I have recently came across some idiots in these forums. So i would like to point out to some new people here. Look out for these idiots, be aware of these idiots, and if you have a little tiny problem with your device dont you dare ask for help, as you will be called a noob and told to put your device back to stock by these idiots. You will not see people asking for help here. So if thats what your after, then dont bother.

Personal experiance of forum assholes.

Thanks :leelaa :)

I should of shouldnt i. As that where these idiots get developed.

On a serious note though, is one not allowed to seek advice without getting called a noob and made to look an idiot? The attitude some of the memvers have is just plane bad. And do not deserve the help they will get when they will need it, (wich they will as everyone does sooner or later)

I had a small problem, when i reboot my phone i kept getting the message android is upgrading, it wa not effecting the performance of the phone, but jus one of those annoyn things. I ask for help and get told....Rule number one. Allways put your device ack to stock when you have a problem, and then get called a noob.

[Nexus 7 General] Metallice:
The upgrading happens when dalvik cache is cleared. Sounds like there was an issue with dalvik. So yeah. Wiping/stock was probably your best bet it wiping/reflash didn't work. It could also have been a bad kernel flash.

Oh and youre backwards... you get called a noob and then you get told to go back to stock.

Yes everyone who has a bad experience on a forum should post a new thread about that bad experience and then everyone who has a bad experience in that thread starts a new thread and so on. Its the circle of forum life.

I'm just guessing that this thread won't be deleted. Mostly because it completely adheres to the forum rules and is an incredibly helpful asset to the community.

You should post more like this. Help those other n00bs out.

/sarcasm

Listen, whether you had a real problem or not is irrelevant. There will always be people that just like pissing on your cookies. If you hadn't experienced people like that in the past I want to congratulate you for finally leaving your house or connecting to the internet for the first time...those people are everywhere. The correct way to deal with them is to ignore them and then realize that everyone else in the world has dealt with them in the past. The incorrect way is to call attention to it and then cry about it in a very public way. Take this advice: Leave it alone and never bring it up again. It just makes you look pathetic and self-entitled to make an entire forum topic about it so you can "tell the world". The world already knows...I'm just sorry you didn't.

Hey guys I just upgraded from Nokia N8 to the SGSIII

Finally made the switch to android, will miss nokia though

anyways

I love playing gba games on my phone and i never had problems with my nokia

This phone is a beast compared to what I've ever had in phone but yet it lags on my gba roms

The n64 game worked just fine

Only having lag problems with this.

i looked up some threads already and change the frame skip to 1 or even 0 which took care of the video lag a bit but the sound it terrible.

Anyone experiencing this with this phone?

would really like the help

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] IVILyric:
I just tested gameboid on my SGSIII (Tmobile version) and experienced no kind of lag. I even changed the frame skip to zero. Cant say exactly what fps it was running at (i couldnt find an option to check) but everything seemed smooth. I tested tried Legend of Zelda Minish Cap, Mario Kart and Pokemon Fire Red. All ran fine. Do you have the same problems with all your roms? Are you running the newest version of Gameboid?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] krazyq:
Hey I'm try g to play pokemon red and it lags . I believe I have version 2.47.

Th first time I tried it it ran perfect a d I was so happy but never since. I even did a factory reset. It's smooth with the sound off but it should run perfectly smooth with this phone. I disabled a bunch of the t mobile n Google apps but still no improvement
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] IVILyric:
I can't think what could be causing the problem. If possible you can try redownloading gameboid and reinstalling. Also maybe try a different gba bios (not sure at all if this would really change anything. just throwing the idea out there). Everything is stock on my SGSIII and I havent had any problems running any emulators I've thrown at it. The only setting I usually change is the fram skip (to zero) and I turn off the vibration. Hopefully someone else out there can give you more help with this.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] krazyq:
tried all that

and this phone should play it silky smooth if my nokia could with only 256 ram and 680mhz processor

well i'm getting a replacement white 32gb today, i do not like the pebble blue

i'll try it right away before i do anything

i've turned off vibration

sync

i even tried another emulator and same issue

well hopefully someone can figure this out for me

EDIT: UPDATE

Hey just to update, since i got my replacement white 32gb , i haven't had issues at all and it's been almost a week and it's all good.

Might have been something i installed previously.

Thanks for helping out!

Does removing bloatware drain battery?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Nopi45:
No.. helps battery life just freeze your the boat in your app settings.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] sk8trix:
disabling bloat helps keep less apps using cpu resources therefore less battery drain be careful on wat u freeze though
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] V@no:
And why would you think it drains more battery?

The logic escapes me.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] uzii305:
Well because i froze a ton of samsung and att bloatware and ive seen no improvement on my weak short battery life. I mean 4:30 hrs on battery with 3:01 screen on and im at 15%.... maybe the system is looking for the disabled apps??? I dont know..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] justinblaine23:
3 hours of on screen is why your battery drained. Doubtful it's removing system apps.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] mw86:
I've seen really varied battery life. The screen is the number one battery drain on our phones so I use my brightness as low as I can get away with. Monitor your battery life day to day and see if screen percent battery usage even when used for 3-5 hours should start to show closer to show 20-30% of your battery usage vs the likely 50% or higher you may be seeing now. I use a third party app to lower brightness even below our normal GS3 brightness when I know I'll be surfing or using the phone an extended period of time.

Common battery conservation knowledge consists of simple things like disabling GPS, WiFi, and Bluetooth when possible. Limit or turn off sync when uneeded. Turn off led lit touch buttons if you get used to menu and back where they are. Turn off sprint network optimizer (sprint only) it seems to scan networks too often leading to too much battery discharge for me. Turn location services off if not used often certain ones not GPS effect battery too. Uninstall bloat which you did. Turn options in apps off not to sink.

Check battery usage during screen off and idle and make sure your phone is sleeping. If you have a sleep bug the phone is not shutting down cores and lowering speed while not used leading to multiple hours of battery life lost. I turn off vibrate and haptic feedback off except where I can. If your rooted take control of your cpu and when not needed clock it down yourself. If your browsing you may not need max frequency. 1ghz core or less is good to save power while just casually using the phone.

Just a rant on what I've had success with. No pic but I have had success getting 24 hours between charge with heavy use like 6+ hours screen on if I was really conservative. Most days of heavy use as long as I didn't use a giant overclock I get 9-10 hours between charge.

https:// play.google. com/store/apps/details?id=com.curvefish.widgets.brightnesslevel

My favorite brightness widget for quick access and free on play store.

https:// play.google. com/store/apps/details?id=com.haxor

The great widget that's free on play store to adjust your brightness lower than current device brightness in a percent form. it can go 0-100% below your lowest brightness level or even below your highest brightness level if you prefer... as its based on your current set device brightness and is accomplished by using a screen overlay I believe. Adds a little lag when enabled but saves you the power when needed.

Remove extra space in address for Play store links. Admins hope link okay.

Fixed the links for you. Once you get 10 post you can link don't just spam for post tho.. at least attempt to add to the thread when you do those 5 other post. ;)

I might just check this out as well. :) The built in SGS3 brightness thingy is garbage so I have it set on max :D *I still get 4hours of screen on for max brightness tho haha*

Edit: Those apps are not what I thought they are.. I thought it was a different auto brightness thingy but its not that still useful I guess if you want to go crazy on battery.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] mw86:
Okay thank you kindly. I know much less than anyone here. I am new to this world and new to Android.

Those apps are not new brightness control as you have stated. ofirst one is a simple widget to change brightness from home screen so its just a shortcut. The second a screen overlay that doesn't get in the way of using apps and darkens the screen beyond minimum brightness that SG3 or any phone has. If a user does not need lower screen brightness than normal than the above apps are not going to be useful. Thank you for fixing links. I hope I can add to threads and around.

Like you I would love to see an app that creates a custom auto brIghtness function.

---------- Post added at 01:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:28 PM ----------

Thanks this looks great. that's what I was looking for in first place. Ill give it a try. That's definitely better yet.

A guy commented on app there and said useful info as follows which Ill try out myself just thought it was also interesting.

"On "automatic dynamic" mode- behaves buggy & erratic. USE: "automatic periodic" with updating at 5 sec intervals. Now works well. Set backlight zero to 10. Sample lux/% settings: 10/-55%, 100/10%, 500/35%, max/100%. Try it. Be nice if widget also showed Auto & %." -Heath

Edit: After trying the above app it easily replaces both apps I posted. Thanks jmorton10 for posting this great app.

Edit: After using all the apps. I found Lux can create lag in the touch interface and browsing etc just like the app"Screen Filter" I posted. On screen filter it causes lag when enabled and for some reason Lux also does this to my phone. Once I disabled and restarted the lag was gone again. I don't have to restart phone for Screen Filter just turning it off with a single button press fixes it. Lux has more features and actually makes a custom auto brightness profile. The free version is fairly limited but has enough to still make a fair brightness profile. Given the lag which is likely on just a few handsets is something most of us saving battery can deal with. Between all the apps I guess it depends on what you need. Lux is a top notch software but the free version is fairly limited vs the free brightness widget and screen filter but has no auto-brightness customization. The lag on Lux was not right away and was exactly like the lag in screen filter app so both must have issue in way the below normal brightness is overlayed over the screen. The paid version is likely very in depth.

Thanks for the app suggestion again.

Re: [ROM] 07-22-2012 JELLYBLUR V1.2 CM7.2 - SPJESTER Production

Media volume appears to be jacked up on this ROM. When turning my volume down 3 notches, it almost goes silent. Did I miss a fix in the settings? Sorry to post this under the "Random Q&A" section but it appears that XDA micromanages harder than my boss. Thus, I can't communicate with the actual dev. Yes, I've searched this site as well as Rootzwiki, but have not found an answer. Thanks for your time!

I do like how it gets quiet quickly, however it kind of defeats the purpose if it goes silent before you get to the bottom of your media volume.

No problem. I wasn't trying to call you out, just confused. To answer your question, it looks like you may have to patch the ROM yourself to make it compatible. This recent version had fixed compatibility issues with a few ROMs, but since Jester's is new I doubt it includes his ROM (even though it's CM based, there are going to be differences).

Newbie questions :)

Ok so to preface this post, I am new to the Thunderbolt. I picked it up when my Droid X died. I was really loving this rom until I found out that I couldnt get the wireless tether to work. Tried both the built in app and Wifi tether from the app store. From what I have read on the Dev thread, at least one of those options should work but I cant figure it out. In Wifi tether I tried different combinations of MSS claming and the routing fix but nothing would work. So I tried flashing a new kernel (tried Zoom, LeanKernal wouldnt boot for me). To be honest, I am still not clear on what the kernel does besides allowing you to overclock the cpu. Anyways, that fixed the tethering issue but made my GPS stop working. And I really really REALLY need both :)

Flashed CM7.1 this morning, seems to work ok, but I would really like to figure these problems out and use Jellyblur, this rom rocks!

Oh and one more thing. With the Tiamat Kernel I couldn't overclock past 1344Mhz with out stability issues. Is this normal? I used Rom toolbox to overclock.
