[HTC One S] Terminator19:
Actually the galaxy S3 seems to be more fragile than the one X/S, quite a lot of people who have dropped their GS 3's have had the screen crack, this is largely due to the glass going right to the edges much like the iphones, which is why their screen's shatter so easily when dropped. Plus the gorilla glass 2 on the GS 3 seems to be weaker than standard gorilla glass as I have never seen a phone get sooo many comments about the screen scratching easily and the people have said that they don't have a clue how it happened and that they have never had any scratches on their previous phones. Think samsung have told a white lie regarding GG 2, have made it thinner but at the cost of reducing the toughness.

one X:

- sense is far better overall IMO, only good thing about touchwiz are the features like smart alert, smart stay, smart status bar etc. however, you can get most of these on pretty much every other phone via apps

- camera UI is much better and you have way more features

- much nicer design IMO and the perceived quality is better

- battery life is better on the X (s4) than the GS 3 (s4)

- performance is also better on the X (S4) rather than the GS 3 (S4) (in benchmarks)

GS 3:

- removable battery

- SD slot

- build quality

- will be getting jellybean soon, the X will be as well before the end of the year but no date is given yet and it likely won't be for another month or 2 (this is for the international version, no idea if it is the same for AT&T)

- much better NLED

- 1080P recording in terms of smoothness and light metering

Screen is personal preference, the X screen seems to be regarded the best by a lot of users though and review sites, but it really does come down to personal preference; sharpness, more natural colours VS over saturated colours, true blacks.

Camera quality for photos is more or less the same, for some shots the X wins and for others the GS 3 wins.

In real world use, you aren't going to see much difference in terms of speed and smoothness, the GS 3 will appear smoother, but this is just down to the animations & timing that Samsung have used.

Comes down to what is important to you in the end.

EDIT:

Whoops, just seen AT&T, updating my post.......
[HTC One S] k1llacanon:
I love my HTC one s it does have better build quality and feels better in the hand gs3 feels very cheap but has more of a value in the long run it also has NFC which is developing fast and will be very useful in the future
[HTC One S] renehd2:
I know in terms of specifications s3 wins but I really would like to know what new features one X will have with the jelly bean update since HTC make a big step in every update. Also what in afraid of is that HTC is starting to launch so many phones as before and could be possible that stop putting the attention to the one X

- Which one of both has better battery life?

- would be a good idea if I choice the s3 with cm10?

- which one of both scratcha easily?

On ineffabilis deus 1.2. Noticed tts isn't working. I've changed languages, and all that stuff but nothing. I installed s-voice on this rom, and it seems to think it's working but I can't hear anything. Even when I play sample from settings. When I try to play Google tts, it force closes. Tried to post this in development ineffabilis section, but I don't have enough posts! Couldn't find the resolution in there either...

can you be more descriptive about the paper sorry not sure where exactly tp place it...
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
You want to place the paper under the battery just to stabilize it, . DON'T place the paper on the contacts, the purpose is to establish contact on a loose battery so the paper will go away from the contacts.the purpose is To make the battery fit snugly in its area and keep it from wiggling.so you can place a paper wedge on the bottom of the battery to better establish contact. Hope this helps explain it. Best wishes

thanks for the tip but didnt help..also my wife has same setup viper 1.2.1 as well and her phone has same symptom with the incoming calls. didnt happen before but now everytime a call comes in both phones reset.. i love the rom but dont know what to do at this point??
[HTC Sensation] abhay050:
Same problem with me also,reboot on incoming calls..

This only happned with ViperS ROMs.. try ViperS 1.0.0 or AOKP,CM9/CM10 ROMs.. problem will be solved.
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
Did you post this on viper development site ? They really need to know this is a problem! If the developer doesn't know he can't fix the issue. It must be some sort of bug. I run viper myself but do NOT have that problem. Before you go to a different Rom, try this, download a new version of the Rom (previous download could be problematic) then do a FULL wipe wipe data factory reset, wipe cash, wipe dalvik , then reinstall the Rom. See if this solves your issue. This issue is obviously NOT happening to everyone so see if a fresh download will help. Don't use the same download as before!!! Also please make sure the developer knows of this issue by posting on viper. I honestly think a clean install will fix the issue . If it does not then you have no other choice but to switch but before you do please give this a try! Sometimes a clean install will solve these kinds of issues especially if it's a bug not everyone experiences. So give that a try. Please then see how it does. I wish you the best and truly hope this solves the problem. Best of luck!

No data (3g) while flashed to metropcs

I am also having problems with this rom. I have my phone flashed to metropcs, and cant get data to work on this rom, I think this might have something to do with the build prop settings, but i dont know what settings to change. This is happening with all cm 10 roms that i'll tested so far. Is anybody else having this issue?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MicrosoftBug:
I doubt it's the build.prop not allowing your data on metro. More than likely, the data settings are set to Sprint. I'm not sure how to do it on this kind of ROM, but in a TW ROM, you would find what your MSL is via one of the market apps, then go into your data settings by opening the first and typing in ##3282#. Don't know about this ROM though.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ahlexkim:
Whenever I touch a link on chrome or any browser, I end up on a page that would be the homepage. For example, if i google something, and then i click a link, it would redirect me to the main google page. My work around would be to hold the link and open in new tab. This also happens in facebook sometimes too. It seems as though my phone highlights something , and then wh en i touch the screen, it links me to that place.

Anyone else with this problem? Any help?
[Galaxy S III General] aerobharath:
Hi guys...

I dont know how many of you are annoyed with the way u ''multi task'' or bring ''recent apps'' in S3.. im certainly...

I feel ''pressing and Holding the home button'' for a while makes me think its a lllllllloooooooooooonnnnnnggggg time... so being lazy & impatient i came up with an idea....

:good: why cant Samsung or Someone could use the gesture "SWIPE UP FROM THE ""BOTTOM EDGE"" OF THE DISPLAY" to bring up the recent apps screen? Just like the way we bring down the notification bar from TOP EDGE of the display :cool:

Logically I want the device to look for the initial value of Y=0 on the screen to enable this gesture ;)

We all know there is enough gap between the HOME BUTTON and the BOTTOM EDGE of the display?

Kindly say what do you think about this ? A request to Senior Members of the forum to make this idea reach the Samsung Engineers please.. Thank you ;)
[Galaxy S III General] ceo.mtcl:
Can't be implemented until there is some hardware change.
[Galaxy S III General] sRDennyCrane:
When the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update hits soon, that gesture will activate Google Now.
[Galaxy S III General] Meraklis56:
hm.why dont implement it with gestures+siyah kernel (link)

but instead of swiping above the hardware button,swipe on the bottom of the screen to up.
[Galaxy S III General] aerobharath:
thats what i meant... :) thanks for your response :) kindly spread the word... let us have some painless multi tasking ;) :-p
[Galaxy S III General] cammel:
I set that gesture on nova launcher prime. If I Swype up from the app drawer icon it opens recent apps so I don't have to press the home button to see recent apps!

Hope it helps!

Enviado desde mi Xoom running Android Jelly Bean!
[Galaxy S III General] aerobharath:
are you sure about that? I found that only on the G Nexus 4.1....
[Galaxy S III General] ceo.mtcl:
He's looking for gestures on the small area between screen and the hardware home key. That's not possible because the screen doesn't have touch sensitivity there.
[Galaxy S III General] aerobharath:
I meant ''swipe up from BOTTOM EDGE of the screen'' ..... not swipe up anywhere on the screen :)
[Galaxy S III General] aerobharath:
No... I want the device to look for the initial value of Y=0 to enable this feature..... :)
[Galaxy S III General] prking07:
I think is verry possible considering swiping from very top downwards on any app in the sgs3 brings down notifications.
[Galaxy S III General] sRDennyCrane:
Nexus 7, too.
[Galaxy S III General] aerobharath:
you got it right... cheers :)
[Galaxy S III General] ceo.mtcl:
Well that may interfere with functionality of a few apps. This could be implemented though.
[Galaxy S III General] aerobharath:
I have never come across this kind of functionality on any apps i have known... yeah.. kindly spread the word about this... let the Samsung Engineers know about this :)
[Galaxy S III General] ceo.mtcl:
You will not need Samsung engineers for this. If it attracts any kernel developer here then that's all you need. Try gokhan or Franco.
[Galaxy S III General] graffixnyc:
If you use Nova launcher prime you can set up gestures. I just tested it I set a two finger swipe up to show recent apps and it works like a charm

Edit not sure it works when any app has the focus but it does work when on the homescreen

I use nova and set recent apps to double tap

Like others said, you can do all that and much more using gmd control gestures.. i use swipe up and down from the centre one third of the screen to go home..and swipe up-down - up to bring tge recent tasks.. just swipe the finger..i hate the home button on the s3 too ..

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] wgoldfarb:
Several days ago my phone started behaving strangely. Whenever the phone is NOT plugged in, the battery icon flashes continuously. If i plug it in, it stops flashing and behaves normally to show the phone is charging. Also, when the phone is NOT plugged in, the lock screen says it is charging. My battery life is dismal.

When i unplug the phone the battery indicator remains at 100% for a long time, but then drops quickly.Since this started i have to charge the phone twice a day with only moderate usage.

I am now on Shostock2 4.1.5 and Siyah 4.1.1. I tried factory reset, clearing cache and clearing dalvik. I also tried installing a different kernel (dream kernel) and a different ROM (aberration), wiping data, cache and dalvik each time.

I searched the forums, and the only threads i found seem to point to a bad usb port. One thread suggested cleaning the port, which i did using alcohol and compressed air. It helped for about half an hour, and then the problem returned.

Everything seems to point to a usb port that for some reason makes the phone think it is plugged in all the time...perhaps it is somehow shorted? So, it sounds as if my next step is to replace the usb port.

Still, I wanted to ask if anyone had any other possible solutions i could try before sending the phone for warranty repair and get the port replaced (or replace it myself).

Any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:
You are being kind of vague here. For instance. U say u have to charge it twice a day with .moderate usage. What if your moderate usage is 2.5 hours screen on time or something. To me, that means of course u will need to charge again if u want to make it he whole day. A bit moar info? Some cowbell?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] wgoldfarb:
Phalanx

Moderate usage means (for me anyway :) having the phone on, wifi on, gps off, no gaming. I only turn the screen on to check email for a couple of minutes here and there, and to answer the occasional call. Before the problem started my phone used to go all day without recharging. Now, even if i let the phone sit, unused, untouched, screen off (like overnight) battery level will drop over 10%per hour. I tried using better battery stats but none of the triggers have been triggered: if i try "since unplugged" or "since charged" or "since screen off" they all show zero seconds...I'm guessing that being "plugged in" continuously is messing with the triggers.

Still, the battery drain is not really the problem. The problem is that the phone seems to think it is plugged in continuously, even when it is not. It sounds like a bad usb port, or a port about to fail completely, but before i try to replace it i wanted to know if anyone had any other possible ideas.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:
People usually scrub the inside of the port with an alcohol swab if I'm not mistaken. Thought I've seen that posted, never had this problems myself.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] adfurgerson:
My USB port needs to be replaced due to wear ( loose fit of cable). The ones for I777 I have found are $7.00 but are port alone, ones that are for I9100 are $15.00 but are attached to the ribbon cable. I plan to take phone apart to try to determine if the I9100 part will work. The price to have it repaired by MobileTechVideos is $40.00 plus shipping.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dandrumheller:
Definitely sounds like symptoms of a bad USB port to me. One thing you might do if you want additional confirmation, is to flash back to stock firmware (to rule out firmware issues...though I don't know of anyone who has confirmed this type of symptom being caused by bad firmware) and grab an older copy of BBS that will continue to report stats when plugged in (or maybe it will still do this if you set custom ref? I haven't tried.) There is a wakelock that will show for plugged in...vbus_present I think it is. Or you can also watch CPUSpy - if it continually thinks it's plugged in you'll get zero deep-sleep.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] wgoldfarb:
Thanks everyone for the suggestions.i tried sering a custom reference in bbs but no luck. No matter what i try they all show zero seconds. If i look at the battery graph in the system menu, it says the phone has been charging non-stop for the past two days, which is not the case. I will try cpuspy and report back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Chris V:
Get a tooth pick and push up or down on the metal insert inside of port. May take a few tries but will work. I believe it is caused by your chargers 5 little metal cables bent when you plug into phone...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dandrumheller:
BBS update

FYI - I just grabbed the latest RC for BBS, and it now has a toggle-able option to log stats while charging (with a caveat to use at your own risk...stats may be inconsistent). Might be another tool for further investigation.

Wow your posts are hilarious!! MORE COWBELL!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] wgoldfarb:
I tried cpu spy. i left the phone untouched, unplugged screen off for about 90 minutes. Cpu spy shows the phone spent almost all of that time at 200 mhz, never entered deep sleep. So it does seem to be a hardware problem, where the phone thinks it is plugged in continuously. i will carefully try the suggestion above to straighten the pins inside the port..maybe they are bent and somehow shorting. If i screw up the port....well, i probably have to change it anyway :(

Well it's not my cable. What it does is act like it is connected with no cable being connected. Therefor causing it to act like it is charging. Then it prevents deep sleep and wakes and vibrates every so often. Really quite annoying and killer to battery life...
