Amazon is your friend just like google but there is a few of them out there is one generic meant for the Epic 4G but its ****ty plastic but reviews have aid what to do to make it better one guy has actually done it for some people.

I purchased a bracketron that connects to the ac vent. I first I never liked the idea. But traveling with GPS and other things running it would get hot with a high amp charger. Being on the vent certainly solved that problem and charged a lot quicker since it wasn't so hot.
[Epic 4G Accessories] VassagoX:
I realize that Google and Amazon exist. I was looking for recommendations from other Epic owners on here. :)

That's not a bad idea! I'm going to check those out. Thanks!
[Epic 4G Accessories] vwags:
I use one I made out of a coat hangar that hangs from the ac vent that I got the idea from one of these threads.
[Epic 4G Accessories] XxLostSoulxX:
that was my recommendation haha look on amazon there are so many reviews i dont have any because they dont give me any support haha
[Epic 4G Accessories] VassagoX:
Interesting... is it an eye sore?
[Epic 4G Accessories] vwags:
I don't think so. I can try to post Picture later
[Epic 4G Accessories] f0xblade:
I recommend the stock mount for the Epic 4G. It does get hot sometimes, but it has an 2.5mm socket for audio that you can run into the aux input on your car stereo and it activates car mode. I've had it for 18+ months now and haven't had any trouble with it and would be upset if it broke.

I can't remember where I got it (not Samsung), but it's probably not too hard to find.
[Epic 4G Accessories] XxLostSoulxX:
I Honestly Recommend Arkon

I believe post #8 is what he's talking about ;)
[Epic 4G Accessories] vwags:
Yes that is where I got the idea.
[Epic 4G Accessories] VassagoX:
Interesting concept. Does it move much?
[Epic 4G Accessories] vwags:
No surprisingly little. I changed it a little so it squeezes the phone instead of sitting in the holder and I used small vacuum hose to protect the spots that touch the phone. Works well.
[Epic 4G Accessories] jackal516:
Its all on how you make it. There is no play in mine at all. I made mine so you have to slip it up under the top arms, and then rest the it on the bottom arms. then the reverse to get it out... Its very secure and never had to worry about it falling. I drive in Cleveland, so thats saying something.

. I took a fine file and filed and sharp edges made by the pliers. Then after a couple of coats with spray paint, its like I bought it from somewhere. I use no buffers and have marks on my case from my holder.

I've made a few (about 10 or so for a different phones) the key is just to take your time and make every bend as perfect as you can.
[Epic 4G Accessories] VassagoX:
I might have to look into this. I have been slightly concerned about the fact mine is in a small case. I'm afraid the official one won't fit too well. I also wasn't actually impressed by the automatic car mode.

XxLostSoulxX, the Arkon ones look pretty nifty. Which one did you get? They have so many!
[Epic 4G Accessories] XxLostSoulxX:
I haven't purchased one I just know they are pretty durable and a lot have recommended it I ATM can't use one I have stupid ac vents the roll so it pulls down so id have to get one that sticks with a mount.
[Epic 4G Accessories] blazinazn:
I have the stock mount for the Epic and love it. It does get kind of hot at times. Especially when sitting in the direct sun light but it's a perfect and snug fit:

http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/ECS-M982BEGSTA

I can't remember how much I paid for it, but I searched around and got it for pretty cheap.
[Epic 4G Accessories] CapsLockKey:
I bought a universal vent mount at TJ Maxx for 8 bucks. Works great and the best part is it can rotate to either portrait or landscape.

sugru

I made one like this

cheap and works
[Epic 4G Accessories] dohturdima:
I have the stock car mount but haven't used it at all because I could not find a way to attach it to my center console (don't want it on the dash or the windshield). Is there any way to attach the stock mount to the center console? I know that there are a few aftermarket solutions (Proclip) to that end but right now can't think of any others.
[Epic 4G Accessories] Dougrun:
best cell holder ever..

https://www.thinkgeek.com/product/eb42/
[Epic 4G Accessories] dohturdima:
Nah, this does not look like something I'd want to use.

Combination of ProClip console mount with Samsung Epic Car mount = FTW!
[Epic 4G Accessories] XxLostSoulxX:
Problem with those clips and other ones that require to clip ac air vents is older cars aren't like that the whole vent will move up and down and because our phones and case to hold it are heavier than plastic it causes it to fall down.
[Epic 4G Accessories] dohturdima:
Agree with the above. I never liked vent phone holders as they can block or even break the vents. My combo of ProClip and stock mount (I glued the Sammy car doc suction cup plate to ProClip mount) works pretty well, but I don't use a case so it would have been more of a pain if I did. Would have to retrofit a universal holder of some sort to ProClip console mount. Besides being on the expensive side, ProClip's custom Epic holder is a snug fit so cannot use it with a case either.
[Epic 4G Accessories] XxLostSoulxX:
when i meant the case i meant the clips that connect to the ac vent. but a case would also stop it but the ac vent as above moves up and down so when you clip it to the vent it it goes down and eventually falls down plus the AC cold air blows downward then.
[Epic 4G Accessories] fallsdownstairs:
The Spider Podium actually works well in the vents. It's completely bendable, so it's just a matter of bending one of the eight arms in a manner that holds the phone in place. Sure, you're not going to have a perfect setup on your first attempt, but it's doable. The fact that it can be used for just about anything is nice too (instead of a single purpose product).
[Epic 4G Accessories] XxLostSoulxX:
Yeah iitll work with newer cars and their vents because the vents are connected straight to. The dashboard so it won't move. But like I mentioned mine as older will pop off from dashboard and if you connect anything like a phone to it it will fall down and not really usable.

I was pretty pleased with my results here, so I thought I'd share. This is done with both OC and UV and making use of the the 3500mah batt and with moderate/normal use.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
I can get that on stock battery, you must play some games and leave your phone on full brightness at all times or something.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] aaCotyaa:
No, I play one game in particular, and I spend more time on the web on my phone than most people do on their computer. I could get that on a stock battery too, if I never actually used my phone Before the the changes I made, I was getting significantly less life. Especially with OC.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] redmonke255:
It looks like the moment you turn your screen on your battery life plummets.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] aaCotyaa:
Thats from Oc'ing to 1560 lol
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Whyzor:
It's more useful to post test results on a standard battery and standard voltages and clock speeds so others can compare. I've gotten 3 days on stock CM7 nightly before, it really depends on how much one uses their phone. The biggest clue to how a ROM or kernel affects battery is to look at the idle drain (maybe with data off too). It should be flat or with < 0.5%/hr drain.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] JohnDoe183:
Where'd you get the 3500 Mah battery you are using? I've been trying to find a decent maker for one.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] 1234568:
Here is a list of all the apps that come on stock roms. It's main use will be determining which apps are safe to remove.

Although this is a solid starting point, a lot more information still needs to be added. I am going to need help from other members of the community to complete this.

Please PM me regarding any additions/changes. If anyone wants to become a regular contributor I will happily give them editing rights as well.

I am aware that there is a similar list here. Originally I started adding to that list but sadly I lost interest when some of my entries were deleted. As the OP didn't respond to comments about limiting editing rights I thought I would start fresh.

Edit: I am not personally maintaining this list anymore. I have made it so that anyone can edit it. If it gets messed up I am sorry, but it won't be my doing as I don't even own an S3 anymore.

Whats the situation with backing/restoring up system apps with TB? I know the process is the same but is there anything I need to be aware of? other than NOT deleteing required apps of course....
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] 1234568:
Weird that the link is being temperamental. I have changed it slightly in the OP, hopefully it will behave for everyone now. The same new link is here.

I personally do a nandroid before I flash anything. That means I get a fresh nandroid backup every 2 days or so. With regards to TB, I backup all apps (system and user). When I decide to remove an app I first delete it's data, then freeze it. I carry on using the phone for a day or so, and then if everything's good I uninstall it. This is the method I have used in working out whether a lot of apps are safe to remove. Just because I came across no issues in my day or two of testing does not mean no issues exist though. ;)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] rtorbs:
Good man, wasnt 100% sure as never normally stick with stock roms in order to have to uninstall, didnt fancy borking up the phone in the first day however.

Ive frozen apps previously but am still always wary about deleting even if no FCs occur cos never totally sure that it wont be required later....

Cheers though for the heads up

I seen allot of people on here what's the best or quickest way to backup and restore sms/mms so that's why I'm sharing this, I stumbled across it in the HTC Rezound forum.

I just tried it doing a fresh install of a ROM and it restores fast considering I always used My Backup witch is very slow

In the instruction he says press the radio menu button ignore that, tap the backup/restore tab then click edit filters then just follow the rest of the inductions

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1537931

" I was using my backup root, and come to find out you must purchase the pro version if your jumping from rom to rom...I done some digging and this process works great...The props should go to:razor02097 (incredible forum)....

I tested it and it works on both sms/mms:

How to automatically backup your SMS/MMS messages with Titanium Backup (Rooted Users)

So you have seen all those sms backup apps but none tickle your fancy... You are rooted and have Titanium backup. You know how to backup your messages but you don't want to have to manually backup your messages all the time. Good thing there is an easy way to tell Titanium Backup to do it for you.

The following is exact step by step instructions.

Open app drawer Open Titanium Backup Press the menu radio button Select "Filters" At the bottom press the "Create label" button Name your label whatever you want Press the "Add/Remove elements _" button Check the "[SMS/MMS/APN] Dialer Storage 2.2" checkbox Press the "OK" button Press the "Save" button Press the back radio button Select the "Schedules" tab Press the "Add new schedule" button located at the bottom On the schedule that just appeared press the "Edit" button On the top combo box select the arrow to pull down the menu. Select the "Backup all system data" option On the next combo box that says "No filtering", click the arrow to pull down a menu. You should see your label you created. Select your label. Select the time you want your backup to take place Select the days you want your backup to take place Press the "Save" button Check the "Enabled" check box to enable your schedule Now Titanium Backup will automatically backup your messages at the specified time and day or days.

Note: You will need the Titanium backup pro key to access the batch operations.

The call history is in:"[CONTACTS/CALLS] Contacts Storage 2.2"

****Keep in mind our numbers will be different sms/mms/apn dialer storage 2.3.4 ***Call history: contacts/calls contacts storage 2.3.4

Enjoy......"

yes you are right but when I did a restore from there it didn't restore mms
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gpz1100:
While this method will work for restoring to/from roms based on a similar base. This will likely NOT work going from sense to say aosp or the other way around. In such cases you will have to use sms backup or similar.

The reason this is so fast is because only several .db (database) files are copied directly. SMS backup on the other hand reads/injects the text messages through the rom's api, a much slower process.

Question: I'm going overseas for 6 months, should I sell the gnex for what FMV is currently or wait 6 months down the road?

Considerations: I'm grandfathered in big reds unlimited data and probably going to have to pay out right for a new phone to keep said plan.

Like unlocked boot loaders and flashing stuff. Hence the shift to the nexus phones.

Selling the gnex now will pull more money now then later....

Well your cdma galaxy nexus will be useless the next 6 months, although you might be able to find a cdma carrier to wherever you go.

Considering that you can't find a cdma carrier, then you'll pay 6 months of verizon + whatever cellular you decide to pick up.

How much is unlimited data worth to you?

Don't want to pay out the a.. in afghan for service. I would like to keep the unlimited data and don't mind paying for what o want.

Someone give me predictions for six months out... please.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theking_13:
Sell it now since you won't be able to use it anyways. That's logical.

If you want a Gnex down the line after you come back, they'll be cheaper, and thus, you profit.

Hey everybody,

I just started roming my 7310 but so far AOKP B38 is the only ROM I can get to boot. Had some issues with apps uninstalling them self so I wanted to downgrade to a more stable version, most likely Galaxian Soup MileStone 5. I've tried several different ROMs and I always get stuck in a boot loop at the Samsung logo with the exception build 38. Any ideas what my problem might be?

My process is first Odin flash CWM 5.5.0.4 then adb push an updated CWM for the galaxy tabs I downloaded form there forms but have also tried the regular CWM. Then push the ROM and gapp zips, wipe dalvik, factory reset, and then install zip.

Thanks for any help.

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] nirogu325:
Always wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, and also wipe dalvik cache in advanced, aaaaand format /system in mounts and storage. All this before flashing any ROM, unless you ODIN. This is how I always do it. Keep in mind Build 39 has its share of issues, so you're better off using an older build in the meantime.

How can I (with my Galaxy S1 Vodafone UK):

Remove all personal DATA -(is that just wipe SD and Factory reset)

reflash the correct back to the correct Stock rom (I didn't note the original rom). I checked sam mobile there are a few uk voda FW. will any uk vodafone FW do - or is there a risk of bricking the phone?

also can i remove all traces of rooting (just in case)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jiffer1991:
If your phone gets reflashed by odin everything is gone

its like formatting your pc and installing a new windows

if you found a uk fw thats vodaphone branded u could flash it

but u could take one without branding too i mean u dont want to sell it back to vodaphone aint you ? sooo i could have bought it in a store without branding

Yes it should work

the uk reginal code just means that this rom was developed to be used in the uk

for instance i am living in germany but i have an austrian rom cus the value pack is not supported in germany

but it works like it would be a german rom

however

this should whipe everything on your phone

but for ur internal sd storage search for a program thats formatting it filling it with crap software and deleting afterwards again

this will 1000000% delete all data on external sd storage
