Just so people have a point of reference, here's Anandtech's article on DBM reporting on the GNex (only ICS phone at time of the article) and ICS:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmorton10:
The radios DO NOT perform exactly the same & I'm not talking about number of bars shown or any other BS stat. I am not sure why people have so much trouble admitting that, it's like you insulted their mother or something. This kind of BS reminds me of the Apple fanboys at times, I have an Ipad 2 & on their message boards you run into this all the time.

I have both phones sitting here on my desk at work right next to each other (& two other Rezounds at home). This is a 4G area, but where I work the 4G signal is not real strong.

The entire time I was using the Rezound (I bought it the first day it was released), it had a 4G signal where I work probably 95% of the time. It occasionally dropped back to 3G but even then it was/is very fast. If I saw it was in 3G & needed to DL something, rebooting it would bring back the 4G connection every time without fail.

The Galaxy3 sitting here is in 3G & has been 99% of the time. When I am home & closer to a tower, it gets 4G with no problem but as soon as I get anywhere near my work I lose the 4G. If I reboot the G3 at work, it will show 4G very briefly at first startup but if you look at it 2 minutes later it has switched to 3G (or even 1x at times) & stays there all day. If you lock it in/force it to use 4G using phone info, it will have no data connection at all most of the time where I work.

This is not a deal killer for me, as 3G works just fine for what I do all day at work & other the weaker radio (which I knew it would have since I have owned Samsung phones before) it is light years ahead of the Rezound. I don't use either Sense or TouchWiz, I am using Nova Launcher (switched from Apex) & the Galaxy absolutely flies with this setup (no lag or hesitation whatever, response is instant). The same setup in the Rezound was noticeably laggy at times.

I loved the Rezounds & only bought the G3 to burn up my last subsidized upgrade. If not for that, I never would have bought it but I am so glad I did, I absolutely LOVE this phone.....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] txkorm:
Exactly! This is the exact same scenario I have. All the way down to being forced into the phone. Spot on about the radios.

Currently not being productive on my S3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TechSavvy2:
I guess I'm an apple fanboy, as you put it, then. I've actually had exactly the opposite experience. My work got 2 bars of 3g on my rez. My gs3 gets 4 of lte. Hard to deny that for me, maybe I am a fanboy. After all, I did buy the phone....(and didn't ***** about my decision)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TheDiabolicaL1:
There are always exceptions to the rules.

Maybe your rezound was bunk? Maybe your s3 is one of the few that functions as it should.

There's too many variables. One thing is for sure though, there's alot more of us complaining about the ****ty radio in the s3 than are singing its praises. Especially when compared to a moto or htc.

Why do you wanna run that dumb piece of software on linux?

Anyway you can use WINE to run it. Install WINE from Software center.

[HTC One X] vallandil:
Great TUT

One thing., I would strongly advise to have a full boot before flashing mods....
[HTC One X] razer1224:
that depends..u can basically flash them because its just a push of files to /system
[HTC One X] ClydeB1:
You may want to check the spelling of some of your commands. It should be 'fastboot erase cache' and not 'fastboot erase cahe' as you have written. ;) Not a biggy, but may prevent some posts saying it didn't work.
[HTC One X] razer1224:
Thanks!ClydeB1
[HTC One X] craigavonite:
Maybe add slightly more detailed steps, since I'm assuming that this is aimed at people who are having a go at flashing for the first time?

Like after "go to recovery" add [Hold power and volume down button] or after "flash the rom" add [select 'install zip from sdcard' then 'choose zip from sd card', then select your ROM]

Not a criticism! Just a suggestion to prevent posts asking how to get into recovery etc.
[HTC One X] razer1224:
I will do that craigavonite :) sure

Rom:ARHD 7.2.2

KERNEL:FAUX 005B1
[HTC One X] razer1224:
I will brief them by tommorow :)

And add up flashing each mods

Rom:ARHD 7.2.2

KERNEL:FAUX 005B1
[HTC One X] razer1224:

[HTC One X] a704e:
I don't think wiping SD card is needed every time.

One X to rule them all.
[HTC One X] razer1224:
This is done in order to install a new base I must add up that line
[HTC One X] synyster31:
Hi i'm looking to flash my 1st rom (Renovate) on my new X and looking at this as a novice to flashing could you expand on these steps please?

More 1 & 2 really. Where do I transfer the files to & What do you mean go to fastboot? With the 3rd i assume you mean in the command console in 3? I'm not being picky i'm just trying to show up any steps that a total novice could get stuck on, like me ;)

Thanks

[HTC One X] bimmerboii:
Nice tutorial. How about a guide for getting back to stock?

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mushtafa:
Hi, please don't shout at me, I've tried a search but Tapatalk is utter useless!

I'm looking for a new rom, this time one without sense. Which kind is the fastest/most stable?

I'm not asking for a rom itself, but more of the type of rom, cm/aokp/aosp etc (are those abbreviations right?)

Thanks
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joooe:
I hate sense.

Been using BlackIce for months and find it quite good.

ICS roms not good for me, for now.

Try BlackIce. It's one of the best.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1298283

Or Cyanogenmod 7.2

http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=stable&device=ace

Both are AOSP (Android Open Source Project) roms. No sense, no flashy visual effects, just speed. Perfect.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] otlinex:
I agree with joooe. BlackIce is the best and most stable. I would never use sense.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teichopsia:
Absolution in the inspire thread is wicked good too.

Sent from a dream.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mushtafa:
To be honest I like sense because it's 'pretty', but started to notice bits and pieces lag.

The two rooms mentioned above, are they on ics? Camera issues?

Sorry for the questions, I'll be back on pc later
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] otlinex:
BlackIce and Absolution are not ICS, which means camera works fine and they are both very stable.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joooe:
With BlackICe I have 400 mb free mem at booting. Sense takes like 300 mb! No wonder it lags.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andydavids:
you can try IceColdSandwich - 8.4 - AOKP which is quite stable for daily use for ICS rom...

if you want to try on JB, you can try this Jellytime which is still in beta and testing...

Repost this in the right section:

How can I create a PB99IMG version of a custom hboot?

I saw that "android-info.txt" file in alpharev's hboot zip is the same in all version, so can I zip this 2 files (hboot img and txt)?

Or do I have to use a specific utility?

I can create custom hboot with oxygen's forum hboot tool but a PB99IMG version should be more useful.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:
Yes u are correct, i also have made a couple of hboots by using a tool by Thalamus. What i did was create a new folder and put "android-info.txt" file and ur custom hboot in the folder, rename ur custom hboot so it says "hboot.img" then simply zip that folder and rename "PB99IMG.zip" put on ur sdcard :)

I'm in the market to buy accessories for my i747.. I'm looking on ebay and see a dock / charger / battery combo at a decent price but it says it's for european and asian phones (i9300). would this fit my phone? to me everything should be the same..

Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] unleashed12:
accessory wise the two variants are exactly the same dimensions and stuff, so anything made for the i9300 will fit the i747, including batteries. the phones are exactly the same on the outside, just the insides are diff. :good:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] blue265:
Yep. Chargers, batteries, docks and cases all fit the i747 that are made for i9300. They are the same form factor
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] boostnek9:
Thanks guys!!!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kiwi32:
Hello,

I unserstand both phones have the same external dimensions,but would it be the same for the battery cover ?

If I swap the pebble blue battery cover from a i9300 to a i747 would it fit ?

Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tehsprayer:
I would imagine yes as above he did say dimensions of phone is the same the only difference is the cpu and ram I believe.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] corythug:
Yes, I've been debating getting an international battery cover so it doesn't say at&t on this beautiful bad boy.

I have an att s3 and ordered an intl cover a few days ago.I should get it in next week,will keep this thread updated !

In any case I am a reseller and am about to make a huge order of genuine s3 covers for north american sale,so I just wanted to make sure that would work.

Thanks for the help !
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Heisenberg420:
The international version has a microphone on the back cover by the camera. So cases and skins for the international version will fit but you'll have a useless hole by the camera. Not really a big deal if you ask me.

what hole are you talking about, do you have pics?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Heisenberg420:
I could be wrong but the skin I'm using on my at&t gs3 was made for the international version and it has a microphone hole on the back cover. I don't actually own the international version but I'll post a pic of my skin later

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kiwi32:
The att version also has a microphone hole next to the camera,unless you meant something else ?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] electech13:
Yep a tiny mic pinhole is the only physical difference between some of the two base versions or models.

CPU (quad vs. dual core), ram (1Gb vs. 2Gb) and radios (3g/4g vs. LTE) are the internal hardware differences between the international and north American models
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Nickel Dime Bay:
I have an international version, there is no mic by the cam. I've had both variants they LOOK exactly the SAME. ALL the cases will fit.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Heisenberg420:
ok heres my skin. there is a hole on the back cover (above the led flash), but there is no hole on my battery cover for a mic or something. there is a mic on the top border of my phone next to the headphone jack, which has its own hole

again it was made for the international version
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] electech13:
Yep that was the only difference I saw on some back covers not even sure why that little extra hole by the flash even there. But all cases and covers work for both.

[XPERIA X8 General] HemdonG:
Hello Everyone,

I am seriously tired with the really little battery backing up time if I do heavy usage...So here is a really cool and serious method on how to improve the battery backing time.

Remember...Try the method with your Risk..You will the sole responsible if anything happens to your battery(although nothing will happen if you follow the instructions properly).

So here it goes:

1. Drain your battery to 0%.

2. Remove the battery.

3. In a polythene or a ziplock pouch place the battery in it and safely secure the pouch or polythene.

4. Now keep the battery in a DEEP FREEZER...(Brand Recommended: LG :P)

5. Let the battery remain in the DEEP FREEZER for 12-18 hours.

6. After the time has passed, remove the battery from the deep freezer, unpack it from the pouch or polythene, and let it come to a warm temperature.

In the mean time, while the battery is outside, there will be water droplets around the battery...dont worry its perfectly safe, but make sure that you clean them.

Now place it in your phone and charge it...You will see the difference...

How it works:

If you are a chemistry student or if you have learnt chemistry, the battery contains lithium fluid, which after a period of time starts to become more liquidish..so the bonds weaken, and therefore less battery backing time...If you keep it in the deep freezer, the bonds become more powerful and hence they 'Handshake' more perfectly. So therefore a better battery backing time.

I did this trick, and it really works...so go ahead and try it!!!
[XPERIA X8 General] Jeik:
Anybody tested?wanna try,but I always get backfire by doing silly stuff.and as I rember.I saw a warning that the battery shouldn't be cooled below the temperature of 4°C :p
[XPERIA X8 General] HemdonG:
LoL.....batteries musnt exceed the temperature above 40 degrees....cooling wont harm it in anyway!!!! and i tried...it seriously powerups ur battery!!!
[XPERIA X8 General] Spevky:
I get 4 - 5 Days out of my battery! So i don't have to do this YET. :P Really thanks for this. I will try it when my battery starts to be weak.
[XPERIA X8 General] maran88:
Do you have any screen shots of your battery consumption to back up you claim by any chance...
[XPERIA X8 General] Chris95X8:
Wow, pretty cool. Worth trying. :good:
[XPERIA X8 General] Jeik:
Heh,gonna try.I have nothing to loose,probably :silly:

If I break the battery,buying myself a xperia mini,not a x10 mini.can you explain what is polythen and a ziplock pouch?
[XPERIA X8 General] HemdonG:
Polythene is a shopping bag....

Ziplock pouch is a sealable bag which can open and close.

nice post sir...

maybe someday i will put my battery in refrigator..

hahaha...
[XPERIA X8 General] Jeik:
Didn't help at all :D

For a 12-18 hours there,I thought you weren't kidding. :P
[XPERIA X8 General] cascabel:
On a side note, i have seen it guys put flash drives in the freezer for few minutes. I can't think of a reason why.
[XPERIA X8 General] Fortun:
Freezing will actually damage the battery in the long run. The same holds true for totally draining it.

Now, this method might work in the short term but not in the way you're thinking. Freezing the battery will actually slow down the chemical processes, which results in what could be described as undervoltage at the hardware level.
[XPERIA X8 General] HemdonG:
Here is a thing.....download a battery indiacator widget...note the current voltage produced while its FULLY charged.....then after freezing and charging it to 100%, notice the widget again....it seriously does helps it and the battery....it doesnt harms the battery for a really long use....i did this, and noticed that i got a maximum voltage of 4193!!!....do test it!!!
[XPERIA X8 General] HemdonG:
I am rite now thinking that u are joking..:eek:
[XPERIA X8 General] Jeik:
Battery life didn't change.I let it freeze for 16 hours.nothing changed :/
[XPERIA X8 General] deedii:
I can affirm this info is true. Long old tricks actually, but it does improved battery performance and life.

[XPERIA X8 General] cascabel:
I admit i've had doubts about this but...

should we start a poll for those who have tried and whailt results they got? Because if this really works it's very helpful, not to mention informative. (I do hate chemistry)
[XPERIA X8 General] TheDholiz™:
i will try it when my battery starts to be weak..thanks for the tips ;)
[XPERIA X8 General] Jeik:

Great advice but I'm not a risk taker. *(Unlocks bootloader with 11W64)*
[XPERIA X8 General] ScatteredHell:

I don't think this risky. Unlocking bootloader is the risky thing. If ur battery getting weaker, I think this can't be helped. Try a battery that u use. Good work
[HTC One X] GUARDIANBD:
HI!

My One X is a problematic batch SH24KW and I want to send it back to the HTC i'v bought it from 2nd hand

And it was with the Rom Revolution HD on it I still have the receipt to use the warranty

but I see that HTC wont accept devices with custom rom on them and I don't have the nandroid backup to revert it..

That's why I want to revert back to stock to get the new batch of One X (batch27). Mine having flex problem

If I press the screen I see small white spots..

I saw a lot of users with the same problem and I want to use the warranty.

can anyone upload an 1.29.720.11 RUU or nandroid backup of a stock Asia_India ?

it wont help only me but others as well..

Got on it Android Revolution HD 7.2..

c:\fastboot>fastboot getvar version-main
version-main: 1.29.720.11
finished. total time: -0.000s

Hope that u can help us :) and my the Droid be with you!
[HTC One X] redfrog1243:
Sorry mate, HtC isn't intressed about if you are running a custom rom, they are only intressed about if your bootloader has been unlocked. If you revert using RUU and lock the bootloader, it will still state that it is relocked, and not locked.

Sent from my HOX running CMX by Tbalden.
[HTC One X] ste1164:
If he gets back to stock he could take it to the place the phone was bought from and try there. PM football he might be able to get you the RUU.
[HTC One X] faiz02:
even i need the same RUU. is it possible to install 1.28 version and then install 1.29 ota update ??
[HTC One X] GUARDIANBD:
but the phone is damage free the only malfunction is the screen and camera lens this batch is defective

me and allot of pals put custom ROM on our phones - right!

unlocked the bootloader - right!

but no hardware defects caused by us if the problem is related to hardware fault which HTC is responsible for them in first place

they must repair our well paid ONE X.

if the phone haven't dropped dead in case of flashing custom rom and there is an manufacture malfunction

that well shown on many posts around the globe HTC must fix or exchange the defected phones.

here is my emailing with the costumer service
