Thanks for the reply guys, appreciate it... :good: But what i really want to know is, what's the nearest version i can get to upgrade based from my current phone infos now? Also, what's the nearest kernel i can use? I was told that i can not just upgrade it to another version, and that's confusing me. Thanks in advance again guys... :good:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reddead66:
What do you mean by nearest version?

And you can very well upgrade to any version you like 4.0 or even 4.1 and also revert back if you are not happy...

The process is same for any version you want to upgrade to...

Hi, have followed your advise, have another question.

Based from my phone info below, can i upgrade it to ICS PDA: I9100DXLP7 and CSC: I9100OLBLP7 from another country. I think XW is not from our region that's why i can't upgrade it via KIES. Now, if i want to upgrade it, i'll use PDA: I9100DXLP7 and CSC: I9100OLBLP7 which is from our region. Can you advise me on this? Thanks in advance... :o

Android version: 2.3.5

Baseband version: I9100XXKI4

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] azndan2:
I've tried tethering using foxfi (never works no matter which rom I'm on), android wifi tether (SSID doesn't show up 90% of the time), mobile hotspot (data connection drops out randomly), and native tethering in CM10 and I've always had problems.

I never had any issues on my past phones (Droid1, DroidX, Thunderbolt, Nexus, Rezound). Does anyone know why tethering is so buggy on this phone? Anyone have suggestions on which tethering app to use? The only way I can get the SSID to show up in android wifi tether is if I reboot the phone. I've tried all of these tethering apps/methods on beans, synergy, and CM10

My settings for android wifi tether are:

Device profile: Galaxy Nexus CDMA/LTE

Routing fix enabled

I've also tried

Device profile: Generic ICS

Routing fix enabled

Thanks

Foxfi works for me but for some reason I have to wait around 2-5 minutes for it to work
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmorton10:
I don't use it a lot as I don't want to take too many chances with losing my unlimited data from a VZ TOS violation, but when I do use it it seems to work just fine.

I used it last night for a while at a meeting where somebody else needed an internet connection & it worked just fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hakoreh:
I have the same problem
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] exoteric:
Are you using a custom Rom? Could that affect it at all?

WiFi tether for SynergyRom is pretty buggy (wasn't working for me at least). But FoxFi was working fine when I tried it. Although like a previous post, it would take 2-5 minutes for it to actually start working :/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] azndan2:
Thanks for the info on foxfi. I'll try using it again. I hope they can fix android Wifi tether soon as I use it every day: (
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] crabapples:
I have the exact same issues with Wifi Tether app. SSID likely to not appear but a reboot fixes it.

root6 ROM, same behavior stock versus having frozen a bunch of stuff. For quite a while I thought I had frozen something that made it work but after some tinkering I finally flashed back to stock and discovered that it's just unreliable. The only reliable answer for me is to reboot immediately prior to firing up the app.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ssnapier:
I have found that my laptop causes a connection delay sometimes... it is that stupid windows "identifying network" thing and it will prevent internet connectivity until it finishes. I have not seen the missing SSID at all and I have used both FoxFi and the stock stuff. I use it quite a bit (at least 2 hours per day, sometimes as much as 9) so I have a pretty good amount of time with it. I disconnect and reconnect at least twice during that in a typical day as well (out of range, or just not using the machine so i put it in hibernation).

I am on Root66 and have nothing frozen.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] psycho_asylum:
I have no issues using Wifi Tether on my stock rooted ROM. Here are my settings:

DNS: 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4 (personal preference)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] irod87:
Im using Foxfi....Works ok. I sometimes have to disconnect and reconnect because it seems to become inactivate. But its doing the trick till I get my home internet back up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] m52 power!:
I too have the same issues as op. All of them are very inconsistent, its extremely annoying!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jselden:
I am using a stock ROM. I use foxfi daily and have not had any problems or delays when using it. I have not changed any settings in the application itself other than changing the ssid. It only takes the 5-10 seconds to stop or start the tethering.

However WiFi tether on the S3 never worked for me.

Hello, I was wondering if anyone knew of an application that allowed for a tabbed application shortcuts widget in Android as was made available for Windows Mobile by SPB Pocket Plus. It appears that Hi Launcher supports a similar method, but it does not have a landscape mode, so it's not available for my tablet. Thanks for any suggestions you may have.
[Dell Streak 7] joeclark:
OK i have had my streak for a while now and I never noticed it doing it until i put ICS on my streak so i thought it was just an ICS Beta thing, but now i am back on Honey Comb and it is randomly rebooting on me, About 1-2 times a day it will just reboot for what appears to me no reason.

my S7 sits on my desk next to me most of the day and plugged in and turned on. So i am not sure what the issue is.

(side note battery was A LOT better on ICS, i could go all day with out plugging it in and still have 20-25% on my battery when i got home, but not with HC i cant even go 6hrs with out it beeping at me. of course this is moderate use. not just sitting there)
[Dell Streak 7] scottfree1:
This seems to help on rebooting, and battery issues can be helped by putting it into airplane mode, you can still turn-on wifi in ap mode but it seems to fix a power management bug when the screen is off..

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ch1ron:
Ok rooted my DHD about week ago with AAHK have now try 3 diffrence roms. the newest rom (icecold sandwish) is doing so weird things once in allpications settings phone was showing only like every 3th letter or so and some where was only some mess reboot fixed this. also have got some random crushes but had some with original 2.3.5. Also had some weird battery problems used battery to 0% loaded up to 100% and when started phone it says was still 0% and switching off stucked on screen replug battery fixed this.

batween on 1 and 2 rom didint clear cache did only factory reset between 2-3 (current) did full clear so wondering is my phone now bit mess cos didint do the cache and dalvik cache between 1 and 2 or is it normal to do some little bugs?

just wondering as i have now custom rom can i have back my original android what was in before root if it havent been backuped?

and last when you press power and - volum at start screen is hboot recovery and factory reset what will it do actually the same as in recovery or will it reset the devise to same state as it was when i 1st got it ?

Ty All!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teichopsia:
Do not do the factory reset - it will only make things really bad.

When in recovery, before flashing a rom:

Wipe data/factory reset

Wipe dalvik

Format all partitions (except sd card)

That will make sure a good install of whatever rom you choose.

All ics roms are buggy. The devs are still working on them.

Suggestion: flash a gb rom.

You should be able to find a stock rooted rom if thats what you want.

Sent from a dream.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reinaldo33897:
One you need to full wipe and then flash rom. On ice cold the messed up letters no need to reboot its the launcher so go into launcher setting and restart launcher should fix issue. If your on ice cold see if you have the cfs kernel or bfs kernel cfs is known to cause reboots. As for hboot you can enter recovery that way do not wipe factoey reset there without a rom on sd to flash. It erases everything and if you don't have a rom to flash after your will regret it and be back here asking why phone won't turn on.

[HTC One S] R3dbeaver:
'sup folks.

This thread is dedicated to my lovely wife who just couldn't make up her mind between One S ("kinda looks nice"), Galaxy SIII ("oh nice screen"), and iPhone5 ("when is it coming out? my 3GS feels old"). And between all 3 of them, "can i unlock them?" (in Canada, phones are locked to their ISP, so if I buy it from, say, Rogers, I can't just pop another SIM card from, say, Bell.)

So what do u guys think?

Personally, I'm an Android guy through and through. Can't fix it? Find a ROM to restore it. Boot another ROM. Root it on day one. So iPhone is out of the question. But I tend to like the look of One S better than SIII. and i had good experience with HTC phones. and SIII costs $100 more.

But she's been using iPhone3GS, love the simplicity, has no idea what 'rooting' is and why its necessary no matter how many times I explained that it's necessary for TiBackup to work... But she plays around with my Nexus7 and loves to stream Korean drama and check Facebook with it. And last time we went to Costco she saw the SIII on display and goes "oh wow, that's a nice screen. does it work like ur Nexus? I kinda want it." So mainly for her, OneS is the cheaper phone, but SIII's screen looks amazing, and she'll only be using her phone for;

a. take photos

b. facebook

c. browse the latest grocery flyers and baby product review

d. stream korean dramas

e. whatsapp

What do you think she should pick up? Or she should just wait for the next iPhone in a month or two?

Any input? :)
[HTC One S] clubkevin11:
I think your wife would be better of with the One S. she doesn't really sound like an advanced user that would really care much about the spec difference. the One S is $100 cheaper and can do the things she wants to do just fine.
[HTC One S] R3dbeaver:
thanks. that's what i think too.

say, what do u think between OneS's screen vs my RAZR? just for easier comparison for her to see, rather than going down to the local mall and play with one under the watchful eyes of eager salesmen....

nice. thanks!

so for my wife's sake, i can safely say "its like my RAZR, but the color is abit better".
[HTC One S] tgtoys:
I'd say 1S for your wife. Main reasons would be the superior camera and slim, sleek form factor. Honestly as much as I love my 1S I want to trade and get an S3, my hands are just too big for this thing!:screwy: but I think this is the best android phone for a woman hands down, it's a sexy device that's for sure.
[HTC One S] Marcel_87:
1S the best for sure... :)

To be hones I have not realy used the S3 myself... I have had it in my hands and just new it is way to big... I had the One X to start of with but then changed it for a 1S mainly because of the size... Why would I need a "mobile PHONE" with a quadcore anyway...?! :D
[HTC One S] s10shane:
i just traded my tmobile GS3 for a htc one s plus cash. the GS3 camera sucks at night. i can post photos in a few. my buddy has the evo 4g lte which should be the same camera as the one s. u will see a big difference in quality. also the GS3 was pretty big. i thought it would be cool but i didnt like it cause it was hard to use with just one hand. unless u got some big hands u might like it. plus the one s just feels better in the hand and it feels lighter. oh and HTC Sense 4.0 over Touchwiz anyday lol.

1st Pic: GS3

2nd Pic: Evo 4G LTE

3rd Pic: GS3

4th Pic: Evo 4G LTE
[HTC One S] Hunt3r.j2:
Comprehensive breakdown because I feel like doing one to refresh the mind.

CPU/GPU: Known quantity. One S isn't as fast as the GS3 here (international to international) but the reduced resolution of the One S hides the GPU deficit and the CPUs are basically equal. The US GS3 is same for CPU, slightly slower on GPU because they use the same chipset.

Display: One S is MUCH better in terms of calibration. The white point is accurate and gamma stays constant. Brightness is essentially only limited by hard protection, but you should never need to turn it up to that point. Overall, the One S has the better colors, GS3 has the better pixel density. Pick your poison.

Camera: Stock to stock, GS3 might win because the One S has pretty heavy compression on both video and photos. Once you get an HQ camera mod though, even the very best that the GS3 can produce is not as sharp as the One S. The One S doesn't use flash for focusing though, so that's something the GS3 wins on for low light flash photos.

Software: Sense is nice for people who know it, and looks nice too. Touchwiz is more functional but doesn't look as good. Once you get rid of Sense's 3D effects it runs much better on the home screen. Elsewhere is a matter of ROM optimization, and is basically close enough to not be worth discussing

Battery: The One S CAN be much better for battery life than the GS3, but requires much more management to do so, because even small battery drainers can lead to big loss of battery because the One S has a much smaller battery capacity compared to the GS3. GS3 is generally less efficient because of the very blue display, and the fact that it's a HUGE display. Exynos might draw more power too.

Design: Subjective. If you like metal, I guess the One S wins.

Decisive winners: If you care about expandable storage and removable battery enough to swing your decision, GS3 will probably be the one you want.
[HTC One S] Terminator19:
I agree with most of the above apart from:

CPU/GPU - The CPU in the one S is the better one overall as the performance per core is quite a bit better than the exynos quad in the GS 3 and at this stage currently with android and apps, it is far more important than having an additional 2 cores. Not only is it better for performance, but it is also better for power efficiency and the amount of heat given out

The GPU in the int. GS 3 is far better. Although as you said there isn't much difference in real world use especially as the S has the inferior res. so games etc. won't be as stressful.

Also the One S does beat the GS 3 in quite a few benchmark tests, the GS 3 only really beats it in tests that use/are dependant on the GPU i.e. quadrant (also quadrant gives quad core a better score just due to it having 2 extra cores)

In real world usage though, there isn't a huge amount of difference, I personally found the one S to be more snappy/instant feel and the GS 3 more smoother overall (there should be very little to virtually no difference when JB comes to both phones officially)

Camera - GS 3 100 times over the one S for 1080P video recording quality (however, the one s 100 times over the GS 3 for stereo audio recording :p), however, the camera for photos is more or less equal, some shots look better on the GS 3 and likewise for the S, however, the camera UI and features are far better on the S

Battery - The battery life is better on the S overall (personally I didn't do much tweaking to it, just turned stuff like auto brightness off, wifi max performance off etc.

However, with the GS 3 you can have the option to use spares and an extended battery at some point.......due to it being removable

Whilst the GS 3 does have a bigger battery, it needs it due to the bigger and 720P screen as well as a more power hungry CPU

Imagine how long the S would last with one full charge on a 2100mAh battery! :D

And yup, exactly, the extra storage of the GS 3 and removable battery are 2 of the main deciding factors IMO.

Honestly think your wife will prefer the one S due to size, sense (you really don't need to faff about with rooting and replacing every app with 3rd party ones, sense apps are great and they also look "pretty" :o :p)
[HTC One S] R3dbeaver:
very informative, guys! thanks!

i think 1S wins for her due to smaller size and (arguably) better/faster camera. she's quite a petite lady. and i dont think she cares about battery replacement or storage. haha, storage... all the years she owns 3G and 3GS, she downloaded a total of probably 10 apps. 7 she removed on the first day. (i know she kept the Economist, Whatsapp, and BBC News....)

but if she does wants the bigger "nicer" (in her own words) screen, then all bets are off... i'll talk to her again tonight :P

[HTC One X] ViktorN:
Go to your computer and download this: http://netload.in/dateigLuXPyJAwe/fastboot.rar.htm Open the .rar file and copy the fastboot folder to your computers C: drive. Open the .zip file of your rom on your computer and find the boot.img file to the fastboot folder that you just copied to the C: drive. Connect your phone with the computer. Boot your phone into Bootloder. You do that by holding down together both the power button and the volume down button for about 10 seconds. If it doesn't work on the first try, do it again. When you do that, go to fastboot. You do that by navigating through the menu with volume up/down keys and pressing power to select something. Run the Install Boot.img.bat script in your fastboot folder. When it's finished (should take about 3 seconds), select HBOOT from the FASTBOOT menu on your phone. There you navigate to the RECOVERY option and select it. From there you go to -install zip from sdcard > -choose zip from sdcard > navigate to wherever you put the ROM and install it. Go back and select -reboot system now. That should work.
