[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diavolos:
hello guys, yesterday i bought my sgs3 after i sold my iphone 4 (at last)

and after some search in my first touch with android, i came up to this problem...

my phone had on it 4.0.4 ICS, so i rooted it in first place, then installed addfree, addaway and a couple of games, after that i wanted a better sms program, so i tested handset and go sms pto, go sms pro proved to be better for my taste...and this is the part where the problem comes in...

i did all its settings correctly, about notifications etc, and no matter what i do, when i have 1 or more sms unreaded in my inbox, go sms pro icon dont show a thing on it, only go sms pro widget shows "1" unreded on its icon, and stock sms app, but not the go sms app icon that i have on dock...

does anyone know whats that problem? did i do anything thats causing it? is it a bug that with an update will be fixed on the 4.0.4 ICS?

i also tried go launcher ex with go launcher ex notifications, neither that did work (and i didnt like its outfit too)

please HELP!!!!!!!!!

Did you chose go sms pro as default sms application?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diavolos:
im not sure about that, where do i make it default sms app?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meemo23:
click go sms and it will ask you would you like to make go sms your default messaging app tick the box and tap go sms.. Then go to settings and find turn off built in sms so that only go sms will pick up your messages and not your stock messaging app..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diavolos:
ok i downloaded Default App Manager and made default Go SMS Pro for messaging but still, i get notification and counter on go sms widget but not on the apps icon

Not sure if this will work but remove the go sms app from the dock and drag the widget there instead. I had the same problem too and am going to see if this works.

sorry about other thread..... titled it wrong. anyway, i tried to partition my kf but it failed.... how to you issue fastboot oem format command?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dasanko:
Type "fastboot getvar product" in a command prompt wherever your fastboot is, plug in the KF and once it's connected, type "fastboot oem format"...

EDIT: If you're coming from CWMR, you may want to make sure you don't have a troublesome emmc chip and there hasn't been permanent damage to it...

EDIT 2: Why are you posting this question over and over around?

[General Questions and Answers] badler6545:
Hey guys! This is actually my first post on XDA, and frankly one of my first visits as well, so I apologize if I asked something that's already been answered more than once.

Anyway, I just received my HTC One X and tried rooting through the guide already posted here. After running the batch file, the cmd runs and for each check, it says that it was denied. The phone will proceed to reboot once or twice and then return to it's original state.

I do have HTC Sync and I also made sure that the drivers for HTC showed up in Device Manager. USB Debugging is enabled as well, and the phone was set to 'Charge Only'.

Not quite sure where to go from here, but I'd appreciate any help you guys could give!

Thanks!

I've done a search but haven't found a thread like this.

Basically if you have experience with a budget phone or have seen a phone at a good deal please post in here.

I'm after my first smartphone and would like some feedback on any budget phones out there.

I can find these phones for 'cheap' ... should I say affordable compared to other phones.

- SE Xperia arc S: This is my first choice, big screen, good screen, excellent camera and very nice design.

I'm not sure though if i'll be let down on the single core :( and those chromed buttons look a little ugly at the bottom but the price is just right!

-Htc desire C: not really my taste

-Nokia 710 / 610: Looks good and if it was to be getting WP8 with IE10 etc. I would def go for this.

-Sony xperia U: Looks too small in real life. In fact it is too small for a 3.5"

What do you guys recommend?

Can you share your experience please?

I'm also in two minds about buying now or hanging on for a few more months. Perhaps I could save more and go with a contract and get a high end phone ... Or maybe wait it out and see if any other phones fall in price like the arc S. The xperia P does look nice and Obviously if something like the GS2 falls in price (which it won't) i'd get that.

Is it worth getting a budget phone or do they just cause headaches?
[General Questions and Answers] mojo22:
i'd appreciate if someone can take the time to reply so I don't make a mistake on purchasing a phone that won't be of any use.

I've come to the conclusion that i'm going to wait until wednesday for google to announce their jelly bean version to see what the changes are. If they are minor and can be rooted to a current phone then I might purchase now.

If they aren't though and they include something like ubuntu within the OS then i'll look for better hardware.

Thanks in advance

Want to get the s3 but want to make sure it works with TMobile.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nodstuff:
No, you will only get edge speeds, no 3g.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaft77:
It works for me. Bought my unbranded, non-simlocked phone in Europe. Visiting US now. Daily plan with T-Mobile works fine for me.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nodstuff:
And you are getting 3g speeds??

I doubt that, the international version doesn't have the frequency for tmo's 3g.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lgkahn:
i also tried my att i747 sgs iii after i unlocked it with a t mobile sim.. works but also only get edge.. maybe it would work if i flashed the t mobile modem?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Sorry I pressed thanks instead of quote.

No, its nothing to do with the modem. If it was, people all over the world would be buying devices from other countries.

The fact is the international GSM version only works on the frequencies its designed to work on. This is a hardware limitation and no amount of software will resolve that.

International frequencies are different to USA frequencies and as such, devices not designed for the USA will not work to their full potential in the USA.

UK (international) uses 900 Mhz/1800Mhz GSM/3G where as USA T-mob uses 1900Mhz GSM and 2100Mhz 3G.

Because the International GSM quad band device is:

850/900/1800/1900 MHz...

The GSM and 2G function works on 1900 (T-mob) but has no way to use 2100 for 3G as its not physically possible

Edit:

USA Carrier	Voice Frequencies (MHz)	3G	4G	Notes

AT&T	850 (Band 5)/ 1900(Band 2)	850 / 1900	Band 17 (700MHz)/AWS (1700/2100 MHz)	GSM

MetroPCS	1900 / AWS	1900 / AWS	AWS	CDMA

Sprint	1900	1900	2500 / 1900 G-Block	CDMA

T-Mobile USA	1900	AWS(1700/2100 MHz)/PCS (1900)	AWS (1700/2100 MHz)	GSM

Verizon	800 / 1900	800 / 1900	700 / AWS	CDMA (GSM for 4G)

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lgkahn:
yes i agree for international version.. but if you read closer i DONT have the international version but the att version.. and as far as i know all the usa versions are the same with just diff. modems.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshnichols189:
The international version will work in areas where T-Mobile is refarming 1900mhz to 3G. However this is only happening in parts of the coasts. I'm using it in Ohio and getting EDGE only. That said, it isn't too bad.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netarchy:
Erm, it's being tested in some coastal areas, but the 3g/hspa+ over the 1900 band is slated to go live on the majority of the network by the end of the year.

No service HELP or clairfication PLEASE

I purchased a Tinji i9300. I have been working on this for over 3 weeks. I have no service with T-mobile. It recognizes my SIM card as T-mobile. In Engineer Mode, my bands are, EGSM900, DCS1800, PCS1900, GSM850, WCDMA-IMT-2000. I have tried numerous ROMs (stock and custom) and have rooted the phone. I have changed the IMEI. No service at all. Any thoughts? Band issue? T-mobile issue? Possible solution? **** out of luck? :crying:

Thank you!

I mean.. comon it looks terrible especially when I came from the HTC hero G2 which had amazing UI designs and creative customizations (transparent, minimalistic, colors matching beautifully, sometimes complex with lots of beauty)

i cant wait till AOSP comes out and more themes gets developed. I have seen some awesome ones here, few but still special.

But who here likes touchwiz? or dont care about the looks and feel of it?

Been using GoEx for years...love it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rymanh:
I think it looks and feels ok. But the one thing that stops me from using it is the way folders look and work.. So I just use other launchers and I can still benefit from the good things that touch wiz has

I like my Roms the way I like my women..... Clean and smooth

Go ex is the best...you can do almost any look you want with it and loads super fast...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ITALIANNYC:
Coming from Sense, I love touch wiz. Besides, you own wallpapers and stuff make it all look the same in the end to me. Sense felt like it had so many unneeded elements to it

I use and like it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] a93hunt:
the TW on the s2 is dull, the s3 TW is much better. Given that some prefer not to flash things, my fav launchers are Apex and Nemus.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] shankar10:
I like it. But SG3's Touchwiz is much better

I have the GNote and the Galaxy S2, use touchwiz on both.....I do switch between Nova and touchwiz. I have loved touchwiz since the Samsung vibrant. Don't know I love it and prefer it, I just do.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] flipq88:
I hate how people whine about tw launcher. Tw is much more than a launcher. In fact i dont like ANY stock launcher. I always end up putting go launcher or something else over it. But tw is awesome. Slide to call/text, swipe finger on notification bar for brightness, the freaking music player is the best i have ever used. Seriously id prefer tw over any ui, even aosp

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sinfulgray:
I can agree with this on the TW features...they are pretty nice but I do prefer the look of aosp.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 19fonzy:
I Like It. The Icons Are Simply The Best. Gives The phone a nice look.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Only Loki:
I love touchwiz, but I hate the launcher. Mainly because it doesn't rotate.

But All the features in the framework are amazing. The phone book is great. The media players to me work the best of all the company specific, and unlike most framework it allows file sharing without 3rd party apps. Like if I want to send my friend a song.

I think Sense is too heavy, Blur doesn't really add anything but an ugly color scheme (but decent widgets), LG devices actually has a nice framework. But I prefer TW.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jdm_dsm:
I was going to say the exact same thing. The UX launcher from the S3 handles folders a lot better. I actually found myself with way more folders than normal because they worked so much better.

I'll admit I have yet to try any aftermarket launchers, but the I really like the S3 launcher.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] diqsa:
i dont mind the look of touchwiz on the s3. it looks smooth and fast, and im so glad that they finally let you customize the dock. but the only thing that really bothers me is ridiculously ugly folders. forces me to have to download apex or go laucher themes. on apex i can put two apps in a folder and it looks so simple and nice. in touchwiz it makes it look like a folder on your windows laptop and doesn't adjust the icons to how many apps are in the folder.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TripArtist:
I just started using Apex and am adjusting from GoLauncher EX. That was adjusted from TouchWhiz. Each to their own when it comes to preference. There are some nice features I like about all of them... but so far, GoLauncher appears to be the most versatile when it comes to a customized a launcher as a whole.

My two cents. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AnuragB56:
I honestly don't mind the TouchWiz experience. I had the HTC Wildlife before this and I agree with one of the posts here saying that Sense had a lot of unnecessary elements in it. Unnecessary for me that is. Others may think otherwise. Therefore, I used Go Launcher on that.

TouchWiz is clean and quick. That's all I'm looking for really. But yeah, it does crash once in a while like all other launchers.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] whytechapel_x:
i like it its pretty good but prefer something like nova launcher.

Waiting for My T989 To Repair :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Pandemic187:
Actually...I kind of like the launcher! But I usually stay away from TW because I don't like having all the TW-themed apps. If I could have the TW launcher without the apps, I might actually use it. Until then, it's Apex all the way for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Chochiwpg:
I've used multiple different browsers from Go Launcher to Zeam to ADW to Espier (just for sh$ts and giggles) to Apex, Nova etc etc.

But TBH I get the best battery life and smoothness with TW for some reason. I can't explain why, but that's just from my experience. I am not a huge fan of how the folders look, but the functionality is perfect. I also love the look of the contacts, the ability to swipe to the right to make a call and swipe to the left to send a message. The quick way of adjusting the brightness by sliding your finger across the top of the screen. Being able to tap on the dot to auto scroll to the screen you want or drag your finger along the bar to scroll to screens fast. I really do enjoy TW.

Apex is also an amazing launcher, you get the AOSP feel and love the gestures and how the folders look. But even after using Apex and going back to TW, TW seems a little smoother and has better battery. If someone could explain why that is I would be very interested to know. Peace.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ianhouser:
I just slap Apex on it and everything gross disappears. I appreciate Wifi calling, though with GrooVe IP I can remedy that loss now that I'm on AOKP. I also appreciate MHL support. But you are definitely correct. Touchwiz is pretty uninspiring and definitely seems to encourage rooting. At least in my mind. Lol.
