[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] androholic:
This isn't Samsungs doing, it's how Google has made android from ics on. Other manufacturers that make their phones able to install apps on your external sd are using a workaround by modifying the code, but I've read that it's really not ideal? If your using titanium backup to keep your apps backed up then you need to run a backup. Then go into your internal sd & move the TB folder to your external sd. Go back into titanium backup & select preferences from the settings menu. There select backup folder location & hit the Detect button. Now your backups should go to external storage.

You can also go under settings in the stock Web browser & change your download location to external so that large roms download to external sd. If your using the new version of twrp for the Tmo gs3 that they released today, then you can check the box under backup that says backup to external. That will also save room on your internal storage.

Personally I prefer all of my apps on internal. They open faster & write data much faster to internal then to an sd card. I really only use my sd card for holding movies, backups, & large file downloads. As I stated in my previous post, AOKP & Cyanogenmod still can install apps to sd if that's what you prefer. I honestly think we should be able to choose for ourselves, but unfortunately I don't make the rules. If you look in the international section I read a thread somewhere that had an app that will let you store the large data files from games on your external storage. That's the only apps that really take up a significant amount of space. Music can take up a lot of space, but with Google play music keeping 20gb of music in the cloud for you, that shouldn't be much of an issue to those of us who are in good coverage areas. I hope this helped some of you to maximize your storage space. :)

Just a friendly advice...T-Mobile is the last place you want to go for any answers. The people who work there (most, not all) are complete stupid over the top freakin' idiots. They know nothing and often times just search their data base or google something for answers. Most 99.9% do not have any first hand knowledge of anything about phones. They just know the same $#!t you can read off the box....

Complete idiots..

Anyhow, just hang tight as I'm sure there will be work around this in the very near future. It's not a big deal at all.... just do what fellow member: stevessvt said...it works....

Good luck!

Let me first off apologize for getting a lil off topic with this question, however, I Just got the SGS3 (which by the way is the GREATEST PHONE EVER MADE!!! If God or Allah or Buda or whatever higher up, power that be owned a phone... It would be this one. LOL) OK, back on track now. So I'm coming from an HTC phone and I have a TON of bookmarks stored on my browser that I want to transfer over to my new phone. My question is, where can I find my browsers bookmarks using file explorer so that I can zip it up in a file to send to my phones browser? Or is there a better, easier way to do this??

Please help￼

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jestre:
Finally an upgrade path for Epic 4G users and/or Tactile fans. Everything else was a downgrade.

The Motorola Photon Q 4GLTE (MoPhoQ) appears to beat the Epic 4G, in all accounts, hands down, at least on paper.

The MoPhoQ has every option that the epic has except possibly touchwiz.

The only items I am unsure of are the Processor and Battery Life.

The Photon Q meets or exceeds all the specs & features of the Epic 4G.

Radio:	Full world phone with 4GLTE & CDMA 800, CDMA 850, CDMA 1900, GSM 850, GSM 900, GSM 1800, GSM 1900, LTE 1900, WCDMA 850, WCDMA 1900, WCDMA 2100	vs.	E4G- obsolete

WiMAX 2500 with CDMA 850 & CDMA 1900

Battery Size:	1785 mAh	vs.	1500 mAh

Display Type & Resolution:	LCD 540 x 960 pixels	vs.	OLED (Full-Color) 480 x 800 pixels

Display Size:	4.3"	vs.	E4G- 4.0"

OS:	Android ICS 4.04	vs.	Android 2.36 unless rooted

OS updates:	Highly likely for the Photon to recieve JB as it is newer and a half-brother to Android by marriage. ;)

Memory, Internal Storage:	8 GB raw hardware, 4.6 MB available to user +1GB RAM	vs.	E4g- 1.5GB raw hardware 461 MB available to user

Camera:	8+ megapixel	vs.	E4G- 5+ megapixel

Video Capture:	1080p HD 30FPS back & 720P front	vs.	E4G- 720p HD 30FPS back

Also the MoPhoQ has TV output via HDMI port, 4G LTE, Hearing aid compatiblity, NFC, it's not samsung & it has 4G LTE.

The only down side is it weighs 15Grams more and is several thousanths on an inch larger, literally 0.070" larger.

Now my questions are about the processor and battery life.

Processor	1.5 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon	vs.	E4G- 1 GHz Cortex A8 Hummingbird

How much faster, better, more efficient etc. is the processor?

Does anyone have any ideas on the expected battery life of the photon?

The published battery life information appears to indicate a +25% increase in battery life

Jestre

-- Rockin' TPR2.22 on my Epic 4g
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xboxfanj:
much faster and more battery efficient. It is based on ARM Cortex A15 architecture, whereas ours is ARM Cortex A8. Also, it is dual core, whereas ours is single core. Both of these qualities make it better in both ways. It also has a radio integrated into the processor, which means it saves power since it doesnt need to power multiple things for Radio. The dual core S4 processor of the Photon Q is faster and more battery efficient than the quad core processors on the market due to its newer architecture (S4=A15, current QuadCores are A9). If 2 A15 cores are faster than 4 A9 cores, then it would have to obliterate 1 A8 core.

Not sure about battery life specifically. It should be about on par with the AT&T One X

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] big_doubleT:
Hi guys,

I charged my phone to 100%. After I was heavily using it, browsing, going on twitter, etc. And I notice the battery only dropped to 99% while I was using it. It should of at least dropped to 95%.. But when I locked the phone, I waited a minute and unlocked it again then I see the percentage is 92%... Is this normal? I never experienced this before..

I am on stock LFB. I did not root or install any custom roms yet.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] clem11388:
I'm sorry if this is too off topic. But I don't know what thread to place the question on.

I was told by a Verizon rep (taking his words with large grains of salt) that they have had more Nexus's returned than any other recent device. Its plagued with issues. And a few of them are 4G connectivity issues. Where it will be always connecting and disconnecting from 4G many times a day, even in a fully covered area. The GPS does power cycling all the time using much more battery than necessary. And horrible battery, buggy interface are just a few he mentioned to me.

Are these issues just a Verizon rep trying to push me away from a open and rootable device? Or are they real? And if so, are they only with the Stock Nexus ROM, and most if not all are fixed after flashing one of the many Custom ROMs available? What are some of the most common issues with the Verizon LTE version of the Galaxy Nexus? Both before and flashing a Custom ROM.

Thank you guys for any help, and God Bless
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] llenroht:
This is my 3rd Galaxy Nexus. The first had a software issue. The second one, which was a new device, stopped charging while the phone was on. Replaced the battery and the phone still wouldnt hold a charge. This one is a refurbished replacement phone and since I've rooted it and installed Jelly Bean, I can only use the phone on speaker, wired headset, and bluetooth. I took the second phone to the Verizon dealer and the sales rep said his Nexus was starting to exhibit the same thing my phone started to do.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] clem11388:
Have you ever tried a ICS ROM? One that has had much work done with it and has been labeled fully stable and released? Jelly Bean ROMs seem to all be in fairly early stages. So its really hard to know if the issues were with the ROM or with the phone.

Can any one confirm @llenroht 's list of issues? And are these fairly common, even when using a ISC Custom ROM?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Simple, small, experimental free app to boost your speaker or headphone sound volume. Useful for movies, audio books and music.

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. Playing audio at high volumes, especially for a prolonged amount of time, can destroy speakers and/or damage hearing. Some users HAVE reported destroyed speakers and earphones. IF YOU HEAR DISTORTED AUDIO, LOWER THE VOLUME (but it may be too late).

By installing this application you agree that you will not hold its developer responsible for any damage to hardware or hearing, and you are using it AT YOUR OWN RISK. Consider this to be EXPERIMENTAL software.

Not all devices support this software. Try it and see if yours works.

NEWS: I just noticed that Speaker Boost just doesn't work with the stock Android Music player (which I never use) on some or all Samsung devices. You can get some of the same functionality with the stock music player by using the music player's custom equalizer function.

NOTE 1: This is NOT for adjusting the speakerphone volume in phone calls (that has its own boost, I think), but for adjusting the volume of music, movies and apps.

NOTE 2: Users who complain that this does not boost bass are right. In order to mitigate (but not remove!) the danger of damage to small speakers, there is no boost in the lowest frequency range, and there is also less boost in the highest frequency range. If you go to the Settings and uncheck "Non-uniform boost", you get an across-the-board boost, but that's much more dangerous to your speakers.

NOTE 3: When you set the boost to zero, Speaker Boost will be off. The notification icon is just for ease of launching. If you don't like seeing the notification icon when Speaker Boost is off, just go to Speaker Boost's Settings and set it to appear only when Speaker Boost is running.

Ok to begin this topic, I am in no way an expert and this is based on my preferences and experiences with the Roms listed, present and future.

I will be updating this as I test these Roms for one week or until I have exhausted featur, My signature will reflect the Rom I am currently testing.

These will be in order of use not alphabetical and will contain GB Firmware patch links when required.

Lets get started.

Ratings

1 Star = :) 1/2 Star = :confused:

Top Rating = 10

All of these Developers have done excellent work providing our community with quality work, this is not meant to Flame against them, just my experiences shared for those who wish to find the Rom that is right for them and I am still looking for my favorite, PM me suggestions.

My attempt to review these Roms after a week of switching back and forth, ratings and information subject to change.

[HTC Rezound] renzo.olivares:
i like this :) hopefully this doesnt become into a flame thread
[HTC Rezound] fallen00sniper:
I hope so too, I will be adding to it as I switch between the Roms again and again until I haven't missed anything substantial.

I just flashed back to Nils' last night from your Rom, so some stuff may be jumbled.
[HTC Rezound] Reaper0294:
I think something you may have missed from NilsP ICS Sense is the battery life. His battery life is very good (he customized it for that and stability) Using android i don't know of many people who use VZWbackup for their contacts and can't really imagine using that instead of google's own solution.

ViperRez, also is incredibly innovative and has good battery life, customizability. It is currently my daily driver until AOSP.

I would definitely put NilsP's at a 4 star at least. ViperRez i think is right up there. My favorite Sense 3.6 and Sense 4 roms.
[HTC Rezound] fallen00sniper:
I am still swapping out Roms and haven't fully tested everything, but at the moment 3 1/2 is as high as I can go at the moment, this is just the beginning of a review between what I have found to be the big hitters and have yet to test cleanROM.

Don't worry I will update with battery life and the like eventually, I am going to take a week on each Rom and edit this post, currently I am back on the ViperRez, next week I will return to Nils', but the main thing reason the VZW Backup is so important, new users are given the tool by default and I must admit, the Google version only confuses me and I have never took the time to use it and learn how to back up my contacts and phone numbers, something 3 out of the 4 Roms I have tried have optional during first boot is VZW Backup and Google.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Just to add. Quick settings is in the pulldown. Just tap the logo bar and it toggles. Just don't want anyone to think 4.0 ROM does not have QS and Tweaks.

Also, great idea for a thread
[HTC Rezound] scy1192:
I havent used Ineffibilis Deus or Nils Business Sense so I have no opinions on those, but IMO ViperRez beats out OneXxX. OneXxX just seemed a little buggy and slow. Still, if ViperRez weren't around, it'd be my second pick.
[HTC Rezound] zone23:
WooHoo! made the list for once.. YAY!
[HTC Rezound] fallen00sniper:
Thanks for the input Nils, i'll have to remember that when I go back to your Rom next week and include it in the review.

ViperRez is definitely winning me over with the Beats options, I just hooked my cable back up in my car, with no amp my seats were vibrating from the bass.

Theming it, adding ad block hosts, and updating gapps is not a new ROM. Newt did 99.9% of the ROM if you discount the blue color. I am not saying the blue doesn't look great or not take a long time to do, but it isn't a new ROM or development. It is theming.
