[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pdinphx:
It really depends on your needs and usage.

I am running KT747, 192 - 2106, custom voltage table, SmartassV2/sio -- Synergy.r71.

SmartassV2 can ramp up very quickly to meet demand and also attempts to ramp down quickly when demand lightens. You get a performance bias when you are interacting with the phone and a powersave bias when you are not.

As schedulers go, I figure simpler is better ... sio, all the way.
[Nexus S General] jeremy112683:
Does the NS and ns4g use the same battery and battery cover?
[Nexus S General] Rene_Lui:
I only knoe that the back cover of i9020 and i9023 are little bit different
[Nexus S General] jeremy112683:
Cool I'm wanting to buy an extended battery and some searches come up with both ns and ns4g in description and some just say ns4g.
[Nexus S General] shrekdaklown:
they are the same http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/ET-CGPK992GSTA
[Nexus S General] chronophase1:
Batteries? Yes. The covers are different I think due to the 4G antenna in the Sprint variant.
[Nexus S General] jeremy112683:
I was wondering why the Ns4g were about 40$ and the others were like 15$ in eBay
[Nexus S General] kmjo29:
The 4g battery door has the nfc chip installed inside the back cover. Don't know if ns do.
[Nexus S General] chronophase1:
So does the gsm one. My other post about the antenna is going off an assumption. The antenna probably adds some bulk and needs certain areas on the back cover extended. I find it funny that the NS4G cover runs more by they are much easier to find online. Haha.
[Nexus S General] jeremy112683:
Well i got one eBay for ns4g 3900mah and with back cover and wall charger so I can charge another battery without the phone. 38$
[Nexus S General] MajorKC:
most aftermarket (if not all have yet to see one) extended batteries and covers for the NS4G, dont have NFC chips in the cover.
[Nexus S General] jeremy112683:
This one has the two connectors on it. And if I knew it was for NFC I would have saved money and just got the for the ns. I don't trust NFC any way, to many theives in this world
[Nexus S General] lee80134:
I got a 3500 ohm battery and cover on ebay for about $8.50. It says for NS but if you file or use a dremel on the power button opening it fits NS4g fine. It's actually easier to hold with the extended battery Imo. Lasts all day and then some. There is no nfc antenna on the cheap battery covers that I have seen, but I haven't used it yet anyway.
[Nexus S General] jeremy112683:
Well I got it today. this one has the NFC connectors, or 4g antenna as they call it lol. Charging the beast now

[Desire General] Flying Scotsman:
As the title suggests my SD card (Sandisk class 6 16GB) has been acting up as of late. Apps frequently crash en masse (Using Sandvold's ICS rom with A2SDX). When I put a new rom onto the root of the SD card and delete 0.16.1 (since it's broken), the new rom remains when flicking through windows on my desktop but when I enter recovery, the new rom (and any new folders I make- Which as soon as I make on the desktop and click to go into them, they're full of gibberish files and folders which when clicked spark up "Can't be opened" errors) disappear and 0.16.1 has reappeared (As if I hadn't touched the SD card at all). I try and counter the mass app crashing by restoring a previous backup but when it reaches "Restoring SD-ext" it brings up "Error while formatting /SD-ext" (But strangely rom installations flash to SD-Ext just fine without an error) (I'm using 4EXT recovery). Strangely the backup acts fine even with this error (but around every 3 days after a restore or update of apps, they crash again). If I try and format the Fat32 partition on Windows 7, regardless of a quick format or slow one, it always comes back with "unable to format" (This error occurs with both third party programs and window's Disk manager/explorer).

Is this a sign my SD card is dead/dying or is it just a fluke and can be fixed?

Any help is appreciated.
[Desire General] handy5876:
Try partitioning and formatting with 4ext. It is supposed to be stable. But all roads finally lead to gparted which is the standard linux tool. There is a guide in my signature.
[Desire General] jmcclue:
like handy says use 4ext recovery. Make ur sdcard all fat32. in recovery go to

tools/partition sdcard/ remove all partitions and start from scratch/

skip

skip

skip

this will make sdcard fat 32

then in tools format sdcard (twice)

this will definitly wipe it clean. then partition ur sdcard to whatever ROM requires. this should sort out sdcard. try installing ur rom without restoring any backup coz ur backup could also be the problem.

PS: try another rom, not ICS :sly:

[Desire General] Flying Scotsman:
Tried formatting using 4EXT. Strangely it tells me the format was a success but files etc are still on the card. Tried Gparted and it seems to remove the Ext 4 partition and format the entire card but when it reloads the drives, the partition is back and so are my files. It seems there's no means to actually format it.
[Desire General] michaffm1964:
Just buy a new card, it is cheap
[Motorola Photon 4G] Essenar:
So I have until about the middle of next month to decide if I'm keeping this or getting something better. I started a new Sprint contract (welcome me to the club?) and the Photon 4G was free with new activation. I've always been a big fan of Tegra 2 devices, I used to own a Transformer but I had to sell it to buy college books. :(

Now, I have the extra money to either buy a Nexus 7 tablet in that time (or whatever competitive tablet to the Nexus 7 is out at that point) or the S3 and maybe a cheap Allwinner tablet or something. Now if the phone is really THAT good, I could pony up for the S3 and still get a Nexus 7 but I'm trying to get the best 'bang for buck' performance.

My question is, is the S3 worth it? Would an over-clocked Tegra 2 hold its weight? Is the S3 even better for gaming? I was under the belief that the Snapdragon S3 processes faster than the Exynos quad core, the GPU on the Exynos is actually better. I do play games.

The one thing I don't like is that it seems like all the cool roms, like CM 10 hashes and heavily modded roms, tend to kill 4G. I actually am in a spotty 4G area but it's here and there so I like to have it when I can. I also feel like the dev support isn't as high as HTC/Samsung devices but root/unlock is there so it's not that big of a deal to just mod minimally and let apps take care of the rest.

The screen size isn't huge but it's big enough and while the resolution isn't 720p, it's a phone so that's not TOO big of a deal.

The thing is, I'll be locked to whatever device I get for at least 20 months and that's a long time, especially if LTE drops in San Diego.

The one thing holding me back is that while the device is great NOW, what about 8 months from now? Even the S3 will be skipping a few beats in 8 months.

What do you guys think? Pony up and potentially skip the Nexus 7, keep the Photon 4G, mod the crap out of it and pick up some cheap Allwinner tablet for my book reading or man up and buy both?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
While getting photons ICS drivers complete our JB and ICS builds is seemingly inevitable, we don't have that same promise for an unlocked boot loader. So if by all means you 'need' 4g but still want to mod the hell out of your phone, go on and get the S3. In many ways, the Photon is a much better phone in my (perhaps biased) opinion. An extra two cores in your processor is well and good and all, but will those cores make a huge difference in the every day use of the phone? Would you be able to tell the difference past being able to crank up the settings in the games you play? Probably not enough to justify dropping 200 bucks and getting a totally different phone. The photon is already a beast at stock and blazingly fast after some modifications. And if Moto drops those drivers next month, **** is about to get really exciting up in here soon. Besides, its September, the new Nexus will be getting announced in like a month and a half. If you're considering a new phone, that would probably be the device to wait patiently for. As for me, I'm jump on board with whatever Nokia wp8 device drops in sprints lap (if it ever does).
[Motorola Photon 4G] Toaster Strudels:
Get the S3. It will last you much longer and you won't regret it after you get it. If you have to spend the money, spend it. You will get a greater return on your investment over the next 2 years.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Essenar:
The lines are even blurrier than that.

The US Galaxy S3 doesn't have a quad core so it's Tegra 2 vs. Snapdragon S4 Krait dual core. The S4 dual core is hands, feet, shoulders and head better than the Tegra 2 in terms of CPU performance. However, the S4 GPU is actually 'worse' than the Exynos and Tegra 3 GPU. So the question is where the Tegra 2 GPU stands against the S4 GPU. And the game settings are absolutely part of the reason I'll choose one over the other. I plan on playing the latest games, PSX roms, etc with the device over the two years I own it. That's also why I'm considering if even the Galaxy S3 is powerful enough.

The other issue is LTE network. I have NO idea when Sprint's LTE will drop in San Diego but I know it won't be two years. Once LTE drops, I'll be on the archaic, spotty inconsistent WiMax 4G connection. I miss LTE and I'm not sure if the Photon 4G will be LTE compatible.

I also wonder if it's worth it to just pick up a clean-ESN Photon 4G on Craigslist or Ebay and using that until the US quad-cores drop because the S3 maybe isn't 'enough' of an upgrade to justify the two year commitment when new phones might be on the horizon.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
Photon unfortunately doesn't support lte. And if it makes you feel better I check out all the latest games and run psx ROMs all the time without a hitch. Most are developed for tegra 3 and almost all seem to be tegra 2 compatible and the ones that arnt usually note that they will be. Iono man, I just seriously advise against using your two year upgrade on the s3. I can almost promise that within two months something will come out that you'll be like "damn I really want this phone, I should have waited". One thing I've figured out about technology over the years is that after doing your research, if the product doesn't absolutely speak to you, just sit tight for a product that does.
[Motorola Photon 4G] findthedr:
If you are still within a time frame that you can switch out your photon for an SG3, than you might be also within the timeframe to cancel your contract without ETF reprecussions.

Based on the available phone lineups and uncertainty (LTE in sandiego, etc), locking in on a 2yr contract would be a poor investment. I would recommend going with a prepaid cell provider and getting a phone for that network that has a pretty good resell value.

examples:

pentaband galaxy nexus from google play store - tmobile walmart plan ($30/month)

CDMA phone from craigslist/ebay - straightalk
[Motorola Photon 4G] jortiz12885:
Try to get a photon 4G off craiglist!! I got mine for 80$ u can later sell it for an upgrade photon is a GSM phone more options to sell than the s3 from sprint and later in couple of months perhaps u can upgrade. Am also waiting on a better gsm/lte option from sprint as the photon Q has the gsm sim card embedded
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sw339:
Just checking if this is possible before I attempt it, or if it will mess something up.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chicle_11:
Sure you can. Preware is in webOs which has nothing to do with your Android installation.

I like webOS a lot. Shame that it doesn't have the apps that android has.

When you install preware you can add all sorts of tweaks that will make your tablet run much better. It will have no effect on your Android. For example, install uberkernel and you'll be able to OC. It's very stable. Make sure you read/study about it before doing anything.

Go over to the webOS nation forum and read up on it.

Good luck.

As chicle_11 said, you may find this useful which I posted in another thread.

Install preware with Webos Quickinstall here is a link https://www.box.com/shared/45151ecc89fd2b4fce2f . After you have run quickinstall and installed preware you can install an app called Cyboot. This article here explains what you need to do http://liliputing.com/2011/10/how-to...-or-webos.html . It really is not difficult and should only take a couple of minutes.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drahy:
Hello,

I have a question about formating internal card with Recovery ...

Is there any safe way how to format internal card of the phone in CWM recovery and still be able to flash new rom? There is an option for it - format internal sd card and format external but I am not sure what happens if I format internal card etc. Thank you.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
it will wipe your SD card just like normal formatting. It's safe.

However if you are not comfortable with the recovery method, you can also try this method which is even safer:

- goto SETTINGS >Storage> Erase SD (do this for the SD you want to erase)

Very fast, very smooth

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drahy:
I was thinking about wiping completely internal and external data which show to me when i plug-in my telefon to my computer. Is there any save way to format all the phone and not brick it? I mean really clean the phone ... :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Immortalis:
Then do exactly as Jokesy said.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drahy:
But this procedure will wipe only external card, right?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
No. There will be three storage devices shown under storage settings.

1. System, 2Gig

2. Internal SD, 11.x Gig ( there will be a separate ERASE SD for this)

3. External SD, x.x Gig, depending on the size of the your external SD.

If you still not sure advise this you can temporarily unmount your external SD before trying the formatting process.

Good luck

If you are on ICS, you can use Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper for backup your root and Su.

When you update your TF300 on JB by OTA, restore your root with Voodoo.

Then I install TWRP for JB like you can see in this post:

I believe the poster above is correct. Or you can just install a launcher like Nova that allows you to backup/restore your screens.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] piiman:
Do a restore all missing apps and data from the "batch" menu and you should be good to go. Widgets will have to be re-setup though no matter how you restore.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sfetaz:
Not true about widget restore. Make a backup, under system, of application widgets along with everything else you need want backed up. Wipe and flash. Do your full restore of all your backups. Then while still in titanium backup choose application widgets individually and choose restore. Then do a hot boot. On Synergy that option is in the restart menu, or you can use the titanium reboot option. By doing that I get full widget restore. Read this solution searching google for restore android widgets.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] piiman:
Oh cool i will check that out

After looking into this I can't for the life on find any "application widgets" option and I'm not sure what you mean by "under system". Is googled it and it pretty much says the same but I have no option to backup widgets anywhere that I can find.

Can you clarify please?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sfetaz:
Go into filters. Choose filter by type: system. Leave the rest as all. Press the check box. You will see everything that is a system app and setting. Application widgets will be there with a green color.
