[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] epic4gfaded:
I've noticed the same problem, but only when using the cheap USB plugs you can get for a few bucks at a gas station. Happened with my rooted ET4G and my wife's stock skyrocket. While running GPS and driving.

never did figure what caused it, would love to know my self.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] HaiKaiDo:
A few things to remember about ICS and using it while on a charger (or anything data related) I know that my phone has always gotten hot when I was doing alot of tasking things like web browsing or netflix, but it is worse on ICS. Atleast one if not the biggest reason, is that ICS has full gpu acceleration so now you have no only the cpu burning but the gpu which by nature always burn much hotter than cpu's. Ive noticed that if i just have it plugged in and not doing anything its nice and cold, but as soon as i open chrome and start browsing the web i could cook an egg on it. Also this one i dont know about, but 4G totally turns my phone into a raging inferno lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] btaylor545:
See I nvr thought of the gpu thing and that makes sense. Playing games on gb this things gets hot shutting else its usually pet cool to warm at the most. But ics always runs hot
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jeff_roey:
New to the Maxx and I'm running on stock, rooted until the ICS OTA pushes. One thing I noticed is I'll occassionally loose auto rotation in my apps like the stock pix viewer, google maps, etc. and a restart is required to get it back.

The auto-rotate option in settings remains checked.

Interested to see if the next update fixes the issue but until then, anyone else experience this or know of a fix? Thanks!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] thebeeobee:
I installed the AndroSensor app so that I could see if the sensors were still working correctly when I lost auto-rotate, and they still seemed to be registering values. So I think the problem is 100% software based.

I'm running stock, as well.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] smed1275:
I have this prob too. Running stock rooted.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stormvice:
Did you solved this problem? I´m with the exact same scenario on my Rarz XT910. ICS stock rooted
[Motorola Droid RAZR] hansip87:
I have no such problem. But u might try to install Rotation Locker app to test the rotation function. Or if you'd like to try, you could do what i wrote here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=34107613&postcount=1 maybe that will help, but i'm not sure :p worth a try though :)

[Windows Phone 7 General] fatclue:
After going through four different WP7 devices and trying to make something work, I've decided to place my beloved Windows Phone down and promote my trusty old iPaq 910c back to pack leader status. The reasons are simple, I need a device that handles MS Office, I need a device that I can map my network drives at home and at the office and I need a device that I can tether my XP-based laptop/tablet with USB. Facebook, picture sharing and all that jazz is unimportant to me, I need a tool and not a toy.

Android is not an option because frankly, I can't stand it anymore and I insist on portrait keyboards (physical). iOS does not do what I need out of the box so that's out as well. webOS dropped Picsel's Office Smart support for Pre devices a while back which was my reason for coming aboard WP7 in the first place. There are times when I can't lug my tablet around so my phone has to carry the entire load and I can't do without a CAD viewer, this is non-negotiable. Right now, there isn't a viewer in the Marketplace.

By now you must be wondering why on Earth would I choose the iPaq 910 with a miniscule 2.46" screen. Real simple, when I can't lug my tablet with me there's always my equally trusty Redfly at my side. Go ahead and laugh but that thing's a God send. I have a real keyboard and a large screen, plus the fact it connects via Bluetooth so the connection is client-side. My phone never has to leave its holster. Windows Mobile is the undisputed champ for customization and "usable" apps. Yes, there is a CAD viewer for Pocket PC and it rocks on the Redfly's screen.

I am hoping that my "benching" of WP7 is temporary and that Microsoft has seen the errors of its ways and will put all of WM's functionality into WP8 or address some real short-comings on Mango (7.7?). Until then, can anybody suggest to me how I can fulfill my needs? Call it making Chicken Salad out of Chicken Sh!t, if you will.
[Windows Phone 7 General] hamzie:
Cool story bro
[Windows Phone 7 General] barclays:
well, i must say your needs is rather special to major trend :D

but i think WP7 does handle MS Office well :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] pvt_nemesis:
Developer unlock and 8773 - all cited issues solved for me...on an HD2! Just takes a little patience and some reading.
[Windows Phone 7 General] StevieBallz:
Unless the Unlock materialized a CAD App it still is no option for the thread opener. Normally I'd suggest to have a look at Android because it is the most flexible option currently around which is quite likely to make it able to support use cases that are not mainstream.

Concerning Windows Phone 8. If it actually is based on the WinRT then it might be able to support those use cases although it might take a while until there are Apps able to display CAD Drawings, etc. BTW what kind of CAD format would you need supported?
[Windows Phone 7 General] fatclue:
A viewer for .dwg files is all I need on the phone, my iPaq handles that without any problems. For the more involved applications (3D rotations and such) I use an external cd-rom on the tablet. This will always be a necessary evil since the Autodesk apps for iOS & Android are pretty limited.

What kills me is that all the functionality from WM was guillotined out of WP7. I read somewhere that WP7 is also WinCE-based yet it is so bare. I know my needs are "unique" as far as these boards go but anybody in the design/build industry shares my frustrations.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jez9999:
It's relatively easy to disable data roaming on an Android device in the "Wireless & networks" settings section, but the phone still tries to connect to other services via roaming like voice and SMS. Is there a way to disable ALL roaming whatsoever? I know about airplane mode, but that completely disables all connectivity, and it's also annoying to have to remember to keep turning airplane mode off and on again when I enter/leave the vicinity of this network. I'd like to be able to connect to my network but not allow any roaming.

Why disable? Becuase the network offering the roaming isn't one I trust, as I think it may be intercepting and recording my data. So I don't want my phone to use it.

It seems Windows Mobile has a relatively straightforward to do this by selecting "Don't roam". If Android doesn't have any option to do this (no, not Airplane mode - that disables ALL comms!), then that is a rather annoying lack of a feature!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thonzak:
This might not be the answer you are looking for :-) but your operator should provide some means to prevent roaming completely; your phone then would not be able to access any other network for any service apart from emergency call.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] polesp:
Does anyone know where I could get an original replacement back cover for my white galaxy s3? For some unknown reason My S3 has a black dot on the upper back side. It is very small, about a mm wide but it still nags me... As you can see from the attachment, the dot is underneath the hyperglaze layer as any amount of cleaning doesnt get rid of it...

Does anyone know what i could do?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Michael_P:
If it's manufacturing defect you can get it replaced under warranty.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Joshnz:
I have the same problem, same place as yours just opposite end. Already had 1 S3 replaced under warranty due to SIM card slot being faulty, not keen to try my luck with this.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] polesp:
I've sent an email to the customer services asking for a replacement, hopefully it will go through. I am not willing to send my phone to them, especially since this is faulty on a removable part of the phone...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] polesp:
Just got an email back:

"Thank you for contacting Samsung.

Please note that Samsung do not provide covers as part of the warranty.

You can purchase spares, replacements and accessories from our official resellers listed below:

www.amazon.co.uk

Third party manufacturers may also produce accessories for this device, however we are unable to recommend any product or company in particular.

If you require any further assistance, please contact Samsung again and we will be more than happy to help.

I think this is unacceptable... The cover is part of the product, and when the product finish is not sufficient I am entitled to a replacement. I mean that was basically what the whole blue galaxy s3 delay was all about... another thing is the sites that they provided me do not have any sort of original back cover for sale..
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pigglett:
I'd would definitely push for replacement if it is a manufacturing defect...if you are in the UK quote the sale of goods act and fit for the purpose etc .. Quick google wil give you the full terms .... State trading standards if they don except the above

Good luck
[Galaxy S III Accessories] rat170:
This absolutely is unacceptable..... Samsung loves to treat their customers like ****.... My SIII didn't play music through any headphones except the original that comes with it, and they refused to replace it saying that we do not give warranty of any 3rd party accessories......
[Galaxy S III Accessories] polesp:
Yeah, ive sent them a 2 page email quoting the "Trade Descriptions Act 1968", I am appalled by this. It is funny how they can dismiss me without any true argument. Sometimes i think they assume we are all idiots...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Tomatoes8:
Yeah, that is pretty unacceptable and one thing they need to change if they ever want to be Apple. They need to let their employees do what they want to please the customer.

After reading that again, it might be just a communication problem. Sounds like this person thinks that you are just asking for a spare cover when nothing is wrong with your old one.

You might have make sure they are aware that your cover is defective or they probably have the right to request that you send the defective cover in. Either way, keep *****ing and I am sure they will cave.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] polesp:
"Thank you for contacting Samsung and I have pleasure in providing the following assistance.

In response to your query, please be advised that if the back of the handset came with any markings then you would need to contact the original retailer of purchase regarding this issue. The retailer would warranty the device for the intial 28 days of ownership. If it was sold to you in poor condition then they would be able to exchange the handset.

If you require any further assistance, please contact Samsung again and we will be more than happy to help.

After dismissing 3 pages worth of communication, they are now blaming the retailer... The only thing is that with the retailer, I am pretty sure that they would tell me to go to Samsung...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] dehaani:
Your warranty is with the retailer. Besides the warranty, you have a right to reject the goods for a short time after purchase if there is any defect.

A lot of people think the manufacturer is responsible for warranty, this is *not* true unless you bought directly from the manufacturer. Samsung will dictate the terms of the warranty and may or may not provide the warranty service to or on behalf of the retailer. The legal responsibility is always with the retailer.

Did you buy it from a market stall or something?

---------- Post added at 12:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:58 AM ----------

If the cover is in good condition when the product is purchased then anything that "happens" to it would not be covered under warranty, as any "happenings" would be (accidental) damage. The only exception is if the cover had a pre-existing fault which was not obvious at the time of purchase; imagine trying to prove that!

You aren't dealing with a warranty issue, rather product quality and fitness for purpose. You need to reject the product, not claim under warranty. These are entirely separate issues!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] polesp:
So it would be just best to go in-store and return the phone and get a new one? I bought it from the Tesco phone shop. I am just worried that they will dismiss it saying it is not a significant issue... What arguments can I put forward?

The fault was always there from the beginning, It started to bug me lately and seeing how it costs £20 for a genuine replacement I am appalled..
[Galaxy S III Accessories] dehaani:
Personally it wouldn't bother me and I wouldn't return it, however...

It's a £500 item which you would expect to be aesthetically perfect, there should be no issue returning the phone for a swap if it's done at the earliest opportunity. Rejecting goods in the UK does not have a legally defined time-scale, the law states that you have a "reasonable time" reject them; the time-scale varies depending on the nature of the product.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pigglett:
I'd take it back to Tesco ..print off the Samsung email as proof

Good Luck again

p.s take no poop off them ;)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] richjhart:
Unfortunately, they are technically right though. Particularly in regards to the Sale of Goods act. The contract is with the retailer, not the manufacturer. I'm quite surprised they haven't just replaced the cover as it must cost virtually nothing, but they are within their rights to refuse if it's not covered by the warranty. The retailer should replace it though.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] PaulieWallie:
ebay

I picked one up from ebay, worked perfect.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] CZ Eddie:
So one reason you see bazillions of iPhone accessories everywhere you look is because there are bazillions of same sized/functioning iPhones out there.

The primary reason Android phones haven't had the same aftermarket accessory success is because every other phone is shaped different or has ports in different spots, etc.

But with 9 trillion pre-orders for the SIII and every single one of them shaped exactly the same with ports all in the same spot... I do think we'll be seeing an incredible aftermarket for accessories within just a few months.

Just thinkin here. Don't mind me.

Can't wait to blow my cash on stuffs. :D
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ReggieTee:
iphone accessories are out there due to the number of phones that are sold. if the galaxy line sees big numbers, you'll see a ton of other companies pick up their production of GS3 accessories.

Picture this, I listen to music all day receive a lot of text and emails. The notification bar sometimes slides down and starts either calling or getting into menus, recent apps, etc.. This happens whenever the phone is woken up in my pocket only Sometimes im doing some carrying and or weird body positiones and the phones power button will get pushed waking the phone and down goes the notification bar.

Makes sense? I'm sure I'm not the only one. Besides what's the point of it being a "lock screen" if it doesn't lock??

[HTC Amaze 4G] stevedebi:
The screen is capacitive. That means it should not react to your pocket, if I understand capacitive correctly. It's not like a touch sensitive device. It needs an electric charge to activate the touch screen (the charge from your fingers). I've not had mine react in my pocket.

I have the drivers and everything on the laptop so it should connect but it just won't. Is there anyway to unroot the phone without using a computer so he can take it to the sprint store so he can get it repaired? They won't repair the USB cause its rooted. But I can't unroot with my computer because the USB connection is borked. Any help would be appreciated! :)

Even if the phone is rooted they are still supposed to fix it. Why do some stores give people such issues over root? At least have them flash it to stock. Or get mobile Odin and flash a stock rooted rom. If the store is turning you down over a custom rom, they probably won't know the difference.

Edit: also, clean your USB port. Make sure its not bent in there and touching the side of the port.

Anyone have experience using AT&T Straight Talk? I'm planning to jump to the $45 unlimited plan, but I've heard some terrible things about their data policy being overly strict with what you can do with it (like no streaming from Youtube). I am a fairly mild data user only averaging about 300-500mb per month. I will only rarely stream from Youtube and don't want my data service suspended just for the occasional streaming.

Anyone with experience with this provider please leave a comment about their opinion about the data service and speeds and coverage. Only AT&T ST, not T-Mobile ST.

Thanks in advance! :)
