The GSM extended battery will give you 14% more use than the standard battery. If you get 10 hours normally, expect another 1.4 hours...

I like it more because it adds more weight. :D
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s_m_a_s_h:
I've had an s2 for little under a yr and after the impressive features, games and ability, I'm now just using the device as a normal phone (as it should be), with the occasional satnav app, and mainly for music.

Apart from the screen size and sheer speed of the s3, is there any alternative advantages to be had having the s3; except of having the latest device.

I'm rooted with stock ROM.

Not worth upgrading TBH

Read the other exact same posts >> should i upgrade to S3 etc .

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matttye:
It's easily worth upgrading. If you read a lot, Smart Stay is a godsend.

NFC tags are INCREDIBLY useful. I've got one in my car that puts my ringer/notification volumes on full, enables bluetooth and starts Spotify for me. Even though it only takes about a minute to set the phone up, it's very repetitive when you have to do it every time you get in and out of the car. This is also a "future proof" feature for when mobile payments become more popular, which they will do, especially with things like Barclays Paytag pushing for them.

The speed difference is incredible, as is the much longer-lasting battery.

I bought my S3 outright as I was still in contract with my S2, then I sold my S2, so I basically got the phone half price. It's easily worth an upgrade :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Doughnut:
Personally I wouldn't IMO its not a monumental upgrade...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shook187:
Definitely not worth the upgrade. The GS3 is mostly filled with gimmicks like Wallet, NFC and a few other that a average user like yourself will probly have no use for. Also the phone isn't that much faster then its predecessor. Yeah its a bit faster but not much faster that one will notice without benchmarking.

Thanks for the heads up all. Appreciated

[G2 and Desire Z General] decompleter:
Just reectly rooted an HTC Magic and got access to brand new LED colors that I haven't seen on that phone before, EX Bright Pink, Light Blue etc. The LED looks very similar to the hardware in HTC Desire Z. Can more colors beside Amber and Green be unlocked on the Desire Z, anyone knows any more info?
[G2 and Desire Z General] .A.J.:
No the HTC Desire Z only has 3 colors (green, orange, red) available-even when rooted. It's a hardware limitation. Having grown accustomed to the multicolored LED in my G1, I was a little disappointed. Oh, well.
[G2 and Desire Z General] waterscent:
Well dont forget about the trackpad light. So we hae 1 more.
[G2 and Desire Z General] revwillie:
yeah, I was bummed to loose the extra LED colors when I graduated from the G1 to G2. I hate to think there will be no REAL G3 to carry the torch this fall.

my G3 would have the G1 LED and keyboard with the G2 trackpad and updated CPU, memory, camera(s), +2100mah battery.
[G2 and Desire Z General] kbeezie:
Multi-colored keyboard lights would be kinda cool though :D
[G2 and Desire Z General] .A.J.:
That would be pretty sweet!
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] darthbii:
Want to get SGS3 touch tones, water unlock and lock sounds, and make the menu and back buttons have a water like effect like the SGS3??

Well you came to the right place, here I am going to teach you how to get those with a simple tut, read on:

DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible if your phone get bricked, bootlooped, unable to start etc. You take the risk to provide this modifications to your phone. Remember that you are messing with the system root partition, one small mistake might get you into serious trouble, sometimes unfix-a-ble. 99.99% success rate so proceed at your own risk. Remember to do a nandroid backup through CWM or backup the sound files if you do not want the sounds anymore, avoid losing your data if you made a mistake or find the water sounds too annoying :p.

:: REQUIREMENTS ::

a rooted Galaxy W

Solid Explorer, Root Explorer, ES File Manager or any that can have access to the system files

a computer to download the sound files

patience:angel:

:: LET"S GET STARTED ::

Download the files provided below and transfer them to the root of your SD card

Open up your file explorer(in this case Solid Explorer for me)

Click "Jump", "Device", "System root"

Scroll down untill you see the system folder

Select the folder and then locate the media folder inside and later select it

Select "audio" then "ui"

Backup the sound files in your system by COPYING "Lock.ogg","S_HW_Touch.ogg","TW_Touch.ogg","TW_Unlock_Glass.ogg" into your SD Card and then deleting them accordingly

Locate where you put the downloaded sounds and then copy and paste them into the same place which is system/media/audio/ui

Exit Solid Explorer and do a REBOOT(recommended)

Enjoy the sound of the SGS3 :D

:: DOWNLOADS ::

Lock.ogg: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?aue7ouj4wsjiixh

S_HW_Touch.ogg: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?bj9me3e8ygzqdhi

TW_Touch.ogg: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?3fji29354cd4n2z

Update:

Special thanks to @yihao96 for finding a workaround for the sounds to be possible in cm9:

For cm9 user,

Download Lock.ogg and put in /system/media/audio/ui to replace the lock screen sound.

For unlock screen sound, rename Lock.ogg to Unlock.ogg and replace it in the same folder.

Download S_HW_Touch.ogg and rename it to Effect_Tick.ogg then replace the Effect_Tick.ogg in the same folder.

What do you mean by waiting?;)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] AsmirGT:
Hello,

thanks you very much but

1.TW_Unlock_G"r"ass.ogg must be rename to TW_Unlock_G"l"ass

2.DL for TW_Touch.ogg ist the same file as S_HW_Touch.ogg (fix it)

3. The first both files are the same as the both TW files.Maybe is that right :o

Thanks.

Best regards

AsmirGT

Edit:

What are the both files

Lock.ogg and TW_Unlock_Glass.ogg for.

After replace all 4 files there is the difference only when i touch the screen ....

I use Stock Lock screen no Go locker or something else is it just cause that?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] darthbii:
well firstly i thank you for telling me about renaming the 'r' to 'l' my mistake for it.will also fix the links. the lock .ogg file is for the lock sound when you lock the phone and the tw glass .ogg is for the water like effect sound. if you dont want it, just put back the original sound clip that you backup into the location again. is it working for you?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] AsmirGT:
yes partially

nice sound but i have this water like sound only when touching screen.

when i lock screen there is no sound i mean before was the same

i use stock locker from rebel rom with ibanez7 theme 3.9

thank you for sharinng dude :fingers-crossed:

i don't wand to back up the original one ;)

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] needya:
Thanks! Works awfully well to me. I used Widgetlocker and I heard a strange voice for the lock & unlocking voice, but it's too small to hear. So I disabled it for a while and tested using stock lockscreen and it works perfectly fine.

I really love the water unlocking and lock sounds but I don't think I'm a big fan of the new hard keys sound. Just my opinion. XD
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] darthbii:
Sorry for leaving this thread barely untouched. I dont really understand your problem there mate. Do you want the backup sounds or what? :o
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] darthbii:
Yeah dude they get kinda annoying. In less than a minute I changed them back to the stock ones. Just putting the files here in case anyone wants the full S3 feel. Anyone is free to choose what sounds you want.

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] darthbii:
sorry my friend. but ics has a different sound layout as in gb touchwiz. i'm not that familiar with the system layout for cm9 so i guess none of those sounds work for it. however, there is one which is the Lock.ogg sound which MAY be able to changed as cm9 has that sound, so i will say if u are taking a risk against it, always make sure u have a backup either the sounds or a nandroid. hope this helps and i wish someone would prove me wrong on this.

here's what u gonna do:

1. download that Lock.ogg file and transfer it to your phone.

2. have a backup of the stock "Lock.ogg" in cm9 or have a nandroid backup ready just in case.

3. replace the downloaded "Lock.ogg" in the system/media/ui place and reboot.

hoping it would work to prove me wrong.remeber to do a backup(i may sound a lil pesky here because of me keep on urging you to do a backup but believe me its for the best for you, though ur phone wont get bricked for changing sound files.:D

Hello,I was using DreamW-CM7.2 Based V7.1 SummerEdion 21/06/2012 ROM on my Samsung Galaxy Mini,and I really liked the audio enhancement in it,but the ROM was laggy so I returned to stock ROM (no disrespect for the developers), so I want to ask can someone post the apps which were used in that ROM to enhance the audio quality or some additional tweaks/hints to do that I would really appreciate that :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prodepressiva:
Am I blind, did I overlook it or is it really just not there?

I am searching for a shortcut or widget to adjust the brightness like in the power widget on the SGS or the little nice trick where you could pull down the notification bar a little and slide to right or left to adjust brightness.

Where is it?

I'm on LE8.

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sxi200:
Doesn't exist so had to download 'brightness level' by Curvefish from Play. It has a widget which I actually prefer over how it worked on S1 & 2.

Still I can't believe SS haven't included a stock one.

Hi there, I tested this on AOKP B39.

After flashing, the Beats Icon was present in the App drawer, but it had wiped out the music effects Setting completely in Settings-Sound.

The Application itself just made the system freeze, and I had to do a battery pull.

I will produce a logcat a little later when I'm home.

Cheers.
[HTC Sensation] ...Awesome...:
Thanks if your gonna reflash just wipe cache and then reflash and then test it that way on the other website (cough) it was tested on aokp 36,37,38,39,40 and it worked good.
[HTC Sensation] buzzboy:
Great stuff.

Your advice worked a treat.

Wiped both caches, and reflashed.

Cheers again.

Did Awesome Beats App install? You might have to manually install it.
[HTC Sensation] hlenforcer:
Nope it is missing, did not looked up the install .zip if everything installed, hehe. Will install it manually now, thx very much for the amazingly fast reply. :cyclops:

edit: ah the awesome beats app is just shown as DSPmanager in my app list, so also the setting in the sound settings is named DSPmanager and not awesome beats, have to test if it works in practice.

Installs just fine on HP Touchpad but doesn't have the extra option for beats (unless I don't know where to find it)

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tutzu_Xplay:
I have a problem with my Xperia Play. When I connect to MSC mode and try to copy something from the card to the PC or vice-versa, after a while the phone disconnects itself(But it keeps charging) and I have to reconnect it. The main problem is that it disconnects right in the middle of the copying process.

Also I want to flash a custom ROM and I'm afraid that it could disconnect while flashing. Any advices to fix this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Disretrospect:
Hi guys, just recently came over from juggs. Currently running ds v7, im having app hangs and was wondering the honest opinion of aokp vs ds for those who have tried both. I will keep ds for now and see if problems persist. If so ill test aokp. Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Chochiwpg:
Completely depends on the person TBH. I am currently running ICS Telus Darkside ROM as my daily driver and it's a fantastic ROM, no issues that I can complain about.

AOKP is also an amazing ROM. It's vanilla android so you don't get any bloat that you would typically get from the carrier. You also don't get manufacturer specific apps like Samsung Kies and Social Hub. What you do get is a very lean, very fast ROM with oodles and oodles of customizations.

Doesn't hurt to try and see what you like best. Just remember to make a nandroid. Peace and happy flashing. :laugh:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jonjon68:
Neither. If you want a stable Android ROM MOD go CM. There are really only two legitimate "developers" of ROM mods out there. The Cyanogenmod team and MIUI. I haven't seen a legitimate MIUI port for this device (other than a massaged ATT device trainwreck) yet but CM9 is stable and typical of CM, which is polished and refined. Not just a bunch of script kiddie edits. My opinion and you will get contrary opinions which is fine. Mine is based off 4 years of android device use and just as long modified ROM adoption. Will the others work on occasion? Yes, just not consistently and without a lot of actul improvements. Rather usually clumsy attempts as improvements that are just as likely to turn your phone in to a mess. Of the 5 android phones I've had this one has been no different with the MODs out there for me. My 2 cents.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dagod80:
In a way he's right. Aokp has issues for me as far as how out chooses to mount the Sd cards,.but so does cm9. Dark side would be the best of not for the app hang issue that remains present. The ics megamix rom has given me the best performance thus far as stability is concerned.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] suaverc118:
Wow, what an insult to the AOKP guys. To be honest both AOKP and cm9 had some of the same issues recently. So for you to talk down AOKP because that is how you come off, is putting down cm9 as well. Be careful as these teams put in a lot of free hardworking time for us.

To answer the op question.. I like both but I like AOKP better. They fixed the audio problem that drove us crazy thanks to some great team work from another group. Only issue I have ran into with whitehawkx recent build is panoramic is having audio issues. Other than that this is an amazing well put together very customizable rom. The lockscreen is pretty awesome as well. Here are a few pics.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] droidz79:
Since aokp is based off of cm9 they are a lot alike but aokp has more customizable features to it. There are bugs in both cm9 and aokp but it's to be expected with nightlies until it hits the stable. I have tried DS and prefer to stick with aokp. IMO
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RaverX3X:
your 2c Don't mean a damn thing...

Lol the aokp team is pretty pro mate...

sorry unlike u some of us devs have more then just 7z skills or the people u downloaded roms from were just branded stock fail...

N people wonder why most the sgs2 devs left....

and JohnJon if you knew anything you would know miui is just a straight kang of cm with no credit given... The miui team still cant build there own rom from source without borrowing from cm wonder why that is...........

@ the person who asked which is better honestly go Aokp... Alot more customizatons then cm9.. Its fast its stably and you cant go worng with the pink unicorn...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RaverX3X:
to be honest if u ever have a issue with any rom make sure you start from clean slate wipe every thing wipe it again hell after that wipe it a third time to be safe then install.. Let rom sit for 20 mins before u do anything then add your apps back.. Dont use any restores as alot of times it causes more issues then a simple re download would have done better with.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gariputo:
I have tried various builds of AOKP and CM9 and I keep going back to Darkside. TDJ is super helpful; if there are issues he responds light speed and gets them fixed.

AOKP and CM9 are nicer looking, I will give it that. I did, however, find that they are both buggier than darkside ROMS, as an example on both AOKP and CM9 I found that many programs did not recognize my external SD and the usual fixes did not work for me, or they did work and soon the apps would not recognize the external SD again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xUnreachablex:
Troll attempt?? You have to know how defensive folks get about the dd they choose to run.

Anyway, take features into consideration when choosing. I can't live without MMS over wifi so tmobile builds are the only way to go, for me. I do flash other ROMS pretty regularly but for me pushing the tech and seeing what the devs are capable of is where the real fun is...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] zoth:
Darkside ROMS are great and some stock tweaked 4.3, my main issue is that when I change my DPI some graphics gets messed up AOKP & CM9 scales out fine & I know it's not the Devs fault is the way stock is. Most annoying is the dialer when you change your DPI. Just mu 2 cents.
