I like my phantom but im having trouble with background noise on it, not sure why.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] OnceAMatrixMan:
The Case Mate looks great but I agree no holster no deal. Same for the Commuter, looks perfect but no holster. Had the Sedio Active for 2+ years on my Incredible and it was great but I want more protection for the S3. So I'm going to keep looking and waiting for my perfect case.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] CZ Eddie:
I tried and liked the Seido Active. I had just one issue with it (other than being a little slippery).

Does anyone else have an issue where the covered volume buttons don't line up properly with the hard buttons underneath the plastic? The power button was fine, but I had a heck of a time when pressing the volume buttons.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] RocStar629:
I have the Seido Active, in Black with the kickstand but no holster. No i do not have the problem that you mention, however i do wish that the molding on the buttons were more defined. It may be nit-picky, but the volume up key is hard to find unless i am looking straight at it, if i am just feeling for it i find myself fumbling around looking for it. The Power button is the same way. I feel like the case adds a streamlined feel and therefore i can't feel my buttons! lol. I don't have as big of an issue with the volume down though but as it happens this is the least used button. All in all i am very happy with this case, and on Amazon for $25 it was a pretty good value.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Cruzin95:
I don't have that problem either, but I agree with the last post. It would be better if the buttons were more defined so that you could find them better by touch.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] wiz4769:
I saw a demo online comparing s voice to google voice search, and of coarse for 95% of the things google won no contest, but I was surprised that s voice could say update twitter and give a message and work, where google could not do this at all yet. Just wondering if they are planning on it being able to do basically everything the other can but better?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] GuestK00450:
You mean Google Now? I believe it comes with every phone/tablet that has JB. If we get JB on the S3 then we will get Google Now, unless they disable it so we become stuck with garbage S Voice.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jasvncnt1:
We already have google now on the s3. Works rather well
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] melonbar123:
I think OP is referring to have more control with Google Now like specific app or hardware controls.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] wiz4769:
Yes this is what I meant. Again if you look online for demos one of them shows that it works well, but still does not have full control or access to all apps and such, it literally gives an error that the feature is not working yet. I can only assume since it gives that actual error that they are planning on it having this ability soon, which makes since.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TBayTom:
That feature doesn't appear to be available on any phone just yet, it just brings up a google search.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] knightblaze:
I dunno, I tried Google now and really didn't find it all that great. I couldn't launch apps or dictate what I want done on the app. s voice has been pretty solid for me.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] blue265:
Judging from the recent i9300 international JB leak, it looks like we will have access to both S-Voice and Google Now. So for those who prefer one over the other, it looks like SGS3 users will be able to use either which is good news. I was hoping that Samsung wouldn't remove Google Now from the JB rom when it comes out and so far looks good
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] wiz4769:
I kinda hope they just put the ability to control apps in Google Now, I would not want to have to swap from one to the other just to ask a question, then swap to the other to launch an app. Might as well just launch it manually if your gonna have to do that each time. S Voice is only better for this one thing, ask it anything that requires it to look on the web for the answer and its slow as hell, Google Now is the best for this now, better than siri, so add in the app control and its the king.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] wiz4769:
I hope with the official JB release coming out soon we will find out for certain if Google Now will have full app controls like s voice.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] gatoraid84:
S voice six because its developed by vlingo who IMO was the worst assistant app... I have the note with paranoid android 4.1.1 and Google now is awesome..until someone ports it to your device I recommend assistant from the Google play market
[HTC Rezound] beleynn:
When I first got my Rezound months and months ago, I found and installed one of the stock, rooted ROMS on this site, and installed it.

Much to my annoyance, Verizon has been trying to push the latest update to my phone, so I came back to get the latest relevant ROM. I found http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1835422 ("stock rooted deodexed 4.03.605.02") and flashed it from Recovery.

The problem is, whenever I try to boot the phone, it gets to the white screen with the green HTC logo, and just sits there. Did I miss a step or something? It's been a long while since I last flashed a ROM, and I'm sure I forgot something...

Thanks.
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
looks like you tried to update to a ICS rom from a stock rom.

are you s-off or dev unlocked?
[HTC Rezound] beleynn:
Dev unlocked.
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
you are going to need to re lock the bootloader and run the ruu.

this will wipe your internal sd card so please back it up

here are the steps:

1. back up rom

2. back up internal sd card

3. fastboot oem lock command

4. download the latest ruu

5. pull the zip out of it and name it PH98IMG.zip

6. place on root of external sd card

7. make sure you have 70% or more on the battery

8. boot into hboot and let it run.

8.1 first pass will be quick and it will ask you to reboot, say yes and grab a beer because the next part will take some time.

9. boot into stock rom

10. dev unlock and all that fun stuff again
[HTC Rezound] beleynn:
Thanks, but a few questions:

first, when I first got the phone and rooted it, S-Off wasn't available at the time (which is why I didn't do it then). Would it be better (and/or easier) to do that instead of dev unlock?

second, how do I "fastboot oem lock"? It's been months since I last flashed a ROM, and, as always, I forgot how to do these things.

Thanks again.
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
s-off is a lot easier. i would recommend it. makes updating easy but you do run the risk of a brick so be careful

to re lock the bootloader you need to plug your phone into the pc.

make sure ADB debuging is on

then CD into your folder with ADB and Fastboot. (for me is C:\android )

then you type " fastboot oem lock"

you will see it say lock on top.

(if you are going to s-off then do not run this command. you need to be dev unlocked for s-off to work)

EDIT:

if you dont have ADB or Fastboot. i have a mini version for you to use. it will have everything needed to do this without having to download the whole android SDK link
[HTC Rezound] beleynn:
I *had* ADB, then I built a new PC, so thanks for the link.

Once I do S-Off, do I still follow the other steps except for 3?
[HTC Rezound] beleynn:
Ok, so I got to step 9 no problem (your ADB/Fastbook download was 1000x easier than downloading the whole damn package from Google).

Can I now just load up the rooted stock ROM I found earlier, or do I have to do the Dev unlock first?
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
If you are s-off you dont need to OEM lock the phone because s-off > dev unlock

so once you are s-off all you need to do is this:

1. download RUU of your choice

2. place on the root of the sd card

3. back up your internal sd because it will be wiped

4. make sure you have 70% battery or better

5. boot into hboot and let hboot take care of the rest.

5.1 first pass of the install will go quickly and ask for a reboot. it will boot back into hboot and continue the install.

6. boot into the stock rom once.

or if you want s-on

1. do the htc dev unlock fun

2. need to load up an engineering hboot to do fastboot commands.

once you have dev unlock then you can do recovery, then load any ICS rom that is meant for our phone. if you wanted to go back to GB you would need s-off so you can downgrade with a GB RUU. (but why would we want to go backwards. :P )

optional

if you want to install a recovery and you want to do it the fastboot way, you will need an engineering hboot which you can get from the s-off site

or

if you find a recovery that is in zip form just let hboot install it for you.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrSmileyJr:
I've got a 9020a on StraightTalk with an ATT sim. I'm in Howell, NJ and I've got MAJOR issues with my data (and I think voice too) dropping and sometimes taking an hour (or reboot/airplane mode toggle) to wake back up. I'm starting to think the problem is with my nexus not specifically with the towers in the area. I'll have 4 bars and then suddenly they'll go grey and that's it, no calls or data working. Also, friends of mine on iPhones with straighttalk don't have such problems. I've read through hundreds of posts on radios and things and I still haven't found a specific answer on how to deal with this.

The other threads I've found kept talking about T-Mobile but I'm using AT&t...

This is what I've tried so far:

I had the ICS passion Rom, switched to Stock JellyBean & and updated the Radio from UCKF1 to UCKJ1. I then updated the ROM to Phandroid Jelly Bean.

I am unsure if my bootloader has been updated to the JellyBean bootloader.

I continue to have these issues throughout all these changes :-/

Anyone can help?

Thanks!! ;)

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dalewest:
Greetings-

I just got an AT&T HOX as part of my job, coming off of a Captivate (SGS1). Lost count of the times I've flashed bootloaders, kernels, and ROMs on the Cappy. Currently running CM10 on it.

Anyway, been poking around these AT&T HOX forums looking for ways of getting to know my new HOX. It appears that I have the dreaded 2.2 version, but since I'm new, I need to be sure before I try hacking up the device. How can I verify, and just where do I look in the About Phone section?

Also, given the newness of my device, is there a place that has good info for a HOX n00b? I would love to get a custom ROM on it, either CM, AOKP, or something other than the preloaded stuff from ATT.

Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] holtr94:
To check the version go into settings -> About -> Software Info. If you see 4.0.4 then you have 2.20. If you see 4.0.3 you most likely have 1.85, as you just got the phone. There is currently no way to root 2.20, but we can root 1.85. Check the development forum for more info.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] danny39:
Settings>About Phone>Software Info

It will either be 1.85.205.3 or 2.20.205.7

If it's 1.85, you can root it and unlock the bootloader, if its 2.20 then you're stuck until beaups can get a root and bootloader unlock working.

Oh and welcome to the HOX Family!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dalewest:
@holtr94 & danny39, thanks for your input. I didn't realize how spoiled I was until I found myself with a phone that I couldn't hack. Almost feels like being stuck with an iPhone again. Only better. :)

I've also looked around for a n00b guide to customizing the HOX, and found the "AT&T/ROGERS One X Resources Compilation Roll-Up" thread here (which is pretty awesome IMHO), but I was wondering if there is a post or thread somewhere that defines the HTC and/or HOX-specific components, like RUUs, what an Evita is, and whatever else that is specific to Android on the HOX. Am I asking too much? Maybe... but it never hurts to ask.

Thanks again.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dalewest:
Oh, and another (admittedly highly subjective) question: who are the Devs and ROMs to watch? CM is always one to watch, but since there apparently isn't any ICS or JB source out yet, I'm wondering what to look for. Again, just so I can quickly catch my bearings here.

Also... how can I verify whether I have the X or the XL? The Settings-> About-> Phone identity lists it as a One X, the ATT wireless page used to order the phone lists it as the One X, but the specs on the page state that it's LTE capable. I got a whopping 22 Mbps download in the Speedtest app... sounds like LTE to me. IIRC, there is a difference in processors, and of course, radios. I need to be sure I'm meddling with the correct stuff when the time comes.

Sorry if I'm rambling... need more caffeine.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
If you have the att model its called the one x but technically its the xl. If you look in about phone it will say dual core processor. The xl uses snapdragon s4 chip. The phone is code name evita which is what it says in the bootloader
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] volwrath:
A friend of mine just updated to ICS on his ET4G. Exchange doesnt work and battery life sucks. I assume I can just Odin EL26 good, boot into CWM, wipe all and Flash Blazer 4.1

Does that seem reasonable?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SpartanVissepo:
Every time I return to gingerbread from ics i use the el29 one click root from shub after odin finishes reboot phone check usb debugging and run the auto root package and install el29 rouge kernel with cwm, wait for the phone to reboot. Boot in to cwm wipe wipe wipe then flash Blazer 4.1, that is the cleanest install procedure in my opinion. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] volwrath:
Thanks for the advice. I was hoping for a quicker and dirtier method, but that wont be too bad. I just need to get him on a rom that will require no support from me and is rock solid, and I know blazer 4.1 is probably the one he needs to go to.

[LG Nitro HD] Sir_Steven:
Hello everyone,

As you can probably tell, I'm a noob. I recently purchased the LG Nitro HD and updated to ICS via LG tool (before I knew I shouldn't have for rooting reasons). Can anyone give me a step by step on how to root this device. I have tried Oneclick and Doom and obviously neither of these methods worked. I know there HAS to be a way to do it. I am aching for stock android on this thing. CM9/CM10 is calling me.

p.s. I'm currently running 4.0.3 and it's super flawed on this phone. SOMEONE PLEASE LEND ME SOME TIME! Also I'm aware that it may be a long process but I'm willing to go all the way for PURE Google. Also go easy on the terms you use to explain...I'm a noob! (iPhone convert).

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Deathstryker:
I had an issue where when my phone shut down (from battery drain) and restarted, my photos would not show in gallery and my custom ringtones disappeared from the selection menu. Reading some of the other forum threads (even on different phones) this seems to be a widespread problem. I've seen a few fixes posted and none of them worked for me. What I found in my particular case is that an app I installed before this issue occurred (Google Maps) seemed to cause this. When I uninstalled and rebooted, all my stuff came back. Funny thing is, when I reinstalled the app, the issue did not seem to reappear.

I don't know the science behind this or that this fix will work for everyone (or that I'm completely sure it was the app that caused this in the first place), I'm just placing it on the table as a possible option. If you had this happen and installed an app before your phone rebooted, you might try uninstalling the app and seeing if the issue is fixed.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] StoneColdCarl:
Or another fix is using Root Explorer and finding .nomedia

Delete that and it'll be all good.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Deathstryker:
I actually saw that fix. Tried it and it, rebooted and it didn't fix it for me.

In any case, it seems that others have found that update to ROM Manager was the culprit. I actually installed this update the day I had the issue so this may have been what triggered the problem (although I didn't have to uninstall it to fix it).
[Samsung Captivate Glide] dudejb:
HI,

I was just wondering is there any way to install ICS with Clockwork mod. I know the current method is to install it is by downloading the exe and running it on your computer. I just like to be able to flash it with Clock Work Mod instead (Feel its safer). For some reason I am scared to flash from the computer. I may just make the plunge but ODIN and exe's via the computer to the USB scares me. I also have the older Clockwork mod installed, the version before the touch interface (if it ain't broke mentality)

My Question is if someone makes a backup via Clock work mod can I then install it myself via Clock work mod or will it give me an error since it was not made via mine and give me a backup mismatch error?

Do I have to use the EXE method to upgrade my phone as I have an older kernel and rom and CWM may not be sufficient to update when a developer comes out with a new modified version. Which is what I am holding out for a nice bloat free ICS with Root. (I know I can do it the long way with the exe then Root via update in CWM and then remove each individual package).

JB
[Samsung Captivate Glide] bobbinthreadbare:
Right now the only way is through the EXE. You'll have to wait for a new ROM to be packaged and released (like a custom one). Installing someone elses backup via CWMR would likely cause problems (pretty sure stuff like device ID or something makes these backups per-device only).

So you can wait for a ROM based on the leaked one to be released, or just install via EXE yourself. Installing via EXE was pretty painless, and then you can upgrade your CWMR to the touch version since you'll have to reflash anyways!

The leaked ROM is indeed bloated with all sorts of AT&T BS but thankfully you can at least disable it (settings -> applications -> all -> select app, disable). I forgot how badly they inflate stock ROMs.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] jayjayjoker2:
Dman is working on a ROM just wait for that
[Samsung Captivate Glide] ItsMeBdon:
If i were you I would just go for it because you dont know how long it will take until the ROM is flashable plus its not that hard to put it on, if you need help i could give you step by step on it.:)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] dudejb:
Well was about to install it when I found out my USB port is buggy.unfortunately it looks like it will have to wait for a cwm version. Sometimes my connection is there other times it is not, I can not take a chance with it like this.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] jayjayjoker2:
Yeah I wouldn't I had a bad usb and and almost bricked
[Samsung Captivate Glide] dudejb:
SO I will wait. Just hope CWM 5.0 will be able to do the flash for an ICS ROM as I never upgraded my CWM to the newer touch interface. I like the 5X interface and quite happy with it so no reason to upgrade. Besides with a flaky USB I don't want to.

Instead of flashing the ROM yesterday which I wanted to and gave up, I modified the External SD card to be internal via the vold.fstab. Works great and Now I can install all those Gameloft games I was avoiding, do to space.

I recommend flashing stock GB firmware instead of ICS, just in case if you have to wipe after flashing (sometimes it won't boot unless you wipe in recovery) and you might be already aware of brick bug on stock ICS kernels.
