[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] joemagistro:
i was just looking through the specs of this phone and noticed that it runs on HSDPA.... that said, is it true that we dont get HSPA+ speeds???

I dont understand why tmobile says they have HSPA+42 4g speed, and they sell us a phone thats not capable of that??

am i wrong here??? straighten me out!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Crisisx1:
Technically you will never get that 42mb speed... That's under perfect conditions.

The highest I got on 4G is 30mbps. And upload close to 3.

So I do think the s3 has hspa+
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
HSPA = HSDPA + HSUPA

HSPA - High Speed Packet Access

U - Uplink

D - Downlink

Yes our phones are HSPA.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] joemagistro:
ok well heres my question and please dont try and convince me out.....

our phone says HSDPA......... the Nexus 4 says HSPA+21 ..... that said.. if i buy the nexus4 unlocked, will i still run on HSPA?? i dont want to buy this phone and be stuck on EDGE
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] joemagistro:
from you saying that its the same thing, i should be fine??
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cyanogendroid:
Yes it has the data bands compatible with tmobile. The galaxy nexus was the same way.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] joemagistro:
ok because someone told me that its not the same band and i will be stuck on EDGE... thats good to know
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Yes they are the same. HSPA, HSPA+21, HSPA+42 are all basically HSPA tech. Its just improved over time. HSDPA/HSUPA are just referring to one direction within the HSPA network.

HSDPA is the downlink connection, while HSUPA refers to the uplink. Up and down are separated like this because they proviide different speeds. Down is a lot faster than up.

Our phone, the T999 is capable of HSPA+42 speeds.

Check out my modem thread in the development section stickies. At the bottom of the 3rd post are links to some articles that may interest you.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] redhooka:
It's says that it works with T-Mobile right on the product page, and the radio supports the same frequencies as the S3.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] joemagistro:
thank you all!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] nory82688:
Also , Nexus 4 has been confirmed to have a 42mbs radio, not 21 ;) can't wait!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
All new tmobile smartphones should support +42

If we were stuck on edge we'd all throw our phones away.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JayBeezy802:
Hi all,

I am running a stock 4.1.1, rooted, with an unlocked bootloader. Before the update to 4.1.1 I was running stock ICS on VZW (again rooted with unlocked bootloader).

I downloaded the OTA update and installed the update.zip with CWM. Everything worked without a hitch, BUT my boot up time is super super slow, like 2+ minutes sometimes (2 minutes before it even GETS to the glowing X sign) other times it's 30 seconds.

Here's where I think I didn't something wrong, I use OTA Rootkeeper to protect root, I then assumed I would have to reinstall CWM, but lo and behold I was able to boot into recovery and make a back-up via CWM. In fact, I'm making back-up now as we speak. I also did not wipe cache or davik cache or factory wipe, I just installed the update.zip and let it run.

Do you think this could be my issue?

(Also after reading other threads, I too am having issues with connecting to data[LTE] after turning my wi-fi off, this appears to be a standard issue in 4.1.1 though)

I'd rather NOT do a factory data wipe and have to reinstall everything all over again

Thanks for the help guys!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JayBeezy802:
Bumpity, anyone have any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JayBeezy802:
Apparently, this guy (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1966208) is also having the same issues with me and a fresh install didn't help. Maybe something with VZW GNEX?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dirtygoldfish:
Wait, are you trying to install a Verizon OTA update using CWM?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JayBeezy802:
Yes. I installed it as update.zip via booting into CWM Recovery.

Hey Guys! I have just sold my Motorola Photon and (due to surprisingly how much I love my wifes GS3) am wanting to get a Note II !

So, I haven't heard much (Yes I have looked) From actual Note II Owners, about the battery life. How does it compare to the GS3 or just how long are the phones lasting.

Also if there is anything about the phone that you found you did not like let me know what it is/was!

And of course list the good surprises too.

Thanks for any input guys!

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fat_fat:
ok! this is my problem...

on my Vibrant, i had a problem with my internal storage, no matter what ICS rom i had, it always had very small application storage. so i restocked it with JFD. now is JFD everything worked as it should.

the problem is that after i install anything else i lose access to the SD card. i still have the internal application storage, but no internal SD card, even though i am able to access it from recovery.

anyone has any suggestions?

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shahkam:
Hi All,

I am currently on frostyics and I was tired of the touchwiz launcher but loved the options it had compared to aosp roms and I didn't feel like changing rom's ..

So I started trying some launchers like nova and apex they where smooth but weren't my taste so here is my find : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1557091

Xperia s launcher that works whit our s3 ! On the thread download the multiresolution version ! It has also few really nice looking widgets...

Its really smooth and no fc! It also support landscape mode !!

Here are a few screenshot to show you how it looks !

This is not my work so credits to whoever did this just sharing my finds ..
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shahkam:
If you have any questions you let me know ;) I'll try my best to help you..
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shahkam:
There is even support for custom icon packs !!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shahkam:
No one interested ??
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] wellsey1126:
I tried it. Wasnt really for me. I prefer tocuhwiz
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shahkam:
Have you gotten the widgets along whit it ? And the reason i chose this over the touchwiz one its because the lag i get when flicking through homescreens whit a live wallpaper..
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Mastergrimm28:
I'm using it. Not bad. The only thing I don't like is that it does not allow for resizing of widgets. Other than that it's good.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cmmphish:
Can you root and unlock a prime with Jelly Bean installed?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Danny-B-:
Unlock then install custom rom

^ Linky
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 0xicl33n:
Sarcasm greatly unappreciated

Your sarcasm is quite annoying for someone actually looking how to do this because, this thread is the first thing on the page when you SEARCH GOOGLE for how to unlock a prime running jellybean, or if its even possible. The "let me google that" link, sends you back to this page (derp)

Its kind of rude you would post that, when someone asks a legitimate question on an "android support and development " forum

My original google query lead me here,

and your link sent me to pretty much the same place. No answers

Realllllly would love to know if i can even get unlocked now that im on JB(never bothered) and ROOTED again after losing it during jelly bean update.....

Or if i can just ROOT stock JB.

OR unlock and install a custom ROM W/ root. I have no idea what to do,and i can see asking would probably end up with me getting a "let me google that" link ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hx4700 Killer:
Regardless of what page your question is on, it is asked multiple times a week and has been answered MANY times.

YES you can unlock with the ASUS unlock tool on JB assuming you have a valid serial number on your tab. Then you can flash one of the root tools to the device once you have set up TWRP. Search for Urkels fresh start in the prime forums.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nelomen:
I know it is annoying to see the same qustions many times but let me tell you that I had the same issue and spent half the day yesterday trying to get Adb to work and countless other ways to root jb. Im not new at this as I have ten or more phones and tablets and have never not been able to root after a couple of hours of searching till yesterday on my prime.

All im saying is don't be so quick to assume someone didn't search. Thanks for the info on urkel's root sounds promising and will try when I get home because I got so frustrated last night I gave up trying to root my prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mackovich:
Would it be normal that I cannot use the Asus Unlocking App v6 ?

It says it's for ICS (at that time, it meant for people to move to ICS and leave Honeycomb), so I don't know if it's still revelant for JB ... JB being much closer to ICS than HB... right ?

So now I am thinking, could it be S/N related ?

Now that I think about it, it starts to make sense : ever since I sent my tablet to ASUS via RMA for major problem (couldn't recognize the docking station), I could not, not even once, get an OTA. Even my manually checking for updates when it has been available for days ... I heard OTA works with S/N ... could it be that ? Could it be that my S/N is not in Asus database ?

What do you think ?

I am desperate to unlock my Prime, since I may know a way to root it ...

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tshoulihane:
My prime came back from RMA today (broken screen, FOC replacement), with JB, and showing 'this device is unlocked' on the boot screen.

Replaced parts were screen and 'MAIN_BD'.

Without trying the Asus unlock tool, I unstalled TWRP and then manually installed su. So, if you've not already tried, it might be worth flashing TWRP using fastboot.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Markyd68a:
To the people than live and breath the art of ROM flashing unlocking and all things "Voodoo" related I am sure its very annoying to get lots of repeat questions. To those is search of answers it is also depressing not to find them.

I have been searching for days (on and off as also need to work etc) to find out how to root my Transformer Prime with Jelly Bean and so far not found the answer, just comments about "its been answered many times" .... I am sure it has but its still very hard to find .... big thanks to all those that help

MarkyD
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dlads:
To put it plainly, the answer is actually out there, i needed to seek some advice and i found some, but i found it by blind luck.

It was long winded but actually what was written actually made sense after i'd done it.

The answer your looking for is here my friend, you just need to search and find it, i know that flashing your prime can be a daunting process but bear with it, it's worth the pay off.

Sorry i can't help more, i was spoon fed my tutorial and my apologies for not having the brains at the moment to recall (too much wine :) )

EDIT: The reason why people get pissed off with the re asking of questions, is because if like me you run a thread, then your used to the same arsey questions being asked daily, and being the soft heart that i am, i always tend to just answer them, instead of saying "Look back a few pages you child of satan!!!!!!!!!!!"

I'm not that cold :)

Either way the answers are there and there are

Some

cool people out there who will help, i guess it's just a case of getting lucky with it,

I personally have RMA'd my prime and will probably get it back locked to fecking jelly bean and no way around it, but hey so long as the camera works, it may be worth it :)

Good luck m8, and if you do get it working, why not try to write a dumbass version here :)

PS: What does RMA actually mean? Return to manufacturer for Action??? or something?? I'm not sure. :) answers on a postcard ;)

Hello everyone,

I tried to find any threads about my subject but I couldn't find any.

I don't know if you guys loved to use the anti-shake feature on the stock rom but I totally do love that and when I rooted my phone and installed CM10 (also tried with AOKP) I noticed that this feature is not available and that my pictures are totally horrible without it.

Is there any other solution than keeping the original ROM and have a super cool feature on the Camera application under CM10, AOKP and many others?

Cheers!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sg3love:
I love the anti shake so bad im going back to stock camera on a different stock rom because i couldnt find anywhere if i can do what you are asking or not... good luck my friend. :good:

Does anybody know if HOS on three network in UK is S3 or S4 version? My upgrade is due to next week and I really like this phone but I don't want to get S3 version.I asked customer service yesterday but advisor was unable to find out which version they have in stock.
[HTC One S] Spastic909:
Tell them to look on the box it comes in. Weird they couldn't find out . Try their tech support...someone there should know...if not that's kinda bad
[HTC One S] saculetz:
If he said he was unable to find out, then it is the S3 model :)
[HTC One S] gucio2607:
I spoke with technical team today and advisor sad that one s on three is 1.5 ghz so it is propable s4 version...he has no access to box to check this out...
[HTC One S] usaff22:
Go into a store and buy it, beforehand look at the box. 1.5GHz and z520e is an S4 and 1.7GHz z560e is the S3.
[HTC One S] Spastic909:
You found your answer
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Markor13:
My phone does not alert me if I walk away from my S Pen even though I have that option checked, does this not work yet? Also when I use to pull my pen out I would get an icon in the upper left telling me the pen was out.... I no longer get that icon when I take my pen out. Anyone know why?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] graveghoul:
Same here. I wonder if it has to do with a custom launcher cause im not rooted and the only mod ive made is installed Apex launcher.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] DrmMaster:
Just tested, mine doesnt seem to alert me either
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Markor13:
Forgot to add im not rooted. The thing bothering me the most is not getting the Pen icon in my notification bar anymore. I feel like I may forget to put my pen baxk.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ovrd0ze:
I'm rooted, running Frosty JB rom, and Nova prime launcher. I still get the notification that the pen is out and still get alerted if I walk away without the pen attached.

If the phone isn't realizing that the pen has been detached in the first place, why would it alert you that you've walked away from it?

Tried rebooting?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] deeznutz1977:
Its crazy it seems hit or miss I've never received the alert and I walked away 30 feet for minutes
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Tidbits:
You need to have the screen locked AND off. So far it's been 100% when those requirements are set for me. It won't go off a second time if you didn't put the pen back into the silo though unless you unlock the screen after the first warning and you are not within 2 ft of your pen.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] gaticaag:
+1. Make sure the screen is locked and off. From my understanding, it's an accelerometer deal. Leave your pen somewhere, walk away with it in hand and sway your arms a bit or shake your hand. I went about 30-40 feet and then it went off.

As for the S Pen icon...make sure you have Page Buddy on an S Pen Page check marked also. I'm rooted running Frosty JB and Apex Launcher instead of Touchwiz. I get the notification that it's detached, but the S Pen Page doesn't show up as it's a Touchwiz thing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Markor13:
The phone does recognize the pen has been detached. When I slide the pen out, the phone beeps and opens up the pen note pad.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Markor13:
That worked! I had page buddy deleted, and just put it back on and now I have the icon again!

Thank you.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinay427:
It struck me as a little odd that the display isn't 720p like the Galaxy Nexus, but in fact 1280x768. Especially with the on screen buttons which will use up some vertical pixels, I'm afraid that the display might almost seem not wide/tall enough. Is it just me?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctowne:
Maybe because the screen is 4.7 inches vs. the Gnex which is 4.65?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumist:
You realize 1280x768 is bigger than 720p (1280x720) right? As in, it will have more pixels than the Galaxy Nexus.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TiesB:
You will probably lose about 48px with the on-screen buttons, so it will actually be 1280x720 :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] If Then Else:
Pixel density should actually be higher than the gs3, due to the screen being smaller, I'm pretty sure if you exclude the pixels taken by the on screen buttons, it's exactly 720p.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kingsmith:
768 is the horizontal resolution

The physical buttons are almost always on the bottom.

if the bottom bars were 48 pixels you're subtract that from the vertical resolution.

1232x720 usable.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] If Then Else:
Except that in a full screen app, they'll disappear anyways, such as when you're watching a video, exactly like every other nexus device.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] comminus:
The nexus 4 PPI is higher (320 vs 316) however the big difference is that there are 33% fewer sub pixels in the pen tile display of the Galaxy Nexus. This is where you will see the difference, not in the additional 4 PPI.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KonstantinKeller:
It actually is 720p. 1280x768. Nav bar = 48px. 768-48=720. 1280x720.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkShot666:
That's incorrect, it was already said in a previous post.

Although it'd be 1232x768.

Either way, I see it as an advantage. There's more screen real estate in the end, even if it's only an extra 48px in width. Assuming it's centered, when watching 720p video there will be a 24px gap above and below the video. Not that big of a deal. If it is, you could fit it to the screen so there isn't any wasted screen space.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
Anyone who had a Galaxy Note like me would appreciate a nice 8:5 ratio screen with the extra pixels. 720p is a very loosely used term. Why complain when you get even higher resolution?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinay427:
I wasn't complaining; just wondering if this would make a big difference in normal usage. The general consensus on the thread seems to be that although it will result in a 1232x768 resolution not counting the buttons, the only real "issue" will be small black bars when watching a 16:9 movie. Thanks guys!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nikal12:
Hi!

This is almost the only thing that bothers me: those buttons... I think this choice is really weird. Why don't they put normal buttons under the screen? Because of this choice, I feel there is a big black part down for nothing. It's ugly...

In addition, the buttons, are they automatically hidden in all applications? And when the Nexus is used with a TV, even the nav bar is displayed?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinay427:
Yes and no. It hides when you're playing a movie, YouTube video, etc. regardless of whether it's hooked up to a TV, I believe.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rizy7:
There are 1280pixels vertically.. However, the default navbar takes up 48 of those pixels.

So the screen is a bit wider allowing it to have 768 pixels (720+48)

So to make up for the on screen nav bars they have made the display a little wider.

The aspect ratio suffers though as it will not be perfectly 16:9
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mister_Mxyzptlk:
Okay. There seems to be some confusion here. Horizontal resolution defines a display's height (in pixels, not inches; and assuming all resolutions are defined in landscape). Vertical resolution defines a display's width. The assumption that the nav bar's 48 pixels effectively make it a 720p display is false. The nav bar subtracts from the display's vertical resolution, not it's horizontal; which makes it 1232x768. It does not make it 1280x720.

---------- Post added at 10:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:28 PM ----------

The nav bar's 48 pixels change the display's aspect ratio from 5:3 to 77:48 (in landscape).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] casonswag:
Exactly and isnt that the size of the navbar stock right 48px
