[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gjsii13:
Here is the situation:

I am a 23 year old CIS Grad who loves technology, computers, and my phone.

Current Phone - iPhone 4 (Needed trusty OS and previously had a Fascinate, Droid, iPhone 3G)

Carrier - Verizon

Upgrade Available? - Yes

Reasons I am on iOS

I steered clear of Android over the last few years because they release so many phones that I always feel that I will get the short end of the stick, see a newer, better phone, and want to kill myself.

Android Updates are just inconsistent (unless you have a Nexus, which is already outdated).

Reasons I Shouldn't Be on iOS

I love customizing my phone

I love rooting my phone

I love experimenting with the OS

So, should I get the Samsung Galaxy S III?

Wait for a newer, better phone this holiday season?

Other phones I am interested in -

HTC 8X
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ECrispy:
Only you can decide. The HTC DLX and the next Nexus are both due soon, you have to decide if its worth waiting. The GS3 is a fantastic phone, no doubt about that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DertyDOH:
Get the S3. Just this year I've had the Rezound, Nexus, Razr, and now S3. So I've tried a ton of phones, and software. To me the S3 is perfect. It has good aosp roms now, so you get the Nexus feel on aosp jellybean, and still have the option of Touchwiz which has great camera features like panorama, and is super stable and glitch free like the older androids had. Jellybean touchwiz is starting to leak out but will be a little while before its stable. Also, Google Wallet is awesome, never tried it until now, but love it. The camera is amazing, by far the best I've ever had. And my last point, battery life is awesome, I easily go all day with average to heavy use, just charge overnight while I sleep and thats it
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] patterns:
Hi guys,

Havent been on here for a long long while. Just bought a tab 2 as i was frustrated with the ipad. I have no idea where to start though with customsations etc.

Will need to root it i know, but can someone recommend a clean and smooth rom? dont want to flash it too much. Just general use really, transfer docs, browsing etc

Any advice would be appreciated.

many thanks
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] nakedninja42:
I would first start in your device forum. http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1596

Wouldn't want you to ruin your experience flashing something not meant for your tab since this section is for the Galaxy Tab 10.1 (first generation).
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] patterns:
oops! thanks for point that out!!

Admin - can i get this moved to the tab 2 section?
[HTC One S] unixguy29:
I'm new here, so I was not able to post this in the development forum. My apologies!

I am looking for feedback as to which custom roms afford the greatest stability with the most features. I have an HTC One S that I intend to root. Please share your experiences with me, and many thanks!
[HTC One S] sryan1983:
You should be glad that you posted in here and not development. You would have likely gotten flamed and banned if this was posted in the dev section.

Onward to your question. The ROM you choose depends on your likes. If you prefer stock "sense" look or the native android look. There have been 100s of these types of posts. Do some research.
[HTC One S] kira411:
Some Sense-based Roms is: maximuS, ViperOne S, TrickDroid, AxiomS......
[HTC One S] ValliJoe:
Depends on what you like sense based, CM10, miui? I stick with CM10 for the smoothness
[HTC One S] devgee:
Get sense based Rom for smoothness and stability

This should be in the Q &A Section!

[Motorola Droid 4] StevePritchard:
I've just got a Droid 4 in the UK (ICS preinstalled, just put my cut micro SIM in it, and it works fine). I've come from an XT860 (Canadian Droid 3) that had Gingerbread installed, and there are a few widgets that I used on there that I'm assuming were on the D4 when it ran Gingerbread, but have been removed in ICS.

I was wondering whether people have found alternatives for (or APKs to reinstall) any of the following:

News & Weather (I found a Genie News APK that seems to work ok)

Universal Inbox

Social Networking

It was handy to have the Universal Inbox; a single place where eMail and Texts would appear, and I could tap to read in full/reply. The Social Networking widget would aggregate Facebook and Twitter updates (amongst other services) and could be sized to 2x2, which was handy to put alongside the Universal Inbox widget on my home page. I've seen a motorola video explaining that these widgets have gone, and to simply use the Facebook/Twitter widgets, but they are a) 4x2, and b) a bit rubbish.

Does anybody have any suggestions?

Cheers,

Steve.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] djphooka:
Never had a problem until now...

OK, I'm running AOKP Sept 29.

edit: actually, I think it is the Oct 3rd nightly (built on Sept 29)

I can plug in to my PC just fine but my MBP doesn't recognize the phone.

When I mount in CWMR both drives appear, but not when the phone is running normally.

I read that i needed to reformat the card. Tried that... nah.

I have Keis installed, I tried installing Alt Mount, and messed with USB debugging too.

Nothing seems to work.

I looked at other threads too. nada.

any help would be much appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Vladabeast:
hey guys how is the internet speed on tmobile? some say its really bad. most say to use your nexus on the att network
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Very dependent on where you intend to use the device. The best way to go is to ask friends that have T-Mobile in your area and see what they say, or at least go use a phone in a T-Mobile store.

The Galaxy Nexus has an HSPA+ 21mbps radio, which means it'll be a bit slower than the HSPA+ 42mbps devices that come from T-Mo, but the speeds are still pretty good.

When I was on T-Mobile, I saw consistent 5-8mbps w/ 100ms pings. That was here in WA though.

[Motorola Atrix 2] Tre3180:
I've spent the past few hours searching for an answer to these questions but haven't found anything clear. My aux/FM transmitter connection in my 2006 hyundai recently bit the dust and instead of spending money to fix a sub-par audio connection I'd rather just buy a new radio with a USB input for superior sound quality. I'm an audiophile so sound quality is pretty important to me and I haven't been happy with my mp3 player audio in my car since I had a ipod connection in my previous car years ago.

My question is: Can anybody point me in the direction of a decently priced car radio w/ a USB port that they know the Atrix 2 (with ICS) will work with? My phone is unrooted and I just got the ATT ICS upgrade OTA yesterday. I don't mind having to download any app to work with the radio as long as it successfully plays music through the USB, but I don't want to have to root my phone. Any assistance/info is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I am excited to buy my Nexus 7 but i have a few questions before i unload the cash. First of all, i was wondering if i could use a OTG cable to connect the charger, a keyboard and a usb drive. Is this possible or am i better off getting this Asus Transformer (http://usa.asus.com/Tablet/Transformer_Pad/ASUS_Transformer_Pad_TF300T/) Also, is it possible to use a bluetooth keyboard instead and still use a usb without it being plugged in? Lastly, is it really large enough for typing essays, etc or is it a bad idea, Thanks for the answer

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] pTeronaut:
I have created this thread as this concerns a combination of two contributor's works and is not specifically linked to one of them.

As I understand things, DAGr8's KKO.X kernel allows for Fast Charge, and is an option which has to be enabled.

However, I cannot locate any switch within System settings to enable that option. I cannot find a way to change it within System Tuner either.

Is there an app which will allow me to turn on Fast Charge, or can someone tell me how to do it manually (or link to a post where someone already has posted a guide?)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dafoxs:
Should be under performance/kernel if I remember right. Or, do a search in play store, grab the nexus 7 fast charge app. It works. Small charge for the paid version gives you a widget to turn it on
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] pTeronaut:
No Kernel subsection in Performance in PA 2.18 (or in previous versions) for me.

Thanks for the pointer to the app.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dafoxs:
Sorry, misread the post, thought you were on dagr8. That nexus fast charge will work though
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] be4con:
I just got my GNexus back from Vodafone repair where they were repairing water damage. They cheerfully told me that they had "upgraded" my software. When I sent it to them I had relocked, unrooted and flashed stock JB. When I got it back it was unlocked and flashed with ICS.

I had a bit of a trial rerooting and flashing my nandroid but it took on the 3rd attempt, but I am now getting the above error cropping up. The first time I saw it was when trying to download the news in Guardian Anywhere. The 2nd time when trying to sideload an apk. I have tried fixing permissions and have checked my security settings are good.

Running JBSourcery 2.2

Any ideas? Thanks

Edit: I did a full wipe and clean install and the problem remains. I've worked out that it stems from the sdcard being write protected which must be because it was a backup of a virtual sdcard made using the nexus toolkit. So what I need is to be able to remove the write protection. I can't seem to do it. Can anyone help?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Okaham:
Hi guys, just got a Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 dirty cheap from Hong Kong, and using it now in the states. I am a huge fan of rooting/flashing and stuff, so I decided to give myself a little test and see how long I can keep this phone stock. I lasted two days...haha.

So, I set out to see how to root this thing. After reading thread after thread, I learned about the wipe brick bug on stock Samsung kernels.

Now here's my question:

I want to use method 1A (to be safe) using this guide here, and it led me to this thread. Now here's where I get confused. Which kernel am I supposed to download and flash?

My Stock ROM system info (remember, this is from Hong Kong)

Model Number:

GT-N7000

Android Version:

4.0.3

Baseband Version:

N7000XXLR1

Kernel Version:

3.0.15-N7000ZSLPF-CL558440

se.infra@SEP-68 #3

SMP PREEMPT Tue May 15 15:39:39 KST 2012

Any for of enlightenment is greatly appreciated, thanks guys! :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ginopunsalan:
The easiest is flash a safe custom kernel that will be safe to wipe, provides root access, and has Clockworkmod Recovery. Below is how I setup my phone to flash Paranoidandroid. I started with a stock N7000XXLRT rom. I did install and run Triangle Away to later to remove the yellow triangle counter warning on boot. Largely cosmetic. Please check wikis of this speedmod kernel supports ICS 4.0.3.

If all you want is root and a safe kernel then you end with step 3 and apply Triangle Away.

1. Begin with a stock ICS rom on your Note.

2. Use Odin on the PC,select PDA, and flash speedmod-kernel-n7000-ics-k3-13-Odin.tar with usb cable. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1673072

3. After flashing speedmod kernel you will have root access, and a custom Clockworkmod Recovery in which to flash custom roms.

4. Get Paranoidandroid zip and Gapps zip from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1871713 . Copy the Paranoidandroid and Gapps zip files on your phone's internal sd card.

5. Backup efs folder just to be sure. Use kTool from Google Play or manually copy the EFS folder with Explorer+ also from Google Play. Copy the files to your pc.

6. Press power button, select reboot, reboot into recovery and go to backup and restore section and create a backup. Select go back and reboot.

6. Reboot into recovery (Clockworkmod Recovery) wipe cache partition, wipe data/factory reset, wipe dalvik cache (advanced).

7. From recovery, select install from zip from sd card. Select choose zip from internal sdcard. Select the Paranoid rom zip and flash. Do the same to flash Gapps zip. Go back and reboot.

*When flashing nightlies, no need to wipe cache, data, and dalvik. But install Gapps zip again in Recovery. You will need to set up your Google account again.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Okaham:
Thanks. So it doesn't matter that I am on Stock Samsung ICS ROM from Hong Kong?

And also, what version of Odin do I use, or does it not matter? :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ginopunsalan:
Yes. HK rom pretty much is the same kernel with local enhancements. The XXLR1 seems to be German or European. It should be ok. Again please verify if the speedmod kernel works with ICS 4.0.3. The site says ICS so I think it does.

I used Odin3-v1.85.zip. Make sure you have an excellent usb cable. Test the rig by copying large files between your pc and the Note internal sdcard.

[HTC One X] Prof Peach:
Well FTP app (free fom the play store)

Ever had a data cable connection fail on you?

Had to fork out for a repair.... Nope.... me neither.

That's because I use an awesome app from the play store to

transfer files between PC/mac and phone via my router.

I know as an avid flasher that constant plugging and unplugging takes its toll

on the microUSB port on the phone which you cant ignore.

After all, its the only way to charge.

You need 2 free components and your router to get this working and

after 2 mins setting it up, it takes seconds to use.

You need WellFTP app available free from the Google Play store.

You also need a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) program.

A popular, easy to use and even better, Freeware FTP is Filezilla.

Install the downloaded filezilla.exe ready to use on your pc/mac.

Assuming you have the WellFTP app on your phone and Filezilla

installed on your pc with a wireless connection via your router:

(1) Activate the app on your phone. It should show the following:

(2) Run the Filezilla program on your PC/mac. At the very top left click File>Site Manager

(3) Click New Site and name the device (mine is HTC One X):

(4) Now enter the ftp server address from your phone screen (eg 192.###.1.76) into the General tab, Host box.

Then type the port number (thats the last 4 digits on the app server address, in my example its 2121) into the Port box.

Press OK.

(5) Select the Site Manager button (directly below the File button) on the Filezilla program.

On the dropdown select your device.

(6) This should activate the server and connect to your phone.

A list of the sd card contents will appear in the listbox on the

right side of the screen and your pc files will show on the left.

(7) You are now connected and can either drag and drop files to/from the phone

contents using the browser windows or straight from your desktop. You will see

the transfer details in the bottom window with eta's etc.

Next time you want to connect your phone via the wifi connection, activate the WellFTP app

on the phone and the filezilla program on your PC.

Select the device from the server dropdown as per setup and it will quickly show the phone files.

Drag and drop till your hearts content.

This isnt new.... its not ground breaking but if it means our phones last a bit longer and

we don't need to return to stock for un-nescessary warranty work its well worth using.

I use this daily for web design etc and so far have had no issues whatsoever.

I am not however responsible if something happens to your phone, your pc or whatever.

Use this software/app at your own risk.​

Just working on a concept for an app with a friend and I was wondering if technology exists or is feasible to scan for android devices in the area with the same app. So for example, if you and a friend walked by each other both with the app installed something X, Y or Z would happen depending. Mostly just wondering how the scanning would work, I know most phones have GPS enabled and I know most can broadcast wifi, just wondering if this is at all possible. Making the app shouldn't be much of a problem once I know where to go to figure this out, don't know exactly what this action is called, or how to go about it. Thanks!

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slim26:
I've been having a lot of issues today with my signal strength dropping to where it's become unusable. I have an AT&T US Atrix 4G. The signal strength is normally very strong, and is now barely showing 1 bar in and out. I'm also have data issues where I can not connect to HSPA normally.

I did update to the leaked ICS last night, and have reflashed and wiped several times. Since then, I have went back to GB 4.5.91. I am still having the problem back on GB. I'm using radio 37P.

One thing that I originally did not think had any bearing on this issue was I did hurl the phone across the room this morning (landed on carpet) as my phone kept rebooting during calls on me. I opened up the phone to see if anything was noticeably disconnected and it looks like the cord is still okay.

Is there anything else besides the radio that could be causing me the grief? Anything that I can try besides erasing the radio and re-flashing? Anything with any settings? APN settings? I reset the APN settings to default and I see the 4 AT&T APNs load.

Thanks in advance.

----this is the story part can be skippable----:p

Well i usually find the solution of my problems on internet but this time i think my hd2 came to an end.

I always thought i will make it brick while trying to update a rom but it happened this morning when i was at school

it has an issue, sometimes when i press the buttons it does not wake the screen up

that happened again and i thought its the same problem, i took the battery out and put the battery back in

----end of the story---

when i turn it on it stucked at white screen with htc logo. i waited and it didnt pass to magldr screen(i tried several times)

i put it in bootloader mode too and saw Serial is showing there

(Note: when my hd2 is in this 2 modes it looks like if i leave it like that it will go till its charge ends)

But when i connect it to computer, screen goes black (backlight still on)

And i am not allowed to do anything (neither task29 or installing magldr)

so i made a research, some says "if you think its a hardware problem put it in the freezer and try if it works when its cold"

i tried and only thing it made was making its screen go black with a cooler style:cool:

( i can upload a video of it :) and screencaps of issues both magldr and task29 gave )

and i should say there were no problem except "waking up the screen" before all of these happened

I am using NexusHD2 CM9 rom that i downloaded from android.hd2roms.com

2.08 HSPL and magldr 1.13

and last night when i pulled my adapter from plug i felt it was overheated

Please help and sorry for all grammar mistakes
