Was about to click the link.. Then saw the post above you.. Saved from embarrassment :D

By the way I am typing from my phone.. So expect typos!!
[Galaxy S III General] Lennyuk:
That UI 'lag' or 'black screen' is because when you hit contacts your actually launching a new app (although it doesn't look like you have).

Samsung have just created the dialer app with a direct link to the contact app and vice versa but it is still in two separate apk's
[Galaxy S III General] ashmont:
I hate the implementation of the smart dial functionality. HTC Sense has vastly superior implementation. The Samsung version looks like they threw something together in a hurry and didn't finish it off. For a start the dialler only shows one result and there's a considerable delay to pop up the full list. Next there's the fact that there's no space key so I can't type say JspaceS to show John Smith and James Sullivan. Lastly there's the bug whereby if you have a title in the person's name, smart dial only finds the contact if you type the first letters of the title and not the name. If I have a Fr Joe Burns I have to type Fr for the name to show, J and B won't work. I wish Samsung could fix this.

I just installed CM10 Nightly on my wife's SII and it's faster to do both than my SIII. I can see the OP's point, really. Just sayin' that there is some room for optimisation there. No question about it.
[Galaxy S III General] irzero:
Samsung really needs to work on its integration. They have good ideas dont get me wrong.. such as swipe to call on the names. But the way to make it all fit together really sucks

Hi I was wondering if there is a jelly bean rom kicking around yet?

And would it be compatible with N7000 Galaxy note?

[Asus Transformer TF700] Deusdies:
I got it a few days ago. Love the screen and device overall, but Asus really needs to improve its QC (the Nexus 7 has similar issues, and my Asus laptop has some issues as well).

Anyway, I have some light bleeding in the lower left corner, but also on the left side where the screen is detached. Detached in a way that I can push it, it makes a sort of "click" sound, and the light bleeding is worse when I press it.

Do you think I should return it and get another one? I would, but the nearest bestbuy is an hour away AND I keep seeing people in the threads saying that their second one was even worse, etc. I guess it's just luck.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thats OK:
Yes

Yes, yes you should return if possible.

I would travel 2 hours if I were not completely satisfied.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
My suggestion would be to check out the replacement device *before* you leave the store - with the number of defective TF700's being sold, you don't want to have to drive all of that way only to find another issue when you get home with your replacement! :) Don't leave the store until you get a good one.

It's a shame, but Asus' QC is just horrible... When you get a good one, you'll be happy though!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Deusdies:
Yes, that's what I was thinking too. I'm going to open the box in store and check to see what it's like.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mohsin125:
Hi,

One of my friends has asked me to root and install a custom rom on his phone. I havent been following the RAZR's community. Can someone please answer these few questions:

1. Is there any STABLE JB rom for RAZR maxx? I do not care much about fancy features or anything

2. Do all the roms etc work on droid razr maxx too which are for RAZR only

Thanks
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bbeaulieu:
The ROMs that are available now are not ready for daily use IMO. Data is pretty wonky and the camera doesn't work. There's also more lag interface-wise based on my own experiences with different builds. They do have ICS builds of AOKP and CM9 that have working camera and data seems more reliable if you want to check those out.

Also, as long as it's a CDMA ROM you should be fine.
[Android] vijai2011:
Hey fellas!!!

This is my first real contribution to my xda friends :).I happy to share with you guys the script to make ODIN flashable rom for ext4 devices.

First of all I would like to say that this script currently supports only International variants of sgs2,sgs3 and SG Note.This is because I own only Note (similar to s2) and my friend has s3 which I used to make s3 compatible.I can support any devices if you guys can give me the required data ;)

So now into the topic ;)

In order to work with the script,you need the following:

A PC/Laptop with linux installed either as dualboot or in vm

A rooted Phone which supported by the script.

A usb cable

And of course you need your brain :P

Apart from the hardware,you will also need:

A stock rom from which you need to take the following:

cache.img

modem.bin

hidden.img

and a custom kernel(zImage) of you choice.(recovery.img and boot.img in case of s3)

Now download the script and do the following:

Extract ODIN-script.tar anywhere.

Run first_time.sh (Needed Only for the first time)

Put the above collected .img's,.bin and/or zImage inside ODIN-script directory

Connect your phone to PC/Laptop with usb debugging enabled.

Run the script and follow the instructions ;)

Your Rom will be in the same directory in few mins ;)

Note1:The Rom obtained by the above is not a full wipe rom.If you need to make it full wipe(factory reset),you need aditional empty data.img(for note/s2) or userdata.img(s3).I will upload data.img for Note.It "may" work on s2 too.But I havent tested.so its on your own risk ;)

S3 users,I'm sorry I can help you :).Because I dont know the size of /data partition to make an empty image.

Note2:You can always flash the rom with .pit and repartition.I have always used .pit to flash my rom.But still you are at your own risk.

Disclaimer:Do this at your own risk!!!I'm not responsible if you brick your phone.(Though you cannot if you do everything correctly ;))

Download link and changelog on next post.

And finally if you like my project and if you think you need to support me for future updates on this,Please do donate :P.And do not copy/edit/alter this work without my permission!!!

[Android] grgsiocl:
really awesome...going to try now and let you know the feedback...
[Android] vijai2011:
Ok...Thats good...:)Just an update...Dont add cache.img for now...It takes forever in recovery to flash...;).Found the issue and working on a fix :)
[Android] grgsiocl:
thank you and i was about to test and i will refrain from doing that till you release the fix!
[Android] vijai2011:
Hey...You can try it without cache.img as long as you have csc within you /system ;)

But still if you have added cache.img,it will boot but only with couple of reboots and a looooong time in recovery ;)
[Android] A.S._id:
If you needed FULL WIPE DATA - FACTORY RESET, you need to put the image cache file with the command wipe data...
[Android] vijai2011:
Nope...instead I have added a empty data.img ;)It will wipe off data...;)But didn't make it for s3 because I have heard s3 has /data and /sdcard combined.So if I make one for s3,it will wipe sdcard too.But need a confirmation on this ;)

And I have fixed recovery issue too in v2 and it should be fine now.

Finally had a look on your script too.It also looks good.good job.nice work ;).May be we two can work together to make a kitchen???:p
[Android] 1bymany:
I used your script as guiding for customizing my own odin rom.

- I untarred my firmware.tar.md5

- $ simg2img system.img.ext4 system.raw

- $ sudo mount -t ext4 -o loop system.raw /tmp

I didn't change a thing and then repacked it

- make_ext4fs -s -l 512M -a system newsystem.img.ext4 /tmp

- chown 1000:1000 newsystem.img.ext4

- packed everything with $tar -H ustar -cvf out.tar *.img.* fat.bin

- signed the package md5sum -t out.tar >> out.tar

- mv out.tar out.tar.md5

I flashed it, had no problems, but after the flashing i see "failed to mount /system (invalid argument)

And as my system partition doesn't get mounted, i cant startup my phone.

Does anyone have a clue on what i could be doing wrong?
[Android] vijai2011:
If you did exactly what you posted,then,

1. You should not have got system.img.ext4 but system.img and so simg2img is simg2img system.img system.img.ext

2./temp in mount command would be your temp filesystem where system files are stored.Use a relative path like TempDir in your PWD

3. Are you sure the make_ext4fs line is correct?You said you used my script as reference and I have never used that command at all.Its like:

sudo ./mkuserimg.sh -s TempDir factoryfs.img ext4 ./temp 893386752B

(in mb is also fine)

where the numbers indicate the size of system partition in Bytes.Be sure to cd to ext4_utils before executing this command and should always be run as sudo as the mount is done as sudo.And donot include .ext4 at the end.Use just img.Works better.

4.again...chown should be sudo.As the img is owned by root and so you cannot chown it with basic user permissions.Simple user hierarchy

5.You did a blunder here in tar command if you put the original system.img and the newly packed img in the same directory.As the command will include all .img's which we donot want.
[Android] 1bymany:
First of all, thanks for the reply.

second:

1. My phone is not rooted yet, it's a GT-S6500D aka Samsung galaxy tab. So I used a firmware.tar.md5 (that i have flashed to test and works)

and in this firmware.tar.md5 i have following files: boot.img, cache.img.ext4, fat.bin, hidden.img.ext4, recovery.img and system.img.ext4

So the system.img.ext4 wasn't a typo ;) and the system.raw is just an arbitrary name i have chosen.

2. I don't get the mountpoint. Is this the mountpoint on the phone? of on my computer?

3. I have analysed the mkuserimg.sh script, and it is just a wrapper that flips the argument order. I have no clue why they made it..

So i doubt my problem would be in this line, but I will try, as i don't know what else can go wrong

4. chown should indeed be sudo, no doubt about that :) I just didn't type it here :)

5. I skipped this step a bit in the explanation, but i made the sure the directory only concluded the necessary files, naming the original files from step 1 or modified files.

6. I don't know if this could help, but if i unpack for example system.img.ext4 and repack it again, the new file will be bigger then the original one.. I was thinking maybe Samsung adjusted some things, but maybe i need some more arguments in my make_ext4fs command..

grtz
[Android] 1bymany:
Fixed it!

The problem was that i was using a size of 512M without knowing where it came from.

I flashed the original firmware back to the phone, did a

adb shell "df /system "

to know what size my img needed to be. In my case it was a total size of 492M. So i used following command to make my system.img.ext4

make_ext4fs -s -l 492M -a system system.img.ext4 /system

Now trying to pack my own kernel in the boot.img :)

thanks for the support!
[Android] vijai2011:
Sorry for the late response :).got a little busy.Happy that you solved it :).Just an hint,you can use -h to see the size better readable by humans(In M and G) in df command incase you find its in kb or B :)

My co worked who used to have an ET4G and now has a Galaxy Nexus stumbled upon this MOD. Knowing how must of us running any jb ROM have low headphones/aux issues I thought I could post this to try and help.

There is a tiny problem though.... I flashed this last night. I successfully booted my phone but once everything loaded my phone froze up and just powered cycled. I tryied flashing it with different gapps combinations and different jb ROMs. So with that said... do any of you devs or anyone that want to try to modify this MOD for our phones?? Maybe it will bring a solution this this bug?

Thanks in advance to anyone willing to try this and provide some input

Finally! A response lol no luck bro. It made my phone powercycle after 4 attempts to flash. I'm sure it can be made to work with our device. We just need the brains of a dev. Give it a try but make a nandroid first.

Spread the word to get some input from the devs. Maybe I'm onto something here lol

Google awesome beats. I use it on my phone and volume is back to normal.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] felibon:
Nope. I've been running beats both zip and app since cm9 was realised. Does help with the quality of audio but does not increase volume.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TheAtheistOtaku:
im really hoping this gets ported or something is done about the issue soon, because the jb roms are so awesome its impossible for me to go back to ics just for audio. though i do miss the days where i could use my headphones to their full potential. didnt spend 100 on them for nothing
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] felibon:
Yeah it it works it would be awesome to get it baked in. I just miss listening to music loud in my car lol I PMed phantom and hopefully he let's other devs know about it....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick4mitch:
Might be a kernel thing? Who knows.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hayabusa03rx:
Glad to know I wasn't the only one with the audio problem but from my short testing in my car it seemed to only be music related, I'm using double twist. When I got a text message the ringtone was alot louder than the music itself and the volume setting on that was only around half as loud. Things use to be the other way around on ICS. Like someone else posted hopefully there can be a fix soon because I'm loving JB.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick_rick:
I tried this mod on my Nexus 7 and I didnt notice a difference :confused:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brennam7:
Not sure why it didnt increase volume for you. Worked just fine for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] felibon:
Thats weird... I noticed a difference on my co workers nexus as well. Any chance this could get ported to our phones? :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] felibon:
I'm having this issue with both music stored in my phone and apps like Pandora and iheart radio. my call volume is very loud, no issue there as well as notification. I just flashed AOSP jb 09/19 to see if it made any progress on volume but no luck. Low volume is still there
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] abadasstanker69:

The latest cm10 Nightlies fixed all of the sound problems

Sent from my E4GT by using THE FORCE
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] esodak:
From what I can tell from my testing on the E4GT, your headphone and bluetooth volumes are tied to the speaker media volume originally. I haven't seen it in any other builds of CM10, but it seems fairly common in the E4gT's roms.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Tibedabeeto:
Where are the nightly builds posted? I don't see it on thier official site
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick4mitch:
This is not true ... Pandora and/or any other music related app still has the problem, even Youtube, however, everything else is topnoth in CM10. We all hope it gets fixed quickly. Im running CM10 9/24 nightly.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] felibon:
If its fixed in CM10 it will be fixed in all jb ROMs since they run basically the same base. Jb has made some great progress thanks to all the devs. Hopefully they work out this bug. I wanna jam! Lol
[General Questions and Answers] CiociaKrysia:
Hi guys. Firstly I would like to say Hello, cause it is my first post at this forum.

I have an opportunity to buy Galaxy S3 at about 3/4 of its market price. But there is a problem. This is exactly PROTOTYPE of Samsung Galaxy S3. It has all the functionality of the mentioned smartphone, but it doesn't have GSM module.

I did a little research and i found different opinions about it, for example lack of GSM module, lack of the antenna, lack of the connector to the antenna.

I also called to few Samsung offical services and everyone of them told me, that they don't know what does it mean prototype version, and they have to see it, before they can tell if it is repairable.

I also called Samsung Technical Support, and they told me, that this is 'bricked' version of the phone, that was produced just for marketing purposes. And there is no way to install GSM module, cause motherboard of the phone doesn't have module installed and repair is not possible.

Did any of You have heard anything about such prototypes ? As far as I know, it has IMEI : 044. Do You have any idea if it is possible to implement somehow GSM module, maybe buy antenna, and just connect connector to the motherboard ? But i don't have it yet, so I cannot open oi up and post some photos, or tell You anything more about its motherboard.

Best wishes,

Ciocia Krysia

I don't know much about this stuff but it seems like too much of a trouble to justify the price, what you would save on money you would pay for in the form of headaches lol IMO it's not worth it save up and get it full price

Try to visit official samsung service. Maybe for fee they will be able to attach GSM module to your...erhm...chinese fake device? :D

Anyway there is proverb "avaricious pays twice".

Good luck.
[General Questions and Answers] CiociaKrysia:
That is true, i agree on that but i can buy the device for about 300$ (150£?) Which is i would say very tempting. What is more. I can buy 5 of them co maybe the price could be even lower if i will buy all of them.

A found a part ( antenna + buzzer) dedicated for s3:

hurtowniagsm.pl/galerie/a/antena-z-buzzerem-samsun_3027.jpg

Maybe it would do the trick? And it cost about 10$ which to be serious is ridiculus amout of money for almost brand new galaxy s3. But will it do the trick? What it there is no port on the motherboard that i could plug the connector in? Maybe it isnt worth to invest money to buy s3 as tablet device?

But still i need someones opinion. Maybe one had sth like this or heared about such prototype of the device and could share his knowleadge with me or should i say with all of us.

Best wishes

For what it's worth, as some extra peace of mind I may be considering a SquareTrade warranty since I'm within the 90 days. I hear their customer service is astounding, and I really don't want to have any headaches again despite ASUS pulling through with this one. Next time, the damage just may be my fault, which makes the extra warranty seem more appealing.

Glade to hear they fixed it under warranty.

Not sure if you're willing to pull the back cover off or not, but I would be interested to know if they shipped it back with two less screws. Like they're now doing with the C8O and C9O models.

My screen isn't cracked and I'd like to keep it that way. Mine has just a bit of screen lift.
[Nexus 7 General] JaSauders:
I just pulled my back cover off and it does not appear to have any missing screws. In regard to the newer Nexus 7 tablets are they doing that with all of them? Or just a select few so far? I thought I heard *some* people say with brand new generation Nexus 7 tablets that they were not missing any screws.

I bought a new N7 3 weeks ago. It's a C80 unit and it's missing the 2 screws on the left side that have been mentioned previously.

I did notice that there is a minute lift on the left side but when I looked more closely, it was the silver frame that is actually bowed back slightly and the glass is actually straight.

Not to jack this thread but when I bought the original galaxy tab10.1 the screen was straight but the whole rest of the tab was curved really bad
[Nexus 7 General] jt.one:
oddly enough, i been shooting emails to ASUS with pictures and explanations of my "internally cracked" n7 and as well as a call or two and they assured me multiple times that my item is still under warranty and that i should start up a RMA.
[Nexus 7 General] thunder9111:
i also have a cracked screen, what are the chances that it will be under warranty? does ASUS adopt the same approach worldwide that it is their fault (with the screen lift), or do I have to constantly remind them that it is because of the screen lift that the screen cracked?
[Nexus 7 General] erica_renee:
I would call them be nice but firm. If you did drop it they will know when taking it apart.

I'm waiting for a refund from Google on a cracked doa unit. called them today with a threat to file complaints with help of my bank its been over a month.

good luck.

Same Issue

I had the exact same issue happen to me. My N7 was kept inside a case for its entire life. I bought one from Staples, took it out of the box, the screen lifted and I popped it back in (at the time, I did not realize this was a big deal). About 3 weeks later, went to open my case and the screen was cracked. It looks almost as thought the screen bezel bucked in the middle slightly.

Unfortunately, I have not been so lucky with Asus. We have gone back and forth through at least a dozen calls and a dozen emails. Just got the 'Not Covered' email. Its driving me crazy that I didn't cause this and now I'm stuck. Boooo
