[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hr Kristian:
4.1.2 should be more stable than 4.2.1 as its been developed longer and even has gotten the official stable version released.

4.2 does bring some new features like all new releases but not as major as for example 4.1 brought, for this reason Google decided to keep the Jellybean name for the newer version.

Regarding battery life your best bet is a Gingerbread ROM, but frankly I'm satisfied with my CM10 in that regard.

I'm using a Pisen 1700mAh battery, and its very good for its price,I bought it from Deal Extreme, but be careful to research a battery before buying any, most of them are horrible and can even break your phone in some cases.

It's been said an official 1800mAh battery meant for the Epic 4g (Carrier-locked Samsung Galaxy S2) fits our phone even though it's thicker; I just bought one myself, but it's being shipped from the US and I'm in Norway so it'll be a week before I could confirm that myself...

The Wi-Fi issue with 4.2 is known and pawitp had released a fix for it, I don't know if the current nightlies from the CM team have incorporated it

Thx for the reply. I just installed Slim Bean 4.2.1. Beta 2 six hours ago and so far I've liked it very much. WLAN working too. I think I'll change to 4.1.2. if I still encounter problems. I'll take a look at the DX battery. Please tell us how it went with the Epic 4g battery when u get to test it :)

Hi i need ur help. I just bought a GAlaxy Beam gi-i8530 and it is unlocked to any carrier. I read that it can be upgraded to ICS. My current android version is 2.3.6 Gingerbread and i wanted to know how can I upgrade my galaxy beam.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -star-:
You could update you Rom on the official way.

Install Samsung kies on your pc and connect your device with the pc. Kies should guide you through the update.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Metalcorpe:
You can also

You can aslo go the unofficial way and try custom roms!!!!:laugh::laugh::laugh::D:D:D

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juank2507:
i tried doing it but it says that no update have been found and I researched that the galaxy beam can be upgraded to ICS
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -star-:
If kies says that there is no update available it means that the ics update is probably not released in your country.

You could wait till its official available or take the unofficial way and flash a custom rom.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4925735:
use unofficial ways like installing cyanogenmod.. the kies update comes with touchwiz wich sux for me.. dont know about you...

I havent seen a topic on this but i knw for sure every gs3 user has experienced the lil stutter lag on touchwiz and nova..i havent been able to find a fix...its the only thing i noticed wrong with the phone..someone please help..and yes i do clean my cache data and all that and not much widgets on screen :/
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] laserlight959:
Are you running a custom ROM or is it stock?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] djkomodo:
Custom
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] laserlight959:
I'm not exactly sure which rom you will be running, but if it's a little jittery, try rebooting your phone first. If it still persists, go to Settings, then under Developer's Options, change Window Animation Scale and Transition Animation Scale to 0.5x. That should help a bit. If you still have problems, it may just be how the rom/launcher is :cowboy:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] djkomodo:
It sucks cuz its fast with jitter..thought this launcher posed go be with no bugs lol

Alrrady did..my s2 did the same thing when upgraded to ics..the thing is i had an htc one x with same launcher and it didnt lag...weird lol
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Bwyan Benton:
Hmm TW launcher is flawless for me. Never get a single lag. Thats why i use it as my launcher.

Everything else usually has a slow down...especially Nova. Dont know why its so popular, it isnt great.

If i were to actually use another home launcher it would be apex....thats been the next best thing to TW. But i have no need for that either.

I did wipe a ton of bloatware and lots of unnecessary apps, maybe that makes a difference.

Hello.

I'm having a small problem with my GT-l9300 running ParanoidAndroid v2.54.

My Asus Xonar U3 DAC do not work with my galaxy S3 anymore. It was working all fine with stock unrooted ROM (4.1.1) but I can't get it to work with PA. The sound just go through the speaker...

How can I get it to work? I switched to PA because it's much faster than stock and I don't really want to go back.

Hello everyone..

I broke my phone (i9000) screen flex.. and ordered a brand new screen.. i wait about 2 month to have got the new screen..

as soon as it arrived i replace the old one.. screen working without any problem.. but i couldn't manage to open the phone..

power button appears to not working.. if i connect to the charger i can see the battery icon, but i cant wake up the phone..

please help me..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rodman01:
I would suggest that you open the phone again...take the battery out and pull the rear- or middle cover away again (unscrew that 6 or 8 screws). Then insert battery again and try to start the phone by pushing direct onto the inside "powerbutton". I got this managed with my fingernails but perhaps a small tool will help for example a pencil or something like that.

If its starting then, you just have to adjust the inner powerbutton better to that small frame, so that the external powerbutton does it meet better by pressing it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hxxl:
Fisrt of all, thank you for the reply..

The phone is separated to the parts.. i try your suggestion.. nothing happened..

i try to link the two base pin of the power switch with a cable.. still nothing happend..

something strange is happening but i can't understand..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hxxl:
update..

I start up the phone.. :D

But the power key isn't working.. I can't take to the sleep mod with power key..

How can i boot it up.. I made a jig with 300k ohm.. then pluged in to the phone.. than it opened to the download mode..

I try to flash a new rom, but computer said "device don't connected".. I give up than unplug the jig.. Suddenly phone powered up..

So i don't know how i powered it up.. but it is working.. :)

I still have an issue.. Please help me about non working power key..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rodman01:
I don't think your power key problem is software or rom related....there should be something mechanical or electrical wrong.

I made the same experience when i unplugged the usb jig...phone starts automatically (sometimes), think this unplugging causes a sort of electrical bridge between the contacts and so the phone starts.

To get in recovery mode there is an app in play store, called: reboot to recovery (root). With that you will get in CWM...i do not know anymore whether it also has an option: reboot to download mode, but therefore you will have your jig, if necessary.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hxxl:
I'm already using a cm rom.. So i can boot to recovery easily.. Updated to the lastest nightly..

I agree with you about the problem source.. But i don't know how to fix this..

I can open the phone with this jig methot.. but this is not working every attempt.. I need to fix problem..
[Galaxy 3 General] ghpk:
I've been using Galaxy 3 (I5801) for 2+ years now,

Always wanted to upgarde the phone and get something cool, but due to personal problems never had 20K spare to buy a decent phone so was almost forced to keep using it month after month.

Thanks to kyrillos for giving us Rom updates so we kept living with this device till date.

Recently my phone started being very very sluggish, Games were out of question, it used to make me bang my head even with basic apps like Maps and browser used to make it beg for a reboot.

I usually restarted phone but this was getting on my nerves and reboot sometimes needed another reboot as not all apps show up, whatever.

I have around 100 apps Installed, not used everyday but love having them for some occasional use.

Today I was in urgent need to use a bank app. and phone gave me more frustration so I started playing around to see what can help me make it usable for another couple of months.

Earlier I've been using "Android System Info" to view the available ram and processes and kill the ones not required to run, Don't know why apps like youtube, cyanogen stats, titanium backup tries to run when their was no Active or scheduled usage, this kept sucking RAM off this poor phone which started showing lags of death.

Anyway to cut this post short, I found a App called " All-In-One Toolbox (14 Tools) - System Optimizer" which offers 17 tools in one decent price i.e. Free.

installed it and tried quick boost, phone was on 14% available RAM and it jumped to 51% and phone was smooth like new, then came the other included tools in "AIO Toolbox"

Used "Cache Cleaner" and it gave some extra MB's to phone memory.

Then used History cleaner to get more junk deleted

Then ran SDCard Cleaner and cleaned old "LOGS" and some more junk.

Then used "Boot Speedup" and unchecked the junk which ran along every reboot as they were not required.

Unchecked in user : Skype, Task Reminder, Titanium Backup, youtube, officesuite, etc etc so they don't load at boot.

unchecked in system: email (I am sure not required when you use "gmail" app already), SIM Toolkit.

Once went through all things to double check, did the reboot, and guess what, Didn't had a single "LAG " since last 12 hours,

used it like I used my phone during weekdays and didn't needed to curse or abuse it, not even a reboot.

Ah my head feels relaxed as i didn't banged this phone on my head since morning. :p

Please don't take this as I am promoting any app, Fact is I am not working for anyone, not even in real life. :crying:

This is just my personal experience with this phone and wonders this excellent toolbox did to it.
[Galaxy 3 General] dilzo:
Thanks for sharing this also don't worry there's always going to be tough times in life. It will get better soon; all the best.
[Galaxy 3 General] ghpk:
Thanks dilzo.

Update: Started using ZDbox (All-In-One toolbox). to speed up and its working more better as settings had an option to Auto-boost once Ram is below 50MB.

this one includes a easier cache cleaner and many new features like DND mode and Also the battery stats including info during charge is more precise and detailed.
[Galaxy 3 General] zimbara:
I use an app called "App Quarantine" and freeze apps that use ram in the background. Example, Google Maps. I use maps once a week, but it uses ram all the time. So I just unfreeze it when I need it.

Tip

As youre already on kyrillos rom just flash fugumod ultra 1366mhz pre. And after boot you will get a Lagfree device.!:)
[Galaxy 3 General] ghpk:
Kyrillos yet to update his Rom, I don't want to run this phone on 1366Mhz for sure.

I am using marcellusbe's ROM CyanogenMod 7.2 (Alpha9 )

and phone is snappier and happier.
[Galaxy 3 General] Stanislaus:
I know this has nothing to do with the topic but i wanted share. :) I just found out about an app called sidebar lite (i saw it in qbking77' s video :p). Its a mutitasking app like the one in the note 2 :).
[Galaxy 3 General] jeffk21:
Hello

For sure...

I use Kyrillos Rom with this 1366Mhz fugumod kernel, and it's working very fine ! No lag, no bug...

Now I only use my I5800 when I do running with the Runtastic app to track my course with G, just wifi.PS (to keep my new Acer V370 free from sweating), along with FM radio or music player and to have a phone with me in case of emergency (as, even with no sim card inside, it's possible to call emergency numbers).

Here are my Quadrant stats :

Total : 829 (around 520 with stock rom :eek:)

CPU : 1214

Mem : 474

I/O : 1469

2D : 758

3D : 230

Until now, no bug encountered...

Greetings guys ,

Note 2 user here and the last 2 years i am on Samsung.

My first ANDROID phone was xperia x10.

I would like to ask the end users how happy they are with the device and if you had a chance would you change it ?

I checked many reviews on the tablet s and to be honest i really like the design , interface and the special touches that sony making to the operating System. Of course as i checked stucked on ICS but thats not a problem for me at the moment.

Anyway i would like to hear some experience for people already owning the tablet because tomorow i will go shopping for my tablet and this in my country its a bit expensive one .

My wife can keep the ipad:p

Cheers guys
[Sony Tablet S] OssiB:
Hello vatis!

i own my tablet s since about 2 months now an i love it!

it has Remote function and a card reader which is awesome!

Anyways its a fast and very stylish interface.i am very happy with my tablet.even gaming is very good.my tab 2 10.1 for example is lagging on nfs mw and my tablet s isnt! the only thing that is bad is,that it is unrootable on release5a (which iam unfortunately on).
[Sony Tablet S] SWFlyerUK:
Tablet S is a bit old hat, the processor was always laggy, even with ICS.

Now have the Xperia Tablet S and would fully recommend. Un-rootable from Release 6 up...
[Sony Tablet S] rm19:
I got my 32GB tablet for $255 USD shipped from woot so it was worth it for me. I'll summarize my experience:

Positives:

- Great Sony only apps like the beautiful Walkman player, remote control functionality

- Bright, vivid screen with deep blacks

- Unique, light design.

- Full SD card slot for memory expansion.

Negatives:

- Lots of flicker

- Can barely run 720p videos smoothly (yes, I tried different codecs), Handbrake optimized iPhone 4 ones work perfectly.

- Browsing in Chrome is quite sluggish.

- No car charger/USB charging option

[Sony Tablet S] rdalev:
On my 3rd tablet now, Sony Xperia Tablet S 64gb and am finally happy!

My #1 requirement was a Tegra cpu, sorry, Nvidia fan here. #2 was sd card slot and 3rd was good display. Had the Asus Prime, beautiful device but zero gps capability and weak wifi because of full aluminum back, not acceptable for a $500 tablet!

Next was a 7" lenovo with Tegra and card slot but the display was horrible. If Lenovo had a better display it would have given the Nexus a run for their money.

Sony is a little pricey but has everhthing I was looking for and the display may not be 1080p but is still very nice and easy on the eyes! Also after owning 7 and 10 inch tablets somehow the Sony @ 9.4 feels just right.

And one more thing, not sure what the big deal was about "splash proof", I never planned on cooking or swimming with my tablet but this device deserves a lot more love than it's been receiving! :cool:

[Sony Tablet S] rspy:
You should buy the Xperia Tablet S.. Pretty nice tablet... and soon the android JB update will be avaliable!
[Sony Tablet S] :
If your query is about money, yes, this tab is absolutely worth it. This is one of the "older" tabs that is going out of circulation soon (I believe). I bought this device last week and am absolutely surprised + happy :)

Pros

- 9" screen. It might not be the same as iPad (and pointless comparing anything with iPad!), but good enough getting your work done

- device is indeed fast for doing 'normal' stuff

- browsing, playing games et al is good on the screen

- functional remote control through IR for your TV etc. Though, this is more of a gimmicky feature, it was cool to work with :)

- device came with Honeycomb and updated itself to ICS. My hunch is JB will not be offered as the HW may not be 'fast' enough - heck Sony doesn't offer JB for even some of their latest Xperia models far less for 2011 Xperia phones (I have a Xperia Arc and can tell you that the ICS IS sluggish - no point going to JB)

Cons

- No HDMI output

- I see random flickering (white flashes)

If your need is a 9" device at a good price point, grab this before it goes out of stock
[Sony Tablet S] vatis24:
Thanks for your replies guys,

Proud owner of the Xperia Tablet S as from 7th of January ,

Happy with the tablet but i am waiting the JB update that will fix a lot of ICS bugs, specially the 4.0.3 which is well known more buggy than others.

I love the build quality and the strong wifi signal.

Previewsly had the Toshiba AT300 , the build quality really is very cheap and bad ! Also the screen is horrible ! And very laggy machine , for exable if you had a live wallpaper and a few process in the memory the tablet was worse than a single core !

With Xperia tablet i run the most demanding live wallpapers and nothing affects the speed!

SD card slot its a huge plus ! ( not mini SD , SD:p)

I love the mini apps which are very usefull and the remote control its a huge Plus !

The 4 core Tegra cpus and gpu performs amazingly good never saying NO to me :)

Screen quality its very good sharp like a crystal but @ my opinion the colours are a bit washed out , i need a little bit more color.

Sony's Ui, very nice elegant @ my opinion and as far of Sony apps as i said before mini apps are amazing,Remote control , the guest mode and the customazation are a huge plus !

Battery life , usually i am getting 2 days with 6 hours of screen time , i am very pleased.

The most -con of the device is the web browser and i cant really understand WHY !

@my opinion is the most serious problem of the tablet, very buggy unusable app.

Anyway now waiting for the JB to improve i believe to the max the tablet , hope to get it soon !

Share your thoughts pls !

Cheers
