Do u really think JB will increase perfomance? And I honestly dont think that OTA will be relased anytime in this quater! Plus i prefeer the ripple effect in ICS would samsung keep that in JB too?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mateenf:
I see battery issues at times, also when I clear RAM to free up some memory the home screen goes blank and then appears, I have formatted my phone also, but even using a plain S3 and trying to clear RAM my screen still goes blank. Is this a known issue within S3 when clearing RAM?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mateenf:
Is this a hardware limitation or the build?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zoot1:
When you clear your RAM..all the cache which was generated gets removed hence when you go to your homescreen again..that data has to be loaded again ..and hence the delay...dont try to force your phone..Android has a very good memory management ..it will do it for you..clearing RAM all the time will just make your launcher and other most used apps slow to open...

Yes it is a hardware limitation..we have only 1 GB of inbuilt RAM..of which 221 MB is used by system and the rest is left for your apps...

Tweaks? You shouldn't have to make tweaks to the follow up to the sgs2 with super duper quad core!

Fact is you probably do.. The sgs3 is a fail. There are undeniable performance issues. It is on par with the ZTE Blade.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mateenf:
Agreed, I am really not satisfied with the performance of a quad core processor!! A quad code with a 2100 mah battery is decent but not upto mark what you expect the phone to give an output.

I was better satisfied with my galaxy note with a 2500 mAH battery which ran 3 days using EDGE and 2 days if I'm using HSPDA!!

But it should be possible to use a full 1GB RAM with custom ROM's. Like ive seen a MIUI ROM that allows a full 1Gb usable on the SGS3

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5oSnIgZ_4g
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zoot1:
Dear Sir, the miui rom shows you the complete 1 GB but the extra 221 mb is not available for your apps..if you have noticed even after a fresh intall the available Ram will hover somewhere around 600-700 MB and not 800-900 MB..

it is just how it is displayed and not used..

hope it will clarify your doubts..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sohebq:
I had huge memory leak issues. My ram used to fall even below 50 MB even after removing all bloat. I finally found the solution by moving to "Foxhund Rom". I have applied his min free ram tweaks. Now My ram never falls below 200 MB which is good enough to run heavy process.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biffsmash:
LMFAO some of the comments in this thread are seriously pathetic! Performance issues with this phone? Making it comparable to ZTE Blade? Iphone users and trolls in here much?!?

This phone, bone dry stock is blazing fast and incredibly smooth and with the latest stock latest firmware the home screen redraw is so smooth it doesn't even look like it's redrawn.

With custom roms that keep 200mb clear in RAM all the time, there is no multi tasking because the phone is constantly closing apps to keep 200mb free. It's just to keep people happy that they can see free ram! If it's never used, it's useless..

Any one with such problems could try one of the Lite Custom Roms .

Increase RAM for Galaxy S3

Well, it depends on carrier to carrier that how much RAM of your galaxy s3 will be filled by the built-in apps. If you desire to increase your RAM, then you can do it by using some external software. you can also take help from these places:

Hey XDA,

After flashing the CM10 8/21 build, it seems as if my messaging app has been completely screwed up. For some reason, I can't get it to work. I get the error with an immediate close out:

"Unfortunately, Messaging has stopped."

Are there any fixes to this or an apk I can DL? I tried wiping data and cache of the app and even wiped my cache/dalvik, no dice.

Does anyone know of any messaging apps for CM10?

Thanks,

Didi any of you were lucky with setting up orbot to work under JB rom?

Currently I am on CM10 rom with Semaphore 2.0.6 kernel but although netfilter is supported in both CM10 and Semaphore kernels Orbot did not succeeded in setting up transparency proxying. Advice on kernel or any hint what might be wrong is highly appreciated

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] groksteady:
Yeah, something changed in JB. You now have to go into Orbot settings and tick the box for "Use default iptables". You should get transparent proxying then.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kingdom_fjr:
Perfect!. Thanks for pointing me in right direction. I must have been blind not seeing that.

No sweat. It also doesn't seem like that info was very widely spread. I'd assume we're on a very small minority of Orbot users trying JB.

Hi, I have an huawei ideos x5 (u8800pro)

I updated to 2.3.5 official (B526) from the stock 2.2

After that the wifi stopped working.

What I have done so far:

1.rooted the phone, installed the Aurora_4.1 4.0.4 IMM76l eng android 4.0.4

2. Tryed to reset the mac adress with Rom manager (Fix Permissions)

3. Overrided MAC Address:

(-Installed Terminal Emulator from Market.

-Run terminal and enter these commands:

su

setprop persist.sys.wifimac mac_param=11:22:33:44:55:66)

4. Tryed many apps that change the MAC address

5. restored phone to factory default.

current status:

IMEI is ok

IP address ok

Wi-Fi mac address : unavailable

Blue tooth address : unavailable

serial number : unknown

I understand that this is not an issue with the aurora os, I just need a way to set my MAC address.

Thank you.

Ok, so I have downloaded the YP-GS1_NA_GB_Opensource.zip from the opensource Samsung website. I have then followed the instructions on the source.android.com website. So far I am at the repo sync portion. I have read ahead while waiting for the sync to finish and I am a bit confused as to what it is going to take to make a flashable ROM from the Samsung Opensource and the Android Source. I know that it is for Gingerbread, but I would like to try to get Jelly Bean working. Am I wasting my time? If not, could I get some instruction?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Supermaster34:
Don't try and build jellybean yet. Get GB working first then you can work on getting CM7 for your device. Then work on CM9 and the 3.0 kernel. Then you will have the right files to build jellybean from. However if you can find an identical device (same CPU, GPU, board, partitions etc...) then you might be able to go straight to jellybean

Recently I ordered Motorola 4g from US.... It was with stock Sprint Sunfire OS.

System Version : 45.4.13.MB855.Sprint.en.Us

Model MB855

Android 2.3.5

Baseband N_01.29.10R

Webtop 1.2.0-180

Kernel 2.6.32.9dnt648@fl36bld22 #2

Build 4.5.1A-1_SUN-254_13

So what I did, I was trying to install custom rom on that. Steps I had taken

Rooted phone via installing SuperUser and various rooting methods like ClickOnce, Photon -Torpedo but no one seems successful , while executing I got errors everytime. But after day or two I came to know about that my phone is rooted. As I was getting SuperUser popups on root operations. Then I installed CWM and tried to install the ROM from there but everytime I got stucked at Yellow Triangular icon (recovery mode).

Repeated step on rooting process and unlocking the bootloader by applying pudding.rar and fastboot commands and every time i got the error and Starting RSD Screens, but anyhow my phone recovers itself to its original boot state afetr pulling out battery and manually restrating.

Finally one day I use some other Recovery Tool , i am unable to recall the name. It installed and rebooted successfully in the recovery mode. I then wipe the dalvik cache, wipe factory reset and then tried to installl the custom rom that MIUI 2.68 i think . I was happy to see some designer screens on my phone and then it said rom installed successfully.

I then reboot my phone and found it in the Failed To Start2 , Starting RSD mode

I tried various way to restore...

Installing pudding.rar using RSD lite but everytime I got sec_exception : sec_exception : b655, eddc,eb

I then tried reinstalling SBF : 1FF-sunfire-user-2.3.4-4.5.1A-1_SUN-198_7-CM-release-keys-signed-Sprint-US.sbf and sunfire-2.3.5-4.5.1A-1_SUN-254_4 but while enumerating phone I got error sec_exception febe 4e 4e

I have also tried nopudding4u.sbf but the same result.

Please,, help me and my phone out .. as its going to be more than a week... i feel handicaaped:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:...

Please guide me through the step by step , which file and when and please do provide the links of the files to download.

Thanks for your reply peetr_.. I would like to know on the basis of my exceptions , Is my phone recoverable or become as useless as a paperweight. I can see fastboot modes and RSD modes and can even swicth between them. In some other forum , I came to know that ,I can reover my phone back but for that I need a locked bootstrap for 2.3.5 and then reflash using the stock sbf.

So could you please tell me how to do that and where to find those files. I am digging XDA Forums and AndroidForum.com past two weeks for the solution...
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
Should have read around a bit before you attempted all of this. Go to the general and QA section of the photon forums and search the first few pages of each. There will be 5 or 6 different threads with people who have experienced the same problems in which we have completely outlined the steps you would need to take.
[Motorola Photon 4G] amitranjan:
Is this what I have to do ????

Step by step 2.3.5 unbrick:

1)Flash this SBF (http://d-h.st/XGJ). Now you'll have stock 2.3.5 for Electrify. But you need Sprint services (I assume), so you don't stop here. -

2) Download bootstrap from DroidX2 forum, and get it working. Of course you need to root your photon first.

3) Flash this ROM (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=30332325) from bootstrap. Please follow the instructions for this ROM carefully, you don't wanna flash the SBF again.

4) Flash 254_13 modules (http://d-h.st/aAi) with bootstrap. you need them.

5) Flash 2.3.5_254_13 sv2 boot, recovery and cdrom image sbf (http://d-h.st/TeB) with RSD Lite.

6) Flash 254_12 libmoto_ril.so (http://d-h.st/BmX) with bootstrap. You don't need to flash the radio SBF.

4) and 6) is not needed, if you install rom 3)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
Im pretty sure thats right. However, I have never faced this problem first hand so i would wait for a second opinion before going forward. Peetr will know, hopefully he will chime in.
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
Yes. Exactly those steps.

Bootstrap is bootstrap CWM recovery, you must download the apk and install, following the instructions.
[Motorola Photon 4G] amitranjan:
Thanks for the confirmation of the steps.

Few more things:

1. I have still my bootloader locked i think. So will these these steps work.

2. Flash this SBF (http://d-h.st/XGJ). Now you'll have stock 2.3.5 for Electrify. But you need Sprint services (I assume), so you don't stop here. - What If I dont want Sprint Services? I am here in India and there is no sprint network. We have VodaFone, Airtel and Other operators, still on 3G. No 4G here. Can I stop @ 1.

3. Can I install , other custom roms on it, in future If I want?

[Motorola Photon 4G] sub2k1:
This seems like a lot of work just to get a softbricked Photon 4G to work. Didn't Motorola release a soak test about two months ago? Do we have an SBF for that? If so then couldn't someone with a bricked Photon 4G (running 2.3.5 stock) just flash the soak test files and get the Photon working fine?

Also if someone does follow these instructions, will they be able to get the latest OTAs from Sprint when ICS/JB goes official?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
This is the only way, there is no sbf for the latest soak. And honestly, this process doesnt take very long. If you cant spare an hour to unbrick a phone then people shouldnt be tinkering with their phone in the first place. And nope, you will remain locked, no way to unlock and install ics/jb.

How do i perform stage 3..?? Tried doing through android recovery but it says "Failed signature verification" or something and adb fastboot doesn't seem to work (may be i am bad with command prompts).
