[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yldlj:
You have to factory reset from the phone but it will format the internal sdcard
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LiL_CdE:
I used ODIN 3.07 to Flash the firmware via the PDA field.

I always do a backup of my data to my External SD Card and then do a factory format via CWM and clear cache before installing firmware.

The firmware file i used is from samfirmware: I9300TDUALF2_VAUALF2_Australia_Vodafone_Android_4.0.4.zip.

Don't you get your root back when you flash original firmware to the phone?

I have a feeling because I used JB 4.1.1 International it changed the boot screen?

Is there a manual way to change it back using the params file?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yldlj:
No you dont get root you will have to root again. Go into settings backup and reset then do a factory reset. I think that will erase internal sdcard tho.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LiL_CdE:
What exactly does root do? (I know how to flash and install CWM and custom firmwares but Ive never really understood the terminology)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yldlj:
Read more.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LiL_CdE:
I've tried searching for the params file but dont seem to find much info on it. I've also watched if the file is flashed when using in odin but I cannot see it like I have in previously when flashing my SG1.

I have completed factory reset using the option under security and via CWM.

Can anyone please provide me with more information to point me in the right direction as I do want to restore it looking like factory?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerverg:
Were you able to solve the problem? Was just wondering what you did for the boot-up to show I9300 instead of I9300T. I have flashed dozens of ROM, official and AOSP, but mine always showed I9300T. I have the I9300T and I want it to show I9300 instead. Your problem is what I want. LOL. How ironic.

Recently switch over to an ICS rom and was wondering if there has a modded logprovider.apk that disables the mms and call logs in contact history. Even if i delete it from my mms and phone logs, it still shows in the contact history adn the MMS recent log.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] elesbb:
Never heard of such a thing. I always thought the text messaging apk handled the logging of the texts or even the telephony provider or something like that. I've even found the actual log file.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] volkly:
Logprovider.apk stores the call and sms history under your contacts history, deleting the call log doesn't clean it under contact history. You can simply make a call to someone on your contact list, delete your call log, then open up your contact app, find the contact you call and select history, the call and sms logs are still there.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xl DIGITAL lx:
The idea of having the best and ultimate protection for our phones is great and luckily, X Gear had brought this to life with a tampered glass screen protector.

The screen protector was packaged up very nicely with its own separate box. A cleaning cloth was also included in the package.

Installation itself was really easy. What I did was peal of the first layer, which revealed the adhesive side, and aligned it properly according to the cutouts. After having it lined up, I just released the other portion of the screen protector. It stuck very nice and felt great.

The glass wasn't that thick at all; according to the website, it measures only .4mm thin. I had encountered a couple minor problems on my end, such as a decrease in touch sensitivity on the bottom half of the screen as well as a crack when I tried to rearrange the position of it. It might only be a defect with this particular screen protector but I am going to ask for a replacement and see if that helps at all.

After a couple weeks of using it, it provided a magnificent type protection that kept the actual screen's surface nice and clean, and I have to say it is worth the investment and trying it out.

Link to product: http://www.xgearlive.com/products/android/samsung/fantom
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shreddintyres:
I have noticed that while the outer surface of the screen protector seems to be very scratch resistant the side with the adhesive seems to be easily scratched. when applying the SP i noticed some lint on the adhesive side of the SP so i used the provided MF cloth to clean the screen upon installing the SP i noticed a slight scratch. Despite this one minor nuisance i find that i am EXTREMELY satisfied with the Fantom SP, almost everyone that has seen my phone with the SP on has no idea by look or feel that i infact have an SP on the phone until I mention to them that there is a Tempered Glass SP on it.

I should also add that it fits perfectly with out any interference to the SGP Ultra Hybrid case that I use.

i know there are some people that don't seem to have issues, but i'd highly recommend against this protector. it kills the touch sensitivity on the bottom half of the screen and nav bar. i had to remove mine last week due to the sensitivity issues. looks like you pay for return shipping & 20% return fee, too, if you find you don't like it. read this thread:

[HTC Sensation] Euyis:
Everyone who owns a Sensation knows that when holding the phone in landscape mode, very often would the left hand lay directly in front of the WiFi antennas and block out signals completely, resulting in a loss of WiFi. Aside from holding the phone in an weird and uncomfortable position (keeping the fingers away from antenna holes but this also increases risk of dropping the phone accidentally) is there any way to prevent the loss of WiFi while in landscape mode? Like giving the antennas another point for signal reception?

If I hold it in landscape it doesn't do it to me either. In fact, to get it to actually drop, I have to completely cup the phone in my hands, then I lose one bar. My router is about 20 metres away for my lounge room.
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
I tried and couldnt make the signal drop no matter what I did. This sounds more like an issue with the antennae connectors on the inside of the back cover. Those can get loose.

I actually went to landscape just to try this and I can't get the signal to drop, what do you mean by anttenna holes though??

One issue I do have in landscape is not blocking the light sensor...:(

That used to happen to me too but I just started flipping it the other way when I went into landscape, have the top of the phone tilt down to the right instead of the left. Keeps the light sensor on the upper corner instead of lower.

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] KS Lin:
Can someone develop a font optimizing app for Xperia arc s just like Fontomizer that works for Galaxy phones. In our country, Myanmar, we use a native font named Zaw Gyi One, and most Facebook pages and blogspots use this font. We have to root our android phones and install that font in root folder to be able to view these pages. Rooting is not difficult for you guys, but for newbies, it's difficult, you know. Without knowledge, it can damage the phone, right? Professionals from phone stores, so, takes money (about 4$) to root and install that font. Then, fontomizer came and Galaxy phones get font optimization without rooting (and possible damage or additional fees). But, still other brands are still stuck in the process.

Uploaded together is the Zaw Gyi One font apk. Can someone develop such app or find a way to install custom fonts without rooting, please, please!!!
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] fakhreza:
Sorry to tell you this, but as long as Sony makes the fonts to be part of main system, there's no possible way to create such application without root permission needed.

Maybe you should learn to root the phone by yourself, it's quite easy. All you have to have is basic computer knowledge (you know, how to install stuff on your computer, where to search something that will be needed, etc) because now rooting is just a few mouse clicks away when you have everything prepared. You don't have to have any linux knowledge to root your phone (like me, it will come to you a little by little as time goes by while you "play" with your phone). It only a few days to fully understand how to root, and maybe a week to understand your phone behavior and what to do to anticipate unwanted bricking or other mishap after rooting.

Rooting will not damage the phone in a "hard way" (except overclocking AFAIK).

Google is your friend :D
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] KS Lin:
I'll learn. Thank u for your encouragement. :)

But, what about elderly people & some guys who don't have a computer knowledge, but buy Android just because it is popular?

I was wondering if anyone has had any luck exchanging/returning their prime at future shop? Further more does anyone know if future shop has the same policy as best buy does when it comes to honouring to manufacturer's warranty.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Vaanhoot:
It only the Best Buys in the US. I bought mine from Best Buy in Canada and they won't honor the manufacturers warranty. I have tried 4 Best Buys in 3 cities, Calgary, Red Deer, and Edmonton. They all just wanted to send it into Asus for repair.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] T-HO6969:
How long ago did you attempt? People are now having success in getting store credit for their primes and docks. All in the Canadian thread.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Vaanhoot:
I believe they have only had success claiming it was a gift and putting it back in its original packaging. Future Shop probably thinks it is new. Mine is unlocked, and got it in January. Although it looks new still, it's not and I don't think it is fair that future shop or best buy should have to pay for asus's mistake, because I doubt Asus will give them money back on an unlocked prime, and if they try to sell it then a customer will get ripped off. If it is there policy to honor the manufacturers warranty then fine I will exchange it, but it doesn't sound like that is the case here in Canada. However I have received an email from Asus claiming they now have a "buy back program" in place for unsatisfied prime owners. I am waiting for further instructions and will post back the results.

Edit: I am going to try one last time to return my prime to Best Buy today under the manufacturers warranty. I tried last weekend in Edmonton.
