[Samsung Infuse 4G] brian Marshall:
I think Google will only chase this to an extent. Openness has it's appeal, and I think androids source code will always be open, even though 3rd parties like amazon will put pressure on it. I like what I'm hearing about google's new nexus strategy. I'd really prefer stock android of any manufacturer skin at this point. I have a nexus 7 and didn't even bother to root it.

4.2 or whatever they are calling it looks like manufactuers skins will only be a theme which can be easily removed, and of course after ICS you can disable any crapware you don't use.

While it might close android a bit, google needs to do something so that we are not always wading through manufacturer/carrier finger pointing for updates.

Android does have a weakness in apps. iOS still has more, but the quantity is not so much the problem as quality. Earlier this year I think Google finally laid down some solid guidelines for best practices for developers, but still many developers don't follow them. The menu button on my N7 for example. sometimes it's up at the top, sometimes it's down below with the soft keys.

Apple is obviously far more strict. Even so it has not seemed to hinder development at all. There's always jailbreak, and if I were to ever buy an iphone i'd do that ASAP if for nothing else other than widgets.

For Samsung I do really think they've dialed in their product line much better. Having one phone instead of a bunch of custom phones for carriers is a big deal. They no longer seem to take the shotgun approach. There's a big distinction between the note and the GS3, and they seem to be committed to releasing a new version once a year which avoids the option anxiety/paradox of choice we've had in the past. I'd guess that would make updates easier and more streamlined.

It also doesn't leave us feeling burned when you buy a brand new phone and 2 months later the newer better version is on the shelf. I suppose that's my one gripe about the infuse. It was a big deal for about two months. Samsung made promises and broke them almost immediately.

I do still love the display and form factor though. Although when i first got it i actually almost felt self conscious answering phone calls on it because it was so huge. Just a year later it's average if not slightly below average for phone size though.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] SteveCampsOut:
I got my Infuse in January after washing my previous non-smart phone in the wash. I've been addicted to Android ever since! :victory:
[Samsung Infuse 4G] lukas_s:
Got my Infuse in August of 2011. For 4 years previous to that, I was using an LG Chocolate dumb phone on Verizon. I was sick of Verizon's prices, and knew I wanted to go Android but refused to get a Motorola (have had nothing but poor experiences with them in the past) so I went to the AT&T store to play with their phones. Ended up walking out with an Infuse that day.

Since then, my time with the Infuse has been sorta bittersweet. I can't see myself ever purchasing anything but a Samsung Android (hey! I actually like Touchwiz), but if I could do it over again I think I would've gone for the Galaxy S2. While GB ROMs were great for my phone, the jump to ICS and now JB has presented some annoying problems. Most notably is the Android OS battery drain bug, which always seems to attack my phone when I most need it on the go. It never happens at home on Wifi, but it ALWAYS seems to happen when I switch over to data when I'm leaving my house. Needing your phone for a 2 hour drive, and having it die in 45 minutes is NOT cool.

Problem is, I enjoy the added functionality of JB, so going back to GB isn't really an option. I don't necessary share the same opinion as other people that JB runs flawlessly on our 512MB of RAM. While it is smooth 99% of the time, those times when it isn't smooth seem to really cripple the phone. And, like I said before, the Android OS drain bug is really annoying. I like to reboot my phone every morning, and I never know if the drain bug is going to present itself after reboot. It's like Russian roulette.

So, while my experience with my Infuse has been pretty good, I definitely won't be sad to move on from it when the time is right. If Google can offer the Nexus 4 unlocked at a decent price, that might be where I go, unless I can find a Note 2 or S3 at a decent price.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] westshotgun:
Infuse is a great phone. It was my first android phone, and I really had no issues. I've been flashing lots of roms but I'm running Zeus 5.2 for couple of months now because It has best battery life plus It is error-free (No SOD, No dropping signal, mms etc). I like ICS and JB but I really want everything to work perfectly. And I already have Samsung Galaxy tab 2 running CM10...

One real problem I had with infuse... is that if you see other phones less than 4.5" I have problems lolzz.

I still have about 8 months before my 2 year contract is up so I'm still gonna enjoy it for a while.

I'm thinking of changing it to whatever they have the best (probably Note 2 or S 4).
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mizz lia:
I got my infuse about 2 weeks after it came out i wanted it because i was moving away from blackberry. I didnt like iphones and wanted an android because of all the things you can do. It was a 4.5 inch screen at the time the first screen that big and i just wanted it. my experience has been good at fist i had to get use to the size of the phone and it being touch now om bored i hate it and i want a new phone. My next phone will be the galaxy note 2 i was thinking about the galaxy s3 but changed my mind bigger screen quad and lte yay.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] picklnows:
Two reasons why i bought samsung infuse:

1) 4,5 in. amazing Super Amoled Plus display

2) 8 px camera

If I'm going to change my smartphone I will be buy Samsung S II.

Why not Samsung S III? It's to big for me.)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] slicingtaco:
c'mon dude its only 0.3" bigger...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] qkster:
old joke:

..for some, the extra .3" could mean the difference between, "Oh" ...and... "Ahhhhhhhhh"

:D
[Samsung Infuse 4G] picklnows:
Man, the difference in size between Infuse and S II subtle.

Although the difference between them 0.2 ".

S III it's to big....

Sorry for bad english.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] FIREONHIGH:
the infuse will back up my note2 on tmob. it was a damn good phone!well still is realy:D,but 5gbs and 100 mins for 30$ is good enough for me,just need to root and use an app for the wifi calling.now i just need wendsday to get here!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] cesman:
At the time, I was looking at the Atrix, Infuse and Inspire. I originally got the Inspire but didn't care for the sound quality so, I got the Infuse. The screen was what attracted me to the Infuse. I would have like my next phone to have been a Nexus device. But with the lack of an SD slot, I don't think it will be the Nexus 4. Yes, Google probably wants folks to use their cloud services but the lack of an SD simply doesn't make sense to me.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] akapoor98:
The Infuse was handed down to me so it was not really my choice.

I initially hated it with the stock Froyo. It was too unstable. OS would get corrupted and I would have to reflash. As a result I would lose all my bookmarks and contacts. I would have to add these back manually. The bluetooth was also unusable.

Now I am on JB and it is a completely different phone. I realized it was the OS that was bad and not the phone. Everything works great: Phone, WiFi, music, GPS and bluetooth. Some people have issues with battery drain with 3G. I don't have a data plan and don't need one. I am near a WiFi connection for most of my day. I like the fact that I can sync my contacts and bookmarks to my google account.

I am not sure of my next phone. It would be a dual core GSM phone (not CDMA). Other than that I have not given it much thought.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tsjoklat:
I want to mod my stock boot.img for init.d support, but I'm not sure what "base" and "pagesize" parameters to use with mkbootimg. Can anyone help me out?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imnuts:
See here lines 37 and 38 :)
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tsjoklat:
Thanks! So, these settings are specific to the kernel. I see that for CM kernel, I would use:

BOARD_KERNEL_PAGESIZE := 4096

BOARD_KERNEL_BASE := 0x40000000

I was also trying to modify the stock boot.img for my device (p3110) and I came across a tool called "unmkbootimg" found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1877807

When I use this new tool to extract the stock boot.img, I get this:

mkbootimg --kernel kernel.gz --ramdisk initramfs.cpio.gz --base 0x80000000 --cmdline 'console=ttyO2,115200n8 mem=1024M androidboot.console=ttyO2 vram=20M omapfb.vram=0:16M androidboot.carrier=wifi' -o new_boot.img

When I use the tool to extract the CM10 boot.img, I get this:

mkbootimg --kernel kernel.gz --ramdisk initramfs.cpio.gz --base 0x40000000 --pagesize 4096 -o new_boot.img

cool.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kovacs83:
I really want a black dock with buttons in the same style as those softkey menu-buttons that come with ICS on devices like Galaxy Nexus and other phones that doesn't have real buttons.

Anywhere I can find those? I've seen blue, white, grey and with mirror effect so it would be nice if there are more than just those three that u often see.

Sent my phone to Samsung after flashing a rom for international. i have a scratch on the phone and im wondering if they are going to fix it... Dont know what the messages mean sooo here are the messages....

was found upon initial inspection. however, this may or may not relate to the failure symptoms.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zexco:
You actually sent your phone in for a scratch? That better be a pretty serious scratch because now they want you to pay money to replace the whole damn panel.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dntesinfrno:
From what i'm seeing they are considering your device out of warranty (OOW), no doubt due to your bad flash. The touchpanel and standard charge + lcd charge comments lead me to believe that they are replacing atleast the top glass, if not the entire SAMOLED and as best i can figure from the last 2 lines whoever received the package chose not to make the decision of whether the damage to the touchpanel was caused in shipping. Most likely this determination will be made by the tech who does the actual work on the phone. I would expect you will have a 100% like new device when you receive it back, however much that may run you is the part i would be worried about :confused:.

I do believe he sent it in for repair because he borked the bootloader flashing an incorrect ROM, as per the first sentence of the post.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] amzi:
I hope you're right bro!

Have any of you sent a phone to samsung and had this ooW message too? because in the price detail area it says this...

ITEM	OLD PRICE	NEW PRICE

Standard Repair Fee	$0.00	$0.00

LCD Repair Fee	$0.00	$0.00

Sub Total	$0.00	$0.00

Tax	$0.00	$0.00

Total Cost	$0.00	$0.00

All Total Cost

so are they fixing everything for free or what??
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dntesinfrno:
Im guessing that was on the same document....having seen that i'm certainly stumped now as well. I can only think of 2 possibilities, either they are doing the work under warranty even though the notes clearly state otherwise OR they just haven't added any invoices to your work order. Only time will tell, but i wouldn't be too concerned about the phone itself, they'll be sure to get it back to you good as new one way or another.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] amzi:
what the ****k they tryna make me pay $170
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Orsteezy:
strong iker

DAMN!!!! Samsung is crazy... Tell them you wont pay and let them return it to you. You can unbrick it yourself anyway, with the help of XDA of course.. Btw my GPS doesn't work and I bought the phone full price, but I won't send it to Samsung cuz i'm scared they will charge me like they are charging you.. Bastards!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xijar:
I got my phone fixed for a broken screen and got the same marks on my ticket. Oow is out of warranty and it set me back $180. My price showed as $0 like yours but after a few transfers on Samsung support line someone told me what I needed to pay. In you're case you just need a jtag and mobiletechvideos can do it for $60. Oh, and you can tell them to send you back your broken phone for free.

Not saying you should do this, and it is dishonest, but you can reset you're flash counter then Odin to stock and return the device(just make sure its the right stock) and they will never know you flashed a rom, and with no physical damage its obviously hardware failure.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dntesinfrno:
Flashing an international rom borks the bootloader which is most likely going to need a JTAG to repair, although this can be done cheaper as xijar mentions above its not a DIY fix.

If the problem with the GPS is in fact truly a hardware defect, removing any custom software to avoid a denial of warranty is completely honest.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] amzi:
Im gonna argue with theme and say its their update that ****ed my phone up which that cost is 70 dollars and for the scratch ill probably pay for that cuz it looks ugly .. Or if they buy my lie i could probably say keep the scratch and just yell at theme for their software update

idk man this $170 is bs
[Nook Touch Accessories] rdunning0823:
The right-angle OTG cable that connects to the Nook's USB port is a fragile connection. I added two velcro "soft side" to the front and back of the Nook on it's bottom. Then I wrapped a piece of velcro "hard side" from the back, around the OTG connector and secured to the front to support the connector and hold it in place. It's not perfect, but it's a simple solution to the problem of the cable eventually breaking the solder connectors from the micro usb connector to the main board.
[Nook Touch Accessories] KEYofR:
Otg?
[Nook Touch Accessories] andjohn:
OTG means On The Go. It's a type of USB connection.
[Nook Touch Accessories] Renate:
Mmm, if I have your concept correct, wouldn't it be difficult to avoid blocking the "n" button?

How about filing a small notch in the top plate to allow a Velcro strip to exit between the top plate and the back.

You could permanently attach a small strip internally.

You could have it flapping loose and stick to a glued-on Velcro patch on the back.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] silverghozt:
anyone have any thoughts here? why doesn't winamp see the music on my GS3 SD card?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Maybe because its mounted as MTP? Try using sgs3 easy ums. It'll mount your ext sdcard as mass storage. Otherwise, not sure.

I found the bluetooth car kit is not syncing the call logs (missed, outgoing, and incoming call list) with my phone, unless I use a sense interface.

I've tried the following combination:

1) Pure AOKP - NO BLUETOOTH SYNC

2) CM9 (bad battery life OT) and - NO BLUETOOTH SYNC

3) Sense based with stripped sense (HyperNOSense) - NO BLUETOOTH SYNC

4) ARHD (6.8.0) OK

5) ARHD 6.7.2 OK

6) InsertCoin OK SYnc but I had some bluetooth pairing issue

7) Elegancia ROM Stock 3.6 - OK

8) Elegancia ROM Sense 4 - OK

9) MiuiAndroid - NO BLUETOOTH SYNC (I've also opened a ticket there but I've received no answer)

10) mEMBER Choice - NO BLUETOOTH SYNC

11) MIUI v4- NO BLUETOOTH SYNC

12) CM10 (JB 4.1.2) - NO BLUETOOTH SYNC

13) JBMIUI (JB 4.1.2) based on CM10 -NO BLUETOOTH SYNC

I hate Sense Interface but i really need call list in car. Do you have any suggestion?

Update...

Ok, I've installed other many ROMs in the last couple of weeks and I can say the following:

14) Bruce ROM (CM X) is now BT working with my car

15) Latest two releases of MIUI (up to 12.11.2) don't have BT fully working on my phone

16) Elegancia 4.1 is fully functional (only problem the sense is note really stable)

17) mEMBER Choice is now JB based on bruce. WORKING FINE

18) Paranoid Android is working fine (bad battery and bad tablet mode)

The one that I like the most is still MIUI, does anybody have similar issues?
