[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Minker17:
I'll be getting this phone in a few days and I've done some reading, but I just want to get confirmation of a few things. I'm coming from an Amaze.

1 - Flash Counter - This phone has a flash counter that can detect if you have flashed your phone and will void your warranty. Unless you use a Odin ROM with root?

1.5 - What is the best way to make a stock backup?

2 - NV Backup - For some reason, when you flash, you can lose your IMEI and get only 2g speeds. You need to do a Full NV Backup just in case?

3 - Once rooted and NV Backup, you can flash CWM?

4 - You can then flash a custom ROM, for example CM9?

5 - And all this can be done without tripping the flash counter and generally without bricking unless you screw something up?

Am I missing anything or have I pretty much outlined the best method of obtaining stock root or custom ROM with all the backups of things I need?

Thanks guys! I really appreciate it. Like I said, I've read, but there are many conflicting reports out there. :good:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
Sounds and looks pretty darn good to me. Thanks for researching and then asking questions. Very awesome of you.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Minker17:
Right on.

Anyone else care to weigh in and double verify?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] aznmode:
Google Triangle Away app so you dont have to worry about the flash counter. It will reset back to zero with that app. Actually here you go.

This guy has done his homework, you have been reading for sure...looks good to me also...go for it. I think you are ready my friend.

This s**T should be stickied!

Great job OP for doing your HW.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mrmako777:
if we had more users like this around xda, i might have a bit more hair. looks good to me, but i might add to use trwp instead of cwm (just because cwm sucks imo). anyways, early congrats on getting an awesome phone. you wont regret it!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Minker17:
Thanks guys.

The steps for root, recovery, a ROM are generally the same for every phone. All you have to do is look at the stickied threads and see what is different, then search on those topics and draw conclusions.

Thanks again guys!

UPDATE

Got the phone. Did the initial setup, didn't add any Google Accounts, got on wifi, made sure everything was up to date.

Did my IMEI and Full NV Backup

Rooted

Rebooted

Everything went flawlessly!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Warrior1975:
Good luck and enjoy the phone. Did you decide what ROM you are going to use, if any?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Minker17:
I'll probably go CM9. I want stock, but I know sometimes features that I enjoy on stock rom don't make it over to CM.

I've updated my phone 2 days ago.. and I wish I didn't..

My latest issue.. WiFi disconnecting all the time after just a few minutes.. I've already checked wifi settings and wifi sleep policy.. Anyone has more tips to look at the problem?
[HTC One S] phositadc:
does it happen only when your screen is off?

[HTC One S] Mr Troop:
I know HTC have smartsync which turns wifi and data off if it is not used

this plays havoc with me at night between 12.00am and 07.00am.

Have a look at this

Try advanced wifi lock
[HTC One S] phositadc:
Doesn't that completely prevent your phone from going into deep sleep? Aka drain the battery ridiculously quickly.

I don't understand why HTC can't just get this right. I've never had any other phone that had trouble receiving notifications on Wi-Fi.

[HTC One S] webdo:
Same here. I tried every setting. Just have to restart my router every time before connecting. Annoying but working. And after the update the wifi signal is the worst. Much worst than before.
[HTC One S] Omnivore:
After updating to 4.04 I have the problem that connecting to my Wifi router is no problem, I get full signal (!), but actually using the network is nearly impossible! After using several apps and/or putting the phone in and out of flight mode, i sometimes regain a real connection, but in the morning or after returning home it's gone again...

The disconnecting in sleep mode and not always receiving messages I can live with, not being able to use Wifi at home and thus being forced to use 3G I can't. Anyone have similar problems and also know a solution? I'll try rebooting the router next time, could be a temporary workaround.
[HTC One S] phyrox:
I have the same problem after the 4.0.4 update. Wifi signal is incredibly bad now when I previously did not have any issues.

Tried Best Wi-fi performance and its still not as good as the default settings on 4.0.3.

Anyone has any luck factory resetting their phone to restore Wi-fi functionality?
[HTC One S] Ivancp:
I try all type of things. Differents roms, kernels, making all can i do on the recovery, factory reset wipe cache dalvik cache fix permissions, reinstalling the ruu 2.31 and doest work the notifications via wifi and the screen off (mode deep sleep) and NOTHING WORKS i am starting to thinking maybe its a problem of hardware/wifi? I dont know but there's people that their notifications works perfectly...:(
[HTC One S] OCedHrt:
I have the same or similar issue.

My wifi disconnects every minute, even when the screen is on and when I'm using it. I got a replacement phone from T-Mobile and and replacement antenna cover from HTC but still have the same problem. My previous Nexus S and HD2 had no problems with this the wifi and the wifi disconnects on all networks I've tried so far so it doesn't seem like an issue with my router.

I tried a network monitoring app and the wifi disconnected over 350 times in 6 hours.

I am going to try this: http://www.androidcentral.com/how-work-around-wifi-disconnection-issues-htc-one-x-and-one-s

I've witnessed crazy on screen times around this forum, but does this look "regular" for this phone? This would be my average everyday usage I suppose.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] evodon84:
Hello all.

I am getting some woeful download speeds on my new unlocked GSM Nexus which I am using on ATT in San Diego. I was previously using a GS2 on ATT and getting on average 5-7 Mbps download which I was fine with and so I decided to go with a Nexus and try prepaid GSM service rather than be on a contract and upgrade to an ATT 4G LTE phone. However using my Nexus in the same areas as I used my GS2 I am only getting .5 - 2 Mbps download and it's noticeably slow when not on WiFi trying to use Tapatalk or other apps which use data.

I have tried flashing different radio's but no luck still the same woeful speeds. Any ideas??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
So which prepaid service did you switch to? Important to know.

Likely either the area is just saturated, your radio isn't the best for your situation, or you have an APN or provisioning problem with the SIM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] evodon84:
No actually I haven't gone prepaid just yet, I am still on ATT and I've tried a couple of different radio's but all seem about the same.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
If you're still on AT&T postpaid, its quite likely an APN or provisioning problem then.

It's a known problem with the cm10 previews, when you come from the leaked Sammy 4.1.1 rom.

---------- Post added at 06:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:51 PM ----------

Btw, is there any possibility to turn off the light of the Menu and back hardware keys?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Mr. Droid:
Flash a stock Sammy 4.0.4 ROM and flash this and you shall be good to god.

Use the Checkrom Resurrection ODIN
[Galaxy S III Android Development] jimbo77:
Thanks for the Wifi issue tip.. I totally forgot about it :D...

I think I can work on a fix for Next Release...! How about the performance of the ROM?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] edgarf28:
This Rom is incredible fast and smooth!! even faster than the last CM10 preview!!

The only 2 problems that I have are: My bookmarks doesn't sync with the browser. And I want an option to disable the on-screen keys, and maybe disable the light for the hardware keys.

EDIT: Sorry, my bookmarks did sync after a reboot! I'm happy now!! This is for sure the best rom ever!!

Rom is working great! Just one note of 'concern', after the final boot, installed all zips, for aa lot of fc's. maps, phone, settings and few more. But all seems to work in now. thanks for this great rom!

maybe the next version can have a simpler install procedure :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] jimbo77:
I'll try to make it simpler... I don't know why in earth with the latest MIUI the framework didn't want to work when fresh installed the ROM.

Anyways thanks for the feedback! to fix maps just install the jb gapps :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] blackspp:
all the fc's happened after i installed all zips, including the gapps. anyway, seems all smooth now. afterall, I'm posting this with your rom!

Anyone tried this yet?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] maddes1402:
Yes, I tried. Vids are running in landscape mode now. IMO it feels a little bit less smooth. But it´s too early to judge if it helps with the memory leak which I don´t usually experience.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] KashMiester:
Apart from the initial errors when I tried the Rom it's been ok. It gave errors at the beginning with settings and clock fc but been fine since.

My only gripe is the dialer which crashes, I've downloaded another dialer of the market as a replacement which works fine as a workaround

[Galaxy S III Android Development] jimbo77:
did you come from a leaked JB Samsung FW? If so, you'll have to flash a full ICS Samsung FW through ODIN and then flash my ROM in order to have a working Wifi...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] maddes1402:
Up to my experience it is even enough to restore a ROM based on Android 4.04 when you came from a leaked JB Samsung FW or ROM based on that. After that Wifi works when you flash a ROM based on CM10.

This is maybe more comfortable although flashing a full ICS Sammy FW is the safest way of course ;)

Could you make a CWM Recovery folder of JIMIUI? I dont know if im doing anything wrong or i got a corrupted file but it aint working for me (flashing the rom). If any other people are encountering the same prob as me a recovery via cwm to get the rom would be nice :) (simply asking if possible)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] blackspp:
hi guys, for me the rom works fine, no sign of memory leaks, battery usage is also really good. but keep on getting fc's on settings and clock. reflashed the rom again, wiped cache, dalvik, fixed permissions but the fc's keep on coming back. definitely something wrong. can't test too much as I'm on holiday with limited or expensive internet...

hope for a solution!

Addition: any other music player than the build in one (not my favorite) shows 2 or 3xx the songs that are in the album. it's been aa while that i saw this problem, with older jelly bean roms. anybody else noticed this?

addition 2: dialer also fc's here. installed exdialer which is perfect!

addition 3: v2 seems to get quite a lot hotter than v1

addition 4: only 3 cpu's are running so the device is in constant savings mode with no option to switch the 4th core on
[Galaxy S III Android Development] troyjamz:
Everything worked fine in version 1. In thi version 2 everything is allot smoother but I'm getting force closes in the dialer and sms apk. No solution for this yet is there? Would hate to have to revert to v1 when v2 is so smooth. Thanks for this amazing ROM! :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Antonyart:
Hi guys.... i just want to inform that i tried something different and im pleased with it... i installed the V1 version and then flashed the new framework fix + the new buttons remover and i have the best rom ever... no FCs at all and ringing works like a charm!!!! fastest rom iv seen!!!:p:p:p
[Galaxy S III Android Development] blackspp:
update: the build in miui music player shows all mp3's triple, also after clearing data

v2 is not ready for prime time, v1 was actually a whole lot better for me...

hope for a good fix soon!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] KashMiester:
After using it for 24 hours now it isn't exactly smooth as v1. Laggy at times, browser has exited on me few times. When opening an email directly from the notification menu it fc. But going into email app itself is fine. Needs more refinement
[Galaxy S III Android Development] danny19901:
try doing it again but don't fix permissions as one time i installed Westcrips AOKP rom and followed instructions and it said fix permissions so i did and had loads of problems so i done the process again and same happened so i tried once more without fixing permissions and it worked a charm V2 of this rom is stable as hell for me only fc's i get is from facebook but it's understandable as everyone gets them it's developers fault Battery life is amazing no memory leaks so far extremely smooth
[Galaxy S III Android Development] jimbo77:
I'm also not experiencing many issues... The only big issue for me is the Phone FC... But the ex Dialer work around its good enough

Sent from my SGS3... Yes I have it!!!!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] SEMPITERNAL:
hi

seems you disabled pbone buttons in v2 (back and menu buttons)

ok,

but how we can turn button's light off too?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] blackspp:
I'm not gonna try again, i tried all combos, with and without fix permissions.

there are way too many bugs in this Rom. too bad cause it feels really good. switching to something else for the time being. hope this gets more stable soon!
