[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saturax555:
I bought it for this, and I use my note this way: all in one:

web, gaming, email, tel, social, gps, mp3, dictionary, maps, books, manage files in cloud, taking note, shopping list... : EVERYTHING.

ultimate device, I do not need anything else.

Note is Better than S3

Ive been an htc and sprint user for ever and i finally switched to verizon and got me the samsung gs3

i know this device is new so development is just getting started.

I hope to see some awesome roms on this phone

cause right now stock i dont like it at all...

im not a fan of touchwiz at all

what is the the go to rom at the moment for this phone
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ChrisNee1988:
I am actually running stock rom on my phone but theres a thread for CM10 here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1788443

Though I see lots of people posting issues, so I've been staying away from it, and looking into the Touchwiz ROMS more.

I think one of the biggest ways to make touchwiz feel more like stock android experience is to use Apex or Nova launcher.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rpenkar:
I recommend Synergy. Team Synergy has been very active in the community with suggestions and developing the rom. I believe nightlies are coming soon. Link below:

Thanks for the responses

I'm confused tho I always thought that these phones get updates before other phones or is that the nexus phones?

I thought we had jelly bean already
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Nexus devices receive updates first, they have stock Jellybean officially released.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rbellis:
I am looking into getting the GS3 sometime this week as a Bday gift to myself. Turned 31 today and I am damned tired of my iphone. I had the Moto X2 and I hated it. I was always having to reboot the phone because of lag or it just freezing up. I went to the iphone to get away from this. I had read that because the X2 was one of the 1st duel core phones, there were a lot of issues. The GS3 being a quad core, there is almost zero lag and one of thos issues.

I knw this doesn't relate to the topic and I am sorry. Just really happy to be getting the GS3 to go with my Samsung Tab 2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
The international version is the only version of GSIII with quad core. The US variants are dual core S4 (only processor that combined LTE) which benchmark quite favorably against quad core. Just clarifying because this is the Verizon model's thread were discussing this in.

Welcome to the GSIII either way! Overall, this phone has been great for me in almost every capacity.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] guthrien:
I just switched from iPhone, I love it. It's so fast you could just run an alternate launcher if you dislike TouchWiz, there's no performance hit. I consider rooting essential for everyday apps but beyond experimentation I have no deep desire to flash a ROM. I'd like Jelly Bean but it's the fastest ICS device I've used even with a skin on it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XTRoRDiNAiRE:
This is the first device that I'm kinda scared to root.. The process looks pretty complicated

I can't believe there is no switch to turn 4G off.. And it would be nice to be able to change the lock screen shortcuts
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hitman3984:
Take this with a grain of salt but I went from the moto droid(original) to gs3. rooted the droid, rooted my s3. I found S3 so easy it was almost dummy proof.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Zalithian:
Rooting this phone is a piece of cake. Now getting CM10 or AOKP on it without anything going wrong is another story...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XTRoRDiNAiRE:
I guess this is what I mean.. It looks like there are more steps to flashing roms

Will this get easier in the future? I I ask this because I've never owned a galaxy phone
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Taehee.:
Only the Verizon version has any issues with ROMs. The locked bootloader makes custom kernels difficult; you have to bypass it using the kexec method and all this convoluted bull****.

If you want a custom ROM that's relatively easy to get, use a stock ROM like Synergy or Beans. I believe there's a holo theme for Synergy that makes the phone look like stock. Search around the Themes&Apps forum. Personally, I use Synergy 1.7, which has been pretty great.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] phonex1:
Well, there is this whole IMEI bonanza going on. Flashing CM on captivate was never a problem. This one is a headache.

Nexus it is from now on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XTRoRDiNAiRE:
I think I'm going to have to go to the gnex

This is where impatience gets the best of me

I can't wait around for bootloader to be un locked.. Touch wiz is hands down the lamest ui ever

I can't stand this lock screen
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rbellis:
will dev's ever be able to get this bootloader unlocked? I had always thought that Samsung was good about leaving it unloacked on their phones. I am guessing that once again, this is all on Verizon!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Zalithian:
People are working on getting the bootloader unlocked, but honestly I don't see it happening unless the FCC forces Verizon to do so. Flashing roms isn't that difficult really, but it's certainly not as easy as it was on my OG Moto Droid. Kexec is a workaround which I'm somewhat thankful for I guess. The main problem is there are currently many scary complications that can occur just from flashing any of these non TW roms right now. These problems aren't Verizon S3 specific I hear.

Personally I don't think CM/AOKP etc is worth flashing right now because of kexec and the possibility of losing IMEI/data. Yes the IMEI can be backed up or restored, but what a hassle. I flashed a CM10 nightly and then my data randomly died forever 10 minutes later. Flashing to stock/anything else was useless. Luckily reprovisioning my phone fixed the problem, but if it didn't..

I'm hoping that CM and stuff will be stable/safe within the next month or two but who knows? Verizon probably won't release JB until December or later on the S3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] somerandomguy1:
Agreed. There's still a bit of work that needs to happen in CM10...particularly it dropping data coverage without warning.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] acherons:
My got my phone from Rogers since it released. I met a extremely annoying problem before: people on the other said can't hear me or voice is very low.

I solved this problem by upgrade baseband to xxk6, and it works great till I upgrade to JB (official JB rom JRO03C) .

Now, the problem comes back. 2 out of 3 times I call or receive a call , other people cant hear my voice.

The funny thing is when I try to calling Rogers for help, they cant hear me...

I have tried XXLF1, UGLC1, XXKK6, none of them works.

anyone has the same issue?

Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] garu12:
Hey I'm also on rogers and running JB with XXLA2 no issues. If it persists your phone is busted dude and no radio can fix that :p

What do you think ?
[HTC One S] clewis:
Looks pretty real to me, didn't know it had disabled nfc :eek:
[HTC One S] PUTALE:
highly doubt it's real since if it's there, HTC should've advertise it so they will get more praise for it.
[HTC One S] clewis:
What about the Samsung s2? That has NFC but not in the software.
[HTC One S] Hunt3r.j2:
Probably not. NFC can't get through the metal back cover. Since it can't, I doubt HTC put any NFC chips in the device.
[HTC One S] el_smurfo:
That's why the top and bottom covers are plastic. NFC could get out, just like wifi and cell does.
[HTC One S] k1llacanon:
Why would they put NFC in the device and not advertise it ? They know what they put into the phone as much as id like it to be real it must be fake
[HTC One S] Terminator19:
Be nice if this is true. Not too bothered about it now though as NFC isn't really a big feature here in the UK (yet.....) and can't see it being that popular/"the norm" for at least another year.

It has happened in other phones as well i.e. my last android phone, the Samsung galaxy spica i5700, it had a FM radio chip and also multi-touch, both weren't enabled with stock samsung software and weren't advertised at all or listed in the specs. either, thankfully, one great developer got the multi-touch working superbly.

If this is true about NFC someone should try hitting up leedroid on Twitter he's quite good at porting things over and can give it a shot if he would like to atleast bring it to his attention

Yup David111jr did have this up a few days ago....but the title of his thread didnt help to entice people to read :silly: When i showed this to a few other people, it was mentioned that it might be the cleaver use of Chrome to Phone. It would be awesome if it turned out to be true, but since people like to play nice tricks like this, we will have to wait and see. As for Leedroid, looking through his thread it looks like he might be busy with home things (after all awesome devs have home lives too :) ) . Hopefully a dev can either debunk or reproduce it. I will keep my fingers crossed for sure!!

[HTC One S] salutcemoi:
Try to download Google Wallet from the Play Store:

It will say something like : " this app is not supported by your device"
[HTC One S] AKToronto:
I think the best that we can hope for is for a smart company or group of ppl to come up with credit card sized device that can connect to your phone via bluetooth and provide a link between NFC and bluetooth.

Im sure someone is working on this. Bluetooth signals can be encrypted too, so I think our best bet is to stop wishing for the impossible, and check out specs, etc for such a device, and then lobby google play, etc to allow Google Wallet to be downloaded onto your device assuming it can support a bluetooth connected seperate NFC device.
[HTC One S] Apexsilverevo:
Ah gotcha, I saw it in the HOS forums and thought it was our info. TY
[HTC One S] NQNH:
The answer is in the next post

AKToronto was faster :P
[HTC One S] AKToronto:
I think the point was that if you can't download the nfc supported version of Google wallet bc your device isn't supported (ie HTC One S) then it's likely its bc the HTC One S does not have nfc capability
[HTC One S] PcFish:
Still wouldn't trust it. Google wallet isn't completely secure yet.

Not to mention bluetooth is less secure than WPA. (WPA can be hacked in under 5 minutes)

And you're increasing the range of broadcast by using bluetooth, whereas NFC is a small distance.
[HTC One S] AKToronto:
Good point PcFish. I was thinking about this too. What would be interesting though is a card that could connect to your phone via bluetooth or a teather, and then function on its own as an NFC device, so that you could turn the bluetooth off but still have some relevant info flashed to the card. That would solve the issue of bluetooth and range.

It should be possible!

AK
[HTC One S] PcFish:
May as well have a stand-alone NFC device dedicated for the stuff. lol.

But I do get where you're coming from. I was thinking maybe something like those credit card swipe doohickeys they have for smartphones that plug into the headphone jack. Where instead of a credit card thing, there's an NFC modem.
[HTC One S] bb2htc:

[HTC One S] dc211:
A NFC chip does not exists in the phone. This thread is more of a running joke now more then anything.

It doesn't matter if a metal or plastic body is being used.

The Sony xperia P has an all aluminium uni-body yet it has NFC.

They probably didn't include it because the X would have one less advantage over the S.
[HTC One S] xxquicksh0txx:
And nfc isn't exactly main stream yet. So why put it in(which raises production cost) when there's hardly any places to use it.

[HTC One S] dc211:
It's too bad it's impossible to find teardown pics for our phone. I thought I found some once before but I couldn't right now in a quick search. A company called NXP makes the NFC chips in the latest round of Android phones. Since it is a separate chip and not just another feature in something like the wireless combo chip where they have a bunch of features (the chip in or phone can do FM RX / TX) and simply don't turn them on I'm doubtful.

But if anyone can find pictures of our phones mainboard just look for a chip with NXP on it and the mystery is over.

[HTC One S] k1llacanon:
Guys don't get your hopes high I very much doubt we have NFC lol there are annoyin people who fake things like that because they get a little humour from it but I don't think we have an NFC chip and even if we do I.... A small little tiny chance we do there are not many devs working on the one s and many of them do not even have the HTC one s for example troxx and leedroid so it will be hard to get a teardown

[HTC One S] el_smurfo:
The S4 SOC is so integrated, it's likely that it has the NFC functionality built in along with the cell radio, gps, etc. My company makes several products based on one platform, with various functionality enabled via software. I would guess that NFC is disabled on the HOS to differentiate it from the flagship HOX but could probably work using the HOX drivers.
[HTC One S] dc211:
I was really hoping this was the case but it's not. I looked at the data sheets for the SOC and wireless combo chip. NFC is not present. In the One X & S3 & Nexus S and others I've looked at NFC is provided by a discrete chip from NXP. Since it's provided by a discrete chip and isn't something like the like FM transmit which the wireless chip is capable of but not active chances are very small HTC would add the chip and not use it.

From the Anandtech ATT One X review

`

Everyone remember this is HTC thinnest phone ever, space was a premium. The chance of them adding an extra chip only to not use it is very small.

I want to believe though.

[HTC One S] iheartn1:
the nexus one had fm radio but wasnt enable until miui was able to activate it and create an app for it. it was then ported to cm
[HTC One S] David111jr:
I remember a lot of HTC phones not having fm radio working until cm or miui
[HTC One S] ihateusernames:
I seem to remember this same thing happening with my G2 and fm radio.
[HTC One S] frettfreak:
i suppose there is a SLIM possibility that this is included and not enabled... i doubt it though. NFC is an emerging tech and if there was a chip put in the phone that cost HTC more money to use and then not even a mention or ANYTHING from HTC and NO proof that the chip exists.... not to mention that the OP has not commented an ANYTHING since his post.... hmmmmmmm.... the whole FM argument i dont think would work because the FM was not an aditional chip if i recall correctly, it was just a feature that was not enabled as part of the SOC.
[HTC One S] k1llacanon:
My biggest bet is the op is the owner of the YouTube channel come here ona different name to try get some views for his channels its all fake look when he said it in the forums and when video was posted I saw the post in forums 9hr after video was released and who searches ok YouTube for NFC when HTC said we don't have it

[HTC One S] mjm128:
There's a video of it using a samsung nfc tile to open up google+ and there's a video of the nfc in the computer silencing the phone I believe it is. So there is more than just opening a google homepage. What I really would like to see is a method to get this to work on our own devices. That's where the real proof is at.

[HTC One S] Terminator19:
I am keeping an open mind. It could be very possible or it could just be some guy using a well timed tasker profile and trolling us all.

Thought the same as everyone else for the opening google homepage task (i.e. firefox/chrome to phone) but the other 2 videos have me wondering....

As I said before, this wouldn't be the first time this has happened, many phones are released with certain features, which are always disabled but later on developers etc. find out about them and port/write code to get them working and they also aren't advertised as features let alone even known about at first. Just because it isn't listed in the spec. sheet on HTC, gsmarena etc. does not mean that it doesn't actually have NFC.

After all the one XL has NFC and it is pretty much the exact same as the S for hardware except the screen, so it is very possible that the S does have NFC.
[HTC One S] raikesy:
Be nice if its genuine.. be nicer if he came here to share/explain :)
[HTC One S] Hunt3r.j2:
The difference is that the One XL has a fully plastic unibody which means they can just slap the NFC antenna in the middle of the case, the One S can't.
[HTC One S] Terminator19:
As has been said before, the sony xperia P also has an aluminium uni-body yet has NFC (officially works), so no reason why the S or any other other mobile with a metal chassis can't.
[HTC One S] stratax:
its probably the same reason why it has a VGA front facing cam and not a HD screen like its older brother. cheaper.
