Has anyone noticed a drop in quality with bluetooth handsfree with the new radios? I first noticed it with the leaked 4.0.4 radios so i flashed back to 4.0.3. I tried this one when it was released and its the same thing the hands free audio is really choppy. Im back to 4.0.3 again. Its the same with multiple roms and various handsfree devices, all the same thing. Has anyone noticed this? Its making me nuts. Any advice is greatly appreciated. 7

Hi, I cannot get ODIN or QPST to recognize my phone.

I have DK's CM10 RC0 Nightly ROM, installed the drivers many times (and uninstalled many times) - both Kies and regular drivers.

Usually it shows a E:/ and F:/ under 'Portable devices' in device manager, and when I'm in Developer options-> android debugging->enabled it shows SAMSUNG Android phone on the device manager.

I tried restaring and plugging in and plugging in and restarting Odin, w/o result.

Any ideas? please.

thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xcorat:
no one? wow
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] im0rtalz:
30 mins wow... but have you installed any other drivers lately? Did you try asking in that other forum since you are using a Rom that is not even posted here on xda. Have you considered using mobile Odin or terminal emulator for the moment?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xcorat:
Oh, and the wow was because it said only 1 views.. which is weird, woudn't ya think? :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
Not really weird at all.

This is a question that gets asked a WHOLE LOT. So others probably just ignored it and hoped you would look for the answer yourself via the search function and google.

There are sh$t loads of reasons for phones not showing up:

Bad USB cable (s) (and yes the one you have been using may now be bad having developed too much resistance). You have no idea how many times just using a brand new cable has resolved connectivity issues!

Old drivers (for other Sammy devices)

Bad USB port(s) on PC

Bad/dirty USB ports on the phone.

Not having Debug/Dev options enabled on phone.

Having the storage set to MTP, or PTP on the phone.

Easiest thing is try a new cable. Seriously. Then try other ports on your PC or maybe try connecting to another PC (that will let you know if your device's USB may be an issue or not)

I'd try removing the old drivers on your system first. Then reboot it. Next grab the Sammy drivers here

Then try connecting again.

Maybe try putting the phone in download mode [power it off then power on + volume down then volume up to OK into download mode], then plug it into the PC and see if it shows up.

Hope that helps.

Good luck.

Go try it and let us know how you like your new doorstop. Lets see, different radios, different processors, almost entirely different hardware on a different carrier, sounds legit I bet you'll have LTE and hspa+ after you flash that. You do realize there's an aokp JB version in our Dev section right? But seriously I think you need to do a hell of alot more reading and research before you flash ANYTHING on your phone. If you don't read first, don't come back and start a new thread crying about your phone being bricked, everything you need to know to flash a rom is here or elsewhere on teh interwebz better practice honing your google-fu. Thanks for the laugh tho.

The problem is not so much with the Rom as with the kernel to run it.

You make a very good point, if he is even asking the question, I don't think he should even be flashing the JB Rom for Epic.

At least it was the same class of device and not the epic 4g or s3.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Blazing angel:
Hi everyone, I've got a small question to ask.

I've been reading reviews about all the different North American bound GSIII's, and I have noticed that while the "maximum theoritical speed" of lte is around double that of hspda+, there isn't really a difference in usability .

I mean to say, when you use the phone, it is blazing fast right? Not gimped :victory:

I'm about to get it on a Canadian Carrier that uses AWS, and was wondering if I should spring for the lte, non AWS version.

Thanks in advance

(sorry if this isn't even a question :p)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] stevessvt:
Of course it makes a difference. It means the battery will last a fair amount longer.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jaygajay:
IMO HSPA+ is good enough. You won't notice the real world difference between the two, given that you have enough HSPA coverage. LTE is a newer technology but as I've heard it drains battery too quick. I'd prefer a longer battery life with decent speeds throughout a day than to have the phone die on me more quickly just to boast a faster speed that I probably won't notice.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] elesbb:
I agree with both. Wish T-Mobile wouldn't be putting time and money towards lte. It's already faster than Verizon. Even on my aosp ROM which doesn't get the full speeds it blew away Verizon lte using the speed test app.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jjlean:
Skype and stuff would be clearer on LTE of course, but with a strong 4g signal it is pretty fast. Most people crab about bandwidth, but in all reality most people never use near all of it. On a phone getting 15 or 20 meg you can do anything. What does LTE speed test at?

I know when I had Verizon my battery would go super fast on LTE.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] joshnichols189:
When I had Verizon in Chicago I would speed test around 30-40mbps. Sure it's cool to see big numbers, but it isn't a huge deal.

LTE is a bit gentler on battery these days as well. My friend's S3 gets pretty good battery life on Verizon but he also has amazing LTE coverage where he is.

Sent from my SGH-T999
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kmdub:
There are other improvements in LTE other than raw speed, such as latency, air interface, architecture, etc. Granted HSPA is an improvement over standard UMTS, and actually can provide plenty of raw bandwidth for most applications, if implemented properly. Some of the architectural changes are already, at least partially, implemented in HSPA.

With that said, I have never found myself regretting not having LTE (on T-Mobile) over HSPA. I get 10Mb down easily and sometimes more in my area (DC Metro). I imagine LTE is faster in this area in terms of raw speed, but I don't really care. I will take the better battery life and simultaneous data/voice any day over that extra data speed at this point in time. I actually think that the way T-Mobile is going about the upgrade makes a lot of technical sense. Granted the CDMA carriers were at a bit of a disadvantage when it comes to implementing LTE (frequencies aside). Since LTE is actually in the GSM family, sharing some standards and concepts with those descendants, they have had to implement more of a hybrid system.

Bottom line - I think HSPA is a much better trade off for speed, functionality, battery, etc. at this point in time than LTE is. I wouldn't worry about not having LTE in the GS3 at this time. I think that by the time T-Mobile gets their LTE network up and running in most major areas, the next generation phones will be here. If you are into marketing hype, by all means go for LTE now. If you are more into real world results, then don't worry about it, and be happy with HSPA for now.

True, and that will only improve over time, just as early UMTS/HSPA implementations did. Early LTE chipsets really had horrendous battery life, to the point of severely limiting the usefulness of LTE. I actually think 2013 will be a good year for LTE adoption. T-Mobile is right on schedule, they just have to fight that marketing battle.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Snook321:
I still prefer HSPA+ 42mbps... I average 20mbps down and 3mbps up
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] flowssosick:
big battery drainer, stick with HSPA+
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Blazing angel:
Thanks for all the replies. I guess I'll just get the AWS SIII then (not on tmobile though :victory:)

BTW: I didn't know lte couldn't do voice/data at the same time! )
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kmdub:
Oh no, it can. It's just the way it is implemented right now. It is not an LTE limitation.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Don_Perrignon:
Between T-Mobile and AT&T, T-Mobile has the best HSPA+. I can get 24Mbps in my city. So, it makes a difference of about 10Mbps, it's not a big deal when you really think about it and use it.

T-Mobile (by accident) will have the best data coverage in the future. Look at how good their HSPA+ is right now and then think about when they're finished rolling out LTE. People can get one signal or the other.

To answer your question, it matters if you and your friends are racing who can download a file the fastest. You'll lose by two seconds... :p
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] redhooka:
That's what I average here in the Placerville, CA area. My friends who have Verizon LTE get pretty much the same speeds.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Blazing angel:
Last question: does lte even make a difference in battery life? I mean, if it does, is the t999's battery life slightly better than the i747's?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kmdub:
Yes, it does if you have it on. The reason being that LTE radios and chips are not as mature as HSPA implementations. It was the same situation with the move from GSM to UMTS. Remember the first iPhone didn't have 3G primarily because of battery drain on 3G networks. The situation quickly improved, as it will/is with LTE.

So, I would say the battery life in the T999 would be better than the i747 if you actually use LTE on the latter. That is just an educated guess though. By how much, I don't know, but I imagine it would be measurable. Might want to ask on the i747 forum about their battery life. It might not be a big deal.

What's the difference in your bills if you don't mind me asking?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] oilfighter:
T-Mobile customer since Voicestream days, so I'm a loyal customer

Here's my personal experience.

I have a Verizon LTE Mifi. One day I was sitting in Portland air port waiting for a flight. Bored, I started to surf the net. 15 minutes in, I remember thinking to myself, WOW, T-Mobile is fast today! Then I saw my wifi icon is lit, and realized that I have forgotten to turn off my Mifi, and I was running on LTE.

So, yes, you CAN tell the difference, but when T-Mobile's 3G is running correctly though, it's not a huge difference, but certainly noticeable.

BTW, even on Verizon's slow 3G speed, I can still make Skype calls, and it worked flawlessly.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] xidica:
Friend of mine has at&t gs3 and he averages around 31mbps down and 20ish mbps up on LTE. The other day he got 61mbps down but only 100kbps up on one speed test. I'm perfectly happy with tmobile HSPA+ though, and have been getting exceptional battery life on just rooted stock with slight debloating.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] otariq:
I finally hit 12mbps in toledo last night my old g2 was struggling for even 5 I thought the area just sucked but it's probably the better antennas in this s3. My wifi does 15 so im happy with this. When I go to bigger cities like Chicago and nyc I know I'll get at least 20 so I could care less for lte. Even with lte ur not constantly getting 40 or so mbps that's just the peak of ur speed
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] joshnichols189:
Correct. The G2 is only capable of 21mbps while the s3 is capable of 42mbps. I haven't been able to get over 15 in Chicago though on CM10

I hit around15 in downtown Chicago with my g2 so I was just assuming s3 would do better maybe not idk but nyc for sure should be super fast
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] aznmode:
Also to point out in most cases you wont get LTE everywhere yet since is still new as you would HSPA which have been around longer and have been deployed in more areas. The only thing I dont like about HSPA is low latency compared to LTE but if you get HSPA+ signal then thats not an issue. However LTE has both lower latency and higher up stream so you will see some advantage during page loading but not enough to really complain about.

Hi, newbie HTC One X user here...

Is there anyway to use just 3G, instead of 4G? I know you can switch to just 2G (and not 3G/4G) but I wouldn't mind a compromise where I just use 3G.

It would help my battery drain a lot, I think.

Thanks in advance.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] rbrugman:
There is a way if you use a custom rom, but to be honest, you're not going to see any better battery by doing so. 2G/3G/4G will all give you roughly the same runtime. There are much easier ways to save battery. The only noticeable difference is if you use LTE, but even then, it's negligible.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jayman1986:
Hi guys,

I've just moved here from form Xperia Arc S. Ive had my Acro S LT26w for a week now and love it.

In the previous Xperia models I've used (X10, then Arc S and now Acro S) we've always had a thread where we shared the phones regional footprint and also share different regional firmware.

I'm particularly interested because I'm in UK and Acro S is not released here so I bought one from eBay from a Singapore seller, but I'm not sure whether the phone is from Singapore or elsewhere.

Also a collection of FTF backups for the different regions would help anyone doing any customizing to easily flash back using flashtool.

If people can kindly upload ftf files onto a sharing site and PM me the links, then I will put collection on OP-I'll even credit you ;)

Anyway here's how to get customization Version- go to stock dialer and type *#*#service#*#* (*#*#7378423#*#*), Service Info, software information, and write down number under "customization version."

Hey guys!

Just a quick question, is there a method or something that can be done to the note so that anything that requires saving (photo editors, ringtones etc) can be made to save on the SD?

Like in snotes and memo there is no opinion to save to SD, it goes all to internal memory.

So just wondering if there is a manner to just make it so everything saves on SD.

If not all good, just annoying every time i do a full wipe for a rom (and forget to transfer the stuff i need to SD card) i lose it haha.

Thanks in advance guys
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeetu1981:
Not sure if you can save data for all apps to SD by default, but why you need to format/wipe internal storage for flashing different rom everytime? Your images and files will remail safe if you wipe in recovery and then flash another rom. Just a thought :D

Sent from my GT-N7000
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andyboo:
Sometimes if I don't full wipe, the rom has bugs and some apps don't work. So when I switch I generally do a full wipe in recovery.

And it's when I forget to back things up from internal to external is when I lose some things.

Not a real big problem, but just wanted to see if I could somehow make everything save On SD by defult
