Note 2, Nexus 4 or wait.

The S3 is great, but it's not a young phone. Not sure when the S4 is coming out, but there should be some great phones coming, which mean either lower prices for the S3 or better options.

On the other hand, JB is running on positively ancient phone, and I suppose phones bought today will be able to do what you want for years to come.

Hi

i rooted my galaxy w, installed recovery and flashed different roms using this guide (the sticky thread in general sub-forum). the device booted normally but i had some major problems with all roms a flashed on it:

- wifi could find networks but didn't connect.

- usb mass storage was not detected by the pc.

- phone app couldn't find vcf files to import my contacts

i also tried flashing different kernels (jb kernels for jb roms and ics for ics) but it didn't change the results. can someone help me please?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] 7amada100:
Try pristine flashing it is the best!

And just a quick tip don't try restoring any apps data from different android versions except messages and pictures of cute kittens and stuff(porn) ;)

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] KiD3991:
I can quite conclude you did not do most of the things the ROM developers asked you to.

Unless you Factory Reset + Wipe Cache + Wipe Dalvik + Fix permission. Some things might not work. Or you just cant find all of these because you did not use CWM5/6?

Go Pristine like the upper post said. If you want a good ROM. Do sacrifice a wee bit more effort to make it awesome. I took hard ways to realize this though. Export your contact.vcf to external SD card and restore from there manually through File Manager.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] 7amada100:
I totally agree with you but just an add/edit

He *can't* install a new rom without a custom recovery. This is something I tried to skip in my first flash but it didn't work lol

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] spyblaster91:
i did it. same results :(

i tried remiICS-JB. do i also need a JB kernel? i flashed on GB.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] KiD3991:
Here's a possibility. Could it be that your wireless router reached maximum users? Because certain home based wireless routers can only keep certain amount of wireless device's(IP address) is stored in router. If you flash a new ROM a new IP will be made but your router kept your old one and reached its max at the same time. This quite happened to me once in a mall. Have you tried other wifi's?

One thing about custom ROM is that you might need SamsungKies installed in your computer for your computer to detect USB. Do you have that?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] spyblaster91:
no im pretty sure my router does not have max users. the problem is that the phone's wifi doesn't turn on properly on ics roms, and keeps turning on and off on jb roms.

i don't have Kies, actually it's my sister's phone. but as i know the main reason of using usb mass storage function is that you can mount the storage on any device/os without any app or driver. my pc used to identify it when it had stock gb 2.3.6.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] KiD3991:
If it does not even on, then its another problem. You sure its i8150 not the other SGH something?

You need Kies to identify stock ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] spyblaster91:
yes im sure that's i8150.

Kies drivers are required for usb debugging not mass storage.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] KiD3991:
In which I rest my case on the wifi issue. Maybe related to this in the Q&A section http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2074954

As for Kies, its fundamental to identify your device. GB is capable of connecting it as Mass Storage because Mass Storage mount need no device identification in GB. In ICS its another story.

I can't be too sure about my answer but this is what I found out from various Samsung phones when I was working.

[Verizon Droid Charge] thechaoz:
Charging port is loose and I have to push the charger in hard pull up and to the left and wrap the cord around it or hold it to get it to charge. I know there are many threads/youtube vids about this but nothing specific to the Charge.

This used to happen to my old droid x/x2 but a new charger would always fix it. I've tried about 8 different chargers and bought a new micro usb cord today with no avail. I ordered an actual nicer Samsung charger off of ebay (still waiting) but thinking at this point it won't help. It started by being loose, then having to lift it a little and has progressed over a few weeks to this point.

I'm wondering if I'm missing something and samsung chargers are slightly different in the port, if I can solder it myself, how difficult to do? I'd really like to avoid operating on it? What's going on at the pin level.

Thanks in advanced I'm pretty desperate at this point.

Now once i open SuperSU it asks to update the binary needs to update, after i accept it the update fails. And i cant even get rid of SuperSU, because i tried the unroot method with Bin4ry's console, and the app is still on my device. After installing SuperUser, it tells me that the SU binary is an older version, and after i try updating it says it's checking root access, then it fails.

[Android Apps and Games] Game4set:
Hey everyone!

About a week ago I posted on reddit about my sleepyti.me inspired app (link) and I received a ton of user feedback and feature requests.

Now all of those have been added and my app is now available on the Play Store. There's both a free and paid version and the only difference between the two is that the free version has ads while the paid has none.

Here are the links: free version and paid version

Features included in 90night:

The ability to set how long it takes you to fall asleep and 90night will use that time in it's calculations

Support for both 12/24 hour format (with the ability to change them)

A night mode for using a dark theme for the app

Buttons to set alarms for each time (with optional confirmation box which can be enabled in the settings)

I am planning on fixing up the design for the buttons and it should look quite beautiful. If you guys want I'll post a screenshot of the proposed UI update (will start it in the next day or so). I am also planning on incorporating widgets in some way.

Thank you all and I can't wait to hear your feedback! Let me know if you have any questions, feature requests, bugs/issues, or anything else.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryanswj:
Hello guys!

I own a Samsung Galaxy S III LTE (GT-I9305, Exynos 4412, 2GB RAM, 16GB) but I have ordered a Nexus 4 16GB which is shipping now.

I am currently facing a dilemma - should I continue using my Galaxy S III, or switch the Nexus 4? Or should I just sell the Nexus 4?

To date, I must say that I am very satisfied with my S III, but the fact that I will get timely updates on the Nexus 4 tempts me to switch.

However, there is no local warranty in my country for the Nexus 4, which makes me really worried. I also do not have an LTE data plan (despite having an LTE phone), so LTE isn't important to me. Signing up for LTE means paying the same price for a significantly reduced data allowance (2GB from 12GB), so I am not likely to jump on the LTE bandwagon anytime soon.

What are your views? Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tovagulet:
S3!

Although nexus 4 is good too and get updates oftenly, it seems to have lot of errors because LG is trying to make as fast as they can so they can have more in stock. Also you would need to buy a case since the back is made of gorilla glass, it falls and the back will crack.

S3 has a better performance, and not sure when, it should recive 4.2.1 too :)

I recently installed WidgetLocker and installed it in my system/app folder as I read it would work best if installed there. But have come to just not like using it and just gone back to the default kindle lock screen and changed the background wallpapers. I can't seem to find a place on the device or apps I use to uninstall it.

And deleting the .apk from the system folder works, but am unsure if everything is removed.

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ergon:
Is there a one click root for the Razr Maxx HD? What is the easiest if not? I'm already on JB. We've got a way around the boot-loader, the last I read. It looks like things are picking up on the Razr Maxx HD so that's a good sign. At times I do miss my S3.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsdubai:
I do not believe there currently is a one click root for JB. You will have to:

1. Backup my phone phone

2. Download matts utility

3. Restore back to ICS using the utility

4. Root using utility

5. Push OTA root keeper app using utility

6. Protect root and unroot

7. Install over the air update (OTA)

8. Enable root and update binaries in app

9. Protect root again and unroot

10. Install JB and re enable root

Rooting is definitely worth the benefits and restoring back to stock firmware is very easy if you need to return it under warranty. I have never had a case where they rejected my warrant because I was rooted. They all go to a factory and are just sbf'd back to stock anyway and repaired hardware wise. I wouldn't worry about it buddy. And another note, all the employees of my Verizon store have their phones rooted and even encouraged me to root mine for obvious reasons. Good luck buddy.

Hey guys,

Just bought a Nexus 7 (32 GB wifi) for $250 ($230+$20 tax), but I still have the option of returning it. I read up somewhere that the Nexus 7 2nd gen is coming in march, and may be cheaper?? Do you guys think it is worth the wait? If it will be cheaper and have some noticeable improvements, I don't mind waiting for a couple months. Hope it will be cheaper too.

What do you guys know about Google's second iteration? Are you going to wait or did you snag one for Christmas?

I only want to get the second generation because I am buying a Nexus already late in the game (and close to the 2nd gen coming out, apparently).
