Aosp source is not source for our phone, it will not contain the drivers, etc necessary to run on our device... look at ics, aosp source has been available for ages but we need source from Samsung for our specific device to have super stable fully functional ics roms
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
Once we get ICS kernel source. Then the JB source drop will mean a little bit more. Mainly because maybe, just maybe the talented devs can patch up a source built ICS kernel enough to run JB on this phone without a **** ton of issues. If this happens then we can expect to see CM10 and the new AOKP once they drop and maybe some other goodies. What everyone needs to be hoping for though is ICS Kernel source and that the devs can patch that ***** enough to run JB. And please if any of the AOSP Devs see this as disinformation please correct me. I don't want to me giving out false info.

But even with all that said. It is still pretty exciting to see JB source drop. Hell I get happy anytime Google announces or releases a new build. :D

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
We have had the source to ICS since last year :p The source to an operating system does not allow it to run on anything other than its development device without further drivers and in the case of Android plenty of tweaking to kernel and other code. The AOSP source is just a base for manufacturers/developers to work with or if you have a Nexus device its often an easy base for rom development.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jpkelly05:
Either way it goes, looks like Netflix is already updated for JB. I wonder if that means all the other good Apps will optimize for non-flash support. I don't really care if we get it or not, since I am banking on changing phones early next year. If I don't get it, ok... but if we do, I would really be grateful.

Already on Chrome I have noticed a few news web sites that don't display correctly due to no Flash support. I hope in time Flash dies.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TheChosenGuy:
OP, it's AOSP not ASOP.

AOSP = Android Open Source Project

ASOP = Android Source Open Project???

But yes, good news indeed.

Its because JB is more or less an add-on-so to speak, as opposed to ICS which is a complete overhaul
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
Actually JB is a lot more then you may think. And ICS source has been out since Google released ICS.

What I think confuses a lot of people is that there are two source files that we need. The ones from Google and the ones from Samsung. We have had ICS source from Google for about a year now to the date. Its the ICS source from Samsung that we have been needing. And we got today.

As for JB source. Google has released it. But that just means that we can build JB. We still need to work on a kernel to make it boot.

I will buy the wireless charger like many of you. I already use one with my Touchpad but I have to use the docking station.

Now I read that the wireless charger for our phone will be able to charge it from a 2 meters distance !

Anyone has more technical infos about this?

[Nexus S General] rayrayw:
Hey guys, I'm about to buy a 2nd hand Nexus S from some guy on a local forum and we're going to do the exchange in person. What should I check on the phone before I give him the $$? Any common glitches common to this phone?

For example, I was using the Nexus One before this one, and I know the multitouch screen is wonky for some of the AMOLED models for that one, and the trackball gets dirt in it. Anything like that for the NS? Thanks guys!
[Nexus S General] afzalarsalan:
I would say one of the most important things would to make sure the volume rocker and the power button feel solid. This is the most heard of problem in the nexus s forums. We haven't really experienced problems like burn in but you can check for that by running a full screen app like a game at max brightness.
[Nexus S General] rayrayw:
Good point, the volume rocker on my N1 was starting to act up with age too.
[Nexus S General] lifeofbean:
Speak for yourself on that one. The buttons at the bottom got burned into mine from having the display stay on while charging. :(
[Nexus S General] daniturn3:
burn on screen dont matter if u can see buttons at bottom for search back home ect as there used alot and are off the main screen and volume and power buttons even tho mine are still like new after 2 years if they have gone than there may be more problems elsewhere always play music and volume brightest to see if anything wrong with screen and sound i would play a game
[Nexus S General] IINexusII:
Make sure the signal works. That would be a sign of a stolen phone. Apart from that its the usual of checking scratches, any big dents, making sure the buttons are working ok
[Nexus S General] Jayrod1980:
My screen is still as nice as when I bought it, but the entire thing is covered in ghost armor. Hate the glossy fat bezel and though. Even cased it shows tiny less shiny scuffs on it though its never been dropped or in anything but silicone and tpu. 99% of people wouldn't even be able to see it, but I'm anal. I went through 8 phones to find a good screen and no glass crease. Foolish when I ended up getting a galaxy nexus just 13 months after paying full price for it from best buy. Buttons all work too after 4+ hours a day of use.
[Nexus S General] meWho:
Make sure to check for touch sensitivity across the middle and bottom of the screen. I bought a second hand nexus s and didn't recognize the problem until it was too late.

The middle of the screen on my nexus s pretty much doesn't work sometime and starts working after I turn the screen off then on again.

Hope this helps.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Kered42:
Hi all, I'm new to the forums and to android. I've done some searching and haven't been able to find a solution to my problem, at least in the case of the S3.

I've had my phone just over a week and hadn't noticed any issues until today I realized that landscape mode wasn't working in the web browser. It doesnt seem to want to flip to landscape in other instances I would expect it to either such as in SMS or memo pad. I've tried the gyroscope calibration, tuning auto-rotate on/off, even did a factory reset to see if that would work.

The shortcut to use the camera by tilting to landscape in the lock screen still works so I'm trying to rule out the possibility of a complete hardware malfunction.

I found a post here talking about a similar problem solved by deleting a system file and using a couple shell commands but it's about another galaxy and I can't find the target calibration files in the S3 so I think it's a safe bet that they're different. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=816131&page=2

Anyway I guess my question is does anyone know what the problem might be and if theres a way to fix it? If there is a way to calibrate the sensors using a terminal or something like what was described in that thread I wouldn't mind giving that a shot, but if there is a simpler solution then that would be great too.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] mb27:
There seems to only be 7 steps for volume on the S3. I've found that the lowest setting for notifications is still quite loud in a quiet setting. Is there anyway I can make it quieter without resorting to using quieter notification sounds?

I'm coming from a Droid 3 and the lowest setting was perfect, it was just loud enough for me to hear at my desk without it bothering others.

Now I have to keep my S3 on vibrate at work, and it's annoying for me because I never seem to hear/feel the vibration.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] drawde40599:
Try volume + ,from playstore I've never used it to make the volume quieter but I think you can
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] mb27:
Do you mean Volume Control + by Coffeebreak Apps? (sorry can't post links yet) I tried that but it has the same limitations as the stock settings, just 7 predefined steps.

Or do you mean Volume+ (Volume Boost) by Meltus? I don't see how that app would help but I guess I'll try it.

Thanks.

Update: I installed Volume+ from androidaudiohacks dot com. I changed the levels to the lowest setting on everything and it made no difference to the notification volume :-\
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] natefish:
I know I've seen one at least that does smaller steps, but I can't remember what it is called. I saw it when I search "volume widget"
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] mb27:
I've tried a couple dozen different apps but they all seem to be tied directly to the same system settings that can't make it any quieter. If you happen to know of a specific one that might I would love to hear it :) (if you have the time that is, I'm not trying to inconvenience you)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Shckr57:
There is a setting in build.prop. you can set it up to 20. Can't remember its name tho
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] drawde40599:
Ya volume + wasn't sure if would work ... I.just tried lowest setting like u have and I.can't even hear it, u have some serious good hearing; )
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] mb27:
Hmm really? It lowered the volume of your notification sounds? My hearing is average, it's just that it didn't actually lower the sound for me. Perhaps I did something wrong? I'll try again later tonight and see if that is the case.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] BBOOZE:
I'm also looking for a quieter volume setting. I'm surprised how loud the ringtone and notifications are at the quietest setting.

I suppose rooting and getting a custom rom might be the way to achieve this but having already bricked one S3 I'm a bit wary about diving right back into the pool! But if someone happens to find a ROM that gives more volume control let me know!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] vipergtsr6:
Volume Rocker?

Are you turning the notification volume down with the volume rocker? I just realized that the notification volume does not match the ringer volume as you adjust it with the volume rocker. On my Evo 4G I could check a box that made them adjust up and down at the same time. On the GS3 I have to press the volume rocker then press the settings button that is visible in the ringer volume pop up. From there I can adjust the notification volume independantly.

It does however mute the notifications when the ringer is set to vibrate or mute.

Can someone build that into a ROM? Where the notification and ringer volume go up and down together?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] mb27:
No I use a widget (Widgetsoid) that lets me change the two independently. If I wanted to I could check the box at the top (see attached screenshot) and then the volume rocker would adjust both at once.

I never had any luck getting Volume+ to alter the volume of my notifications.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] themusicmonkey:
Are you mistaking the notification level for system level? System sounds kill my ears, and I actually have to adjust it through Settings > Sound > Volume. Looks like Widgetsoid might be an easier method, instead of going through settings every time. Also, I set a schedule in the Timeriffic app, so that it's ever too loud for me anymore.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] mb27:
Well, I thought I made some progress on this.

As you can see from the attachment, I did get there to be more steps. I had to make some adjustments to framework.jar to get it to change.

BUT, it doesn't do much good.

For the ringer volume steps 9-17 are silent. 8 is the loudest. 18 is the quietest..

For the notification volume, step 1 is still just as loud as before, and steps 8-15 are silent, so that was completely pointless. I'll edit the framework to have ringer and notifications be 30 to see if that does anything. It's really a crapshoot of what I'm editing, there are no descriptions just hex characters.

But no data connection, this is why i flashed via fastboot the radio.img from the xt883 .. but nothing happened.. this problem is still there..

i have the .906 firmware (the pre-owner installed it) ..

is there something i can do or not.. please let me know :)

the default build.prop

(installed 0.890 but some files from .906 could not be replaced, unfortunately)

changed nothing.. which build.prop should i use?

If you flash the 883 radio you need the one from the TMobile/AT&T thread.

Also is your APN set up?

Tank you very much, i thought that the build.prop is not important and will be copied automatically.

Google Framework will solve your problem.

It's because your phone do not have google service framework which i guess Sygic 11.2.6 rely on it to acquire GPS signal. Latest Sygic version 12.x.x seems to fix this bug of crashing if no google framework available.

The easiest way to test whether ur phone has google framework is: Launch google maps, then trying to go to it's setting menu, maps will crash. Another way is that if you installed Google Play, it will never work without google framework.

The fix is to install google framework and if you are on 4.0.4, search/download

gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip

on internet and follow guides to flash it onto your phone, then you will be fine. It's quite easy and no risk at all.

You don't need to root your phone to install the framework.
