[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rokj:
Thank you all.

I used ES file exlorer.

---

I used to have n95 until now and was satisfied with it. Even though performance of s3 is amazing, I find it "little funny" for the price of over 600€ that I have to install few apps to just do "basic stuff" like:

- create shortcut on home screen for a file

- send SMS to more than 10 people at once

Regards,

Rok

My problem is...

At the first loading of flashed rom checkbox "Data Allowed" in the Mobile Network Settings ENABLED by default

I do not use unlimited Internet therefore

I need some flashable patch update.zip which I can flash after the rom for switching this option to DISABLE

It is Really? Where android save this setting?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
It would probably be a lot easier to use an app like tasker to crate a profile that on device startup disables mobile data. Then before you switch ROMs backup your tasker profiles and the taker app. Then when you switch ROMs just immediately reinstall tasker and restore the profile to disable mobile data and you should be all set.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twofish85:
I think it is longer than manually swith "Data enabled" option off, am I right?

May be my English so bad...

May be I need to start this topic in another Threed ? Advice to me.

Look, I download some Custom ROM (Cyanogen based for example, it does not matter). I wish to Flash it. After "wipe data" all my settings deleted. I flash the ROM. I know that by default data access over mobile network is ON. I should to take out my SIM card before first load of ROM. After first loading finished

I manually swith "Data enabled" option OFF. I turn OFF smartphone. I connect my SIM card. I turn ON smartphone.

So many stupid steps just to try and test new Custom ROM....

I wish some patch (like GAPPS) to flash it immediately after the flashed ROM for switching OFF "Data enabled" option

Help me please :crying:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
You could try changing the build.prop settings or something similar in radio configuration options and create a flashable zip (Look at this guide xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1611615) that modifies these properties using edify scripting that you could then turn into a flashable zip.

[General Questions and Answers] niiiiiik:
Hi everyone,

i want you to tell me if you have a chinese phone (with android of course) and what do you think about this, i mean:

chinese phones costs much less in comparison to other brand phones, and very often chinese phones have great hardware, for example my phone have 1ghz dual core processor, 8mpx (real) camera, 4.3 inch screen, and lots of other things.

i paid it around 150-200 euros (it was a gift). i don't know really how much i had to pay if it was samsung or other.

but the problems arrives with software: mine has android 2.3.5, there are some chinese app that i can't delete, absolutely no updates.

and the biggest problem: the root. it's a kind impossible to root my phone. i have the t9199+, i tried with z4root, superoneclick, gingerbreak, it doesn't work. there is a guide here in a forum but the links are broken and i'm waiting for the user to give new links. hoping he will be online soon.

so, why if this phones have great hardware everyone prefers to buy samsung or lg or others phones? (also i do, i have other phones, 3 nokia, 1 blackberry and 2 lg)

why software developers don't do anything for this phones?

lots are similar and with similar hardware so i think that the root can be possible with every phone if tested on one.

well tell me your opinion about this phones, why people don't buy it, why developers don't develope for it, and if you have a method how to root my divice (i'm sure it's not in the right section for this last question and i think nobody will reply to that but hope is the last to die LOL)

I once bought a phone from China, it was suppose to be Iphone 3g. Got the phone, was using windows mobile with a little bit of apple os. Camera was 1.3mp although it said on the box and around the camera 5mp. NO 3g network only edge. 4.3inch screen did not have multi touch. Take a pic with your phone and then check the details of the pick under resolution and post your pixel size. Also the real brand phones has HD recording.

[General Questions and Answers] niiiiiik:
well it's true, chinese copies of iphones or samsung or other phones are very poor.

i think anyway that android can't lie, so if in the settings of the camera is written 8mpx/5mpx and other options, it's true.

i have a doubt about the processor but without root i don't know how can i know what processor it have. but using the phone, i think is a good processor, never lags, the phone became hot when playing or webbing but it's good. do you know how can i know what processor it have?

the camera, trust me, it's 8mpx. yes it's not a good 8mpx but photos are quite good.

[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
It is not hard to make the info state it has something when it doesn't. I can make your phone state it is connected at 10g or that it has a 5gh processor.

One of the biggest issues with china bases phones is that they don't run official software. Take yours for instance. If you look at Google source code page you will not find android 2.3.5. This is also the reason for your issues with root. China based phones have a lot of recoding that makes alot of things not work with them as they don't understand the OS version.

[General Questions and Answers] bangjamz:
recently , chinese phone become popular in several countries, include mines.

its right to think, when you buy android phone, you have to know how to root it. if you dont know how to root your phone. try some other phone similiar to yours. for example the variant, or model, because sometimes, several brand would use the same hardware then they repack it with their brand.

and its also helpful, when you try to search the tips over china's phone development site. just translate it to your language.

hope this tips will help......

You,re right but I think that phones does not have hardware and software support, so if you want one of those, first of all make sure you can get a compatible battery for your device after 4years and update your android os. for example I bought a cheap chinese tablet but its original gingerbread rom could not be updated until now.

[General Questions and Answers] Ell Tee:
Not so bad.

The quality level of Chinese phones has gone up quickly in the last few years, and it seems that Android might have something to do with it. Now we don't have to worry about some weird and wonky OS on our phones. Hardware-wise, it seems that they are getting better as well. I speak from experience because I bought an Android phone recently and it seems to be a rock-solid piece of machinery (so far).

Now, if you go and buy something that is being marketed as a knock-off, you get what you pay for. But if you get something that's "this is our Android/Win phone, we're not trying to scam you" then you should be okay. Ainol's a Chinese company and they make a fine tablet.

I'm in China so it was easy for me to just go down the street and check some of them out. Buying online might be a bit more of a problem. It's true that you're not going to get the post-sale support.

My one problem: finding out what hardware my phone has so I can mod it.

[General Questions and Answers] chinaphonebelgium:
Hi, just want to share my thoughts too as you asked in your start post.

I bought an Inew V3, I looked for ages for the "best" phone, and this one gets real good reviews.

On some websites, if you filter by "most popular" or "most sold" you will notice the Inew is often in the top 5.

I am not saying the other ones are not good, but I thought all those people couldn't be wrong, right?

I had the same budget as you, 150-200€. Some shops do even send from European stock, slightly more expensive but may be worth trying.

In general, I am very happy about the Inew. Especially the fact that people around me are curious too about the "phone they saw for the first time"

Wishing you luck with your decision :)

...and run merge-gnexus-blobs...

You need to run merge-gnexus-blobs before using fastboot (if it can find the Android SDK, merge-gnexus-blobs will do the fastboot invocations for you).

Just flashing the images as is will result in a non-working build because all the binary blobs (incl. graphics driver) are missing.

---------- Post added at 08:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:19 AM ----------

That is to be expected, since you flashed the files without running the merge-gnexus-blobs script.

We cannot legally redistribute parts of the Galaxy Nexus firmware that aren't Open Source, including the graphics driver (which is why you just see a black screen if you flash those images without following the instructions).

To fix it, we're providing the merge-gnexus-blobs script - that downloads the original firmware image, extracts the blobs, and then merges them into our build.

Please follow the instructions, as given on the download page.

---------- Post added at 08:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:28 AM ----------

We're seeing performance improvements in 0xbench, Sunspider and Quadrant. (From installing the entire OS, not just the kernel).

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Five0nIt:
Maybe 3rd party but you only have 14 days to add it with tmo
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] aznmode:
Thanks. This is good to know in the future. Im past my 14 days already so I wasnt able to add Tmo insurance but $177 isnt bad at all. But I assume you have to send it in and I wonder how long that would take. That's the only drawback but still better non the less. Did you call samsung support or did you chat with them? Also Tmo will cover software issues for 1 year for free but you just have to pay $20 to get a replacement, and after you get a replacement they will ask if you want to add insurance. Once you have tmo insurance then its $5 for software issues and $130 for physical damage as that goes through Asurion and not Tmobile technically. So thats another route if you didnt get it within 14 days of your contract. I Know its too late now but once your phone is fixed you have that option still.

I'm thinking about going through Squaretrade insurance too but you also have to send them the phone for repair. Its avg about $5 a month with their 2 yr insurance plan. But I dont recall if there's a certain period that you have to apply. It might be 30 days within your contract. I have to double check.

Here's the one for squaretrade with $99 deductible

What about buying the screen from ebay and trying to replace it yourself? It might be a little complicated and hard without having proper skills but you can try it out.

I have owned an iphone 3gs in a past and once when I cracked the screen I replaced it myself saving lots of money. It worked just fine. You can give it a try but I'm not really sure how hard it is on samsung.
