[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronaldjanr13:
Update: its just as simple as it is..

Requirements:

1. Wireless network

2. Media Servers (I use nero Media Home or Plex Media Server)

3. Wireless/Mobile Device smart phone (GSIII) or Smart TV (LG LW5700).

1. Open and start Stream Media Server

2. Import Videos SD or HD

3. Open Default Video Player of SIII then

4. tick scan for nearby devices

5. Wait till scan finishes (processing...)

6. Tick the movie you want to play

That's all Thank you..

additional note: in my experience GSIII is having trouble to scan the videos on the media server at first

then found them after during several scanning tries but once it loaded the video you can watch them with ease.

I dont know if it was a setting on my router or the media server thats making it hard to scan the videos.

if there are other methods it would be glad to share your inputs.

Would you be ok if microsoft(verizon) sells you a PC(phone) and had you locked out the administrator account... Leaving you with no choice but to use the GUEST account?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] skrypj:
I havent seemed to have a whole lot of luck with the "aftermarket" roms. The only one thats really worked for me is the factory rooted rom you flash to get root initially. I have tried AOKP, CM10(one of which did something causing me to need a new sim card to get 4g working again, even after flashing back to factory stock and doing a factory format) and a few stock-based roms(one of which didnt seem to have solid data connections, the other would get stuck at the boot logo for 30 minutes and would never boot.)

My suggestion, if you do root, back-up your IMEI data. There is a thread on this in the development section.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Clegs:
I've been running Synergy and loving it. If there is nothing you want to do extra with your phone then why go to the trouble of rooting it? That said, by rooting you can do things such as install Cerberus (anti-theft software) so that if someone steals your phone they can't even uninstall it. It allows you to remove the bloat that comes with your phone as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jcbzr:
Rooting it and flashing a rather vanilla kind of stock ROM so that it has less applications that will hardly if ever be used. Check out kyanROM, that's the ROM I'm currently using and it saves me a ton of battery!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DROID3R:
there is no kyanrom for verizon

VERIZON GALAXY S 3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmorton10:
I flashed the rt66 ROM on the first boot out of the box & I absolutely LOVE it.

I then debloated it, installed AdFree, flashed CWM & installed free wireless tether to take advantage of my unlimited data.

I made a few visual tweaks, changed the battery icon to a white digital readout to get rid of the ugly green battery that didn't match anything else, got rid of the GPS icon etc etc. I use Nova launcher (switched from Apex) mainly to get a landscape home screen option.

I absolutely LOVE my setup, it flies & I have not had one single problem yet. I have yet to have a single FC or freezeup & I couldn't be happier with it.

So, my note got run over, and I have an upgrade available... so I think I am going to use it on a new device. I hate the lag with the S3 chip in the note, so I want to go with either the galaxy s3 or the HOX. The HOX is a bargain right now, at $99, and seems hard to resist. BUT, I hate hate hate bloatware, inlcuding sense and touchwiz. So whichever I choose, has to have an active developement community... particularly AOSP, and even better - cyanogenmod. Is this device getting attention from CM developers for CM9 and 10 or is activity slowly dying down now that the galaxy S3 is out?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Badger2point0:
First thing you should do is take a peak in the Development section and judge for yourself, seems pretty simple because it is that simple.

Development has been held back because of kernel source but that was all just released this past week and things are actually picking up quite nicely. I won't explain any further because 30 seconds in the Development section will open your eyes better than my writing can.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Saenzscene:
Just like above. Check out development section. There is cm10 being worked on as I type this. Seems really good from what I see. I think you will be happy.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Artood2s:
The S3 has a lot going for it, but it's no contest on which has the superior screen, especially with outside viewing. That to me is the biggest differentiator. Development should pick up now that the source (for 4.0.3 anyways) is out.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] droidiac13:
The development community is moving forward here. I personally would choose the One X over the SGS3 every time, but that's just my opinion.

My HOX has been Nocturnal'd. Has yours?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Chrysis:
Yeah just as others have mentioned, it took a bit before kernel source was released, but even then we had quite stable CM9/AOKP builds, and extremely nice sense ROMs. But now that source is finally out I think we can expect lots of future development, with Jelly Bean builds of CM10 and AOKP out before too long I'd imagine, and custom kernels already being released. Both are really great phones but IMO especially for $99, I'd definitely take the HOX over the SG3.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] irvgotti:
If you were going to.make the decision based only on the development progress made on a device we all have to be honest in saying the s3 is the clear choice considering we just got source. But as far which device I rather own and live with I have to say one x. But you'll there's plenty of threads comparing the device if you search the forums.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mainecrab:
This phone has good hardware the software is fine too but right now all development is either into a stock rom with different features or some built that mostly work. I say wait before flashing anything too major I have had so many small issues that are because of things not being updated on OP or just too many pages or the developer themselves or sudo developer just releasing things they have no idea what they do. Just hold a while and give it some time to flourish. I would root and unlock the bootloader now and just sit pretty.

Really wish I had gotten a Galaxy Nexus instead of this phone tired of messing with phones to have a working good rom.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] abhipati:
I Had s3 along with htc one x. But screen of s3 sucks when compared to htc one x especially under direct sunlight. If You compare both phones screen side by side u will understand the difference. But if ur ok with super amoled screen then go with s3 because always having extra ram is good

Slcd on htc one x kicks s3 ass

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skizzy034:
So you're blaming developers for mistakes you've probably made?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] SoberGuy:
Or being too lazy to read and figure out what's what.

Seriously, these are custom ROMs by people who donate their time and energy. And they're free. It takes time to find the bugs and work them out.

Some people shouldn't flash anything...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Saenzscene:
no idea what they do? Your kidding me right? Totally agree with the two posts above mine. The developers are great and work hours for us to benefit from their work. For you to say that don't know what they are doing is complete crap lol

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] loudog3114:
I also really like the idea of just getting a nexus device, but the hardware just doesnt even compare any more... the 5mp camera would be a real killer. A co worker of mine has the galaxy nexus and while, hardware wise, it falls way short... the end user UI experience is flawless.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] loudog3114:
Well, I took the plunge. Time to start hacking. One another note, holy **** is this thing snappy. The S4 makes a HUGE difference.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skizzy034:
I sold my Note to get the One X and I don't regret that decision.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] irvgotti:
Thats the first thing i noticed. I saw the note and got stocked on it then a few months later when i had my upgrade available i saw the one x and was amazed at how smooth it was.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mainecrab:
I did not blame any developer in my post and thanks for assuming I do not know how to read. I know how to read very well and have been modding and messing with devices since I was a child. What I am referring to is more than one post in which the supposed developer or person just relaying what they found does not know anything about what they are doing and posting things they " think work " I have no problem in testing things for a developer and letting them know and I have in fact donated to developers that work on the One X specifically.

I just have run into at least since I have had my one X where I have flashed a file to say add something for sound that messed up the video because the actual OP did not seem to understand what his flash was doing.

But I guess I will stop posting if giving advice on development and my opinion on the current situation rubs you the wrong way..
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] SoberGuy:
Dude, really? Really? Can't tell if serious or trolling...

Yeah, some mods effect other things. Who'd have thought that would touch the video? Weird, eh? But they should check every single app, and every single little thing just in case you might have to spend 5 minutes restoring a nandroid? You obviously don't have a clue, but this normal and standard, even in the real world with real, paid professionals. Ever seen an update from a carrier break some other functionality? It happens. Get over it.

And when someone says you're a whiny troll, your answer is to take your ball and go home? Grow up, man. Really. Understand that mods might break other functionality, or don't flash stuff. Pretty simple.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] droidiac13:
I had the POS called the Galaxy Nexus before the HOX. If all you care about is ROM development, then sure get the gnex. But if you want a phone that works, takes great pictures, doesn't heat up, has the best screen on the market and a battery that lasts more than four hours, you made the correct choice with the HOX.

My HOX has been Nocturnal'd. Has yours?

IMEI ALREADY CORRUPT?

Use THIS custom built tool to easily generate a backup file with your properly formatted IMEI to restore your phone!

1) Enter your IMEI (find it behind your battery) in the text box up top, hit generate then hit save.

2) Use "NV-Item reader writer" to write the saved text file back to your phone and then reboot.

Time and money have been invested into this project so donations are appreciated.

Donations: HERE

ATTENTION: I need a copy of someones full backup. Requirements are that you never flashed an AOSP rom (CM9, CM10, AOKP) and that your SGS3 is T-mobile. I need this to work on the data issue!

Update: The data issue is still being worked on and some progress has been made but there is still not a solid easy fix.

IF YOU MADE A BACKUP THEN GOT THE DATA BUG, PLEASE MAKE A SECOND BACKUP SO THAT I CAN COMPARE THE BEFORE/AFTER!

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rgoyena:
Has anybody restored a backup and worked?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] <:GeeK:>:
If you are trying to write something other than your stock IMEI it will not work. Also, make sure you have both of the boxes checked before you hit the read button at the top so that is sends the 000000 security code to the phone and unlocks it.

*when i say unlock i do not mean carrier unlock, so dont get exited people. ;)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nunyabiziz:
I put everything back to stock because it wasn't working with root and insecure kernel.

Thanks!

If you want a FULL backup just read the phone with the default values [Range (Dec): 00000-65535].

It is actually a more comprehensive and easily managed backup than what the old RF NV item manager in qpst offers.

The 00550 [hex 226] is just for the single item that handles the IMEI.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Narcistic:
^ Probably should update the OP with that.. As Im sure some will prefer A FULLL "just in case" backup, and others just the IMEI..

Always good to list the choices/options

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sark666:
I just assumed that I could use any bluetooth microphone for voip, voice recording etc. I currently do not have any bluetooth device but I tried 3 at a friends and they all paired for sound, but failed to work in using a voice recording app or a voip app. In a voip app the sound went strange (long sounds on the dial tone buttons) and then the sound resumed coming out of the tablet even though the headset device was showing as connected. Only a reboot solved this.

So I assume the bluetooth stack doesn't support recording, but why not? Isn't this a basic thing at this point? If I connect a bluetooth headset with mic that should be my input and output on sound for the time it is connected.

Or has anyone had success with a certain bluetooth model for recording?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sark666:
No one can provide info on this? Is this the norm for tablets? I would assume even some ancient gingerbread phone would work with bluetooth headset/mic.

Does cyanogen team ever modify the kernel to include more functionality such as this?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AraDreamer:
I'd check other bluetooth threads around this section, but I've heard several people who've used bluetooth headsets with Nexus tablets. It may be a setting issue (particularly the device setting under bluetooth and the app settings concerning headsets).

-Ara
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ExploreMN:
My Motorola HS850 works perfectly with the N7.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craigwillie:
Same here, Plantronics bluetooth headset works perfectly for voip calls using Talkatone.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sark666:
Thanks for the info. I don't have the model names off-hand but I'll ask my friend what they were. I wasn't aware that once a bluetooth device was paried that there were any additional options. I was under the impression that it was simply pair and use. With the case of a headset/mic I assumed it was inherited as your sound output/input for all apps while paired. The voip I tried is csipsimple and a voice recording app. I'm glad to at least some models work but I hope it isn't hit and miss and you have to be selective of what bluetooth device you use but rather something I was doing.

I didn't expect there to be any settings as well because even with no bluetooth recording device paired, I don't see anywhere in the settings recording recording (like mic volume).
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sashusmom:
Can't get mine to work. Single ear set I don't even get sound. Just dead air all around. The Southwing SA505 stereo gets sound fine but no mic function and on Groove ip no sound or mic on single ear or stereo. I even checked the settings making sure bluetooth was selected.:(
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sark666:
I'm from Canada so I can't try talkatone as I can't get google voice. I now purchased a btheadset. It pairs fine and I hear audio in all apps but I haven't found one app yet that works with the bluetooth mic. I wanted a voip sip app. I've pretty much tried all the free ones and other users have posted comments of bluetooth issues as well. There are a couple of paid sip apps that claim to support bluetooth, but I don't want to buy them to only find they don't.

So yes, android supports bluetooth mics, my thread title is inaccurate, but it seems the vast majority of recording apps do not have proper bluetooth support. Can someone name any app besides talkatone, even a voice recorder that works with bluetooth so I can just test it?

I'm actually surprised it's this bad. Bluetooth audio isn't that cutting edge. It should pair and now act as your soundcard so to speak. I initially thought to blame the OS because I thought any app that requests to play a sound or record a sound, would be re-directed by the OS to now use the bluetooth device.

I'm pretty sure it works exactly like this on windows. Or for example, I have a usb headset on my pc. It shows up as a soundcard. I make it the default and every app now uses that. No developer had to code to use a usb headset/mic, it just works.

Again a little disappointed that it's been a little trying just to get a bluetooth headset to function properly. I tried 3 at my friends that all pair fine and work flawlessly on his playbook in all his apps, and now I bought 1 so it's hard to say all of these bluetooth headsets have quirks and don't work properly with android.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sark666:
Still trying to get this working. It pairs fine, and shows in the bluetooth details as being connected with phone audio and media audio.

It's a Aluratek ABH01F which I've read great things about. It supports a2dp. I'm not too familiar with bluetooth and microphones so I'm not sure if there is anything else to check for android to support a bluetooth microphone.

I don't know why I didn't think of it before but I tried google's voice search and it doesn't work either. I can hear the audio fine, just no mic.

Can anyone confirm if google's voice search works with their bluetooth mic? You probably have to walk out of the room to verify it's not the units mic that is picking it up obviously.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sark666:
I'm not convinced bluethooth mics work at all on the nexus 7. I could chalk it up to my headset just doesn't place nice with the nexus 7 but again I tried 3 bluetooth devices at my friends. I found this post on another site:

http://www.nexustablets.net/forum/nexus-tablet-audio/985-does-headset-jack-have-microphone-capability.html

Again, I hear audio fine via bluetooth, so I wonder if some of you were thinking the bluetooth mic was working but it was actually the unit's mic.

This app called tapemachine specifically states it has bluetooth support. It fails for me when I change it to bluetooth in the settings, can someone else try it?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samalyse.free.tapemachine&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5zYW1hbHlzZS5mcmVlLnRhcGVtYWNoaW5lIl0.

So I'm starting to think my thread title is correct. If I am, I'm hoping there is a way to hack some file changing the available audio profiles. I've read others doing something similar with different devices when the manufacturer disable those audio profiles. I would find it doubtful that google/asus would do this though.

Anyway, if anyone can try that app, or confirm that say grooveip is using the bluetooth mic and not the device. An easy test is tap on the unit mic while recording and see if you or the person you are talking to hears that.
