[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Visionikz03:
yeah im not sure why so many people are complaining. If u want the official ICS that badly go blow ur money on the GS3 a year after u bought the GS2. Otherwise you have to wait just like everyone else. Don't expect the newest technology to just be handed to u on a silver platter just cuz you own an earlier version of it. Sprint doesn't owe you a thing. No where in your contract with them does it state that they "owe" you and OS upgrade in x amount of time. They do OTA upgrades as a courtesy when it makes sense to them. They are in the business to take customers away from other carriers and keep their current ones mostly satisfied on the side. If that's not enough then thats the beauty of capitalism. Find another carrier and pay more. You can't have it all.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
Well like I already said I'm happy with Sprint. They have good price for their plans which r Truly unlimited. And I'm running ics right now so it's all good. Source would make it that much better though. GsIII probably would be a good upgrade I'm just not eligible right now like most. And from what some people with that device have said they aren't that impressed anyway.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elliwigy:
yea.. better screen.. more ram.. i personally hope by the time i can upgrade if i stick with sprint will go for a quad core phone if its out lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darktranquility18:
What's so wrong with the ICS leaks we've got so far? Been using it as my daily driver for a while now and I couldn't be happier honestly
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
Don't know. I'm running sfhubb's FF18 fire a while now with no problems. Everyone seems to think source would make a really big difference but I don't see how.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jastonas:
Since Android 4.0, Google has declared war on the menu button and all devices come out with Recents - Home - Back buttons.

Samsung for some reason decided to move forward with the menu button.

Would it be easy to remap the left capacitive button and make it show the recents instead of the menu action?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
Does it really bother you that much to keep the hardware-button pressed down for like 1 second to display the 'Recent' list?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jastonas:
It bothers me, that much :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] setspeed:
It bother me that much as well - it's just slow.

I think I'd prefer the mod to be double-click home button though, since I rarely use S Voice and it's no hassle to find and click the icon for it whenever I want to use it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Olywa123:
This bothers me too :)

Would be nice to have it on the menu button. Even an app/shortcut on the homescreen for it would be nice.

I wonder also if there is a way to limit the recent lists as well, if I don't check it sometimes the list can be massive - would be nice to limit this to like 5 items or something.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jastonas:
Anyone who used the CM10 on screen nav buttons, knows how much better it is to have the recents key available on a beast like the sgs3.

I wish we could change it but I am afraid this will never be possible on a samsung rom :(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graffixnyc:
open up Generic.kl in /system/usr/keylayout

that should work
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jastonas:
That's half working. It does work as APP_SWITCH but Android doesn't recognize the lack of the MENU button so it's doesn't show the settings buttons that are needed in most applications.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wednesday13:

Now I cannot seem to apply the OTA update. Can somebody help guide me to successfully update the OTA?

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kai-row:
Hi,

I had the same issue. You need to install Samsung Kies on a PC and install the firmware update with Kies. Be aware that your device is not rooted anymore after that procedure.

So you have to root it again. But not a big task though.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hefonthefjords:
Of course you cant. Root = no ota or official support.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
As multiple posts say root = no OTA .

But if you actually read the latest CF root instructions .

Recovery - ClockWorkMod (CWM)

A custom CWM 5.5 build is included in CF-Root, taken from this thread. This provides for the ability to install custom ROMs, and do nandroid (full device) backups and restores. Now also support OTA updates, but an OTA update itself will probably remove CWM, so you need re-flash CF-Root after OTA.

But why piss about with root then back to official update and then root again .

Join XDA and flash stock rom when you want .

Plus with 84 posts you should be able to read the fffff rules

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pandata000:
Anyone tried it ? What are the first impressions ?

http://developer.android.com/guide/google/gcm/index.html
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaR-V-iN:
Why should anybody want this?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pandata000:
Well, it depends from the app, iOS has push notifications (which are almost the same), and this one will be good if you want to send messages to users app remotely - for example alerting them for event or something ....
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaR-V-iN:
But you could have done this without google... push notifications do not require a server by google (however you need one, but that shouldn't be the problem these days)

iOS and Windows Phone both have an OS dependant push notification service. That's simple because you have (or had) no internet connection from background apps on those OSs - so the only way to reach an app is via push using apple/microsoft servers - android does not have this restriction - so why give your/your user's data to google?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mocelet2000:
To avoid having background tasks and permanent connections that would degrade the performance of the device.

However, I don't feel that sending a push message that just tells the user that there's new stuff in the app hurts or discloses any private info. Even, thanks to Android, you could use the push notification to "awake" the app, then the app connects silently to your own server to get the info it needs, without google knowing, and closing the connection right after.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaR-V-iN:
That's not correct - you just give away the background task / permanent connection to another application, it's still needed. Moreover, with using this "service" you force your users to have gapps installed (and currently also JB, as gcm is currently only available in the newest Google APIs)

If its only a tickle to notify the app that there is sth to update its not a privacy problem. But gcm allows you to send 4k of payload - this could be a private or chat message. (google gives such an example: http://developer.android.com/guide/google/gcm/adv.html#payload )

That's right, but the question is if I - as a user for now - want this. Should the app developer (and Google!) be able to start apps on my phone to do things?

I'm not going to tell you that google will know about it - it's up to you to find this out.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mocelet2000:
I agree, being not universal is a problem. But I prefer just an open connection to a notification server than many connections and multiple background services that developers might have not optimized.

Regarding what Google knows or not, it actually has nothing to do with GCM :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaR-V-iN:
GCM does not stop developers from doing **** with their background services.

You might be right, that one connection is better than many, however it is important to see, that most traffic on android devices today is with google servers - even if your mails are not there. All this traffic is not done with a single connection, but often many parallel connections. So google should optimize thier own things, else this is useless to me, as i do not need those google apps and i would have less connections with every other app using their own connection than with google apps installed.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pandata000:
However GCM is just an additional option for developers, which itself is good. The C2DM was a poor try to make things done. I hope this time its better :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaR-V-iN:
GCM is just an additional option for developers who want to make their apps incompatible with AOSP. However as there still are developers out there that do not know what AOSP is, they do not know that using GCM makes them incompatible. So GCM is not good at all, because it may be used "accidentally" by those developers.

So GCM is even worse than the pendants for iOS or WP, because there the push service is available for everyone.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pandata000:
Agree ! But without any other alternatives, it's still an option :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaR-V-iN:
There is an alternative: write your own stuff. A push server is not that complicated. As you propably already got a server (because i dont think you want to send GCM pings from your home :p) you got all you need, to not use GCM.

WHAT THIS TWEAK DOES:

This flash-able Volume-tweak.zip includes both mods simultaneously.

1) Silent Camera!

Volume.db

Replacing the existing volume.db file, the one I'm including disables all shutter sounds (which I may change to one of the shutter sounds), autofocus sounds, and other obnoxious camera tones. I understand that Samsung's idea is to make people aware that others may be photographing them, privacy stuff and all, but let's be honest shall we? Creepers are going to creep one way or another, and the autofocus 'beep' disturbs the baby and makes the dog bark! It also disables the boot sound. Best part of this tweak, it doesn't even touch the actual camera apk!

2) Volume Enhancing!

default_gain.conf

The next is a mod adapted from the developer Meltus. You may know him for other awesome volume modifications, but this one he made for the GSIII international. This should make the phone overall louder in all respects. I have, however, adjusted it from his original settings to keep the volume from reaching 'crackling' volumes and possibly damaging the speakers. This level sounds loud and still sounds good. :good:​

Do you have this mod working on your device? I ask because I got burned on the teh kernel, and I'm a little more cautious about what I flash from now on.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RandomKing:
It's brilliantly simple. Most android phones come with these settings ingrained into the kernel, but Samsung has left them out. In theory, one could make these adjustments from on the phone itself, if you can open a .db file. Very simple, nothing that can break a phone. Just be careful not to blow out your speaker or your ears. :p

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RandomKing:
Sweet! :highfive:

As an addendum, this tweak is even neater because it disables the camera noises on a system level. I've seen a supposed higher-resolution camcording camera apk floating around that 'supposedly' disables camera noises as well... but it doesn't matter if it does because this tweak stays in effect. I don't believe this will affect other camera apps... but any Samsung camera variant should be muted.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] uoY_redruM:
For the sound boost (using the international tweak) you used the config file, correct?

That file does not, by default, exist on our US variants. I've personally included the tweak in my ROM over on T-Mobile. I've had a person or two say it made no difference. Me personally, I thought it was louder then hell (changed speaker boost from 0 to 40 and headphones from 0 to 25). If I put the volume on the lowest possible setting, its very audible still. With my headphones, I put it on three ticks and it was loud. Putting it up fully made me feel like my eardrums were going to pop.

What are your feelings on the tweaks? Do you think they actually work? Considering the config file doesn't exist by default, do you think they're actually pointed to in our system to be used?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RandomKing:
I too noticed that the file isn't there, and was momentarily skeptical. But as the base coding is likely fundamentally identical, I thought I'd give it a chance. It's hard to fully test while at work... but I can hear my mp3 alarms quite clearly now. I had made a thread days ago regarding how my songs play fine in the player, but at half volume as alarms. The alarm was much much louder! And I generally have a fairly discerning ear.

That said, I now have to experiment the individual settings I think. :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] uoY_redruM:
I agree the coding is likely identical. My skepticism comes more from the fact that the file doesn't exist by default. If it doesn't exist, and we add it, does anything in our system actually point to the config file in order for it to actually take effect?

Regardless, I'm pretty positive it works. I just was hoping someone had a better understanding of how it works and if it's actually pointed to.

When you play around with it, mind PMing me your results? I'm curious what you get.

For one, change the headphone settings and try with your headphones plugged in. I think they're extremely loud with the boost set to 25..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RandomKing:
Certainly. If different values draw drastically different effects... I'll probably be making a "Louder but comfortable" version and an "Extremely loud, hearing damage may ensue" version. :good:
