[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nailerr:
Just like to join in as I am wondering the same things, for the same reasons. Except I'd say GPs absolutely does work in the One X, so I suspect you had the antenna disconnection problem. Mine was in for repair 4 times for this (WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS) and on the 5th incident I asked for a refund. HTC have actually said this is a known problem they can now fix.

Otherwise, just like to watch this thread while I also wait for a refund..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michael_P:
All the problems I've noticed are all software related and heard no real complaints about hardware except for some occasional whining about design and the back cover being a bit fragile, and the GPS is by far the best I've ever used for lock speed and indoor/blocked reception.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RageATheM:
So far I've had 0 hardware issues. You seem like GPS functioning well is what you are wondering as well? I have the Navigon app and have used it with data turned off and GPS+data and both work great I was a bit worried coming from the S2 as I found it's GPS to be spotty at best.

Hi

I returned 4 HOX'S for various problems, so I got the galaxy s3, had it for 4 weeks and had no issues, fantastic phone, I use endomondo all the time again no issues with GPS. In the last 8 months I've had 9 different phones to try and find the right one and this is a keeper.

Hope it helps....
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fasty:
I recently "defected" from HTC to this, my first Samsung.

I would like to address the question about Sync'ing with Outlook.

The wretched application provided by HTC for this purpose always annoyed me. It had the nasty habit of modifying contact details and appointments in Outlook even though I had carefully set it not to touch them.

The equivalent program for Samsung (KIES) is not perfect, but it Sync'ed my Outlook contacts perfectly with no undesirable side-effects.

I'm really glad I switched to the GS3.

For such a leading-edge product that has not been released very long, there are surprisingly few bugs. GPS is the best I've ever seen (and I've seen a few!)

We were just talking about this in my office. I am so happy I ditched my EVO 4G LTE for this.

I used the one click root method and HTC Dev unlock, will Boot Manager (pro) work on my device? Has anyone else used it on their HTC One X ATT?

The app says it requires S-OFF, which I believe I have because of my HTC Dev unlock.

You do not have s-off (there is no s-off method for this phone yet), and no that will not work.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] tuffluck:
i google'd this but can't find anything on it and was wondering if the s3 is the first phone that allows users to disable at&t services without root. this is my first android device so i wouldn't know if that's true...

anyway, i have hotspots, navigator, messages, and updater. Carat is saying updater uses a lot of my battery, but that is the only one i can't disable in the application management menu in settings. however, i assume if i disable the other 3 then updater will have nothing to update and will consume less battery (hopefully).

has anyone tried to disable these programs with success, i.e. without it causing problems to your phone?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] toughcookie:
im not sure. but i did try to uninstall one and then it just showed up that it needed a update so i ended up redownloading the app because im so OCD about having updates not done

ATT Apps

You go into the application manager and DISABLE the app. I have gotten rid of ALL the ATT bloatware this way. Works sort of like

Titanium Backup but you do not need the root. Great option.

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] pinoymutt:
This is actually one of the 'features' of ICS (being able to disable apps w/o needing root). It basically very similar to "freezing" apps in TiBackup if you have root. It's generally much safer than outright deleting an app since if you do find you need it you can always re-enable it.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] alphamale99:
Make sure you have "auto update" unchecked in Google play first. Go to manage apps in settings and then go to "all".

Disable the ones that you don't need which is prolly a lot. You can also hide them if you want. While in your app drawer hit the menu button and choose hide apps.

I tried the trick pressing the hard-reset button behind the phone with a pin but no success, even tried by removing battery, pressing the buttons for download mode and put battery back in, all it did was windows looking for the omap3630 drivers .

You must do following things

1. install latest kies & restart pc.

2. Use v1.83 odin version.

3. Check whether firmware file u have downloaded is correct or currupted. Its better to download it again.

4. check whether u are applying 3 combination button in correct manner or not to boot in download mode. Most of the time people do mistake in this step.

[Nook Color General] sanshri57:
Hi

Please respond to the following. I tried a lot to look the answer to my problem in the forums, but could not find it (or did not get the right forum)

I dual booted my NC with CM7.1.0. It was working fine without any problem, but suddenly stopped entering into the main screen. Whenever i on the nook the Cyanogen loading ... screen comes and then screen flashes and turns lit black.. the NC is not off but it does not reach to the main system. I tried to use update the CM by copying a new file to usd, but it did not let me do so.. computer hanged. I do not want to format it as it has some .xls files in documents folder in the 4th partition of usd. Can someone please tell me how to extract those files using computer's sd car slot ( I can not use nook usb option as it is not booting CM) and how to recover the older working condition.
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
I assume you have stock working on emmc. I have a flash file that you can temporarily flash to stock to make it read the fourth partition of the SD as 'sdcard'. Go to my tips thread linked in my signature and item B3 in the second post (last paragraph). It tells you how to modify stock to read that partition. If your stock is rooted, you can just edit the file yourself. If not rooted, you need to flash one of the files attached to the post. Instructions are there. After retrieving your files you can revert stock back to normal by re-editing the file or by flashing a second zip, or just keep it that way and use partition four for both systems. Then you can start over with your verygreen SD and reinstall CM7.
[Nook Color General] sanshri57:

Dear,

I am new to Android.. .sod could not understand many things that you wrote in your posts... but thanks a lot for finding the time and writing me back..I did not get it how can i solve my problem.

Please let me know if you can give me any simpler way to access and copy my .xls file and restore the cm in previous working condition( this will save me from installing from the start).... rgds

[Nook Color General] sanshri57:

Thanks for being so patient. I dont think it is rooted and the stock nook is touched as i follow a link provided in this forum to boot usd and dual boot nook without losing warranty to install cm7 on a usd.

When i use boot the nc, i see following responses

1. boot without usd: boots to original nc, all files and applications are there and work perfectly fine.

2. boot with usd without going to boot menu: cyanogen loading banner shows up and then screen flashes. .then a lit black screen .. nothing happens after that

3. boot with usd and selecting emmc in boot menu: boots to original nc but hangs at home screen

4. boot with usd and selecting sd (external storage) in boot menu: cyanogen loading banner shows up and then screen flashes. .then a lit black screen .. nothing happens after that
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
Your SD is definitely messed up. You will need to reinstall after we get your file saved that you want.

You will need a spare SD card that you can put my bootable CWM recovery on.

Go to my tips thread linked in my signature and download to your PC three files attached there. The one that starts CWM... and the two that start update-stock...

Extract the CWM zip. It will have a 200Mb .img file in it. Burn that to the spare SD just like you did when you made the verygreen SD. Once that is burned and you can see it on your PC, copy the two update-stock... zips to it.

Remove that SD from the PC and put in the nook. Boot. The CWM menu will come up. Select 'install zip from sdcard '. Then select 'choose zip from sdcard'. Scroll through the list and pick 'update-stockemmc-vold-fstab-modified-for-partition4.zip'. Then confirm the selection. It will flash the zip. Remove the CWM card and reboot to stock.

Insert the verygreen SD and you should be able to connect your USB and see partition 4 on the PC as 'sdcard'.

To return your stock to original after retrieving your file, just go through the process of flashing the other update file with CWM. But most people like leaving it modified so that they can always use just one SD for both systems.
[Nook Color General] sanshri57:
I did exactly same, but could not see partition 4 on the pc as 'sdcard'. I see two drives 1. mynookcolor ( i can access all files in it), and 2. a removable disk drive I:/ ( that i can not access). I do not see my files (see pic below) those are on the 4th partition of sd card.
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
You need to mount the card in settings. Go to settings, device info, SD card. And choose 'mount SD card'.
[Nook Color General] sanshri57:
It is already mounted. It shows sd card memory (not available), unmount SD card (\unmount the sd card for safe removal), and format sd card (format (erase) the sd card). However, only third option is active others are grey/inactive.
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
If it says unavailable and the first two are greyed out, that means it is not mounted. Pull it out and put it back in... wait you had the cable unplugged when you checked that didn't you? You should have.

[Nook Color General] sanshri57:
I tried as told... number of times.. but same result.. I do not see any drive for sdcard. I see a removable drive F:/ (that i cant access) other than mynookcolor e:/ all time.
[Nook Color General] sanshri57:
I did it number of times.. the results are same. the nc detects a sd card but two areas a re grey..Everytime when i plug usb my nc to laptop, it shows a mynookcolor drive and a removable disk f:\ drive which can not be accessed. I have used another laptop but it is same...
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
What I am asking is with the USB cable removed, what does the settings show? If you remove and replace the SD with the settings window open, is there any difference? You say it detects it, how do you know that?

Edit: I have been searching for a solution for you. There are two ways to see those files with your PC. To view it in Windows, you must make several complicated changes to your drivers. I'm sure you do not want to do that. The other way is to use Linux. It has the ability to see and mount multiple partitions on an SD. You can either find someone who has a Linux system to do it for you or you can make yourself a Ubuntu Live CD that you can boot with your PC. None of these options are easy, which is why I was trying to do it the other way on your nook.

I don't know why your system is not mounting that SD properly. Even if those changes I had you make were not there, it should at least mount partition one on the nook.

Sent from my Nook Color running ParanoidAndroid and Tapatalk
[Nook Color General] sanshri57:
without usb cable,

1. sd card removed

sd card memory (not available)

Unmount SD card (unmount the sd card for safe removal)

Format sd card (format (erase) the sd card

All are grey/inactive

2. sd card inserted

sd card memory (not available)

Unmount SD card (unmount the sd card for safe removal)

Format sd card (format (erase) the sd card

Now top 2 are inactive, but the third one (format) is active

whenever i insert a card it shows small box flash that shows sd with tick mark, and when i remove it again shows the sd flash box with cross mark.
[Nook Color General] DizzyDen:
The card is not written correctly... if you format it in the nook... you will see it on your computer... then you can remove it... and try writing the uSDcard image again with win32diskimager
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
Dizz, he was trying to figure out how to get his data off of partition 4 before he reformats and starts again. I was hoping he could do it with the nook, but it is not reading it. I had him modify emmc so it can see partition 4, but no luck here. Do you have any ideas?

Sent from my Nook Color running ParanoidAndroid and Tapatalk
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
I just had another thought. Put the card in the PC and open with your partition software. Delete partition one, two and three. Then maybe windows can see partition 4, since it is now partition one. You may have to move it to the beginning of the SD, but I don't think you have to.

Edit: I was able to test this on my spare SD card with the EaseUS partition program and it works. Be sure to give it a drive letter.

[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
No, your installed apps are stored on partition 3. But if you bought them, google lets you redownload and install to as many devices as you want, as long as you are logged in to your Google Play account. What you will get back is things you had stored on 'sdcard' (pictures, books, music and other files like your xls files you wanted, what you saw in that screenshot you posted.)
[Nook Color General] DizzyDen:
I had thought of this before I commented about the SD being not formatted correctly... should only have to delete partition 1 ("boot") since windows should use the first fat partition....

However...

Since the nook doesn't show "unmount" or ""sd card memory" active... it is certainly not reading partition 1 correctly.

He can flash my B&N 1.4.1 with SASD vold.fstab edits to see partition 4 (if it can read it) and transfer everything from that partition.
