[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrMrMr111:
I think may be getting confused with the naming convention in my files app. They are both SD cards, one extsdcard which I take is the micro SD card and another called sdcard, I take it as internal?

Is this correct? If so why are they both called very similar

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kchino:
internal = /mnt/sdcard

external = /mnt/extsdcard

If you choose save to SD from the camera they will be on your external SD.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrMrMr111:
this is the confusing thing isn't it, the internal also being called sdcard?!!?

thanks again

Dear All

I installed ICS LPD by mobile odin pro to keep the root, and evryting is ok, but i lost the cwm recovery app, I want to install speed mod kernel, because they say it will install CWM , but they also say it will install root, while I have already root, what to do:confused:

Some people have problems with franco Ics kernel, any comments?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Willy318is:
I'm Looking for the same, as NO instructions are there for our version of Kernel which is LPD.

Any ideas guys?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonpaslim:
:crying:

Just use your mobileodin and download speedmod k3-9 in tar file and flash, thats all.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akilesh:
As far the CWM App , you need to install CF root kernel for it. But all other kernels by default give you access to the CWM Recovery.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haints:
I'm going from a custom Froyo ROM to CM 7.2 and I keep getting the same error message, which reads, in part:

"E:Error in /sdcard/update-cm-7.2.0-RC2-vibranmtd-signed.zip

(Status 7)

Installation aborted."

I've tried updating my CWM recovery, tried a battery pull and booting straight into recover, tried turning off script asserts ... nothing doing.

So damn frustrating. Please advise!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
Use glitch kernel
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haints:
Found the kernel, installed, and immediately went into a boot loop ...

Tried not to freak out, pulled battery, went back to recovery, and ...

CM7 installed!

Rebooted, and ... CM7 went into boot loop! NO!

Pulled battery, wiped everything thing again, reinstalled, and ...

IT WORKS!!!!

THANKS SO MUCH xriderx66!

I've seriously been trying ALL DAY to fix this.

Much appreciated!

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hipster Dashie:
After a month of use I finally took my Galaxy Tab 8.9 back to the shop today to get a refund. Turns out that people weren't exaggerating that slowdown you get on Tegra 2 tabs... :(

Anyway! I'm in the market for a new Tab now. I'll probably hang on to see if anything is announced at Google I/O (like the rumoured quad core $250 tab) but if not, what's my best bet? The 7.0 Plus on Honeycomb or the Tab 2 &" on ICS?

My biggest concern is how well the 1GHz TI OMAP + PowerVR GPU chipsets in the Tab 2 hold up against the Exynos + Mali400 in the 7.0 Plus. As long as the Tab 2 can deal with 720p .mp4 video (which the 8.9 certainly couldn't!) and play decent games like Sonic 4, GTA III and Anomaly HD, I'll be happy.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 824587:
I have the SGT 2 10.1 which also has the same chip as the SGT 2 7, and I can say the 720p screen and ICS is too much for it. All the games play quite bad, even custom roms don't fix much of the lag. I am thinking of selling it and getting the cheapest Acer/Asus etc. quad-core tab.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hipster Dashie:
I'm hoping performance won't be as bad on the 7inch Tab due to the much smaller screen resolution. One thing I am considering is where I can reliably purchase a 7.0 Plus from, which at the moment seems like no-where. I have purchased it from online sellers in the past and had many issues, such as bad firmware or missing IRDA blasters.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miketoasty:
Personally (And please take this with a grain of salt as I purchased the Tab2 7.0) I would go with the Tab2 7.0. First off the CPU is easily overclocked past the Plus' CPU, so the only real advantage the plus has is out the window. The 7.0 doesn't have a rear flash, but to tell you the truth, if you are taking pictures with your tablet you are doing it wrong.

The 7.0 has plenty of speed especially after ROMing and OCing. Even without that, the tablet still flies compared to the OG Transformer I used to own. I don't know if the 10" is that much slower, but it sounds like an over exaggeration to me. Touchwiz is pretty decent on the tablet and leaves plenty of RAM (Usually around 500 MB after initial boot) to allow the device room to expand.

I was debating the two before buying and I just believe that the Tab2 7.0 is a much easier buy, especially for the price.

Oh and don't forget the 7.0 has ICS while the Plus is still stuck on HC, that's actually really big right there.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pinoymutt:
For the videos, I found on my Tab 2, some players are better at playing certain videos than others. For instance I have some 720p MKV anime files that play well with software decoding on one player, and run 720p mp4's like garbage. I then switch to the other player and the 720p mp4 runs smooth like butter and the mkv can't render.

So yes, the TAB can handle the 720 files, you just may need to find a video player (or players -- I use 3 different ones) that works for you. (1080 content though is pushing it).
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atabkv:
Just asking if you tried 1080p mkv and what was the result. Cnet reviews for Tab 2 10 showing slow frame rates while they said they couldnt get it to work on 1080p.

Im just wondering how come a Galaxy S2 phone can play native 1080pmkv just fine, with a few 0.4 (or is it 0.2) ghz dual core. I know that processors are made by different companies, so is the Texas Instrument processor just not powerful enough?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Metallice:
I just tried a 1080p mkv with diceplayer on HW rendering and it ran fine. Then again I am running a custom rom.

Also a 1.2ghz exynos > 1.0ghz OMAP4.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atabkv:
Just to clarify you did a test on a Tab 7.0/7.7 / 2-7.0 or a nexus?

[HTC Rezound] Cares:
I just thought of this.

I'm on a 4 person family plan all with unlimited data. The 3 other people are willing to give up unlimited but I'm not. I'm willing to pay full price for my phone but I figured out a way to get it for cheaper.

Open a 5th line for $9.99 per month. Use this line's upgrade every 20 months. Swap the upgraded phone with a spare feature phone.

$9.99 x 20 (cost to maintain 5th line) = $200

$250 (subsidized phone after taxes)

= $450

Paying $450 vs $650 for full retail would be a $200 savings. Better than nothing right?
[HTC Rezound] couchmonkey:
Yes but you would have to have data on that line also for a bit, then dump the data and keep a dumbphone activated
[HTC Rezound] Cares:
I can just keep data for 1 day and dump it...and that's where the $9.99 x20 comes in. Keeping it activated for 20 months.
[HTC Rezound] demmo86rt:
The problem is, as soon as you upgraded that line, forcing a new contract, they could, conceivably, seeing as you would be out of contract on the rest of your lines, force you out of unlimited.
[HTC Rezound] Damasterjj:
In the past I was able to activated the phone without adding data on my second line/dumbphone line. question so do they charge partial month for 1 day of data?
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
good question, I kept data on that line for a month just to be sure I wouldn't have any issues.

Also, if you are going to go this route, better off waiting for big deals like amazon's 1 penny deal.
[HTC Rezound] luke1333:
They will charge you for that half of day so like a dollar
[HTC Rezound] Droc1983:
If you buy off of Amazon it has to remain on the upgraded line for 181 days or they charge you $250. FYI

Sent from my Rezound
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
umm, no they don't. Bought several phones off of amazon, as long as the line stays active, they don't know what you are doing on it. They get a commision based of selling you the line.

I've bought 5 phones on amazon and swapped them between lines and put a dumb phone on one of the lines a month after I got it. No fees.
[HTC Rezound] brisdaddy1207:
That's my plan and it'll work don't let people BS you and say it won't. People trollen around because their not unlimited.
[HTC Rezound] motenak:
I'm a bit confused. I thought that after 06/28/2012, if you upgrade a phone thats on a family plan, with a new one at a subsidized price they force you and all lines in the shared plan to move to the new shared data plans.

That would technically screw the other people with unlimited data on the family share plan. Verizon might be able to get away with this because you have to sign a new contract for the upgrade. This contract would override any previous ones.

I could be completely wrong but I thought the reason you could keep unlimited data if you paid full price for a new phone is you don't sign a new 2 year service contract. Basically if you pay full price for a phone Verizon could care less if you even activate it. Not that a sane person would do this but you could go into a store, pay full retail for a phone and smash it with a hammer right there on the sales counter.

Am I completely missing something?

Another thing I can't figure out are people not in a family share plan. If someone only has 1 line with unlimited data, how can they force you into the new plans if you upgrade your phone at the subsidized price? You can't share data without having another phone.
[HTC Rezound] merlin66676:
I believe that after the 28th any line change, other than a device change for warranty or full retail purchase will require a new contract, therefore removing unlimited on all lines.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
They can't do that though without letting you out of your contracts. Each line has its own contract.
[HTC Rezound] giant22000:
Interesting topic here. I was thinking of something similar the other day. Definitely keeping up with this thread!
[HTC Rezound] jtornone:
Don't forget about the taxes and other charges on the line. I have around an additional $8-$9 in taxes and other fees on that line.
[HTC Rezound] graymonkey44:
My plan was that since my sister has the 2 GB data plan that if I ever had an upgrade in the future, I could give her mine and then buy the phone with her line, then just put my SIM in it. I still keep my unlimited and get the subsidized Price
[HTC Rezound] 1454:
You don't have to keep data activated at all. They don't require it, yet. I did this with an upgrade to the Tbolt for the reasons you said. Heck, if you buy the phone 250 then pay the 350 ETF you still come out ahead of paying full comp.(albeit not by much.) The actual line charge ends up being about ~14 a month. so really 280 instead of 200. But that being said, its still cheaper than the full retail way. I had the money to buy the Tbolt outright, but I still did it that way because it was cheaper.
[HTC Rezound] z0mghii:
What do you mean you do not have to keep data activated at all? Are you saying there's a way around paying for data for a smartphone?
[HTC Rezound] 1454:
No, just on the new line. She never activated data on my "new" line when I bought the thunderbolt. She just activated the sim to my current number and I put it in. Which now, if I did it again, I wouldn't even have to get a new sim. She, the VZW rep, just activated an old Krzr I had on the last line and it is still there without ever having data activated on that line. I was saying that I was never charged extra for not having data on that "new" line even though I used it to buy a "smartphone".
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
He means putting a dumb phone on that line that doesn't use data. Then you just pay the line fee of 10 bucks a month.
[HTC Rezound] Cares:
That's quite a bit of taxes and fees. I'm only at about 3 to 4 on my lines. So let's say $15 per month.

$15 x 20 is $300 plus $250 phone is $550 which saves about $100 still. Also remember new lines have no upgrade fees so technically another $30 saved.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
IMO much easier to just buy the device unsubsidized. If you can't afford it then you just gotta bite the tiered data. Kinda lame but that's the name of the game.
[HTC Rezound] 1454:
I had no problem affording the tbolt, but I was saving like 100 bucks after taxes and fees by doing it this way. Not to mention the ever so tiny amount of interest that could be gained buy doing this. Albeit like 5 cents, it all adds up. If you can't afford a device unsubsidized then you probably shouldn't be buying a smartphone anyway.

Also it sounds more complicated than it is. You really don't have to do anything on your end. I told my rep to activate an old krazr I had. It cost me no more time in the store than I had ever spent.
[HTC Rezound] Bradh024:
Boy I wish I was rich like some of these people.
[HTC Rezound] eaglet1223:
I got my Thunderbolt through craigslist for $100. I only upgraded to the Rezound because it was $50 with excellent specs and I was due for an upgrade. Despite the inherent risks of using craigslist, I would never pay full retail. I have also heard good things about Swappa.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
Craigslist is Ok. Just have to meet at a Verizon store to verify clean esn.
[HTC Rezound] gottahavit:
This was my understanding as well. I dont see how this will work, they're gonna force you on new plan at first upgrade
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
I bought a spare Rezound off Swappa a while back.

It was in mint shape & the guy Fedexed it to me.
[HTC Rezound] Cares:
Your understanding is wrong. Please read the many FAQs around the internet regarding changes.
[HTC Rezound] 1454:
I'm pretty sure that's impossible. Reason being is that each line has a separate contract. You will just be required to sign up for data on that line. But if you just have them activate the phone immediately on the other line and have a dumbphone ready to be activated it will just cost 9.99 plus taxes and fees.
[HTC Rezound] pkopalek:
I just emailed Verizon about maintaining individual data plans on each line of a family plan.

I'm going to work to make this happen. i can't lose unlimited data. It's my only source of internet.

VZW Jerks.
[HTC Rezound] Cares:
Not much work required.
[HTC Rezound] pkopalek:
That's what I'm hoping for!

They should just be throttling data at peak hours (or limiting data at peak hours the way they limit phone minute plans at peak hours).

At 3am, there's no way that their towers are so over-used that they aren't able to monetize their plans. BS.
[HTC Rezound] 1454:
Exactly. If "peak"/"off peak" cell minutes make sense, then why not data?
[HTC Rezound] Cares:
You can afk and download overnight but can't really talk overnight.
[HTC Rezound] 1454:
You *can* talk overnight, just most people don't. The same goes with data, most people pack up and go to bed at 11 or 12ish. That doesn't mean that there isn't people out there that operate much later. I know in college I didn't really use my phone before about 11p. Now I will concede the point that one is *less* likely to use the phone vs. Data after xtime, that doesn't mean that it won't be used.

I already had a comparison poll about cases for galaxy s3. Otterbox defender, Casemate glam and SGP Folio, and i've decided to get SGP folio and try to place an order now. But, I just found another case from sgp website. I bet this case was released for other devices. Has anyone tried this case for your old device? If it's better than folio (http://www.spigen.com/samsung-galaxy-s3-leather-case-folio-series.html), I would get this one because it's made of suede material.

I had Argos for my iPhone 4 and SGS2, I generally liked them quite a bit, but at times, the flap clamp tend to get a little loose, so you have to sort of bend it down a little to get more friction between it and the phone.

does anyone have more pictures of the SGP Argos?

I really like the looks of it in the official picture, but i found this review for the galaxy s2 version where you can see a massive bulk at the bottom. does the s3 version have this too?
