[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kronemerk:
Please help.

I have a EVO LTE, rooted day one via zedomax method, recently went S-OFF via Lazy Panda, TWRP 2.2.0 via Goo.im, installed the stock odexed rom and firmware less HBOOT from xHausx's thread of 7/14 and everything appeared functional until i tried to use the camera. The camera appears to take photos and says saving photos, but the photos do not appear in the gallery. I have tried remounting the SD card, and changing the camera to save photos to internal memory without solving the problem. (Internal memory has almost 10 GB and my SD card has over 20 GB free)

Any solution would be appreciated.

Thanks

Keith

Have you tried re flashing the Rom or flashing another one?

Tried reflashing rom with no success. it looks like the pictures are being saved but the gallery app cannot see them. nandroided back to original stock for now, and will try to update when I have more time to figure this out (I need the camera working).

Thanks for the suggestion. if anyone has any others please let me know.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ticois2nice:
I was having same problem but for some reason it was taking shots with a different time stamp which means they were saved towards the middle of gallery and it didn't show in the little preview box. I would check your gallery it might not be getting saved in order
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kronemerk:
Thanks that was appeantly the issue. New photos were coming into the gallery out of order (about 3 days back). No idea why, or how to fix it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] auto_freak:
Hey Guys,

I know there are probably tons of threads such as this but I would like some concrete feedback from previous S2 owners and new S3 owners as to why the S3 really stands out. I saw a few threads and did enough searching to find out many reasons as to whether the S3 is truly a worthwhile upgrade or not. I'll be honest with you all, I love Android and I love my SGS2. Have had it ever since the launch date and I still don't see any phone out there that has quite truly been this staggering in terms of performance, user customizability and dependability. Sure it has had few hiccups and I have had a few bad ROMS installed before (particularly on Gingerbread) but I haven't had trouble with any ICS roms that I have used so far and I love how this phone handles so well even though I have put it through some extreme loads.

I have seen the S3 being sold in huge numbers within Toronto, even more than the S2 already and I am surprised because I think the 4S is truly a magnificent phone on its own. I'd appreciate your opinions and mostly would welcome previous S2 owners who upgraded this year to the S3 as to why they did so. I'll keep the S2 most probably even if I get the S3 because I truly adore this phone so I am not sure whether the S3 really would cancel the use of my S2 or not. I need good battery life and 2100mAH is a huge improvement and I hear the new phone can go the whole day even with extreme browsing, not sure if its true or not.

I don't play games, I browse, email and perform some normal trades, so it has to be a good premium phone to replace my S2. I don't see any phone out there other than the 4S and SGS3 that competes well against my S2. I'll be okay with stock roms for now, will root for sure but don't necessarily need a custom ROM already. I know the community and its ROMs will grow everyday and finally with Jelly Bean, someone nail it and get us the perfect ROM for the S3 so I'd be okay if there aren't many options on the list of custom roms at this moment.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Bowsa2511:
Yes.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] seoulstyle:
I would honestly just stick with the S2 and wait for the S4 whenever it comes out. Your phone is only a year old, take some more time to enjoy it. Unless you play games, really demand a larger screen or just simply have money to blow, then there's no reason to upgrade so fast.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] babymatteo:
The 2GB's RAM is more than enough to make you jump ships. As a former S2 owner, I would definitely do it. Dev support for the S3 has picked up really fast. With CM10 previews being available now, i can only imagine how far this phone will go. Consider that the JB source code has only been out for what...a week or two? This phone will really go far.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] ingenious247:
Having owned (and still own) both, I'd say you're fine with the GS2 if you have no complaints.

For me, I had 'upgraded' (downgraded) to the GSM Galaxy Nexus, and gave my GS2 to the wifey... and regretted it so much that I bought the GS3 as soon as it came out.

The first thing I said was "ahhh thank God, feels like I have my phone back"

It's nice to have the latest and greatest, don't get me wrong - but I saw no short comings on the GS2, and the few new features of the GS3 are cool, but nothing to lose sleep over.

I'd say wait it out, if you don't have money to blow. If you do, then get it! The GS3 is every bit as good as the GS2 and then of course there is the extra RAM, slightly more internal memory, new features, etc.

but it's a toss up, honestly.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] ingenious247:
Also I should mention that I prefer the build quality on the GS2, the back cover and design was perfect IMO. Plus capacitive buttons are better than physical (and software buttons IMO)

This is not to take away from the GS3 AT ALL, the truth is the GS2 was simply the best phone ever made prior to the GS3.

Which is just another testament to the amazing GS2.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] auto_freak:
Thanks everyone for the awesome replies. I'll wait and look out for more suggestions in this thread. I am keen on the S3 and while I can afford it, I also am aware that having two phones of almost the same calibre is a waste so will have to get rid of the S2 if I do get the S3. The only things I am mostly fond of in the S3 is the new development behind all the ROMs and how everyone's making such a great effort into getting the best package out there to all S3 owners. I don't like too big of a phone and the S2 is just as big as it can do for me. I remember S2X and other LTE phones based on S2 came out after a few months of the I-9100 launch date so maybe I can get the second variant come fall/winter time.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] limeaid:
The battery life improvement alone is almost worth it for me. Beyond that, the improvement is incremental. If you're not desperate for the HD screen and you are ok with the battery life on the GS2, I don't think you'll be blown away by the GS3
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] neubauej:
If you like the s2 as is, keep it. I think its sleeker, nicer to hold, and plenty fast.

Honestly if I were to do it again I wouldn't have bothered with the s3.

Sure its a bit faster, has lte and has a bigger screen, but it really isn't that big of an upgrade.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] rosedog:
This is about as spot on as spot on gets!

I'm in the same boat and was set to return mine but work sent me out of town and I missed my window. :crying:

Other than that after my ICS update on the SGS2 a battery calibration kicked my battery life into overdrive and is giving me great usage.

Another thing that hasn't been mentioned yet is the lack of Mass Storage on the SGS3. Its my biggest gripe and I really miss it. MTP can suck eggs till the chickens come home to roost. I use my phones alot for everything (play - work [office/field environment]) so its a real problem when I can't preview my pics on the phone through my computer when connected with my SGS3. I have to copy everything over to the PC first then filter through everything deciding on what I am/not going to keep/rename/edit. Also some people have reported having issues when trying to copy a large amount of files and/or large file sizes timing out when trying to transfer to the SGS3. I get that alot of the younger teens/early 20somethings don't care about this but I want my phone to do for me not work against me.

Sorry for my diatribe there...I could tell you how I really feel. :p

In short you are not missing out on anything if you don't get the SGS3. Don't worry about Jellybean either, the SGS2 WILL get it. Heck most likely even the HTC HD2 is getting Jellybean.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] AvatarOfFrost:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] limeaid:
This.

The Gs2 was an amazing phone for its time. Almost perfect. The gs3 is an incremental step above that. But it's hard to improve on perfection
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] KillaHurtz:
The HD2 already has Jelly Bean bro !
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Success100:
man, tough decision even after its been debated 1000 times.

For me, the s2(epic touch 4g) was THE BEST PHONE I EVER HAD. Everything about that phone was just perfect. The display, even at 800x480 was amazing. Amazing camera, fast as hell, GREAT for gaming, great speaker. Even given its so so reception. Still the best phone ever to me.

I went ahead and took the plunge and upgraded to the s3. It is indeed a great phone. Its fast as hell, gets INSANE battery life, has a higher res screen which looks awesome (though because of the pentile arrangement viewing angles are not as good as the s2). Its got a great speaker and some real slick software features.

Heres what I miss about the s2. I miss the camera more than anything. The camera on the s3, while not a bad camera, to ME leaves something to be desired. The camera on the s2 was awesome.

I also miss gaming. its not as strong on the US s3 as it is on the s2. Mostly because of the increase in resolution. I feel like the s2 exynos was more than powerful enough to push the display on the s2. I dont feel the same way with the s4(krait) core and the s3. It just does not seem to perform as well. But that could be due to a number of things.

My opinion? If you got the money, then do it. If not, the s2 is STILL one of the best phones out there.

Im happy with my purchase for the most part. The s2 was a epic phone, the s3 is a minor improvement in my opinion
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] abandroid:
I would have to agree with seoulstyle on this one. Really the only thing I have noticed is biggerscreen, clairity of screen and battery life. I find it really difficult to type on the g3 vs my skyrocket in landscape mode. I had the s2, skyrocket and now s3. So if you have the cash to fork out do it, otherwise just wait. I haven't found the s3 usefull enough to say "man I glad I spent the money to upgrade to the s3" :-(

Dont get me wrong I really like the phone, but I paid the no commit price so its harder on the wallet.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] ThC23:
If you got the money and more than one line with upgrades than do it.

It's a very nice phone, it not a huge upgrade, but an upgrade indeed.

If you really think about it from here on out how much better can a phone get. It's always gonna be small upgrades moving forward.

Well at least that's how I see it.

This phone is a beast and I personally like everything about it, so much that I haven't even had the urge to root and flash anything.

Maybe when JB is stable enough, but I'm actually happy stock.

Only real problem I've had is signal drops here and there, but I'm sure that will get fixed with a different modem or something.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] auto_freak:
Thanks for all the replies guys, really appreciate all your efforts into helping me decide. So far I'm inclined to stick with the GS2 since its quite frankly one of the top 3 phones out there and I am so used to it too. I just wanted to experience Rogers LTE since I do have 6 gigs of data to play with. I also would welcome the longer battery life since the GS2 is a thirsty model with every single ROM/Kernel out there. I am going for the 2000mAH extended battery to see if there is a huge improvement or anything and if there is, then I'll stick with the phone till a new version of S3 comes out or better yet next year's S4.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] tn_volfan:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] ErebusRaze:
I'll make it short. I have the S3 now and I gave my S2 to my girlfriend. In terms of speed they're pretty much equal because, let's be real; what apps are there that really utilize the full power of multiple cores? What sets the S3 apart in my eyes is the little tweaks Samsung implemented to make the phone a far more efficient media device. The beautiful screen, the doubled ram, the speaker (which is better in my comparison) as well as the hardware button. The S3 is an all around improvement on an already amazing platform that was the S2. Is it worth upgrading? In my opinion yes. Will there be something better quite soon as there was after the S2 was released? Of course. But that's why we have XDA. Thanks to the developers we can mold our dated hardware into multimedia beasts which trump even newer hardware.

+1 on Android lost

The ability to remotely control the phone is amazing. Make it ring, make it talk, make the front and rear camera shoot and show you what it sees.

I really like how you can set so when the person with your phone hit's the OK button, it takes their photo with the front facing camera.

This isn't correct, you can't overclock a Kernel using CPU control. You can increase the clock speed to the maximum allowed within the kernel but that isn't technically overclocking. I want to change the modules without flashing a whole new kernel. Any ideas?

To see battery percentage on the stock device go into settings and battery you'll see the percentage in the upper left hand corner.

For temp units go into Google Now and on your weather slide click the three dots in the top right hand corner of the slide to access the settings.

I had the Celsius issue when I first setup my Gnex. Google Now displays stuff in your native units.

The message is there for a reason. If your nexus is rooted and somebody steals it, they can use su to access the Google Wallet asec data without needing to enter the PIN. Doing a "temporary unroot" might suppress the message but it doesn't actually solve the security problem.
