[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hmmwhatsthisdo:
Both have stock batteries - I made sure of this because I was aware of the NFC antenna inside them.

Has anyone actually TESTED it and confirms it sends data between two entirely stock FL6 Skyrockets?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] abender_s0c7:
I tested it with my Skyrocket while using CyanogenMod 9 and a coworker's Galaxy S3. When he would beam an image my phone would only show tag data. When I beamed a YouTube video it worked appropriately. I think there is some incompatibility between the S3 stock ROM and CyanogenMod.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hmmwhatsthisdo:
I'm not talking about an S3 and a Skyrocket running CM9. I'm talking about two skyrockets running the stock ROM.

PS: The S3 uses NFC to establish a Bluetooth or Wi-Fi direct connection - it wouldn't work over Android Beam between an S3 and a non-S3 anyways.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 308holes:
When I run the stock ICS ATT ROM, my NFC works great. I have read tags, erased them, and written to them. Don't know of anyone else with NFC capabilities so I haven't tried the beam. Now if I could just get NFC to work in CM9.1:(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hmmwhatsthisdo:
See, I have the exact inverse of that situation. I have two Skyrockets to test Android Beam on (unsuccessfully), but no NFC tags available for me to test.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kishke:
Just buy a few tags its really cheap. Also probably 1 of your cards have NFC chip in them credit card or bus card, if NFC is working on the phone you should hear a sound while placing it near the back of an unlocked phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hmmwhatsthisdo:
Again, I have no NFC tags or any method of buying them. And my (parents') credit cards are all non-NFC. I know NFC was originally made as an extension to RFID, would those be readable?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kishke:
I tried to read a store RFID and it was a no go.

I'm guessing you have no credit card or paypal? If you do you can order a tag for less than a dollar.

So I have found what look to be good looking two piece cases on on Amzer.com. Problem is I don't know how good they actually are. They are cheap in price though.

I was looking at http://www.amzer.com/Amzer-Hybrid-Snap-On-Silicone-Case-Black-Blue-P94363.htm

and also http://www.amzer.com/Amzer-Silicone-Perforated-PolyCarbonate-Hybrid-Case-Black-Black-P94345.htm

Does anyone have any information on if Amzer makes a good case or how they hold up. I'd love to get a ballistic case but don't have that kind of money LOL (Who does now right?).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again

[Galaxy S III Accessories] DKYang:
Amzer are okay, but most of them you can buy from ebay at a cheaper price since they are basically rebranded China stuff.

I bought one similar to the second case you posted. Only difference is this one has a kickstand. Bought it for $4.

Does anyone have the stock recovery img for the tmobile springboard? I flashed CWM recovery on both recovery and recovery2 and and it will not boot into the os. It does boot into CWM recovery and fastboot and I need to apply the full update.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] cmstlist:
Were you on Honeycomb or ICS when you flashed CWM? There are stock recoveries available for both and they are not cross-compatible.

Attached is stock HC recovery (from an international firmware) and stock ICS recovery (from Springboard update).
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oaba09:
Even though I already have a nexus 7, I decided to purchase a kindle fire yesterday(2011 version) because it was being sold at a very low price($115). Since the new kindle fire has already been announced, I decided to help the seller out by buying 1(The seller is my friend).

I'm gonna use my kindle fire for my rooting experiments(I'm new to the rooting scene). I was able to successfully do a stock root but I'm thinking of upgrading to a custom ICS rom. Since I'm new to the scene, I'm hoping to get an advice regarding what rom to get. I'm looking for something that has the least bugs. I'm avoiding the Jellybean roms for now.

Hi all,

I rooted my Sprint SGS3 shortly after purchasing it on launch day, and ever since then, I get prompted to download and install an OTA update about once a week. I always accept the download, and the system restarts, but I'm then presented with the Clockwork Mod recovery screen. I select "restart phone" and everything boots up fine, but...no update was made. :confused:

Go to Android Development and download any ROM based on LG8. By example Blazer or FreeGS3.

As a summary OTAs only work with Stock recovery.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dragon_rckr:
:facepalm: why do ppl flame noobs instead of educating!?

Anyhow on topic... dude you don't accept the OTA from sprint when you are rooted, that is asking for trouble.

The thread w8setter posted has the rooted updates of the stock ROMs. Download and flash the odexed LG8 and the wifi fix in CWM and IGNORE the notification for the updates.

Also, have you considered a custom ROM? I'd suggest FreeGS3, it is very stable and give good battery life and the pesky update notification is blown away :) Before installing it though, you need to flash TWRP recovery which superior to CWM. The easiest way is to download GooManger once installed open it and grant SU access and tap menu then "Install OpenRecoveryScritp".

Additionally, google is your friend and the search function in the forum helps in some way ;) Read a bit more on how Root works in Android, pros/cons and what or what not to do while in Root, like for example never update from carrier OTA.

Plus there are apps on the market too, like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=at.markushi.phasebeam <-- that one that can probably get pretty close. As well as theming PhaseBeam.apk to accomplish what you want.

Because its not really easy to add RTL support as easily as other languages .Half of the times it gets messed up.Half of the roms are at Beta stage, we don't really like to add languages in them because its really really time consuming.We have to edit each and every apk and the full framework to add Multi-Lang support.
