[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Zellis:
Quick question that may warrant a yes/no response: When I install a new rom and it presumably deletes all of the verizon bloatware, is there any way that this could A. negatively affect me/they could find out and B. cause a loss of functionality (loss of voicemail or something)?

Thanks in advance,

Zellis
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mapatton82:
A) The only way it would negatively affect you would be if you use the services (bloatware) that are removed. AFAIK Verizon does not track where their software is install, meaning they are not going to know that your phone doesn't have VZ Navigator.

B) Voicemail should still work, unless you use VZW Visual Voicemail (again bloatware removed) and if this is the case you should consider using Google Voice which is the same service for free.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] noojster:
Good day!

I've been using the phone since May, but this September ive been experiencing a weird issue when it comes to charging my phone.

Sometimes it doesnt charge, what I needed to do is remove the battery, reinstall it, then power it on, then it starts charging once I plug in the usb cord.

After a couple of hours use, when I need to charge again, it wont charge when I plug in the usb cord. I need to reinstall the battery again for my phone to detect the cord or to show its charging.

The battery performance is still okay though, it doesnt have weird discharges or anything.. Its just that when its time to charge, I need to do the ritual again.

Thanks for all the kind replies ahead :victory:

Is bad battery life an innate trait of sense roms?

I have typically stuck to stockish and aosp roms so I'm a sense Noob, but this is the biggest downside of sense style that I've noticed.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
yup, sense is bloat. of course every defines bloat differently, but if you like the aesthetics then its the cats meow. but no matter your preference it will inherently drain your battery more than aosp roms
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bob232149:
sense requires more processing power then stock and takes up more ram

depends which sense u use be it from the stock 2.1 to the new 4.0 will all be slightly different

however devs have made roms that are pretty battery conversant.

and especially sense 4.0

it is very nice...
[Transformer TF300T General] joker66599:
long story short as I can get it.

I was in rom manager looking at boot images. then went in to setting to see if i could get it full screen some how or another I could only see about 1/4 of mt screen only if I have it long ways up nothing it side ways.

I rebooted a few times and nothing.

I booted up in to RCK and wiped Dalvik/cache hoping that would clear the setting. It did not. I went back in and tried it again but this time i cleared my rom ops. Was my stock rom all I had/have is root access. I tried installing a rom blackbean #5 but still freezzes on asus screen

PLZ help. willing to pay/donate if someone can fix it.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] throwback1718:
Which one am I supposed

to be on ? My "about phone " info shows HSDPA

I get DL speeds of ~5Mbps

Aren't HSPA + speeds supposed to be higher ?

BTW don't flame. The search feature on tapatalk sucks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
On ICS, when you're on HSPA+ it identified in "about phone" as HSDPA or HSPAP.

On (stock) Jelly Bean, it'll properly identify as HSPA+ in the "about phone" screen.

Regardless, the speeds are the same, it just reports it slightly differently. And it looks like you're running some weird custom ROM, so I wouldn't be surprised if it was reporting it differently than stock Jelly Bean.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] throwback1718:
Lol its liquid smooth ROM . But again aren't speeds in a much higher bracket ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Huh? The speeds are the same, that's what I'm saying. Its just reporting differently.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] throwback1718:
I really thought hspa + had higher DL speeds Than that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
That's HSPA..

HSPA+ will register as HSPA+ or HSPAP(the extra P is trying to say Plus, just figured it out)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PUTALE:
the phone will only get up 21mbps hspda and not the 42 mbps.

First thing to be sure if that you are talking about mbps or MB/s. If it is MBs, then I think it's pretty good speed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] throwback1718:
I've seen some scores in the 15 Mbps range
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DarkBanHammer:
It also mainly depends on where you live I only get 2.4 MB/s at night and 0.7 MB/s down during the day
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sdobron:
I'd say that's about average for tmo. I've gotten faster before but now I just use the phone and try not to worry about it. Tmo speeds are much better than at&t in my area.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PUTALE:
with my one s, I have seen it got around 4 Mbps to 8 Mbps (that is with DC 42Mbps) with 2 bars. On a good day with good signal I think it can get to around 15 Mbps but I think normally it hovers around 10ish. So I think your number is fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
The One S is a 42mbps device, so the speeds are gonna be higher than the GNex, which is a 21mbps device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] throwback1718:
Doesnt that only apply to speeds above 21 Mbps?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] luckylui:
This is me running radio UGLH1 in the suburb of Chicago. I would love to see 21Mbps!

#Galaxy Nexus HSPA+
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
No, it means that speeds will be generally higher assuming that the towers you're connecting to are 42mbps HSPA+ compatible.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zAlbee:
Can't be, we only have 21 Mbps HSPA+. It doesn't even look like a Nexus (no on-screen buttons, status bar looks like Gingerbread?)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smallsmx3:
Looks like touchwhiz
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aeoveu:
That's exactly why I asked if it was a Nexus... cause I thought the same.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] walie:
I did a search , but didn't find any satisfying answers.

From reading the forum, I understand that you should not use an At&T modem on any model other than an AT&T GS3 because it can cause issues, but can you freely use a kernal, (stock or custom) that is meant for the AT&T version on any other north american GS3??

Thanks!!

both times flashed back to telus modem and all worked good,

i have flashed custom kernals and roms from at&t and bell with no problems
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] lgsshedden:
for the I747 the modems are carrier specific and you should use only those for your assigned carrier to be safe. Most custom ROMs leave out the baseband/modem for this very reason.

Kernel source is common and independent of carrier, but are version specific i.e. ICS., JB etc.

I'm on virgin in Canada and have flashed all firmware from Rogers, Bell, and Telus thru odin with no problem at all. Pretty sure there are only 2 different modems for these carriers so far LE8, &LH1 which are both included in the modem flasher in the dev section

[HTC One X+] PhilipL:
Hi

What can be seen on the FCC website is different placements for the antennas, so the antenna arrangement is completely different to the original, so to say the fix is applied isn't correct. Presumably what they mean is they haven't repeated the same design fault with the newly designed back cover?

Regards

Phil

I would like to think that the mere fact HTC redesigned the antenna arrangement is already an antenna fix. We could only wait for reviews for now.
[HTC One X+] Hunt3r.j2:
I'm guessing that it's probably also going to have spacers on the motherboard to ensure that the back cover can't press down the antenna contacts, but there's no guarantees.

This might seem stupid, but would it be possible to have a rom that allows you to choose to have add some touchwiz interface onto an AOSP rom or vice versa? Like have a TW rom then go into some settings and enable the AOSP status bar and pulldown menu for example.

Maybe this has been done on other phones and some could be done through a different launcher, but figured I would ask. Thoughts?

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Exel:
I always thought it'd be cool to have a 'ROM Control' like Roman did in a lot of his ROMs, simple ones like, different battery views, add % next to battery (Samsung already added this), init.d tweaks, speed tweak settings, crt off animation enabler, lockscreen options, custom carrier label, etc.

I wish I knew how to do that, I'd go back to the TW ROM.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bfranklin1986:
Sounds like what you're talking about are mostly cosmetic things that can be done fairly easily by changing .png files in the systemui.apk, framework-res.apk, and twframework.apk. It's really as simple as copy and paste.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Exel:
Then you'd have to decompile systemui and framework-res with changes. That isn't exactly easy access.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bfranklin1986:
Not necessarily if you're just changing out .pngs.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] afbengochea:
+1 you could do it right from your phone using root explorer. Just unzip, switch pngs, rezip, and rename from zip to apk
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Darron614:
I don't think the frameworks are totally compatible like that. Seems like you're asking for force closes.

I know its easy to swap in the aosp messaging app or calendar or keyboard etc. by swapping your sec.apk files, but I don't mean apps. Like things such as the tablet style notification thing at the bottom or just other UI type stuff not just changing apps.

These are some bugs I found so far.

2. While charging if you touch the power button It will black out and Hangs up (Pull battery and restart)

3. Camera sometimes having issues. (camera not found) but most of the time works perfect.

4. Call quality Low (Like all CM builds)

Rest everything seems to be very smooth. Google Now works without any issues. :)

Guys, turn off the notifications. The touchkey driver I used is the stock samsung one which doesn't have the BLN (button lights notifications) which CM is looking for. Whenever you get a message, or email, or really anything that would trigger a blinking LED, it's gonna crash the phone cuz the driver doesn't know how to handle it.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] ktempleton:
He needs a log cat run during the screen rotation and during start up so he can see what's going on. I don't know how to do this yet I've been looking into it but don't really know where to start. Do you know how to do this
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dr4stic:
Another thing that would be nice, the output of dmesg.

Just a brief explanation of what these things are. Logcat is basically the general android system logs as it boots up and runs. The dmesg is the log specifically of kernel messages as it boots up. This often includes details on drivers and potential errors there. ADB = android debug bridge, a way to connect to android, push and pull files, get a shell on the system, etc...

Install ADB drivers: If you've installed the drivers necessary to use Odin with your phone, it should include Samsung's ADB drivers for the phone. So I don't think you need to worry about that.

Install ADB: Not great, but not horrible ADB install tutorial

As for the phone itself, ADB is automatically enabled within recovery. When the phone is booted up as, you know... a phone... you'll want to go into Settings -> Developer Options, find "Android Debugging" and make sure it's turned on. That will enable ADB on android.

Now, some sample ADB commands to make your lives easier...

Check to make sure ADB sees your device (you should do this whenever you connect your phone to your computer, just to make sure you won't run into any errors with the commands below):

adb devices

Grab the output of dmesg (two versions, see it or redirect to a file.. you pick):

adb shell dmesg

or

adb shell dmesg > C:\name-of-some-text-file.txt

Grab the output of logcat (two versions, see it or redirect to a file.. you pick):

adb logcat

or

adb logcat > C:\name-of-some-text-file.txt

* NOTE: This will continue to grab output until either the system reboots or you hit CTRL+C on your keyboard. If you're just looking for the most recent messages, let it run for a few seconds and then CTRL+C it out.

Get a Linux shell on the system:

adb shell

Restart local ADB server (sometimes necessary... if you KNOW your phone is connected and ADB stopped recognizing it):

adb kill-server

Thanks guys!
