[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graffixnyc:
Because it doesnt have the TMO radio band for TMO's HSPA+ (wait I forget this is the international section, are you talking about TMO US?) If It's TMO US that is why. the international doesnt have TMO's AWS band for their HSPA + so you will be stuck on 2G data speeds
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nodstuff:
Because the international S3 can only get 2g speeds on T-Mobile.

you can get hspa+ if you use it on at&t or if you are in one of the areas where T-Mobile has refarmed the 1900mhz frequency for 3g but I think I saw someone mention here yesterday that there are only 5 areas so far but they should be more widespread in the next few months.

Is there any way I can get my radios to be us tmo I have international phone us tmo service
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Red Wolf:
No you have to wait or change to att
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nodstuff:
No.

Its a hardware thing, not a software thing.

You have three choices, wait for 1900mhz to be refarmed to 3g in your area, change to at&t or put up with 2g speeds.

Simple as that really.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samwest39:
Thanks you allot I doubt I'll ever get the better speeds in my area owell

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nodstuff:
I can only imagine how you feel being stuck with that constantly, when I lose signal with my carrier (3 Ireland) it roams onto vodafone Ireland and I only get 2g speeds then, its unbearably slow.

When I was in America a few months back I got a tmo sim in new Orleans and had 3g speeds but when I went about 5 hours north I was roaming on at&t and they don't let you use data at all when roaming, a-holes!

How can I get the nexus home navigation strip on my omega rom?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nodstuff:
Step 1. Use search, its not difficult, google is also very good at searching for things.

Step 2.

Add qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 to your build.prop and you'll have the navbar.

This is for free, this time.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samwest39:
Thanks one problem I have no computer lol and would this work for omega roms?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nodstuff:
Ya it'll work for any rom, you don't need a computer, just use a root explorer and go to /system/ and open build.prop in text editor and add that line at the end. Easy.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zalamea23:
So I tried rooting my T-Mobile Samsung Vibrant T959 successfully and tried flashing a ROM. In the middle of the loading, my phone reboots and gets stuck at the vibrant loading screen. Now it won't turn on.

I've rooted my old phone before and for some reason this time it didn't work. I followed instructions but now I guess it's broken.

*I used the oneclick root program. Followed instructions and what not.

Is my phone completely broken now? Or there's still a chance?

Not sure if this is what they call a hard brick or not.. I'm hoping it's not. Don't have time or will to search the forums. I'm panicking.

It's stuck on the Vibrant screen and doesn't do anything even if I wait.

Need a fast response asap please.

Any help would be very much appreciated!

Thank you!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsgun357:
Well first I think you are rooted, if you were able to put a ROM on the root of your phone and then use cwm recovery to install.....you are rooted.

Now pull the battery and put it back, hold vol up/vol down and power, it should take you back to recovery then reflash the ROM. You are not hard bricked.

sent from my magic box to yours
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zalamea23:
I have been trying to get back to recovery but it takes long and doesn't do it. I'll keep trying though.

I'll report back in a few.

EDIT: After a few minutes of trying.. I think it finally worked. Got to recovery and was able to flash the rom.

Hopefully everything will be stable.

Thank you so much!

Very sorry if this is an issue, but I already posted this in the Photon 4G General section on accident and I wanted to move it here, but this technically becomes a duplicate post and I don't want to clutter things up. I'll look into deleting my original post:

Anyway, not sure how many people have seen this, but they have nightlies for the new VLC app. Here's a link. I have all Tegra devices (MoPho, Transformer, Nex7) so this made my day. The website itself just links to NEON versions, but the link below goes to the Tegra2 version:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] solidbau5:
So I just ordered an OEM battery for about $7, but I'm still interested in a high quality slim battery. Anyone find one brand stands out in particular? I see Anker was popular, is it still the best?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Instant Soup:
I know anker is well known brand. the only problem with the g2x is that there is no additional room for a larger capacity battery. I haven't found any batterys with higher density, but I would definitely like to see a post that shows which batteries have a longer life span.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] redhotstang90:
I have the Extended Battery, had to change my back case :(

its think, 3700mah. I have searched for one to fit in the reg case that had more juice no luck.

I am currently using the reg battery and case, because Genesis Rom with harsh kernel has some good batt life. So thank god for that.

If anyone knows of a higher than 1500mah batt that fits our normal case please let me know :)

Thanks, and i want to say hello to everyone ive been a member for months but i just now decided to make posts.

XDA is like my homepage, i always run here when something isnt right right my G2X. Now my phone is running 100% with harsh's new kernel :) and Genesis ICS AOSP ROM Stable 1, which is simply amazing. I OC'd to 1408 and its running great, no issues so far.

Took me a long time to get a WIFI hotspot app to work tho, but i found one :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
Get one of these:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MikesDroid:
Nice tips
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jhuff83:
I'm not quite sure if leaving the GPS on actually eats up battery now. I've seen articles now that state that GPS is only used if a program needs it. When I go into battery and usage, GPS will only show it has been used only a couple times with the apps that I opened such as Facebook, Speed Test or Gas Buddy. I think with ICS, it has changed in the way that GPS actually works and it is not actually constantly using battery.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Biofall:
This is correct and I have confirmed it. Just haven't updated the op.

Thanks for calling that to my attention.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fzammetti:
The one about turning radios off is one that makes all the sense in the world, but I'm not sure in practice if it makes a significant enough difference to override the inconvenience of having to flip things on and off as needed.

I can only speak from personal experience but for about two weeks my wife and I, both with S3's, were shutting radios off when not needed out of habit from our Epic days. However, since then (well over a month now) we just leave everything on all the time... and I do mean *everything*: GPS, Wi-Fi, NFC, cell radio, BT... and the difference has been... wait for it... so little it's actually been hard to quantify!

My own take on that rule is to leave everything on and see what you see... it's always easy enough to turn things off if you find your battery life not living up to expectations and if it winds up being a trend, so be it, leave things off as suggested in the OP. For my wife and I at least we can get through an average day and finish up before going to bed around 30%-40% battery most days. To me, even if I could get that to 40%-50% left, that 10% difference I can accept for never having to worry about what's on or off.

Laziness has a price, and it's around 10% of my battery life apparently :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Brandon:
great tips!!!! definitely improved my battery with these!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Biofall:
The radios are extremely dependent upon your area, signal strength, the walls of your house, the apps you have installed that actually call upon the data... So ideally, if your area has amazing signal, your walls are hyper radio permeable, and you don't have many data intensive apps, then you can probably get by with minimal loss. People who are feeling the itch to test should certainly go ahead and try, but the same could be said with most of these tips. This is simply a guide of suggestions. YMMV
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 551skydiver:
Gps Radio?

Really? The radio, even if left on, uses power only when an app needs the position. I am kinda boggled by this? Wouldn't it take longer to aquire the location from the 3-7 sateilites upon the request and then shut back down. What would be the diference? This can't be true about the GPS not sucking any power in ICS when idle.

BUMP
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jhuff83:
Try leaving it on for the day and go into battery and click on the graph. You will see that it should be black across the board for GPS if the signal was not used. Only time it would be green is when a program utilized it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sekigah84:
ICS changed the Battery Stats. It doesn't display that information in About Device. Uptime is there but awake time isn't.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Biofall:
Actually, that's incorrect. Menu>Settings>Battery>click on the small graph picture. It gives you many things, including time on battery, Awake time, Screen on time, and charging time. It's just graphically represented.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ycats:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rlockwich:
I disable everything when I go to sleep at night, or when I am putting my phone on charge in middle of the day to maybe help it gain battery while not draining it, sort of like a power charge I like to think. It's so easy to do, just slide down status bar, uncheck everything (WiFi, Mobile Data, Sync, dim screen all the way) and that's it. I had 22h1m running since last charge today when I was at 4%.

:good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] abhaxus:
Also, apparently Google apps backup is broken for some users. I had a problem with the phone not sleeping and traced it to google backup, apparently it's a common problem with ICS. This is unrelated to contacts/calendar sync. If you have the phone device rooted and use titanium you can leave this off, and as long as you don't lose your phone it's no big deal. Setting is under system settings -> backup and reset.

Figure I would show this off here, had the flu last week and was basically comatose for 30 hours. Only about 2 hrs screen on time, but all radios on and even passed out with navigation on after checking traffic at one point. 51 hours :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TambourineMan:
I would try disabling Google backup so it no longer updated/synced my info to the web until I next turned it on, but the option says it deletes all the info already stored on the web. I suppose this is good if someone wanted to delete this info for privacy concerns, but there should be an option to just turn the syncing off, or to schedule it for once a day or something.

I have not tried disabling it as I do not want to wipe my info.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nook-color:
I'm currently still using my Nook Color as 7" device and it works well, but I've outgrown the performance a long time ago. The Nexus 7 with Tegra 3 really seems to bump the performance and I already like the 7" form.

When I see the Nexus 7 Screen in videos it actuallly looks like the screen is noticeably smaller than my Nook Color's screen. I don't know if it's the jellybean software or something in the way the Nexus 7 was designed.

My questions are

1) Is my smaller screen perception accurate ?

In terms of daily use, is the screen size pretty much exactly as my Nook Color's, or is there something in the design / or software that makes the usable screen on Nexus 7 that's smaller than my Nook ( still haven't seen one in person yet ).

2) When using a browser other than Chrome ( i.e. Mozilla, Opera, Dolphin ), how usable is flash on this device ( one that's not rooted ). I rely on flash quite a bit in my daily use, and wouldn't want the device if it doesn't fully support Adobe Flash right now.

Thanks
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garronkc:
Can't answer your first question because the Amazon products aren't marketed here, but as for your flash question, I use flash on a non-rooted device as well. Works pretty well, though you need to use it on a browser that isn't Chrome (the default browser, which no longer supports flash). I use the mobile version of Firefox, which works plenty well with flash so far.

To install flash:

1. Download the apk on your tablet

2. Install flash by checking allow off market applications in settings, and finding the apk using a file viewer such as Astro

3. Install a non chrome browser (such as Firefox). For firefox, you might want to go to settings to allow all plugins, or you will have to press 'allow this plugin' everytime flash is used.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TheAtheistOtaku:
This has been a problem for a while, but i thought it would be just a simple reflash gapps and maybe rom, so i delt with it for a time. But now i just switch from aokp to cm9, fresh install, and the problem still persists. Anybody else having similar problems or have a fix?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DaMan90:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TheAtheistOtaku:
Tried clearing the data and all the basic troubleshooting you do when something screws up.nothing works
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TheAtheistOtaku:
It is not ics. I've made a few threads and in most of them you come and bash ics. The problem came up recently, and I been on ics since I first got this phone, which was in April, and I've had no problems till now. So if you don't have anything to say about a solution to the problem please, keep your opinions about ics to yourself

Now back to the problem. I've recently switched to cm9 and the problem is also here. It's really annoying when large apps have to update.
