Touchwiz has come a long way. I pretty sure sense is built for jb already, and I can understand op's request especially since the one s came out months before the gs iii iirc
[HTC One S] sandwichmasta:
Ridiculous that the S3 got it before the one s, HTC is really laggin on this one
[HTC One S] lorddart:
HTC has dropped the ball for a while now I'm amazed (no pun intended) that the amaze ever got an official ics honestly... And I'm shocked how Samsung has stepped up, back in my original sgs days I was pissed it took an extra 6 months+ for us to get a froyo (which was a very important update) than the HTC phones released around the same time.
[HTC One S] kirkcody:
And to rub salt in the wound, there's already a leak out of 4.1.2 for th S2 :(

Come in HTC wtf.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] danzerdelight:
Hey guys,

I'm new to android and I've done my research, but for some reason I can't come across an app that will let me group chat with iphone users. This is crucial to me and it is getting really annoying to have to answer to each iphone user when they are in a group chat. Is there a messaging app that will let me group chat with iphone users without having to set up a new account with other messaging apps like whatsapp and viber? I don't care about imessaging with iphone users. I just care about group chatting and I don't want to set up an account with other apps and force my friends so talk to me through those apps.

Any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gisboro:
I can't say for certain but I think GO SMS Pro will allow you to configure it to do what you want. Handcent SMS also claims to let you "group mms with iPhone". I will look into it a bit more and let you know if there are any others.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] spycedtx:
Handcent does do group messages as of recent. It was bad at first, but its now pretty good and usable. I use it quite often with friends who are on iPhones.

I assume that's what you mean by "group chat".

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mypantsaretorn:
I'm a go sms pro user and it does the job very well!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] holycow1:
Handcent does it.

To enable, go to Settings (in handcent), choose default messaging application and set to all.

Then at the bottom tick "Thread group conversation."

Finally, in notification settings, tick "Notify after download", for a better experience.

Done.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] danzerdelight:
I'll give these a shot, guy. Thanks a bunch. This should really help me out with group messaging.
[Nokia Lumia 900] sa-10:
new updated nokia network setup, is it safe? I remember all the havoc the last one caused earlier this year and the update notes say will not mod apns for net it mms on locked phones...another price of crippleware for the phones we legally own and bought but chose not to feed ma bell?
[Nokia Lumia 900] piyere:
everything worked fine for me,I added Telus but it didnt work until I powered off the phone,on the start up it asked to confirm my carrier et voila!

MMS works now but no tethering but I wasnt expecting that....
[Nokia Lumia 900] sa-10:
Kewl thanks!

Kewl thanks!
[Nokia Lumia 900] sa-10:
re-read the update notes in market

it states on locked devices this app with not allow changes to mms and internet settings, downloader beware.
[Nokia Lumia 900] exiva:
MMS & Data work fine, even with latest version on a fresh setup of WP7 so there's nothing leftover. I believe they mean LTE settings but just worded it poorly.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] biggolfer:
I am within 14 day window to exchange phone but I have to ship back to sprint due to purchasing online. I have Sero account so no purchase was possible through sprint store.

Here is my situation.

3G speed has been slower than I expected since purchasing the phone. My 3G speed has averaged between 125 to 350 kbps throughout a 24 hr period over several days. I am averaging between -90dbms and -95dbms signal level in most locations in which I travel on sprint using EVDO A. I have taken the phone to the sprint repair center twice but they don't run any tests other than speedtest. They tell me it is the network and wait for 4GLTE. There are no issues on Wifi that I can see.

I would have accepted that answer but on the weekend I met up with two friends who are also on sprint. One has the same SG3 and the other HTC Evo 4GLTE. While sitting at same table and rebooting our phones, we ran some speedtests over hr period and my phone was consistently slower than the other two. I know there are many factors but we had the same settings to our knowledge. The HTC was faster followed slightly by SG3. They were ranging from 500kbps up to 1600kbps while mine were in the 250-300 range using the same servers.

I have installed JB update stock using modem LJ7.

1 What is considered good to excellent signal strength?

2. What can I check for to determine if it is the phone since the service center is no help. Or do I send it back and hope for best on next phone?

I don't want to try a different modem until out of 14-day window.

Any suggestions?

Thank for any help
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hkhan1:
Has nothing to do with phone, it's network issue.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] IAmSixNine:
It can and sometimes does have to do with the phone. IF a radio is bad, antenna is bad or a number of factors.

In this case i think he has done a good job comparing location and devices. All things can never be equal since these things are mass produced on assembly lines. But from his testing it does make me think theres an issue.

I also played with many different stock ROMS and modems back when i had a GS2 and some modems did work better then others.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tkepk181:
So what I would recommend would be to try out the different modems that are available in the Android Development section. Just because your friend has an SG3, it doesn't mean that you're going to get the exact same result. I know it doesn't make any sense but each phone is different. I have absolutely abysmal 3g coverage with one modem but with others it gets better.....and the modems that work well for my phone are different than the modems that other sprint sg3 friends use........give it a shot and see if maybe a different modem might work better for you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] alphahere:
Take it back and test in the store. Run some speedtests with the demo phones in the store if possible.

Sent from my dumbphone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] biggolfer:
Ive flashed roms and radios on other phones but it was window phones. Is there some counter so sprint would know I changed radios if I send it back. Obviously I would change back to stock.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] biggolfer:
I did try in store with demo phones and mine was indeed slower but I cant scientifically say there was a significant variance.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tkepk181:
The only thing that trips the counter is if you Odin flash a custom recovery or, as it is appearing, if you flash a custom kernel. If you flash anything through a custom recovery then it shouldn't trip the counter if you were to use triangle away to reset the counter........I flash files regularly through TWRP and it doesn't increment the counter.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Vladabeast:
actually a lot of people who have the Evo LTE have reported bad signal and internet. my sister has the Evo LTE and i have the Galaxy SIII and we could be in the same place and she'll have really bad internet while i will have pretty good data speeds
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] IAmSixNine:
That can be explained by the switching glitch in the EVO LTE that would go to 1x and not back to EVDO or eHRPD/LTE. Mine did that and i got a GS3.

I have since applied updates to the EVO LTE and it doesnt appear to do this anymore.

In my case it was not a signal strength issue as your saying but it was a network selection issue that caused the device to get stuck on 1x. But then again that was my unit and it was a few months ago..

In my opinion bad signal would be the lack of signal. But in this case it was good signal with poor system switching.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ariel123:
manually update your prl to 00001 its given me way better service ever since i did. my gf gets no bars in her house mean while i get 2 to three bars with good 3g speed and i have not roamed since.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] IAmSixNine:
Just out of random curiousity, did Mr. Adriano give you permission to put his email address on a public forum?

I can understand privately giving it to a friend or someone who might need assistance but to put it on a public forum..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Samdroid1:
So by now we all know that Jelly Bean 4.2 has been released and has already been pushed to a lot of Galaxy Nexus devices around the globe. Myself, like many others, have a Galaxy Nexus on the Verizon network. I'm just as eager as anyone to get the 4.2 update but I do realize it's going to be a while before Verizon officially has the 4.2 update for us. What are my options as of now and the near future? Are there any ROMs I can use with the Verizon network and run 4.2? I'm currently running 4.1.1 JRO03O, so would I have to find a way to update to 4.1.2 before I could update to 4.2? Also, if I am able to find a ROM that will get me to 4.2, what features do I have to worry about losing? Many features of my phone I hold close, so I'd like full disclosure on which features could be compromised. I really appreciate your time for helping me!

Also, please be as detailed as possible with your responses - I imagine there are many others that view the forums like myself, looking for the answers to these questions without having to read through multiple 100+ page threads, finding answers bit by bit. A lot of people are running stock JB 4.1.1 on VZW network like myself and could benefit from these answers. Thanks so much guys!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
go check the verizon dev forum. thats your best bet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
^^^^

ftfy;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
too bad detail isnt needed when he can go look himself in the verizon dev forum... where people would make 4.2 roms...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jaay1337:
You could just flash the 4.1.2 Takju firmware then wait a couple of hours and recieve it, thats what I did and I recieved it within 2 hours if you are really impatient. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
no he cannot. he has the verizon version.

GSM is not the same as CDMA.

please dont post mis-information such as this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
You missed my sarcasm.

I would NOT recommend doing this to your VZW Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
i did :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Samdroid1:
I appreciate the simplicity if your answers, but I've been in the Verizon dev forum for a while now. I continue to read through thread after thread, but I want definitive answers. Please link me to the threads in the Verizon dev forum of ROMs that would work for me please. I created this thread so that others who were in the same situation as me could find the answers they need quickly, without having to browse through the verizon dev forum for hours and still feel unsure about flashing a rom. Again, if you don't mind, just link me to some of the threads you feel are important in relation to my situation. I'm more than happy to read through the thread, every single page. I just want to have a little assurance in the ROM I'm loading onto my Nexus. I need to make sure I don't need to run a 4.1.2 ROM first or if I can go straight from 4.1.1 to 4.2. etc etc Thanks guys
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
so you want to be spoonfed because you cannot read the title of the threads?

if you're replacing the system (which you are if you're flashing a rom) it doesnt matter what version you were on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] turdbogls:
there are a couple 4.2 ROMs out already. they are all a little finnicky. my suggestion is to wait a couple days for the bugs to be worked out. as far as i know, some of the things not working last i checked was.

google location, go Google Now isn't working

photosphere was crashing in the gallery (although i was able to use it just now)

swype typing was not working (i have a 4.2 transformation package that i flashed and got it working)

overall, it is pretty stable with very few issues.

as for features missing from what you currently have or want, i dont know. its just Stock android 4.2 for right now.

lock screen widgets

photosphere

quick settings

new clock app

new Google apps (calendar, gmail with pinch to zoom ect)

its all there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
Flash CM10, it has a built in update checker so you will be good to go when they drop a 4.2 nightly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Samdroid1:
Thanks for all the information! I guess I'll wait a week or so and see which ROM is out at that point and has the best reviews for stability and functionality. And yes, I can read the thread titles... but when you click on thread after thread and they were all started MONTHS ago, they aren't much help for an update that came out days ago. And also, none of the thread titles say anything about 4.2... sure, they say JB, but JB is 4.1.1, 4.1.2 and 4.2 so that doesn't help much either. That's why I asked. Also because in the VZW development forum it says DONT ASK QUESTIONS so... where else would I go? Isn't that the point of a Q&A forum? To answer questions and not go around being a smart ** to people just looking for help? Like seriously?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PGU5802:
That is IF you want CM and the potential bugs that come with nightly builds.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jmayer88:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0brady0:
I got the galaxy s3 a couple weeks ago, and when I got it I just put my old sd card in it and it worked fine. I could transfer files to and from it fine, when I hooked the phone up to a computer I could easily copy and paste files to the sd card that was mounted to phone. The sd card I used was an 8 gig Samsung, I recently upgraded to a 32 gig PNY sd card and have had nothing but problems with it. For the first week it would always say sd card was unmounted or unreadable and gave me an error, then mounted and worked. Finally got that fixed, but it would never work for file transfer from my computer, I have to physically take the sd card out of the phone and plug it directly into my computer to actually get files to transfer onto it. But transferring files onto my phones memory works fine, just the sd card has issues. Even when transferring from my phones storage to the sd it hasn't worked in my experience, any help would be appreciated. I don't want to have to root or anything because I know the phone works fine, I think PNY just sucks I haven't had the greatest experience with any of their products.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0brady0:
Okay so the card is doing the error message with the phone again so I guess I need to fix that first, Help?

How do I remove Dual Boot and get back to how it was (single boot) in Siyah Kernel.. I searched the forum and came up with posts that said "Remove 2nd Rom" option was available under Dual Boot in STweaks but there is no option as "Remove 2nd Rom" in STweaks on my phone. I want to remove the second rom, how do I do it? :/

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 123go!:
Hey everyone!

So I run a stock 4.1.2 nexus s, locked bootloader, not rooted. Out of nowhere earlier my phone started to reboot itself. It would load into the OS, but then it would reboot, and it keeps repeating itself..

Any ideas?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
You can hard reset but this will erase your stuff. This works if you're not rooted/don't have a custom recovery.

From being powered down, you hold VOL + then power. This will bring you to the fastboot menu. With the volume keys, you select recovery.

Once in recovery with the exclamation mark andy, you hold VOL + and then power and you wait until it reboots. Might be VOL - at this step though, I cannot recall.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 123go!:
Thanks, I have got to that point, but I am hesitant to do it. There is no way to access the sdcard while the phone is in recovery mode??
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UselessSniper001:
There is no way unless you have a custom recovery that supports that feature. Stock recovery doesn't have that feature.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] typhoonikan:
Hi,

I was wondering if there was a new EVO LTE OC app for the current base?

It seems that using the app, which changes the upper bound on the CPU clock speed, doesn't work any longer. It did at the time of its release though. I am assuming that the reason it doesn't work now is the updates and change in rom base.

I was wanting to see if upping the CPU speed to 2ghz had any changes in rending a time lapse video I was playing with. I went to do this and it doesn't work any longer! The max cpu value in set cpu is still 1500mhz.

The app I reference is found here and here

If this is an old method altogether, how can I OC the EVO nowadays?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jkt97401:
The kernel is responsible for setting the max speed. You have to change your kernel if you want to OC above 1.5 ghz.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Anthonicia:
Try googling awesome sauce kernel or evilz kernel here on xda. They both work great for overclocking.

UPS 2nd Day Air has an option for saturday deliveries, it may or may not be extra, I know Amazon Prime does it and they use UPS 2 day.

Anyone know if UPS included saturday delivery with all 2 day orders now? Their website makes it seem like its an add-on charge but they dont explicitly say it is.

If it isnt included in all 2 day shipping then does anyone know if Play uses saturday delivery?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supercakefish:
Someone please say yes...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parelem:
usually during holiday season all 2nd day shipping has the saturday option, so possibly. however, i doubt it.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] idividebyzero:
did it ship out on a thurs?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heat361:
No but others in the nexus 7 forums did and they didn't get it till monday
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ohhdavid:
The answer is no.

UPS charges $15 for Saturday delivery which is more than twice the cost Google charged to deliver the package.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OmgitzFire:
Google really screwed us on this one >=(
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wngmv:
From past experience.

And I called Google and UPS for a Saturday delivery and both rejected. I had to leave town on Monday so I was hoping they would deliver on Saturday.but they wouldn't. I'm sure others had same experience as well.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] idividebyzero:
Well they charged $14, which is a completely ridiculous price in the first place. Amazon gives you saturday delivery for a fraction of that (or included with Prime).

I cant believe they are going to ship on thursday and not include saturday delivery. This is absolute incompetence. 6 day shipping for $14... un f***ing believable.

They should be busting their asses to get these things shipping tonight if they are going to charge that much and not do saturday delivery. Whose dumbass idea was it to ship on the day that would take longest possible shipping time?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PlanBSTi:
What did google do?

This is getting annoying. "Google screwed us when we were ordering" "Google screwed us when shipping" "Google screwed us with packaging" "google screwed us with 30 units available"

Google didn't screw anyone. The only thing that close was the ordering system. They should have had a pre order.

Shipping. Do you think its easy to ship out probably 10 000 units in 2 days? Shipping is UPS side. Google has nothing to do with shipping. If you want it so bad. Get it from TMO or any place that sells it retail. That way you have it in your hands the second you pay for it.

This is why we can't have nice things. People complains and points fingers when nothing is wrong. Just because they are excited.

You waited for least 2 weeks now. Another week isn't going to ruin your life.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OmgitzFire:
Well there you go, a simple pre order would of been enough to help us out and Google didn't do that so yes they screwed us on this one. At least they should have the common decency to give us Saturday shipping or have it listed as an option. But i understand that maybe UPS fault? But still not even preorders were offered .

10,000 units in 2days is trouble some to ship, but from what i have heard, no ones N4 has been shipped yet not even one. (at least in the U.S)

So I stand by my last post :]
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PlanBSTi:
$14 for shipping is cheap. Move to canada.

Anything you buy from the states is almost least $20 for 2 weeks delivery time. That's for something that weights a pound. I paid $100 to ship a turbo over from the states to canada. That took 2 weeks. It cost a dealer about $1500 to ship a car. And i'm paying $100 to ship a turbo that weights maybe 15lbs. Both takes about the same time to deliver. That's ridiculous.

Just because companies spoils you with free shipping doesn't mean its ridiculous for another to charge. N4 is stupid cheap as it is. Just be wait.

Unless you are willing to ship something for free and with saturday delivery, don't complain.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ijip:
It depends to be honest. If you need it sat, my suggestion is to track it. If the phone is in a local distribution center, call them and arrange a pick up
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PlanBSTi:
yeah I agree they should have had an option for saturday but think about it from google's POV.

They have a ton of unit to ship and mistakes will happen if they don't keep things simple.

Google isn't a hardware complain, They are a search engine, advertising and software company. So they could only have 100 warehouse workers trying to get everything out vs apple with 1000 (made up number) so its easier for them and have lessen the chance of a mistake. Or shipping the saturday ones with regular shipping times.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itznfb:
Who compares shipping to Amazon? Seriously. Amazon sends a million shipments a day. They have their own carrier distribution facilities. Amazon is in a league of their own with shipping so don't expect other companies to live up to their level.
