My gallery doesn't sync with picasaweb. I've read all pages and someone mentioned that this is because the version of gapps. I'm using the one that is linked officially in CM, what's the version I should use?
[Nexus S General] vetvito:
I think its actually a problem with Google Now. I haven't seen the weather in my notification shade in a long time, even on stock.

One other thing is, we may have too many cards and the weather card is near the bottom.

[Nexus S General] vetvito:
Edit

Yeah that's the problem. Swipe away the other cards until weather is the top card.

I just wish it looked more like SMS pop up.

I am really temped to replace my iPhone with this phone. I'm just afraid I'll regret all of the sync able stuff, the iMessage, FaceTime, and the complete stable iOS platform. Any advice?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xjreyes:
with facetime, imessage is all apple only crap. you'll just have to get them to download tango so their apple software can be compatible with everyone else

You get 2 weeks to return the phone so why not give it a try

I have a guy on Craigslist that wants to trade his lte for my iPhone. So there'd be no turning back. That's why I'm asking.

do it. my brother has a iphone 4s . he stares hard at my lte. lol
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xjreyes:
does the iphone have google talk?

I'm pretty sure it does, I know BlackBerry has it lol
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rxpert:
iOS is not more stable than android. That's a huge myth. There have been studies that have been dine that show iOS crashes more than android. The difference is android actually tells you when it crashes so you can find a solution. Apple tries to hide it from the user.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] arozer:
I've used both iOS and Android for a really long time.

I gave my iPhone 4S to my dad who barely speaks English because it's sooo basic. It's like a kids toys which is limited to the max. I never felt like I had a "machine" to play with. I felt like I had a flip phone which was only good for talking and texting. Even the web is very limited.

I'm not being biased. I really felt limited with the iPhone. (If you look at my Avi hard enough, you'll see the pic is taken with iPhone.)

The only things I miss about the iphone:

-Good front camera (the colors were better)

-imessage. (although there are 3rd party solutions, and group texting solutions, it was just easier)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] michael.stollaire:
All of these features and more are available in the LTEVO, and the LTEVO does it better... FAR better.

I'm not biased. If the iPhone was the best, I would own it, but it is not (given that the iPhone 5 is on the near horizon).

My wife owns the 4s, and it's more of a mobile problem, than a mobile solution, and my benchmark tests 1:1 show the LTEVO as the clear winner.

My cousin got a 4S, hated it, and got an S3 (similar to the EVO) and loves it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] butterbuns:
I have a LTE and my wife has a 4s. I can't stand the apple and hate having anything to do with it. Tried to talk her into a LTE but it was too big for her lol. She came from a iPhone 4.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] `Ghost`:
just dont rip anyone off in the process, duke
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] blizzard1017:
I went from the EVO to the 3d to the 4s and literally waited around for the LTE to come out not liking the 4s.

Essentially it comes down to what you like. As nonbiased as these guys/girls want to act they really aren't. No disrespect btw, you'll see my point in a sec.

You came to the LTE forum asking if you should change and why.....now go to the apple forum and ask this and see their "nonbiased" answers. Most of my friends have and love iPhones but they are also not tech junkies, I am. I liked the freedom Android gave me and missed it so I came back. I also liked the OS platform in Android and again the freedom to customize it at will to my specific taste. My Android doesn't look like anyone elses and theirs doesn't loom like anyone else's either. Apple you get different wallpaper lol.

Also, "jailbreaking" is very glitchy IMHO and way more trouble then what you really unlock. Android rooting actually gives you almost unlimited potential to the phone and a rooted Android phone with stock os IMHO is more stable then a jailbroken iPhone. It's also not reliant on a pc or program to reset or do stuff with. I've updated my Rom and stuff on my phone a ton of times and I can't remember the last time I hooked it into my pc. Freedom.

Notice I am saying Android and not LTE btw, just my opinion and experience. It just boils down to what you want to do with the phone. They both essentially do the exact same things. Same apps same calls same text ect...

For the record I still have my 4s, use it as a back up some times. I did like group messaging and the battery but I jailbroke it and battery sucked. Known issue. Plus these devs have gotten these roms to far surpass the iPhone battery no exaggeration.

Thanks guy. Suppose to be meeting up with him today, I'll let you all know if I decide to switch.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] skantman69:
I dumped my 4s 3 weeks ago and am very glad with my decision. I got bored as hell with the iPhone very quick after years on android. Couldn't stay away for long. Customizing android is like crack, you just can't stay away for very long.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
So did you make the trade?

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] `Ghost`:
LOL dan. hahahahha you turned out okay, yes? :good:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
Hahaha yeah, I guess I did.

Craigslist is more dangerous than XDA though... :p
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] noesilva:
This guy hasn't even payed the rest of the money 150 I believe, to the guy he bought off of in the marketplace
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Duke4eva:
Sorry for not updating, haha im fine, I met with the guy. There were loads of scratches he forgot to mention, so I decided not too. Still looking though. I did pay that 150$, he just likes to get his friends and lie about it, because it was like a week and a half late. So I just deal through Craigslist now because they all ganged up on me and left me defenseless.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] `Ghost`:
duke4eva youve had problems with MANY sells and trades here on XDA
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Duke4eva:
Nope?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] klbjr:
Best advivlce would be wait till the 5 drops then make a decision. Yes this phone may be marginally better than your current iPhone but I would wait & see what the 5 offers.

I have to agree. Every time I have picked up an iPhone I have been immediately bored.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
If you check YouTube for android vs iOS, there is a guy who did a really thorough 6 part comparison that REALLY goes into all aspects of both OSs. It's fun to watch. His eventual conclusion is android wins but he debunks a lot of myths along the way. Again, it's a fun watch.

Apple iPhone4s= a device with a permanent operating system,making it a pure mobile device

HTC EVO 4g lte = a computer ready to accept a wide variety of operating systems

When I buy a new computer the first thing I do is format it and install a fresh non bloated version. Basically the same thing I do with android and I enjoy that factor
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Duke4eva:
Ended up trading for a SGS3. At least I am in the morning if the guy doesn't back out. Driving 30 minutes to meet him.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] captainirmak:
Dear Geeks,

I need your urgent help/advice. i'm three weeks far to my wedding and have a lot of troubles to handle, of course i need this phone.

let me describe the matter i have.

My nexus s is not booting, not starting, nothing.

what i did?

Last night, power button stopped working. I have experienced this 4-5 months ago. I don't know why, the problem has been solved by itself after few days later. i did nothing at those days. the power button came back. (as to my opinion, this is happening due to software problem) Anyway, i have used the market and installed ''fix power button'' application to use volume buttons for opening the screen.

I slept and when i woke up, i saw that phone needs to be charged but i waited. there was %11 something. i tried to handle the power button, pressed many times on it, thought that it may come back again same as 4-5 months ago it happened.

I removed battery and replaced again. i tried this many times. removed, replaced, used the usb cable via AC charger and phone started but there was no result. power button still was not working.

i thought that if the battery runs out, and then, when i charge the phone, maybe this matter may be solved. (ok this was stupid idea)

phone started to charge. when i plug the usb cable, phone was booting and displaying the google and animation and later it was ok to use.

meanwhile i keep on removing battery and replacing battery while the usb cable connected. but when phone starts to boot, i removed battery and replaced again. phone was ok, it was booting. few times it was booting.

but baaaam.

it is now not starting not booting, nothing.

now, when i replace the battery, phone is getting hot, especially sim-card area. i m removing the battery and connecting the usb. same again phone is getting hot, same sim-card area again.

i have waited enough not to connect the battery or usb charging cable. but no result.

what can i do now? what are your opinions?

my opinions/guess:

-i am using 3500 mah lithium polymere battery. maybe the battery died. i m using that battery more than 1 year, around 15 months. i dont turn off wi-fi so i m charging phone everyday.

- phone crashed during booting. and now the phone is totally brick.(i dont wanna believe this, this phone can be usable, believe me i feel it :) i think whatever happens, this phone can be usable via software installing or rooting... of course if you dont throw it towards a wall etc.)

by the way, my phone was not rooted. no time to root these days. and of course the phone was not starting.

what is your idea? what happened phone? what should i do?

if you reply, i will be appreciated.

A big advice for people reading this, dont remove the battery when your phone is booting.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] captainirmak:
dude, unfortunately those solutions not working on my device.

when i connect charger and i replace the battery, within seconds phone boots itself without power button. it should be this way. removing and replacing the battery helped me to start to boot.

i sense this case a bit different from that solutions.

i need to try with a different battery. my wife has nexus s also. she is very lucky she has no problems i have experienced so far. i will try with her battery.

i think there is a matter with mainboard.

by the way i forgot to say that i dropped my phone last evening. just after then phone was acting that i'm pressing long onto power button. and power button finally stopped working when i remove the battery.

i think this is happened because of dropping the phone from my belly high.

but the last thing i have done which removing the battery while the phone is booting, i wish, i should not have done. i could use it without the power button.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacob66:
If you have not rooted your device, you should have you warranty, right? Take the phone back to the carrier, and tell them about your problem. o.o Sorry, I'm of no help, but you're in a horrible situation. Wanted to at least give a little help.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ru1dev:
Same exact problem here.

2nd of August - mom's phone turned of and just would not boot or prompt at all. The modem heats up when power is turned on or connected.

Tried

The unbrickable methods (but the computer would not detect the device in any form)

A JTAG - I was able to write the recovery and bootloader - assembled the phone and it just won't boot or prompt

Need to try

Another battery to see if it solves the issue.

Removing the xOM5 resistor and converting to a development S5PC110
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ru1dev:
Tried another battery - no luck

Did the resistor removal and converted to a dev board - Unbrickable now detects the board!

trying to get the device into fastboot - will update
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anshumandash:
I had the same problem few months ago. Power button had died. While I was able to boot with remove battery and connect to charger option and I was rooted. But after a week I decided to take the phone to Samsung service center to get the power button replaced. My phone did not have warranty. Samsung took few hours to get the power button replaced and it costed me about $7. I think that's the easiest method. They did not have a stock of I9020 power button, so they fixed a I9023 power button.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d_phekt:
Any update? I'm curious to see if you get it working. Had the same happen to my NS a few days ago and would like to see if I can get it going again so I can give it to my stepson.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] captainirmak:
I've given nexus s to samsung service. Actually, power button may be handled by replacing with new one, but with no hope, it will not come back when i read messages about mainboard failure. I will update news whenever it's possible.

we'll see.

I would like to hope it is kind of software matter.

Pls god give my nexus s back, i got extended 3500mah battery.

grrr....
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ru1dev:
So with the hardware mod - instead of selecting Nexus S -> I tied the Galaxy S in unbrickable - first time I've seen the screen alive! - puts the phone into download mode and I can disconnect from the usb and it stays in download mode! .. when i tried to flash odin I get a "There is no PIT partition" error -> this ofcourse is with re-partition and bootloader update UNCHECKED

When I tried Heimdall it wouldnt let me flash without a pit file. So trying Heimdall 1.1.1 - I get Failed to Access device Error: -3

Any chance some one with an i9020T can do me a huge favor? Use Heimdall 1.3.2 - download your PIT file and upload it here?

reaching for string ends out here :/

For those gamers, YouTube watchers, extended battery life is great here is a screen shot as you can see.I get a little over a day worth of juice that includes, playing an hour of video game, watching YouTube videos, using my hotspot, surfing the net, updating apps, opening emails, texting, voice calls, which I use for work,12hr shift, have to call every hour(security) which is 30 sec a call but adds up threw out the shift.overall this battery is awesome
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Josolanes:
Which extended battery did you get? Can you provide a link?

How much thicker does it make the phone?

I've owned extended batteries in the phone (as my last 2 phones hardly made it 4hr off the charger) but this one does fairly well I feel. However if I can add an extended battery and allow the phone to do more (more widgets) I may go this route again
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hulk0069:
Here's the info, ok couldn't put a link because the link takes you to my account, but the sellers name and info is in the pic,$8 is a steal, yes it makes it much thicker, but it doesn't bother me I only use it for gaming and when I watch another video,I might buy another battery.I'll try post to post as picture with the extended battery, my sg3 is blue and the back I got for it is white but that's my choice a two tone color lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hulk0069:
here is one picture
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hulk0069:
Here is another both taken with my old phone x2, sorry if pictures quality not to good
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Josolanes:
Thanks!

It actually doesn't look all that thick I don't think, especially for a 4500mah :eek: - and like you said $8 is a steal for this. I'll have to pick one up thanks again :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hulk0069:
no problem anytime and, this battery doesn't make my phone hot like the stock one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Josolanes:
Awesome thanks!

btw - can you confirm whether this battery supports NFC? I believe that was an issue with some aftermarket batteries before. It should say on the battery itself I think
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hulk0069:
no sorry no nfc with this battery, there's one that's,3000mah that has nfc, but I can't remember which company has that one, I don't use nfc,atm but when I do I still have my stock battery.:D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Josolanes:
Ah great point :good:

I mean for $8 I thought I'd be asking for a bit much but figured it was worth confirming :silly: lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hulk0069:
makes a perfect extra backup battery+ perfect for gaming, video, watching

I use the hyperion 4000+ battery and the matching case, it is totally awesome.

I stream audio (iheart radio or Sirius online) all day at work which is an absolute battery killer and the Hyperion lasts so long I never even bother to check my battery gauge anymore.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hulk0069:
I only get a day because I just got the battery on Friday, haven't broken it in yet, I'm sure it will last more then a day++, but remember 4glte sucks battery, plus I play massive games, stream lots of video.so I'm very happy so far with this battery .and besides I'm still stock not even rooted or unlocked yet.:D

4300 w/NFC, Works Great, only $15!

I got an extended battery direclty from a Chinese Manufacturer. It's 4300mAh - works great - and has NFC. (The NFC works great too.).

The battery is on Aliexpress.com here: http://www.aliexpress.com/product-f...sung-Galaxy-S3-I9300-4300mAh-wholesalers.html

Or just search for 4300 Samsung Galaxy S3 NFC Battery on Aliexpress.com

I did a video review of the battery as well as the Hyperion extended battery case. You can check it out here if you want: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOZivj2__l8

Anyway, I highly recommend this battery. Can't be beat for the price and get to keep NFC!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] got556:
I just hope Hyperion, Anker, Siedio, or Mugen release a 3000 or so mah battery. 4000+ is just too large for me personally. I mean on the stock 2100 mah I'm getting killer battery stats for only being 2100mah and pushing a 4.8" screen or so. If we could get a good 3000 mah batter I don't think the design of the phone will be ruined and also think I could mod an OB defender case to work with it. Not possible w/ a 4500 mah battery.
