Coming from OG Epic. This is my first release day phone since I had the Blade and it came as advertised for me. Better GPS, better signal on top of the good signal I was already getting living in DC. All I need now is for Sprint to throw on the LTE switch!

Welcome.... haha
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] batt105:
I think it is in the top three no doubt. I have the Sprint version and my house is spotty for making calls. With that said, I think the SG3 radio is worse than my previous phone the og EVO. I do like the speed of the SG3 and I have no complaints about touch wiz. The phone itself does seam vunerable to breaking, I walked around like i was carrying a piece of china before I put my case on it. I did run out and buy the otterbox commuter case as soon as it came out and am please with this level of protection. I am was impressed. with the previous post about the torture test.

lame test, saw it. I can do the same with a 69$ Galaxy Gio.

Look how many people already cracked their glass... she was lucky.

And btw, my Gio went in a lake for 10 minutes and is working perfectly now. If you know what to do and you are quick enough, you can save any phone from water damage.

OK, what's your source, can you provide a link? And if Supercurio is under the impression that the phone has a Wolfson DAC, I am inclined to believe him!

I find myself just unlocking the screen and messing around with no intention...that's how good this phone is
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] babymatteo:
my unbiased opinion

Sorry to say, but the best android phone to date to me is the Galaxy Note. There's no comparing when it comes to how beautiful the screen is on the Note. I love watching BD rips on the go, so this is mainly my reason for choosing the Note over the S3.

Software wise, the HTC HD2 is still at the top of the list.

MT4G

ReZound

SGS3

Out of all my phones, build quality has been sub par on the HTC's. Why because you can see the lights from the capacitive keys on the display and if you look down on the phone there they are. Whoever decided to put that ridiculous lip around the ReZound screen is a moron. Not that the screen looked good anyways, compared to any Galaxy device I've used.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InevitableDJ:
hi guys,

I got my S3 about 3 weeks ago, (a noob in android) i recently flashed the rom to an unbranded version because i hate the bloatware but one thing i noticed is that my ram is really high on the device and when scrolling through the homescreens there's sometimes a delay in response or goes to the next screen with lag. when i go to task manager my ram is always above 500mb of 779mb. Even when i clear the memory it goes down to about 400 but then comes back up.

what could be the issue. don't really have anything running in the background. i did download go keyboard and go sms pro but I'm pretty sure that is not the cause of it. it even happened when i had the branded version of the firmware installed.

any ideas?

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slking1989:
Go software is very laggy. But yeah I have very few running processes and have high ram usage. I don't know why. It was the same with my s2. But I'm not sure y your laggy. Mines a beast :)

Wipe cache?

it I do ever get laggy I just hold home button and swipe to end background running processes

Hope this helps mate.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InevitableDJ:
thanks for your response mate,

Ive tried wiping cache stopping useless processes but even after that its still quite laggy and when i swipe to remove that even lags... pretty bizzare
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
RAM usage is supposed to be high. Please read the link in my signature. The lag must be something else. Possible drawing issue on whatever launcher you have.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joefrog1996:
The GPU may not be very good on the sIII, the GPU controls video, scrolling, animations, ect. But my guess would be that its just a badly coded ROM. Go on the forms for that ROM and see if its a common issue.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InevitableDJ:
thanks that actually makes sense about the ram, however its a stock touchwiz launcher would that make any difference? but yea its possibly drawin issues... anything to solve this with?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slking1989:
Did u have problems before you flashed a new Rom? Did u flash a stock unbranded Rom? Or a custom Rom?

Honestly don't know mate..

Could you perhaps be looking for fault. I mean have you come from another high quality phone. I haven't had any problems so far. I have not heard anyone with the stock Rom having problems.. obviously it's gonna have some bugs. But I haven't heard of this one mate. This is the fastest phone I've had.

Try Google it..

Sorry I couldn't help mate

Have you tried:

Setting animation speed to 0.5 from 1.0 in settings/ development?

Enabling gpu rendering?

Setting maxheapsize=128 mb (from 256 mb) in build. prop?

Clear both caches, reset permissions, reboot

Also, removing all bloatware helps

How do I set the maxheapsize? I and reset permissions?

Sent from my GT-I9300
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsw5700:
you need to be rooted, edit /system/build.prop using root explorer or es explorer (the /system file system needs to be mounted read/write first)

you have to reset permissions from cwm (clockworkmod), again this needs root

So I restarted the phone again and it didn't give the problem again and the movement does seem much better now thanks for that. I so know it comes to my next question that when you I exit an app the home screen redraw, and this is why I'm wondering why is my ram usage so high when I'm not using much I can the background or not using any launchers. I'm using beautiful widgets super clock screencast button and spanner month with a live background surely those can't use up 500mb ram can it?

[Motorola Droid RAZR] lovebirdko:
Good day, i'm new here.

I have a rooted Motorola Droid RAZR XT910 using doomlord. Last sunday night, i received a notification that i can upgrade my device to ICS which all of us we're waiting. Upon my first attempt to update, i failed, so i tried to unroot it using doomlord unroot, then failed again. Root using motofail and failed, unroot using doomlord again, then factory reset (wipe format); wipe data and wipe cache. But upon downloading the OTA ICS it always keeps me saying "The software update failed" right before the mid part of installation then it showed an exclamation mark.

I made several factory resets and i know my phone is no longer rooted but everytime im installing the OTA ICS it keeps me always saying The software update failed.

Any help is very much appreciate.

Btw, my current GB version is 65.1.40.XT910.PSHAsiaRetail.en.03.

You performed all the no-no's. Installed cwm, tried to flash international rom, and at low battery. I don't think you will be able to charge it with enough power in fastbot without a factory cable. What you can try is boot into fast boot relock, and try to flash ruu. Hopefully you will have enough juice to last through that. But other than that I don't know what else to do.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] liquidzoo:
Question:

Does anyone know how I would add a 1% Battery Mod to AOKP prior to flashing the ROM?

I've seen several flashable mods, but I want to know how to add the mod so it's there when I flash the ROM. I don't know if I can just replace the PNGs and the XML files or if I need to mod the AOKP XMLs (or, for that matter, if AOKP already has a 1% mod, though that's unlikely since it doesn't have the 1% PNGs)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] orlandoxpolice:
Doesn't aokp have custom battery icons with number percents built in?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] liquidzoo:

my razr is on asia retail (it came with that, no root) and i started to download the ics update and i have a few problems

1. i cant see a progress bar

2. i chose wi fi only and whene the wi fi goes off it shows me a notification that the download stopped, but when i turn wi fi on it doesnt go away (by the way how can i change it to download over 3g and wi fi?)

3. its stuck on 2% for over 3 hours! (i can see that only on the notification)

what can i do? :confused:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Sedariya11:
buddy its becoz moto servers are overloaded.. i have been downloading it since 9 am and its still at 87%.. You cannot change now to 3g as there are no options to change..you need to be patience till its downloaded completely. All the best!:o
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ipansky:
that explain the slow download but why there isn't a progress bar?

and why the notification about not downloading because there isnt wi fi doesnt go away when there is wi fi?

does it download when the notification is visible but there is wi fi?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Sedariya11:
No it will only update if notification shows "Downloading Updates".. Try hard rest: Press volume- &+ & power button for hard resetting.. It will work but agan will take some time to start.. as i have been doing it all day and now at 90%..
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ipansky:
I hate this...

still no progress bar...

can i cancel the download and start it again later?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Sedariya11:
No u cant do that..after downloded the update its not installing saying update failed! I hate this..

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thepce:
Hopefully you guys can help me out. I'm suddenly having issues with my phone not being detected by my PCs when it is connected via USB.

When i plug my phone into my PC, i receive the error message: "UBS Device not Recognized One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and windowes does not recognize it." from my Windows XP PC. My Windows 7 PC is unable to recognize the device plugged in.

The strange thing is that even though my phone is not being recognized by the PCs, the phone will still charge.

The phone is not in USB Debugging Mode, and I've gone ahead and flashed 2 separate Kernals on my phone, but i still am having this issue. I have tested this out with 3 USB cables, on 3 separate computers (Work (win xp), Home (win7), and friends(win7)).

2 Days ago the USB worked fine for me as i was able to flash Franco Kernal and JB onto my Gnex, but suddenly it's not being recognized by my computer anymore.

Stumped.....Hoping that this isn't a hardware issue and something that i can fix without having any downtime away from my phone.

Any thoughts?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kraleksandr:
Try other USB port and other USB cable.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gunthy`:
Sounds like you're missing some drivers... Remove the device completely in Device Manager & plug it again. For MTP, Windows 7 should find the drivers online by itself. If you need fastboot access, you'll have to download the seperate drivers for that. I'd recommend the GNex Toolkit in that case since it comes with the drivers included (you'll still need to install them of course :))
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thepce:
Thx for the reply,

Yes, I have been using the GNEX tool kit, though not the 7.3 version that was released today. The 7.2 version was being used at home and on my work PC. I usually install the drivers from the toolkit then plug my phone in when done. The drivers have been recognizing my phone but not since 2 days go.

I'm currently trying to find the MTP checkbox in the phone Settings to double check if it's checked, but im having problems locating it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gunthy`:
Go to Settings > Storage > tap top right menu to display USB computer connection option & tap it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thepce:
Ah yes, that is where it was hiding....But unfortunately the checkbox is checked.

This seems like a hardware issue, but I'm not certain since the phone still recharges when plugged in
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gunthy`:
Could be... Charging doesn't necessary have anything to do with data transfer AFAIK... Do you see something in the Device Manager when you plug it? You might have to right click & do a re-scan to force detection.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thepce:
Device Managers shows "Samsung Galaxy Nexus ADB Interface". The drivers look to be installed.

Also another odd thing, is that after i charge my phone and unplug it from my PC, it will continue to show that it is charging on the lock screen and in the top right corner of my phone. However if i go into Settings ---> about phone. It shows Battery Status : Not Charging.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gunthy`:
You get that when the phone is running normally? I think for me that one only shows up when I put it in bootloader mode. In MTP mode it's just a media device like any other AFAIK... I'll check tomorrow when I'm back on my Windows laptop to be sure :). Have you tried putting it in PTP mode? If so do you see the device as a camera or is it the same issue?

Sounds like a software bug, but I'll admit it is a bit strange considering your main issue...

Hello i have a question too on Usb subject. forgive me for go off topic over here is there anyway to get my music be playing in the car radio tru usb with my first google phone it worked like a charm model Htc google nexus one just plugged it in en voila music came out..but with the gnex won,t work thanks in advanced :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JediNinjafication:
Google galaxy nexus nfc battery. either the battery or the port is shot. People having issues.

And get your drivers from Samsung and Android sdk. Qbking77 has a YouTube video on how to set it up.

Android is upgrading...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gunthy`:
Basically the way the Nexus One talked to other systems through USB is completely different from the way the Galaxy Nexus does. The GN uses a new protocol called MTP. Your car stereo probably can't read the files on your phone because it doesn't have MTP support.

Phantom Charging Issue

So I've gone ahead and Fiddled around with my phone for the past day trying to fix my USB issue, and I've discovered that this issue may not be due to USB issues.

Throughout the day when i was playing around and trying to fix my USB recognizing issue, it miraculously started working again. Now I am able to connect to my PCs and transfer the desired files.

Upon this issue being resolved, i noticed that periodically the screen would turn on, on it's own while being off in the locked state. I observed this issue to see what may be causing this, and it is turning on due to my phone thinking that i plugged my micro USB cable in to charge it. The charging indicator on the batter flips on, and even the USB Debugger / MTP Notification is present in the notification drawer.

Apparently this is a known issue with the Battery or charging port with Gnex's. (See below the 2 youtube clips for more details for problem/fix.)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47PIdXf25X0

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KD6yYLnO6ig

I believe my warranty is void since this phone was purchased in a different country and has had the bootload locked/unlocked a million times. Anyone else have this problem that they have been able to fix manually? Or am I going to have to cross my fingers, ship my phone to get it fixed, and hope the post man doesn't f**k up?
