Some people like change some don't but since its newer, most things developed will mostly revolve around the newer OS. Some apps don't even work unless you have ICS. Things such as hardware acceleration for the UI makes things smoother etc.. you'll just have to read this to see if these changes pertain to you, if not you can just keep using the older version.

mmmm I'm sticking with gingerbread for now until I see that app I really want and need to install ics for it. Thanks guys, I hit the thanks meter for all that helped.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] RuffBuster:
Personally if it ain't broke leave it alone... Though i used to be a hardcore gingerbread user, i have been converted to ics. These days ics has come along way and is still being updated as we speak, and has come to a point where its very usable with very little bugs to speak of if your using a popular release. ics has alot more eye candy and a few performance and interface tweaks depending on which release your using.

I must say that ics feels o so smooth compared to gb but my only gripe is the battery life, my guess about 5-10% extra usage compared to gb.

If your phone is working fine leave it, because ics is only really user interface change. Though I'm a flash freak and can't help trying the latest and so called greatest.

Backup your rom and give one a try if you're really interested. These sort of topics go on forever with everyone having their own thoughts on this.

Hi, I'm sure I'm beeing a n00b but I had my phone rooted and I just updated to the latest firmware via KIES and now I have the Kernal Version XWLPI and I can't find any instructions that I understand on how to get rooted agian. When I had a different kernal version there were heaps of tutorials and now I'm not sure what to do.

Any help would be much appreciated. I have the NZ version of the phone.

A Google search for your exact thread title ("How to root XWLPI") would have returned results that would work for you.

But here, I'm feeling generous. Go to the CF-root thread. There is an LPI kernel there, and instructions are in post 1.

If you don't want to replace the kernel, this works as well (and can be reversed quite easily!):

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] thegof:
Ok, This isn't so much SGSIII specific, but it'll be a major use for my new toy, err, phone once it arrives. The standard google email app in ICS isn't all that great (based on my CM9 usage on a tablet), and it completely sucks if you happen to be off-line, despite having tons of storage space available.

So, does anyone have some recommendations? Primary desire is support for:

1. Exchange (2010). Ideally the ability to go out and search for older emails not stored locally, actually download attachments ahead of time and store them (WinMobile 6.5 could do this, why not Android), search (localy cached) emails while off-line.

2. Support for imap with similar off-line search and attachment downloading

The current email app works ok except for search. I know I'm tained by some of the easy features in the WinMobile email app (can you tell I'm upgrading from a Touch Pro2 :D ) Of course, the benefits of Android have had me running Gingerbread on the TP2, but that doesn't mean I find all the apps great.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] balto:

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] xeni:
I briefly used the HTC One XL email app and that was far superior to the one that comes with the S3. The biggest issue for me is that I am unable to select what folders to sync to my phone.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] LudoGris:
Maildroid only does WebDAV, it doesn't use ActiveSync which is the one most Exhange Servers use.

Enhanced Email. Well worth the $
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] thegof:
Thanks all. Taking a look at Enhanced email (there's a 7 day trial version). Looks pretty similar to the base app, so still feeling out the differences.

Any others? Another feature I've been hunting is a calendar viewer that will grab the attachments that people put into meeting invitations :(
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] ronin4740:

What's wrong with the stock mail app on the GS3? While not quite as good as the one on the HTC One X, it's up there and everything works the way you expect. You can even set it to show images by default, unlike the stock ICS app. It's similar to the Samsung e-mail app in Gingerbread with a few subtle changes and has a way better interface than Touchdown.

I have never had issues with Samsung's email app.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] tgmorris:
One thing I noticed today was that mail that has already been deleted from the server is still retained by the email app. The app on the Nexus would delete those automatically.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] greyhulk:
I just tested this. I deleted 2 emails from my Gmail account through my PC Web browser and watched them disappear off of my GS3, right in front of my eyes. We're talking not even 1 second.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] LudoGris:
Not the gmail app, the email app.

My only issue with the email app is how slow it is compared to many others - including the GS2 email app. Not only that, but every time I hit the home button from the email, everything has to refresh on my home screen. Gets old to watch everything refresh.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] greyhulk:
I'm talking about the email app. I have Gmail set up as an activesync exchange account, so all of my mail is in one place. My work email account behaves the same. No issues.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] inmnbob:
I hate all of these. I am an extensive Exhange user and tried all but went back to stock. Each has it's strength and weaknes but the way Touchdown stores contacts and the outdated interface didn't work for me. I wish we had the Htc One email client and spell checker because it is far superior.

Is this an app than can be separated from Sense?

Aqua mail is nice

Hi, today my play's digitzer crapped out :( The bottom inch of the screen has been unresponsive in the past but has evetually began to work again.. Today it just stopped the top half of the screen works fine. I'm guessing it's a faulty digitzer. My question is do you think I should replace the digitizer via a 3rd party company or do you think I should go to o2? I have an unlocked bootloader (testpoint method) I know my warranty is void but do you think they'll pick up on it?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SayWhat10:
can someone point me to some car chargers, that have dual input(able to charge 2 items at the same time),but i need that full 1amp power so i can keep my note charging WHILE using it

thanks in advance

OEM chargers preferred
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mtucker:
I haven't come across a dual USB charger that will put 1A into an Android phone out of the box. If you don't mind buying a USB cable that has the data pins shorted (so the phone recognizes it as a dedicated charger), then the Griffin Powerjolt dual USB car charger (1A each port) is nice.

http://www.walmart.com/ip/16940656?adid=22222222227000891117&wmlspartner=wlpa&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=&wl3=13695927550&wl4=&wl5=pla&veh=sem

The Note will only charge at about 1/2A until you use cables with the data pins shorted together (I shorted the data pins inside the charger).

It looks nice (almost like in came with the car since it sits about flush with your dash). I can confirm it can put 1A into the Note (using Current Widget).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tizzy:
So it's not the car adapter that's not putting out 1A, it's the USB cable? If I were to use any car adapter + charging USB cable, my GNote would charge at full rate?

Also: how do I know if my USB cable is strictly charging or charging + data?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mtucker:
The charger has to be capable of putting out 1A or more for our Notes. If the voltage regulator inside the charger can't put out >=1A, then having the data pins shorted won't do any good. But if it can put out 1A+ and you don't have the data pins shorted, then the Note won't draw the full 1A. A lot of car chargers capable of 1A+ don't have the data pins shorted. I have read some people have luck with a OEM Motorola (1A out of the box) and I believe there is at least one Rocketfish charger (sold at Bestbuy) that gives 1A out of the box (although it only has one USB output). The problem is most chargers are meant to be compatible with iDevices and don't try to comply with the USB spec.

Most likely the data pins aren't shorted on any cable you have. Even if you have a charge only cable, it is probably just missing the data wires (not shorted). A few guys at work were buying cables off Ebay that were purposely made to have the data pins shorted. There are a few threads here on XDA (in the Note sections) that discuss various chargers and the need to short the data pins together.

Here is a discussion about a dual USB charger and charging Notes in general. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1720992

I just bought this off ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170834845305&ssPageName=ADME:L:OU:CA:3160

It's a dual port, 2.1A and 1A output, I guess the device draws current as needed?

---------- Post added at 01:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:37 PM ----------

I bought a bluetooth FM transmitter, and it came with charging cables. I know they are charging cables because it doesn't work as data transfer. Do you think the pins are shorted, or the wires are absent? Any way I can check?

but can you point me to where to find data cables (power cables) that are already shorted though?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SayWhat10:
i used the voltage widget(as he mentioned) to check and see if it puts out 1am

just download/install the widget,plug into phone, and see what the widget says

if its 5,000 or less, then its running at only .5 amp

i see at least 9,000 (though it should be 10,000 or so) when 1amp is running
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Jim Dead:
If you don't want to cut into a cable and solder, you can use:

http://www.amazon.com/Smart-Adapter...UTF8&colid=7NRVJS6JI4DY&coliid=I3TYTQBSNKZ4GK

With shipping, its kind of expensive. I ordered a few (shipping costs the same as for 1) and put one in the car because, without it, the cable I was using only charged at 500 ma.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SayWhat10:
thanks but i already tried that

it worked great for about a month (full 1amp) but now its conked out on me

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kietur:
So he wanted me to root his Samsung Galaxy SII and I did that and threw the first ICS ROM I saw on there. So I flashed Neutrino ROM on his phone and it worked fine and I noticed that he had no contacts.

Well I was like crap! And went to put it into recovery and restore the nandroid backup I had and it was bricked when I turned it off and I couldn't turn it on.

So I eventually fixed it and it's on some stock firmware but he still doesn't have any contacts.

I copied his entire Internal SD card to his computer, is there any way to recover the contacts?

I only learned after I deleted his phone that he had all of his contacts stored on the phone itself and not through google or his SIM.

I think the answer is "impossible" but if there is any chance I could fix his phone that would be cool.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akatosh:
' fix his phone ' is not the right term in my opinion.

What you could try is just doing an advanced restore of the nandrois backup with the data while using a STOCK rom but seeming as though I've never had this problem I'm not sure that it will work.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kietur:
Wrong ROM

I tried to reboot into recovery and the phone stopped working and became bricked. I finally flashed a ROM on there with Odin but now the back and search buttons don't work and he can't make or receive phone calls.

I know it was the wrong ROM but I can't find the right one either especially for Odin restores.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] postfatal:
Is your brother more physically developed than you? If so I recommend buying him a new phone and going around all his friends and getting their contact numbers. If not, pretend like he never gave you the phone and call him crazy.

Honestly, your explanation of the problem, like most threads, sucks. Nobody can help you unless they know exactly what you did, just try and restore the backup you made. You made it in CWM right? If you can't make or receive phone call though, that sounds like a worse problem. Wipe the phone and flash a stock ROM, that's the best advice anyone can give with the information you've supplied.
