[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] MtGoat:
I am going to upgrade to Vivid from my Inspire 4G. But I just read that with ICS Voice Dialer no longer works and that is one thing on my Inspire 4g that I use the most. What I like to do is get the Vivid (only $49 from Att and it already comes with ICS) and root it to install the last version of GB that the Voice Dialer worked. I have been reading the crippled Voice Dialer thread and it seems that everybody is looking for a workaround to the problem but willing to live with the flaw just to have ICS. I don't really know the major difference between the GB and ICS but to me, it really isn't worth changing if I am going to lose the Voice Dialer. Has anyone else tried what I want to do? I have been reading the Vivid forum I can tell there is lot of difference how things are done to root this phone than my Inspire 4G. I would appreciate any input regarding this matter.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] willgill:
I happened to stumble upon a pretty good interim solution. It's called Voice Control. The free version is called Voice Control Test.

I have tried them all and this is the only one that comes close to working correctly without screwing up other Bluetooth devices.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] poncespr:
I decided to go back to GB for this very same reason. ICS is nice and all, and, as a whole there are many changes and optimization's. But if you use sense, 3.5 is not that different from 3.6. Not only voice dialer does not work over bluetooth, there are also many apps that don't work or do not work correctly on 4.03.

After I went S-off on my phone I just decided to install an older version of android. I was afraid that the new Hboot would screw things up but I still tried it and everything seems to be working. I did have a little of an issue with the kernel so I flashed it twice, before and after installing the gingerbread rom.

Third Party Voice Dialer Apps

There is a extensive thread on this issue in the General section. This link takes you to page 4 where I discuss Cyberon Voice Commander. I had also tested Vlingo.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1562886&highlight=voice+dialer&page=4

At least one person tried to use a custom ROM with the voice dialer added back in. While there are differing opinions on what works best, I found Voice Commander with ICS to have the same functionality as the built-in voice dialer in Android 2.3.4. Look at the whole thread to see what others have to say.

See also this thread for another recommended app.

Cyberon Voice Commander made my BT functionality flakey.

However, I found Voice Control which works must better. I think the free version is called Voice Control Test.

Set the accuracy low and fast which is the 2 setting. Even at this low accuracy, it is really good.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] brucegil:
One point we should make is that Bluetooth sets in vehicles and BT headsets can vary in their capabilities and ability to work with the Vivid (and other phones). While CVC works well for me, WillGill had more success with another product.

It may take some experimenting as WillGill and I did (and Vivid 2X also), but I believe you can find a product that will restore voice dialer capabilities without having to root your phone and install a custom ROM. Of course, Google should never have removed it, but that's another issue.

Good morning. I am considering per ordering an S3 but before I do I would like to ask a couple of questions...I do know there are going to be differences between the US version and the Euorpean one but I figure they are close enough. I am comming from a droid X.

1) how do like your S3 so far? Is the size too big?

2) How difficult to root?

3) is the charger chord have the same connection as the droid x?

I am not a flash ahold but have been known to toss a few rooms around. Does titanium work?

Thanks for your time and information.

Just go to a phone shop to hold one first or just cut a piece of card with same measurements to see if it fits your hand, and there is an easier Rooting method now with even easier ones coming along.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B3311:
Buy it, you won't be sorry:D
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SkillfulMmd:
To give you a more informative answer.

1. The size is awesome I have pretty long fingers so I cant touch anything on the entire screen, don't know what yours are like. As far as feel its very nice in your hands it do-sent feel like its going to slip out your hand, and feels like a good build.

2. rooting is very easy Chain fire has made a great root kit and even for a beginner you would find it very simple buy like you said you've done some rooting and flashing before.

Link to the root method: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1695238

3. If the droid x uses mirco USB then your sorted it will use the same its a standardised connector anyway.

the phone is awesome other than the ui redraw problem the phone is flawless.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B3311:
Apart from your use of the word "micro", care to tell me in what way your answer is "more informative" than mine?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IIIIkoolaidIIII:
Loving the GS3, moved from the .GS2. Size wise I was habit worried when first held it but after a little adjustment it's fine, fairly similar to using my .GS2. For a seasoned or not user the rooting process is very simple.

Only issue I now have is there aren't enough ROMs to play around with lol, also can't wait for CM9 to come, was so polished on the .GS2 even in the nightlies .

Only real gripe I currently have is Apex launcher is a little laggy and statusbar colours, not found one I like but was thinking of learning to theme so going to use it as an excuse to start.

Charger wise it's a standard micro usb chord (a little too short in the box imho) to a 1 milliamp Charger.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
Fortunately it's a 1'000mA (= 1A) charger. Otherwise it would take VERY long to charge the beast.

As already said the only concern should be screen size.If your hands are too small you'll not be able to use it in one hand, and it might feel awkward.

[HTC One S] vibez:
Hi guys,

I unlocked my bootloader via HTCDev and installed leedroid and root OK.

But i'm having issues trying to flash any radios or kernels via CWM or TWRP. Basically which ever recovery I use, it always says it has flashed the radio/kernel fine, but when I reboot nothing has actually happened.

I've noticed a few others on the forums having the same issue. Is there a step I am missing?
[HTC One S] el_smurfo:
Have you tried installing radio or kernel using the fastboot boot recovery.img method just to verify it is possible? CWR can't install radio or kernel images, but supposedly TWRP has a workaround that should have worked.
[HTC One S] vibez:
I can install kernals using fastboot but radio's give me a signature verification error...
[HTC One S] keinengel:
As far as I know you can't flash radio images without being S-OFF. "Unlocked" just gives you write access to /system/ and possibly /boot/.
[HTC One S] vibez:
Yeah I thought that too. I wonder why some people can flash the radio via cwm / twrp and others not.
[HTC One S] GuestX0019:
if you get a signature error, make sure sig verify is turned off

and you can flash radios with twrp thru recovery

with cwr you need to fastboot into recovery first then flash radio zip, do not flash radio.img just the zip like any rom
[HTC One S] vibez:
the signature error is only when using fastboot not CWM

TWRP sits there for 5 minutes then says it has flashed the radio, but my baseband never actually changes

I am flashing the zip, but again the baseband never changes :confused:
[HTC One S] GuestX0019:
wow--not sure on all that

did you try clearing caches--not sure it is needed though

if you are trying with the same dl, maybe redownload and check md5

or maybe a diff radio zip
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] lowfatmilk:
--sorry for the noob issue ...

i've unlocked, rooted and s-off my Raider, but can't get kernels to flash. It's an otherwise stock phone running stock ICS and kernel. Thing just boots back into the stock kernel.

So i unzipped the KangBang kernel updater and rewrote the scripts to write all their intermediary files to the sdcard, put it back together, ran it in recovery, and discovered that the utils in the update zip that unpack and insert the zImage into boot.img don't seem to run, or at anyrate output nothing.

dd outputs a 16M boot.img, but that's it. unpackbootimg and mkbootimg produce nothing.

the mkbootimg.sh script does produce a createnewboot.sh file.

Could anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong and how to fix it? --Thanks.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] lowfatmilk:
-- i did also rewrite mkbootimg.sh to produce a createnewboot.sh that'd operate on and output to files on the sdcard where i'd gotten the updater-script to put the boot.img.

neither mkbootimg nor unpackbootimg would run in a terminal shell on the phone when it's been normally booted; dunno if that's default behavior.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Mjones307:
You can use the flash image GUI tool from the market just extract the kernel on the sdcard use the the tool to flash the image.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Mjones307:
I just realized your s-off did you try a different rom
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] kozmikkick:
Sounds like you don't have busybox properly installed.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] lowfatmilk:
Thank you for your good suggestions guys.

Nothing works so far, including installing busybox 1.20.1 in both /system/bin and

/system/xbin.

so far i'm only trying to put in one of the kernels from these xda forums. Thot that'd be easiest. ...Little did i know...

Have tried all the major recovery mods.

Currently have TWRP 2.1.10 installed.

No joy so far.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] lowfatmilk:
i dunno. It still looks like the utils zipped into the kernel updater zips, aren't doing their thing. They're statically compiled binaries looks like, shouldn't depend on libs or busybox.

What do i know.

... not nearly enuf, obv.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dynamiclynk:
I have the same exact issue. This happened to me after using the De-Sensed rom. Then I had boot loop with one of the kernels so I fastbooted relocked my device, RUUed back to factory.

Still S-Off in HBOOT and security flag is 0.

So I unlocked my device again, flashed CWM, rooted, flash stock rooted ROM. Tried flashing fauxes 007 kernel but it wouldn't flash. The script executed in CMW without error, but still stock kernel it did kill my wifi and I had to manually copy over the stock system\lib\modules\bcmdhd.ko file to get wifi back.

So I manually tried flashing the zimage using fastboot flash zimage zimage. I get some failed error from fast boot basically permission denied jargon.

I am at a loss, only thing I can think to do is to relock, RUU back to stock, S-ON.

Start over from scratch unlock, root, S-OFF steps. :confused:
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] kozmikkick:
If you are s-off, does your hboot say locked, unlocked, or japunabear? If it says locked then you still have to unlock it using through HTC dev and you'll be set.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rquiett:
I had the same issue after an ruu with s-off i just fast boot flashed an older kozmick kernel that was in boot img form and then went about flashing the kernel of my choice with cwm which was the newest kozmick
[T-Mobile LG G2x] deathskater:
So yeah is it worth the upgrade considering how many people are having problems with it?

I usually either use Singh UI MIUI or HFP on both threads I see people complaining about issues with new baseband.

I didn't see any post similar to this one so hope it helps some other people wondering the same.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tirtawn:
For now:

Only CM7 RC3 supports the audio on the new baseband.

If you try to install other custom rom, you will have audio problem.

CM7 RC3 - have problem with the bluetooth car calling (original stock does not have this issue though).

If you are using other ROMS other than CM7, then no, its not worth it to upgrade now.

This thread shows the results of some benchmarks of the Android OS (using a Nexus S) where certain parameters affecting performance have been isolated to the greatest extent and then compared statistically.

Background

I teach mathematics, and also used to be a professional sound engineer.

Some of my work on measuring battery drain was published on the XDA portal here however since then further studies were conducted, revealing critical flaws in my original test setup. :o

Although I believe some of my finding may be generalised to other devices, please bear in mind that my device is a Nexus S, and has its own peculiarities. I have attempted to edit out findings which I believe may be specific to the Nexus S, but I have linked to the original thread in case you wish to go exploring further results, or get an overview of my methodologies, which are usually in the second post.
