I have a Galaxy Note (and my old Desire HD) and the Note's screen has some extra hardware built into it so it works with the S Pen, while the Desire HD's screen doesn't have it. You could give a decent capacitive stylus a try, they work rather well.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdafly:
After 48 hours on Sprint with the SG3 L710, am returning Sprint phones after picking up new ATT SG3 L747's

I could not hear incoming calls and outgoing calls would drop calls (dozens!), wifi hotspot kept losing signal...etc...

ATT has a shared plan that applies to multiple phones (datacap 4 GB) and tethering is allowed on all phones,

unlimited messaging, unlimited call minutes

After reading several xda-threads, here are my assumptions

1. The only difference with the models (L710 vs L747) are the carrier frequencies/formats

2. There is no difference to the root methods in Sprint vs ATT and No Tripping Flash works correctly

If anything essentially wrong, please shout back.... heading to ATT store this morning when they open

I recently got an evo lte for my son basically to use as a small tablet. I cant help notice that the screen is way brighter. Now ive always seen the evo people use this as a defense when someone says an s3 is better then the evo but i just always brushed it off. Its not just mine either my gf is the same way. The brightness on both phones is turned all the way up. Ill post sy side pics shortly
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wolfeyes30:
Its well known. Different screen technology. I have both phones and was one of the folks that prefer the EVO screen, at first. Now I prefer the deep blacks of the SG3.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] geolemon:
Trade-offs.

Personally, I don't use my phone outdoors much in the direct sunlight, so this definitely isn't a requirement for me.

Bear in mind the SGS3 uses actually a technically superior technology to LCD... an LCD has a backlight, with pixels that are flipped on and off and the backlight shines through them. So black couldn't be farther from black - it's grey at best, as you could use an LCD screen to light your way down a darkened hallway even with a fully "black" screen. This also makes contrast ratio pretty bad.

The AMOLED (key letters in there being OLED) display by contrast has pixels that light - little LED's. There's no backlight, so black is black - like phone off black. It's a much, much better picture.

I have my brightness set to "auto", so I haven't noticed it being any dimmer than my older HTC phones, but I definitely appreciate the picture and contrast.

In going through our Neo forum I have noticed that we have excellent ROM builders and Modders but we lack consistent kernel developers (No offence to our current kernel Devs). This thread is to integrate all the talented kernel builders out there including existing ones who have knowledge in modding kernel from source I.E.

*Adding Governors

*UV/OC

etc...

Maybe a team could be established if needs be. If you are interested please reply in this thread with ideas and let's make our Neo even more awesome :)

I need some kind of app that tunnels my text and whatsapp message to another android device.

Like this scenario:

3G --> message ( whatsapp or text ) --> android device 1 ( proxy ) --> encrypted -->WIFI ( internet ) --> Android device 2

This way i can send and receive messages trough another android device that acts as an secure message proxy.

Is there any existing app i could do this? Or is there anyone that is able to build me such a thing? I could pay ofcourse.

Hi,

That way the answer is yes, in the settings you set language as Croatian and click on the small keyboard on the right, then you put on US QWERTY keyboard, that's it :)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tharkimaa:
Hey,

I have somehow managed to brick my phone, here's how it happened..

I was using it, it was quite alright.. But then suddenly, the power button menu started appearing for no reason.. Then i couldnt use the power button at all.. But it got automatically resolved in the evening.

I found my camera to be very unsatisfying, so i updated the camera fw, and it was successful. No issues in the phone as such.

The next day, i found the phone stuck in a hard bootloop, unsolvable by taking the battery out and all.. The recovery mode resets into boot after like 3 seconds.

I put the phone in download and flashed a single file official rom from intratech's thread , that didnt solve anything.

So i thought that i had no option but to flash a .pit file and repartition the phone.

Now, i have an indian gt-i9100, and i looked everywhere for a .pit file , but i cant find a comprehensive guide which includes the .pit file.

I found this- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1457458&page=1

It has all the files, modem, code, and csc. Even the bootloader. But after downloading the package, i couldnt find a .pit file.

So i carried on with the multi file flash, voila, no recovery for me now. The phone still goes into download mode though.

I can carry on with the bootloader flash, but i wanted to try and clear and partitioning problems there might be, if any.

Please help.

Details of recent multi flash- XXLPH with the modem and csc files.

EDIT--

Just got the .pit file from the post mentioned above.. did the repartioning.. still the same problem ..

First flash pit .. once done remove usb , remove battery again get the phone in download mode

flash only kernel in pda once done remove usb , remove battery again get the phone in download mode

after that then flash pit and the firmware together

in firmware u will find 3 files

CODE -> PDA

MODEM -> PHONE

CSC -> CSC
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saywhatt:
I think you should choose flashing the stock firmwares, where you should wipe everything: caches, dalvik cache, factory reset; however, backup your files.

Flash the firmwares that'd give you that "fresh new feeling" :)

If flashing it once won't work, i think you could try flashing it again.

But i think you screwed up somewhere in the steps.. mmmm you could try using simple fw's.. ones where all the files are in one PDA file

Depends on what you want from a phone. If you're not very heavy on apps, want a nice looking phone (with cheap housing) and have a low budget - yeah, go ahead. You could give Neo (especially if you want a front facing camera) or Ray a shot, though.

And the neo and ray have small screens compared to the Arc S and neo is too thick :D

How is multitasking for a single core ? good ?

Thanks :)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Okluzhion:
Yes, it's possible to relock the bootloader. Neo is thicker, yes, though housing is better. But I suggest you buy a protective case for Arc, because the housing is crap and if you accidentally drop the phone, you'll definitely damage the housing. And there's that tiny crack that'll develop above and below the proximity sensor regardless of how you treat your phone.

The multitasking. Well, hm. I suggest you stay on Gingerbread for that. It's a lot better than ICS on Arc. I can't really say much more as I'll be upgrading to Xperia T/TX soon for a bit more power. But overall, it's an okay phone if you don't mind crappy housing quality.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ^eLipS#:
I suggest you to at least buy Xperia U... It's cheaper than Arc S (at least here in Serbia), and it has a dual-core processor, so it's better for multitasking. If 8GB of storage is enough for you and you don't need good camera, than go for it. If you don't, than buy Xperia Arc S if you can't buy Xperia P.

I suggest you to buy it and install cynogen mod rom in it for best use !!!

Hope this helps u !!

Your choice

IF I SUGGEST YOU THENNN(KEEPING AN ANDROID PHONE IN MIND)

1. ARC S HAS 1.4GHZ SINGLE PROCESSOR

>>>IT'S A VERY GOOD PROCESSOR AND TILL DATE IT CAN RUN EVERY ROM MADE FOR IT

<<<SUGGEST YOU TO BUY A DUAL CORE PROCESSOR ALTHOUGH QUAD CORE PROCESSORS ARE LATEST BUT DUAL CORE PROCESSOR CAN DO THE WORKS SMOOTHER THAN SINGLE CORE.

2. ARC S HAS ONLY 512MB RAM

>>>FOR RUNNING OLDER ANDROID ROM (Eg.GINGERBREAD) IT'S BEST..BUT IN LATEST RELEASE OF NEW ROMS (Eg. ICE CREAM SANDWICH OR JELLY BEAN) MORE AMOUNT OF RAM IS GOOD AS IT WOULD CAUSE LAG(DOESN'T COME UP INITIALLY BUT LATER IT'S A LAG LIKE HELLL AS YOU START DOWNLOADING MORE APPS)

<<<SUGGEST YOU TO BUY A PHONE HAVING AT LEAST 1GB OF RAM FOR A COMPLETE LAG FREE PERFORMANCE

3. ARC S HAS A BEAUTIFUL DESIGN, CAMERA AND OTHER FEATURES EXCEPT FRONT CAMERA.

>>>NO COMMENTS

IMPORTANT:-

THE BEST EXPERIENCE ON A PHONE CAN BE ACHIEVED BY A VERY GOOD ROM OPTIMIZED FOR IT. IN RECENT WITH LATEST ROMS REQUIRING HIGH END SPECS TO RUN SMOOTHLY ON ANDROID DEVICE..

AT LAST:-

PERFORMANCE IS DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL TO $$$$$.
