well...it has the nokia clearblack screen the 1.5ghz qualcomm processor...the os....the design....and better support...I know that this device wont get wp8 but anyway it is more supported than our o2x by LG not by xda-developers
[LG Optimus 2x] Velocy:
I don't think it's a good idea to switch ,Windows phone is ios like ,VERY closed ,you can't do all the tweaks you can made on android ,you can't use your phone the way you like ,you can't use it as a standard Mass storage , the following of Nokia/LG will be the same ,the lumia is stuck to 7.8 .....no upgrades......:crying:

and to finish ,the Lg display is quiet good, and go to a smaller screen won't be comfortable fo you :cyclops:
[LG Optimus 2x] machoman1337:
Official support doesn't matter if the support doesn't deliver functionality.

As of 2012, unmodded Android 2.2 (or even 2.1) is far more capable than WP7.8, and definitely stomps any version of iOS. Yes, it's nice that even the iPhone 3GS receives at least part of the iOS 6 update. But if that update doesn't bring its capabilities in line with the two-year-old Froyo, then what's the point?

Yes, the Lumia has awesome hardware and aesthetics, and if the aesthetics are a big selling point for you, fair enough.

Another caveat to watch out for - with WP7.5 and probably 7.8, the multitasking implementation is TERRIBLE. Their method of hibernating apps means that 3rd party apps that use push notifications are unable to function properly - you need to keep reopening the app every few hours to prevent it from "deep sleeping" and thus being completely unable to receive notifications. So if you open whatsapp once, then close it for a day or so without reopening it, any new messages you get after will never be received until you reopen the app manually. To be fair this method allows for good battery life and prevents the phone from lagging, but for those who rely on IMing this is unacceptable.

In other words, if you're a heavy user of Whatsapp, Google Talk, Facebook chat, etc then even Blackberry 7 is a better platform than WP. I did read that WP8 has proper multitasking so the problem may be solved there, but hey, it ain't coming to the old Lumias.

You don't have to be a "power user" (i.e. the kind who likes flashing custom ROMs) to benefit from the openness of Android vs WP or iOS. The issues of an inaccessible file system and poor multitasking affect everyone, not just us CM-obsessed types.

Btw, here's something ironic: Microsoft designed the Sync infotainment system in my car, which can read music off a USB device if the device is either Apple or it has an accessible file system. The only smartphone OS that can't connect via USB happens to be WP7, made by Microsoft.

edit: I hope you don't think I'm trying to badmouth WP as the devil... I acknowledge it has its strengths, and anyone who's comfortable with iOS, will be right at home with WP. However, someone who's used Android custom ROMs, is probably a different demographic and I'm just pointing out that WP isn't exactly suited for it, even less so than BlackBerry.
[LG Optimus 2x] grimmyrippy:
And old lumia after 1 update microsoft drop their support for it but in xda as long as their is important codes release by RC it keeps evolving and stabilizing, microsoft only support now for the new lumia 900 and the lumia in the future but the old ones? Never mind
[LG Optimus 2x] machoman1337:
Remember, it's not just getting updates that's important, it's what comes in the updates that also matters. Ask yourself - that iPhone 3GS may have "excellent" update support, but do those updates actually make the phone better than android?
[HTC Rezound] Aeroman787:
Hey all,

I'm running the latest Nils Business Sense 3.6, and it seems that after an automatic phone shutdown due to low battery, the power saver quick setting is stuck on and greyed out. I tried rebooting without fastboot, force stopping the app, etc. and its still stuck. Any help appreciated as I really don't feel like reflashing the rom.

Thanks
[LG Optimus 3D] afrocentricity:
Ok, the initial problem I had was that all my apps started force closing (swype beta, dropbox, calender, etc..). I tried un installing various apps but no joy. I tried to backup using Titanium and then factory reset, no joy. I tried to force an update using a pc and a copy of the latest firmware, no joy. I've been trying to get my phone into recovery using titanium, i also tried using the button presses but you guessed it, no joy. It jus switches off, or reboots.

I'm now at a loss so I'm here for any help you guys can offer.

Note, it also seems that my phone isn't keeping any changes since this has started. Any apps I un install are back when I switch on my phone, and any messages sent or calls made are gone when I switch on my phone.

I'll buy a drink for anyone that can get me up and running again :)

Thanks in advance.
[LG Optimus 3D] iodak:
I think holding home and vol- while turning the phone on will do factory reset. Before that put battery out and in again.
[LG Optimus 3D] afrocentricity:
Ok, could yo be a bit more specific? I think there's something I'm not getting here. I've just tried this and its been on the LG splash screen for around 10mins, looks like its hung.

Do I hold home and vol- while I switch on and then release? hold them till the LG splash? hold all 3? hold until it goes into factory reset? Not having a go at you, just confused...

Will update afterwards...

Well, it seems I cant do anything to get my phone into recovery or hard reset... any other ideas?

I've come back to this thread as I never actually resolved my issue. I just switched back to my BB and kept putting off fixing my p920. Now I actually want to fix it but still cannot. None of the methods advised up until now work.

Hopefully there maybe more information about the problem now. I have tried numerous factory resets all of which have no effect (phone boots up as before with multiple force close, and defaulting to that earlier date.)

I opened another thread regarding unrooting my phone (so I can send it off) but I thought to give this thread one more try.

Please help?

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] mpeyrac:
Hey guys,

I've cracked the screen on my S3 19305T. The buttons and screen actually work perfectly its just the glass screen that is broken. After doing some research I have found multiple sources where people say you can just replace the outer glass screen.

What my question is -

Is the i9300 outer screen the same as the i9305? I am looking at purchasing this but want to make sure its the same for i9305 - I have found a few ebay sellers who just have the glass screen for around $20AUD but need to make sure it fits before purchasing. Any other advice or feedback will be greatly appreciated also.

Your advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] mpeyrac:
I don't know if I need the glass screen with the 'sensor signal ribbon' or without for the i9305T?

Can anyone please confirm?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] sxi200:
Not 100% but I do believe they are the same. Doubt you'd need the ribbon unless you cut the original while removing the glass so be careful.

Edit: Remember that you are only replacing the glass. There are no wires or anything connected. The digitizer and LCD are under it.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] seekr:
Hey mpeyrac, I wondered how you got along trying to replace the GS3 glass. I got myself into a similar situation this friday night...

Searching and asking around leads to contradictory advice: someone say the whole front needs replacing (including display) others have mentioned just the lens...

Cheers
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] btemtd:
I would be 99.999% sure its like the I9300 and i have seen a youtube video of a guy only replacing the glass only but this is harder to do and its a really slow and tedious procedure.

do a youtube search you will see this guy in the states doing it. And yes it is also same screen for the US devices
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] chippyuk:
The info I have from a distributor is that Samsung do NOT supply the glass on it its own so I would be a little cautious as to whether you would actually be getting gorilla glass.

I have also seen horror stories of people tryign to replace the glass and completelly srewing up the display. It is also a nightmare to get off.

I appreciate it is much more costly but I would actually buy the whole screen. In the UK you can get them for about £150 but you just do all the work from the back, move your circuit boards over. The whole screen assembly comes with the metal bezel so if you wanted to you could actually buy the black version.

Also, the 9305 and 9300 are different so make sure you get the 9305 version.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Skander1998:
Lol, "cracking the display" while attempting the glass cheap fix is not a problem, you will be replacing whole screen unit anyways if that happens, if you succeed like many people, you save yourself some hundred bucks.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] chippyuk:
Down to budget and preference!

I have the budget so I would not even consider just replacing the glass, others may not but then if something goes wrong they will not have any choice.

But my main point is that Samsung do not supply just the glass on its own so imho you will probably not be getting gorilla glass.

Im choosing between the Galaxy S III(Telus) and the One X+. I want to run custom roms, CM/AOKP/Liquid(not sure which)..Im currently on the Telus SII but ive got a free upgrade this Dec.

1.) Are there any limitations with using roms on this device...or can i just flash Recover(Odin)+Rom+Modem and be done and easy?

2.) Ive read some mixed reviews that the pentil screen kind of sucks, any input on that?

3.) Any other issues with this device I should know about?

Ive read around as much as i can, but just wanna make sure!

Thx!

Loving my new sg3, was easy to root, and flash, and it's fast, even nandroids happen fast, I'm running CM10 (jellybean) only thing I can't use is netflix, haven't looked to see if it has a fix yet.

Teleported from CM10 on my SG3
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CamFlawless:
I came to the s3 from an iPhone 4 and could not be happier, which would have surprised me 4 months ago.

I can't do any comparison to the One X+, but the S3 is extremely zippy stock, and even more so once you're rooted. The camera on it is fantastic and is probably my personal favorite feature. I can see where people complain about the screen. It is a bit dark and difficult to see in direct sunlight, but it's definitely high quality.

Rooting and flashing custom ROMs was easy even for me without having any experience with android. I would definitely recommend it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Rekzer:
Are telus users using all the roms there without issue? Are there any limitations on what can be flashed?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] amgpower63:
Exactly my situation. Switched from the iphone 4 and I had no problem getting used to rooting and flashing my gs3. It's so much easier than jailbreaking (ios devs take a while and it's really hard to downgrade blahblah).

I updated my s2 for the one x when it came out and loved the look and feel of it but ROMs like aokp, miui didn't work all the greatest when I had it not sure if now its the same. Didn't like waiting for the updates and for s-off. Not sure if I'll be the same with the one x+ but not sure if I would go with a HTC phone anytime soon. Love my s3 so much more and the roms, also super easy to root and everything.

So no ones heard anything about what i just quoted? Just wanna make sure!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] crawlgsx:
The only differences I believe would be APN (network) settings. You can add Telus APN settings to any rom.

Since your free upgrade is in December I'd wait for the new HTC droid dna (dlx) looks like it's going to be very nice phone! 1080p screen, 5inch is just a bit bigger than s3.

I have both one x and s3, I like the screen on one x more than the s3. It's very easy to flash ROMs on s3 and all the att ones will work on telus. Rogers bell and telus have the exact same phone. I use telus phone on Rogers network and I have tried most of the ROMs here, they all flash easy, some have minor bugs but they do work. You can flash any ROM that's made for the i747, as long as its not made for the international s3 you can flash it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] crawlgsx:
Isn't the Droid DNA a Verizon phone?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Rekzer:
Telus PROBABLY wont get that. My main concern is getting roms on there. Also, It looks like Rogers gets the same model #, meaning if i ever switch, i can flash their modem and voila..rogers phone.

I went and checked out an SIII, it had a really nice screen, the SII from Telus/Tmo/etc in North america all had screen blotches and lines, S3 seems to have none of that!

i have a sandisk 2gb sd card and another 8gb sandisk card, but one of my friends scrapped a 16gb internal sd card out of an htc surround7. the 2gb and 8gb cards work perfectly fine in my epic 4g touch running blazer rom and either agats kernel or the kuban kernel, but the 16gb card wont mount in the phone, and if i pull the card out, it causes the phone to reboot. ive done the same thing on my friends evo 3d and my brothers galaxy s3, and had the same problem. it also wont mount on windows 7, 8 or linux mint. any ideas on the problem/ how to get the card to work?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jay7264:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] someguyatx:
I don't think these can be fixed. They are really cheap to replace though. I think my sandisk 16gb was about $10 from eBay.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dougiefresh181:
Eh no biggie. It was free anyway. What's a good price for a class 10 32gb? I saw a sandisk in target for $44 which seems steep, and RadioShack had a class for $22
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] someguyatx:
The current rate seems to be about $1 per GB. You can probably pick one up on eBay for less though usually lots of auctions on these. My sandisk is a class 4 but speeds are good for my use
