[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mbossi:
Hey guys so im having some issues when typing text messages or when typing at all on the keyboard after recently doing something. So for example, I took a call and then ended the call and went to resume sending a text message. However, when I began typing the letters were not responding as fast as they usually do so I was making all kinds of errors. I have tried using the stock jelly bean keyboard which has the same issue and I am currently trying out swiftkey 3 and it is doing the same thing. It seems to only happen after I recently close another app or finish a task like a call. I am hoping there is some type of fix in settings or it may just be the outdated hardware however, when typing normally I can type quickly with little to no errors at all and the keyboard picks up every one of the letters I press. Any and all help is appreciated. I am also running stock jelly bean, nothing else, go the phone about two weeks ago, GSM nexus from google play. Loving it otherwise though, also loving the switch to prepaid thanks to a forum post here as well.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tariq2kn:
I have tried Spirit FM Radio on S2 but it doesn't seems to work.

I have selected the Method as Galaxy S3/Note/S2 & Country as India. I only get the hissing sound as if no reception.

I'm on stock lpx rom with siyah 4.1.5.

If somebody has it working then do share the settings.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] panagiotis4te:
I use the August 11 version because with the latest i had an issue with the frequency tuning. There is also a setting in Debug, try the third one.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tariq2kn:
I installed the v.Aug11. Please specify the third option in debug, is it in general or audio.

One thing more, I'm able to listen to 100.7Mhz and not 91.1, 93.5 & 98.3Mhz FM :confused:

The only settings I have done are the local zone, the Audio/Method (Galaxy S3/Note/S2-ICS) and Debug/Galaxy S2 (July 12).
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deadheartsbeat:
Is there any way to share my wifi connection through my Nexus 7?

The situation is I broke my wifi card on my PC and would like to use my Nexus 7 as a router since there isn't one near my PC.

My Nexus 7 is connected to wifi already and I would like to share that wifi with the PC.

If anyone know if this is possible I'd appreciate it.

Thanks
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swisstourist:
Not possible unless u can plug an antenna like alfa card in your n7 and redirect the wifi to the card....

Forget about it. No driver for it and nobody did it. Not on android...

Or just buy alfa card on ebay for 20 bucks.... They are really good. I have 3.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] levelone:
Hey guys, i really need your insight on this.

I bought my N7000 today with 2.3.6 installed. I quickly realised that anytime someone called me or me calling anyone, the other end hears his own voice, loud and clear.

The weird thing is that this is happening ONLY if the plastic back cover is on. If i remove the cover even when i speak, the echo goes away only to come back when the cover is placed on the device again.

I have tried using another SIM card, switching to WCDMA/GSM mode, updating to 4.0.4 with no luck. I have been reading a lot about similar issues with the Galaxy S II, but rarely on the Note.

Am i dealing with a hardware issue?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kdagia:
Just search around.this is due to the second Mic picking up the sound bytes. You will find in the forum how to fix this..with detailed instructions on how to open the phone and fix the echo from the Mic on top t
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] levelone:
Took it back to a Samsung service point. Turned out it was a faulty mic assembly. They replaced it and everything is A-OK now. :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] treklos:
I'm having a lot of data issues with my HTC One S on T-Mobile US, so I'm thinking about getting an SIII. I can either do a warranty exchange on my One S but the SIII looks like it can outperform the One S so here I am.

I wanted to know if there have been any issues with the SIII? From the various threads I've seen, there doesn't appear to be any but I just wanted to ask current users. I'd like some input on:

stock ROM performance (although I will root eventually)

data connectivity (data network and wifi)

camera performance

battery performance

GPS performance

how your root experience was (easy, difficult, issues laden?)

any gotchas?

Also, what's the difference between the 2 development threads? Why is one called Original and the other is not?

Many thanks

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] theboss23:
stock ROM performance (although I will root eventually)

A. Amazing! The new touchwiz is smooth and very stable, it's partially the reason why I always go back to stock based roms.

data connectivity (data network and wifi)

A. It depends on where you live but I haven't had any issues with data at all, it's reasonably faster than it was on my Galaxy S2 so no complaints there!

camera performance

A. I think the camera is one of the best on the market, photo's are very sharp and clear from my experience.

battery performance

A. The battery on this device is good, I can make it through a day easily with moderate use.

GPS performance

A. I don't use GPS very much so I can't give you a good answer to that one but I haven't heard any complaints about it.

how your root experience was (easy, difficult, issues laden?)

A. My root experience was great, if you had a Galaxy S2 and rooted it, it's basically the same thing. If not it's still very basic if you follow the instructions correctly.

any gotchas?

A. Not sure what this means, if your talking about issues or something like that then I have one:

- The device can get warm from time to time when using data for long periods of time, other then that I haven't had any issues with phone.

I'd definitely recommend this to anyone looking to get a new phone!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] otariq:
Only problem I have is it warms up from heavy data use from time to time. Stock ROM was wonderful but I finally flashed cm10 last night to see how it is. I couldn't believe it but the phone became even faster Haha I highly recommend this phone
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] }{Alienz}{:
Stock ROM: Nearly perfect. It's fluid. It's fast, it's useful. And you can switch most things on or off without rooting. You can get a newly Aosp experience without root.

Data: As good as any other recent phone. Data completely relies on where you live. The s3 will not give you any problems.

Battery: Good or very good. The phone lasts about 20 hours with moderate usage. It can easily hit 2 days with light usage. Jelly bean currently has no bugs but it does drain the battery slightly more than ics. Expect 17 hours average on jelly bean.

Gps: Best in class. Locks instantly, consistently within 20 seconds cold boot.

Rooting: Rooting is easy and takes 3 minutes.

CAMERA: Same as the iPhone 4s but i do believe the software is better. Pictures are some of the best for a smartphone. Only a few phones best it but it is not by much.

Other: Phone is ready for wireless charging of you want to solder 2 wires on it. Also, i have heard reports that the screen cracks on some drops so be warned and careful.

Overall. Super fast, super reliable, has bugless jelly bean,
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] oscarwylde:
I have the sgs3 and I absolutely love it. Was on stock form late July till about 2 weeks ago and it seemed to perform just fine. I'm not huge on the TouchWiz interface of the past but this one wasn't so bad. Was never at a loss for power even though we didn't get the Integra (le sigh). Here in Chicago the data is always smooth but I spend some time in rural WI, so up there it could be better but that is more local then phone performance related. The Camera was outstanding. Girlfriend has the HTC One S and she was a little jealous of the camera by comparison. I had a very smooth root transition and I did it about a week after I got the phone, now I can only imagine it will be smoother for you. Flashed to the cm10 nightlies and I have had a few issues but nothing that was major. Not to mention Cyanogen himself is developing on the T999 which is awesome. Only issues that I would be aware of is that when I rooted my phone there were some issues with people losing their IMEI... but that has mostly been cleared up if you search around the forums. I think it had something to do with people rooting for the international version instead of the US Carrier version. Not sure but I didn't encounter it. Best phone I have ever had. Like it even more then my old G2 that I refused to get rid of till it finally crashed.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] psykhotic:
Please don't get it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bfranklin1986:
The only issue I have had is the dirty looks from Apple fan boys
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shahkam:
Stock works just perfect its stable and such however i notice that when data is turned on the phone gets a little bit hot but nothing too serious...

Battery life is okay 22hs unplugged and 3h30minutes screen on time ..

I dont see any major issues camera is really good in bright area but when it gets very dark whit no flash camera is taking pics whit lot of noise but its very responsive ..
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] papabear:
You should be proud.. that you have a phone that doesn't break apart in the box during shipping.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] driftnut56:
My first S III had a dent in the metal beneath the battery and the second one had a significant scratch in the speaker grill. My third one was just assembled loosely or the pieces didn't fit together well so there were gaps in the seams under the battery cover and all three of these had poorly calibrated displays because white images appeared to be slightly yellow at times so I wouldn't poke fun at Apple if I were you...

4th one's the charm though. I'm happy with this one.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] atikis_maximus:
The GS3 is the best phone I have ever had. Don't have any problems. Only thing I miss is no FM radio.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] lazarat:
Yes it leaks.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] AttachedSilver:
Best phone period.

Well, until the next big thing arrives ;)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Testimonyy:
-stock ROM performance (although I will root eventually)

Rooting doesn't necessarily mean that you have to switch ROMs, but anyways, stock ROM seems to use a bit more battery than lets say CyanogenMod but other than that, I enjoy the motion controls on the stock rom. I always have better bars than my friends and everything works like a charm (:

- data connectivity (data network and wifi)

wifi and data both work well. one time I had a problem where data wasn't working that well but i fixed it by reverting back to stock kernel.

-camera performance

i love taking pictures with the camera. the features are pretty enjoyable too. my aunt really loves the "beauty" feature on the camera where it clears up blemishes and makes you look really nice 8D really enjoy being able to take pictures while recording video as well.

- battery performance

typical day I can get 4 hours of screen time in the full day. that is with some light gaming, lots of texting and some social networking. pretty good for a heavy user. my old phone nexus s, would always get low battery and I would have to watch my usage.

- GPS performance

before i switched carriers, I had unlimited data on mobilicity so that worked really well with the GPS. I could always locate myself and sometimes when I wasn't too sure about the area, i could pull up google maps and it would find where I am within seconds.

- how your root experience was (easy, difficult, issues laden?)

rooting the s3 was pretty simple. It just involved using Odin to flash a custom recovery and then installing superuser. it was a lot easier than my nexus s where I had to use adb and fastboot

- any gotchas?

there is the occasional lag and glitch here and there but then again after rooting you can't expect everything to run perfectly. hopefully you get the s3 and enjoy (:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] est_cap:
Hi, I have a i9300 (international) S3, , and I wanted to flash the official 4.1 by Kies or OTA, since it's been released some days ago. I see a lot of people getting the Oficial update via Kies (not the Odin method with Poland rom), in the Interantional, the same as me. Might it be that Kies or Samsung doesnt let the update here yet despite it being international (Being even that this phone ISNT from Argentina, it's the international version bought in America I think, or Europe)?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nas Eiesefpi:
It's not release yet for your country.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] est_cap:
Thanks for quick response.

So it's basicaly being "blocked" because the location of my IP, right? Doing some VPN crap could trick that? (asking so I don't waste my time, I know how to do it).

Do you know if in United States the International verison has the update via Kies?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billybobjones:
no its being blocked by your devices csc. good day
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] est_cap:
? Mhm... but I didn't buy it in Argentina, and it's the International version bought directly without carrier and unlocked... what makes then this phone different in CSC to others phones also international and same exact things being updated perfectly then? :confused:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xitahix:
It's not release for almost any device. You'll see the update hiting europe in october, and probably other areas too.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] est_cap:
Also it says CSC:

LG4 (TPA) ... i dont know what regon that is ..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] est_cap:
It seems that It's a bought in Panama, with I9300UWHCLG4 ... it's gonna be a loong time I guess till I have official JB. Dang.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BOZG:
est_cap

At the moment it's largely irrelevant where your phone was bought. JB has only been released on an extremely limited basis - Poland and a smattering of networks in a few countries (though I've seen no one talk about these countries on here). There is no IP blocking. JB just isn't here. And if people are claiming that they're getting JB from Kies, they're lying unless they have Polish phones.

I am trying to watch a streaming flash video on my Nexus using the stock browser. The phone screen keeps turning off as per its screen-off time. Is there a way to ensure that the phone does not go to sleep while watching video?

i had that same issue and on almost every phone. i had no screen timeout i hate when the screem goes dark. when i use my phone i need it on when i don't use it i lock it no battery drainage etc.

Also keep screen on while charging in the settings is a fix too. Although a toggle is a lot more convenient.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] real_khali:
Hey guys, I just bought my Galaxy S III, I'm coming from the S II.

On the S II, there would be an installation process that I remembered by heart after flashing several times:

Open CWM

Backup

Install Darkside SuperWipe

Flash ROM

Flash gapps

Install Darkside Cachewipe

Reboot

Wait 10 min

Reboot.

While I've been on the S III forums for the past 2 days I haven't seen any of the devs have an installation guide, I figured I might have to wipe dalvik, wipe data or something but haven't tried just yet. Maybe I could just flash ROM over it.

If there's a process can someone please tell me.

Thank you, greatly appreciated.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mikeb85:
Backup

Wipe cache

Wipe dalvik

Wipe data/factory reset

Install ROM

Wipe cache

Wipe dalvik

Reboot (unless u need a kernel then see below)

Some ROMs require to flash kernel in that case after the last dalvik wipe flash kernel then wipe cache and dalvik.

P.s. u posted in the wrong section and u will here it from more than me this should be In Q &A hope that helps ya tho....
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shehade08:
Superwipe , wipe cache and cache/dalvik install ROM and then gapps if your installing a jb 4.1.1 ROM then I would wipe everything again and then fix permissions and reboot, wait 10 min and reboot again

Please correct me if I missed a step
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] real_khali:
So does SuperWipe work for every phone?

My .zip file for SuperWipe says SGH-T989_Darkside_superwipe.zip
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mikeb85:
I would not use the super wipe script from The s2 I believe there is one floating around for ours but I do not use it ... I also recommend u use twrp recovery instead of clockworkmod
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] real_khali:
This is what I did 2 days ago to install AOKP JB Build 3 and its been working like a charm

Reboot recovery

Wipe data factory reset

Wipe cache

Wipe dalvik cache

Flash rom

Let the phone sit for 5 mins then reboot

Haven't had any SOD or RR, should I stick to what I did?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mikeb85:
U also need gapps for aokp,cm10,paranoid,hellfire, and cna... u do not need gapps for touch wiz jellybean leaks.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] real_khali:
yeah my bad...i also flashed gapps..i forgot to put that in there..

So, should I just stick to what I did previously?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mikeb85:
I depends what u are looking for in a ROM..... if u like stock aosp then aokp is probably the most stable but there are tons of features on touchwiz ROMs that have me going back and forth... so its all preference really if u like stock jellybean

Then u are good where u are
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] real_khali:
yeah, i like where i stand with the AOKP builds, it always has me going back to it . thanks for the help

well typically any ROM that i flash i just use these steps and haven't gotten many problems

reboot into recovery

flash rom

flash kernel (optional)

wipe cache

wipe dalvik cache

fix permissions

boot

wait 10 mins

reboot

It seems like many Arabians (UAE,Kuwait,Egypt etc) are active in here i think we deserve a united thread for all our news/discussions starting with release dates/prices so i hope this will be the one thread for all of us :)

So far the Note II landed in Kuwait/UAE for about 760$ and supposed to land in KSA in 3/4 days for 740$ I'm interested in prices W/O warranty to be honest anyone knows supposed prices for these units?​

How much does it coast in Jordan?

Only 2 hours of driving from Israel :D

Just kidding... Of course Israel is no included in the middle east releases... We have here a very bad importer! It took them forever to get the first Note. (They import fast only the Galaxy S series) :(
[Galaxy Note II General] MariusB:
Hi,

Does anyone know if the model sold in the Middle East is 4G/LTE enabled?

I asked Handtec and they told me that the model they have in stock is 3G only
[Galaxy Note II General] Hell Guardian:
I honestly dont know mate, and believe me they will never be as bad the importers here in Egypt, quite annoying to find the Note prices in Canada (Int version) are higher than the Gulf/ME so i will just get it from here :angel:

I checked a Saudi Telecom company website to check if they have the note and its their for pre-orders and in the listings it says 4G,but honestly the whole middle east will get the international version which INDEED have 4G, but we already dont have 4G so its quite useless maybe that's what he meant that it wont work so only 3G will work :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy Note II General] bahaa89:
Is it already being sold in Jordan ?
[Galaxy Note II General] 1902:
I wouldn't recommend to buy without warranty, you end up paying around a 100 $ less and take a risk of getting a faulty device.

No LTE GN2 for arab world, frequency will vary.
[Galaxy Note II General] Hell Guardian:
I know mate but i dont live in the Gulf so taking a ticket from here back to there to just fix a phone doesn't sound very ECONOMICAL to me :laugh:

i have family members there but between there have annual vacations i would rather have fixed it my self by that time!

nonetheless mate, any info about the prices/release date in Lebanon?
