Hello.

I 've just bought my new cellphone which is Galaxy S3. The thing is that I don't know how many hours should I charge it for first time before turning it on.

Thank you for your help :good:
[Galaxy S III General] yuvas:
It's all a Myth!

Read this. http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/is_lithium_ion_the_ideal_battery

FYI when I Bought my SGS3 I charged it till 100% as soon as I Opened it from the box.

It really doesn't matter how you plan to do the Initial charge!

Hope this helped!
[Galaxy S III General] JJEgan:
Charge longer than you searched .

jje
[Galaxy S III General] panais86:
it's been charging for 8 hours now. Should I turn it on then? Thanks again:good:
[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
These aren't nickel cadmium batteries. These batteries have chips in them and are smart batteries. They do not suffer from memory problems. That chip malfunctions then that's another story, your phone can explode.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wulfjan:
Hi Guys,

i flashed a kernel with "BOOTLOADER" button in Odin. Odin stopped at "sending zImage", of course it did not work. I did not reboot since then, phone is still in download mode and is recognized by Odin. I tried to reflash a correct bootloader, but Odin stops at "SetupConnection..". I tried all USB ports, different computers and even heimdall within linux. Heimdall fails at "Initializing protocol". Do you have any ideas what i can try until i plug the battery? I bet its hard bricked after then...Any help is appreciated...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atifsh:
I think it will be ok, but what you can do

Remove the cable, restart the Odin, plug in cable and if it recognizes, than you can flash a complete Rom to be safe.

But wait for few more posts..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smasher007:
1) Try a new micro usb cable.

2) Verify the MD5 of the bootloader which you downloaded.

3) Try a different ODIN.

4) Remove the External SD Card if any.

Report back with the results.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wulfjan:
Hi,

thank you for your replies. I borrowed the original usb cable which was in the samsung box from a friend. Still no luck. That was my last chance, i already tried different Odin versions but forgot to mention. I pulled the battery and crossed my fingers for about 5 minutes :) Restarted and the bootloader was okay!! Somehow Odin did not destroy it while flashing the kernel...I will never ever touch this tool again, this was a very hard day for me :laugh: Thanks again for your replies!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] megaghostgamer:
Thank you so much for posting this thread! I would have never knew about this. I'm willing to contribute to Jellybean although I'm with the Evo Shift now. I can make AOSP whenever the first jellybean Rom is released hopefully fixing some things! :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whoshotjr2006:
count me in, i still have a few months on my heroc left until i upgrade

most of the fixes that happened from eligorom should be able to be applied to jellybean, as its basically the same rom as ics (from early reports)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Hammerfest:
I really need to add it to a signature when here in the HeroC forums, but:

My HeroC has been inactive on a carrier for the last year +, that being said, I still use the crap out of the device when I can, for a clock/alarm, music, GVoice and GrooveIP phone calls when home...

Basically, I would LOVE to see this thing continue to get updates, I still run CM7 over CM9 or ICS because for me, I see the most performance with CM7. Your talk of the PDK has me excited that I might see equal or better performance out of Jelly Bean on my HeroC!

TYVM, keep us updated :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whoshotjr2006:
im pretty sure jellybean is going to run equal with ics for us, since hardware acceleration is still not available to us

i've been scouring the web for a solution, but no dice so far. we can turn off hwa, but i see no performance increase from doing so

from what i read, its going to take a module and some tweaks, so its going to take a dev with alot of time and knowledge on their hands to get us up to par with the adreno 200, which may never happen (although i hope it does, the heroc is awesome)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] john9:
Thanks for sharing! Hard!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] megaghostgamer:
Not to sure if it can get 4.1. I'm having troubles getting it on the Evo Shift right now...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] EggosEvo:
So will Project Butter have no effect on the Hero? I would think that it would at least have some effect in adding smoothness.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alex_camacho:
I have to say I'm really exited about this. I ran ICS a few times on my hero with no problems, but I'm still using it as a daily even though I'm sure it would run fine. Ive been thinking about upgrading, but i don't see why. I really don't like any new phones. Their too big, no track ball, and i just simply don't like any of the new phones out right now. So all that being said... JELLYBEAN :-)!!!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Shelnutt2:
Source is out!

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/android-building/XBYeD-bhk1o

edit: Not quite yet.

I'll update the TeamICS github with a new manifest for it as soon as it's out. Good news is that I happen to have tomorrow off so looks like I'll get a nice full day of playing around and trying to get it building. As with ICS I suspect most things will be broken, audio, dalvik, etc. So we'll have to port the ICS patches to jb. Once cm updates it's sources to jb, then we can switch back to them as they will have most of the patches in place already.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] megaghostgamer:
I change my mind, i do think the hero can run jb BUT im not to sure about 5.0 or whatever they call it.. i upgraded to the evo shift and love it!! Just letting y'all know because this might be the last upgrade sadly said :/
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whoshotjr2006:
awesome, cant wait to see the first source build :D

ill help in whatever way i can, i just cant dl source because of my crappy internet connection (but if i can find someone to borrow faster internet from for a few hours ill most definitely dl source and try to contribute back that way)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] megaghostgamer:
Lol may take me a while before I can start porting for the hero again..

My current projects for the evo shift:

Motoblur

Porting Sense

4.1

3.0

Thats pretty much it =)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Shelnutt2:
Well the cyanogenmod guys are making quick work of jellybean. Every hour more and more patches are ported over. Good news is we are very close to a build. Here are the current issue and workarounds.

Audio doesn't build, working on porting it over

problems with v6 in dalvik, changed to arm mode and ported ics *.S files

problems building aac, due to asm code, currently disabled

problems building srec due to audio issue, working on porting audio

haven't ported camera

Currently hungry and looking for lunch :fingers-crossed:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ganja5000:
So excited. My Hero has a sweet tooth.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] megaghostgamer:
Ha yeah to be honest the hero is getting more development on ics then my evo shift because y'all have aokp.. I need help with someone getting it to work on my evo shift.. We just had a ICS Kernel released so that better get some devs working :).. Even though we lost A LOT to the evo 4g lte sadly said..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ganja5000:
I dont know about AOKP. Sure it was ported, but what work has there been done on it since? Honestly ICS ran super smooth for me on my Hero, especially coupled with V6SuperCharger. I was using LauncherPro on ICS to add to the smoothness, but the V6SuperCharger allows for smooth use of Apex.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whoshotjr2006:
yeah, it wasnt aokp that accelerated our cause, aokp has only been around for a few weeks for us so far. it was jaybob's ics aosp rom that really kicked things into gear. that and stritfajt with the camera fix, and the guys over at hero gsm for all the different tweaks and fixes, and mongoosehelix over at eris that kicked butt with evervolv for us. im sure im missing some people, but it doesnt make them any less important to the cause.

and last but not least all the testers and rom flashers that gave excellent feedback

i look forward to seeing jb run like ics :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Shelnutt2:
So the reason it's unflashable was because it's over the 170mb limit of the phone. Even though I'm using firerats there still seems to be a hard limit of the recovery and fastboot. The solution is to use a newer recovery, anything cwm 3.x or higher works. The dev phone I'm using had 2.5 cwm and that was the issue. Now it flashes fine. Only problem is for some reason sh didn't build, so now I'm looking to see why it didn't build.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] whoshotjr2006:
we can cut out some cruft, like live wallpapers, and ringtones/notification sounds. live wallpapers dont work well on heroc anyway.

the sh error is boggling me too, supposedly its mksh symlinked as sh, which should have worked as thats how it is in ics roms.

im on the job lol

edit: yeah something is definitely rotton with those permissions, i checked them against an ics rom and everything checks out, but we still get the permissions error. i'm wondering if its the update binary possibly? ill do some checking and let you know one way or the other

[Motorola Photon 4G] photon4glover:
Will we see cm10??
[Motorola Photon 4G] Shad0wguy:
CM10, most likely

Official from Moto, no way in hell
[Motorola Photon 4G] findthedr:
doubt it unless Motorola/google are able to convince Sprint into making their existing phones (like the photon) into a "nexus" build.

They are aldready 1yr late on ICS.
[Motorola Photon 4G] photon4glover:
I'm doubting ics from motor lol
[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
eh cm10? i really doubt it. we dont even know how much of a change key lime will be.

if you are talking about cm9.1 then yea prolly ;)
[Motorola Photon 4G] photon4glover:
I don't think it'll be cm9.1
[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
they just pushed cm9 rc1, for them to have to start over with graphics and all that for the changes, i dont see happening. jb is very nice and i cant wiat for it but it wasnt groudbreaking like ics was and keylime in nov will prolly be cm10
[Motorola Photon 4G] photon4glover:
where can I get the new play store on cm9 so I can get TV shows
[Motorola Photon 4G] willysp:
Since this thread is titled "Jellybean", it's probably not the best thread in which to ask about CM9 things! :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] ericdabbs:
I wish Motorola would just forgo ICS and just work on a JB ROM for the Photon since we have to wait for Q4 release anyways. I wouldn't mind if it didn't get released until Nov/Dec if that is what it took. I would love to use Google Now and new voice feature.
[Motorola Photon 4G] DaftDev:
I agree with this idea. Since the changes from ICS are minor, why not just go to the newest version?
[Motorola Photon 4G] willysp:
I agree - can't imagine that JB will take much more work than ICS.
[Motorola Photon 4G] demonotaku:

[Motorola Photon 4G] photon4glover:
Ik lol not to be rude but kinda unrelated
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
1. Can we stop hating on Motorola? Our phones are made by Motorola Mobility, which is now a part of Google. I think Google deserves a fair share of blame for capable Motorola phones not being updated with/shortly after the Nexus line. Nexus is third-party anyway. N1 was HTC, next one was either HTC or Samsung, GNex is Samsung, and N7 is Asus. First-party is the Droid line and anything else by Motorola.

2. JB should be CM10; KLP should be CM11. J is the 10th letter of the alphabet; I the 9th. CM hasn't done .n releases for major revisions of Android arbitrarily considered to be minor. CM7.2 is still Gingerbread. There is no CM8 AFAIK because that number is reserved for Honeycomb. (Maybe there is a CM8 based on HC and I'm simply misinformed. But I haven't heard of it.)

3. I don't trust Google/Motorola Mobility to upgrade us Electrify owners to anything. I do believe Photon will get ICS by the end of the year, if not sooner.

4. "Why don't they skip ICS?" Your Money. They know you... or rather the uninformed masses... will buy an ICS phone to replace their GB phone, then a JB phone to replace that.

5. There is no new Play Store. You may have heard about a new Play storefront that removes reflections. It's all server side; you have it already.
[Motorola Photon 4G] na7q:
google is not to blame. the "old" motorola is. at this point in time at least.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Shad0wguy:
No, see that makes sense, which motorola seems to be lacking. Hopefully Google can have some influence here though I doubt it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ericdabbs:
Well if Motorola is truly working on a new LTE phone for Sprint then I doubt Sprint would entertain the JB ROM idea for the Photon 4G. Depending on when the phone is going to be released, they might target the new LTE phone to have Jelly Bean especially if the phone won't launch until October/November.
[Motorola Photon 4G] LexLuger82:
Google moto
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
So at what point does Google become responsible for its acquisition, in your opinion? In mine it's now; legally for legal matters it's the day they acquire them but I give them a little slack.

Motorola itself no longer owns Motorola Mobility. It's not on them. Why would it be?

Swyped from my Motorola Electrify using Tapatalk
[Motorola Photon 4G] willysp:
Final integration of acquisitions can take years.

And, as widely reported, google bought Moto for patents, not products, so I don't expect google to care much at all about currently released products.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
Okay, that answer makes sense. That works.

But it doesn't matter that they only wanted a patent portfolio. They now own an Android OEM. If they don't support it, I think it's reasonable to hold that against them, especially with regards to that one fruity company that also makes smartphones. (They support their hardware with timely updates is what I'm saying.)

Swyped from my Motorola Electrify using Tapatalk
[Motorola Photon 4G] willysp:
I agree, my friend. google has not even begun to address Android fragmentation......... If they don't, the "fruity company" will kill them, and deservedly so.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Android 17:
I would not blame them from Moto's previous failings, such as failing to update older models, however, from this point forward, I would at least hold them partly at fault.

They had no say or design on phones like the Photon, however, if a Photon 2 were to come out a few months from now, they should certainly hold some of the burden.
[Motorola Photon 4G] hellot1M:
I just want to play with the new "Google now" lol. Seems like an interesting feature. And also I have they gone with the tablet ics notification bar with JB? They never mentioned it in any of the feature and changes reviews but in most the articles about jelly bean the screen shots of the notification bar look like the tablet version. Instead of swiping down you just tap. One of the my favorite features and reasons why paranoid is my primary rom
[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
google now is amazing, its so much fun guys :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] R2DeeTard:
Yup! Played around with JB on my buddy's GNex. Flippin butter!
[Motorola Photon 4G] MikeyLee:
Can you upload the apk here please?
[Motorola Photon 4G] na7q:
fragmention is not a google problem at all. it's a manufacturer problem.
[Motorola Photon 4G] hellot1M:
I don't think that's possible. Google now is an inter grated feature within jellybean. It would be sweet to have this for ics till we can get JB for our phone
[Motorola Photon 4G] MikeyLee:
I'm sure someone will figure it out in time

---------- Post added at 01:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:57 PM ----------

What are you using this on?
[Motorola Photon 4G] hellot1M:
Yea you may be right. From how they explained it someone may have to build a launcher for it. Which seems possible for porting to ics
[Motorola Photon 4G] willysp:
Disagree - in the sense that google needs to put policies in place to make it happen.

Agree - in the sense that OEM's need to stop putting silly layers on top of Android.

google and its OEMs need to just get their f-----g act together.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
I take issue with Photon (Electrify) being classified as an "older model". It's a current phone. Google needs to say "Why the frak is the Photon/Electrify not running ICS?" Better yet, they need to get Motorola Mobility's leaders and ask why every capable Motorola handset isn't upgraded to the latest it can handle, and if anybody says anything like "It will be done by the end of" (I don't know, July?), they're fired, find somebody competent to do their job.

They're part of Google now. We all might as well write Google on our phones. We have phones made by a company that is a part of Google; ergo, we have Google phones.

Another thing they need to do is post an unlock on their site. Forget the carriers, go around them like HTC does. Once they unlock us, they can offer ROMs directly. Stick with Blur through your carrier, or download our app, unlock, and get upgraded to ICS. Or JB. At this point they can skip ICS officially.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Koala Kid:
Not really. My guess it's the patent pool Google is after. Otherwise what is the reason that the whole Nexus line is being manufactured by everybody and their mother, except Moto?
[Motorola Photon 4G] my2cents:
Key lime? I was hoping for Kettle Corn... :p
[Motorola Photon 4G] na7q:
i completely disagree. it's obvious you don't get it. google is not apple. google=android. google has nothing to do with manufacturers. period. including moto at this point. it's too early for them to do anything. and that's quite obvious. otherwise we'd have ics and maybe even jb at this point. :cool: so if you want a phone that's the same as everyone else's might i suggest you get an "awesome" iphone.
[Motorola Photon 4G] willysp:
Do you not have a Shift key or Enter key? Capital letters and paragraphs are awesome and actually are really expected in the 21st century!

And as I said originally wrt fragmentation:

Disagree - in the sense that google needs to put policies in place to make it happen.

Agree - in the sense that OEM's need to stop putting silly layers on top of Android.

Where in those comments do you see that I (1) don't like Android, (2) want a sheeple-iphone?

I want google to keep dominating. Sorry about your reading comprehension.......

[Galaxy S III Accessories] pavouk:
There are a lot of options on eBay and Amazon, but I was wondering if somebody has already one.

I found this one: I seems minimalistic and they have different colors too and key hole for storage. But the dimples on the back seems like irritant to me.

Than there is another one that has the backing lot larger, but lot of seems that might be uncomfortable

Thank you for all your input

[Galaxy S III Accessories] Rev3ge07:
Has anyone bought a armband for running at all id can't find any locally for my phone and id rather not order untill I kno how they preform and feel also I have really big arms anyone found on that is really large around

so i ordered the first one the one with the dimple things only cause it looks like it would stay on my arm a lil better without being so tight i hope its long good price too
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Felchy:
I had similar issues finding a case when I had a Nexus S. I also have big arms, it seems like most of the cases are designed to fit arms of < 15 inches.

What I ended up doing was getting a cheap TPU case like this one, then taking a utility knife and cutting a couple of slits in it. I then paired it with a strap like this one.

It worked quite well with my Nexus S and I'm probably going to end up doing the same thing with my S3.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] thenikeman:
Good idea! Assuming the strap went behind the phone...did you ever feel like the phone was going to pop out of the TPU case with the extra thickness of the strap?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] cypho:
I have used a few armbands (though not with the S3), but then I got this: iFitness Neoprene Running Belt I'll never go back to an arm band again, the waist pouch is so much more comfortable to wear.

It is big enough to fit the S3 (along with my house-keys) though it is a bit harder to get the phone in/out than it was with my S1/Captivate. It probably would not fit if you have a bulky(i.e. Otterbox Defender) case on the phone though.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kingwp1:
I agree. Those belt-style holders are much better than armbands, in my opinion. I have one as well, though I bought a different brand. I have to put in a "Shop Local" plug here, cuz this company is based where I live, Austin, TX:

http://www.spibelt.com/spibelt.php

If you're worried about your keys scratching your phone, they have a belt with two pockets. If the GS3 is a little tight in that other belt, these guys have a belt with a larger size. The Spibelt's material is also thin enough that you can hit buttons on your phone without taking it out of the pouch (all we need now is a rom that can advance songs with the volume rocker for the GS3)

I'm not a salesman, just a happy customer :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Felchy:
Yes, the strap went behind the phone.

I can't speak to the S3 as I don't have that S-curve case yet but with my Nexus S I never had any concern that the phone would pop out. The S-curve case for my Nexus S had quite a substantial 'lip' that kept the phone securely in the case. Based on the pics in that ebay ad, the design for the S3 looks to have very similar 'lip'.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] v3rn:
Belkin makes a fitness armband specially for the S3. I ordered one off Amazon, but a few places carry it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] afbond03:
I like the running belt idea, never considered it before. Might have to now.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] KrisPeezy:
does anybody have experience with this CrazyOnDigital armband or manufacturer?

or have any comments on it?
