You can keep your money and follow the rules, they are there for a reason. This rule particularly to keep clutter down, this is the galaxy s3 forum not the galaxy s3 vs every other phone forum. No one wants to sift thru a dozen or more comparison threads to find the info they're looking for. There's a general android section here on xda where you can go start all the comparison threads you want. Or you can use the sticky and put your comparisons there just like every other memeber is required to. If you really want to.donate money donate to Autism Awareness, St Jude's Children's Hospital, The Shriners or Habitat for Humanity or something. You couldn't afford to shut me up

I have followed the official rules you just linked.

But it seems like you implied that I have broken some other rules.

Would you mind pointing out which ones I broke exactly?

And if you happened to have been talking out of your wide behind, would you mind apologizing at the same time?

not only has there been a statement made by somebody who controls the forum flow, but they have also closed a thread after stating that they would. the rule that you broke would most likely fall under the "clutter" category. instead of pming the moderator directly, you have cluttered the forum. since the comparison threads clutter the forum, it doesn't take a genius to realize that a thread about comparison threads would also be considered clutter.

obvously, the moderator of this forum has stated a rule. you took it upon yourself to argue with them publically. i'm assuming you wanted to gain support from other like minded users, but that thread is open, and i don't see a massive amount of people posting in protest. why would a new thread garner anymore support for the cause? like i said, you could have just pm'd him, but i'd really have to assume that a thread about a topic already discussed is just pointless. no?

Hi all

I am new here, and yes I am not a developer, as well as, I am so happy that I have been moved to SGS3 after using iPhone. Android world is amazing. The reason I am posting such thread, its because I want to share my little experience with ROMs for the SGS3.

I used to use the Cyanogenmod 10 the nightlies, with some issues and bugs are there, and I was looking for such ROM which can handle the Daily use without any problem, finally I found this one Resurrection Remix JB v3.1.2, which is the best in my opinion for those who are using the CM10 nightlies until they CM team come out with the stable mode.

it is in this thread, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1815285

I used it, it is stable, battery friendly and smooth, no issues at all.

I am just sharing my experiences, because I was mistaken when I was thinking about CM10 is the best yet, but when I try the RR I found out, the truth.

I would like to thank the management of the forum, and the members as well, and I am so sorry if there is any typos mistakes or such things, because my native language is the Arabic.

I am from Dubai, and I am so happy to be a member here.

Still, the words "best" and "rom" shouldn't be used in the same sentence. "best rom" threads aren't allowed whether you're asking for the specifically or you're stating which the best rom is. It's all a matter of one's own preferences.

Hi all,

I recently got the Kindle Fire version 10.2.3, and installed ADW Launcher for it. This worked fine, but then a few days after installing, one of my widgets stopped displaying. I tried to remove the widget and add it again, but after removing it I couldn't get it back. When I clicked on the "widget" button to add it, nothing happened.

I tried to remedy this by updating to ADW Ex, and everything else worked fine, but again, I cannot add or alter or do anything with widgets.

When I press down on the home screen and the options pop up, all of them work, except for 'widgets'. I can see the icon, but upon pressing it nothing happens.

I have deleted and reinstalled both ADW and ADW Ex several times, and always the same happens. I don't know what to do! It's really annoying because ADW seems to be the only launcher that works with this version of the Fire. But the widgets are a central function of the launcher and I want them to work!

Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks in advance!

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knightsriot:
What's happening, guys? I had a question. I disconnected my phone a while back & have no plans to get back on Sprint anytime soon (broke college student!)

Anyway, I use my phone as a media player & for the useful apps. My phone has been freezing way too much lately, to the point where I've had to download task killers to prevent apps from launching. I never had this problem before. I blame it on the few times my phone has been dropped. I've tried the Supercharge script, but the freezing continues. I've also tried fresh installs with no luck. I'm currently on the People's ROM 2.21. I have a feeling that it's due to the fact that I'm on BML instead of my usual MTD, but I'm not sure.

So I was wondering, what "phone apps/processes" can I delete, since my phone is no longer in service?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyYan:
Just because it's slow and you want to remove cellular services?

From what I understand it's you're having too much apps that runs at background automatically... Try using Autostarts to cut some of them.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knightsriot:
Not to be rude, but you should re-read my post.

"my phone has been freezing way too much lately, to the point where I've had to download task killers to prevent apps from launching."

After starting a couple of apps, which I know are background processes, I get on the Autokiller Memory Optimizer app (which by the way, is perfect for seeing all apps that are running, including system) & close them. It sucks to be doing it every 15 mins, though. If I forget, then the phone freezes.

I guess what I am asking for is what apps can I remove, since I don't use the actual phone anymore? (dialer, voice mail, etc.)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frostedunit:
Somewhere on here is a list of all the apks on the phone and what they do. A google search should pull it up.

Also, if you haven't done so already, go to the TPR OP and grab the V6 Supercharger script. It works wonders for keep memory free.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyYan:
Yeah I already got it, it's that your phone lags and freezes so you wanna remove some apps INCLUDING cellular services. Yet I insist your trying Autostarts and airplane mode, this combination, if properly set (in Autostarts you can decide whether an app starts during startup, when you turn on WiFi, when you plug in, etc.), can save you a lot of CPU power and memory while keeping the potentials of the apps (not removing them because somehow you may need them)

As for really removing the apps... There are lists floating around telling which APKs can be safely deleted but they're for CM and are based on the "safety" of not losing phone service... So it's really up to you to take the risk. Nandroid backup before you experiment and everything should be fine :)

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frostedunit:
So he can remove them and then reflash a ROM or Odin stock and get all those apks back instead of having to freeze and refreeze apps all the time.

Try using a Tegra 2 tablet for a day then pick up a Nexus 7. Big difference, bigger than I expected. I have a TF101 and N7 both running 1280x800 resolution so that's not a factor. It could be that the TF101 is on 4.0.1 and my N7 is on 4.2.1. It drives me crazy to use my TF101 now.

I'm running 4.2.1 OTA, bone stock (for now) and am not seeing any problems, performance or otherwise.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sudermatt:
I came over from a galaxy s3 which I actually thought was about the perfect size for a phone. I thought I would try the note 2 out just to see if you know I would be able to use some of the extra features such as the pan and maybe some other things. I'm having trouble with the size. I'm not sure I am going to be able to work with this. The Galaxy s3 I could work 1 handed but I am struggling using the note 2 1 handed.

I am just curious if it is just that I am NOT used to the phone, and I will eventually figure out how to use it 1 handed. Thanks in advance for your kind response is.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaRkL3AD3R:
Unless your name is Shaq I doubt you will ever be able to one hand this phone.

But even without being able to do full one hand operation, I am betting you will get used to the size. All things take time. Hell there was a time when I was so used to texting on my old Samsung flip phone back in 2005, that the thought of getting a touch screen keyboard based phone was just blasphemy. And of course when I did get my device, a Droid X, I was really turned off from the keyboard. I hated texting on it and it drove me nuts.

Now today, I can't imagine having a flip phone with those ugly T9 keys, or even a slider phone that has so much wasted thickness for a redundant keyboard.

You'll get used to it, sooner or later. But it grows on you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] flaring afro:
You have to hold it differently. If your fingers are long enough, their tips can still wrap around the phone while it mostly resting on them, not your palm. This gives your thumb much more mobility. It feels weird at first but isn't uncomfortable. I cannot reach both the status bar and buttons without shifting my grip awkwardly, but I still can do that one handed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Haloman800:
It's been three days and I've already gotten used to it, I can't believe how small my former Razr MAXX feels in comparison. I'm 6'2 and have pretty big hands and I am able to 1 hand it in most cases, but it's more comfortable with 2.

Unless you have really small hands. you will definitely get used to it.

That clip thing is called a fly grip I believe. Qbking77 has a YouTube video reviewing it and I think it looks pretty handy. I'm a 6 foot tall man with big hands and I'm afraid I'm going to drop the phone reaching for the notification bar while the phone is sliding in my hand. I've had a lot of different phones and this one is hands down my favorite but I do have the fear of it sliding out of my hand reaching for the notification bar to the home button (try doing that one handed... you'll see what I mean).

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Gerane:
The moment I pulled the note 2 out of the box and put it into my hand for the first time the GS3 was dead to me. I doubt I will ever be able to use a smaller phone without a stylus. I use the stylus nonstop for work and find that I am typically using one hand to hold the phone and the other I have the stylus.

But, I am also 6' 5" and don't really have much issue holding it in one hand and using my thumb to operate it. I usually don't even have issue moving the phone slightly to be able to reach all 4 corners.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MoeDaddy:
Personally when I use my wife's S3 or my old GN after having this phone they seem tiny and I can't even stand using them. People can say what they want but for me a guy with avg size hands I think this phone is perfect. The only Issue I do have is when using my left hand it is a PITA to hit the back button. Samsung should have had the whole area to the right of the home button as a contact area, so that isn't so much a size issue for me but a design issue. Either way I could never go back to a smaller phone now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rolfsted:
The only thing you'll have trouble getting used to are the stares. At the mall.....restaurants especially. I haven't had a quiet meal in the last week. Waitresses and patrons just walk up and say, "That is the biggest phone I have ever seen! What is it? Do you like it.....isn't it TOO big?"

find a way to not have to reach all areas of the phone.

use the special keyboard for you small handed people. lol I'm 6'8" with huge hands, so when my wife complained about it being HUGE we did a test. She held her phone (Rezound) and I held mine.. funny we could reach across the phone pretty much the same with our thumbs. one handed typing is no problem.

I just don't like reaching all the way to the top of the screen to swipe down the notification bar.

So, I took advantage of the gestures built into Nova Launcher. I have it so when on home screen, I just swipe down anywhere and the notification panel will appear. Swipe up and I'll get the most recent apps.

I've gotten used to the phone the point that it just feels.. right. Other phones are tiny little toys now! :)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sleevasteve:
Another advocate of the flygrip here. I agree with the OP in the S3 being a perfect "fit", as I much prefer a phone I can use with one hand. My flygrip actually makes using the Note 2 comfortable. I can easily reach my thumb from the top left corner of the notification bar to the bottom left, past the menu button. Then you can use it as a kick stand in landscape, or upside down portrait works even better(just enable 180 rotation). It's actually sturdy enough to where you can click the menu/home buttons and use the s-pen on it all day without the phone ever toppling over.

Big fan of my flygrip, I'm actually surprised more Note users haven't caught on to them :p

When a 6'6" person tells you that the size of the phone is fine, I don't think the majority of people here should base their decision on those people. The Note 2 in their hands probably looks like the S3 in everyone elses.
