[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Xalky:
Ok, so i just rooted my sprint gs3, I'm not sure but i think that the sprint OTA update should be disabled. Or is that just if i have a custom ROM? If I need to disable OTA how do i do it?

FYI:I used the GS3 toolkit to root and selected Option 3, which is "everything at once" option. if that makes a difference

I don't want sprint to screw up my mojo.:cool:

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] johnhazelwood:
You can use Titanium Backup to freeze the updater app. I have an AT&T phone and the updater was called AT&T Software update or something similiar. You can probably find one called TMobile software updater or similar and freeze it. I could easily tell I froze the right file when I had the update notification in the notification bar at the top, as once I froze the right app the notification disappeared.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] das7982:
Using a root explorer go to

System > etc>security > otacerts.zip

Rename to otacerts.zip.bak
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Xalky:
I just froze "sprint Installer" in titanium. Will that not work? Or is it better to rename the file as you just said? das7982

I unfroze "sprint installer" and instead renamed otacerts.zip to otacerts.zip.bak

Thanks for the advice. Will this only affect the sprint ROM?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] sicclee:
I just disabled 'sprint installer' in the app manager. will see if notification comes back up.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] TokedUp:
I remember reading some where that doing this to block ota actually makes it worse because disabling/renaming that file makes the phone continually download the update and not be able to install it. Draining ur battery in the process. I could be wrong but I would look into it more.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] kman79:
What's the update app called for the Verizon Model, id like to freeze it as well
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Xalky:
If that's not the right way to do it, then what is?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] TokedUp:
I'm not saying ur wrong relax. I would like to know this too.

We have to edit text in the build prop. Once the ota drops we can compare the build props and using the text editor in root explorer we can change ours to the new one to trick the phone into thinking it has the new ota.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Xalky:
It wasn't my idea, it really doesn't matter to me who's right, i just want to know who's right, so i can do the right thing on my phone. Maybe they're both right, maybe they're both wrong. Just trying to verify.;) One says to disable sprint update, the other says to rename the OTA file. My thought was that renaming the OTA file might be better because it's deeper in the system files. Ether way, they were'nt my original ideas.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] flonker:
I froze the app and am still getting the notification. Haven't renamed the file yet. Kinda was waiting for a confirmed method as well.

You're talking about the update patch, right? Problem is I don't want the update at all. People are reporting poor 3G performance and I only have a sliver of a signal the way it is.

Not LTE speeds but nice 3G speeds here in Delaware on the FH05 modem
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Crashless:
I have been testing along the 110/10 route from Pasadena to Santa Monica this last week, and things seem to be slowly ramping up.

The downloads have averaged around 6-9mbps and I've gotten as high as 31mbps. So quite a range, and the places it spikes are fairly consistent. So I suspect certain towers either have better backhauls than others, or have just been installed and troubleshooted a little longer - so they're more stable.

Either way, about 30% of that route has a very solid LTE connection on my Galaxy Nexus. Not great, but a nice start, and about a 100x improvement over the 3g speeds I have been seeing.

Portland

Just my $.02 worth,

Portland just got partial LTE 2weeks ago, though it comes in and out at my apartment in Beaverton. It's odd, ill have full bars of 4g, then it just disappears. Either way, I've not seen a speedtest.net test of over 5.5MB down from my sgs3
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swazey:
Sprint LTE speed - Boston area

Sprint LTE speeds in the Boston Area. Download does spike over 20Mbps, but usually stays in the 15Mbps range. Upload is consistently around 7Mbps. Battery life has been fine, I'd rather get less battery on LTE than not being able to stream music on 3g...
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] ferris2375:
I'm coming from a GSM Galaxy Nexus. I loved that phone...I mean it was borderline weird how much I loved that phone. lol Anyway, I like this phone more. It's blazing fast, the hardware is better in every regard...it's just awesome. Which is why I find it incredibly annoying how sluggish the recent apps menu is. It's sluggish when it comes up and the screen fades, and swiping apps off the menu bar is just sort of sluggish and not fluid like it was on the Nexus.

I've tried it on my friends Int version and on my AT&T version, it performs the same on both. I'm curios if anyone else coming from a Nexus notices this?

I don't know why it bugs me so much (first world problems) but it really just seems like it should be fluid considering how much faster this phone is that my GN (on ICS, sold it before JB)

I actually just remove all apps when I use it just so they vanish fast and I don't have to witness the slow animation of swiping apps off the screen. Unlike my GN it does seem to swipe the apps off faster based on how fast I use my finger, but it still doesn't have the fluidity that my previous precious had.

Just ranting, chime in if you want.

You have 45 days to open a buyer protection case, so no worries there. Just buy from a reputable seller and you're good. If you put it on a credit card, you can always do a charge back.

My brothers phone got into a bootloop for no reason, I can't acess the phone at all. Tried to wipe cache and dalvik via recovery but still no luck. I charged the phone so it wouldn't die, did a backup via recovery (I hope that is enough because I can't acess the phone to make a backup via titanium) what should I do now? I tried to re-install RC5 again without factory reset but I can't get past the ICS startup bootscreen. Suggestions?

Thanks.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] AlwaysDroid:
Down super one click v2.3.3. Put phone in USB debugging and go! Easy!

Also if you are comfortable, flash a rooted kernel like cf root of semaphore with Odin as PDA. Then it will have clockwork mod also :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alokcool13:
It would be good if you could tell which official ROM are you running then i can help you with the root
[Galaxy S I9000 General] GalaxySN00B:0:
The easiest and quickest way is to download a program called Odin on your Windows PC (its everywhere just search it on google or something) and then download a custom kernel, i.e. Semaphore and then flash it. (if you dont know how to do this then it should tell on the page with the kernel) This literally takes 10 seconds. I used to use all the one click root stuff but its garbage, it takes ages to root and if something happens during the process then you will have a phone that wont boot. I generally advice to stay away from them :p the way i mentioned prob sounds hard but once you understand it, it is really easy. And if your phone ever goes into a bootloop or "soft-brick" you can use Odin to fix your phone...

With the new OTA ICS that was released today, any way to disable the camera sound?

Note, I am not rooted.

Any help will be appreciated!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gtuansdiamm:
Root

Delte the files and than unroot
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
Short answer is NO.

Some of the camera sounds can be deleted if you're rooted. You could then unroot.

BUT you'll still have that anoying autofocus/save sound. That is built into the APK in ICS.

If you want a truly silent cameral you'll have to root, remove the camera.apk and camera.odex. Then extract a truly silent camera (there are many ROMs here with completely silent cameras) from one of the ROMs and push (copy) it to the system/app folder on your phone. Set the permissions RW-R-R. Then reboot make sure the camera works (you must reboot! and wait for the camera to load the first time while it builds a cache).

If all works then 'unroot' and you'll have a stock phone with a truly silent camera.

I've heard the voice on the demo, it sounds really good:

Mine sounds rubbish, it sounds to me like it is using the old TTS service, basically a female version of Steven Hawking's speak'n'spell.

I've reset the device and erased everything, still it sounds the same.

The odd thing is that in the settings page (Settings>Language & Input>Text-To-Speech Output>Listen to Example) is a different voice again (male this time). It sounds better than the female one, but still ropey compared to the youtube video above.

Any ideas?
