But avast can disable the USB access and will install in system files and even has feature to make it flash proof if using cyanogenmod roms. If have a Sim..will detect if has been changed and notify you of new Sim info to start sending commands to

That's better than others

Android is updating...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HeliumX10:
Yeah, it is better than others because IMEI sim detect and hidden anti-theft.

But, it can disable only usb debugging, which is not used for flashing. In flashmode only kernel and few native executables are loaded, but not android or dalvik machine itself. So you can enter flashmode and flash any rom even with avast installed, on xrecovery its the same, but after system wipe it should work also (but not sure...).

Anyway after flashtool flash it will format and overwrite whole system and nothing could prevent it.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Veruvir:
Galaxy note atolen too

As a person who has had two phones stolen I can tell you one thing - there needs to be a password on the use of flashing.

First I had a galaxy note, which has Samsung locate. But hardware reset saw to that.

Second I had a CSL Spice, knowing about hardware reset, I set about finding an un resettable program. In comes avast (brilliant though it is).

Two criticisms, first is its method of retrieval. Sms. Yes, sms. The thief has thrown your sim card in a bush, but in order to remotely access your phone, avast smses your sim card. Classic. Try it, steal your own phone, or get a mate to, it's so tragic its funny. Go on, back up your apps, take out your sd card, and be your own thief.

Second issue, obviously is flashing. Avast hides on the partition, but this is wiped and remade based upon your new OS. Bye bye avast.

So really there are two key solutions: password protection on the flashing access. Set by the user, changeable only by those the user gives it to (engineers/new owners). And the other is set a hardware code like IMEI on accessing not just a phone network, but also Google Play registration, and Samsung /other apps registration. That way the code can be flagged by the owner.

Actually thirdly is an email address which appears upon failed flashing password attempts. To remind the thief that he can still take the brick of plastic and metal (and gps) back.

I'd like all new owners to be informed of what to do upon loosing their phone, codes to note down etc. As I feel this is not done enough. I'd love to start a push to get Samsung and other droid phones as well as Google Play to start this and maybe we can finally end phone theft.

I called my friend from my rooted incredible and it said I was roaming. I looked at the settings and it said I wasn't... so is this just an error or am I really roaming because I cannot afford to have roaming charges.

I have verizon coverage, but with my rooted incredible it says sprint on my roaming settings.

Right now my roaming settings are automatic.. other options include sprint only, roam only, and automatic
[General Questions and Answers] Alpha120:
Well, go to Settings -> Phone status and you will know which network you are connected to.

If the roaming setting is disabled, it should not connect to another network.

Btw, if you provider is Sprint, i would select "Sprint only" just in case.

[General Topics] Alpha120:
If you do nothing, it goes straight to boot Windows??

If you are using GRUB, press and hold SHIFT during boot, the GRUB menu should appear (worked for me at least).

If still not working, make sure you installed GRUB.

There is a freeware app (DiskInternals Linux Reader) which you can use from Windows to mount any Linux partitions (read only) and check if everything is there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] b_android:
Hello, i want to change yakjuxw to yajku.

I got Galaxy Nexus Toolkit V7.3.

Which options should i use?

3.Unlock bootloader and then 9. To download and flash factory ROM

or something else except that?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Arthur Hucksake:
Here is the guide that I used.

http://leemn.wordpress.com/2012/02/01/galaxy-nexus-upgrade-to-official-roms-yakju-build/

Scroll down to where it starts talking about Fastboot. The guide was intended to update to 4.02, but it still applies. The file names will just be a bit different.

Shows you every step, every adb / fastboot command required.

Here's where you get the image you need.

https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#yakju

You learn more this way. Better than one click methods.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] b_android:
any possibility of hard brick?

can i flash official 4.0.4 or even 4.1.1 over 4.0.2 on phone with this method?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] b_android:
the guide you gave me

says to flash bootloader-maguro-primekk15.img but i only have

bootloader-maguro-primela03.img - another ending, i think thats because i downloaded other rom(only 4.0.4 is on google site),

can i flash this over 4.0.2 on phone? do i have to change other names accordingly?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] knudsen81:
Yes thats the only thing you need to do, to get yakju on you phone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Arthur Hucksake:
Like I said in my post , the file names will be different because that guide is for flashing 4.02. It's just that the same rules apply.

Aslong as you have the new radio, bootloader etc you will be fine. Just type the commands to suit the different file names.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] knudsen81:
the easy way is to use toolkit
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] b_android:
Okay thank you, and about drivers - i don't have to instal them since i have installed and used Android SDK(it contains drivers, right?)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Matt08642:
But you don't really learn anything with a toolkit
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] knudsen81:
No whats right, i know have to use cmd to do it, but for a newbie toolkit is the best way to do it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Matt08642:
I tend to feel the opposite. For someone new to doing all this (very much like I was a week ago), it's best to research and do it manually and learn exactly what's happening each step of the way.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cokewins:
Do you have to add a new line or extend a contract of an existing line to get the free phone?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Paging Dr B:
Yes it's not really free. You need another line with a data plan. You can either upgrade an exiting line that's eligible for an upgrade or you can add a new line that has data.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] AxAtAx:
Exactly, what pisses me off about T-mobile is, once you sign a contract, all the specials for free this and free that are over, they are only out to get NEW CUSTOMERS only. I been with them 8 years now, but I find myself upgrading every 2 years, and almost paying full price every time, and I always ask them, well if I end my contract and re-sign, can I qualify for the special...they reply, Oh no sir, you can't do that. What a crock.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LegionCmndr:
does the deal apply to making a a full price outright purchase of a gs3 and possibly getting a gs2 for free?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mustk1ll20:
you most certainly can cancel and resign. This is what me and my brother have been doing for years due to prices being better for new customers.

Cancel over the phone with customer care. Pay what's left of your bill. Wait for phone to be turned off. Go into T-Mobile pick out new phone and plan. Proceed to jump with joy!

Can I buy one galaxy s3 for 600 and get one for free
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ebatr8:
This applies to upgrades too and the only reason you can't get it is if you signed a contract for an upgrade already and your not eligible for upgrade yet meaning waiting 22 months after your upgrade. If this upsets you then you should get real you can't get a phone subsidy then get another right away there is always a time to wait no company hands out discount after discount.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Crisisx1:
no i dont think so. at the bottom it says if you buys a s3 you can either get an s2, blaze 4g or the other phone for free.

i would of done that too, 2 s3s for 600??? hell yea lol

The keyboard hinge was poorly designed because one of the side doesn't match the level of the other.

Basically buyers are assuming the combo they're buying is indeed genuine TF700 mobile dock so it was advertised with inclusion of mobile dock and doesn't tell you which one they'll sell it to you, and afterwards you realizes its the TF201 mobile dock although it works with TF700, it's color mismatches, it's design also mismatches, and doesn't fit properly as it should.

One side is a little bit higher than the other side when you fold the two together right side of the tablet partially touches the keyboard and you can imagine the rest.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Super-S:
checked it right now...and i have also a TF201-Dock (shipped with the TF700).

Colors are the same, and it fits perfect.

Im Happy!
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
I have the TF201 dock as well, as it shipped with the TF700T. The color might seem to mismatch a tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiny bit, depending on the angle of light incidence, and the mismatch in the pattern engraving doesn't help there -- nothing obvious, though. I can't fault the fit, however, as it is perfect. Nothing is touching where it should not, and all is smooth as butter.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pickle3782:
I just got the Samsung Galaxy S3. So far I love it..... Except for the fact it has the locked bootloader. All my Androids have had full custom roms. I just like the user experience of AOSP much better.

I am an average or below average power user. Yesterday I took my SGS3 off the charger at 6am and with above average use all day (I was setting all my email and apps up and a few video google talk chats), and was able to make it till 11pm before the device shutdown.

With the SGS3 having a locked bootloader, and not knowing if there will be a workaround to get me a AOSP rom running, I was thinking about returning this device and getting a Samsung Galaxy Nexus.

Is the battery life really as bad as I am reading?

I am north of Boston and not in a 4G market yet, and even if I was I would most likely shut 4G off for the most part.

Should I hold out in hopes of a bootloader unlock workaround for the SGS3?

Thanks for any responses.

I'm content with the battery. One charge gets me through the day with what I do and want to do. When I'm home, I always have a charger to use so I only need the battery to last 8 hours.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mobilehavoc:
If battery life is important to you then check out the Power Saving mode on the GS3. You can activate in Settings or in the Notification Drop-down. Among other things it downclocks both the CPU and GPU. The phone feels noticably slower in some tasks but it can really stretch out the battery if that's what you care about.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tsnstuff:
Would I get rid of an SIII for a Nexus? I don't think I would. I love my Nexus and I love the fact that I'm already running JB, but the SIII is one nice phone.

As far as battery life, just the other day I had done 12 hours and it was down to 59% on my GSM Nexus. That was probably a little bit less activity than I normally do but still fairly normal. No video calls or anything like that though. But even with that, for me I've always found that I can get great batteries and chargers from Amazon for cheap and I always carry an extra battery with me just in case. I have one in my bag (gadget freak so I have my gadgets bag), one in my car, one at work. They hold a charge for a very long time too so it's not like I have to be charging them all the time.

What I haven't been able to easily find for the GSM Nexus is spare original batteries. I could easily find those in Amazon for the CDMA one but not the GSM. I like using my NFC and the spare batteries I have do not have NFC :(

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blackplague1347:
So long as you're talking about the GSM Galaxy Nexus, OP, the battery is praiseworthy. I bought a GNex from the play store shortly after learning that Samsung would all but abandon the GS2 with regards to future OS updates now that the GS3 is out. Battery is pretty much comparable, I'd say. I managed about 1 day and 10 hours on a charge a few days ago, with 3 hours of screen-on time or so. Some of that time was spent using turn-by-turn navigation as well. I think I put it back on the charger with 8 or 9 percent of the battery left. Friends who have the Verizon Galaxy Nexus report very different results when it comes to battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] live4nyy:
From what I have gathered from the OP he mentions that his SGS3 has a locked bootloader which probably means he has the Verizon version. I would think he wants comparisons to the Verizon/LTE variant of the Galaxy Nexus in terms of battery life, not the GSM version.

The reason I bring this up is that, from what I have read in the forums, the GSM GNex is far better on battery life than the LTE version so it would be an inconsistent comparison.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MikeyMike01:

hi guys!!

I rooted my 2 months old Samsung galaxy ace plus.

After that i installed Titanium backup and started uninstalling after keeping the backup of many google apps from the systemapp list that was useless for me.but after that My google play stopped working.

I tried to restore those apps but titanium backup hangs up everytime.

I tried many stupid things of which i wasn't aware and bricked my phone but somehow managed to get it back by flashing the corrupted rom by googling.

But now I want my phone to be new as . most importantly the google apps and google play.
[General Questions and Answers] Alpha120:
I had this issue with my SGS+ and solution for me was to flash another ROM. I searched the app in the Play Store and seems that app was "incompatible" with my device. This has someting to do with the rom itself.

I would try wiping play store data and cache and see if this works.

If not, wipe cache and dalvik-cache could help.

But if you really want your phone as new, I think you should flash stock rom for it.

Anyway, good luck!
