[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nookierookie:
I have the N7 and the SGS3; the native bluetooth tethering is awesome and low on battery for both devices -- used when I'm away from wifi. My phone stays in my pocket or bag, when I'm on the bus, since I can tablet-text and interweb connect via bt. I use an app that auto-activates the bluetooth tethering service when the SGS3 boots. I don't ever have to touch the phone to tether with the N7, since it only needs the tablet side to connect.

Also, the screen size of the N7 is, at least for my purposes, far superior to a 10 inch screen, which is just awkward if I'm lying in bed reading. It is proper book-sized. Not iPad-ish posterboard awkward side-reading size.

Since I'm working on my dissertation for a doctorate in English lit (I know, snooze), I use Evernote and Drive/Docs to sync between all of my devices so that I can revise on the fly. The N7 is much better for significant revisions in Google Drive, especially since a slim bt keyboard lives in my school bag all the time.

But Grindr is creepy, with the thumbnails scaled up for the N7 screen size.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tomaslxix:
A ton of good replies here, both for and against. I think I'm going to pull the trigger on the N7 though. In addition to all the opinions that there are plenty of things the Nexus handles better, I saw someone reading on one the other day and it just looked like the perfect size to cart around.

Thanks for all the input, feel free to keep them coming, I'm sure someone else will be put ask themselves the same question somewhere along the way and I'll definitely give my opinion once I'm juggling both devices. :D

I sold my nexus 7. Didn't really fit too well into my life, i mean the form factor is a bit weird for someone that owns a big phone like the gs iii. I just use the my gs iii for a lot of my browsing since its big enough and the nexus 7 isnt even that much bigger. I just use the gs iii and switch to my ipad if i feel like going all out tablet, the increased size is worth it with the ipad, but not with the n7.

Plus i really wasnt too impressed with the screen on the n7, its was extremely washed out and crappy. but hey for 200$ i guess you get what you pay for right?

Sticking to the gsiii/ipad 3 combo for now. :good:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DUBVGALAXY:
I'm not gonna spend the time to read all the other replies but i would highly recommend the note 10.1. Its amazing and compliments the s3 perfect IMO. It's exactly what a tablet should be. Has more functionality than any device I've ever owned. It makes me love my s3 even more. And saves me a lot of battery on my phone because I can do so much on my tablet. Awesome awesome combo.

Hey guys new here, just wanted to share something I learned from a different forum, searched XDA but couldn't find so here goes:

When you call and get an answering machine and it says press 1 to...... press 2 to....... and I open my keypad press the number, but it doesn't register and I end up using another phone, well if you long press the key it works.

I hope my post is worthy of staying up, I have some great ideas, and cant wait to help move forward modding the i9210T but can't post there yet :(

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crashngo:
First of all, I know I am in the general section when I should be posting in the thread of the current rom I am running. But the forum will not let me, it says I have an insufficient post count to post in a development section which is where thread is located. (I think this is a pretty stupid rule, especially when a person like me who lurks these forums and uses it to find roms to use, and when that lurker needs to find help they cannot post in the appropriate section ; end rant).

Anyway, onto the boot loop problem. My current phone setup is : ParanoidAndroid 1.9.7 for the ROM and Trinity kerenl with 1344Ghz cpu clock and 304Ghz gpu clock.

What is happening is a boot loop at the Google screen. The first time this happened, my on screen navigation keys disappeared and when I tried to reboot my phone it boot looped. To fix it i had to do a clean install (I still have access to recovery when this happens). That was about 4 or 5 days ago, and I was fine up until now. This time the navigation keys didn't disappear, it was just a normal reboot that I did because when i plugged my phone in for the night it didn't display that it was charging, this is a normal thing for me and all it takes is a reboot and it will display charging status. Except this time when I went to reboot it, it boot looped at the Google screen again. I heard that a dirty flash of the rom may help, but I am not sure about this, and I don't want to screw my phone up anymore than it is, other than that I am pretty stuck as far what to do to fix the problem goes.

If more information is needed or if my explanation is unclear just post.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rotary Heart:
Why don't you try with 1.99 version? Also theres a fix for 1.9.7 did you installed it?

EDIT:

Also what GN are you using GSM?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crashngo:
I was actually downloading 1.99 as I was typing that, and I was not aware of a fix for 1.97. What was the fix exactly? If it was for a boot loop problem I will feel like a total moron and sorry for wasting everyone's time.

Its CDMA.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rotary Heart:
Well I have GSM so I don't know if they are keeping it up the same but try the 1.99 with wipe and everything, report back when you are done. I don't remember what the fix do, but there is one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crashngo:
There is a 1.99 for CDMA so I am going to flash that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crashngo:
Well I flashed 1.99, only time will tell how it does.

Also I noticed your screen name, do you drive a rx-7 or rx-8?

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] zenithz:
Recently I've been so sick of GoSMS with its constant spamming messages and bloated features. It feels so clunky on phone so I'm desperate to search for an alternative that can work well on Softbank (the only reason I stayed with it is because it supports emoji and user agent string).

So I found this version of Mms.apk (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1741152) that supports emoji and decided to modify the agent string to iPhone. The maximum image size allowed is 1024x768, and it seems to work well enough for me. I've heard bigger sizes may cause some problems.

I take no credit in this since the original file is Mms.apk, the procedure to decompile and compile, sign APK is posted all around the net.

This version only works on JB.

Has this been able to receive MMS fine?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Nekojitajp:
Mms are working, but I receive blank messages if the sender is a gmail adress (html mail is not working then i guess?) any solution? (i have a galaxy s3)
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Kremlin987:
zenithz, Thanks for making an emoji JB Mms.apk available. I've been looking around for one from Jellybean to port over to Softbank but you've already done it! I have a version done for ICS in my signature, if anyone finds that helpful.

Nekojitajp, having done a little bit of google searching, I believe the lack of HTML support is not a problem with the MMS apps; I think that the softbank MMS gateway strips HTML from incoming messages. If people want to send HTML messages to you, they need to use either a PC email address, or send it to an i.softbank.jp address, which does not strip HTML (and in fact functions identically to a PC email address, using IMAP).

I’m trying to get S’mail set up for my S3 but nothing has worked so far. I’ve tried everything on this form and then some but I get nothing. I can receive messages but I cannot send.

I have jelly bean installed and rooted. I have the black sim card and I’m using smile.world APN.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] xxproblemzxx:
Hey, I have the cm10 custom MMS with quick reply and all the other jazz but the only thing that kinda annoys me is that they changed the emoji icons and I seem to have trouble receiving emojis. If I provide you with my MMS.apk would you be able to add your mods to it, or tell me how lol? Thanks
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] zenithz:
You can receive message but you cannot send? It seems more like your APN setting has some problems. If your MMS agent is incorrect, you can't even receive the message. I don't have an S3 so I can't tell much. Did you try GoSMS for once to see if it works? You can set MMS agent with GoSMS.

What do you mean to have trouble receiving emojis? If the icons are not what you want, you can unpack the APK and replace the icons as you'd please. You have to compile with appropriate framework, and I'm not on CM10 so I can't help you in this
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] mcclickclack:

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] zenithz:
SMS has nothing to do with this. You have to check the SMS center number to make sure it works. Also, if you send an SMS to a number outside softbank, it's not guaranteed to work
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] mcclickclack:
Ok thanks. there might be something wrong with the sim card itself. I put it back in my iphone and now that wont send sms messages. I'm going to see if they can replace my sim
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] zenithz:
The SMS center number is stored in the simcard, changing phone won't help.

Check yours with *#*#4635#*#*, phone information. You'll find the section about the gateway. Be careful not to click Update.

Click Refresh instead to check the current value. Soft bank's one should be

0791180966153900, it's PDU format. If the value is different, update it. If it still doesn't work then you should contact Softbank.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] mcclickclack:
i was able to get everything working. I changed the service center address on my iphone to +819066519300. When i installed the sim card back into my S3 everything worked fine.

Can anyone build a 4.2.1 version of this, or point me towards how I can do it myself?

The proxy information is all there, but I need to change the user agent for Mms.apk to one of the user agents Softbank accepts. My understanding is I can pull Mms.apk using ADB, use apktool to pull it apart and edit mms_config.xml (or whatever it was called) to change the agent, but I have no idea how to repack it.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Kremlin987:
I've built one for 4.1.2 but not yet for 4.2. It's pretty eat to do UT yourself, though. As you said, you'll need to use Apktool, and edit the mms_config.xml file. After that you use apktool to repack the file, sign and zipalign it. You'll need the Android sdk. Check out my other posts for more info. Here and here.

Instructions how to ROOT Official Bell Android 4.0.4 firmware version v20e​

Original thread

0. Extract P930_v20e_ROOT folder from attached file to C: drive

1. Flash v20e firmware (you can use official tool or UpTestEX_mod2_marwin.exe method)

2. Turn on USB debugging and Unknown Sources

3. Install LG_SystemBackupTest.apk and start it

4.

Wthout touching anything

press&hold power button and reboot, after reboot your phone must lags (you can see it by unlock in lockscreen)

5. Connect phone to PC and start root_P880.bat

6. Wait until phone reboots several times.

7. If you get root, you can delete SystemBackupTest app that you have installed on 3d step, because phone will lag with it

You can only install CWM when coming from a Gingerbread official ROM. Meaning you have to follow unbricking instructions to downgrade to an official Gingerbread ROM, then flash CWM using that. Currently there is no CWM-flashable version of Bell's ICS though, but one will probably pop up soon.

hi and help please

5. Connect phone to PC and start root_P880.bat for this do i use mass storage or the LG software?

the cell reboots twice and then the command prompt window closes

i need help

thank you

i'll keep y original post just to show that when you get this issue

just try agin and again and again (from run the app and reboot part)

cheers to you for finding and posting this method
[LG Nitro HD] Warrimonk:
Once you do this method is it possible to unroot without going through the unbricking guide and reflashing the ROM?

I have soft-bricked my phone by trying to install a different kernel and ROM on my Pro Duos B5512.

Flashing only the kernel in the thread by championswimmer didn’t work because of a md5 mismatch.

This guide should also work with other samsung models if you find the right firmware (search on http://www.mod2xtreme.com/ or http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1656825)

All credits go to manoranjan2050 for his great work in uploading the firmware for all the samsung galaxy y devices!

Go here to find the firmware package for the y pro duos

http://www.mod2xtreme.com/showthread...-Firmware-List

There I downloaded the latest firmware for Europe. Using Odin3 v1.85 I flashed successful and my phone is back up and running!

Here is a step by step:

1. Download and install KIES by Samsung (Odin needs these drivers to work)

2. Download odin3 1.85 (search on xda)

3. Download a firmware pack on mod2extreme

4. Open Odin and put the phone into download mode (volume down+Home+power, then select volume up to enter download mode)

5. Wait for your computer the finish the automatic driver program and your computer should recognize your phone

6. Now select the following files in ODIN (make shure auto reboot and F. reset time is selected)

-> PIT is the .pit file in the firmware map, the box in ODIN to Re-partition should be automatically checked now (if there isn't a pit file then this remains empty)

-> BOOTLOADER, select the file which has BOOT in the file name

-> PDA, select the file which contains PDA in the file name

-> PHONE, select here the file which has MODEM in the file name

-> CSC, select the file which has CSC in the file name

Info:For Save Use Do Not Use Boot loader and pit file. Do this only if everything else failed!

When everything is set-up click start and keep your fingers crossed! When everything goes according to plan your phone should restart, copy some files to system and the reboot again. Your phone is back to life! (boot could take 2-3 min)

Hope you fix your phone!

Here is a screen of ODIN when everything is finished:
