I have good experience with Anker products but I can't buy from Amazon and can't find it anywhere else. I'm still looking.. I guess that if i'll not find another store (with international shipping) I'll go for the Yoobao...

Thank :)

PS

AliExpress having a 50% off sale from the 16th till the 21st.

Do you think it safe to buy the Yoobao from there ?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] vliang621:
Is the Yoobao batteries trustworthy? Do they actually have the mAH posted?

"cpuid is different for hc and ics, but sbk stays the same"

I have seen the above statement referenced many times throughout the forum, but I still see (and have used) the same UID progressing through ROMs from HC3.1 to Civato's ICS Relixx and many bootloader upgrades. So does the statement qualify as true, as a "wive's tale", dependent upon certain hardware configurations, random, or just false?

Curious . . . . . Thanks.
[Acer Iconia A500] yaworski:
CPUID does not change between HC and ICS. It cannot as it is programmed into CPU itself. What is changing though is the Device ID that can be displayed by using "adb devices" command. With HC, the Device ID showed by adb was equal to CPUID, but in ICS this number is different. Still, the CPUID itself is the same and can be read from the device using different methods.

One of the methods reads the CPUID directly from Tegra 2 CPU in APX mode by using USB bulk transfer on proper endpoint. As APX is not dependant on installed ROM/bootloader at all it invalidates the statement you mentioned with 100% certainty.
[Acer Iconia A500] amphi66:
Makes sense. Thank you.
[Acer Iconia A500] shaun298:
Mine has stayed the same all the way to ics.

---------- Post added at 09:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:58 PM ----------

Thanks also, the number that I used to get my sbk has always been the same from hc to ics. Is that the number that is supposed to change...? I wrote mine down when I got the tab and it is the same today. Kind of foged on this.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
I'm trying to understand why I'm not getting the battery life that I was expecting and one of my thoughts is that the CPU is not "sleeping" as much as it should be (last night my phone, sitting on charge with display off, apparently spent no time sleeping).

Right now, I'm using 3C's System Tuner and it seems to do a good job recording the amount of time spent with the CPU running at various speeds. I'd like to be able to both confirm that its estimates are reasonable, as well as be able to confirm that it is not the problem.

Is there another app that records the amount of time spent at each CPU speed that is highly recommended?

(Grrr, can't fix typo in title. Apparently I "spend" not enough time sleeping myself last night)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] 95Z28:
I use CPU spy.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
Thanks!

Source code of cpuspy points to

/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/stats/time_in_state

as the source of information, so no app "truly" needed, and any app that uses this should

Have the same output

Not cause any ongoing load on the system to collect the time-in-state data
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] iamperson347:
Also, BetterBateryStats, though i don't think it can break down how much time was spent in each step of cpufreq. It does, however, give some information about wakelocks and stuff, though its getting to be outdated.

[HTC Wildfire S] gdjindal:
Hello Friends

I don't know if someone already posted this. But I did it myself so m posting here.

First of all to get back old market you need root access on your phone. After that an app that can control system apps like link2sd or SD maid etc. Using that app find an app named "market updater". Freeze that app. Then uninstall updates of Google Play Store (updates only). That's it , now start using old Google market

If you wants to get back to Google Play Store just unfreeze the market updater app n update the market.

YEH... but thanks anyway, what inspired you to do this?
[HTC Wildfire S] gdjindal:
Your welcome Dr. globbyglob

Before rooting my wfs when ever I open the play store and look around for any app, for many of times it shows network error, I don't know why it was happening and it also take too much time to load an app info. I have read many times on xda that old market is working good then new one so that's why I did it

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrPloppy:
Hello all,

I wonder if anyone can tell me how I know if my phone is in a dock mode? I've just bought a desktop dock from MobileFun, and while it charges it, and I'm able to access the phone for file transfer, I don't think its in dock mode. I've got Profile Scheduler, and it doesn't seem to detect when I put the phone into the dock.

Am I overlooking something obvious here?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HellcatDroid:
If you put the phone into the dock, it shows a special "desktop page", basically a lot of empty screen with a clock in the middle.and some small shortcut icons and buttons in the top.

(cant make a screenshot ATM, my dock is at home and I am not ;))
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrPloppy:
Thanks. So the dock I've got seems only to be charging it, and not docking it. Any ideas about the difference? How does the phone know its being docked / charged?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrPloppy:
Sorry to bump - promise I'll only do it once.

I'm just wondering whether the desktop dock is faulty, or whether I'm not doing something right.

How does a S3 know the difference between a dock and just simply charging, which is what my dock seems to be doing.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HellcatDroid:
I think the phone knows about being in the dock the same way it knows about an OTG being connected, AC being plugged, the JIG being inserted and all these things, by a certain resistor value between the usually unused 5th and the VCC (IIRC) PIN of the USB port.

Or in other words there's a resistor of a special "value" between two PINs of the USB connector, and via that the phone knows what's going on down there.

The original Sammy dock doesn't (to my disappointment) do much more than just charging and allowing for connecting external speakers.

It doesn't even pass the USB through, so connecting the dock to the PC and putting the phone into the dock will NOT give USB connection :(

Ohwell....
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Iphony89:
Changing my dpi on the Galaxy Note was almost a necessity, not sure its required on the S3, but then again its personal preference. I might try it just to see how it looks.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] J-man67:
Thanks! I remember doing this on my Atrix, but I forgot how. I can't stand the large icons and such.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] uber_mike:
I tried this a few hours ago on my Verizon SGS3 and it would boot, but the screen went black after the "Galaxy SIII" text and wouldn't come back on making the device unusable. I did use LCD density modder though. I'll probably edit build.prop directly but the thought of having a broken play store doesn't thrill me.

Edit: Directly editing build.prop worked! I have it set to 260 dpi and it looks great. I also was able to use LCD density modder to fix the play store!
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] elterible:
Thanks for the input!

Did you use LCD Density Modder to edit build.prop AND fix the play store? Also, having never been able to use LCD Density Modder given the problems I had before, does the hacked Play Store come as the latest Jelly Bean version?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] bdbx18:
Nice writeup! I have practically the same setup but now I can just refer to this if I need to re-setup.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] J-man67:
I can't get my Play Store to function properly at 260, but I LOVE the look. Maybe mod the LCD density manually and use the Modder app to fix the Store? Im going to try that.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] chakra:
240 is a stock density for many devices, just use 240 and the play store works as normal.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] eff0rtless:
so thanks for reminding me about this. I used to do this for my Vibrant. I remember I needed to grab the spare parts app though and turn on compatibility mode or something? Currently I'm having an issue with the space between my dock and page indicators as you can see..

rom toolbox set & lcd density set to 280. Saved and rebooted a few times already
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] uber_mike:
Nope, just for the play store fix. I used root browser to edit build.prop. The play store appears to be the regular ICS version, but I haven't seen the JB one so I'm not sure.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] elterible:
Thanks. I will update OP with your findings
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] elterible:
Yeah, using the default TouchWiz UX Launcher is not ideal for this mod. TW does not scale well and you cannot adjust things like "margin" or grid layout to maximize the new "resolution". If you MUST use TW, then this mod may not be right for you but this is easily remedied by an aftermarket launcher, as detailed in my post. Your options are:

- Apex Launcher (my personal favorite)

- Nova Launcher

- Go Launcher

- Atom Launcher

- Default ICS Launcher

I will update OP with some screenshots
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] toddbw:
I know on some devices changing the screen density will make your phone show as not compatible with certain apps in Google Play, so be aware.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] elterible:
Yes, this is very annoying issue. I tried to address this as best as possible in the "Potential Issues and Workarounds" section.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] eff0rtless:
oooh yeaaaah. ur right. I forgot that tw is locked in at that stock size. I'll give those a try and see what I can get
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] EM2_Rob:
Thanks, 320 was too big for me.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] falconator:
Great guide, I used to do this on my og evo. It would be nice if there was a standard setting between hdpi and xhdpi to avoid conflicts on the play store (213 ftw!) though.

Also don't forget you can change text size under display settings, which has a somewhat similar effect to setting dpi lower. I find that setting it to tiny or small tightens things up a bit, although it's not truly system wide.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] DutchDogg54:
I tried 240 and it works great, no play store issues. Thanks a bunch OP for mentioning the dialer/contacts app. Looks/works great!

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] elterible:
Thanks for the input everyone. Again, I will update OP with notes
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] eff0rtless:
any apex launcher users getting app drawer lag? It's pretty noticeable to me =\
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] uber_mike:
One issue I found when changing DPI is with the stock camera app, the shutter and picture review buttons don't scale so the icons look "off." Not a huge deal, but worth noting.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] elterible:
Hmm, not me... but then again, I don't really have a great reference point. I've been using Apex Launcher since the minute I got my GS3 and avoided TW altogether. Would you say it's actual, definitive "lag" or just slower in comparison to TW? Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I believe TW is hardware-optimized so it should be extremely snappy and may make other launchers seem slower by comparison. In general, compared with let's say Nova Launcher, I have noticed that Apex's transitions tend to be a bit slower
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] elterible:
I noticed this also just this morning and have updated OP. Thanks again for your contributions
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] eff0rtless:
its just not as quick I guess as I'd like it to be when going page to page. I have the "Minimum scrolling time" set to "0" already. TW was smooth and I guess this is just a a hare behind that. I'll try and clear our some more ram for apex and see if that helps
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] elterible:
I would also suggest try changing the transition animation to "none", it speeds things up just a bit.

If you find the delay just unbearable with Apex, I would try out Nova. I feel like their transitions are bit snappier
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] freakboy13:
So the modest app may cause issues, but on my dx, dx2 and one xl, I used the "LCD resolution" app without problems.

Have you tried this particular app as well?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] elterible:
I tried it back on my GSII with GB and had limited success. Since I have had such good results with Rom Toolbox or simply manually editing the build.prop, I haven't tried it since. Also, I'm not sure why it requires busybox since it's such a seemingly simple mod (but I'm no dev so I won't pretend to know everything about this)

CyanogenMod is an AOSP rom (Android Open Source Project), that means that has no Sense interface. If you are trying to get some Sense 3.6 or 4.0 with ICS, there are a couple of Beta version in the development forum, but are not fully working. ICS update for the DHD will be released soon and as soon the kernel source is available in the HTCDEV site, the Dev's over here will be publishing their works.
