[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] EugeneR:
There is a little difference in ATT, I think this should be mentioned in OP. In AT&T ROM, phone application

is in /system/app, but the name is a little different: SecPhone_ATT.apk.

So both files SecPhone_ATT.apk and SecPhone_ATT.odex should be backed up before replacing from the zip file.

After zip file is written from CWM, just go in /system/app, mount it in RW mode, using Root explorer, and do the following:

rename SecPhone_ATT.apk to SecPhone_ATT.save

rename SecPhone_ATT.odex to SecPhone_ATT.odex.save

rename new file (created by the zip you just wrote) SecPhone.apk to SecPhone_ATT.apk

Reboot

I just did - it works, thanks for non-increasing ringtone that was driving me crazy. I want my neighbours in the office to start enjoying my mostly annoying ringtone immediately when somebody calls me :D:D:D
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nitroman30:
Thanks got it working, I never found an odex file the first time I did it, after your post I went back to the dir and all i had was Secphone_ATT.apk and Secphone.apk so i renamed the Secphone_ATT.apk to .save and it works.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] JediSooner:
Not sure if it's a weird coincidence or what, but I did exactly this ^ and upon reboot, AudioGuru stopped allowing me to change my audio profiles (Normal, Work, Sleep, etc.) As soon as I restored the original SecPhone_ATT.apk and .odex then rebooted, AudioGuru started working again. :confused:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] yoelsd:

I didn't know its SecPhone_ATT.apk

Mod for U.S. Cellular SecPhone.apk

Hey yoelsd,

Thank you for offering this! Can you please mod my SecPhone.apk? This is for the S3 stock rom on U.S. Cellular. Many thanks!!!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jebise101:
since mines is a Bell S3 and OP is MIA i just extracted SecPhone_ATT.apk from OP zip file and renamed to SecPhone.apk then used root explorer deleted SecPhone.odex and overwrite and restarted and its working perfectly.

I have hated the increase ringing since the SGS (i9000), Sammy should make that an option.

Hope this helps all my non AT&T S3 buddies.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Misledz:
I've been trying to find a way to counter the low audio output from the Gnex. I thought the volume was an ICS issue considering the phone's output can handle quite alot more than the silent cricket whispering output it already has. Just when I thought JB had fixed this issue, turns out it hasn't. It's still the same old intensely low audio output.

I've tried almost everything, franco kernel app, Put the phone on Level 3 Ezkeel's MOD and high audio output, Volume+ (Seems to have no effect on JB, perhaps in need of an update?), Equalizer (Crashes instantly, can't even set options or anything)

With headphone's the phone's a BEAST. No doubt about it, Love it. But I can't seem to hear my calls and messages. It's either upset colleagues or an upset gf that assumes I'm ignoring them. Regardless, both are out to get me. :rolleyes: I'd love to hear my phone ringing when I'm outside, But it seems "Air" is alot louder than my phones audible level, can't even hear it ringing in my own pocket!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] moe6:
That modded JellyBean rom with Awesome Beats or whatever sounded the loudest in my testing. Of course I wasn't really paying attention at the time or I would've got my old phone out and a decibel meter app to test it :P.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Misledz:
Hmm. Going to attempt something later today
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IonAphis:
Not to get off topic here, but I installed CM9 RC and it has higher audio levels than stock, but after it finishes playing any sound on the speaker, a second or 2 later you get this pop or click (assumably the speaker turning off). Not only is that annoying, doesn´t that damage the speaker?

Does this modded Jelly Bean ROM do something similar?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Misledz:
That would damage it in the sense, slowly though. It's like forcing a higher level of output than it can handle. Normally the sound should fade, but if it pops that can damage the speaker. Also the JellyBean is pretty legit from Google. Low audio but nothing ezekeel audio mods can't fix
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hajime_android:
Hi, I just bought the Samsung HDTV Adapter. The main reason I bought it is that I could see what the camera is watching while taking the photo or video. However, whenever I activate any camera app, there is a message on my Note's screen that "HDMI not available while application is running..."

Anybody knows the reason and how to fix it? Also, for unknown reason, approximately top 5% and bottom 5% of my Note's screen are not being displayed on my HDTV.For example, on the home screen, the top half of the time is not displayed.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] pingling:
For the second part - the Note's screen resolution is 1280x800 (16:10) which is a bit more than the usual 1280x720 mode (16:9) in HDTV. Your TV may have automatic adaptation of the picture turned on and is trying to fit the picture by cutting here and there.

I've yet to try using camera with the mhl adapter. Maybe later today.

...

OK, I've tried - same result as yours.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r_win:
Help me please

I have a Brick Xperia X8, my Xperia Stuck on "Sony Ericsson" after I turn on my device. my Xperia has been rooted for GingerDX (actually i already try gingercruzz, froyobread, etc) and my xperia stuck in "Sony Ericsson" after I do full wipe and format system(because i already done many install and uninstall application). T T

if I charge my xperia through original charger, it only stuck on "Sony Ericsson" and the LED not flame.

I have tried using SEUS, PCC and Flashtool, but my Xperia cannot response while connecting usb cable and press back button. the program keep requesting for connecting usb cable and press back button. but the LED green is on

The Big Problem is " My Xperia won't response after the program request for connecting usb cable and press back button" that command always like that, even I connect usb cable to my phone and press back button. either in SEUS, PCC, Flashtool even in S1toll

I have tried to use Reelock bootloader(S1tool), but my xperia could not response too. either I click Identity, Flash or Restore. I have tried Gordon's Gate to reset my usb port, but my computer always hang when I connected USB cable and press back button.

Please, what can I do to save my Xperia X8...

my phone already bricked for 2 weeks, and I read many forum from XDA, Android-indonesia, kaskus, and many of bloggers but not worked for my Xperia

Help me Please...
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlackRabbit1703:
okay...

if you're still confuse, downgrade your phone!

its last option

downgrade into 2.1 - download this file from files crop X8 E15i 2.1.1.C.0.0._un.ftf

root your phone by flash tool..

then install xrecovery by clicking cross icon on flashtool

OR

download this file (password=cintaindonesia) and extract in your SDcard

after that copy paste three files(busybox, chargemon, xrecovery.tar) in system\bin

and you will get xrecovery

after that

unlock bootloader using flashtool OR s1tool

Flash the latest ICS kernel

backup

factory reset, wipe data, etc

Flash ROM

done!

Let's get this thread going by listing donations we've made and to which developers. No need to post amounts as no matter how large or small your donation is, I'm sure the awesome devs will still appreciate it. The OP will be updated to list member names please be honest, we don't want a thread with fake donations. The devs for this phone deserve better than that! Thanks community.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MrDowntown12:
Ah the vanity....

Well intended, I know, but...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
I think many would like to keep this private and see this as bragging. To me, it becomes about ego and false pride if you have to tell others about your charity.

But to each his own I guess.

I've given support to many in many devs in many different device forums, over the years because I appreciate the skill, time and work they put into it. Not large sums by any means but at least something when I can/I]. But I believe most devs do it for the fun of learning and tinkering. And then just getting some well deserved thanks is a huge thing (or is/was in my case) I know the donations are certainly appreciated and help give some motivation and cover expenses but some people just can't give all the time.

That's just my two cents - from an older guy who's been a tinkering with systems since when we actually had to write code on a punch card machine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wp7chris:
dang

my bad than people, it just seems to me that the majority of our devs are leaving so I thought this might help a few stay, or at least feel appreciated even though they are leaving. Lots of immaturity on these forums made a few leave, plus the s3...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
I donated but next time I will think it twice. (I have my reasons):mad:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wp7chris:
Why do you regret donating? Did something bad happen?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rujelus22:
If a dev is in it for the Donations, Then why would you want there work any way. You do not get the best work from people that do it for money. Oh and just to let you know they are not getting very much and that is not the reason we dev. We dev because it is fun.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
Though I've seen a lot of people post their confirmation of donation in an open thread, I choose to donate privately when I am able to give at all. Though I'm not able to give as much as I would like for the amazing work we are given, I hope my fawning adoration makes up for it. :D

Stupid thanks limit :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dark_Knight2:
Word to the wise. Never donate to any "developer" asking for donations before any rom/kernel is released. Ive kept my eye on the whole swamp goblin donation scam. That seems to happen alot around different sites. I would think a user who pulls a scam like that would be banned? Its gotta be against xda rules?

Edit: Just checked Swamp Goblins Profile, He hasnt posted anything anywhere sense June 21, 2012.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
The Dev performed the disappearing act...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
Swamp Goblin doesn't believe he actually asked for donations, I think it's a perception issue.

I understand Devs have real lives and don't get paid for what they do (aside from occasional donations) therefore they are beholden to no one for ETAs, however when you request help to get a specific phone and promise a product for it then you do have an obligation to at least stay present in the situation. That doesn't mean you have to have it complete but you do need to be active in letting people know what's going on.

Also I agree with a post made in another thread regarding this, if you know you are too busy to put full effort towards a project on which you asked for a donated phone, then you shouldn't have ever started the process until such time when you were unencumbered by so much other stuff. I have to say that people were incredibly tolerant with his lack of output for quite some time and should be acknowledged for that, it has only been recently that people have grown wary of his actual intentions and started to question his motives directly.

My only real issue with the guy (other than his lengthy absences from posting any sort of information) is that he once commented that he was struggling with the sense build so he was going to spend time working on another ROM for another phone and then return to the E4GT. I don't recall exactly where it was and it may have even been edited by now but at the time I felt something was off.

Initially many of us were excited at the prospect of sense and may have allowed that excitement to color our normal judgement, I was in on the initial push to help him find a phone but I was looking at ebay and places where he might pick one up with his own money. Nevertheless, bygones I suppose.

Now, with all that said, I would hope these few instances of possible scams don't discourage people from donating. My only advice would be to pay attention to the Developer's work, reputation, support for existing products and interaction here on the forums. When we donate we do so in good faith and I'm happy to say that with the vast majority of the Devs here, we are well paid in return.

2 batteries plus an external charger for them for $18. It says OEM with NFC, but we'll see. I'm not sure how much I'll use the NFC feature anyway, but I'm hoping this is what it says it is.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Bizdady:
It looks like the OEM but I dont see NFC anywhere.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] thegof:
Tempting due to the claim of OEM. Any bets on them being counterfit? Note the seller also offers a 2500mAh "compatible" version.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Bizdady:
I emailed the guy. It has no NFC antennae, those are extra lol oh well I just need backup battery untill OEM price comes down.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] BonesHopkins:
So it's not really OEM then is it? Don't the OEM ones come with the NFC built in?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] thegof:
Sadly, how can it be an OEM battery for the SGS3 without the antenna?

Does anyone have the P/N off of an original US version of the battery? I'm still waiting for mine. I contacted Anker about when they will stock one and they asked for the P/N. I've had great success with the Anker batteries in my Touch Pro 2 (on Sprint) which is what I'm upgrading from.

from : favorite444

Received it today. Looks like OEM, slightly different markings but says 2100mah and says Near Field Communications on it. It's charging up right now so I'll report back if NFC is actually working.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Bizdady:
Let us know, I emailed a different seller with the exact same battery and model number as well.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jiggytom:
Grr, no NFC...what bs. Why the heck would it say NFC if there is no NFC. Will reach out to seller to get some kind of credit (not sending this **** back to china). I guess its OK as a replacement battery, but I have NFC tags that I'm using.

I ordered a battery with the same claims and markings as this one (even the charger was the same). I don't know how the seller claimed that the battery was OEM since it didn't even fit in the phone!

I would stay away from these so called "OEM" batteries from eBay.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] Bizdady:
Do you have any nfc tags or another galaxy s3 near by to test? The issue will probably be when it tries to communicate with the other tag. The battery is what has the antennae.

So I have been looking everywhere, all over the internet for a solution to my problem and this is my final attempt before I send it into mobile tech videos for repair. about a week ago my phone randomly got stuck in bootloop, so I went in and flashed and updated version of coredroid, which worked at first but froze a few minutes in. after that I formatted everything except sd card, did factory reset, etc.. and tried to reflash the rom, no cigar. I ended up reformatting my sd card and reverting back to cwm from 4ext touch and tried to reflash stock rom which did not work either. and each time I go in to try to do anything it says:

E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log

E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
