[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boityler:
Confirming about Straight Talk

So I live in Thailand right now and have an International Samsung Galaxy SIII that I purchased out here. I've been looking all over the place for information on what pre-paid services in the US support 3G speeds on this phone and found lots of conflicting info. I'll be moving back to the US soon so I wanted to confirm that what I think I read above is true. If I head down to Wal-Mart and pick up a Straight Talk SIM and pop it into my international Galaxy SIII, I will get 3g speeds over their network?

Thanks!

Yes you will get 3g speeds with straight talk
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablofreak:
:( argh i wish i had researched this earlier

bro in law came from overseas with the s3 international edition to the US. I told him dont worry about data access and when he landed we just went to the store and got a microsim for $70 unlimited talk/text/5GB 4G (HSPA+) data. I told the sales associate about that being an international edition and he said it will work with their HSPA+

turns out he can't even get over EDGE speed, no 3G no HSPA+. so we paid all that money to go on their slow network with limited coverage? epic fail. good thing i have a spare samsung galaxy exhibit 2 that is HSPA+ capable so he can use it.

but his superphone is now stuck on wifi mode. what a mess. i thought GSM was meant to be easy:eek:. (i'm on the VZW LTE galaxy s3)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Baldilocks:
As a simple rule -- 99% of International phones that have HSPA+ will NOT have the correct bands for T-Mobile USA.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hs78bb:
samsung galaxy S3 i9300

yes it will work on T-mobile and yes it will work on most of the networks that are GSM and more around the world. i have been reading alot here

and i have gone over the spects on the phone here is some secrets on this phone the modem/ programming in the phone is same as T-mobile S3 now the base band can be changed on the phone thrue programming if your technical minded you can do it quite easy. next i perfer the quad core and i baught one of these phone's next any one can go to bestbuys site and look up this phone they sell it in the usa both 32gb version and also the 16gb version of the samsung S3 I9300 international phone and they even under the specs say it will work on 4G LTE and all the othere's and it will do AWS its just not enabled you have to enable it. all this confusion on this phone is realy not knowing whats truely there in the phone.

im telling you also fact that HSPA+ is not LTE it infact is 4G now for those that realy want real world value in speeds it depends on where you live and also how the Tower is Tierd on its bandwith and if its fiber or DS6 or DS12 or DS24 feed we realy cant gripe 21mbs or 23mbs is very good from a year ago in most cases that way faster then you will get from DSL and on a phone. when dealing with Cell phones alot comes in to play how far you are from the tower and weather and also how many people are on that tower no matter what we say there is diffrences that will effect the speed.

now any questions

Edit i think lmao

Lmao just looking at an old bookmark i had in my bookmarks.. even though this is going in 2 years, i call BS on myself. I am hoping i meant to put 11-13 mb/s.. All the years I've had T-mobile i dont even think i hit 20mb/s. I dont know how they are now with their LTE. I ended up switching to AT&T and have note 3 with a very happy 65-70mb/s down and 15-25 mb/s up. I dont call BS on that though. I have proof this time lmao. It'd be nice if att still had unlim data. I would gladly pay the 29 for mobile hotspot and cancel my home internet from time warner cable. I have their highest package $74 a month for "50mb/s down" witch i never get even close to that.

Again, Just seen this bookmarked in my bookmarks and i read what i said and made me laugh so just had to clarify.

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SLOmtb:
Hello, everyone.

My Kindle Fire is rooted and running stock version 6.3.1. It had been working well for about a month.

This evening I plugged it into the wall charger while having dinner and watching the game. I came back after the game, about three hours later, and saw that the LED was still yellow. Oddly, it should have been green by that time. Unplugging it, I saw that the battery hadn't charged at all. This seemed really odd, so I shut it down by holding the power button until I saw the dialog box asking if I wanted to shut it down.

I waited a few moments after shutting down and tried to start it again. First I saw the familiar blue and white screen I've seen since rooting it (side note: is this the current FireFireFire logo?) with v1.4a then it went to the yellow and white splash screen and remained stuck there for a good five minutes.

Something seemed really wrong, so I leaned on the power button for twenty seconds and tried booting again with the same result.

I tried plugging it into the computer to see what KFU says. It reported that the Fire is in bootmode 4000 (normal).

I've got a backup made about ten days ago with TWRP, but I moved it from the SD card and onto the computer. If I can't get the Fire running again, do you think I might yet be able to restore from this backup?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kinfauns:
Yes, 1.4a is the latest FFF and it sounds like something is wrong with your system software.

Restoring from your backup might be a good idea. You can use FFF's recovery selection to get back into TWRP (I'm guessing this is your recovery). If you aren't familiar with how to do this... Start up your device and watch the power button LED. As soon as it goes from bright to dim, press the power button again (sometimes it takes a few presses) and a selection menu will appear on the display. Press and release repeatedly to scroll through the options until recovery is selected and then wait.... it will boot into recovery.

Use the "Mount" feature to get to mount it on your computer and transfer the backup onto the device. You should then be able to restore your backup.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SLOmtb:
Thank you! Yes, I'm using TWRP for recovery. Never thought I'd actually need it. I'll give it a try tonight.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SLOmtb:
I think I'll change my username to "flabbergasted." You can call me that. The Fire is working again.

Thank you, kinfauns, from the bottom of my heart for your help with this and your excellent guide, Kindle Fire For Beginners.

As you suggested and instructed above, I booted into TWRP recovery (version 2.1.1) and selected the Mount feature. This caused an Autoplay dialog box to open on my Win7 desktop with an option to Open Folder to View Files (Using Windows Explorer). Selecting this option opened a window displaying the contents of the SD card. I thought wrongly that I was going to have to push the files using adb.

Navigating to the folder in which I placed the backup folder (in this case named "2012-06-08--19-15-36" which I surmise is the date and time of the backup), I cut and pasted the entire folder to the window showing the contents of the SD card under the filepath:

Removable Disk G:\TWRP\Backups\0000000000000000\2012-06-08--19-15-36

I then carefully disconnected the Fire and used Unmount before returning to the main menu to use the Restore feature. Here's where something weird happened. TWRP didn't show the backup set I had just copied onto the SD card. I had to power down and reboot before Restore displayed that backup set. Restoration itself took a couple of minutes.

I then used the System option under Reboot to restart the Fire, having found that if you use the Power Off option, it will subsequently continue to boot into recovery. It booted into the home screen as I had left it about ten days ago.

The Fire is now charging.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Comet1966:
Ok guys and gals, I know I have posted a question like this earlier just bare with me, because I am not really any good at decision making. So i can get the sprint Galaxy Nexus for 100$, is it worth it or should I wait or should I buy it because it's the latest Nexus? I see that Sense 4.0 and the Sony roms are not on the sprint Galaxy Nexus, are they planned to be? I really just want to know if you guys were eligible for an upgrade at this point in time would you buy this phone right now or get a different one? Thanks to begin with!!:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
got it even knowing the sgs3 and the evolte where right around the corner. Couldnt be happier. Bought it the first chance i could which was about two weeks after launch day.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mathfreak2000:
Depends on your preferences.

The Galaxy Nexus is great if you:

1. want the Android that Google designed, free of modifications by phone manufacturers and carriers

2. want to be able to unlock the bootloader (and, subsequently, root) your phone fairly easily

On the other hand, the Galaxy Nexus has some drawbacks:

1. no removable storage

2. 5MP camera - not too good compared to some other phones

3. shorter battery life (because of the AMOLED screen)

4. and a few other minor issues
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Comet1966:
?

yeah but now all those things are out and im stumped and its kinda cheap for the phone. I wish people were into lg products, because the lg viper is 20 bucks and it beats the galaxy nexus in quadrant.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmegalodon:
If you're looking for a deal, then I'd say yes. $100 isn't bad with an upgrade for a GNex. IF that isn't your main priority, even though it seems it is, then I may suggest checking out one of the aforementioned devices during the trial period (14d), more so the GSIII than than the EVO LTE.

I will say the new EVO is pretty sweet, have had some time with it as my buddy has it, and the battery has shown to be significantly better than the GNexus. The cameras do not compare, either. I'm not a big shooter, and even though I find myself taking some sweet pictures with the GNex ... it doesn't compare. Factors, though, of course, as it depends on usage and what you're looking for. Remains to be seen how the GSIII will compare, but I'm wanting to get my hands on it.

If it came down to the EVO LTE or the GNex, I still think I would go for the Nexus for multiple reasons; straight Google experience, SW keys, sexier device. Again, it remains to be seen how sweet that new Galaxy S is, but if you can hold out that long .... check it out for that week or two and determine what you feel to be the necessary decision. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
... you place to much value on some stupid benchmark app. Does the lg viper run ICS? Let go of your own confinements then you shall truly be free.

Sent From My Sprint Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Comet1966:
thanks for the reply and I don't have the money for either of those atm as i am 14 but the only thing that is holding me back from going an buying right now is the camera isnt the greatest, but i dont take many pictures, no removable storage and a cheap 20$ LG viper beats it. The only reason im not getting the viper is there isnt much developer support and lg isnt very good on software updates.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Comet1966:
Its expected to soon but idk if its gonna get jelly bean? And no developer support.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
Oh so you know... no the LG viper does not run ICS and... looks like a POS phone... if that is your only other choice... get the nexus.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theangryheretic:
So I recently picked up an Asus Transformer Eee pad, and I'm loving it. There is a bit of quirkiness that I am noticing. And it may just be that I am new to ICS and this just is the way that it is.

I have had a Motorola Droid X, and now use an HTC Thunderbolt as my phone. One each of those phones, the micro sd card was mounted as /mnt/sdcard.

That is not how the micro sd card is mounting on my Transformer. It is under /Removable/MicroSD.

Is this the correct mount point and not /mnt/sdcard? The reason for this questions is that I use the app, WiFi File Explorer, which uses a web interface to add and remove files to my phone, it mounts the sd card as /mnt/sdcard on my phone.

When I saw that my Transformer was not mounting with the same mount point, that is when I thought something was wrong.

Can someone point me in the right direction on this one?

3. Relock bootloader via fastboot

4. Load ruu while in fastboot

I have been staying away from flash since my previous phones were not so kin to it. I winder how well Flash works with Galaxy Nexus.

Can anyone give me some feedback or is flash still a thing to stay away from it?

Well I flashed my phone at the first day I got it! I'm using franco kernel and my phone has become super fast with a great battery life. 21hrs on battery with 5hrs screen on time on franco.Kernel r190. I'm using cm9 but liquidsmooth is also good. So I recommend you to flash your phone with franco kernel and see the magic yourself ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akash3656:
I think he meant Adobe Flash Player. Well regarding flash, I use adfree and adaway. So I don't see flash ads that hog battery. Also, I've set flash to load on demand, that way its usually off unless I watch a video. The thing about flash player is that its mostly OK. However, flash player doesn't like certain video streams. It just will get stuck in the middle of the video and never load. Solution is to avoid those video streams. Battery takes a noticeable hit though if I watch stream videos using flash player compared to the YouTube app... and the phone gets warm to touch.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hawon:
Yes I meant adobe flash. My main reason to install is to watch amazon prime video. I shall try it with on demand setting. Thanks

I would try Thousand Clocks or Ultimate Custom Clock in the Play Store. I haven't used either since I am satisfied with my current widget, but I have heard good things about the former and its customization abilities. The latter seems to be highly customizable too, and judging from the Play Store description, it seems like you can use any font on your phone, so if you can import a cursive font onto your phone (I think the Play Store description tells you the directory), then you should be set. I hope this helped and good luck :)

The .629 update has been nothing but a headache. All I am trying to do is flash the new stable CM 7.2 mod on a D2G running a rooted version of .629. I constantly get stuck at the "M" boot logo then because of the locked bootloader, have no choice but to .sbf again and start the process all over. It's definitely becoming a hassle!

So I ask are any of these thing possible:

Flashing CM 7.2 from a rooted .629

Restoring a Nandroid backup from earlier (a CM 7.1 nightly that ran fine)

Not having to re-do the whole .sbf process EVERY TIME something goes wrong with the boot process.

I've searched up and down but I have just run out of patience. Any help is GREATLY appreciated.

Sincerely, exasperated.

If you're installing CM7 from the official Cyanogenmod site, that's exactly what you are doing wrong.

Repeating this for the 52nd time: official stable builds of Cyanogenmod 7 available from the official Cyanogenmod site are made for 2.4.x firmware and are incompatible with 4.5.x and its kernel.

You must be on 2.4.x to run official CM7.
[Android General] krispuniq:
I have been waiting for a long time assuming some developer might take up development for Xiaomi Mi-ONE phone which ships with MIUI ROM as stock, with recovery that can let you boot into two different partitions for flashing an updated ROM when you need etc.

However, there seems to be absolutely no interest in developing for this phone, even after the sources are out ! I bought this phone hoping I can make good use of the "unlocked from factory " ecosystem. The phone has a recovery, but it can flash only an update.zip file which means i can only update the OS with a newer MIUI version that releases every week. Other than that, there is no custom kernel/recovery that i can use with this phone, simply because there is nothing developed yet.

Having a custom recovery would help people flash MODS like beatsaudio apks & libs, framework mods etc . I somehow like this phone even with all this handicap of custom recovery not being available yet, but hope some one starts a development effort for this beast of a phone and help ppl like me :)

I would myself try and help in whatever way i can for the development of this phone, but since i have never tried any development activity for a phone, i am at sea !!

Esteemed developers, plz help :( !!
