[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arsaw:
One X screen is very much brighter than GS3. One X screen colours a bit wash off and black is not so black. However, One X screen is better in movies as I find it showing much better details especially in dark scenes compare to GS3.

Not much difference in term of gaming on battery life for both GS3 and One X.

If screen quality is deal breaker for u, then go for One X. Else GS3 is better choice. I choose GS3 any day over One X :p

Oh ya, 4300mAh battery already available for GS3.... Ho ho, no problem to play games whole day :D
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlads:
Battery life is better on the sgs3 as it's a bigger battery, it's quite simple really.

Also when you ask a question be careful to not get a biased opinion, people with the One X are always going to favour their own phone.

Not saying the One X is a bad phone at all, because it's not, but in terms of screen quality, the SGS3 stands alone.

Gaming is going to be better on the SGS3, not by much but it will be smoother and battery life will be better, plus you always have the option to buy a massive battery from the likes of Mugen, Seido or Anker.

woaft. got a link to somewhere selling those? thats pretty amazing.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fallenwout:
Had both, screen on the HOX is much much much better, there is really no discussion in that.

To be honest, screen of the SIII sux. It gives me a headache with those grainy edges.

I still have the SIII cuz of build issues with all the hoxes I had. I gave up on the HOX.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mertzi:
besides all the build issues the screen looks a bit better on the one x, but you still have the flickering and the flex, it's been on all 5 hox's i've seen. The S3 has none if this but it's not as bright but black is black, and the pentile is noticeable if you like me have a very good eyesight but no dealbreaker.

everything else is better with the s3. The screen time is double, I could get 3h straight on full brightness on the HOX, I got 6h straight with 8% left on my S3 and that's after ONE charge and no updates.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedan55:
Thanx very much guys

I do love the screen on my one x and the developer support that the one x has for games and apps. But most get non tegra versions anyway so no biggie.

The battery life is the main thing so i think I'm going s3 and I'm getting the s3 version

emmm how can htc one x last longer when it uses 40nm quad cpu, lcd screen+1800mah battery? while s3 cpu is better in performance and battery consumption, s3 screen also consumes much lower battery than lcd and battery 2100mah? ^^
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lamboboy732:
I just installed aLogcat to take a look at the logs since I have been experiencing random wakeups, and I noticed that every few min the tablet runs somthing that seems to be an OTA update check. It says (minus quotes)

"

D/KeyBoxService( 5569): === StatusCode: SC_UNAUTHORIZED!

D/KeyBoxService( 5569): === OTA BEGIN

D/KeyBoxService( 5569): === Connection to http://wvdrm.asus.com refused

D/KeyBoxService( 5569): === Retry after 600 seconds.

D/KeyBoxService( 5569): === OTA END

"

the retry numbers seem to double every few tries

I tried the address in the browser and on my pc and it says can not connect. This may be causing my wake up issue because it seems to be happening right before the screen comes on.

I'm just wondering if anyone knows what this is or why it is failing, or if it can be a problem.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MartiniMoe:
Many users are facing similar problems if they had their mainboards replaced by asus before (uncluding myself).

Has your mainboard been replaced?

You cant call wvdrm.asus.com in your browser, but you can ping it ;-)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lamboboy732:
I don't think the mainboard was replaced. They fixed my camera and two muras on the screen though. Funny thing is when it came back from RMA it was factory reset on .21, so I rooted (by downgrading to .15 then OTA to .21) and set it up how I wanted, then I tried to update to .28 OTA a few days later and it failed because I modified the Keyboard.apk system app. So after this the update wouldn't show up via OTA again so I installed it manually. So, unless I messed something up, which I doubt since I only modified one thing which I reverted, how would the RMA tech replacing the mainboard cause this, and how can I fix it. Also I have factory reset the tablet multiple times as well since the tablet seems to wake up randomly.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MartiniMoe:
I dont know how it happens and what i wrote is all just speculation. But what makes me conspiciuous is, that many people who RMA'd their Primes are not able to receive updates via OTA and are not able to unlock their bootloader.

But since you received .21 OTA-Update after your RMA, maybe you are facing another issue....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lamboboy732:
Ok, thanks for the insight, just wondering since you don't have this issue does the KeyBoxService app run all the time in the background on your tablet? Because on mine it is always shown under running apps since boot up.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fuffzehn:
Hello,

I'm currently using Gingervillain 3.3 with root access but S-On.

Because I want to use the 4Ext Recovery i need S-Off but the revolutionary patcher tells me caroline had a segmentation fault when I am trying to use it.

Does anyone have a clue why it does not work with gingervillain?

Do i need to flash back to a stock rom?

Thanks in advance

Nico
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BU7CH4:
i'm not sure if you need to s-off your device.

i use the clockwork mod recovery (with ICS), and it works fine with s-on.

--> 2GB ext3 + amarullz app2sd

you could try the same.

have you partitioned your SC card correctly? most people have reported that it works best if you partition 1GB of your SD as ext4 via your computer (not in recovery)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
@BU7CH4

partitioning sd card has nothing to do with s-off...

@OP

- nandroid backup

- try bortak's troubleshooting guide, stickied to top of Q&A, number [3]

- (optional) change hboot to cm7r2 to gain more space, look for guides on how to do this, i recommend using fastboot

- nandroid restore

- install 4ext recovery, use app from 4ext.net is easiest
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fuffzehn:
A nandroid Backup is something im gonna do, too, did a CWMR Backup yesterday.

Borkat Troubleshooting tells me i need Stock ROM to change S-on to S-Off.

So do i need to put a stock rom on there, change s-off and then reload my old Recovery image and restore it to get my current system with s-off?

Edit: I'm gonna oull a backup with CWMR - and then do a full wipe and install the stock rom. Gonna change s-off then full wipe again and restore my backup.

That should work, shouldnt it?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gucci.Nexus:
Can someone please tell me where I can find out about USB OTG? For starters what does it stand for :rolleyes: It sounds to me that it is possible to attach external storage. I am very interested! Is it possible to play movies/songs straight from the attached drive?

If someone can please tell me more about it and what is required that would be great!

Well since your rooted and rommed lol get stickmount from the play store. Buy a 3 dollars usb otg cable from Amazon and wham bam u got mountable usb drive as long as they are fat32 unless ur kernel has ntfs support. It will mount the drive into a folder called usb storage on your sdcard.

Is ntfs better? Just wondering if it's worth it to try to find a kernel with ntfs support.

Not necessarily. On a fat32 can only put a 4gb minus 1 byte file on it. It is coded in a 32 bit format so that's why u only get a 4gb limit if ur files are smaller then 4gb then u don't have to worry. Ntfs will support larger files but I wouldn't recommended it on the phone.

i got one from ebay that said it was for a Galaxy SII...it was only a few dollars and the seller told me it wouldn't work on Nexus...but it did
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] highvista:
I'd hoped that the pogo pin dock would do the trick but, unfortunately, it doesn't. I modified my dock so that I could access the USB port while docked and tried it, but no dice. If the flash drive is attached, charging doesn't engage. Or if you are charging, the flash drive isn't recognized.

There is a hardware solution in the USB OTG specification for an "accessory adaptor" device for allowing charging while using OTG, but as far as I've found, no one has built one and offered it for sale.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bryantjopplin:
I'm not sure which ones are I'm sure they all will be fine.. I got a right angle usb otg cable because in landscape mode its not a nuisance.. Just spend three dollars or so and find out.. All it does is short two pins together to tell the phone its host. It's not hard to fudge that up lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bryantjopplin:
Well I have tried a y cable and otg cable stuck into a power supply but it wouldn't work for me. I think once otg is on the input turns to output and u can't charge. :-\

Hey Guys,

This is my first post. I have had my SGP for about a year and I thought I would try and install a custom rom. But I think it may have soft bricked my device and I am not sure how to fix it. I was hoping someone may be able to help.

Device: YP-GB70EW(B) 16GB

First tried to flash with this firmware: Eryigit_Rom_PDA_YP-G70_G70ZCKPA.R.3.5-Defult

Odin seemed to flash it fine but when the device rebooted it just loaded the samsung screen and stopped.

so then I tried to go back to stock firmware:CODE_G70ZCKPA_CL767152_REV01_user_low_ship_HOME.tar.md5

and I get the same issue. right how I have the device pungged into my computer and it is on the battery charge screen.

can someone please help me twith a step by step how to fix. I would reely like to get a the first rom I tried working on my device.

Thanks,

Andrew
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Well you softbricked your device because y ou took a rom that's not meant for your device. You have a YP-GB70 which is the korean galaxy player 5.0. The erygit and the stock rom are for YP-G70 US and Intl so you will need to find a stock korean rom in order to get it back to normal.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] WT Ho:
Have you tried wiping data and and do a factory reset in recovery mode BEFORE flashing the firmware?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] lolo9393:
Korean official ROM are available here:

http://ts.daumcdn.net/custom/blog/8...me.html?http://supportgp.tistory.com/notice/2

don't forget to wipe before flashing

good luck
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] aday12345:
Thanks I will give the korean stock rom a try.

I thought that Intl was for everywhere but the US.

does anyone know of a good rom like Eryigit that will work on my device?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] aday12345:
no as I followed the odin flashing instructions that where in the Eryigit rom thread and it said do do the wipe after flashing and some people said that it did not even need to be done at all.

but how I am past that point as the device will not boot past the samsung screen (I assume the samsung screen is the bootloader)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] aday12345:
Thanks,

But how do I do a wipe before flashing with odin if all I have is the samsung boot screen. (I can also get it into download mode)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] lolo9393:
wipe is done outside odin.*easy"

push and hold together home+vol+power for some seconds then follow given instruction.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] aday12345:
thanks for you help I will give that a try does it mater if it is vol + or vol -
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] aday12345:
Hey lolo9393,

once I get my device back up on stock I would like to try a good custom rom I have noticed you chatting on some of the other threads and was hoping you can point me to a good stable rom that I can install (ICS would be nice but not required)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] lolo9393:
No problem,

In case you are ready for custom roms you can investigate the very light and fast* Rice Rom With Ktensi White Wine Theme Rom Build2.

It is rooted and has no more bloatware.

http://soon-s.tistory.com/m/post/view/id/4

Other good choice is the GreenROM HD4.0. It is rooted, fully fonctionnal and bug free.

http://greenview.tistory.com/31

But if you really 'need' ICS ,for me not mature enough and buggy, you can try (at your own risk) this was done by our korean friends.

http://greenview.tistory.com/39

let me know the progress!

anyway, my own feeling about this "very good" device and the peacefull use i have of it (I am not a furious gamer) I don't need ICS, only root is required and mandatory.

regards
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] aday12345:
I agree about ICS (I hope we will see some more options in the future)

I also just need root, want to get rid of the bloat, I would also like to be able to mount a usb flash drive that would be nice.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] aday12345:
Hey lolo9393,

Sorry to keep bugging you I am just trying to dig my seft out of this mess....

I flashed "CODE_GB70KRKPL_CL985547_REV01_user_low_ship_HOME.tar" and I have got closer but it is still not working now my device gets to the samsung boot screen then it will play the little startup tune and display the "Galaxy Player" label but then it keeps looping on the "Galaxy Player" label.

I did do the wipe data/factory reset and the wipe cashe partition before applying the rom.

when I wipe data I get a bunch of errors:

- e:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p16 (/data)

- e:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p14 (/dbdata)

- e:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p15 (/cashe)

when I wipe cashe:

- e:failed to mount /cashe (no such file or diectory)

- e:Can't mount /cashe/recovery/log

- e:Can't open /cashe/recovery/log

- e:failed to mount /cashe (no such file or diectory)

- e:Can't mount /cashe/recovery/last_log

- e:Can't open /cashe/recovery/last_log

- e:failed to mount /cashe (no such file or diectory)

also do you know of another source for the "Rice Rom With Ktensi White Wine Theme Rom Build2" I click on the TAR image on the page and the link looks to be dead
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] lolo9393:
You are at the point I was six months ago while "playing" with new kernel that was supposed to give me many advantages. What i got was a permanent hard brick with the same advices "devblock not formated".

seems you have some memory block "un formated". It is not related to the pit file, don't touch it please!!!

only means is to put your hands into the grease (don't no if this sentence is english but sound well)

go there and do it in a calm and peacefull area!

1,what is kernel build 10?

It is the version of the firmware where generally it has been patched so that the current exploit method (root) can not be used.

how can i check,if my tablet is one of kernel #10?

Settings, About

In the about,my tablet show kernel 3.2.1 build10#1,is this ?

Yes.

2,what about kernel #10?

3.2.1 can't root?,or 4.0.3 can't root?

Normally in HC 3.2.1 where kernel 10 is, this root method will not work.

All ICS kernels (that we know of) have been locked down in the same way.

but i use all in one tool root succesed!and (china version) installer back google paly!

As we have discovered in AIO thread, Chinese tablets are different, so lucky for you.

3,can i make pre-root ics?

Yes, since AIO version 3.1 (i think) China tab has been supported.

is it safe for a kernel 10 user up to ics?

It is safe! Normally can not be done, but in your case YES.

Good luck
