Is this the best way to back up now? I remember that there was once a method using dd. But it's didn't always restore correctly right? Are there any other methods?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
This is the standard way to backup your IMEI. The old method is not as comprehensive, read the OP of the method that you quoted and you will see why this way is more complete.

Hi guys, i just found out i'm going to Korea in 2 days so havent had lot of time to investigate (will dig more) but i just wanted to ask you the expert about some advice.

I'm seriously considering GSIII or Note2. If we focus on GSIII i'm wondring if the Korean model is the same as in EU and more specifically the Swedish model?

Also:

- Do you know if it has Swedish language and keyboard is supported in Korean model

- Is the hardware the same? koread vs Swedish

- Anything else i should consider?

- Any pro/con korea vs EU model?

ps. really disappointing about iphone5 screen size :(

thanks for any info.
[Galaxy S III General] Daelyn:
They use different frequencies over there. It's in the hardware. A Korean version won't work well in EU.

Languages are never a problem on Android however.
[Galaxy S III General] btemtd:
Just wait bit and get the new Gs3 which is quad processor and 2gb ram

Plus the Korean has this useless ugly dmb antenna
[Galaxy S III General] vampyren:

About LTE. Model I'm not really seeing this as major

- Select each app (Google services) you wish to enable, select "Enable" for all of them

I have a question & a request ..

Where I can get the Asphalt 7 HD??

(APK Gameloft Store)

Since I have the Heat (Google Play) with enhanced graphics mode and everything. But also still very bad the graphics compared gameloft hd .. :(

Well I hope someone can help me with this and if I have to spend the apk even by email. :fingers-crossed:

Or the link where you can download it since (I do not have credit card) to buy from Gameloft Store. :crying:

Thanks Friends and Greetings . :good:

There doesn't seem to be an Asphalt 7 HD that isn't Heat. The gameloft site says "Asphalt 7: Heat HD" as well
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D.Spirit:
You can buy it via your phone bill.

Open your phone browser and type "gameloft android" in adress bar. It will direct you to gameloft website, then go to Asphalt 7 page and buy it.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yekasangredevago:
if it's true, you're right. Well like I was understood.

If I download from Google Play is Asphalt 7 HEAT

But if you download it from the Gameloft Store is HEAT Asphalt 7 HD.

And that apk is what I would get. But I can not find it anywhere for free. : (
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yekasangredevago:

From that account I can say you buy?

There's even an application that is the Black Market where you can download free applications for payment are in the Google Play. just that this app (Asphalt 7 - Heat HD - Gameloft Store) can not find it anywhere.

The truth that I do not understand your comment.

You pay for all your apps? I do not think you have never downloaded a paid app away.

[Galaxy S III General] antdawe:
Hi all.

I am slightly disappointed with my galaxy s3.

I recently made the switch from owning all iPhones since their release. IMO, iPhone never really did enough to compete with the rest of the field so I switched. How wrong was I!

I must admit I am sick to death with having to go into task manager to close apps and clear ram. If I don't do this pushing the home button from an app will result in the device hanging.

For a device that has some much power under the hood its really frustrating to see they haven't really made a good barrier between the device and android. For everyday tasks like messaging, phone, scrolling contacts etc iPhone beats it for speed and usability hands down. However, NOVA 3 blew me away and runs smooth as can be. Sadly this isn't enough to keep me so Its been short lived and maybe i'll return when android runs more efficiently and definitely needs to be smoother on devices.
[Galaxy S III General] Baldilocks:
I don't experience any of those problems. Why do you kill tasks and keep clearing RAM? On Android that is a big no-no. Let Android manage all of that on it's own. When you keep killing tasks it has to restart them and that slows things down instead of speeding them up.

If you really want a smooth experience, root your device and install Titanium Backup and freeze all the bloatware that's not needed.

Having owned every iPhone, I can say that my GS3 is much smoother and quicker to respond than any of them ever were.
[Galaxy S III General] Ausboy 2011:
:banghead: u do that next time a little reading will help u to understand
[Galaxy S III General] antdawe:
I understand that forcing processes to close will result in them having to reload again at some point. However, if i do not do this it'll end up a million pieces. If i could take a video of it I would, actually maybe I will tomorrow so maybe guys like yourselves who have had android for long periods maybe able to help me out.

let me give you an example. I open ebay app do some browsing (home button out), look on bbc news website (home button out), click on phone then contacts, wait for 2-3 seconds for it to respond, click on the letter of the first name i want to call again wait a couple of seconds, end the call and press the home button, wait 5 seconds with just my background picture and the square dotted icon which contain the apps.

If i clear the ram all of the above run smooth again.
[Galaxy S III General] juliano_q:
On S-Voice disable the option to lunch S-Voice with a double press on the home button. This option causes home button lag.

Don't kill processes. This option that Samsung gave us on stock rom is terrible. You shouldn't use it, never.

[Galaxy S III General] Baldilocks:
More tips.

Go into Settings>Developer Options

Set all of the animation scales to 0.5x instead of 1x

Then turn on Force 2D GPU rendering.
[Galaxy S III General] irish-sid:
You mention pressing home button to leave apps. Doing this leaves them running, true 'multitasking'. That's fine, but if it's not an app you'll be using for a while hold down the back button to close it. Alternatively, hold down the home button to bring up running and previously used apps, either swipe away the ones you don't want or remove all. This is better than clearing ram because the stuff that should be running still will be, but the apps you've been using won't.

Also, there is no need to root and debloat if you don't want. You just need to learn to manage better like i said above. Android is a different kettle of fish to ios, there is a bit of a learning curve, but it's worth sticking with.

Jelly bean (Android 4.1) will also sort out your lag woes with scrolling etc.

[Galaxy S III General] Tomatoes8:
Basically don't use it like IOS. If you want a ridiculously fast UI, download holo launcher HD, or any other launcher with swipe up, and set swipe up to open recent apps. Then put your most used apps on the home screen and a widget that tells you the date and weather. Then just do everything from the notification bar. With this set up you can basically do everything with swipe down, swipe up, and press icon. Don't even have to scroll since most of the settings you need are in the notification tray but their is a settings button available 24 7 if you need it.
[Galaxy S III General] haranbh:
In my opinion, Android high-end phones are not made to be used with a stock rom/kernel/settings.

When someone asks me "What phone should I get?" I analyse the person's profile to answer that.

If he/she is a basic user, that want internet, email, games, etc... = iPhone.

If he/she is a curious person that wants to squeeze max power out of his/her phone = GS3.

So, the best thing that you can do, is to pick a custom rom that you like, flash, root and customize. That's what Android is made for. :good:

[Galaxy S III General] a67543210:
Jelly bean is so fast. The latest beta versions do not have the redraws. You can flash Jelly bean, or wait for the official release next month. For texting, I use Swype. It's a one finger sliding typing, which is fast. On android, you can change the keyboard, if you don't like the one you are using. Coming from iPhone, you probably are used to typing with two fingers, with your eyes focused I the smaller screen. So you'll need a little adaptation for your mind to open up, not only to Android default keyboard, but also the aspect of using any other keyboard, as normal
[Galaxy S III General] btemtd:
I owned 2 of the Iphones before GS3 and there is no way i will go back. What a joke look at the difference in graphics and features in the UI. IOS is the most simple looking UI i have ever seen, you cannot even customise it no wonder it doesnt ever lag. When we start customising things as such we might see some lag as we tend to push everything to the limits and IOS you cannot do this. Saying all that I still dont know what your talking about I really dont get lag at all . I have widgets everywhere, my background is LIVE customisation all over the place and I still run smooth as. And thats with 1gb of ram. You wait till i get my new gs3 with quad+2gb thats going to be nuts

First of all welcome at the dark side (or is it the bright one) :P

As already told, leave the ram be as it is, you don't have to free it or kill anything, android handles that for you, it's not like a desktop.

What your talking about is a launcher redraw, update to one of the latest ics firmwares or even go straight to jelly bean LI6 & LI7 are pretty good and stable, even while they are still beta.

I would as well recommend you to read more about android and inside this forum.

The biggest difference between ios and android is that ios maybe runs smoother out of the box in some cases, but that's it there is no way to enhance it.

Android on the other hand gives you the possibility to modify it like you want to, even without rooting, you don't like the launcher, download a different from play store, the keyboard sucks for your opinion, no problem, download another one and so on.

And when it comes to rooting your possibilities are close to endless (for sure within the borders of android/linux, but even this isn't true every time).

But all of those possibilities you need to research yourself, that's the downside.

So if you like to get deeper into the android world and don't fear research to get the best out of it, go ahead, if you don't want to, your maybe right and the switch wasn't the best idea.
[Galaxy S III General] antdawe:
This has to be the most frustrating operating system ever invented.

The operating system lags.

I was running the latest jelly bean build but still had a lag.

My drinking partner just bought one and he says his old Galaxy mini 2 ran smoother in general use.

Of course things like games, nova3 for example are very very impressive.

Samsung have made a great phone but android will never get that edge due to the amount of devices it has to run on.

Anyway S3 has gone. Using my old 3GS until Friday.

It was short lived but thanks for your support all the same

All you had to do was download exdialer from play store...

And also stop pushing the home button thinking you're closing these apps down. All you're doing is leaving them running in the background.

If that gets you frustrated or you are too lazy to do that, then your old iPhone is the right phone for you
