[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Merckle:
Am I the only one having issues with Emojis?

I have tried send some to iphones and android users. Both on I05 and I06 with some going thru and some not and none at all.

I have called sprint to reset my settings for messaging and then they worked then all of a sudden they stopped again.

I have tried GoSMS Pro and Handcent with the same results.

Any thoughts?

As you can see here the nexus 4 scores much lower than the galaxy s3 running the dual core s4. These benchmarks shouldn't even be taken with a grain of salt if the dual core s4 out performs the quad core by such a large margin. Now I know this involves the 4, but I wonder if the same could be applied to the nexus 10. For example the nexus 10's sunspider benchmark is about half that of the chromebook and they have the same cpu at the same clock speed.

Look here how much higher the optimus g scores than the nexus 4.

[Nexus 10 General] MentaLrz:
My S3 is a quad not a dual. PS, note the resolutions?
[Nexus 10 General] tcb4:
I know the international version is quad core, but it doesn't use the s4 quad. The tmobile galaxy s3 uses snapdragon s4 dual core. The resolutions are the same I believe due to the three buttons for home and such on the display. Also the resolution wouldn't affect sunspider or other cpu benchmarks.
[Nexus 10 General] ian1:
On the nexus 4 the cpu under clocks itself because it gets too hot.
[Nexus 10 General] tcb4:
I didn't read anything where they mentioned the cpu underclocking itself. How can this be true if the optimus g is almost it's clone and doesn't have these issues? If I could get some links it would be greatly appreciated.
[Nexus 10 General] akash3656:
It is in that very (mini) review you posted from anandtech, I am a huge follower of them, just Ctrl+F the word hot, I bet you will find out where they mentioned that the nexus 4 runs hot.
[Nexus 10 General] tcb4:
I searched for the word hot in their review and it didn't find any results. Either way does it mention that it underclocks due to the heat?
[Nexus 10 General] jm6001:
I have to believe that the performance in only going to get much much better with future updates from Google.. The result clearly show how premature the kernel is for 4.2.. Show in the N10 and the N4
[Nexus 10 General] philosopher09:
It's quite possible that the benchmarks produce BS results.
[Nexus 10 General] tkoreaper:
Im with you this... I highly doubt the iphone 5 outperforms my S3.
[Nexus 10 General] hit173:
Damn my infinity almost topped the iphone 5 in browser mark, here are some quadrant n sunspider. I was thinking of selling this beast 4 the n10 but nvm..
[Nexus 10 General] hit173:
Oh wait i did lol didnt notice by 6,000 points haaa iphone5 lol
[Nexus 10 General] tcb4:
Lol, what's your clock speed?

I hope the nexus 10 gets a bump to 2.0 ghz by some dev. That just sounds killer.
[Nexus 10 General] hit173:
1.8GHz
[Nexus 10 General] tcb4:
Ha ha, we'll I am tempted to pick up an infinity, but I really want the developer support that will come with a nexus device.
[Nexus 10 General] Fissurez:
in all honesty, i would not put it past the iphone 5 to beat the S3.

even if you ignore the benchmarks, which a lot seem to imply that the A6 gives even the 5250 in the nexus 10 a run for it's money in some (rare?) cases. (although the case of optimization argument may be made),

note that the PowerVR graphics chip in the iphone 5 is absolutely fantastic, as it seems apple are focusing more on bumping up graphics than CPU in the new A6.

(you should also bare in mind that it seems the A6 is A-15 based, compared to the A9 in the S3 international)

speaking of which. i'm pretty sure the dual core S4 in the S3 you have would be slower in most cases than the i9300 anyways,

so this idea that your s3 could beat the iphone 5 in raw power is a bit hopeful,

and definitely not in terms of games, loading apps ect, purely because of the whole iOS has less devices, ect ect.
[Nexus 10 General] tcb4:
you may be right there, but I think the nexus 4's gpu is better than the one in the iphone 5. I mean look at glbenchmark, the nexus 4 has a higher fps running at a higher a resolution(egypt hd onscreen). Also the cpu is a quad core krait so I highly doubt the iphone can compete there. The only reason I bring this up is because you were claiming that the iphone 5 has a fanatastic gpu, when in reality it's very good, but I'm not sure it's the best.. You could argue that the iphone 5 scores higher in the fill rate and the triangle throughput, but I feel like these ones may be easier to rig as they are the ones that don't actually render a game.
[HTC Sensation] nkewk:
Heu everyone im just wondering which rom is the most stable with Good battery life and really fast? Currently im on ELEGANCIA rom with a top performance mod and i think its working quite good but maybe i can get it even more faster? :)
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
Hi there. The thing is this question is very subjective because we all have different favorite roms. I personally love jelly bean by Dragun Korr. It's fast and smooth like butter and I've gotten excellent battery life out of it. It has tons of customization ability! However someone else might disagree and recommend there favorite rom. We have so many really great developers out there it's really best you try out several different roms for yourself and do some experimenting and draw your own conclusion. Your really missing out if you simply take someone's word and not experiment for yourself! Each rom has different attributes to it and only you know what meets your own personal needs. This is the fun part, trying new things. I'm sure after you try several different roms out you will soon find YOUR favorite. And that's what matters. You will likely get a lot of different answers on this post but your really selling yourself short if you don't try several out for yourself! See what gives you the fastest and best battery life. This is really the best way. I hope this post is helpful to you.. remember have fun, experiment, try many roms out and soon you will have the best rom choice for you. Something that will meet your needs. It's not dependant on what others say, it's what suites YOU best. Remember to do your nandroid backup when you flash so you can easily restore your previous rom if you get in a pinch. Hope this post was helpful to you and I wish you the best. happy flashing!

[HTC Sensation] hedifezai:
I agree but i have tested many Roms, actually i have elegancia sense 4.1 but for better battery i think 3.1 is best than 3.6, 4.0 and 4.1. I use 4.1 because it is pretty and supports usb host mode.
[HTC Sensation] nnila:
For best battery you cant beat the AOPK ROM (which lacks Sense).

It is crazily smooth, battery life is insane and it can be mod'd to high heaven.

Before that I used to use DarkForest ROM which I liked but battery life on it was no where near what I now get.

Lack of Sense seems to make the whole phone run significantly smoother and to not be munching resources/data/GPS etc in the background ever unless I ask it to.
[HTC Radar] dewars14:
Hi everyone!!!

I have a HTC Radar 4g tmobile. The device is unlocked for a long time, but i'm interested in jailbreak now. I don't know what is the best method for this. I have seen the HSPL method, but my device is an american device and i think that it's not possible. I would like your help, because I am a little lost.

Thanks!!!

I generally don't like using cases on my phones but since I paid so much for my Xperia S I have been using one. I was curious how people who don't use cases on it have had their phone look like. How has the Xperia S survived the day to day normal wear and usage?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mharckk:
i dont have a case, cause i dont want to cover my beautiful XS..hehe..but i have a pouch for my XS.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mrsatan:
What pouch.

Sent from hell using Xperia-S(atan)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Sirence:
I didn't use a case at first but a porch, and I hit a table with the lower left edge of my s (really soft, I didn't even drop it, I just put it down quickly) and it cracked and the paint peeled of. I drew over it with nail polish but I have been using a hard case ever since PLUS a porch.

And I still get a lot of scratches on the housing where the cut outs of my case are (mostly around the USB and headphone plugs, even though I treat my phone really carefully)

I wouldn't recommend using the phone without a case, it scratches way too easy.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Theonlyzii:
Man this phone body is like a tin can :p

Me myself didn't like a case as well :D

I usually put my phone in the side pocket alongside with headset and it scratched. Hopefully i have it black so the scratch is not really visible.

And do not ever put your phone in the same pocket with your car keys. In my own experience it can dent your phone pretty bad :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mharckk:
a cotton pouch (black), as protection of my XS when my phone is in my pocket.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Sirence:
Lucky you, I have the white version, every scratch is visible :/

Nail polish all the way... In a year my complete phone will be painted in nail polish :D

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Hermantje:
I got a white Sony Xperia S a couple of days after the release. Never used any cases, I really hate 'em unless they add functionality.

I dropped my Xperia S only once on tiles, but it wasn't a very high drop. You can only see the scuffs if you look for them. They're really tiny.

Also, the only other scratch I have on my Xperia S is just my fault. I tried putting it in a tin case-like thing I had on a tripod which I had made for a smaller phone, but what I didn't realise was that the edges were very sharp.

My conclusion: Unless you like dropping your phone on the floor or scratch it on purpose with very sharp items, the Xperia S probably won't have any scratches at all. Even in white. The screen too is fine and the Sony (Ericsson) logo on the back isn't scratched either.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Felimenta97:
I've had mine for 5 months. It once dropped from a very low height facing down, so the screen kinda had a "scatter" from the side (volume up height) and the line goes until the very top of the USB port. It is only seeable at certain angles. There are also tiny scratches, but they are on the screen protector, so.... It once dropped from a slightly higher height than the first, but nothing happened.

"What really matters in this world, anyway?"
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mrsatan:
I am not surprised that the white one has scratch problems. My buddy had a white HTC Hero with teflon coating and it looked pretty bad after a year or so.

My Xperia s has a thin case so the outside is mint. The screen has really minute scratches that all screens get that you can only see in certain light but no biggy. I never rock a screen protector. I would like to go case free but seeing peoples comments it makes me a bit nervous.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Felimenta97:
Mine is a white one. I don't have a single scratch (none that I can see, at least). And my screen "scratches" are like yours, but they are on the shatter proof that come already applied to the device.

"What really matters in this world, anyway?"
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mrsatan:
Yeah my screen scatches are literally almost impossible to see. I removed my shatter proof sheet the day I got the phone though.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Hermantje:
The Xperia S already has a screen protector on it from the factory. Going case free isn't a problem for me at all :)

I wouldn't remove this protector though. I read somewhere that it could make capacitive button sensitivity less.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kub4nek:
I use some cheap pocket-like condom to keep my sola semi-safe.

Back in 2010 when I just bought a brand new HTC Desire I immediately wanted to protect it. I mean PROTECT IT.

I bought the Krusell Orbiflex thingie (was like uberexpensive) and was pretty happy with it until... after few months I realized that the screen was actually scratched by the case itself!

Then I sent over the HTC to the service point (because of broken camera or something). I repeated the procedure 5 times, so they swapped the unit into a new one.

I was happy and stuff and put the new, shiny device into the same case :).

After few weeks my brand new HTC was scratched again in the very same spot beacuse of the case. AGAIN.

Maybe a little bit OT but kind of funny story it was :P.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Hermantje:
In other words, you can be too careful :P
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mrsatan:
No removing it makes it more sensitive. Trust me I have done it on 3 different Xperia S phones.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sinple:
I use a nillkin case, but the top and bottom. Of the phone have so many scratches now. Hence, changed to a tpu Gel case instead.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Azyx:
wel, I don't really like the screen protector at all and even less a case.

I'm happy with a naked Xperia U, and whenever it get any hard scratches the phone will bet getting old already.

People don't stay with their phones for much longer anyway, so i don't think it's a good thing use cases...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] d4c:
My only scratch is off all places on the glass in the centre of he screen on my s3 after taking it into a repair shop without my case on. Was just glad to have my phone back so let the guy off with the scratch... normally use a otterbox defender case.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikexilva:
I don't know if it was coincidence, but today I had a hard hang that I had to remove the battery to restart my Galaxy Nexus (I just waited about 20secs) at about 15PM GMT, and when later on I was talking to my wife she said it happened something strange to her Nexus S just 2 hours before my problem.

In Galaxy Nexus I was posting 7 pics to G+ via HSDPA, but when I noticed it was public I tried to cancel (pressing back several times) but phone just stopped responding to back/home/power, and after a few secs went all black.

In Nexus S all apps were asking to "force close" and when she turned off the phone she couldn't turn it on right away, just a few minutes later...

Since something similar just happened once in last year to me, I thought to share (could there be some worm using an undisclosed vulnerability affecting stock android devices?)

Was this coincidence or did anyone else notice anything strange today in Android phones?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robogoflow:
Probably Apple.

Try installing antivirus like lookout and scan your phones.

If it happens more that twice in a day its a problem.

Now that android is getting big and still fairly new, alot of hackers are using apps to target phones.

If you downloaded a shady app like "hot girls xxx wallpaper" or even "easy diet foods" it would look like a normal app but probably contains malware. Hackers tend to target popular things so they can affect alot of people not a few.

remove all phishy apps, scan with lookout, reboot. then you should be okay.

Jelly bean has alot of security fixes so this would be more likely on 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich or 3.7 Gingerbread.

hello i need your help with modifying the systemui.apk from touchwiz.

to start off i have decomplied the systemui.apk and framework-res.apk in my android dev linux vmware machine, i did load in the framworks + the twframework.

what i am trying to do is remove the brigness slider and the quick setting toggles from the notifaction bar and i did so by removing these lines from layout/tw_status_bar_expaneded.xml and i edited it on eclipse

<com.wanamlite.systemui.quickpanel.PowerWidget android:id="@id/exp_power_stat" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginTop="@dimen/notification_panel_header_height" />

and

</LinearLayout>

<View android:background="#ff091a24" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="1.0dip" />

</LinearLayout>

after i did that i recomiled it with apktool and it had no problems, i copyed the orignal androidmanifest and meta-inf into the modified apk, zipaligned and made a flashable zip

when i booted the phone i had no status bar and the systemui was crashing so i restored it

Hello guys,

I am such a newbie and recently I flashed Lightning Sense 4.1 Rom. Before that I was using Viper Rom and it had the switch for 2g/3g but Lightning ROM does not. It was very useful for me since I need to stay on 2g most of the time cause of battery problems. Is there a way to add it into the rom that I currently use by flashing a new version or something? :confused:

Thanks.

EDIT: The title is wrong. It was supposed to be for Quick settings... Sorry my bad :)

Hi yes you can change it by going to*#*#4636#*#* press on phone information then press on your current signal a menu will come down, change your signal, scroll down press refresh. Your done. You can do this with ANY rom. Hope I helped! Best wishes

neither of the above users are correct.

It doesn't matter what carrier it is made for, you can use it with MetroPCS. you might want to remove the Sprint specific apks from /system/app, but other than that, it will continue to work with MetroPCS.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Max_Pain:
You said custom roms. If you get the Sprint OTA you will lose root.

Understand that the settings that make your phone connect to MetroPCS,

Send and receive text messages and get 3g access can not be affected or overwritten by flashing any kind of rom or by receiving an ota.

However, mms requires modification to the APN, which requires root access.
