[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bengali548:
hey guys

im in the pickering-scarborough area and my reception sucks. my wifi drops a lot and my signal is weak

i would have returned it but i got this phone second hand and it was originally telus but i unlocked it

when im downtown i get pretty good reception but it still depends on the area that im in.

when i had my iphone 3g i had good reception at home but now i dont

does anyone have any suggestions on apps to help with signal reception. i dont care about wifi, just reception.

I have fresh network but its not that great.

also, are other galaxy s3 users in the gta experiencing reception issues?

try factory default might help
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bengali548:
factory default what?

im currently running cm10 nightlies (also any suggestions on better roms are appreciated)

i just updated my modem to the rogers basband one. i dont know which one it was before but im testing it out now.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] howlingmoon12:
So are you on Rogers or Telus? Because with Rogers, running stock LH1, inside my house I get 3bars on 4G if lucky, my room is the only place at home where I get LTE if at all.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] M4Y0U:
LH1 for Telus is your best bet... Others modems don't connect... Well it depends.. Won't connect with the I747 without the LH1 modem here in Quebec.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bengali548:
im on a rogers plan with a telus phone but i unlocked the phone which is why i can use it on my rogers plan

right now im on the mvllh1 modem. do you guys have suggestions of a different modem to use given my area?

Oddly enough, he's in the Scarborough area too. Could be a combination of phone + network.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] XyrusX:
Look into changing your settings under Mobile Network. Network Mode should be LTE/GSM/WCDMA. Also check your APN's for Rogers LTE. Lastly check your Phone Information by dialing *#*#4636#*#*, select Phone Information and change the setting to LTE/GSM auto (PRL).

I was having similar issues when i first installed CM10. It seemed to work after i played around with these settings. I also live in Scarborough and almost always have LTE.

Cheers
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bengali548:
Thanks. This did help a little bit. I get 3 bars in my room now but when im at my friends house it still struggles between 0 and 3 bars but majority of time it sits at 2 bars

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Nixon Kasasi:
My phone, (Samsung GT S 5570) Just died a few days ago while I was installing some software. The software was Clockwork Mod. To install this, I used an application from Google Play called -Rom Manager. After installing the app, I clicked something like flash clockwork mod, and a list was brought to me, from which I was to select my phone model, but unfortunately my wasn't among the list. So, I picked the first Model type and proceeded. The clockwork Mod was installed correctly and so I went to the next attempt and that was to Partition my SD Card. Consequently, my phone went off and I thought that it would restart on itself but....! I tried to restart it on my own but the LCD didn't even turn on. What do I do? To make it worse, the phone won't even go into recovery mode. The phone was already rooted, so no warranty. I suppose the phone is Bricked. Someone please help.

My email address, nixonkasasi@gmail.com

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] thewadegeek:
Your phone is bricked and it's because you were trying to install CWM for a device that was probably not even remotely close to yours. Also wrong section I would suggest posting in this section xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1311 and seeing if they might be able to help you.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] tietganFTW:
NEVER install CWM via rom manager it just isn't compatible with our device and 99.99% of people brick their phones because of it. And yes, your phone is probably bricked, hard brick. What u can do now is to try a usb jig method which is available in the guide in my sig.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] yackovsky:
You're totally out of luck on this one mate, now you have a very nice paper weight :D if you still have a valid warranty, just bring the brick to the service center and they'll fix it for you, but never ever mention flashing, clockwork mod or anything related :) it happened while updating with kies, that's it :D and guide for making usb jig provided by tietganFTW works, I made one for myself already and tested it on mini, so there's nothing to worry about on this one :D
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] tietganFTW:
So if u have the same situation as him, u can fix it via a usb jig?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] yackovsky:
I heard in few places that mini bricked by cwm is repairable with jig, and I made one and tested it, and it worked, so yeah, probably :D
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] tietganFTW:
Aight thanks I have a friend whose phone is bricked. IDK where to find a USB jig though...

Make one yourself dude, you posted a guide about it some time ago, isn't it? btw. link in your sig ain't working ;)

The problem is that Google Chrome (but not Chromium, the basis, and almost an exact replica of Chrome) comes with it's own Flash plugin. I don't know if that stops it from using other plugins, but im guessing so, unless you edit the plugin path.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lanwarrior:
Since upgrading to ICS, I noticed that my AT&T Note battery has been suffering. Using BetterBatteryStats, I noticed that there is a process that caused "Partial Wakelock" for hours: com.coliris.picasa.contentprovider.

Based on my research (there's not much infor BTW), it has to do with Picasa syncing with the Gallery app. This was documented in Google Bug list (http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=24145) but that's it.

I wonder if anyone have any experiences on this and how to fix this issue. I DO want Picasa sync on my phone, but not at the expense of the battery life.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
I'm not familiar with the Picasa app, but is there anything in Settings that allows you to set the sync interval, to perhaps Daily?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lanwarrior:
Picasa is the web-based photo sharing application, part of the Google products like GMail, etc.

The "Gallery" application in AT&T Note ICS have a built-in feature to sync pictures in the phone to your Picasa account and vice versa. Under Settings --> Accounts and Sync you will see "Sync to Picasa", among others like "Sync Gmail", etc.

So no, I cannot reduce the number of syncing. For now I am disabling this completely just to see what would happen, but wondering if anyone came across this..or even use Picasa. ;)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Dalmus:
A lot of the ROM's advertise "no ads" in their descriptions.

I looked at the hosts file on my phone that came with FreeGS, and indeed, games.espn.go.com is blocked.

Take a look at yours... Its in the system/etc folder. If its blocked in yours, use a simple text editor to remove that line from the hosts file and then reboot.

You will need to be rooted in order to make changes to the hosts file, I believe, but if you re on a ROM, you are already rooted. :)

Hi,

This will sound a little strange, but I have what I think is a pre-release DInc off of eBay. I didn't know it at the time.

The good news is, it is "invisible" to the Verizon database, so they don't require me to have a data plan.

(the phone shows up as "null" for it's ID).

The bad news is, Sense is not terribly stable, and it will not Update!

The question is - how can I flash update it?

Looking over the threads, I'm supposed to *start* with 2.3, not 2.2.

I don't want to brick this wonderful phone... any ideas?

Thanks, Girt

[Nexus 7 General] b00mb00mchuck:
the thing that stands out in my mind

The way these companies justify their pricing is hilarious... one quote in the article states

Just seems rediculous for anyone to believe that 8GB more storage would cost $50 ... and with the cost of memory per GB nowadays it would be a no brainer to up it to 64GB and 96GB just to stomp out the competition...

I guess Google was thinking this would be a more wireless cloud based device but consumers are showing that we don't wanna go that way ... would make sense to meet the demand and just flip everybody out with memory numbers that are huge.... cheap way to set this tablet apart from the rest (besides the other things it's already got going)
[Nexus 7 General] simacca:
Got my 16gb n7 a few weeks ago for £180 UK pounds + £15 store credit + Transformers movie. Otg cable gives me unlimited storage if I need it.

I don't think I would be able to get the 32gb model for this price when it comes out, so I am not worried.
[Nexus 7 General] ExploreMN:
Actually, I remember reading an article about this pricing that said the 8gb didn't provide any real room for profit and the 16gb version is more so that resellers could actually make money on the device.

At first this seemed true as I couldn't find a reseller that even sold the 8gb, but now most seem to, so perhaps the build cost went down.

As for a 32gb coming out for the same price as the 16gb now...I doubt it. This thing hasn't even been out for a year. As for the 8gb going to $99...no way. Not unless Google is doing a fire sale and dumping Android like HP with WebOS.

More realistic would be something like $279/229/179 pricing for 32/16/8gb versions...
