[Motorola Droid RAZR] Thank Me Later:
I roll with the S3 and I think it kicks the crap out of anything else that's dual core processor. I use to have the Razr Maxx. It doesn't even compare. Only thing better on the Maxx is the battery life. So far the most I've seen out of the S3 battery is a tad over 6 hours of "screen on time" at 13 percent battery left. But that's with 4G off for the most part. My Verizon 3G is fast enough or else I'm connected to Wi-Fi.

The Note 2 looks nice if you don't mind the size. I'm not really a stylus person with my phone so I wouldn't get the Note 2 but it's all a preference.

There's no reason to go to the Maxx. You can get extended batteries for the S3 and most likely the Note 2 since they both have removable backs. The Razr HD is cool. The S3 does have occasional lag on the dual core variants, I can't lie about that but it's nothing compared to the lag I had on my previous Maxx. The lag on that Razr annoyed the crap out of me. I seen some reviews saying it's not much different on the Razr HD. Now if you have the S3 with the quad core processor, I assume it doesn't lag much at all but I can't really say since I've never played with one.

Why are you dreaming for the Razr HD? Besides a step up in battery it seems to be a step down from the GS3 in my opinion. I've read some people rag on the GS3 wireless radio not being good for them but I have no problems with mines. My wireless radio see's nothing less than I did with my Razr Maxx. The Wi-Fi range is better on the S3.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] prstorero:
The droid RAZR HD maxx scores much higher than the gs3 in quadrant (I know its kind of inconsistent but its something) and since there will most likely be a custom ROM on the device I doubt there would be much lag. I never see lag on my RAZR maxx and it scores relatively low on quadrant.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Thank Me Later:
I care more about actual day to day performance. Quadrant doesn't mean much to me. Not to knock it or anything I just don't really care much for it. I've had both so I can truly speak on both. There's less lag on the GS3 and the phone is much better overall to me. Obviously you can't compare battery life. Nothing beats the Maxx/Maxx HD stock battery. When it comes to extended batteries there are some bigger ones than 3,300 mAh for the S3.

You've never seen lag on the stock 211 ICS build for the Razr Maxx? That's pretty cool. With the lag issue I'm more referring to the stock builds of each phone. I'm not talking about custom roms or any over/under clocking.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Aylarth:
Thanks for your contribution guys!

I am using a lot of tethering on my phone, so I can create a hotspot for my wifi-only tablet. Thats why the battery is a big deal for me. Other than that, I am using the phone for calls, texts, and sometimes for photos, but I can live without the last one. My GS3 is the european version so yea, it has quad core processor and no lag so far, even though WANAM is cool, I've had some troubles with his rom and with every bigger sized roms too if its about lagging. With HyperLight/HyperGalaxy ROM I have no lag at all, so thats my daily driver atm.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Thank Me Later:
Why don't you just get extended batteries for when you do tethering? There's a good amount out there for the S3, at least in the USA there is. You should look up on ordering some if they got'em over there. I
[Motorola Droid RAZR] iolinux333:
Thanks for telling us how others sound to you. Could you comment on how you sound to others? My experience has been that Motorola phones have always had far superior microphones and compression algorithms so I sound much clearer to the person I'm talking to, whereas Samsung phones have been ****e in comparison.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Thank Me Later:
I sound fine to people I talk to. I never asked them to rank it like 1 - 10 but they say they can hear me good. There's nothing wrong with call quality or wireless radio on my S3. The 4G is actually faster on my S3 when I ran speed test app.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] iolinux333:
Is there any chance you can call into a voicemail (even you're own), make a recording of yourself speaking a few sentences with each phone, and see which one actually sounds more clear?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Thank Me Later:
I won't be doing this because I sold my Razr Maxx when I bought the S3. If you're this worried and don't take my word I don't think you should be considering making a phone switch.

Honestly I wasn't that impressed with the Razr speaker volumes, call quality was good, speaker phone sucked. The other person always had low volume on my Razr's end. The Motorola Photon on Sprint is older and behind in many departments but it kicks the Razr's a$$ when it comes to being a phone.

I won't say the S3 is the best as a phone but I see nothing less with my S3 than I did with my Razr far as wireless radio, call quality, speaker volume, ect ect.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] iolinux333:
Oh, I thought you still had both, oh well. My experience has been that when i compare outgoing voice quality of different phones, the difference is DRAMATIC. I picked the RAZR ten months ago based on voice quality, and while incoming was good, outgoing was light years better than any other phone i could get my hands on. The absolute worst by far was the SGS2, a garbled muffled mess. If you dig around the forums are filled with disgust over the SGS2 microphone, so naturally I'm curious whether Samsung decided to bother with improving the mic on the 3.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Thank Me Later:
It's a lot better than the S2 call quality. The very first smartphone I've ever had was a Samsung. I can't even remember the name it's been that long. It was a flip phone. It had a camera that took lousy pictures. To this date that phone has been the best I've ever came across when it came to call quality or speaker volumes. I've had many phones after it. This S3 will be my 4TH smartphone. Nothing even compares to that very first phone I had. These days they don't work on the "phone part" of it as much as they did back then. Which is terrible considering these are "phones" first and foremost before they act as a mini computer. So with all that said and my experience with phones I've actually owned, I won't say the S3 is the best for call quality but it's pretty good. Just as good as my previous Razr Maxx. Wireless Radio on the S3 wins over the Maxx in my experience where I live.

[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
No it's not normal.

Either you have a defective touch screen or keep touching the bottom right of the screen without realising it?
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
Are you referring to the notification drawer (the pop-up window with the date, time, connection, toggles, etc.)?

Have you checked your screen for dust enclosed under the glass, or other cruft/fatty smears? Very minor chance, but on other devices, it caused touch registration. I'd look for it primarily in the lower right section of the screen.

No dust? Tough cookie. On which ROM are you? If stock, factory reset would be my next option (if I'd get annoyed enough), and then check if it happens with a nearly 'naked' install. If custom, I'd go stock. If it happened again (multiple times), you might have a hardware issue.

Do you have the dock attached? Which launcher do you have? Do you have an swipe gesture associated somewhere with opening the notification drawer?
[Asus Transformer TF700] djnikko:
Stock ROM, but rooted.

Not unlocked

Yes dock is connected

Yes I'm referring to the toggles, date, time, power selection..

Stock launcher by Asus.

No swipe gestures applied.

I will try and clean screen tonight, I will also see if issue persist when I disconnect from dock. The dock is the tf201 one.

[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
Mhhhhhh... This doesn't bode too well. Give the screen a good wipe, and I hope you get lucky and the issue goes away all by itself. You might try and reinstall the stock ROM by the file method provided in the stickies (can be done with a locked bootloader). If that doesn't help, well... I can't think of anything else at the moment. I then wouldn't take the risk, so I'd return it. Sadly. Sadly, but surely.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Varekai:
I'm actually having the opposite problem as you, sometimes I can't open that notification area. I know when it's going to happen because where it normally says External Storage Inserted it's blank there, and I can't click it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] djnikko:
So I tested last night. Cleaned smudges and such. Seems as though the keyboard is the culprit. Hinges are loose. And now it puts pressure on lower right screen bottom. Thanks for everyone's help.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Whizzpopper:
This first post from me is going to be short. I welcome additional thoughts, of course. Sorry if this isn't the best place to drop this, but it's not a question and it's not anything in development!

First, an observation: the problem with 720p in CM10 is not bright light, it's the camera's ability to adapt to bright light from low light. In other words, the problem seems to be related to the light sensor. Although this is not completely new, what I noticed from playing around with LGCamera is that if I turn UP the video bitrate, the flickering is not as sever. The flickering will stop and stabilize when filming in consistent light. Any change in light quality will produce more sticking. This makes sense since 720p requires finer adjustments to light and dark than 420p. The other part of the equation is the h264 encoder. I'm guessing that certain values in the light sensor need to match up with the h264 encoder...

Second, I was playing around with these settings today: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=17791551&postcount=20 I haven't had enough time to verify what makes a difference and what doesn't. I believe that some settings have helped a bit. Also, I felt that changing the ISO to 800 in camera and then switching to video improved the video, but that could be totally imagined! Essentially, what we need is ISO800 for the vidcam... I think!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Whizzpopper:
Suggested fix that was here didn't work. I'm editing to see if I can correct the "Invalid User ID" error I keep getting on my XDA app. Started right after I went to correct this message.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] threi_:
if you think you have found a fix i'd suggest bringing it to the developer's attention, such as indeed posting this in the official thread.

Also your second post got chopped off lol
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Whizzpopper:
I'm just messing around right now. I don't think I've found a fix. A few things I've found: I can't find a way, using the included camera, to film above 25 fps. It doesn't matter what the settings are in media_profiles.xml, 25 is the cap. The cap should be a little above 30. I also can't force the camera to film above a bit rate of 6 Mbits/sec. I averaged around 8 Mbits on the stock camera and 10 in LG camera on GB. These settings will affect light responsiveness! Perhaps the oddest thing I've noticed is that the recording streams are inverted in JB. Everything I've filmed in GB has audio in stream 1 and video in stream 2. JB's streams are the other way around. EDIT: In fact, in GB 480p recordings use Stream 1 (or 0, depending on your player) for video and stream 2 for audio, but 720p recordings use Stream 1 for audio and Stream 2 for video. So, perhaps it's worth looking into the ways in which 720p recording is being "sent" to the codec.

In the process of sorting these things out, it would help if we could find out what the AVC h263 and MPEG4 profiles and levels were in GB. I'm not completely convinced that they are configured optimally for our phone.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Whizzpopper:
[To Forum Mod: Is it possible to move this thread elsewhere? Possibly the Q&A section?]

I've spent more time on this than I intended today, so this will be brief(ish). I don't know if I've found a fix, but I may have discovered a good lead. This is definitely for people who can put together and test out kernel changes faster and more accurately than I can! The other day I thought I'd found something of use, a v4l2 driver modification for Crespo. I sent my findings over to Scotthartbti. The modification may still be of use, but there was an unanswered question: why is vidioc_dqbuf unable to to clear the buffer queue? If it's the preview screen size, the fix I discovered wouldn't repair everything. SO, when I read this morning that the kernel is actually based on a Rogers ROM with limited capabilities, I decided to run another diff on the JB kernel and the GB kernel from Samsung. What I discovered was that certain drivers s3c_bc.c and s3c_bc.h are absent from the JB kernel. These two files (?) contain information that sets screen and buffer size that I couldn't find replicated anywhere in the JB kernel. I don't think it's not there... so, in the process of trying to find out why these files might not be in the JB kernel, I discovered something better: the android exynos 3.4 Git. And surprise surprise! What is it that devs are fixing over there? Quite a few issues to do with s3c buffer size, particularly in s3c-fb, and the problem of the system ignoring preview frame size!

I suspect that some lingering bugs are being addressed here: https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/exynos.git/+/android-exynos-3.4

Hi [MENTION=4577908]Whizzpopper[/MENTION],

I was searching on Google for infuse 4g 720p recording on JB custom ROMs and found your thread,

Have you found anything that help us on resolving this issue afterwards ?

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Whizzpopper:
Indeed, I did leave the Infuse. There are so many variables, it's hard to say. The problem could be in the codec or in the settings used to interact with the codec (the media_profiles.xml or media_codecs.xml) or it could be in the kernel as Scott Hart used to suspect (don't know what he thinks now!). As you know, Samsung did not provide an honest release of the source for the Infuse.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] yogi.306:
Thanks

Thank you for your updates,

Now Scott made a lot of improvement and fixed all most all the bugs for the kernel we are using in infuse 4g,

the only 720p recording and HDMi are not resolved yet, and i guess its not possible due to samasung not provided the source.

Thanks for your efforts on infuse.

Just got a replacement phone from Sprint and have activated it.

Wanted to do a simple HTCDev.com unlock for the ability to do a few things that require root..

From being powered off, I hold down the Down Volume and them press and hold the Power button but that doesn't work... The three icons (buttonless buttons) flash a number of times but no matter how long I hold down those two buttons, the phone won't boot into the bootloader.

And YES, FASTBOOT is unchecked ....

Any ideas? I've rooted a number of phones and it's usually the 'hold down the down volume + power' until it boots into the bootloader...

Not this one...

HELP!

Turn off fastboot in settings and if you still can't, use adb tools or sdk and type adb reboot bootloader

As far as I know, cwm backs up both user apps and system apps with their data so if u restore it from there, the old sytem apps and data might conflict with the new one...so I would advise against it.

Use cwm and completely restore ur old Rom, make a backup usng tb and then flash ur new Rom... Safest way!

First of all I have made this kernel for my device the US version of the galaxy note , and there was lots of interest from skyrocket users to have an OC kernel .. So I made one for them and then I received many pms within the hour of release that you guys out here would sure like to have one to....

this will work on anything AOSP based (cm aokp pa etc ) built after October 14th .

this zip was first created by H0tw1r3 then modded by instigatorX so you guys coudl flash skyrocket kernel on your devices .

this has been confirmed to work on your device already and doesnt need the 'rotation fix'
