[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xperiax8user2012:
hello i am new to this forum!!! well i have a problem with my sd card. my x8 is rooted and with custom rom! until yesterday it was alright but suddenly it stopped working on phone!!! on settings it says that it is not available!!! But when i went to xrecovery there it was ok! i could use it tou flash a new rom and wiping my phone in hope it would be available on phone but it isn't! What should i do?i mounted the sd card on xrecovery but nothing happened. i formated on pc but still nothing!!! on settings on phone it says delete content of sd card or something like that! i pressed it but it says sd card has been removed!!! please help me what should i do?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deedii:
Can you tell me what ROM do you use?

Can you also please test the sdcard into other device :)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xperiax8user2012:
i was using gingerdx and suddently it happened that!! after trying everything i knew i put sd card on pc copied fde +4 and with the same sd card that my phone does not recognise i flashed that rom but still my phone does not recognise it but xrecovery does!!
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deedii:
That is strange. Can you go to Setting the Storage Setting and try manually mounting the SDcard? If the problem still exist please go back to the stock ROM and see if the sdcard still wont recognize :)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xperiax8user2012:
well when i unmount my sd card it says sd card removed but when plug it back in it does not say anything!! is there a setting on xrecovery that i should do before going back to stock rom?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deedii:
Hmmm well as far as my knowledge is concern no. Nwei why you still use xrecovery? Flashing latest rom with xrecovery will surely gives you an error use clockwordmod recovery instead. Maybe thats what causes your problem, Im not certain.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xperiax8user2012:
well should i give it a try and flash again the fde +4 rom with clockworld mod and wiping everything data cache and etc???
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deedii:
Well ya lets see. We cant figure it out if you dont try :)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xperiax8user2012:
well i wiped data and cache and reflashed the rom but still nothing!! the same problem!!!
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deedii:
Then I advice to flash the stock rom and kernel..
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xperiax8user2012:
ok i'll use sony pc companion and i will inform you about what happens
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xperiax8user2012:
i used pc companion and the sd card problem is fixed!!!! so now i have to reroot my phone again!!!!xD thanks for the help :D :D
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deedii:
No worries just always have some backup. :) enjoy a lot of possibilities of your device :)

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rab1412000:
I backed up my 508 contacts using a vcf file when I transferred from my sgs2 to the sgs3.

However when I import the file to my sgs3 contacts, I see it importing 508 contacts but only 140 show on my contacts list.

In fact some names i see during the importation process do not appear on contacts after. They are also not found in the groups tab.

What could be wrong and how do I get my full list of contacts back.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdafly:
I used Android Sync WiFi manager, free app on marketplace, worked fine
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rab1412000:
How exactly did you use it
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] E_Goldstein:
This doesnt help but why on earth aren't people using Google to save there contacts......you have to set up a google account to use the market anyway
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rab1412000:
I tried to import the vcf file directly to Gmail but it didn't work.

I also tried syncing my old sgs 2 contacts with Gmail but it took long so I've always stuck with vcf backup. It's worked well for me. Till now.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Visentinel:
I Did a custom rom for a friend of mine and during the importing I had major problems. Tracked it down to one of the contacts having special characters in it, the # symbol.

Hope this helps.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slee88:
best to auto sync with Gmail
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Visentinel:
I won't trust that. Once doing a root and custom rom for one friend of mine I lost all his contacts coz the merge with Google lied to me, had the G letter but upon booting in the new rom no contacts synced when he added the Google account. Lucky for me he did not get totally pissed off with me :-\
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rab1412000:
So I used my friend's sgs2 (my old phone) to load my contacts and sync with Gmail. It kept on fc'ing but I was able to get around 380 contacts. Since I have a lot of duplicates i think this was a good number to recover despite the constant fcs.

The sgs2 was able to read all of my contacts, but I remember syncing my contacts with Facebook profile pictures thru samsungs hub and another third party app. This may have made the vcf partially unreadable by the sgs3 and Gmail.
[HTC One X] ben-fisher-bro:
Pros and cons of each and how much is the effect?

Using the Viper 2.1.0 rom with the stock kernal.

Thoughts?
[HTC One X] redfrog1243:
Go with 7m

Sent from my fauxed HOX running ViperX!
[HTC One X] Gormsen:
I'm also running on ViperX, and the main thing I notices when going from 007m to 007u was an increase in Benchmark scores. On Quadrant I got an increase from 4900 to 6500, on Antutu I went from 11.000 to 12000+, besides that I havn't noticed much.

However when I'm playing Horn my temps gets up to about 53 on battery and 75 on cpu. Degrees measured in Celsius :)

- I'm going to flash the 007m version of the kernel to see if that makes a difference :)

Okay, so I have tried the 007m and when playing Horn the battery heats up to 50 degrees and the processor to 70 degrees.

The temps are a bit better but it still gets way to hot!
[HTC One X] ben-fisher-bro:
I don't really game and my HOX gets 12700~ on Antutu anyways.

Might install it and break 13k, me and my roomate see who can break the highest score with the best rom (no OC)
[HTC One X] redfrog1243:
But faux7u is OC.

[Galaxy S III General] lelinuxien52:
Hi,

Sammbile.com talk about International Galaxy S3 LTE (GT-I9305) running Jelly Bean.

It actualy run with XXDLH9 firmware.
[Galaxy S III General] btemtd:
Yes I have seen it on a few websites I9305..... Will probably be released in a couple months
[Galaxy S III General] lelinuxien52:
But have you seen the video on sammobile.com about it ? I can see (while stopping the video and if my eyes work fine) firmware baseband XXDLH9 but kernel date doesn't match with the last leak available today. (Aug Wed 22, ... 2012)
[Galaxy S III General] iandooley:
Here's link for anyone interested in the hands on video.

I'd like to think that it means that the current S3 JB release is getting nearer

Black Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE with Jelly Bean hands-on
[Galaxy S III General] EdgaBimbam:
If it will come with 2gb ram.... FU samsung...
[Galaxy S III General] btemtd:
I saw the specs it does come with 2gb ram.. I swear F U SAMSUNG is an understatement they should do a recall and upgrade our phones the Fkn C nT s
[Galaxy S III General] jithendra194:
I expect the jellybean ota three days from now...
[Galaxy S III General] the2rrell:
This is why i think the International Note 2 will also be LTE quadcore.

so i will be getting that, i already have an S3......i dont want another one.
[Galaxy S III General] EdgaBimbam:
Omg if it is true, s3 is my last samsung phone... common released at the start with 1gb, later they saw that it isnt enough and have put 2gb ram....
[Galaxy S III General] arjunpaliath:
It does come with 2GB RAM. I agree a recall and upgrade would be good, but ain't gonna happen..!!!

LOL!!!
[Galaxy S III General] the2rrell:
thats another reason i am not getting it........im not giving them 2 times the money for a phone they should have done right from the Jump

So i will wait for the Note 2 for the international LTE stuff. yall can keep the sgs3 lte samsung
[Galaxy S III General] EdgaBimbam:
I could pay+50 euros if they could change to 2gb rams but common it is samsung, this company dont give a fak on consumers :@
[Galaxy S III General] arjunpaliath:
So true bro...!!! But I suppose it is European and will it be available in Asia or specifically atleast in India? Hard to tell...

But I will consider selling one of my GS3's to get either the i9305 or note 2...!!!
[Galaxy S III General] btemtd:
They Should give us an upgrade option $100 - $200 I would pay Other wise I am going to loose the plot on these *****sss, I have a feeling samsung roam these forums.... SO they need to see what we are saying because i aint going to be happy with a better S3 in my reach but they charge us another $750 .. OHhhhh :eek: mateeee .. angerrr rissSING

Im in australia and I dont care if its european if it is capable on our networks which it would be im not gunna b happy
[Galaxy S III General] arsenix:
Im a bit confused too..

BUT

If they fix the homescreen redraw problem in the official JB release for the i9300 then the current 1GB is enough for me.

Okay, my gs3 will store less app in the background, but quad core cpu is fast enough to open them again.
[Galaxy S III General] graffixnyc:
if the LTE bands are compatible with ATT I'm definitely going to sell my GS3 and get the 2gb LTE version
[Galaxy S III General] Maesedroid:
OH GOOD! Really Samsung do you have to do this??? What a way to play with us!!!
[Galaxy S III General] EdgaBimbam:
We could make petition for compensation or smt like that... (ofc we wont get anything from samsung atleast we will give them " nice" advertisement
[Galaxy S III General] btemtd:
I have been hearing so much about this Home screen re-draw, ummm what is it I havent noticed anything maybe I am not looking right can someone advise me on what it is? maybe its happening and i am ignoring it thinking its normal

---------- Post added at 02:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:11 AM ----------

yes would be good !
[Galaxy S III General] graffixnyc:
another quick video and better look at the about screen

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=206fX84c3nc&feature=youtu.be&a

it is the 9305

Also found this, not sure how creditable it is but they are showing an Oct release date, along with the other specs

http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=3789&c=samsung_gt-i9305_galaxy_s_iii_lte_eu
[Galaxy S III General] btemtd:
Yes I was looking at that site yesterday, made me angry lol will see in october shall wee
[Galaxy S III General] lelinuxien52:
I'm angry too. We have bought phone the last two months for about 650€ and F**king Samsung will release LTE/2GB devices one month (perhaps because of Apple "5" rumors ...).

If Sammy sell GT-I9305 before the end of the year, bye bye Samsung.
[Galaxy S III General] EdgaBimbam:
Also if price will be lower than first release month of 1gb versions, i wont buy any samsung phone for sure...
[Galaxy S III General] Kpkpkpkp:
I can only hope they offer a reasonably priced RAM upgrade for existing customers
[Galaxy S III General] EdgaBimbam:
They will give u best deal ever, send them your s3 and u will get 30% discount coupon for newer s3 :)
[Galaxy S III General] ciscostud:
Ya it's a bit of a drag. I plan on selling my S3 to an overpaying sucker and buy the note 2. It's an upgrade I want anyway.
[Galaxy S III General] Bl!GhT:
Isnt the LTE version a DUAL CORE CPU with 2 gb Ram ?
[Galaxy S III General] the2rrell:
No it says its an international quad with LTE, if i am not mistaken.

SOOOO why even get the sgs3 2gig. i will just get the Note 2 that im sure will have the quad LTE as well.....If they bring out the SGS3 Internaional with Quad LTE and the Note 2 Does NOT get quad LTE right off the bat.....I WILL NEVER BUY SAMSUNG AGAIN. period
[Galaxy S III General] EdgaBimbam:
For US yes, for germany or europe...whatever... it is quad core+lte+2gb ram
[Galaxy S III General] slaphead20:
Anyone get the feeling they are pushing this through to beat Apple to the European lte market....for legal reasons?
[Galaxy S III General] btemtd:
Guys I couldn't resist i just had a word with my phone wiz loll they will not give any upgrades it will be like a special upgraded version of the S3 Just like the S2 when it came out with 4G later on....

so I ummm....... i ordered one lol
[Galaxy S III General] firaX:
LTE will surely have other drawbacks, such as worse battery life (plus its thicker). The reason US version has Snapdragon S4 is cause its on the chip. This version will have a separate power hungry chip. Not too excited about that. I also find 21Mbit fast enough for a PHONE...my home internet is slower than this lol.

About the RAM: Well, 1GB is surely enough to run Jelly Bean. What eats the ram are official Samsung bloatware roms. Let's just wait for CM10 to get stable and be happy.
[Galaxy S III General] EdgaBimbam:
I think that they only now realised that they failed with s3 1gb ram version. Even latest leak shows that they are trying to get as much as possible available rams because 1gb ram with touchwizz and jb wouldnt be so smooth with nice multitasking

---------- Post added at 08:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:01 PM ----------

I think u are able to disable 4g if u want. Still the main whinning reason- RAM. It sucks that fans like me got pwned by samsung....
[Galaxy S III General] got-petrol:
If after jb and Google release there next updated os and it needs 2 gig where going to be stuck
[Galaxy S III General] Skander1998:
You bought a 1GB phone, you knew it was 1GB and still bought it, and now you are complaining because they released a NEW phone.

Seriously?
[Galaxy S III General] SimonCraddock:
Precisely what I thought.

Most Phones evolve soon after release, new colours, extra ram, different clock speeds etc. Its the way thing work in a fast paced industry.
[Galaxy S III General] EdgaBimbam:
if i would knew that s3 will come with 2gb rams,i wouldnt buy 1gb..... NEW phone? it is upgraded s3 which isnt so honest from samsung side for us- customers, which bought s3 only with 1gb....
[Galaxy S III General] ciscostud:
If I knew I could have lte with quad I would have never bought a s3. I'm crying like a baby now. If the phone comes out late October its been just about 6 months. Cruel unfair world. ..why...why....
[Galaxy S III General] Lpuboy87:
the U.S. LTE phones came with 2gb RAM which were released in July.......The best model to get was the Korean version. Came with LTE and 2gb RAM quad core
[Galaxy S III General] ianeb:
I agree that phones do evolve soon after but shouldn't this soon! The s3 hasn't been out that long, the one x longer but that hasn't seen an update, neither has the iPhone. Without starting another apple flame, at least when you buy an iPhone you know it won't change for at least 12 months. I hate apple so no comments about me being a fan boy!!

I do feel this is a little harsh considering the short amount of time this s3 has been on the market, they now decide it would be better for the phone to have 4G and 2gb of ram...

Nothing we can do though! Apart from take a hit and spend a little more for the new one, but which is what most techy fans will do!
[Galaxy S III General] aydc:
We all thought 1 GB was enough before we bought this phone. Never had RAM problems with my 1 GB SGS2.

I don't know what went wrong with SGS3, maybe the bigger screen resolution is eating up more RAM, but 1 GB doesn't even start covering it. Launcher redraws, background apps getting restarted each time you switch to them, browser reloading the pages again etc. etc.

I have no idea how they couldn't figure this out in testing. They simply screwed us buy selling us these defective 1 GB phones.
[Galaxy S III General] btemtd:
That is why I bought my phone outright and am going to pre order the new gt-i9305 soon as I get it I will sell my phone which is still in perfect UN scratched condition I'm hoping a 64 gb version comes out otherwise I will jus get the 32gb . That extra 1gb ram on the quad core should make multi tasking awesome

But honestly this phone is perfect for the normal user it is faster then the gs 2 even with the bigger screen and better display. With the latest jb release I have around 250mb spare ram and I have lots of apps.

It is in no way a defective phone like someone is sayin . I just have my eyes set on the gt-i9305 since the Korean version came out I knew I was going to get one.
[Galaxy S III General] ianeb:
I'm sure Samsung doesn't want a backlash after the whole apple debacle but if users are that bothered I'm sure this community is a big enough platform to at least get a response from Samsung....?

I for one would like the newer model especially now 4G is getting off the ground in the UK plus I'd really like a black s3 :D

The s3 is currently selling for around £360+ on the bay so I reckon you will be £150-200 short! That's a lot of money for a 1gb ram upgrade and access to a network that is only available on orange/t mobile until the licenses are auctioned next year!!
[Galaxy S III General] sebarkh:
I don't think buying i9305 is a good idea, because it will not get such the active development on xda, and you will end up with one gig more RAM but few good roms...

This one more Gb doesn't make a big difference...

If any. Ask those who have two phones American and intl version if they see any difference.

Despite the popular belief It is Really hard to use all memory. There are also other factors making redraws...

And remember that jelly bean leak roms bring more RAM. I have 808Mb with last leak. Almost 50m more.. Good.
[Galaxy S III General] btemtd:
Yeah I'm not that worried if I do get or not but because I have friend which works with phone he has great sources I won't be out of pocket that much trust me only reason I will get it is because he will import it so I said might aswell get me one aswell. I hope it will be same framework as 9300 so I can use same Roms
[Galaxy S III General] mwatson:
Yes seriously. I never thought the phone would run like **** with 1gb of ram. The S2 way out performs the s3 in real day usage with its 1gb.

I'd be complaining too because the ROM for this is too hungry for 1Gb.
[Galaxy S III General] Sword Fish:
I really don't understand most of the comments here. Would you all rather Samsung say "We could build a better phone but lets not release it for a year so people don't feel ripped off"? Technology evolves at a very fast pace and if you don't have the stomach for it, don't buy technology. Your phone still works the same as the day your bought it and you all said you loved it then, so why is it a peice of crap now, just because something new comes out?? Suck it up people and Samsung, keep evolving and building better phones! That's how we wipe Apple's a$$!
[Galaxy S III General] MattBooth:
Hmm,

In theory i9300 ROM's would still run fine on this phone because the software is bound to be the same. Kernels are a different matter.

I don't care anyway, since I use stock touchwiz, with Jelly Bean Domination, which most likely WILL run with this phone.

I'd be happier tat the extra 1GB RAM and 4G. I'm on a 2 year contract and have Unlimited data. If Three get 4G, which they most likely will, then I'll be a happy chappy.

However, I'm going to wait until then anyway. After 6 months my warranty is no longer with Three and is with Samsung, so we'll see.

---------- Post added at 05:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:25 PM ----------

Also, thicker phone, bigger battery?
[Galaxy S III General] Tomatoes8:
The HTC One XL and the HTC One XXL got announced pretty quickly. And I would hardly call giving less options a better thing. From my standpoint, they couldn't do a quad core LTE solution in time for launch and that's it.

I know that you guys will that they they should delay it then that is not an option either since they already delayed it once and they need the time before the iphone 5 comes out.

The only thing that I can actually fault Samsung for is spending all that money on the Olympics and that unveiling show rather than on R&D. I don't think the marketing helped as much as pure specs would. The GS2 didn't need the marketing, which means the GS3 needed it less.
[Galaxy S III General] btemtd:
My phone runs fine with 1gb +quad I mean offcourse it will be better with more ram but in no way is it running slow right now.
[Galaxy S III General] ianeb:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-19328653

Unless your on orange don't expect to have any use of 4G until next spring earliest...

I still don't think it's worth splashing in excess of £100 for an extra 1gb of ram, but that's just my opinion! I'd like it myself though but unless my gf decides to upgrade I can't see me swapping to the new version!

I think the current handset runs fine on 1gb, the nexus runs fine on the same as does the nexus 7.

I must say I'm more interested in the next nexus, maybe this new gs3 is some hint at what we can expect as I think Samsung will be expected involved again :D
[Galaxy S III General] b-eock:
Why are all of you complaining about the "extra RAM for the LTE version. It is reserved for the modem, just like the USA version.
[Galaxy S III General] sebarkh:
ARE YOU SURE????

WOW.

So how many MB available to user in US version?

Sent from my Galaxy SIII
[Galaxy S III General] btemtd:
No it wouldn't be all reserved for the modem I saw a compared international vs Korean and the Korean looked like it had just over 1gb spare ram in the app manager judging by how low the bar was . I will let u know when I receive mine but jus to make sure and lte is secondary which means u don't have to run on lte. But like every one is saying these phones run fine as they are android has good memory management plus when updates come through they will only get better
[Galaxy S III General] b-eock:
Not all of it correct. But it wouldnt be like 'I got an extra 1024 mbs of RAM woohoo'. GPU, CPU, system, Modem all have to have memory from the RAM. So dont expect a freaking performance increase that will kick the non LTE intl' phones butt.
[Galaxy S III General] streety12:
Really don't need to be scared of the new Google Android Update, 4.2 or something, I mean guys, even my HD2 works with ICS and I think there is even a JB port available.

Even ICS should be to much for a 512MB Ram device not even considering that the HD2 don't use the full 512MB. And I never had redraws or something like that. It´s not as fast as the galaxy s3 right, but thats because of the processor.

So calm down. We will get the same update as the LTE version of the galaxy s3. If not official then from the developer :)
[Galaxy S III General] sebarkh:
So let me know when you receive your phone... PM me about the available ram in us version.

Sent from my Galaxy SIII
[Galaxy S III General] mc01319:
But i saw a video and the USA version shows 1,62 GB ram with usually 700-800 MB free.

It has free almost all the RAM showing in the international version.

So i beleive that 1 GB more is a huge benefit.

edit: the used RAM is 700-800 ΜΒ so the free RAM is much bigger
