[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CapsLockKey:
It's not just apps. Contacts, bookmarks, everything. Looks like the "security update“ was more of a unified search nerf to try and strip it out as a countermeasure to Apple's attempted ban. S Voice going to be next?

Didn't bother me all that much as I rarely use either feature, but how about giving us back the brightness adjustment in the notification bar from previous Galaxy S models to make up for it?

Do people actually even really use this functionality? I know this will save me time because I just disable this cuz it fills my google search box with a million un useful items I never searched for. When I press the search button, its to search the internet. **** Apple.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] efishta:
Ahh, damn it. I was afraid this was going to happen. For people who have a lot of apps, the search feature is used several times a day. Additionally, it's very convenient to search contacts or look up words in the dictionary directly. Funny, I never use the search the web functionality (I load up the browser and search from the address bar...

I'm.annoyed, but not really worried due to the open source nature of the os.

Did you guys update while on custom roms? Did it work fine?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Jfree3000:
I'm sorry but how the hell do you patent a search of apps, contacts and other items within a phone? It seems like apple is just going through processes that android has/had, sees that there is no patent for such a process and files for said patent acting as though they created it.

I really kept out of this apple lawsuit stuff but this is really getting out of hand, they are crippling development for everyone because they are running scared since Android is taking over. How do you patent a square/rectangle for a table? WTF?!

These patent judges are in apples pocket and its very obvious. The patent office is in apple pocket as well or they would have put an end to this crap a long time ago. Can't wait till apple starts suing people for eating apples because that is their logo.

Sorry end of rant.

Hey guys!

theres some way to root phone without change kernel?

i think original kernel is so nice and didnt wanna change it...

but can't live without root...

please help!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mopral:

Try CF Root from this thread ... it just roots your device without changing kernel/platform

[T-Mobile LG G2x] timekeeper:
Hi folks,

I've spent most of the month since I got my G2x messing around with different combinations of roms and kernels for the best experience and I thought I'd try to share some of that with you, as well as some unanswered questions.

First off, I am no stranger to android and even custom roms in general. I flashed custom roms for my windows mobile phones (two of them), before I went to android with the G1. I used the Tmobile HTC HD2 for a while after that, flashed to Gingerbread and eventually ICS roms with full HW acceleration thanks to the hard work of developers.

I got my G2x off Craigslist for use on Wind Mobile. Immediately looked up guides for nvflash and cwm, upgrading to the latest baseband (march) and trying a variety of different roms. At one point, I must've tried every rom out there in the forum, but decided to stick with owain's domination ICS because of the constantly updated codebase. The latest ones (build 78 and 79 have been having some lag issues suspectedly due to the linaro improvements), but that shows how cutting edge it is.

With all of them except my current, latest setup (which I will explain), I had a number of glitches, namely:

1. Flickering of the screen brightness when turning screen on and flickering of the screen-on for a millisecond after turning it off (with and without CRT-off animation enabled)

2. I had a little glitch with the LED lights where when it timed out, instead of turning off, it brightened brighter for a bit before turning off completely.

I understand that ICS is highly experimental, and it is a testament to how good those developers are to even get it running with hacked HWA and no official nvidia support (hopefully, yet).

I HAVE managed to solve those both problems in a very peculiar way. I applaud EaglesBlood for the slick look of their website, designs, and AROMA installer, not to mention their very slick AOSP rom. Latest news is that they're even starting to merge JB source.

Right now I am running EaglesBlood; not the AOSP, but their decommissioned CM9-based ICS build 3. Their last released version with the latest version of the trinity kernel. It's missing many of the latest CM commits, CRT-off animation (without modifying framework-res.apk) and a few features I admit, but it's blazing fast and most importantly, none of the two glitches I listed above are happening.

I am curious if there is any opportunities for information exchange here. I tried trinity kernel on build 77 and 79 of owain's domination build, and I experienced the flicker bugs, but not the LED lights. Clearly, something in the build changes could be the reason. If that could be identified, and EB's CM ICS build could be updated to the latest codebase, we could all have ourselves a more stable, and updated build with no glitches.

I am excited for the next builds of both the EB AOSP and domination builds to see what they could bring in the meantime.

Just my two cents, keep up the great work folks!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] namklak:
The other end of the spectrum of experience

I have very little experience "managing" an Android phone. I'm no technophobe, as I have 25+ years experience developing hardware and C firmware for embedded Real Time systems (none using Android nor embedded Linux). But I have a wife, kids, grandkids, and music performance is my #1 hobby, so I can't make time to "play" with my phone. I've had two G2x for my wife and I, and the only thing I did was root and freeze bloatware. I stuck with Froyo because I needed Wifi calling, a2db and BT calling, and tethering. We also got the dreaded Screen Of Death (g2x locks up, gets hot, and drains your battery, requiring a battery pull), and random reboots. I recently moved our phones to LG V21y (rooted with bloatware freeze), and my wife now gives me the evil eye. We lost the wonderful camera LG put into Froyo, we still get SOD and reboots, plus now we get frequent lag. Example: now when I'm playing music over a2dp, if I get a text or anything, the music has a momentary pause. wtf.

So, since you (Timekeeper) are trying out many ROMs, I'm curious as to which one you stay with. If anyone else wants to suggest ROMs, I'm all ears. I've also searched for a ROM of the original G2x Froyo, but the only links I come up with are dead. I want/need the above features (Froyo LG camera, WiFi calling, a2dp + BT calling, and tethering or Hotspot, and (gasp) stability) - my wife would sacrifice WiFi calling and a2dp for stability. But since she is a technophobe and I am the IT Dept, I'd prefer to have us on the same ROM.

Thanks in advance to any and all that give input.

-Bob
[T-Mobile LG G2x] redmonke255:
I suggest cyanogenmod 7.2 stable, though if you're on the latest baseband you won't have blue tooth calling. If you downgrade to July 2011 you'll have all working features. If you want you can also use faux 050 kernel if it works better than the cyanogenmod kernel.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] timekeeper:
You could give this a shot:

http://www.mediafire.com/?5vsodk99a6k6y8y

found from here: http://forum.frandroid.com/topic/86314-rom-videotron-stock-22-froyo-p999/ (in french). It's of a stock froyo rom from the provider Videotron, if you are wanting to go back to Froyo. All my roms are ICS roms (I vastly prefer it over CM7.2 after trying some), and so might not be too suitable for you. One of the things you mentioned you missed was the original Froyo camera. As always before trying this rom, do a nandroid backup of your current.

You can also try this, it contains stock nandroid restores for stock froyo and gingerbread and the links appear to still be live:

Do not, I repeat, DO NOT do a factory reset while using that ice cream sandwich lpy kernel. You will brick your device! Go download a factory wipe version gingerbread bread ROM and flash one of the many "safe" ice cream sandwich roms available.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
you dont need to revert to GB, Just flash Speedmod Kernel in ODIN and then reboot into recovery and you will be safe to wipe

speedmod will give you CWM recovery, It will also give you root, And also it will give you yellow triangle and binary count, so after the flash use this app to reset the counter and all will be well and good :)

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] TimeTomorrow:
Ok, Ive had my one x for two weeks and its a fantastic phone with absolutely pathetic battery life. So far the battery life is always inferior to my old Atrix (first one).

On a few occasions its been so bad I don't even think its possible that this phone isnt broken. I'm still locked bootloader, no hacked apps, customizations, anything. Stock and a few apps like dropbox and zynga games.

Today was especially pathetic. "Voice calls" was exactly one phone call under 10 minutes long.

Is it this bad for everyone?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Vendetta-NY:
That's pretty bad. Looks like you didn't even have the screen on all that much, either.

I'm assuming you're on 1.85? Have you tried a reset?

For comparison, and others' feedback, here's a recent snap of my stats. I'm not too confident my battery is up to snuff either.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] _MetalHead_:
Where did you read that HT24s had issues? Mine is an HT24 and it has rock solid wifi and ridiculously good battery life.

@OP- Do a factory reset and and don't install anything and run it for a day or two and see what kind of battery life you get. The important thing to look at is screen on time. If you get from 3-6 hrs screen on time (depending on cell signal, wifi, other factors) than your phone is fine.

I read it on this forum about a week ago someone posted the email conversation they had with HTC but mine is ht24 and it works fine my girlfriend just bought one yesterday and hers is the 25 so I'll be able to see if there is a difference I have noticed one thing about my WiFi it will attempt to connect to secured WiFi signals that I dont have the password to it'll say obtaining ip the say signal lost and keep repeating it till I turn it off

:crying:So my girlfriend managed to drop my beautiful white s3 and now i wanna drop her ass. somehow she managed to break it the same day i rooted it and started to truly enjoy it.

Screen cracked at the top corner now theres a spider crack all over the top of the screen with a couple of cracks that run down to the middle phone still works, but the crack is killing me on the inside hehe. Now funny part is i bought the defender for it the day i bought it cause i knew it was too weak to handle a hard drop, and i've been checking the mail for it for 2 weeks now. then she comes and does that just the day before it arrived. After crying inside a while and just wanting to punch someone i managed to start looking at options.

checked online and the parts cost $240-$290, bell and best buy can fix it by it'll cost at least $325. I also bought the best buy protection plan (12.99/month). am thinking I should be able to find some cheap non-samsung parts for much cheaper than that, replace the screen and give it to best buy for an exchange as long as something is wrong with it (not sure wt though :P)

Just posted about this in the other cracked screen thread...

"Missed my damn pocket on Saturday night, and dropped mine on the garage floor. Got a small crack about as wide a finger nail from the right side of the ear piece curving up to the edge. Which is strange, cause the only other mark on the phone is a small scuff at the bottom of the back cover. But, I have BB insurance, so its in being fixed with no deductible! I've dropped my epic a few times in the last year, and not scratch on the screen. Makes me wonder what they changed in the formula from og gorilla glass to gorilla glass 2. ￼

As much as I don't want to add all the bulk to it, the Otterbox Defender, or Trident Kraken may be in its future...

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] razorseal:
not sure how you guys manage your finances, but if there is a fee, shouldn't see be paying for it?

If I dropped my girl's laptop, phone, crashed her car (or w/e) and we weren't pretty much married, I would cover it to get whatever it is fixed.

I dropped my friend's motorcycle helmet while handing it to him several years ago. he didn't have a good grip and as I passed it, it slipped into his hand from mine and fell to the concrete floor. it was still intact, but had nice bruising from the concrete. I apologized and got him a new one within a week...

What girlfriend?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Wirelessgirl:
The PEP from Best Buy in Canada is different than the one in the US. It does not cover physical damage, liquid damage, basically they call it "stupidity". I'm not calling it that, that's how they word it. PEP from Best Buy only extends the manufacturer's warranty. So instead of getting refurbs, you get brand new replacements. And you can pick a different phone if you want. I posted in another thread indicating that no carrier or 3rd party store in Canada offers insurance anymore. At least not that I'm aware of. It sucks because Best Buy charges $12.99 + taxes per month for the PEP. I have 2 PEP's from Best Buy. On one of my PEP's, I already got 3 brand new replacement phones. On my

2nd one I got one brand new replacement in which I chose a different model.

So both already paid itself.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] bobdude5:
Wow I can't imagine trying to sell that to customers. It's already hard enough trying to get people to get the 9.99 plan that replaces the phone with no deductible. Customers say "if I break the phone I'll buy a new one for 200, not realizing the phone is $650.
