You know, for someone whose been a member since 2010 you're kinda acting like an ass right now. I figure after 168 post you would have learned to not disrespect people in their own threads and to not be a ****. Not everyone buys their "Top of the line" "High End" "Smartphone" to just make phone calls and send text messages. Why even own a "Smartphone" if that's all you do?

While it seems that he is indeed phishing, he asks a good question. Gaming is a big concern to a lot of the people(especially the younger members)on these boards. It's a legitimate question and if you don't think he's asking it in good faith(i.e. asking just to gloat) prove him wrong. Post videos of the US SGS III running these games with no lag. Post replies with your take on how the device handles games from your own experience. Don't just come in and start talking **** on someone.

These games and applications are out for our "High End" mobile devices to be played lag free while pushing the devices GPU to the limit. If our 600$+ High End Smartphone can't keep up with what's currently available now, what's it going to be like 6 months to a year from now?

It's unacceptable that people always push that same old mantra of "Buy a gaming PC, or a PS Vita, Or a Nintendo DS, or an Xbox 360, or a PS3 if you want to play games". That's total and utter BS. I'm sorry if some of the other members on these boards expect more out of their 600$+ Smartphone (Or just any Expensive High End device in general) than you do.

Awesome, good talk. I feel like we made a lot of progress there, and I'm very proud of you!

P.S. And remember to always have fun!

P.P.S Sorry for calling you a ****, it was mean and I feel bad now.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Vaddy23:
The reason why I was curious about the T-Mobile version of the galaxy S3 was because I was thinking of selling my international version since I'm stuck on Edge.......... Would rather just get TMobile a version with Hspa+ if the performance is largely the same.

So I've got NOVA 3 running on my ATT galaxy S3 by changing the build.prop to a galaxy S2, but I'm seeing some EXTREMELY poor graphical performance. Maybe 3-5fps during any on screen action (running around in empty map is fine).

I agree that performance like this on the absolute latest device is unacceptable no matter how you cut it. I feel as if the GPU is completely off. Somethings gotta be wrong...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] nonmindo:
I'm running NOVA 3 fine on my T-Mobile GSIII, it lags a little, yea, but its def not any where near 3-5fps, id geuss in the 15-20fps range (might note that while I have purchased the game I found a copy of it online that had the device check removed, this was prior to finding out that the build.prop edit worked, and NO I will not tell you where I got it, nor will I send you the file! XDA is not a warez site)

Also I can pretty much confirm that its all about optimization for our GPU, you all have to remember while its Adreno based, things obv change from version to version, so what is optimized for PowerVR (GS2) may not be optimized for Adreno 225 (GS3) I know gameloft is slow as dirt with updates, but EA DID update Mass Effect to work on the GSIII, they made SPECIFIC improvements to the game for the GSIII

Before I could not even get the game to load past the intro video, but after the update optimized for the GSIII this game is BAD A$$, Butter Smooth (hehe) never laggs, phone gets REALLY hot tho after just 15min of playing

Gs3 t999, i9300

I owned the t999 for about a month. It was a great phone for everything except gaming. The two gigs of ram is just a ploy to make americans happy that their phone is less powerful than the international device. Now The S4 processor is a great chip, everything runs smooth and fast, but the adreno 225 just doesn't have the power to produce some of the effects that are produced by the Mali 400. I will post some pictures im kinda nerdy and i spent some time with some different devices taking pictures in the same location.

The first and third images are i9300. And the second and fourth are t999

Thats why i traded for a i9300

What's the difference between Cdma, +hspa, && GSM can someone fill me in?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] allspark2020:
GSM is the 2g technology with which you can get field speeds Upto ~250 KBPS

With hspa you get 3g with download speeds upto 21.1 MBps

CDMA is a different technology. I think v2 of CDMA is on par with 3g while v1 is on par with 2g

I removed a bunch of bloat apps with Titanium and wanted to restore S Memo to try out S Voice a little more and discovered that the restore doesn't work. It opens but immediately FCs. All the other bloat apps install back just fine. I even pasted in SMemo.apk,SMemo.odex,SMemoProvider.apk,SMemoProvider.odex from an S3 rom dump and no go. Any ideas? It isn't incredibly important but still driving me a bit nuts.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] tsm26:
To clarify, I'm trying to see if anyone knows the full dependencies for this app. I have searched high and low on xda and others and this app is specifically problematic but it SHOULD work when on stock with TW.

I was also trying to work this out the other day. There are some guides on de-odexing the S memo app which, thinking about it, might hint at it's dependencies.

There is NO best kernel, just like there is NO best ROM. People use different settings that can make their experience vastly different then yours!

Just my .02 anyway
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linuxxp:
I agree with NYYFan325. Everyone should try different ROMS and KERNELS to find the best combination for yourself. I am with this: ROM: Slim ICS 4.0; KERNEL: Matr1x v.22; Unlocked; Rooted; Ondemand~Noop; 100 - 1000 MHz; Deep Idle - ON and the result is this: Screenshot 1; Screenshot 2; Screenshot 3; Screenshot 4

Currently the best result for me gives Matr1x. The latest version is very stable and fast (v.22).

Just try a few KERNELS. There is a theme with collected KERNELS and ROMS.

This is the first time I rooted my phone and I used step 6 on this link in your forum http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1238070 .

I selected the i9000 but stopped there because I figured that I should try to fix this situation and be able to select the fascinate, before I move foward. Please help me move foward so I will be able to put a rom on my phone. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidstyle:
rom manager is useless for the fascinate...
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MultipleMonomials:
I also ran into this issue. If your CWM is not "sticky" (it goes to System Recovery <3e> when you reboot recovery), you must flash the appropriate version of CWM with ODIN before a ROM flash. (CWM ALL.tar for bml roms [anything that is not cm7, MIUI, or ICS] or cwm4_fixed_for_cm7.tar for MTD ROM's [cm7, MIUI, or ICS])
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidstyle:
if the op would of followed the guides instructions correctly, he would not of ran into that issue in the first place...:cowboy:
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nymblz:
But if that's the case, why does Koushik make a ROM for the fascinate and have it available on his site?

(Does the Epic4G simply represent all CDMA phones, and the i9000 GSM? Don't see why that would matter anyway tho)

(I can't post a direct &#% link yet, but it's on his website.

This makes absolutely no sense!? He's got ROMs up there for just about every Android phone on the market, all to be used with ROM Manager.

I wanted to install it via Odin but naturally that would be too simple: it's a zip file and Odin won't recognize anything but tar and 2 others formats.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MultipleMonomials:
You can flash any .zip ROM with CWM. There's no need for ROM Manager. BTW, you can post a link if you uncheck "parse links in text automatically."
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidstyle:
all you need to do is boot into cwm recovery via the power menu and flash away. the problem with rom manager on the fascinate is getting into the right recovery...causes more problems than its worth on this device. make sense yet? probably not since you have not been down this road yet, but many of us have. so take the advice given or dont and learn the hard way.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nymblz:
Honestly, I am trying to take the advice given but not all of it fit my situation.

I'm definitely something of a noob to Android (Not to linux or IT though). I've had my phone for all of a month and rooted it only days ago.

It's all starting to come together, finally. It's tricky for a noob because there are so many different versions of the phone hardware, versions of Android, this or that kernel that only works with these ROMs, old/newer versions of those, old posts and advice, newer posts with adjusted advice.. etc.. It's been a week long crash course!

Anyhoo, I couldn't flash/upgrade CWM because it didn't stick from the original Odin install. When I rebooted, I'd always return to the stock <3e> recovery. Even after two more installs of CWM via Odin.

I used the cwm-recovery-all.tar in your guide, Droidstyle. (great job BTW)

I followed the directions in Section 6 to the letter. I even printed it out and highlighted key sections.

So you see, I was in a catch-22; I needed CWM to flash CWM? Odin was my only option at that point.

Then I read on another thread here about renaming the /system/recovery-from-boot.p script, and installing CWM once more.

That worked, so now I can finally boot into CWM recovery like a happy man. (I also tried a more specific version of CWM for good measure: cwm4-bml-i500.tar, not really sure if that made a difference)

So I made my first real nandroid backup last night.

Next on my list is a new kernel. Still deciding between KGB, lean, and whatever else is out there.

I still don't get the whole mess with ROM Manager though. I agree with you, DS, I just don't get why he'd have zips for every phone under the sun but his own app doesn't seem to allow them to be used. It's bizarre. The latest reviews on the market are not flattering either.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobloblaw1:
You are on the Samsung Fascinate. If it is Verizon then it is model number i500. If it doesnt say Fascinate or i500 it isn't for your device and you don't need to worry about it. If you flash something that isn't stated as being for the i500 or VERIZON Fascinate then you will have a lovely new temporary paper weight.

You couldn't have followed it to the letter because it is a well known fact that if you boot up with a stock kernel still flashed it will replace your recovery. Droidstyle certainly knows this and certainly accounted for it in his guide. So, you need to either boot directly into CWM or flash a non-stock kernel prior to rebooting the phone.

Yeah it sounds like that will work...not the most elegant way to take care of it...but it sounds like it would be okay.

We already talked about the kernel situation. Consider Geewiz if you want something thats all-in-one and pretty much impossible to mess up. KGB is good. Leankernel always gave me the best battery life but YMMV.

He showed no interest in helping the devs here get ROM manager working (again) on the phone. If you gave him money, blame him for not providing the support and resources to get it working on this phone. Some people are umm...."lacking in people skills."

Oh, and as great as the Gingerbread ROMs are...the mtd ICS roms blow them out of the water ;)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jblparisi:
Well, to make it short I found someone interested in doing an even swap on their used LG G2X for my mint Infuse4G.

Has anyone here actually owned or handled both devices and would like to offer their view on it? Since I have never really handled a G2X I am not sure it would be worth it in the long run.

Obvious advantages are:

Dual core, supposedly official ICS update, fully functional CM7 including Bluetooth ?

Things I will miss the most that I can think of right now:

The 4.5 inch Super AMOLED Plus, and super stable hardware when running 2.3 Gingerbread.

Wolfson DAC on the G2X is also a big plus.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ryanscool:
Why would you get an lg phone.... they suck. My friend went through 6 lg phones before he went with some sort of an htc phone. If you just use your phone regularly then go with the g2x. If you want a phone with a better screen and probably better development, go with the infuse.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bobthq:
Omg...u remind me of my super bad experience with t-mobile. Yes i had the g2x when it first came out, so excited, but the first day of use: random reboot ALL THE TIME (while calling, in my pocket, while charging), the battery gets super hot as if it was about to explode, while calling the proximity sensor always ****s up, it wont let the screen turn back on when its away from ur head until u reboot the phone. I was in my 2 weeks of trial so i decided to exchange it for another one: exactly the same **** happened. I told myself, it could be the software, so i installed custom roms, same ****. So i did another exchange: SAME PROBLEM!!! so please dont ever get that piece of ****, clear the word LG from ur head. I went to At&T becuz tmobile tricked me to get stuck with their 2 years agreement even though i was still in my trial period, but thus is another long story...

If u r with at&fees, stay with ur infuse or get the galaxy S2 or S3 to get dual core and 4g. If u r with tmobile ditch ur infuse because u will never get fast internet and get a SAMSUNG tmobile phone

Don't get a G2X.

It's a terrible device.

I am an ex-owner of a G2X, which I returned due to quality problems. It's not the only one that I found online with problems. I chose the Infuse over the G2X and the Infuse is so much better.

Here's why:

1.Screen bleeds at the corners: terrible.

2.Camera is very cheap, and the quality and focus accuracy are bad. 1080p is sluggish.

3.Online reviews said the battery life was very short. That was an understatement.

4.The one I got had a bright spot on the IPS screen.

So, all in all. Be a dear and don't torture yourself with such a terrible device.
