[Galaxy S III General] ChinaskiG:
So, why don't you guys just update the bootloader just in case and use triangle away? I am running Omega v36 with stock kernel and custom recovery, and I have reset the flash count to 0. I've checked download mode, and it says official for everything and no flash count. I understand that it will come back to one if you're using a custom kernel or if you access the custom recovery. What I'm saying, is that you'd get the best of both worlds by just flashing the bootloader just in case, and not installing a custon kernel nor accessing custom recovery. It isn't too much of a loss, considering it is possible (even if remotely) for this bootloader to fix the issue, you could just flash all you need in custom recovery and leave it unaccessed for a while, until all of this mess is cleared out. And as for the kernel, stock one is just fine meanwhile.

And this way, if your phone gets bricked but you can still access the download mode, they wouldn't know you modified it, since they don't have access to your recovery or anything else. It's a win-win situation in my opinion.

[Galaxy S III General] rand0m_insanity:
My girlfriend's phone just died yesterday, after charging overnight. I contacted Samsung here in my country and they said that it they will take it in for repair/replacement. What scares me now is that I got my phone as well around the same time as hers and it might happen to me too. Samsung told me that it would take around 3 to 5 working days to get it fixed. That's a damn long time for me.Oh, filled out the form too.

Sorry if this has been posted before, but I am having a hard time finding anything about it (which I am confused by as well!)

I just upgraded from a samsung captivate (original :) ) and one of the features I liked about that phone was that in the dialer I could start typing in the first few numbers of someones number or the first few letters of someone's name and their number would auto fill in and I could just click it and call.

I know it is probably not nexus 4 specific, but 4.+ in general, but is there any way to get this feature back? Am I just missing something obvious, why in the world would they get rid of this?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaherdin:
T9 dialer?

My guess is that, that specific feature is called T9-dialer and I'm missing that too. I level'd up from ZTE Blade running CM10 to my brand spankin new N4 yesterday and yes, I want that feature back... Or... what the heck, Im going to root, unlock and flah CM 10.1 within the next 22h anyways :))))

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] estallings15:

This was posted on the nexus 4 themes and apps forum and is proven to be compatible with 4.2 without issues.

Maybe the dialer in your link works fine as well but since it was from an old post on the gnex forums, I thought I'd add this just in case there were any compatibility issues.

Hi,

I've tried to install CM7.2 with Android 2.3.7 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1566955) on my HTC Rhodium 100 (Italian version).

The initial installation starts with physical keyboard in US layout.

I've google like mad to find a way to change this with no success. Here's what I did:

1- unzipped the original CM7.2.0-RC1-rhodium-20120424 files

2- from /system/etc/keymaps I copied the following files:

-- rhod100_it_microp-keypad.kcm.bin in /system/usr/keychar

-- rhod100_it_microp-keypad.kl in /system/usr/keylayout

-- rhod100_it_navi_pad.kl in /system/usr/keylayout

For these files, I left them as they are and also substituted the original generic (same file name without "rhod100_it_")

3- I've hex edited qwerty.kcm.bin and qwerty2.kcm.bin to match Italian keyboard layout.

4- rezipped back to original ZIP file

5-followed install instructions as per http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1566955

Result: always US keyboard layout :(

What should I do?

Hi,

If I connect the S3 to USB3 port, should it charge faster than USB2 port?

I've tried that, and it looks like charging speed is the same. According to "Battery Monitor Widget" it's around 500ma. So I wonder if it's supported on the S3.

I'm using Sotmax rom, if it matters.

Thanks :)

So what should I set there in order to be safe?

I want my S3 to be able to charge from both USB2 and USB3. Meaning, if I connect it to USB2 to draw 500mA, and if I connect it to USB3 to draw more (900/1000 mA, I'm not sure).

Can it be done safely?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolhof:
Think you have to change the settings manual every time you switch usb port.

There is no option to select automatically.

I personally think you don't get a lot time winst with charging faster tro usb3.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0semaj0:
Please also keep in mind that high speed charging may also have the implication to induce faster deterioration of the battery. I would highly advise OP to keep to original specifications in order to ensure you keep your manufacturers warranty and possibly prolong the life cycle of the battery and eliminate the possibility of hardware malfunction.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Animor:
But it's high speed charging only compared to USB2.

If I connect the S3 to wall AC with the original Samsung adapter, it charges with 1A.

USB3 is 900mA, which is less than that. So it shouldn't effect the battery life.

My only concern now is what happens if I set USB charge limit to 900mA, but connect it to USB2 port.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vishwarrior:
Firstly, it's not the type of USB that matters, it's the power source itself (wall socket or USB). It's safe to draw more power from the wall socket, obviously. Both the USB3.0 and USB2.0 will be affected the same. The current transfer will be the same. By increasing the mA, there will be increased chances of damaging your USB port.

So, 900mA will affect both types of USB ports in the same way.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Animor:
ok, thank you.

I was under the assumption that if I configure the device to draw 900mA from USB ports, then it will try to take 900mA also from USB2 port - but since this port is only able to transfer 500mA, it will behave the same as before.

Am I wrong about that?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IRPnet:
IMHO and with my reasonable knowledge of PC's - the USB 1.x/2.x ports can only provide 500mA. This is the USB port spec.

USB 3.x can provide up to 900mA. These both apply if the USB port is

not

a charging port.

The information quoted below is taken from Wikipedia:

Hope this helps to clarify for you.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dummi888:
Yes, and as far as I know, standard charge rate is 475mA via USB and 1000mA via wallet.

These values can be changed with SiyahKernel but I would not recommend to do it.

When ever possible, I take the wallet charger and get double charging speed.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrcol:
After finally getting a usb3 card in my pc (onboard usb3 broken).

S3 only can use usb2 cable so doesnt even have usb3 support.

So the question is charging at higher rates in usb2 mode on a usb3 port.

Using stweaks I adjusted to 900ma

In galaxy charging current it reports max 500 now 899 avg 500, not conclusive.

same app on charger reports max 900 now 999 avg 900

usually it reports on usb without stweaks change 475 for all 3.

I had theory the galaxy charging current app had issues reporting avg and max right for 900ma so reduced AC charge to 900ma but that still reports 900 for avg and max. just the now dropped to 899.

for the usb3 the avg and max now state 600 but those 2 are still way off 900.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Max is the only one to take into consideration as per info on Google play.

I can get 900 out of a usb 2 port. Usually the ports aren't restricted to what they can put out. The onus is on the connecting device to only draw 475 or 900 for usb 2/3

This could be different with a usb card not connected directly to the motherboard though. What did you get?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrcol:
are you sure? my guess is that the now is the accurate one, with max been buggy.

I can get 900 out of my usb2 ports also but I only left it going for a few seconds as that has them out of spec.

It looks like max is buggy and always reports same as avg.

--edit--

yeah I read the description and he says what you said. It would seem there is a hard cap somewhere on my phone to 600ma charging via usb then and 900 via AC.

avg and max report 500 on my usb 2 ports and 600 on my usb3 ports.

now reports 899 on them all.

--edit again--

found the cause its my dock, the dock claims 1amp output yet its capping to 600ma. With the cable direct between phone and usb it shows 900 on both my usb2 and 3 ports.

you know if any s3 docks that are 900ma compatible?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Yes im sure. The developer of the app says this on Google play description.

Edit... i should read entire posts before replying ;)

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Oh sorry you're right

If you're rooted you can individually change mA for usb 2 or 3 but if your usb 3 is registering as usb 2,.theres nothing you can do really.

I upped my usb 2 to 875. Its s risk but im willing to take it. I can't recommend you do the same though. Its a risk only you can take.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrcol:
In my opinion its safe to up if you using a usb3 port even if its in usb2 mode (which it will be as the s3 isnt a usb3 device), usb2 it seems is ok but I say it with less confidence.

I agree but earlier in the thread he stated he still wants to use usb 2 too.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Animor:
But in STweaks you can't distinguish between USB2 ans USB3 anway, right?

[Galaxy S III Accessories] Fallon:
The USB spec states 500ma is the max you can push over the USB interface (I think USB 3 is higher though). Most electronics will tend to honor this 500ma limit. I'm not sure if it's just common practice or an actual standard, but shorting the 2 data pins together ignifies that you are connected to an AC charger that can supply a higher amperage. By default our phones & the original SGS phones will charge at 500ma max. However if you plug in a charger with the 2 data pins shorted (our OEM chargers are like this), or short them together yourself along with a capable charger, your phone will charge at 700 or 750ma (forget which offhand).

resistor value

Do you mean a resistor with 0.1ohms not 0.1A? What resistance did you use for this setup? Very interesting and helpful information! Although, I'm very curious why a different cable would give you different power numbers. Does the charger measure resistance on the cable and then lower the maximum charge current as a result? I can't really see any other way the charger could tell which cable you are using unless the charger adds some capacitance between wires or some other discrete component.
