Reasons to buy

CyanogenMod+AOSP = 2 x speed of light + efficient CPU usage with S4 [S4-quadcore+1,5GHz >>>>>>> Exynos]

Opensource

Fast [or even leaked] Android upgrade

More life time

ps: S4 isn't better then Exynos just because of 1,5GHz, it's also because it's opensource, making it more efficient when modding, improving battery life, performance, everything at the same time.

About design: I think that the design is better. The S III looks like a fat boy, if you look at the screen. the corners aren't a perfect line, and I think it's ugly. Looks like a really big phone.

Well, I guess it's enough to convince me to buy N4, but I probably need to wait 5-4 months to launch here and even wait for it to low the price. So it should take about a year...

oh, it's also faster, I'm sure about that. Even the Galaxy Nexus + JB is faster and smoother. Even minecraft runs better [much better, at probably 60fps] on the Galaxy Nexus than the SIII [way lower FPS]

I wonder if the n4 has zero shutter lag and smart stay
[Galaxy S III General] jetbruceli:
You guys know why I won't buy an n4? Because if you told lg to make a phone that cost the Consumer $300 and put these specs in it, well your gonna have some cheap parts for the rest. Lg sucks and that's the only reason enough to not buy one
[Galaxy S III General] nodstuff:
Zero shutter lag first debuted on the galaxy nexus, it was an ICS feature. So yes, of course the N4 has it. :rolleyes:

Smart stay is a stupid feature.

b-but the phone understands you.

There isn't a single samsung feature that is useful for me.

This morning I power off mi non AT&T stock Atrix 2 because the Music Player couldn't find any of my music, and then turn it on. When it showed the screen I proceed to change the wallpaper... and it rebooted itself!

Now, evry time I power off/on the device, it loads the system (Ginger) but the screen is unresponsive. when the display power off, there is no way to turn it on again to unlock the phone!

I haven't rooted or flashed my phone...

Anyone can help me with this, please?

I'd suggest you perform a factory reset. Note: you'll lose all your data (ie: pictures, apps, settings, etc.). You can follow this to restore your phone:

Hey Guys and Gals :)

This morning my phone was completely drained so i plugged it into the wall plug to charge up. However it did not turn on and begin charging until i did a battery pull.

When it began charging, there was the little yellow triangle (normally there when my device has been drained). A couple of minutes after, the battery began charging BUT it was nearly full :eek:

So i switched on the device, went to Applications>Settings>About Phone>Status

There the battery read 96% and charging from AC. When i unplugged it, the numbers began literally jumping backwards and the phone died within two minutes.

I tried charging again and had to do a battery pull again. For good measure, i did a factory reset but the issue was there still, only, when it is plugged in, the battery slowly DECREASES :S maybe like 1% every 2 minutes.

Can someone please help me and let me know if it is a battery issue or a phone hardware issue itself?

Im running Gingerbread btw (downgraded from ICS about 3 weeks now because it sucked....and i missed GB lol)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
Easiest way to check is to use another battery in your phone and/or to test your battery in another phone.

So you only need to find someone with a compatible phone/battery.

Or go to a store and ask for help.

Good luck !
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jgjd691995:
Or use a volt meter to test if your battery is dead ie <3.7, the s 2 tends to exaggerate the value more often than shrink the percentage of battery, but your case is a bit extreme, it might have to do from going from ics to gb, don't take my word but apparently its bad to downgrade from ics to gb

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Guestk0024:
Hey all,

So I've ran into a snag on my XT910 over the past few days.

Randomly, the device just dropped signal one evening and it never recovered it. Having troubleshooted with my network (O2 UK) and trying other SIM cards in the device, I have narrowed it down to the "Unknown baseband" or "No IMEI" symptoms found on these forums.. The device downright refuses to read (or even acknowledge the existance of) any SIM cards at all. It doesn't prompt for one to be inserted; it just says "No Service" where my network name should be, with an antenna and red "x" where the signal bars should be. Trying a working micro SIM from my girlfriends phone yields the same result. It doesn't even know it is in there.. In "About phone" it says Unknown baseband and dialing *#06# from my device gives a blank IMEI. Adding/viewing contacts on the SIM returns an error. I went so far as to get a brand new SIM from my network - still no dice.

The device is less than a month old and still under Moto warranty. However, the company I bought it from have neglected to provide a VAT receipt and I'm having trouble getting it off them. Moto have agreed to repair/replace the phone, but on the condition I have this receipt and send a copy of it to them. I really need this phone working, as it's the lifeline to my work, so I am willing to try reflashing/rooting the device ROM or radio as need be.

After some reading I have followed QPST guides to re-input the IMEI on my device, however it still exists and is correct. I have hard reset the phone, booted into recovery and wiped cache/data but no change.. I am considering the method of re-flashing the official OTA update for ICS, as I've read many users have this issue after upgrading, here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1849744 - that is the correct ROM for my phone, but as I am already on that ROM I do not know whether flashing it on top will break things - ultimately brick it?

The device was (and still is) on 672.180.41.XT910.Retail.en.EU. I have not flashed any custom ROMs or rooted it. I have made no software or firmware changes to the device.

Please can someone help?! I do not mind getting my hands dirty and even voiding the Moto warranty if it fixes it (I would also be prepared to root it) but I am at a loss here - all pointers go to hardware fault and if that is indeed what it is, I would prefer somebody back up my assumption so I can send it to Moto knowing there was nothing I can do, rather than being a simple ROM flash away from having my device back..
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Vatazhka:
Your phone may be damaged either physically (e.g. broken contacts SIM card slot) or software-wise (e.g. damaged PDS partition).

I'd go for a reflash, though - at least when properly executed it won't worsen your phone's condition. First, get full 672.180.41.XT910.Retail.en.EU flash file. Then, flash it using RSD Lite.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Guestk0024:
Thank you so much for this.

If it doesn't work by reflashing, can I still send it to Motorola under warranty for a hardware fix?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Guestk0024:
Hey,

I've just reflashed with RSD and I still get "Unknown baseband version" and no IMEI on the device. I guess it must be a hardware fault somewhere along the line.. :( Thank you regardless - and if you have any further suggestions then please do let me know.

install baseband via custom recovery. they are flasheable zip
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Guestk0024:
Firstly, thank you to all who replied to or considered my plea.

Secondly, after extensive research and some testing on my part I have found this is a seemingly irresolvable hardware (or very heavily damaged software) problem. Through various threads online I have read about people getting this mostly after they upgrade their Razr to ICS. It doesn't seem to be limited to one specific baseband/regional version of the device, as customers on Verizon in the States have had the same issue I have in the UK with a SIM-free phone.

I have sent the device off to Motorola for repair/replacement. I will report back when I get the device back.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Jorge_Amaya:
si I guess it never returned from tha one trip to the repair service?

...im hvinga similar problem with the xt890 (moto RAZR i)

updated to 4.4.2 kitkat, and it lost its anthena. like forever.

since then, spent nights surfing sesrching for a clue. nothing.

even unlocked the bootloader. it ended with the never endings WARNING BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED thing. sometimes i can bypase it buy antherna is still gone.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] NeilMonday:
I have been looking for an AOSP ROM for the SGH-T889, but I have not found one yet. Does anyone know of an AOSP build for the Note II?

I haven't found any, so I wanted to build my own. It seems like all that I need is to:

1) get the AOSP source from google

2) copy drivers from opensource.samsung.com/ (search for sgh-t889) into the AOSP tree.

3) build

4) install

Is this all that needs to be done? Or is there more that is needed to do this? I have built ASOP for Nexus S, but not for anything else.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] minhajmsd:
Unfortunately its not that easy to build AOSP ROMs for devices like these. Source from samsung may contain some drivers but not all of them since OEMs tend to hold some back. You would have to fix such problems which honestly is a headache. You would also need to build a working kernel.

If you want an AOSP ROM just get a Nexus because this is not a device for AOSP ROMs. You will lose the functionality of the s-pen or other features you liked when you got this device unless they are ported(which again, is a headache to do!).

Galaxy S3 - I747 - URGENT!!!!!

WIFI FREQUENCY BAND (feature) MISSING AFTER UPDATE!! -------->Kernel Version: 3.0.8-985684 - BUILD # IMM76D.I747UCALH9

Under the 'WiFi Advanced Settining' Menu >

These are the default options which are supposed to be available :

- Network notification:

- Keep Wi-Fi during sleep

- Auto Connect

- Wi-Fi Frequency Band: Specify Automatic, 5 GHz, or 2.4 GHz frequency bands <-- THIS OPTION (feature) IS MISSING!!!

- Mac Address

-IP Address

Why did samsung remove this very important feature (Wi-Fi Frequency Band) with this new update?

How am I supposed to chose between Auto, 2.4GH and 5GH connection now?

Will you put it back?

Any OAT to fix the problem?

CAN ANYONE AT SAMSUNG EXPLAIN THIS?

I HAVE CALLED AND CHATED W/ SAMSUNG SUPPORT, BUT NOBODY CAN GIVE ANY INFO.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TRusselo:
So are you saying that you can no longer see 5 GHz bands? Or only the option is gone?

And which update did you install? Ics or the leaked jb? If you installed the leak jellybean update don't expect any support from Samsung. it's a leak.... Not final, not supported to be in the public's hands, not even known to customer support.

if the option is gone it should be set to automatic which would be both bands, look in the network list for your 5ghz band.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] arsrio:
It was an OTA from AT&T, that was released about a couple of weeks ago: I747UCALH9

The option to choose from auto, 2.4GHz or 5G is gone. But why to eliminate it?

I still connect at 5G, but want to have the option to choose from as I had before.

And why nobody at Samsung or AT&T know anything about it?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] g2tegg:
Just means you can't filter the scan between 2.4 or 5Ghz. You will still be able to connect to either one.

There is an app that will give you much more accurate results while its scanning anyways.

@OP

I have unrooted AT&T i747 as well. Since that update, I've lost the option to specify 2.4 or 5.0 GHz bandwidth, plus I no longer see 5.0 or can connect to 5.0 bandwidth. I can only connect at 2.4.

This was noted on this forum when the update came out a month ago.

There was a solution that someone came up with, but it required root access. I had wanted to keep my phone stock until after the official JB release.

Further, it's been reported that on the international SIII, with the official JB update, driving mode is taken away. I don't understand updates that take away options features that work. I'd like to see a solution for the unrooted phone that brings back the ability to specify WiFi bandwidth.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] arsrio:
I turned off the 2.4GHz band on my router and left only the 5GHz available. I was able to connect w/ the 5G band and it's a good connection,

If you can only connect w/ 2.4GHz you should contact Samsung, something is wrong.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sailindawg:
It's entirely software related. The update took away the driver / OS API that enabled that option. Why? No idea other than to dumb down the phone.

I can remedy this by rooting and installing the bandwidth selection app that was posted earlier. I saw that individual's thread right after the initial update. This is my first android phone and I would like to keep it stock for as long as possible to see what ICS offers as well as JB. Only after running stock for a bit, will rooting make sense to me as well as flashing a custom rom. I'll be able to appreciate more what the custom rom offers. I'm not a developer, just an end user.
