How come even on the latest versions of android contact photos are still backed up in such a low resolution? It looks awful that when you either look up a contract or make a call the photo is of such low quality. It's there anyway to keep the contact photos at their original, or better resolution?

Seems like google is using the same low resolution (96x96px) for contact photos from earlier versions. here is something for you,

Quote "if you have rooted your device, you can increase the size of the contact photos to 400x400px (or more). That sounds good in devices with a large screen, like Galaxy Note."

Thought I'd post an update on this. After getting the Note 2 I synced my contacts from Google complete with the low res photos however when I updated the photos they were significantly improved. I realised the photos were still low res because that's what Google had stored up to that point. Now that I've updated most of my contact photos they look tons better.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] yehoshua24:
Got my Galaxy S III about a week ago and I love it but the battery is draining so fast. I've done a lot of standard changes such as shutting off live wall paper, disabling radios, dim screen to lowest setting... and I still can't get 24 hours out of the thing. Last night I let the batter drain to 5%, shut it off and charged it over night. Today here are my stats:

Battery left 52%

Length of Battery Use: 8h 9m

Cell Standby: 31% : Time on 8h 9m : Time without Signal 0%

Screen: 16% : Time On 57m 26s

Maps: 10%

I did a run today for 45 min using both Spotify and Runkeeper which combined only took 11% (very happy with that). But since then the cell stand by is eating eating up the battery life at 31% over 8 hours with no signal loss.

I read a few posts about cell standby reporting wrong on the international version of the S III. Any one else seeing anything similar with Sprint version? BTW this is all 3G, I don't live near any 4G LTE and I did disable the LTE radio just in case.

I really don't want to but I'm considering returning it simply based on the battery life alone. Someone please save me from doing this!

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xboxfanj:
There's no evidence yet, but I don't see why not. The original Note was a bigger success than Samsung anticipated and it'd be even bigger if it was on all four carriers. With the SGSIII, Samsung tried more of a unified launch, so it is feasible that they'd do something similar with the Note. They've got a launch announcement coming soon, so I guess we will see then. It's all up to Sprint.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lurk skywalker:
The earlier version of CM9 I used had an excellent built in dictionary/prediction engine (I can pull which version that was if its useful). The current one I use (9-20120802-NIGHTLY) has a notably inferior dictionary. For example, the verb "is" in pt_BR is "é", while the word "and" is "e". The verb form (é) wasnt even part of the dictionary (it had to be added manually). This is a strong example related to pt_BR, but I feel that the English dict is also inferior.

Has the source for dictionary used in CM9 changed or am I tripping?!

PS: Luckily, the dict in CM9 is still a lot better than the dict that came with CM7. The best one so far, though, was the stock one.

Remember, you can't delete a file that is IN USE, ie; system files. You need to freeze/disable them first THEN delete them! Watch what you delete though, some files are needed, some files that you least suspect, and will cause problems if you delete them.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mikoal:
I'm experiencing something similar.

I have root on stock os but recovered from nandroid.

I can create folders, files, rename, edit text etc on some directories, yet I am unable for others.

I am trying to undrestand if this is because of

1) Nandroid backup

2) files are in use and I cannot edit or create folders in those directories?

I am trying to create folders and edit files in the /sys directory.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] FineTalent:
Are you using the 'Root Explorer' app to do this? If not, I suggest you get that from the Play store first. Secondly, make sure the "root privileges" are enabled in Superuser for the app.

If you have already done what I mentioned and still occur problems, may I ask what folders in the 'sys directory' you are trying to change? As majority of the files/folders you are seeing in that folder are there for a reason and named accordingly for your phone to utilize that directory and keep the phone working.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mikoal:
I am using root explorer app.

I have root privileges as well. The phone is rooted and permission is granted to RE

i was trying to change or create a new folder for the CPU states because my cpu spy wasn't reading any cpu states (which is another problem im facing).

1) With root privileges am I suppose to be able to create folders in any directory? I seem to be able to create/rename/edit files only in some directories. I seem to have the option to mount as r/o and r/w only on certain folders. The other folders defaulted to mount as r/w. I've also changed permission on the folders as well.

2) Why can't my BBS and CPU Spy read my cpu states, but can only read it when i enter in with my SetCPU app?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] FineTalent:
Unless you know the exact name and which sub-directory to place the folders to link with the apps you have mentioned, I suggest you do not add or modify anything.

The apps such as CPU Spy utilizes your phones kernel to determine what your usage is. What kernel are you using for your phone? Maybe flashing a new one would help.

I'll look in to the issue more and post any other solutions if I find any. Good luck!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mikoal:
1) I understand that its not too safe to mess around anyhting in that directory. But.....can regular rooted users with RE edit that folder? If so, its a problem I'm experiencing. If not, then probably because that folder is in use. When I enter /sys, its mounted as r/w but there is no option for me to change it to r/o.

2) Everything is stock. I understand that CPUSpy may not work on certain custom roms, but what about stock?

Kernel version:

3.0.8-20120814-user

dpi@DELL149#1

SMP PREEMPT Tue Aug 14 10:16:58 KST 2012

Thanks again
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mikoal:
1) i think i figured it out. i dont think we have access to the /sys directory. its for kernels.

2) but i still dont know why the cpuspy isn't working
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] FineTalent:
The app may not be compatible with a stock ROM/kernel. Hopefully someone else on a stock ROM can help you confirm that. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mikoal:
That's a possibility.

However do you know why or how I can get cpu spy to work after I use set cpu?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] FineTalent:
I've never needed to use CPU Spy as SetCPU is more than enough, so I apologize if for not being able to answer that question. It just seems like a compatibility issue with what you are currently using, nothing for you to be worried about. :)

[HTC One S] PUTALE:
I was able to get the promotion on T mobile for a free One S (they do this quite often lately) on their website. However, the promotion requires signing up for 2 years contract with the Classic plan. I am curious can I sign up on the plan first and then call T Mo to have them switched to the Value Plan and still keep my phone? Would I be charged for anything at all (possibly the early termination fee) but other than that would I be any additional fee?
[HTC One S] bwilliams1:
Generally to go from classic to value, they have whats called a migration fee. not sure what the cost is. the migration fee is almost a etf but not quite, I've done what you are proposing and kept my one s.
[HTC One S] s10shane:
i have the Classic 1000 Minute plan. if i changed to the value plan. it will cost me 200 per line. so thats probably what u will have to pay to change to the value plan from classic.
[HTC One S] suhailtheboss:
I work for tmo. It's a 200 dollar migration fee to move to a value plan for any line that is still under contract and not within 6 months of being out of contract. Once you are within 6mo's of your contract end date, there is no migration fee.

(currently it's based off of contract end date, but on august 21st it switches to last discounted device, which makes much more sense....fee's and tenure requirements to move over stay the same)

If people could get a free device on a class plan, then jump to value, tmo would go out of business faster than it already is! :P
[HTC One S] PUTALE:
thanks for all of the feedback then. I called and check with one of the guys there and they said that if I pay for 200 migration fee, then get to keep the phone. I am curius if anyone has actually done this by first sign up a contract with a free phone and then migration to a value plan without the need to return the phone and/or being charged the price of the phone.

I am fully aware of the 200 migration fee but I have done my math correctly that if I switch to value plan and over the 2 year period, I will actually ended up saving some bucks.

Anyone can put some inputs
[HTC One S] illmatic.:
Unlimited Talk/Text/2GB Data Classic - 79.99

Unlimited Talk/Text/2GB Data Value - 59.99

You'll save $80 within your 24 month contract if you switch to Value right now but if you waited 18 more months you can switch without any migration fees. It wouldn't make much sense if you did it right now, unless you want your monthly bill to be lower right away. Migration fees also go down after a certain amount of time.
