[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taubin:
I've been having a few issues with my phone recently. I'm running a stock, non rooted rom.

Recently, my camera stopped working all together after trying the Poland rom. I reverted back to the stock rom, and let it do OTA updates to get it up to date. Once I did that, the camera started working just fine, until today. When I attempt to take photos, they come out with purple/pink streaks on them. They show both when I take the photo (they scroll across the screen), and in the photo itself. Has anyone run into this before?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taubin:
Anyone?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blue1k:
Did you update your camera firmware? There is a guide in general section that shows you how. I would try that.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taubin:
I haven't, but, the phone and camera firmwares are the same

And now, when I start the camera I'm getting "an unknown error occurred"

I guess I'll have to ship it back to Samsung and hope they fix it. It's on an official rom and says custom binary download: no with an official system status in download mode, so I should be okay right?

Thanks for the help

To whom it may concern,

I want to know how to change the CID in my Desire V device. Is S-OFF required to change the CID or how does it work?

Cheers.
[HTC Desire V] AKA_noodle:
yes S-OFF required

but i cant change cid

[Galaxy S III General] Nimer.abdul:
Hello everyone, I am sharing something that worked for me.

This is for rooted users only.

I had noticed that multi-tasking was not all too great on the S3 at times, if I had to switch back to a heavy game after replying to a message for example I would have to reload the whole game and not be able to just resume playing, similarily I would have to reload pages in Dolphin browser after returning to it if I had switched to something else.

Today I rooted my phone, was playing around with Vm Heapsizes but I ended up just restoring the default value until I tried out this application called

"Ram Manager Pro" on the Playstore.

There is a setting within the app called "Hard Multitasking" using this I am able to switch between all of my tasks flawlessly (So far!) I switched between games and heavy browser pages, and nothing has been closed by itself, I was able to resume gaming right away and there were no page refreshes with the browser!

Also Check the option "keep Launcher in memory" to help prevent touchwiz redraws!

Also I am sure this has been said before, but toning down the animations or switching them off in developer options makes the phone snappier, and so does unchecking the ripple effect for the lock screen,

Hope I have helped, I am infinitely more pleased with my phone now.:good:
[Galaxy S III General] MoonBlade:
more of an advertisement for RAM Manager than a tip. Nevertheless i will try it out !
[Galaxy S III General] prabhjots:
RAM manager.

RAM=Random Access Memory

ROM= Read Only Memory

Know the difference. :)
[Galaxy S III General] hisname:
why not just use supercharger??
[Galaxy S III General] MoonBlade:
Er.. i've been here long enuf to knw the difference. just a spelling mistake .. :|
[Galaxy S III General] Nimer.abdul:
Not advertising, noob here.

You can check out my post/thread history and you would know I'm a guy with a new S3 who has problems with HDMI out and had a lot of questions about rooting and ROMs lol, However I will try to find out what Vm heapsize the program uses so that we can manually set it ourselves without having to buy the program.

Any ideas on how to do so?

I am using CodefireX rom.

I wonder if the guide provided is capable to do sim unlock?

I dont feel like downgrade my DHD to android 2.2 to do that.

thanks.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glevitan:
If you downgrade to 2.2 you will regret it. If you are s-off Then you Sim unlocked. That doesn't mean that every Sim works with your device. Some carriers lock Sims...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yauchildchew:
I think the SimUnlock is to unlock the carrier specific lock??
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glevitan:
The available methods to S-OFF the device sim unlock the device, but not all sims work with sim unlocked devices. That is carrier locked...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giri26:
I have a rooted Inspire 4G (rooted with Ach Hack kit). I recently purchased a T-mobile sim (0.99 cents) and put it in my phone and it worked. So I am thinking that when you root the phone with Ace Hack kit, it automatically removes carrier sim lock too. I don't find any other explanation for T-mobile Sim working on my mobile as I never unlocked my phone.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bananagranola:
Yes AAHK SIM unlocks as part of the process.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yauchildchew:
i see.

i tried the sim unlock in the easy radio for dhd and even though the files were successfully pushed but i think my phone is still locked to carrier.

is ur unlocked phone still showing carrier brand when booting?

can u use the phone without sim card inserted?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raczyk:
Apart from checking if your phone is S-off, which my is. Is there another way to check to ensure phone is unlocked?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glevitan:
If you are S-OFF you are probably sim unlocked...however to make sure that you are, you can use this (paragraph 4)

[General Questions and Answers] djephoto:
Hi,

I'm new to the forum, and looking for some help. I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 that is sim-locked to the Three network in the UK.

I need to unlock this device urgently and root it using the 'cf-root' method.

Can anyone give me any help with how to do this. I tried following the easy unlock method, using the *#197328640# method, but I don't get the 'Options' menu once I choose 'Network Lock' from the menus.

The phone is currently running 4.1.1.

Thanks in advance.

Does CM10 gets the HTC One X to the level of a Nexus device?

I'm trying to decide which cellphone to buy an HTC One X or a Nexus 4...

In my country I can get the HTC One X cheaper (the at&t version with lte) ... but I would like to have a great android expierence on jellybean.

=)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] thedauntlessone:
Both devices have their trade offs.

Specifically about CM10, it's pretty good, but AOSP roms have pretty bad battery life on the HTC One XL.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] renatofontes:
Thanks for the reply... It is good to know about the battery life.... I'll probably get the nexus 4.

Thanks! =)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] cyanogendroid:
In general any non native code roms (in this case aosp) are going to have more problems/run less smooth/have worse battery. For instance on my sgs3 no matter what the battery on cm10 was always worse no matter the usage versus touch wiz.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] SirFork:
In regards to battery life I echo the above comments. With stock speeds I got worse battery life on cm10 than I do on a sense rom overclocked to 2ghz with both cores on.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] harryho2:
I love my One X (ATT Branded) but I bought mine when SG3 and Nexus 4 was not available. It fit the bill and I needed a new phone at the time as I was traveling and didn't want to take my iPad as my personal device. Take note, Nexus 4 4G may not work in all countries. Look at some threads. If that is not an issue, I would get Nexus 4. In some countries like the US, with a contract, you can get One X for dirt cheap.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] blee blee:
I personally disagree with aosp ROMs getting worse battery life. Me and my wife both have one x and she's running a sense ROM while I'm running aosp and we get around the same battery life. It all really depends on your usage.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Silellak:
I think the biggest difference is standby time - CM10 definitely drains faster in standby than Sense. I'm not sure if this is due to Sense's aggressive process management or something in AOSP. People who use their phones more actively are less likely to notice a battery life difference. If, on the other hand, your phone is asleep most of the day and you only wake it occasionally, it'll seem like a bigger hit.

That said, I find that the experience of AOSP is definitely worth the battery life trade-off.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ntorresla:
I agree with you, people that CAN change the rom its beacuse they USE more the phone...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Hydromea:
Battery life and mobile data download/upload speeds are noticeably lower than Sense. For example, with 1 bar of H+ on Sense, I get about 1.5 mbps. On CM10, I get around .5 mbps.

However, CM10 is much smoother, faster, and (usually) more stable. Wonderful ROM. Highly recommended for a non-Sense ROM.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] marsyeti:
Totally agree, with almost the same apps and stuff Sense can stand by 10 hours draining only less than 5 percent while CM10 drains almost 20 percent. But now the CM10 is quite solid, not that buggy and I really like the stock Android feeling and Google Now, so I'm running CM10 without complaint. PS. Sense Camera is waaaayyyyyyy better
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] BelzIgoh:

You won't have any problems flashing a JB rom just do a full wipe cache/del cache/factory reset/system... with that said it is recommended updating the firmware so you won't run into problems down the road.

[Nexus S General] the1dynasty:
Pretty simple... Post up ONLY photos taken in photosphere and ONLY if they were taken with either a Nexus S or Nexus S 4G... If possible, include links to them on G+ so we can see them in full 360... You can also post up any "tiny planet" photos if they came out good!!

I'll start first with one i took outside my apartment when i was first learning the 4.2 camera... No G+ link for this one because i don't know how to share the link from my phone... Someone else with a computer can look me up on there and post the link since its a public image!! Enough chatter on with the pics...

Adding the link to download and install on any ROM 4.1 and higher... Not tested on 4.0 so if you want to test and report back here, feel free :)

I read somewhere that taking them with your phone in portrait helps with those black circles... I haven't tested yet!

I try to hold the phone in the exact same spot and just move like i am the tripod lol... Takes a few tries to get good at it... Start by doing just a few pics left/right and up/down... You don't have to practice with a full 360 photo...

Here's one i took yesterday at church... Its not a full 360... But maybe about 120 degrees of that space... There was obviously movement because of people an lights... But i think it came out good!

I am using hellybean at the moment, so yes, its kind of cm10.1, but with the patched camera.

Then again it is a bit laggy and it takes 2 secs to actually apply the effect . but its usable.
[Nexus S General] the1dynasty:
I'm using Rasbean Jelly right now and if I'm not mistaken, i didn't flash this zip here, but i have flashed it on earlier builds of this ROM even when i was on 4.1 ROMs it works fine...

It replaces gmscore.apk and GalleryGoogle.apk as well as adding the proper lib .so files... You might have to manually push these files to your phone and fix permissions... Some gallery files say "gallery2google.apk" or "gallery.apk" so if you flash this and end up with two gallery's and/or one or both FC'ing, then delete the old one, wipe data and reboot!!

[Nexus S General] the1dynasty:
Wipe data for gallery... Reboot... You can also fix permissions while you're at it just to be safe!
[Nexus S General] fedpisano:
I followed your advice.

I deleted the application data gallery. I restarted the phone and then fix permission.

Tiny planet works but when I run the processing of the photo, the gallery is FC.

I used the flashable zip that you linked to install photosphere. :(
[Nexus S General] the1dynasty:
Try to manually extract the files in the zip and push them to system/app fix permissions then reboot... Make sure there aren't any other gallery apk on your phone...

In not sure what else to say because it works fine for me each time when i install this zip... And I've used it on at least 5 different ROMs including 4.1.2, 4.2, and 4.2.1 and they all work fine...
[Nexus S General] fedpisano:
I also tried these installations but the gallery is in FC when processing the tiny planet.

I was trying on the stock rom 4.2.1 rooted. I tried to install the official CyanogenMod 10.1 does not work.

In the TSM-ROM JellyB 12.5 works because the photosphere is included.

I think I give up or install the ROM JellyB-TSM 12.05

EDIT: Even with the ROM JellyB-TSM 12.05 after some time the gallery is in FC using tiny planet.

I've tried all the ROMs available on XDA and all the tiny planet does not work.

I also tried as advised an Italian forum that to make the tiny planet need to set the phone language to English (united states).

But even that does not go .:(
[Nexus S General] _hito_:
Whenever i apply tiny planet in gallery always had force close.

so here is alternative..

just flash camera patch from here --> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1964804

and then just take photosphere normally.

for applying tiny planet

download an app from playstore globephoto -->https://play.google.com/store/apps/...51bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5rZXh4dS5nbG9iZXBob3RvIl0.

pick your photo from gallery and let this app to render it, might take half of minute..:eek:

After I found out that the trick is to "rotate" the phone more than move it, my Photospheres have become much more "successful" - less stitching errors, less blurring, etc. The only thing I'm not sure how to fix is the fact that I know on the newest version of the camera app, there are little arrows to show you where the next blue dot is, and on the version listed on these forums that doesn't seem to exist?
