[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naumanrahim:
Friends, I am planning to buy either S3 or HTC one .

I am well aware of the specs of both smart phones. My concern is regarding the hardware. Which one is the best in terms of reliability, durability and better hardware. Because I have read few issues for both phones like S3 has voice, charging and battery issues where as HTC one X has signal, Wifi issues.

Please suggest.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Myque:
Wrong forum XD, well I was happy with my S3, UNTIL, find out the screen is so fragile, mine already cracked being on my pocked with my keys, had to pay $250.00 to fix it. now it gets more attention than my GF XD

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erto90:
Ok,first, you are in S3 thread..

All ( or,at least,most) of us will suggest s3, and is the correct choice

I haven't any of the problem you described ( voice, charging and battery ARE ALL working fine)

Battery life is great for me, 2 days in medium usage

The pros for S3 : removable battery, stronger processor and gpu, microsd,louder speaker volume, free galaxy tab 2 7"

THe pros for One X ( the competitor): looks more solid,because unibody,lighter,different/better screen technology ( no deep blacks btw)

Camera is almost the same quality, but honestly i prefer the s3 one

The One X got Sense, for me is crappy ( i had a lot of htc and in my opinion sense is good but boring and too heavy after some times..)

These are my considerations, hope to help you a bit in the choice :cyclops:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fallenwout:
I got 3 HTC one X's and they all got faulty hardware. I asked a refund in the end and bought a S3.

Screen of the One X is much better than the S3 and sense looks beautifull.

If I could afford it and had the courage to swap it 10x before having a faulty free HTC One X, I would go for HTC. But reading about the faulty wifi antenna on the HOX that can fail on you at any time (connectors get loose and HTC's solutions is to press it with foam tape between the unibody....). I'm glad I bought S3.

HOX had more potential than S3, but HTC blew it on that one.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IamIrene:
you ask here off course everybody will recommend ask you go for s3
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delsus:
S3 is a toned down version of God, go for it, you will never regret it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disclaimernotice:
Come on, let's be serious. Everyone knows that God is a toned down version of the S3.

Anyway, S3 is better because of the screen and processor. Though HOX would get tegra exclusive games.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aseanity:
S3 had launched for few months.

New phone coming out soon, note 2, LG optimus g, mi 2.

They are great phone compare to s3, it is better you get the latest phone.

New chipset, 2gb ram (this is important).

Anyway, it is up to you.

S3 will get the most xda developer support, choose it if you are keen on many variety custom Rom

Enough of these comparisons, @OP go do some research or better yet, go with HTC and leave this forum alone.

Ignore this post unless you want screens you can push in, camera lens covers that begin to pop away for the unibody over a short time, marks or dents on your finish, stuttering etc.

Yup, they really dropped the ball on the hardware and obviously didn't put it through the proper tests.

I've heard of them, but nothing good. They wanted to create a wireless broadband network using a system that would have rendered GPS useless due to interference. The FCC smacked them down, and the company filed for bankruptcy. A Google search will tell you everything. You can go to lightsquared.com to read the press releases with their side of the story.

Im searching for a Android 2.2 Froyo Custom Rom for my Arc S.

Is there someone who knows a Rom that looks like that?

Thanks!

Sent from Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vu2ikl:
Short answer: No. Sony did not make froyo firmware for "any" of it's mobile.

Long answer:

I had Xperia 10 and I remember Sony saying eclair is better than froyo. (I agree). and they will skip froyo and give gingerbread firmware update directly.

And after using froyo on my friends (Samsung) mobile I was so happy that I did not use that horrible froyo firmware.

If you must you can find decent froyo Rom in cyanogenmod archives.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KaliBanda:
As everybody has stated, there is no stock or custom version of Froyo for the Arc or Arc S - it was never released by Sony.

There are, however, stock and custom versions of Gingerbread if you're after a ROM that's really light on system resources (CM7.2 or Arconium are good custom Gingerbread ROMs).

But with the Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean ROMs that developers are releasing, there really isn't any reason to stick with an 'ancient' OS.

I've personally been using the AOKP Ice Cream Sandwich ROM and it's perfect! I can't fault it at all. I'm just waiting until the AOKP Jelly Bean ROM get's branded as stable and then I'll begin using that full time.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssqw1:
Device: Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0(GT-P3100)

Rom: CM10 nightly build

I was experimenting with changing the eagle purchases file of angry birds space. After that, i cleared the data of angry birds via settings but the tab froze. After restarting i found that the sound was not working but vibration and all apps were working. I even checked sound options many times from settings. I cannot factory reset the tab because i have a lot of apps and cannot backup them via titanium backup because the size of external sd card is 2 GB. Any solutions? Or can i backup the apps directly to pc? The amount of space used is 8.2 GB.

Edit: I tried to open google play. 30 seconds passed but it just kept loading.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lorenx:
hi all.

i read many guide about flashing a rom, rom manager, recovery, etc... but i'd like to ask something about it.

wipe cache

i noticed that the "wipe data/factory reset" option also wipes the /cache partition. can i skip "wipe cache" in this case?

if not, should i wipe cache before flash a rom? after? both? i don't know, maybe the cache is involved in the flash process...

kernel/boot animation

is it safe to flash a rom, gapps, a kernel and a boot animation at the same time or should i reboot between some of them?

dalvik cache (with rom manager)

using rom manager with "wipe dalvik cache" checked, i'm not able to see any "dalvik cache wiped" message during the process.

did i miss it? is anyone else wondering this?

thanks very much. :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lorenx:
ok guys...

too easy? too specific? :p
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lorenx:
ok, i've just tried myself.

i did not explicitly wipe cache. :angel:

yes, i flashed all together. :cool:

no, no trace of any dalvik message. :confused:

so? well, i'm experiencing a bug in my rom never seen before.

i'll try this all again soon to understand if there's really something wrong with my procedure or if it is just a coincidence.

in the meantime, feel free to post your opinions! :D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lorenx:
ok, i've just figured it out.

the dalvik cache wiping relies on /cache/dowipedalvikcache.sh.

anyway this script has no echo/print_ui lines so, questionable choise, the process is transparent to the user.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gambler_3:
Sony phones charge so fast it's quite frustrating how long the nexus S takes. Would you suppose it would be safe to try to charge nexus S with the charger of xperia arc S? After all the micro usb standard should be safe to work on all phones right?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
Although the plug is identical, it doesn't mean they're all the same in their specs. Samsung official charger for the Nexus S gives 750ma at 5V. Anything else and you're taking a chance.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Billchen0014:
just make sure the out put is roughly close, if not exactly the same, it shouldn't be a huge problem if you wanna quickly top up before you leave. i do, however, suggest you use the samsung one for over night charging.

If it's USB, you're safe. Phone will negotiate the required current with the charger, so you could buy a 30A one if you wish, just don't turn on fast charge with overrated ones, as it disables the regulator (*KABOOM*)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gambler_3:
Ah so AC charging with faster charger not recommended? So can we get faster charging on nexus S by getting a new battery or does it have to do with the circuitry in the phone?

TRUE it just affects the time needed to charge if it is not as powerful as the original one.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gambler_3:
Turns out sony charger makes no difference to the charging speed even though it charges the xperia arc S in under an hour. Oh well samsung charging really sucks I guess this is a matter that needs to be highlighted more in my opinion it's a huge disadvantage.

Hay,

I just cant figure out how / WHEN google Now calculates a Route to my workplace in the morning.

Whether I put my Work Adress into Google Latitude or via Google now settings or let it blank so google now can "auto detect" it - I just dont get any directions or notifications like "Is this your adress?". The distance between home and work is 1,3 kilometers approx. It also does not work when try to return home.

When I am at a mall 4 kilometers from my home it sometimes does work and sometimes doesnt. And soon I will have a appointment and it works there also (shows the Card and the correct route).

Anybody knows how to fix the workplace Issue?

Thanks

Hello everyone i have a i927r and downloaded Nardrom 0.4 and then it told me to give an unlock key i tried cellunlocker.net and after 24 hours they gave me a refund. They said they could not find the code. So i read another post which told me to do a factory reset. I did that and got stuck on the boot-logo. i can still boot into CwMR and download mode but it would just be stuck on the S sign

Any help is appreciated
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Shawn:
You shouldn't need an unlock code unless you're using it on a network other than Rogers. As for the brick, sounds like it could be a bad flash. Did you flash NardROM 0.4 by itself or did you do 0.2 also?

What OS was installed before you used NardROM? Did you start from the clean ICS ROM located here? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1831561 Don't know much about an unlock key but when installing the NardROM, I had to wait a while to do it's thing while the boot-logo appeared "stuck". Figured it was just get used to all the new updates or something. Best thing to do now I guess is to start from scratch & reflash from the link above using Odin.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] DragonFlame49:
Thanks i will do so. Also i did flash from 0.2 to 0.4 and apparently i am on at&t. Kies air could not find out what my device was so i could not update to ics. :)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Shawn:
Start with a fresh ICS flash, then try with NardROM again. Also, you'll need to get an unlock code from somewhere since apparently its the Rogers (Canadian) version of the Glide.

I purchased a warranty for my infinity tablet, after 2 weeks of the warranty i returned the infinity for a note. Called squaretrade and got refunded quickly and i was able to get another coupon for when i buy a warranty for my note. Its not bad for the price, 69.99 (30% coupon) for 2yrs with accidental. Plus if you ever sell the tablet before you warranty runs out, you can get some money back from squaretrade. I have some other items with their accidental warranty. I believe you have 90 days to purchase from squaretrade if you bought your device at a retail store.
