I actually ordered that as a temp solution. I am thinking I may be able to avoid a case, but I at least want to be able to protect it while it is in my bag.
[Galaxy S III General] hinhinxx:
Just discuss

my opinions are, S3 is more ugly tbh

and there are not many huge improvement from S2(unlike S1>S2)

so i m still stick with my S2 now

as i think it is still very useful and the size fit my best
[Galaxy S III General] IamIrene:
not worth to change, just wait and get s4 or note 2

S3 is leaps and bounds ahead of S2. I upgraded and don't regret it for a second.

NFC is incredibly useful, you can set up NFC tags to perform tasks, for example one in my car enables Bluetooth, turns the volume up to max and starts spotify :)

[Galaxy S III General] dr.m0x:
Exactly, he isn't even posing in the development forum so he's allowed to talk about stuff that isn't related to development.

The s2 is still a great phone and holds its own even compared to the s3. If you can afford to upgrade it's worth it for the screen alone but it won't be a life changing experience.

The s2 will still be perfectly relevant for the next 12 months though so there is no point upgrading if you don't want to spend the cash.

The only reason I got one is I became frustrated with the limited storage capacity of the galaxy nexus. If I had an s2 I may not have bothered and now that I have an s3 I may just skip the s4 and get an s5.
[Galaxy S III General] juliano_q:
In your position I would wait for the next Nexus to be released. The hardware will probably be close to the SGS3 with stock Android.
[Galaxy S III General] JS_racer:
my wife and i went from s2 to s3 phones, HUGE improvements!!! now at what cost, and if its worth it based on that.

she loves the improvements, so do i. very pleased. sure there is a quirk or two, but overall very pleased.
[Galaxy S III General] dr.m0x:
Did you ever consider English may be his second language?

I did not get the impression he was knocking the s3. He seems to be on the fence about upgrading and had found some reasons not to. Still undecided he comes here to ask for opinions from those who own the phone.
[Galaxy S III General] danteoo7:
S2 still rocks...

My brother have s3 but I don't see any reason to upgrade s3 from s2
[Galaxy S III General] aydc:
I went from S2 to S3, so I'll give you my opinion:

- S3 looks much better to me. I generally prefer curved phones to rectangular ones. I have the so called blue version, which actually is gray and looks much much better than the pictures on reviews.

- S3 is actually easier to hold in your hand because it's curved and it doesn't have any thick parts like S2's bottom.

- S3 has a much larger screen without having a much larger case. It still fits in my pocket and can be used single handedly, so the extra screen size is all good.

- S3 has a much faster camera. Zero shutter lag makes a big difference.

- S3 has the best battery life I've seen in a phone. I torture it all day with heavy use and when I get home I still have 40%. My S2 had to be charged during the day.

- S3 has the best GPS I've seen in a phone. It's amazing how fast and accurate the GPS is.

What's not better is:

- S2 is just as fast. Extra 2 cores on S3 add nothing to real world user experience. Ignore benchmarks.

- Wake up lag is still here. Damn you Samsung. How hard can it be to make a phone that wakes instantly? Everyone else does it.

- Physical home button is still here. It's still an ergonomical fail. Actually the home button on S3 is even harder to use than S2, so navigation bar with soft keys is a must.

So, in short, I think it is a worthy upgrade from S2.
[Galaxy S III General] dr.m0x:
If that was directed at me thanks for the suggestion, I did consider it, but I'm not sure I can spend another nine months limiting the amount of music on my phone in case I want to record a video. Sadly it looks like Google will never produce another device with a micro sd slot as they are all about the cloud these days. If everyone in the world had unlimited data that would be great but we don't so I'm here.
[Galaxy S III General] juliano_q:
Well, so I think the SGS3 is the best option for you. I understand your point, here in Brazil mobile data is also slow and expensive, I suffer less with this problem because I work at home and I am almost always on wi-fi.
[Galaxy S III General] ruianast:
yes it is

that i have no reply ;) my mother as a nokia 3310 and for her it the best phone in the world :)

in all i just like to say that it depends on the person that is buying the phone.

several friends of mine would trade in a heart beat.

i for example like the design but several pple like you don´t.

so if you have a phone that suite your need´s you should stick with it

p.s sorry for bad english

[Q] I/O Scheduler - NOOP or SIO ? I know there has been speculation that this is a negligible difference in overall efficiency, but I have been on SIO and it seems less efficient than NOOP ? Is this something anyone else has experienced ?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NYLimited:
NOOP is ideal for solid state devices, like SSD, RAM drives, phones, tablets. Not so good for traditional disk drives.

Having said that I wonder if the difference is noticeable without benchmarking..

Alrighty... I've been searching for a way to change the carrier name on my device. You know where it says "Sprint" on the stock lockscreen and in the notification pull down screen.

The only thing that comes up that's close is this thread in the Gnex thread and it's for 4.1: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1739839

I don't even really care about the lockscreen, I use WidgetLocker for that. I just want it for the notification window.

What do you want it to say?

You have to decompile the framework-res.apk, edit the eri.xml to what you want it to say and then recompile the framework-res.apk. if you tell me what you want it to say I can make one for you that is compiled and you can just drag and drop into your framework-res.apk

Mine says my name ha
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SouthPhilly:
You the man... That would be awsome!!! I have a minimal knowledge on decompiling and compiling so if you wouldn't mind hooking a fellow up...

And real quick... Would I just follow the same install method as in the thread I linked to???

I just want it to say my email address: "chefrobmiracle@gmail.com"

Sent From My Galaxy10.1 Class Starship....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
umm as far as I know, no you would not. You will need the to open the rom with winrar go to >system>framework> and open framework-res.apk go to res>xml> and drag the eri.xml that I will upload to this post over the eri.xml that is in there. Also make sure to just open the rom, not extract it because if you do you will break the signature on it and it wont flash.

Then flash the rom over what you currently have. You will have to do this process for every rom, at least until CM supports custom carrier names like in CM7, as far as I know its a CDMA thing. I noticed the rom you linked to is for jellybean so it might be easier in the future but this is whats needed to be done for CM9 on the E4GT for now.

i have rooted my sensation (EU).. it is unlocked bootloader with s-on and hboot 1.27.0000 and when i tried to install unofficial ROM it instaled via recovery but freezes when it reboots from recovery...

and now i cant use my phone and i dont know how to unsolve the problem...

please help
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
Did you download 4ext recovery and enable smart flash ? Did you download the required 3.32 firmware?

I believe s on requires smart flash each time you flash a Rom. Also 4ext recovery is needed. Hope this helps, I'm s off so I flash a bit different than you but I believe this will help you.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
follow this guide to the letter then flash the rom again ....(for all adb commands in the guide you can skip them ..as you cant boot now ...and the adb commands are used only to take the phone to bootloader ..which you can do it manually)

or to come out of the stuck screen first

try the extra 1 step present in the above guide

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] saggybaggy:
Hi everyone,

I've searched the web and cannot find an answer to this, so looking for help...

My X10 had a sound option, vibrate option and silence option. This worked for me because I set all my email to vibrate when the phone was on vibrate only, and at night I'd easily switch it silent so there would be no noise, period.

The Ion vibrate options are "always, only when silent, and never". I don't want the email to vibrate always, and if I silence the phone, it vibrates which causes the phone to go off at night when I get emails internationally. I don't want to set it to "never" because there are times when I'm in a meeting I just want to be alerted to an email without a notification sound.

Am I missing something here? Sorry about the basic question, but I cannot for the life of me figure this out!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] saggybaggy:
Ah, found out it's a thing from 2.2 on. I downloaded some apps that work around the issue. Thanks!

Hi,

my girlfriend just came back from China with a P1000 from her friend. As the whole device was running on chinese language and for some strange reason it was not possible to enter System Setting to change the language, I decided to flash her the latest firmware and just make a fresh start. (i'm a flash veteran on my SGS since 2 years, so I know how to use Odin)

I downloaded the P1000XWJQ8 from Sammobile, fired up Odin and flashed the new ROM with repartition enabled.

The procedure went through without errors:

<ID:0/003> Completed..

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 1 / failed 0)

<ID:0/003> Removed!!

<ID:0/003> Added!!

At the end of it the device didn't auto-boot as expected, it just stayed there with a black screen!!!!!!

Disconnecting and reconnecting it triggers in Odin the REMOVED and the ADDED lines but nothing happens.

I cannot switch on, cannot go into download nor recovery, the device just seems to stay dead :-(

My next idea was trying to pull the battery but apparently the battery is glued to the casing, so before I do more damage, I better start asking here.

Hope someone can help, my girlfriend will kill me if I can't repair this damn thing...

EDIT: after having closed Odin on the PC I tried to connect the device again and it started to play the startup song and Win7 started to install the new drivers from the new firmware. 7 out of 9 found drivers installed correctly, 2 instead failed.

But nothing changed to the vegetarian state of the P1000 :(

EDIT 2: now, after 12 hours wait, the device doesn't do anything anymore when I connect it to the PC, no USB connect, no sign of adding it in Odin. It seems like the charging mechanism doesn't work anymore either. The deivce appears totally dead.

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Cyberguycpt:
If you bought your phone from Bestbuy and live in Los Angeles near the Wal-Mart on Crenshaw you can price match and get the phone for 148. You should try to go to a bestbuy near that location are you might run into problems. Store must be near your bestbuy and have them in stock. I actually got lucky because the charged me 148 total and gave me back 90 dollars.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jeffhesser:
Everything seems to work relatively well with my current unlocked device on ATT. Only problem is data seems kind of patchy (speedtests show it just spiking and dropping like mad, have to hit retry frequently when loading pages or surfing the app store, etc). I am using the ATT APN settings based around the wap.cingular stuff that seems to be the most common. I average around 1mb speeds so my question is would I benefit from finding a different radio for this setup? If so which one should I try?

Device is running the Darkside venom ICS build. Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] elesbb:
I plan on going to a straighttalk sim. Which would be off att (that's the sim I want) and I'm going to keep the ice cream sandwich kernel on it ulve1 I believe it is. I would NOT flash an att radio. I believe that would brick it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jeffhesser:
yup

I guess i'll just keep on cruising along. It seems to work alright but if there was a way to squeeze more power out of this bad boy I'd certainly take it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
False, you can interchange between SR and herc radios kernels and roms. Just don't odin anything.

Btw to op. Sell your herc and buy a SR for cheaper + using LTE = profitx2
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] elesbb:
Not according to mr vlad.. which makes sense cause of LTE. Plus for me i cant get anybodys LTE where i live.

Unless the Herc ignores the LTE frequencies using that radio?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] noneone:
I didn't think the ST plans supported LTE, so SR on ST isn't any benefit over the T989?

To the OP, you might check out here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1676966

Folks are posting tmo and att ST speeds. There's an off chance someone from your area may have posted att speeds for you to compare to.

The op is on att that's why i directed it to him.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
Got a bit confused on what you were saying but yeah herc doesn't pick up the lte freq. Our device is missing the chip for it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] elesbb:
But one can still flash an att radio and the Hercules would ignore the lte? Or would flashing a sr radio brick the device?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] noneone:
OK, why do folks have an interest in flashing skyrocket stuff onto the T989? Just get a carrier unlock from TMO, get an ATT or ST ATT sim, and pop it into the T989, talk away. What am I missing? What does the SR have that the T989 doesn't?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
SR radio does not

Brick the device, they're interchangeable. Herc does not ignore lte. They don't even pick it up.

For faster data and stronger signal you want an att radio which is design to optimize those bands.

SR has LTE. other than that they're identical
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] noneone:
Anyone got any experience / data with this? The T989 seems to work just fine on ATT with stock radio, doesn't seem to need an SR radio. I thought the bands were identical.

Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] alphadog32:
You can probably get HSPDA+ which is equivalent to the speeds in T-Mobile.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
its ymmv, the stock radio can pick up H+ on AT&T but for users who have slow data, flashing AT&T radios helps. Unless you're just trying to prove me wrong or something.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] yongh:
Where to Dl the AT&T radio
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] noneone:
Trying to find some data. Something like "on att with tmo radio I get 2 MbS download, but same phone on att with att radio I get 4mbs".

I know that different combinations of radios and roms can improve reception in some areas.

I also haven't seen anything that indicates the MAGNITUDE of the difference.

I get that sometimes, maybe, if you're having trouble with your current reception, you might be able to get better reception if you flash some other radio. (from your current carrier or a different carrier)

BUT some folks think that they should almost routinely flash their T989 to an att radio if they want to use it on ATT. I haven't seen it help at all on my phone.

So my question is two fold, what is the MAGNITUDE of the difference, and, how OFTEN does it make a difference. I was hoping someone had some data on that.

Thanks!
