[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rab1412000:
Having gprs registered in your phone doesn't necessarily mean you're in a 2g area only.

You're in an area that has 3g but has shifted you to lower bandwidth most probably due to congestion. It's a different story when you're in an area that has no 3g.

Afaik switching to lower power states is disabling the higher powered antennas and switching to the lower powered ones. The inverse also holds true.

You will only see the difference if you are in a 2g only area for an extended time. Try staying in a 2g only place like some areas of san Juan batangas and you will see that you're the only one with no signal while your friends dumb phones will be perfectly fine.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giodegracia:
As ive said. Im currently in davao. But im from a province from surigao del sur.and i tell you theres no such thing as 3g on those areas. My s2 has always been set to only connect to a 2g network as theres no point on setting it to auto switch between gsm and wcdma as there is no 3g network in my province. My s3 is the oposite. Iv set it to only connect on wcdma because data is always enabled on this device. I only have signal loss on my s3 if im in an area where there is no 3g. And both my devices hav fb disabled. I hope this clears everything.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rab1412000:
Lol you just basically proved my point :high five:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giodegracia:
lol..i said my s3 was always set to wcdma so it would make sense that their would be signal loss if im in an area where there is no 3g..from your previous posts you were always refering fd disabled would cause signal lose. that my friend is another story. you even mentioned some people not having signal on some areas and i replied stating maybe those people who experienced signal lose only set their devices to wcdma. totally not related to disabling fd would cause signal lose. tsk
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rab1412000:
Yes that's also what I thought but people here have reported the same behavior when disabling fd. Look into the earlier threads on the sgs2, note, HTC phones from last year.

Am i wrong for thinking that this is used for s-on flashing of kernels? If not for that wtf is it for then? And if it is for that why the hell have me and rx been writing so many drawn out help posts in the threads when all we really had to say was use dumlock in twrp? Please tell me so i can save my thumbs from early arthritis lol

Sent from the depths of hell
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
you poor poor exhausted poor and slightly ignorant (kidding) man, no seriously, dumlock is a method developed by TeamWin to help users flash kernels with s-on, it installs to your rom with instructions to write twrp recovery to boot partition thus giving the user the ability to flash to boot, you run dumlock, it reboots and because you technically have no boot (it has been replaced by twrp) it will boot into recovery (inside boot) you then restore boot and proceed to flash what ever rom you choose
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wileout:
So in short its a yes? Lmao....so i can just say use dumlock not my usual nonsensical jibber jabber that probably has helped no one (kidding)...btw thanks for sounding smart and using terms and words i nor other xdaers have any idea what they mean lmao...but seriously tho its a yes lol?

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
so you flashed yourself from recovery as well.....let me reloa....i mean let me check on my recovery, I might need it later
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rxpert:
HTC dumlock is pretty confusing if you haven't used it. It basically switches the boot and recovery partitions of the phone so if you reboot normally the phone will boot straight into recovery (because the recovery is now located in boot)

Recovery can write to boot then because boot is actually stored in recovery
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wileout:
So we havent been using this info for users in our 15 help threads a day because why? Lol

Sent from the depths of hell
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
Its not the most ideal method, I can guarantee people will be coming to complain that their recovery is stuck in a boot loop when in reality they never restored the physical addresses for recovery and boot. It also means it flashes boot 2-3 times in the process which wears down the life of your phone
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wileout:
Gotcha so the tried and tested way prevails and to think i thought my fingers would get a break lol

Sent from the depths of hell
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rxpert:
Because its much simpler to fastboot flash it

HTC dumlock is VERY confusing if you dont know what youre doing
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wileout:
Ok

Sent from the depths of hell
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
as opposed to the guy who decided to fastboot flash a new kernel based on AOSP while he was on stock, or the guy with s-off who used flash gui and rebooted thinking both the rom would magically flash itself during reboot...sorry sorry

I dont believe its too confusing as opposed to fastboot but it is a bit safer considering recovery can verify md5sum while many users who fastboot will try to flash damaged images
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wileout:

i use htc dumlock and is flawless and i mean flawless and its very simple to use, and as far as wearing the life out of the phone......check your information there, in terms of relevance my friend, and you dont need to restore boot, i never do, i just install dumlock, goes into recovery on its own and flash rom.... everything is perfect
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wileout:
Thanks for the insight bro appreciate it at least someone uses it and knows how...btw no sarcasm intended so dont take offense

Sent from the depths of hell
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
I keep telling people it is not ideal, it will eat away at your boot. Dumlock flashes your boot a total of 3 times during the course of one ROM flash, Im sorry no matter how flawless it just isnt in my opinion as reliable as fastboot (and believe me A LOT can go wrong using Dumlock, although TeamWin implemented a very simple way to prevent accidental damage by checking ramdisks when flashing to boot as to not confuse dumlock or TWRP)

[General Questions and Answers] poggle:
Hi all, I recently bought an S3 (i9300) and very happy with it :D

So now i've got my old S2 and not sure what to do with it.

I live in Hong Kong and the 2nd hand dealers have offered me HK$2,500 (US$312) for it but not sure if I want to sell.

Obviously if I leave it too long it will devalue.

What do you guys do with your old phones once you've upgraded?

Do you keep them for sentimental reasons and practice with or focus on your new phone?

My S2 is a nice white one which i've rooted and practiced flashing ROM's with but the money would be great.
[General Questions and Answers] alpha-niner64:
I would keep it. Always good to have a spare in case the worst things happen.
[General Questions and Answers] RollerCoasting:
$312 Is a pretty good offer, considering they're selling on eBay for right around that price.
[General Questions and Answers] IAmRelex:
I'd keep it for a backup phone.
[General Questions and Answers] MissionImprobable:
Save it for a backup device unless you absolutely need the money.
[General Questions and Answers] theslut:
It's always hard in these situations. I have loads of computer equipment and other stuff sitting around the house doing nothing for years because I never can be bothered selling.
[General Questions and Answers] waiters:
I would get insurance on your new phone and sell the old..

Otherwise you will be stuck with the sgs2 and won't be able to make $$ next year :(
[General Questions and Answers] exynos:
Sell the S2 and get some accessories for your new phone, maybe expand your storage with a bigger miniSD card or just keep the money incase you ever need it. If you keep the phone for some time incase you need it and you never actually need it, the value will go down as newer phones will overshadow your old phone and no one will want the S2 anymore.
[General Questions and Answers] scarfacedag:
Keep it just in case
[General Questions and Answers] rmkilc:
You could always donate it to me. ;)
[General Questions and Answers] poggle:
Thanks for the reply's.

It's tougher to let her go than the S1 but stuff in Hong Kong devalues fast so i'll take what I can get for it now.

Comes with box, cables and 3.7v Momax 2700 mAh battery which has built in stand on back cover.

I took this pic about a month ago so prices are a bit cheaper than shown.

Divide the prices by 8 to get US$ equivalent.

I paid US$510 for the S3 (i9300) at another shop.

Micro SD cards here are US$10 for 16gig and US$20 for 32gig.
[General Questions and Answers] DEFJAMVAN:
SELL IT!!

Sell it and get the Nexus 7!:p
[General Questions and Answers] bostonsean:
Good advice.

If only someone had said this to me a long time ago. Listen to him. I swear the craziest stuff will happen when your trying so hard for it not to. You may think your doing a great job protecting your phone (have an otterbox or whatnot), then your pitbull chews it up likes its nothing. Anyways. Take that great piece of advice! Keep it.

First off, I am a complete noob, please, reply accordingly.

Say, I have an application, which requires wifi to be connected in order to work. If I start it without wifi it just wouldn't work. I tried to change permissions and remove "check wifi status" permission but this only crashes the application.

Now the question, is possible to decompile the apk and remove wifi state check?

Thanks

Try the Unbrick methond in this link I'm pretty sure you can recover your phone this way .I have done chaotic things to mind and always manage to get out of anything by doing the Unbrick method.If you do decide to do it the trick is to uninstall any of the drivers you currently have installed for the phone and install the once that come with the Download file for the unbrick method.O and connect your usb to the back USB slots if using a desktop.
[LG Nitro HD] Malnilion:
Yeah, you can't flash CWM with the bootloader from official ICS. You have to go through the unbricking guide.

This will be my very first MOD I am posting.

After seeing how much cooler the AOSP Mail was over HTC Mail, and not to mention the extra security and certificates upgrades that the Exchange servers are going through. I decided to give it a spin.

My only let down was when i tried to attach a 8MB file, it FAILED and said that the attachment was too large..... WHAT A DEAL BREAKER.

Well, After doing some research I found out that the AOSP mail that has been out will only allow a 5MB attachment size.

I finally fixed the thing to allow up to 25MB of attachment size, b/c i was so frustrated with it, i did something about it and spent a lot of time hunting down things.

Below is a flashable zip file for your flashing pleasure with the AOSP mail modified to take up to 25MB attachments.

Hope everyone enjoys and appreciates this ! I tested this out a couple of times on my Rezound and didn't have any issues using my hotmail account

Any constructive feedback is appreciated! :good:

Don't forget to hit the thanks button if you like what i have done, and if you use my AOSP Mail.apk mod in your ROM please be sure to mention me. :D

Finally deciding to give back to the community in a small way at least; maybe a big one...

Do not *228. The SIM card does not like that. It will auto update the PRL as iit needs. I hear you can force it by powering off. Removing SIM. Then powering back on. Phone will request a SIM card. Power off, insert SIM, power on and supposedly it updates PRL. I know people were doing that on the Bionic. Many claimed it worked. But i never tried.

Hello members,

Every once and a while I come across an interesting article that is worth noting such as the article titled "Samsung Galaxy S III: 15 Power User Tips" over at PC World. There were some well not so known tips and great features that were listed in this article that wowed even me about the Samsung Galaxy III. Dont take my word for it, go over there and become informed. If you know of any other tips that were not posted, please do share the wealth.

Some examples are such as :

Save That Screen Retrieved from this article here:

"Take a screenshot. And another. And another. Taking screenshots with the S III is a snap—all you have to do is swipe the screen with your palm. So go ahead, take some more. And some more. And, well, you get the idea.

Other Android phones don't make it quite as easy. If you're using a phone running Android version 4.0 or later, you have to press and hold the Volume Down and Power buttons at the same time"

Make the Phone a Flashlight

"Stop digging around your bag in the dark, hunting for your keys.

If you have your S III in hand, you've already got a flashlight. The Assistive Light widget—which you can add to your home screen by going to Apps, selecting the Widgets tab, and choosing Assistive Light—turns the camera's flash into a flashlight when you need it most. Some other Android phones have this widget as well.

Want to add the flashlight feature to your Android phone? Check out Tiny Flashlight + LED, available as a free download in Google Play."

Oh yes, here is a great one that I did not know of......

Wake Up in Style

Let's face it: We all have to get out of bed sometime. And what better way to face your day than to be prepared for all it has to offer.

Using the "Briefing" setting on your Galaxy S III's alarm clock, you can have your phone wake you by reading the time, weather and weather forecast, news headlines, and any appointments you may have lined up. To turn this feature on, go to alarm type in the settings menu and change it to briefing.

Not a Galaxy S III owner? Download WakeVoice from Google Play to get some of these features on your Android phone.
