[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Messi10:
the one that shows after flashing a new rom or google apps
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gagdude:
If you don't flash Google Apps, the setup wizard won't appear. On CM7, since gapps are flashed separately from the ROM, it doesn't show the setup wizard.

But it depends on what ROM and Android version you are using

[Motorola Droid RAZR] gusbeto37:
Hi all, I have been an avid Motorola User. I started 2 years and a half ago with a Milestone then about 6 months ago I got an Atrix 4G. now I have to renew my contract and they are giving me the option to upgrade my cellphone. I can get either a Razr MAXX, a Galaxy Nexxus or a SGSIII for about 1/3 of the regular price, that would be about $4,000 MXN. It may not be so cheap, but I have the money and I am actually considering it.

Currently I have CM9 on my Atrix and what I do most is listen to music, check e-mail, browse the internet and about 2 hrs of calling per day. Since I got to have my 32GB SD Card, GN is out.

Since I do not really do a gaming on my cellphone nor any other processor intensive task, benchmarks are not a big concern to me. But I do have some things I'd like my phone to have:

Ultra smooth scrolling and launcher

Being able to playback .ogg and .mkv (it is important that it is capable of doing mkv smoothly)

Have the option to swith songs with volume rocker ala CM

Be able to last at least 1 day of battery (something I have troubles with on my Atrix 4G with CM9)

Have a very clear call, to be able to clearly and loudly hear the other side and have a good mic.

So how does the RAZR go against the SGSIII on that? I know that the MAXX is clearly a winner on the battery department and probably too on the call part, but what are your opinions? Is there a way to have the song change with volume rocker on the MAXX? Will it eventually get CM9, or is there a ROM with this feature?

Thanks,

Gustavo
[Motorola Droid RAZR] geekaren:
Hi Gustavo, I can help with call quality and battery. Hopefully other folks will jump in to answer the other questions.

The Razr Maxx is a solid, reliable phone. It's one of few smartphones I've used that:

* Has never dropped a call

* I can always hear the other party (on calls) loud and clear

* The person on the other end of the call routinely hears me well -- no voice cutout or break-up.

Battery life is very good. I generally charge my Maxx every night but could easily go 2 days without charging. That's using 4G/3G cellular data only (I don't normally use wifi).

Hope this helps!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] gusbeto37:
Thanks! It is good to hear that, I am inclining more towards the Razr since I have heard there are some quality issues with the SGSIII calls.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] g_mosh:
I have Nova launcher on my Maxx, it's excellent! Battery life is out of the discussion, I think. Since you are not a benchmark buff, and are already on the Motorola boat I'd say get the Maxx. Got mine and only paid $600.00 MXN, my wife got the standard RAZR and paid $400.00 (They ran out of the Maxx variant). I watch a lot of videos, but never bother to see the type. For music I have Player Pro, love it though I wouldn't know about the rocker button function.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] iolinux333:
I have tried dozens of phones with the primary purpose of finding the phone with the very best outgoing call quality and microphone. The RAZR and Defy tie for the very best currently available, although I don't think the Defy is still in production. Samsung phones are without a doubt absolute crap as far as intelligibility at the other end goes.I have complained about this numerous times, obviously the complaints have fallen on deaf ears.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] gusbeto37:
Thanks for the input, my dad used to have the original latin american SGS and the phone call quality was terrible, I wondered if that changed, but apparently not.

By the way does anyone know if there is a way of doing the volume rocker to change song thing?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tooyoung:
i use a bt headset, se mw600

surprisingly, it is more capatible with the RAZR than with my old xperia,

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drtakhs:
Hey some days ago i downloaded an app called Dock Clock. You can check out the app here . In short, what does that app do is displaying a full screen clock and preventing the screen from going off while docked.

it looks like this...

I've also enabled a setting used to avoid possible burn in which moves the clock around the screen in small "steps" every few seconds, but i am not still quite sure if its safe in the long run to use it as a desk clock 4-5 hours a day while charging...

I am not quite informed with the burn in effect so i need your help here.. :) What do you believe? Will it cause burn-in problems in the long run or its me just being hyperbolic?

Τhanks in advance and sorry for any english mistakes on the post :cool:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
That app hasn't caused any effects on my S1 afters months of usage. It was in horizontal position so the app couldn't really move the digits but still no issue.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michael_P:
You should be more worried about the notification bar because the icons never move and often abuse burn in.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
I have yet to see any significant burn-in on the notification bar either across all AMOLED phones I've seen to date.

It's very faint but for most people even hard to spot on an unfirm singlecolored background.

What most people mistakingly report as burn-in is what's called "lazy pixel" where, due to it not being used very often, it's slower and another luminosity than the rest of the screen. Letting the phone cycle a Dead Pixel fixer app for 30-60 minutes whenever it's noticeable will usually get rid of the problem.

I'm not saying burn-in does not exist but usually either the screen has issues or it's been very,very,very abused to be disturbing.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drtakhs:
I see... i'll take the chance and ask you something else... 2 weeks ago i realised that on the midle of the right side of my screen there is a small area that appears green on pure white background... you can also notice it on blue-rgb and on red-rgb... the color of that area is nearly the same as green-rgb... its shape is curved like a nail and its like 2mm or 3mm long... any ideas? i read that dead pixels (although the area is by no means a single pixel) appear black on white background and everything else its not dead... can it be fixed or at least do you know how is this "symptom" called? :confused:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
It's not really a dead pixel in the terms of the pixel not giving any luminescence, thats true.

However several people already reported that their phone had pixels which were incorrectly controlled (e.g. some blue pixels lighting up on red, ...)

which is usually due to a manufacturing fault which shortens the power-pin of several sub-pixels.

With such hgh pixel densities as the S3's screen has, that is to be expected but quality control should get rid of them.

I'd recommend taking a long-exposure photo if available, enhance it, print it out and go back to the seller. The photo should be sufficient in case they are unable to see it for themselves in a store-environment.

You should however first try a Dead Pixel app even if I don't believe it will fix the issue.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stevenca:
Hello there , just bought a brand new Bell Samsung Galaxy S3 yesterday , wondering if someone wants to give me some advice on what to back up or write down or anything before i go and root my phone and start messing with it. ANY advice will be appreciated!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kswa1987:
not sure...

Not sure what you'll need to "write down" before you start rooting. Just make sure you're really really careful and follow all the instructions for your specific device. Download exactly the right files for your device and carrier, make sure via forum comments that others are successful using your hardware and carrier. As for backups, make sure your stuff is synced and backed up with your google account under account & sync options (this will take care of most things), and if you're worried about losing texts use SMS Backup first. You can't use Titanium until you root. That said, I haven't seen a root method that will wipe anything from your device (unlike the Galaxy Nexus or other phones).

Here is the forum link for the Root method that won't trip your flash counter (according to the post it works with Bell, I have an AT&T myself):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1739426

Again, make sure and download EXACTLY the right files for your device and carrier and follow the instructions exactly. Once you've rooted, you can run Titanium Backup, and if you choose to install CWM Recovery, you can use that to make a nandroid backup to your external SD card before each time you flash a custom ROM. Other than that, have fun!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stevenca:
Thanks! wanted to know if i needed to backup anything other than apps/texts before rooting , like if there was a chance to lose any of my factory bell stuff , etc

By the way , I bought the white S3 and so far like it (been 24 hours)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dannyry1:
One of the things that turned me off and kept me on cm7 was the lack of of capacitive button notification lighting in ICS. Is there a way that this has been resolved on stock without using another CM rom? I am really hesitant to go back to an alpha build because it took me so long to get full functionality from the rom and the phone and work exactly how I wanted it.

Thanks.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b1337:

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 063_XOBX:
CM7 isn't ICS, that's CM9. Also it hasn't been an alpha for at least 2 months, it's in RC1 which is as stable as you're going to get.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android-Junky:
Use Airkernel or Martrix Kernel to enable BLN.(You can use NSTOOLS to adjust the settings).
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dannyry1:
Reread what I wrote. One of the things that turned me off of ICS and kept me on CM7 (I know it's GB) is the lack of notification lit capacitive buttons. I basically want to upgrade to ICS or later (really JB once there is a more functional release) but those lit capacitive buttons are crucial for me as I have the att nexus s that has lcd screen and not the more effecient led screen. So a lot of those led notification apps dont help me. A couple of responses here are helpful. I'm hoping there will be a kernel with bln for stock ota jellybean when that comes out. Will that be easy to attain?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chronophase1:
It shouldn't be hard to implement BLN for jb. There are numerous kernels with back light notifications for 4.0.4. Have you even checked the development section?

Sent by pocket technology.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dannyry1:
I didn't know they were called back light notifications until this post (I had kept searching "capacitive button notification light nexus s" the whole time) , so please bare with me as I'm learning. I appreciate your pointing me in the right direction. :) It gives me hope that when a very functional release of JB for nexus s is out I will be able to use BLN on it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chronophase1:
Its cool. I didn't mean to come across so harshly. My apologies. Yeah. There's a ton of kernels that support it. Just take your pick :)

FYI: I rooted my note AT&T when it had GB(stock) and when Samsung squeezed out the official ICS I updated through Kies which in turn unrooted the Note.

I read this thread -->here<-- hoping for a similar method to root the official ICS 4.0.4 WITHOUT tripping the counter. So far (if I didn't miss any info) only found modded ROMs and flashing methods. I don't want to flash I simply would like to repeat the same rooting process as that of GB.

Any suggestions?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] deadman_raziel:
I'm interested in the same thing, given there are directions and an Odin Tar for System flash (which doesn't trip counter) for Stock Gingerbread which has root installed. Is this something the devs could look into? I know that there are a few that are working with stock and modding after stock is rooted, it would be great to have that system.tar for flashing and using ADB to install CWM and then still keep the flash counter from being tripped.

I know there is a CWM for resetting the flash counter, but that's not something I want to mess with. Have heard rumor that they can still see that you flashed something that isn't stock and that's even if you have reset the counter. Not sure on confirmation but that's what I heard. Just want to stay clean like I have already.
