I'm so sick of these restrictive wallpaper choosers on most devices now, that don't let you have what it is you really want to see on screen! I'm currently using an SGS3 with halo launcher but that doesn't change how Gallery wants to use the image. Same thing with my Galaxy Tab 10.1 Have a look at the screenshots...

So what do other people use?

Does anyone know of an app that can do this better?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] henrybravo:
QuickPic allows selecting the entire image, or you can pinch & zoom the selection you want.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Idan73:
App called 'crop wallpaper' works best for me. Light and does not auto start at boot. Crops at very high quality as well as selecting certain sections, as well as setting full image uncropped.

So since they aren't showing poll options, here is your options:

Would you like the kernels sticky thread to become...

1. Remain just as it is...CM7 and GB only.

2. a kernel and recent ROM thread w/links

3. a kernels thread only cm7/9/10/GB w/links

4. a thread with all known material links to date?

I sent him a bunch a stuff a while ago and that's why its semi updated. He will not keep up to date with it at all. You and I both know that. So I don't think its silly at all. He still has tons of out dated links on there.

Lol sorry I didn't me it was "my stuff" I just meant I provided him with updated links to some threads. If you want those I can paste them over here or you can. Let me know!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] noodlev1:
I voted for number 3. It seems like 4 is a good option, but ROMs are constantly changing and updating I think it would be too much of a nuisance to update and things would get dated pretty fast. The development thread keeps up to date info on ROMs most of the times. While kernels don't change as often, sometimes for months, and get pushed down to fast. They seem to get harder and harder to find over time.

Hi XDA Developers Community!

Recently I noticed calendar notification settings (of both S Calendar and Google Calendar app) cleared upon power off of my Samsung Galaxy SIII. I'm trying to turn off all S Calendar notifications while leaving on all Google Calendar notifications (prefer this app).

Main questions:

-Has anyone else experienced this?

-Does anyone know if S Calendar and Google Calendar notification settings are tied to one another?

Samsung technical support is suggesting a factory reset**. As I want to avoid a hard reset, I tried to troubleshoot on my own and noted the below scenario highlighting notification setting status of both S Calendar and Google Calendar before/after power off:

Would appreciate if anyone has any insight into this!

**After contacting Samsung technical support, this is what I was told:

-Tech support initially said that it has to do with removing the battery and said that Google Calendar + S Calendar notification settings are linked to one another.

-(After telling tech support it happened w/o removing the battery and just powering off), technician rescinded original statement

-Then said, should not be happening and suggested a factory reset.

Thanks,

cristobalwong
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] herpi:
Same problem here.

Identical as written above, but :

After powering down/or resetting Galaxy SII:

Google calendar:

>Settings

>General settings

Under "Reminder settings"

>Notifications (checked) typo?

>Pop-up notification (unchecked)

S Calendar:

Notifications sounds are reset to "On time" sound after a reboot.

Google calendar:

The notification sound is unchanged.

But after a second reboot the Google Calendar sound has set itself the same as the S Calendar ("On time").

so, after each reboot/power off:

S Calendar:

I should manually set the status bar notifications to off to prevent double view in the status view.

Google Calendar:

I have to redo my sound settings because Google calendar takes over the S Calendar settings.

My Google calendar Status bar notifications looks like off but they appear on the staus bar.

I do not change/check them.

Huib
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cristobalwong:
Huib, so it seems like it's not an isolated issue to my device and a factory reset may not be the solution. May just be the interference between S Calendar and Google Calendar perhaps? I wonder if deleting/reinstalling Google Calendar might help the cause.

It's just a hassle to turn off notifications on S Calendar after a reboot. I have multiple batteries so usually after recharging one, I'll switch to another...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] herpi:
I already did a delete/reinstall. no difference.

After that had some problems with sync settings: S calendar was empty. But maybe I should have waited.

Played with the sync settings, reinstalled Google but do not remember what I did to make it working again.

So, sound settings not solved.

It must have to do with the samsung/google combi.

Strange that there are few complaints.

Huib
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cristobalwong:
I will have to see if my sounds are effected--to date, have not noticed it. Hopefully others will see this thread and contribute their experiences!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mwoo:
I have the same issue here. I hoped the JB 4.1 update would fix, but it didn't. I did factory reset, and that didn't fix it either.

Any news on this ? I have the same problem and it is annoying.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] herpi:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DanG82:
Same exact issue here. I have the Sprint Galaxy S III with Jelly Bean and both S Calendar and Google Calendar installed. Hopefully Samsung or Google will address this in a future update.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] InternetKing:
I'm seeing the exact same issue here on an I9300.

The google calendar/S Planner "default reminder time" changes from "off" to "15 mins" every time I reboot the phone.

Does anyone have solution yet?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] eldis:
International I9300 and stock 4.1.2 NEE here and annoyed with the same problem. If anyone finds a solution please write it here or to the International I9300 forum. I'm mostly interested in finding a way to prevent duplicates in notifications. I have found out that my 'Show week numbers' setting in Google Calendar gets reset to unticked after a reboot.

Anyone tried to disable Samsung Calendar altogether?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dagactor:
SCH-i535 Same issue. I assumed it was S-Cal and froze it, but the Google Calendar still resets on a reboot. I don't get it!!!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dbal:
Discovered the problem today on my official 4.1.2 S2 and the only way to avoid duplicate notifications is go to application manager --> "All" tab --> S planner and uncheck the option show notifications. Thus, even if notification settings are active again after every reboot, they won't show up.

But the problem with the settings on google calendar after reboot, still remains unsolved...I am afraid (didnt try) that disabling SPlanner will cause Google calendar to malfunction as well as it is obvious that they are strongly tied together. Same thing happens (tried it) if you disable sync on SPlanner calendars - Google calendars do not get synced as well...

I am pretty sure that the problem exists on all S3/S2 stock JB users but it's not on the talk, since noone cares about such things, including Google or Samsung to opt for a solution in a future update...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] herpi:

After reboot setting in both google calendar and s planner are being reset to defaults.

One setting that was not mentioned here is 'first day of the week', is also being reset.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] herpi:
My only solution on the Galaxy 2 was removing googles calendar .

Now a restart does not change anything.

I can live with it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] herpi:
Yep, the only "solution" As you cannot remove S Planner.

Huib
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kettir:
What's the advantage of using s planner over other calendar apps?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dbal:
Solved!

Today I flashed my S2 with a newer stock JB, moving from LSD to LSW.

Happily I discovered that after 2 restarts, all notifications settings I chose on both calendar apps remained intact so like the thread author, I unchecked all S Planner notification settings and now fully use google calendar which I prefer too.

Have a nice weekend everybody :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dpark06:
I just came across this thread. I have been having issues with calendar notifications changing from "off" to 'on" by itself as well. Try this: Go to application manager and go to ALL. Then look for the built in Calendar (green calendar). Disable it and Clear data. After trying doing this and rebooting, notifications are still off now. Let me know if that works for you guys.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] iglu:
I recently upgraded my S3 to the leaked 4.2.2 OS version, and this issue does not repeat it self in this later version.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] testerdennis:
Yes I have the same problem, very annoying.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stijak:
Unfortunately not able to help you - but I can explain what caused the problem. Solution would be either for Samsung to change their package name, or remove Google hack from their codebase.

Problem was caused by Google hack and influenced by the fact that Samsung (as well as some other phone manufacturers) uses same package name as google used.

Apps store its preference in xml file in locations like:

/data/data/packagename/shared_prefs/shared_pref_name.xml

For its Calendar Samsung uses “com.android.calendar” as packagename.

Google vanilla application distributed with Android OS (which was also codebase for Samsung Calendar) also used “com.android.calendar”, but when they switched to closed source – they changed it to "com.google.android.calendar."

In order to painlessly migrate their preferences, it seems Google resorted to hack, which on every restart when Google calendar is installed, moves every file from:

/data/data/com.android.calendar/shared_prefs/ to

/data/data/com.google.android.calendar/shared_prefs/

deleting files on original location in the process. You can confirm this if you have root access.

As for hack – it can be found in file vendor/google/updatecmds/google_generic_update.txt (yes, it is TXT file):

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Illuminatiii_X:
Hello all,

I had a T-Mobile T989 (Galaxy SII) that I bought nearly a year ago and now I am wanting to upgrade to the Galaxy Note II but I have a concerns about upgrading.

The Galaxy Note 2 is large too most people. And this following question is for men only (sorry female community). I am 6'3" and weigh nearly 200 lbs and I have large hands. Is this device too large to fit into hands and pockets? I have deep pockets (not figuratively) and I don't want a $700 device hanging out of my pocket.

Next Question:

Is $570.00 too much to pay for an early upgrading price? I just added a new line to my plan about a week ago so my contract is still viable for another 2 years so if I do this it will renew the 2 year status. Is this bad or good pricing in comparison to full retail prices?

Last Question:

I love XDA Development of custom ROMS. Will this device see a lot of custom roms such as AOKP and Cyanogenmod? Is the hardware in this different than the ATT, Sprint, Verizon, International variants? (Besides radios for the bands they run on?)

Thanks in advance,

Hunter

So I start looking at internet for anwers to my problem, but every similar thread talks about loosing the imei, I check my imei and it was the same imei from the battery, I got ICS rooted and I flash XXLR1 radio/modem and nothing, still not detect the sim card, obviously the sim card is in the right position checked twice.

I hope someone got a similiar problem and can give me some help with this :(

I was experiencing problems with my phone not getting enough charge this whole week i would leave it on the charger all night and wake up and my phone would be at the same percentage. Anyways I took it to a phone repaid shop today to change out the charging port and now my charging problems are fixed but then I called my friend and he could not hear me at all.

Is it possible that the repairman damaged the microphone while changing the port? I've read in other posts where people buy charging ports and a mic was included. Just wanted to clarify if the mic is connected to the charging port. My phone was working fine prior to the fix. I'm also on aokp Jb 5. I did a clean install right after but that did not work.

UPDATE: Just did a few tests and i can confirm that my mic does work on speakerphone. Without speakerphone it doesnt work and i tried to record a video and the video had NO AUDIO.

still the hardware is in perfect condidtion and its been side by side with a uk branded phone and everything looks the same so its probably not a knock off :D
