[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hlhmark:
Hi guys just a couple of quick questions if anyone can help out with them :). Ive currently got my Note running the UK version of ICS and i have rooted and switched the kernel to the newest version of speedmod 3-3 but my rom is still the stock samsung rom which is ok but i have heard that flashing a different rom can bring new features and speed the phone up in general usage aswell.

Im currently looking at Lite'ning Rom ICS V2.0 as it seems very clean from what ive seen on XDA, i tried to have a quick look on the topic of the rom but its updating really slowly and i cant post in the developer section where the roms are so thought i would ask here.

Can i flash a Rom to my note safely or is it going to be dangerous with my kernel being speedmod and am i limited to what sort of roms i can flash.

What roms could be recommended, preferably ones with few bugs. Ive had a look at PARANOIDANDROID but im not sure if i like the whole tablet touchscreen icons on the bottom bar etc.

Sorry if it doesn't belong in this section and for the wall of text:D

You can follow the instruction provided by xdadeveloper:

1. download AbyssNote 4.2 kernel and place it on your internal/external SD Card

Also download the ICS Rom you want to install and put it on your SD card.

2. reboot to CWMR and do a backup of your current system

3. after your backup is done, stay in Recovery

4. go to install a zip from SD card --> select AbyssNote 4.2 zip and flash it

5. go back to CWMR's root menu --> advanced --> reboot recovery

6. you'll find yourself in AbyssNote's Touch Recovery

7. factory reset --> wipe cache --> wipe dalvik

9. flash the ICS Rom of your choice

10. reboot and let the Rom settle for a couple of minutes

Hi all,

Is there anyway you can set individual notification sounds for different google applications?

I really want gmail, and talk to have osunds just for them. But I cannot seem to find the option. I am therefore assuming that it is hard wired that they have to use the default sound but heck you never know!

SORRY JUST WORKED IT OUT
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] teleknEsis:
So the other night I let the battery die on my Galaxy Nexus (GSM version). When I went to bed I plugged it in and the battery charging animation came on screen but when I pushed the power button the screen would go black and the phone wouldn't turn on. I let it charge overnight but it did the same thing in the morning.

So I started doing research to figure out if others have had this problem and how to fix it. I came across a couple solutions but none worked for me. That's when I figured out my own solution.

I unplugged the phone and took out the battery. Then, I plugged the phone into a power source. Next I held down the power button and slid in the battery while still holding the power button. A second later, voila! The phone powered on!

I wanted to make this thread in case anyone else had the same problem. Hope this helps at least one other person!

And for what it's worth I'm running CM9.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JaiaV:
This is currently an issue with CM9. If you plug your phone in when it is powered off you'll have to remove your battery prior to turning the phone back on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] guesswhotehe:
Your photo stategy worked for me too!

THANKYOU SOOOOO MUCH. <3 I was about to freak cause my phone wouldn't turn on after it died. That's never happened before. I'm so happy this actually worked (: Holding the power button while putting in the battery, with the phone already plugged in. (: Thankyou for posting this! You just made my day!

When I press home button there is like 1 second timeout before homescreen is opened. I never noticed the same timeouts on any other android handsets. Is it done for purpose? And could it be disabled, so that home button work imidiatly?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] americasteam:
I believe this is caused by S Voice. The home button launch can be disabled in the app itself.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hpsauce37:
Doesn't really help, I've disabled mine and noticed no difference.

It seems your phone keeps thinking it's connected to a dock, hardware fault, take it for warranty.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glevitan:
Fix your hardware....if the volume rocker gets stuck you will have problems even to revert to stock...do it now and get it fixed.

My DHD is not under warranty and HTC support is so bad in UAE, if I take it to repair it will take at least 3 weeks :( took a sensation for a screen replacement, it took them 1 mounth after a week the screen is dead again I took it back now it's there for almost 2 mounts:mad:

I really don't to send them my DHD

Can't I just diable the dock mode?

Thanks for your input guys.

I found this video, as I was comparing the benefits of S3 over an S2.

I thought, that the 4 cores would have made a difference in opening apps and surfing with the browser.

But there is hardly any difference?? :eek:

Do you think, that the developers will work towards the 4-core processors or not?

I think it will take another few years, till the quadcore will be used appropriately. Till then, the S3 will be replaced by newer models. :(

As sad as it is, most probably quadcore development will start as soon as apple decides using quadcores.

What do you think about this video? And what benefits are left to buy the S3 if everything is the same?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cba1986:
Pointless. This video was posted weeks ago.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hpsauce37:
I have come to a similar conclusion, quad core seems to offer no real benefits (that I can see) over dual core. My HTC one s, is much smoother and quicker than my gs3. We're it not for the fantastic screen I would keep the HTC. I can't see one possible benefits to quad core at this time.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aami.aami:
i dont agree with u on that. S2, no doubt is still among the top phones in the world but not after release of S3! S3 has quad core, it opens apps in almost double the time it used to open on my s2 or even Note! as far as the development for the quad core is concerned, samsung is a pretty mean and biased manufacturers when it comes to taking the crown in almost any field! they would not let any smartphone beat their flagship at least until the release of S4! what i found after using my S3 for 4 days is that quad cores of s3 are actually not fully unleashed until now, thats the reason samsung is not giving out new roms with real good performance boosts! samsung is working on providing the best possible roms and updates to the s3! it would not leave its flagship alone! i did exactly everything the guy in the video was doing and i find my s3 much faster than his! and btw, i have not rooted or flashed the phone at all untill now! its just out of the box rom!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Totòòò:

Yeah the OP is right Quad-Core is useless lets ditch the Quad, Hex core CPU and lets go back to the good old E5300.

I can't believe people, honestly.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tylerdurdin:
Regardless if the SII is slower or not....being a dual core up against a brand new quad core.....the SII is a bad ass.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aridon:
No one is saying that. It's just useless for this generation until software starts actually being able to use it in the future.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pratz852:
Yep this is what I was saying.

I think the 2GB RAM and maybe LTE would have been more effective for this generation, than the quadcore. The Koreans are rumored to have both Perks :cool:

Oh is your S3 faster than the one in the Video?:confused:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omersak:
SGS2 - 800x480 = 384,000 pixels

SGS3 - 1280x720= 921,600 pixels

what you tits don't realize is that the SGS3, with it's magnificent 720p resolution screen, has to push a whopping 2.4x more pixels than the SGS2 - making the quad-core vital in providing a fast, fluid and buttery smooth experience - which surpasses even the SGS2 (with its ****ty resolution) making it an even more impressive feat in engineering.

It simply blazes past devices with similar screens and resolution and makes them seem laggy (Gnex, Note, One X)

Hence, the SGS3's main feature isn't merely it having a quad-core processor, it's actually utilizing that quad-core processor to provide a the fastest, most seamless and unmatched user experience at such a high resolution.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danielsf:
I like poketnow, but I do think this video and the whole notion of the s3 being as fast as the s2 is wrong in my opinion I got my s3 a few days ago, and I still have and use my s2 clocked at 1.4ghz, and it is defiantly more laggy and slower. Web rendering was so much faster and smoother (although it was just as smooth as GB used to be on the s2 before Samsung screwed up ICS for the s2), and opening the same cpu intensive apps put the s2 to shame. Yes when opening things like the phone, or messaging app there was no difference and I won't expect them to be, as how it opens instantaneously on my s2 anyway, so there is so room for speed improvements. Also, I remember sites saying there wasn't much difference between the s1 and s2 speed wise when the s2 came out, and looking back now the s2 feels sooo much faster than the s1 simply because there are a lot more complicated and cpu intensive apps compared to a year ago. In other words I do think my s3 is much faster than my s2.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tomatoes8:
Really? It seems people have very different perceptions. My previous phone the Qualcomm S4 HTC One X stuttered like someone on withdrawal from heroin so I went to try all the HTC One X and One S display models I could to see if it was just my handset. It wasn't and the One S was also a stuttery mess.

Funny how different perceptions can be.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tylerdurdin:
Dude save it.....I mean give me a break. If this is no the most blatant fan boy post I have ever read. The SGS3 is still pushing 720p to a pentile display....compared to SGS2s super amoled plus..... Its a great phone but compared to the OneX its only marginal in most areas. Nobody said the SGSII was better....just how comparable it is. To top it off I have read many posts that say the quad core does get shuttters so save it...that wasn't no BLAZING SPEED they were just showing in the video.....lay off the pipe.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ascertion:
In all honesty, anything the sg3 can do, the s2 can. Its a jump in performance, but the s2 is already pretty fast. The only reason I'm upgrading will be lte capabilities.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omersak:
It seems as if you're in denial. The SGS2's chipset got a similar resolution pentile screen and that lagged like no tomorrow. the quad core in the GS3 was necessary to make the experience lag free.

And the SGS3 is quite a bit faster and smoother than the One X (Tegra3 - i haven't used the krait one). Try loading up NOVA3 on both, or browsing the web, or anything for that matter.

Note: i'm not discounting the fact that the One X isn't a great phone. It has it's points that best the SGS3 but speed and smoothness is clearly NOT one of them.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Baldilocks:
I've had both One X devices. AT&T branded and the International version. I also had the GS2 International. The GS3 (Quad Core), hands down, blows them all away as far as performance goes.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norpan111:
Milliseconds starting apps etc doesn't matter, what matters is the Smoothness. The S3 is far more smoother then s2! Someone who tried cm9,is it smoother / faster then stock.?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
It's probably better to post this in the SII section where more people will agree with and not have to argue about it here. The people who are here not to troll are likely going to get an SIII anyway, no matter how good the SII is. Same goes for One X supporters. It's fair to make informed comparison, but don't be an authority over other people choices. Wasn't there already a dedicated thread for comparison:

Let me go take a screenshot on my Galaxy Nexus. ........Yep, its 1280x720.

Also to repeat myself from previous page:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] venkatesh.velmani:
Yeah, totally agree with you..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mafiatounes:
I do not agree with people saying the S2 is as fast as the S3, the S2 had several updates with optimisation etc to put this against a S3 with the first retail rom is just not fair! I remember the S2 when it came out it was laggy. The S3 with stock rom is silky smooth and the first Android device to provide a lag free experience even when it is pushing way more pixels than the S2. And yes i want a quad core device it's called technological progress we've seen this with pc's as wel and many people said it wasn't necessary and so on, would you back to a single core pc?

To me what is important is that the experience with the S3 is way better than it was with the S2, and i'm not saying that the S2 is not good but the S3 is simply better and future proof, soon apps and games will take more and more advantage of this.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clninja:
I agree that quad core is completely not necessary right now. That's why I was excited to see the US variants having the snapdrsgon S4 krait chip instead of quadcore. That chip. Paired with 2gb ram is much better than the overhyped quadcore. Proven by benchmark tests showing it beatingout the quadcore

Also... I'm upgrading from my rooted gs2 to the gs3
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Baldilocks:
The dual core S4 outpaces the Exynos on about 25% of benchmark tests. I wouldn't call that beating out......
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tectas:
Look closer at the benchmarks, the only point where it beats the quad is at single threaded benchmarks and it won't take long till multithreading hits Android like it did before at desktops.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Baldilocks:
Exactly. The S4 does outperform the quad core Tegra 3 quite often. Maybe that's where the confusion comes from. The Exynos is definitely a better processor than the Tegra 3.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimJ87D:
Are you guys kidding me right now? They're not even running close to the same kind of firmware. The S3 has to have all these sensors on at all times, S Voice is integrated, etc and etc.

Run them both on CM9 with loads of apps and then we have a real comparison. But right now this is a Disneyland half ass mickey mouse comparison.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tomatoes8:
This is getting ridiculous. Let's just say some people notice a noticeable performance increase and some people don't. Of course there was some fanboy drivel thrown in there but that happens in every topic.

I am in the camp that sees a noticeable performance difference between the Qualcomm S4 and the Exynos 4412 so far. Of course I have to wait until I can test the North American version of the GS3 to rule out HTC screwing up the Qualcomm S4 somehow but so far the Exynos a lot more fluid right now. As far as the people that think that this train of thought is just fanboy drivel, well, just check out most of the reviews that say the same thing, namely AnroidNZ and Phonedog specifically mentioning that this phone takes Android fluidity to a new level.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimJ87D:
The problem is that people are noticing but aren't realizing. That's what's wrong with the world.

We're pointing out a year old optimized device to a new if not still going through consumer beta phase device which has dozens of more features loaded onto it than the other.

It doesn't make sense how people can't see this (well half of us here do). The other half is just here for the sake of not having anything else to do but to write out the first thing that comes to mind without taking time to think.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wond3r:
Wouldnt a real comparison be stock s2 vs the stock s3? and NOT any CM ROMs or mods
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimJ87D:
No, because the topic is pretty misleading. When someone reads it, it sounds like their hardware is on par because it says "everything." Very misleading in many ways.

Change the topic to "S3 running its stock rom is as fast as S2 running its stock rom" and I bet there wouldn't be as much, but maybe a slight few, outcries here.

This might sound a little extreme for exaggeration, but what if I say my Windows 98 computer can open its internet explorer as fast as my Windows 7 computer? Because it can.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nativestranger:
Just because the htc dual core phones doesn't perform as smooth as the Samsung s3 doesn't mean that difference is due to having a quad. They have completely different software optimizations. I have used both version of the one x and the quad core version stutters even worse. Someone also tried disabling 2 cores on his tegra3 one x and it made no difference in perceived performance.

The galaxy S3 performs smoothly due to very optimized software and proper caching in apps. It has very little to do with having a quad core processor. Swiping around home screens, apps, browser and menus i seldom saw over 30% cpu usage with a cpu usage monitor. This indicates majority of time a single cpu core was is use and sometime 2 cores.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tomatoes8:
Yeah I agree, I make no claims about quad vs dualcore. I just said it is funny how different our perceptions are when it comes to the One S and the GS3 performance differences. With him saying the One S performs much better and with me saying the opposite.

I agree that software and optimizations make an enormous difference. Just look at the 800mhz and 512mb ram IPhone 4s and single core windows phones as proof that you don't really need quadcore or even dualcore.

That however, doesn't mean quadcore makes no difference though. Even if the current difference only involves gaming, it is still a difference and has a small chance of making a difference in the future.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theraffman:
Definitely at this point you can't make a claim that the us is or isn't faster than the int'l... The us hadn't even been released yet. And the one x isn't a comparison because it has half the Ram and runs sense which we all know is a resource hogging succubus... But it sure is pretty lol. Just a few more days, hopefully, and we can get some good, workable comparisons. But my speculation is that there will be little difference in the two... Aside from data speeds.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tylerdurdin:
No sorry homey I am not in denial about anything. Nor did I imply that any phone was better but your claims of lag and pentile displays are bull****. RGB matrix and pentile matrix are not the same..... Lag I can honestly say its a rare BS story of someone crying about lag on the SII....once again though the claim is not that the SII is better on ANY level just how pathetic it is that it is still comparable. The SII had the best display on a phone period when it came out.....of course they had to ramp a display up to 720p to out do it....which was also easier to do as phones got progressively bigger. In short it SHOULD have a better display. In fact it should be doing everything light years beyond the SII. It should also KILL the H1X on the very fact its a Samsung .....and Samsung makes thee best handsets period. Its just a marginally better handset across the board not a truly superior device across the board.

Here's a small read on RGB and Pentile.

http://www.oled-info.com/super-amoled-plus

On side note I love all these phones but have to accept there is no truly dominant device and for me that's sad. The S3 disappoints me a little bit more than than the Gnex.....and the iPhone button is a huge letdown.
