[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 00mred00:
Ohhhhhh ok you CALLED tech support...my bad. I thought you took the phone in to a repair center. Sounds lume you did both? I know there isnt much out yet on the S3..pretty sure tear down info isnt even out there yet.

It still throws me off that someone would tell you to use insurance in a store. Within 14 days they typically swap out the phone with a new one. After 14 days they should have just ordered a new one.

1. From what I have heard call center stuff is farmed out. I hate that.

2. Seems kind of silly to me to expect resolution to a hardware issue over a phone call (just in general, not directed at you)

And yeah after reading a few articles It sucks to find that since my galaxy note on att I have been misinformed...the chip itself still resides in the battery and the antenna is on the back cover I guess
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thomasmatt25:
Its Sprint employees like that that make the good ones have a bad name. I have been a Sprint employee (Store manager @ Preferred Retailer ASC) for over 3 years. I have watched other locations in my region fall by the wayside and have been nearly shocked in every way imaginable from some of the "help" or "suggestions" i have heard. I can say from an employee whos store location has managed a 90% CSAT average for over two years that not all are as "smart" as the one you encountered. I am sure you are aware of that but it truly upsets me to hear of some wannabe, fake technician simply trying to pass the buck with the "good ol' hard reset will fix ANYTHING" option......k done with my rant....thanks for listening.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dante32278:
I did both, during the day at work I brought my phone into a retail store and left it there for 2 hours. Later that night, I called in and received the "huh" service. To sprints credit, they were very helpful an my epic touch phone issues. But I was also shocked that the guy at the store suggested asurion instead of ordering me a new phone, seeing as mine was only a week old with no damage signs.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Dalmus:
So, does that mean we are forced to buy actual Samsung batteries for our phones if we want to use NFC?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dante32278:
No, just check that they are NFC enabled. I returned the one I was using and ordered a new 3rd party that will work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] contradude:
I feel like those of us who are good enough with cell phones probably make some stores feel like we are overqualified. Better to pretend we are herp durp until after we are hired as sales reps
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dante32278:
More loveliness for this topic.

So I ordered a replacement phone as sprint suggested the night I posted this. After I found how to fix the issue, I called sprint and a rep told me "just send the new phone back and you will be ok, they will accept the phone and you wont be charged."

Received phone, returned it in the postage paid envelope.

Last friday (2 days ago), I dropped the same original phone and the screen shattered. I placed a claim with asurion and was advised due to having 3 claims in a year they are cutting me off (dropped my, epic touch aniut 2 months before getting this one). Now asurion has 300 from me, I am getting my replacement tomorrow, but they do not want to invalidate my prior claim. The guy on the phone said they have to honor all claims and sent me to a sups voicemail. I call sprint and tell them this was a result of bad advice from their store and call center and am advised to call Asurion again. Wow. Wtf.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dante32278:
Funny thing was I also reverted back to stock for the rep before I gave the phone (stock rooted). Regardless, if our a tech and should know about your phones, wouldn't step one be check the battery to see if it says NFC enabled? I could see if you can't get it to work after that, but...you're a tech. Doesn't help that the guy I talked to on the phone didn't even know what NFC was.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dante32278:
Probly true....and I know a thing or two about fixing things....but before u just use easy out to call insurance wouldn't a better customer service aspect be "i don't know, check around as I am not familiar with the issue" or "i called Samsung and the said..." as opposed to "dunno, get a new phone"?
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
Long story short, I don't know how I did it, but I somehow lost the Home app in my stock ROM. I don't run the ROM often, and ran it after a 5 month hiatus (oh god the updates!) and made the awful mistake of uninstalling GO Launcher EX. You ever run Android without any launcher? It is not fun! Fortunately Play Store was in the recent apps, and I could download and install Holo Launcher. So now it works. But I'd like the original launcher as well, just to have it on hand.

/edit: Background music for flashing stock ROM... It should play whenever you flash the stock ROM. (Don't wanna click? It's Darth Vader's "Imperial March" theme from Star Wars.)

//edit again: Thanks, it worked. The music was fitting. I can't believe my wife puts up with this lag. It's like going from a sports car to a fixer-upper. But I found what I was looking for.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
Yes sir I have. I'll see if I have it somewhere. Do you need odex or deodexed? Also, which build?
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
Thanks Loki. And I don't know what I need. I used to vaguely know odex from deodex when I was using Samsung, but now the terms are foreign to me. If I used a file manager, I would have removed the odex file with it, I'm sure. If I used Titanium, I'm not sure if Titanium would have also removed the odex file.

It's kinda coming back to me... We had to deodex the system (on Samsung) before we could theme it. If that's just general Android... I'm sure I didn't deodex my system. Definitely didn't theme it. Sorry for the confusion. I assumed they were all the same file.

Build? 2.3.5. Shouldn't matter if it's from Photon or Electrify, I don't think. Only difference should be the default wallpaper. I'd actually prefer Photon's, but I can add the Photon wallpaper to the Electrify app.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
Think this is 2.3.5 deodex

(I'm trying to find odex. Didn't realize my mopho archive is as big as it is)

EDIT:

So that wasn't it. But I did find Blurhome 2.3.4 from 198_7DeODEXed. I have stuff going as far back as Yay's preroot 198_7 (think I even saw Alien and Home Base) so try those two and let me know if they work.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
Thanks Loki. I will try the second one.

Looks like I'm going back to stock (to try it), haha! So I just have to Nandroid my ICS ROM, then I can restore the stock ROM.

My own MoPho archive might be about 1GB. I dunno. I think I have current versions of all the ROMs. I don't generally keep old versions. And I'm not really involved with the scene (as in I haven't developed anything).

I'll edit and let you know if the second one works.

/edit: Weird. Not sure why my post reverted. I had two edits. Anyway, it worked -- thanks again!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] limzm:
Hi everyone,

This thread goes out to any Android developers out there.

I am using Huawei u8860 Honor with ShenDu2.0 ROM.

There are several bugs with sensors like Gyrosensor and Auto brightness not working.

However I managed to fix them by replacing the sensors.default.so and lights.msm7630_surf.so module in /system/lib/hw with the official files.

Though after fixing, logcat is being spammed with GyroSensor error, with the sensor still working .. :confused:

Here is the logcat: http://pastebin.com/xmwS2VpD

You can see that the error happens in microsecond.

Wish some developer could shed some light on this.

I am quite skeptical because I feel that this may drain battery.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Raillery:
I finally broke down and got an S3 today and also picked up a pack of the ridiculously expensive stick-on screen protectors that Verizon sells as I didn't want to take any chances in between buying the phone and getting some cheap ones. Anyway, the screen looks very grainy with the protector, especially when displaying lighter images. I really don't mind that much but when I'm taking pictures it really bugs me. I was wondering if anyone knows of a screen protector for the S3 that is durable but doesn't make the screen look all grainy.

Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mnhertz26:
The screen protector that comes with the otter box case is perfect. You really don't even notice it at all. It's the best screen protector that I have personally used
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Raillery:
Ah damn I already bought a case.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] coogrrr94:
I'm not a big fan of the otterbox defender screen protector. As a matter of fact I am not even using it. I think there are a lot of protectors that don't look grainy, I wish I could find one that didn't show fingerprints.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Raillery:
Verizon replaced them with some clear ones. I guess I had gotten the anti glare ones. Having trouble getting an air bubble out though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] geolemon:
I'm not a fan of cases in general, so I bought an Armor Shield full-body protector - essentially it's like screen protector film, but they send precut pieces to protect all of the phone rather than just the screen.

I'm really really impressed with the whole package - the body parts are cool in that they really just give a great grip (the stock phone is really slippery), but the screen protector is really impressive in all the ways screen protectors have disappointed me in the past.

This one doesn't feel rubbery (interestingly, since the body parts add grip), in fact my finger glides on it better than the glass surface. That was surprising.

And, this one doesn't collect fingerprint grease.

I'm betting armor shield sells the screen protectors solo... and probably affordable, I think the whole body package with the screen protector was only $15.

And it's clear, I think for your original question, just avoid "matte finish" screen protectors. Those are the ones with the hazy/grainy finish.

If you want the latest and greatest for our old but AWESOME x10 there are only a few roms to choose from due to the age of our lovely old lady.

It depends on weather you want cutting edge and slightly buggy or a few months old and rock solid stable.

Jelly bean on the x10 is a big ask from a developer, considering the age of the device and the time investment involved in producing the rom....

However.....this has a bit of JB

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NikitoGR:
We will not see JB on x10. The butter project needs 60fps, which the x10 renders only 3 fps in JB. You can try ICS which has no full camera functionality (only 6mp, with a grey line at the bottom, and QVGA full functioning), no video recording and no Airplane mode. Moreover (if I am right), it hasnt full h/w acceleration too.

A great and stable rom for every day use is Xperia S ICS
