hi guys, i have installed [ROM][XXALF6][22Jun]Online●●●►Omega v6.0 on my s3, i installed the remove bloat ware option, all installed fine. anyhow... So i use a site to download apks, well i did when i was running stock rom, the problem i am getting now is that the website loads up fine, i select the app i want, info loads up on a new screen showing the info about the app, then at the bottom you click the download button and normally it goes to another site where you wait a few seconds and then you can download it... but all i get now is the "web page not available" screen when i know the page is working fine because i can access it on my pc and works phone...any ideas what could be causing it? i have tried installing other browsers (chrome and mozilla) but no joy

If you buy it now, it won't have Jelly Bean - but it will get it in mid-July when Jelly Bean is released on this, the Nexus 7 and I think something else (I forget). So said those at Google I/O at least...

Thanks.
[Member-Found Deals] kirdroid:
Just ordered one ... I'm sure I will be back to sell this here after playing some time with JellyBean on it :)
[Member-Found Deals] tgerbracht:
Is there a reason why I can't find the nexus for sale on my play store? I have Verizon if it matters.
[Member-Found Deals] Envy Diz:
It does matter the one for sale is GSM unlocked and VZW is CDMA.
[Member-Found Deals] Toaster Strudels:
Anyone want to trade their GSM gnex for my one x?
[Member-Found Deals] tgerbracht:
Thanks for the reply. I do understand the difference between gsm vs cdma. I have the LTE nexus currently. My question had to do with not being able to see the nexus for sale on my market (along with accessories). I also can't find the nexus 7 on the play store. Any ideas other than clearing data?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] ficklecycler:
Hello all!

This could be the place for people to detail what outboard DAC's they're using with their GSIII. All of you audio centric people can use it as a source when shopping for a USB DAC.

Post some details about your phone, and what you worked with! Also, post what hasn't worked for you and maybe more knowledgeable members can help you out.

I looked for a thread on this and couldn't find anything so far. Hopefully this one will be helpful.

Here is a list so far of DAC's that are reported to work with the GSIII. Note that some of these also have amplifiers integrated in them.

-Emmeline "The Predator" (predator of wallets!)

-Fiio E7

-Headstage USB DAC cable

-HRT MusicStreamer II

-iBasso D12

-ODAC (Objective DAC by NwAvGuy and Yoyodyne Consulting)

-Topping D1 MKII

-Topping TP30

Here are some DAC's that people have reported DON'T work with the GSIII

-Fiio E17

-M-Audio Transit

Any others or corrections, please fill me in.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] ficklecycler:
Anybody tried using one yet?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] rosedog:
Are you talking about this?

http://www.slate.com/articles/arts/music_box/2010/12/dulcet_downloads.html

If so, nope. I don't think I'll ever have the need for one as I'm fine with what I use currently.

I'm not enough of an audiophile for it to matter.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] fullblast:
Fiio E7 has been. I believe DACs based on TI USB controllers are more compatible at this stage.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] ficklecycler:
That is the device that I'm talking about. However, there are many types of that device from pocketable versions to much larger components for your living room.

It might not appeal to you, but its becoming pretty popular these days for the hifi crowd.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] froot loop:
I accidentally started a new thread with the exact same topic, whoops.

Here's what I can add:

Works:

Headfonia USB DAC cable

HRT MusicStreamer II

Doesn't Work:

M-Audio Transit
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] ficklecycler:
If you don't mind, I'm going to add the ones that people have verified to the first post. Thanks for checking, I'm hoping this thread gets a little traction soon so that we can use it as a resource.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] ficklecycler:
Also I am guessing that you meant to write "Headstage USB DAC" it looks like it was just reviewed by Headfonia. No biggie.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] the_buzz_man:
Thanks for starting this thread....I would love to get better audio output from my GS3 into my car stereo system.

One quick question....Is there any way to have one of these USB DAC devices hooked up and be able to charge the GS3 at the same time?

I would love to be able to put my GS3 in a dock, hook one cable up to the microUSB, and have it be able to go to the USB DAC, charge the phone, and go into car mode. The car mode could possibly be achieved via NFC tags.

I appreciate any input on this.

the_buzz_man
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] ficklecycler:
No problem. I figured there must be some other curious people like me out there!

Maybe another person who has tried this can chime in, but it seems like you could do it. Possibly if you used a USB hub you could accomplish what you're trying to? Try and dig up a pin out of the GS3's usb port. It also may be possible for you to take an MHL or USB adapter and separate the pins used for charging from the pins used for audio out. Then you could potentially splice the wires to two separate plugs, one used for charging and the other for the USB data.

If that doesn't work, you could try and do the palm touchstone charging mod to your phone so that you keep charging and audio out totally separate. That's pretty involved just for a car dock but hey, I'm not one to know your DIY ability!

For me personally, car audio doesn't seem like the environment to benefit from a separate DAC. With road noise and all, would there be that much to gain quality wise? Haha, I'm probably just of that mind set because my car is pretty loud. Good luck with your project dude.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Gadgetz:
I have a Fiio E6 on the way, will let you guys know if it works ASAP
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] ficklecycler:
The Fiio E6 isn't a DAC, but rather a headphone amp.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Gadgetz:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] ficklecycler:
Haha, there there. No worries!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] ficklecycler:
I updated the OP with a few more DAC's that have been reported to work. Let me know if you've had any experiences with these or others.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] frifox:
Bought Fiio e7 on Amazon and its en route. Should be here tomorrow. S3's DAC is too noisy and e7 will definitely come on handy.

Btw, those who already have one, will e7 use phone's power if it runs out of own battery power? Leaving on a trip soon and need to know if I should buy one of those 12,000 mAh battery packs just in case.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] ficklecycler:
I don't know if you can use the S3's power to charge your E7 but I can tell you that the E7 has CRAZY long battery life. As long as you remember to turn it off. I'm really not sure you'll need it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] the_buzz_man:
My S3 gets really CRAZY CRAZY battery life as long as I remember to turn it off too

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] frifox:
Ok, got my e7 and my gawd this thing is amazing. It can go so loud that it would probably blow my ears and headphones before I even get to 50%. Also, on the other side of the spectrum, it can play so quiet that ambient noise is louder than my music, lol. My goal was clarity at extra quiet volume and yes, e7 delivered what I was hoping for 100%. Set e7's volume to 1/60, phone's volume to 1/15, lower PlayerPro's volume even lower and wow the sound is still crystal clear. Of course there is still some of that natural white noise you usually get from electronic devices, which is almost nonexistent compared to other DAC's I've tried, but that can be easily fixed for the peace of mind by setting volume to 30/60 and then using a pair of resistors to lower the overall volume back to 1/60.

Oh and also, looks like the e7 WILL charge from the phone if you want to. Plugged it into the phone, made sure the "usb chg" is on, and I do see the battery icon on the e7 scrolling indicating that it's charging. Not that I'd need that after fully charging e7 before using but still, it's nice to see such flexibility :D

TL;DR: Mind, blown. The best $71 I've ever spent.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] bigmike34:
I was under the impression that the E7 had issues with the GS3. Now I'm intrigued.

@ficklecycler

Thanks!

You could include in your list some USB DAC listed in the following post:

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=24614#c719

By the way, I don't find a post mentioning explicitly that the Headstage USB DAC cable interworks with the S3.

I'm wondering if "froot loop" has successfully tested it:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=28232907

"Here's what I've got or have read about:

Compatible:

Headphonia USB DAC cable (was very excited about this one!)"

And I'm wondering if the tested Headstage USB DAC cable is the latest one (i.e. with the Wolfson WM8740 chip):

http://www.inearmatters.net/2010/04/short-review-headstage-usb-dac-cable.html

"HeadStage USB DAC cable has been in the market for a while now, but recently it got a full hardware update from the previous simple Texas Instruments' PCM270x* solution to the better Wolfson WM8740 with PCM270x solution. If you have read my FiiO E7 impression, you will notice both E7 and HeadStage use the same WM8740. So what is special about the WM8740 chip? Well, it is one of Wolfson best DAC for portable usage, and simply a better sounding chip than a PCM270x chip."
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] neotoky:
How was the noise when playing quiet music in a quiet background like at night? Did this fix or improve the noise in anyway? I'm interested in getting the e7. Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] ficklecycler:
I hope that I didn't jump the gun by putting the Headstage DAC on the list. I read that same post you quoted and when I tried to look up the DAC "headphonia USB DAC" I could only find a review of the "headstage USB DAC" that was on the headphonia site. I figured that Frootloop had misnamed it and had actually meant what I wrote down. Am I wrong?

Edit: Almost forgot to say thanks for linking me to those other dac's! Thanks Danba!

Hello.

Last night I was riding my bike through São Paulo. Then I passed into a pothole. I was listening to the radio. After that, the radio turned off. I didn´t stop to solve the issue. When I arrived to my destination, I took my mobile and it was on a safe mode. Some of my apps wasn´t on the desktop at all. Yes, I rebooted and everything went well.

But my question is: what is, how can I acess and what the purpose of the safe mode?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michael_P:
I'm trying the old methods by holding menu and home or just menu while it's booting and can't get into safe mode so they must have changed the key combo, but anyway Safe mode is the same as on Windows so you can boot up if you get stuck in a boot loop and need to fix it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raphaelmo:
I see, thanks for trying. But I want to understand what happen last night!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaggyskunk:
Your best bet is to Google Android + safe mode. The same thing happened to me yesterday, but it happened after trying to open a website while I only had a bad connection only at Edge.. Apparently there's a belief that there may have been a corrupt app installed & yesterday there were a bunch of new app updates from Google, so maybe just the amount of updates caused one to get corrupted?

After rebooting twice, everything came back, except that the widgets on the desktop failed to load.

Rather than mess around I just did a nandroid restore (I do a nandroid backup almost every night & then delete the older ones every few days).

Figures not even 1 week after I purchased it they lowered the price. Hopefully they'll do the right thing and credit me the difference, including taxes..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] malikadnanm:
Gnex was the worst investment ever. Price has dropped to half what it was, I don't think that's ever happened before for any phone. I love the phone, but the crazy price drop is annoying.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] farfromovin:
Yeah, it sucks to be on our end when we bought it brand new first week of release, but hopefully this is a sign to come. Imagine if Google had 4 Nexus devices on the play store ranging from $299 to $499 or even $599. That would be great for Android and it would stick it to the stupid American carriers that keep pushing way over priced plans with subsidized "super phones". I really hope Google continues on the push for cheap unlocked nexus devices :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] magus57:
I'm really tempted to pick one up at that price (along with the Nexus Tab down the line), but between the Meizu 4-core and the GS3, it's a tough choice...I love the size/look of the Meizu the best of the three and the power/features are nice (but support for it will basically be dead outside of Meizu themselves), the GS3 undoubtedly will have the best combination of specs and development (but the design is ugly IMO, I hate Touchwiz, and I'd rather use a 7" tablet as a phone than have a 4.8" phone), and the Galaxy Nexus looks nice especially without buttons on the face and will always have the newest/fastest updates (but the specs aren't the best and I don't hear good things about the battery life).

I know this is obviously the GN forum and people don't want to say anything bad about their device...but are there any major problems the device suffers from (or is prone to)? Is the battery life as bad as some say?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cabal_:
Consumer electronics are not investments.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ceribaen:
For my use... I can easily do 12.5h with 4.5h screen on time... it depends on how you use the device and how you tweak it. Some rom/kernel combos work really nice. Also if I know I'm going to be on a full day + without ability to recharge I'll pre-emptively do things like kill syncing and set to dim brightness and such.

The main complaint I think is the 'banding'/graininess on white backgrounds at low brightness levels, and some purple looking blacks - but both can be tweaked as well (use higher brightness or gamma corrections with some custom kernels).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] malikadnanm:
Usually when u buy a high end device the value holds for a while and doesn't drop nearly as much as the gnex did. For example, the iPhone 4s or unlocked galaxy s 2 have held their values for quite a while. Great comment though, you're a genius.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] malikadnanm:

I bought a Galaxy Nexus 6 days ago from the play store. I just called them and they are refunding me the difference between the old price and new price. No arguing, very easy to do, they have a policy that deals with this. Here it is, taken from the email they sent me to start the refund process.

"When we offer a price reduction for an item you’ve purchased from Devices on Google Play, we’ll refund the difference in price if your purchase occurred within 15 days of the price reduction.

To receive a refund for the difference in price you must fill out our Devices on Google Play Price Protection form at...."
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
It does. Instead of enjoying your phone you're complaining the price dropped too fast. Just deal with it. Lots of people paid extra to have the device early. That's just how it is. I have absolutely no regrets that I bought mine 5 months ago for $550... just how it is.

I called them on a previous day to inquire about when products get shipped. The person basically said if you order before 7pm (not sure what time zone he was referring to but probably PST), it will ship that day. If ordered after, it will ship the following *business* day. So people who ordered late Friday night will get theirs shipped Monday night. You should get a tracking soon.
