Too late for me, I got a white 16GB one for free from Verizon. ( they messed up the Razr with the ICS update. It broke flash player and more)

This will be cool for fan's of black and I would likely want black, but I kind of like to have white just one time at lest. :)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DRAZY:
Well, having seen the pictures of the black model and the blue mode in person there is definitely distinguishable difference in color. The black S3's color is dark and rich while the pebble blue looks more purple which is why I opted for the white S3. I was hoping a black model would have been released first.

Hi

I've been receiving lately some kind of spam messages from by provider. It's not a normal SMS (I have a blocker in whitelist mode, only my contacts get through). It appears, covering the whole screen, not letting me do anything unless I click "ok" or "cancel" on the message. It works like a fullscreen pop-up.

People from all other carriers in my country get it too, on some local forums they say it's a "class 0" message.

http://www.gsm-technology.com/gsm.php/en,unlock,subpage_id,smsfaq.html

At the bottom says:

At first I though it had to do with the "cell broadcast" thing, but I have it disabled and the spam still comes through. I looked in ALL Android options and no sign of anything to disable this. Also call & sms blockers don't seem to affect this kind of messages.

Is there any way to disable this? Even if it means installing a custom kernel or something.

Also, are these really "class 0" messages or it's something else? Btw, I'm on ICS 4.0.4.

Thanks

P.S.: Complaining with the operators doesn't work in this crappy 4th world country. They do whatever they want and no one cares nor regulates the services (like the millions of spam sms you get every day, at least blocker apps work there). Now this appears to be a new trend in spam here...

Have had trouble sorting out if it is ok to flash modem's from ICS. I know the issues with flashing kernel's / roms without going back to el26, but I am just wondering if the same applies to modems. I live in a new place and sprint's service is terrible and I am trying to find the best modem for my location having already played with prl.

thanks in advance. I know this should be an easy question to find the answer to, but I really wasn't able to find info and I assume someone can answer quick versus me spending weeks trying to locate the answer.

I gather the answer is that new 'safe' recoverys should make it ok, but that some people still think el26 is the best practice.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bsaman:
I've owned my tab since it first came out, and one thing has been bothering me since day one. Does anyone know why the browser performance is so poor on my tablet (I don't think this affects everyone with a TF300T).

In stock form, the browser would hang on many web pages, especially those with ads. I tried many different browsers with no luck. I finally broke down and unlocked and put CM9 on it, and the performance was much better, but not great. Now running JB and I no longer get the hangs, but the browser performance overall is still poor.

I've sort of learned to live with it, and thought it was simply due to CPU or I/O performance on a device not designed for sustained performance, but for comparison, sites on my HTC Vivid (Android 4.0.3) in stock browser or Chrome are about on par with a Windows desktop. I've seen chatter online regarding a forthcoming Asus upgrade to address I/O (something to do with MySQL or SQLLite performance, can't recall the details). Anyone have experience with this or any input for me?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nooktablet:
i had the same experience before i rooted and installed adfree,

yesterday i rooted mine and installed adfree, then now i see no ads and the browser is really quick, i'm sure the ads make the browser hangs, i'm using chrome
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bsaman:
I've encountered two issues with this as a solution:

1. Adfree isn't very manageable. If I do want ads on a page (somes sites refuse to play video unless you watch the ads first). Adfree doesn't provide a UI to easily bypass the block, and editing the HOSTS file is problematic as it is too big to open in most tablet text editor.

- <aside>Could my inability to open and edit the HOSTS file be somewhat related? The tablet has enough RAM to open a >100MB file, yet I can't get it to open without locking up the text editor </aside>

2. My phone doesn't have adfree and the sites behave normally. No delays.

Hi Guys,

I have installed paranoid android cm10 last night. I was good but gmail was force closing, so I tried to install latest version thru goo manager app. I have installed recovery which it told me to get it but once i reboot my phone into recovery its no more moving a head. all I see is teamwin wallpaper and system reboots... any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] piiman:
It probably didn't flash a kexec recovery. Just boot into recovery and flash a non kexec ROM ...hopefully you have one sitting on your SD card. If not your have to get one there or dd a kexec recovery with adb and reboot with the ROM you currently have installed
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Vorfidus:
I guess he can't even get into recovery, as he said all he sees is wallpaper. He used TWRP recovery, which is NOT Kexec enabled. In order to flash CM, you needed to flash CWM 6.0.1.0. Now, basically your only choice is to either adb the cwm recovery, or just reflash stock using odin (easier option), flash cwm, then reinstall CM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] piiman:
It's odd his recovery won't open I wonder if goo flashed the incorrect version.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] stryfe1986:
Ok guys so I hate this phone, I've never wanted to punt a phone up until now, It freezes, crashes, and is extremely annoying but I thought hey maybe if I root it and install a custom rom it make my experience with this phone much better since that's how it went with my G2. I know there are plenty of roms and root instructions out there I was wondering if could get some suggestions or recommendations.

So here is my question, rooting, I found this pretty neat one click roo for this phone, do you guys suggest it? Or is there a better way of doing it?

Second question, I've seen a rom for this phone called RAGE and that's it would you guys be able to suggest a great rom for this phone?

I've only ever rooted the G2 and used CM rom, so ima little new to the rootng world.

Thank you guys so much in advace!!

Hi guys, I'm a little confused about what's going on. My note keeps coming up that there is a new update available and every time I try it it fails and comes up with a message telling me to do it via Kies. Problem is that according to Kies I've got the latest firmware...

I'm not sure if this is because I flashed the wrong GB kernel or not. Originally I decided to root it, then decided I didn't like it so I flashed the stock Australia kernel to get rid of the yellow triangle. So I'm not sure whether I've flashed a different rom to what I had, but I don't really see why this would confuse Kies...

With Google Drive, we have access to cloud stored documents and files. Now it is time to store apps in the cloud as well. With the size restrictions of the Nexus 7, what better way to shut Apple and Microsoft up than with cloud stored apps. There's no need for expandable on device storage when you can simply upgrade your Google Drive plan, or whatever Google can come up with, to store unlimited apps and app data.

[Nexus 7 General] cokeblack:
Your apps are already stored on the android market.
[Nexus 7 General] reuthermonkey:
I'm gonna guess you haven't thought this out much.

If you mean, no more installing apps to local storage, then that's a lot of bandwidth there to 'use' apps, buddy.

What you're probably thinking of are webapps, and those have been around for years.
[Nexus 7 General] solomonarnett:
Yes. Im thinking of doing away with the need for locally stored apps. And bandwith wouldn't be an issue for Google. Think about how many people are streaming youtube videos and music from Google Play. I'm sure that would be the least of their worries. All I'm saying is that cloud stored apps would kill the selling points of all the other manufacturers on the topic of expanded storage.
[Nexus 7 General] foxmeister:
Actually, I can see plenty of benefit for something like this. There are plenty of apps that I infrequently use, and that are small enough to be dynamically downloaded and executed as required, or at the very least archived back to the cloud and recalled as required.

Yes, you could argue that these could be webapps, but these frequently don't have the necessary system permissions to provide the required functionality when compared to a 'native' app.

Dave

@OP

Look up Chrome OS and learn the reasons why it failed. Therein lies your answer.

OK, a short answer: responsiveness trumps storage savings. Local apps are more responsive than cloud-based apps. QED.

There are certain software categories that are/will be cloud-based. Those you normally use, that require high degree of interaction and responsiveness, are not among them.
[Nexus 7 General] solomonarnett:
With Chrome OS, you're talking about a computer operating system. The reason Chrome OS will fail is because people would rather not carry a laptop around that does nothing more than their tablet. Google realized that, hints why the release of the Nexus 7 and Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. The reality is that Google is moving toward everything being stored in the cloud, one baby step at a time. We can already store music and videos in the cloud from Google Play Music, and Google Play Videos. We can store books and documents as well. All of which can be accessed straight from our Android devices. We're not talking about booting up into a web browser here, we're talking about having apps cued to run from the cloud rather than fill up unnecessary space on limited devices. Take the new Batman game for Android for example. The game data is about 1.3 gb. You're using less than 25% of that while you're playing the game because there are parts of the game saved on your device that you have yet to get to or have already completed. So what's the point of that data being there if it is not being used? Another way to look at it would be apps that you rarely use. Why have them stored locally if you use them once in a while like apps that make the best profile pic on Facebook?
[Nexus 7 General] e.mote:
>The reality is that Google is moving toward everything being stored in the cloud, one baby step at a time

Your version of reality is a bit different than mine, apparently. In my version, bandwidth costs money (not Google's, mine), much more money than additional storage. There's also such a thing as latency.

>We can already store music and videos in the cloud from Google Play Music, and Google Play Videos.

You must like playing crappy DRM-infested streaming-quality videos as opposed to fullHD ones. Good for you.

>we're talking about having apps cued to run from the cloud rather than fill up unnecessary space on limited devices.

Android has been raked over the coals for its "unsmooth" UI. Now, think of what happens when apps take a few more seconds to start-up each time.

I'm not sure how simpler I can say it, so I'll just say it again: RESPONSIVENESS TRUMPS STORAGE SAVINGS. Is that good enough, or do I need to translate it to Morse code?
[Nexus 7 General] R3dbeaver:
agree on all points.

i dont care about Google's bandwidth, but if my cable internet at home starts getting finicky or slows down during busy hour, my apps going to slow down too?

are you insane? LOL

in-game experience: finish quest! yay! let's roam the open world on my batcycle to *HITINVISIBLEWALL* - "please wait while Google download this area of the map for you"

in other words; web app doesn't work. media files on one hand, such as movies or music, is GREAT for streaming. that's why Play works (to a certain degree). but games, facebook, quick office, and every other apps? streaming online? people b1tch loud enough when they have to sign-in to the internet when they want to play games (see Nexus 7 forum - app and themes - Gaming thread), and they scream even louder when they have to be connected to the internet ALL THE WHILE playing a game. you want to store some files in the cloud?

let me get this straight - i'm a cloud supporter. i do. i love clouds. most of my stuff is in the cloud or media server and i only have the 8gb version. but your idea of putting *everything* in the cloud... is about a decade too early.

maybe in 2022 most north americans will be using Google Fiber at their homes, and 90% of world's population have affordable access to considerably fast broadband, then it'll fly.

OnLive.

It isn't quite there yet IMO, but in a couple of years time, it will be (or another similar service anyway).

Of course, it won't be a panacea for all, since there are always going to be places where you can't get online (either physically, or economically), but I can certainly see games architects designing more and more for a thin client "cloud" experience.

I'm greedy and live in a physical world,,look what happened to that poor chap who lost his entire digital life when his apple account got hacked.Still don't trust having my stuff on a server without a physical back up
[Nexus 7 General] e.mote:
>OnLive.

The bulk of a game's size is in its art/gfx assets. Larger resolution + more details = ever larger assets. It's more efficient to store (and render) them locally. OnLive's USP is that it does server-based renders, which allows any low-end device to play any high-end game. That's fine, but there is no magic, and there is no free lunch.

With OnLive, the bottleneck is shifted from the local storage/CPU to your Internet connection. The result is that bandwidth and latency are now your bottlenecks. As already said, storage is much cheaper than bandwidth. If you're buying the N7 to save money, then having to subscribe to a cloud-based game outfit to work around its limitations is penny wise, pound foolish. You're better off buying a tablet with more storage capability in the first place.

OnLive, or more generically, "game streaming," is not a panacea. Both bandwidth and latency are issues, and they can't be entirely removed, but only mitigated. Read the below for more detail:
