[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 4g4me:
All,

I am new to the SGS3 and I am reading around about the LG2/4/8 updates. My question is which is newer, and whats the difference between them? Do they refer to just the baseband/modem version or the firmware as well? I have googled all over and no one seems to have started a thread on this yet. Common sense would tell me that LG8 is the latest but I have LG2 and I was current until last night when I started getting harassed by the stock OS to upgrade. I am rooted so I am not going to take the OTA but just looking for some info.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jamcar:
LG8 is the newest and it helped about lte but not much else I use LG8 but it depends on your area
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 4g4me:
Thank you for your contribution. So it goes lg2 lg4 then lg8 and so far I believe that the radios are updated and what else. Anyone?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DrKaotica:
They refer to complete builds of the software for the phone.

Samsung radios are independent from the rest of the software.. but a new version of the modem is released with each build.

So if you never root, you'll have the latest software build along with the latest radio.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 4g4me:
Thanks for the reply. Is it possible to use the modem radio from a LG2 and firmware fr a LG8? I have seen others document that they believe LG2 has best battery but the worst reception so if you r in a great reception area (city) and battery is your concern then you could mix them. I am not in that situation, reception is paramount for me but I was just wondering....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] musclehead84:
Yes you can. You can also use different kernels as well as long as it's the same operating system. Modems are independent of the Rom and can be mismatched

Sent from Galaxy SIII
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 4g4me:
I am familiar with kernels and HTC radios. I find it funny that android devices vary so much between manufacturers. I just wasn't sure if there may be incompatability Issues since they name the firmware release and the radio release the same you would assume that had to be matched.

Thank you for your response

I just found out about this app. I'm so mad!! >=.[

Once my Sprint plans runs out, Ima get me a MiFi device. For home use, I'll connect my laptop to this device, then I'll bridge my router to my laptop, thus allowing unlimited devices. =.P

I think this solves any Unlimited Talking and Text over data. Talk about cheating the system. The only downfall is that the MiFi devices usually have caps. =.[

Groove IP says it uses 1.2Mb per minute on a call, but I don't talk a lot. And I average 2GB per month. But that's only because I'm still in school and since I work there I can use the employee WiFi getting 12-15Mb speeds and at home I get 10Mb speeds. LoL!!

I kinda doubt I'll go to far since once I did 30GB from NetFlix on the Wii with about 4 other devices using my internet. Though now I think I'm just ranting. LoL!!
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] tengtengvn:
I have a Mifi from work. That thing doesn't provide a reliable connection for anything and its battery doesn't last long.

Save that money, get a GSM phone and a MVNO plan (Simple Mobile). You can also tether the phone to your Nexus via bluetooth.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] No_Nickname90:
Well by MiFi device I meant anything that does the same thing. I should have said a portable hotspots device. But I thought they're reception was just as good as a phone. So if you had a phone with the same service that means you wouldn't be getting as much service from work. And I have a 5000 mA battery charger. So battery isn't an issue. What's an issue is what you're telling me. If that's so, then it looks lyks my idea won't get me very far. LoL!! Thanks for the insight.

This is how you do it:

Download Talkatone from the play store

Download and sign-into google voice

Go into your google voice settings and foward calls to google chat

Go to walmart and get the tmobile monthly 4g plan $30 100 min unlimited text and 5gb 4g data

go back to google voice after you set up your tmobile plan and forward calls to the new cell phone number

Tether your internet from your andoird phone to tablet and enjoy using calls on your Nexus 7 for $30/month

(if you wanna be cool download Llama app in the play store and put it on your device that your using to tether so you can set profiles when you leave wifi netowrk the howspot on the phone turns on so you never loose data connect to your nexus 7.;)

[HTC One X] saw man:
Hey there, I have a some questions 4 r I hope I get an answer for:

1-I'm a galaxy S1 user with no lock Bootloader, does it hard to lock and root than flash Rom's as Simmy phones?

2-what's the known problems of this device? Have the new update solve it out?

3-in my S1 ,in a normal day use , I got 23h of battery life (with sync,Bluetooth,...off) what's the result in the OneX ?

4-users said the battery life is massively increased ,by how mush you guess?

5-does the update solve the 23fps issue in video recorded?

6-do u think this device will keep getting updates as mush it can handle it ,or will be abounded due to the company passing through a financial problem,especially when it abound the desire HD ,while it can handle the ICS ,my S1 can :D

7-I would like to see what have the new update add +pic's.

Thx, sorry for writing in such a miss ,by the way ,how's my English ,I'm really interested in what u think ;)
[HTC One X] PhoenixFx:
You can find answers to all your questions by searching this forum. Most of the topics (i.e: how to root, battery life etc.. have their own dedicated threads). But I will give you few simple answers to start you off.

It involves several steps, but they are very easy to follow. Keep in mind : Unlocking the boot loader would most probably void your warranty, and there is NO way to revert it back to the original state without any traces ! (You might be able to root without unlocking the boot loader in the future, but its not possible yet. For more info read up on S-OFF)

There is a known wifi antenna issue with older models, a screen flickering problem (to which there is already a software fix), and multi-tasking issues in HTC’s ROM. Some have also reported overheating under heavy 3D gaming

I too had a S1 previously; in my experience battery life is about the same (perhaps slightly less in One X, but not much). I can comfortably get through the day (16+hrs) which is enough for me.

Massively increased compared to what?

Didn’t check, don’t record videos much

S1 never got an official ICS update from Samsung, if you consider custom ROMs (i.e CM ROMs) then One X has plenty of support in that department. So even if HTC fails to keep up with the updates the community will (however you may not get all the benefits of the phone with 3rd party ROMs, for example camera features or quality)

It didn’t add much visual changes, except the ability to remove a special menu bar that appeared with some older apps, and a quick settings option in the notification area. Again search for more info.

I think the ota and better benchmark of hox put Sammy nervous. I read the full Forum and never see such a movement and problemas, and questions. Htc is doing well so.

My friend, the Forum is full of thread about general info, roms, kernels, mods.

So dont be lazy and read. I spend 3 hours a day reading and learning so you can do the same.

It shouldn't refuse to install, however.

HERE is a working one.

Install it.

Then open the play store on your PC and find Wallet.

It should show as installed: update available. You can either update here.

And for future updates, keep this qr code around. Scan it with Google Goggles, and open the link with the play store. This will bring you automatically to the Wallet Install page. (Won't work until you already have wallet on your device and have the play store acknowledging said link)

You can also find wallet (again, after the store knows it's there) via the Play Store on your phone under the My Apps > All page.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Eliott:
When I plug my phone into my PC I can see a file on my SD card called 'Android' with my game data.

But when I open ES File explorer on my phone there is another file called 'android' (small 'a') which appears empty, but I can't delete it.

When I go up to root /data/media I can see what looks like my SD card with the 'Android' and 'android' folders but there appear to be duplicate files while others are missing or moved.

I think after flashing new kernels this week there are duplicate files being created. I often have to re-download game data after flashing a kernel and I seem to be losing a lot of SD memory.

I just want to know which folders should I delete?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eksasol:
Using superuser permission should allow you to delete the "android" folder or file. If ES Explorer don't work, try Root Explorer or do it in adb if you know how.

In linux file systems, A and a can be two different files or folders.

Or you can reflash google factory image and that will wipe the entire internal storage.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Eliott:
Thanks.

I managed to delete both the Android folders.

Had to re-download all my game data but I've ended up with about 3 gig more memory.

Hey

So I wiped everything , trying to get my phone contacts back , but I cant

I have a full backup with Titanium Backup

I did wipe before and restored with no problems

now I have CM9 and i'm trying to restore my contacts (a backup I took before using stock ICS) but contacts won't show up

any idea ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cris.esza:
If you have your contacts backed up with Google you don't need to use Titanium Backup or any other system, just log in to your Google account and then go to Sync Settings and trigger a synchronization, that will restore all your contacts automatically. Contacts-Sync works across all versions of Android.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baz77:
cm9 has with good reason in first post dont restore with titanium

Tip always read first post and thread.

Best way is to revert to prior rom, restore, then synch with google and check if its all there, then go to cm9 and synch back. But be safe doing it.

I guess titanium can restore apps safely but data no, no gaurantee it will run perfectly. which is why in first thread it says no.

even between stock versions I run into issues, so I dont do it. When on one version, it shouldnt be an issue, backing up and restoring.

[LG Optimus Black] Deleted member 4352545:
Yes. I don't know, how much you know, so if you need a more detailed explanation, just tell me.

But you know, that you need a rooted device, okay?

I explain, how to do this without xml editing, because it's easier and if you're lucky, it works fine without.

First copy the sms application from your phone to your computer.

Then replace the '.apk' with '.zip'.

Okay, now you should be able to open the app with winrar or 7zip.

Navigate to the drawable hdpi folder. There you can find all images. (Some are located at no dpi and land dpi too.) Now do the same with a samsung sms app. (You can get it by extracting it from a samsung stock rom.) Simply replace the images with the images of the samsung app.

Maybe you have to change the names, because the new images must have the names of the old images.

And it's important, that you choose as compression methode 'none'. (The default option is 'normal'.)

The last step is, to rename it again to '.apk' and replace the old sms app on your phone. But do a backup of the app before.
