[General Questions and Answers] Scary Guy:
So I've got pretty much every old phone I've ever owned and they've all used SIM cards ever since I was on Cingular. I was thinking it would be neat if I could read some old numbers or just see what other data they have on them. Bought a multi-format card reader and the operating systems (Ubuntu and Windows 7) seem to detect it just fine. However I can't actually seem to be able to read any of the cards. It doesn't help that it came with no software or instructions.

I don't care what I have to do to get it to work, I just have no idea how and was hoping someone with more experience can point me (and hopefully other lost people) in the right direction.
[General Questions and Answers] Scary Guy:
Bump, anybody, please?

I searched the forum and all I can find are issues with getting specific phones to read them. Google was no help either just giving me links to webstores and wiki with no real information. Plz halp 4 I R A N00B!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burninghotcheese:
I've tried searching the forums for this, but all the threads conflict with each other, so I couldn't find a straight answer, so I'm asking it here: will Voodoo Sound be developed for the US version of the Samsung SGS3? or, does the US SGS3 have a Wolfson DAC? Same question, basically. The reason I ask is because I have an Infuse right now, and I love it, but the hardware is a little outdated now, and I'm looking to upgrade to something newer, and the SGS3 seems perfect, but again, I'm not sure if it's gonna get Voodoo Sound. My phone is my music player, so that's very important to me. If it doesn't have the Wolfson DAC, I'm just going to stick with my Infuse and wait a little while longer, but if it does, then I'm definitely going to have to switch. Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
This is the forum for the i9300 / i9300T not the US-variant.

And the answer to your question is: NO.

The US-Version has a Audience eS305 audio processor while Voodoo Sound has been developed for Wolfson chips exclusively.

Btw: It wouldn't have been hard to find the answer if you'd first looked up why Voodoo only works on the S1/S3 (Wolfson chip) and then whether the US version has it (=no).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tylermaciaszek:
So I'm sure we are all going to be wondering about this.

CyanogenMod made the announcement today that if they will begin working on CM10 as soon as they get official source for it. If your device has a CM9 then it will be getting CM10. Good news for us since we have CM9.

Team Kang announced that they will be releasing M6 this weekend after that they will not be working on ICS releases anymore and will take a short break then begin with JB.

Rollout of these ROMS should be quick because they don't have to restart they just have to merge stuff into the ICS builds.

Just giving you all a heads up.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] litetaker:
Long time since I posted in TFP forums... This might just make me unlock my TFP... So far some of the horror stories made me worried about unlocking and I was reasonably content with Stock. But I must say that it is kinda buggy and Project butter on a Tegra 3 is blowing my mind... :silly:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tylermaciaszek:
We may still be a month or more off until we see something though!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tylermaciaszek:
That combination is mind blowing i ageee
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shreddintyres:
Just a correction regarding AOKP, the post Roman made on G+ indicates that they are going to start fresh on JB as they suspect there will be issues merging changes into existing ICS base. That said the turn around should be a fair bit quicker with JB as most customizations should still work.

:laugh: Can't wait for JB.

litetaker, I unlocked and rooted and flash my TFP not to long ago. I just followed the instructions on the development forum. It was pretty straightforward.

Go for it and unlock!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Vaanhoot:
I just unlocked mine a few days ago, and it was pretty straight forward to unlock. However, I can't install any roms. I try to install a rom and CWM says "Can't mount sdcard." Even a factory reset fails and I don't know what to do. I am stuck on Asus .28 firmware atm and I want to install the Wook ROM.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] beekay201:
Read before you flash stuff. Its written in red letters, in all recovery threads, that external sdcard is not available.

Put rom zip in internal sdcard (flash memory on your device)

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] litetaker:
I am sure things will be smooth with unlocking ... but I am just being careful as of now as I don't need it anyway. I'll wait till Team Kang or CyanogenMOD team release JB... If Asus is gonna release an update in the same timeframe then I'll try and stay stock. But otherwise, forget the damn warranty and hello jellybean!!! :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MTDroidFan:
New to the forums. Just bought my tf201 off ebay and it was already unlocked. Installed the WookROM and so far so good. This has CWM but the wookrom said i needed twrp. After reading up i decided to stick with CWM. Still a noob, but whats the difference?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] CadenH:
Just be cautious. Unlike our X2, this can really be bricked lol. Its super simple really. Aokp has been amazing, and I look forward to a jb version of it

Truthfully they accomplish the same thing. You shouldn't run into any issues, but hopefully someone who knows recoveries better gives you a more definite answer.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] CharliesTheMan:
The reason that we run TWRP instead of clockwork is that there's a bad version of clockwork mod touch that causes "Brick 1a" in the sticky that's labeled something like How To Unbrick Your Prime. The most similar version of the regular clockwork mod may also have this problem but most of the one's I've fixed remotely for people were using clockwork mod touch.

Although it's labeled brick 1a, in my opinion it's not a brick. But since you can't boot to the rom people freak out. What happens is when you boot to recovery and then try to reboot system, the device reboots to recovery again. No matter what you do from the on the device just loops from Asus Eee Pad screen to recovery.

Fixing it just requires running a command in ADB on your computer. Newer repackaged versions of clockwork have been done by some really nice guys here on XDA which are supposed to have that bug in the software fixed. Because this was such a prevalent issue a lot of developers write their stuff to work great with TWRP because it hasn't ever had this problem.

It's one of those weird things where some people have clockwork installed and don't have problems and others have lots of problems with what seems like the very same software combination. I actually bought my prime really cheap because the owner was running clockwork mod and had the brick 1a happen and he couldn't fix it. Once I received it, in an hour or two I had gotten a good ADB connection and ran the command and was good to go. I thought maybe it was a fluke and tried to continue with clockwork mod and had the same thing happen again, so finally I switched over to TWRP recovery and it was a great decision, I haven't looked back since.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MTDroidFan:
Thanks for the advice. I'm still new to rooting and what not. My thunderbolt and Nexus were rooted and have been enjoying learning. Finally found a decent deal on a prime so i jumped on it. This WookRom is good, but buggy at times. Thinking of going with twrp and then a different rom. Any suggestions?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vincepg13:
What kernel are you using? Wooks Rom for me was only ever slightly unstable when using custom kernel. I have since reverted to stock with the EZ overclock app to put performance mode into 1.6ghz and its amazing. I'd suggest you do this. If you are on stock and finding it unstable then I dunno :(

But yes use twrp

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MTDroidFan:
The kernal is (2.6.39.4-cardhu-motley...) As you know the AndroWook ROM lets you pick different settings and it puts the correct rom for what you want. Thanks for the help, I'm going to look around and flash something new. I just need many tablet to be stable. I travel a lot so i want something that is fun to play with and functional.

See, now I'm so torn... do I get a GNex and the immediately available JB, or do I wait for an AOKP ROM for the Galaxy S III? Urgh!

So today I ran a few speed tests and my d/l speeds on LTE are horrible. They've been running about 4 Mbps, but my u/p speeds are amazing coming in at 25 Mbps. Is this the calling card of AT&T throttling me, even though I've only used 3 GB this month and received no warning?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kingdamian42:
I don't think so. If you were throttled you'd be notified and also it slows you down by roughly 90% from what I heard. Someone correct me if that's a gross exaggeration
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kilo89:
Which ROM are you using? It could have something to do with your APN...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] vioalas:
On LTE throttling happens after 5gb, so doubt it. And you get notified.

If you get throttle your speed will be really slow like almost 56k slow.

And on LTE it's 5 gb...how about on 3g? still 5?

I thought the whole ceiling wasn't a blanket 5 GB, but based on your market.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Enigma_cpl03:
This is true I live in queens NY and get throttled at 3gb of data usage. And also ATT has failed to notify me of this for the past 2 months.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Enigma_cpl03:
See my problem is until we get kernel source I have to stream all my music and movies and that alone is what kills my data.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mikelebz:
Why need source?

If you are on any ROM other than AOKP you can use your phone as a usb mass storage and just transfer your files to the phone's SD

If you are on AOKP and windows you can do the same thing. If not on windows, mount USB storage in recovery and transfer files over.

None of this will change with source.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Enigma_cpl03:
I'm not talking about transferring files to my phone I want to avoid that since the storage is very limited. What I am wanting with Kernel is the ability to use USB host and just being able to stream and play files from my flash drive or external HDD without having to transfer anything.

Mail for exchange using your company email doesn't work in native Email client works in gmail app.

Phone signal is very dodgy and both my phones had severe call dropping issues, no its not my network!

Confirmed by Samsung they have any other issues with it too eg mails not syncing on corporate acs using google apps, huge bug with cell reception

Samsung told me that the phone was tested in Korea and not anywhere else they didnt see these issues cos in Korea they didn't test the email bug for providers abroad.- duh, stupid excuse!

Dont buy if using for work emails it's the worst phone for it and ofcourse for the signal and battery issues rapid discharge lasted only for 6 hours MAX

I had 2 and sold them both cos I got so frustrated trying to set it up.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Simonetti2011:
My corporate exchange account works perfectly in the S III`s mail (not GMail) client.

There is, however, one feature that is missing from the S2, which is the ability to sync the Notes from my Exchange account. With the S2 I`d write notes in Outlook and then they`d automagically appear in the S2. With the S3 the S-Memo apps replaces Notes and it`s quite useless in that sense.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disclaimernotice:
Can't say anything about emails as I only sync mail on my tablet. But you're wrong about receptionband battery life. Reception is just as good as the S and S2 for me with no dropped calls so far. As for battery life, I can get over 5 hours of screen time with a total up time of 20 hours with regular use consisting of browsing and gaming.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garyd9:
Perhaps not in your firmware or your particular configuration.

In the LF6 (or was it LF2?) it works fine sync'ing to an Exchange 2010 Server via activesync (exchange push.) At least it works fine for me with my configuration.

Can´t say much about that as my work uses google mail (and that works perfect)

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajivd:
On my SIII ( Canada, Telus ), exchange email client crashes occasionally. I have lot of rules ( client side ) that move email to folders depending on sender, subject etc. I originally thought that crash may be due to email getting moved to another folder by outlook while SIII's client was still trying to grab it or something... However it will also crash when I am not using my laptop and therefore have no other client reading my exchange email.

Not sure if symptoms you see are similar or something different.

Biggest bug I've seen is insects flying at the S3's screen mistaking it for a truck window.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tectas:
Maybe you mixed something up or i don't understand something correct, exchange is microsoft exchange and works flawless (at least for me), gmail is another thing which got nothing to do with exchange.

For gmail you got your own dedicated app, no need for integration within the Samsung email app and if you still want to use it there, make sure to use imap and not exchange, because this is only to synchronize to Microsoft exchange servers.

Last but not least, no call problems or signal drops from my side and I'm getting juice for a full day with moderat to heavy use, also it's a bit heavy to title it as serious bug in all s3 only because you and some others can't get it to work.

Edit: just checked it and added my gmail account as common mail account (to get the mails at the Samsung app) works flawless even no need to set a server myself, i would recommend you to read properly and check the matter before moaning something does not work at all devices.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cqdandanxda:
I had my S3 2wks.Because of the signal issue got rid of it. Can't believe it, a signal problem would happen nowadays from Samsung and their top phone. A lot of people don't realise this yet because they have not compare it with many other phone and it is not bothering them. For example, other phone receive H signal but S3 can only just pick up a good 3g or g signal. The worst bit is that the signal bar is so unstable up/down all the time. S2 and Galaxy note no problem, Htc one X so much better,at places it can pick up signal that the S3 can't.

If u people use google search Samsung signal problem or signal issue then u will know what the problem is.

Sry, but i'm using 3 phones side by side (the s3 [main phone], a one s [work phone] and a desire s [development phone]) and all 3 got almost the same reception (when i check the dbm not the signal bars) (but i need to note here that I'm at the provider with the best phone coverage in my country and i live in a big city).

Ok, i searched a bit and sry there is active sync support for gmail, i guess the only thing the op (and also you i guess) are missing is to set the domain to ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM, i tried it myself and it works without problems.

Is there a good homescreen clock that would match the locksreen one?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Oliie23:
AOKP (and I think other roms as well) allows to use the lockscreen clock as a regular widget on your homescreen.

Other than that you could try Beautiful Widgets and find an ICS skin for the clock (there are plenty in their gallery).
