[General Questions and Answers] jodelol:
Hello,

Just need opinions here.

Is it really an advantage to upgrade to android 4?

I mean: I own a HTC desire Z and apart from the older hardware I see no great additions with android 4.

Every rom I trie is getting slow after a while, it's just like Windows on a PC. The most annoying thing to me is

that after a while of using the phone, there is a delay in answering calls or just hanging up. In my opinion the most important thing

for a phone is "calling". That should be priority number one!. But with all the apps installed and used, the calling app is somehow pushed

away in a dark corner.

I can just decide to leave it all and install nothing, just use it is a phone, but the phone has so many possibilities that it seems

so dull to not use it.

Maybe i didn't use the right roms, but Mimicry 1.5.0, [MIUI][10-08-12]Light v4 2.8.10, Strawmetal miui, cyanogenmod based roms, especially Andromadus roms should be OK, right?

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but what?

Additional features vs fast and stable?

And what features are so really important to forget about fast and stable?

Someone?
[HTC One X] shani248:
So i recently bought the official HTC Desk Dock and while trying to use it, found out that my connectors were rusted. When you'd put the phone on the dock, it'd make crackling noises, at times won't go into dock mode, you'll have to move it around a bit to make it realise it's on a dock.

Aren't these supposed to be gold plated / rust proof ? I'm quite annoyed that such details were omitted. I tried cleaning it but it won't go away, comes back next day. Also looked under a microscope and it's all porous now. Anyone else had this issue ?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cask:
I've just made the transition over to android (iphone user for 4 years) and everything has been pretty much pain free until I stumbled across this problem in Gmail.

I cannot seem to move any messages from my inbox to another folder. I came across a thread on a google groups forum (cant post link until I have made 10 posts) that stated that it is not possible to move messages in Gmail on an android running on Jellybean... Is this really the case? :eek:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kangburra:
What ROM are you on? 4.04 is not Jellybean.

http://source.android.com/source/build-numbers.html
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cask:
Can't find ROM on "About device"

Android Version: 4.0.4

Kernel Version: 3.0.15-Siyah-s3-v1.5.2

Baseband version: I9300DXLH1

Build No: IMM76D.I9300XXBLH1

Where do I find what ROM I am using?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mkvarner:
You are on ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich).
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cask:
Ok... So I have a few questions now.

1. How do I determine my ROM?

2. Why can't I move emails to other folders in Gmail

3. Should I upgrade to Jellybean?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
Gmail does not have anything similar to folders, only labels.

While the difference may seem minor, labels allow an email to be in several categories while it can always only be in a single folder.

Working with labels in Gmail works just fine on current Wanamlite which is based on the latest Samsung-leaked Jellybean-build.

I've also not encountered any issues when using the experimental Cm10 builds.

As noted by parent, you are on ics where no issues are known either. Please elaborate and if possible use screenshots to explain the issue
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arsaw:
Normally, build number will tell you the rom you are using. Based on the info you gave, you are using stock rom with custom kernel.

No issue to move emails to different labels here.

Wait for official Jellybean to upgrade.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cask:
A bit late for that lol... Just done a data wipe and downloading wanamlite.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=6102

Is there a way to upgrade to the lastest Jellybean directly through my device?

Regarding gmail and labels... don't any of you find it really annoying having a messy inbox with loads of messages that are included in other folders? So far this is the only I really miss about the iphone.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] winsome:
I assume that you're asking how to officially update GS3 directly from the phone, and the answer is you can't do that yet. Because all the Jellybean firmwares you find on XDA are "beta"-releases. The official Jellybean release is allegedly out on the 12th of Sep.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wbbigdave:
NO not really, you really need to log onto mail.google.com and sort out your filters / labels. You can force items which are labeled upon receipt to "skip" the inbox. This will however mean you aren't necessarily notified of the item's arrival.

Ok so it doesn't "just work" but it is a lot more powerful when you get into the real workings of Gmail. What where you using before on the iphone? Was it the native mail app? Did it integrate in the background to Gmail? Have you tried using the Samsung Mail app (I personally have never used the baked in email application on any droid device i have owned)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beatsleigher:
Wow... No offense, but wow...

You mean Ice cream Sandwich ^^

Your S III is still running ICS, if it says "4.0.4" Jelly Bean is 4.1.x

But that's not why I answered :)

Try going into Settings -> Applications -> Google Mail -> Clear Data/Clear Cache.

That normally helps out, somewhat. If not, try flashing GAPPS. (Look in the forums, I do not have a link handy. Sorry)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cask:
Yeah I was using the built in mail app which managed all of my email accounts with no issues.

I could try the Samsung built in app... ideally I would like to have my hotmail account included.

Thanks

Hi guys,

If you want to root you neo v having .587 firmware and want to use overclocking feature. Use the latest Alliance kernel for neo/neo v .587 firmware, which is available now.

[HTC Desire S] twiice:
First time I've checked forum for some weeks now. Sad to say there's hardly anything new. Have the devs upgraded their phones and moved on? I'm still using Reaper....

A special mention to BlindnDumb. Apart from CM10(still problems) and MIUI, he's the only person keeping interest in custom ROMs alive in my opinion...

Cheers...
[HTC Desire S] fosco_:
Sure? check again, at least 5 custom roms with JB and nightly or weekly updates, same for ICS roms, official ICS RUU and of course its corresponding custom rom, new radio, new hboot... A modified Sense kernel with overclock and many other features, new hboot 7.x... Don't think Desire S scene is dead at all
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edl0022:
Defy+ bottom's button light is missing with CM9 20120902 version

if i adjust the button light then the button's light can light up.

is that anyway to make this always on when the screen is on. is it a bug or any option in the setting menu?

thks
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] premaca:
I guess it's a bug which doesn't work with auto brightness. Try changing brightness and see. I use CM10 and with auto brightness my button back light doesn't work, might be same with CM9.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Effsi:

If you're using the kernel I made recently, take the libaudio from a cm7 build I made for nexus modems. I modified the drivers so that sound is better. Also, you shouldnt need the bcm4329.ko since I included that in the ramdisk.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Effsi:
Ya I figured as much about the wifi driver but since it was in the rom already figured may as well make it the updated version. I guess I could remove it to save a few kb in size. And I am using the libaudio from your most recent build, I was originally using official cm7 since I had the kernel you did before with the whistle issue.

[Epic 4G Android Development] omair2005:
Are you having theme FC on you? I'm on miui ics and it Fcs in the middle of scanning my sdcard
[Epic 4G Android Development] zacnking:
I haven't that's interesting. Did you install the main file as well as the second plus one and a wipe of everything? Maybe try another fresh download and see if that solves it. Don't flash anything else other than miui
[Epic 4G Android Development] Effsi:
themes worked for me, although I only tested like 3 of them. With ics the plus package isn't an addon but a whole rom so it shouldn't need one flashed then the other. with gb the plus package is just an addon, which I prefer that method more, personally. I don't like ICS at all and will recommend the GB build over it any day. Only things I like about ICS is the google now ability.

In other news... work just picked up so less time, no pc of my own to work on things still, still active with cm10 kangs, and quickly threw together a JoyOs GB kang that hasn't been worked on other than initial boot. MIUI JB still hasn't been worked on for multiple reasons (lack of pc time, lack of time where it's acceptable for my phone to be not operating, annoyed from the last million failed attempts, etc...) but I will take another stab at it again when I next get a large chunk of consecutive time available.

Thank you all for using my rom and for the support.

So I tried this out. Backed everything up. I was on TWRP. Formatted and wiped everything.

Installed ROM, MODEM, and NYAN 4.3 just to test. Did not inject twrp and CWM was installed. Everything booted fine.

Just had no wifi. Wifi only device so bit of an issue. It happens sometimes even on my Note 2.

So I booted back and wiped everything. Even fixing permissions and all the install constantly failed.

So I wiped and installed CWM and tried to reboot the recovery...Stuck at splash screen. Tried to reboot recovery.

Stuck at splash screen. Tried to use odin. Computer won't read it now. Used three different cables, rebooted the computer, tried getting the drivers to re install, and battery/no battery method.

Edit: Tried a 3rd port and it installed and read in ODIN. Still having failed issues with it though. Report soon.

So flashed stock odin pit and tar. All good. Rebooted to flash the radio and nyan. Should have done one at a time just to be sure, but it's probably nyan. Hope I don't have to go through the hole process again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] didhiy:
iirc miui use different path for wifi module, so wifi won't work with cm9 kernel without specific miui initram
[Epic 4G Android Development] Darkangels6sic6:
I thought it would work because of the mod pack that includes Nyan. And did not think a wifi issue like that would mess up the entire system format.

I had to go stock again. Didn't flash kernel or modem since it's just a wifi device
[Epic 4G Android Development] Effsi:
I don't remember having issues in wifi when uploading them in the past and I don't see it listed in the bug section so I'm hoping that means it did work at some point. I have noticed quit a few of what goo.im uploads that I put up that weren't lost seem to be corrupt. Make sure to verify the md5 if possible. For sure the gb version didn't have that issue as that's the one I mainly used, ics version not so much. Never liked ics.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Darkangels6sic6:
Not sure what's wrong, but even coming from odin wipe and format it, but it can be kind of loopy. The battery drain seems a bit much.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Effsi:
Use screen filter from the market for capacitive lights to time out. Works as long as the keyboard isn't open. Upon opening the kb the lights won't disable again until the next screen off on. Ymmv but that's what its doing for me.
