@All

Use THIS:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18703418&postcount=5021

Download the script and run it.

It has a built in option which is named:"Bulletproof Apps" or something like that.

Or THIS:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1012330

Which is only the how to lock the app in memory.

Reccomended is the first solution because it's more user friendly.

NOTE:You have to be rooted to use either one of the solutions. :)

Also not really connected to that issue but give a go at the full supercharger mod,rather than just the bulletproof apps part only...

I works fine for me...;)

Can somebody give stock romanian firmware LT26i (Xperia S) build.prop with SI number 1257-5848, please? I edited my build.prop 1257-4009 with 1257-5848, but PC Companion and Update Service it does not let me upgrade... Thank You!

Nobody has a link with a romanian firmware?

Decided to check for update this AM, to my surprise there was an update available. I received one about a month back bring me up to 4.0.4. Today's update did nothing but update the baseband ver and kernel. Hopefully it helps my signal, when I am at home (hugo, MN) and in my basement i get **** reception even though the map shows 4G.

Edit:

Tested foxfi: The app opens and starts transmitting as it did before but I currently do not have another device to test connection.

The official Verbiage: http://support.verizonwireless.com/pdf/system_update/galaxy_s3.pdf

Device Enhancements

+ Enhanced Zooming Feature has been added to user interface for Web browsing, reading emails and

more.

+ Reduced device resets.

Try the new jellybean radio leak. It helped my signal quite a bit
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] travisryans:
I'm used to flashing roms, trying a few out and seeing what I like. Came from the original captivate, rocked serendipity for quite some time. I work for a law firm now though and they keep outlook syncing pretty locked down. Yes I could download touchdown or a third party app but its nice using the built in function of the phone, syncing all of the ms office options has never been an issue.

On a side note I told my buddy on Tmob with a SSGIII to check for the update assuming it was Jelly Bean, he did and is now saying he's updated to 4.1 wtf.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ajrty33:
4.1 is jellybean. :/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] travisryans:
Yup. I guess I didn't make it clear or perhaps you didn't read the whole thread. I was hoping the update today was jelly. After updating I discovered it was only a radio / kernel update, I then asked my buddy to check, he did and he had the jelly bean update waiting out there for him to download it. Hope that clears things up champ.

I am very tempted by a pair of Brookstone Dual Drive Earbuds - but it would be very relevant if the volume control also works OK with Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-i9300 ?! Does anybody have one or tested one??
[Galaxy S III Accessories] P0ll0L0c0:
I have them. I just tried it for you - and the one button does work for pausing and controlling music at least using the stock audio player. Compatibility will depend on the app, but in general the control button does work. Be aware that they're bass heavy earphones, the mids and treble suffer by comparison.

That said - I'd rather recommend the Sony MH1C earphones that are causing a stir on head-phi. You can now get them for $30 or so on Amazon or EBAY, the OEM version usually packaged with phones. That said - I bought them at $20 before the demand went nuts.

That said - they're worth every penny for audiophiles. The clarity is amazing for the price, and I own some expensive headphones. But also - I haven't used the remote on the MH1C with my S3, though I'm pretty sure it will work. I just don't have those headphones here at work, and won't have access to them until tomorrow.

In short - the Brookstone DDMS work with the S3, but for the money I'd far rather recommend the Sony MH1C instead - even if the remote didn't work.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] xclub_101:
I am confused ...

I am a little confused - the Brookstone Dual Drive Earbuds that I had in mind - http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41thmw4bv+L._SL500_.jpg - clearly have 3 buttons and two of them are supposed to alter volume on an iPhone :confused:

I was never very impressed with Sony earbuds (but I was with some high-end Sony headphones, the price was however not competitive), but I never tried the MH1C - I might try to test it first somehow but I doubt I will buy if all the controls do not work on the S3 - I already have some very good (older) Panasonic stuff for just listening (clearly superior to the stock stuff coming with S3), what I was interested was something dual-drive that could completely replace the full original Samsung functionality ...

One option that remains in theory is to get another S3 original replacements (not so expensive - about 3-4 EUR but so far I could only find white) and the Brookstone Dual Drive Earbud and then cut the cables above the controls and restore with some professional soldering ...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] P0ll0L0c0:
Doh, sorry. About the same time as the Brookstone IEM's came out, Able Planet came out with dual dynamic driver IEM's. I bought the Able Planet IEM's when they went on clearance, and confused the two. But the reviews for audio quality are very similar. They are very bass oriented. Here's a series of opinions on the Able Planet IEM's from Head-fi:

http://www.head-fi.org/t/605919/able-planet-dual-dynamic-driver-iems-impressions-thread/30

The Able Planets only have one button for pausing and playing music. The Sony MH1C have the same three buttons as the Brookstones I believe. I'll test the controls tonight.

I'd never been impressed with Sony IEM's before either. But I saw the hype on these start to grow at head-fi, and took a dive when the OEM (no retail packaging, in a ziplock bag) versions went on sale for $20. I bought head-direct Re0's for $80 a couple years ago, and the MH1C's sound better overall. I bought Triple Fi TF10's (3 balanced armatures) for $100 a few years ago, and these sound better overall as well. I have quad driver custom earphones, and these get me about 80% of the way to that sound. I'm really surprised at the clarity across lows to highs. I'm not fond of the flat cables however.

In short - I'll try the remote buttons tonight with the S3, and I'm pretty confident you'll prefer the sound of the MH1C earphones to the Brookstone Dual Drivers. Unless you are a bass-head, in which case all bets are off. :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] P0ll0L0c0:
I tested my Sony MH1C's with the stock music player - and they worked absolutely great, no problems whatsoever. The 3 main buttons worked to change the volume up and down, as well as pause/play music. There's a 4th button that enabled an app on Sony phones - and I couldn't figure out how to make it do anything. Someone mentioned an app that can make it useful - but I didn't try too hard. The sound quality was pretty great, and even though these like more power (from an amp) - the volume would go high enough to hurt my ears on the S3.

In short - I'd recommend these for use on the Galaxy S3 without reservation. This was the link I'd bought from:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008CCSD7K/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00

It looks like they're out of stock, but EBAY had the OEM (non-retail packaging) for $26.

If you end up going with the Brookstones, please report back how it went.
[Nexus 4 General] Wooven:
There's a rumor on french websites about LG not very happy about the success of the N4, for various reasons:

- Not enough profit per phone and market breaker, LG set a new price standard which every high end phones can't compete, including LG Optimus G, and not so enjoyable hypothesis for future smartphones sales and profits.

- Hence its limitation for very few countries when it can easily be sold in every national Play Store with scheduled launches and good will.

It's a flagship not destined to be massively sold, just a flag.

- Carriers/Hardware suppliers/Competition (legal threats) pressure?

What do you think ?
[Nexus 4 General] sroach23:
I think im hungry and need to eat lunch.
[Nexus 4 General] lnfound:
N4 is a chance for LG to show they can do high end and quality. How they were convinced to have this selling beside the optimus g but at half the price I doubt we'll ever know.

Besides that, obviously nobody but those looking to get one are happy about it. Given that this is only a win for consumers, wouldn't surprise me to see LG give poor stock, although it may not be up to them and already be in a big contract.
[Nexus 4 General] MaxCarnage:
It doesn't matter whether LG is happy or not; this is the course that the Illuminati mapped out for mankind after world leaders made contact with extraterrestrial intelligences shortly after WWII. Through the United Nations, which is really a puppet regime of the Illuminati designed to prepare us for contact with advanced alien lifeforms and technology, they ensure that this kind of high-end tech will slowly but steadily become cheaper so that we all become so used to having it be an integral part of our lives until we accept the idea of it being integrated biologically and the aliens can use it to turn us into mindless, cybernetic slaves.

Now that is a conspiracy theory, my friend.

What?
[Nexus 4 General] jmejiaa:
I would have never considered a LG phone if it wasn't for this Nexus.

They are proving that they can build decent phones(hopefully). This will open them up to a lot of people like me who never took them seriously.
[Nexus 4 General] enviii:
The Nexus 4 only came to be because Google guided/forced them to make it how THEY wanted it done.

If you want to see LG's industrial design/interface go look at the Optimus G and the gazillion other LG phones which didn't sell well (In the U.S. at least).

The only thing the Nexus 4 proves is that Google can turn a phone all about the specs into something that actually looks good and has decent specs.
[Nexus 4 General] MaxCarnage:
This is what it really boils down to, I think. LG is a substantially smaller player in the smartphone game (at least in the States), and designing the flagship Android phone for Google will only help them to establish a better name for themselves in the U.S. market. Whatever loss or minimal profit there is to be had with the Nexus 4, the key is that people who might never have even considered an LG phone before are now clamoring for one. Who knows? If it's a great phone, I might become an LG fan.
[Nexus 4 General] GR36:
Is it time for a mandatory IQ test before posting?
[Nexus 4 General] jmejiaa:
Not really, the optimus G has been getting great reviews as well, but I would have never considered it.

Most likely the Nexus came to be because they came at google with the best bid and Google took them up on the bid. If samsung would have given them a better offer I'm sure they would have taken it.
[Nexus 4 General] GR36:
Yes that is exactly how the nexus phone happened

Krugman refers to this as the Tchotchke Economy. It's been forced upon us by the elite, the so called "anointed ones".. it goes deep, too: prime ministers, Hollywood, the heads of academia, bankers. Only a select few. Could it be when you have all the power and all the money and all the lands and all the art, you have to do something new, you have to provide cheap cellphones to geeks just to spite LG?
[Nexus 4 General] MaxCarnage:
It was Krugman too who insisted that an alien invasion would be the best thing to happen to the global economy:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/06/19/paul-krugman-alien-invasion_n_1609805.html

I think that we've made the final connection; the aliens are amongst us and the war of the worlds is about to begin. The catalyst: Nexus 4.
[Nexus 4 General] gogol:
Just hypothetical questions....

If you are Samsung, how would you compete versus N4 given the very low price?

Don't you think the Android market is now less attractive for you?

Suddenly, you are now forced to come low price products...

Suddenly, you now cannot have more profits...

What's your take on this?

If N4 is being sold in the street store, with this quality and the same low price as Play Store... Who would buy SGS3? Who would buy LG OG?...

Suddenly, all other high end Android becoming unattractive... Don't you think?
[Nexus 4 General] richteralan:
I think Samsung has built a fan base, similar to Apple. I can't stand whenever people talk about Android, it's all Samsung.

So I'm not worried about them not able to compete.

I also have a conspiracy that my neighbors upstairs and downstairs have sex at the same time just to annoy me.

[Nexus 4 General] code65536:
They are (1) not nearly as cultish and (2) despite what you may think, they're probably more devoted to software than the hardware. I think the immense demand for the N4 speaks volumes. Price matters, and there is no other phone that comes even remotely close at this price.
[Nexus 4 General] BravoMotorola:
Seriously? If you didn't know about all of this you're blind
[Nexus 4 General] threeclaws:
Every time a new android phone gets posted on verge/engadget/anadtech/etc. within the first few posts someone will say "the nexus 4 is a better deal" and since people that surf and post to tech sites are "tastemakers" there is the very real possibility of LG's brand being devalued especially in the US where they are currently a non-player and their biggest hit right now is the nexus 4. As an example pre-nexus 4 nobody in my family knew LG made cell phones, even though a few of them owned one, now they all at least know that LG makes my phone and they all know that a big part of the reason that I bought the phone is that it cost $350 off contract.

They have a contract, you don't know what the contract stipulates, it very well could have said that LG agrees to make X phones and LG very well could have hit that number already.
[Nexus 4 General] cvfl:
Verizon is a carrier, not a manufacturer. He/she may know Verizon's cost - but that is very different from the cost of the device - it matters little what position was held, the point is that he saw what Verizon paid, not what the manufacturer builds it for. In addition, it's doubtful they had all of the advertising/marketing adjustments in there.

The shot is not meant at the individual, more so at the assumption that because you have a degree, you have automatic credibility and thus can distort the truth. So apologies to you personally, nikeman513.

---------- Post added at 08:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:58 PM ----------

And so your assumption is that the only way a contract gets written is a pure volume target, and nobody thought to make a time-bound commitment?
[Nexus 4 General] Endoran:
Actually your shot was aimed at the individual. You insulted his intelligence and called all his comments garbage - just just the one you were replying to. And by the way, intelligence is highly correlated with education. Trust me, I'm trained in administering intelligence tests and the theory behind them. But I agree intelligence and/or education does not give one automatic credibility... But it does help. Your reply to nikeman was very exaggerated given the content of his post. I feel like you were reacting to much more than his comment, but also to something inside yourself.

[Nexus 4 General] BarryH_GEG:
That kind of makes your post surprising. The BOM costs from iFixit and the like don't take in to account a slew of expenses that get amortized over the number of units sold. That includes R&D, prototyping, plant tooling, regulatory approvals, an X% defect rate, distribution and shipping, documentation and support, warranty repairs and service, and returns. Those things can easily add up to anywhere between 25-40% of the physical component costs. The only thing LG's saving on the N4 is sales and marketing expense. And in most cases those "non-fair" margins are pushed back in to R&D for the next evolution of devices. Samsung’s R&D budget for 2013 is $12B. It wouldn't be if they were operating on the (all-in) margin LG and/or Google are for the N4.
[Nexus 4 General] letom:
Well I don't think he was referring to random numbers, it was the numbers he saw that verizon would buy the phones for. When OEMs sell to their partners the costs that you referred to are already taken into account. But as you said obviously if you take part for part and come to a number that number is gerenarelly not incorporating all costs.
[Nexus 4 General] BarryH_GEG:
I assure you no carrier is buying devices at any manufacturers BOM costs. For a phone that retails (where it's sold direct) for $600, they're likely paying between $400-450. Resellers that sell unlocked devices are probably paying $500-525 based on moving lesser volume than a carrier who commits for hundreds of thousands of a single device. For example, Sprint's subsidy expenses for a quarter were $1.2B pre-iPhone. They rose to $1.7B post-iPhone on higher volume. So the average of what they pay for non-iPhones is less, but not by a huge amount. And Apple's not selling iPhones to carriers for BOM cost by a long shot. Another example. Best Buy most likely pays Samsung $400-425 for a tablet that retails for $499 which is about a 15-20% margin for them. The margin for resellers on electronics isn't that high which is why both Apple and Samsung report multi-billion dollar profits each quarter. It's also the reason the N4 is so expensive off-contract at T-Mobile because it's not benefitting from Google's subsidization and their most likely sourcing it from LG, not Google directly. My numbers might be off but not by a large amount.
[Nexus 4 General] draugaz:
If by this you imply "cheaply built", then not at all. Quite the contrary.

A bit impractical due to the materials chosen - yes, of course.

But overall it is much more "premium" than previous nexus devices with possible exception of N1.

What you describe are not the signs of poor quality. Those are tradeoffs between dull but practical vs premium but fragile. Exactly like a cup made of the thinnest porcelain (or china?) vs the same cup made of plastic. First one is very premium, very expensive to build and very nice to hold in the hands, but will break immediately if dropped on the flor. The second one is cheap to build and can be thrown on the concrete flow with no consequences. So it is practical. But I still rather have that of porcelain.

The same goes to the Nexus devices.

Nexus1 had metal alloy frame which had a premium feel, but would get nasty dents and scratches if dropped.

NexusS was made out of cheap plastic. Yes, it was practical as it could be dropped with little consequences. You could replace battery if you wanted. But it felt cheap in the hand and that plastic cover begun to creak in your hand. It rapidly got tons of tiny scratches. This is an example of something "manufactured dirt cheap".

GalaxyNexus was even cheaper. It was made out of painted plastic. This is even cheaper to manufacture, but the pain would soon wear off and underneath you have the different color. Was a main reason why I skipped it (alongside with amoled) and continued with NexusS which at least had an LCD. I simply could not get over myself.

Now N4, it is probably the most expensive one to produce of all of them. It has a bent gorilla2 in front, previous nexuses had a much cheaper glass.

That back plate made of glass is probably a magnitude more expensive to produce than that piece of painted plastic which was on GN.

As for the tape used inside, all nexus (and most other phones for that matter) have various amounts of tape inside them.
[Nexus 4 General] squidder:
If nobody in you're family knew lg made phones then they know absolutely nothing and your post is irrelevant. They own a lg phone and don't know lg makes phones? That's so pathetic.
[Nexus 4 General] letom:
:confused:I didn't say they paid BOM costs, my argument was that the cost that carriers and partners pay already includes costs associated with R&D, legal etc..
[Nexus 4 General] TrIn@dOr:
So LG is E.T.? :cowboy:
[Nexus 4 General] cvfl:
Y'all are going way too deep with internet psychology - I think I may know the point of my posts pretty well - I may not have conveyed them that way however, so I apologized to the person. That still not enough for ya? Well, sorry for that too, but I don't take it personally - and please, none of you should either.

Did I discount what was put forth? Absolutely! Just because you saw what Verizon wanted to show their employees as cost of a device - you honestly feel that's the cost of a device? They are just going to hang out there, for every minimum wager with a login to see, what their exact bottom line is, so they can negotiate? That's the number VZ is willing to take as bottom line on the device - you can hope that it's based on what they paid + some amount, but that's about all that number represents. I'm not even saying true "burdened" cost - but I highly doubt that the advertising incentives, cross promotional allowances etc are all taken out/put into that number. I find it odd that a person with a PhD would believe that it's the real number. And I find it even more odd that people will believe that a PhD would believe it.

Oh wait, you two said trust me. That's a horse of a different color...

[Nexus 4 General] Sigvaldr:
Might be true, might not. The source is too shady to tell.

But assume it is true. Even if it was announced in May, it wouldn't mean it would be sold immediately. It could end up being released at the end of the year, letting the Nexus 4 have a full life cycle (for a Nexus phone, at any rate).

I'd still want to see a more reliable source before jumping to any conclusions.
