[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] WhoWhere:
So far so good on my end. I just made a call and didn't run into any issues other then the occasional echo that is common on a lot of VOIP services. Do you know what others did to trigger any of the problems they ran into?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] androidtouchdev:
Unfortunately the only info I have are the 2 reviews which state:

"When it work, its great But after a min, other party can only hear static. App freezes and completely shut off the system volume."

"All I get is static."

Assuming you don't eventually run into those issues I wonder what else could be different. Are you running the stock ROM on your S3?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] WhoWhere:
I'll run it all day tomorrow just to be safe. It's a bit late to call many people here. I'm running a stock based ICS ROM at the moment. Wicked V7 to be specific.

---------- Post added at 10:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:48 PM ----------

Okay, I was able to do some more tests. I didn't run into the static unless I was far away from my router. That is more than understandable though. I did notice a long delay on the other party's voice though. It seemed almost as long as the delay I ran into when I was talking to someone in Japan. Also, as I'm typing this I've noticed a screen flicker that wasn't there before. I'm not sure if that is related or not.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] md1008:
I sent you an PM for its worth I did a lot of testing for Talkatone on the Samsung Exhibit II 4G and the HTC mytouch 4G

Also for the users having issues were they rooted? for what ever reason root would often interferer with call quality. some ROMs worked flawless while others were useless. I also had the same issue with GrooVe IP.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] androidtouchdev:
I just sent you a pm with the details to install the app. I wish I had more details but I don't as they did a drive by review without any email. And I do agree on the ROM playing an important role as nearly every support email I get related to audio issues it turns out the user is running a non-stock ROM. Please let me know how the app works when you get a chance to try it.

Thank you!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] youngchris29:
I would love to test the app for you. You can pm me the info and I'll let you know my experience
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] androidtouchdev:
I just sent you a pm with the details. Thanks!

Quick status update: I've now had reports from testers using all sorts of ROM's including stock and so far no one has been able to reproduce the "only hear static" issue. If anyone else wants to give it a try please let me know.

Thanks!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] WhoWhere:
I sent you a PM with my results from today's tests.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tramane:
I have a Tmobile s3

I will gladly test as well
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] androidtouchdev:
Just sent you a pm with the details. Thanks!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] byteless:
Really don't see any real issue.

exactly like "WhoWhere" mentioned the echo, I experienced the same.

I accidentally walked out from the wifi zone while on call and it didn't hang up or any warning or anything, it just quite and then I realize that the call maybe dropped as I am not in wifi zone.

Other than that its pretty solid no crash or anything.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] youngchris29:
Sent you a pm back with my results
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] scifan:
Initial calls for a couple of minutes sounds fine... (no static).

I'll test it some more...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] md1008:
I confirm no issues
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tramane:
I have had a few issues where, if the other user didn't pick up the phone and it should send me to voicemail.

The app itself freezes and locks up my entire phone.

I hold the power button for 10 seconds straight and reboot it
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] androidtouchdev:
Is that on the stock ROM?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tramane:
No I am on CM10

I can flash to a stock based ROM like Frosty and do more testing if you like.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] elesbb:
Hmmm no issues here running cm10 "stable" with ktoonsez kernel. All seems well. With the exception of a hint of delay when talking. (Maybe Google voices servers) but it's functioning as it should as far as I can tell.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] bulsatar:
Evening Everyone,

Spent the day playing with rooting my tablet (longer than expected but, eh). Ended up going with this rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1877217 and installing an embedded clockwork so I didn't have to hassle with an imaged sdcard all day. Everything worked great, some flaws with the rom but it is generally really stable.

Started playing with the settings and all of a sudden I got a message that the system UI has quit working. Now the status, notification bars and navigation buttons have disappeared. So far I have:

Rebooted

Opened Trebuchet and cleared the cache (and rebooted)

played with the settings to try and at least get the tablet bar to activate, it didn't (and rebooted)

Anyone have any solutions on how to get it back? I haven't tried reinstalling the rom as I wanted to try you guys first before I go and redo everything yet again.

Thanks for your help!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ShinnAsuka:
try holding the power button until the menu pops up and there should be something along the lines of "toggle status bar"
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] bulsatar:
I have an option to "Expand Notifications" and it does drop down the extended notification bar, however it disappears right after use and I still do not have status or navigation buttons.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] bulsatar:
It is acting like I have full screen time out activated, but I have checked over and over and it is

not

had to set the full screen timeout, exit to home, go back into settings and clear the full screen and violin, it is back...

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] morzinbo:
So I did the odin flash to 4.1.1 as soon as it was available (long story: flashed the 4.1.1 odin, then tried to root with toolkit, failed to the point where i was only getting bootloops, flashed all the way back to root66_SPR_L710VPALEN.7z, factory reset, let the updates occur on their own, rerooted, flashed rooted 4.1.1 odin), and I noticed that whenever I attempt to play Dead Trigger and the Shadowgun: Deadzone beta (Yes, I am aware that its a beta) that both games have the most horrible framerate lag, to the point where Dead Trigger is completely unplayable, and Shadowgun maintains old frames outside of the main oval area of the your POV, as well as extreme lag when simply moving around. I have attempted to play both on the lowest graphics settings possible, but I'm not sure if there's something I could have done wrong with the flash, or if its just not working well with jellybean, or what else could be the possible cause of these issues. Thank you for your time and assistance.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkc888:
I just got my note 2 yesterday. Whenever I set it down on a hard surface a little bit abruptly. It restarts!

And there's a certain place in the back of the device I can tap to restart it.

Is this normal? Are these devices really that fragile????

Mines an international one from France so warranty is going to be a pain ughhh...

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoJo2211:
sounds like you got a bad unit. :(
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
It could be the battery is shifting around when you set it down hard.

Normally I'd just say send it back, but if a warranty claim is going to be problematic, you could try padding the back cover with some paper to hold the battery in place a bit tighter and see if this 'fixes' your issue.

Regards,

Dave
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whmcal:
Just done same test three times with my unit and it remained on, no restarts. You just got yours...so maybe you are still in the exchange period. I would get an exchange because it is not normal behaviour. You should have no problem getting an exchange. Just try to avoid telling the retailer that you've also been getting the problem when setting it down on a hard surface 'a little bit abruptly'. :D They will gladly play the "you've damaged it" card
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MohJee:
If you can't get it exchanged, then use a thin tape or something of the sort to hold the battery in place.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ohkuni:
Wow this seems to have worked, this is the first day it hasn't rebooted since I got it! I did notice the battery moved around slightly when I opened it up, so I'm guessing that was the issue.

Do you think leaving it in there is dangerous? Like it will overheat and catch on fire or something?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cotf2113:
JUST Found a Solution

So I didn't start having this problem until almost 2 years of owning the phone, but since then, it's been happening quite frequently. Sometimes it restarts and sometimes it simply turns off (this is quite annoying being that I miss many texts/work emails).

Well I decided to do some research and I came across some people saying it could be the battery coming loose for a split second.

I decided to try folding a piece of paper a couple centimeters (about the depth of the battery) and jamming it under the battery to push it up against the terminals. Much to my surprise, my phone hasn't restarted when bumped since!!! (Fingers crossed!!!)

I hope this helps, although I know this is a little bit late for most people, being that the Note 4 is already coming out. Better late than never!

I just got a Straight Talk Samsung Galaxy SII Model SGH-S959G and their is basically nothing as far as hacks for this phone, yet.

My first question is what needs to be done to obtain root?
[General Questions and Answers] IndigoAK:
You can root this phone using Entropy's kernel: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1289460

And you can flash it with Odin: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1738841

I wouldn't though. You can't install a customer recovery on this device right now and nobody has figured it out yet (that I know of).
[General Questions and Answers] Entropy512:
Are you sure my kernel is safe to use on this device???

There is little known about this device... Going by name alone is a VERY BAD IDEA on Galaxy S2 era devices. Flashing I9100/I777 stuff to any Qualcomm based device would guarantee a hardbrick, and I think going the other way would hardbrick you too.

Since it's 4.3" screen it might be an Exynos device, but no guarantees. Specs/features don't mention NFC at all, so it may be more similar to the I9100 than I777.
[General Questions and Answers] IndigoAK:
I've been using your kernel for over a month without any major issues. The phone boots fine, plays games. The only issue I've run across is that sometimes you have turn the wifi on and off, but I don't know if this is the device itself (you mention something about wifi deep sleep in your thread) or if it's just an issue with my router (I've experienced similar things in the past with other routers and devices, so I really don't know).

About the NFC. If you remove the battery cover and look at the factory sticker for this phone, it has the same FCC designation at the i777 and the battery says NFC everywhere. I think TracFone simply has it disabled in the firmware similar to how they've locked the device from Kies and tethering.
[General Questions and Answers] r00t4rd3d:
IndigoAK, just to make sure we are on the same page, you have the SGH-S959G model?
[General Questions and Answers] Entropy512:
So why did you claim earlier no one had a custom recovery for this phone, if my kernel works fine?

It sounds like this device might be identical to the I777, so you *might* be able to flash anything meant for I777.

Have you tried flashing any ICS firmwares? Do you have a dump of the stock /system firmware?
[General Questions and Answers] IndigoAK:
Yes. This is the model I have

@Entropy: I said that because I've not seen anyone that's been able to install custom recovery for this phone. Your kernel installs and it successfully roots the phone, and the wifi works unlike the zedomax kernel, but if you enter recovery it's just the stock recovery and if you try to install recovery through ROM manager or whatever, then you can't. I might not even be doing it right. I'm not exactly an expert on this and to be perfectly honest, I'm learning as I go here since this is my first Android device. Also, I don't have a dump of the stock firmware and nobody else does either as far as I'm aware. The source code for this device is available from Samsung's open source website, but that's apparently not the same thing.

When I say fine, I mean my phone doesn't blow up or hang or generally do anything un-phony. It boots, it makes calls, it plays games and installs apps, it mounts my sdcards, it connects to my computer through USB using Windows.

The only things is doing do are NFC, tethering and connect to Kies, which as far as I know you can't do even with the stock device, so I doubt that's your kernel.
[General Questions and Answers] Entropy512:
OK that's REALLY strange, because recovery is contained within the main kernel on this generation of devices... Unless this model is a MASSIVE fluke and the recovery partition actually does something. (It doesn't on any other Exynos galaxys2-family device.)

NFC and tethering is likely to be an issue with the /system contacts...
[General Questions and Answers] IndigoAK:
Yeah, booting into recovery in your kernel gives the basic options. Reboot, reset. Nothing about flashing or backup. I haven't tried to flash the clockwork mod kernel from your thread since I've had such bad luck with kernels in general. Trying to install clockwork recovery from inside ROM Manager gives an error on reboot, but if you reboot again everything works fine, even the normal recovery
[General Questions and Answers] r00t4rd3d:
IndigoAK did you use Odin to flash the kernel ?
[General Questions and Answers] IndigoAK:
Yes. I've successfully used Odin 1.85 and Odin 3.07. Mobile Odin doesn't work (or I haven't figured out the right settings).

[General Questions and Answers] r00t4rd3d:
IndigoAK what one of Entropy's kernels did you use? The .tar one? Can you use the zip files in Odin?
[General Questions and Answers] IndigoAK:
I used the latest version available in his thread. It's from March I believe. Also, Odin doesn't support zip files when flashing from a computer, tarballs only. I couldn't for the life of me manage to make a tarball in Windows that Odin would read though, so I had a friend package it for me.
[General Questions and Answers] r00t4rd3d:
Crap, I used the tar one and flashed it. With root checker it says I dont have root but busybox is installed. When it boots it shows the yellow triangle with ! but the phone boots and works okay.

Or can I get a copy of your tar?

Edit: Link to the tar of Entropy's kernel that works with this phone.

Hey Roxanne, welcome! The best thing you can do to help us right now is leave your phone stock so we have someone who has the original files in case we screw something up.
