One thing that depressed me, in which was easily resolved, was the ringtones, notifications and alarms. They honestly suck, you could at least give me one business class ringtone (a classic phone maybe). So anyways a quick search of the android market and I am overly satisfied again.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] NightSkylar:
Yes I must agree with you there, the ringtone selection wasn't what I had hoped for. Luckily they're apps which help resolve this issue :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] andrewnelson23:
Thank you so much for your answers!!!!

1. Ahh. We had some of those on the V ac forum.

2. Ohhhh. Well I'm hoping I'll never have to take it in for warranty work, but that's a nice fix!

3. I see. and twrp has no downsides, other than not being officially supported? Does it still flash any rom?? How is the compatibility of backups between the two recoveries?

On the V, I switched firmwares quite a bit with the Optimus S, so I know the importance of knowing all my cell info(nv backup, spc(msl), aaa key, ha key, etc.) Thanks so much for the link on how to backup all of this stuff, I'm sure it's different than the V haha.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] David Dee:
No, backups are incompatible between twrp and cwm. I have done all of my flashing with twrp, problem free.

Am I the the only person in semi hate with the screen i mean Engadget said pen-tile is something you wouldn't notice because of the high res but i still see it as clear as day and the whites on this phone are pretty bad. But im still going to get it over the one x even though i love sense and htc are the only droids i had i wanna try something new.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zmore:
You can only really see the pentile pattern if you actively look for it. It was far worse on my old Captivate because the resolution was much lower; on the S3... i haven't noticed it casually, but if I get up real close and examine the diff between red/green/blue diagonal lines, I can still see the crosshatch diff in red and blue (green is solid).

Much ado over nothing. Samsung said they returned to pentile for the S3 (vs nonpentile in the S2) because the screen lasts longer. I'm fine with that.

EDIT: And because this is OFF-TOPIC, let me just add........ Marklar marklar marklar?! Marklar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where do you guys get authoritative information about Android flashing/modding/development? Like, where does a developer go?

I've read about 10 explanations of deodexing and, while I totally get the "concept," I have lots of little questions questions (are new apps also de-odexed? how can only the first boot slow? someone said they d/l'd regular files and de-odexed himself?!). All the guides explain it simplistically. Where can I find the nitty-gritty and technical explanations of these things? Some super-guide? I don't mind reading 100 pages, as long as it's thorough and authoritative.

I used to mod Sony Ericssons and, while a little difficult, there was one flashing tool, maybe 5 skins for your media player, three or four I-know-what-I'm-doing developers, and we "rooted" using a brute-force method that took sometimes 15 hours. :D And there was no nitty gritty, really, because, if you could edit an XML file, you were close to the end of our knowledge, haha.

Hello everyone. I'm having a hard time installing firmware 3.33, every time that i have flashed it, whether the patch or the full universal, (coming from 3.32, it still shows that i am running 3.32.

Can anyone assist me in getting it upgraded properly?

Thanks and sorry for the noob question.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Did the firmware got flashed?

Did the bootloader found the PG58IMG file and did the update? It will ask you to press volume up for update and vol down for not to update..
[HTC Sensation] ravigodhwani:
Yes it flashes and asks me to press power to reboot. When i go to about phone in settings it still says 3.32.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
You can't see the phone's firmware version from settings

For checking the version

You should do

fastboot getvar version-main

Or if the hboot is 11.24.xxxx then you have 3.33
[HTC Sensation] ravigodhwani:
I see, so in my build number under settings, it's supposed to say 3.32.531.14 and not 3.33?
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

The only thing you can really see when you look at the phone,is that the radio has been updated to a newer version.

Also, try what Ganesh suggests to get the full picture.

I'm having the same problem--

After applying the "Universal" 3.33 Firmware found in the thread:

(Firmware)(July 23)User-Friendly Firmware 1.17/3.12/3.24/3.30/3.32/3.33 Universal

... Via the bootloader--

james@jonahvas:~$ adb shell getprop "ro.build.description"

Still shows:

[ro.build.description]: [3.32.531.14 CL356011 release-keys]

I can find no trace of any indication that my firmware was updated.

Perhaps this "Universal" firmware really only applies to non T-Mo users?

-- and the "Universal" part only applies in the sense that flashing the PG58IMG.zip -- won't brick you if you're a T-Mo user.

---
[HTC Sensation] gol_n_dal:
Don't confuse the firmware with the ROM.

The firmware contains lower level phone related things like the Radio and are independent of the ROM. The ROM, however, will have version dependencies for the firmware, all that will be detailed in the ROM's OP if it's a custom ROM.

What Baseband version are you on ? About Phone ........

11.76A.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx is the one from the 3.33 firmware package

IIRC 11.69.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx is the one from 3.32.

The firmware packages are named after the RUU that the new firmware was initially extracted from.

Here is a picture of my new case
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Coderedpl:
When I had my Galaxy Nexus and I was connected to my home wifi network, it would hold the connection strongly and I would barely ever see it disconnecting, now with the S3 it seems to just drop and sometimes not connect

Is anybody else having such issues? is it just simply weaker?

Also, in terms of gps. When I start a maps application such as Waze, it takes a while to lock on. Sometimes I have to go and clear agps and update it for it to get a lock. Anybody else get this too?

or should i go to verizon and ask for another device? I would rather avoid that since I'm not exactly sure they would give me a brand new device vs a refurbished one or something.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TheDiabolicaL1:
Lots of people having issues with WiFi drops. Its a known issue. I don't know if they're independent from poor data connection speeds or what...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Zool4nd3r:
I'm also having some troubles with GPS lock. I can open up maps and it will sit there for minutes without locking. It isn't WAY off, but it usually puts me within a radius of 1000 ft or so. As far as Wifi I haven't had issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ssnapier:
I am having random GPS issues too... sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dwach414:
I am having the similar issues with the wifi and gps. I can't tell whether the wifi sucks, or whether it just looks like it has less connection because at least it still seems to work well. Right above my router in my room I only get 2 to 3 bars, where on my old Dinc I would always have full. The gps is also a bit finicky. Sometimes it works almost right away, where as other times it will never lock on. I am running Synergy v1.4 and it works better, but when I was running v1.3 it never worked at all. My friend also has a galaxy s3 and when I compared them side by side, this is inside her house so be wary, hers locked on with in a couple of seconds where as mine would never lock on even after 10 minutes. I'm not sure if this is a software issue, or hardware, but if anyone has some insight that would be great.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Farabomb:
Unfortunately it didn't seem to help much. I had a call into verizon about the issue so I'll be going back to stock and visiting a store to get a new sim. Hopefully it will fix it. I still feel it's because I'm in a fringe area and when the cell radio drops it wigs out the wifi radio. Iirc they are on the same chip so it kinda makes sense. I have 0 issues at work with the wifi but I have a much better cell signal there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] M4gicM@:
I am also on the edge of towers and get wifi anomolies. My wifi shows a connection and the data arrows work but there is no data (or it is very very slow, on the order of bps). I concur that the 4g dropping wigs it out.

Hi guys, question. My Nexus plays music through my aftermarket stereo fine through bluetooth but my annoyance is that the info doesn't show up. ie artist name, songs etc. While my ipod shows it all.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] larry21:
Okay, newbie here. Will be buying my first smartphone and I've decided on the galaxy nexus. First, some important info: I'm from Canada. Bell has the phone on a three year contract with a $50 plan, which I don't want. So I'm looking at buying an unlocked version so there won't be contracts and I can use which ever carrier I want.

NegriElectronics seems to sell it unlocked. (aww.....can't post links.)

However, when I asked the guy, he said that it was the GSM version so will only work with gsm networks. But from my research online and a similar post on this forum, it seems that any and all galaxy nexus phones have quadband gsm and pentaband hspa so will work with all carriers?

So I'm currently confused as to which one is correct. I really want to make sure. Since I'm new to this, any help is appreciated. Thanks. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] abnah:
Both are correct. The GNex is a quadband GSM phone, and thus will operate in all GSM networks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
Canadian carriers already killed cdma, so you can use it on basically any carrier you want on Canada. Only if it's not lte SIM card or anything like that
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] larry21:
Thank you very much to both for clarifying. So wait, what if I buy the galaxy nexus from either windmobile or mobilicity as they both allow you to buy it outright without contract? Will I still be able to use the phone with other carriers or will it be locked to the company I bought it from?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
I believe all gsm Google galaxy nexus is pure Google with no restriction, so yes, you can. I have galaxy nexus from bell and I am using it on Koodo
