The italian version loads perfectly.. If others can see it, then it must be me, but I can't understand what's the problem..

Hi people,

I'm looking for suggestions for a launcher that is good for both BATTERY LIFE and CUSTOMIZATION.

I've been using GO LAUNCHER EX for a long time now and found it really good, but there seems to be LOADS of you out there that use NOVA instead and i was wondering why this was... would you say Nova is better for battery life and customization over Go Launcher??

Thanks in advance...

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] BackfireNL:
I use NOVA because it is a tweaked version of the stock Jelly Bean launcher. Wich is super smooth and has lot's of options to costumise it.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] JJEgan:
Why not post the question once more .

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] AndyGalaxy:

+1 to Nova, absolutely love it.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] rab1412000:
Nova
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] 九千.:
I recommend Shake(free) and TSF(paid). They aren't the lightest nor the fastest, but they have features that make your S3 impressive without too much customization effort.

Shake has its own Shake market for downloading themes, icons and their own live wallpapers. Most of them are very cute (and sexy ;) ). It is a Korea app, but you don't need to know Korean to use the launcher and Shake market. (Don't confuse it with other "Shake Launcher". I provide the link to this app below so that you won't get it wrong)

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.minigate.app.home

TSF is a launcher with rich features, with many impressive themes, widget, transition and desktop's options. I particularly love that rotatable icons. The built-in sliderbar can partially replace Button Savior (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smart.swkey), without needing to root.

I cannot say if these features worths the money you spend, though.

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] SponsOne:
I have tried all of the big ones and have found that NOVA is the best. I'm not sure how it is with JB but if you have ICE then it's butter

TW Launcher? :P hahaha :highfive:
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] komsa:
Apex is the momma for all launcher's
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Aldonski:
I recently did a test on Samsung's Jelly Bean.

Smoothest of the ics/jb launcher bunch(nova apex and holo) is Holo HD then Apex then Nova. But still not perfect. Holo which is the smoothest of the three occasionally hitches. especially in widgets if you go really fast. other than that it is a very good launcher

Smoothest of all launchers to my surprise is ADW EX ( with 4d drawer transparent) , looks great also, reminds me of gb but a lot smoother. Smooth as samsung stock launcher.

I didnt even try go launcher..
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] pogri:
I used to use Go Launcher Pro. A lot of features but apex is a lot faster.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] yayourt:
I use nova and i find it smooth, fast with many many customization, i can't make without now !
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] spamtrash:
do you mean: better for you, or according to This small guide, which precise where to put questions?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] portnoy.vitaly:
I would recommend HOLO HD. Very light, customizable, with nice effects.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mylakhana:
ADW or TSF

Use ADWLauncher EX or TSF Shell 1.7.5

(both are paid but you can get them for free from the blackmart ;) )

Don't confuse ADWLauncher EX with ADW.Launcher

TSF Shell is a bit heavy but is surely the best launcher for s3. I am using it since a month and I love it more everyday!

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kristers42:
Hello. I have HTC Desire HD with one very big problem -

About a year ago I rooted the device, but one day something gone wrong. To turn on it, I need to try several times, before it goes to HTC logo. When phone is turned on, all applications are "force closing". If I try very much, I can launch a game, but it will empty the battery in approximately an hour. I tried factory reset and super wipe - none of them works, because they doesn't delete anything. Phone has "Android Revolution" ROM.

What's happened and what I can do, to fix the problem?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glevitan:
Do a full wipe + format system + format data and then flash the rom again. Also try performing a fix permissions in recovery....
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gizmoe:
If formatting and wipe scripts don't delete anything then the onboard emmc has possibly gone bad.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kristers42:
Gizmoe, how I can fix the onboard emmc? I have to change motherboard?

glevitan, thanks for advice. :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glevitan:
Yes. If emmc chip is corrupted only solution is a MOBO replacement. Sorry pal;
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kristers42:
Where I can buy a new motherboard? :(
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gizmoe:
There is some online retailers that are reasonably priced but I don't remember the names. The hard part is taking the phone apart and putting it back together without breaking something else, especially the screen/ touch pad combo. There are videos and tutorials on how to do it though.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jufofu:
I had MIUI and performed a hard reset. Now I can't boot into MIUI and CM7, and as far as I understand I need to flash stock firmware to start everything from scratch. But how can I get to flashing stock firmware if I can't connect it in USB debugging mode?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bravouno:
So rsd is not detecting your phone? Do you see a white notification light when you connect it to your PC? If you see the light, and rsd doesn't detect I think all you have to do is hit the power button once and then the computer should connect.

From my Bauer seed in minecraft
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thekguy:
You can flash via cwm if boot menu is working...
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jufofu:
Yes, there is a white notification light the same moment I plug it to my PC, then it turns on and tries to boot. But RSD doesn't see it.

I've tried flashing MIUI and CM7 via CWM, but the phone doesn't boot. I believe I'm doing it wrong. So I wanted to flash stock with RSD and try again.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slon11:
when you see white light ,try push and keep power button and vol- and vol+ ,i made like this and rds lite saw my phone
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jufofu:
Doesn't seem to work for me.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thekguy:
Can you enter the bootloader mode at all? Its volume down and power button combination which is required

Also, before doing that try data wipe from cwm
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jufofu:
The Bootmenu? I enter it by pressing volume down when the blue led is flashing.

I've made a dozen data wipes, cache wipes and dalvik cache wipes. None of them helped.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jufofu:
Wow. I've chosen "2nd init + adb" boot mode instead of "2nd init", and loaded to CM7!

Will investigate it. But not today, too tired anyway.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jufofu:
Okay, so I've found how to boot it. I just need to connect it to computer and choose "2nd init + adb" booting. Am I right to suppose that the best thing to do now is flashing it with stock firmware via RSD?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jufofu:
Now I've got another problem: 2ndInit installation fails. I've tried 1.4.2 (hangs instantly after pressing the "Install 2ndInit Recovery" button) and 2.0 (hangs after downloading the stable bootmenu).

A few minutes later it closes the "Downloading" window and asks if superuser is installed (it is, I've already rooted the phone with SuperOneClick). So I see the problem is that it can't get root permissions. How can I fix it?

Edit: okay, rebooting the phone worked.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] wmblalock:
I must say, I love my T989 except for the GPS. It is by far the best phone I have ever owned.

Problem is, I use GPS daily for my job. The GPS just always seems to be problematic in that while driving, using Google Navigation, the GPS signal randomly drops out. I will be driving, and miss a turn because the GPS seemingly lost signal, then after 30-90 seconds, it regains signal and the Navigation catches up. The entire time I am driving, the blue circle around the blue arrow in google navigation seems pretty big. This circle indicates how accurate the GPS is and it seems I never get really good accuracy. It seems like I just get low GPS locking ability and thus it's not always exactly accurate and frequently drops for a 30-90 seconds.

I have tried Jedi Knight ROM based on 4.0.4 and it was the worst, nearly unusable, took forever to lock and dropped a lot.

I am now using Jedi Mind Trick based on 4.0.3 and it seems to lock decently fast, but still never gets entirely accurate like my HTC phones all did, and it still drops for 30-90 seconds often, making it very hard to rely on for Navigation.

Many times I have flashed AGPS.zip and that helps lock faster, but the GPS still drops often and never seems to get reliably accurate.

I know this fixes it for many, and has made Jedi Mind Trick usable for me, but still not very dependable.

Does this phone just have a crappy GPS Receiver?

I haven't tried roms before 4.0.3, did GPS work better on earlier versions, or before ICS?

Is there any roms I should try that might work better with GPS Navigation?

Anyone using GPS daily without any drops at all? If so, what ROM?

Should I try different Radios or something?

- Mike
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TheLastSidekick:
aGPS patch works wonders. Which version of it are you using?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] wmblalock:
Google Specific 3.1 No SSL

That was the only thing that got my GPS usable.

It now locks fast, but just doesn't seem to ever have a strong signal and is very prone to dropping out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sirdowski:
Try downloading the "GPS status" app from the play store. Hit menu>tools>manage A-GPS> and Download.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Brandon168:
I had similar problems with jmt and other ROMs, even after trying several of the GPS fixes.

I've been using cm10 nightly 10/12 build now and GPS is perfect, nearly instant locks and no drops during navigation.

The only downside I've found is battery life, its not horrible but its no jmt either. Expect 12-16 hour battery life.

To me, jellybean offers so much that I'm willing to forgive battery life for the first time.

Hope his helps
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Alarmmy:
I dont know why some of you have issue with GPS. The issue is not from the rom. I think your phone might be in a bad batch or your GPS files are not set up correctly.

For me, GPS on our phone is very great. It locks fast and never loses signal. The accuracy is within 20 feet.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RushAOZ:
No, it is the ROM. With every ROM flash GPS files get over written but never cleaned up. I constantly have to flash the aGPS fix to get GPS back. That goes for every other android phone I've owned too.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Sergiosaa:
I also use the GPS almost daily to track my runs with Endomondo application, and sometimes specially when running slow the GPS gets fixed to a location and will not update until 15-30 seconds after, maybe the same happens to you when driving in the city and you are very slow.

There is a feature called "GPS Static Navigation" that Samsung disabled by default in some of their phones, basically on the ones using a SirfIV GPS Chipset. The problem here is that our phone (SGH-T989) does not us that type of GPS Chip(set).

I've been trying to find a way to know the status of the GPS Static Navigation in our phone, but I haven't found anything about it just the info got from pdadb.net which is the following;

Satellite-Navigation

Built-in;GPS_module:	Supported

GPS:Protocol:	NMEA 0183

GPS_Antenna:	Internal antenna

Complementary-GPS;Services:	Assisted GPS, QuickGPS, Geotagging, Simultaneous GPS

Navigation:Chip(set):	Qualcomm gpsOne

Since this Chip(set) works with Assisted GPS, trying GPS Status application from Google Market and going to Menu / Tools / Manage A-GPS state / Download; it will help you a little bit since it will download the A-GPS XTRA Data (works better and faster if you do it while using Wi-Fi) that will help GPS to lock faster and get accurate positioning while on the road, it will last some days but it is not a definitive solution.

I still researching on knowing more about how "GPS Static Navigation" works in our phone, I even opened a question discussion about it @ http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1940294

Please let me know if some of you know more about this,

Thanks, and hope this give you a bit more insights about it!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Alarmmy:
That's weird. I have flashed jedi, AOKP, CM, and i never had problem with GPS. I also own Galaxy S 4G, which has a crappy GPS due to the hardware failure. No Rom or app can fix that. That's why i think it is not Rom issue.

Was stock rom GPS any good? Try stock first and go from there to pinpoint issue

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] budbear1:
I agree that it's possibly your GPS at fault. I've tried multiple ROMs (using Jedi Mind Trick X now) and have always very fast GPS lock and great accuracy when using ICS ROMs.

Not necessarily, the OG Note was apparently $750 retail price on AT&T.

Also, walmart just leaked some on contract prices for T-Mo and it looks to be $299 w/ contract
[Galaxy Note II General] ericshmerick:
I gave up and got the white from Newegg for $649 and Fatwallet cashback (~4 extra percent off). If the AT&T version isn't screwed all to hell, I'll sell the international for a small loss and move on. Easy. Not interested in waiting until mid November.
[Galaxy Note II General] Illuminatiii_X:
If you are looking to get the Note 2 on T-Mobile and are worried about having to pay the full price. Call a tmo representative and talk about their 2 tier early upgrading plans. It renews your contract but you still got a much larger price off.
[Galaxy Note II General] achusaysblessyou:
I'm on the Value plan, so... no dice for me :p. But for those of you on a Classic plan, this is the way to go. Although if you want, you can say you want to talk to retentions and try to get the "Android Data plan" which is an old 5GB plan for $15 a line.

I have had a read through this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1695238

Now I feel reasonably happy about going ahead and flashing my phone but there is something that concerns me. Doing so is apparently going to void my warranty, so I can restore the phone to it's stock state if I need to use the warranty service right. The guide I linked touches on that and I will dig around for further info on how to do so (Unless anyone knows of a great guide for this which they can link to save me the hassle...). It's just that I am completely unsure whether SamMobile has the stock firmware version for my phone which I would need to do so :/ I was hoping someone could help me figure this out!?

I bought my phone new and unlocked (can use any network as far as I'm aware). I live and use my phone in the UK but it was sent from Hong Kong. The box the phone came in had a sticker that said "EU" on it but the charger that came with the phone only had a 2 pin plug. I'm pretty sure the charger that comes with the EU package is meant to be compatible with UK plug sockets also which use 3 pins? Also the default language for the phone when I first switched it on was Cantonese (native language of Hong Kong) as far as I could tell. Either way the model number is: GT-19300.

So I'm looking on this SamMobile site and I'm a bit confused as to what info about my phone it is that I need to check for this firmware? I don't know which number/s it is that I need to match up to find the firmware. On that site is has 2 columns labelled "PDA" and "CSC". I don't know what those are labelled as when I read them from my phone? Cheers :)
