Cool. Thanks. I'll look into it. I appreciate it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Speedin07si:
Works for me every day. I've had that app since my og epic.

It basically forces your phone to roam on the nearest roaming tower.

Sent from Pluto.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hdnet1:
Works well for me. I use it in conjunction with a Sprint corporate prl that gives 3g on roaming. There are a few slow towers here in town and if I need data I'll force roam. Oddly enough Sprint has faster data speeds where I live in the middle of town than Verizon does, so I don't have to use it much. It's a godsend when traveling though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RyanJKremer:
I'm suffering from the Alltel tower issue as well. They are messing with signals for all three major carriers in my area.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ascertion:
Its weird because I can roam on Verizon only prls, but when I force it via roam control, it will not work. I'll try it again later just to be sure.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xTMFxOffshore:
I have pretty good signal at work, when I can use my phone anyway. So I'll report back on how it works once I head to my friends place again where I have huge LOS problems.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RyanJKremer:
Yeah... I had one bar or less sitting at my desk, so I dropped $4 on roam control and gave it a shot- forcing roam gave me no signal at all. I may have to try the 00001 prl and see if that gives me a signal.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Dalmus:
I don't necessarily think it's an AllTel issue. I have the same problem in Northern Wisconsin, which is mostly old AllTel towers (now Cellcomm). My S3 has a gel of a time maintaining s signal on the towers, no matter what PRL or modem I use.

However, my S2 works perfectly fine. I've even had then both on the same PRL to verify... I would get 3-4 bar with good 3g speeds on the S2, but often I would have LOS at the exact same time with the S3. My ZTE tablet also has far better reception in these areas than the S3.

I'm beginning to think there is something in the S3 hardware or firmware that was designed to make roaming more difficult.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ascertion:
I bought roam control back in March and its never worked for me once. Dev leaves email unanswered. :'(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Dalmus:
What happens when you try to activate it? What do you mean by "never worked for me once?"

More importantly, what city do you live in?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Speedin07si:
Works 100% Every time for me. Used it the majority of today.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jdogg836:
It's worked great for me. What issues are you having? Maybe it's the vague nature of the emails or something.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xTMFxOffshore:
I miss the Photon radio. Never had signal issues.

Sent From My Galaxy S3 With XDA
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ascertion:
I get LoS as soon as I go roam only. Somebody mentioned before that it's because of the Alltel sites in my area but I have no idea how to elaborate any further on this.

I have turned on 3G roaming PRLs (such as 12124 and 56009), but they never work on forced roaming, always LoS. I tried roam control on CM10 yesterday and when I hit roam only, nothing happened. And I tried selecting GS3 in the settings and also tried Galaxy Nexus (figured it was worth a shot on CM10, since it's AOSP.)

Was having performance issues with stock browser and tried many others but then tried changing the user agent from android to froyo under advanced settings and now it is working just as snappy for me as dolphin browser etc. Also pages seem to just work better. For example I use online virtual coarkboards and with this agent I can zoom and rotate images where I could not in other browsers. Is this just me or design changing the agent really have this good of an effect?
[Captivate General] up_on1:
Hello everyone!

So, as most of you know; well actually all of you know that I'm a "noob" (kinda funny because I'm super passionate about riding mortorcycles; and in that scene we use a similar term for novice riders; "squids" is what we call them) but I stumbled upon something; Now I know a lot you veterans guys are gonna know this but this is for other noobs out there like me, I only say this because I'm baffled that this scene can be just as discouraging as the riding scene; My phone was being difficult, super laggy, super glitchy, my music app was cutting in and out, etc; I downloaded team acids member dsexton702's adrenaline mod; (of course I made a back up, I really didn't like that lesson haha) Right before I was about to restore it, I thought to myself; "how many apps do I have granted on my phone that controls overclocking?" I counted on my fingers, 1; the rom I'm running comes w/a bland overclock that I enabled, 2: I downloaded "android overclock by jrummy" and enabled that, 3: I downloaded rom toolbox pro by jrummy, enabled that as well 4; I downloaded the semaphore manager and yes enabled that as well, yes yes I know, I'm foolish but I'm not done yet LOL, Last but not least I downloaded "setcpu" by Michael Huang. And you all know... yes I enabled it. So I thought to myself which one do I wanna keep, "setcpu" is what i'm currently trying out. I uninstalled each one, well I actually kept "rom toolbox pro" because its filled with awesome custom UI downloads; I just make sure I disable when done so it doesn't interfere. After I uninstalled each one, I would do a recovery reboot each time. I'm not sure if it matters; but didn't think it would hurt! (even though I read in one case, u can lose root if reboot to frequently) After I did all that; I'm shocked how smooth it is. that's an understatement too. There isn't a combination of words to describe how well my phone is working! Daily driver; samsung captivate, running slim bean 4.1.2 thank you for all the hard work! Love this rom, I also downloaded team acid member dsexton702's adrenaline injection; thank you very much d for your hard work as well! I only wish I could do half the things these guys can do! Oh and I've only been in this scene for about a month; So I'm really super duper new haha! Anyways to all a good night! Pic, currently Thank you again; I couldn't be happier with my phone!
[Captivate General] m1batt1:
I just wanted to add my two cents about which cpu/kernel control to consider. I've never used setcpu that you are currently on but I would definitely suggest you try out Semaphore manager since you are on Slimbean and it comes stock with Semaphore kernel. Using it's manager will likely give you more control over the cpu and kernel than what you are currently using.

[HTC One X] geqo:
I ordered my HTC One X in South Africa 3 weeks ago, and was all excited to be getting it. A week later, the company contacts me to say they don't have stock, but that they would contact their retail stores to see if they could find a phone for me.

2 weeks after that, and I got the final email telling me that they were unable to find a phone for me. My HTC One X dreams were shattered.

I've now switched to getting a Samsung Galaxy Note 2... so I just wanted to come apologize for being (forced to be) a traitor to the One X.

See you guys in a couple years when I upgrade to a new HTC...

[Windows 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
Do you have any removable storage devices (flashdrives, external hard drives, etc.) attached? It sounds like one of them may be having problems.
[Windows 8 General] Talderon:
How are you installing the OS? From DVD (burned or original), USB Drive or other?

As posted above, remove all removable storage media (external HDD's, Thumb Drives and whatnot) and try again.

If you are installing from a USB Drive, try a different one.

If you are installing from a burned DVD, try re-burning it at a slower speed.

If this is an original DVD, I would try and locate an ISO, download it and burn it at a slower speed.

I know ISO's are normally considered WAREZ, but those are not the illegal parts, it's the distribution of serial keys and the use of those keys.

PM Me if you need help.

Thanks!
[Windows 8 General] XxSilent.NightmarexX:
The first try I did it from the upgrade assistant and it failed so I tried burning a Windows 8 copy I downloaded and it gave me an error trying to burn it. It was an IO error and then I tried installing a copy I had before and it gave me the remove all storage stuff. It never happened to me before
[Windows 8 General] offspin2040:
What does that upgrade assistant say?

Try this: take a backup of data then extract the setup files,install from setup on windows 7.Click dont keep anything and continue.installation should succeed .Then,in windows 8 restore backup

Hope this helps
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lukin321:
Hopefully you guys can give me some insight here. I've gone through 5 mini usb cables and 1 car charger in the last few weeks. They'll work perfectly for charging my phone and then just stop out of the blue and never work again. I've tried different brands and it's happening with all of them. Could it be the phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Herman76:
Are you using any fast charge kernel?

Swype'ed on my CM10 Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
Your phone is just drawing power, so it's unlikely that your phone smoked your charger.

Check your wall.

No, I haven't flashed any kernels and it's happened with 3 different ROMs

Put the music file you'd like to use in your notifications folder.

It should show up when you look through the collection of notification sounds.

In your internal storage, put them in /media/audio/notifications/

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
/media/audio/xxx is the pre-ICS way of doing it.

[Asus Transformer TF700] Meth_Badger:
My mobile dock is malfunctioning to the point where I can't even use it to type since it appears as if the majority of the keys are mapped to other buttons and some just plain refuse to work. [Example:- '2' Key inputs both '2Q' simultaneously and also turns on the bluetooth, Backspace key turns the pad off and 'Y' key takes a screen shot. :S]

I've no idea how this has come to pass and I'm somewhat confident no liquids or damage has happened to the mobile dock....or atleast not on my behalf. The only thing i've done out of the ordinary is keep my infinity tablet plugged it into it pretty much since I bought both tablet and dock late this summer.

I've done a cold reset using the power and volume buttons and as far as I know I've all updates...I'm at a loss as to what to do next, especially since I can't seem to initiate or find proper information on how to initiate a download of Mobiledock firmware if that is indeed the case.

I don't live in America so taking it back to 'best buy' isn't an option right now short of ordering a whole new mobile dock, despite this one still being able to accept and utilize USB devices for game controllers and external hard drives.

Don't know what to do...Hope one of you guys can help me.

Cheers.
[Asus Transformer TF700] bhambalek:
Send it back to Asus. It should still be covered under warranty.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Meth_Badger:
In the end I just bought another dock, which I'm currently using and typing on now. I'll do as you said and just send it back. I'm sure that was one of the faulty ones with the chipset malfunction that caused it to drain battery life as well.

Cheers for the response, mate.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] xLoveHateLegend:
So, I've always been a cwm fan but on this phone it seems a lot of people prefer twrp over cwm. My cwm works fine, whereas it seems others have issues with it. So, here is my question to you guys:

What are the perks of twrp, and why do you prefer it over cwm?

On a side note, because I don't want to make two threads... I have yet to get 4g on this phone, but I've had plenty occasions where I'm in the same room as other people and they get 4g but I don't. My mobile data is set to CDMA/4G, should I change that?

I like twrp better because I don't like wearing my volume and power buttons out and twrp is touch screen. There are more options in twrp such as naming your recovery, for example.. Flash it and see.

On my shift I prefered cwm but I like twrp better on the q. Just feels more natural to me.

True. TWRP is smooth and yeah, touch screen and I could use 3 pages about how advanced the options are (file manager for one).

[HTC One X+] cheater2:
Hey guys

i have a Problem with the Playback from some mp3's.

So i open the file with the standard player, it say's: "This type of Audiofile can't be played"...

But if i open the Audiofile over the "Root Explorer", it will be played with this player.

What is it?

Any other App from the Store make exactly the same bug...

The exactly same file's was played on ICS without any failure... but Jelly Bean??

In hopes that the new firmware (1.14.401.18) will fix the problem, i had flash the Revolution HD 4.0 Rom but this is not the case...

What can i do?

It is not acceptable! Such problems were among the old Windows Mobile 6 times...:mad:

PS: The Custom Rom is NOT the Problem. I have this Bug since i unpacked the One x+...
[HTC One X+] Yezariael:
I have no problem with music (FLAC or MP3) at all, so it must be a problem on your side (ROM, other installations, MP3 or anything)... Not a general HOX+ problem...
[HTC One X+] cheater2:
Sure?

Look at the Changelog from the xxx.18 Firmware, if you're on the xxx.16 and get the official update...

"fix Problem's with mp3-Playback"...
[HTC One X+] Yezariael:
According to your post I should have problems with .16 firmware, but I don't have any issues ;) Sound quality is fine as well, bluetooth no problem and sound very well... :)

I am on .16 and now have just the update for .6 available... where can I see the changelog for updates?
[HTC One X+] cheater2:
You must download it and where you can choose to install or abort this Update, you see the little List of change's...

The one Point with the mp3's fix was the reason for me, to risk to flash an custom rom because i have only rooted it before.

I must correct me:

The MX Player, rather a Video Player, is able to play the MP3's. All now, without issues..

But not the "Beats" player from HTC, wich is perfectly integrated... Damn it!!

Can anybody help me??

Please :(
[HTC One X+] Yezariael:
Therefore I don't have this update available I have no changelog ;)

I use PowerAmp, everything plays fine... And I have an equalizer which is not possible with standard player...
[HTC One X+] cheater2:
Oh yeah, i love this guys.

Never use this app and say "oh, i don't have any problems with this, i don't know what you have..."

Sorry for that, but your answers here was the same as a spam email in my mailbox... :(

In your first post you said

So don't get me rude this way...
[HTC One X+] cheater2:
You may be a nice guy, but i have nothing utility from your answer's. It's right?

So, my thread is full of answers and everbody think, cheater2 was helped now...

You know?

I hope, that the Revolution 5.0 fix it now...

i will be trying to flash it today :)
[HTC One X+] Dangerously:
I have over 300 MP3 files and no problem playing them with the stock HTC player.

Many players will only work with standard bit rates and ID3 tags. If any are not using the proper standard it might fail to play.

The reason other players are working is most likely they are ignoring the bad data or will play nonstandard bit rates.
[HTC One X+] cheater2:
You may be right, these files have different bit rates... -> but why can i play since gingerbread all mp3's without any failure?

and now makes JB difference between the rates?

What goes wrong with my Stock-Player? :confused:

PS:

In hope that the Problem solve itself, i waiting for Revo 5.1 and a working download-server...
[HTC One X+] cheater2:
I have flashed since 2 days the revo 5.1 and it will be played all mp3's now.

There is a new Version of the Stock Player :)

Many thanks to the Deleoper's ;)

Hi all, I just brought a S3 need some advice? if i root my phone do i get better battery life compare to the stock rom? can someone link me to the root page? thank you
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] koolboyztn:
root is the must do things before u can do anything else, just root only wont do any good to yr device, all the info is in here, look around and u will find it, enjoy.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] brokensmile209:
what is the best rom everyone recommend?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] plat_:
As a new owner of an S3, I would suggest the FreeGS3 ROM, but you should spend a few days and become familiar with the process of rooting and installing new ROMs, because you don't want to rush it and brick it.

No ROM is created equal though, so try a couple and stick with what feels best to you, but in general ROMs and even kernels if you decide to take that course can provide an increase in battery life which varies between ROMs.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Pennycake:
Personally, I would recommend taking a look at what's eating your battery life right now and see what you can do to make it better without rooting.

After that, determine if you want or need root access. Root access doesn't give you a new ROM - you'd have to flash one and it would overwrite the stock - and you need to think about the features you want and features you might lose before doing that.

You need to know how to troubleshoot your battery life - otherwise you might end up flashing a bunch of ROMs you don't like and that don't give you the results you want. You need to read about these ROMs and find out what they offer and how they are different from stock and what about that appeals to you.

Just having root on the stock ROM will give you more options for battery life control than un-rooted. But even without root there are things you can do. I'd work my way down - from simplest to hardest - that way you acquire the skills you'll need as you go.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Woody:
@OP read the two responses above mine. Best answers you are going to get.

Just because you are Rooted, means nothing. It is what you do with those privileges that mean everything. Install an app called Betterbatterstats and it will tell you what precisely is eating your battery.

Hmmm, if there was only a thread about battery life and how to get more out of your phone, with direct links and various methods to use. (Hint: see my signature)

For best ROM ideas, just go into Dev sections and look at the OPs of a few that spark your interest. Then read the last 10 pages or so to see if there are any bugs. If you find one that you like, start reading.

Best ROM threads are frowned upon and generally turn into pissing matches and are closed.

Moved to Q&A and closed.
