[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FLAWLESSVW:
I thought that screen shot would be misleading after I posted it. I should have pointed out that I ran the test and grabbed the screen shot at 2 completely different times.

I've run the test 3 times (not back to back) always after a fresh boot with ram cleared. Best of 3 so far was 9404. Still much lower than stock which seems strange. Nothing "new" as far as apps since the new rom.

Yes it is a llama :) Very sweet app if you take the time to configure it. You should Check it out.

The jelly bean update removes Internet Calling Capabilities from the Galaxy S 3.

Me as a small business owner where I am the only person I depend on this feature to be able to receive calls all the time. As am sure others of you as well, are to dependent on this feature. I'm in talks with ATT now about revising this because I have a little bit of pull with some higher ups but I know if they don't receive more complaints about this from the community and users of the Galaxy S3 ATT will never fix this issue.

So I beg of you who do need and want this feature please call ATT and start complaining. Otherwise ATT is going to keep taking these types of features from us to force us into either there or other companies pocket books to get the needed features that we are supposed to have already!!!!

Hehehe.... it's not all that bad. We have routers in our trucks, panasonic toughbooks and intranet access. But no internet. The calls come and go due to "load balancing". 16 of us do refrigeration in a very large area (from Williamsburg, Va to the Outer Banks, NC) so evening out the load becomes a necessity, especially if a tech gets stuck on a job that takes longer than anticipated or a tech gets a run of really, really fast calls (ie- "not-at-home" or "It's now working").

Any interest in a Tron theme for TouchWiz, Apex, or Nova Launchers

Others Launchers are okay......i'm not picky and love to flash new stuff

Any thoughts or comments welcome even if you're just a clever punk who likes to flame people cuz your life is devoid of meaning

1. Tutorials for n00bs?

2. Similiar theme that could be modded by swapping image files in the .zip?

3. I have no idea atm how to develop this but I'd be interested in talking with someone more experienced about doing it.

The idea just popped into my head today and it seems like a idea worthy of a new post.

Please don't ask me why I am able to post a new thread before I've made 10 posts. I have no idea why. My guess is that I've been a member for longer than the rule has been in place but I really don't know. Guess I'm lucky like that.....

Wow would love a Tron theme. :D;):beer:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] 00mred00:
what exactly you guys looking for in this theme?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Cab121:
Haven't themed anything in a while but this will be what drags me in.

So I have seen many Tron Legacy theams and most seem to want to focus on the discs, light bike, or actor. Ok not terrible but the desing, artwork, and world of Legacy was created by a very talented and gifted architectural designer.

The foundation of a great Legacy theam should be desinged with Trons unique structure. Glossy black and bloomed cyan blue striped. All the nav bars and information bars should be raised in a glossy curve with a cyan bluish txt.

In fact several variants could be simply made off the same design. Clue's yellowish gold, Rinzler's glowing red, Sam's gray white, and the Program's cyan blue.

Discs should be used in a subtle fassion for utilty or small accent. The characters themselves if any used should be a distance object and never in the foreground.

K fine I have been mulling that around for a while and never got around to it. Its a small portion of the notes I made for a theme I was going to work on...... yea yaknow the going to bit lol. Well id be happy to post more if anyone wants. If not then ill fiddle with some art here and there. Try to offer up what I can if it helps. :D

The usb storage. MTS or whatever you call it . Very slow, terrible for navigating/editing multiple directories/windows at once. Frustrating.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] johnnyutah22:
I had this problem too with my macbook pro then I found a solution tonight. Try this:

1. Install Kies if you haven't already, if you have make sure it's updated.

2. Connect your phone.

3. In Kies, click Tools, then Install Drivers (this will reinstall drivers

4. Download Android File Transfer.

Should work after this. Also make sure you have USB Debugging on and use PTP not MTP.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] g2tegg:
I will be sure to give this a shot tomorrow and send along an update. I rarely use Kies, updated it yesterday but never tried the drivers thing. Android file transfer never used to work but maybe the "install drivers" step is all that's needed.

And thats why I love it here on XDA. Thanks for the help brother!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] darkcurrent:
I agree... coming from a s2 skyrocket, I really miss UMS. Why bother having expandable storage when it takes hours to transfer to a class 10 32gb sd card? That is if I can get it to transfer at all.

I'm now resorting to unmounting sd card and putting it in the computer to transfer files...big PITA

SGS3 Easy UMS doesnt work either.

Edit: Actually, I'm using kies now... still miss drag and drop
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] XD-eh:
Agreed. Always had driver problems with this phone. Sometimes it wouldn't connect because drivers failed to install or "bad hardware ID" pops up in the corner. Only way to get it to work was to restart comp. And it would only work until I disconnected it, then gotta restart again. -.-

I'm gonna switch back to linux once I get some free time. I recommend you do the same.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Anonymously_Unknown:
It was a problem in ICS as well. I think the reason for that they went with MTP is that users would create a "messy" file structure when they randomly dragged and dropped files anywhere on both the internal and external card. Samsung can keep things organized when they encourage you to use Samsung Kies to add files to the device.

The mandate for MTP is also to reduce piracy of protected media files by ensuring the DRM is properly done. In the past, I could connect my phone directly to my Samsung SMART TV and play 720/1080p movies via UMS. This is now blocked with MTP.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] seamus24:
Thanks I also noticed the slow data transfer speed when I upgraded my SII to S3. Thought it was something I was doing wrong. I've changed the default transfer to PTP and will check it out tonight.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Anonymously_Unknown:
Don't bother with PTP. PTP is just a camera. It's not like UMS so you might as well leave it on MTP
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] LSUtigers03:
I was annoyed by this as well. Now when I want to add something to my sd card I just take it out of the phone and put the sd card in my Mac and add files that way. It's a little annoying but its not that big of a deal.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tmagritte:
I think the closest you'll get to a true UMS experience is using Samba Filesharing Server (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.funkyfresh.samba). You can then treat it like a network shared drive.

Of course you'll be limited by your WiFi speed. I think a possibility would be a USB host adapter and a USB ethernet adapter. I'm not sure if Android has support for a USB ethernet adapter but if that works then you should be able to connect to a gigabit switch/adapter and just be limited by USB2 speed.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Jirv311:
It's not just this phone in general. They're all going that way as of ICS (Honeycomb as well) and up. If you use Windows it's not terrible but it is still slower. And yeah trying to use it with my Mac or even my Linux box is just frustrating. The primary reasoning was to merge the data and application volumes to give more space for applications. This is a better explanation of it. I do miss USB storage mode though.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CZ Eddie:
Yep, totally frustrating for me also.

I remove my microSD card when I need to do lots of file management. But it's a clumsy workaround.
