The nexus 4 is a much better phone. It has a quad core cpu and 2gigs of ram and a 8 megapixel camera. The galaxy nexus is a 1.2ghz dual core iirc with 1gig of ram and a 5mp camera. No brainer, get the nexus 4.

As for getting one in china maybe order it on ebay or something when it comes out?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigSash:
I've researched the S3 models and Fido frequencies to the best of my abilities. I would sure appreciate some help. LTE will apparently be available in my area soon. A Fido rep claims it already is but their network map says differently. Could someone please advise my options with respect to the models of S3 which will work on the Fido network. Is it worth purchasing an LTE capable S3 now or waiting? Fido advises they operate on 2600 mhz on LTE and 850/1900 on the other networks . I apologize if the question is silly but would sure appreciate some guidance.

Clarification

Thanks so much for the help. I had looked at this model and it seems to fit with most of the parameters required by Fido except that doesn't run on the 1900 mhz band on 3g, only at 850 mhz. What does this mean exactly? Will it still work properly or will it kick down to 2G speeds if not connected to a true LTE network?

Thanks in advance for the clarification.

I modded a package to replace the stock camera and Gallery with the 4.2 versions. This will eliminate the Gallery and camera duplication. None of this is original work. To use photosphere with this package you still need to modify your build.prop.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dudds4:
So I'm hoping I'm posting in the appropriate place, and if not please feel free to point me in the right direction. There may be threads that already exist that are what I need, but I find it so hard to find the right thread on this website so after lots of trying I figured I'd just post.

I have Samsung Galaxy S III on WIND Mobile (SGH-T999V) which is said to be identical except in name to the T-Mobile Variant. I tried a few different ways to get root, and since the first which involved CWM weren't working I ended up using Odin to install (flash?) a file called root66.tar from god knows where. I acquired root, but every time I go to flash any Mod (through recovery > apply zip from sd), whether its CM9 or an update pushed to my phone from Wind, i get a status 7 report (I think it's checking for my devices product name to see that it matches whatever the thing is designed for and it doesn't check out?)

I've heard that this is a problem with CWM and all I need to do is flash the latest CWM or a different CWM. I've tried downloading the CWM app, and manually flashing, etc etc, none of it seems to actually change my recovery. Maybe I'm just missing something, but I'm quite sure the recovery simply is not being flashed.

So I found this thread for T-Mo variant that sed to get on root explorer and delete a couple files, which I'll probably try if nobody responds quickly, and hopefully nothing bad will happen, but I wanted to confirm that this will be safe for Wind variant.

Also, I'm freaking out a little inside and want to revert back to my stock ROM, which I found. The thing is it's in zip file and i'm unable to flash .zip. My Windows computer is out of commission and I only have Linux Mint, for which Odin doesn't work, so I have this program called Heimdall. I'm wondering how to package a tar.gz file, what is a tar.gz file? Why not just use a .tar file? or a .gz file? What's the difference. Basically, when I give Heimdall my tar.gz file, whats it gonna do with it?

Any thread-pointing or explanation would be super appreciated! Thank you in advance

edit: In regards to Heimdall, I've looked at some guides, they all site older versions, which appear to be different? the only flashhing I can do is either thru a Heimdall Firmware Package, which I don't know how to make but I'd like to learn, or with a PIT, which I dont have or understand, so any help there would also be good
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
The files you are supposed to delete are safe to do so. Or you can rename them. Either way will work. Once you do this you can now install recovery from rom or goo manager. Use the app to reboot recovery as well. Very easy.

You don't flash zip files from the computer. You do that in recovery.

There are also other ways to flash. I suggest you read through my firmware thread here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1949687

Pay attention to Mobile Odin, it may be your easiest and safest way to flash stock firmware.

You got root66.tar from god knows where???

Don't take this the wrong way but it sounds like you are getting a little careless and could cause more problems than you started with.

Do not flash anything except what you find in this forum. Aside from custom roms you should find everything you need in that thread.

Id also suggest reading the stickied threads in this section as well.

Good luck!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dudds4:
Haha, I know you flash .zip from recovery. I meant I'm unable to flash .zip through recovery, and I can't use Odin to flash any .tar for example, so I thought if I could learn how to use Heimdall, learn how to package a 'Heimdall Firmware Package', that'd be safest.

Anyhow, Thank you, I will be more careful

Edit: checking back in, I went to delete the files

/system/recovery-from-boot.p

/system/install-recovery.sh

They're nowhere to be found. I looked around other places like /root/system, and /mnt/system, still nothing. Any ideas?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Sorry I really font know anything about heimdall. That's why I suggested looking into mobile odin. It will let you flash the firmware from the phone itself. The free version here on xda won't root the fw during flash like the paid version will.

If those files aren't on your phone then don't worry about them. They rewrite stock recovery every boot.

You can try this to get flashing to work in recovery:

Open /system/build.prop and wherever it says d2can, change it to d2tmo. And change T999V to just T999.

Make a copy of the original first and save to your external sdcard.

Now reboot recovery and try to flash again.

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maria_M:
Clarification

Since there have been 136 views to this post and no answers, I think I need to clarify. What I need to know is 1) does the [SCH-I705] Verizon Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 the hardware to make it capable of sending photo messages to a cell phone via photo messaging? 2) What ROM(s) do I need to accomplish this? and 3) Since my main computer is a Mac laptop and I have no access to Windows, are there step-by-step instruction a noob like me can follow to do this with IF a solution exists?

I have looked on the Google Play store and there was nothing compatible other than Text+ and that doesn't send picture messages. People at Verizon have told me that the device doesn't support what I want it to do. Having previously rooted a 1st gen Tab, I know I have options, but since I'm still a noob, I have no idea what else I need to do besides root it.

Any patience and compassion would be very much appreciated.

Thank you!
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigBot96:
I don't have an answer to the messaging issue, but just wanted to say that there is currently little to no development on that tab. A few of us here have it and are working on getting some dev done with it, but we have limited knowledge. However, if you look in my signature, you'll find a root, recovery, and bootloader unlocker. We're currently working on modified kernels and getting some CM10 or AOSP ported over. But for the time being, there are no ROMs.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] espionage724:
I'm selling stuff on eBay currently, and I should have enough money to buy the Nexus 4. All my sales are going to PayPal though.

To my knowledge, Google and PayPal don't play nicely together. eBay for instance (I guess being with PayPal) bans the use of Google Wallet on their site. Play Store doesn't allow payment with PayPal.

I could just send the funds from PayPal to my bank account, but it seems my bank doesn't want to offer me a debit card (I'll have to look back into this though) Google Wallet also doesn't seem to be able to just take funds from Bank Accounts either. I had an idea of requesting a PayPal Debit Card and just using that on Google Wallet, but I'm not entirely sure if I'll be approved (waiting to hear back from them on this, but if I'm not approved, I'd rather have a backup plan).

Any suggestions as to what I can do?

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnbyebye:
If you get a Paypal debit card, you can set it up to use your bank account as a back-up funding source if your Paypal account has no balance.

It's a debit card, not credit, so I don't see why you wouldn't be approved. The only thing is that if you're planning to purchase the N4 on opening day, the card may not arrive by then.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] espionage724:
So it seems my bank won't give me a card because of my credit score or something along those lines. I'll have to look more into this a bit later though.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacklebott:
Credit score matters with a debit card?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Makaijin:
Banks actually do a credit check nowadays just to let you open a current account. Another reason for needing a credit score with a debit card is because if Visa pre-authorises a transaction even though you don't have funds in your account, your bank has to honour the payment. This can and does does happen, if you withdraw all your money from your account at a cash machine then go and use your debit card straight away the Visa database still lags thinking you still the balance before you took your money out and authorises the payment. And guess what? The bank still debits your account, put your account in arrears, minus money in your account means lending money to you, which means they're taking bigger risks because of your crappy credit rating. Banks can't risk that can they? better safe than sorry.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThunderStick:
Banks will deny you a debit card if you are on a high risk checking account. Like if you write to many bad checks or have over drawn you're account too many times.

Credit scores may come in to play as well if you are young and have very little banking history. Debit cards are just as risky as credit cards for both the Banks and the consumer. They both allow you to spend more than what is available to you (credit limit or account balance, both can be exceeded).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] espionage724:
Ah, I see. I'm guessing my credit score might be pretty bad due to whatever a relative might of done with my personal info or something, but idk (I personally never actually signed up for a credit card); probably something I should figure out real soon...
