[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] lensgrabber:
It really ticks me off that Samsung partitioned it into 12gb/12gb. Now I would have to have three locations to store data. I see why people are saying 16+64 is enough for storage. I don't have to want to deal with 12+12+64 partitions. i don't think there is a way to repartition the internal storage into one chunk at the moment.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Isambard Prince:
I'm not sure now if the 32gb makes practical sense for me with the partitioning.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] lensgrabber:
T-mobile web site is now showing "buy now" for the 32gb models if people are still tracking this.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Reviewers:
They told me on the 27th.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] nick2k:
i'm currently logged into my TMO account and i'm shopping for new phones for shizzle and giggles: the 32GB phones DO NOT appear for me. the 16GB blue phones do show availability & immediate shipping, but the white version DOES NOT.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] lensgrabber:
http://galaxy-s.t-mobile.com/samsung-galaxy-s3

Use a different browser and go there. 32gb white and blue show as buy now. Maybe whatever section you are in isn't updated? Dunno.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] nick2k:
yeah. i was using the actual order page for upgrading or buying a new phone for a current TMOUS account. but i see on the page you linked shows the white 16GB available for purchase. but the 32GB phones are also showing "sold out" just like i saw on the upgrade page.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] lensgrabber:
very weird. Chrome lets me add it to my cart but safari shows sold out. I need off contract so I'll have to wait a bit longer it would appear.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] tamasrepus:
Called Customer Care today…

Apparently, the 32 GB model will be available online via the Web only—not in stores or via Customer Care. At the moment, it shows out of stock.

And bad news for me and possibly others: because it's online only, those out of contract or on a Value plan will have to pay full price, up-front—no Equipment Installment Plan).

My charging port is fried after attempting to make an at home Y cable to charge and have USB OTG. I see the ports on ebay for just a few dollars, and would love to switch it out, but I dont want to break anything.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-T95...083?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e6ea68a8b

So, how the hell does that thing connect to the motherboard? Is soldering involved at all?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tazfanatic:
i strongly suspect some soldering is involved. there is a video thread here about about taken the epic apart i know it says for screen but it should get you in the right direction.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muyoso:
Yea, that was my fear. I took the epic apart about half an hour ago and was staring at it trying to see how it might be removed, but didn't want to completely ruin it by guessing. Been searching far and wide to see if anyone has done it on their phone with little success.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] svfreddy:
sounds like the seller would do it for you for an additional $30 dollars? Just gotta ask yourself, Is it worth it or are you willing to take that chance?

Maybe you can just ask the seller for directions on how to replace it, I'm sure he'd be helpful.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] buzzboy:
Greetings,

Just to let you know that your latest build (V3) has a bug, that will not allow most people to connect to hidden WIFi networks. (SSID), and gives a Settings F/C.

The issue was present in AOKP B39 on many devices.

The fix was found, merged and is now incorporated in B40. Here's the commit:

http://gerrit.sudoservers.com/#/c/1342/

It may be best to wait for more feedback just in case it is an isolated bug. But it looks likely, as I've encountered it on my HTC Sensation also.

Cheers.

Nice Rom, but I'm having issues with the Play Store. There's a lot of apps that "are not compatible" with my device when I can use them on another ROM's, for instance swiftkey 3. Anyone else having this problem?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Kaffee4Eck:
Name hear some apps which wont work
[Galaxy S II Android Development] nachzeher:
I reply to myself. It was something related to the LCD density which I changed via xxTweaker app. Under config->RC->General UI you can change that density too, but there you have to follow some steps including clearing the market data, I had to do that process several times in order to fix the incompatibility issue.

Now everything is working right, but I think this should be a point in the FAQ area about changing the density in the xxTweaker app and better do the suggested steps under the RC menu. :laugh:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Kaffee4Eck:
I will write a FAQ
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Kaffee4Eck:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] russmichaels:
My text to speech seems to have gone screwy and started speaking in another language.

I have checked the settings and it is set to "English UK" and is set to use the google engine. If I play the sample, it plays in English.

However whenever a message comes in it sounds exactly like the "samsung TTS" engine which appears to only have 1 language installed which is not English.

So it would appear my phone is ignoring my engine setting and using the "samsung TTS" engine with whatever language it comes with.

anyone got any ideas.
[HTC One X] mohsinraza:
Hi all. I've finally got time to write you people the reason why LWP stop when we touch the screen on HTC ONE X.

People say it's faulty but actually it is made to work like this. Years ago when iphone worked faster and better than other devices it was a real concern that even with low specs sheet why iphone performs faster than any other device in the market. This was an unsolved issue until it was studied and showed and proved that > Whenever you perform a task on your iphone it stops all other background and on screen processes to give you the best performance. When the task is done the processes continue as they were working before.

To enhance the speed and working on HOX the same idea is adopted by HTC and so the LWP stops to give you the best mobile experience.

Looks annoying when LWP stops but it is how it's made to work.

Thanks!

Well thank you, Captain Obvious.
[HTC One X] KLUVJ:
PLUS ONE ON THIS ！ seems like the jokes on you op ...LOOOL
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
Maybe that is the reason, maybe not - but we hope HTC will 'fix it'.

I for one, refuse to use live wallpapers whilst it acts like this, which is a little disappointing as its an Android feature thats kinda been taken away from me.

I know I can change launchers to fix this, but I don't want that - I actually like sense and the look and feel of its launcher.

I dont think theres any need for the little nasty replies, the guy is trying to help and get involved.

Welcome to the community. :)
[HTC One X] scott.eden:
Its a bug - simple.

Mine dont just pause it freezes.

What a load of b@llocks!
[HTC One X] PhoenixFx:
Don't know if HTC intentionally did it or not (IMO this is a bug), but one thing for sure, thats NOT the intended behavior people expect.

So you are saying a quad core 1.5GHz processor cannot handle a LWP while scrolling between home screens ?? Even a single core 1GHz phone from 2 years back can scroll between home screens while animating the wall paper.

And do you think "freezing" the LWP while scrolling gives the best mobile experience ?? I dont think so. LWP smoothness is also a big part of the perceived overall user experience.
