[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stl Cobalt:
Check the threads here a lot of people are having issues with the original battery. Seems they are all failing around the same time. But do a search on Amazon and read some reviews before buying a replacement battery but I personaly would recommended the 2 batteries plus wall charger for $20 its awesome you can use one battery while charging the other. Never have a dead phone again. Or just grab an OEM battery for about $5. Do you know any one that has a compatible battery to just test with?

One more thing you got this phone off of Craigslist is it rooted with a custom rom ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xDman11x:
No its not rooted. No one else has a compatible battery :(. I ordered a battery from amazon so hopefully that is the only problem.

Battery will arrive Monday so I'll update this post when I can.

Thanks for your help/advice

Using an HTC Evo 4g LTE. Had the phone rooted then unrooted and now want to toot back. Everytime I attempt to utilize RegawMod and the manual version, I get an error saying, "Error retrieving Unlock_code.bin from email." I thought I had seen that you need to use your original code but I do not have mine anymore. Is there a work around to be able to unlock the bootloader and get rooted? Thanks.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ghettovirtuoso:
I do believe each phone is mapped to one unlock file. I used mine to originally unlock my bootloader. When DirtyRacuns became available and I needed to relock, I then used that same unlock.bin that I had saved to unlock it again.

Root the Evo Manually! So Simple if you follow these directions and you'll be able to get your unlock token!

Is there a Jelly Bean 4.2 update available (via custom ROM) yet that is stable? I will not like going from 4.1.1 on my HTC to 4.0 on S3. But I could wait a couple weaks for official update. Would be nice to go to 4.2 ROM directly from 4.0.

I just ditched the AT&T one x plus and went back to the Almighty S3 (hated that phone)

NexusReloaded is my favorite rom out.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jazee:
You have me really intrigued. You went S3 - one x+ - S3. I'm dying to know specifically why. Have 8 days left that I can go back to at&t and exchange for S3.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] alphamale99:
Had the S3 and loved it. Kinda big for me but came from the iPhone so it was a blast. Never had an issue with it and liked the big development that followed.

The only reason I switched is I thought (assumed) that the Tegra 3 quad core would of been better than it was. Also Jelly bean had me intrigued. What I quickly figured out is that the snap dragon was just as fast in real world use. Also once I had Google Now it didn't seem as cool as before I had it. And the multitasking for Sense is AWFUL!

For me the S3 is just much better. A nicely built 4.6" S3 would be sooooo money for me
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jazee:
How was batter life compared to the two and did you notice any difference in WiFi signal strength?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] thatsupnow:
I was just running the tmo official jellybean 4.1.1 and the wifi is a whole lot better than it is on ics, at least it was for me anyway
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] alphamale99:
It felt the Samsung had a better battery life but wins that battle because of the removable battery. I didn't really notice any difference on wifi. LTE is faster than our wifi anyways and I'm on the unlimited plan

I prefer the Samsung mainly because of the developer support. Both phones are nice and what the problems I had with HTC, Samsung has the same amount just different types.

[/COLOR]I prefer the Samsung mainly because of the developer support. Both phones are nice and what the problems I had with HTC, Samsung has the same amount just different types.

I'd like to here more on the comparison. On Samsung I will definitely flash to 4.2 when available. I imagine 4.2 ROM will be available for S3 way before One X +? That's the advantage of being most popular phone AND having been around a few months. Downside is, it will be replaced with S4 in a few months but that's technology. I heard screen on HTC is better, but maybe not THAT much better. I don't play games so Tegra and Better Screen maybe isn't a big deal for someone that doesn't play games. I want stability, decent battery life, decent wifi strength, and fastest updates / latest ROM. I know Nexus 4 is probably best choice but I want more than 16GB so this leaves only S3 32GB as best choice. I really like the hardware and Sense on the One X+, 64GB storage, and JB 4.1.1 stock.

I will definitely see if I can run WiFi Analyze in store on S3 if I do try to exchange.

[Q] cm10 stable after sdcard0 formatted from CWM: "Unfortunately, Apollo has stopped"

Hi all,

I went on my Xperia T from stock to cm10 stable with no issues.

Then, following recommendations found in these forums, I've backed up my sdcard0 (adb pull...) , formatted sdcard0 from CWM, and then restored the files (adb push...).

One thing was broken afterwards: Apollo doesn't start up. A pop-up appears saying "Unfortunately, Apollo has stopped".

Winamp works as an alternative, but I'd prefer Apollo.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Just got an HTC OneX+. Love the device (of course coming from iPhone 4 it should seem better). Chose it over SII due to a bit better screen display and Sense over Touchwiz, but if I install custom ROM, then Sense vs Touchwiz is moot point right?

Anyway I discovered a major issue with WiFi Signal being low when you hold the phone in your palm. See this YouTube video if you want to learn more:

http://youtu.be/8IUkbnj5pY0

I'm wondering if any S3 owners can confirm (with Wifi Analyzer) if you see the same issue, and this happens with all phones. Or is there anyone here that came from an One X or One X+ and switched to S3 and why?

I really like 64MB storage (already using 30 but I have a gazillion high bitrate mp3's I could pair down some). 32GB should be adequate on S3. Which Nexus 4 had 32GB. Maybe I should wait, but not waiting as long as S4 in spring.

Just want to make sure S3 doesn't have same wifi issue. Hate dealing with the idiots in the store about the stuff, they're usually clueless.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] themadproducer:
I had my heart set on the HOX before the HOX+ came out. Really loved the screen because white was white and every other S3 or Amoled based screen I looked at had blue-ish whites. The store lighting made it worse. I finally caved in and bought the S3 because of certain features...and the most important being 2gb ram. That's another story. But I got lucky. My white's are pretty darn white.

Given the choice again...I would not even consider a new device without 2gb or more ram. The HOX+ is lovely... but 1gb is not enough for the way I use the phone. Multitasking between big games and/or up to 50 smaller apps is what the S3 is good at....at least on my i747m variant on stock 4.0.4.

My previous device...the almighty HTC HD2 had the grip of death where even a loose grip would decay my phone/data signal by 2-3 bars. I used to hold the HD2 upside down in areas of poor reception to avoid covering up my antenna. Wifi...I am not sure...it was always strong enough.

Now, like the video, I have an Asus N56u router....kick a$$...and my S3. In an area of great Wifi reception on 2.4gh band, there is minimal DB reduction with a normal grip. But if I grasp extra firmly with 2 hands (what am I saying!!!;)) covering the entire S3, I can monitor an 8-12db loss....which is not too bad ...but it's not a realistic grasping scenario anyway. The reduction is not consistent and fluctuates. I think this is normal.

I would say that on my i747m, wifi reception is not an issue. Also when using the 5.8gh band, and when I am close to the router, I can receive 48mbps on my 50mbps package.

If your implying 64mb HOX+ vs 32mb S3...then consider you can add at least another 32-64mb External SDcard to the S3 at about the $20-$40 range and that's for good quality class 10 or better.

Finally, I disable the Touch Wiz launcher portion of my stock 4.0.4 rom and use Go Launcher EX which is fantastic. I tried living with TW launcher but it is crippled compared to GLEX. I use a lot of 3rd party apps like Widget Locker, Handcent SMS...etc., and some minor mods and tweaks...and this unit blazes. This time around, no need for custom roms. I get 99.9999 stability now. I honestly cannot believe everything actually works. I am a power user and do not leave any stone unturned....so believe me, the i747m rocks big time.

I am a bit leery of the update to 4.1.1 when it supposedly comes out in December for Rogers....because I have never had an Android rom or device run this wickedly well (and I definitely don't want a leaked version) I know that I will appreciate new features but I am sure I will spend over a month fixing tons of little nuances. Also, reading through the forums here, some experience BETTER performance going to JB...and others are extremely disappointing.

Holy long winded reply batman! Hope some of it is of some use to you and others. Cheers :laugh:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jazee:
Yes, I'm appreciating the 2GB of RAM coming from HOX+. I think pretty much any new Android Smartphone in 2013 will have 2GB RAM. I actually didn't realize the S3 had 2GB until after I got it! I also like the slightly slower S4 processor as it appears to be more efficient. Battery life on this S3 seems much better than my HOX+ was with same apps running. There appeared to be an issues on my HOX+ periodically wanting to re-scan my media library (android.process.media) eating up CPU and usually "Music Enhancer" running with it which is a process related to Beats Audio according to HTC. I did have 2800 MP3 files though - maybe it was just going to take a week for it to scan all the files, LOL. I'm an Audiophile and Beats is a complete marketing joke. I want my source to be unaltered so I can set my own EQ settings depending on listening environment (headphones, car, room)

Can't wait to get the same Rock Sandblast case on this S3 that I had on the HOX+. Most cool, unique feeling and tastefully looking case I've ever seen and super thin.

Enough ranting. I'm obviously much happier with the S3. Considering it came out 6 months ago, it is a phenomenal achievement by Samsung. Their engineers really are on the ball.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] themadproducer:
Ok you actually got it. That's great. No ranting bro...that's happy pride! :laugh:

I come from heavy ram management experimentation back with my HD2 including using Zram and swap....and I knew the 2gb was going to be another era for me. I would even be so bold as to say, we could use 3gb...again, depending on if you use large apps and games etc. If it was 3gb, the background app limit could go from 50 to something like 85...which means...insane mutitasking...though the apps and OS must be programmed to allow them to stay there in ram. Android OS STILL seems to kill off certain apps etc., after a certain period of idle time...even if limits (50) is not hit and free ram is available.

I have heard some dual core users like us, say in the real world usage, it's just as good as the Quad Core variants. A lot must have to do with IF the apps are written to handle Quad cores.

I have never used beats but I could probably agree based on my knowledge of audio (I am a Sound Tech) It depends so much on the amp/spkr/headphone source including impedance and such. I am sure the digital to analogue conversion on the S3 is probably not the best, but it sounds normal to me. I know we are also able to output the DIGITAL audio from the USB out...in which case, we bypass all internal D/A conversions and can go straight to a external DAC/Preamp/Amp of choice etc.

Recently I rooted my Nexus 4, put on CWM and SuperSU.

I am one of the original WOOT buyers from ancient history. Tried Brilliant Corners, and Flashback. Currently running Clemsin's Beastly because it's fast and everything works. But some newer apps, etc, require later Android ROMs. I have read, and reread, the instructions for Smoother Bean but would like someone to take the time and do a cook book step by step for me.

I am on BL2. I have Clockwork MOD v3.0.2.8 installed. Do I have to go back to the POS Viewsonic ROM? Or can I go and do the DRH nvflash for 350 and then install SmoothBean?

I want to do it right as I got in LOTS of trouble before with the dreaded APX bootloop. Don't want to go through that again. I don't need a "hit this key after.." type instruction, just what procedures are necessary and in what order. And I'm unclear about the update under the instructions for the inverted playstore. Is that required and what exactly is it?

Thanks in advance for the help. This Gtablet is still a nice unit and the developers have done remarkable stuff.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schwinn8:
It's quite simple, and well detailed in the op there. That said, it's using the DRH apx flash first, then get into recovery (no need to boot through), then wipe, and I choose to wipe /system and /data manually, do the formats as directed, then use recovery usb to load in the new rom and apply it.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tincansailor:
Well, yes and no on the quite simple. I may be dense but I don't understand the bit just under the inverted play store in the OP. Is it just about a replacement for the birds? having read through the threads, there are those who don't have the sweet success that the dev got with his Gtab. He admits that it works on his. And others, well, nada. I was hoping to find out what is truly necessary, what is ' a good thing to try' and what is just useless to do when going to Smoother Bean. I am going to try it, just wanted to know what steps give the best chance of a decent install w/o having to tweak glitches after.... For instance, does one get a better result going all the way back to a Viewsonic ROM? Or is it just a waste of time?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schwinn8:
The drh nvflash is required. This eliminates any need for considering the "original Viewsonic rom".

The problems people are running into are simply due to the continued tweaking happening. I have used the rom, and it works quite well, but slowed down for me, which is why I went back to Beasty. I have read that this issue has been resolved, but due to the flurry of tweaks still going on, I am waiting for a bit longer.

Bottom line, remember that these are all hacks. You may or may not have any issues, and the issues are not even fully understood. But the process is well layed out in the op. I added the extra wipes, that's all. If you have specific questions, feel free to ask, but I don't know what more to tell you.
