It's still a secret.

Hope it's before 12\21\2012 tho.

[Asus Transformer TF700] huy_lonewolf:
I don't think there is any news regarding the JB update for the tf700. To me, this is actually a good news, because ASUS can take time to ensure that the update works properly. After reading all the complaints after the JB update for the tf300 (it breaks so many things on the tf300), I can only thank God for not having this kind of early update on my tf700. For now, I am very happy with ICS and don't mind waiting, especially when my tf700 is already very good.

Then I turned it on with charging, it worked without yellow triangle. connected wifi and then i log in my Gmail account and start to download apps..but in a while it got hanged. non of the keys worked. so i have to take off the battery to turn it off.

Second attempt to start it, it get ON but stuck in first screen cannot unlock the screen.

so i kept it with taking the battery out for a whole night and started checking how to fix it.

Second day i restore it and checked then it worked normal but couldn't log in Gmail account says server problem even wifi is connected. worked with other apps. i can browse internet.

But now I want to use the "i9100 int" instead, but I don't find how to change the rom type.

PLEASE don't use ROM manager. Stay away from that application. It's not safe!

Like the previous poster said, do not use rom manager, it could brick your device.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ECEXCURSION:
That is more dependant on what radio you flash, not what ROM you use. And this varies from location to location.

Take a look at the radio thread in the development section.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Yup. Radio matters more than ROM. If you are having reception issues, try a different radio. And as the "best" radio is very location specific, trial and error is your best bet.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] CheeseDave:
Hi!

I've been trying to create photos and videos about objects that are close to the camera, but the phone always focuses on the background.

Are there any way to get manual focus? (Set lenses manually) - maybe from another device/rom?

I know, there is a touch to focus in photo mode, can be usefull sometimes but not perfect.

If no chance to manual focus, how can I use the Touch To Focus option while video recording? - That can't be hardware limitation, as we can use it in photo mode.

Thanks.

I use single auto focus while shooting video, works quite well for me...
[LG Optimus 2x] lopiop:
Hello all, I would like to ask, if the phone is stuck on bootloop on the lg logo, should i just flash another rom through cwm. I was using cm7 before and then i thought of using some modded stock rom. So when i flashed it bootlooped for several minutes. Now my phone is working after flashing the latest kang. Is that the correct thing to do? thx
[LG Optimus 2x] xExabyte:
If it works, why do you even ask? :what:
[LG Optimus 2x] lopiop:
I just wanted to know if that is the correct thing to do, thx anyways
[LG Optimus 2x] vcrp94:
If you flash a Stock ROM coming from a CM7 ROM it is recomended to do a wipe before flashing, and vice versa, or else it will get stuck on boot loop.
[LG Optimus 2x] xExabyte:
I have to add: that happens due to the different file system. Cm7 uses ext3 I believe and stock roms something else.

Ok, I really messed up. the phone was almost bricked, but I finely managed to

get back to Clockwork Recovery.

Now I want to restore my backup or update the rom again, but it says:

No files found. :(

it seems that the SD card is formatted or unreachable.

What can I do? Any ideas?
[HTC One X] arses:
It's easy to send your favorite Rom to SD

go to CWM --->Advanced ---> mount USB when screen changed connect your device to PC and then your SD card will appear on monitor now you can put Rom on SD and after flashing the boot.img install rom using CWM.
[HTC One X] Doorman404:
I've tried that just now,

it says: "unable to open ums file"

when I click it.

Edit: ok I updated the recovery

and now the mounting works! :)

Downloading the new ROM now, wish me luck!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] buggerritt:
For the last 12 years, I have been a Sprint customer. I haven't had any serious issues with them until they started rolling out the tower updates to LTE. Since then, I have not been about to get satellite locks or use their web network without becoming absolutely frustrated. After a bit of web searching, I decided it was time to make the move to Verizon, since I need the web, on the road, for work. I made the choice of the Galaxy S III. It's a great looking phone and the specs speak for themselves. But, I got terrible service in and around my home. Every phone call in my house was breaking up and dropping. I figured it must be Verizon because this phone was a step up from my Sprint Epic 4G touch and even from the same manufacturer. I made calls to customer service and they wrote up a ticket to check service in my area. My nextdoor neighbor came home with his new iPhone (I will never buy an iPhone or any mac product) and showed me that he had almost full bars. I asked him to come to my house and see if he still had great service. No change in or around my home. This caused me to think there was something faulty with my device. I immediately went to the Verizon store with my device for troubleshooting. I told the service rep what had happened and that I wanted to get my phone tested and possibly get a replacement. She told me that the problems I was experiencing were common with Samsung phones because they have weak antennas. She mentioned that the best phones for reception are going to be the iPhones and the Motorolas. I believe this to be true because in my pre-smartphone days, I had a sanyo flip phone and my work partner had the latest samsung doohicky that looked sweet but, where he would have little to no service, I would have full bars. Until I got my first smartphone, I stuck with sanyo phones from Sprint and never had any issues.

Now the lineup of Verizon phones is pretty much last year's model for the top of the liners. So, I've gone back to Sprint until the Razor Maxx HD arrives. It looks to be a beast of a phone that surpasses the galaxy S III and is sure to have a good antenna/radio to go along with it. I just hope it doesn't take very long.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hopesrequiem:
And you made this thread why? Are you asking something of the community? If not, this thread should be deleted
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] psychedelicNerd:
I don't think the thread should be deleted (but that's just me). I didn't know Samsung phones had this issue and its always good to know general info. Thanks to the OP for it. Next time an issue like this happens with me or any of my friends and if they have a Samsung phone, I would know at least one more variable to take into consideration.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zedocus16:
I agree 100%, my service is terrible. My og Droid always had great reception, this phone (although no calls dropped) Fluctuates a lot. I love this phone though, and have no intentions of changing. I just wish it was a bit better is all :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eman3316@optonline.net:
I don't see how the RARZ Maxx surpasses the S3. It is a nice phone but doesn't bring anything new to the table that the S3 doesn't already have except the large battery but, battery is not an issue with the S3 anyway.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] n8mack33:
I'm on Sprint and thinking about switching to Verizon so this is helpful to think about. I might not have considered a Motorola but now I think I'll at least give them a closer look.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ooofest:
Not sure of the issues or rumors about their radio or antenna, but at least my Galaxy S III has been connecting as well as my old feature phones - by which I mean, solidly.

4G is sometimes less available than I want - e.g., there's a space of 3 blocks nearby where it's dead (odd) - but that's the only issue.

- ooofest
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] micromania:
motorola phones are well known for getting exceptional reception.

if you live in an area where the signal strength is poor, i can understand when people end up hating certain phones.

in my case, i have never had any issues with the gs3 when it comes to reception.

BEFORE PEOPLE START BASHING TO OP, HE/SHE ISN'T SAYING THE GS3 IS A BAD PHONE FOR ITS HARDWARE (except the antenna). Yes, it is a beast of a phone.

But at the end of the day, it's still a phone and if you can't send/receive phone calls.. well, it should be replaced.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dan_joegibbsfan:
A relationship without trust is like a cell phone without service ... all you do is play games

I am a diehard Motorola guy but I went ahead and tried the SGS3. What the OP is stating is true, the Samsung radio sucks in comparison to Motorola. I am now fortunate enough to have strong enough Verizon signal at my house so I was able to keep my SGS3. Now I get 3 bars at home when with my Motorola DroidX was always full. I looked at the Droid RAZR MAXX hard and heavy, kept trying to talk myself into it, but ... it just didn't feel right in my hand. I am satisfied with my SGS3 but I still hope Motorola comes out with something good for my next upgrade.

I agree, I think this post is fine for the Verizon Galaxy S III General section of the forum!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hesh.monster:
Future modem updates will surely remedy the issue. It was the same way with the Fascinate, crappy until the radio got a couple updates.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hawkman610:
I get good reception at my house with the S3, but my territory at work is 920ish square miles of rural area. I've noticed areas where I had 3G before switching to Sprint 3 years ago when I had a Motorola phone I do not now that I'm back with Verizon. If anything, I would have thought in the 3 years it would have improved. Like the OP, I believe it to be the phone, not the service as other guys at work don't have that problem and don't have skips when streaming music like I do on the same roads.

I'm also waiting for the Razr HD Maxx to release. Our local retail agent has their demo already so they suspect it to be within a month or so. I'm eBaying this S3 as soon as it is released since I'm outside my window to return it.

In the meantime, hopefully the latest OTA helps reception.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] blestsol:
Hope you're right. Sometimes I wanna go back to my rezound.

Gs3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] strung:
I have the same problem. Switched from Sprint to Verizon. GSIII. Unless the signal is nearly full strength, calls are unusable and data is inconsistent, and texts won't send. It's definitely the phone's fault, not the network.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ooofest:
Might be good for some folks here to call Verizon and submit a complaint, etc. When I called about a networking issue a couple months back, they told me a wi-fi and other reception/signal related issues were planned for an October update (which they called the second update from Samsung, so that seems to mesh with our getting the current OTA in September), but maybe those plans or the update contents have changed.

And, since the OTA, they can more easily diagnose issues with your phone remotely ;) .

- ooofest
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Div033:
Am I the only one that's satisfied with the GS3's signal strength? I came from a droid incredible and now I seem to have better signal across the board.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bobloblaw1:
I've noticed that the phone manages signal poorly rather than the radios themselves being poor.

Example: If I use phone info and manually set my phone to 4g only or LTE w/ CDMA I will lock onto 4g and have a solid signal. If I rely on the default setting (LTE/EVDO/CDMA) to manage networks automatically I will end up with a weak 3g signal (with full data drops) despite medium/strong 4g being available.

Hopefully the future OTAs will take care of the network selection logic.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sasquatch080:
One more fully satisfied customer here.:D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ryno77:
When I compare this phone to a Razr Maxx or my old Droid X2, the difference in dbm is about -5. I live in an area with good coverage so I really haven't had any issues. What this phone SUCKS at is sticking with 4g and the hand off from 4g to 3g. It switches to 3g too quickly...should hold on to 4g. When it switches there's a pretty good lag during the switch so you lose data briefly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bbeelzebub:
The modem update gave me an additional 1-2 bars in my house at times (Still fluctuations, but it would anyhow here). I can't say it's any worse than my Droid Inc.

As for Verizon having a "poor phone choice"... Meh. It goes in cycles. Sometimes they have all the good phones, sometimes AT&T does. It's all variant as to when you are looking to buy.
