[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wtfshouldidonow:
This should be in the Q&A section, but please be specific as to what exactly you were doing? (Gaming, browsing in 3g or wifi, etc.) If you just got the phone however, just wait for about three and four days and the real battery life would start to emerge. This is the time when most phones can actually last for almost a day or two. Another thing is that you should download Better BatteryStats and find apps that give the most wakelocks. Just take a screenshot and upload it here if you need help. And live wallpapers and widgets do cause some unnecessary battery drain.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m78kem:
I've had it since release. I hoped that JB would fix the battery. I'll try and get a screenshot later

Flash a kernel that supports over/underclocking and whip that badboy down to about 800mhz when your not using it ;)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m78kem:
Flash a kernel? I assume I need to root the phone first.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thyk888358:
I used to feel the same but after I use wanam rom ... I feel good with my battery .. so give it a try and welcome to android :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JYJY:
If you're not using your phone and it is still at 800mhz, there is something wrong. :laugh: what the hell you talking about.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wtfshouldidonow:
I think he's talking about underclocking the max cpufreq to 800 mhz when you're sure that you're not going to be using the device for a while. I think it's a pretty good idea actually, but certainly not practical for everybody especially heavy users like me :p
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shenery:
Yeah. I sometimes do that when im not near a charger and my battery is dwindeling. Anything less than 800mhz is pretty bad though when your used to the rapidness.

Looks like im selling this badboy anyway. Hopefully get a lg nexus next week. It seems to me that to acheive proper butteryness you have to use toichwiz ui. None of the cm10 or even when i use nova or any other launcher. None of are as smooth as tkuchwiz.Im mad for mods and flashing so think its time for a switch.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wtfshouldidonow:
Thinking of the same too actually. But based on the rumors, I hear more nexuses coming from other OEMs are to be actually revealed rather than just from lg. Although if the nexus 4 really does come with just 8gb of internal storage without a microsd slot then I'm sticking with my S3. Although I hear that new parts of code are already starting to show up in the Origen-board-something for exynos processors, this might turn out to be a gamechanger for our problems with cm10 or other pure android goodies.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gavin-phelan:
So basically with what we know of the nexus 4 specs are pretty impressive but will the s3(intl) still compete

with it? Whats your opinion
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaspernemec:
Hardware wise-no

Software wise-depends of user (some like vanilla android others modded one)

Feature wise-yes, i dont think nexus 4 will pack features like smart stay......
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hidden92:
Hardware -> Nexus

Software -> Nexus

Design -> Nexus

The S3 is nothing compared to this device.

(The only thing where the S3 can score is the SD-Slot (I still don't get why Google refuses to attach an SD-Slot))

Design is a subjective opinion, somebody likes it, somebody don't :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bradputt:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
No external sd?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gavin-phelan:
Yes but cm10 on both devices? I'll wait and see the benchmark :p
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hidden92:
That's right. But the S3 is ugly as **** :laugh:

LG is a great hardware manufracturer. The problem with LG-phones is the software, but this problem is solved by Google.

Of course I can't say for sure, but it is very likely that there won't be an external sd. I still hope for it though even if it's very unlikely.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HANDSY:
Google is an Internet based company. They want you to save your stuff online, even way they produced a laptop it had very little hard drive capacity. Unfortunately for me anyway, Internet connections in my area are to slow and unreliable to keep photos, music etc purely online.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaidev.s:
Well nexus is yet to be launched and s3 was announced back in Feb , so you can in no way expect s3 to beat nexus in hardware. If and when galaxy s4 comes out, it will kick nexus 4s ass. If you compare note 2 to nexus 4 , it will be a fair comparison

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HANDSY:
How much more can smart phones improve? Surely manufacturers can't be far off on maxing out on new features and useful processing speed.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dan Law 001:
Rumors say that Nexus 4 will not have external sd card slot. If this is really so, GS3 will definitively beat it since without sd card slot, you really can't do anything with your device. For example, I use my external sd card to back all the content of my phone and if I got a new phone, I can simply plug my sd card into it, install Titanium backup and restore everything on the new phone. An Android without external sd is just an iPhone!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwerty12:
The Nexus 4 manual has been leaked, so I'm sure a more concrete answer can be found in there, but Nexus devices (save for the One) will never have a memory card slot because Google are philosophically against them. I think there's a Google engineer that talks about why when interviewed about the GNex. For that reason, I will never buy a Nexus phone, as I cannot take them seriously when they only come with 8/16 GB storage around these parts with no room for expansion :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RF12:
Is it already known whether the Nexus will be pentaband?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stubborn_d0nkey:
It is now
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RF12:
Yes, I saw that too. It's good news. Smaller footprint vs. the GT-I9300 but thicker 9.1mm vs. 8.6.

The cheapest model has only 8GB of storage. Price is cheap and it's unlocked but does one carry a music collection, pictures/ videos etc.

They are pushing for the cloud and I am not willing.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antti91:
Nexus 4 price

I live in Finland where electronic products in general are expensive due to high tax rate but does anyone know about the price of the 16gb model in Europe? I've read that the price in the US is 350$ which in worst case might translate into 350€ or more.

This is a little off topic but comparing the Nexus 4 with the Asus Padfone 2, which would you say is the better phone, specswise and considering build quality?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chunghanjie92:
I think they're equals at least, with Nexus 4 having the better design and vanilla android, but S3 having better build quality (if rumours about LG's quality is to be trusted) and features. Specs wise, they both perform pretty much on the same level anyway
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RF12:
I haven't heard about any quality/ build problems RE LG.

I am going to get the Nexus 4 because it's vanilla Android (sick and tired of waiting on OEMs to release updates) and because it's pentaband.

Just wish it were a tad thinner.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dan Law 001:
There are no valid reasons for which Google can disargree with the use of external SD card or removable battery since this kind of ease is just the advantage of Google and Google didn't even know about it and ironically they think that the "one-button" nonsense ideology of simplicity of Apple is the real thing...

Turn off the phone. Hold the menu button while turning the phone on and hold the menu button until you see the home screen.

You're now in Safe-Mode!

Remove Go Launcher Ex. And pull out the battery, to turn the phone off, wait for one minute until you turn the phone on again.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obagleyfreer:
I dont think it has anything to do with Go Launcher dude i think it's a coincidence.

If factory reset doesn't help you may need to flash stock firmware again in Odin.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xzellenz2012:
how can i tell what is my firmware and stuff if my phone won't do nothing, and how to use odin
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obagleyfreer:
You can go to Sammobile.Com and check there. What country are you in?

To use Odin to flash a firmware package you need to:

1. Download firmware and Odin

2. Make sure phone is over 80% charged

3. Boot phone into download mode by pressing and holding volume down+home+power

4. Open Odin

4.connect phone to PC. (You need to have drivers installed, you can do this by installing latest version of Kies but make sure Kies isn't running when flashing with Odin as it can mess it up.

5. You should see a yellow box appear when your phone is recognised.

6. Place the .Tar firmware file in PDA section of Odin

7.click start.

Phone should restart when it's finished

[LG Optimus Black] wyrman:
First time boys. I've rooted my phone and have Superuser installed and Rom Manager. I'm running V20S patched. Question is how to install CM nightly's latest and how to get back to V20 if things screw up. TIA
[LG Optimus Black] srikanth_kande:
First make nandroid backup of ur existing ROM .....I think U know about it, if not (reboot into ClockworkMod>Advanced>Nandroid backup)

Now installing CM10:

Download the latest nightly of CM10 and download the gapps from cyanogenmod official site and place them both zip files in root of SD card (not in any folder)

Now reboot ur phone into ClockworkMod; do factory reset; do wipe cache; and do dalvik cache (dalvik cache in advanced options)

1. Now come back and select the option Choose the zip from SD card>Select the zip

Now select the nightly zip file and press YES to install....

After installing again follow the point 1. and choose the zip file of gapps to install

After finishing reboot the phone...

CM10 installed... (From the next time, use CM updater option in About phone options for easy installation of every nightly without wipes)
[LG Optimus Black] wyrman:
And if things don't go well how do I get back to V20S bud? I'm saving your info to txt file for later as well
[LG Optimus Black] wyrman:
One more for ya. Is there a big difference between Nightly's latest version and this one cm-10-20121011-EXPERIMENTAL-p970-M2?
[LG Optimus Black] srikanth_kande:
Yes somewhat big difference...M2 experimental is more stable without bugs

And every latest nightly include latest features,

If you want to know what the changes on every nightly..go here > (http://changelog.bbqdroid.org/#p970/cm10/1348746167)

Install nightly every week or twice weekly, not daily......it's better than trying every nightly

Try to know about CM updater, then u don't need to do all wipes..

there is easy process for that...Just download the nightly and put the zip file in CM updater folder of SD card (SD card/CM updater)

then go to Settings>About phone>CyanogenMod updates>zip file that you downloaded, (observe the date)
[LG Optimus Black] wyrman:
So M2 has no bugs? So the caller ID works and such? Can you install Nightly's on top of M2? And how do I get back to V20S?
[LG Optimus Black] srikanth_kande:
In latest nightly that does not work, how that will work in M2 ...stable mean you can use that nightly without lags

Actually nightlies release intended for knowing bugs

caller ID problem is only for some people, so it may work for you.

Until the option you can go into ClockworkMod, you can get back to any ROM

If you have problem in middle of ClockworkMod, you can just restore the ROM from Nandroid backup that is in Advanced option

If you get bootloop, you should have to flash the V20S patch again..
[LG Optimus Black] wyrman:
Can you put Nightly's on top of M2 or do I have to go back to V20S?
[LG Optimus Black] wyrman:
Tried to flash. Did the wipes. Counld install from SD card. Said no SD card install or something like that. Had to flash back into V20S.
[LG Optimus Black] theaks30:
you know that you are going against the rules of the forum right?

Thing is:

I am used to do a few wipes in CWM before installing a new rom.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cokesmoke:
Hello,

I've been trying to unroot my SGS3 several times 2day using the following checklist:

1- Run Triangle Away

2- Reset Flash Counter

3- Factory reset from CWM

3- Clear Cache from CWM

3- Clear Dalvik from CWM

(Here I noticed that "SYSTEM STATUS" turned to costom)

4- Ran setup for the phone

5- flashed several roms from sammobile (one for each run)

6- Booted rom

(Here it started bothering about messaging service crashed, after some googling I found that I should flash the NEE CSC)

7- Flashed NEE CSC

8- checked that the CSC is correct

9- done a factory reset

At this point I should be good to go... BUT

- Kies say that my phone doesn't support updates

- the device status say that it's modified

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong... I've done a day of googling, testing and failing, so fingers crossed :crying:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lelinuxien52:
On your rooted device :

1) Install and run TriangleAway

2) When phone reboots, remove the battery IMPORTANT

3) Put battery and directly start Recovery mode.

4) Wipe your Data / Wipe your Cache / Wipe your Dalvik cache

5) Don't setup phone / Don't start phone IMPORTANT

6) Reboot in Download mode

7) Flash the latest ROM corresponding to your phone country or providers. For example, if you have Vodafone device, flahs Vodafone rom, not another one.

8) Reboot in Normal mode your phone.

9) Don't settings-up but go on Settings, and make a factory reset. It will restart and will be unroot. Statuts will change to Normal.

10) Change CSC if necessary ( *#272*IMEI# or use CSC changer on JellyBean).
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Simonetti2011:
This can be sumarized in 2 methods:

1) Run Triangle Away

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cokesmoke:
The way I did things this time:

1- Install Triangle Away and reset counter

2- Pull battery as soon as the S3-logo shows

3- Entering CWM and setting factory reset, clear cache and clear dalvik

4- Entering Download Mode and flashing I9300XXALE8_I9300NEEALE3_NEE

5- /tried both/

5.1- Booting into android and taking a factory reset

5.2- Entering stock recovery and taking a reset from there

6- Booted into android and waiting for 10 minuttes in order to make the device status show

7- Making sure that the status is 'Normal'

8- /tried both/

8.1- Updating via OTA

8.2- Updating via Kies

9- Waiting for 10 minuttes in order to make the device status show

10- Device Status has changed to 'Modified'

Getting really confused here... Both update methods I'm using are official Samsung sources for updates, so I don't understand head or tail of what's going on here...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Basically your problem is that Kies does nor recognize the codes you present to it .

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drolevar:
Have you tried restoring with Kies? I mean using Kies - Fastvareoppgradering/initialisering - WITHOUT phone connected! It will ask you for a model and serial number (both under the battery), and will show your last official firmware, then you can connect the phone in Odin download mode, and it will restore it. You might need to do it twice.
