oh... we have apps called autostarts though (search for it).... but becareful... you might accidentally disabled key apps for the phone to function properly... last time i disabled so many to the point that i need to reflash the ROM back... lol.. silly me... :p

---------- Post added at 11:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:21 PM ----------

lol... i get the feeling it is from phoenix kernel... :D
[Streak 5 Android Development] macexplorer:
Yes. I use it in my Streak. But it kind of feels useless at times. Sometimes apps on reinstalling, get reset from autostarts..

its just no where close to 100% effective.

And it doesnt retain state. TI backup and full restore doesnt return it back to previous settings.

But actually to launch or not should be a user control, not a forced sarcastic maybe that droid is given me. Hence a deeper level of control is required.

Thanks Ten,

Do you think Bluetooth driver update?
[Streak 5 Android Development] tenorntex:
That is a possibility. But that will be later down the road. The Kernel itself is a lot of come to go through, so baby steps right now.
[Streak 5 Android Development] djmax81:
Hey.!Ten just an idea .!!! Can u add drivers or edit kernel for (10 point multitouch screen)
[Streak 5 Android Development] deysmacro:
10 point? wow... even to get to 5 point is quite tough... but if that even possible, i am all for it... drooling now... lol... :D
[Streak 5 Android Development] djmax81:
Yeah.!in short I meant more then 2points multitouch lol would be Nice :beer:

Reaching out to the population and gathering what everyone has heard on the actual verizon release date of the Galaxy SIII. There are so many different dates online, anyone have any inside with a bit more of a concrete date?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] thepieguy:
I've had my One X on AT&T for a couple of weeks now, I quickly fell in love with the design and build quality of the hardware. The screen is simply the best I've ever seen. The camera and camera app are great. I'm coming from a Captivate so of course everything is an improvement. But there are a few minor but important to me things that are really bugging me, I was wondering if S3 owners could let me know how they are. I'm trying to stay with the stock ROM this time around.

First, I was looking forward to finally having a notification LED again. But the HOX's is utter crap. It's tiny, dim, green only, and dismisses itself after a few minutes. Is the S3's easy to see in a well lit room? Can you customize the colors for different notification types?

Second, the vibration is absurd on the HOX. It's too strong and too loud and completely uncustomizable. Can you change the vibration intensity or the pattern for notifications or other things on the S3? Is it noisy when it vibrates?

Lastly, I am surprisingly disappointed in the battery life. I feel like Anandtech's review really led me astray here. It seemed manageable for the first few days but now I really feel like I have to curb my usage during the day so I won't have to immediately plug it in when I get home. I've even tried to set it up for power saving but it seems like after 12 hours off the charger with pretty moderate usage (maybe 2hrs of screen time) it is begging to be plugged in. Any thoughts on the S3 in this regard?

Thank you for any input. I'm not looking forward to having to pay the restock fee or cover the price differential (got the One X for $120) but I'll do it if it will alleviate these little things that constantly bug me through the day.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] twosixths:
My thoughts...

Short answer. It depends.

I had the One S for two months before switching to the T-Mo version of the S3. Though the One S and One X aren't identical, they're pretty similar in terms of hardware, UI, and features.

Modding

Though I can't speak for the One X, if you frequent XDA and love to tinker with your phone, I think the S3 is going to offer more opportunity. Its the same exact phone with all carriers so there will probably be more development. There weren't a ton of One S developers and the phone had already been out for some time. That being said, if you're less inclined to tinker, I really feel that Sense 4.0 has come a long way. Its clean and well put together (especially compared to the Touchwiz UI on the S3). Touchwiz has a thousand features you'll never use and misses features you'd always use (like being able to change a song on the lockscreen as opposed to having to unlock the phone).

Storage

Lack of expandable storage sucks. Even with Dropbox, if you're on a 6 hour flight (which I am frequently), streaming doesn't help. If you're one that can live without your whole media collection with you and don't mind streaming, I'd give the edge to the One X, but if you (like me) fly alot, the S3.

Battery

My brother in law has the One X, and I had the One S. Perhaps it was the smaller screen, but I never had an issue with the battery. It would last 18 hours commonly and seldom needed a recharge. I doubt the S3 battery is much better, but the fact you can carry around other batteries helps. Though.. IMHO, Duracell and others make a USB charger that you can plug in to your phone for a charge. Is it better to carry one of those around or a spare battery? Either way it sucks because you have to carry something. I'd say this is a draw.

Audio

I'm sure many will flame me and disagree, but the audio absolutely sucks on the S3 (at least the US version since we were robbed of the Wolfson chip). Bland, bass-less. Its like listening to music with a tin can on your head. I think this will get better over time as devs make modifications (like Voodoo sound), but for now, its crap. People around here seem to dislike Beats audio, but I gotta say.. It sounds significantly better than the stock S3. Hopefully that gets fixed, maybe it never will.

Camera

This is a tough one. I loved the camera on the One S (and presumably, One X). PM me and I'll send you some shots I took with it. You would have a hard time believing its not a DSLR. The S3 camera is good... It has some nice features. I'm not sure it holds up as well in low-light and I'm not sure it captures color as well as the One series. Just MHO. Both are great, but I felt with the One S the quality of picture I was getting eliminated my need to carry a second camera. I'm not sure I feel the same way about the S3. Pictures still seem like they were taken by a camera phone...

I'm not gonna lie... I've had the S3 for a little over a week. I like it. But there are still so many things I miss about the One series. I'm hoping as the dev community grows for the S3, eventually I'll be happy I made the switch.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] thepieguy:
Hey thanks for your thoughts on this. Pretty much what I was thinking... they're both great but each does some things better than the other. It's funny you mention the audio, I did think the One X sounds pretty impressive when I loaded some music on it. Hopefully I can find a demo S3 in store so I can find answers my nitpicky questions about the notification LED and vibration functions.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] kingoftowns:
The LED is pretty bright, and stays on. I can easily see it from across the room.

not sure about the vibration, I rarely use it and have never experienced the One X

Battery life is surprisingly good one the S3, and as mentioned you can always get a second battery, I got a battery charger from Samsung and it came with an extra battery for $50 between those two I never run out.

I know you said you would like to stick with the stock ROM but if you are willing to load a custom ROM this one: http://goo.gl/WP6TC is giving me much better battery life than the stock one.

a coworker has the EVO 4G LTE (Sprints version of the One X) and it is pretty nice and feels a bit more solid but I like the removable battery and SD card slot on the S3 and considering Samsungs bootloaders are unlocked and they make the source code available immediately I knew there would be more development for the S3 than the One X.

both phones are awesome but the grass is always greener on the other side so I'm sure whichever one you go with you're gonna want the other, at least that's how I am.

I've been pretty happy with the S3 for the <2 weeks I've had it. now I just need Sprint to hurry up and flip the switch on LTE in LA.

Good Luck Man!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] El Nivek:
The only reason I would consider getting a One X over my S III is the screen. Not a fan of the PenTile display and its much dimmer than the One X. However, I'm keeping the S III because of a massive developer base. :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] dtmcnamara:
Swapped my HTC One X for the SGS3...and absolutely love my decision. Best feature of all is the eye tracking, the fact that when im reading the phone and the screen never turns off is worth it alone. Then you have better battery life, I can actually get an entire day out of a charge on this phone unlike the HOX, I get better signal here in ATL and have less drop calls, then you still have the replaceable battery and expandable memory...and finally NFC

Like I said, got rid of my HOX for the SGS3 and LOVE IT!!! Do it today, tomorrow, yesterday

PS- I personally think the screen looks so much brighter and better than the HOX

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Stryker1297:
1: the led on th s3 is a lot stronger ive tested

2: havent compared vibrations so i am not sure

3:the battery life is a lot nicer on th GS3 so i would switch if i was you not to mention the GS3 has rremovable battery and external SD slot so battery and storage are better...

modding wise the SGS3 is known as a great phone for developers. if you ever want to not use the stock rom, there are many options for roms out and most developers havent had the sgs3's delivered yet! within weeks there should be a fix for just about any problems you encounter with the phone.

switching to the sgs3 would be a good choice as the it is better in about every criteria you mentioned. one problem is though, the super amoled pentile display is darker and a bit more saturated than the HOX unless you like that. hope i helped
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] thepieguy:
Wow, tons of good info! Thanks everybody. I was leaning towards just keeping the One X, as several people have told me even if I switch, the grass is always greener on the other side. But from what people are consistently saying, battery life may be reason enough to switch. I don't like having to curb my phone usage to make it till evening without running on fumes.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] spydc:
I don't agree at all with the statement regarding the SGS3 screen being a bit brighter. I had an EVO 4G LTE (ONE X Clone) and returned it for a SGS3. The first thing i noticed is how much DIMMER the SGS3 screen is compared to the EVO 4G LTE. It is almost unviewable on a sunny day. The SGS3's max brightness is like 75% on the EVO 4G LTE. Also auto brightness is really bad on the phone. It defaults to a setting that is way too dim. I'm still undecided if I should return the phone or not. Unfortunately, i'm not really impressed with either phones. Both have their flaws.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] chrischoi:
I'd say go for it. I was all HTC and then they dropped the ball on quality and overall build. I made the switch to Samsung phones and won't go back.

There's a reason why Samsung's SIII was more anticipated than any HTC phone out there. It wasn't just marketing.

...

I turned up the brightness on both devices. You have to look at the same picture. The S3 is much more vibrant. It's not dimmer at all. With the black backgrounds on the E4GL, it looks flatter. Your decision is biased.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] benzin84:
Since I don't think I saw anyone mention it. I the vibration is not too loud or too strong. You can also customize it with a few patterns. I think I there are like five or six to choose from. Also you can't customize the LED but it is plenty bright.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] teh roxxorz:
On the G S III its pretty prominent and audible. You can also create custom patterns.

There's a pp called light flow, but its currently being re-worked for the G S III, but you can change it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] macdroid01:
WRONG. It is MUCH dimmer.

Turn the screen to white on both in a store and compare. You will be sad.

AMOLED has severe flaws. One is it's just plain dim especially on whites.

Also PenTile sucks. It's not too bad with such a high resolution but it's still noticeable to me even at arms' length.

The S III screen is sh!t even compared to an old Droid. Everything else about it is awesome. Except Wifi dropping which is also a pretty big deal but other than that it's great.

But the screen is important to me. I'm having serious thoughts about keeping my VZ S III. I just ordered it mainly because of the unlimited data going away and S III being "the phone" of 2012. I'm so disappointed on the crap screen.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Success100:
Your crazy dude. I LOVE the screen in the s3. I took my evo lte back. I much prefer the screen on the s3
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] navymac62:
I had the at@t one x for 3 weeks and brought it back for the S III. Reason: swappable battery, sd card and 4.1 upgrade this fall.

Yes, the one x has a better screen for outside, and the format factor is slightly better but the above won me over. Wifi and 4G speeds are the same. Quadrant score is also higher on the siii for some reason.

The ui on the siii really isn't bad considering and I don't regret my decision.

Someone mentioned the Siii having a dimmer screen. That's because the default brightness is lower than the default on the one x. Yes the one x can get brighter (not really viewable at that point) but not for what I saw. Once I made changes to equal the one x they were equal.

This from a guy who has had two HTC android phones previously.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] zaisaroni:
I had one for 3 weeks too, but i was already worrying about space when the drop box promo was killed... I was upset and left without enough storage on my HOX for what I wanted, especially music. Multitasking was pretty poor too, it reloaded most apps most of the time, even swapping between just two normal apps.

Removable storage, battery, and proper multitasking/ram for the future sold me. I wasn't thrilled with the design when the GS3 was launched, it looked bad really. I still prefer the One X's sexy body and screen, but this is much better than I expected. Easily a solid 9 to the HOX's 10.

Accessory selection will be MUCH wider for the GS3 vs the AT&T One X. Higher numbers sold, more carriers carrying it, and matching versions around the world mean big things for cases, docks, etc.

Vibration feels a lot more higher class than the One X which almost felt like something was rattling . The LED light is diffused a lot to make a big light up area as well.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] thepieguy:
Sweet, thanks for the input on the LED and vibration. Things aren't looking so good for my One X. Still hoping to find a working demo S3 to try out before making my decision.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] AttachedSilver:
I had the international One X and T-Mobile One S, I like them both but the deal breaker for me was lack of sd card and the kinda poor battery life. Not to mention the LED notification light was a joke.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] zeesubalpha:
i debated between HOX and GS3 for a while a most people seem to prefer the GS3. i have been very pleased with mine.

i think too big of a deal is made about the screens. the GS3 has a fantastic screen. so what that the HOX is a little better? if you can't enjoy your phone because you have a great screen but not the best screen then you've got problems.

i highly doubt you will be disappointed by the GS3 screen
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wchill:
Right now, when you connect the Galaxy S III to a TV, it'll display the video in whatever orientation the S3 is currently in. For example, when you hold the phone vertically, it shows up as portrait on the TV (with black spaces on either side), and when the phone is held horizontally, the TV displays landscape video.

Since I have a screen that can rotate, I want to make it so that the video that the Galaxy S III displays will always fill the screen. As in, when the S3 is held vertically, the video it displays fills the whole screen without the black spaces (if you were watching it on a TV, it would appear sideways).

Is this possible? I know that on the iPhone there's an app on Cydia called Landscape TV Out, which always outputs the video in landscape (thus filling the screen). That's what I'm looking for.

If an app is possible but it doesn't exist, I'm willing to pay for one to be made.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wchill:
To clarify, I've attached two images that demonstrate what the S3 does by default and what I need it to do.

I've searched through the GT-i9300 and SGH-i747 source code, but I haven't found anything (maybe I'm not looking for the right thing?)

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi good folk!

I have my son's new GN and I want to help him to safely update to ICS OTA and root.

Is it safe and possible to go from unrooted GB, do the OTA update to ICS, then flash n' root the SpeedMod kernel via Odin?

It's wipe and restore with default ICS kernel that's unsafe if I've read right?

Thanks for your help!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tuffcheez:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sujal:
Yup, its wiping in recovery or factory resets which is causing problems. You should be able to safely upgrade to ICS.

Not sure about the kernel. Just read the stickies. I think it would be covered.

One advice: scrap stock ROM all together.. Flash something like Asylum ICS, or some safe custom ICS ROM based on stock ROM because frankly stock ICS sucks like hell.. if you need any help, feel free to PM me! :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kopitalk:
The safest and easiest method would be,

1. Upgrade to ICS via OTA

2. Root with temporary CWM method here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1647148

3. Get Mobile Odin from Google Play (or search in xda)

4. Flash latest speedmod kernel for ICS (k3-5 .tar) via mobile odin

5. Reboot to recovery and do wipe from there if needed

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
I don't advise you to go OTA, as if you read there are many posts are there describing battery issue, FC, unable to go to deep sleep. what are happens is likely due to previous ROM junks (thogh may not happen in all cases, b'coz there state of ROM may be clear at time of OTA update)

What i suggest best thing is to go this way

-Take backup of important data, as you have unrooted GB so you have limited scope for backup, but there is lots of applications then worth to get Root (if your RO is directly rootable) then create backup with titanium or same other application. just backup only user applications only not system junk.

-Wipe cache and data fro recovery (you can get recovery with Vol Up+home+power)

-Download ICS ROM and flash using odin from here.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1424997

Here is installation and rooting guide

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26455511&postcount=2475

-Now you will feel fresh ICS experience. and you can restore your data which you have created earlier.

But if you dont have much application to backup, then escape root, Backup/restore steps i have mentioned. Contacts can be backup with google sync, as well from contact - import/export

and SMS can be backup with SMS backup and restore application

as well there is free appl for unroot ' My bakup" on market is good to backup these stuffs.

GoodLuck!

Edit : Yes wiping is not safe on ICS. but custom kernels are safer compare to stock. you can flash any safe kernel like CF,Franco,speedmod and some more (get it from development section) after finishing root ICS.

Just remember golden rule, avoid deleting big files, wipe and recovery function on ICS. then you are safe.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tuffcheez:
Ahh wow thanks but too late! My son started playing with his phone before I could speak to him last night, and this morning I looked at his phone and saw it had ICS. Either this phone came preinstalled with ics, or I suspect that it updated when he turned on wifi, as auto update was ticked.

So I root, flash speedmod kernel and reboot to recovery to be safe from the bad bug, then install a custom ics rom over the ota stock rom?

One question please. So I'm on stock ics from ota. After flashing speedmod kernel and rebooting to recovery, is it then safe to wipe cache and dalvik after doing this, and before installing a custom ics rom?
