[Galaxy S III General] jonathanyong:
The GS3 has had an unusually bug-free (relative to most other smartphone releases) launch.

Hardware Problems:

Crackling in audio output when phone display is off (phone is in idle mode). Can be fixed in software by setting sleep mode to Idle Only from Idle + LPA.

Some screens are faulty and have pink areas

Some cameras are faulty and cause pink blotches in images

Software problems:

Cell standby battery usage is misreported and over-inflated

Creating an SMS longer than 3 messages converts it into an MMS. No way to disable this unless modding.

Email client (not gmail) mail body field text selection is bugged. Text gets deleted randomly when moving the text selection handles.

Music player sometimes plays the wrong song (one from a previous playlist) when you click on a song.

Music player also has some problems with organising songs into albums, creating duplicate albums with the same name.

The quick scroll alphabet column (in contacts and music lists) has a delay when sliding finger on it for the first time after app load

That's all I can think of right now.
[Galaxy S III General] sav_uk:
I'd say the marble white version was relatively bug-free as a launch handset but the pebble blue version probably has just as many launch defects as any other handset. For example, I ended up going through four faulty pebble blue handsets until finally giving up and getting my money back.

Physical home button - hard to reach, hard to press, looks stupid, feels stupid

Wake up lag - Push the power button and wait 1.500 ms for the screen to appear

Only 1 GB RAM - Not enough for a top phone in 2012... This is not 2011 anymore, Samsung!

Nothing else.. Everything else is top class..
[Galaxy S III General] Poker gypsy:
Yea that lag is sooooooooo long I fall asleep! And I have to get a long stick to push that dam home button! And the battery it last way to long! Why can't it just die after 14hours like the rest? If you didn't know I was being sarcastic!
[Galaxy S III General] d4fseeker:
Same device, other color. Other batch though since it was produced after the white one due to quality control issues with the color.

Siyah-Kernel greatly fixes that issue. CM9/CM10 even more, it's probably well below 0.5sec
[Galaxy S III General] Halmo:
I think you are just too picky about the phone being built perfect it's not going to happen for any phone. The chances of getting a perfectly built phone with no defects at all is lower than getting some minor defect such as "the gap being too big between the bezel and letting in dust" I can't believe they even let you return it for that reason. Good luck on your quest of finding the perfect phone.
[Galaxy S III General] sav_uk:
My returns were all due to pink blotch issues with the front camera which is unacceptable. I've never had a phone that takes pictures with a pink blotch. In addition to that pink blotch two of my devices also had large gaps. Bits of dust actually got stuck under the screen which, again, is unacceptable for a £500 phone. Samsung must ensure the bezel and screen are correctly sealed so that dust does not build up in inaccessible areas. I've also never had a phone where I could see black dots and whirls on the screen when viewing YouTube videos at night. I'd rather have blacks that are not so deep but are consistent in colour.

Thing is, general build quality of phones is going down whilst prices are going up. It's inevitable.
[Galaxy S III General] daz_2000:
Love the phone, not noticed any bugs or faults at all. No crackling when playing back audio via headphones
[Galaxy S III General] aydc:
No kernel fixes it. I've tried every single one available on the development section. They are all the same. 1.5 seconds wasted every time you turn on the screen.

Measure it yourself: http://online-stopwatch.chronme.com/
[Galaxy S III General] Poker gypsy:
I must be very lucky my phone not even a half of a second, maybe because I'm running a live wallpaper? Or maybe my phone not rooted? But is that 1.5 that important to you? Then you need to change phones,
[Galaxy S III General] aydc:
You seem to be trying so hard to start a conversation with me, but sorry, I don't talk to noobs. Especially ones who think live wallpapers change time Exynos SOC waits for the modem to go out of deep sleep.
[Galaxy S III General] Poker gypsy:
I don't need our want you as a friend sorry, just get another phone if it's that bad for you
[Galaxy S III General] Poker gypsy:
I know how to solve your problem! Get another phone! It's simple if your gong to lose asleep about 1.5 it's not worth it

[Galaxy S III General] cantIntoCode:
First of all I'd like to add my two cents to this thread, considering I am on my third I9300.

First device:

1. Phone would get really warm even when just listening to music with the device in my pocket

2. Screen had a blueish tint

3.. Noticed a dead pixel on the screen, that was the killer

Second Device.

1. Pinkish tint on the display

2. Light from the back and menu key leaked into the display and up the side of the phone

Now being on my third phone I am happy to say this one is *fine*. Hopefully no more issues arrive all I can say make sure you check the display and backlight buttons before walking away with your device.

Screen and Tempreture

Does anyone has this sound (creaky, glass not glued right something like that) when you tap on the top half of the screen as if there is something loss

And What is the average temp. you guys get ??
[Galaxy S III General] a67543210:
S3 is definitely more laggy than S2 for day to day use because of low RAM. Too many services hugging the memory.

Games crash as they get pushed out of memory due to low RAM available, and the low memory threshold being reached easily. E.g Tintin and other heavy gameloft games.

I'm beginning to feel I prefer a functional phone like S2, than all this low RAM, but, the S3 is just so beautiful and well thought, that I'm stuck. I hope they release leads huggy firmware. Add I'm talking,I have about 350MB RAM on my S2, and about 120MB RAM on S3.
[Galaxy S III General] a67543210:
Samsung Swype is still no were close in accuracy like Swype Beta. They'll definitely improve this with time. Sub Key letters are not comfortably accessible also.
[Galaxy S III General] shaggydabbydo:
App space

If you'll stay with stock, and get the 16Gb model, you'll have 11Gb left to store stuff.

Apps you download from Google Play can only be stored in this 11Gb space, you cannot move them to the user-mounted micro-SD card.

A few games like NOVA3 and some navigation software & maps and your app memory (the 11Gb) gets full pretty quickly.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] abadasstanker69:
I've tried every single ics rom we have available to us at the moment. I love them all. They look great. For some reason though, it doesn't "fling" like gb did. I feel like it scrolls slower or something. Has anyone else noticed this? I thought I was just me so I went back to gb and no. It's there. I know it is. I may not be explaining it right but its there. Is there any way to fix this? Also on another note, when I use lpp the calendar widget always fc's on ics. I noticed its happening on touchwiz too. So are those two problems related? Seems like they should be. I thought maybe it would help get to the bottom of the problem. Anyway, any help is greatly appreciated.

I noticed there is another thread below mine asking a similar question but its about the stock update. I still have this issue on the custom roms. Just wanted to clarify
[HTC Incredible S] nniicckkss:
Hi all,

I’ve taken a lot from this forum recently, and now I would like to give a little something back...

I’m no developer, but I’ve been playing with the boot animation and I’ve finally worked out how to make my own. So I’d like to share my first attempt with you all and welcome your comments.

Requirements - rooted phone, a root file explorer with write permission.

Download your desired bootanimation.zip and save it on your phone SD card where you can find it again.

Use your favourite root explorer to copy and paste it over your current bootanimation.zip (my location for this is at /data/local in phone storage, not SD card).

The next time you reboot your device, you should see it after the initial Splash Screen!

If you want to make your own boot animation but don’t know how to, then I used the guide as found HERE.

But please note, for the Incredible S you should set the resolution to 480 x 800 in the .txt file, and save the images as 480 x 800, 24 bit, .png.

Here's my first bootanimation.zip, it is ARHD ROM themed, I hope you like it:

View attachment 1206455

Here's the link for ARHD animation: http://db.tt/DAAVt4Bj

My second one is this HTC themed bootanimation.

Download and preview screen-shot in Post #2.

My third bootanimation is JellyBean themed.

Downloads (two versions available) and preview screen-shot in post #9.

My ViperVivo Bootanimation & Splash Screen

Download and screen-shots can be found HERE on their official thread.

Blue Clouds Bootanimation & Splash Screen

Here is a new animation for you, a simple blue/black clouds 'Incredible S' animation. Animated preview and download link in post #11.

Please Note: The cooldroid revolution bootanimation by phonetech101 in post #7 below is no longer available, he's moved the file and the link is no longer good.

Thanks for looking!

nniicckkss

:cool:

PS: There doesn’t seem to be a thread in the Incredible S ‘Themes & Apps’ forum to ‘Share your Boot Animations’, just a couple of independent ones on a specific topic.

If you want to post your own designed or 'borrowed' boot animations in this thread, I don’t mind at all (I would advise to credit others if it's not yours). All will be in one place, and easy to find again. I won’t see it as hijacking my thread!

[HTC Incredible S] nniicckkss:
Here's another Boot Animation for you, based around the standard HTC one.

I've added 'dropping in' letters at the start, and the droid on a skateboard afterwards.

This isn't ROM specific, it's in a generic HTC style.

I hope you like it!

Here's a couple of shots of the boot-up:

The bootanimation.zip file is attached to this post. See post number 1 (above) for what to do with it.

Comments welcome...

(I'm not taking credit for creating the graphics in this, I just put them together in the animation to share with everyone.)

I can't tell on my mobile, I'll need to take a look on my laptop, but initially after unzipping your .zip file (original size 5mb), I noticed each image was >1mb each, so something doesn't add up.

Did you compress the .zip or zip as 'store only'?

Yeah i zipped it if i didnt it would have been huge. Can you recommend any programs for making animations im using Arora text and logo maker.

[HTC Incredible S] nniicckkss:
You can't compress the .zip, it won't work...

I used winrar and saved it as a store only .zip.

The .zip size is something you'll have to live with when you start using fancy graphics in each frame.

My first one is >11mb, but my second one which has more frames is just a fraction of the size due to less complexed graphics.

Regarding a program, I don't know, sorry.

But I don't think you need it, you just need to sort out your .zip method.

JellyBean Themed Boot Animation (480 x 800)

Hi all,

JellyBean here, JellyBean there - here's a JellyBean boot animation I'd like to share!

Download link - fast version (approx. 17.5 MB): http://db.tt/njbYmy9k

Download link - slow version (approx. 13 MB): http://db.tt/E31MzY3R

(I like the slow version best)

Don't unzip it or flash it, just save it over your existing boot animation using your favourite root explorer app.

Enjoy!

:)

Here's a preview screen-shot (click to enlarge):

Blue Clouds Bootanimation & Splash Screen

I made this for me, thought I'd share it with you all as I quite like it:

Bootanimation

Looks like this:

Download the attached bootanimation.zip, don't unzip it. Install as previously mentioned in this thread (change zip filename if you need to, ROM depending).

Splash Screen (the still image before the bootanimation)

Looks Like this, matches the above bootanimation:

View attachment 1451411

For S-OFF only.

And you must unzip this one first, get the 'splash1.img' file from the attached .zip and place it in your adb/fastboot tools folder on your PC.

Then go to CMD prompt on your PC and set your CD to the tools folder.

Set your phone in USB bootloader mode, then type in "fastboot flash splash1 splash1.img" to flash it to your phone.

Job done - reboot to see it appear before the bootanimation.

If you want to revert back to stock, download, unzip and flash the file from within 'ORIGINAL_HTC_SPLASH.zip', as attached. It looks like this:

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ghettohacker:
And I can't post in the development sub forum because I havn't opened my mouth more than i've needed to.

I was wondering if any one could help me out. I had to get a refurbished phone from verizon, so I've got to root again. The phone is 6.01.605.05 710RD firmware,and I can't seem to place the tacoroot.sh file correctly.

I've downloaded HTC Drivers, all files, Java SDK and adb..

as far as I can get is to push tacoroot.sh to the phone and chmod the file and then......

C:\Users\andy\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>adb shell /data/l
ocal/tacoroot.sh --setup
/data/local/tacoroot.sh: not found

Am I missing something not in any of the tutorials?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] prototype7:
What's the output when you push tacoroot.sh?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sjpritch25:
honestly with windows permissions that's not a great directory to be doing this from. Make sure your running as administrator, which i don't see. Otherwise, I would place your adb files in your root c:\ drive

If your were if would be the following.

C:\win is the directory i use, but i can really be anything. I just think it should be on the root drive for easy access.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] fenduru:
I'd say just try it again. I recall having a similar issue, but it had to do with me being impatient and not waiting for push to finish before doing other things.

Try this:

adb shell ls /data/local | grep taco

Is there any output from that?

It's a UK keyboard with $ and € on "4" and £ on "3". I doubt you will find a dock at a discount price so try emailing the Asus "shop" shop_eneu@asus.com.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Chrono_Tata:
All Prime being sold in the UK comes with a dock unlike in the US where you can buy tablet and dock separately, so they don't sell UK docks by themselves. Anyway even if you get the US dock it will work, but you just have to remember the differences in US and UK layout when using it.

I have figured out why the radio works for some and our fails for others. I used to be on hboot 1.09 from stock T-Mobile, and boot.imgs and radio flashed without a problem with twrp. However, after flashing the 1.78 RUU from the OP, my hboot is now 1.13. If you extract the rom.zip you will see that it is hboot 1.13. Now I can't flash any radio or boot.imgs from recovery, even with twrp. Now even with supercid I can't flash the 1.84 RUU from tmous anymore. It gives error 155 no matter what.

Anyone know a way to downgrade hboot without s-off? It looks like we really need s-off now. Hopefully we can have some people start working on it.

Lol I thought my hint was clear enough. With hboot 1.13 you can only flash equal or newer images as the older ones get blocked out. There is no way around this. Unfortunately, the new radio does not seem to have a higher serial internally as it gets blocked for many too.

Hboot downgrade is not possible currently. S-OFF is required.
