[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ThC23:
That is very true, but this phone out the box is pretty good on both categories.

So to me, it's not that important right now.

Usually I root and flash something within the first few days, but I really don't have an urge to at the moment.

I'm happy with the phone right now as it stands. Even with all the bloat.

Powered by the SGSIII
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tx3kgtman:
Exactly how I feal. Ive always rooted and romd pretty much right away for the speed, battery life, and features of custom roms.

Speed: seriously can you get any faster than instant and smooth as butter?

Battery Life: Im getting 4.5-5 hours of screen on time on each charge which is amazing compared to most phones so Im just now getting used to that lol. I know roms can even improve me on that but I dont need it right now.

Features: this phone stock is crammed with features.

I will be rooted before long for root apps and akop when it comes though :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Araltd:
My other phone is an iPhone 4. And the battery on that phone is insane! And the gs3 is pretty darn good. I'm a heavy use phone guy, and i have only had to recharge this phone once during the day. Now at night (end of day) the battery is in the low teens but it's still on :-)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] PatrickHuey:
On my first gs3 I rooted it and had major software problems. Not only did wallet not work, but it seem to brick my nfc and no matter what I did I couldn't get it to work. I got it replaced which is good but I don't want to risk it again. This phone is amazing out of the box. I think when asop becomes available ill probably give it another shot. I wanna see what LTE is like too when it comes to Dallas :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Android_Monsters:
Free gs3 release 3 is a big improvement over stock
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Araltd:
Why? :confused:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] itsjusttim:
Just to name a few off the top of my head... I know there is many more reasons.

Bloat free.

Smoother

No Carrier iq

Improved Battery life

1.89 oc

No adds (add free)

Free tethering
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Xalky:
I just rooted mine...Sprint. I got it 5 hrs ago and I couldn't stand the bloatware staring me in my face.:eek:. I also hate ads, so adfree is next to get installed on my phone. Plus i like to control whats on my phone and how it acts. All n all, this phone is awesome, I see no need for a ROM at this time, and i don't think OC is in the cards because this thing is fast. I have all these paid apps that were on my epic 4g that require root to run. i paid for them, so i'm gonna use em.:D

I have found a few customs via the play store and other threads of some custom skins for one x roms but the only 1 that shows is the icehd skin. They do show up in the data/app folder but not in the skins menu.View attachment 1190260View attachment 1190261

At a glance all the permissions are set the same, but I am not sure where else to look or if there is an easy way to get them to work without having to pull them apart with some sort of s/w.

All the normal skins are there for the x and v versions its just some of the other skins I have found for sense 4 roms aren't showing up in the skin chooser even though they are in the data/app folder. I know that hawknests mikics skin only works on v and the icehd skin only works on x but I have a few others that I found that don't work on either so I am wondering if they are full sense 4 specific and if that is the case is there an easy edit I can make to the apk file or would I have to use a s/w program and several hours of hair pulling and screaming at my puter to get them to work

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] thatotherguy..:
So I had an LTE before this one and I make a backup and using the same recovery as before and now when I try to restore it won't find it

Anyone??
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] megabiteg:
Did you copy the backups to the same place you had them in the other phone? what is the error message you get? and what recovery you have ?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] thatotherguy..:
Yes its in twrp and I don't see them
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Spyderekz:
it doesnt see them because they are stored according to the device ID, make a back up of something small like cache, then put your old back up in that folder so you know where its at. my kindle fire is twrp/backup/000000000000 for example. your htc might be twrp/backup/1111111111 and your old one was twrp/backup/111111111112

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pvsgh:
I have tried lots of ICS roms till now and with every rom Iam seeing same wifi issues.

Wifi keeps disconnecting every 15 20 mins.

Today I installed official ICS using ODIN and still same issue. I was thinking this wouldn't be present in final release.

Everything works perfect on GB. Very excited about ICS but can't use my phone with wifi issues :(

Did anyone notice this on their phone?

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] RabidSmurf:
I haven't had this issue personally..

Have you tried more then one WIFI network? Just thinking maybe it's your access point/router that's having issues, try restarting it perhaps?

Edit: Could also try playing with the WIFI settings in the router, sometimes changing the channel works for especially angry devices.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] orlandoxpolice:
Factory reset the router
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pvsgh:
As I said earlier, it has nothing to do with my Router as everything works perfectly if I am on GB. I have Kindle Fire(on CM9) and Galaxy Tab 2( CM9) also and no issues those devices.

I see the same issue at home as well as in office wifi.

As the wifi gets connected within seconds after getting disconnected so it doesn't effect Web browsing, but when playing online games it becomes a nightmare.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] laoballaz:
Hi, can anybody help with this problem. I have a HTC HD2 TMOUS model. I just install the [July 8th] [Sense 3.5] Energy™ -.¸¸.·´¯ Sense 3.5 and when I try to load up the web browser it automatically shut down itself. I also try installing other web browsers like Skyfire and Dolphin Web browser and every I open up it automatically shut down. I use to have the previous version of Energy ROM and it works perfectly. But when I updated the new version I'm having this problem now. Also I already did the Task29, repartition to 380 mb. I try re-partition 400 mb also and it still doesn't work. Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] littlewierdo:
Ok, one more new thing, the phone now charges correctly off your USB port, ie. charges faster.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigmout:
Awesome write up! Do you have any idea how -- or if -- we can add app shortcuts to the lockscreen like the SGSIII?

PS: I have Widgetlocker but would prefer to use the system for this if possible.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] andrawer:
Under Settings Developer Options you have the ability to adjust the Window Animation scale and also Transition Animation Scale.

When I set these to 0 then launchers like Go launcher behave much quicker.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] murso74:
whats the downside to GPU rendereing? decreased battery life?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] littlewierdo:
My understanding is, one of the major improvements made to ICS is the ability to offload some of the processing to the processor / gpu depending on current load - ie. cpu is extremely busy at the moment so offload some processing to the gpu (or vice versa). Enabling this option I believe forces the gpu to handle everything regardless of the state of the cpu.

Reports have claimed enabling this option has mixed results. If the app supports gpu acceleration, you will see better performance. If it doesnt, the app will actually have worse performance and may actually crash the app in some rare cases. All ICS updated apps support this and chances are, if the software you have on your Note has been updated to support ICS, you have no issues.

So, the advice from the streets is to either keep is disabled and pretend you didnt see it or enable it and keep in the back of your mind that you might need to disable it occasionally for certain apps. The performance improvement is supposedly pretty minimal.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] littlewierdo:
Yea, there are a couple of negatives about this however. Any native Android apps will loose some of the fancy 'little' touches (for example fading when going from one screen to another in settings). Some have reported however a small improvement in battery life doing this so its up to you. Persoinally, performance wise, I didnt notice anything differently with these set to 0. But then again, I have only one homescreen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] littlewierdo:
One other note, I just got off a 2.5 hour phone call from a full charge. Ended the call with 70% battery left. This is a HUGE improvement over GB where I likely would have been around 50% left.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rajendra82:
I am sorry to tell you that you are incorrect. Here is information about that toggle and other android graphics issues straight from the woman who designed the OS.

http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sour...I-C08yEO63mvHG6BQ&sig2=bamQd77PjEBd050c6s96EQ

TLDR:

Before ICS, android used the GPU to accelerate the animations of the windows, but it left the choice of how to render graphics inside the windows to the app developer. What the toggle does, is to force GPU rendering inside the windows, even if the app did not ask for it. There are two downsides to this forced rendering. The forced rendering can break compatibility. It can also increase memory usage unnecessarily.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] halfgingghost:
I see I wasn't the only one to notice that the brightness/ notification bar trick doesn't work anymore. I really hope they bring it back.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Jim Dead:
Just received an email from Samsung saying to upgrade to ICS (did it via kies when 1st available). The email stated there is a newly introduced "Desktop View". This is for the default web browser.....

If you want to switch to "Desktop" browser mode, bring up the settings and select "Desktop view". So now its easier to switch between mobile and desktop browser modes.

Before you had to do "about:useragent"
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] j101399j:
Something to add to the OP; you can now also disable most stock apps.

I know this worked on some of the ICS roms, so I just looked and verified that even though you cannot uninstall some of the bloat (without root), you can disable it . For example, I can disable Swype and install Swype Beta now. I hate AT&T Navigator, so I disabled it. If it cannot be uninstalled, disable it.

(settings --> applications --> all --> select the app and uninstall any updates --> disable) kinda like freezing the apps without root

Apps I disabled

City ID

Device help

Media Hub

Polaris Office

Swype

Yellow pages

YPMobile

Yahoo finance

I'm sure there are more, but these are the ones I hate

Okay, so I got one of the leaked ICS ROMs back in May (version 6.14.84.XT912.Verizon.en.US, build date April 26). I have been staying on it even though the official OTA is out because I didn't really see the need to upgrade at first. Now it has gotten almost too buggy to handle (lost root, and cannot re-root with any method, GPS takes upwards of 10-15 minutes to lock, phone goes through phases of being INCREDIBLY slow to where it is pretty much impossible to use, battery life is getting significantly worse (on a MAXX, only getting about 12 hours out of a charge), etc.).

Does anyone know a safe, relatively easy way to update to the official OTA version of ICS?

Since we now have the fastboot files for .211 all you have to do is flash the files located HERE using RSD Lite or an alternative flashing method. Then you should be on .211 and be good to go.

Ahh! Just did it! Worked perfectly and didn't even have to factory reset! Now running the OFFICIAL ICS ROM! And it solved my problem of not being able to root (I am rooted now!)
