Would never dump sgs3 for iphone 5 but im really interest in gnote II

[Galaxy S III General] PacketJ:
Are you kidding me? Haven't you seen the comparison yet? Anybody who will dump S3 over i5 has no brain, or not technical enough to see the truth.
[Galaxy S III General] Arsaw:
You have been brain wash by Apple.
[Galaxy S III General] Mithrandir007:
You might want to try out a SGS3 before talking about it again.

It seems you don't know anything about the phone, so this makes you lose all your credibility.

For S-voice, I agree, but the comparison ends there.
[Galaxy S III General] Agaranda:
Has anybody made a serious comparison on sound quality?
[Galaxy S III General] :
Nope, no confirmation it is definitely an A15. Matter of waiting really. Apple will have moved to it for power efficiency more than performance if so, however.

As for the video series, there are a few technical inaccuracies but for the most part I agree with what he says. Android is more complicated to use but once you learn the ins and outs they're pretty even in terms of ease.

As for the new Nexus phones...I do wish I could have waited, but either way I'd be using CM, so not really a concern. The JB issues right now aren't really the norm, hopefully future AOSP releases will be easier for the devs.

Nope seeing as the phone isn't out, though it is likely that Apple are continuing to use Cirrus rather than Wolfson. If trends continue, the iPhone will not be quite as good here.
[Galaxy S III General] Acidpunk:
Yeah I know he takes a few liberties but certain things he's definitely not wrong about, as someone who's pretty much owned devices from say the time of Android 1.6 releasing to now I'd say as much as it pains people to admit it, the sharing and especially social features are nicer on Android:cool:

I'm not buying the Cortex A-15 rumour, not because of the fact that it makes sense but because going by apples trend it would have made more sense to just go dual core the previous gen as the iphone 4/4s were Single cores weren't they running at 800mhz, So Dual core + Speed bump = 2x speed in marketing terms.

I mean if they did go the A-15 Kudos and power to them but I don't see it, not enough waxing lyrical about the A6.
[Galaxy S III General] iris_aim:

[Galaxy S III General] :
For me, the biggest selling point for the Android platform is Jelly Bean. It pretty much sorts Android's biggest weakness (poor UI performance).

The 4S is dual core. Whether the 5 has A9 or A15 remains to be seen...it is possible that they have created an A9 chip that it a lot faster and clocked a bit higher than the A5.
[Galaxy S III General] Jaskwith:
I'm just imagining all these apple r&d people were slaving all hard in their laboratory(dexter voice) coming up with what they deemed top of the line specs....getting ready to unleash this beast of a phone to the world under the title "iPhone 5" and while in the midst of all this....*alakazam!* the SGS3 gets released and apples like "ZOMGWTF!"....what are we gonna do with this glorified universal(if an apple product) remote?!?!? Emergency damage control brainstkrm meeting, and there it was prescribed to just sue Samsung and hopefully sink the SGS3 flagship so their new iPhone wouldn't be released already in last place. Lol. But hey when in doubt throw around high price tags and fancy words and be hard headed and ignorant about thinking your still an innovator in the mobile phone community.

These people willing to swap their sgs3 for iPhone 5...have you read the specs?

Android is years ahead on hardware.

The new iPhone is an elongated 4s with a new shell and camera with a chip that's only x2 speed of the 4s.

not true 4G

guys, I just want to clear this up. 4G is a specific set of international cellular wireless standards. to call itself 4G, a network must meet a set of requirements laid out by these standards. quoted from this site. it says that 4g should be at least 100Mbps (megabits per second, note the small letter b). yet, the IMT-Advanced specification considers them as 4G for as long as there is "a substantial level of improvement in performance and capabilities with respect to the initial third generation systems now deployed" (ref).

afaik, smart and globe's maximum network bandwidth is only 42Mbps (see smart and globe). globe even claims that their WiMax and HSPA+ are already 4G, which is technically not true. most of the users of globe and smart still reports disconnection and delays when using data connection on their mobile networks. indeed, its a very low quality of service with a high marketing value. poor us.
[Networking] deathnotice01:
well whatever that is im still happy to live the day i got 42mbps wireless,

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burgess_boy:
I have a few queries regarding returning my Galaxy S2 for repair under warranty

Background

I bought the phone in August 2011 from eBay without a receipt and it has been an awesome phone but I have recently had a problem with the phone as discussed here which basically has made it unusable as a phone. As the phone is within the warranty period of 24 months I was looking at sending the phone back to Samsung. The phone was originally locked to O2 but was unlocked by myself for use with my T-Mobile sim. It has been restored back to the latest T-Mobile original firmware, unrooted and the download mode counter reset.

Issues

I went to register my phone but unfortunately I do not have the date of purchase of the phone which is a mandatory field when registering. With this in mind I have decided to get in touch with the eBay seller to see if he can provide me with a receipt or at least a date of purchase.

My queries are:

Will I be able to send the phone back without receipt of purchase?

I not, is there any other proof of purchase I can use without a receipt?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theunderling:
As far as Im aware only the original owner has warranty-not you.You can go to samsung site and it tells you when the phone was made.

Also email and ask them if you have warranty or not.

My wife sent her phone back and had to supply a few things including proof of purchase.

And all that hassle for them to fix crashes/overheating.........what did one of em mugs do.....,..reinstall 4.0.4 which I could have done myself!

Your example proves that buying 2nd hand can be/is a false economy.It shouldnt matter who owns the phone for samsung to honour their warranty,but since they are a shower of useless pri**s.......there you go.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SonyXperia:
Hi,

Just went through this same thing. I brought my S2 from ebay and the phone was fine other than it would not get recognised by my laptops or desktops no matter what I tried it always came up with 'unknow device'. The phone was stock but just over a year old. I registered it with Samsung using the purchase date as the one when I brought it form ebay and it registered fine.

I used their service center email facility a couple of times to see what they would suggest but after exhausting all other options and their suggestions I rang them up and asked them to take it back and resolve the issue. They checked the serial number confirmed it was still covered under the 24 month warranty and sent me a returns envelope. They then fixed the phone and have put it in the post just yesterday I should get it back today or tomorrow.

I did explain to them that I was the second owner having just brought it from ebay and they asked when it was originally purchased and I told them I think it must have been July'ish 2011 and they said fine. As the original owner didn't have their receipt anymore I could send them the ebay/paypal receipt from when I purchased it and that would be fine...so I did...job done.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burgess_boy:
Thank you very much sir.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burgess_boy:
How long has it taken for the phone to be fixed since you sent it?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SonyXperia:
got this back today and it now works perfect it was the micro USB at fault so that has been replaced..sorted.

Basically I handed the parcel into the post office on Thursday 6th Sept in the morning and it was delivery to them on Friday they then had the device repaired and back in the post by yesterday morning.

What`s the difference ?

Sorry for useless topic
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wilks3y:
Original Android Dev : This is where the ROM/Kernel is built from the ground up, completely original and made by the developer themselves from start to finish.

Android Dev : This is where the stock rom/kernel is taken and tweaked/changed. Usually these contain sense mods etc.

hope this helps :)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Twinsen72:
My phone just asked me if I wanted to update. It rebooted, showed an animation of the android robot with a spinning figure in its stomach, and then booted like normal.

I've had ICS for a while (and it was a downgrade). I'm running Android 4.04, which I believe I have been running since they pushed me ICS. The baseband and build shows as FH13, but I don't know if that's new to me.

Is there a way to find out what happened? I'd only visited trusted sites and opened trusted emails recently. Not to say I don't usually, but in 24 hours I've only opened emails from my dad and a single forum I frequent. I mention I'm paranoid?

ETA: Forgot to mention, it reinstalled some of the software that came installed on the phone. Kies is the only one I knew the icon for when it was flashing them as they installed. A few had sprint looking icons.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Fh13 is the latest released ota it had a few minor buy fixes that were in ff18. Its still android 4.0.4, only differences are the patches to help with battery life and that speedy Gonzalez scrolling where you touch it and it zooms by everything so fast you can't see what went by. There were a few other minor fixes included in it but those are the 2 main ones I remember off top of my head. So you're OK no need to be paranoid it was official

We are legion, for we are many.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Twinsen72:
Awesome, thanks.

Scrolling in the music player was a PITA. Ooo, the scroll is improved. There is a difference between extremely slow scroll and ludicrous speed. Now I can find a song at a light instead of going literally 500 past it accidentally. But then again, my new car needs an AUX in.

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
Describe the "loop" your device is in while unplugged. Also, what was the main problem, other than not being able to enable fastboot, that prompted you to buy a factory cable?
[Motorola Droid X2] AKShotgun:
Well this has never happened sense alpha 3 but it freezes and crashes all the way. It will freeze crash reboot and then start bootlooping. Causing me to whipe data and cache. And I'm telling you this happens ALLL day. Is this happening to anyone else?

Sent from My Droid X2 running CM9
[Motorola Droid X2] tallyforeman:
What are you doing when the phone does that? If it's really bad, I would wipe it clean and start over from scratch. A little extreme, but somewhere in there, something isn't happy.
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
I'm running CM9 right now and I never get boot loops. I get a freeze up and reboot every now and then but it never gets stuck in a boot loop. Maybe do what was suggested above and start over. For some reason I came back to CM9 from Paranoid Android via a backup I had and it was running funny. I did a factory reset and it helped. Sometimes you just have to start over.
[Motorola Droid X2] Maximinus I:
Cm9 has always been erratic at best. If it bothers you that much I'd suggest running a stable rom.
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
Never to the point of boot looping like hes stating though. At least not for me.
[Motorola Droid X2] AKShotgun:
I have always Been on the rom it just started acting weird with the update to beta1
[Motorola Droid X2] Maximinus I:
Have you changed anything or played around with v6sc script?
[Motorola Droid X2] twitish:
Was it a clean install? Or a dirty flash? Sometimes data isn't compatible while transferring over. It may be extreme, but I would SBF, re-root, and reflash. Honestly, it takes less than 10 minutes.
[Motorola Droid X2] lankin:
I have to agree with the problems in CM9. I was only on it for a week before switching back to CM7. For me CM7 is very stable, just not as pretty as CM9 :(
[Motorola Droid X2] Maximinus I:
Cm7 will always be more stable than cm9. Cm7 gb kernel(we have) cm9 ics kernel( we don't have) its a miracle it even runs this well IMHO.
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
Agreed, which is why I feel fine running CM9 how it currently is. I understand that it wont be perfect with what we have. Personally, I dont find it running THAT bad to make me go back to CM7. The look and feel of Ice Cream Sandwich makes up for the SLIGHT bugginess it has. I find Gingerbread ugly now and will never go back to it.
[Motorola Droid X2] AKShotgun:
Is there even a possibility we can get a ics kernel
[Motorola Droid X2] AKShotgun:
Were you using beta 1? Alpha 5 was great then got worse at beta 1
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
Not unless its leaked to us or Motorola gives us an ICS update. Both will probably never happen though.

---------- Post added at 11:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:38 AM ----------

Also, Beta 1 IS stable and not worse than Alpha 5. This is why Dragonzkiller changed the title to Beta. If you are having problems with Beta 1, it could be a number of reasons. Some may not apply to you, but just saying:

1. You came from Eclipse and are still on 2.3.5

2. you flashed the MashUp mod. (this is already included and will mess stuff up if flashed again)

3. You tried to use the supercharger script and didnt configure it right.

4. you had a bad download

5. You didnt do a factory reset before flashing (This COULD cause bad behavior but isnt highly likely.)

6. You may have some files left over from other ROMs. (SBF may help)

Thats just some off the top of my head. When something isnt right other than what has already been said by the Dev or reported since release, its usually human error. I believe the majority of people using Beta 1 are not having serious problems with it.
[Motorola Droid X2] Maximinus I:
In reality the closest we can hope for is kexec to have a semi functioning ics kernel. I doubt moto even developed ics for the x2. Also make sure to supercharge cm9. It does wonders for stability.
[Motorola Droid X2] AKShotgun:
I am currently running alpha 5. Its fine. For some reason beta 1 was a train wreck for me.
[Motorola Droid X2] metaphysicalgx2:
Beta 1 got worse for me too as time went on. Got to the point where I finally sbf'd and gave the new eclipse a try, but even that is being super glitchy on the phone. Launcher and app crashes no matter what I use. I'm starting to think it's just the phone cuz Its been every rom... Custom and stock. Is it true that Asurion is out of x2s and I'll most lIkely get something else?
[Motorola Droid X2] pellet:
When flashing over to Beta 1, I had the reboot loop as well. I SBF'd to a clean 2.3.4 and wiped all DATA and CACHE before installing Beta 1 - all is fine so far...
[Motorola Droid X2] tallyforeman:
Thanks mods!
[Motorola Droid X2] diestarbucks:
Nothing wrong with discussing things that work or don't work in a ROM, let's just keep it constructive and civil everyone. Thanks!
[Motorola Droid X2] scotty1825:
I was having a lot of sod so I started over. Sbf, flash, bluesleep fix. Now I'm having no problems at all. I have noticed my phone doesn't like extras like supercharger and it runs a lot smooth on the system theme.

Hi guys!

I created this thread mainly because many useful things can be done in Terminal emulator. I will show you some simple commands which are useful.

Very useful if you don't have Root explorer when you need it.

Make sure you take a Nandroid backup before you try out just in case you can restore when you do something wrong! :D

You can get terminal Emulator from here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&hl=en

Note: Most commands need root. So type su and press enter and grant superuser permissions to Terminal Emulator!

First type this command before using any of the commands below just in case(needs root)

su

Some useful commands:

Turning device off (Turns your device off very fast!! ;)):

poweroff

Rebooting:

reboot

Rebooting to Recovery

reboot recovery

Rebooting to download mode:

reboot download

Forcing Most Apps to install to SDcard(Root needed with Terminal Emulator, no need root with ADB):

pm setInstallLocation 2

Alternatively, you can type 0 at the end instead of 2 for Auto location install mode or 1 for Internal memory install mode

To check what the current install location is:

pm getInstallLocation

Mounting R/W in system(Use with caution)

mount -o rw,remount -t /system

If above one doesnt work, try this.

mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system

Unmounting R/W in system.

mount -o ro,remount -t /system

If above code doesn't work, try this

mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system

Moving files from sdcard to system (Use after mounting R/W):

busybox cp /sdcard/<path> /system/<path>

Example: busybox cp /sdcard/demo/framework-res.apk /system/framework/

Changing file permissions to rw-r--r-- (Use after mounting R/W):

chmod 644 <path>

Example 1: chmod 644 /system/app/mms.apk

Example 2: chmod 644 /system/app/*.apk (This command changes the file permission of all apps in the folder to rw-r--r--)

Changing the current directory:

cd <path>

Example: cd /sdcard

Listing all the files and folders under the current directory:

ls

If you want to view all the files and folders in your sdcard, type:

cd /sdcard

ls

Making a new folder:

mkdir <path>

Example: mkdir /sdcard/newfolder

Removing files (For System files, Use after mounting R/W)

rm <path>

Example: rm /system/app/demoapp.apk

Removing Folders:

rmdir <path>

Get info of your build.prop values

getprop

That's all for now. I will add a few more later!

If you have any more new commands or if I have given an improper command, feel free to post it in the thread

Thanks for reading.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] system.img:
That is the use of the bootanimation command. You can stop it either by pulling battery or closing terminal emulator!

But what I did to stop it was to rotate my phone to landscape and somehow close terminal emulator.

But in ADB it is easier to stop using exit command.
