I've had mine since mid June. I do have an otterbox and a few other cases that I alternate between. However, day today for the most part I use it without a case. The screen is still flawless.

I recommend using a good cover and a screen protector.

I am always very careful with my phones, but who knows what may happen if you give your phone to a friend for 2 minutes. :laugh:

The only scratch I've found on my S3 is on the camera lens. It's on the very edge between the open clear lens and the black boarder. Oh and a few markings on the battery cover. Nothing to serious.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] hjf2011:
I'm a little confusted here. I'm running this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1098849

The instructions say that the firmware package includes the "recommended" radio, but later it suggests a newer one.

I installed the FW package "Firmware from 3.12.401.2/102 RUU", my sensation is a PG5811000 BSTAR301 (Country: Argentina, Carrirer: Personal, phone made in Argentina by "Brighstar", htc OEM). I think I SuperCID'ed it before flashing.

Right now I'm running the radio included in that FW package, which is 11.65.3504.00P_11.19.3504.29_2. It is working FINE: HSDPA gives me an incredible 4mbit/s according to speedtest.net. Wifi is also excellent. BUT i noticed that, sometimes, I get a "No Signal" warning. (so far, haven't had dropped or missed calls). So that's why I wanted to try another radio.

I got the Radio_11.76A.3504.00P_11.24A.3504.31_M.rar file and followed the instructions but it says "writing 'radio'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)", apparently because this is SHIP S-OFF and not ENG S-OFF

So what do I do? Can I take the newer radio.img and put it in the PG58IMG.zip and retry FW? Do I need to install an ENG S-OFF HBOOT?

The frequencies for Argentina are 850/1900 and some forums also say 2100.

Do I even need to worry about changing/upgrading the radio?
[HTC Wildfire S] P1ngP1ng:
I have unlocked my boot loader and rooted my WFS. I have backed up the ROM that came with the phone and would now like to flash a custom one. I've taken a look around but can't find a bog-standard, Gingerbread ROM (ie. without any HTC Sense) which is what I'd like to try first.

Does anyone know if one exists and, if so, can they point me to it please?

Kind regards

Hi guys

I am opening a new cell phone shop which also includes repair as well. cna anyone please suggest me the best name for my shop. thanks :confused:
[General Topics] Teraclips:
EasyFix or FixALot
[General Topics] bharattvcentre:
Thanks

Thanks a lot for your suggestion. Which is the best software to tracking the repair. thanks in advance :)
[General Topics] Teraclips:
No problem.

When you say software to track the repair, you mean administrative software? (Sales, stock in store, etc)

Well I would guess that Microsoft has software for that or you could investigate more what suits your needs fine.

We used a software called Monica, then kreateck (kinda expensive though) and now we are using a server based one which doesn't have a limit on how many PCs can be installed...

The last two however are very customizable.

If that wasn't what you were asking sorry lol... I don't know much about cellphones myself other than flashing them ( new to XDA )

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akxak:
I rooted with Method 2 (install CWM via Odin, install SuperSU via CWM) and reset the flash counter meanwhile with TriangleAway.

That method only installs su and leaves the rest untouched.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] budalica:
That's what I did and stock recovery is gone . I went to root galaxy note website and it points where to download stock recovery , but it said

n7000 . when you click on link it said download n8000 stock recovery I downloaded anyway and flashed but when I reboot into recovery it shows fallen android and it said something not able to load csc . I just wanted a root for couple things like font changer and adaway and another thing ( i can't remember now ) The note works just fine , but I just want it stock .

Edit : New post just popped up claiming they have stock recovery and kernel . Maybe this will help .
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akxak:
Well... either you flash a modified stock rom with su (requires a matching one) or you need a custom recovery. Where is the problem with a custom (and more capable) custom recovery, which also allows a nandroid back.

You need a way to install su and you need to modify the device for this purpose. Stock does not permit installing su.

Danke akxak .

I was going to go to the store to return it this morning . It was giving me trouble with the pen . When I pull out the pen it's unresponsive , and touching screen with fingers did not work either . When I reboot it works fine with fingers , but when i pull stylus out it freezes . I managed to restore it but it was still doing it , and then for no reason whatsoever it works fine again ,,,,,,, If i have to return it to store they going to check it to see what I did with it and when they see triangle they going to say no . ( triangle away does not see hidden partition so it's useless ) counter is at zero and I have official rom . If the stylus fails completely I have to keep it and I was telling everyone how my screen is going to stay clean while using stylus .
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akxak:
This problem is well described here in the forums and is probably caused by OTA of a rooted device.

I updated my one with Kies and re-rooted it (CWM and flashing SuperSU). I never had the problems till now.

hi guys,

i am trying to run Temple run on my Defy (red lens) running quarx 22 aug build for Defy+. But its really slow and at times unplayable. Can any one suggest what to do so that it runs smoothly ...
[Defy Themes and Apps] vedhasd:
supercharge your phone :P
[Defy Themes and Apps] castillo11:
Make sure you have loads of free RAM and your Defy overclocked :good:
[Defy Themes and Apps] Android master:
It's still a nightly

CM 10 is still on the before the middle stage of being stable so it is still lagy, unstable:eek:, and all of that staff so just wait for the most stable release. After every 3 releases I try one to see what they had came up to but find it still very slow and lagy and after I reinstall my Apps it's even more unstable:(, so I just reinstall my fav. ROM with my tweaks. I'm on defy + CM 7.2 Nightly but it's very stable and my daily ROM:good:.

[Defy Themes and Apps] adix149:
@brajesh

whats your Defy setup.?? Did you install any spl apps ??
[Defy Themes and Apps] veddandekar:
Its quite Simple :D

Make sure you have a Clean install of CM10. always use the latest cause it gets more and more stable every time :)

OverClock you defy. To Do This on CM10 go to [settings -> Performance -> Processor] and set the minimum frequency to 300 and maximum to 1000 and Tick Set on Boot.

Under performance set memory management to "allow purging of assets."

Also under performance set surface improvement To "Disable dithering"(I dont know what this one does but I have to this way...)

Edit:Forgot to mention this - Using minimal gapps instead of full gapps also saves you some RAM.I used to Lag alot on Full gapps but then Installed minimal gapps and its smooth as silk now :)

Reboot,clear cache and Dalvik and try to play again see if it works :)

You can also use oother CPU governors.I use BoostedAssv2. :D

---------- Post added at 03:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:25 PM ----------

I read a lot of times and also have tested myself to notice that Supercharging does not help alot in CM10....

It infact sometimes makes it slower... The defy with cm10 is fast enough on its own anyways :D

Well atleast for me it is :) Just telling what I think....
[Defy Themes and Apps] vedhasd:
Well what all things you have said to follow those thinngs and much more are done by supercharger! Um it does not make a huge difference ... come on you can't get s2's performance without changing h/w ;)

And yea minimal gapps helps save RAM

Playing on 24/09 was fine for me.
[Defy Themes and Apps] nastys:
Mine is very smooth. There's no need to overclock, but at 1.2 GHz it's super smooth. Make sure you have the 27.10 build. To overclock go to Bootmenu, CPU settings, and set Clk4 to 1200 and Vsel4 to 60 or 62 or until it's stable (max 65). If you want you can also set Clk3 to 900. Select Save when done and reboot. It should be safe within Vsel 65.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] salami740:
Hi there,

i have a Xperia S with Stock Android 4.0 installed.

The phone has a good camera, but the photos are very highly compressed.

e.g. a photo with 4912x1080px is only 282KB in size.

Sony knows about the problem, but it does not look as if it will be fixed sonn.

My question:

Is there a photo app for Android with all the cool ICS-features (Sweep-Panorama and so on...)

in which i can set the JPEG compression quality by myself?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Hayden18:
282 KB that seems a bit small, I'm getting between 2-3 MB
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] salami740:
other examples

normal shots:

4000x3000 shot at broad daylight: 1,74MB

4000x3000 at night: 2,05MB

4000x2250 daylight: 2,29MB

sweep panorama:

4912x1080: 376KB

4912x1080: 244KB

the normal shot qualitiy is ok, but not good.

The quality could be so much better, if i can set the jpeg quality higher / manually.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ryknex:
Use PROCAPTURE, its noise reducing mode is good enough, but a bit difficult to use...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] keithwalton:
My panorama's are around 480kb, normal 12mp pics are 2-3mb like others which is indeed over / aggressively compressed it's quite a dynamic rate in terms of whats in the pic determines its size.

I have tried the camera ics+ app which has quality settings but it doesn't seem to compress any less even on 'ultra' mode which suggests the compression is done early on in the software loops
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] shyam2010:
is there anyway to lose the compression, maybe sony can do it if they want..the 12mp snapper is not up to the performance when in low lights and the flash (camera flash) is really weak, some workaround for the flash ?? maybe?? i am really happy using UCAM , as the Stock camera app is really buggy and 3 out of 5 shots comes out blurred , but still the flash is really weak and causes red eye problems in low light conditons
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MrBelter:
Using camera ics the file sizes of my images are significantly higher.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viruli:
Hi guys. Sorry if this thread already exists somewhere, but forum search only found he Google Now on ice cream sandwich thread. So, and to everyone who has now/new voice search on their device, what are your thoughts?

I personally wish that the voice/info cards activated more often;sometimes it just showed me regular Google search, and but with a very thin, rectangular box with the answer (see attachment). Recognition is quite good. The voice is more realistic than siri, and and response time is better. The inability to launch apps, make calendar appointments, and and set alarms on a different day are the only real annoyances. Knowledge graph is simply amazing. So that's my opinion. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts! :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hreidmar:
I was also a bit disappointed when i saw you couldn't launch apps and create events in calendar but i think Google Now is FAR FAR AWAY from being in final form this is just a testing release so they can collect information on how and when we use this app so it can become bigger.

I bet Google will release another minor update (4.1.2 maybe ?) with the new Nexuses that will have better Google Now included. :)

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] RayQ1223:
Is it good to calibrate the battery everyday? With the calibration app on the market
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] starbriganza:
Calibrating your battery properly is a very tedious process therefore it is not practically possible to calibrate your battery everyday. Also it is not necessary to calibrate your battery everyday as once calibrated in a ROM it will give accurate readings of battery levels.

:D
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Dark3n:
Deleting batterystats.bin has no effect on batterylife, just saying.

The file contains statistics about battery usage.

Most of these battery calibrating guides are not really doing anything, it's alot of superstition :).

Usually battery status is determined through its voltage (i.e. full cell has 4.22V), I'm not sure there is anything to be calibrated.

[HTC One X] Azurael:
Haha, aluminium is the _worst_ material I can think of for a phone's back. Well, second only to glass, with an obligatory glare in the direction of Apple.

I didn't treat my iPhone 2G any worse than the phones I've had since (Desire, Atrix and One X) which are all still immaculate. However, it looks like it's been dragged through a warzone or four. Covered in scratches, scrapes and dents. This only mirrors my experience of owning aluminium laptops (again, Apple, but does anybody else do it better?)

How to know if my stock rom is odexed or not ?

here is some info :

cid: HTC_J15

version: 1.29.415.11

radio: 1.1204.105.14

thanks in advance
[HTC One X] vivek_bhoj:
There is more technical explanation to this, but the easiest way to find out is to use root and root explorer and in your phone's /system/app normally you have the .apk and coresponding .odex to every application inside your phone. Deodexed rom (mostly Custom Rom) don't have .odex files.

Deodexed is like decompiling the application (java..etc.) and recompiling it at the same time so that the apps will work even without the .odex file. Once your rom is deodexed you can modify the look of your phone, like adding custom theme for example.

If you have a stock rom (original or update), it's not deodexed, unless it is indicated when you downloaded it.

---------- Post added at 04:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:01 PM ----------

Odex ROMs have their main files moved to another area for faster booting while when you deodex the ROM these files are compiled back inside the APK....

To know weather your phone is Deodexed or Odex, just open Root Explorer app and navigate to "/system/app" and check if there files with ".odex" extension....

If yes then your ROM is Odex

Otherwise, your ROM is Deodexed....

The benefits of having a Odex ROM :

1. More space in "/data" partition.

2. First boot is faster.

The benefits of having a Deodex ROM :

1. You can customize the ROM the way you want without worrying about odexes....

HI all, i recently purchased a ATT Note and love it. I have come back to droid after being on the iphone for a while. I fell in love with the screen. I almost sided with the Galaxy SIII due to the performance being so much better but the display model Note was not running ICS. So i got the note, brought it home and got it updated. Its a great phone, i love it. Especially for me being able to remote into my work computer and assist end users in troubleshooting. I am getting close to returning it though and getting the GSIII due to it being just so much faster. Is there a current ROM available that improves performance? There just seems to be so much lag when opening things up and when typing. The GSIII also has a nice screen but is noticeably smaller to me and that was a drawback but the performance is really better to me and things open instantly. Thanks for any input! I apologize for any repost i did a search and did not really see anything, Thanks for any help!
