[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] FrameCityJackal:
I see it as this you have at least another month before the new nexus devices are announced you can hold out since your upgrade isn't till the end of August any way. See what google has to offer and hope motorola is making the new nexus device which would make sense since they pretty much made the new photon and the atrix HD look kinda crappy in comparison to their OG models.

I've been considering about getting the next nexus and dropping skinned phones all together but it always seems to me the nexus line is always inferior in some hardware specs. Not saying they suck but some of the specs don't make me at least say hey I'm gonna drop my 4.8 sexy for a 4.6 with .03 or so space for nav buttons and no external and possibly no removable battery.

Weigh your options in tech you'll always be disappointed in some aspect or another
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] QWIKSTRIKE:
I have a Photon, and a GS III and I am not getting what you are getting reception wise. The signal even in my house which is a bad reception area is acceptable. The signal and -dbm are usually with in 1 point and most times on par.... or the same. I can say based on my unit Don't look back. I still am always checking reception with both side by side!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gpgorbosjr:
Hardware wise I don't think there is much of a comparison between the two phones. I do agree that Samsung's radios suck though, and Sprint's network doesn't make it much better. On my E4GT I used to get data roaming ALLLL the time. Not on my S3 but I still get 1X in places that should easily be 3G. For example, I go to the local Applebees a lot and when I'm sitting at the bar I get 1X even though every other carrier gets 3G in that same area smh.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] QWIKSTRIKE:
Do like I did.....buy, and try it. But, hold on to the Photon and check how they both receive signal side by side in areas that you know signal reception is weak. I ditched my photon after the 2 day test. I am still holding on to it also....the Photon that is...The GS III blows the Photon away, and this is coming from someone that has a high tech review, built a 750 rwhp Supra, and high speed computer rigs to trade \securities and game.

---------- Post added at 08:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:26 AM ----------

That's a tower issue I bet....for me this phone is very close to the Photon. This is not a touchy euphoric feeling either. I still have my Photon to tesrt signal reception side by side. Robert from S4GRU did a comparison test and said that the SGIII is very strong signal wise. He is a one of the administrator signal tech's on the forum also. I didn't need him to tell me this since I have a Photon to test reception against. He took various phones including the Photon and did a signal and -dbm test in strong and weak reception areas with 4-5 phones from Sprint side by side that was donated by members for the test.

I believe those having issues with reception may be having network vision upgrades that are affecting signal like I have from time to time here in NY. I have received 1.9 mbs downloads from time to time.....it's only a matter of time that LTE goes live here in NYC. Even when LTE goes live all towers are not going to be completely functional until 2014.

Thanks everyone for the input :good:. Guess I'll be getting the SGSIII at the end of this month or the beginning of next. Woot! :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Teczeus:
My friends tell me my call quality had gone down since I got the sg3...but I love everything about the sg3 better except the fact it is not world phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RPerry435:
Motorola is notorious for sucking bawls. The photon was a joke. I've owned 20 different phones since I joined sprint in 01. Buy the S3 try it out if you don't like it after a few weeks get a different phone..we all know how technology and big business works something better is already coming. For me nothing compares to this device at the moment.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] suavethekid:
After working for sprint for the last couple years (I dont anymore) heres my 2 cents.

Photon has amazing signal really good call quality and noticeably better that really any other sprint phone. But the software is very finicky and restarts/ freezes are common

Personally I love my gs3 put blazer rom on there and battery and speed are amazing
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CCallahan:
Just upgraded from the Photon (which I got right when it came out) to the SGS3. Photon was a solid phone. Battery life ok, great build quality and radio, etc. However, using the SGS3 for a few days now and it does top the Photon in so many ways. Especially with respect to official updates, development, and accessories. Don't feel like the red-headed step child anymore and don't regret getting this device.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bonebeatz1234:
Well if signal strength is what you looking for its not gonna matter what phone you have until Sprint get there **** together period. From what i seen from my friend for years Sprint network has been slow very slow i gave up on having internet if it's not wifi .Why waste your time with there 3g/1g whatever they call it. After this contact is up I'm going back to T-Mobile or Verizon even if lte is up and running . Sometimes having a cool phone isn't as cool as having one that works feels like i have a wifi tablet sometimes .
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] QWIKSTRIKE:
Stop trolling man if you are dissatisfied leave....not everyone is having your issues not to mention network vision is coming live in most places causing service interruptions....not to mention this thread is about how the phone antenna signal performs.

[Android Themes] amus1c:
OK...I waited my 10 post so I can start posting in this side of Forum..

I wanna learn some theme developing for Android but using mainly programs such as Go Theme Launcher or similar.

I got some stuff done but I am having problem installing Android Simulator.

I need simulator so I can test themes that I am about to make.. I have to start small first...

To backtrack a little, I have Mac (Mountain Lion OSX) but my Eclipse is not working so can't run a simulator that way.

I also, have Parallels installed with Windows 7 on it, but that one opens Eclipse fine but cannot launch simulator as it shows me weird error about "Failed to parse properties from \psf\Home...etc". I have attached screenshot off the error as well...

Anyone has any info about any of the above so it can help.

If not, would it be fine for me to post installation for theme that I made so it can be tested...:)

Any kind of help would be helpful as I am out off my mind on this one....

I guess not a lot of Mac folks here...ha ha ha..don't blame ya....

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmwang:
Hi,

After a chain of stupid flash attempts to get ice cream sandwich working, I've completely bricked my tab. It seems P1000 ROM does not work with P1000R Rogers version tabs. Anyhow, I flashed back to stock Gingerbread but now I don't see PHONE ICON anywhere. It's completely gone. Phone recognizes SIM card inserted and shows all information related to SIM - my phone number & carrier name - in the (About Tablet > Status) panel.

In the 'About Tablet' window, it shows

Model number

GT-P1000R

Firmware version

2.3.3

Baseband version

P1000XXJPZ << looks like something's missing after or before here

Kernel version

2.6.35.7

se.infra@sep-36 #2

Build number

GINGERBREAD.UXKG1

I've used Odin 3 and Clockwork Mod Recovery and tried Ice Cream Sandwich ROM linked here and MIUI ROM as well - Nothing was successful with my tab. I think I've flashed modem firmware (modem.bin) by clicking the 'Phone' button on the Odin 3 without knowing what it does. :(

Any help will be appreciated.

*** If you have a shop and if you can fix this problem, or if you know such shops, please let me know.

Sorry for my short answer but I recommend you to try (if you have adb drivers working) z4root or superoneclick.

The root process in Android is not as difficult as it seems. Just use a exploit to adb push files and change to rw system.

I'm having the same problem. I've rooted many Android devices. Yes USB debugging is enabled. Yes I can get adb access to the phone with a user level shell prompt. Yes it shows up in device manager as an Android Composite ADB interface. Yes I've added the PID and VID to android_winusb.inf.

Superoneclick gets stuck at step 7.

This phone seems like a decent phone for my wife (as a replacement for her stolen Samsung Galaxy S 4G), but it's LOADED with bloatware. I really need to figure out how to root this thing.

After that mount error I adb shelled in tried su for the heck of it and got permission denied. Also confirmed normal user can run mount. Checked df and /system is 370M, but only has 7M free. I wonder if that's the problem? How much space is needed for the zergrush method? Obviously I can't remove anything from /system if that is the problem. Also the df output is standard unix output so doesn't look like his bat file does very good error checking or does something odd.

Picked a 3D up on CL, clean ESN, $50, I couldn't pass it up. In great shape, so I'm a couple weeks into this, read, read, read, and managed to get the wire trick to work on 1.58 so I'm S-Off. Now what?

I guess my main question is, I'm reading S-off trumps all, but how exactly does your HBOOT version affect what ROMs you can load? Is it tied to Kernel basically? Or the base the ROM works on?

This hasn't been so clear in my search education.

I'm running Trib's SolidROM ver 2.1, at the moment (which is stellar), but I'm a flashaholic in need of a fix every few days... and there are so many options, but I can't seem to see the forest for the trees...

Thanks in advance. This place rocks.
[HTC EVO 3D] spirithandler:
Well there are very few rom's that are compatible with the 1.58 hboot so if your a flashoholic then you better off going to hboot 1.40 since with 1.40 hboot you can run both ICS & GB. GB has better compatibility in fact it can only play the 3d games and older gameloft games.

If you downgrade to a lower hboot please let me know how it went because I am thinking of upgrading to 1.58 to try out a new rom but I am afraid to because I am already s-off hboot 1.4.
[HTC EVO 3D] spaceosc:
90% sure of the following information.

Roms that are based directly on the Sprint ICS OTA require 1.58, some roms have used some tricks to let it run on 1.50 like SolidROM did.

1.58 for you means u can flash any ROM and not bootloop.

S-OFF means u can flash a rom FULLY, some of these ROMS have custom Kernels, and without flashing the kernel u get bootloops. u can also add your own Kernel.

so in conclusion your in good shape. u can flash Gingerbread- VM ICS - sprint ICS.

just be sure to stay away from changing your HBOOT, especially any VM firmware!
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
Hboot 1.58: Can load the new ICS kernel and all sense ICS ROMs. Cannot load AOSP and GB ROMs.

Hboot 1.4 (and others): Can load most ROMs (sense with vm leak kernel, GB, AOSP). Cannot load the new ICS kernel (or any ROM with that).
[HTC EVO 3D] cc2278:
hboot 1.5 s-off

How can I go back to my original hboot 1.5 s-off, the other day I flashed MeanROM ICS v2.6 and upgrade my hboot to 1.58, for the 2.89 kernel

I also try out SOS M | VER 2.6, and ZR3DX-Sense 3.6, wifi teather will not work on none of those roms, any one know how to get the teathering working. I'm thinking of going back to hboot 1.5 s-off any one know how to go back to 1.5 s-off.
[HTC EVO 3D] plaidcounty:
Go to juopunutbear website and download hboot for GB. Rename to PG86IMG.zip and place at root of SD card. boot to boot loader. Select yes and then reboot. Don't forget to delete from SD card root!

[HTC EVO 3D] rkem:
Thanks! This worked great. My research had me thinking the only way to do this was a ridiculously complex 15 step process.

I did the OTA update to ICS and hboot 1.58 and was trying to flash to PagePlus but ran into problems doing "APN Backup and Restore"; it's not allowed on ICS, I tried to go back to a gingerbread ROM but it kept bootlooping because I had hboot 1.58. Your advice got me back to hboot 1.50, then I installed an old cyanogenmod ROM, so I can do the APN backup.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RBarnett09:
Hey guys.

So I went to work today and while I was on break, my phone acted up a couple of times. Once, the mobile internet cut itself off and I had to restart my phone to get it to turn back on.

Then when I get off of work, my phone isn't reading my SD card.

I tried unmounting and then mounting it back several times, but no luck getting anything.

So then I hooked it into a card reader on my computer and all the files show up, then suddenly the computer got an error saying that the driver wasn't recognized and then stopped reading it.

What is the problem and how can this be fixed?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RBarnett09:
I can even open Root Browser app and it shows all the files on my SD card. All pictures, music, videos, etc.

But for some reason when I go to gallery, music, or whatever else... it won't pull up. O_o
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donnyp1:
Back it up to pc if u can then reformat it to fat32
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RBarnett09:

I'm guessing the card may be going bad?

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RBarnett09:
Just tried doing this, and surprisingly, yes. So I got it all copying to the computer now.

It just doesn't make sense to me that it can mount like this and my files still be on the card and not read when I go to pull them up. Especially when I go to Root Browser and I can see all the files.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RBarnett09:
So I copied all files to my computer, formatted the SD card again, put all files back onto the SD, and still have the same problem.

Note that my phone is reading the SD in Root Browser; however, when I go to my gallery, music, videos, etc.. my phone tells me that there are none and acts as if the SD card is empty. I even go to SD and Storage and it says my card is empty, but it's not.

The thing is... I haven't downloaded or changed anything at all with my phone in over 2 weeks. Either it tripped out or something happened to where a setting changed while it was in my back pocket.

I had a feeling it was probably a setting issue that happened, so I got the idea to restore from a backup to get back original settings and BAM!
