Or use JB Sorcery ROM and you can use the theme chooser and choose whatever soft keys you want. They have a good list to choose from that you install within the ROM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tuckytuck0204:
I was wondering if someone would know of a simple way to receive an update to my gs3 after rooting, I recently purchased it. It is the U.S cellular variant and I must say I was pretty impressed (shocked) that on my first attempt ever at rooting a device I was able to root my gs3 without a single problem using the CMteamepic root file>>cwmrecovery tar file>> odin file>>> based on the sprint illustration on youtube. Followed it to a T and voila'... It was done, I actually did it without a single issue to the root process or to phone:) If someone could help with the update issue, I tried updating and the phone actually went through the process all the way to where it asks where you want to boot from and then press the power button. I'm not sure if I was suppose to scroll to something else prior to pressing the power button but when I did so from the first selection and phone booted up it said update failed. If anyone could please help I would greatly appreciate it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Lolanerd:
You can't apply ota updates while rooted. You need to unroot if you really want the update. Honestly, most devs just incorporate the updates in to their roms once the updates are are released anyways.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] billard412:
The above is true however...

In my opinion I say **** the whole OTA. The baseband is what counts. The rest of the updates are sprint garbage. As above post states,Most roms are updated to reflects the ota's however if your on an older build I recommend grabbing the newest baseband here http://www.mediafire.com/?u4793wlu5r97t3g. Then stop the update nag by flashing this http://dl.xda-developers.com/attach...2042/503dad17/1/2/4/4/2/7/7/blazerOTAkill.zip. Just my 2 cents.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] shultz11588:
I posted this in general general also, but I feel like there's some more knowledgeable people here.

Im wondering if anyone knows what causes (generally music) files to be duplicated and stored on the phone? I got fed up this morning and deleted all the duplicates. Then after listening to music for about an hour at work, I noticed that it happened again! 3 copies of every song on 2 of the albums I listened to. Wtf? Might it have something to do with where I store them? Sometimes this happens on my PC too. Why does this happen and what can I do to stop it?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jirafabo:
Nice timing. I just logged in after finally getting fed up with all the duplicates and notifcations not working at all, which I think is related to the duplicates. Also, only one of any of them works. The rest are just silent. I only noticed it with all my notification sounds, I don't keep much media on my phone.

Really looking forward to an answer to this. I'm up to like 8 copies of each notification sound. Must have something to do with files being restored.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Are you syncing Google Music, books, etc? I've seen sync issues cause similar problems before...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] shultz11588:
I have sync turned off to conserve battery, so its not that. I really think its something in the way android reads the music files and what it does with the data, but at the same time I don't think its a caching issue since the files end up in the same location. Sometimes they are actual duplicates and sometimes they are 0 bytes or -1 bytes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jirafabo:
Nope. No syncing of anything like that.

Sent via phone that is not the one coming out next month that I want really bad even though not long ago this one was the phone I wanted really bad.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] shultz11588:
To whomever it may concern, I found a program called mp3tag for PC that allows you to batch edit MP3 tags. After cleaning up the tags I no longer have this problem.

ICS is so last year.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smallsmx3:
Who cares? Once JB and CM10 became available ICS died....im over people saying that they can't wait till a stable version is available.....cm10 is stable.....maybe I should get a phone that can't get JB so I'd be happy about this
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] donsh00tmesanta:
Stable maybe but how's that jelly bean battery life

Give me one stable toroplus jb rom
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smallsmx3:
I get better battery life w JB than I did on ICS
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chlehqls:
What? Can't hear you from the same battery life but smoother JB features here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Joselito22:
Very Nice, the information will help me!

Seriously? People still run ics on their Nexus around here? Are you all under a rock somewhere?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] donsh00tmesanta:

So tell me whom who have posted are running toroplus

This is y we need carrier separation to weed out the gsm (I'm jealous I want a gsm but o well) ; dorks lol

+1 to crappy JB batt life. Have tried different kernels but nothing matches batt life from when I was on ICS :(

I'm conflicted. part of me wants to go back to ICS, but then again I love what project butter has done
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Guiding.God:
I guess every handset is diff. What rom/kernel are you on and what radios get used most often? I had ICS with stock kernel and now AOSP JB with Trinity and my usage pattern hasn't changed (wifi/2g always on, emails/calendar always on sync etc) but batt life is much better, almost 5 hrs screen on.Am able to get through a full workday without a charge.

(Loved cm10 nightly's but for some reason they keep getting bogged down after a few days of use and get back to good as a fresh install when I reboot....will wait for a stable release)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] donsh00tmesanta:
I'm having same difficulty whether to enjoy butter or life lol

Aah,on ICS,its a bit of relieve..:)!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] donsh00tmesanta:
Well the gsm has official jb so yea they are stable and awesome but my thread is about the CDMA version namely Sprint's if I could I would sell it and get gsm one from Google play
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nickzkcin:
AOKP jb1/Trinity underclocked to 1036. My usage patterns have not changed either, 3G always on, sync always on, wifi only on when at home or near a hotspot.

I was on aokp b40/franco m4, then aokp jb1/franco m5, and have tried lean kernel and trinity. batt life was much better on ICS. I managed 6 hrs screen on time back on ICS. Right now, 12 mins screen on and i'm down to 90%

edit: forgot to mention, i've got a GSM GNex with the official 2000mA extended battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Marcb:
people, people.... you know this is not exactly for the Galaxy Nexus, right? A LOT of people won't even dream of having ICS officially on their phones and CM gives them a little joy of tasting newer systems...

So "CM 9.1 - Stable" will be the happiest thing today for lots of people!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] donsh00tmesanta:
You are weird :p

On perfect android ROM for toroplus gsm users need not apply as I I keep mentioning lol

Stock ICS was laggy and choppy
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zeinzu:
I use mmuzzy's pure stock JRO03L build on Toroplus. It's absolutely stable and I get 15-20+hrs and 3-4hrs screen on time depending on usage.

Sent from my Stock AOSP Android 4.1.1 Galaxy Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Marcb:
LOL, why am I weird? :confused: :D

Honestly, even ICS 4.0.4 was a little bit laggy and choppy on my GN... I'm glad JB solved that... especially for games...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] donsh00tmesanta:
Same here
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drzplaya1121:
i bought my gnex after Jelly Bean came out so I never experienced that but i will say battery life on JB is ehh stock gave me 2.5 hrs screen time with like 20 hours total but now testing Trinity+CNA 3.4.1+2000 mah battery to see what happens
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] boomerbsg:
I'm still rocking ICS because I get better battery life (marginal, but better) and its rock solid stable. Every JB ROM I've tried has had fundamental issues I don't care to deal with myself. Great thing about the GNEX is we have the option to find a rom that works for our device.

Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] donsh00tmesanta:
WOW!!!! was that wifi? stock battery?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] donsh00tmesanta:
Yep thats why I went back to stock ICS. Reason I got the GNEX was because of rom choice (already tried 90% of jb roms) and for possibility of WEBOS
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drzplaya1121:
So cm 9.1 is the move then for battery life?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] donsh00tmesanta:
For me, yes. But I went back to stock for the JB OTA. I figure if theres a leak for VZ theres one in the works for sprint. If no OTA within a month or I get antsy I will go to CM9.1

Tho codename android's tweaks and features are tempting. I got so much roms and kernels in my dropbox right now I am literally going nuts lol

I just dont know atm I dont wanna waste time to test it as I have flashed about 9 roms already.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drzplaya1121:
I know how u feel. I'm currently running codename android and the customizations can be very convenient. But the ROM feels slow for some reason
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] donsh00tmesanta:
Its smooth as butter tho but slow to respond stock ics is choppy but responsive. Im tempted to flash cm9.1 right now since I cant sleep lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Guiding.God:
Split about 70:30 b/w wifi and 2G/EDGE - (sadly don't have 3G here :( )

yea, stock GSM battery 1750 mAh - I have a (bad?) habit of always having screen brightness set to 60% and touch sounds and touch vibrate feedback always on too - I'm sure if I turn those off and lower brightness It'll account for better screen on time than 5 hrs lol will try it this weekend.

I'm sure once you have stock JB update you will not miss ICS at all :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] donsh00tmesanta:
Yea I agree I love the smoothness of jb. But life wasn't there for me. I'm hoping ota would improve things
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Faysal21:
I have two songs that I want to change the artist name to reflect a change in letter casing. At first, I had these two songs downloaded from the gtunes music downloader app, but after discovering that the files were 128kbps, I had deleted them, although I did change the file name a day or two before deleting it. I imported these songs later on, but with a higher bit rate. The album art, song title, and album title were tagged on each song, but the artist name did not change (All the changes just involved capitalizing the artist and song tile). The file name, however, is the same as it was when I deleted it. Since noticing this problem, I have used multiple tag editing apps from the Play Store, but the HTC Sense music player does not reflect the change, nor does other local music playback apps like doubleTwist.

I hope the image helps....just hoping to capitalize that first letter of the artist on the music player lol

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Faysal21:
I used iTag, DroID3Tagger, and AudioTagger (correct me on the name if I'm wrong). In all those apps, it appears capitalized. Even when I view the two files in Windows Explorer, it's how I want it to be. Still, it doesn't match up on the music player.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
Try clearing the cache and data (unless you have playlists) of the music player. It's a long shot, but perhaps the changes you've made haven't come into effect yet?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Faysal21:
I tried those options, but there's no luck. Still the same typing on both artists...my best hypothesis on this music player right now is that it

must have some kind of cache deep in the storage that won't let me change it

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deckard79:
This is quite an amusing thread for me.

Started with an ASUS Transformer Prime - buggy OS, kept crashing, very slow browsing with broken flash support. The device rebooted by itself.

Moved to an iPad 3. Worked perfectly, crashed once in 3 months, but I found it boring, overweight and uncomfortable to hold.

Moved to a Nexus 7. It died completely within 12 hours of purchase. On top of that, awful build quality - screen separation. Took me SIX WEEKS to finally get my refund from Google Play Store.

Noticed the Blackberry Playbook for 129 so gave it a go. Had it for a month now, and absolutely love it. My favorite tablet to date.

* Build quality is miles, miles better than Nexus 7. Anyone who thinks otherwise is delusional - the Nexus 7, in terms of materials, is CHEAP as it was built for an entirely different price point.

* Screen is lower resolution but the picture quality is far superior

* Blackberry OS has yet to crash once

* Flash support is best I've ever seen on a tablet. iPlayer works beautifully in HD from the BBC web site

* 64GB vs 8GB/16GB - no contest

* Sits on my Windows Workgroup wirelessly. I can drag and drop videos/anything else straight onto it from my Windows desktop and it doesn't need to be plugged in

* Good video codec support and great video player

* web browser is normally very fast

* Camera that records 1080p video and looks GREAT. Pictures are also very good - way, way better than Nexus 7's crappy little camera.

* Front facing stereo speakers that sound far better than Nexus 7's and aren't obstructed by hands.

The only cons to the Playbook, really, are the lack of apps. But to be perfectly honest, I found all the Android apps utter rubbish on a tablet. Most are designed for phones. Providing you primarily use it for what comes with it, it's a substantially better tablet than the Nexus 7 overall in my view.

My wife agrees and is about to buy one herself.

Was this a serious thread? I live in Canada and wouldn't give any stock in relying on RIM being around for the length of the warranty time frame.

I'm on the forum showing an interest in the ever-expanding Nexus 7 fault thread at the top of this sub forum! As someone interested in the tablet market, what's wrong with that?

Of course I haven't had one for months - it broke within 1 day.

---------- Post added at 06:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:42 PM ----------

Considering the price, of course it's a serious thread. Why wouldn't it be?

As for the length of the warranty, this is of little importance to me since a tablet is the sort of thing you're likely to upgrade every year or so anyway.

I didn't buy it to be future-proof, as there's no point given the average upgrade cycle. I bought it because what it does now it does very well, and I suspect this is why your friends use it, too.

Look at my list of pros and tell me where I've gone wrong.

By all means, if the Nexus 7 is well built and reliable, that's fine. I would have stuck with mine had it been. But from day 1, it clearly was not and I think thousands of others have had a similar experience. My point is that the choice is not as clear-cut as some on here like to make out.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_Biggles:
Interesting. Nexus 7 is my first tablet. Seems a little weak on build quality but I have had none of the serious problems others have (touch wood) to this point. I absolutely love it and I thought it was pretty reasonably priced for what it does. A colleague of mine got a Playbook a year or so ago and couldn't stop talking about how great it was. I actually got tired of hearing it. Sadly over the last year or so he has swung the other way and now seems to do a lot of moaning about lack of apps, support and upgrades, development community and so on. He will still defend its build quality but that's about it.

Do you really think most people will upgrade tablets yearly? I don't even get a new phone unless someone gives me a used one that's better than my current one. I guess I'm in the minority.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deckard79:
Perhaps you aren't in the minority - I'm something of a tech geek, so I like buying new gadgets and trying them out. With the Playbook, I'd JUST gotten my refund from Google and read somewhere about the huge discount on the 64GB Playbook (129 pounds UK, vs 170 inc. delivery for the Nexus 7). I just thought 'what the hell' at that price point, and went for it. Also, I knew I'd easily get a refund since I was buying direct from a high street store.

I use a tablet for:

* Checking email

* Browsing the web on the sofa

* Youtube/BBC iPlayer/other streaming video

* watching movies when travelling

* showing photos and videos to friends (yes, I'm one of those annoying people who enthusiastically shows photos of my baby to others)

* catching up on news via RSS feeds

I don't generally buy anything from app stores (be it Apple, Google Play or Blackberry's) since I never really see anything worthwhile. If I want to do serious work, or play a game, my desktop pc/media pc do these way better than any tablet. I also see no reason paying for lossy MP3 music when cds are cheaper and sound better, or paying for lossy, DRM/streamed movies on an app store where DVDs/Blu Rays are higher quality and can simply be ripped to my tablet.

Maybe I'm in the minority?

Either way, the Playbook does all of this stuff beautifully. I'd never, ever swap it for a Nexus 7.

Software updates suck, 4.1 was soppose to come out 6 months ago so I was stuck with the beta. Everyone raves on about the browser (which is all i can do on it besides play Nova 2) crashes all the time. Interface is nice, huge bezel tho.

I picked up a Nexus 7 recently. I got it for ~$180 plus tax. So it is basicly a plaything. It is my second Android tablet.

So far I am not overly impressed with it. Cheaply built IMO.

But I will give it a fair shake.

There is a lot of misinformation posted in prior posts about the PlayBook. Some are plainly untrue. Mostly based on rumour.

At the current price point for PlayBooks there is presently none better.

I will continue to experiment with it. But I doubt it will ever be my daily driver.
