[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xuberone:
Hi, have been reading the xda forums for awhile now. but it seems i can't post in the s3 developer's thread so I would have to ask it here.

I wish to root my s3 and this is my first time doing it. I have downloaded the S3 toolkit and have installed it. Upon opening it, I chose option 1 to install the USB drivers. After that, I observed that there is a serial under the ADB mode which means that the device is detected.

However, when i try to choose option 2 and follow the instructions, odin does not recognize my phone. Is there any way that I may have done it wrongly? I have selected USB debugging mode for the phone.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Do you have Kies running as well? Ensure you close out Kies and kill the process in windows as well.

Question regarding [GSM] in the title of the toolkit

Hi,

Is there some brittish model with only GSM or what does [GSM] mean?

Sorry if im beeing a total noob but before i start rooting i would like to be sure that my phone is supported.

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mskip:
The GSM part simply refers to the type of network the device works on. Currently the only S3 models available are GSM but America will be launching the S3 soon on LTE networks and a different hardware configuration.

GSM models have been sold throughout Europe so if you have an S3 now it will be supported by the ToolKit. When LTE devices are launched I will add compatability for those users too.

Sometimes just unplugging/replugging the usb cable is enough to fix any connection problems :)

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aleghe:
Sorry and Thanks :)

I wasn't sure if there were S3 models that only had GSM and not 3G which of course doesn't make sense...

again sorry for being such a noob.

Thanks for your reply and awesome toolkit

Hi, I've been having this issue whereby the lockscreen in the Swipe is CORRECT, but the image that is displayed after swiping (during pattern unlock) is distorted. I get extra black bars on the left and right of the image.

This issue only happened once I first changed the default lockscreen (dandelion one) to another image. Changing it back to the default dandelion one doesn't fix the issue.

Btw, you can see what I mean from the 2 pictures.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badaeng:
Hey,

I started to use andromadus beta 4 about a week ago and am mostly happy with it. A thing that really annoys me though is that it constantly kills background tasks. I know this is normal android behaviour if the phone runs low on memory but with andromadus it is pretty much impossible to use more than one application at the same time. Even apps with notification icon are killed. Does anyone else experience the same? Can I do anything to free up a good amount of RAM? Or does ICS simply consume that much memory? If that's the case it is pretty useless for me, I was already annoyed by the multitasking performance under ILWT.

Any hints on this

Cheers

Just manually checked my wife's HTC software update, and it finally has the Android 4.0 ICS Sense 3.6, I d/l'd it, but havent installed it yet. Is there any reason I shouldn't update, say if I decided to root it anytime in the future?
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
It will be best to root before update.because it will be a whole lot easier with the hboot version you have now. You should be able now to use revolutionary and if you update, It's likely you will no

longer able to use it depending on your hboot. Revolutionary supports certain hboot versions and some ics might not be supported. This is my understanding and I was also told the same thing. So I rooted on revolutionary then updated to 4.0.3 and custom Rom .of course its possible to root after update, just more difficult in my opinion. Good luck in whatever you decide to do. Hope this helped out a bit.
[HTC Sensation] _DavidWebb:
That is helpful, thanks. I am kinda curious to compare it to my Sensation, rooted on 4.0.3 AHRD sense 3.6. Hers is still completely stock.
[HTC Sensation] GROGG88:
Let her use both devices and make the decision. My wife is still running stock GB on hers and sees no reason to change it. Don't push her and be held responsible for any changes she does not like.

There are certain apps that you'll have bugs and compatibility issues with on ICS, but most of those should be ironed out by the developers over time.

Definitely s-off before hand either way. That way you'll have the ability to easily downgrade if she doesn't like it...
[HTC Sensation] _DavidWebb:
Thanks a lot, great advice from the exact perspective I needed. You are awesome!
[HTC Sensation] shahkam:
I think official doesn't worth it i suggest the ordroid rom its quite stable i'd say but if you think your wife just needs her phone to call/text you should update as its really stable..

Just out of curiosity...I was wondering as to why when I install a new custom ROM, wipe my phone, cache etc.. my pictures and launcher backups aren't deleted?

Is this pure luck and should consider moving my internal data to my external?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] babymatteo:
That's because it only formats the data partition (like your apps and stuff).

[Motorola Photon 4G] knG333:
Does anyone have any touchscreen issues? I'm not talking about the raindrop issue or multiple touch point issue. What happens for me is sometimes while moving with my left thumb, when I try to put my right thumb down to look around, the game doesn't interpret it as a new touch point and all it does is make me run to the right. To aim when that happens, I have to stop running and then press my right thumb down to look. This happens I'd say every 1 out of 4 times. It happens the other way as well, when I am looking around and want to start running. When I put my left thumb down to run, the game thinks it's the same touch point and spins my view around like crazy. It is frustrating but the game is still playable.

I've tried CM9 and MIUI but haven't tried it on 2.3.5 at all. Am I the only one having this issue? Besides this problem, this is one of the best mobile games I've played.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhondidfool:
So I got my Galaxy Nexus, yay!

And I installed Android Revolution HD which has busybox and init.d script support.

I put Franco's latest kernel, and it goes smokin' fast.

But my undervolt settings dissapear each time I reboot, which makes me to have to reboot several times until it gets them.

I asked and got told to put a script into init.d that set the voltages.

echo "1250 1225 1175 775 750 750 725 700" > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/customvoltage/mpu_voltages
echo "750 750 600 600" > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/customvoltage/iva_voltages
echo "850 850 800" > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/customvoltage/core_voltages

So I did, but voltages are not set and it keeps overheating.

Does anyone have a better idea or know what's wrong here?

unless there was a bunch of posts after (or because of?!) mine that went off track, im not sure what happened.

The irony being in this instance, that unless there was more that I didn't see, we've gone further off topic because of the "cleaning"

again, we wont know until we see some hardware out there, None of us have a Scooby what is or isn't included in WP8

[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
I've searched the forums and Google'd this, but nothing seems to give any resolve to my issue. I am showing a voicemail notification icon in my status bar, but after calling my voicemail it says I have no new messages (nor do I have any archived, saved, etc. messages).

This just happened to show up two days ago after missing two calls from the same individual. Both calls had voicemails for each, and I deleted both, but the notification icon still shows.

Sorry if this is a repost or similar, but I just can't seem to find a fix. I tried to look up AT&T's voicemail pilot numbers but no luck there either... :confused:

As always, thanks in advance for your replies!
[Motorola Atrix 2] Fall of Enosis:
I use google voice for my vmails.

That way I can read them like a text instead of listening. Never had a false signal from them.

Also, keep in mind if you flash new roms a lot and use TIB to restore your data, the restore of the data specifically will send a false notification once. Or so I have noticed.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
I haven't backed up any data from TIB or otherwise, just in setting up the phone after a freah data wipe checked the "back up from Google servers whatever thing" and maybe that's what's causing it.

I'm going to try to wipe again and NOT check that as my option...
[Motorola Atrix 2] intent2smile:
I had this problem. Usually for me calling voicemail again would fix the issue. After the voicemail service said that I did not have any voicemails I would hang up and the notification would go away.

I switched to Youmail voicemail service because I got tired of this problem and haven't had a problem with false notifications since.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
I'm going to try a couple of other things. I've seen this before in other forums, but no one seems to have a good resolution for this. Get back with y'all...
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
Okay, super weird. I just booted into CWM and wiped data, cache, Dalvik and restored my current rom I've been using (Lithium v1.3) and

without

checking the 'back up from Google server' option, went to check if the rogue voicemail notification was still there, and it wasn't!

So, I guess it was a glitch in the "backup" that Google had for my device that when clicking to enable it to backup from Google held that false voicemail in the status bar, but once I opted to NOT back up from Google there wasn't one. :confused:
[Motorola Atrix 2] goodgulf:
Had this happen to me recently and called AT&T. Was told that this sometimes spuriously happens and they can clear this from their side.
[Motorola Atrix 2] RowanOak:
This can also happen sometimes with Google Voice...even if you don't use it as your default voicemail (which I didn't to begin with) if you have the app installed and didn't clear the initial "message" that comes in your inbox (which I didn't) then you can sometimes end up with a VM notification...it's actually correctly reading that you have an unread voicemail, just from the wrong app.

Now that I use Google Voice (and don't have any unread voicemails) I don't have this happen anymore.

Now about the name brand thing you mention. Ok, for me and I can only talk about me. I am not going to spend money on something I cannot test for myself. I don't know, but you might have the finances to spend $100-$1000 on ten pairs of headphones online to try them out. Some people don't.

I understand that there are websites like the one you mention and are credible. I see them as people on the internet with opinions. It's under maint right now, but on this website you linked to.... Do these people that make these reviews have credentials that can be checked to make sure that they are a specialist in headphones? I am asking because I have never been there. What sounds good to one person might not sound the same to another. I'm not saying that I know anything about headphones, so I don't know where you got that from.

I didn't really lash out. I more so vented about the beats==crap thing. The iBeats that I own work great for me, sound great for me, and the quality is great for me.

Using that logic the opposite can be said too. Beats are extremely popular in terms of sales. Must be a reason no?

They're popular because they're endorsed by Dre. That's it.

Just because someone famous is endorsing them you think that's the sole reason people buy it like crazy? You do realize this isn't the first time in history a famous person is endorsing something. Ludacris and 50cent, just to name a couple, also endorse headphones but next to no one buys those.

You know, I really really really want to like HC on my View. I love the full pen support. I don't even mind the weird softbuttons and statusbar design that makes little sense.

But the DEAL KILLER for me is browsing. I mean, it is just nuts. I have a super fast wifi connection and I'm getting excellent signal but pages take FOREVER to load. I mean, like 10 seconds even for the most basic HTML page. :(

Why Android, why? What the hell did you do to HC that completely broke the browsing experience compared to GB and why didn't you ever fix it?

HC on the View = TRIPLE FACEPALM UTTER AND COMPLETE FAIL.

Mine gets like that when i have to much apps open, download a task manager and kill the apps you not using, the more RAM you got free, the smoother it will be.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
Gotta love it when folks post things as if every user is having the same problem when it's clear that's not the case. I think we discussed this before, but frankly if you have so much stuff active that you have to kill apps with a 3rd task killer to get your browser to work you have bigger issues.

The built-in memory management and task killer takes care of that very well unless you have badly misbehaving apps or other abnormal problems. If everything is normal in HC or even the older GB, there should always be approx 80% of RAM used. That's normal and if you kill things, android will just fill RAM to 80% again, over and over because that's how it's memory manager works and for good reasons.

And the browser in HC works just fine if you or bad apps don't screw the system up. Do makes sure you have some free space in flash for the browser cache and clear the cache occasionally.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] j510:
Try rebooting your tab
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Havoc-X:
Its true that there are always certain apps open, however if you open other apps and exit, they stay open. For instance my news app takes about 100 - 200 MB of ram when its open, if i exit, it stays open and occupies that amount, kill it. its EXTRA apps that you kill.

Just because you have a certain experience, doesn't mean it applies to everyone else.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] IOIDroid:
I understand where you are coming from but the Theory behind DigitalMD's post is SPOT ON, the taskiller and builtin memory management within linux should not cause you any problems, also if a single app is taking up 100 - 200 mb of RAM there is something seriously wrong. What ROM are you using and if you can, please post a link to the ROM. I will try and help you out, i do not have a view but hopefully i can fix this :)
