[Galaxy S III Accessories] codemansGT:
I purchased the illusion and just got it today, its nice I like. I'm excited to see how it works out. It would have been nice if a hole was added for the led and that the case that the phone came out. That aside I don't care much in my wallet just 3 cards so it works and it looks nice. As a bonus I have my locked screen disabled and tasker set up to lock and unlock my phone via the proximity sensor. Ill have to see if running the sensor all the time is a drain on my battery or not. Thanks to the OP for the review it helped in my decision.

just ordered one of these.

everyone still happy with their purchases?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nosferatu.:
As the title says...what's the strongest charger? I've noticed my current one when using the GPS with navigation even with it plugged in it'll still lose battery life. Current model I have does 750mA. Are there better ones out there?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gsrrr:
There are ones made for tablets that outputs 2.1A. Not sure how much our phones can actually draw from it though.

EDIT// Per Entropy
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nosferatu.:
right my problem is finding one that not only draws 1000mA and uses it. I have one that when I plug it in it'll say AC charging and on the unit it says 1000mA but it obviously isn't doing it's job if I'm losing battery life while running GPS navigation in the car. Short of me buying a bulking inverter for the car so I can plug a wall outlet plug directly into it I'd prefer to find a USB to 12V that works right.

I briefly thumbed this thread to get a bit more educated but still no luck on finding a product that works...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] thanitos:
his edit says 650 on wall outlet 400 on USB no matter how big a unit you buy you'll always get 650 Max. Lower brightness and only have the GPS going
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Miami_Son:
I have the AT$T-branded car charger and when I was using the phone for nav I had no issues with over drain unless I also was streaming Slacker or Pandora at the same time. I now have a truck with built-in nav, so I no longer use the phone for that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nosferatu.:
my concern is because I just got a Passport 9500ix and I'm using the live cord so it requires the screen to be on, bluetooth on (which is on anyways for my handsfree), and a GPS signal to be on.

I normally don't use GPS either in the car as I have a built in nav for my vehicle.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Miami_Son:
I use mine with BT in the car and streaming Slacker with the screen on constant and I never turn off GPS. Have yet to have a charging deficit issue with the aforementioned charger.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nosferatu.:
well the LiveCable had a USB port on it, plugged it in, and says Charging (AC). :D

Let's see how this thing holds up I'll re-post in this thread if there's a problem. I'll try it's port instead of my current socket which is not sufficient.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Rrryan2:
Per another recommendation by Entropy I use SetCPU to limit the cpu to 800 MHz when the navigation app is active. There's still enough power left at this state to allow the phone to build a slight charge if plugged in, or to limit battery drain if it's not.

The simple reality of the situation though is that nav consumes a ton of battery. Running the screen, rendering the maps, running the gps, downloading the maps over cell data etc. all at once consumes a lot of power on any device.

In situations where the battery is getting very low but I still need to use the navigation app I also sometimes just turn off the screen and rely on the audio directions. This helps limit power drain quite a bit.

I wonder how much current he official Samsung car dock supplies?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] foister82:
I still have a motorola rapid charger from a while back. You guys know much more than i do im sure, especially with the mA pull but ive never had drain while running GPS with brightness on high on my motorcycle.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nosferatu.:
interesting about setting CPU down when running navigation! I'll have to try that.

Well the good news is with a combination of the stock USB cable plugged into the Live cord for the radar I'm actually charging now while using navigation (slowly but it's charging). Full brightness though it'll either hold steady or drop maybe 1% in 45min or so. Anything but high brightness and it'll charge.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Samsung car dock just uses whatever its input is. The phone treats it the same as an AC power supply - 650 mA limit regardless of what the power supply capability is.

Interesting note: The power supply's method for signaling a "dumb charger" becomes irrelevant on official docks. All the phone knows is it's docked and it has power, it assumes an AC charger. As a result, power supplies that are intended for iDevices will get detected as USB (400 mA limit on I777) if connected directly, but AC if connected via dock.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Rrryan2:
Recent versions of SetCPU make it really easy to set a profile that triggers automatically when the nav app is started. Well worth the $1.99 price of the app.

Hmm... I confess I haven't paid close attention to it lately, but if I remember right if auto-brightness is selected the screen automatically dims between turns but then ratchets up brightness when a turn is approaching. Maybe setting auto-brightness might handle the issue for you...?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nosferatu.:
-as for SetCPU I'm running that setting now. Once or twice SetCPU has been granted superuser came up while running (fine with me it's doing it's job)

-as for auto brightness I'll try with it later. The software Escort uses is a proprietary program and not directly google's maps program (although it does use it's maps).

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tmckenn2:
you could always flash siyha kernel. it has a setting in ex tweaks to set charging currents. you can up it for all of the devices so usb smart and dumb chargers all charge at 650mA though that might damage a pc usb port... just be careful. and the hardware limits it to 650mA, no more, a lot less
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nosferatu.:
I do have Siyah kernel any link to a thread about this or a quick how to? I'm sure if I played with it enough I'd figure it out but since you're familiar with the subject I figured you'd hook me up! I tend not to play with these types of tweaks too much on my phone... :good:

I have the OEM Samsung car charger. Thankfully, I can have GPS on while plugged in and the phone still charges up, albeit slowly, but it certainly doesn't drain.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thelandon:
Verizon offered me any 4G phone on their network today sure to issues with my current phone. Among the phones the rep offered me were: Incredible 4G, Droid Razr Max, Galaxy S3, and the Galaxy Nexus. I went with the latter.

I enjoy AOSP roms, rooting, etc. Did I make the right choice, or should I have picked a next gen phone like the Galaxy S3?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SpungeWorthy:
I would say galaxy nexus for a rooter

Check this out.. great vid youtube.com/watch?v=zk2CUO8ycoU&feature=youtube_gdata_player
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CanesDrew:
Seriously? Do you enjoy the phone? Then you made the right choice.

****.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] turdbogls:
For AOSP and rooting..... Nothing beats a nexus. Would have been a tough choice to pass up the S3 though..... But i probably still would have done the same as you did. After having other phones, nothing beats a nexus IMO
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phatmanxxl:
Best phone ever. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] got556:
I think you definitely have the right phone.

With that said...I think you should have gotten the S3. Sold it for $500 (would have made a quick sale at that price) then picked up a Gnex and profited $250. :p

That's just me though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephoneguyusa:
Hands down the best phone I have owned.. I regret trading my first one and plan on keeping this one until the next nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sleek69:
You picked the right phone but I would have grabbed a gs3 and sold it for ~$550 then bought a new or like new nexus and bagged ~$200.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wirelessFREAK:
Depends on where you live. Generally skipping on Verizon and getting the GSM nexus would have been better, IMO.

If I were to stick to Verizon, I'd get a RAZR Maxx. The s3 is great compared to most phones. Motorola makes crappy software, but you're a rooter/rommer, so that wouldn't matter.

If you look at the bigger picture, all the phones above are great, so just enjoy.

PS, Dont forget the VZN/Samsung extended battery, you'll need it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] got556:
Moto makes crappy software? Moto puts out probably the least Manufacturer bloated software out of any of the big names. Plus they do SOAK tests and actually take input from their users/testers (and anyone can do it, you don't have to be a somebody that knows somebody).

But with all that said...locked bootloaders suck.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] convolution:
honestly, s3 ain't that much improved over gnex. it's just super friggin overhyped.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] biscuitownz:
Isn't he on verizon?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllenConder:
Only one thing bad thing about this phone that bothers me. Speaker, i know about V+, but even with that its still the worst

I recommend a Nexus because its never meant to be a "flavor of the month phone". If the you like the specs, and you know how to use this site. Then you will love it till your next Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] got556:
VZW does have the GS3...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] biscuitownz:
As in buying the s3, selling it, and buying a nexus. Wouldn't he have to activate the phone on verizon?

I'm not sure how verizon works when it comes to switching phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] atifsh:
skiping S3 is strange, coming from S2 international one 2 daysago this phone lags so so that i cried :), than the buttery smooth came and now its like my S2 with CM9 / official 4.04 roms. yes S2 was really fast.

but now im started to loving the phone, was never a custom rom guy, using cm9 was only custom i ever used. :)

now my 2 grypes.....

no stock t9 in dialer

volume of external speaker is dead mute :) was'nt loud on S2 but but surely better than this.

on otherhand im glad the video it takes has no frame lags like on S2 in low light.

Something is wrong with your gnex...if you find it slower than the old gs2 running buggy cm9

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] strumcat:
If it was a choice between an S3 and a GSM gnex, I'd rather have the gnex. But if I had to be on Verizon, I'd probably take the S3. But either way, you got a good phone and shouldn't worry about it.

galaxy nexus / cyanogenmod 9

lg mytouch q / stock rooted
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pjodor:
I come from a Samsung Galaxy Spica (I rooted and installed custom roms alot) so any new phone would be an huge improvement, but I really like the Gnex. At first I had it original unrooted and I was a bit surprised when I finally rooted my phone that it was as easy as it was. I don't feel like I could have gotten a better phone atm.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] humdrum2009:
Sprint and asurion must be having a bad day. sprint store manager told me to report phone as lost since they didnt have another gs3 in stock.

stupid me bricked it flashing all nilly willy.

with the help-of a fellow xda member unbricked called to cancel asurion claim, they said its too late we are sending you another phone.

so im paying $150.00 for another gs3

and this one is still activated seems silly ,they cant even change the claim to found or whatever and since it was reported lost i actually cant return it , The system wont allow me too.

so ill have 2 sgs3 hmm this is stupid something tells me these phones dont cost as much as claimed.

:confused:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rwright64:

Sounds good to me as long and the original esn is good... Should be able to sell the new one for much more than $150

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] il buono:
Since they may not change it to found it may have a bad esn once the replacement ships, but even then it could still be sold for more than $150 easily.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rwright64:
I bet they make sure the esn is no good.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jnadke:
ESN will be marked bad since it is reported stolen.

You'll likely get a new one since the phone is so new.

Under the new insurance I think you can only replace your phone 2x per year (or I think 3x per 2 years).

You could donate/sell it to a dev.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] humdrum2009:
reported lost

and i actually tried to do the right thing,but corporate red tape intervened :o
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] irock1985:
But what im saying is that it is currently working right? So how could it be bad esn and activated... Thats why I said sell the new one not the old one. Just speculating but if you keep yoir current one activated with no problems down the line seems like you would be good to go

Hi.

to all: go to this address and follow the instructions:

then install samsung apps or a launcher or everything else...

if you have the same prob again tell me to upload some videos...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osama_talha:
If ur loking for stable HC3.2 try Overcome 10.1 Series. Most stable for 3G GTab but removes too much from TouchWiz.

I would personally recommend GALAXY TASK 14 or Clean ROM 2.0 but only if u have WiFi only GTab.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsar007:
thanx it work

but why there is no updates? :confused:
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arashtarafar:
If you mean updates for android os,Ice cream sandwich and jelly bean have already been released(ICS without camera and JB without anything right now...).

I recommend only ICS CM nightly if you ever want to flash...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jacko2410:
I rely on the tab to take pics a lot, so I cant afford to lose the camera. Clean ROM's developer seems to have moved on to another device, so I think I'm gonna go with Task. Thanks!

Ps: This may sound dumb, but how do you update CWM, and how to install the b00sted's themes here ? I downloaded it but have no idea how. Does it run on stock launcher?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arashtarafar:
you must flash clockworkmod using odin and pc.get it from:

it...flash this too using clockworkmod...

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jacko2410:
Yeah, I figured out how. But dont know how to install the CWM touch, it's a *.img file. And about b00sted's themes, I meant do they run with stock ROM, sorry!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Panos_dm:
In order to install cwm touch, you have to put it in a .tar file and use odin. Or make a cwm flashable zip.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] DD7374:
Hello -- I have the HTC Vivid, and I have been going crazy trying to find a way to get my phone to tether. Now, I know that there have already been conversations that have occurred on this site regarding this matter; however, they mostly involve rooting or flashing new ROM's. This is my first Android phone and, to be honest, rooting my phone or flashing custom ROM's are far beyond my current capabilities and comfort zone. With my previous phones -- most of which were Windows phones -- I was very comfortable making registry tweaks, thus allowing me to tether my phones to my iPod and iPad. I miss that ability, and I'm certainly not going to give up my unlimited data plan with AT&T by adding tethering capabilities to my plan.

Anyway, in my research, my best bet (without rooting or flashing a new ROM) appeared to be the pdaNet and FoxFi apps. Well, those don't appear to work... Probably due to the fact that my phone is an HTC device and they disclose the fact that their apps are incompatible with HTC devices. I have no idea why, and they don't respond to e-mail inquiries asking for assistance or advice. So that brings me here. If anyone can help me, I would greatly appreciate it. Remember that I'm a complete novice with regard to Android phones. Rooting and flashing new ROM's are not options for me at this time. Thank you very much, and I apologize if this issue has been discussed to death in the forums. I just need a simple, user-friendly solution if there is one.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Mjones307:
Try WiFi tether app

Thanks for the reply. I just tried that... As well as many others... But it didn't work. I keep getting that pop-up window directing me to contact AT&T.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Cor-master:
I've tried about every tethering app in the market. I don't think there is a way without flashing a custom rom. AT&T has this thing locked down.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] DD7374:
It certainly appears that way,yes. I just wish Android phones were as easy to tweak as Windows phones. Would I have better luck with an unlocked phone? I have an unlocked Motorola Atrix 2 phone...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Cor-master:
Android phones used to be easier, and alot of Samsung ones really still are. If you get a nexus its real easy to tweak. Tethering is most likely the biggest reason they lock them down. Otherwise they can't rape you and charge you twice for your own data. Seriously tethering is the biggest scam these carriers pull. I know I'm limited to 2 gig either way so it's not like I can use more data with it.

I guess you just have to look at it as the vivid isn't an HTC phone. It's an att phone. HTC is just the contractor that built it for them but most likely att requested all these things be locked down in the firmware

[HD7 General] explisiv:
"◦Multi-core processor support: As reviewers have noted, Windows Phone runs buttery smooth on phones with a single processor. But piggybacking on the Windows core provides support for multiple cores—so we’re ready for whatever hardware makers dream up."

now alot of people have been under the impression that multicore is the minimum for wp8 when i say that is not true!

windows 8 can run on a pentium 4 or intel atom with a single 1ghz then we will see wp8 devices with single cores. the future "minimum spec"

also

"◦More flexible storage: Windows Phone 8 supports removable MicroSD cards, so you can stuff your phone with extra photos, music, and whatever else is important to you, and then easily move it all onto your PC."

the hd7 has a removable storage already. the only way we wont see a port is if the rom is too large for what we already have. this being said and carefully examined they didnt rule it out. but they didnt want to say yes and OEMs cant sell new devices if the older ones keep selling. so they wont "offically bring the update to wp8"

also it is being observed that sdxc cards are working in android phones so storage issues may not be a problem either for us!

here at xda-developers we have been unoffically updating devices for over a decade! so I dont think we are in the dark, our minds have such strong innovative imaginations we can see the light with our eyes closed!
[HD7 General] Magpir:
yes its possible...MS has been testing wp8 on older HTC devices. it showed up in some logs which was recently being leaked on the internet
