Military style pants with pockets on the thighs or in a inside jacket/suit pocket. DO NOT PUT IN YOUR BACK POCKET! I had some unexplained reboots whilst in myback pocket.

I use an origial Flip Case. The white one, which is not so white on the inside anymore. It likes dirt.

Quick review of the flip case. It grows on you. At first i thought it was slightly difficult to use, but now after a month the spine is very soft so i just fold it under the back of the phone. This gives added traction as well. The only problem I have really is no big deal and that is that you need to learn to hold it in a different way when you take pictures.

One last thing. If anyone knows or has contact with a case designer I would like one that combines a bumper case with a flip case.

I have a Active Seidio case and holster. I got the gloss white case and its kinda slippery. Not sure if the black one is rubberized as it was for the thunderbolt. The edges are rubber so it's not too bad. However if the black one is rubberized I would go for that one. As far as carrying it the holster is awesome! I'm 6' 150lbs. I do carry it in my pocket when I'm wearing sweats and it's not bad at all. .. I wouldn't know anything about carrying it in skinny jeans as I don't own any.

In my pocket. I don't notice it any more than I noticed my GNex in there. Carried it around last night and today in both jeans and dress pants for work, no problem. I'm not a tall/big guy and I don't wear really baggy pants either. The only way I could see this being uncomfortable is if all you wear are skinny jeans.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] swent:
Hey there,

so I've been using some standard noname pen for some drawing apps along with my S3... but truth is I really hate it.

Its one of those with a pretty thick writing piece, it gives a feeling of not exactly knowing what you draw or what you are tapping onto.

So I was looking for another pen, a pen with a pretty slim tip, giving a more controled experience.

First thing i noticed is that there really aren't alot of those. The ones I've been looking at are made by samsung for their galaxy note and galaxy tab devices.

So here is the question: Are those pens basically compatible with the S3? Who can really give me assurance it will be working?

This is one of the pens I'm talking about: Samsung ETC-S1J9SE

This is the S3 pen with really really bad reviews (I really don't want to buy that one): Samsung ETC-S10CSEG (C pen)

Can someone provide info or suggest another pen?

Thanks in advance!

swent

PS: All I want is basic touch functionality, I know some of these pens have extra buttons or rubber features, I don't care for these extra functions.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kl25:
besides the S pen, another popular one is adonit jot

you can find the s pen cheaper on ebay. was gonna get one for 15.

The note actually has a different interface for the stylus I belive it is similar to a wacom tab, if I recall correctly it uses wacom tech. I don't believe the stylus for the note will work properly with the s3

im using no root and no roms.. my ver is 4.1.1

how much ram ur htc usege after u reboot him?

some help??
[HTC One X] BenPope:
That's not how memory management works in linux. Free RAM is wasted RAM.
[HTC One X] nemer12:
doesnt matter...like the user above me says..FREE RAM IS WASTED RAM...

and stay calm because the OS will free up RAM memory when needed ;) ... like if u play a game some of the apps will be closed by thE OS ..

mine has 200 free ram..something like this..

but as long as everything is SMOOTH just dont worry :) .
[HTC One X] ShadowSide:
thats the point that idc about the ram...

but the phone feels alot of time with some lag issue's not big but not smooth ... in alot of times... eaven in simple flash games....

and my battry is eaten up very quick .... i did just test few things in about 40 min and the battry got about 25% less .... 75% total left
[HTC One X] ArmedandDangerous:
Lag in "simple" games have nothing to do with the amount of free RAM you have. It's either badly coded, or a governer/kernel issue that can be fixed.
[HTC One X] BenPope:
4*40mins is a little short of normal max screen on time, so sounds about right.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haybill:
Do you think that it is sensible to delete any Nandroid Backups, or ClockworkMod Backups, stored on a PC which are based on previous ROMS--i.e. Once you have updated from GB to ICS or currently from ICS to JB--is it wise to delete Nandroid Backups based on the previous ROMS--providing that you are happy with your new ROM and don't intend to go back? In fact, would an ICS ROM be backward installable from JB using Recovery?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Donnie Sins:
It's always good to have at least one back up, in case of 'emergency';) If you have one, you don't need to make one everytime you flash another (I personally almost never do them anymore..).

You can install a Nandroid back up from any Android version you want.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haybill:
Thanks for this--I do have a Nandroid of my current Jellybean but I also have a couple from previous ICS--just wondered if these were now 'obsolete' and should be deleted--I guess, from what you have said, that should I want to return to ICS, then there is a reason to keep these backups.

Thanks for the reply.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aperseghin:
So since I've been using the new jelly bean OS 4.2 I've noticed how the wonderful widgets automatically move as you attempt to place 1 but I've also noticed that the widgets take up more space in the need some times. Try placing the analog clock on 1 of your screens and then place icons around it, you will see that if you could overlap widgets or overlap widgets and icons you could use your screen real estate more efficiently. No I'm not a developer but I think that if someone could make that work it would be a very useful app.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dmwitz:
Give SSlauncher a try. You can move icons and widgets pixel by pixel and overlapp if you wish. You can get very nice effects with overlapping text for time and date :D

Sslauncher also lets you place icons on pages that link to other pages. Very useful if you have many pages and don't want to swipe all the time. You can even have a different wallpaper on each screen.

There is bit of a learning curve and the out-of-box (first setup) is terrible. Otherwise it is just your fantasy that limits how your UI look!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tazmaniondvl:
Yes for general questions I agree with that, but when you are trying to get something developed it seems more plausible to post it in a development page

[Galaxy S III General] Pard0ned:
I was thinking it might be helpful to make a separate thread for general discussion. I was seeing a lot of chatter in the main thread, which can get annoying when looking for help with ROM issues. And to keep the ROM thread itself solely for bug reports etc. As it should be.

I'm hoping this can be a place for helpful discussion and general chat about the ROM.
[Galaxy S III General] Maesedroid:
Really nice initiative, but regarding only to missing apks and personal likes i really doubt this thread catches the proper attention.

Hello

Sry for writing in this thread for bug report. But i have no permissions to write in dev forum so far. i'm using anonorom v16. VoIP doesn't work well. (Tested with fullwipe and reinstall.of.skype and tango) my gf can't hear m voice. I've trieed anything but it doesn't work. She can't hear me speaking to her (on video calls same.problem). And the gallery app is lagging alot. It needs time to load and if i want send a pic fast via whatsapp it needs to much time to select the pic. Sometimes there are lags in menu too. Can't tell you how but it happens. I've never restored system data from old stock rom or something. Am i the only one that expierence these problems?

edit 07.12.2012://

updated to anonorom v17

thankfully the anonorom v17 is based on the official release so VoIP now works!!!

in v16 you got also camera bugs (no focus and zoom) but in v17 is ok!

[HTC Inspire 4G] aybarrap1:
I have looked but not found any specifics on my question. I installed 3.20.502.52 RUU when my phone was already S-off and rooted prior due some issues I was having (big mistake, I know). I re-installed a recovery no problem (still s-off) and have been using custom ROMs since. I am actually thinking about flashing RUU 2.47.502.7 which was the original update to Gingerbread from Froyo because I am looking into playing around some with UOT. My concern is whether I will actually be able to flash the ruu safely or not. Since my bootloader was updated to 2.0, will it be downgraded back to 0.85? If so will I be able to utilize AAHK again?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gizmoe:
The ruu can't run on an older hboot than the one included in ruu. You can use a PD98IMG though to flash the older gingerbread hboot and then run ruu.

---------- Post added at 09:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:41 PM ----------

Here is that IMG if you need it.

HBOOT 0.85.0024 PD98IMG
[HTC Inspire 4G] aybarrap1:
Sounds simple enough. So once I flash the older hboot and run the ruu, I should be able to use AAHK to obtain root? Flashing the hboot should leave my s-off intact.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gizmoe:
You will remain s off. If you want to remain on that ruu with root by using the hack kit you would have to revert back to s on before running option 1 again. Hack kit option 1 won't run successfully if you are s off already. I would just re flash recovery and then find a rooted version of the stock ruu and flash via recovery or use a PD98IMG.
[HTC Inspire 4G] biglittlegato:
After going back to the old hboot and flashing a recovery, I recommend flashing ClearDroid 1.3.0, booting and then flashing 1.3.1 without wiping. It is a very stable, customized version of the Gingerbread Sense 2.1 rom.

Sent using the power of the dark side.
[HTC Inspire 4G] aybarrap1:
Reverting to S-off

I know that AAHK has the option to revert back to stock unrooted and S-on. I tried it back when I first rooted just for the sake of doing so (was out of warranty anyway). If I flash the older bootloader, will AAHK revert everything to unrooted and s-on regardless of what ROM I am using? I am currently on CM7. If leaving CM7 in place and flashing the PD98IMG.zip then AAHK immediately after will work it will actually save time.

I am wanting to do some UOT from scratch on this so I can learn. I have upgraded my contract and got the AT&T Galaxy S3. Now I am taking the Inspire to use as a test phone and personal ROM development learning just because. I want to have fun with it since I am no longer relying on it as my daily phone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gizmoe:
I don't see why that wouldn't work. As long as you have the older hboot it should do the stock s on process. Then just run option 1. You should dabble in using dsixda kitchen if you want to start learning Rom cooking. You can take the rom.zip from the ruu and just root it and install busy box and create your own Rom.zip.
[HTC Inspire 4G] aybarrap1:
I will take a look at dsixda. Thank you for your feedback.

[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] axyllum:
Hi friends of XDA,

I think this might be helpfull for some of you trying to compile kernel from source for S5830i, for the first time.

If you are following the great tutorials to build your first kenrel like:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1748297 from thewadegeek

The first thing taht will happen, is that you cant pull defconfig from /proc/config.gz for S5830i.

Why? There is no such file for your device in there.

Normally the next you will do, is go to the stock sources readme file. And will find out the defconfig is totoro_defconfig

You will compile the kernel with no errors, and you will feel very happy, until you flash your recently compiled kernel and see that you get stuck in the boot_logo screen.

Ok, dont panic, solution is very easy. Samsung readme file is a general readme.

Here is the quid of the question:

totoro_defconfig is not the correct defconfig for S5830i.

S5830i defconfig is bcm21553_cooperve_defconfig

You will find this defconfig in the sources, at:

common/arch/arm/configs folder

Hope this helped. If it helped dont doubt to press the thanks button, this will be very appreciated.

Thank you and sweet kernel development.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] GermainZ:
Samsung's readme file isn't general, they just took the Galaxy Y's readme (even the model says GT 5360). ;)

What's stranger is that the CHN sources have the correct info.

Also, I didn't need to pull anything. I just used the default config:

export ARCH=arm
export CROSS_COMPILE=<path>
make bcm21553_cooperve_defconfig
make -j16
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] axyllum:
Hi GermainZ,

Thats right,never had a look at the CHN readme. I wonder why the other sources are uploaded looooollll strange Samsun guys.

Never the less, forgot to post the next in the original thread.

I recomend to have an original copy of bcm21553_cooperve_defconfig as when you start modifing it some options may fail and its recomended to have a fresh one to copy paste quicly.

Even more for my kernel i copy original file and rename it to nit_defconfig and give it a version number ej nit01_defconfig, its agood practice have latest working defconfig as you will be modifying the file a lot, btw nit is how i call my kernel as you all ready know, this comes from new innovative technologies the name of one of my companys i created recently ;)

But good appreciation GermainZ is always my pleasure to talk with you :)

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] trendiggity:
I've been reading a bit into this and it seems a few people are having issues with the way Jelly Bean handles notifications and vibration.

With ICS, my phone only vibrated when it was in VIBRATE from the drop down menu (imagine!). If I had it set to SOUND, sounds would play whenever the phone rang/beeped/clicked/messaged/emailed/facebooked, but would NOT vibrate.

If I wanted the phone to sound AND vibrate I would check that box under Settings>Sound>Ringtone and Notifications.

Now with Jelly Bean, my phone plays sound AND vibrates (even if this is unchecked in Settings>Sound). I can disable this by unchecking "also Vibrate when notified" under Messaging>Menu>Settings>Notification Settings, but if I do the phone won't vibrate for ANY text notifications, even when the phone is in VIBRATE.

This is driving me crazy. I only want the phone to vibrate if I can't hear it.

Has anyone else run into this and/or figured out a work around? I feel like these are all a bunch of toggle switches and the right combination of them will allow me make the phone operate how I want it to. :\
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] trendiggity:

No one has experienced any issues with the notification system overhaul, eh?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] JRockPSU:
I've noticed something odd - after an unknown/random amount of time of using my phone, when I cycle through the Vibrate/Mute/Sound on settings (in the notification window), the phone will vibrate when it gets set to Sound. Previously it would only ever vibrate when it's set to Vibrate. If I reboot the phone this issue goes away. I'm wondering if some app that I had opened has a notification setting where it always vibrates, even when the sound is on.
