Long story short I called sprint just to see when the jellybean update is going to hit the galaxy s3. The rep told me they will be pushing the update out between today and tomorrow. Do anyone else call BS on this?

Those links both refer to the international version; not to any US carrier. I am going to assume that it will still be some time before JB drops on any US variant.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] blackdragon79:
Funny you say that. Because a Rep promised me 450 bonus mins each month for two for not leaving. So i used the handy record call feature just in case she was lying.

I talked to a Sprint rep last night and he confirmed that they have Battletoads for the Wii. I'm getting my copy on Tuesday.

This says nothing about the US S3 only the international one
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 00mred00:
The update isn't in release stage yet. From what someone I know at Samsung showed me it is still being tested.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] promega:
failed promises, im not bitter

Sprint told me they would wave the activation fee, put a note in my account and all I would have to do is call them after purchasing the SIII. Called the, they said no note existed, they said they wouldn't. Meh. the phone costs 235, no 200 guys.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fzammetti:
The Sprint reps saying the update is coming I'd bet are thinking of the Nexus S update, which n ow DOES appear to be coming this week:

...which is even MORE annoying because both my kids have Nexus S 4G's and how DARE they get JB before their parents do?!? :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tft:
it doesn't make much sense why they wouldn't update the better selling S3 first and help promote it, rather than updating a less desirable phone first.. but hey, nothing new, sprint always does everything backwards..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 00mred00:
For those not aware, nexus devices receive updates from Google....thus why they are first
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] syngensmyth:
I no longer lust after a Sprint update ... love CM10 even though nightly build. It's my first custom ROM and I am very impressed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] The Root:
Easier to update a phone that supports fewer features.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Gersonian:
Not true in this case. Google does not support Sprint's version of the Nexus since the drivers are proprietary. Sprint will have Google's build to work from, but its up to the carrier and manufacturer to do the update in this case...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ricocollege:
And bingo was his name O.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 00mred00:
Wasn't aware of that. The information we received is that Google would be pushing the update this week and users can not initiate it.

I may have read that wrong tho

[General Questions and Answers] walletless:
I have gotten fascinated by several Chinese phones lately, and plan to own one with Straighttalk or simpletalk soon.

I want to use this thread discussing the top Chinese phones by price/budget. I have added some names below - please suggest more. I also intend to put the supported bands, so people looking to use it on specific carriers will have best luck with these phones.

(Copied from a different thread:) For AT&T, the band is 850/1900 MHz for both GSM and WCDMA 3G. For T-Mobile 850/1900 MHz GSM and 1700 MHz for WCDMA 3G. If your phone is WCDMA 900/2100, 3G will not work for both AT&T and T-mobile. You must have at least one band that matches with your network. For best 3G coverage, both bands must be supported by the phone.

[General Questions and Answers] myxal:
Hi, did you ever get any of the chinese phones? If so, wher did you buy your phone?

I'm fairly settled on the upcoming 1GB RAM version of G2, but I'm having trouble deciding where to actually make the purchase. I've been in talks with etotalk, and while they don't seem to be out to scam people, it has become apparent that specs on pre-release devices are totally unreliable and should be triple-checked with their salespeople prior to purchase.

On XDA, it's apparent that FCT has some very bad rep and only people with single-digit post-count come to their defense. (Yeah.. totally trustworthy. :rolleyes: )

So, have you any experience to share?
[General Questions and Answers] SammiSaysHello:
I wouldn't trust my money with those phones :( it's much better to save up and buy an official, 'real' phone for the security and support :)
[General Questions and Answers] myxal:
Jman, you're entitled to your opinion. I value your input. ;) I'm not looking at the chinese phones because of the money, and would in fact gladly pay up to twice their price if they were on purchase here, with EU-mandated consumer protection and warranties.

The reason I'm looking at them is because I have looked at the offerings from the brands established-in-the-western-world and they're all pathetic. Show me a dual-core dual-SIM phone with screen no larger than 4.0", and a battery with a capacity at least 1.7 Ah.

I don't think there is anything telling the script to extract the system files from the zip, i think there should be a similar line to these but for system instead of data.......
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spudata:

yep Scratch is right. U need to add this:

package_extract_dir("system", "/system");

set_perm(0, 0, 0644, "/system/lib/[libfile]");

I dont think u need to add perm for a lib file, but if u do use 644 i think.

Hazou
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spudata:
Cheers guys but I've had a look in the zip file and there's 2 folders. META-INF and data. The data structure goes:- data/data/com.viber.voip and inside that there are the four folders for the app. They are "databases", "files", "lib" and "shared_prefs". All the folders except "lib" get copied over which is extremely weird. There's nothing waiting to go in the system partition, it's all on the data partition.

I modified walkman bootanimation from mrsatan original thread Here

I added sound "original made by me" and some pictures I edited again

All thanks to mrsatan for great work :D

Installation :

Copy file to system, fix permission "rw-r--r--" and move file to folder media

Reboot your device & Enjoy!!! :D

Note : bootanimation volume depends on the volume of media

Tips for you add sound on bootanimation :

mp3 format to prepare your file and rename it to bootanim.mp3, and then you add to the bootanimation.zip using winrar or 7zip, and change the compression level to store in winrar or 7zip & Enjoy for Bootanimation with sound :D

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Christopher_M:
I'm running 4.1.1 on my I9020A rooted. Stock Rom and Kernel. I searched the forums and the web, and every article I find gives instructions on going back to 2.3.X, THEN removing root. I don't want to go back, in fact I only want to un-root shortly, then go back to a rooted phone.

So my question is, Can I go through the locking steps of un-rooting, but leave the current ROM (4.1.1) installed?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oldblue910:
Delete, IN THIS ORDER:

/system/Superuser.apk

/system/xbin/su

/system/bin/su

Reboot your phone.

Root gone. If you want to root again, go to Androidsu.com, download the appropriate zip file, flash it, and you have root again.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Christopher_M:
Thanks for the quick reply! Should I additionally go through the fastboot steps of locking the bootloader as well?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
No. Unlocked bootloader and root are 2 different things.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oldblue910:
What he said. Unless you're returning your phone for warranty repair or you're worried about security (like me), there's no reason to lock your bootloader.

The other two files you listed I have found.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
That's the one. Delete it, it's the app to manage the su rights. su in xbin/bin is the binary for SuperUser
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Christopher_M:
Ok, so I attempted to unroot. I opened es file explorer (Which launched with SU rights) and I was able to delete com.noshufou.android.su-1.apk in data/app/.

Then when I tried to delete su in /xbin, I was denied. Tried deleting su in /bin as same results. Denied.

Any thoughts?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayjay3333:

You need to delete su binary via adb. Don't believe you can delete it while phone is under Android...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Christopher_M:
I'm new to android / linux. Been a Windows admin for 15+ years. I thought it not possible to delete SU while using SU, but I figured I'd try anyway. So ADB requires phone in FASTBOOT mode, correct?

[Galaxy S II Accessories] djpharoah:
I'm trying to find a source on whether I can replace the trim know my phone since it's been dinged from the previous owner as well as myself.

I've found some the link to the replacement screen thread but it doesn't say if the lcd is part of the top or how to get it out? I've seen some oem housings online but not sure if I can remove my lcd which is fine and put it in the newer housing?

Is there glue or adhesive that holds it in?

Thanks for any help.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] supermult:
You just need to unscrew the backplate and exchange it.

No glue no adhesives or something. it just sits there.

It will take about 10 minutes or so..

Here is a picture of the part:

Mine fell out of its place, the last i had the phone opened and i´m to lazy to put it back.

Edit: sorry for that huuuuge picture.. blame our 8mp camera.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] djpharoah:
Sorry - but I think we have a misunderstanding. I'm talking about the chrome trim around the entire LCD not the camera.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] supermult:
oh.. honestly i don´t think that the part you described is chrome. Atleast not on my GSII

and the thing i posted is the shiny ring around the headphone plug.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Nyssa1104:
OP its not chrome its plastic..

1) replace the whole screen housing with with working parts from say ebay

2) buy a whole SGS2 housing unit and plus top screen ( this option you'll need to remove youe current lcd screen and once replaced in new housing the top screen needs to be bonded to housing. (M3 double sided tape or a thin silcon glue)

3) take it to a service centre

4)keep it as it is..

as par your question

Is there glue or adhesive that holds it in? Yes.

Top screen will need to be heated with hot air to release it from its bond.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] djpharoah:
Thanks - that's what I wanted to hear. So it's more effort than I'd like to spend on it. Looks like I'll just move the phone to try something else.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] whitelightnin3006:
Ok, i finally got this thing rooted. I have a few questions about this, and these may be more ICS questions than Photon questions.

Do I have to do anything to turn on 4g? I cant find anywhere to do this. I liked the toggle buttons that showed at the top of older version of android, anyway to get those back? I ask because i was in an area yesterday where 4g service is available, but i never saw the phone automatically change to 4g.

Also, a program that i have used alot in the past is Roam Control. This is so that when i was at my hunting land, i could set my phone to roam only. I noticed more options in Preferred Network Mode. Is this how to set my phone to roam only? Because i installed Roam Control, and it doesnt work for this phone.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] tetrabyt:
Check in development for the toggles. Still no 4G toggle. But rangerbry did an awesome job porting the others over.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] swintec:
In the mobile networks section of the phone there are options, in your case, "CDMA" or "CDMA/LTE". I would think if you leave CDMA/ LTE selected the phone will connect to LTE when it or IF it is available. If not it will simply stay on 3G/CDMA.

How did you know the area you wer ein actually had LTE? Sprint seems to be launching a market when there is like 20% coverage, so good chunks of an area will not see it light up yet on the phones.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] whitelightnin3006:
not lte but 4g. i know because my other phone got 4g service there. It seems like if u leave this phone on automatic, its not actually automatic cause it wont pickup 4g. which option do i use for roam only?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] swintec:
Which other phone? Was it WiMax capable? This phone will only do LTE, not Sprints WiMax. Both are different forms of 4G for Sprint.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Would be really nice to have some way to toggle 4g on/off... I know my buddy's Evo3D (yes, wimax...) can easily toggle it on/off. He said his battery life is WAY better when he leaves his wimax radio off, and I would imagine leaving the LTE radio off would be beneficial.

As there isn't a whole lot of Sprint rollout for LTE right now, turning it off permanently isn't a bad thing... But if I'm traveling or just curious - it would be nice to have this toggle!

Yea, it seems like this is the only method right now. Just set the network to "CDMA" and it will only be able to connect to 3g. I don't see any change in the 4g status, any way to verify this?

I was actually surprised at how granular my buddy's 3vo was with 4g - it was almost like wifi, had everything separate (and this is stock...) So I'm really hoping we can sort out something similar - because I don't see how wimax and LTE are different in these respects - no?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] kcrudup:
Nah, as I suspect that unlike WiMax (which was a separate chipset) the LTE radio is combined with the CDMA radio on the chipset (and maybe even the GSM radio, if the chipset's advanced enough- I know there's combined CDMA/GSM radios).
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
That would suck. So far my battery life on this device is really awful... I've only been awake for 2 hours and I'm down 20%. Granted I have been playing with it more than I usually would (under "normal" usage patterns... new phone and all :p), but damn! I wonder how long this thing will be able to stream music...
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] tetrabyt:
Streams music for the better part of 8hrs for me while at work. And if it isn't music or videos, I'm talking on the phone. I have you tried smart actions yet?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
I need to play more with the Smart Actions. The only one I have setup now is an overnight one if I forget to plug it in.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] tetrabyt:
