Is there a reason why Netflix will not snap to HD on the GS3? Tried uninstalling, reinstalling, wifi, lte....nothing. Looks like old realplayer video...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] r_3:
no one else has this issue?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] n1nj4dude:
just tested it out, my quality is fine. Maybe weak internet or watching a video thats not HD
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] r_3:
Very weird. Same video on my n7 is HD same networks. Home and work WiFi. Completely stock on both
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] GSLEON3:
1. you must sign into NetFlix & select the "High" quality video settings in your account settings page.

2. NetFlix app looks at the mode that the device is running in, both workspace resolution & app resolution. I set mine to 720px at workspace & 720px for the app resolution at 213DPI using the Paranoid Android rom's Paranoid Settings selections in settings & I get HD video for HD content.

3. NetFlix as well as Amazon servers perform a speed test to determine the best video type to stream. If you are below 15mbps it sometimes will kick over to SD. I usually am at about 40Mbps both via LTE & my home WiFi & I get HD streams there, but at the office it drops down to SD.

Amazon VOD will also work using the stock CM browser. It will also stream HD content if it is setup correctly.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] r_3:
Yeah. I had already set high quality for Netflix. WiFi at home is 20/5 and lte at work is 64/16. Anyone else completely stock with this?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ikjadoon:
"Snap to HD" = what does that mean? Play in HD?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] r_3:
When you start Netflix it usually starts in sd and progresses or "snaps" to hd on all of my other devices I have owned. This one just seems to have a lower resolution and lots of video artifacts while playing. Comparing Netflix between my gs3, ps3, xb360, and Wii I would say that it is equal to or just below the Wii which does not do hd at all
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] r_3:
And nexus 7 is much clearer
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ikjadoon:
Oh, like it transitions from SD to HD? Mine, totally stock (UCALH9) from AT&T, seems to start out very blocky, transitions in a few seconds to "SD," and then finally ends on HD about 30-40 seconds in.

Check the attached screenies...it's working here. Do you have any data compression apps installed?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] r_3:
If I do they came on the phone and I am unaware if them
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ikjadoon:
Unsure, then. I mean, it could be a butt-load of things unique to your phone: apps you have, any power saving functions on, etc. Or even some messed up QoS on your router. I had a laggy GS3 and slowly kept uninstalling apps until I found it: mine was a bad widget that needed to be reloaded.

The foolproof would be a reset. Or, if you have another GS3, to compare it. The N7 might well have better WiFi/LTE antennas or something.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Medlock87:
This is exactly opposite of my problem with Netflix.. I can't seem to get it OFF of HD and so I simply cannot use it or it just goes through too much data for my monthly plan. Looks gorgeous though!

Hi!

Sometimes when I update app from market (including my own app that works ok when updated manually) I get another icon for the same program, and the old one stops working (with not installed error) but stays there until I reset device. Of course it is not easily reproduced so I can't say what triggers that behaviour, but suspect that could have something with apps installed on sdcard.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derapao:
hello, I have an Arc S LT18i with official 4.1.B.0.587 rom and locked bootloader.

I would like to switch to a custom ROM (e.g. Jelly Sandwich), that is supposed to be pre-rooted and doesn't require an unlocked bootloader.

Which is the fastest way to do the switch? Do I have to root my current rom first or this is not necessary?

It is my undestanding that to install a custom rom I need to install a recovery (CWM) first. If this is true, are there ftf files that include a recovery?

thank you very much :)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Master of Bisaster:
Slow, but fast :)

FTF files with included cwm aren't existing, forget it

To get CWM on your stock rom in order to install jellysandwich you have to get root access

To get root access you have to flash .562 kernel, you need flashtool for this, and then root with doomlords ics rooting toolkit

After you have CWM installed via x-parts, an app you can find in play store, you can put jellysandwich on your sdcard and install it from there

I recommend for a locked bootlocker this way in CWM:

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

format cache + data + system (in mounts and storage)

wipe dalvik cache

then install rom

If you've got problems, write it in the thread
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derapao:
wow, that was a quick answer! ;)

I'll try to do that and tell you how it goes. Just for information, would it be easier if I unlock the bootloader first? I'm going to unlock it eventually anyway.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Master of Bisaster:
I've no xperience with unlocking bootloader, so i can't tell you advantages of a bl unlocked rooting process, excuse me...
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derapao:
I really appreciate your help, but unfortunately I couldn't manage to make any rom work, I tried jelly sandwich and ultimate hd and always got stuck in a bootloop.

The biggest problem is that every time I had to reinstall full .587 fw, then .562 kernel, then re-root, then restore .587 kernel, then re-install x-parts... it took hours just to get back to "normal".

I surrended and unlocked the bootloader. This opened a whole new world.

In a fraction of the time I was able to install a kernel with cwm, and succesfully test several custom rom afterwards... not only they worked, but I could flash a new one in minutes, without worrying about root etc.

Just to share my experience...

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Maazyazdani:
Hi there,

I have a samsung galaxy S3 (rooted) and have recently purchased OTG cable. The problem is that when I connect s3 with Hitachi Touro (mobile USB 3.0) through OTG cable hard drive does appear in files. I have installed paragon NTFS and stickmount apps but it doesn't seem to connect even though a message keeps appearing "usb connector is connected". Hard drive gives a clicking sound when it is connected with S3 but works perfectly with the computer.

Does anyone know solution to this?

Thanks and regards
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
I've heard of some people having problems when connected to a usb 3.0 port on their computer and have to connect to a 2.0 port instead. Maybe related?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] elesbb:
USB 3.0 I don't think is supported. What I've seen people do is use a 2.0 cable extension with their 3.0 device. As this downgrades it to 2.0 because they should be compatible with 2.0 just won't have the insane speeds as 3.0. Or you can get a USB hub and plug it in that way.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] splatdotsplat:
Sounds like the Hard Drive is not getting enough power (The clicking), do you have it plugged into an external power supply?

*.*
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Maazyazdani:
Thanks for all the replies. Hard drive is not connected to power supply as it is portable.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Yatyas:
Splatdotsplat is correct. That clicking sound are the heads resetting to the park position. This usually happens when drives are not getting enough power. When the drive spins up it peaks its power consumption and cuts out because there is not enough so the heads reset. Portable or not that is the issue. I have seen this happen with some portable drives on computers (especially larger capacity). A lot of times the solution can be as simple as using a shorter cable. Sometimes it doesn't work.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] teshgnex:
as stated above, the only way to run external hdd's of any kind is to be sure they're powered, even some thumbdrives will draw more power than the phone can provide and you'll notice your batt life take a steep dive (as did my Galaxy Nexus w/otg on an HP 16gb thumbdrive)

power the drive through a powered hub and you're good to go!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] elesbb:
This is why i recommended using a USB powered HUB as the HUB will give enough power to the external hard drive.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jonny68:
Having the same issue myself, otg cable with Samsung portable 500GB external HDD and stickmount pro works fine with my Nexus 7,but won't work with my Galaxy even though it recognises the HDD, so do you think a USB hub would be the solution, and can anyone recommend one

Thanks
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jonny68:
Anyone?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kemaro30:
i wish there are people who are willing to investigate/try this thing out, it would be awesome to make a portable hard drive works on our S3..
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] esqueue:
Just to throw in some info. I do agree about the hdd not getting enough power as the cause for the clicking. I have a 500gb hitachi drive that does that if a long usb cable is used. The drive didn't come with a power adapter but instead came with a short usb cable that had two heads. allowing it to draw power from two ports. It also had a port for an adaptor though.

When testing with my Samsung Galaxy sIII It doesn't work unless I have the hd running via external power or have the second usb connector on the cable connected to a charging usb cable. Both options charge the phone while the hd is connected to the phone.

The usb cable with the double ports actually works well for me. I have the first port connected to the otg cable that I made and the second connection connected to a usb extender that is connected to my 2A tablet charger. That way I can charge at the same time.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] suhrm:
Hi the problem i basically power as in the amount of current your device requires, i know that the standard specifications of the original 2.0 interface is about max 500mA and 5Vdc per port, in some cases the maximum output current is even smaller due to hardware restrictions, this can lead to difficulties when trying to power something like an external hard drive. Therefore a long cable will also give a problem due to the resistance of the material, because the required voltage level is not high enough.

I do not know if there is a spec sheet containing information about the output capabilities of the usb port, if there is one i recommend using that to match an external hard drives, if you do not want to use an external power supply.

Edit: you could also use an external power bank/battery pack but i seems a bit bulky
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] elesbb:
Sure go out and buy me one and i'll test all day..

USB OTG works out of the box for low power devices. I havent seen/read anything stating USB 3.0 works on the S3. I have a 1TB hard drive my brother gave me, its not the newer ones that are ssd so it has a power adapter with it and it works perfectly with my S3. Going to be using it in a few minutes to back up my internal SD.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] KurrentUser:
Is there even a driver and an app to do such a thing? As I see it the USB port is configured as an external storage device to connect to a computer not the other way around. What you are doing is connecting two storage devices together. There's no way I would ever connect anything to my phones USB port that requires power. If I were to, it would be through a powered hub.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] maronzet:
Hi Eles

I have read that you connected your S3 with external powered HDD. I bought yesterday the genuine samsung OTG cable and it is working only with memory stick and joystick controller. Don't know why it is not working with my external powered HDD - 500 GB WD. Any ideea ? My S3 is not rooted.

Thanks,

M.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Maggard:
No, nobody is going to have a recommendation for a powered USB hub.

It's a trivial, generic, piece of kit you buy nearly anywhere for under US$10 (unless you're a complete sucker.) Just make sure whatever you get *includes* a power supply.

Get one in the shape of a person, or a kitty cat, or a Tardis, whatever thrills you.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DsturbD:
that's not quite accurate. when you plug your phone into your PC, the drivers that you installed will see your phone as a usb device (or media device) and allow you to use your phone as such

an OTG (on-the-go) cable allows you to connect a storage device to your phone, such as a thumb drive or external hard drive (powered or not) and then your phone acts like your PC and uses that device as storage
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] giovannibgr:
I can confirm that in my case forcing my ADATA HV610 1 TB disk to USB 2.0 mode worked. The trick is to use a standard micro-USB cable (e.g. the one that comes with your charger) instead of the standard cable that comes with the HDD.

More detail:

The common USB 3 cable which comes with most new HDDs uses USB 3.0 Micro-B plug which, in practice, is a micro-USB with a "half-micro-USB" next to it. The part most people don't know is that you can use a common micro-USB cable (as the one from your charger) to connect your HDD to your PC (or other device) with the cost of loss of USB 3.0 compatibility. Which, in our case, is what we need, as this switch makes the HDD less power-hungry.

Post a comment if it works for other hard drives too (I think WD also use Micro-B connectors for their USB 3.0 Passports)

[HTC Sensation] FiddleGoose:
Hello everyone, so I recently finally got blocked from tethering by T-Mobile after a long time of sucking it out of them by being rooted and on a custom ROM like all of us here.

The way they know you are tethering on their network is by the User Agent that is sent to them by your desktop/laptop computer browser. When they see that a regular browser is accessing their network, that's when you get the infamous T-Mobile Hotspot Screen we all hate.

I've recently discovered a Firefox Add-On called User Agent Switcher found here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/user-agent-switcher/?src=search

Download it and install it to Firefox. Then download this (right click, "Save as") http://techpatterns.com/downloads/firefox/useragentswitcher.xml

Go to Tools>User Agent>Edit User Agents (a window pops up) click on "Import.." and add the .xml file you just downloaded.

Then pick a User Agent that resembles the Sensation webkit and BAM! Free tethering for all of us.

I'm using it right now ;)

NOTE: If you use a Googlebot User Agent, you will be able to tether and always load up full webpages instead of mobile versions. - Thanks to The Archangel and chadwick3nser for discovering this!
[HTC Sensation] The Archangel:
