The first ROM I installed after rooting was Liquid Smooth Jelly Bean. I absolutely loved it. Things were unbelievably smooth, responsive, and streamlined. I have since tried Paranoid Kangdroid and it was high quality but a bit more dense than the simplicity I appreciate about Liquid Smooth.

I have flashed AOKP, CM10, codefire and I love Ultimatum 1.4. I am getting phenomenal battery life. I am including a screen shot. This is a stock based rom and I am also running ktoonsez latest touchwiz kernel(10/28).

LiquidSmooth!

Started with CM10 because that's all I knew was out there. Since then jumped to Liquid RC3, RC5, and yesterday RC7. For my use there isn't a whole lot of difference, but RC7 now has ktweaker for those who like to undervolt.

All in all after messing w/ only a couple ROMs I don't know if I'll ever want to go back to bloated stock...

Running LiquidSmooth JB 4.2.1 beta 2. Excellent rom and amazingly stable for a beta. So far has everything I need. Moved from Tasks AOKP which was also good but LiqudSmooth adds extra functionality that I wanted (app launching from unlock slider, performance tweaking, charging LED, etc). So far equally stable and fast.

I dropped my phone and dented the frame right below the volume down button. I had a diztronic tpu case and it didn't help.

What's a good site to get replacement parts?

Based on some videos that I've seen that take apart the phone it looks like you have to take apart the digitizer and glass... Is this correct?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ReapersDeath:
Honestly Id go to ebay and buy a for parts or repair GS3. You would beable to take out all the insides of that and put yours in. Although make sure your screens in perfect condition as well as the case because the screen is a pain to transfer and the case would be the main purpose of all that. Id be happy that all the components aren't sodered XD

I recently updated my phone to jelly bean and I seem to have lost the ability to use voice to text. The microphone is no longer there or the Dragon dictation button.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
First you are using a leaked rom which will have bugs. Which rom are you using? It was probably removed as bloat.

Second and just fyi, its not Dragon Dictation being used. Its Vlingo.

Have you gone into language and input settings and set it up to use google indtead. There are usually two options but if you are on XquiziT svoice is removed and you have to use google.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] adracup:
Yea I'm using the leaked Rom, not sure which one. I checked the settings and it is setup from what I can tell.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] adracup:
Also I downloaded Swype beta, Swype did not come pre installed on the s3, Samsung decided to make a copy or some crap
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
In language and input its Google Voice Typing you probably want. Make sure its checked.

Also i just was wondering if you are using the Flex T9 keyboard from Nuance? I think theres a setting in that keyboard you have set to use google for voice input. May be the same with swype.

Itll really help a lot if you know what rom, if any you are running. If XquiziT did you use the kitchen? What choices did you pick during install?

Have you thought about reflashing the rom? Did you wipe cache, dalvik, data?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] AlonB.:
A word of advice to the the people using TiBu to restore apps onto jellybean:

I've seen many people having trouble restoring with TiBu especially coming from ICS. Even when I was still using my S2 LTE.

Give Rom Toolbox Pro a try. You can easily backup your apps and data as a batch, and restoring them is a piece of cake. Never had any problems.

Although it is considered better practice to restore apps without their data, as it could potentially cause instability issues due to bad data. I've always restored the data as well and, in my experience, had no issues in particular. Even when the data was originally ICS based.

Just throwing it out there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jimmer411:
Isn't rom manager a collection of several apps in one? The back up interface looks identical to tibu but requires too much digging to get to.

They are both good tools but it seems like tibu is more flexible with app backups and is updated much more often.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] khaytsus:
Zero problem restoring apps from GB, ICS, or JB (upwards each time) from TiBu here, on both my Galaxy Note and Nexus 7. Why N7? I moved TiBu data from another device there and installed it from there.

All fine. Normal caveats apply.. Must reboot for services/running apps to start, must recreate accounts, anything that needs to run as a service sometimes might even need to be manually ran, etc.. None of this is ICS/JB/TiBu specific.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jpoirier587:
Just don't restore system info between roms and there should never be a problem
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] slaydog:
I've always used "My Backup Pro" since the Dell Streak, as apparently TiBu didn't play well with it. I never seem to have the problems people report with TiBu.

I always restore APK's first, reboot, then restore data to a FEW apps that I know won't be problematic...

I think you can use "My Backup Root" to try it free...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] scottx .:
While I own both the paid version of tibu and rtp I prefer using tibu for backups. It was made to do just that and it's the best at it IMO.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
TB is by far the best backup app out there. The problem is not with TB but with the user who doesn't know how to use it correctly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] scottx .:
Most of the problems people report are due to user error. If people would rtfm and learn they would have a much better experience.

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidhelp8:
Hi,

Apologies for my ignorance ...but would like to a know something basic about Unlock feature & then also needed to ask a specific question:

Basic Doubts:

1) Developer Edition Razr M :

If I buy this Developer Edition from US , can I use only in US only (or is it specifically Verizon) or can I use it any other country as well.

(In other words is it SIM / Network blocked).

2) What is the difference between Unlocked version & rooted device.

Is it that If I unlock the phone , does it mean rooted.

In some other words the related question is --> If I buy the Razr M Dev Edition , then do I need some sort of a password to unlock it or can I use it straight away like a Retail Razr M Phone.(even without unlocking).

3) What is the difference between Razr M Retail without plan & Razr M Developer Edition.

The reason I am asking this Q is because if we go to the Motorola US site for purchasing the Razr M we have 2 options :

one Retail version & one Dev Edition version.

However if in the retail version link we further select buy we are provided with options like (i) With plan - 99 $ & (ii) Without plan - 549 $

Also alternatively if we go to the Dev Edition buying link , we have one option for 549$.

Now the question is --> Are the options of Retail version without plan - 549 $ (as mentioned in (ii) above) & the option of Dev Edition also for 549 $ . really the same .

If not what would be the difference.

Specific question:

4) If I gift this phone to another friend of mine in another country i.e not US (& which has 3G Network & not 4G LTE)

Can he use the Razr M in that other country.

Sorry for this lengthy content ..But would request if you can please guide me with these queries..

Thanks in advance for the same....

Regards,

AT
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freak4dell:
1. I don't know if it is SIM unlocked already, or if you would need to call Verizon or Motorola. I believe it is already SIM unlocked, but like I said, I'm not sure. Verizon isn't very friendly about it, though, so if you do have to call them to get the code, they might not give it to you if you haven't been a customer for 90 days. With my Droid Pro, I just purchased the unlock code online, since I'm not a Verizon customer. The M does have GSM radios, though, so it can be used overseas, as long as it is SIM unlocked.

2. A SIM unlock means that the GSM radios in your phone are unlocked for use on any network with any SIM card. What people are usually referring to when they say they are unlocking the Dev Edition phone is a bootloader unlock. This is completely different from a SIM unlock. Unlocking the bootloader gives access to partitions on the phone that are normally restricted. This allows root access, further customization, etc. Unlocking the bootloader doesn't automatically give you root access, but it's simply a matter of flashing the proper files to get root. This is a lot easier with an unlocked bootloader, because you don't have to go hunting for exploits. However, this doesn't have anything to do with the SIM unlock, and you don't need the bootloader to be unlocked to have a SIM unlock. As for the password, see my answer to #1.

3. The difference between the retail Droid RAZR M and the Developer Edition Droid RAZR M is that the bootloader can be unlocked on the Developer Edition. You will be able to SIM unlock both of them. If you buy it for $99, you are signing a contract with Verizon. Breaking that contract costs $350, and you have to wait 1 month to break it without having to return the phone. You will basically be at the $549 price if you go that route. It's easier to just buy it for the full price without signing the contract. Aside from the ability to unlock the bootloader, the $549 retail option and the $549 Developer Edition option are the exact same (the Dev one says Developer Edition the back of the phone, too).

4. As long as it is SIM unlocked, yes, he will be able to use it (provided whatever country he is in uses the frequency bands that are supported by the phone...there are a handful of countries that use the 1700MHz frequency, which the M does not support).

To be absolutely honest, the most headache free way to get this phone to use overseas is probably to just buy the RAZR i. It's the same phone, but with an Intel processor. Also, the RAZR M will be sold in Australia in November, and that is the exact same phone as the Droid RAZR M, minus the CDMA radios.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidhelp8:
Thanks for your detailed reply...

I actually wanted the Razr M ..due to its Snapdragon S4 processor...over the Intel processor Razr i...

What I can more conclude from your reply ...which seems sense to me is that:

to buy the Razr M (without plan) or the Dev Edition at the 549$ price & gift it to my friend abroad , so that he can use it since it should have the SIM unlocked ...

Just wanted to confirm if my understanding is right for the above...would request if it is possible for you to comment on this...

(BTW his country supports the Network frequency for the phone...GSM 900/1800 )

So I guess he should have no issues in operating the phone...

Thanks again for your assistance...

AT.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freak4dell:
Like I said, I cannot confirm if it comes SIM unlocked out of the box or not. I believe it is, but I do not own one, and I have not tested it myself, so I cannot confirm.

In this thread, (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=31879273) we found that the phone did read SIM cards from other networks. However, since the test was done using a T-Mobile US SIM card, calls couldn't be made, so we don't know for sure if it would work right away with an overseas SIM card. I hope someone that has traveled overseas with this phone will chime in, but so far, nobody has spoken up.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidhelp8:
Hi.

Thanks ..once again for the quick response...also thanks for the link ...

So I guess I shall wait for any response / comment for the overseas usage (i.e. whether the overseas SIM is unblocked from factory for the Razr M)..

But anyways thanks for all your responses...really appreciate..

Yeah I'm using Razr M in sweden sent from USA, and it works well however when everytime i restart the phone it says " your sim card is from an unknown source" . But it works eventually. I think Rarz i is a better solution for oversea using since there can be no Boat-apps from verizon ( super stupid and worthless oversea) .. or at least those apps on razr i are more international usable..
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunilnm09:
can i buy a verizon phone for 99$ and then unlock it some how???

as u said the cost of the razr m is 549$ without the contract and there is certainly a large difference in 99$ and 549$.

i would like to know if i purchase a phone with contract and then since the carrier network does not work in my country, i can get a unlockmotorola websites etc. for the unlock codes???

let me know if itz actually possible this way because sparing another 40$ for the unlock codes is way better than buying a 549$ phone.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freak4dell:
You won't need unlock codes.

But, I already explained how buying it for $99 and then breaking the contract isn't cost effective. Also, how are you going to buy a contract phone from a country you don't live in in the first place?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yy2013:
I have searched many of the SIM unlocking service companies offered, but they do not sell any sim unlock codes for razr m (let it be XT905, XT907 or XT902).

Just bought a used Infuse, already have it rooted and running Paranoid Android Jellybean, but I'm having trouble unlocking it. All of my other phones were unlocked automatically when I flashed a custom ROM, but this doesn't seem to be the case for the Infuse. The phone won't detect my T-Mobile SIM at all, even to say "Invalid SIM" etc. Now, I know one of the first suggestions will be "reflash" but at this point I've tried 2 custom ICS ROMs, unofficial CM9, Zeus, and have flashed PA 3 times, and none of them are detecting my SIM or prompting me for the unlock code, which I've already obtained. Is there any way to force the prompt for unlock code, or some other way to enter the code, some way to do it through Odin, or using the PC...just looking for any way I can get it unlocked.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] ApexPredatorBoids:
That's news to me. I don't think I've ever flashed a ROM that automatically SIM unlocked the phone as well.

It seems very odd that it wouldn't prompt you for the unlock code as soon as you put a foreign SIM card in it. Have you tried an actual AT&T SIM card in it just to make sure that there's not a hardware issue with the SIM card reader? Also, it may be worth going all the way back to stock and seeing if it gives the prompt.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Gilligan87:
Like I said, I already have the unlock code. I just can't get the phone to prompt me for it. I read that thread, it's actually the one I used to obtain the code, and didn't see anything that helped with my particular dilemma.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mrhaddan:
I'm on the latest PA build and I was able to unlock just fine. Is it reading an AT&T sim card? First off make sure that the sim card you are using is actually activated. I just got a straight talk sim card that has not been activated and when put into my phone I was not prompted for the unlock code. I used my sister's T-Mobile sim card and it prompted for it. Make sure you swap them while the phone is powered off as well.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] ApexPredatorBoids:
Unless you bought Straight Talk's T-Mobile BYOP SIM card, you wouldn't be prompted for an unlock code. Straight Talk's AT&T based SIM cards will work right off the bat, with an AT&T branded phone. When I used the hex editor method to find my unlock code, I used an old T-Mo SIM card that hadn't been active for well over a year, and I was prompted for the code as soon as I booted the phone up.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mrhaddan:
It is an at&t compatible sim card, so maybe that is why it didn't prompt, I just thought it was because it wasn't activated.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Gilligan87:
Still baffled on this, if anyone knows how to force the unlock request screen, or some other way to unlock the phone, I would be very appreciative. Will donate for proper answer.
