[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] iGoOsE76:
So I recently dropped my sgs3... bottom of my screen cracked boo hoo.. so sad but whatever. . I went through phoneclaim dot com from asurion.. ordering went well and pretty easy... got the phone today and went through a hour of setting up the phone and downloading apps. Then decided to see how much memory the phone had left. It had 11.5gb total.. the phone I have is a 32gb, the phone I ordered was supposed to be 32gb the sicker in the back of the phone said 32gb. But internal was a 16gb. Called customer care from asurion and was told that I have to wait 3 hours till they're systems updates...

By now I was thinking that they tried to scam me.. not sure it could of been a honest mistake, don't they check the devices before they ship these out.. what ever happened to quality control.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] AndroidSamurai:
With my personal experience with T-Mobile and dealing with assurion, things just never work out right.

I had the G1 pre-ordered back in 2008, my friend got his 2 weeks before me. Thing was, we lived in the same apartment complex. 2 weeks after owning my G1 I dropped it and cracked the screen, assurion sent me a Windows Mobile 6 phone instead of my G1. Did the whole calling and being transfered 5 times thing and after an additional 2 weeks I got my G1 back...

Just be patient, they just seem to be very unorganized.

Update

Ok so They sent me a New Phone I mean a New phone. yesterday looked like a refurbished one. the one sent today was in a sealed original box they come in. Now here is where I'm a bit lost. the guy i spoke to yesterday told me to send my old phone back and when the new one arrives it should have it's own return box to send the 16gb refurbish back. the one sent today was a sealed new one without a return box. What do I do with it? keep it or sell it?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bfranklin1986:
Call them and send it back or they'll charge you like $400
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] 1SiK1500:
I had no issue when i did my Claim with Asurion. I kept the Spare Battery, charger, USB Cable and headphones. Now i have two of each. They never said anything or billed me for it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] AndroidSamurai:
As bfranklin stated above: Call them and get a way to send the other phone back or you possibly will be charged for it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] iGoOsE76:
I went to my local T-Mobile store and asked the rep there if they will take it back. Of course they said no.. he told me to send both phones back in the one box and called asurion and ket them know.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] elesbb:
Ha this is why I refuse to have ASSurion. I had this same issue, with quality insurance, when I had my touch pro 2. I went through 7 devices with asurion. They do not check devices before sending them out. I'm 100 percent certain of this.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] twolostminds:
This is a strange one.

Last night I pulled my Maxx out of my pocket and it looked like an inch long piece of string was sticking out of the top of my phone in the place where the back panel and the top of the phone just above the camera and flash meet. I went to pluck it off realized it wasn't a string but a stretchy piece of something in between the two parts of the phone. Now that area of the back panel just above the camera wiggles. Anyone know what that stringy thingy was? Yeah, I know, "stringy thingy" is a real technical term. lol
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Nikorasu:
Glue?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] twolostminds:
It seemed a little more substantial than glue, almost like some kind of rubberized or silicone tape. I remember reading somewhere here on XDA that Moto used some kind of tape to make the Razr water resistant. Could this be the tape?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] iolinux333:
Try holding your phone under water for a few minutes and see if it leaks. If no water leaks in you should be OK.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] brainwash123:
I cannot say for sure but it's probably a rubberized sealant that was applied before the phone was assembled. They're semi-liquid and they cure to the consistency of rubber. After curing they are cut (manually or automatically) using a knife so that they conform to the shape.

I would assume that if the 'filament' that you took out has a constant width then you lost water-proofness for that area. You might be lucky and perhaps only teared part of the width of the sealant.

And no, don't put your phone under the water, it's a bad idea even if the seal is intact. It's splash proof only, not 'diving' proof, huge difference between those two.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] 6stringandy:
If the piece wiggles, chances are its not water resistant anymore. Wouldn't try that just yet.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] iolinux333:
OMG it was a joke
[Motorola Droid RAZR] 6stringandy:
Oh, I know. But you never know what advice some people will follow in a panic. ;)

Don't worry, I won't be dunking my Maxx in the toilet anytime soon. lol

GS3 (SGH-i747M) is rooted and I tried a few ROMs, CM10 most recently.

I tried to go back to the stock ICS ROM so that I could then upgrade to JB.

However, after flashing back to the stock listed here, the phone started hanging during the boot.

I tried to go with the JB ROM from that same link, I tried all the ROMs there, I keep getting stuck at the same point in the boot. It's after the little flashy animation, with just the Samsung logo slightly animated. It just keeps animating and animating.

Any suggestions would be great.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tonymtl:

I have the same problem going from Task650's JB ROM back to stock JB so I can sell my GS3. All completed successfully according to Odin, but after the usual boot animiation, it gets stuck in the SAMSUNG logo. But I can't get into either recovery or download modes. I try the Vol Up or Down-Home-Power and it reboots through animation, but then stuck there.

I've tried taking out the battery. Nothing works.

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance.

So, after recently flashing the Dark Glass One ROM (which is very fast and snappy btw) i find myself unable to edit any system files even after mounting as writable and fixing permissions through 4ext. I noticed a mod post the same problem in the ROM's thread but no follow up as to what the problem is so i thought i would try to see if anyone might have any ideas as to a fix? I need to be able to rename the audio for the camera click to get rid of it, This didn't happen with other CM10 roms so i assume there's something specific about this one that's not right. Any suggestions?

I have a galaxy tab p1000.

Firmware-2.2 (stock version)

Baseband- p1000DDJM2

Kernal- 2.6.32.9 root@SE-S605 #

Build no-Froyo.DDJM8

Its network unlock as I bought it from market and I have used

Different sims..

Bt recently a new problem has started.. Only bsnl (india) sim works

On it.. Other sims dont get signal..

For eg. If i have inserted vodafone sim, It shows vodafone sim bt i

Dont get any network tower. Instead I get a crosscircle.

I checked my sim lock by dialing some code I gt here(*#7.....#)(dnt remember)

it shows all of them off..that means it not locked.

So I cant understand why my other sims have stoped working suddenly.

Plzzz help.

Get JPZ

I can't confirm that Gingerbread modem works in Froyo.

But I am pretty sure it can.

You need Odin v1.7

and need to put the modem.bin in the "PHONE" part of Odin and DON'T tick "re-partition"

I would recommend upgrading your tab to at least GB though when you are up to it.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] srinivas2:
Most of the problems caused is due to the frequent use of the lock unlock button, so I was thinking if we could if at all possible, not use the button!!

->The first thing is that if we could re-map the function of that button to some other button, like to the call button which is useless! We have the kind of remap in the Windows phone roms, something of that kind for the Android roms! Maybe!!

-> OR maybe create a script that runs so as to lock the screen as if the lock button was pressed! the code that actually runs when you press the lock button! a widget can be created to lock the screen and you can unlock it by just pressing any button!! This is just gonna require little programming!

This is just a thought that i came across, and my question to the Devs is that if at all any of this is possible, can we do it?? So as to save our almighty LEO!!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
There are tonnes of apps and widgets that can do this already, just use one of those. I'm sure there's even a way to put it in the notification bar so that you have easy access anywhere within the OS.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] srinivas2:
Thanks for the reply.. Why are we waiting to have it in each of our roms then!! We must have it inbuilt in the rom so that all the button based problems are solved!

p.s can you name a few apps/widgets that you said can do the job??
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
I strongly disagree with that, there's no reason to have it built in into the ROM. I for one would never use it, because it's just so much easier to press the power button. Sure, it dies eventually, but by then most would have moved on to a new device. Having had this phone for two years now, I haven't had any issues with the power/lock button.

As for the apps and widgets, search on Google Play and find them yourself.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nabbed:
1) The screen is gorgeous. Dna wins hands down here. You have to see it to believe it. Evo lte had a nice slcd2 screen, remember? This one blows it out of the water.

2) Speed - it's like going from Evo3d to ET - I haven't seen a launcher this smooth ever before. Everything clicks instantly, no lags anywhere at all. Unlike gs3 which tends to lag a little when loading new apps into ram or trying to cache new desktop pages.

3) Wireless charging is very cool.

4) Battery life is right on par with gs3 on the first charge. If you don't travel much, nonremovable battery shouldn't be a problem.

5) Storage - huge fail on htc's part for nothing giving it a removable sdcard.

6) Size - nearly the same, a little skinnier and a little taller. Feels very good in hand.

Overall, very nice phone. I was especially impressed by the screen and overall smoothness.

[Nokia Lumia 920] shumilica:
I think I didn't do any picture in low light with flash on which didn't make the red-eye effect on people.

I think it starts to really be an issue. I know there is software to remove the redeye effect, but it's definitely not the same as not having the red-eye to begin with. I didn't had this issue with the S2 that I still own.

What do you guys think? Do you find this red-eye an issue or not? Why didn't Nokia test this and just put the flash a little bit further away from the camera lens?
[Nokia Lumia 920] gilesjuk:
You have to put the flash a long way away from the lens to avoid red eye. But with LED flashes it's not such a problem as they can stay on long enough for the eye to settle down.
[Nokia Lumia 920] schettj:
can you post an example?
[Nokia Lumia 920] lesd777:
Not a major issue for me. The ones I do get red eye issues, like you mentioned creative studio red eye fix works ok

[Nokia Lumia 920] shumilica:
Ok, here are some examples:

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/wkz4k560m1zwm04/02gZfV5c27

Of course it's not a dealbraker, yes you can use creative studio, and it makes a good job removing them, but you end up with the corrected images in saved images, instead of camera roll, so it's not a very fluent user experience..

@gilesjuk so you're saying if they program the flash to stay on a little bit longer the red-eye effect won't be so noticeable? That would seem a quick fix for them to do, but for them to bother about this we have to say to them that this is really an issue for us...
[Nokia Lumia 920] schettj:
the only ways to avoid redeye is to move the flash so that light bouncing out of the back of the eye doesn't hit the sensor

red eye reduction is accomplished by making the subject's iris constrict to a pinpoint by either (1) pre-blindng them with a flash before taking the photo - this is typical for P&S red-eye reduction, or (2) if using an LED flash just have the flash come on a bit early to do the same thing. The iris reacts "slowly" by digital camera standards...

If you take multiple shots one right after the other with flash, only the first will likely have redeye - you could try just taking back to back shots ...

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Goldie:
Hey all,

So early today an eagle eyed user on our forum www.alliance-rom.com (Kkillize) posted asking if the following could cause battery drain. The power profile.xml in framework-res.apk had the following:

<item name="cpu.idle">4</item>
<array name="cpu.active">
<value>577</value>
<value>408</value>
<value>249</value>
<value>148</value>
<value>55</value>
</array>
<item name="battery.capacity">2100</item>

Now...last time I checked our device didnt have these values!! Seems samsung ported the S3 firmware and didnt change these entries.

I suspected these may be contributing if not responsible for the lockscreen freeze so me and Mirkoddd have tested changing these values today to what they should be...

<item name="cpu.idle">2</item>
<array name="cpu.active">
<value>577</value>
<value>408</value>
<value>249</value>
<value>148</value>
<value>55</value>
</array>
<item name="battery.capacity">1650</item>

...and so far have had 0 lockscreen freezes. :)

I have attached a link to a cwm framework-res.apk for deodexed LSJ for willing testers as this needs to be tested by lots of people. I have also attached the individual compiled xml for people on custom roms who want to drag this into their framework-res.apk.

MAKE A BACKUP AND DO NOT FLASH THE CWM ZIP ON A CUSTOM ROM!!!!

If you have already tried this and still get freezes, please shout up!!

Thanks :)
