[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iomega311:
So I just got an S3 (Sprint version) and rooted it right away. I have left it as a stock ROM. I have been using "Wireless Tether" (green colored icon) on my HTC Evo 4G for the past 2 years without any issues.

When I got my S3, I found what looked like an updated version of "Wireless Tether" in the Play store. This time it is a yellow colored icon.

I saw someone say that the profile they used on it was for the Galaxy Nexus CDMA.

I tried that and I could have sworn it worked when I tested it.

Well, today, I actually needed my tether and no device I own is picking it up, although it is appearing to function correctly. It grants it superuser permission and then says it is running.

But nothing.

I have tried FoxFi as well with no luck.

I then used Titanium Backup to backup the version I have been using on my Evo and Dropboxed it over to my new phone.

I installed it and then opened it up.

It was granted superuser permission just fine too.

I turned on tethering... and once again, it appeared to be working... but no device is detecting a Wifi signal.

Is there any app that works to wifi tether on a stock rooted ROM?

Any reason why these may not be working?

Any help is super appreciated! Thanks!

Also I just realized this got posted in the i9300 section and not the correct one... I dont know how to move it.

Mods?

Well, incase anyone was wondering, I just flashed a custom ROM instead and now it works fine.

Wish it would have worked on stock ROM, but oh well.

You can also use S-Voice to do so. Just double press the home key, and say "send text to 'person a', "message body"

(where Person A = a person in your contacts list, and Message Body is the body of the message you want to send)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nxxx:
Might as well explain the situation before I ask my question.

So I ordered my N7 from Google on June 28th. On July 13th I went to Sam's and got a N7 that was defected, and I returned it. I just received my N7 from Google and that one ALSO has screen issues.

Question #1:

Will I be able to return my N7 to Google and get a full refund?

Continued...

After going through two defected Nexi I figured I should give GS a chance. I went to their website to see the trade in offers for the N7. I didn't see them. I have an old I touch and PSP that's laying around the house, so I wanna trade it in.

Question #2

Does anyone know if the trade in offers for the N7 are still going on?

If so, then I'll "preorder" a N7 from GS and get it delivered to my house in the middle of August...

Thanks in advance guys.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] anancr:
Hi, just wondering if is just my case, that when doing a full wipe from the recovery and having a swap partition, this partition gets formated in ext3, has someone experience this? is this normal? thanks.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] penthaler:
Experienced something similar. When full wipe data, minicm7 tells me I have 500MB large EXT partition.

In PC memory card still formated as "linux swap".

I formated card and created swap partition again and after that phone recognized it right - as swap - again.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] x10man:
Yeah, my phone did that. I fixed it. By doing this:

I made my 15GB fat data partition, a 1MB EXT4 for /sd-ext not to be used but stops phone formatting swap as ext. Then my 500MB swap partition. This works

X10man
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] anancr:
yeah... I have started using swap not so long ago, and I tend to flash and reflash roms, and always when doing the full wipe the partition ends formated, so I unplug the sd from the phone, mount it in the pc, reformat the partition as swap, mount it on the phone restart it and it remount it again as swap (sometimes I need to do it twice).

going to try making the 1MB partition the next time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] waveoperator:
Hi all,

I just bought a leather cover for my Nexus. Its a sideways flap which flaps on with the help of the magnets (two button magnets on the flap and two on the cover itself).

Altho they're not really strong magnets but when the phones in the cover, all the hardware is in the magnetic field. Will this eventually screw up the components of the phone??

I've a blackberry which has a magnetic holster n the blackberry devices r programmed to behave differently when inside the holster (ie in a magnetic field). So with the blackberry there seems to be no problem so far..

Would really appreciate your views on this....

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dextroz:
Hi all,

Since the Galaxy S3 has now been released on TMOUS, can the setup/framework/etc be ported onto the GSM Galaxy Nexus?

Is that a reasonable expectation?

There is a lot of FUD going around about how the wifi calling is device-specific and cannot be ported to any device.

I can understand that to a certain extent but the S3 and Galaxy Nexus have a lot of similar innards from what I understand so I wanted to revisit the situation. :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrowwy:
This actually isn't relevant anymore. Since T-Mobile switched to IMS it no longer requires custom IRL/Kernel to authenticate over GAN.

IMS has already been open sourced: see imsdroid or andoird-ims

This should/could be supported in any current version of Android if someone took the time to figure this out and hand the know-how to do so.

Unfortunately, I am not that person, but I think this could be realized considering the information available.

I have confirmed with T-Mobile that this requires an IMS SIM card, which they have just shipped to me for free (Arrives Friday). Other than that, it should be handled at the application level.

[HTC One X] SammyK300:
Hi guys, got an issue with my phone recently, 3G/H has been extremely slow using web browsing apps lately.

It's fine on other apps and if I run an app like speedtest or even facebook in the background the web app will run fine as long as speedtest is doing its thing.

I have no issue when on wifi.

Reseting the phone and clearing app data makes no difference.

My phone has the latest software.

Was fine till about 3 weeks ago.

Phone is 3 months old, this is the first issue.

Have tested with stock browser, dolphin and chrome.

I think this is a really strange issue.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

[HTC One X] DanRZ:
Hello don't you have a data limitation ?

I have 1 Go data limitation. After that my browser seems to be slow but it's because i'm limited in data bandwith.

I don't have anymore my full speed until next month ...

Make sure you don't have this limitation too.

Other apps that don't need "speed" datas will not show any problem

because they only download a little amount of datas at once ( weather for example ).

Does speedtest shows a low speed ?

Prbably not my povider as it's only the web browser apps.

I'm on 1.29.862.11

It won't be data limit, i don't get near it and it doesn't slow down anyway, they just charge me more.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shinesthru:
Between these 2 governors, has anyone noticed a significant advantage as far as battery life goes?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hayzooos:
Hopefully more people respond to this, as I'd like to know more details around the msm-dcvs governor. I had it enabled in Clark's 0.0.6 ROM, and I noticed it was pretty much locked at right around 1000-1500mhz. It wouldn't scale below that. I don't know if it was something in the ROM or not, but I used Voltage Control to scale the min down to 352mhz or whatever it is.

I changed the governor to ondemand and set as boot as service (was getting errors creating the init.d script) and it seems to be functioning fine now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EndlessDissent:
I've been using the msm-dcvs governor in CyanogenMod, and I've actually been having the opposite experience. It seems to max out around 1134MHz most of the time, though CPU Spy shows that higher clock speeds are being used, but rarely. The rest of the time is spent mostly around 384MHz. I haven't really tested it fully yet, let alone against ondemand. I'm going to keep using msm-dcvs since Qualcomm made it specifically to take advantage of our processors' scaling and voltage features. I haven't had any problems.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jhavron:
What has your battery life been like?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EndlessDissent:
Well, I've actually been forced away from msm-dcvs because there is a bug in the AOSP Jelly Bean implementation, and none of the devs involved with either CM or other AOSP projects will acknowledge that the problem exists, let alone fix it. So, I've been using the Ktoonservative governor. It's working pretty well for now, but I'd prefer if msm-dcvs just got fixed instead
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hayzooos:
Out of curiosity, what problems were you having? I have Voltage Control set to apply noop/ondemand at startup, but I just temp changed it back to msm-dcvs for kicks to see how it goes. I know it's the stock governor that came with the phone, so I'd like to stick with that if possible.

I thought I remembered seeing the speeds always be towards the higher end before, but I'll run it again now and see what happens. I'm using FreeGS3, v0.1.1 right now for what it's worth.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EndlessDissent:
With the stock CM10 kernel, as soon as I touch the screen, the frequency jumps to 1134MHz and stays there until you turn the screen off. Then, it drops to the min. speed until you turn on and touch the screen again, at which point it jumps back to 1134MHz and locks itself there.

With the KT747 kernel, the speed more-or-less limits itself to 702MHz, and it's nearly impossible to make it scale any higher. KToonsez refuses to acknowledge the problem, so it won't be fixed anytime soon.

I've gotten CPU Spy graph screenshots to illustrate the problems (comparing the stock ROM to AOSP ROMs while doing the same task), but all parties still deny the problems exist. I don't really know what to do to get them to fix it at this point, so I just gave up. I'm hoping it's just some JB driver issue and it'll be fixed when the official JB kernel source is released.

Hi,

RM-803 and RM-809, they both are variants of Lumia 710. As long as your phone is working, you need not worry.

RM-803 is the Global version where as the RM-809 possess carrier restriction. If you are using Custom ROM, your phone is full unlocked and you can enjoy all features of the phone (Yes, you'll not have carrier specific features for your phone.
