[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stan.s:
Yes, I do. I know for a fact that that iphone customers are the vast majority of the customer base, have been for years now, historically 20 Iphones are sold for every other phone combined. In the last quarter with three months of Android sales with great models like the HTC and GS3, they still sold 5x as many Iphones and the new model was only available for one month.

In addition att tweaks the network and the build.prop in Android to insure that the iphone outperforms other devices (so long as there is capacity). There are known cases where android phones were miss-identified to the network as to their speed capacity. Iphones don't have the new pat apn and using it on a LTE apple device won't get you a network connection.

Simply put ATT doesn’t really care about android phones and only sells them to satisfy a niche market and to fill out price points. They don't have much pull with Apple for bloatware or the timing of updates. The gs3 l9 firmware patch removed 2.4/5ghz switch shows that they want to reduce customers calling to the call center and any confusion people had about the bad wifi performance of the gs3 where one of the fixes was to not scan both bands.

Look at the reduced pricing for the Android phones across the board, they want to move them out. The Sony TL will be released in a couple weeks for $99, already less than the ion was at release. Ion was free at Sony's stores and websites in the last weeks. BB has been selling gs3 for $99; the TL doesn’t stand a chance.

ATT likes to pee into android firmware claiming that it doesn't meet the network standards. Every att branded android firmware update has been delayed by this excuse. Serious bugs, they will fix, it's bad publicity, updated firmware? They rather not, if they don't have to, and the longer they can string it out, the more likely you will upgrade your phone.

It's been reported that they have already gone through 3 firmware betas.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] crystalstylez:
Calm down. Lol. I don't know what you are talking about. I get great/excellent network performance out of my gs3. I pull 30+ on LTE easily. Soo many conspiracy theories.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] supertrekie:
Interesting points, but it seems odd that they would continue to get so many exclusive android devices if they didn't really care about the market or keep that market happy. (galaxy Note, original SGS2, and now HTC one x+ just off the top of my head)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ikjadoon:
While stan.s seems to be pushing the theory farther than most, I am glad his theory doesn't include "AT&T is updating their bloatware, blah, blah, blah."

I recently realized that AT&T already released the Galaxy Note II, which comes with Jelly Bean and includes the same

three

teensy bloatware apps: AT&T Messages, AT&T Hotspot, and AT&T Navigator. They've

all

been updated for Jelly Bean already.

Something network related seems plausible and that's what the AT&T reps indicated ("a strain on the network"); in fact, they explicitly noted that Sprint's network was much smaller, so the rollout came quicker.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] elementaldragon:
Stan: Of course they sold a f*ck-ton of iPhones when the iPhone 5 came out. One word. SHEEP! should look up Conan's spoof of the new iPad Mini advertisement... basically sums it all up. They may have sold a buttload of iPhone 5's at launch, but how much you want to bet that the vast majority of those people throwing money at Apple for no reason whatsoever were people who were already using iPhone 4/4S's? You do know that if you're using an iPhone, especially if you buy one at launch, when the next one comes out, you can upgrade without an early termination fee, right? Still get the full discount to get the latest iPhone for $200.

And really? You seriously believe that they only sell Android phones to "fill a niche market"? Wow. I didn't know that the phones with the most market share (i.e. most used mobile OS) were a "niche". Last i checked... the rapidly growing popularity of Android and Apple's loss of market share was practically the reason behind Apple trying to patent lawsuit their competition into the dirt, and the reason why US Patent Office is seemingly starting to root through Apple's patents.

And the phone prices don't drop because of "lack of interest", or whatever you seem to be trying to blame it on. They drop because they CAN! The price of the GS3 probably dropped because of not only the iPhone 5's launch (in order to try to draw even more people over to Android), but because they were also releasing more phones... notably the Galaxy Note 2. Apple doesn't drop the price of their devices because A) They're greedy as all getup,B) because they only release one phone a year, and C) because they know that whatever the price, their dedicated buy-til-i-die followers will eat it up like candy. Why else do you think they feel that they can release a 7.9" tablet for $350, and charge another $130 just to throw a mobile network chip in it?

Instead of bickering between each other about I don't even know what why don't we att customers band together and get a petition going or something in a positive direction...jeez!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] corythug:
Guys... This thread isn't about I phone vs GSIII... I believe there is a dedicated sticky for such things.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stan.s:
Exclusive phones attract hardware geeks which don't need much hand holding and probably violate warranty, anyway. Besides, it's easy for att to get gsm phones exclusive, most oems make more gsm phones and att represents the largest gsm phone market in the usa.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] JeRrYFaR:
I could honestly care less about the iPhone5 or other Android phones. All I know (like most people) is that Samsung started rolling out updates in other countries and when they finally hit America, Sprint gets them first.

For me it's more of a jealousy thing. I just want JB already. Knowing ATT's track record w/ firmware updates, I would say mid November at the earliest is when us lucky ATT folk will get the update.

I was running CM10 back in the day when it was not yet officially hosted by the CM team and I I went back to stock since there were a couple issues with the video recorder and other things. I see now that CM10 is officially being hosted by the CM team but they are still nightly, but I still would like to give it another go around. I was just wondering if there what are the major issues with the ROM right now (if any)?

The first posts don't really tell much except "it's a major work in progress" and the official change log might as well be gibberish to me, and I'm definitely not about to go through all 500+ pages, so if someone would give me a brief summary of what is/isn't working it would be much appreciated!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ethantarheels123:
Its definitely daily driver ready. Just some wake locks making it not have as good battery life as sense. But everything else works great. The build bot has been broken since 10/12 so when the next official nightly comes out, it should have a bunch of new things... Maybe new kernel?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] brob925:
Sweet, I might just have to flash it again since I usually have a charger handy with me so battery life isn't a huge a concern. I'm sort of confused by what you mean about the next official nightly... I thought nightlys were released every... well night?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ComposMentis:
The night lies have been down because some changes were made to the code upstream that causes the Evita build to fail. They're working on the kernel fixes to get the night lies to compile again but apparently its very involved.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] omario8484:
There was an experimental one posted today
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] DvineLord:
my wifi doesn't crap out on the experimental nightly which was my only issue with 10/12
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] WarRaven:
One should always read at min the last 10 pages of a thread of a Rom you might flash, an really it's expected of anyone.

Just a heads up dont know if anyone else is having this problem.

I rooted my 2.2 with the new 2.2 root instructions and downloaded the latest (10/25:experimental[cm-10-20121025-EXPERIMENTAL-evita.zip ]) cm10 build, everything works great, even wifi, except MOBILE data. I'm on straight talk, and man im getting slow speeds, nothing changed to APN, i think its a radio problem. anyone got any suggestions? I attached the radio link, which radio should i flash?

Friends,

Having issues with flashing a custom rom to just rooted HTC One X 2.20 (ATT). First Android phone for me, got it a week ago, and first run at any and all of these issues (just switched from iPhone, but still doing all of this using a Macbook Air). Here's the spread:

Unlock went fine, no issues.

Installed TWRP, DID NOT INSTALL SUPERUSER.

Managed to choke and wipe OS (along with caches, sdcard). Fastboot and adb work. I have full access to TWRP, however I cannot mount /sd to computer (Mac simply notes, when mounting, that the device is unreadable).

I managed to push both the rom I was hoping to install (aokp_evita_jb_build-4.zip), and gapps to sdcard with ADB, however neither file would show in TWRP's file manager (I placed them in the root dir of the phone). I attempted to run the ROM via fastboot to no avail. I did push the boot.img as directed.

As I did not install SuperUser when I was supposed to, I attempted to install the superuser.apk with ADB after the fact, with the resulting error stopping me in my tracks: /sbin/sh: pm: not found. The only resolution to this issue I could find did not seem to apply to my situation.

Are the lack of permissions granted by SuperUser the reason the rom and gapp .zip files do not appear in TWRP file manager? Can/should I continue to attempt installing the superuser.apk file? After digging through all of these godawful help requests (mine included), can/should I attempt to lock the bootloader and flash RUU? What am I missing that is painfully obvious to those with real experience in this mess?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
Check the settings in TWRP. You should have everything mounted as writeable. Root files may not show up otherwise.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] emp1re07:
TWRP Settings does not appear to contain an options relating to this: Zip file sig. verification/Force MD5 check/Use rm -rf/ Skip MD5 generation/Enable MD5 verification/Ignore image size errors/Simulate actions for theme testing

Tried to use ADB sideload to load the ROM, didn't work.

I've continued searching through threads to find a situation similar to mine, no luck.

EDIT: Rebooted a couple of time, retried pushing gapps-jb-20120726-signed.zip and the aokp rom mentioned above. They now appear under /sdcard

Tried to install both .zip files, and was met with a FAIL for the following reasons: E: Unable to mount '/sdcard' and E: Unable to mount storege

And as always No mirrors !
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Apologies, I didnt see the extra files you linked at the end.....

I used this on the NEO, great to see it here for the T
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Till-Kruspe:
But this is even better... ;)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] ThilinaC:
this one is slightly modified :p

things like 6x4 app drawer and support any ics/jb rom,not just stock sony rom
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] charlatan01:
Yeah, I was gonna say, this is different, albeit slightly. Thanks, using this now on the new release of the Generic firmware.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] jader13254:
Thanks Mate :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] mitsosoft:
Can you fix/modify another one with 5x4 app drawer? I'm missing the letters from the last row in FXP! :D
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Since flashing this, every time i restart the phone the dalvik cache gets cleared and the applications are optimised at boot making hte boot very slow.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] ThilinaC:
strange,positions are fixed not to happen this

if you have already installed this mod or anything regarding Xperia home mod then clear app of Xperia home app(settings\app\all apps\xperia home)

:eek: you sure its caused by this?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
It has never happened before and as soon as rebooted after flashing this it started. I thought the first time was OK, but it has done it 5 times since. I have fixed permissiosn and that has not helped.

I am on stock rom with adv kernel v3.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Psy1208:
I also have the Problem with the Text in the last line :(

Im on the new new firmware 7.0.A.3.195 and had cleared the app data.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] mitsosoft:
Already did that but still the letters of the icons from the last row are not 100% visible.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] charlatan01:
I too see this each time the phone boots. Not a huge deal, but it makes boot take longer. Additionally, I also see the words cut off on the bottom row of icons in the app drawer. Could it be because of the page markers at the top somehow?

Thanks again
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] CerealD:
Strange thing for me: tried installing this manually on my SXS with rooted .50 ICS... but nothing changed... no preferences options etc... but instead i got the same Android optimization bug every time i boot

EDIT: OK, got it to work, i somehow had to uninstall updates for home.apk from the settings menu... even though i had replaced the home.apk i somehow got a newer version number...

But the android optimization bug is still there... but only occured after i replaced the permissions and framework files...

EDIT 2: Replaced the included permission- and framework files with the files from stock .452 and the optimization bug is gone... so the error is there...

and the Mod is working without them...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] yaabaa1986:
I had a problem with the dailer when in call.

I replaced some files from ka19 for my xs, now it all works great!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
The optiastion bug is gone if you use this mod on this stock based rom. Credit to auras76

You still get the optimastion screen, but instead of optimising 130+ apps it goes within 1-2 seconds...boot is as quick as normal.

Tested by me
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Jacky113:
I flashed this from recovery but I cannot find the preference settings? It is in system/app but can't find it anywhere.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] dd66:
long press on empty zone of the screen, then the little house appearing up are the settings

Hope this helps
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Jacky113:
Got the preference up, but now missing half the text on final row of app drawer. I tried to clearing home setting but didn't work. Any other solutions?

Thats a known bug. I dont think there is a solution, but I can live with it.

Big ass phone, just got a s3, no
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] XxSilent.NightmarexX:
samsungUS tweeted me saying that they might have a plan for trading your SIII for the Note2. i wonder how that works
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] magics.:
that would be interesting if i like the phone , i would have to go into sprint tomorrow and see how it feels in my hands, if it's to big than ill stay with my s3,
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gtuansdiamm:
No i plan on getting the iPhone

Jk jk

The s3 is perfectly fine
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ionthedemon:
Has anybody seen the branding on the Verizon version? They actually put the Verizon logo on the home button and the logos on the back are huge. If sprint does this I won't get it, Verizon managed to make a great looking phone into crap. I really don't mind the back, but really on the home button?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gtuansdiamm:
But there is no carrier logo on the sprint version
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ionthedemon:
Haven't seen it yet, I'll get it if there isn't any. Love that sprint is doing so well now, first to get jellybean and start rolling out 4G faster. Happy I stayed
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EggosEvo:
I am in December. That's when I'm paying my ETF and switching to either ATT on contract(I actually might buy the phone outright from them) or t-mobile prepaid, where I'd still have to buy it outright. I'm just fed up with Sprint.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cnstarz:
sprint's been doing good with 4g rollout and 3g speeds in san antonio, so i may pick it up. 5.5" is huge though!! (that's not what she said)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Jfree3000:
Bigger screen with the same resolution as the S3, pass.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nabbed:
Bigger screen is nice in bed watching youtube and movies, but you could have a tablet instead, and keep a phone for calling and stuff.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CCallahan:
Phone has nice specs but with S3 and a 7" tablet w/pen functions I don't need it. I can see how a device like this could really catch on in the business community though. Wish I could put it in the hands of all my field techs but the cost of data plans is still too high.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DarkManX4lf:
I want to see what the lower dpi screens about. Also probably won't get cm10 for note 2 and even if we do probably won't get the s-pen working. I might pass and keep the s3.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Quincy_adams:
Nahh.. seems to big for me. I mean the S3 is already bug enough and they're essentially the same phone
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 00mred00:
Its already in the works. They had a lot of luck with the pen and cm on the original but loss of samsung specific apps is pretty much a given. If development picks up on the 2 it will be a hit....only major difference being the modems. The difference in hardware between the previous models has been a huge development roadblock.

And yes...I plan on getting one. Just waiting on Sprint to give employees the go ahead to order.

I had the original and have missed it since being hired on here and giving i t to my wife. Most likely I will keep the s3 as well.

The unlimited data will be a huge plus. Capped/throttled data on att was a pita
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] PsycloneTW:
Will get it in February when I get an upgrade. My S3 will go to my daughter.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Aftcomet:
For me, the S3 is about as big as I will go for a Mobile Phone. Note2 is way too big for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MjrCARNAG3:
I'll pop into sprint when I'm passing and have a look. There's gonna have to be a swap program. It's not a big deal for me. I love my s3.

I'm getting one for free so as soon as I'm able to put it on my personal account I'm craigslisting my S3.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shiftr182:
Im going to have to see one in person. In the videos Ive seen, it looks huge. People look goofy holding that thing up to your head. I think picture would look better at that resolution on a smaller screen. The only thing that temps me is the quad core with 2gig ram. Supposedly the LG Nexus is going to blow it out of the water though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] djent:
Nexus devices are never ground breaking in terms of hardware, it will probably be similar to the LG Optimus G. It is a huge phone but holding it doesn't look awkward as the hand covers most of it. I can see it being difficult maybe for people with small hands.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] syngensmyth:
Hey, I am geeky so of course I am tempted. But I am so completely happy with the S3 that I probably will resist the Note 2. I will succumb at some point but by then it may be Note 3. I am unconvinced about carrying the larger unit around all the time but those who have it mostly love it..

I was given and iPad as a gift so without that, I might be more conflicted.
