I disagree about that.

The real difference with different I/O schedulers is quite small.

All Recovery's are the same, doesn't matter which one you install. Functionality is the same.

If I am not mistaken, it is a bug with ICS. Someone correct me if I am wrong, I do not have my phone to test it.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] neocyke:
Yep, key lag is an ICS thing. Even on some custom ROMs you still get keypress lag.

If you're going custom all the way (unlocked bootloader, custom kernel & ROM etc), for ICS you can check out expeacer's ExtendedStockKernel V2. It's got CWM 5.5 so there's no more of the 8 empty lines before option shmuck. Makes it a lot easier to use. Mesa kernel is also a good option and according to most, extends battery life by quite a bit..

Hope that helps :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] GxGaNi:
App for Auto Start, app for managing apps from self-kicking. And these apps pile up if you keep looking.

And by cache, I guess you're talking about Dalvik-Cache? I saw an option in "Developer Options", Don't keep activities. I wish it had "White-List" and black list, you seriously wouldn't need those countless apps.

btw, I do not any task killer, since most of them have the same algorithm and do the same ****(no offense), but I use SwitchPro Widget, since sony doesn't come up with default switches like Samsung does. It's native app killing switch is pretty flawless.

Does anyone also notice the slow loading widgets (Widget cannot load error) at the startup. I Use go launcher native theme.

@Someguy

Thanks again.

Its noticeable on stock kernel. Noop gave faster picture loading in gallery, music loading in music app and media scanning upon unplugging usb and after reboot than default deadline.

But on custom kernel those added io scheduler probably patched already to suites flash memory better, thus faster on readahead, well atleast on my kernel i've patched them.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yonis9999:
So i've tryed to switch ROM to my Motorola Defy+,in the first stage when you do BOOTLOADER and then choose the version i downloaded, i accidently entered normal motorola defy version (JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2) and not the defy+ version (DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1). since then my device wont trurn on i cant enter BOOTLOADER or RECOVERY mode, but when i plug it in the computer, the little white light at the top of the phone, turning on. i tryed to do the same without entering the BOOTLOADER (because i cant enter) and i picked the basic version of motorola defy+(DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1) ,it finished succesfuly but still my device wont turn on or respond. What can i do to fix this problem? im without a phone at the moment...
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @non4:
If RSDlite still recognised your phone its not completely bricked. Make sure you flash an android version equal to the last SBF you flashed, IE DO NOT flash 2.1 if you already flashed 2.2. Other than this you may have to wait for the experts to reply as I haven't the experience and I own the original, green lensed defy

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jwolfdk:
Hi,

I added the Exchange Server of my company to my SGS3, and calendar and contacts sync perfectly. If I search for a person in the contact list, it even shows exchange contacts as well, and I can call them directly without having them in my personal contact list.

Here is the problem:

If one of my coleeges calls me, I only see the phone number, not his name. All the info such as name, phone number, email ect. are available on the server. I'm only able to see the name of the dialer if I search for the person on the exchange server and chose to Add Contact to the phone. But I don't want to do that one by one, to have all 500+ ppl from my company saved in my contacts list.

Any suggestions?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jwolfdk:
No one uses Exchange Server?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Indian_dil:
Bro,

All along when a call comes the phone searches for the entry in the phonebook only and not on the exchange contact list. the same is true for iphone and any other phone.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jwolfdk:
I was just thinking, that my exchange contacts are already synced onto my phone, so the info is available on the phone. It doesnt have to make a server lookup or anything.

It shows the names of Facebook contacts, who are synced to the phone in the same way, so why not Exchange contacts?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] diallito:
Hi

i have use mx player for a while on my tablet.

but since they removed the DTS audio codec i have switched to vplayer

but my issue on my prime is that when i play for instance an episode of game of thrones or breaking bad on 720p .mkv version it starts ok...

but after a minute... the audio decoder doens't work anymore and it seems like you can hear only the background noise...

i used to have the same problem with mx player, but there i had found an easy option make the audio normal again. I use to switch form hardware <--> software decoding. And then it would be ok.

the odd thing is that this doens't happen with HD movies...

But for the vplayer i haven't found a sollution. Is there anyone who had te same issue?

thanks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] beady_uk:
I had issues with MX player when trying to play 1080p .mkv files and the best solution i found was to download and use BSPlayer and go into settings and set it to use Hardware decoding (BSEngine).

Never had any issues and 1080p .mkv files play perfectly - even on power save mode
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MXR2:
Dude, go for DICE player. For me, on my prime it works flawlessly.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fordwolden:
Seconded, definately! DicePlayer playes anything and everything.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Parastie:
Third! It's what I use!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ratman6161:
Tried different formats?

I've only had my TP for a short time and have only tried a couple of movies on it. Not knowing which format was best I chose to rip to MP4 format and it hasn't given me any trouble so far. Is there some advantage to .mkv?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] johnnyutah22:
mkv is more of a losless wrapper, better quality, no compression, much larger file than mp4
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] situman:
The thing with Diceplayer or most players doesn't render embedded subtitles. MX Player renders it fine though. So even thought I get artifacts on MX Player when playing 10bit MKV or 1080p MKV animes, I stick with it. Yes I messed with the settings on those other players.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Parastie:
Well I'm getting issues with Dice not wanting to open files with DTS audio. If I open the video through file manager and choose Dice, it'll play the video no problem but no audio. If I try to open inside Dice, it crashes. Vplayer works with audio, but drops frames even if I choose 'hardware acceleration' I'll try mx and see if that works.

EDIT:

Nope, MX won't play the audio either. It at least shows me that their is an audio track, and that the audio is DTS track, but it won't play it. Any suggestions besides transcoding the audio?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mburke178:
i believe it was when MX player got updated to 1.6 that they removed the DTS codec. If you never had problems before they removed the codec and prefer mx player just google MX player apk X.XX and find the version with the codec in it. I would tell you the website to go to, but it's a no no on XDA.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Parastie:
Hey thanks!! Downloaded 1.5a and bam! DTS playback is perfect! Thanks again! :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Parastie:
FYI

Dice version 2.0.5 also has DTS intact. You can find it somewhere on google, and plays HD files better in my opinion.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jlomein:
The latest version of MX Player that still supports DTS audio is 1.6f, and for Dice Player it's 2.0.6.

I've heard these versions are incompatible with Jelly Bean, so it looks like we'll have to find a new solution once the update comes out. (likely switching to BS Player)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Loccy:
I've always been an advocate of Dice, and with the majority of my stuff in Xvid or more recently, mp4, all stashed on a server that was smb shared, it worked a treat.

However, I've never been able to get HD mkvs above 720p to play well, and even those had the occasional laggy or jerky moment. I always put that down to network speed, though.

However, I've just tried the latest BS Player and all I can say is wow. It has just played all of my 1080p stuff over the LAN without breaking a sweat.

I am jumping ship. Very recommended.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] lgkahn:

[Galaxy S III Accessories] TheMightiest1981:
Although my post offers you no solace as to which charging dock will charge GSIII batteries to full capacity, I"m pleased to finally learn that I"m not alone. I've ordered a charging dock from ebay that will be arriving no later than Thursday. Its 34.99 and comes with an original battery much like the OEM charging dock. I'll check it out and give you some feedback on it's performance.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] lexluthor:
I'm also looking for a cheap external battery wall charger.

Something like this.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-Battery...-S-3-SIII-i9300-US-AU-EU-UK-Pin-/251082870040

Will that work or am I at decent risk that it'll stop charging at 88% like the OP?

Any other suggestions? Is the battery the same size as the battery used for the S2 or any other phones so that I can use a wall charger made for a different phone (since this phone is new, maybe accessories haven't fully ramped up yet).

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] joeyzadoe:
I had sixaxis app running and apparently when its running in the backround the screen wont turn off. I plugged my phone into the charger last night and when the phone was done charging the notification for done charging popped up and turned the screen on. because I had sixaxis open it didnt let the screen turn off and my screen was on all night. My question is have I damaged my screen by doing this? I fear of the infamous burn in now.

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Voltage Spike:
There is quite a bit of proof out there confirming that AMOLED will suffer burn-in. The most common cause seems to be a docking station where the user displayed an alarm clock all night or played music with the screen on for an 8+ hours a day.

So screen burn-in is a problem, but one night isn't going to significantly harm the phone,and typical users won't see any issue during the lifetime of the display.

[Samsung Captivate Glide] FireFury:
I've got my shiny new AT&T Captivate Glide (imported to the UK), which I want to root. Having looked at the instructions for rooting with Odin3, I dug out an ancient Windows XP SP2 CD and installed it in a VirtualBox VM, having not actually used Windows since about 2001. Unfortunately that's where I got in trouble - all the rooting guides say to install the Samsung drivers, which I do but Windows still says there's no driver for the phone. Grepping all the .inf files that the USB driver installed shows that none of them actually contain the phone's USB product ID (685e), so I'm a bit confused how this is supposed to work.

So having failed at getting anything to work under Windows, I thought about trying Heimdall under Linux. Some Googling reveals a few posts saying that it won't work at all with the Captivate Glide (or any Tegra 2 based devices), but since "heimdall detect" recognises the device when it is booted into download mode, I'm wondering if this is no longer true - can anyone confirm whether or not Heimdall now works with the Captivate Glide?

Secondly, all the rooting instructions I've come across tell me to download the firmware (AT&T / Rogers) that is appropriate for the device, but I've noticed that a few people on the forums say they are using the Rogers firmware with AT&T devices. Am I correct in assuming that I can actually flash it with either firmware without any issues?

And my final question :) Most of the specs for the phone I have found on the internet says it supports NFC, whilst most of the discussions I've seen says it doesn't. Sure enough, the AT&T software doesn't appear to support NFC, but can anyone confirm whether or not the hardware does?

Any pointers would be appreciated before I go ahead and flash the phone. Thanks.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] ajt1995:
I've put both rogers and AT&T roms on my AT&T phone...

Also, I believe that you are supposed to download Kies to windows, as it does the drivers for you. Just make sure before you try odin, that you kill all kies processes in the task manager (in windows).
[Samsung Captivate Glide] FireFury:
Well, I tried Kies and it refused to install with an unreadable error message (the only readable bit was "SP3" which makes me think it needs Service Pack 3... which is a pain since Windows Genuine Disadvantage is telling me my genuine Windows CD isn't genuine and therefore won't let me install SP3. My first Windows experience in over 10 years isn't exactly going well).
[Samsung Captivate Glide] ajt1995:
Windows xp was always a pain... I would suggest you download the windows 8 release preview.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] elban:
any news on heimdall working with the glide? anyone tried the new RC, out yesterday?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] roothorick:
STOP.

Odin does NOT like VirtualBox; you could brick your phone and you WILL corrupt your VM.

Unfortunately Heimdall doesn't work with the Glide. It sees the phone but when it tries to do any write operation it errors out. (I think the protocol is different somehow.) You'll have to find a native(!!) XP/Vista/7 system (I used my Win7 x64 gaming machine, it worked flawlessly) to get the party started. Failing that, a BartPE bootdisk *should* work but nobody's ever tried it. Once you have the ICS bootloader installed and have CWM, you won't need Odin again.

The phone doesn't have NFC -- someone (Dr.Mario I think) actually tore a Glide apart and looked at the board; there's no such chip.

---------- Post added at 09:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:40 AM ----------

I don't know about 8, but the Win7 piracy interlocks are even worse. And frankly, this is bad advice.. nobody's tested Odin on Win8. If you don't have the expertise to recover from a bad flash, you could be digging your phone a shallow grave.
