[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] razorseal:
yes, I thought this was the case too. like let's say they take the camera out of it, so when they get a phone with a broken camera, they swap it out. or maybe the capacitor. or an internal speaker.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] stopeject:
I work for VZ landline, and our discounts are so bad that it is cheaper for me to keep Sprint service.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] shareride:
First of all, thanks a lot for sharing this info, i really feel a lot better now than last night when i flashed a custom ROM and saw counter increased to 2. Just back from apple (jail breaking) world and started exploring rooting / custom ROMs etc.

The warranty that you are talking in OP, is that the standard 1 year warranty? or do i need to purchase extra warranty from AT&T?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Red7521:
I think it just also really depends on who you run into and how you give that first impression. My experience is just recent with the warranty center. I flashed and upgraded my skyrocket to ICS and didn't have the stock rom to revert back and ICS was really buggy for my skyrocket. I brought it over to them and said basically it was acting up and that I got my friend to try and do a diy job on it and they laughed and flashed it back to stock for me. What made me nervous was CWM launched and I thought right there was when my phone was gonna be given back lol.

Note I'm not sure if this counts or not but once you verify your account and stuff make sure your IMEI matches your phone lines account or has been on your account before. They for me went in and verified the IMEIs matched and that I did in fact buy it less than a year ago.
[Motorola Photon 4G] tweak89:
Switched to Sprint from T-Mo about 3 months ago. We switched when Amazon was having a 1 cent sale on all phones for new customers.

My first choice what the Photon, but I was swayed by the Super Amoled screen of the GSII Epic. I swore off Samsung phones after having the horrid Vibrant (with the never working GPS). I figured they must have learned from their mistakes...but nope. :(

Anyway, after 3 Epics (GPS, bad USB port and signal issues) I got tired of it and went and bought the phone I should have gotten in the first place, the Photon! :good: Wow!! I'm kicking myself for not getting this phone from the beginning. It just works.

Anyway, the only thing that bugs me is I still can't figure out how the signal strength bars work (with the dual colors). I've searched this forum as well as others and I'm still :confused: I think I understand the color coding, but not the bars themselves. The manual is no help as it doesn't explain the colors or bars.

I have six bars showing at all times. I assume that, unlike my previous phones, that the six signal bars will always show? At home one of the bars is always blue. In this example what does it mean?? I haven't had any calling issues and my data is plenty fast (4g) average 4.5 down.

Thanks!
[Motorola Photon 4G] d_man17:
The bars light up blue when you are connected to your Google account and are grey when you're not.
[Motorola Photon 4G] tweak89:
That I pretty much understand from reading other forum posts. Still wondering if I will I always see all the signal bars and how that corelates to my cell signal strength.
[Motorola Photon 4G] MikeyLee:
Thats weird cause I have an Epic, Epic Touch and a GSIII and have no issues with any of them. In fact my Epic 4g has better GPS lock than my photon, both running CM9
[Motorola Photon 4G] CCallahan:
I could be wrong but from what I can tell you have 6 bars and will vary depending on your signal strength. Only time you won't see any bars is if cell signal is turned off (such as airplane mode). Even if there is no signal you should still get a no signal indication (at least I do).

Also, I was under the impression they turn a different color when using data, such as syncing with services.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ScottieRotten:
Settings > about phone > status > signal strength...

There are a few apps and widgets on the market that will put this information on a workspace for easier viewing.
[Motorola Photon 4G] tweak89:
Scottie,

I'm really just wondering if the bars reflect the cell signal strength at all. I know where to find it in the settings.

Sure would have been nice if they spelled it out in the manual! I mean, here at work I have 6 blue bars and get slower download speeds compared to my one blue bar at home. I guess it shouldn't bug me as long as it's working.

MikeyLee,

I had nothing but problems from the get go. Weak GPS on all three phones, the 2nd one also had the USB port fail (didn't know when it was unplugged). I went through 5 Vibrants when I was with T-Mo when they finally offered me a different phone. Sprint flat out said they would just keep replacing my phone with the same model so I just bought my Photon outright.

My wife had issues with her GSII. She kept dropping into roaming. Hers was replaced once and no problems since then. Her GPS works great, so go figure.
[Motorola Photon 4G] FC809:
Blue bars is background data. Turn it off, and the bars are gray.
[Motorola Photon 4G] piaa_nissan:
My bars fluctuate depending on the signal as do all three Photons in my house. If yours are always 6 bars you must be living near a tower :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] Android 17:
Know that the stock base kind of 'lies' to you, Sprint always shows more bars than you may actually have, most carriers seem to do this.

Download a signal app or flash CM7 or CM9 and you'll see the true strength of your signal.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oilerseberle14:
Okay so my cell provider is starting to charge like 20 bucks just for caller id and voicemail, so i told tthem to take it off...is there some kind of app that could or can replace this? I need it to both tell me whos calling and make it so when i phone people they can see my number instead of private number... btw I live in Canada so google voice wouldn't really work please someone help...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oilerseberle14:
Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rsjc741:
The only thing I could think of would be Youmail for voicemail.

As for callerID, do a Google search and a quick market check.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] majatt:
I know master is 6gb per the docs but is there a command to determine a branch size before downloading it?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cdesai:
Nope, but syncing fetches all the branches, so you can better do a repo mirror locally and then sync different branches off it.

I plan on doing a tutorial on that in my free time.

HI FOLKS, i've been diving all over the forum/thread/post but i didn't find any solution according to my question ONLY one i need to ask.

HOW can i change the background to transparent, e.g MINICM rom.

i have change the background with another picture, but i feel tired with the background itself. and i want to change them to transparent. so it can show the wallpaper.

i have done with editing the *.xml file, looking what need to be change but the result is not satisfied me. it overlay when i open the submenu. so it makes me confuse.

e.g when i open the setting > cyangogenmod setting

it overlay the whole text in settings

so, anyone can teach me how to make the background to be transparent.

** I WON'T USING THEME OR WHATEVER, I WANT BUILD IN TRANSPARENT **

Look into the apn settings for your carrier. A quite k google of it should give you what you need. Some people seem to lose their apn when flashing ics roms. Issue is usually not with rom. Look in mobile data settings for apn names. You may have to manually create it.

Hi,

Fairly new to android scene. I recently rooted and unlocked the bootloader. I'm now trying to get CWM ... but I can no longer get to the bootloader so I can enter fastboot mode. I hold down the power and the down vol key but nothing happens, after a while it just restarts the phone.

Edit: I got into bootloader by holding down vol down and power for about 5 seconds then let go of the power button and then tap the power button a few times.
[HTC One X] VertigoOneX:
Did you disable fastboot? If not it's under settings -> power.

Then try again, hold both buttons down until it appears.

I disabled fastboot. Sorry forgot to mention that in the first post. Right now I'm trying to set up ADB and see if I can do it from there, but I'm having problems doing that too.

Looking into an extended battery for my 3d and wanted to get some suggestions on a battery/door replacement and a protective case. I have a otterbox defender (?) and the plastic snaps are starting to come apart, and it failed to protect my phone form a fall off a counter top on NYE :\ so I'm happy to find a replacement. I saw there's a 4000mah battery from Seidio, but I'm still looking for a case that'll fit it.

What do you guys use?

There's an accessories subforum for this question. And I'm almost positive there are multiple threads that have already talked about this.
[HTC EVO 3D] sic_inside:
Yeah there was a huge discussion in the accessories section about this. But to answer your question, with my personal opinion, extended batteries are not the way to go. They are make your phone weigh more and make it look odd. Not to mention in some circumstances they will produce a lot more heat which is never a good thing. I use an Anker 1900. It is the same size as stock and I get about 2-3 days with moderate to heavy use.

I look forward to hearing an answer, on this, as well. Some forums for other ROMs have talked about tweaking build.prop and other files and getting it to work, but so far, none of those tweaks have worked for me yet.

Regarding music player, I just got used to using Google Music on GN, but with GS3, I have come to like Sammy Music Player

I love the Music Square, once I figured the music needed to be on the phone, and I needed to reload the music.

BUt I like to use genres when making playlists. I don't see them. are they there , is there a way to do it

I know there are tons of music players out there. But this gets lots of great reviews, the equalizer works etc

Is there one that MOST people agree is in the top 1 0r 2 Or is this one now one of those

Wow do I feel like a fool

Ill try 2 for 2....for song search, is the only option to drag the slider thru the alphabet?

As far as tagging I see it does that. But album art, how do I get that

I know the other players get it...but

1. Do they keep it? Something I read led me to believe it was just temporary

I am speaking of PowerAmp and PlayerPro. Maybe even WinAmp

All I want is:

Ability to set playlists with genres

Ability to get tags PLUS album art

A decent EQ

Possibly music AND video in one with Video opening full screen

Believe it or not the reviews are right. Samsung did a good job

It can do #1, after u pointed it out.

It can do number 2, waiting on the ART answer

It is said by reviewers to have an awesome EQ

It doesnt play video. But I can use the Video player and It opens FULKY

Doubletwist, Playerpro do not open fully

Thanks Again
