Unmount and remount system in your recovery. Then it should work.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Alexander DeLarge:
Alright so I'm purchasing a device for my uncle. If I was purchasing it for myself, the answer would be simple if it were for myself (Motorola can go **** itself after the way they treated my Bionic and my Droid 3) but he lives in the middle of no where and I mean the middle of no where. They only offer dial-up at his house and basically this phone is his only connection to the world and I'm certainly worried about radios and reception. I know that it all depends on the area overall but I'm hoping to get a general consensus of what will receive better reception.

I know that Motorola locks down their phones and I know that they are known for good reception but in my experience, a open phone means a better experience all-around but this really isn't a trade-off situation. I need a phone that will receive 3G, he'll never receive 4 bars or anything like that but even 1 or 2 would be a much needed improvement.

If any of you guys live out in the boonies or anything like that, please let me know what your experience is. Here is a somewhat general area of where he lives. Just look at the map and you'll see what I mean.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ddurandSGS3:
people complain about the reception. ive never had issues with it though. in fact i was with my brother in a poor service area over the holiday and i had slightly better reception with my GS3 versus his droid razer (not max or HD)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dnar56:
Reception is pretty good from my experience playing with the modems, but I would say go with a Motorola or hTc for reception reasons.

If reception only criterion, Droid Maxx hands down
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NickTheMajin:
Signal strength on this phone is absolutely terrible. I don't think I've ever seen my GS3 go under -100dBM. My Rezound constantly hovered around the 55-60 range. Everything else is perfect, but if signal strength is the only criteria I wouldn't recommend a Samsung phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jm700wx:
For what it is worth, I have a SG3 running the latest jb leak and my wife has a stock razr maxx. Our signal is the same wherever we go. My Rezound did have slightly better signal than both of these but not by much. Hope this helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] crygon:
I live in Kansas and as much as Motorola pisses me off they have much better reception out in the sticks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pyroemaniac:
Definitely go with an HTC phone if you want the best reception, HTC has always been on top in that department from my experience.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
I have seen just as many folks complain about signal issues with htc...moto is definately known for its radio quality. However I have yet to run into anybody with a device that gets substantially better signal than my s3. I have compared my device on the edge of 4g coverage against 3 razr's...they were all within -5db signal of eachother. The thing with samsung is your mileage will vary...some devices get grea signal others not so great. As previously mentioned, get the s3, if reception is bad simply return it within 14days.

I've personally had the best luck with HTC phones in the signal department.

Samsung is kind of known for weak signal compared to other phones.

Motorola, to me, is irrelevant. So I won't comment on that.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] huedawg:
RAZR maxx is far far better in terms of reception and maintaining signal strength . The S3 really lacks in this department .
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JustSomeDude:
I love my sg3, but for reliability of signal outside of major coverage areas, it'd be maxx hands down. I can't even make phone calls in my house, where I could perfectly with my Rezound and the gf's Razr. So especially if your uncle doesn't care about rooting and roming, get him the maxx.

My wife has a MAXX, I have the GS3. Side by side we have nearly identical signal. Within a couple dBm. We live in the boonies also. Check the coverage map on the Verizon website. Its pretty accurate once you zoom in. I am VERY fortunate to have VERY strong 4G at our house. Definitely check the map that will let you about type and strength of signal in general. And I said said about the phone they are nearly identical.

Can flash the roms from this forum on my tmobile galaxy note 2?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gogetalvl4:
Device and Software: HTC Inspire 4g, JellyTime r29(previously Android Revolution HD 6.3.1)

Problem:

Cannot choose how to connect to PC(no usb options appear on the phone), the phone starts charging as soon as I plug it in.

Possible Cause:

I connected my phone to a USB port on a car stereo and my phone and the stereo kept flipping back and forth between screens. I disconnected the phone immediately, but the USB connected icon was still in my notification bar. I restarted the phone and everything seemed fine until I tried to plug my phone in 3 days ago.

Things I've Tried Already:

-Restarting the phone

-Pulling the battery

-Trying different USB Ports

-Trying different cables

-Trying different PCs

-Trying USB Debugging both on and off

-Trying fastboot on and off

-Trying an "auto-mount" app(Multi-Mount SD)

-Trying "USB Mass Storage" App for Jelly Bean

-Setting Disk Drive mode as default and turning the "Ask Me" option on and off

-Reflashing the ROM (followed these directions for flashing: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1257731)

-Flashing the USB fix found here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24198708&postcount=90

-Flashing a new ROM

-Searching for a solution(derp).

Try a different ROM?

When you fall, don't expect anyone to help. Expect the floor
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gogetalvl4:
I was thinking about it, but this one has been working fine for months so It seems unlikely to me that that's the cause, especially when i haven't come across anyone running the same ROM with the same problem.

I'll still think about it, I dunno what ROM I'd switch to though. I liked CyanogenMod 7 but that one wouldn't run videos correctly for some reason :\

Not really sure how that's relevant, but ok.

Well that sucks. I did get it to come up once by flashing a rooted stock rom, but when I selected disk drive nothing showed up on my PC, and when I disconnected it and reconnected it the icon wouldn't show up anymore XP

I just realized I put this in the wrong forum :P.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuyInTheCorner:

Try going to a fully stock state (S-ON, stock no root) and see if it helps. If not, definitely a port problem.

First flash a different rom see if the same issue happens in that rom. You can also boot into recovery and try mounting the sd card before flashing a ruu. You may also want to reinstall the drivers for your phone (the drivers on your pc).

I've reinstalled the drivers that come with the Advanced Ace Hack Kit multiple times. Do you think I should I uninstall them and use the stock drivers?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teichopsia:
Yeah, sorry about that. I skimmed through the post. After submitting the reply I saw that you already tried a different rom. You could give that a shot, installing htc sync. Have you tried the sd card on a different phone, or connected directly to the computer or a different sd card on your phone? Besides this I'm out of ideas.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gogetalvl4:
Yup, the SD card works on my old Samsung Rant. I'll try installing the stock drivers, thanks for trying to help.

I'm still sticking with a port replacement, it's the last thing that's left (as far as I can think of)

Hey, anybody knew how to block in-app ads with rom toolbox pro? I tried but failed. The toolbox can detect softwares with built-in ads. Take MX player as an example: in the disable components option, the "com.google.ads.adactivity" has been ticked, but the ads remained. (I tried rebooting). Do I need to block ads also in the Ad Blocker section? HTC One X, official 4.04 rom, rooted. Anyone could help me? Thanks

ps. Another thing sounds weird to me: all apps' ad components in the "disable components" option were ticked automatically. I assumed it should let the user choose whether to block it or not?
[HTC One X] matt95:
Use adaway
[HTC One X] Phantom_11:
Yeah, thanks. I further tried, and also on my old wildfire. It turned out it's just the ad blocker of Toolbox doesn't work on MX player, although it recognizes its ad component. For some other apps, there are no in-app ads after unticking the ad components.

Last month we heard that the HTC One X and One S handsets were about to get the jump to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean.

So good news if you've been twiddling your thumbs, wondering where it is.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Identity Crisis:
Hello everyone. I just rooted my HTC Evo 4g today via the HTCDev method. The end result shows:

" *** UNLOCKED ***

SUPERSONIC EVT2-3 SHIP S-ON

HBOOT - 2.18.0001

MICROP-041f

TOUCH PANEL-ATMEL224_16ab

RADIO - 2.15.00.12.19

Dec 21 2011, 12:50:32 "

Now, since today was the first time I've ever rooted a phone, I am not sure how much that limits/gives me access to certain things. I've been reading hours upon hours of threads on multiple sites, and frankly, my brain is tired. I understand there are countless custom ROMS out there, so I'd personally love to download and use one that possesses the following:

- Ice Cream Sandwich OS

- Working camera and camcorder

- Stable, smooth, and fast

- Has a ton of compatible themes

- Wi-fi works (and eventually 3G)

I think that pretty much covers it, and I hope that's not too demanding of a list. It doesn't have to be the newest ICS rom or anything. Hopefully just anything that covers most, if not all of the above.

Also, how can I tell that the phone is truly rooted? I see it says unlocked, but when I tried to use the Adfree app, it keeps telling me it is "unable to get root", which I fear means the phone isn't really rooted. I searched around the web for some answers, but they all left me scratching my head (Superuser permissions...?). Thank you in advance.

Correct me if I'm wrong, don't you need to be S-OFF to flash roms?

And an answer for your question is to just try them all out. If you are looking for a custom OS with cameras working, get CyanogenMod7 and theme it to look like ICS, Jellybean or a spaceship. Cm7 is great with themes. There are a lot for it. Whatever you prefer.

All went perfectly well and I was able to enter all my setup and account details after the initial boot of the phone.

When I tried to re-install apps from Google Play, however, (Titanium Backup Pro, Quickboot) the phone hangs at the Samsung Splash screen and won't go any further. I re-tried the procedure 3 times but each time the result is the same.

Can anyone tell me what the problem could be? I followed all the instructions about wiping etc. correctly.
