[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
The only RGB Amoled I can compare the S3 to is the S2 and it's very obvious on first sight that the S3 kicks the S2 with sharpness and detail.

(I'm not including the S1 which is far below both in terms of resolution)

Have you checked the Settings? I'm not on a Samsung-Rom so I cannot test for myself.

I can recommend Go Contacts EX (free in Play Store) if you want a fully customizable Dialer.

Restrictions can be imposed on multiple levels

- Hardware specs (notably display resolution)

- Android Version

- Hardware name

- Country

- Carrier

In your case it seems to be the country. There are multiple descriptions on XDA and other sites, but afaik all of them include using a Proxy server. It's not trivial but unfortunately the only method for accessing them from the Play Store.

Not on the stock launcher afaik. You can create folders on the home screen but not in the app drawer.

There exist several other free Launchers in the Play Store capable of creating folders, try them out.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manbatistuta:
You can create folders in the apps drawer by clicking the left menu button > edit. Then drag an app (you should be able to see an empty folder icon at bottom left corner) and mount it over the folder icon. The app will now appear in a folder. Rest of the apps can be moved to the folder as well and you can name it whatever you like. Be sure to save the setting at top right corner. This folder can also be dragged to the home screen menu. Hope this helps.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imba-:
Thanks a lot for the replies everything helped except,

Yes I've checked settings and nothing and I do know about Go Contacts but that's not what I need. I event did factory restore settings to see what went wrong and nothing don't know what to do really.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Galaxy S i9000:
That works well, did not know this. Personally I like to use Apps Organizer by Fabio Collini (on the Market for free). It also gives u the opportunity to create folders with your themed apps (i.e. games / tools / navigation / ...) The advantage here is that you can select your own icon for the folder to go on your home screen. Especially if you have a lot of themed folders (like I do) you can create a much nicer look this way.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g4rvd4:
The call button on the right side was removed in the LFB update. Samsung probably thought it was redundant and I agree with that. They could have made it optional though.

At the moment there's no way to get that back unless you replace that particular apk (dialer.apk maybe) with the older version of it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imba-:
Thank you very much for your help, I also think they should have made it optional :good:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maatus:
it sure is better than s2 i know.

another thing thats bothering me is that in my sgs3 and whole android so much stuff is synced shared dropboxed and other virtual sharing stuff that I feel like my own phone isnt private anymore.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
That's fully configurable. Dropbox doesn't upload anything except you actually tell it to.

Go to Settings->Accounts->Sync and disable the Sync accounts and settings you do not need or want.

I'd recommend syncing Contacts+Bookmarks through Google and using SMS Backup+ to sync call logs and SMS.

With those present, even a lost/broken device would be acceptable in terms of data loss to me.

Thanks guys. I have a shedload more questions:

1. How do I turn the radio on when I'm in a vehicle?

2. How do I look at what my current mission is after I go away/pause for a while and then come back?

3. What are "horn" and "skidmark" icons meant to do? They don't seem to do anything when I press them.

EDIT: found out these are handbrake and horn.

4. I don't seem to have any sound whatsoever when I'm in-game - only the title music when the credits are up at the start? I have checked and music vol and sfx vol are at 79% (the default).
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] setspeed:
Also, I'm kinda gettin a bit hacked off that the game freezes and crashes every 10mins - it's like you complete a mission, and then before you can get back to the safe house it crashes... anything I can do to prevent this?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coebergh:
Uninstall game and make sure you download the additional files in one go. Fixed sound issues and crashing for me. Think some corrupted files

I noticed that I don't receive emails on gmail while connected to 3G. Works fine on wifi. 3G also works fine (for example if i open the browser i can browse fine and even if I manually sync gmail i receive the emails) I just never get the notifications. This also seems to be the case with other apps like facebook.

Is there some setting somewhere I could be missing?

I have sync on for both google account and facebook.

any ideas?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tntt:
is it possible this is operator dependent? I have a friend with Galaxy S2 and has the same issue.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daelyn:
Could be APN related. I had to remove proxy yo get tapatalk to work amongst other things.

Do your APN use a proxy? Try remove proxy and proxy port. Write em down first, in case it doesn't help.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tntt:
I checked, no proxies set - so thats not the case.

I did a factory reset,went through the setup process adding only samsung and google accounts. I tested it by sending an email to myself, while connected to wifi i got the notification instantly, I disconnected wifi and checked that i can access the web through the browser, then sent another email to myself and got no notification.

I read somewhere that the connection bars should be blue if there is a connection to google services. is this true for the s3 stock rom ?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tntt:
ok i fixed the problem. for anyone else who might have the same issue in the future (i guess on any android ICS based phone) the problem is caused by incorrect APN settings, the default ones the operator shows on the phone were wrong, i simply had to add a new APN with APN Name: internet and no other settings (I assume this is operator dependent)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
The APN should be stored on your SIM-card and can usally be requested through USSD-code to have a configuration SMS sent by your provider.

Alternatively you can just call them and request a configuration SMS.

Yes. However note that some providers are so sneaky (and/or lazy) as to have multiple access points which are billed differently. So check with your operator if that is actually the correct one, not that you are billed per Kilobyte and get the shocker of your life with the next bill.

Is it possible to change the DPI on stock or Sammy based roms rooted or is this only possible on CM9 AOSP based roms.

[Omnia 7 General] slysy:
I've noticed some strange behavior from the battery indicator on my Omnia7 recently. Quite often after I reboot thew phone, the battery indicator will show a significant difference once it restarts (usually shows less power). Yesterday I left my phone charging overnight and it showed zero battery on the indicator in the morning. I rebooted and it then showed full.

I've tried a battery draining app to fully discharge it, but it hasn't fixed the problem. Is there a fix? Do I need to buy a new battery?
[Omnia 7 General] giobooo:
This also happened to me. When I rebooted the phone it showed 50% less charge on the battery. I then pulled the battery for a minute or two and then turned on the phone and that fixed the problem.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Apex:
Are you on a Vietnamese language package stock rom? If so, you could try reporting to your device's manufacturer, but likely to not much avail. You may be better off, as you mentioned, making the fix yourself and making the updated rom available to other Vietnamese users facing the same issue...

[Windows 8 General] N3croman:
Hi, just a question - has anybody tried converting the Lua library into WinRT / C++ ? I would really like to use Lua in my Metro app (I plan to port one great logic game), but sadly I'm not C/C++ programmer and there is currently no WinRT library for Lua to use.

In my opinion it should not be hard for someone, who knows C++ and to convert it to WinRT.

Lua is written in C, source code is here: http://www.lua.org/ftp/

Can anyone help me port Lua library to WinRT? :confused:
[Windows 8 General] SferaDev:
Wait to rovio, angry birds uses LUA for their levels. Try to reverse the Angry Birds Metro App. I don't know if the released it yet if not wait till it's for downloading.

Then you'll see how they work with Lua / Metro.

Remember that the Metro apps are in Program Files too and you can get source code.
[Windows 8 General] N3croman:
I've already disassembled their WP7 binaries some time ago - they use Lua for describing levels, but these Lua files are encoded scrambled somehow and as far as I know, it's just a subset of Lua codebase they use there.

There is also no Metro Angry Birds right now, but I'll definitely check the binaries once Angry Birds for Metro are released :)

Well, I have been using LG Optimus One P500, currently running on CM7.2 nightly. It's been a great experience

but it's became really an old device(although unofficial CM9 can be run on this but buggy, very much buggy and with

laggy cam, problematic tethering and no youtube HQ).

So I am looking for a mid range android which is

future proof for a few years

. Even if it can't get the official update, it should run custom roms of upcoming Android versions properly.

So what should be approximate specs? I am thinking of

Dual or really Powerful Single Core

,512mb-1gb RAM and

Bigger Than 3.2inches

Display and at least

5mp Cam

and Popularity(good Dev Following)

Some Phones I've sorted out. Feel free to add more options please(well,only international versions available in India).

Moto Defy Plus or XT535(heard something about locked Bootloader so not much custome rom?)

Sony Xperia Sola(matches my criteria but 1350mah Battery..eh? My P500 has 1500mah and lasts not so long)

Sony Xperia ARC S(single core..future proof?)

Galaxy Advanced(best among these but almost empties my pocket and old architecture CPU-U8500 for so much money)

Xperia P(Same as Galaxy Advanced but a little more pricier, still no AMOLED)

Galaxy S II (Over the budget, One year old..Probably I'll not go for it for the budget issue)

Thanks in Advanced.
[General Topics] sony.xperia:
I would say that Sony recently has really good update support for their products (all 2011 phones got ICS except xperia Play).

you may consider to get xperia P. it has 1gb RAM which I think an important factor to upgrade your OS (maybe more important than having powerful processor).

my second option is galaxy s II. don't go for mid-range phone from samsung (e.g galaxy advanced or gal ace 2).

samsung only gives update to their high-end products.
[General Topics] zelendel:
No phone is future proof. But if you wanted one that was going to get updates for at least a bit longer then the carriers or OEM issue them then I would get a nexus. You have to remember that unless an official update is released for an older device there will always be things theat may not work if a updated OS is ported from another device.

[General Topics] MissionImprobable:
I would definitely recommend the Xperia P or if you decide you can swing it the Galaxy SII. The Xperia will receive long-term support and direct update via Sony and they are doing a lot to make sure firmware is readily accessible for developers. The Samsung should also continue to get relatively timely updates and if nothing else it has a huge dev community who will keep giving you access to the latest and greatest.

As mentioned nothing will be futureproof, but either of those two should keep you happy for some time to come.

Currently Nexus is not available in Indian Market and don't know why Google allowed only Play 'App' Store in India! Neither Music Nor Books unlike iTunes.

And if it would be available, it would be at a little higher..well quiet lot higher(for me..more than +5000rupees/$100) price range.

And Thank you guys, I am going for Galaxy S Advanced as no other phones offer so much features within this price range other than Xperia P. But why would I spend 2000 bucks extra when I am getting better spec(the AMOLED..pentile though). I hope all Galaxy S series will continue getting same attention of Devs as much its Grandfather S2(now S3) have been getting.

And I am pretty much convinced build quality wise and battery wise Samsung does a lot better than Sony.
