Hello. I'm in the process of giving my wife my galaxy s3, I would rather have a pure Google phone. I am unsure as to whether it would be wise to get the nexus now or hang tight until a little later in the year to see the next generation Google phone even though it maybe several months away.

I would appreciate any advice. Thank you

There is a thread like this every day. Check some of the other threads as your question has been answered in every way, shape, form possible!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pwc realtor:
It depends on what you can pick one up for. I picked up an Unlocked GSM Galaxy Nexus earlier this month had been barely used but came with the box and accessories (still sealed) for $250 and I haven't been able to find any others used for less than $300.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jeff210:
What are your options? You are giving her your current phone. The nexus from Google is $350 New. That is almost as low as an upgrade price for a lot of phones.

So I've been hacking my atrix for a year and it had this issue with the battery where when you had a custom rom it would charge past like 95 or 97% does the s2 have the same issue?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jack man:
I came to the S2 from the Captivate. The captivate would charge to 100 then when unplugged sometimes would immediatell drop 2-3 percent.

I have never had this problem, or one like yours at all on the S2. Mine charges to 100 then stays there for quite a while after unplugged.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nick281051:
The only battery related issue we have is that on a reboot sometimes the device appears to lose most of its battery (unfixable bug with our fuel gauge). After that it will either not drain at all for a long time or it might go up a couple of digits.

Thanks for the feed back and also I have no idea what cause the atrix problem
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dsmboost:
Isn't the "fix" for this to remove your battery for a couple minutes and after putting it back in, charge it to 100%? I've had the issue where the battery percentage would drop significantly after a reboot and after using this method, it seems to work fine until I flash another rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nick281051:
The only "fix" is do have it plugged in while you reboot it.

I had the Atrix and from my understanding over there that's not an atrix issue. It's built into the code of the phone to prevent "over charging" Stock roms would show 100% because they didn't want average consumers freaking out. But they removed it in custom ROMs so battery % would show correctly

Hi guys

I have nearly bricked my phone and dont know if its still bricked as I am working thru since last 6hrs on it but no much gain, some people have tried helped me but I just want if it is possible to do..

I had some problems with sd-card and trying to resolve that things started breaking up one by one...

so how I can recover that or if I could ever find "recovery-RA-hero-v1.7.0.1" zip file flashable from sdcard?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] phnord:
First, an explanation of my situation:

I bought a Galaxy Note at the beginning of the summer. All-in-all, I was pretty happy with it. It was a much improved experience over my Atrix, which was in poor condition by the time I switched over.

I wasn't able to root at first as I only had access to a Mac, and there were innumerable issues in doing so - Odin was PC only, WINE ports of it failed to recognize the phone, the Mac equivalent of Odin (I am spacing on its name right now) didn't work with the Note, etc.

When ICS was officially released, I tried to update to it via Kies. Kies on Mac is a ****storm. It's incredibly buggy, toolbars and menus don't display correctly, it has trouble recognizing the device, etc. I was unable to get it to make a backup, but I eventually managed to load the ROM onto it...

... and that's when the real problems started.

My battery life has turned to crap. Everything runs incredibly slow. Everything's super buggy. Apps force-close all the time. My MicroSD card ended up getting corrupted - half of my music disappeared, of what was left only 1/3rd actually worked. I just reformatted my MicroSD, backing everything important up, etc.

I've been dealing with this for around a month now, as whenever I come to the forum I have no idea where to even start to fix this. I'm up for wiping everything and starting over, and I do have access to a Windows XP machine now so that may be easier... but I don't even know where to go from there.

---------------------------------------------------​

That's why I'm here - I need advice. I need advice as to how to clean up the current mess my phone has turned into and start over. I need advice as to what ROM to try and how to go about loading it. I need advice as to whether to root and how to do so. I need advice as to whether to install a CWM, which one to use and how to go about doing so.

Here is what I am looking for, ordered from most important to least:

Battery life is important to me. I loved how long the battery lasted before my attempted upgrade to ICS... now it lasts maybe 1/3 of the time.

I want something that will work - I want stability. No more constant force-quits of every freaking app.

A smooth, fast UI would be preferable.

Feature packed. I like the thought of cutting edge features of newer (or custom) versions of Android being incorporated - but this is far less important to me than battery life and stability.

My preferred method of installation would be using my Mac - but as I said, Windows XP is a very easy option for me as well. I could also install a newer version of Windows if need be, but would prefer not to go through that...

Thanks in advance for any help, advice and recommendations! ^_^
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Techno Viking:
Get Odin and root your phone...

Download and flash TWRP... http://teamw.in/project/twrp

download a ROM of your choice

boot into the recovery ..wipe--->>cache/dalvik cache/ wipe ROM/factory reset..>then go to the install and flash your ROM...

These are very rudimentary instructions I hope they helped a bit...good luck

Do you have an idea for what ROM you like or want? Couple of great ROMs..for stockish check out flappjaxxx's for jellybean check out manelscout4life..stable and fast
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
Techno is onto the correct answer, unless of course you are truly wanting the stock version back.

Kies and OTA updates are often flawed, and give the end user exactly the type of problems you are stating.

However, if you want a return to stock, the information can be found in the "note super everything thread" located as a sticky at the top of the general note section.

But I do agree with techno, that a root and flash of a quality custom rom is the way to go......g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] phnord:
Thanks a lot, both of you!

As to what ROM I want, honestly that's one of the reasons I have been procrastinating so much -- I have no idea whatsoever. There's such an overwhelming number of options out there, of basic flavors (ICS, JB, GB, CM7, etc.) and tens of derivatives of each one made by different people. I have no idea where to even start making such a decision.

I can tell you this much. On my Atrix, I started with the stock Motoblur-Froyo, flashed GingerBlur, disliked it's bugginess but dealt with it for almost a year, then flashed the CM7-based Neutrino. I wasn't very happy with how skimpy the ROM was but stuck with it until I got my Note. I was pretty satiated with the stock ROM, but decided to upgrade to ICS due to the promise of a better UI, increased functionality and especially a faster camera. While my experience with ICS was terrible, I could see myself enjoying a functional, non-buggy version...

Basically, I have no idea what ROM or even what base OS version I am looking for. That said, I do know the criteria that matter to me, as stated prior:

Battery Life

Stability

Smooth UI

Cutting-Edge Feature Packed

I can't really think of any features I am specifically looking for, other than under-the-radar tethering and top-notch camera speed & functionality .

As I have no attachment to any specific OS version, suppose that would mean that if battery life, stability and smoothness issues are equal amongst ROM variants, I would be looking for a Jellybean ROM - as it would be most packed with new features... right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Techno Viking:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1664980

That is the best stockish ICS experience you can get and keeps all the functionality of your phone including the spen. He also offers a jellybean ROM but honestly to find the best JB rom for you just read through the threads read and REREAD THE OP of those ROMs..jellybean is fun and cool but not 101% stable yet..people still getting random reboots and some are losing there APN settings..so maybe just flashing ics and playing with those ROMs is best for you for now..FYI the above rom is smooth as silk and great battery life :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
Again , I agree with Techno, and the rom he posted is the one I'm using to type this.

Flappjaxxx is a fine developer, and he has packed this UCLF6 build with full functionality , and much more.

He is , and will continue to be my top pick for quality builds and performance ...g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] phnord:
This is all really wonderful advice - thanks again!

I guess I have a few last questions:

What is the best way to root at this point? If I recall, there are multiple ways to root via Odin... is there a specific one you would recommend for my current situation (read: current buggy ICS firmware)? A link would be very much appreciated, as the roadmap thread is a bit... overwhelming with all of the options.

Are there any MODs you recommend I install after I have my new flappjaxxx ROM in place? Will tethering work off the bat? Will all of the Gapps (Gmail, Navigation, etc.) be there for me to use? Will I need to install anything else, or is there any recommendations that you have?

Thanks again a ton - you've both been enormously helpful!

Would it be possible to do something similar for the Eris? I poked around in the zip of the kernel, but wasn't really sure what I was doing. Or if someone could just point me in the right direction, I'd give it a try.

I'd imagine you should be able to look through /usr/keylayout in the rom zip and achieve the same results. I can't say for sure though.

# key 105 DPAD_LEFT WAKE_DROPPED
# key 106 DPAD_RIGHT WAKE_DROPPED

Is this what I'm looking for? What do I do with it? The same stuff was also in some of the other files, but those seemed to be more onscreen keys. I apologize if I'm being a complete idiot.

ETA: Looking at the KeyEvent(??) when I actually use the trackball, it doesn't have a scan code associated with it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jaebond:
I've learned a little bit more and it turns out that the trackball is now a motionevent rather than a keyevent. Does anyone know where the phone gets its motionevent codes from?
[Droid Eris Android Development] bftb0:
Might take less time to buy a "parts" Eris off of Ebay and just swap out the trackball assembly. (Unless you want to get your feet wet with building kernels and re-packing boot images anyway.)

Sounds scary, but it's really a trivial repair - the entire trackball and its' sensors are a single assembly that literally fall out of its location after you open up the case - no soldering, no cutting of wires, none of that.

I dont get why I have flashed the same firmware file previously and all went well and then I tried again another time and I get the bootloop. Why does that happen if its exactly the same file. Can it be the computer? I am using a mini netbook. And it can get slow at time when I am multiasking alot as it only has 1gb of ram. THat is the only thing I can think off I mean its the same file the same cable the same phone. Only difference is its being flashed over something different then before.

However, my coworker did the same thing on his S3 and still got the error. This issue is specific to Rogers network, as other people used their unlocked Rogers S3 on other carriers and did not see the error, but once they put in Rogers SIM back in, it was back.

Its states rogers and samsung are working on a fix for it. Its probably more noticeable on the rogers network than others because they are currently working on expanding there network in most of Canada therefore its probably causing signal drops every now and then.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread but I purchased an unlocked S3 about 3 weeks ago and I just got this error today. I was not able to make any phone calls until I used the flight mode trick. I thought this problem had been fixed? I'm with fido so it's part of the Rogers family.

Does anyone else still experience this issue?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] actng:
haven't had this error since the last time i posted which was September

although i find it more often that my phone would lose reception in places or situations where before i would have reception, but just SIM error.

so my guess is that the phone hasn't yet reconnected to the network after losing reception (from underground parking etc) and before it was "showing" reception when it had none and came back with SIM error. now it just flats out says what's going on, which is no reception.

I just got an HTC One X, and it's already been rooted. The recovery is TWRP and that's all I know. I'm trying to flash a ROM, but first I need to flash the boot.img, and that's the problem. I can't. There's an automated process, and I followed the steps, got into fastboot usb but the program just sits on waiting for device. Also, when I boot into fastboot it only shows fastboot in red, until I move down towards power off, then it changes into fastboot usb. So, I have no idea what's going on, or if I'm missing something since I wasn't the one who rooted it.
