Hi,

As the title says, does anybody know how I can hide the "Newsworthy thread" button that appears under the page selector? On my phone especially, I always end up accidentally clicking it (especially on threads that are un-newsworthy), and I imagine it's annoying for the news team.

Best regards
[About XDA developers] mikef:
No way to hide it as far I can tell. Also, with regards to your sig, I know what you mean about the 8 thanks per day limit, but otherwise the concept of the system would be invalidated if everyone had hundreds or thousands of thanks and their meters were maxed, no?

Besides, the limit used to be 5 per day. :D
[About XDA developers] qwerty12:
Damn, thanks. (I apologise to the news team in advance.)

Maybe threads would be a little quieter, but I do see your point. (I was hoping that as a member of 2005 I'd be given a concession. :P /snob)

Just got this from china for USD 1.55, this case is very similar to the popular rock quicksand, whiles many members are searching for genuine rock case, many people don't realize that the rock quicksand did not design this case and that there are almost 20 version of this case available in china from branded to non branded and there are no differences at all apart from the inprint name, logo and packaging.

Photo below is the SGP, but I'm sure it's a fake, the shop say's it's a sample.

True, i dont mind where the product was made, i have issue with where I buy from, if i can get it from domestic sellers, i will not look elsewhere.

I have had bad experiences of not getting my product or wait forever to get it, and once the product has issue, it is a hassle to return it and wait for replacement and etc. I know a lot of people doesnt have issue with not receiving product but I am the unlucky one, it happens to me many times as I shop online a lot for almost everything besides groceries and clothing, haha.

My official Rock case has a much less depth of cut around the headphone jack, no visible mold seams, and it appears to be a thinner case based on the angles and look compared to your pictures. But hey, for $2 what can you expect...not a bad deal. I do like my Rock though...after hearing enough good things about them from past buyers of their cases I was work the plunge for me.

How is this a review?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tweakedlogic:
This crazy problem started last week with my Galaxy S running Serendipity ROM.

Now, when I want to compose a text or email with voice, it isn't using english. I thought it was Spanish at first (no I can't speak Spanish). But sometimes it's typing different words or even numbers for the same words I speak.

I say "this is a test", and I get, "nosotras". As I'm typing this, it is now typing the same thing for the same words. It wasn't doing that yesterday. three times I got three different responses.

I have made sure that English is selected in settings. the only thing I can think of that has changed in the last couple of weeks (months even) is I re-installed Google voice app. The problem started a day or two after that, the best i can recall. I've been running this ROM since I first got the phone two years ago. I don't install new software very often.

So, what's going on with my phone? Some crazy virus? Has the phone become self aware and decided to toy with me? Voice text is one of my most favorite features, i really want it to work again.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Red_81:
Try clearing the data in the 3 voice programs and maybe Google voice too.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
Which program are you using for your speech-to-text conversion? I'm using Google Voice myself, but I don't see any built-in conversion software. Is it tied to the keyboard program you're using?

If you can't get anything else to work, you can try the newest Swype beta; it has Dragon conversion software built in, and in my experience, it works pretty well.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tweakedlogic:
I'm not sure what program it is. It came with the Serendipity ROM. I'll have to dig around and find out.

How/where would i clean my programs?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
Go to settings - applications - manage applications, then find the individual applications. Click the app, and then the "clear data" button. That will reset the offending app's data.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tweakedlogic:
Thank you very much. clearing the data worked. I hope it stays fixed. I think the one that fixed it was clearing the swype keyboard. I never liked the swype KB, I should just remove it if it's going to cause trouble.

Thanks again.

Hi folks,

I have had my rogers S3 for several days now. while i love it very much but one issue frustrates me. I get only about 6-7 hours for one charge on a maybe a little bit more than moderate use.

I read somewhere there was an error in one of the system config files but that article was talking about the international version. do any of you experience the same?

My GS3 battery life is going against all the reviews. help.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jvoisin:
I had the same problem, I did a factory reset and it seems to be considerably better now.

not sure why the phone kept going into deep discharge, but it hasn't done it since and it's been a week or so now.. is your phone also warm near the USB connector?

The error in the config file was just in regards to the reporting of usage.. Cell Standby usage was being over-reported.. I am not seeing that as being the case on my Rogers SGS3..

One thing I did do is nuke all the rogers installed apps.. I got sick of the VVM+ whining constantly about not being able to work over WiFi.. I just used Titanium Backup to freeze all of the rogers apps.. (rather than uninstalling them).. battery life is quite good actually.. very surprised.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] quekou:
thank you for the info. how is a factory reset done? does that mean i would lose everything i downloaded already? i will give the Titanium Backup a try to get rid of the rogers apps too to see if it helps. yeah, the phone gets pretty warm after a short while.

Are you on LTE, My battery gets about the same with LTE always on since it does consume a lot of power
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jaketten:
Well.. this may not be a fix but it really worked forr me. Battery time was at least trippeled.

I drained my battery until the phone shut down, then I connected the charger WITHOUT turning on the phone (allright I KNOW it sounds stupid). Noticed the time to charge it fully increased from 1.5-2 hours to 4-5 hours.

I had to charge the phone during the day before, now it last for 2 days at least.

The cell standby is still wrong but that is just a indication fault, this was a real problem for me.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dorcy75:
it's the rogers apps!!!

FYI - disable the rogers apps (all of them) and your battery life will DRASTICALLY increase. I've tested this with them enabled (battery life sucked), and disabled (battery lasted for like 1.5+ days).

Oh and let rogers know their apps suck like I did. The more people that report it the more chance they might actually fix them. A fun way is to do it to their twitter account @rogershelps

If you decide to keep them disabled, be sure to call Rogers and tell them to remove any of the features those apps use...thus reducing you monthly bill.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cbandchikin:
Rogers apps

Forgive my ignorance, I have a VZW GS3. What are Rogers apps? What app names should I look for to see if they're on my phone? Thanks to VZW I cant unlock and root my phone this may not matter.

Hi guys,

How do you remove Rogers app? You have to be root, right?

Thx,

Phil
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bjtheone:
With root you can either delete them or use titanium backup to freeze them (stop them from running or updating).

I did this (freeze the Rogers apps and most of the samsung ones) and get all day battery life (6am to midnight) with between 4 & 5 hours of screen time.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tcb4:
I've found that battery life is related to cell coverage. If I have 3-5 bars and I'm not using the phone I could lose about a percent of battery per hour and my phone will run at a 40-45 when I do use it. If I only have 1 or 2 bats and it keeps switching between 3g and 4G I could easily lose 6-10 percent an hour and my phone will run at 50 or so degrees celcius. A restart seems to help the phone get a better lock. All this temps were cpu temps.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] leak73:
I just did a wipe/reset and found that this worked for me. I couldn't squeeze out a day with it and now go to bed with 30-40 percent left.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] lineux:
Battery life

My battery life on a debloated stock build was average. I was getting about 16-18hrs on moderate use. I've recently tried CPU Editor battery saver profile and so far its going great. I'll post back on the results after I go through a few charging/discharging cycles.

I'm with rogers and my battery is pretty awful too. Not quite as bad as yours, but still not as good as I'd hope with LTE off.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] blue265:
What kind of usage do you have though ? For example I work with a guy who has the same model and was complaining about battery. I checked his stats and was at 35 percent battery with 4 hours display time. If you're getting 5 to 6 hours screen on time that's enough to kill battery. If its in standby for 6 to 7 hours and battery is dying then something is wrong
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] gmac1990:
I've had very similar issues. Tried several ROMs and had charging problems and finally ended up on cm10 and it took about 3.5 hours to charge from 30% to 85%. Then dropped to 80% after only thirty minutes off the charger. Not sure exactly what to do to fix the issue.

Well, I have been an iphone user for the last few years and finally made the switch. I customize everything, so I'm use to using Cydia and Winterboard. I have no idea if there is anything comparable.

So, my question is... As a beginner on this platform, where do I even start looking besides here to find out what I can do with rooting my phone, creating themes, or custom apps and tweaks.

Like I said, I'm very new too this, and have no idea where to look. I've tried searching, but some of the terms i'm not familiar with yet. The nice thing that I can see right now, is the reason's I jailbroke my iphone, the S3 does already, or I have figured out an easy alternative.

Any help in the right direction would be great! So far, I'm really glad I got rid of the iphone :)
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] demarcmj:
XDA is probably the best source, but there are certainly plenty of other xda-like sites out there. RootzWiki is probably the biggest, but it seems like a handful of new ones pop up every day.

On top of that, I'd say try the obvious... google it! If you google something like "what can i do with my rooted android phone" you'll find a lot of good suggestions (articles by tech sites, as well as forum threads from people who have asked the same questions as you). Keep in mind though, Android advances pretty fast, and all phones are a little different so not everything you find may be relevant anymore. Example: You may find something that says screenshots are a good reason to root... but that's a standard feature now in ICS, and Samsung phones could do it all along. So just keep that in mind... some things you may find may be out of date.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Jakkyll:
Hey welcome to android. I too made the switch over a year ago and that's when I became a member here. I spent the better part of that sifting through all this site has to offer. I started with the captivate when the rooms for it were at their prime and I have upgraded to the s3. I don't know all there is to know about this stuff but I have not wrecked my phones yet. So with all that said I would recommend getting yourself familiar by reading the stickies. They some very nice tutorials. Also if your not sure about something qna section is good. Once you get the hang of all this you will see exactly why android is true open source. Jailbreaking for me got boring but rooting and flashing roms is always interesting. This site also has very friendly developers that love doing this stuff so that's also a huge help. Last but not least don't be afraid to ask. It may mean the difference between an awesome phone and nice looking paper weight from Korea :D
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] blackguy101:
The great thing about Android is because you can do anything on it right out of the box compared to you having to jailbreak an iphone. Id suggest just going through different apps and what not in the app store and see what catches your eye
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Stresa:
Honestly, I would recommend that you spend some serious time getting to know android and understanding all of the capabilities of your phone before you even consider rooting it (not to mention flashing a new ROM.

I am a long time Android user that has rooted and flashed many ROM's over the years, but the S3 is so good out of the box (imho) that I personally have no need or desire to even root it at this point. That may change in the future, but that's where I stand right now.

I guess my advice would be ... don't be in a huge hurry to start making massive changes to the device until you understand what you have. No need to risk killing that shiny new toy (yet).

Welcome. I think maybe figure out what you'd like to do that you haven't figured out yet and search on xda or even Google. Its possible you may not need to root to achieve it. I root only to restore app plus its data from one android phone to the next. Without root it only restores app so for example with games it won't restore where I left of in the other device.
