[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CCallahan:
My opinion but I don't see sandpaper working on a scratch that deep. If it was me I would get one of those glass screen protectors that model the actual screen and put it on. Might not even care about the scratch if you can't feel it.

Hello. My friend is trying to update from 2.3.5 to ics. It downloads it trough ota and then reboots to install. Then at 10% it just restarts and nothing updated. So we tried with Kies.

My last android phone was an LG Optimus 3D which had what I considered to be a beautiful stock weather widget....

Can anyone suggest other weather widgets???????

This is the stock LG from O3D/Thrill

I've seen this one called 3D weather, but its just different enough to not appeal to me :(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Nightwind Hawk:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Araltd:
Oh and one of the cool features of that LG O3D widget above (the top one) when you tap the weather, it shows and animated forecast screen... (raindrops, moving sun, clouds, etc... very attractive)

Any pictures of the fancy widgets?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] xxsxx:
Beautiful Widgets does that as well.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] davidusr:
I'll second Beautiful Widgets. Highly customizable. :good:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] unleashed12:
Beautiful widgets here as well, i use the 4x1 super clock myself. :good:

Haha that was actually one of my only complaints about this phone, the samsung included weather widget looks like crap. Funny because it looked fine on the galaxy s ii, loved it. Dont know why they decided to totally rework it and make it ugly for this new release of touchwiz. Oh well, BW to rescue! :p

edit- op, i think you can download the exact widget from the lg phones to the samsung too, i remember someone ripped it not too long ago i tried it on some of my old phones, looked nice! look around a bit on xda you might find the post again.

I have been using weather forecast widget for years now https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.koxx.forecast_weather.v2 there's several sizes of widgets with and without your calendar integrated, as well as a number of icon collections and easy to use font and background settings. This is with a transparent background. What I really liked was the ability to have different widgets with different cities as well as a auto location. That however isn't working on this phone and I don't expect it to be fixed.

HELP ,

When i restore my phone NTdocomo LG-L04C to orginal ROM by LG tools. When tho yellow screen appear UPDATING..., then stop and shudown, and now the phone can not start allway black screen. What can i do? HELP

Thanks to all first:crying:
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Vinnom:
Since I can't start a thread in the prop section (on devs) I'm starting here and if some mod could move it to the right section I think it is fine.

Ok, I started to dig the forum and ask questions about it, but couldn't find what I was looking, until I found a blessed reply and could find myself, so this post is for newbies like me =)

When you try to cook your own ROM and find trouble when flashing it like status 7 you'll need the proper mount points to your updater-script. The best way to find it is:

- Download AndroidSDK(if you haven't it already)

- Enter in adb shell (I made it with adb su permission, don't know if it is necessary)

- "cd proc"

- use "ls" command to see what this dir have. In my case, with SGW was mounts

- use "cd .." and "cat /proc/mounts"

Then you will see the proper mount points to system, data, cache and whatever you may need. =)

Chicagoland is so big that it is hard to generalize. I've been with TMO since the voice stream days in the western suburbs and have been generally been pleased with it. I've had the gs3 for a week now and reception is the same as my htc hd2. Data of course is much faster.

depends on what you mean by "working". There are several that unfortunately have all the hardware that makes the Flyer the Flyer disfunctional, so IMO, no, there are no "working" ICS ROMs, yet. But, if those functions aren't important to you, then check them out.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fiasco:
I cannot copy files from the sdcard to my PC as it simply hangs on "Calculating the time required to copy the files."

I have tried different USB ports, uninstalled and re-installed the drivers, tried usb debugging on and off. This is driving me nuts!

I have tried airdroid and syncme, but airdroid is just too slow (24 hours approx) and syncme drops the connection too often.

Can anyone tell me how to backup all the sdcard files from the Galaxy Nexus to the PC?

Thank you.

adb pull /data/media/ /Sdcard/

This will back up to a "Sdcard" folder on your C:\ drive.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justin94:
Ummmm. Try not to do all 32 GB at once? I have no problems backing up mine. I do it by pics. Then downloads. Then titanium backup etc. Just do one file at a time
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bvaisoft:
I am the developer of SyncMe Wireless app you tried. I do regular 8 GB sd card backups. It takes approximately 3 hours for the very first backup and a few minutes for subsequent backups. Considering you left device in the same place and set your device WiFi policy correctly - never sleeps, best WiFi performance, you should not experience any connection drop. Otherwise, it is just like fighting the device which wants to save battery on WiFi use. By the way, using USB is always at least 10 times faster. So if you can setup USB tethering between your device and PC, you can backup in less than half an hour 8 GB sd card for the first time and the same few minutes subsequent incremental ones. Doing the same using adb takes almost 20 minutes more and no incremental backup thereafter.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fiasco:
Thanks! You put me on the right track. The command you gave me only pulled media (photos, videos, music).

So, I thought about it for a second, and logically it followed that

adb pull /sdcard/ /sdcard/

would pull the entire Internal storage. It did.

I am now backed up! Thanks again!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gavin-phelan:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] minhajmsd:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] faissl:
Just worked like charm! I only had to change the source directory to /storage instead of /data/media,that's where my Xperia Tipo is locating the sdcard.

I think this can backup anything, like /apps for example..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cygnus:
This worked like a charm for me. I have an HTC One, so backing up isn't as easy as it was when I had removable storage. My question is this; can I push directories back to the 'sdcard' the same way I did a 'pull' the entire sdcard? I.E., can I 'restore' this backup if I do a full wipe (including the internal sdcard)?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fiasco:
I should have posted this a long time ago, but anyone still having issues backing up to your PC should download Android Commander.

No hate, I think that would take a lot of time and might not even be possible depending on what other country the site is based in. Some ISPs are more responsive than others. Some don't respond at all since you are not paying their bills.

A better way is to challenge their ownership of the name under the WIPO rules. The only drawback is that you must have someone represent you in Geneva, but 99%+ of WIPO challenge cases are won because the "fake" owner never shows up. Of course, the jerks will register another domain name since it is cheap to do.
