[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Skander1998:
A permanent solution to this issue is upgrading to CM9 (not kidding), browsing is waaaay faster than stock roms.

HOWEVER CM9 comes with other bugs:

No H/W acceleration (HD videos can't be played unless you use 3rd party apps)

No Video Recording

No WiFI tethering unless you use 3rd party apps.

Now the most annoying is video recording, but if you don't really need it for now upgrade (Bugs are getting fixed really fast, thanks to dhiru)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sherbibv:
I have used CM9 for a week or so (Alpha 6). It was ok, smooth but the heating and the battery made me go back to stock roms.

I forgot to mention in my previous post that this lag is in the homescreen,not in browser.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Skander1998:
Have you tried some other 3rd party launchers? (Market), there are some smooth ones, try this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobint.hololauncher&hl=en
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sherbibv:
Yes, I've tried, but I really like Tw. I'll try the launcher you proposed .Tnx:D
[HTC Sensation] beergut100:
Hi

I love my Sensation, but I do have one small problem. Whenever I use it I seem to catch the camera with my thumb and have to turn off the camera before I use the phone. I realise I could just move the camera button, but then I would just get the same issue with another app.

Has no-one else had this? It happens both with stock ROM and ARHD (currently using 6.6.5)
[HTC Sensation] GROGG88:
Not to be rude, but it doesn't sound like a "phone" issue...

To answer your question, no I do not have that problem.
[HTC Sensation] beergut100:
Well, I beg to differ, but it is a phone issue, as that portion of the screen appears to be over-sensitive. I thought other people may have had the same problem and the fact that they haven't would seem to indicate that it could be a fault with my phone, which is what I was trying to establish.
[HTC Sensation] sshede:
Interesting choice of words there.
[HTC Sensation] GROGG88:
Overly sensitive?? You happen to touch the icon for the camera app, it opens, and you're surprised?

My goal here is to help, but...

Sorry, I'm speechless.
[HTC Sensation] beergut100:
Really? Your goal appears to be condescension. I am not an idiot, I have owned other smartphones, even other HTCs, but even my palm on the side of the screen opens the camera. I am not even directly touching the icon.

Please don't bother replying to this, as it is not helpful, but IS very annoying.
[HTC Sensation] sshede:
Have you tried just kind of training yourself not to touch it? I believe that is the first and potentially last step to solving this problem.
[HTC Sensation] beergut100:
Took phone back to shop, they agreed that the screen was faulty and it has now been fixed so that the problem no longer occurs.

Still, thanks for your help folks :rolleyes:
[Motorola Droid X2] GeekWilliam:
I was wondering if it is possible to flash the Droid X2 to Boost Mobile? I picked up one for cheap and my friend needs a new phone. He is on Boost Mobile. I have heard of flashing sprint phones to work on Boost Mobile, but wasn't sure about if Verizon phones could possibly work on Boost. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
[Motorola Droid X2] arielp:
Im sure you can, but its kinda tricky because the nvitem for an authentication is locked to verizon, so youll need to write custom nvitem and write it using cdma workshop or DFS ,

I can confirm this as im using for at least 2 different cdma operator here in indonesia, both running evdo rev.a smoothly
[Motorola Droid X2] RNZart:
^ confirmed...and some correction, again the "injectors" has found a way to make cdma handhelds running a new operator, so that makes it 3 :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rat170:
Hi!

I had a rooted galaxy s 3 for about 2 weeks, today I discovered that if I revolve the headphone jack while listening to music the sound distorts and sometimes one side stops sounding at all, so going to send it back.

So in pursuit of unrooting and setting binary counter to 0, I somehow changed my baseband version.... Is it going to be any problem... When I connect the phone to Kies it says that your phone is not compatible to upgrade via Kies......

Before:

After:

i1200.photobucket .com/albums/bb324/ahmadtahir/2012-06-14142858.png

Please remove the space before .com, I am new here, can't post pics or links..... Sorry for that.

One more thing, even though the md5 file I used to flash said it is XXLE8 but it happened to be DXLE8..... :-(

Any help is highly appreciated....

Regards.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoneMo:
it is simple just download XXLE8 again here http://androidfirmwares.net/Modem3/Download/2

extract the .7z a flash the file thought Odin as Phone :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rat170:
Thank you very much buddy....... really appreciate it........ Thanks+

But here a problem.....

If I flash this, binary counter will increase.

To reset counter I need to root.

To unroot again I need to flash stock ROM with different baseband verion.

To change baseband I again have to flash this file.

Infinite circle... :-(

I am sure I am noob enough to miss something here.......

Thanks again.....
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sak500:
Steps

1. Root your phone

2. install mobile Odin

3. Use triangle away to reset the counter

4. use mobile odin (no pro) to flash stock rom/modem

5. Your phone is now w/o root/cwm and in stock condition.

Hope that helps :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rat170:
Thank you sooo much........ Solved the problem smoothly....

Thank you both of you.....
[General Questions and Answers] UnclePetros:
Hi guys,

As you can guess, I'm not fan with latest smartphones like Galaxy SII and SIII, HTC Sensation, and so on.

I consider them simply too big to be used as phones. I could never do or answer a call with these ones.

I think of them like "monster" phones.

Why, Is there no new android phone (high quality level) with dimensions lower than 4.0 inches?

I think this is a thing Iphone is better than other phones (at the moment).

Do you really like "bigger and bigger" smartphones?

Regards

Big phones are good to a point. The galaxy note is too large.
[General Questions and Answers] Stridar:
I do not see what the big problem is?

Why do people moan about size? It's perfectly fine size.

Smart phone that is. You just get used to them. Big deal. move on.
[General Questions and Answers] Yayodroid:
well that all depends on your use and really preference. I got the Note a month ago and dont regret it at all. Honestly when i pick up a captivate with 4 inch screen i have trouble using it. If i was to just want a smartphone for regular smartphone stuff instead of a tablet phone, then i would have to go under 5", but i like the option of screen real estate just in case. Its really just comes down to preference.
[General Questions and Answers] UnclePetros:
uhm...,

obviously I don't refer to Galaxy Note, its not a true smartphone at all.

It has been created for other purpose, and in this case I could agree with dimensions.

Anyway in my honest opinion:

1. For me it's a pain to stay more than 5 minutes in call with a SGII near my ear. Too big for one hand.

2. It is not so smart to use more than one finger to reach all the corners of the display.

3. It is not so handy

4. It is not so comfortable in pocket.

Yes, the only new smartphone the suite my needs is the Experia Sola, but it is not the top in the hardware.

I haven't found other smartphones with 3.7''-4'' display size and top hardware.

There is the HTC ONE S, that HTC says is "a compact size", but it is 4.3'' display!

Please, could you show me what smartphones you refer to?

Too generic.

Font size is indipendent from display size.

What is different is only the area to contain the stuff.

As example, I find the SGII default look&feel size too big and unaesthetic.

Yes, I fully agree with you;

but the problem is that not only I haven't the same wide choice of devices under 4'', but I think in a few months there will be no choice anymore for devices under 4'' !

Thank you for all the answers. Nice to know your opinion.

Regards

[General Questions and Answers] eluno:
i use to feel the same way. i remember the first time i bought my first smart phone it was an iphone. i remember walking into to the store and then walking out saying no way, no way it's just too big. and that was going from a small nextel push to talk phone. to the iphone 3g it was just way bigger it was like a monster compaired to my nextel. so it took me awhile too go back to store (about a month later) i eventually got the iphone 3g. and i remember thinking the whole time as i drove back home... this thing is too big i know i'm not going to like but i gave it a try. the first few days were hard i'm mean the size and the battery life was not what i was accustomed to. but i eventually git used to the size and the bad battery life.

my last iphone was a iphone 4. and my current phone now is a GS2 and now when ever i pick up an iphone it's just way too small i can't go back no way. i am now thining of the getting the note. at this point i have lerned to adapt the newer bigger phones and find myself never looking back to the old 3.5-4.0 days.

guess this guys video explains how i feel now.

i dont really like that Trend of bigger and bigger Phones, i mean, 4" is the biggest i would buy, first i had a Nokia N95 its was cool and for that time THE High End Device but it was really thick and i think the screen too small for Internet(2,6"), so i got a Nokia C6-00, bad performance but relativly good screen (3,2") in fact the Displaycable broke and i needed Replacement , now i changed to Sony Xperia P (4") and it fits perfect!

Two Friends of mine owned HTc One X and Galaxy SIII and i had both in my Hand but they are definitly too big by slightly low resolution change...
[General Questions and Answers] dzulfadli:
bigger or just nice

there are many phones just release and releasing soon in the android market.having alot of my time researching for specs of this upcoming phones,i can say that 4.2-4.8 inch display phones will become the norms in the near future.its about individual preference.i still stick to my nexus one.hehe.but have eyes on the s2(not s3 as for me the design is odd)..

Runs great maxed out on my TF300. Loving it!
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] SilentStormer:
WTF? I just downloaded this and for some reason not only are there not control mappings for controllers but the game decides to map the look axis to r2 and l2. And they have to be held down 24/7 or else the look axis just spins and spins. Anyone else having this issue? If so, this is some major BS on rockstars part.
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] supersoulfly:
Gamepad worked fine for me. I played it for a couple hours.

What's your particular set up? (controller, root?, etc)
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] SilentStormer:
I'm using an ASUS Transformer Pad 300 (duh) on the AOKP build 38 ROM. Every other controller game has worked fine on this ROM so I doubt that's the problem. I have a Logitech F710 controller that has never had issues before now. In-game there are no options to map the keys or the like. When I load up the game, the left stick acts as a move stick and works fine, the right stick does nothing but the only way to look around on my controller is to use the r2 and l2 buttons, they work together as back and forth being mapped to R2, up and down being mapped to L2. So it works like this

L2: pressed=up, not-pressed= down

R2: pressed=right, not-pressed= left

so you have to constantly be pressing one or the other or both, it is literally impossible to hold the screen still as it is always either pitching left or right and up and down at the same time. No other game has had a single problem and this is the controller Nvidia recommends/ uses to demo their tablets. Very weird. any help would be appreciated.
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] supersoulfly:
I dusted off my F710 and gave it a try. It worked fine for me. Right Analog stick functioned as it should.

I'm running a rooted .29 with a tweaked build.prop. And it was also working fine with my Dualshock before I rooted.

Perhaps you need to reinstall the game or there's something weird going on with your ROM.

Works as it should with the f710 for me...but I'm running stock .29

So here it is.

I know 95% of you here are already familiar with Gokhan, developer of the most popular and unique Kernel for S2, and now S3.

While it is still early, i already created this thread so that noobs and developers alike can discuss their problem, solutions, praises, etc here. Thus, leaving the original thread as useful as possible to all of us.

Let's help Gokhan help us.

Hi,

Can anyone explain if hotplug_on(hotplug ticked under CPU hotplug settings) has any effect if governor is set to pegasusq?
[Galaxy S III General] harunjo:
i can see only cpu0 is always active with this kernel,

is this normal behaviour for this kernel?

and also i cannot set sched_mc to 2 , it always revert back to 0

is it normal?
[Galaxy S III General] gokhanmoral:
I fill fix sched_mc issue in the next version. but even after having it fixed I do not recommend you to use it if you do not have a reason. I applied that patch to have ARCH_POWER and sched_mc is there just for those who wants to experiment. but according to my experience there is no use of setting it to 1 or 2.

about cpu0, it should be active.. but if you mean only one core is active and not others pegasusq governor is a bit tweaked to activate the other cores a little harder than the original one.

if you run a stability test or benchmark you will see that the others become active as well.

and for extweaks hotplugging settings: they are only effective with ondemand and other "old" governors for now.

I will make 1,2,3-core modes available for pegasusq and hotplug governors later.
[Galaxy S III General] hshah:
What are the recommended settings for governers etc?
[Galaxy S III General] harunjo:
Thanks for your explanation,

[Galaxy S III General] gokhanmoral:
it is either a different stability test than the one I use or an older version.

I am using stability test v2.5 from the market and it can stress test 4 cores
[Galaxy S III General] hshah:
I can confirm that the latest version from the Market (v2.5) has all 4 cores.

Profiling isn't available yet. The app needs to be updated I guess. Everyone is having the same issue.
[Galaxy S III General] aquariuzism:
For the time being.

For the time being, please use the kernel as ease to prevent any issues as extweak is not yet FULLY optimized for I9300.

Please understand that gokhan is maintaining other stuffs as well.

Is anyone else running the Latest Beta(b4) and ParanoidAndroid 1.96a? I ask because I have this weird problem where everything starts artifacting very badly and lagging when something slightly graphically intensive is going on eg. Quadrant, Asphalt and Dead Trigger.

This does not happen on the standard kernel and I was wondering if anyone knows what could have gone wrong?
[Galaxy S III General] davelinders:
Did you overclocked it?

So yes give it more voltage then the artifacts will go away and you find your stable overclock/voltage.

Had it when I set GPU to 533 with 975mv, once I set mv to 1000mv everything was ok.

For 700 I must set voltage to 1100 for stable use.

Hi,

Just three benchs, with stock settings and CheckROM. Usually at 1.4 Ghz the SIII is about 12000/12200, here about 12400...:

With some tests with different I/O schedulers...

First run (sio):

Second run (noop):

Third run (deadline):

No reboot between each benchs, 200Mhz-1.4Ghz, Pegasusq governor, no undervolt or anything else.

In Quadrant, just for the CPU so a custom bench:

About 13500/13600 with sio.

About 12900/13200 with noop.

About 13200/13400 with deadline.

Always at 200Mhz-1.4Ghz.

[Galaxy S III General] S1N1ST3R:
Everything is set to absolute stock, no UV/OC. Thing is this doesnt happen on ICS with OC and UV. I'm still not sure whether the rom or kernel is at fault but if I had to guess, I'm leaning towards the rom.

Anyway, for anyone OCing their CPUs, what freq do you guys have it running at and with what voltage? 1.5GHz at 1225mV however, I can't get 1.6GHz stable yet.

EDIT: I think the reason for the artifacting and lag is the broken HWComposer present on jellybean roms, which explains why it works perfectly on ICS.
