How do I put a custom rom on this phone? I tried using ram manager, but it doesn't have my phone listed.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vx117:
Sigh, please use the search function as this was already posted, but I'll help you anyways... ;)

Usually for this phone, ROM manager might not even support it. The first thing is that you must root the phone before anything can be done. Then after you would install clockworkmod recovery to flash a custom ROM.

Suddenly i really want to have Fisheye lens.

how to use it is using a metal ring attached to the phone.

can someone explain how to use this?

heres the picture

thankyou :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] zhuozhi211:
I have one which I used on my X10, pretty good.

The metal ring has tape/ sticker at the back, which you will stick around the phone's camera. The fisheye lens has a strong magnet, and you attach the fisheye lens to this metal ring around the phone's camera.

The magnet is strong enough that it won't drop in normal operation. Once done, just detach the fisheye lens from the metal ring around the phone's camera.

I haven't tried on SXS though... cos the camera is very near the top edge, so the metal ring will not fit nicely/ centrally to the camera. Suggest to stick it to a case (if you use one), which may help the positioning.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] SkaterOllie795:
Alternatively you could buy a peephole from a door and stick it to your phone just over the camera. They make great fish eye lenses. This is a great cheap way and is much cheaper than buying an actual fish eye lens.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] sudermatt:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] freaksavior:
Li-ion

The battery is lithium Ion so you really shouldn't have to from my understanding.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] jgalan14:
People do even tho is not necessary, for some reason I don't but after a few day battery has gotten better
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] BonesHopkins:
I mentioned this earlier -- I know it's a li ion that shouldn't need conditioning but when I first got mine my battery life was absolutely horrible. I went through two full discharge/recharge cycles and it seems to be much better now.

Currently 11 hours on battery, 50 minutes screen on, played a couple of games, downloaded a couple of apps, 15 minutes of voice calls, and battery is at 80%.

The way it was when I first got it, I'd probably be at 40 or 50% right now, if not even lower.

I'm also running juice defender and have stopped using the gmail app because you can't set the sync interval on it. Instead I've been using the built in email app and have it set to sync every 30 minutes. Not sure if any of this is doing anything but my battery life is definitely better than when I first got the phone. At first it was so bad that I came very close to just returning the phone.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] freaksavior:
That's true for me as well now that you mentioned it. First day, I got about 4 1/2 hours with it before i was down to 10%. I was shocked! Each day it has gotten a little better. Over the last 36 hours it has last a full days before a charge. It doesn't really make much sense to me that they are li-ion which shouldn't need conditioned but it seems that we do need to do this. A friend suggested I condition it when I got it and before I started heavily using it, I guess he was right.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] mlin:
Li-ion batteries don't need conditioned. Any signs of conditioning you see may be some sort of conditioning/learning of the OS.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] codo27:
See this kinda stuff freaks me out. I had one decent charge so far, had the phone a week, have been doing full discharge/charge the whole time. Sitting at 38% right now on 16 hours, about half of that was asleep with power save on (its been dropping 20-30% overnight) and only 48 minutes screen time. I dunno how long it should take to improve but it seems like its not taking this long for anyone else.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] ickster:
What they said.

This is a very informative site. I've quoted it's recommendations concerning the circuit in the battery that needs calibration before......

here's the link to that page there.....

http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/battery_calibration
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] BonesHopkins:
How long do you usually sleep for???

Seriously though, 20 - 30% overnight sounds like a lot. I tested mine and it dropped about 8% in roughly 7 hours of zero use while I was sleeping. I think even that is a little excessive but I can live with it.

Have you tried running something like Juice Defender? It seems to have made a difference with mine. When I got my S3 last week it was about the same as yours. I did a couple of complete discharge/charge cycles, installed juice defender, and have been going into the task manager and app manager and turning off all the crap that doesn't turn off automatically. It has made a difference.

Oh, and I also did the APN trick to disable LTE. Not sure if that has made any difference but with everything combined the battery seems to be doing a lot better than it was at first.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] ickster:
Don't "they" say that you should not use task managers as they don't work well with the phones? I'm no expert here, so don't quote me, but my understanding is that the One S and Siii owe a lot of their excellent battery lives to their own internal task managing.

Correct me if I'm wrong here.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] demarcmj:
The internal task managing is the reason you shouldn't use 3rd part task managers. That's the whole point. Android has done this since 2.0

Having said that, there's nothing inherently wrong with killing a task that is misbehaving... most things that say not to use task managers really mean to not (a) turn on auto task-killing, or (b) kill tasks across the board, albeit manually, under the false impression that freeing up RAM is a good thing.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] MCKang25:
When you guys say full discharge do you mean draining the battery till it shuts off or going down to 10%, I was under the impression that fully discharging would harm the battery.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] BonesHopkins:
I discharged it till zero. Then I turned the phone on and let it shut off again. I did this until the phone wouldn't even try to turn on any more.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] jcbofkc:
Doing this enough times has the potential to damage your battery. Leaving it at 2% - 5% will not make a difference in the "calibration" compared to completely killing the battery.

Killing the battery may work for you, but I want others to be aware of the potential of damaging the battery.

Just my 2cents for the day. :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Jaytronics:
Here. Is a link to battery charging for Li-ion. I have another site that is great in explaining these things. I have a couple of R/C trucks and this info is great to know and have. The same applies. To our phones charge rates. I would hope that when a dev makes up or mods a kernel that they have a basic knowledge of charge rates and the rest of the equations. Foe our batteries this is literally. Life and death. It could also cause a phone to burst into flames. Especially. If we use after market batteries that have poor protection circuitry in them.

I will find the other link later and post it up here to give a possible better understanding of these things. But, try not to rely on me as I tend to forget things a lot. Car accidents will do that to you when you crush your skull. Any way, GIYF.

http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/charging_lithium_ion_batteries
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] ickster:
You basically only need to do the "calibration" once. And the phone has limits set that will neither undercharge nor overcharge them.

edit I think heat is your batteries worst enemy.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] erikk:
This is the WORST thing you can do to a Li-Ion battery. I mean literally you can lose 10% of its life from doing this or even cause the battery to stop charging at all.

http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/charging_lithium_ion_batteries

Seriously everyone should spend a couple hours on that site at some point. Half the information will probably be way over your head (or at least it was mine) but there's enough good information that even half of it is definitely worth learning.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Jaytronics:
Here is the other site that I was talking about. Though it is for R/C battery packs it should still grant a measure of understanding to the workings of these batteries.

http://www.rchelicopterfun.com/rc-lipo-batteries.html
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Jaytronics:
Take into account though. These batteries have circuitry. Built into them to prevent you from truly discharging. It all the way. That doesn't mean that it can not discharge all the way. Things like humidity can play its roll in taking a Li-ion or Lipo battery past the kill zone point. If you know that you will not be using the battery for a good period of time or it is strictly an in case of an emergency battery. Place it into a plastic bag and suck out all of the air that you can and seal it. A zip lock bag works best. Place it in the refrigerator or freezer. There is very little moisture. In there. And what ever moisture makes its way in when you open the fridge. Or freezer will not have time to get into the zip lock bag. The lack of moisture slows the discharge process down especially in the summer. Also the chilling of the battery's chemical. Compounds slows the molecular interactions down. Its a helpful two fold process.

Today when i plugged in my LG O3D the update checker prompted me that there's an update available. As long as I have the WaterBear ROM at 2.3.6 and I don't want to lost everything - in a matter of speaking, because I backup but I don't want to have to install all the apps I was wondering if I could know what version of software is available and if it worth installing it. Cause I don't see any use upgrading from 2.3.6 to 2.3.7.

It's working flawlessly to me during the day, for example: when i am in a room and i will enter the garden, or a brighter room.. works awesome ;)

But the level of brightness is not good during the absolute dark, i just don't like the dim, because it's loosing lot's of contrast, so i am just sliding i little bit to make it brighter.

As i said, absolutely no problem during the day, sunrise, sunset... but the dim is not good for my eyes.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] tragicallyhip:
From working for Sprint and from personal experience, I've found that a Class 10 is better for taking pictures with the camera and for file transfers, but with your phone (especially this model), it would appear the most efficient way to manage your data would be to store media (music, videos, backups obviously) on the external sd, and to allowed internal storage to be used for taking pictures. If you do this, Class 6 is perfectly sufficient for media playback.

And if you're worried about your pictures being lost in the event of a phone catastrophe, Google+ or Dropbox or anothr of the auto-backup services you can use for free are perfect!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] || Acer ||:
