I've asked this question time and time again and no one has yet given me a answer. I can only assume no one ever cleans there internal memory :confused:

Anyway the best way to totally clean your phone Ive found is to flash back to stock then go to recovery (stock recovery) select format/wipe from there ;) Stock recovery wipes all of "/data" unlike CWR

Hello everyone today im gonna tell you how to install Ubuntu inside windows without messing up your partitions or your harddrive!

What is Wubi?

Wubi is an officially supported Ubuntu installer for Windows users that can bring you to the Linux world with a single click. Wubi allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu as any other Windows application, in a simple and safe way. Are you curious about Linux and Ubuntu? Trying them out has never been easier!

How to Install Wubi/Ubuntu?

What we need is:

- http://wubi.sourceforge.net/

Installing WUBI

Click on the download button and Run Wubi Installer and follow the installation progress from inside Wubi you can choose Your disk space that you will choose for your Ubuntu Installation! and some other options like languege etc...

Reboot Part:

Now after you chosen that click next and the installation will begin let wubi do it's work, after the Download have finished you can choose from Reboot Now or Reboot manually later! I recommend the first option: Reboot now so go ahead and click on that!

Booting into windows FIRST:

After your PC is done rebooting you see a boot menu popping up there are 2 options Windows and Ubuntu What we now will do is choose WINDOWS FIRST! so boot into windows first windows may run a disk scan this can take a time depending on your hard drive Space, after windows is clearly booted up without any problems, go ahead and reboot your Pc again

Installing Ubuntu:

After the reboot is done And you are again in the BootUp menu Choose ubuntu now and let it start-up you see alot of stuff going on now after some time you will be welcomed to a installation screen of ubuntu click on install now and follow the installation procedure after the installation is done reboot ubuntu and you will be bringing back to the boot menu again choose Ubuntu and let it start-up after it's started up Ubuntu may ask for your password that you have set-up type in your password and log-in.

Congratulations you have installed Ubuntu!

You can now enjoy and figure out ubuntu

How to Uninstall Wubi/Ubuntu?

Shut down your pc if you are in Ubuntu if you already in Windows skip the ubuntu shut down part In Windows go to Configuration Panel and click on programma's after that search for ubuntu or Wubi and left mouse click on it and click on uninstall! so was that easy or not!

Greetings Safariking
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] coolsandie:
WUBI is included in that ISO file right? So is there a need to download it separately?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] safariking:
Your right sorry
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] coolsandie:
No need to say sorry pal :D

And, please check the link, you have removed the Ubuntu download link.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] safariking:
Yes because you said that you do not need it
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] coolsandie:
Actually, the link you've now included is just the 1.40MB sized WUBI installer.

The Ubuntu disk image specified here : http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop has the file WUBI already included inside the ISO file. So downloading this is what is needed.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] safariking:
Installed using only the Wubi file and it's working amazing!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skuzy:
Hi

Just wondering if its possible to hey the sgs notification tones on the sgs 3?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S III General] azeter:
its been almost three days that at times i am not able to browse on my s3 and none of the web related apps work i know pretty strange.

so today i decide to take my s3 at a service centre in crawford market mumbai .i explained that guy wht the problem is and he told me he will flash the handset to which i gave a nod.

after the flashing the issue got resolved but then again it started and at that same moment i got a notification for software update THAT guy over der told me" dont do software update orelse again u will face the same issue there is is no need for software updates".

i was freakin stunned wen he told me this and i told him hey r u serious do u know wht u talkin and i told him u mean never do a software update on this phone just to keep this thing working and he said yes coz the software updates overwrites a few important file which i dont even use and bcoz of that this data issue happens .

finally i asked him y dont u simply put ur sim card in my cell which he did and then my data connection started workin fine and i also got that Hspsa thing i simply had to replace my faulty sim card. .guyz can u imagine a service centre guy talkin like that ??? regarding the software update thing huhhhhh....
[Galaxy S III General] Sormus:
There does exist ****ty service reps everywhere, not just Samsung. Some service desks pretty much just hire the first people who apply for the job and then run them through "If customer asks X, give answer Y"

One of the Nokia service centre people I worked with always maintained that the N70 sluggishness is due to the software and I should just wait for the next update. Which never came because they stopped making them for the phone, ages ago.
[Galaxy S III General] disclaimernotice:
The thing about emerging markets, like that of smartphones in this case, is that there simply aren't enough competent people in the necessary fields. Your story as well as the stupidity involved in awarding overly-general patents are clear examples of this.
[Galaxy S III General] Simonetti2011:
It's been said: "stupidity and hydrogen are them most common elements in the universe".

and then Einstein enforced the idea: “Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

But my favorite quote is this, and this really applies to the service desk guy who serviced your phone:

“Stupidity is the same as evil if you judge by the results.”
[Galaxy S III General] esist:
Not surprising. I always find, by far the most frustrating part is not that you know more than they do, but that they're not even smart enough to realise you know more than they do, even though to a third-party looking on it would be blatantly obvious. Or that continue to treat you like a buffoon asking stupid questions like "Did you try restarting your phone?"

My experience with 80% of network sales reps and staff, and manufacturer/service centre staff has been this. I'm always actually amazed when I, by chance get a staff member who, when I say something like "The phone loses signal when I move from one cell to another", actually knows what that means.

Also, if it was a SIM problem, then I assume you didn't test it on WiFi first? It's customers doing things like this that allow such incompetent people to keep their jobs: the vast majority of people going in will doubtless have some sort of "problem" that can be fixed so easily, that they can simply skate by on common sense, instead of actual knowledge.
[Galaxy S III General] azeter:
Trust me they r totally insane dey care a big f for the customers and think dey r freakIn too smart .such d@@@@k h@@@s
[Galaxy S III General] bala_gamer:
damn its India! :( i expected this once i read the title. Not only in india , many countries have the same problem, most of the customer care people are dumb. ITs time for samsung to train them or recruit people with good knowledge.
[Galaxy S III General] logan2194:
Dude to tell u d truth. These people at d service centers knw ****. I hav a problem wid my camera(a black mark on every photo). I told d guy to check d lens. but he says d lens is fixed to d sensor. But i saw a video dat d lens is attached to d body. But he luks at me lyk a nut as if doesnt knw nythin.:laugh:

[Galaxy S III General] MemoryController:
Dude no, it's legen...... Wait for it... Dary, legendary
[Galaxy S III General] electric0ant:
lol, yeah being a technical person it's often really frustrating when the service center person know less than me and I have to explain the issue and the solution to him and tell him what to do.

but seriously the Indian call centers don't get a bad rep for nothing, so I'm not surprised that in person they're still just as incompetent.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] imsuperjp:
The past 2 days, my phone has been going into car mode when plugging it into a wall charger. The first day, it would go in and out of car mode until the s voice crashed. It kept doing this till the battery was charged to 15%. Last night, my battery was not that low, but it would make that car mode noise when i plugged in the charger and unplugged it, even though it wasnt carmode on the screen. Anyone else have this issue?

btw welcome to XDA-Developers forum, BioT3rm :)

[HTC Wildfire S] Tigger31337:
First, ya gotta remove Rosie.apk (I notice you didn't) or else you'll always have Sense launcher available on the ROM.

Then, just copy your Go Launcher apk into /system/app (or /data/app). Do the same for all the custom apps you wanna include in the ROM! Don't forget to set permissions and you're all done.
[HTC Wildfire S] EdikNeznanov:
If you want you can use launcher ex without deleting sense. Just mark it as default. If you still don't want to leave sense you can delete it or just start your rom with naked android or CM.

[Galaxy S III General] NaimC:
Mine was ticked by default after the update. But you have to click the icon during a call to activate it. I can confirm it even makes speaker calls louder too.

Fabulous update by Samsung. Lots of fixes and nice little extras.
[Galaxy S III General] theonlyanil:
deleted?
[Galaxy S III General] theonlyanil:
yes. exactly...
[Galaxy S III General] Guest69:
Thanks

I wish there was a similar fix for the volume output for media. I use an xmi mini2 speaker for my phones & it's much quieter than on the s2 or any other media device I use it with.
[Galaxy S III General] theonlyanil:
Same same same here... I also have x-mini 2 speaker and found that the audio output is too low on S3 as compared to my BB curve 8520 (loudest yet).
[Galaxy S III General] rafianrafian:
Is there a way to enable extra volume without tapping on that button which crops up only after you're connected to the other end on a call?

I don't like the idea of tapping that button after every dial-in. In general the S3's volume is low for all purposes (music and calls).

I really wonder, why didn't Samsung ensure that the S3's volume matches the volume of a $10 Nokia phone?
[Galaxy S III General] sunil10007:
i have already used this feature
[Galaxy S III General] theonlyanil:
1st OMG? Which is $10 mobile from Nokia? 2ndly, Sadly No. You have to tap on that button everytime. May be in next updates.
[Galaxy S III General] theonlyanil:
that's great. u pro :)

The problem is, this button doesn't remain as default on next call on Lollipop 5.0.1.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chiragkrishna:
on htc phones, we needed to flash baseband, radio, roms separately and the dev clearly states that so and so radio/baseband is recommended for the above rom,...

my question is, in here there is no such recommendations from the devs,...

so does the rom for example omega contain both radio and baseband?? so we just need to flash the rom and we are done???
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
Which HTC phone you had, may I know?

I thought there baseband also means radio.

Yes, you for S3 you have recovery, baseband/radio, and from

You can flash them separately just like in HTC.

Any rom package can contain rom plus one or both of the other (or none, just rom)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chiragkrishna:
yea sure my last phone which i used for custom roms was HTC sensation,...

sorry i mean the firmware thing,...

so i just flash the latest Omega rom or any other rom and there is no need to flash any new firmwares??? coz the OP doesnt give much info about the recommended firmware to be installed,...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mopral:
Yep!

And if Omega rom include a modem (radio) that does not work well with your carrier, just flash another modem

wow... ^^^^ was no help lol.

im curious how many changes were actually made since UCLF5 came out 2 weeks ago. Id venture to say it would be a very minor tweak considering the name change is now UCLF6 and most the other jumps have been completely different names. Dont think theres a reason to jump ship until source code comes out and devs get there hands on it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SKyRocKeting727:
STABILITY and maybe the task bar is longer in recent apps. That's all I really noticed. Id say GPS is better at locking on location. Other than that...if you don't feel those are important enough...wait til the devs get a shot at it.

Yesterday I went to staples and played around with some 10" tablets, and also with one 7" tablet. I noticed when browsing the web it was clearer in the 10"...

My question is, many of you probably had either one of'em.

What is the pros and cons when it comes to screen size?

Ps: this is the first tablet I bought.
[Nexus 7 General] razorseal:
I have 7" kindle fire and the 10" xoom

xoom is clearly easier, because of the size.

it's like comparing samsung note net browsing vs nexus 7 net browsing.

bigger screen for browsing always wins.

the key is to find the median between portability and pleasurable viewing experience.
[Nexus 7 General] biohazrd51:
I've messed around with 10 inch tablets (ipad, xoom, etc) and found them to be too big for me. If I were to carry around something of that size, it would be a laptop.

I've been using my Nook Color with GB/ICS for over a year now. Found that the 7 inch size is perfect for me. Large enough screen where I don't have to hold it 6 inches from my face, but small enough that I don't feel it needs to dominate my attention.
[Nexus 7 General] cpalmer98:
I had an eee pad 10 inch and found it too heavy. i think 7 inch will provide a much better balance between weight, convenience and features.
[Nexus 7 General] goofball2k:
I have had both (Playbook, Iconia A100, Ipad 1 and 2). Each have their purposes. For web surfing, I do like the 10" better, the 7" is just a tad too small for my liking (and my wife).

For video, they all work for me. I prefer the 7" as it is less obvious when i'm playing a video while in the office working. Also easier for my 3yr old son to hold in the car on longer trips. On trips, the 7" pretty much becomes my son's and the iPad are for the wife and myself.
[Nexus 7 General] Galactic2:
I had a 10" xoom. For browsing it was fine, but portability sucked. I barely ever wanted to lug that cow around.

Sold it for 220 (minus fees), so only had to pay about $86 for new N7
