You're having him try something he is not looking for. He is simply trying to root the phone. The package from watsa/psych0phobia is #1- not I897 based and 2- a full rom. He does not want this

Please be careful in your recombination. Also once he has 10 posts he can ask further questions within that section.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crashdamage:
@ the OP:

1st of all, why is it SO important to be able to install non-market apps?

2nd, no offense but you don't seem to have the knowledge or skill level you should really have before attempting to root your phone. So...

3rd, do some research & reading. Make sure you fully understand the terminology and procedure for rooting your specifc phone.

4th, have a recovery & rescue plan ready in.case things go wrong. And be willing to accept the consequences.

I uninstalled everything I had related from trying to root. I couldn't get the free version. All I really need is something to root my phone via Mac.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TonyStark R.I.P.:
Why do you need to root via mac, when it can be done directly from the phone?

Just say anything here now, and you will have 10 posts. You will then be able to post in the Development section of the I897

I am running the latest unofficial CM Nightly for my touchpad. I just noticed that when I plug in my headphones, I can hear the sound out of the headphones as well as the built in speakers!

I have tried my best to search for an answer but I am not even sure how to word this question to find the answers.

If someone can help I would greatly appreciate it!

If this has already been covered...I truly apologize! I have tried searching with no luck.

I think it has been covered. If I remember correctly the solution is to plug your headphones in before you start playing music, or video..etc etc..

I created a tool a while back for Galaxy S II owners to backup and restore the '/efs' partition and perform basic NV Repair on their devices.

This proved so popular that I recently updated the application which now includes a feature to automatically detect the mount point of the '/efs' partition. This allows any supported device to be used with EFS Pro and also adds support for future devices.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Androxyde:
Here is a custom kernel where I edited only one thing : the ro.secure property in /default.prop to set it to 0

Stock Kernel for ICS

By flashing this kernel using fastboot, adb shell will give you a root prompt.

This kernel only gives root prompt to adb shell. Neither su, nor superuser nor supersu is installed by this kernel. Stock with root prompt only.

To dev :

Here is the command line to repack kernel :

python mkelf.py -o kernel.elf zImage@0x40208000 ramdisk.img@0x41300000,ramdisk RPM.bin@0x20000,rpm

The only thing which changed from GB kernels is ramdisk load address

To be sure to be as same as stock, I also took RPM.bin extracted from stock kernel. I Didn't check if it was differing or not.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mmoffitt9241:
Is it possible to set up the HOX to only sync certain things when on wifi? I have it set this way for my Dropbox ap and I love it...I don't have to worry about data usage (limited plan) for that. I was having a problem with the calendar ap drawing extremely high data usage, but if I could (for example) set that up to only sync when I wifi, then I could start it back up. If there isn't already a setting for this, I think the developers would do good to design one. There are probably many of us that have wifi most of the time throughout the day but the commutes back and forth or while out running around draw extra data for something I could just wait for when I'm on wifi...For example, if I'm syncing contacts, I don't need it done RIGHT THEN. If it waited until I was on wifi, that would be soon enough for me...Any ideas?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] stnguyen09:
If you use Tasker I'm sure you can set it up to turn on sync when wifi is on and turn it off whenever you turn off wifi/lose connection

You can do some pretty ridiculously complicated things with Tasker, but for most basic tasks like turning things on and off it's pretty easy. The hardest part is just sifting through the categories until you find what you're looking for.

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] PePPaZ:
When buying the phone today in Queens at a corporate store, they would not allow me to keep my 2GB $10 data plan. I was forced to upgrade to 5GB at $25 a month in order to buy the phone. The rep informed that I could simply reduce the plan back to 2GB after a month - however I am still very pissed off about this. I'd love for someone to confirm that is true and I did not simply get swindled in Spanish Harlem, the only store in NYC with any SIII's.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] eff0rtless:
dang its $35 for 5gb for me.... I had to upgrade from the $30 5gb data plan. I think as long as you had data your fine so hope they let you downgrade to 2gbs
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] ge3kswag:
you can lower it in a month but it's not simple. You have to go to a tmobile and buy a phone that doesn't require data, like the t359 or something. Have them put it on your line and boom.....nomore data. You can return the phone to another store a week later to get your money back. and go online to add the 2gig plan back.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] PePPaZ:
That is the most retarded policy I have ever heard. T-Mobile used to be good with this stuff.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Babydollll:
I was able to order the phone by adding a line and was given (and chose) the 2gb option.

Note: I am on a classic plan and the price for 2gb data is 20$
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] LadyGlockenspiel:
After I bought my phone I had to call a customer care rep and they "persuaded" me into a 10 gb/month with hotspot for $35/month. I come to find out that they left out the part where it was $35 on top of the $30 I was already paying for 5gigs and hotspot which was a special promotion I had gotten a few months back.I saw the $65 dollar charge on the website and flipped. Three reps and a lot of bull putty later, I get a customer loyalty rep who was the coolest guy ever and fixed it back.

Maybe try them if you feel wronged ;)
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] rooster_yang:
here is what i got

Here is what i got from tmobile customers service, i call tmobile on Monday ask for upgrade to gs3 , but to able get fully upgrade, i have to wait until April 2013. After i talk to the account specialist i able to get fully upgrade price for the galaxy s3 and keep my old data plan, which is 20 dollar data plan with 5 gb 4g speed . Now i have to wait until June 27 and call again for upgrade gs3

Forgive my poor english
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] MMakoto:

I am still using my old G1 unlimited data and text plan, will I be forced to upgrade it? They changed it to an Android data and text plan when I upgraded to the G2, but it stayed the same price. I pay right at $65 a month right now, wanna keep it that way.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] mhuckins:
Cell phone store employees make commission on "premium" services. I'd bet the 200mb and standard data plan do not make them any money.

If the manager okay'd everyone FORCING a "premium" service then the employees would. It's guaranteed money to them. Even if it is only $5 in commission, and they sell 20 of the SGSIII's, then they made themselves $100.

I worked at a Radioshack in high school. With my sales the way they were I was in the fast lane to manager training (which is kinda cool to an 18yo). Too many scuzzy people working in commission.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] kulzboy:
Hmm, on the web it doesn't say required. Only recommended. I call BS. Hopefully when I upgrade they won't make me change my current 2 GB plan
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] ge3kswag:
At the retail store level, it is required for them to put 5gig data on certain phones. This has been in place since the Vibrant came out.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Sergent D:
I had problems with my data plan as well. I'm on a grandfathered unlimited data plan (throttled after 5gb) and they tried to make me change my data plan. I told them no way and the store rep accepted it.

Later however, I found out that they had switched one of my lines (by mistake of course) via text message. I spent a half hour with customer service before getting transferred to customer loyalty and they fixed things for me.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Sergeant Medic:
If you upgraded your line or bought a new phone, the 5gb is part of the rebate requirement. If you wanted a rebate or they printed the rebate form for you, your data plan was upgraded and the sales person got a commission on your upgrade. they told me once I received my rebate, I could go back to a 2gb plan on the line in question. Check out the T-Mobile rebate page for details.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] kulzboy:
What? that's bull, they took away my grandfathered unlimited for a 2 gb data now this?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] aNYthing24:
I already have the 5 GB plan for $30 and when I order the phone online it doesn't make me upgrade - does that mean I can keep it?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] forgot2wipe:
i was asked if i would like to switch to the 5gb per month plan and said no, but he went ahead and still changed it. i had to contact tmobile customer support to change it back to 2gb.

I got mine this morning and I had a 2gb plan and they activated it without even mentioning or wanting me to upgrade my plan...went in with a 2gb and walked out with a 2gb.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] blue265:
For those that have been lucky enough to have received the i747 model, are you able to determine if there is an FM Radio tuner on it? I checked out the LTE i747 yesterday at the Samsung launch party in Toronto but I beleive they were pre-production models and firmware and did NOT have the FM app. Now whether the tuner exists but the app was removed or not added is a different story.

As many of you know, the international model has the FM tuner. In the past, the international model i9000 and i9100 also had it but the North American variants did not. I am not sure if the fm hardware tuner is located on the CPU itself and does not come onboard the s4 chip, or if AT&T and other carriers have decided to remove it.

In the specs for the i747, most sites list the Fm Radio as TBD for this model. I don't use the radio a lot, but it is nice sometimes. Also, it uses barely any battery and no data to use. So I am very curious if the FM app is there. And if not, I wonder if we could just extract the app from i9300 and move it to this model - which would require the i747 to have the hardware tuner of course.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Matrioux:
There doesn't seem to be a FM app - So no direct access that I could see. Doesn't mean its not there though.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Lootes:
Not sure if it will work, but here is the apk from the international version.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] blue265:
Thanks for posting the apk. It may require root as it is a system app but will defintiely try it when I get mine next week. I am fairly certain the HTC One X had the same thing where the FM Radio exists but the apk was not added to the AT&T firmware. People can grab the APK from the Rogers firmware and install it to their AT&T One X. So now that I think about it, if HTC One X has the hardware tuner and using an S4 chip, its completely possible that the hardware will be there on the i747 as well. Some carriers may have it removed so that you'll use data to listen to the radio instead.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Matrioux:
Won't install - but after root we may be able to
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] ewingr:
:eek: .... Surely AT&T didn't screw the hardware of of FM

AGAIN
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] PMad:
I also couldnt get that file to install, so instead i went to the market and downloaded just about every one i could find, and none of them worked. Many of them appeared to be working but not a single bit of sound out of the speakers/headset.

I believe they removed the FM Tuner hardware and instead, gave us the tunein app.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Woolios:
Yea so you use more data streaming data over their network
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] PMad:
I doubt that was their goal. AT&T didnt give us the 50GB of dropbox because they were afraid of everyone eating bandwidth and causing a network catastrophe like when the first iPhone came out. So i think its safe to assume that this was Samsungs move. They didnt give us the quad core because of incompatibilities with the LTE networks, so instead they gave us the Snapdragon S4 and compensated with an extra gig of ram.

They also removed the FM Radio, so i think they compensated by giving us the TuneIn Radio.... kinda lame....
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] NandroidRage:
I used the i9100 prior to picking up my new SGH-747M from Rogers yesterday. The i9100 had FM radio. The antenna was built into the headphones and there was an application on the phone. I noticed the SGH-747 headphones looked slightly different and wasn't sure if they would work.

I downloaded the international FM APK but it won't install even after my device has been rooted.. :( My guess is that the headphones that come with the i747 probably won't have an FM antenna built in though.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] americasteam:
Any headphones will work as the antenna.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] M2Iceman:
I currently have the GS2E4gT and since this phone has come out I have had a lot of issues with signal strength and signal penetration in buildings. I have a lot of dropped calls and although I love the phone for everything else, the reception is killing me and I was hoping that even though the GS3 has the same hardware baseband, I was hoping maybe something in it was helping with signals.

Anyone with a GS3 having better signal strength when compared side by side with a GS2?? I do have a rooted phone but even when brought back to stock the reception is still horrible. The area I live in in Mass doesnt have the best of coverage but even going into Boston where I should get 4G Wimax on the Gs2, it still horrible, Providence also. IMO I dont really feel the need to go to the GS3 because I feel its more of just an upgrade, but if the phone is getting better reception I would surely grab one. Thx
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] boomerbubba:
Your best hope is probably with Sprint's planned LTE network upgrades, which haven't been launched yet anywhere. Dunno when it will come to New England markets. Bear in mind that if you buy this phone now, it will work on 3G service. But you will lose whatever Wimax coverage you now get in Boston. After the LTE-based 4G network lights up, it should outperform Wimax by a lot, with better 3G service too.
