Gb is good but new updates means more fixes on pending issues... Nothing wrong with ICS in my opinion as long as you look on the threads for what your needs are and if they can be met. Theres still wifi calling without issues in a few of the new ROMs just not ready to call JB dd material yet dues to the small bugs. That's just my opinion. Some like them and others dont. To each its own. But make the jump and try stuff out, besides, thats what its all about
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] eisoh:
I just went to jellybean and really love it. GB works, but jb is just so much more aesthetically pleasin. If you don't mind the small bugs and no WiFi calling you should do it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] blackangst:
Well he said Wi-Fi calling had to be perfect...op I recommend the Beastmade Rom. It's stock 4.0.4 and its what I'm using now. I rely on Wi-Fi calling and it works flawlessly for me.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] blackangst:
Well, I did it yesterday. I went back to GB (Darkside Digital Warfare 2.7). This was my daily driver for I dont know how long, and I dont recall switching ROMS for one reason or another like I have with ICS based ROMS. Ive tried most of the major ICS ROMS (of course including Beastmade as I mentioned above), but after a few days or a week, it gets...glitchy. Hang ups, strange call issues, gets laggy, whatever. Maybe Im expecting too much from my phone, I dunno. What I DO know is I didnt have ANY issues on GB. Zero. None. Nada. Maybe >>my<< phone just doesnt play well with ICS *shrug*.

After 24 hours, Im not noticing any speed issues after being on ICS ROMS for the last couple of months. Everything just works. I also have missed not having BLN work for stock messaging app...which it does on DDW 2.7. Also the low vibration levels on all ICS ROMS vs GB. Maybe it sounds minor, but its an annoyance for me.

Anyway, since this is kinda the topic of the thread, I thought I'd post.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xdaGoon:
I used Juggernaut 5.0 (GB) as my DD for so long. I upgraded to T-Mobile ICS when they released it, and had issues receiving/sending text messages. People would say they would never get them or I would never get their response. This might be due to the radio I was using or the location i'm in, but I never had that issue with GB.

I don't use Wifi calling so I can't answer that for you. I recently upgraded to JB (cm10) and am so happy with it. Buttery smooth and no issues for me so far. However I have heard there are some extremely stable ICS roms available (Jedi Knight). I have yet to try that though, I just went straight to JB and love it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] android88:
I'm running AOKP Jelly Bean. I have been used to no WiFi Calling for a long time now. If you can get used to the fact that there is no WiFi Calling on AOSP ROMS, than you will be fine.

So I use to run Juggernaut 5.0 and loved it. My phone started to stop charging, no fault of the ROM. My charging port went bad. Sent my phone back and got my new sgs2. It was already on ICS 4.0.4, it has wifi calling. So stock ICS has wifi calling. Its the only thing keeping me from downloading a ROM at the moment.

[Atrix 4G General] invinceable76:
Heres my story,

So I have had my Atrix since November, and I still would consider myself a noob when it comes to all this crazy unlocking stuff.

Last week I got the genius idea that I wanted to unlock the bootloader and followed a tutorial on doing it. In doing so, I think I missed a step and essentially gave up. Luckily for me, I never bricked the phone or anything. When I booted it back up, my phone began running slowly, lagging into apps and switching screens, so I factory reset it.

Ever since then, I have been getting extremely low RAM, like 200MB used with basic apps open, with only 20MB available. I tried contacting motorola for help, but they are certainly no help.

Just wondering if anyone here can help, as my phone is still way too slow to be bearable.

Thanks in advance
[Atrix 4G General] ko_wei13:
Looks like your Atrix is not AT&T version. Those international version of Atrix will have RAM issue after unlock. The RAM size will reduce from 1G to 350MB after the bootloader unlock process. Try search for RAM fix thread or proceed with the unlock process, install CWM and flash other ROM like CM7. Those ROM had RAM fix built in.
[Atrix 4G General] ravilov:
Sounds like you need the so-called "froyo RAM fix". I don't know how will you ever get it on there though, not having an unlocked BL or custom recovery. In fact I don't even know how did your phone even get messed up like that without these. It would be immensely useful if you could remember as much as you can about what you did and what was the result.
[Atrix 4G General] upndwn4par:
First off, "Q's" go in Q&A.

Are you sure you didn't unlock your bootloader? Do you see the word "unlocked" on the Motorola splash screen?

If you are not unlocked, this should be possible (in theory):

Get the ramfix zip, then extract the files and updater.script

Use a root level file explorer to put the files in the correct place and set permissions correctly

Run the script to enable the ramfix

Use updater.script as a guide to tell you where to place the files, what the permissions are, and which script to run.
[Atrix 4G General] invinceable76:
It does not appear, no. I attempted to unlock it again today and got to the point where I typed in fastboot oem unlock or whatever, then I got the message << waiting for device >> but nothing further from there. I just unplugged and restarted my phone, and gave up once again.

Can you elaborate on the above? I am getting so frustrated with this low RAM because I can't even open a game or high RAM app without it lagging like crazy.
[Atrix 4G General] ticiano_arraes:
Trying typing "adb devices" instead and see if it shows your device. Maybe you are without the fastboot driver
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nightskye:
I'm new at rooting devices.

I used the Google Nexus 7 Toolkit v2.0.0 to root my Nexus 7 16gig. Before rooting I made a backup file of my data, the program created a 8.2gig .bak file. After all that rooting I went to restore my device files. Turned out good as I have all my apps and theme setting back to the way it was before rooting. What was not include into this data restore are my music, pictures, and video files.

My media files plus apps takes a big chunk of space, I'm left with around 3-4 gigs left on the device. My apps only takes about 1.2gigs of space and the majority of it is my media files and various downloads. After rooting and restoring I checked my data info via settings and I got about 11gig left. if you do the math it don't seem right.

Are my media files actually included in this bak file, if so how do I restore my media files back?

[Galaxy S III General] mick.wheelz:
EDIT: After more testing I am not happy with this version. I will put up a new version soon

Clockworkmod Recovery Image - I9305 Samsung Galaxy SIII 4G howto

What is it?

Clockwork mod recovery allows you to load custom OS images (like cyanogenmod and others) to your device

Things to note

This version is super-duper alpha, meaning that it is mostly untested and may not work!

I am not responsible for any damaged caused by using this recovery image.

It will increase your flash counter in odin

What do I need to do?

1. Download Odin (you might be able to use heimdall, however I have not tested this!)

*removed*

2. Download the image (1 part, tar file)

hotfile link;

https://hotfile.com/dl/174141057/71a063e/i9300_XXALI5_CWM.tar.html

3. Unzip Odin to an easy to access place (such as your desktop)

4. Copy the image file to the same directory.

5. Boot your SGS in to download mode

(power off... then press and hold the power + volume down + home buttons at the same time)

6. Connect your phone to your PC using the cable that came with it.

If you are using a laptop make sure you connect it to a port on the machine not the docking station (if you have one). If your machine has USB3 try to avoid using the USB3 ports.

7. Open the Odin application

Make sure your phone is detected, there will be a yellow square in the top left corner (see below screen dump)

8. Make sure it looks similar to the below screen (same options ticked, the .tar file in the 'PDA' section)

9. Press start and wait. Your phone will be flashed and reboot when it is finished.

10. When the phone re boots, power it off again.

11. Put the phone in recovery mode

hold down power, volume up and home when the device is turned off and unplugged
[Galaxy S III General] sxi200:
Well done Mick. Root and now cwm.
[Galaxy S III General] jinosong:
This is the only downfall of the 9305, lack of a large user base for development. Tip my cap to you guys.
[Galaxy S III General] mick.wheelz:
So CWM runs and the file system table / mount points are all correct (just as a note they are COMPLETELY different to the non LTE SGS3) however it is unable to mount as a flash drive or apply update zips.

The way I got this far was taking the CWM recovery image for the I9300 and hacking it to boot on the I9305.

I will probably have to build cwm from source for it to work properly. stay tuned
[Galaxy S III General] kris333:
Awesome!

This is awesome! The S3 GT-i9305 is going to be my first real Android phone (I currently have a $80 Samsung Galaxy Y now, but it sucks and doesn't count). I can't wait for it to be available, I'm probably going to travel to Singapore just to buy it (I currently live in Thailand, so it's quite close).

Let's hope the admins can create a separate S3 GT-i9305 forum soon, that would boost interest and development I think. I don't think development with the i9305 will be any less than with the US S3 editions, concidering that i9305 is the new international model that is going to be sold in most of Europe, Asia and Oceania.
[Galaxy S III General] ausdim:
You boot to recovery because you change the kernel but not the ramdisk.

You cant do anything cause the partition on I9305 is different from I9300.

You have to unpack ramdisk and add recovery.fstab from the I9305.

As i told yesterday to mick.wheelz i will try to do that job but i dont have the time.

Also i already send a test recovery.img to mick.wheelz to test it.

OK, made a new cwm image, its a hybrid of the build cwm ramdisk from the cwm builder, and the stock i9305 kernel... this was the only way I was able get the file systems to mount proplerly.

USB support is non-existent (because of the kernel) and I am still having trouble getting zip's to load.

I was able to make a system backup and I will soon test restoring it.

Guys please can anyone with i9305 rooted and already backup EFS image test that recovery.img?

Is made from original Cfroot from i9300 the kernel is from i9305 i only make changes to ramdisk image so 99% is ok but i whant to test the recovery function's if is all working.

Thank's
[Galaxy S III General] mick.wheelz:
that is what I did with mine... so you will have the same USB issue.

I will test the image tomorrow.

I dont know cause i dont have the device. :p

But i compare your latest image and have many diff's.

Waiting for you to test and reply.

I wish to have a fully working CWM like i9300.

Thank's
[Galaxy S III General] JJJohan1:
I'd be happy to test but since my EFS is already dead I assume I wouldn't be of any help to anyone.

Hey guys. I have a samsung galaxy S3 SGH-i1747M Running ICS on Bell.

It asked me to do an update today, a full software update (Not jellybean clearly). I accepted it. It automatically turned off saying that it was going to re-boot. It never re-booted. Now it wont even boot. When I try and turn it on, it vibrates, splashes the samsung logo, says "Recovery Boot" in the top left corner, then just gives me a black screen. I cant get into download mode and Kies wont recognize my phone when plugged in. Im pretty stumped on what to do.

If you guys could help me out that would be great.

Thanks

ZiiC
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] oriveradel:
Don't panic simple to recover, what you need to do is flash your ROM manually using ODIN.

1 Of course you need to get ODIN

2 Since you already have kies, it should recognize the phone as soon as you plug in to PC when you get in Download modem you can only tell if it gets recognized in Kies you will see COM PORT number ON (Yello) or Blue

3 download the ROM from Bell...Here: http://samsung-updates.com/get/2569/Samsung_Firmware_SGH-I747M_BMC_I747MVLALH1_Android_4_0_4.html

once all all the files are ready, while phone off get it in Download mode

How to get into Download Mode (For Odin)need to extract the zip

1. Unplug the USB cable.

2. Shut down the phone.

3. Hold down the 'HOME' + 'VOLUME DOWN' buttons and press the 'POWER' button for about 2 seconds until a WARNING! Screen appears. Press the 'VOLUME UP' button to enter Download Mode

Open odin, CHECK ONLY PDA and direct to file (rom) you downloaded (might need to be extracted first)

Plug the phone, which by now should be showing the Download mode screen, WAIT until the computer is done recognizing and installing then Hit start button and wait be patient it might take some time, and the first boot will take a long time...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Ian1331:
The above information is solid. However Bell has a 30 day "DOA" policy. So, if by chance you've only had it 29 days, you should rush to the bell store and tell them your newish phone couldn't handle a stock ICS update and they will swap it out. I tried updating mine (stock rom via kies) 5 hours after I bought it and I could never turn it on again... Complete brick. Bell store swapped it out no questions (I did not have the optional insurance).

If your past 30 days... See above post :)

So what do you all think? Bad luck, or maybe a bad device? Should i stick with it or should i try a different model phone?

This is not the off topic you're looking for.

This one is filled with people that will post off topic crap in your off topic thread....like this

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djjonastybe:
How well does a Nexus 7 play GTA or other highend games?

Well I will certainly develop for the Nexus 7. But I mostly support CyanogenMod :fingers-crossed:

From my experience with Google Nexus I see many problems because the kernel is very integrated in the ROM. Franco and other developers use custom frequencies which are not changed in the ROM. So actually the power mananagement will not be working properly. :D however it might be different here :)

I am only scared I will buy this thing and it will be of no much use to me.

Also how big is 7", can I still put it in my pocket or not. I might wait for the Nexus 7 3G, maybe not.

So I am still waiting for answers on:

- Does it play the latest high-end games? Eg: GTA, ...

- Battery life is it really 8 hours? Is it significantly more than my Nexus for example which seems to like to drain to 0%? How is this for heavy use?

- Are there any technical issues I should be aware of? Is that screen lifting thing really bad? Or shouldn't I be worrying about that?

Problem is development for Nexus has stalled for a while. I have school, girl friend, and one day in the weekend which I work in a pub. But I still do my best trying to push things.

I usually get 6-7 hours out of heavy use, but im overclocked to 1.7ghz with a96 trinity kernel and running glazed jelly bean rom. I think thats all you wanted answered, hope it helps.
