It's not really broken..you need to compile and decompile with 2 different versions...I'm at wakins glen right now for NASCAR this weekend, no computer to look what I use...
[HTC Rezound] LOBBS:
Alright, trying to get a grasp of what is where and how these things are assembled. Say for instance, I've got Nils Business Sense ROM installed and I love the RedZound theme for it. After installing the theme, I decide I prefer just the stock white icon status bar that originally came with Nils ROM. Of course, I have a nandroid backup from just prior to install. I can see the apks for the icons so I'm guessing the status bar is handled in one of the larger ones. To make this change, one would have to open that and either change the file names or delete the images and change the corresponding build file to reflect those changes?
[HTC Rezound] Therev29:
open nils rom zip with 7zip. go to system/apps/ and pull SystemUI.apk into a folder. Go into the themes zip and grab the SystemUI.apk and put it into a separate folder. I take the /res folder out of each SystemUI.apk and put it into the respective folder. Go into res/drawable-xhdpi and select the icons you want from the stock rom's SystemUI and put them into the themed SystemUI res/drawable-xhdpi folder. Open the themes SystemUI.apk in 7zip, delete the res folder and drag the themed res folder into the apk. Put the new SystemUI.apk back into the themes zip system/apps/ folder and then you are good to flash.

btw.... good taste in themes;)
[Galaxy S II General] jsmasterx:
I bought the galaxy S3 on the release date.

First i was quite happy with the new exciting features but soon been dispaointed with a lot of manufacturing processes issues.

Overheating, black spots on screen, feeling in hand so-so because of the rounded corners and we can easily drop it on the floor, call quality problems and some lack of real developpement on our North America Device because of the International version who takes the lead ...

I kept my Galaxy S2 ( international one that almost everyone have fortunately. Not LTE but it is ok ) that i have for 8 months and when i returned to it I felt very comfortable and sell the GS3 at the same time.

I do not want to start a troll or something it is just a personnal opinion that I want to share with the community and I would like to know if other people feels scammed with the SGS3 or if I make a big mistake.

At first the phone is cool. But after a few weeks the magic really disapears ..
[Galaxy S II General] nopain9nogain:
I have the same opinion too... I have a black i777 ATT and a white international... I prefer them to the S3. They have reasonable screen size and way better design. The S3 is too big for my taste and I cant stand the design that made for woman ( with a big hands of course). Even though the S3 comes with new features but the ATT S3 still uses dual core so its not really a big improvement.
[Galaxy S II General] spykedm:
So I'm not the only one that thinks the S3 looks girly! It does have some nice features but just looks like it would prefer to live in a handbag.
[Galaxy S II General] jsmasterx:
You are right about that fact
[Galaxy S II General] Galactus:
lol
[Galaxy S II General] azeller09:
JB

I don't need a S3 as long as I get Android 4.1 JellyBean on my S2 :D
[Galaxy S II General] UnwiredDroid:
I totally agree. currently I am running a cm10 based rom and I am very satisfied.
[Galaxy S II General] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
The S3 is blazing fast though. Maybe my comparisons of CM9 versus stock SGS3 are unfair but my gf's SGS3 feels so fast. Just laucnhing the app launcher hers beats mine. You'd think a simple task like that shouldn't matter much. It's like playing Doom 2 on a Core i7 versus a Intel Pentium 4. The load times are like 1 seconds versus 0.9 seconds or something. But maybe it's because of TouchWiz.

I realize that the Sgs3 is uglier and stuff, but honestly get it. Things like BLN matter for me and unless they get BLNWW I don't think I'll be 100% satisfied with my phone. Plus the screen is gorgeous on the SGS3.

As for development, the Exynos SOC is well developed for. you can credit hte SGs2 for being the guinea pig because remember CM7? we had issues even AFTER CM7.1 release with market crashing left and right and outstanding issues. It was never fully working til post CM7.1. Heck I think we had issues into December/January.

But as a result of our struggles on the SGS2 and other devices like the Note, I think SGS3 benefitted greatly. Look at where we were in CM7 at this point last year. Meanwhile the SGS3 has ICS running beautifully. The progress in CM10 is about the same as that on the SGS2.

Yeah it's not the most beautiful device, and there's still probably more SGS2 than SGS3 users, but look at 6 months down the road, The SGS3 will shine more. Our SGS2s only have room to fall more and more behind as newer devices come out. I'm itching to buy but at the same time I'm telling myself just to wait for the next Nexus....
[Galaxy S II General] NetRally:
At first I think I will change my S2 to S3. But I think when I don't feel S2 fast or few during use than why sould I change? Maybe next year, and maybe Note 2 :)
[Galaxy S II General] maysider:
I feel no need for S3 too....why? Even I have JB on my S2
[Galaxy S II General] theunderling:
You can check the benchmark reviews for an idea of the differences.And you could have visited a phone shop and see how it fitted in your hand etc before you bought one.

[Galaxy S II General] Prashanthme:
Ya seriously instead of wasting money on just to try it u could hav done that,,, I prefer S2 still because of two reasons, one is financial my salary is only half of the price of S3 :( second one is S3 s far too big too handle(Not tooooo much :P :P) like I m rider I keep checking mails for professional purpose even some times stopping on side of roads if phone slips gone :(.. I started saving for s2 from one year :) I m happy with this Beast.. Also Sammy confirmed JB for s2.. Atleast can draw upto 1 1.5 years more :) :) :)
[Galaxy S II General] spykedm:
Don't get me wrong, I agree that in terms of specification, the S3 is superb device, in terms of speed, screen resolution etc. It offers a greater degree of future proofing than the S2 but would I spend money to upgrade at this stage? No, it's just not enough of a step up to make me consider it. And I have had a good play around with a couple of them.

I will wait for the S4 or possibly a future Nexus before moving by which time my S2 will be very well used. :o And I still think the S3 is just too feminine in design for my personal taste. Kind of like how the original VW Beetle morphed from a car that transcended class and gender barriers into the recreated one that doesn't.

That said, if I owned an S3, I would just stick it in a decent case and be as happy as Larry.
[Galaxy S II General] republicano:
heres my rant, I've been thinking about this since it came out, I can't justify the upgrade, mostly for the 720p screen and dpi so I got a tablet for browsing

I don't mind the quad core as dual is more than enough power, one thing I was not sure about is the quality control on amoled screen and design, I wouldn't want to root it and risk warranty.

been looking at my local listing site and I see many s3 with broken screens from being dropped and knowing how many times I dropped my s2 I know the s3 design wont be any better

and last, the size and shape, other than it being feminine, it will be too big to use it with one hand, its not designed for most humans I find the s2 hard as it is reaching the other side with my thumb
[Galaxy S II General] mzone1510:
Hmmm I have a question, is it worth fixing my cracked screen on the s2 and continue using it or should I trade it in for a S3? Hmmm... I might rather go for the Note 2...
[Galaxy S II General] optimusPRIME:
Sgs3 or note2 are only for them, those hands are larger to fits in hands comfortably....plus you have to maintain them properly and you have big pockets to fit in.
[Galaxy S II General] jantonio23:
I'll probably skip S3 and wait for S4.. it might be next year but at least it will be equipped with Exynos 5 Dual Chip.

[Galaxy S II General] theunderling:
You could sell it as is on eBay.You could get around £160 for it.A screen can cost around £100 but it could be tricky to replace.

[Galaxy S II General] ruzumaki:
I like my s2 very much :fingers-crossed: especially with aluminium bumper + 2000mah battery :good: and also siyah kernel + miui v4
[Galaxy S II General] ram1986:
I have a GS2 running CM9 stable.

While GS3 is blazing fast, for everyday activities GS2 is more than sufficient.

Also, GS2 being 800 x 480 resolution has a comparable or even better frame rates than GS3 running at 720P when running games.

So, I will stick with GS2 for another year and may be look at GS4 or if something more awesome comes in.
[Motorola Atrix 2] matt99017d:
When i am setup to do tethering from my phone i go to speedtest.com

it goes through the process and determines what server is closest to me. i live in medford OREGON. it shows me as being in KS.

how is that possible??
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
Try and change the server in the tools tab at the bottom (second from far left):

Edit: are you using the test via browser or the app from Google Play?
[Motorola Atrix 2] matt99017d:
The server will change just fine if i do it., however i don't understand why it wants to pick the wrong location by it's self.

If i run speedtest from my phone it picks the correct location based on where i am.

If i tether and run it from my laptop it show me as being in KS.

Could that be happening because it's a hacked mod?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
Could be, I've never used that mod, so I'm not entirely certain if it's what's causing the location errors.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Brenardo:
I am curious as to where to go to follow the process that is being made in resolving the problems after installing a ROM via Kexec
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mikejr83:
Kexec is not what causes the data issues. I'm on stock rooted with a kexec kernel. Everything works fine. The issues you hear about are in regards to running CM9/10 which are bearly supported on the S3. If you are afraid of dealing with issues like data and mms then stick to beans, synergy, or nosympathy and you can still flash a custom kexec kernel.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sprintuser1977:
Someone with more tech knowledge than myself help me out here, and didn't see this posted before.

I know Google is pretty much selling close to cost, so what would be a decent value price point based on other tablets in your opinion?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IceColdKila:
I saw a detailed cost breakdown, from some website

Google is profiting like $50 bucks on the 8GB model and maybe $80 bucks profit on the 16GB model.

Its not like Sony who is lossing about $150 per every PS Vita sold.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brianjr1:
In terms of what they're trying to do with this tablet, I'd say 200/250 is about right. If they made it more expensive, the less tech-knowledgeable people would settle for the kindle fire. They'll make the money back over time.

However, if the thing had a Micro SD card, I could see 25-50 bucks of a bump.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sprintuser1977:
I guess I'm trying to say what could they charge and it still be considered competitive with others
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aki480:
The only thing that comes close to this is the Fire, I'm sure Google could charge a nice premium for the better hardware. How much? Dunno...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AZImmortal:
$200/$250 is probably about as much as they can charge and have it be a big success. They needed to match the price of the Kindle Fire but still make it powerful enough for gaming.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exwannabe:
It would cost under $1 to add it.

I will go ahead and buy the 16Gb version, but I agree with you that this is the one big miss on the device (likely intentional, G wants you in the cloud)

.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ravynmagi:
The Nexus 7 is superior to any $200 tablet available such as the Acer A110, Lenovo, Kindle Fire. So it's value is over $200.

It's a better tablet than the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0, so it's value would be over $250.

Then there are the 7.7 AMOLED tablets from Samsung and Toshiba for about $450 to $500. Because of the slightly larger display AMOLED display, I'd say the Nexus 7 should fall below these in price.

I think it is probably not crazy to say if this wasn't sold by Google at cost, but by someone else for profit, it could easily be priced around $300 for 8GB and $350 for 16GB I think.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hulk0069:
Just as it says,I pay for the hotspot, will I lose this service if I root?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] joka10:
nope u won't all rooting does is give u as the user the permission to do whatever you want, it doesn't change anything else
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] THE SKATER DUDE:
no you will not lose it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] btonetbone:
The only thing you may loose is the need to pay for tethering! The FCC ruled that you are allowed to tether on Verizon for free.

But in essence, mobile hotspot works fine on stock rooted or the custom ROMs.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hulk0069:
thanks to all for giving me advice..off to root :)

True enough. I find the free app FoxFi to make it VERY simple to tether with or without root!

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g0kb3rk:
I own and adore a Desire Z which is rooted and a fast custom Gingerbread ROM installed. Z has been my everything since I bought it. I even use it like a smaller netbook. But recently, I found a second-hand N7000 which is very very cheap. I want to buy the N7000 without selling the Z. Any ideas of solution?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aalupatti:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonpaslim:
Be carefull of that note it might had gone through superbrick issue with 8+ gig internal memory left, because of the pit partition work around solution.

About that desire z and note problem. You could stick them together back to back, how about that. Just kidding.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warfareonly:
Don't sell the Z.Buy the Note.Simple.Not sure what your problem is ? :confused:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kangal:
I own both.

And a GameGripper.

Truthfully, wait for 1 month.

If the NOTE 2 is a dud (ie small evolutionary revision), then get the NOTE 1.

Because of the new model, the N7000 price would pitfall -it might be the same as the price you have on offer.

Besides, by the time the NOTE 2 gets custom firmware and to a stable degree ... it will be at least 4-6 months, whereas the NOTE 1 is ready now.

However, you need to be careful of:

- Clone Chinese Note phone (ARM11 processor, 5in screen, fake build.prop and Imei)

- Bricked NOTE's (emmc bug)

- Disabled NOTE's (revived from brick, but lost some Nand storage)

After you buy the NOTE 1, you won't ever use the Desire Z.

Mine is collecting dust, I need to sell it. I suggest you sell yours immediately after you receive your NOTE1/NOTE2.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g0kb3rk:
First thank you for your answers and sorry to reply too late.

I have done my researchs and now I am more lost. Since then I added a new option: selling the netbook+ Z and buying a second hand Galaxy P6200. The reason is my netbook (Acer Aspire One D 260) is too slow for Windows and Linux distros so I need a device which will handle my every need.

I have given up on Note because it is still too expensive in Turkey. So as you can see with a small budget cell phone technology doesn't give different and variable choices.

Wish me luck

So my brand new GNex had the wi-fi not working problem. (In a wi-fi turning on loop) I was wondering if you guys had ever been through this process? I forgot to ask customer service these questions.. answer them? <33 lol

Questions-

*Do I have to return everything (headphones,charger,battery,box,usb,phone)? Or just the phone?

*How long does it take?

*Anything I can do without wi-fi or data since I'll have this phone overnight?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] biscuitownz:
You have to return everything I assume.

Depends if they're repairing it or replacing it.

Enjoy the screen? :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] OneFreshDude:
Yeah, I called and they said everything.

I'm pretty sure they're replacing it.. forgot to ask about that. :( Do you know how long it'd take?

Good idea, haha. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] biscuitownz:
If they are giving you a replacement it should take no longer than a week. Repairs will vary I guess, doubt they'll do a repair though. :)

As much as I would love to switch to ICS and start tinkering with it and releasing theming mods, I just can't switch when all the ICS/CM10-based roms have for whatever reason prevented fully zooming out in emails, which worked just fine in gingerbread. Regardless of whichever email app used, from stock to touchdown to maildroid to k-9, you simply cannot zoom out completely, and are forced to pan around oversized emails, scrolling left to right just to see large images, which is a total dealbreaker for me given I NEED to be able to zoom out sufficiently for work emails. If any brilliant human being can figure out how to mod ICS or CM10-based roms or knows of an email app that has some kind of "email overview" feature, please let me know and I would LOVE to donate, cause I am DYING to start tweaking the new roms and making them pretty =)
[LG Nitro HD] scott0:
i read that the stock lg mail client would do this, but you prolly already checked that eh........
[LG Nitro HD] itiskonrad:
SON OF A!!!

I was so excited and so embarassed to discover the stock lg email DOES let you zoom out entirely (you were absolutely right!), and then MORTIFIED to discover it DOESN'T HAVE PUSH!?!?! Are you kidding me? An email app that doesn't have push in 2012??

Okay, so unfortunately I have to clarify...

an email app that lets you zoom out completely AND has push
[LG Nitro HD] Malnilion:
Yo, konrad, quick question since I'm not on an LG ROM. Are you using the automatic configuration in the LG email app? If so, that's wrong. You need to do a manual setup, use the Microsoft exchange option, and set it up like an iPhone would in order to get push. Just search for "gmail exchange" on Google for the settings.
[LG Nitro HD] itiskonrad:
...you brilliant man, you.

Okay, I think I can finally begin the grueling process of transitioning over my picky visual tweaks over to ICS! Woop! Thanks guys!
[LG Nitro HD] Malnilion:
No problem, glad I could help :)

While we're on the subject of the LG email app, I really would kind of like to try using it in CM9/10 if anyone is able to put up the .apk (dunno if it needs to be resigned or anything). I too would really like pinch to zoom out lol.
[LG Nitro HD] MauricioRPP:
just to add some information on the subject: the android default email client NOW is able to zoom out until the message will fit on the screen, and not any further. to do that ou have to go to Settings, General Settins, Automatic Adjust Messages. this will make the emails to open with the content adjusted by it's width. then you can zoom-in freely and zoom-out until the starting zoom position. It seems that ICS does not let we zoom out any further than the starting zoom level. If other email clients could open the messages with the "zoomed-out" view this issue would be solved.

to make things clear: this zoom feature was added on december 05, 2012: http://www.themobileindian.com/news/9551_New-Gmail-app-for-ICS-arrives-with-pinch-to-zoom-feature

Okay, does anyone know of a widget that displays the output of a graphic EQ? Does anyone know what I mean? Just spent about 45 minutes searching the market with no luck. It doesn't have to be tied to a music player or even an adjustable EQ for that matter. Just want a widget that displays sound output through a 2D graphic equalizer, kinda like the "spectrum" live wallpaper that's pretty much standard on every android phone, only a widget, and a 2D graphic EQ. I would think that this would exist. Thanks.
