanks for reading and answering my question in advance.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] erikivy:
I love command line interface. Two years ago, when I got my OG EVO on launch day, the only way to root was through toast's cryptic instructions here and here. Even for an old DOS guy like me, they were daunting as an Android newb, but after several days of poking around and reading everything I could find, the process went smoothly. Fast-forward to today.....I'm ready to root my new EVO LTE and would love to do it myself. I have the SDK installed on both my work and home computers and feel like all I need to do is execute the commands contained in the one-click solution posted by zedomax.

@echo Rooting...
@adb wait-for-device
@echo Start Rooting...
@adb shell mv /data/local/tmp /data/local/tmp.bak
@adb shell ln -s /data /data/local/tmp
@adb reboot
@echo reboot #1 - DO NOT DISCONNECT YOUR DEVICE!
@PING 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 9000 >NUL
@adb wait-for-device
@adb shell "echo \"ro.kernel.qemu=1\" > /data/local.prop"
@adb reboot
@echo reboot #2 - DO NOT DISCONNECT YOUR DEVICE!
@PING 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 9000 >NUL
@adb wait-for-device
@adb remount
@PING 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 3000 >NUL
@adb push su /system/bin/su

@adb shell "chown root.shell /system/bin/su"
@adb shell "chmod 06755 /system/bin/su"
@adb shell "rm /system/xbin/su"
@adb shell "ln -s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su"

@adb push Superuser.apk /system/app/.
@adb shell rm /data/local.prop
@adb shell rm /data/local/tmp
@adb shell mv /data/local/tmp.bak /data/local/tmp
@adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/.
@adb shell "chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/busybox"
@adb shell "/data/local/tmp/busybox mount -o remount,rw /system"
@adb shell "dd if=/data/local/tmp/busybox of=/system/xbin/busybox"
@adb shell "chown root.shell /system/xbin/busybox"
@adb shell "chmod 04755 /system/xbin/busybox"
@adb shell "/system/xbin/busybox --install -s /system/xbin"
@adb shell "rm -r /data/local/tmp/busybox"
@echo rebooting
@adb reboot
@echo All Done rooting Evo 4G LTE, check out OneXRoot.com for more cool stuff like ROMs, hacks, tips, and more!

So here's my question, will running each of these commands (minus the @echo and "wait-for-device" ones), accomplish the same thing as executing the batch file or does the automated nature of the script add something else to the process??? Obviously, I know that I need to put the busybox and su files in the appropriate folder, but other than that, is there something else I would need to do?

Thanks for any input!

Verizon's family data plan:

$50 monthly plan comes with 1 gigabyte of data to be shared between devices. For $60 a month, you get 2GB, while $70 gets 4GB, $80 gets 6GB, $90 gets 8GB, and $100 gets 10GB.

http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57450763-94/verizon-unveils-share-everything-family-plans-for-data
[HTC Rezound] tCizler:
That doesn't sound like a good deal at all

Right now, between 2 lines, I get 14 gigs for 70. With the family plan, I'd get 4 gigs for 70
[HTC Rezound] canistotaweb:
Forgot to add, this new plan starts on June 28th and also marks the end of unlimited data for those that choose a subsidized phone when upgrading
[HTC Rezound] EmerikL:
You forgot one important part.

F that noise.
[HTC Rezound] tCizler:
That doesn't make any sense.... If you got individual data, you'd get 2 gigs for $30 on 2 lines. totaling $60 for 2 lines. But if what you are saying is true, this would be the case...

individual plan @ 2 lines:

4 gigs for $60

Family plan @ 2 lines:

4 gigs for $150

And if you went with the 1 gig plan, it would be $130 instead of $50
[HTC Rezound] canistotaweb:
Ya, I was too busy bending over and taking it in the shorts after reading the first part of Verizon's wonderful new plan structure
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
Sounds like this will increase the use of Swappa . I know I am in the process of talking my wife into either getting a new phone now or getting a used one off Swappa so we don't mess up her unlimited plan.

Those extra fees are ridiculous as well. Seems like Verizon is intent on losing customers. We have 5 lines right now and only data on 2, I sure as heck won't be adding anymore data lines . Thought we already were paying a user fee ? This would make my payments way to high to even keep a smart phone logically.
[HTC Rezound] EmerikL:
You act like Verizon make sense most of the time. Have you actually spoken to an employee? It would be better to argue with a wall.
[HTC Rezound] maniac2k:
It says share between up to 10 devices.
[HTC Rezound] EmerikL:
Yeah but you get hit for each additional device.
[HTC Rezound] blestsol:
Wtf is this crazy sh*t?

Time to activate my 5 year old flip phone!!!!!!
[HTC Rezound] MotoDj:
makes me wanna get the s3 now

with an upgrade to burn, i wanna be able to use it...

i dont think theres another phone coming out that i want, but i'll be damned if i lose the unlimited data

wonder what i could sell the new s3 for?? lol,

i'll have to put that money off to the side to buy my next phone outright...
[HTC Rezound] EmerikL:
Here is a PDF they made to show us how much we are going to save. (meaning bending over)

Gee, my bill will only go up $30 plus the overages I will surely hit.

I am so excited since I will now be on the Rezound for a long time.
[HTC Rezound] hovercraftdriver:
FULL.OF.FAIL what a crock of ****...what the customer asked for, yeah right...I can see a monumental public outcry over this. "Double the data" deals coming soon to a plan near you to compensate, watch what i tell you.
[HTC Rezound] Cares:
Retarded changes. For sure I'm never taking a subsidized phone!
[HTC Rezound] snarl16:
Anyone heard how employee discounts will work? Will they be off the entire plan or just the one individual phone? This is such a rip off :mad:
[HTC Rezound] pwned3:
Wow. Those are awful plans. I've got an upgrade on the 26th so I may try to get it sooner and get a sg3. No more subsidized phones for me.
[HTC Rezound] Cerealkillah:
Damn, what a TERRIBLE deal.

This is just plain awful.
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
Yea, my son helps out too.

He really is a great kid & all his buddies are cool as hell so I really like having him home.
[HTC Rezound] badogg:
Ho.Ly.Snot. My wifes Fascinate (or should I say garbage phone) is having more and more problems as time goes on. It is just over a year old, and so she is under contract until May 5, 2013. So I figured it was worth a phone call to Verizon to see if there was anything that they could do to maybe allow us to upgrade that phone or something. Mind you, we have been a Verizon customer for like 12 years.

Conversation went something like this:

Me: So as I understand it, when she is eligible for an upgrade if she gets a discounted phone she is going to be forced into the new family share plan.

Her: Yes, that is correct

Me: Is there anything that can be done to upgrade the phone today to be able to lock in our plan as it is so we don't lose anything?

Her: There is nothing I can do

Me: Ok, I'd like to just make a comment about my displeasure with the plan changes that we are being forced to make in order to upgrade our devices. We have been with Verizon for a LONG time..

Her (Interuppting): Yeah yeah. Everyone always says that they have been with us for a long time..

Me (interrupting her): Well if you would look at my account you will see that I have *actually* been with you for a very long time.

Her: And?

Me: And I would hope that you would at least be willing to listen to long time customers voice their concerns over changes that are being made about the services that they are paying for.

Her: I'm sorry you feel that way.

Me: Me too. Are there any other options?

Her: Yes, you can pay full retail for a phone, or buy one somewhere else and activate it without penalty and keep your current plan

Me: Or I can go to another carrier..

Her: Maybe you should

Me: Maybe I will

Her: Have I answered all of your questions?

Me: Yes, but your delivery of the answers was pretty brash

Her: Brash??

Me: Yes, Brash. As in, you really suck at your job and I'm sure Verizon wouldn't want you speaking to their customers this way - Brash.

RAWR!!!!!

Edit: I forgot to mention that I have been in a pretty rotten mood already today for reasons I cannot figure out - just woke up wrong I guess. But she was really rude and nasty before I even snapped. I tried to really hard to keep my composure and remain professional until the end.
[HTC Rezound] ijustwantmydock:
Verizon customer service: first class asshats
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
I would have had her fired
[HTC Rezound] antiseen:
Maybe you should? I would have asked for n

Her name and whatever her employee Id number was to complain. They never say you should switch to another carrier. Even if their hands are tied. They'll just keep with the "I'm sorry sir," etc.
[HTC Rezound] badogg:
Yeah, I know. I wasn't even looking to get into a big ol thing about it. Just wanted to voice to them that I wasn't thrilled with their business model. She was just the ear for the organization. I wasn't even mad until she started getting all *****y and snide. Part of me wants to just forget it and let it be and just wait until our contract runs out, but the other part of me - the asshole - wants to bring down the hammer of dawn and write letters and emails and call supervisors. That takes a lot of effort and blood pressure though. :(

*R.I.P.* unlimited data plan *6-28-12*

Edit-

*R.I.P.* subsidized pricing *6-28-12*

Sent from my ADR6425LVW using unlimited data.
[HTC Rezound] pkopalek:
Anyone, even on a family plan - I researched this all week, and a good friend of mine is a Verizon rep.

4 different CS (call-in) reps confirmed the following:

-If you're on a family plan and on unlimited data, you WILL be thrown to a Family Data Sharing plan if ANYONE on your plan upgrades, even a dumb phone, to another dumb phone, with discounted price.

Then one rep (and then my friend Jay) told me something VERY different:

-You CANNOT lose your unlimited data unless a) someone changes the actual family plan or b) you upgrade your phone with subsidized pricing, re-setting your plan.

Even in the case where losing data could happen soon, it seems clear, you CAN STILL move your line (or lines) that have unlimited data onto a separate account (or sub-account) and RETAIN your unlimited data.

I asked him to make sure. He talked to his trainer (because he had training on Tuesday), who talked to someone above him, who talked to the guy who's in charge of all of Buffalo, NY. He was crystal clear. EVEN IF someone upgrades from a dumb phone to a Smart phone, on your family plan, you WILL NOT BE FORCED to shared data. Each line will retain its own data plan until the plan changes.

So to retain unlimited data:

-Don't upgrade at subsidized price, ever (obviously)

-If your family plan account holder is about to choose a different/new family plan, GET OFF ONTO YOUR OWN SUB ACCOUNT!!!!

-Profit.

I'm glad to have this finally put to rest. The CS Reps are poorly informed, and so is their management, it seems. Unlimited data will be fine. It lives, as grandfathered, unless you upgrade. Just as before. Just look out for a plan change on the overall family plan.

</thread>
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Wait I didn't think you had to do the shared plans. I thought you could choose between shared and individual tiered plans.
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
The problem is, eventually VZ is just going to say as of (pick a date) that there will be no more unlimited data packages period.

That may be a few years down the road, but it's coming eventually. By then most of us will be off of contract and any newer users will already be on tiered data anyway.

When that happens, there will be absolutely NOTHING we can do about it (except switch carriers but thats really not a great option if you want good service)
[HTC Rezound] oluchika:
I think for individuals, they can still do this. I tried just to see on the website and when I choose an individual plan, I was shown the tiered options.

However for families, their only option is the share everything plan or prepaid.
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
Maybe I've just been lucky, but I have never had a single problem with VZ service & I've been calling them for something like 20 years.

They may not be able to fix the problem I called for, but I have always found them to be friendly helpful & a pleasure to talk to.

I called *611 last week to ask a simple question & the guy on the line was so cool we ended up shooting the S for 45 minutes.
[HTC Rezound] tCizler:
That must be why i was on hold for an hour :)
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
ROTFL, yea we tied up their only phone line.......
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
CON,

i thought the same thing..until i saw our new pamphlets to hand out and show customers with the plans on it.

there's no more regular family plans, ONLY share plans.

let's put it this way, even corporate verizon doesn't know the answer to these ****ing questions, and i can't get a god damn answer in from anyone. my account manager SHOULD be stopping by today (first time i've seen him in 6+ months :rolleyes: ) and hopefully i can get some damn answers out of him to show you
[HTC Rezound] con247:
They aren't actually too bad for me. I am on a family plan w/ 1400 minutes & unlimited texts.

Lines-

1. 2GB data iPhone

2. 2GB data iPhone

3. 4GB data Rezound

4. 4GB data Rezound

One iPhone (mom) and one Rezound (dad) both use well under a gig each month, so the 10GB plan would be plenty for us probably and we wouldn't really pay any more I don't think.
[HTC Rezound] Nappyloxs:
I spoke about this in another forum. They can get rid of unlimited to New user or people who take something in exchange. They cannot unilaterally change anyone material terms of a contract.

After people's contract terms end, then you are month to month. Same terms apply. They still cannot unilaterally change the terms of your contract. I'm sure they may try to find a loophole. But they would rather keep the few unlimited contract (people who are going to be persistent about it will be less than 5%) than lose them as customers.
[HTC Rezound] yotamaster:
I have a family share plan, both with unlimited data. If my wife decides to upgrade, will that put only her phone on limited tiered data, or will both of our lines then become tiered data?
[HTC Rezound] Tag798:
Just her phone... or you can switch to a share everything plan.
[HTC Rezound] esheesle:
Or don't get a subsidized phone and keep unlimited data right?
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Ok so if my family has 4 lines on tiered data when we upgrade can we keep it or will we be forced to a share plan?
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
Probably make you upgrade. They consider the old plan "outdated". That's what they did to me, when I lost unlimited. :(
[HTC Rezound] tmach:
Unfortunately there are no individual plans anymore. There are only shared bundle plans, even if you have no one to share them with... like me.

Right now, I'm paying $40/month for 350 minutes (which I never use) and $30 for unlimited data and an extra $10 for text messages. Total of $80 before taxes and what not. Obviously, I've had that one for a while.

I just went on VZ's site to see what the equivalent plan would cost me now. Since unlimited data isn't an option anymore, I chose the 2gb a month plan (figured that was logical since when unlimited went away, that's what you got for the same $30 a month).

The closest plan would now cost me $100 a month before taxes, etc. That's $20 more than I pay now just to get less. (Okay, it's trading unlimited data for unlimited minutes, but I haven't gone anywhere near by 350 minutes in years.) I could shave $10 off of that by just going with 1gb, but that'd be ridiculous--while I usually don't go over 2gb (since I stick to WiFi for big files and videos) I always go over 1gb.

So basically, for individual users, Vz is raising the price $20 a month. Meh. I'll try my luck at getting "gently used" phones and selling my old ones instead of doing that. If price of "new" phone minus profit from old phone is less than $480 (Vz's price increase over 2 years) I'll consider it a win.

Sad thing is, unless massive numbers of people say bye bye to Vz, the other companies are going to do the same thing and eventually there will be nowhere to go.

Any decent prepaids out there? ;)
[HTC Rezound] anthonywoo:
You are correct... I am a Verizon sales consultant.
[HTC Rezound] krelvinaz:
I don't have to do anything for close to 2 yeas. In that time a ton of stuff can change.

What I find interesting is that Verizon is not going after the "home user" market with LTE... With a decent plan, they actually blow away most of the Qwest/Century Link or whatever fly by night name they are using now. At my house I can only get 9600 dialup (hard to fathom) but have a 50mb Cable (Cox) connection instead.

There are a lot of markets where (VZW) with a decent plan would be the best data source.

Instead, they seem to have shifted the other directly and made data more expensive than it is worth...

I think a lot can change in 2 years though.
[HTC Rezound] Tag798:
Verizon offers a service called home fusion where they hook a 4g antenna up to your house... You get like... 10gigs of data but I don't remember the monthly cost... Its their non fios home internet
[HTC Rezound] Tag798:
Only the line that's upgrading has to switch... The share everything plan is optional if you're on an old family plan...
[HTC Rezound] jclendineng:
T-Mobile prepaid kicks Verizon's balls. Straight talk as Well if you can flash phone.

Edit. T-Mobile is like much faster than Verizon.. straight talk is between 1.5-2 megs down so not bad. 5 gig cap on unlimited but it is Verizon.
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
You have to be the first person I've actually witnessed liking and/or preferring T-mobile over anything. Just saying lol. :)
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
How much were you paid by the mobile to say that? I got horrible reception inside frequently getting a big fat x in the signal and their speeds are good for hspabut can't match lte.
[HTC Rezound] johnwaynegacy:
Cool if I buy an unsubsidized phone from verizon, that means It will be carrier unlocked, and have an unlocked bootloader, and the required source to easily flash whatever I want, right?
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
verizon doesn't sell "unlocked" phones in that sense. Bootloader being unlocked is mostly an OEM decision (Samsung, HTC, etc) and verizon phones are mostly locked to verizon because of it being cdma.
[HTC Rezound] johnwaynegacy:
First off, I was being sarcastic.

As far as I have read, the bootloader being locked is a carrier decision. It is one of the many stipulations that the carrier issues when an oem wants them to carry the phone.

Also, I am sure that it wouldn't be impossible to create a phone that works on all cellular bands.

The point I am trying to make is that if they want me to forfeit subsidies (to keep what I already have), I should be able to do as I please with the device.
[HTC Rezound] Cares:
You need to work on your sarcasm then...
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
Lol right

Yea I agree. If you are buying an unsubsidized phone, off contract, it should be unlocked. Which would mean that you would choose to use Verizon with it or take it else where if you are displeased with them. It's their way of making sure you don't leave with it though. It IS kind of silly, but it's all about money, obviously.

On a side note can't the rezound be used on any network or have the capability even if they don't allow it?
[HTC Rezound] EtherBoo:
Glad I pre-ordered a GSIII for the wife (or maybe me!) and kept unlimited data.
[HTC Rezound] tCizler:
I can't even begin to imagine why ANYONE would EVER accept this family plan..... It's basically the same as the individual plans, except this one costs on average 3 times more for the same thing.
[HTC Rezound] Bstrong9211:
Absolutely ridiculous. They'll figure it out. When we all leave
[HTC Rezound] Cares:
So how does this work?

My situation: Shared 1400 plan with 4 lines (3 with unlimited). We all have different upgrade dates.

If one phone decides to upgrade they will be forced off unlimited data and to the Share Everything correct? Will that force the entire phone plan to go to Share Everything? Or is this just 1 type of family plan? Can we still keep the regular current family plans but that one line just loses unlimited data and goes to $30 for 2 (or double data 4GB)?
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
Wow, Verizon has REALLY outdone itself this time. I didn't think that was possible.
[HTC Rezound] pwned3:
Anyone have the corporates email addresses? Their plans are absurd.
[HTC Rezound] jbuffethed:
That is what is killing me too. Paying more and getting less. Thanks Verizon.
[HTC Rezound] Cerealkillah:
I just got off the phone with VZW customer service.

Your existing plans are safe and it sounds like you can still have a family plan with individual data packages, but you will be moved to tiered data once you upgrade your current unlimited data line(s).

I told the CSR to make sure they note that I called specifically to express my dismay and concern with VZW's new pricing model. I told them that if at any point I am forced to switch, I would leave and take all of my business with me.
[HTC Rezound] Cares:
So am I correct in saying that the current 1400 shared pricing model is still valid and will be valid in the future? We will just lose unlimited but have to move to $30 for 2GB and etc.

Or we also have the option of moving to the newer and "better" Share Everything plan?
[HTC Rezound] Div033:
I believe he is saying we can switch to the "needle in the eye" plan instead of the "rusty nails penetrating you in every possible location" plan.

[HTC Rezound] vcmstone:
Looks like I'm buying my next phone at full retail. I'll ride that train until they take that away. Once they do that, I'm gone.
[HTC Rezound] 1heffer:
If the trend continues, you'll probably only do that once before they stick you.
[HTC Rezound] xceebeex:
Looks like I might have to pre-order the S3 after all. Worst case, if I don't like it, I am sure I can sell it pretty darn easy for the people who don't want to mess with their plans.

The rep I just spoke to confirmed as long as you pre-order before the new plans are effective you get grandfathered in because you technically agree to the terms when you do the pre-order, NOT when you activate the phone.
[HTC Rezound] EmerikL:
Man they are really pushing this thing too, at least on twitter.

https://twitter.com/#!/VZWnews They are using the catch phrase of sharing data.

The eye rolling smilie would work great here.
[HTC Rezound] Cares:
This plan should be called the "Screw Everyone" plan instead.
[HTC Rezound] Cerealkillah:
Ding, ding, ding!
[HTC Rezound] tpulu:
The only folks who benefit are those that use their phones for actual calling and texting as all those rates come with unlimited minutes and texts....but who calls and texts that much anymore? LOL
[HTC Rezound] nosympathy:
I text a lot and maybe make 10 mins worth of calls a month that comes out of my 450 plan.
[HTC Rezound] supersobbie:
Hummm well this is at least a "Share Everything". this means unlimited text and calling along with the restricted data. If I put everything together then it may not be as bad a deal as one would think. but for me and one additional line I dont think that will same too much, especially since I use the unlimited data with a google voice account for texting. oh well.

supersobbie
