[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kickassdave:
Completely disagree with most of the comments about laginess. I have also tried just about every JB leak and numerous iterations of CM10 included the latest version.

This new leak is by FAR the smoothest of all. Just check out the horrible lag you get on cm10 in the XDA app itself.

I get no lags in the settings screen or switching apps or indeed most of the places others have mentioned. Only place I'm seeing a stutter is in the widgets page initially. But I'm not in there often enough to care.

I installed JB messenger, JB keyboard and quick ICS Browser and couldn't be happier with this.

Using Checkrom HD 5.5... FYI.

Personally I do agree that JB doesn't feel like it is offering me much else other than the smoothness but once I tried JB I just couldn't go back to ICS, it's just so pleasing to scroll in 60fps :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raied115:
Notice that you are on a MODIFIED ROM. Unless you upgraded it to the OFFICIAL JB, you would've noticed it. But, do you have a solution for the problem? Something that might solve the problem?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] w1nter456:
It was really smooth. But when you listen music while multitasking. You will notice that when opening or closing application such as setting, you will notice that the animation cannot keep up 60fps. Then result laggy or choppy.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
Closed, use the sticky for general JB discussion.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] samson_420:
The rest of the phone seems great. But, it still feels like low class garbage. I love the screen and how it looks along with the complete design of the phone.

But, this phone is made from the same low quality soft plastic the first galaxy was made out of. What gives?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] psykhotic:
It's the same plastic everything else is made out of.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] brfield:
It was in your title, "cheap plastic".

Lower cost means higher profit.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Jbluna:
If you've got any sense, you're just gonna end up feeling glass and whatever your case is made of anyways

: p
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] redthunda69:
It actually isn't cheap plastic. It's high quality, durable plastic. Aluminum dents and scratches, as does glass. Plastic actually shows less wear.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] samson_420:
Please. . . Sadly to say, an iPhone really can handle way more damage than this phone.

I really do love to hate the iPhone. But, there is no way you can compare the material quality.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] fatboy547:
Then buy the iPhone. I personally think the plastic is fine.I use mines with no case. Dropped it once and tend to throw my phone on its battery case into a table once I get home and have yet to c any scratches. But hey if u love the materials on the iPhone then get it. No one would fault you for it
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] psykhotic:
I do hate the back of the phone though lol. I wonder how many times you can swap the battery before something snaps off. Reminds me of pulling the interior from my car.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] stevessvt:

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ArkAngel06:
It's not bad. I agree iPhone feels more solid in your hand, but I don't think the S3 feels "cheap" by any stretch of the imagination.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] samson_420:
I don't want an iPhone. . . But, why does the quality of Sansui's **** have to suck? It looks so cool.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] aNYthing24:
The Galaxy S III has polycarbonate plastic -- same as the One X and Lumia series.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] platinumrims:
Everything I've seen shows the iphone as pretty much the least durable smart phone out there(and I can't tell you how many people break them, pretty much everyone I know that has one has broken it at least once) .. The GS3 is close too it though, but still a little better.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] redthunda69:
Exactly this. The iPhone is much less durable than the plastic. I understand that OP may like glass/aluminum more than plastic, but the plastic on the S3 can take a harsh beating.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] stevessvt:
If you scratch the **** out of the back of the S3 it's like $3 to replace the back cover. Lets see iphone do that.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aria807:
I just got rid of my iPhone5 and picked up a GS3. I'd much rather have this phone's plastic than the iPhone's aluminum shell. That thing is more delicate and prone to scratches. This phone feels like I can worry less when I use it. I don't even have a case yet and I don't feel too bothered.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] psykhotic:
When I shake my s3 it rattles..... iPhone doesn't.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] redhooka:
Modern plastics are as strong as steel.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jgalan14:
Actually it does by the camera, Google it I had one but I return it, is a solid device tho, I seriously didn't like the gs3 at first but now I like it a lot, it doesn't feel like cheap plastic to me, the s2 felt like that tho
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] htc fan89:
I actually like the plastic feeling makes it less heavy to hold and one hand use becomes so much easy. Its easy on the hands when holding it for an extended time
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] GPadraic:
So I'm stumped. I basically can't flash anything -- I got into recovery and try to flash something and I get status 7 errors with the message:

assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "epic4gtouch" || getprop ("ro.build.product") =="epic4gtouch" || and so on and so forth with "SPH-D710" in the next block and "d710" in the final one.

As I understand it this is a build.prop error, but I've flashed back to complete stock, and verfied the correct build and device number in the build.prop on the device and I still can't flash anything. Is there a "hidden" build.prop somewhere that I don't know about that survives flashing back to stock

----NOW SOLVED----

For anyone else having this same issue, here's what I did to solve it:

* Install CWM from here. Then install a kernel that you know works, flashing via CWM. That's it! Now you should be able to go back to flashing roms again. No idea why it works, but it does -- I guess some imprint got left on my recovery.img or something.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TheSilverStig:
If you are bone stock, that would mean you don't have a custom recovery which would allow you to flash unsigned files? I'm just trying to understand where you are at in order to help. Are you stock and if so gb or ics?

It sounds like a recovery issue or maybe a problem with the zip you are trying to flash.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] GPadraic:
I flash to stock and the AGAT's kernel. I'm trying to flash zips that I have successfully flashed before, and using this kernel, so I know there's nothing wrong with the zip or the kernel. I'm just really not sure where the issue is though if I've flashed back to complete stock.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] GPadraic:
Also to add, i can't run mobile Odin any more despite being able to run it a few days ago. Now it says my device is unsupported even though I'm using stock build.prop and i do have root
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Harvick_29:
I had this issue the other day when I tried to flash back to JB alpha 6 from a GB rom (forgot to get a GPS lock first). What fixed it for me was using caulkins format all and then flashing super galaxy 1.7. After that was done I was able to flash el26 kernel, go back to recovery and flash my JB rom.

Edit: ha ha ha I'm the idiot, didn't see you had already posted that you solved it. :)
[Windows Phone 8 General] daddioj:
So i had everyphone known to man. and i recently played with the lumia 900 which i found very different and so fast! and its just a single core phone. now i always loved nokia phones. but i am so spoiled with androids market place and every app at my finger tips. if windows market place has the apps i want there very slimmed down versions and pretty useless. i have my sights set on a lumia 920 or a note 2. i also have a S3i9300 do you think windows phone 8 with bring good working apps to the phone???? what is the use of having a smartphone without apps.?
[Windows Phone 8 General] vetvito:
Native coding, there will be a ton of apps. Ports should be faster and easier, especially for games.
[Windows Phone 8 General] daddioj:
i hope so because i am in love with the 920 lol. but i am also torn by the note 2. but i already had the i9300 which is basically the same thing less ram smaller screen. so i have not decided yet

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] votum:
Use a different launcher, like this:

From there go into the settings and make the app drawer transparent.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] elifry2727:
I have had the HTC Vivid for around 3 months now and when i received it at my ATT store it was custom loaded with ICS. Right out of the bat the battery life was completely lacking. Coming from an Iphone4 that would last from when i woke up at 7 to around 8pm with heavy use, its been a wake up call with a battery that will last at most 6 hours with intermediate use. I have been researching this issue for awhile and everyone elses phone seems to be fine. Could it be that i have a Jank battery? or am i just using the phone wrong. To be more specific I always have WIFI off and bluetooth off. I only turn Mobile Network on when im checking twitter or instagram. My brightness is also about at 1/6 of the bar on the left side. I dont play any games or stay on any data retreiving applications very long at all. Just wondering if you guys could give me some pointers on how to save battery.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] bswann:
That's pretty much all you can ask for from a stock Vivid. You can flash a custom Rom and get better battery life. I would recommend WCX Illuminati Rom as I'm getting 12-16 hours per charge with my use. I would say try something like juice defender but I don't believe in using an app that runs all the time to try and save battery.

Sent from Illuminati Land.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] gfinockio:
I find DarkRaider's ROM with one of the custom kernels might get you 18-20 hours with decent amount of use. WCX Illuminati was closer to 12-14.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] elifry2727:
Would I have to root to flash a rom?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] bswann:
Yes, you will have to unlock the bootloader then root it then Rom it. Read the " SuperGuide " its stickied.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] brucegil:
Try 2X Battery

If you don't want to root, try the 2X Battery app first. It does a good job for me keeping battery consumption down. It turns off the data connection (and other radios if you have them enabled) when the Vivid is in sleep mode. It has a lot of options for tweaking. I have it set to automatically go into Airplane mode from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. while I am asleep. The only time I use a lot of power is if I am using the music player or the GPS while driving. I am not a heavy user compared with others (no Facebook checking, very little music streaming, etc.), so I can get 12-24 hours on a charge.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] linds0r:
The issue: I made the mistake of upgrading Apex today. I wanted to go back to 1.2.5, so I deleted the new Apex thinking I could just reinstall the old version from an apk. However, I think I may have frozen a necessary component for touchwiz (with chef's freezer), because when I deleted Apex and rebooted, I found my screen won't get passed the glowing Samsung logo.

So I want to restore a backup, but I don't seem to have the option. I created a nandroid a week or so ago. I'm trying to boot to it, but my recovery screen gives me only these options: 1) reboot system now; 2) apply update from external storage; 3) wipe data/factory reset; 4) wipe cache partition; 5) apply update from cache. Where is restore backup??!

I just connected with Odin and flashed clockwork on there again just to be sure, but I still don't have backup or restore as options. Please help!!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] yearziro:
Long story short bought a galaxy note off craigslist met up at best buy to swap phones check numbers and so on and reset phones

Went home wiped again rooted and flashed cm10 just noticed all his pics are still on here (some with sensitive info drivers license checks vin numbers).

Rather then call the guy and get him paranoid what would be the best way to wipe this completely clear
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
format of the SD card, and the internal EMMC partition...

Format the External card to FAT32 on your PC with the adapter....unless it's yours and you know it's clean....otherwise...scrub it..

Once the external is clean or replaced...(your call) then move any files you wish to keep from the internal card to the fresh external..

Then boot into your recovery, under advanced options, and format the EMMC partition..(note, not all recoveries will do this, but the latest CWM or TWRP will work)

Once the EMMC is clean, reboot the device, and the rom will populate only the files it needs to run, and all of his internal garbage will be gone..

(note: this will not remove app data stored within any apps, but the standard data wipe should handle that)

DISCLAIMER: this method "WILL" wipe all data from the internal space of the device.....proceed at your own risk....(low)

the rom will remain the same....So "SAVE" anything you want to keep before doing this..

After the EMMC format, you can move back anything you saved prior to wiping/formatting of the EMMC space....g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] yearziro:
Everything is on the internal memory
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:

Currently the older version of clockwork mod doesnt support this feature 5.8.4.8 and TWRP doesnt work for the note any other suggestion??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
Can you not format the sd card and internal memory using a menu in the settings for CM10? I am not familiar with CM10 but there should be no need to use recovery to do this. The stock ToucWiz ROM can.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] yearziro:
Actually CM10 was all buggy just went back to ICS not fimiliar with Touchwiz will try to look through the menus of touchwiz and see what i find
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
Go menu button/settings/storage. There you can format both. Simple as that.

Here is a little Trick that bring u 3-5gb free extra Storage for Dropbox,have today testet and it has worked perfectly and for 3 friends of mine too.

How to:

Dropbox have a new feature,its the automatic uploading for pictures and films(2 month ago).What u need is an Dropbox account,an usb stick with min.6gb formatted in NTFS(thats very important).And the file from attachment.

1.Format the stick in NTFS and when on Mac in ExFat using Minitool etc.

2.Than create an Folder with the name:DCIM on the stick.

3.Download the attached file,after this unzip the file to DCIM folder on the stick.

Maybe it take some time,its an highly compressed fakeimage.

4.Be sure u have autoplay for usb+cd rom etc enabled.

5.Unplugg the stick,the best is too restart pc(but not recommend).

6.Simply plug the stick in,the dropbox starts automaticily,maybe it need long time,dropbox checked the file,load it up,there comes an issue,dropbox is full,no panic,after view min.thats gone.thats all,when all is succesfully and you have your extra storage u can delete the upload.

For me have this method worked 3 times on 3 different pc on one Day.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

AutoPlay doesnt work.Wat do?

If AutoPlay is not working maybe the regestry was changed by system.In regedit open the following Key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Policies \ Explorer

Here would have the attribute "NoDriveTypeAutoRun" the hexadecimal value 91 (decimal 145),when not and it shows like 0xFF (255), then set it to 91 (hexadecimal).Restart PC and it must work.

Good Luck:cool:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] waxworkz:
Ok so i have an AT&T Skyrocket, rooted but other wise stock on t-mobile. The edge speeds are killing after a few days, I can't get another phone at this time and my skyrocket is in perfect shape. The phone is rooted but otherwise stock on GB, of all the threads I searched, none speak about using a stock ROM and kernal with a different radio? I am wary of bricking my phone and had asked for help from some one local but that was a no go. So I am going to try and flash the radio myself, if I can find one that works nicely with stock ROM and kernal?? I have read of people using the Blaze radio and the UVLG3 from a Tmo note, I can't for the life of me find the thread though. But none talk about stock ROM and or kernal, any help would be great

Edit 1: will this radio work on GB? Blaze_4G_LB7_ICS_Radio_MOD ...... Direct DL, CAN BE USED FOR T-MOBILE/WIND ON ICS
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Illnevertell:
Radios are a different piece of firmware and are not affected by ROM or kernel so as long as the radio is compatible and your APN is correct it will work no matter the ROM
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] waxworkz:
thank you sir.

so based on what I can try the Blaze radio and just see if it works good for me? Would I be able to do a Direct Download of the radio and just flash from CWM?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Illnevertell:
Yes any 989 radio should work on our rockets just like our radios just grab a flashable radio and do your thing but again remember APN
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] waxworkz:
well the apn is set now, will that change once i flash the radio?

also do you have a link for said radio?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Illnevertell:
Coasts have nothing to do with it bro hate to tell ya so just test as many radios as you can
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] waxworkz:
just asking because I just saw a thread asking about best radio for east coast LOL. I didnt figure the coast would have much impact but had to ask

Do you think the Blaze radio will play nice with GB INT??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mahanddeem:
Like said above , radio is working independantly ... Just flash the radio and setup the apn and test ... report back for results ... And no matter what you do , t mobile data sucks on SR ...

Freezing phone requiring reboot and/or battery pulls is NOT bricking.

Soft brick: is where you can not boot into rom or recovery state, and requires a jig or other form to boot into recovery or odin.

Hard brick, usually means something is fried and/or damaged tobthe point of needing special equipment to fix, if it is repairable at all.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dave2metz:
There is a big difference between your phone freezing and a brick. Lol
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Sounds like you are experiencing a bug in the jb builds. Im guessing you just flashed one of the roms in development? Or if you restored the apps from a backup try doing fresh installs instead.

This was a big issue with UVDLH3. You have to wipe data/factory reset at the least. Otherwise you're very likely going to have some bugs. Dont restore apps or data from backups. Redownload the rom too as a bad dl can cause problems.

If this doesn't help then do this.

Odin UVALH2 (use root66 version to keep root)

Then flash UVDLI8 or other jb leak from sammobile or samsung-updates.com (use mobole odin pro or voodoo ota rootkeeper to keep root)

Then flash a jb rom based on the same leak you used above.
