[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danielsf:
Hi, firstly if I was you I would read all of this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1827635. This will explain about the dangers etc of overclocking on our specific device. Then, do you have a custom recovery installed? Like CWM? If you do and if you understand all the risks associated with overclocking, then you would look here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1709686 This is siyha kernel, I trust this developer a lot, I have used his kernels ever since he first released one for the galaxy s2 a couple of years ago. You should read the full OP, and if you feel you are ready you just download the appropriate kernel zip, as in make sure it is for the galaxy s3. Also, make sure you flash the right kernel for your android version, like an ICS kernel will

not

work with a Jelly Bean rom and the other way round. Then simply flash it in Clockworkmod recovery and slowly and safely play around. I can't stress this enough, only play around with things after you fully understand what it is and does as overclocking can cause hardware damage. I hope this helps you :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irawanjohan:
you can either install a custom rom or just root your stock kernel. I tried siyah kernel before, it support overclocking and dualboot.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DUBS73P:
Hi thanks for all the information in you're post ;)

I do have cwm recovery installed and I have created a android backup ready for my mistakes :)

What option do I use from within cwm? Is it the one that says install from zip or something? Thanks again
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hally79:
Download your kernel of choice,boot recovery select install zip from sd card,navigate to where you downloaded your kernel,select it install it,now re-boot system.........job done enjoy

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerverg:
Download Siyah kernel, the latest 1.7rc then flash it using Odin. Then you're good to go. Just read in general section. There's a guide by bala on how to OC/UV.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rezoundness:
OK I have two lines of vzw service. I am so sick of having to wait almost a year for an updated is but by then that is outdated as Google will have 4.2 but key lime pie will be announced soon... I got so sick of it I already traded on phone a RAZR xt912 for a iPhone 4. I placed another ad on craigslist to trade my galaxy nexus.... this update crap of even a nexus having to wait months is crap. I am gonna try to trade my 32gb galaxy nexus for an iPhone 4 or 4s or 5....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
Blame the carrier. No one else
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rezoundness:
Yes I agree. You see apple can release an update and when Apple says its available its available.... so if apple can do it then Google can as well. Google should never announce the newest version until all phones that can handle it are ready for it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pierceye:
Different story with Android vs Apple. The entirety of Apple's lineup doesn't even equal one year's worth of Android releases, so there are far fewer device builds to write for. In addition Apple is completely in charge of the manufacturing process for their products, whereas Google is only partially in control of one. Even with all of that nonsense though, the manufacturer skins and carrier testing are the major bottlenecks for the pace of update releases.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rezoundness:
Still that's no excuse... the base is should be upgradable just like in windows phone series... Google needs to stop custom market skins like sense ui and touchwiz or make parts of them optional like how go launcher go dialer go SMS all are. Also android hardware should be all the same.. let the device look different by the external design such as glass plastic metal and such...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iLeopard:
Why go for CDMA in the first place? GSM is the way to go. I don't care for the lousy LTE speeds, anything I need can be done with 5mbps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
apple still gets carrier approval. it seems seemless because they wait to publish the update until they get all the approvals.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rezoundness:
Then that's what Google needs to do for all devices wait until all approvals are given and we know exactly what devices will get it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pfmiller:
So you never want Google to release updates? Great plan there. Everyone knows GSM phones are the only truly free (as in open, not free as in beer) phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rezoundness:
It came down to me having to pay past bills to att and T-Mobile... Verizon was no deposit...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] geoffcorey:
Here are your two reasons:

1) Google releases source code, and relies on an open platform. CDMA is NOT an open platform. So verizon/sprint/etc get to dictate terms.

2) Verizon HATES open platforms/being told what to do. This is why you see the CDMA GNex not getting timely updates (vzw/sprint has to OK it) and also why you see vzw blocking Google wallet, adding in their apps.

If you want ALL carriers to stop their bull****, stop buying their phones and start buying open platforms such as unlocked gsm nexus phones. The carriers make a lot of money off their subsidized phones and accompanying plans. Remove their power, and they'll listen.

Also, the reason apple can update the way they do is: a "unified" userbase, and not having an open platform.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 063_XOBX:
What I'm sick of is people buying CDMA phones then crying when they don't get the update immediately. You knew this was coming when you bought the phone. Delayed CDMA updates have happened before, it's nothing new. It's like complaining about waiting in line at the DMV.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shadow77048:
I am upset because I was under the impression that a Galaxy Nexus was a true nexus and I was sure I would get the full experience. I wish I would have known the CDMA GNex wouldn't be as supported as the GSM GNex
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iLeopard:
Gotcha. What about prepaid?

---------- Post added at 10:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:45 PM ----------

It still makes it a CDMA phone, common sense if you ask me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rezoundness:
then i have to pay full retail price of the phone and about a grand for an iphone 5 and about 700 to 1 grand for an s3... and then the nexus 4 has no lte. I would love to use simple mobile with 4g speeds.... Put i will now try to trade for an iphone of some sort. The update 4.2 was released today by google and i still dont have it on my gnex from verizon. All nexus devices should be like iphones and be world phones.. apple can program them at the factory as to cdma or gsm.... so them we can jail break them and switch between gsm and cdma....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] btate0121:
I'm on sprint... next year I won't be. Nuff said. LOL. It's not Google's fault.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rezoundness:
Yes.it is googles fault. They should handle all updates via the play store for all os. I went to vzw they blame Google... Google blames carriers...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] btate0121:
Have you read up on this at all? Basically the drivers for the CDMA technology is what holds the process up.. that's a carrier problem. GSM is an open standard where CDMA is closed, so carriers have to get involved with Google to make sure updates work the way they're supposed to. ESPECIALLY with LTE.. which is why there's no LTE on the Nexus 4. Your best bet is T-Mobile. I'm fine with that. T-Mob is actually pretty good in my area and HSPA+ is waaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than Sprints crappy 3G and non-existant LTE service.

All that to say. No it's not Google's fault. They ARE handling the updates OTA where they can.. but Sprint and Verizon have to lock down the radio's and what not. I actually applaud Google for going the route they did with the Nexus 4. It's a philosophy I'm willing to support with my dollars. I'm willing to give up LTE ... which i technically don't have now anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iLeopard:
The GSM GN only ran at $350 plus tax which is a very reasonable price considering you're not going to be tied to contracts and are free to switch from carrier to carrier with the same device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thebobp:
So you want google to delay their updates to the rest of us just so you won't get unhappy?

Like the way Verizon was stuck on 4.0.2 for months?

I don't think so.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Deekayy:
So you blame Google/Verizon because the updates for your android phones are not coming on a timely manner? And your solution is to buy an iPhone product? That's like a big F U to this forums saying you're never settle with an android phone again. What are you going to get out of the iOS? ( I don't even want to list the pros/cons).

Why don't you settle for the latest and popular out right now? Galaxy S3 or the Note II. Samsung/Google is updating these phones are quick as they can (currently on 4.1.2).

I just hope you're not one of those Android users saying, " I am Key lime pie NOW!". Then say, "ok i'm tired of it, what's next?".

I currently have 4.1.2 on my Gnex Verizon and i'm pretty content with it. Even though I do wish Google/Verizon would push the update as quick as possible, i'm not going to go certain measures to buy an iPhone because of it. This is XDA, a development community, and i'm willing to wait for the ASOP to be released and let these guys tamper with it and have it available for the Verizon Gnex.

But seriously, you're a whiner.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Rabble!! Rabble rabble rabble!

Short of the radios I could care less when VZW releases it because the devs do a better job.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rezoundness:
I am talking about what the carriers and makers release not what third party devs do. So if a third party can do it why cant the carriers....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Because the devs dont make money when you buy a new phone and sign a 2 year agreement for service, but the carriers do. If you made money when people bought new phones, would you be in a hurry to get them updates to their old phones?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cilraaz:
Because third party devs don't have to do network regression testing or pass the software back to a different company when small issues are found, as Verizon likes to do.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
a third party dev doesnt have to go through vzw's testing process?

you are talking about 2 different things and assuming they are the same

VZW's process for Official updates (summarized as i dont 100% know their process)

1) google gives them the update

2) vzw tests the update on their test phones to ensure reliability, stability, signal strength, their apps on the phone, etc - this can take months

3) QC comes behind the testers and tests more

4) publish update out

third party dev's process

1) google published update

2) dev hacks their code to make it work on vzw model

3) publish out to people as soon as it boots and generally works, and let users tell them bugs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] deeznart:
Lol all android hardware should be the same? Might as well tell all the companies currently making android phones to merge into one. All new cars should have the same parts and same horsepower and only look different! Lets pay $500k for a super car body with a Honda civic motor!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rezoundness:
Why can't ford make a Chevy camaro and why can't Audi make a ford f150. Economy by using same platform but body would be different
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justbecuz123:
Because a Ford is a Ford, a Chevy is a Chevy, and an Audi is an Audi. They're different companies. Have fun buying a nice brand new Lamborghini with a Ford Model T motor in it then, buddy.

In my opinion, and I'd love to hear from those who disagree with me, half the reason for owning a Nexus device is the openness of the system. Factory unlockable right off the bat, takes no more than a minute provided you have the drivers installed. Rooting is easy. And these Nexus devices have one of the larger(largest) third party dev communities I've seen. Owning a Nexus and refusing to install custom Android builds is kinda like building your own gaming desktop but refusing to install any game not provided by your ISP. My Galaxy Nexus was unlocked and flashed within a month of ownership (it was my first Android phone ever), my Nexus 7 within 3 days. Frankly, I'd never go back to OTA simply for the wealth of features and improvements these third party roms provide.

Discounting the fact that you seem to have just passed over every other reply in this thread so you can keep whining about how slow VZW is updating their devices, have fun giving up your completely open system for one of the more(most) heavily controlled ones out there (and having the same phone as the last generations).

Oh and for what it's worth, VZW Gnex owner here, never once complained about the speed of updates because the only OTA I've ever gotten was from 4.0 to 4.0.1 when I opened my box. Third party roms all the way.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] harveydent:
LOL! I love this thread!

So it's basically, "I don't get updates because I'm a deadbeat who doesn't pay my bills"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rezoundness:
The way I see it is that the auto sector can save trillions and pay off the national debt if they all agree to share the se platform. One platform that can cover all cars from micro to large and one platform for trucks. They would have all the same engines and all but the only difference would be minor tweaks on the sheet metal.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
wow i totally glossed over that... cant believe i missed such a gold nugget

good to know his credit is garbage too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rezoundness:
I had the tmobile plan and the price was left blank on the contract for the get more 3000 plan.. Since no price then it's free as it was not on the contract that I signed. I still refuse to pay 12 years later

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] harveydent:
Everyone was being snarky at your thread because someone makes a new thread complaining about Verizon/Sprint/yakjuxx every other day since 2011. (you, for instance) No one takes them seriously anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fk.gregor:
oh i see. anyway im checking out the muzzy rom. have you checked it out yet?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justbecuz123:
Oh S***! Call the presses! Have Mr. President hire you immediately because you've found the answer to infinite monies!

How can I put this simply... if every manufacturer made the same exact product, save for a variance in color or a slight change in the shape, Apple would have even less grounds than they already don't for their lawsuits.

Edit - Because Ford making Maseratis, Buggattis, and Chrystlers, along with every other auto manufacturer, has a lot to do with how quickly VZW gets their OTAs out on factory unlockable devices. Cool thread bro.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rice923:
Dear OP,

It was nice knowing you for the past 5 minutes. You've entertained my life with humorous whining, while digging a huge hole for yourself in this forum. May you enjoy what's left of your dignity.

Best of luck,

another Toro user

Seriously, you're complaining about not getting timely updates b/c Verizon doesn't release them. You want to solve it by.... having everyone else wait with you even though they don't have to? Then you want all phones to have the same internals? And you want something to do with cars or something. Oh boy, I'm with harveydent on this one. Lovin' this thread till the end!

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vemoxy:
This is not a ROM-specific issue - it has been an irritating thing for me over the past year. It has happened on CM7/9/10, MIUI, any custom rom actually. Rather irritating when you wanna switch from gaming to texting etc (which is what I often do).

Just wondering if anyone found a fix. Thanks!
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMackshun:
A broken hinge?

I have this issue as well. Whenever I open or close my play, it reboots. If I apply pressure as I slide out the gamepad, it works normally. Most likely a loose hinge or something.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chery2k:
Its not a software issue its a hardware issue for sure because my xperia play reboots when I close the slide on any rom. I'm not very tech savvy nor am I afraid of opening my xperia play I just don't know how the slide on the xperia play ticks. It can be number of things it can be slide, flex, the screen I have no clue. If someoone has a hardware fix on this please share. :confused:
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xperia Player:
Had this problem on stock rom but after flashing cola it's yet to happen.

Maybe I got lucky, IDK, it might be worth a try if it's bothering you too much.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xperia Gamer:
There is a contact problem with your battery and the phone

This is not from your Rom. It is from your battery. Remove the battery use a paper to make it more firm as you put the battery inside the phone. I had the same problem but now I can slide my xperia PLAY open as hard and fast as u want without it rebooting.

HIT THANKS IF THIS HELPED
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chery2k:
That doesn't work for me. I had to open my xperia play and replace the flex cable and now no reboots. The flex cable on my xperia play has alot of wear and tear in it.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
I gave my R800at to my brother and today it begin to reboot when sliding in or out, it was a little lose, but not much.

I opened it, the flex cable seemed to be secure so I don't know specifically what caused it to reboot. But I tried to secure all the connections and tighten all the screws in the phone and it fixed the problem. No doubt I feel the problem will reoccur again in the future. I does seem sliding out the gamepad slowly and with some pressure down help.

To open the phone you need to use a Torque screw driver with the size "T5", you can get it at Lowe or Home Depot.
[Nexus 4 General] vita10gy:
Anyone who is thinking that they'll swing by Walmart and grab a Straighttalk sim card/activation kit once their Nexus arrives: they don't appear to sell them, or at least not at mine. There was every permutation of everything else they sell there, but no sim cards, so order now!

Although I did find a promo code to get the sim free online, so I guess it wasn't a total lost trip.

That's what I get for putting it off. Now I might have a nexus that isn't a phone for a day. Oh, the humanity.:p
[Nexus 4 General] mastermind278:
For those that don't know, using the promo code SIMSAVE on the $45 monthly plan will give you a free SIM card!
[Nexus 4 General] ap3604:
I won't be buying the Nexus 4 right away, probably a month after release once the kinks are worked out, but can anyone explain why the straight talk coverage has two seperate coverage maps?

One is for non-android (and the coverage is great)

Another is for android (and the coverage is barren)

http://www.straighttalk.com/Coverage

Also does Straight Talk use T-mobiles network? I thought it was just ATT but it says right on there website here : http://www.straighttalksim.com/ : that you can "Bring your T-Mobile compatible 4G phone and keep your 4G service" :confused: Of course the Nexus 4 is pentaband, but thats a rarity and not all phones are so how would they give other T-mobile phones 4G service?
[Nexus 4 General] altimax98:
Straight talk will use whomever is best in your area. Be in AT&T or T-Mobile. The reason the maps are so different is that the Non-Android one is for voice/2G the Android is 3G+. Basicly it is saying Basic coverage is almost everywhere, but data isnt.
[Nexus 4 General] Zimeron:
You choose either an at&t or T-Mobile sim card at checkout.
[Nexus 4 General] lowrider262:
Or you can pick up a net 10 sim kit at best buy. Kit costs $15 and you get 3 Sims (at&t normal size, at&t micro, and T-Mobile normal) all with seperate activation codes. They have the exact same unlimited plans straight talk does but there $50 a month. Just putting another option out there:)
[Nexus 4 General] martonikaj:
You're right. Buy it online. Ships in a few days.
[Nexus 4 General] v3rk:
Looking a bit online net10 seems like the way to go! Why am I just now hearing about it? I was getting nervous from straight talk horror stories...
[Nexus 4 General] marsdta:
Though be advised that net10 is owned by the same company as straight talk. I personally have straight talk and can attest that their cs sucks more than att. But I've only had to call them once. Never had an issue with throttling but I stay under that hush hush of 2gb a month
[Nexus 4 General] lowrider262:
I never heard about them in the bring your own phone game either until last week, I was going to every store trying to buy a straight talk sim for my nephews at&t phone, then I ran across this at best buy. Best part is the 3 Sims, you can try one service and if you don't like it, you could switch the same day:thumbup:
