I just got a replacement from Asurion and it was brand new :D. Or at least I think it was. There wasn't any stickers saying it was certified like new or refurbished.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] voodoomanx:
You got lucky or perhaps they ran out of cpo's.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] johnnilsson:
He got a replacement through Verizon they are cln. Asurion when phones are not old will replace with brand new phones. When I had my nexus replaced through insurance it came brand new in the box but you do pay a deductible vzw replacements are free.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] johnnilsson:
Also when phones have just came out in stock Verizon replacments are usually new phones with cln stickers. Pretty hard to have a refurbished phone when its only 3 weeks old.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] simollie:
GPS at least works now, still not great like other people were reporting (lock in few seconds even indoor).

This replacement is actually better than the one I had in all aspects. I had a few minor issues with the old one (a tiny scratch on the screen, a clicking sound when I press behind the volume button, home button sticks out too much), the replacement doesn't have any of those problems. maybe it really is new just with a CLN sticker. Anyway I'm a happy camper for the time being.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] voodoomanx:
True. My bad. OP was warranty and I didn't slow down to see the other poster was an insurance claim.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tcb4:
ha ha take off the stickers when you go to sell it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BeastMode3215:
It all depends on Asurion's stock of phones. Typically with a phone that was just released they will end up having to send out brand new phones as replacements. As the days move along past the release date more and more individuals have returned them or sent it something that was minor to fix. This is when you are pretty well garunteed to get a CPO product.

The iphone for example has an higher insurance fee each month because the posibilities of them being able to fix whatever is wrong with the phone is much more unlikely than with an android. So the chances of getting a brand new iphone are like 45%.

Just some background as I work for Asurion. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ChrisNee1988:
I had the same issue with my gps. I think if it is within 2 weeks of your purchase they can give you a new phone. I was just outside of my 2 years and I was able to call customer service and request a new phone, but since i got it over the phone, they had to charge me for it and would refund it after I returned my old phone. I just shipped out my old phone a few days ago so I don't know when i'll see the refund.

Is there a Way to get the One X Music App to our phone? (:
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] lets_zock:
Nobody? (:
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] bassie1995:
Maybe extract it from a One X ROM, place it in your system apps? Might be harder, considering it's got lots of features and integration with other apps on the phone.

And you should have asked this in Q&A ;).

As i was searching the build.prop to disable the fast dormancy i found 2 rows that says speaker volume is from 20-31 and underneath audio.speaker.voice.0=20 to 31 and the same for earpiece is there any case increasing those values to get higher sound or we will mess up with the phone? xD

I have around 8000 contacts. At first when i got it it would open right away. Now it takes a minute or two even after restart :(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
lol, 8000 contacts?! Can't imagine why it takes a while to open?! You have contact pics too?! :rolleyes:

Try running a cache cleaner app maybe to have a thorough cache clean, with cache cleaner ng you can select which you want to clean, I pretty much clear all apart from maps, I run it once a day,, keeps things clean and smooth
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yonatanl2:
I recently started experiencing this problem also, awkward it happened all of the sudden. I have 300ish contacts
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbzkarim:
Okay so this is what i know for sure. The contacts app on CM 10 like paranoidandroid works amazing. Its the main reason why im not sticking to a sammy rom. so for sammy rom users try unlinking facebook/skype whatever app from your contacts. If that doesnt work then your contacts have already been filled with heavy bits of info like profile pictures extracted by facebook app etc. So thats whats keeping your contacts laggy. the best fix i can think of is to delete facebook, backup contacs, back em up again with another app to be safe, delete both fb and all contacts. reinstall fb and dont select merge with contacts or whatever it asks. THEN restore contacs. Ill try it when the original sammy jb is released and write back on how quick it loads.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gulstein86:
Is there any modded apk for contact apps yet? I've experience the same slowness but I still wanted to stick with sammy.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fabianocruzdf:
I used xposed framework to lock it in memory, feel little fast but not so much.

In my old S2 contacts app was really fast... This is sad...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
I never found this reliable. But it is Memory management related. Its not the app itself, rather the samsung Android ROM. There's no real solution for this problem if you want to remain on a Samsung ROM.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fabianocruzdf:
Do you know if this happens in s4 or note 2 as well?

I want to buy a Galaxy Note 2, does he have the same problem?

I don't know. I don't own those devices.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kbjcooke:
I've searched the forums and haven't found a real clear answer to the questions I have.

First of all, I have the OTA ICS update waiting for me. Right now, I'm rooted running Gingerbread with the stock ROM. I'd really like to install the update, but I've got concerns.

Do I need to unroot my phone first before the update? If so, how? I've read several different articles, but they're all different, and people always have some issue or another with the methods. Is there a surefire way?

I know I should back up my phone, but to be honest, I'm not quite sure how! What's the best/easiest way?

I just simply can't afford to brick my phone! Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lojak29:
Heres the deal.. If you update you will be fine it will break root youll be on stock ics .

Then reroot and install agat cwm recovery all this can be done by downloading the root and recovery script on your pc.

You can also use odin and download the pre rooted stock ics rom and odin flash it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lojak29:
Back up your apps with a appbackup in market or use titanium backup

To be honest id just download odin

And the prerooted stock ics and flash it

It should have cwm installed after u flash also
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kbjcooke:
So I shouldn't use the OTA update? Isn't that the easier way?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lojak29:
Use this link to odin flash the same ota ics update as a rom Via odin

Its rooted and just what u want

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] abhaz:
Hello all,

I kindly request some help regarding the following issue :

I have a rooted Galaxy Wonder GT-I8150, following the instructions on this site.

Firmware I8150XXLB4_I8150OJVLB1_I8150XXLB4

I used the phone normally for a long time. But when I woke up this morning, it was off and won't turn on no matter what method I tried.

No outside damages, no intervention, no newly installed software.

3-button-combo doesn't work. I cant put the phone into the recovery mode.

Odin doesn't recognize the phone.

Even when I connect the phone to the charger, nothing happens. The screen is black all the time.

When I connect to the computer with the usb cable, I get "device driver software was not successfully installed" qhsusb_dload

The problem is that I have important company documents stored on the phones memory, which unfortunately eliminates my

option of taking it to a Samsung Service point.

So, if I could please get any help to get the device working again, (or at least delete the company files on the phone) I would be really grateful.

So, friends, allow me to remind you NOT to put any confidential documents onto your phones' memory so that you won't have the troubles

I am experiencing now.

Looking forward to any suggestions you may have.

Regards.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] IvanKurnia:
have you tried installing SAMSUNG Kies on you PC? then uninstall it but do not uninstall the driver.. it may works
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] abhaz:
Ivan, I just tried your method, but sadly, the problem still persists. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] IvanKurnia:
oh ok.. if like that you need a lot of experiment.. try in another computer.. Windows 7 or Vista recommended.. better don't use XP.. try changing USB port too.. move USB port to another that attached to the motherboard PC.. then if all doesn't works, pay for SAMSUNG service centre and they will fix it hehehe
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dj Telo:
Hello all!

Since yesterday, when I updated the firmware of my phone, the GPS icon has been shown constantly in the notification bar. It did not use to happen before. I am afraid it might be draining more battery than needed but I don't want to turn off GPS completely as I wanted it to be "ready to use" whenever I need to use, for example, Google Maps.

Is there something I can do? How can I control which app's might be using GPS connection in every moment?

Thank you!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xrad:
+1

Every once in a while I see the GPS icon light up for a couple of seconds without apparent reason. I have no auto geo locating widget or so running, which might be an obvious guess.

Edit: just noticed I had weather information enabled on the lock screen so that may be the cause.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] dwellexity:
i don't want the notification dropdown while in lockscreen? is it possible with the stock lockscreen?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] iPusak Gaoq™:
No.....notification dropdown in lockscreen is a special features for ICS Rom....its an quickest way to go to notification with having to unlock it....

if you don't like that feature then flash Custom Rom.....
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Steph310:
If you realy don't like this you can use an other (custom) rom or lock screen but a lot of them keep this feature!

Maybe a good developper can solve your "problem" with changes in the lines of rom ...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] dwellexity:
anyone has any solution?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mdfzhi:
Use pattern or password lock, or change to miui.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] dwellexity:
I know, using pin or other security lock will disable it, but i don't want to use them

Actually, It somehow worked the way I wanted before but after a fresh install, it's back to old behaviour and I have no clue how it worked before
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
ICS has always had that feature. You would have to edit the framework, not sure whether framework-res.apk or one of the .jar files, to change it.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] dwellexity:
I am ready to do those edits if someone can tell me what and how to edit

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akalias1981:
Hi,

Hope someone can help because I'm pulling my hair out over this. I am seeing pretty terrible battery life on my nexus 7 ranging between 3 and 6 hours screen time over a day or two. The culprit is pretty obvious as reported as Google services in battery usage and I can clearly see obscene partial wakelocks from networklocationlocator. This is chewing through battery while the tablet is not in use. I have attached a screenshot of both the standard battery graph and better battery stats. Latitude is not on, I am not reporting location but location services are enabled for Google now etc. Please help. I don't want to have to cripple Google now to solve this issue.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akalias1981:

I also have very low screen times ranging between 3-6 hours, way below Awake time. which means its doing stuff in the background..

My regular google battery page looks like yours. Wish I could help.. I will investigate some more.. do some tests.

Ive been thinking of doing a factory reset..see if that helps anything.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] peachpuff:
/sdcard/android/data usually has all the large app data on it that isn't stored in the internal memory.

It depends... If your storage is completely clean and you don't have any file, is normal that you only see about 13gb-14gb available.

In the past four days or so, I've gone from 2GB to 3GB of data usage and gone over my limit.

I have rarely left the house in the past four days, and I've been connected to wi-fi the entire time.

Data usage was left on, but doesn't the system prioritize wi-fi, anyways?

I've gone ahead and installed Onavo to find out what's going on once my data cycle restarts, but I'm wondering if anybody has any ideas as to what might've happened.

I've not noticed any data spikes although I haven't been closely monitoring or testing with various roms. If you think it's related to the rom somehow you'll have to test it on your own.

Over the next couple days, when you go to sleep or are on wifi, keep a log of your data usage. First day keep wifi and data on. Next day keep only wifi on. Record the hours of which wifi was on and see if there is any significant data usage during those hours. If you have a backup with your previous rom then perform the same steps. Compare results.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bLusiLv:
i own samsung galaxy pocket gt-s5300, its like galaxy Y little brother. And i'm trying to build from source.

i'm new in this stuff, so i can't elaborate enough to find solution myself.

i've downloaded the samsung source for this device from samsung website, when extracted it has 2 sources, platform and kernel.

im trying to build the platform and hopefully can build the stock rom successfully so i can proceed to modification.

already followed the instructions to get the gingerbread 2.3.6 from aosp, merge the folders from samsung to aosp, and execute build script (generic-user). seems fine, i got system.img,userdata.img,etc but no boot.img, still tried to flash anyway and figured that this device doesn't support fastboot but adb works. then i tried to make otapackage but got no rule error. perhaps caused by this generic-user lunch, but i dont know how to add this device to build, because there's only generic,emulator,crespo-4g, and crespo choices.

trying to find alternatives, and thinking about modify the stock rom with my build, so i also tried to open the odin flashable stock rom with winrar (xxx.tar.md5) which i cant, i dont know why since the other galaxy rom has no problem.

so many thing i'm not sure of doing it right, so i need help building for this samsung device from source.
