I seriously don't understand why these guys are answering when they have no clue what they are talking about. So now the GSIII doesn't have a pentile display? Please show me a link stating that.
[General Questions and Answers] MultiLockOn:
To be completely honest I'd strongly recommend the s3. Software you can change, hardware you're sick with. Will the nexus get software updates first? Yeah, but the s3 still ends up getting them. Hell my s2 it's getting jelly bean. The processing power boost is very noticeable, despite what people say. And with the nexus there will be times you'll notice it, it's very painful :P it doesn't hurt to get a nicer camera anyways, and your media experience will be fantastic with the s3. Not saying either are a bad choice, the nexus is a great phone, but I'd even choose the s2 over it, and i did. The s3 is very much better than the s2. In my personal opinion, i would say s3. But you can't go wrong either way. Hope i helped:)
[General Questions and Answers] AnnS:
That is basically the question! Very good points, thank you!

That is also a good point, software isn't permanent, while hardware is.

I want to thank you all for your views. You're all helping me decide and as MultiLockOn said, I can't go wrong with either phone.

Also thanks for clarifying the Nexus does have a removable battery.

I think I'll end up choosing the S3, buy I'll delay my buying until I'm positive. :)
[General Questions and Answers] vijilKiwi:
Huh, I was sure I saw that it didn't. Looks like it does.

In that case I'll probably get one :p
[General Questions and Answers] CaLiSwEEPeR:
Well if you are able to get the quad core version of the S3 then S3 > Nexus. If not I would probably go with the Nexus since it will probably save you a couple of bucks.
[General Questions and Answers] AnnS:
Yeah, that is actually the only version I can find. I was also interested in the dual-core and 2GB RAM version, but that one I can't find here!

nexus is far better than s3 ..........i find s3 looks are bad as compared to nexus...also s3 is not having jelly beans....so go for nexus 7

[General Questions and Answers] lowandbehold:
Another thing..if you go to the Nexus forums, there are ALOT of people that sold their Nexus, got a GSIII, missed the Nexus, sold the GSIII and came back to the Nexus. Yes, the GSIII has better specs, but technology is so good now that you hardly notice it (unless you are a hardcore gamer).
[General Questions and Answers] AnnS:
Thanks a lot! This is really a tough decision! Now I think I'll choose the Nexus, because as I said (and you said) it has more support and it's a great phone in general. What I don't like is that it only has 16GB ROM, if it had an SD slot, this would be much easier!
[General Questions and Answers] jdtenis:
I've been having the same dilemma. Im a T-Mobile customer, but without an actual contract. I just have the plan that doesnt give a subsidized phone. Here is the think. I'm between the GS3, the Nexus or wait for the G Note 2 or HTC One X+. The GS3 is probably the best phone right now, but it cost as low as 600. It has a lot of functionalities, but i dont think anybody will use all of them. GNex will have more support for future Android version and it cost only 350. It doesnt have the same functionalities as the GS3 or it is not probably as responsive and I hate that doesnt have an option for microSD or an 8megapixel camera and specially that feels and loons a bit cheap. The G Note 2 and One X+ will be awesome, but will cost probably 600-700 and will go on sale as soon as septemter.

Right now im deciding for the GNex since has Jelly bean and will get more version. It is only 350. And I think it is as responsive as you really need right now. It has NFC, im not locked in wait for an Android update that could never get.

Should I go for it?

thanks
[General Questions and Answers] GeekyNitz:
I'd say, go for the Galaxy nexus. Yes, the S3 is superior in some aspects but when it comes to customization I'd go for the Galaxy nexus. They're both customizable, yes. But the nexus is better cause it has support from Google. You won't need to flash roms just to experience the next big thing

It's all well and good that there's a fix, but why should the GPS need to deal with servers at all? It should even be able to get a signal/lock without a SIM card.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
A-GPS data helps things along because its not always easy or fast to acquire a lock with just a GPS chip. If you had to sit around and wait for a GPS chip only lock every time, you'd be quite frustrated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leppo:
I can understand that, but I guess when I see everyone talking about GPS, I take them to literally mean GPS, and not A-GPS.

I should say that I didn't specifically test satellite-only GPS this weekend, so I don't know for sure what was the case.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] yago_nfs_tm_91-:
Hello,

The OTG technology ( On The Go / USB Host ) works with the LG Optimus 4X ?

Thanks.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] monthirut:
OTG work all ICS. But it not work on 4xHD.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Sharpshooterrr:
Will root enable it?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] yago_nfs_tm_91-:
Why !?

can be the root we can activate the OTG, as was done for the HTC One X (EternityProject Kernel) and the Nexus S! (stickmoun)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] yago_nfs_tm_91-:
you think the update to Android 4.1 will add the USB Host?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Sharpshooterrr:
USB OTG really a no go for the O4X?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] mabz2k:
i've just got off the phone with LG uk, they told me that the phone has usb host support but it's on the phones with ics not gingerbread.

can anyone confirm this?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] domenukk:
There are no O4X phones with gingerbread at all...
[LG Optimus 4X HD] mabz2k:
the person I talked to said they used gingerbread on it, I'm guessing it was an Early version. But if it has ics on it and usb host doesn't work I'd complain to them. Obviously make sure i am using the correct cable before hand so it's not user error.

if i can get this phone once it's released in the UK I'll probably try this out.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] antiself:
Cable is connected and it does not work. Unfortunately, no device is detected. :( The device is rooted. Somebody news?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] papahuhn:
OTG is not enabled in the kernel. This feature is not compilable as a module as far as I know, and hence the bootloader is locked, we cannot use a custom kernel (kexec is also disabled).
[LG Optimus 4X HD] nolimit88:
already root my LG Optimus 4X HD still no hope using OTG

little dissapoint in here

someone have solution ?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] L2Deliver:
Rooting alone will not magically enable OTG. Rooting your phone but not doing anything else doesn't make any difference besides voiding your warranty.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] SimonTS:
Rooting your phone does NOT void your warranty. It is a simple matter to unroot if you need to send the phone back for repairs - and if it is so badly screwed that you can't unroot it then it is highly unlikely the service centre would be able to tell that you had rooted it in the first place.

Messing around with your bootloader, using an XTC-Clip to gain S-Off (as I had to do with my old HTC DS) and stuff like that, however, does run the risk of voiding your warranty - but even then they cannot refuse to fix a genuine hardware problem unless they can prove you caused it by your actions.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] ChanixHadez:
Hey guys,maybe you can try this step :

1.root your HH

2.install "android terminal emulator"

Hi guys

my cell phone's (usb otg) doesn't work too ((optimus 4x hd))

it's not possible

i connected a mouse but it didn't work correctly

the other android phones can work with mouse and keyboard without any problem

but in 4x when i'm connecting any hardware it doesn't happen any things

i installed usb storage manager and usb host controller but they didn't work

at the first i thought my usb otg cable broken

what about you ?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] blumenkasten:
This needs a newer kernel, so with version 2.6.x it won't work.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] zerooonekenobi:
Apparently we do not have OTG period:) Got the same info from both RO and UK Customer Care reps. Time to change phones:)

"Thank you for your email regarding your P880 handset.

Hi

The phone has an on screen keyboard and a thumb is a built in mouse pointer , if you need to do some serious typing then get a notebook :)

I have an OTG cable with my phone and it doesn't work.

I'll be trying the sixaxis bluetooth pairing with the logitech k400 soon
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Feregorn:
The Sixaxis controller works great, over bluetooth, with the LG O4X. You just need to have rooted the device and then it's a matter of following the intsructions precisely in order to set it up!
[LG Optimus 4X HD] optimuswhite:
I thought we discussed USB OTG functionality here
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Subhajitdas298:
thats not an useless reply. At least we know, something works.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Kanad:
The HTC device with Tegra3 has unofficial USB otg support, but that hack requires external power support :( so we can have the same if we get the bootloader unlock
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Feregorn:
That HTC device, to which, I surmise you are referring, is the HOX. But that one, with the release of JB got officially enabled for usb-otg without the need for weird hacks and external power sources. Probably the same can happen for our device too!
[LG Optimus 4X HD] aaron_gavin:
usb otg + 4x hd = :(

im gutted that the probability of getting usb otg on my recently rooted 4x hd is about as likely as it seems lg will unlock their bootloaders or release 4.1... on the device.

i think the solution for me (if the phone supports it?) will to invest in a bluetooth keyboard and mouse (maybe ill get an apple magic mouse for its relevant functionality - i think not too bad of me/supporting apple if i buy second hand and use on an android device).

furthermore, cheers for the idea re; sixaxis controller (would probably be a good substitute for a mouse and make gaming on the phone great!). after researching the idea looks like getting the app to run the controller and setting it up should not be too hard (even for someone new to this like me).

too bad no one has worked out how to get a 'full mirror' mode on the mhl hdmi out, otherwise android games and emulation would work a treat on the big screen (maybe the next best thing will be to buy one of those gameklip attatchments).

anyone got any better suggestions/tips for a better desktopy/gaming experience within the limitations of this device?

cheers!
[LG Optimus 4X HD] rectus:
Hey!

So the LG Optimus 4x finaly got the update to 4.1.2 Jelly Bean. Has anyone tried again with the USB OTG function. Ive been talking to the LG support here in Slovenia and they said that officialy does NOT work. Now I want to know if there is any workaround since the update came out.

Thx for help.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] blumenkasten:
You need a newer kernel variant, 3.4.x and up.

The forum has a search function! :sly:
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Adam77Root:
You don't need a 3.4 kernel for OTG. There are working implementations on 2.6 kernels as well.

But specifically for the O4X, you need EPRJ kernel (which is by the way on version 3.4).
[LG Optimus 4X HD] blumenkasten:
These are backports. USB OTG was implemented later.

otg iodak

Hi,

I am trying to activate OTG with Iodak kernel but i have some problems in terminal editor...

I typed

su

echo1

/sys/kernel/otg_mode/otg_enable

and pressed enter after every row...then i get the message: can't execute: Permission denied.

Where is my mistake here?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] mo_oin:
well type su and hit enter to get root access.

after that ur prompt should change from smthing like "u0_a65@p880:" to "root@p880:".

this should show u that u are root atm.

after that write in one line "echo 1 > /sys/kernel/otg_mode/otg_enable".

if an error occours 4 any reasons try to go manually to the desired file by typing "cd sys/kernel/otg_mode" and after that "echo 1 > otg_enable"

basically all u do with this is writing a 1 to a file.

First off this is my first android device, so I'm a little confused.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] SiNJiN76:
Look for the FlipFont thread in the themes and apps section. Those are in apk format so all you have to do is install the fonts like an app and they will show up in the font settings of the phone.

This is a modded Moxier World Widget with transparent weather icons and background.

I've always preferred this widget over any other because it shows the time and weather in three locations at a time.

This is an improvement of my previous attempt which only made the background transparent.

The aspect ratio of some icons are a bit off because they had to be stretched to match the expected size.

ps:Remember to uninstall your old version as this one is signed with a different signature.

Friend has been using the i9000, and I have the latest RC of cm7 on it.

She says that once in a while the phone will either reboot, or the screen goes dim and becomes unresponsive and she has to pull the battery.

I will be letting her have the phone as a gift but I want to flash a rom on there that is just rock solid (dont care about features). Just SOLID/stable as she doesnt know to flash any updates and I wont be flashing any more updates to it.

I was thinking about just putting on the latest nightly of cm7 but I dont see any changelogs for it to see what was fixed between the RC and nightly.

I was also thinking about Gamerzrom.

any more suggestions?

[Galaxy S I9000 General] AlwaysDroid:
use cyanogenmod 9 RC2. Bug free basically. As for the freezing, are you using stock kernel? Cause it may be a hardware error. My friends phone had it after ics upgrade and all i had to do to fix it was install a custom kernel and bump up the voltages for the 100 and 200mhz frequencies by 25 - 50mV.

ok so I've been suggested so far:

tiramislim with devil kernel

cm 9 RC2

aokp m6 (probably the one i've heard least about)

and a stock rom (I thought custom roms are supposed to remove bugs?)

to answer your question, yes it is on the default CM7 kernel
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dreamer94:
Yep.Custom roms always faster than stock ones.But if we are talking about bugs,hmm.. i dunno..Stock must be better at that.

If your friend is not using her phone too much,i mean just making calls and sms also music etc,flash stock rom and give ut as it is.No need to root.. Pure stock.

I suggest you to flash 2.3.4 JVQ.Then change CSC by typing

*#272*imeinumber# to XEU

Get latest open europe stock firnware from kies.With that she can get latest updates easily.

Decide whether you want to put ICS or GB on it before asking for suggestions I reckon.

I'm gonna give a second vote for CM9 RC2. Before jumping to Jellybean, I used the CM9 nightly builds with the semaphore kernel. For me it was always rock solid, and still blazing fast. No bugs. Cheers!

I didnt think cm9 was this popular and considered so stable yet
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Vertron:
ICS Elite 1.4.1, it's very fast, stable and bug free. It is also the final version of the rom so there will be no more updates anyway.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Wond3r:
You are the second person who has said that stock and not a custom rom will make it more solid.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] xpcomputers:
without intending to offend all girls on xda (who probably DO care about tech stuff - which is why they are here), sadly most if the girls I know are more concerned about the colour of the phone than which rom it has.

So, if said girl is fitting my terrible stereotype, then you'd be better off asking her which is her favourite colour and picking a suitably themed rom of the right colour! (as long as it is stable enough).

For all girls who DO care about tech: I apologise for perpetuating such offensive sexist rubbish! I SALUTE you!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Badzoo:
Slim ICS for me after gamerz rom (last release often hangs for me each time I load too much things in App) and Darky (ok but got quickly crowded by apps and started to lag).

The slim roms allows you to have good battery and small memory footprint, then you add apps to it. Since a week, it's rock solid, I got half day extra in battery life too with my usage (mix of movie/media/3G surfing during 30 minutes commute each way + 20/30 min daily calls)

Hello, i am running Android version 2.3.7 on a Samsung Infuse

Due to water damage my phone no longer recognizes when a headset is plugged in or not, and thus always thinks that it is plugged in.

I have found an app that forced the audio to play through the speakers of the phone, but i am unable to find an app that does the opposite which is forcing the audio through the headset.

if it helps, the app that does the opposite of what i need says it does 4 things:

Headset false

A2DP false

SCO false

Speakerphone false

I also realize there are widgets that can accomplish forcing the plug/unplugging of the audio, but i really need a very simple app that forces the audio to headset when opened. (i need the app instead of a widget to use it with tasker and other things, widget is very limiting.)

if it could be done through tasker that would be great too.
