my buddy had the note 2 for about a good 3 weeks before releasing.. he works as a tester or something like that. i played around with it a lot and it is nothing special.

any company can put together a presentation video like that.. laaaaaame.. i stand by what i said earlier, go with HTC.. or get an s3 although samsung to me is the apple of android.. theyre amazing at marketing as if theyre the best in the game when there are tons of other options out there

Hi All,

As far as I know my device came from Poland and I have this stock room:

i9300xxblg8-uk-samsung-galaxy-s3-ics-4-0-4-firmware from 2012/07/28 date

Can you please tell me when I should get the JB OTA???
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InsteadWoolf:
Hey, if you want to make the ''most safest mode'' , wipe and etc... Then you should flash via odin the latest ICS Poland Unbranded XEO, then when you're go in the first configuration of software update you will get the Jelly Bean OTA. It's very easy.

Link for ICS POLAND : http://www.hotfile.com/dl/168356155/759deaa/I9300XXBLH1_I9300OXFBLH1_XEO.zip.html

OR you may want to flash the already available Poland Jelly Bean firmware, and a full wipe and factory reset is recommended. The link: http://www.hotfile.com/dl/173577508/3316be3/I9300XXDLIB_I9300OXFDLI1_XEO.zip.html

Tell me the way you choose and if it worked fine. :fingers-crossed:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Towle:
Just start over with the flashing instructions.

Since you're on CWM:

Flash the super wipe zip

Flash Rom of choice

Flash cache wipe zip

Reboot and let sit for 10 mins

Reboot and go.

If all else fails, find the thread for how to unroot with Odin. It's in the general section (not a sticky).

You weren't getting into download mode last time you tried. With your phone off and your battery inserted, hold both volume buttons while plugging in the usb until you see a green android dude.

I assume you didnt flash TDJ super wipe? what you got is a softbrick the linked you have is fine, but i fixed mine by flashing the same recovery you used when you rooted your phone. and then make sure you wipe everything even use supewipe. then restore with nandroid backup. One thing though you sound like you didnt root the phone with your computer as you dont have your proper drivers. check here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1513359 and here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1650908 it may help you. You can also find the odin koodo rom and go all stock. remember when you see the yellow brick on odin it means it recognize your phone

by the way some recoveries seems to hang on me too even the one we use to root. thats why I let rom manager to flash my recovery

Hi Guys,

We know they exist, we get warnings in the news and on internet but I never met anyone who had a virus on his/her phone. And I live in China (Shanghai) with 30 Millions people. I'm starting to wonder if it's really important to have an anti-virus app. Of course wisdom tells me it just need one virus to make it worth. But with all the crazy phone people that are here, there must be someone who had a virus at some point. If so, what kind of virus? How many? And do you think an Anti-virus app is really necessary? Are you using one? Are you wearing condoms?(Whoa forget that last one, too many questions.)

I don't have one for the moment but maybe after reading your comments I'll get one. Will see.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stefankorun:
I personally dont use one. Antivirus can (should) detect mallitious apps that might take advantages of user permissions and send sms, call someone or steal personal info without notice. Also almost all antivirus solutions offer anti theft protection (not so useful as it sounds).

My oppinion is that they are not worth the ram ussage if you are not installing free cracked apps from unofficial sources which is the most common place to install malicious app by mistake.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arsaw:
No. I don't have any anti virus apps too. I feel it is unnecessary.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hero000:
I don't think I need one! I don't do online banking from my phone! Other than that It will slow down the phone unless you are not doing something dodgy.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XoomZoom:
I put an Anti Virus on my first Android phone as I fell for all of the scare tactic bull**** companies give you to download their products, but no, I don't on my S3 and never have. If you ask me and probably half of the XDA members, most Android "viruses" are non existant, and are mentioned to scare you into buying their products (most have a paid version that will "scan better"). As a matter of fact I've researched it quite a bit and only came across 2 legit Android viruses, both of which are from illegally downloading APK files from a non-google site.

So to answer your question, unless you download apps illegally, you're fine. Only Android security I spent money on is Cerberus Anti-Theft, it's really good should you get your phone stolen. The only downside is that you have to either have Data or WiFi on 24/7 so if it does get stolen you can access it from the control panel, but there is sadly no other way. Just make sure if you do spend your hard earned dollars on it that you get Titanium Backup or another equivalent so if you wipe your phone you don't lose it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kremata:
Interesting, symbian is not as popular as Android.

What was the virus doing? I mean was it calling people or sending sms to your contact?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speedyjay:
I've never had antivirus, it just uses way to much CPU, RAM and unnecessary storage on your device. My phones never played up or messed up. I think its just a money making scheme tbh. It slows your phone down and is definitely not needed :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GhiGo65:
no, and i think it' not necessary an antivirus

if you know what you do you don't keep virus .... IMHO
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android_owl:
Just be careful which apps you're about to downloa - don't install fart-soundsboards for example.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarcelMAH:
I use Lookout Mobile Security but mainly for the remote locate feature. It's free for up to two active phones in one account (account is tied to your e-mail).

Never had it report a virus though... don't think it hurts and never noticed it slowing down my phone, not even my previous HTC Desire :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwerty12:
Eh, I ran Lookout when I first got an Android phone, but I don't think it ever accomplished everything other than introducing a slight delay after installing an application. I do run the JB-compatible version of LBE (which includes a ton of bloat - including an anti-virus), though, as I do like to block permissions, but I'd switch to PDroid in an instant if it were available for TouchWiz ROMs.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morchi:
i think AV is useless on the phone.

had avast for sometime (got "scared"), other from a little battery drainage didn't feel slower or anything.

removed it to check battery stats without it and just figured it's useless...

as for anti-theft, you get apps that do just that, so no need for AV for anti-theft security.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oswade:
Depends how confident you are as a smartphone user. If you check your app permissions (or if it is from a reputable enough dev), you shouldn't have any issues. As has been said above, cracked apps are the most dangerous, so be extra careful with those!

Also faik apps can't run hidden on android... so if you are an advanced user you should be able to check with a task manager what apps run in the background. If it isn't running in the background (and isn't your keyboard), then I doubt it can log your keystrokes etc.

So yeah, I don't use one. If phones get powerful enough such that the performance/battery impact is un-noticable, I'd probably install one (as I do on my PC - nod32), even though android is a more closed environment. If you're a noob who installs tons of cracked apps though (p.s. I'm not saying these attributes are necessarily linked lol), then of coure you should use one.

There is a rom available that is AOSP like , but based on TW. Check dev thread, I think its by TJohnson.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nicholaaaas:
it will never happen on CM 10 as they are open source. Most the TW gimmicks are closed source. Doubt they are gonna waste time to reverse engineer something that really adds very little to the experience
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mlin:
I disagree. There was a cm8 sense hybrid ROM developed awhile back for the EVO I believe. It was essentially a sense rom with cm settings. It was quite nice.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jamcar:
CM8 never happened
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dante32278:
Only my 2nd day on this phone, but the new TW did learn a few lessons from CM. If you can get your hands on a deodex stock, its just a matter of flashing a theme and using a few apps instead of having the built in customization options. Not the same as CM, but better than than the gs2.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] b-reezy:
This made me lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Circaflex:
how come, hes right you know they never released 8 because source wasnt released until the same time it was for ics so they just skipped it and went straight to 9
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] irock1985:
Well they make MIUI based on TW for the international GS3... Kinda the same idea. Mainly im sure most ppl like the Samsung camera and other stock goodies...

Sent from my Sprint GS3
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Dr. Fed:
MIUI is based on AOSP as well, I believe. It is not based on TW. The original Evo had a custom rom called Valpak that was a "Senseless" rom. The dev (I think his name was Vaelek) took the Sense based rom from HTC and stripped out all the extra fluff, replaced most of the design elements with with the AOSP "look", and tweaked the performance. Dude wasn't just theming, he really made an awesome rom that ran beautifully. And because he started with a Sense base, there was no loss of hardware performance or bugs (that you usually might have with AOSP, especially if "source" hasn't been released by the OEM).

Anyhow, there was something like that for this phone as well, but I never tried it. If people want a TW+AOSP combination, I would recommend running the leaked JB rom (thanks Freeza and leaker) with Nova Launcher, select the JB theme.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mlin:
Oh right, it must've been CM7. I totally forgot about the HC business. Anyhow, the ROM existed on the EVO though I believe it was ported from the incredible.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bsutton:
There is a version based on TW and a version based on CM10
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Dr. Fed:
Thanks I did not know that. I'll have to give that a try if it ever comes to this phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mlin:
Skyraider is the name of the ROM I was thinking of. It is a Sense CM7 hybrid- based on Sense but with CM7 settings incorporated. The link is here: http://www.teambamf.net/topic/5-rom-skyraider-sense-43-updated-71811/ If this can be done I don't see why a TW/CM10 hybrid wouldn't be possible.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Jbluna:
I remember a while back that this one guy from the at&t, I think, forumswas asking some of us to test a touchwiz aokp hybrid. It was a while ago though, not sure what became of it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] helipilotx:
CM VS TW

I think they should take TW get the blood ware out improve the kernel which is open source and post this one.

I was a CM fan but not any more because because by using CM I would miss out on A LOT cool features the phone offers.

i.e. have a look at the SGS3. Awesome phone cool features. CM 10 makes it run a bit faster, but I can (have to) live with that

Why does my phone not have a recovery or download option in the power menu? I recently unbricked my phone and i used a stock rom root injected so im on 4.0.4 and I want to flash this camera mod but i dont have a recovery option in the power menu to do it. So i used toolkit to boot into recovery and flash it but it just bricked my phone again. Does my phone not have a real root? Or is it the camera mod?

You're describing a feature normally associated with custom ROMs that's not present in stock.

If you have an alternate recovery (e.g. CWM) installed and want to enter it from a stock ROM, you'll need to use the three finger salute (reboot phone and hold Vol Up + Home + Power at power cycle) to enter recovery.

A nandroid backup is the exactly replica of your operating system, plus your kernel. Your pictures aren't store at the system but in your internal memory card (phone). Even if you use Odin to restore to stock your pictures are there, if you can see your phone in you computer just check a folder calling DCIM in your internal sdcard, or also a folder calling pictures and copy those to you computer.
