What is the normal update cycle for Google? I know that 4.2 is very recent, but should we expect an update in 6 months, a year?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
Google now releases Android updates once every 6 month's approximately, there is a very strong chance the next version of Android assumed to be Android 5.0 and named Key Lime Pie will be revealed at Google I/O 2013 which runs from May 15th through to May 17th 2013.

Hello everyone. I have recently gotten interested on writing my own rom. I am what you would call a noob, but I am very eager to learn. Does anyone know any useful guides or have advice on what I should know or learn before I get into the actual making of the rom. I am looking to make the rom for the AT&T galaxy s3 and if possible base it off cm10 because I love it so much. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi, I have a cdma based android phone. The model is zte v6700. Purchased yesterday for my dad who had cdma sim. He finds difficult to swipe and answer call. In my note 2 I've installed big screen ID, which allow me to tap to answer or decline. I tried installing this app and still doesn't work. Is there any way to get tap to answer instead of swiping up to accept.

Hi, im a photo geek.

I like using my 4s as my point and shoot.

Uncle came from Europe with the S3. was impressed with the phone and day time photos. Noticed his led flash was to blue when shooting pics with flash. The 4s does better. Thought it was just his phone.

Got my hands on a US copy and its the same thing.

Anyone got any advice except to turn it off.

This phone shoots misleading shots.

Image is sharp when snapped. ( it looks good )

Then when viewing its all blurry shots.

Any camera mods that may help?

im rooted too.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] thatsupnow:
Your in a league of your own bud. My LED isn't blue at all and my photos look fine when looking at them. But I would like to see some camera mods also the international version has lots of camera mods that really up the quality
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Grnfinger:
I dont find the flash blue but I do agree the pictures are not the best indoors.

My OneX took amazing pictures once the saturation was adjusted. Or maybe it is just me and I take lousy shots.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Dangerdick:
Hey guys, tried to do my reading and research before making a thread - so I hope this isn't answered somewhere obvious but if so I apologize beforehand.

I have a Galaxy S3 i747 on Telus Mobility in Alberta, Canada. I was an affluent iPhone junkie, but this was my first foray into Android. Love it. I successfully rooted the stock firmware, got clockwork installed and then decided I wanted to move into a custom rom.

I got the 11/27 Nightly installed no problems and had no issues. Upon updating to the 12/27, everything went smoothly except I couldn't get 4G connectivity at home. I usually can have 4G at home, no questions asked. Upon updating, back to 3G only.

Checked APN Settings

Ensured Preferred network

Enabled Mobile Data

I went to a city about an hour away and intermittently, the phone grabbed 4G. It would switch over, let me connect at full speed then switch back to 3G. Upon returning home, back to 3G. Again, normally I NEVER see 3G, always atleast 4, then LTE when I go to Edmonton.

Anyone have any ideas?? Love CMOD and don't really wanna flash back to stock.

Thanks guys, this place is a wealth of information and a joy to read.

Do installation of beats audio on rooted phone makes it really work? Mean does it improves the sound quality like the original beats audio phones?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Athhar:
yes.but u need a beatz headset.it also works with other headsets.but not that effective.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ankur850:
Yea

The result is different with different device. This app really have system files of beats , i open and extract this archive and found folder asset where system files like bin , etc , lib.. and then i copy to my mobile ,sound fells good. It have just only little bit clarity and sound was abit louder with my Samsung Stock Headset

It will be great to buy the Beats Headset :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikufellow:
Well I've tried it on many of my Droids and it does seem to bring about a change especially in bass and treble terms . The difference is not too noticeable with oem headsets or so it feels to me but on others , a few premium ones I've tried it is noticeable indeed ;)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blixz:
It doesn't make such a big difference unless used with high end headphones where it does slightly improve the base but most of the time you won't notice the difference.

Des anyone know where I can find someone selling the white back form a Nexus 7 from Google IO? I think it looks much better than the brown one, and yes, I know they are not easy to find.
[Nexus 7 General] Dark Jedi:
There's a brown back? Anyways probably may never find anyone selling only the back cover unless they cracked their screen. Best way is to just buy the white version.
[Nexus 7 General] ryanmfraser:
Your Nexus back cover is brown not black. Put it next to something true black. The box also lists it as brown.

Haven't seen any white ones pop up on ebay recently. A few did shortly after I/O but they disappeared quickly.

Hi experts, I need your urgent help, I've been dragging this today with no solution.

First my s3 showed a "cannot read sdcard" when I tried to flash the Temasek v.22 update. The phone was trapped in a loop and I at least I could enter recovery.

I though it was a recovery problem and I flashed a new recovery (6.0.1.9.) via ODIN. The result was the phone stucked in the "Samsung Galaxy s III" logo and I cannot even access to the CWM.

The last thing I've tried was flashing a Stock ROM via Odin but it did fail. The only menu I can enter now is the Download Mode.

Does anybody know if I'm bricked or what I should do to solve it?

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eytan123:
i suggest installing stock rom via odin, flash recovery and than install rom.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kamal Rhaiyan:
Im afraid your hp might be bricked.

Ok lets do some checks.

Go to download mode and see whether the brand name '' i9300'' is there.. If yes, there is hope...
[Galaxy S III General] chris151722:
Ok i have seen a lot having brick touchscreen so i made this simple guide to help them claim warranty

this guide can apply to any samsung device having warranty and can use usb otg, like note/2, gs3 any variants, etc.

i myself bricked my touch 2 times and claim warranty 2 times

this what i did to my bricked touch gs3 e210k

1. flash stock official rom for your phone via pc odin

2. use usb otg with any usb mouse to navigate screen and get pass through welcome screen

3. install triangle away to reset counter

4. unroot (check my simple method)

5. if custom shows in status at recovery reflash your stock official rom

6. your good to go to warranty thing

my simple unrooting method

1. after resetting counter install rootuninstaller.apk

2. open apk uninstall supersu.apk

3. goto setting > application manager then uninstall rootuninstaller

hope that help

WARNING!! do not flash any recovery/cf-auto root/rom/firmware/update zip file or apk(that using flashing method) not intended for your device it will brick your touchscreen/phone!!!!

[Galaxy S III General] chris151722:
:good: no problem here:)
[Galaxy S III General] darenb4:
Can i just say this.. if your phone has sudden death it will be replaced under warrenty custom rom or not.. if it is truly bricked there is no way to test firmware without jtag flashing the motherboard which would reset the entire board and cost more than a replacment board.

And thank you for this guide i was worried about loosing touch after modification

[Galaxy S III General] TheCraig:
If anyone has subscribed to Erica's personal youtube channel you would know she flashed the CF-root for Note II and that ****ed up her screen so she replaced it herself (She is in the United States, no warranty anyway) but... don't flash the wrong kernel :P
[Galaxy S III General] chris151722:
if she buy it new i think she has still warranty on it even she is located in the US, she only void her warranty by repairing the phone by herself.

and i think she also created a thread here in xda and i posted to her thread.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Miami_Son:
Went through this with my Captivate. Had it replaced 3 times before I got one that didn't do it. Upgraded to the S2 in 12/11 and didn't have any SOD issues at all. Had to have it replaced in 10/12 because of charging port issues, but replacement has worked fine with rooted stock 4.0.3. That is, until this week. Had a SoD 4 days ago. Thought it was just an anomaly until I had another one today. Nothing new installed, normal usage. Man, what a PITA these are. Is it just Samsung phones that suffer SoDs?:crying:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:
Did you do the update to 4.0.4?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Miami_Son:
Nope. Nothing new installed in weeks beyond normal app updates. When I restarted the phone the batt was down to 40%, so something was seriously draining it before it went dead because it had been at 92% an hour before.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 122ninjas:
Double check your Android Version
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Miami_Son:
Still on 4.0.3. Just went to check it after unplugging it an hour and a half ago. Dead again.:mad: rebooted and it was down to 74% batt and looking at the stats Android System was using 40% before it cut off. I noticed the same thing last time. What in the Android System could be causing so much activity that the phone drains the battery so quickly and just suddenly shuts off?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] knightsh:
Maybe you're just rough on phones. My S2 is a very early model. Brother had it first and rooted/flashed all the time. I've had it for months doing the same thing. I've never had sod or force closed or anything. Currently on Dirty Root box and I don't even recall ever having to pull the battery before. Mines even been naked for over a month now without a single scratch, looks as new as day one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Miami_Son:
Rough on phones? How do you mean? I never carry it in my pocket. The last 3 have always had a TPU cover and carried in a leather case. Always have screen protectors, never gotten wet or dropped. Nope, I'm very careful with my phones. This particular one I was satisfied to simply root it and leave it alone. Previous phones have all manner of custom ROMs installed with all kinds of framework and other tweaks. I did notice that I had JuiceDefender installed, which had run fine on my first S2. I'm guessing it might not be as compatible with ICS as it was with GB. Have removed it and hopefully the problem, as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mastergflash:
SOD's here too

My wife has the S2 and has been having SOD's since the ICS update. Thinking the update to 4.04 would fix it, I updated it for her, but no dice. Replaced the battery too. I know this issue has been present for many sgs2's for a while now. Unfortunately, I was never able to find a solution. Since it is not my phone, flashing another ROM is not a solution. However, if anyone knows a solution for this(even if root is required), I am all ears.

Btw, to the OP, never had juiced defender installed on her device so not sure if that would really be the cause of your issue.

My honest opinion is that either it is an issue with the stock kernel/OS or an issue relative to the battery components (charge circuits/motherboard) with some devices.

Since I tend to err more on issues usually being in the software, my thought is that if and when JB is released for the ATT S2, this might alleviate this along with other issues, more importantly for those that are stock only oriented.

Following the 4.0.3 update (summer 2012 or so), I had SoD episode once or twice a month. I lived with it. I updated to 4.0.4 via OTA AT&T and had SoD everyday (sometimes 2-3x a day). I just rooted and installed AOKP and have been SoD-free since. I wont go back to stock AT&T.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Miami_Son:
I know.:silly:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mvi57:
I saw a post on the AndroidCentral forums that said that disabling the AT&T Smart WiFi app fixed the SoD problem. The poster thought it came along with the 4.0.4 update. He also disabled most of the other AT&T crapware, so you might want to try disabling some of the other AT&T apps if disabling Smart WiFi doesn't fix the SoDs.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] BigE85:
Yep, this right here. After I updated to 4.0.4 I was having 2-3 SoD's a day. Disabled Smart WiFi and all the other AT&T crapware and haven't had one SoD since.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Miami_Son:
I have the clean version of the 4.0.3 ROM that has none of the AT&T crapware, so that wasn't the issue. Since uninstalling JuiceDefender I have had zero issues.

[HTC One X+] ryanjsoo:
Has anyone noticed significant battery drain whilst the screen is off, my phone loses around 1-3 % every hour even when there are no programs running. I have monitored the running apps and uninstalled many that were running in the background. Does this mean that the 5th core is not activating or am I doing something wrong, google now, wifi, bluetooth, 3g, etc are all turned off, If anyone experiences similar issues or knows a solution please post, other than that the battery life on this device is actually pretty good despite all the people stating how horrible and unsatisfactory it may be.
[HTC One X+] Andrew149:
I believe someone mentioned that the WiFi is the cause of the drain while the phone is on, is your WiFi on while it's sleeping?
[HTC One X+] Sharpshooterrr:
Google Now may cause battery drain while on standby, I think. You might want to install Better Battery Stats so you'll know what's eating up your battery while the phone is in sleep mode.
[HTC One X+] ryanjsoo:
My WiFi, Bluetooth and 3g are all turned off and Google now has been disabled, don't know what is causing the drain but the people over at the original one X forum are sating that standby drain is higher as of the jb update which I find odd seeing that the battery life is better screen on.
[HTC One X+] MMoodyB:
Turn off auto sync & just enable it when you need to, or use an app that will enable it for you after a certain time period.
[HTC One X+] somemadcaaant:
Nah I can go a day and half on stand by with little use. I have 30+ apps installed and mods to firmware plus nik3r's custom elite kernel.

I'd say its one of your obscure apps you still have I stalled. Do a factory reset on your phone and install each app one at a time each hr monitoring the drain till you find the culprit.

Install nik3r's kernel.
[HTC One X+] nik3r:
1) go to Facebook app, disable chat, disable location... disable auto updates/notifications too if you can. This crap (especially the latest version) can take 20% of your battery life easily.

2) go to Google Maps settings, disable all the tracking/reporting options out there (up to 15% battery life without ever even starting the map app)

3) install EliteKernel and use power saving if you need that extra standby juice (it actually saves power in my flavor compared to the stock version)

There - fixed.

Wifi is not the issue, I get better life on 100% wifi than on data connection. It's the apps that actually use tha data.
[HTC One X+] ryanjsoo:
Thanks guys much better now!

Only difference is hers is a 2012 model, but its unlocked, S off, and perm rooted.

It wont load the same rom as mine, stops on HTC screen and wont boot further despite how long left.

It wont run WC2.0, or any other rom I seem to try, but will restore (CWM) easily to hensemod 7 and has no issues with that rom.

Ive spent hours on it reflashing stuff...
