How about themes and apps that are cross compatible?

Samsung achieved a huge accomplishment by getting the same phone released in the same form on all major US carriers. They're not very different as evidenced by some/many of the hacks. Splitting up the forums is a step backwards and prevents users from reaping the benefits of the work/discoveries accomplished by developers on other carriers. But, I suppose I understand the pressure of giving in to dipshits that don't read or search.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Bizdady:
Stop messing up my bookmarks dammit!! lol
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Randomacts:
It being split does not help me in any way to be honest... General section and for some post Q/A will be better but every other section either worked for all phones or had its own "section" as it was....

They could have the "Galaxy S III Accessories" and the "Galaxy S III Themes and Apps" sections simply link to the international section.

Problem solved...
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] NotATreoFan:
I was a huge proponent of the merge back when it happened. Unfortunately it led to a major mess that I should have better anticipated. As it is now for members supporting multiple devices, they tend to create a thread for each carrier.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Bizdady:
Found Sprint!

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Randomacts:
I am more annoyed with the "Galaxy S III Accessories" getting seperated again then anything..:/ We all use the same cases excepet for the korean ones.

Sigh oh well I am glad I am on the bigger carrier for this...
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Chuki82:
I agree on the accessories being merged or all linking to the same forum. What about child links to the other carriers? Like if I went to ATT general section it would show Sprint, Vzw, Tmo, as child boards and link to the respective forums.

Just thinking aloud. At first I liked the general for all but it did get messy when things with carrier specific discussion started happening.

Or... Or!!! lol

Shoulda left it alone and just created carrier specific subforms under the general discussion lol

Either way thanks!
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] jjlean:
I think splitting up most of these is counter productive. It was really nice to see progress by all carriers in certain threads.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Bizdady:
What about certain themes and apps since most Cm9/10 themes and apps are cross compatible.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] mlin:
I'm annoyed by all of it. There is useful cross carrier information posted in Q&A, General, Accessories, and Themes&Apps all the time.

Will threads like this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1732018 be posted in all general sections?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Haro912:
+1. This is the third time I had to change. First was due to me being dumb though :D
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Bizdady:
Ya the themeing threads are extremely usefull for example.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] jjlean:

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] David Dee:
What happens to the Canadian Variants? Are we going to be merged with our respective US carrier equivalents?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] jsp20:
this is kind of a step backwards. What happens when the ROM's are universal?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] The Archangel:
If any of yall own any threads. Could you please put a prefix in the title so we know what threads go where.

This is more of a personal thing, if any AT&T users want to help me out, if possible create a list of threads from the remaining sections, so I can move them faster :)
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] falcons2:
Its about time lol. Thanks mods
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Bizdady:
Hmmm I started the Screenshot thread in themes for Sprint but it got merged to all carriers so I dont know If I should rename it lol
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Maverick777:
+1000 I really wish there was just one big Accessories section for all variants. I also enjoyed seeing the progress and discussions of other carriers. You can't please everyone and I understand the move. I'll learn to adapt. I just have to check even more sections now.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] mlin:
Or we can ***** and complain and inundate the Mods with PMs about how unhappy we are and constantly open threads about how the forums should be combined. The same way these tactics were used to implement this change...
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] David Dee:
I would suggest to put any Rogers, Bell, Telus or Sasktel threads with AT&T as they are all on the same i747 variant, unless of course there is another home planned for them.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] meltdeck:
I added your request to op hope you dont mind
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] jeffreii:
I'm not sure what the end result of this reorganization will, but it certainly seems to me that there should be a general S III forum where most issues are discussed - and then sub-forums for each carrier for discussions specific to that device only. The end?

I honestly find it kind of annoying that I have to watch so many forums for my device:

GS 3 general

GS 3 Q & A

GS 3 USA general

GS 3 USA Q & A

GS 3 AT&T development

Thanks either way for all the hard work of devs, contributors, xda staff, etc.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] The Archangel:
I'll keep that in mind

Actually yalls constant *****ing, wasn't the main reason why this split has occurred. The mods of the S3 sections did ask bout it constantly. Although NATF might say otherwise

Please do
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Overstew:
Personally, I'm excited due to the amount of questions and general talk about a certain carrier. Now I can look through all of the Sprint threads without going through 7 pages of Tmobile, AT&T, and Verizon irrelevance.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] djkinetic:
LOL split again..either doesnt bother me much
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] The Archangel:
@op thanks for updating the thread an adding my quote. Hopefully it'll speed things along

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] NotATreoFan:
The merge was initially done because we had high hopes that everyone would play in the sandbox nicely. Sadly this did not happen to the level we hoped for, although do not misunderstand, there was a lot of carrier-independent collaboration going on. It also ended up being a nightmare to keep clean and [relatively] free of clutter due to threads not being labeled correctly.

The Accessories sections have been merged with the International section, so clicking those links will take you to a one stop shop for advice on what to buy for your newest toy. Of course the Development and Original Development sections will continue as well.

Let's make the best of this situation. With some help from everyone, we can get everything sorted in a day or two. In the meantime, new threads should NOT be created in this section. It just increases our workload.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] zmore:
I didn't see this answered yet.

Where will the generic non-carrier-specific threads go? Into the international S3 forum?

e.g.: I had a "[Poll] White VS Blue" poll thread in general with almost 1000 votes. That doesn't belong to any one carrier (even though there is an option for Red, that's AT&T exclusive).

In any case, as long there's a generic forum, I'm fine with the forums being split again, but I will *sniff* miss *sniff* some of you guys. :crying: ... :)
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] gunnyman:
Back when I had my Inspire, we figured out that themes and such such from the Desire HD worked fine on that device. Somehow people managed to find what they were looking for without those forums being merged.

Thanks Mods. I'm sure once the dust settles everything will be cool and groovy.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] lopezpm:
Thank you for moving things back. Much appreciated.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] timpilcher:
US Cellular?

I know the phone's only been available on US Cellular for 2 weeks, but there is development going on.

I appreciate the hard work the Mods are doing, and know it's a real PIA when everybody chimes with their own opinion. Then again, all the *real* development for Android happens on XDA, and if the US Cellular SG III doesn't have a 'home' here, it's gonna slow development that much more.

Not to mention the noob's using ROMs, etc. from the wrong variant thread and spamming the AT&T, etc. devs w/ questions about the US Cellular variant. Regardless if there is a sub-forum for US Cellular, you *know* this is where people are going to go looking for info.

SOO . . if the US Cellular folks aren't a large enough number to usually qualify for our own sub-forum, you might consider adding one anyway for the sanity of all the other SG III groups.

Just a thought . . .
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] aNYthing24:
Maybe the links for accessories/themes should all link to one forum instead of each carrier having one?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] jeffreii:
I really hope all general/generic discussion is in one forum...and anything in the AT&T forum, for example, should require AT&T in the thread title.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] NotATreoFan:
I suppose we could do a subsection of the Verizon forum for US Cellular.

They are linked to International. Clicking on either of them will take you there.

This was our goal, but it didn't work out as intended.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] timpilcher:
That would be a good idea. I know that there are some differences between the two, but frankly I think most of us are smart enough to deal with that.

Just having a 'landing place' for the US Cellular discussion would avoid some pain both for us that use it and those that want to keep their own discussions on-topic.

Thanks for considering this - I can't imagine trying to sort this all out, and the GS III has only been available for a few weeks. It would have been a nightmare to deal with this a couple months down the road.

So kudos for thinking ahead! :good:
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Smac7:
ill miss you other carrier people.:crying:
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] mlin:
Right on, man. I know you mods do a lot of extra work for free as it is so I'm not going to actually employ these tactics, nor do I think its worth the effort to do so. In the end, either way the forums are set up I'm still going to be able to find what I need and do what I want (now it sounds like more work for me but less work for the mods which I can appreciate). I just thought it was funny how there were always threads started in the general section that opened with "I pm'd a mod about splitting the forums..."
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] jgalan14:
That's good :) no more are you on Sprint? Att? Tmobile? Lol oh yeah verizon ha ha

Have fun you guys!
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] aNYthing24:
The idea of a combined general section is a good one. Since the phones are basically the same, it helps people get more input on an issue. Shame it didn't work out.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] il buono:
Not really since it can be carrier specific at times. Chances are if you have an issue and it is a known one, others in your device forum should know how to deal with it.

To the Mods,

I know you probably don't want to deal with questions like this, but I have to ask.

The TouchWiz Themeing Questions thread in the Themes & Apps stickies has so far been a very valuable thread to the themers on all carriers. Is there a way we can keep this thread to where all of us can still easily find it in our respective sub-forum?

Thanks Guys!
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Babydollll:
I have a question about the "IMEI bug" that has plagued users of some US variants. Where will those threads be placed. I am anxiously following the issue and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

I apologize in advance if this IS A stupid question.

Throwing bricks since 2008.....and proud of it. :p
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] androholic:
WE WILL REBUILD!!

Questions that have already been answered will be asked again, devs will have to create more threads if their work is cross compatible, and if you following a thread that gets moved to another carrier then you will just have to jump around :(. None the less, I know the mods are only trying to do what's best, and follow through with this job at hand. I have a thread on imei loss that effects Tmo & ATT mostly & its now in the Att general section. I didn't have a chance to post a tag before it was moved, but those that are following will figure out where it is & stay up to date on it I'm sure. I really don't think there's a perfect solution to the forums, but having them separated will probably at least prevent many careless user errors...
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] The Archangel:
Where would you like me to move?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] cashyftw:
Ahh man, I think the combined way is better, I was keeping track with the different cm10 builds, seeing which bugs differer from each version. Then the general forum was a good place to keep up with everything. Just my 2cents.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Eddie Bombay:
Doesn't work still.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] David Dee:
Be thankful, at least you guys have forums, as opposed to us on the Canadian carriers, with no officially supported placement anywhere. I feel like a vagrant, constantly on my knees at the AT&T door, begging for support/acceptance :crying:

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] The Archangel:
First off all the threads are separated, look further down on xda.

Second try cleaning the app cache an/or data
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] androholic:
You know, it's probably just as fine in the Att general section as it would be in the Tmo general section. Either way it'll be missing in one of them. I'll probably just make a post in the Tmo general section with a link to it & asking users not to post in the link thread. I imagine that would work unless you think otherwise?

I really appreciate you taking the time to address me though, as I know you have a very full plate at the moment & plenty of concerns. Your hard work & efforts are very much appreciated and I know your intentions are to make the forums as helpful & user friendly as possible :)

I'm just going to let the dust settle & all of the threads to reach their final destination before I post any links...
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] The Archangel:
I might be able to copy the thread an paste it into the tmobile section.

I'm trying to make this transition as easy as possible for everyone, new or old users. Being a mod is more then just moving an cleaning, it's also helping users with some of their problems

Edit:i copied the thread over to tmobile it'll look identical to the original, besides my comment
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] :

Hey great! I appreciate you recognizing the threads importance to some of us. There are alot of guys who have been working very hard behind the scenes on the issue, and hopefully they will have a fix soon. I myself am not exactly an advanced user so their progress has been somewhat enlightening for me.

One last question while I have your attention Mr. Highway. I was asked in the thread to request it be stickied, but I'm not familiar with how to go about that? Is it a good idea to stickied it, and are you the person to submit that request to?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] biscuits1978:
I just got this phone (GSM model).

When I had it on initially, going through the first setup, it would not log into Google using my Gmail account. I rebooted and opted to skip this step. Somehow, I got it set up with the Gmail account. I verified that the data connection worked (3G/4G and WiFi both worked fine). Phone prompted for update to Jelly Bean, so I did it.

Now I cannot sign into my Google account at all -- on my 3G/4G data connection or WiFi. Data connection all the way around still works fine, but I have my apps and contacts synced to my Gmail account.

All it does is, after I input my email address and password, it says:

Couldn't sign in -- there was a problem communicating with Google servers. Try again later.

Is anyone else experiencing issues connecting to Google's servers? I've also tried to clear the data and cache for the Play application, but wasn't sure if there was another application that I could clear out, or another workaround?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
So you don't have any data/information on it right? Just try another hard reset. That couldn't hurt. Also try another Gmail account (If you have one), it might be only your account

Hi! I have written a script to convert mpo files from my Fuji W3 into jps to be able to view them on my HTC Evo 3D. I had to do that to crop the image using the parallax set by the Fuji, that the Evo does not read, but I have issues with some files.

The jps format is by default full-size, side-by-side, and cross-eyed (left view is on the right, and right view on the left). For some reason, the Evo displays some jps files correctly, but some others are swapped and the 3D effect is terrible. Do you know why and how the Evo decides to display the left view to the left eye and the right view to the right eye, and sometimes it swaps? :confused:

I attached 3 photos so you can see what I am talking about. For me, the DSCF2419 file is correctly displayed, and the DSCF2579 file is not (it has to be swapped, left view on the left, and right view on the right).
