What em I thinking is.....

except on you can browse system files of rooted s3 , what are the other advantage of rooted s3 ?

Which is fast ? Rooted or non-rooted ?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ballsofsteel:
Well other stuff I can think of include the restoration of apps from titanium backup and the use of ad free. Besides you won't see a performance discrepancy anyway.

Well, hmm ...if you are asking this question then you don't need to root...coz you have not yet felt the need to do so..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] al_madd:
There no point to root your phone..dont root your phone!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tectas:
You are able to use apps like tasker or titanium backup, which is pretty nice and helpful.

An additional advantage is that you can modify almost everything and remove bloat that wastes ram or tweak your build.prop and sysctl.

Not to mention the ability for custom recovery, rom and kernel.

But for all of this you need to read first otherwise you can screw your device up, so zoot1 is probably right, if you have to ask it you maybe don't need it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ferdroyd:
based on my own experience, rooted phone is faster if you know what you're doing. You can overclock it (to increase cpu speed) and undervolt it (to increase battery life). Plus you're phone will look cooler if it's rooted because you can customize it the way you want to. ;)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostofcain:
I rooted my SGS III, primarily to allow restoration of application data from a previous rom. Rooting unlocks the potential for speed increases, and removing bloatware should definitely help, but also the ability to underclock which should improve battery life.

WTF ? You are using a rooted custom ROM (CBR (CleanBlank Rom)) and you say : "dont root your phone!". No mistake ?

Personally, a rooted phone allows me to use principally "LBE Privacy Guard" (Android firewall available on Google Play).

:eek:

As the title says, I have a Rogers Droid Razr unlocked running on Telus. Today it said there was an update so i downloaded and ran it. Now Handcent SMS will not load. Neither will the stock text messaging app. I downloaded app 2 sd to allow me to clear cache as that was suggested and it made no difference.

Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.

Thanks
[Motorola Droid RAZR] adaimespechip:
Try a full wipe and see if that does anything
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sledbc:
That did work, but what a pain, reinstall everything :( It's just not working as crisply as it did before the update. Not impressed.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] B407:
I had a similar issue where none of the first party apps like email, music, and gallery worked. Also the phone was super laggy for about 45 minutes after the update. Nothing I did would fix the issue. Had to completely wipe the phone and now its running flawlessly. Extremely annoying though.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sledbc:
Yes, that seems exactly like what was happening. Frustrating, I just got this phone a couple weeks ago and had everything transferred over, including text messages and pics, now its all gone. Oh well, it's working.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] g2sai:
Hi guys I've tried doing a search and couldn't find anything so apologies in advance for my incompetence.

I'm new to the Android community and recently got my S3. I'm feeling very frustrated with the contacts syncing because the phone is syncing all of my contacts from gmail including the "other contacts" folder. However doing a basic search in google says that once you setup your android phone the contacts that sync are those in the "my contacts" folder. Is there any solution to this? There doesn't seem to be any place where I can restrict which contact folder from gmail it should be syncing with.

Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fr8cture:
you would need to go to setting accounts and turn off contact sync.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] g2sai:
Hey thanks for the reply, but clicking on the google account and disabling sync contacts? If so this didn't work I still have 244 contacts that are not assigned, and they happen to be the ones that are from the my other contacs folder, also if i disable the contact sync would that also disable the contacts that I'm interested in backing up with google?

Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fr8cture:
Oh sorry I misunderstood what you meant. You could go into system accounts hit menu key and sync now?

Sent from my Paranoid Android Galaxy S III
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] g2sai:
Yeah I think I'm not saying things right let me try this,

so gmail saves contacts automatically everytime you send an reply, fwd,etc.. and those contacts are saved in the Other contacts group, this group shouldn't sync itself to the android contacts from My Contacts group in gmail (at least from what I've read) however for some reason it keeps syncing and I end up with 244 unassigned contacts which basically are people whom I'm really not interested in having as a contact in the phone?

Thanks again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fr8cture:
Hmmm i think the only way to fix this is to turn off contact syncing unless there is a option in the gmail app?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] g2sai:
This wouldn't make sense, if I turn off contact syncing then I lose the ability to have google manage my contacts for backup purposes, there should be way to restrict what group in gmail the contacts are being synced from...hm...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chiaroscuro7:
try going to groups in your contacts app and deleting un-necessary ones (try doing this with a group which has only 1-2 unimportant contact names - so that if it gets deleted from gmail contacts as well - you don't lose many, also always backup :D)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SMR-DINO313:
I got the fix for ya. Go to contacts hit the menu / contacts to display / customize list / then click on Ur gmail . U should c it then choose the groups u want to be synced ....

this wouldn't do anything, if i delete those contacts they get deleted from gmail as well...

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mdt73:
Ok. First try scrolling down when you are looking for contacts to display. Second it sounds like you are lazy and don't want to manage your contacts very well. If they are not contacts you need why are you keeping them? I simply take a few min once in a while and clean house... Deleting contacts that were randomly saved.

Hope that helps.

GingerBread

I do understand you, I have many old and JIC contacts in my gmail that I don't want to delete, over 2700, but I only want 100 or 200 tops sync to my phone. If I play with the display settings when I enter the conects, only the contacts I want are displayed, but when I search for an specific contact, it searches over all the 2700 contacts and makes my Galaxy S3 verry slow, my old galaxy s2 as well,

If my memory does not fail, when I had the galaxy Ace with gingerbread, the contacts navigation and search was much faster because only the contacts in "My Contacts" where Sync into my phone, i am allmost positive of that. thanx for any responses.

---------- Post added at 11:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:18 AM ----------

did not notice that there was a second page, i am new in the forum.

it is not lazy in my case, i have purged over 2000 contacts when i merged the information from my Facebook Contacts, Linked In, Yahoo, MSN, manualy merging some becuse the automerge process did not work for some cases (inverted names with diferent emails (old and new) or phone numbers, etc), but if i delete one and i review and old email, i won't know who was that from, oe maybe where i knew them from (have them in groups or notes) to organize a reunion :good:. anyway deleting information goes agains Gmal Policy (Never have to delete an email or contact again) LOL any help is welcome
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shakir999:
Hey guys, I'm in desperate need of some assistance here.

I have an international Galaxy S3 i9300, rooted and with CWM.

I flashed Criskelos XXDLH8 ROM yesterday, and I followed the instructions to the dot.

The flash seemed to be problem free.

However, once the phone booted and i was on the new ROM, i tried to make a call, but I kept getting an error message saying "not registered on network".

I instantly freaked out, and wiped my phone+cache, and flashed stock Samsung ICS (XAALE8) via Odin.

The phone booted normally into the stock ICS. But instead of seeing signal bars on the status bar, all I can see now is just a circle with a line through it . :crying:

I did some research on the net, and didn't really find anything to help me, which is why I'm here, seeking ANY help from you guys.

I'm freaked out guys! Any assistance would be SO appreciated! thank you!

don't panic

go settings >wireless and networks more settings > access point names

make sure you have something in there

look up apn for your area.

otherwise you can try flashing a different modem for your region or even try another region from here

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evantkh:
Are you sure the firmware is suitable for your model for your phone's factory? There are at least three regions of producing Galaxy S3 International version. Some final product made in Vietnam and Korea has a lot of problems and need to be changed to the board made in China due to software problem. You should try using the "Firmware Upgrade And Initialization" in the "Tools" in the Samsung KIES 2.5 because it will download the latest official firmware according to your model and serial number and it will wipe your phone at the same time.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harrysc:
Thanks for your support.

I tried to repair using the firmware update and initialization, but I could not find exactly where it is. I could reach a pop-up window saying that if my phone had a problem it would be listed in this window... Not sure if I am doing it correctly.

Do you have any tutorial link/post where I can find the proper instructions for it? I am familiar with odin, but not kies...

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evantkh:
You can find this function in your Samsung KIES 2.5 which is the software to be installed in your computer. Then you will see the top bar, one of them is Tools and you will find the function in the Tools menu.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xclub_101:
Most likely a locked phone ...

It sounds very much like a locked phone that was unlocked in a suboptimal way :(

Unless you have the original EFS (on which you might try to do a cleaner unlock) you will be "condemned" to always need a patched modem.

The short story is that network locking is done in a protected/checksumed database in the EFS partition and some older unlocks were not even attempting to keep the database "clean" - they were forcing a flag there but since there was some other check at a later time you need a special "patch" in the GSM modem code - that is located in a different partition and might be a little different from one country/carrier to another. Unfortunately the modem is (usually) updated with major ROM updates, so you have now lost that patch - but you can take a look below for a fix:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1918601

The bottom line is that (unless you restore original EFS and do a very clean unlock) you will always have to re-apply the modem after you program a new full ROM!

[HTC Sensation] Jakabo1:
So I have spent the last 3 days trying to upgrade my Sensation XE to ICS and have encountered/overcome most of the problems along the way. Yes, it's S-off, unlocked, 4 ext installed etc. I am at a stage now where I've flashed 3 different Roms (Darkforest Sensation XE ICS 6.6.0 is what I'm currently on) and each time i've had the same error. After all the updates etc it won't recognise the data on my sim card. The sim card is not locked, there is just no signal.

at closer inspection of the settings, I can't turn the mobile networks on, nor will the phone detect any. So my questions are:

1) Can I fix this by getting the appropriate RUU Vodafone file and by flashing it?

2) if yes, does anyone know where to get the RUU vodafone file for the sensation XE in australia?

3) if no, are there other fixes?

If you go in settings, then phone settings, and then status, does it show your phone number? If not, you may just have a dead SIM card. Happened to me once, went to the store and got a new one and it was fine.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
check the imei ..is it matching ?

also check if the sim is loose ..if so put in a small paper at the top between sim and sim try and see

dial *#*#4636#*#* and go to phone information ..and check the status of the network mode ..it should be WCDMA preferred ..if it is on this mode ..try changing to different other modes and verify signal at each point
[HTC Sensation] Jakabo1:
Ok, so under settings, about phone, phone identity it has phone number unknown, but i've tried multiple sims and contacted Vodafone (who said that it's not locked or anything like that)

The IMEI on my phone is consistent with what I obtained in CMD
