[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nodstuff:
If you couldn't be arsed learning what you are doing and why, and also learning so that you never get stuck in a situation like this again then work away with the toolkit.

Personally I think its the wrong way to do it.

Find the cf-root thread and do it that way if you want to learn how to do something.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slinkydonkey:
ok ill search it out but to be honest I have enough learning IT at work
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graffixnyc:
Well, if you want something easy to use and doesnt require learning then get an iphone Or dont mod your gs3. :p

If you only rooted to unlock wouldnt it have just made more sense (and less hassle if you don't know what you're doing) just to buy an unlock code for 10 bucks and be done than trying to dive in the deep end without knowing how to doggy paddle to accomplish the same thing?

plus with odin it couldnt be anymore simple especially for an IT guy.

get odin

get the cf root tar

boot the phone in download mode

point odin to the tar file and flash

it's pretty darn simple actually
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slinkydonkey:
Your right to a point I should of just bought an unlocked S3 off ebay thats my fault ..I had tried the odin method yesterday it didnt work then but today it has so im happy now ive run Vodooo and my mobile is working again. I use the S3 for my small business and partiuclar apps like Barclays app does not work on Rooted phones so maybe I should of get an iphone haha but im not that stupid .. :laugh:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bonebeatz1234:
i drove around every corner on my town rockford illinois and lte is strong everywhere accept when i get close to home but as soon as i cross a street it goes to 3g. Is there a app or way to connect to certain towers because i don't this will get fixed by sprint it seems to be this phone format have a lte only option just cdma/lte. i could literally go one block and have full bars lte but soon as i head home it goes from 4g full bars to 3g. a app or something i could flash to just have lte would be great. Because 3g is not usable in rockford just to slow.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jswearingen:
Not to be facetious, but once you get to your house, don't you have wifi? Seems like it would be a non-issue to me. :/
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] musclehead84:
I don't know of any option to make it lte only. Also just cause u have full signal doesn't mean you're not on the edges of it. That's your phones signal not lte signal. Same thing happens to me in Baltimore with LTE. I'll have full signal and lose lte connection.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] boomerbubba:
First, understand that LTE service has not been officially launched in Rockford. It is still under development. Full network buildout will probably continue even after the local market is officially launched.

Second, your "bars" display on the GS3 does not reflect the strength of your LTE signal, only the 1x signal used for voice, text, etc.

Third, if you want to understand the Sprint LTE rollout, go to S4GRU.com and read everything.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bonebeatz1234:
i asked because on tmobile when i had them you could just turn phone on to hspa only i thought there would be the same for sprint. ALL THE towers in rockford are complete is what sprint told me i should be receiving lte. east side ,westside, south side had lte even the north just the small neighbor hood that i just moved to today doesn't my old house i had lte which is three blocks away.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] boomerbubba:
The only way to force your Sprint GS3 to LTE only is in the hidden debug menus, for which I think you need your MSL. But when you to that, you are turning off all the other radio functions, so you have no voice or text connectivity.

If you had Sprint LTE service a few blocks away and lost it, and it does not come back by toggling the radio (airplane mode, reboot, etc.) then it may be that you were just on the edge of service in the prior location. What kind of data speeds did you get with LTE there?

It could be that inside your new home the signal is just too weak. If that is the only problem location, the best bet is to us WiFi there.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bonebeatz1234:
i just moved no wifi cable not on til next week .
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 00mred00:
You could try the app "network" to force lte
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Nomad397:
with your msl can't you adjust the s/n rx and tx settings ? i did this with my evo 4g and worked like a charm since i had 4g outside my house but not inside.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jswearingen:
Ah. Makes sense
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] cooltrix:
Now that we can swap the space used by Internal Storage over to our External SD card, would it be possible to use the Internal Storage as some sort of extension to RAM?

We got 1.7GB of storage that's not doing much of anything. If all of it or even most of it could somehow be added on to useable memory, we could have more programs open at any one time and still not lag.

If this can be done, what's the best (safest/easiest) way to do it?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] pepoluan:
Make it into swapfile, you mean?

If the kernel support swapfiles, yes it can be done ...

... BUT ...

... you will shorten the life of the Internal Storage, and possibly, significantly.

And when the Internal Storage dies... you can't replace it.

And, yes, it

will

die, sooner or later... it's not a question of "if" but a question of "when"... and I'm sure it will die much sooner if you put a swapfile in it...
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] cooltrix:
How many read/write operations before it burns out, you reckon? Would it be more or less than a physical drive?

Coz if this was possible, it would be very nice to have 2GB mem. LOL
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] pepoluan:
A spinning-disk drive has no limit to its rewritability.

A very-high-quality flash memory cell can last 1'000'000 write cycles. But I don't believe that our Galaxy W use that kind of flash memory. So, a more common number is 100'000 write cycles. When you're talking about swapfile, you're talking about at least 100 swaps per day, and possibly more. If you do not tune other parameters so that Android will not use the flash unless it absolutely have to, you can easily go over 1'000 writes per day.

When the counter passes 100'000... well, I'll say prepare to buy a new phone because the internal storage is not replaceable...

_____ Galaxy W + Mutant ROM + xda app _____
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] cooltrix:
So better to map that to External then, if at all possible?

Any ideas on how the system could use Internal storage to improve our Wonders?
[Asus Transformer TF700] DinkMcDinkleman:
I've had my tablet for just over a month and have been generally pretty happy with it, but about two weeks ago I noticed there are two spots on the bezel (around the LCD screen) that have a bit of play - it seems a bit loose. I've heard of others having problems with their LCD coming loose...just want to know if others have noticed the same thing or if people think it might turn into a bigger issue down the road.

I'm kind of surprised after reading the forums just how chintzy these seem to be...but I don't know if I just so happen to be only seeing the negative here or if it's a potential problem. Also...where the hell is my freakin' Jelly Bean!?!?!? LOL
[Asus Transformer TF700] Crizthakidd:
i noticed mine too and it also started clicking. i know for a fact if i didnt come to these forums i would not of noticed that or the light bleed at night. haha its really dumb, but i dont think i will return it. i have a leather case on it all the time so whatever. id rather keep it and forget about it then sending it to someplace for 3 weeks to get it back and miss jelly bean update next week
[Asus Transformer TF700] 1stx2:
I know this might sound a little crazy (completely stupid to some people) but what I did was: ( i'm really tired of having to go through warranty for little stuff, so I just decided to fix it my self)

I am NOT responsible if you don't know what your doing.

[1] Find you something with a very thin, sharp edge and super glue (ie. razor blade)

[2] Locate the loose spot

[3] Take the super glue and put just a tiny drop on the tip of the razor blade

[4] Hold your finger down on the loose part and run the tip of the razor ever-so-slightly between the screen and bezel

[5] Let it dry and it should be fixed
[Asus Transformer TF700] killerdan56:
what I did

I had a loose edge where the hdmi area is, I turned everything on in the tablet - performance mode, wife, bt,gps full light, super ips+ and played a game and let the tablet get warm. I then used a clamp to hold down the edge. shut it off and left it an hour. when I took of the clamp the thing stayed back in place

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjlusco:
Hi XDA!

Just a quick question, wondering if it's a GS3 problem or a router problem? When I set my router to use 40MHz bandwidth instead of 20MHz (part of the new 802.11N standard, wide channels), I have connectivity problems between my GS3 other computers on my network. That is, all computers and GS3 have internet access, my computers can ping each other, but my GS3 cannot ping any other computers on the network, and nor can the other computers ping the GS3.

I noticed this when using Unified Remote. Everything was all setup fine under 20MHz bandwidth, and then I changed it 40MHz to improve reception (short straw, furthest from the router). Tried to use UR, couldn't contact the server. Then tried pinging server comp from the GS3 and realized there was no connectivity. Tested pinging the GS3 from the other comps, same story. I changed the BW back to 20MHz, and connectivity was restored.

Is this a problem with my router's implementation of 802.11N, or is it the GS3's implementation? Any volunteers for testing?

Cheers,

Trev
[Networking] ontortrix:
I bought a Samsung exhibit II 4G unboxed online.

I´m located in Sweden and my phone just won´t work properly, i have two separate operators (3 & Halebop) with my regular operator ( 3 ) i cant get any signal at all (GSM, 3G, 4G) it won´t even find the operator hen i´m doing a sarch (it finds all other operators)

With my other operator (Halebop) i can only connect to the GSM net. I have spoken with my operators at 3 and they have no explanation and just say that they do have support for my mobilephone but can´t say anything about why it does not work. Everything is looks ok in their computers.

Does anyone have any idea at all why this could be?

Thank you for reading.

[Networking] brett_93_ex:
Just curious but is this still an issue? I know it's been a while but there was an update to the firmware of the phone that fixed a few bugs such as connectivity in areas and also fail to send txts. With the update mine and my wife's phones have improved a great deal.

AMD brings about 500000 android apps for windows users .....

Running Android applications on a Windows system is not new , most of us know bluestock ......

But what is new here is that AMD processors industry famous cooperated with BlueStacks App Store launched AMD AppZone ( http://www.amd.com/us/vision/shop/cool-apps/Pages/androidapps.aspx ) which allows users to download and run Android applications on Windows very easily by browsing through applications from the store, which offers 500 thousand application, and a single push of a button you can download and install the application that you want to visit and play. But AMD did not stop at the store, of course, but added advantage here is that they cooperated with BlueStacks to improve simulation provided by layer specifically for AMD processors. Any supposed to operate these applications have better and smoothly higher if your computer carries processor from AMD.

When you download an application for the first time will take some time as they will be practically full load platform BlueStacks him, but then are loaded applications easily format exe (like Windows applications normal) and run and a shortcut on her desktop like any other application unusual.

Saw this on BBC, I'd like blue stacks for Linux so I can watch Netflix on my Ubuntu Net book.
[Android Apps and Games] lexluthor:
Is this only possible on AMD CPU machines? Is there a similar way to do it with Intel CPU machines?

EDIT:

Looks like it's "optimized" for AMD, but you can get bluestacks for any processor.

I'm downloading it now. Interested to see how this works.
[Android Apps and Games] eslam hassan:
it will work with your intel cpu

it work with any procrssor but more better with ADM devices
[Android Apps and Games] HEXcube:
Android Emulator

Technically speaking, Android Emulator that comes with Android SDK is the best emulator. You can emulate any(well, almost) Android Device and run apps on it. It is available for Windows as well as Linux.

But, BlueStacks provides an 'out of box' experience. You don't have to do much further downloads or configurations. With Android Emulator, you may need to download plugins for the target device to be emulated. You'll also need to setup a virtual device manually before starting to play games. It's for advanced users and developers and not recommended for n00bs.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lordkaladar:
I've previously rooted my EVO 4G and just recently, my Transformer TF101.

I'm finally bored enough with my EVO LTE. I booted to the Recovery/info screen and snagged a screenshot (attached).

I'd rather NOT wipe everything off my phone by using HTC's unlock.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] leo72793:
I thought 1.15 was latest.....o.o
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
1.19 is the latest hboot and as far as I know the only way to root is to unlock hboot. There is a universal root tool but it won't let you flash roms and if I'm not mistaken it still unlocks hboot on newer htc phones
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shook187:
I have the new HBOOT 1.19 and Im unlocked, rooted and have TWRP recovery. Being s-on or s-off isn't a big deal. I could pretty much do what anyone with s-off could do but only thing is I have to approach it differently.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jklatt747:
I have hboot 1.19 and my software version is 2.13.651.1 710RD. I'm unlocked, rooted and also have TWRP recovery and am s-on. When I rooted my phone it also gave me SuperSU. I'm super lost now because I can't flash any ROMs to my phone. I've tried the charmeleon ROM and also the tranquility ROM but when TWRP is at the end of the Installing process it says that it failed and that there is no md5 or something like that.

what am I doing wrong?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
You have to flash the kernel separately unless you're S-off (or Hboot 1.12, then it doesn't matter).

Sent using my HTC EVO LTE and a magic wand
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jklatt747:
How would you do that?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
I believe you have to do it through fastboot. I'm not certain as I'm on Hboot 1.12 and don't have to worry about it. Sorry I'm not of more help :(

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jklatt747:
Does anyone know of any kernels that would work for the Evo LTE with what I described up top?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
Get the ROM you wanna flash, then pull the boot.IMG out of it's zip , then either fastboot flash that or use flash image GUI to flash while booted, the go to recovery and flash new ROM.

Boot.IMG contains the kernel.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
MeanROM and JellyBomb Domination as well as others have kernel installers written into the script for people that are S-ON so no need to flash the kernel separatly. Click the names in my SIG to go to those threads :D

Also make sure you are using the latest version of twrp 2.3.1.0 :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] altitud63:
When I turn on my Xperia S aparace in the notification bar "Damaged Internal Storage - SD Card was extracted unexpectedly". However I can copy files without problem and my windows explorer reads it well, I have ICS .45 rooted. The questions are, I have to give importance and worry? or how I can fix it?.

Thanks in advance to all
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] realfelix:
Did you override the SystemUI from the xps with the one from the T? If yes, thats a typo.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] xtrmshadow:
No its not a "Life or Death" error,one can live with it but it will just get bigger and corrupt more files.

You should fix it while the error is there,fixing is easy :

Connect the phone to the PC with the USB cable

Go to My Pc -> Mobile Devices -> Xperia S

Right click on "Internal Storage" and then click on properties.

Click on "Tools" Tab

"Check disk" and tick on the "Automatically fix errors" (Windows7)

Wait for it,and when its done,reboot your phone.

These errors usually happen when a file became corrupted cause of a unexpected reboot or things like that.

Goodluck.

Respect
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] altitud63:
In fact yes, I put the SystemUI from the T with the baterry %, Do you think it´s that the reason?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] altitud63:
I tried to do that, but when I click on "Internal Storage" and then I click on properties, never get the "Tools Tab", I only see the "General Tab", anyway I´ll keep trying. Thanks a lot.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Felimenta97:
Yeah. It's a bug with it. Simply ignore. The message was meant to be that the SD card is being mounted.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 420fan:
I'm stock rooted with an unlocked bootloader. I have been a flash addict to my fascinate and my DINC2, but haven't flashed any ROMS on my GS3 yet. I have a lot of stuff downloaded and many pictures taken. My question is if I use Titanium Backup for all my apps, do a nandroid and flash CleanRom2.5, when I restore apps with Titanium, should I be able to restore apps AND data, since I'm going TW rom to TW rom?

I have a lot of information I don't want to lose, which is why it's taken me this long to think about flashing a custom rom.

Side Note, can I get stock rom to save everything to the SD card? It saves a lot of stuff on the internal memory.

My facebook widget is not updating since the last FB update...anyone else?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
Yes you can. It's a good idea to tick the migrate data option in preferences before restoring (let's titanium know it's a different rom/device). If something hangs when restoring for longer than 5 min, stop restore and freeze whatever was hanging and do it again.

You can change the storage location in preferences, however if you already made a backup on internal you'll need to move the folder first with a file explorer to your sd. Then in ti preferences change storage location to that exact folder.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
Nope I've never been blocked when tethering. But I don't abuse the network, I think the most ever tethered was 1.5 GB when I was doing a lot of downloading of ROMS and tools.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] jjbz:
If you use a User Agent switcher for your PC browser and switch it to Android, you won't get throttled or blocked unless you use an exorbitant amount of data. Firefox and User Agent RG seem to work well.

The only downside to this is that most sites will appear as the mobile site, but there's usually a "View Full/Desktop Version" at the bottom of most websites.

EDIT: In a pinch, you can use the normal browser user agent to view sites. If you overdo it, T-Mobile WILL block you. If you can help it, try to use the Android user agent most of the time so it matches your phone's.

[Optimus 7 General] exousus:
Hey,

So here`s my problem.

2 days ago my phone just switched off, no warning, no nothing, and won`t switch on ever since.

I already looked around for people that may have the same problem, but every thread talks about the device that won`t go pass the logo screen. It is not my case. My phone doesen`t even show the logo screen, nothing. You can press the power button for as long as you want, it just won`t start. At occasions, it starts up by itself, only for a minute or two and then turns off again.

At first i thought it may be a software problem, so I`ve cold started it and reset it but it didn`t make any difference.

After, I`ve thought... maybe a battery issue, so I`ve talked with a pal that has the same device, switched batteries. Apparently his phone started with my battery just fine, but mine didn`t work with his either.

Does anyone have a clue about what`s happening?.. If yes, please do share. As much as I like having a phone with a mind of it`s own.. it`s just not dependable XD

Thanks
[Optimus 7 General] ZOMO:
Probably just broken / defective - if under warranty go and ask for repair or replacement (money back probably). If not under warranty sell as broken or throw to the bin - not to worth repair in my opinion.

I spend the same thing to my myself, LG stinks.
[Optimus 7 General] exousus:

Yes, it was a problem with the motherboard.. got it fixed on warranty. Now I barely use the phone, of fear that it will break againXD. Looking forward to selling it while it`s still functional.
[Optimus 7 General] ZOMO:
I've got mine just back from repair (second time). It use to randomly reboot, now I hope it got repaired ("faulty electronic components have been replaced" - but I don't know what exactly). What I realize is MAC address change. But as they changed firmware from 1.1.8.10 to 1.0.16.10, I wonder if that's why it has new MAC? Does new MAC address means that some component was replaced ? IMEI does not change.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Spectral1991:
Hi all, was hoping y'all could help with my problem. I have a problem with receiving SMSes. Calls and everything works fine, and I can send out SMSes, but I just can't receive it occasionally. I'll have to restart my phone before I can receive anything. And it's a on-off kinda thing.

The last time I remembered not having this problem was when I before I flashed JB AOKP. CM9/10 gives me the same problem, and I'm now back on stock (676.226.3.XT910.Retail.en.EU), but still occasionally encounter the problem.

Any idea why? Been trawling through the forums, but no avail.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tudork:
Same thing started to happen to me occasionally after the ICS update. I am on stock ics on European unbranded razr maxx.
