[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeeshanonlyme:
There is a hardware hack for N2 that allows to add another sd card,on top of the 64 Gb sd card. Basically another card with its adapter is stuck on the back of the cover(inside) and is coonected by a copper wire to the phone. As far as i can remember , nfc has to be "taken off". Well im wont go into the technicalities.

And in CES 2013 there is a chance of seeing a 128 Gb sd card. So you gotta wait a bit to find out :D
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mshtawythug:
Hey guys I had my GT not turning on so many times

Usually holding the power button for a couple of minutes or holding power and volume up or even holding power and tabbing on the screen will turn it on but this time nothing worked.

I don't know if this would help I just wanted to share.

I have a YouTube video for it but I can't post it because I am a new user.

So I opened it out and plugged the battery wire out of and holder the power button for like 10 seconds then plugged the battery wire and now it works

Stock JB removes the hidden partitions used to reset the counter.

Once we get JB source we can probably work with CF to get a kernel/recovery that allows it just like the S3 and N2.

You can also one click Odin back to a stock Rom like EL29 and it will get rid of it too. It won't reset the count though.

As for the jig. If it doesn't work you need a different bootloader. Calkulin had one on his thread. Can't remember which one. I do remember it had sbl in the name of the file itself.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CatalystWon:
On CM 10 (JB 4.1.2) the status bar height is very small.

How do we increase

only the height of the status bar

?.

This is not a dpi resolution question because dpi changes the size of everything on the screen and the intention here is to

only increase the status bar height

, and of course the size of the contents within the status bar accordingly.

Thanks!:)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ankur850:
DPI

I think changing the screen DPI would work if you have rooted phone.

status bar height varies by .png 9.png image in systemui.apk.

Also try some trick with styles.xml through decompile & recompile :cowboy:

Or try Screen Density changer app from play store , I think that could help you.

Hi...

Is there any simulation software to test different ROMs??
[LG Optimus G (International)] scoobydooby:
Hey All..

I was hoping to get some discussion on the pros/cons of the currently available firmwares for the E973.

Recently I had to use the KDZ reflash to bring my phone back to life.. at the time I had used the downloader to grab the .kdz file. I wasn't aware at the time that it was the H version with the most recent update already included.

After a couple weeks with it I decided that I wanted to get root back, so yesterday I reflashed to E97310F and in doing so, I've noticed there are several differences between F and H, and for me with my phone, strangely enough E97310F is far better for me.

The main things I noticed in the change:

- Smoothness of the GUI.. on E97310F I find that things are way smoother.. particularly within the app drawer. Using E97310H when I would click on a folder, the opening animation was a bit sluggish.. the folder would close normally however. Using E97310F this doesn't happen. it opens fine both ways.

- Battery Life - This for me was obvious. When I originally went to E97310H I noticed all the sudden that my battery life took a hit to the point where it was enough to be obvious. Going back to E97310F I've noticed that the battery does definitely last longer. I have no idea why this would be other than that core changes were made either to the kernal or otherwise..

- The wifi signal on the top notification bar was not reporting the proper strength on E97310H.. Often I would find that even though I was 8 ft away from my Wireless N router that I would have 1-2 bars for wireless.. Now back on E97310F its at full strength and displays correctly. I am not sure if there was much difference in performance as I never actually ran tests to prove this thought one way or another.

After using this phone on both versions I definitely am keeping mine on E97310F.. overall it just seems to work better than the latest version, for me anyway.

Are there any other differences that you all have noticed between the two?
[LG Optimus G (International)] xerockz:
Interesting results. I unfortunately haven't been able to test either and am stuck on E97310g because the KDZ Updater Tool won't even recognize my phone (I have some sort of dev or display phone with a weird IMEI).
[LG Optimus G (International)] markdexter:
I'm also considering going back to the f firmware, have you noticed any differences or bugs on the f version?

Also if we download the update, but don't install it, does anyone know where it keeps it temporarily, id like to look at the zip, see if we can make a flashable zip for cwm
[LG Optimus G (International)] scoobydooby:
I haven't noticed anything weird with it at all.. I find that its smoother overall and I haven't had any force closes or reboots.. plus since I've rooted and frozen all the apps that would at times run in the background I find its helped free up memory and my battery is lasting much longer.

Does anyone even know what the more recent updates have changed?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] oranges311:
im new to the photon q and im trying to figure out the beam feature. Ive been googling to try and find it out but I cant get any info on the photon specifically. i tried to beam a picture to my sisters s3 and it opened up the the play store and said search not found or something similar. when she sent one to me it would send me to the same place or it would say that my device cant receive large format files or something like that.

it sent webpages just fine but wouldnt do pics. is this because they are on a newer version of android?

as a side note question is this phone a legit contender in the smart phone world? I bought it from best buy to give it a try because they let you try it for 30 days and if you dont you can exchange it for somethign else. Is it in league with the s3? is it crap? I like the keyboard a lot and hate to not have one but I need to upgrade because my beloved epic is dying. what are your opinions on the phone? versus the s3? some other valid contender?

thanks all
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
I like it, but I'm a whore for a keyboard.

AFAIK the NFC chip in this thing is completely useless. Doesn't work with Google Wallet, and I seriously doubt if it'll work with the S3. I'm betting Sammy's NFC sharing only works with other Sammy devices....
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] oranges311:
that kinda sucks. its far from a necessity to have it but it would have been cool. is it a hardware thing or software do u know?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] dwaynet89:
I talked to someone at sprint about the NFC once b/c I was tryna do the same with a s3. They basically told me that its not compatible b/t ics and jb b/c of the way the data is compiled, sent and received or something like that. It's been so long since I was told about it. Ics to ics yes that is supposed to work but not ics to jb.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Uhm... That's not true at all. When the S3 was on ICS, it didn't work. Whenever we get JB, it still won't work with the S3. Again, AFAIK the Samsung beam is proprietary to Samsung.

At any rate, I am hoping it's just a software issue. We have the NFC chip, and I don't believe the chip itself is crippled... but I am just speculating at this point. I do not know for a fact, just wishful thinking! :good:
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] /ofAllEvil:
It must be a Samsung thing because I had the same problem with my friends S3 to my photon but my nexus 7's NFC works fine with the photon q
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] oranges311:
Even to send pictures?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Hey, the N7's NFC worked with the Photon Q...? That's impressive! So it seems we have a regular NFC chip, perhaps it's just Google Wallet that doesn't work... Wonder why?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] dpwhitty11:
Google wallet is typically blocked as per the carrier because they have or are about to have their own NFC payment method (like Verizon and Isis).

Also, the GS3 uses its own funky thing for NFC. The Q's NFC works the same as any other device, so things like Android Beam work. GS3 uses S Beam or whatever they call it, which only works between GS3 devices.

To answer OP's additional question, yes, this phone is up there on the top of the "powerful smartphones" list. The screen has a lower dpi than most, but it makes up for it with the processor. The only faster chips on the market are the S4 Pro (in the DNA and Nexus 4) Exynos 5 (Nexus 10).
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] wingzeroismine:
That sounds kinda sorta along the right idea. From what I've read jelly bean enhances NFC for larger file transfers by automagically initiating a Bluetooth connection between the devices to send data like pictures.

Here's the fist link I found that briefly mentions it too.

http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/27/google-details-jelly-bean-nfc-features-android-beam-upgrade-ta/

So yes, in essence NFC is useless for us with ICS, you could send contact info (like palm pilots used to do with IR), web links, and other very basic textual information and that's it for now, the larger things should be doable once we get jelly bean hopefully at some point in the first half of this year.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] rj88:
Samsung's S Beam uses wifi direct to make a connection as opposed to the bluetooth connection made with Android Beam.

Wifi Direct can send a hell of a lot more data at a faster rate than bluetooth. U can download the app "wifi direct" from the app store and send photos, movies, etc.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Encerspay:
Had to clear that up.

I'm just interested in knowing what ROMs you guys are running, and why.

I'm not rooted yet (plan on doing that tomorrow)

but I'm looking for the most stable ROM with the best battery life.

With all of these threads and links, it's hard to keep up.

So I'm hoping to hear from the community.

I have no intentions of this thread turning into a "this ROM is better than X ROM because of Y Reason."

Just seeing what needs people have and the ROM(s) that fit those needs.

And I'm curious as to which one(s) have spectacular battery life! :D

Post away.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xxsicknessxx:
I came from a S2 which is how I learned to root. Its fun. Flashing is addictive... really. I change roms when ever one has something new and cool I just gotta try but I can truly say that JELLYBAM is the best I have used as of now.... though im always looking. If you get over the broken boot up imiage its the best I have used (not that I tried them all) I get like 20percent drain from a entire day of use

I am running ParanoidKANGdroid right now, going on closer to a week on it. I have tried CM10.1 nightlies and the newest AOKP, as well as task650's AOKP, but my favorite so far is this one. It has the most customization I've found, which I really love. My only complaints are that I don't like the camera, the "desk clock", and it's only 4.2.1. So far my favorite though
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] paniro187:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] oxidase:
Im using Paranoidandroid, i felt like kangdroid was too bulky with too much extra stuff i didn't need/want. I like paranoid cause it seems pretty simple and smooth. But i have had some issues with random restarts, camera messing up, gallary messing up, and some other things i cant remember right now. I rooted for the first time like a week or so ago and i really like it. I just want more stability, best that i've used but im not satisfied. :P Plus the rom hasn't been touched since 11/21/12 so it could probably use some upgrades.

Anything is better than ATT stock JB, which sometimes drained in 20hrs.

Right now what im looking for though is a stock rom that has been stripped and streamlined. I have two things i need my phone for, Ustream/Livestream and taking pictures/video. Anything that is gonna crash unexpectedly or slow down because of so much extra junk is useless to me.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] y0yerrj0sh:
+1 I've researched almost all of the roms for our phone and i found that jellybam suits my needs. Plus i find that the mixture of ParanoidAndroid, AOKP, and Cyanogenmod is cool and makes for a lot of customization and features. It's a good rom pretty stable not much bugs or anything. And i'm also getting good battery life. I think the boot image should be fixed soon. But as with any rom it's all up to personal preference.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Heisenberg420:
Battery life and stability are the two things I look for in a rom. 4.2.1 ROMs are the way to go unless you need Bluetooth streaming. Everything else has been near perfectly stable. Liquid smooth, tasks aokp, illusion and slimbean take your pick.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drinfernoo:
But none of those have the Bluetooth streaming figured out?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jpride:

I am on Task650's 12/23/12 build because I use Bluetooth media streaming (mostly Audible) extensively throughout the day, in my car. The newest version of Task's ROM is nice and solid, but I can't live without BT audio.

I will commit to daily JB ROM flashing when that issue is cleared up.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Heisenberg420:
Not completely sure. Not something that I use. I've read people are having problems with it. I'm sure the cyanogenmod team is working hard on it and will probably have it working in the next few weeks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Encerspay:

(S Beam, S Voice, Smart Stay, etc)

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Heisenberg420:
I enjoy touchwiz features too. They're not something I use everyday but I prefer being on 4.2. So many speed and battery life improvements.

Keep in mind you can usually find an app to replace touchwiz features. Like smart statusbar will allow you to show the status bar when in full screen mode.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Encerspay:

Hi guys and girls,

I had my phone's main board replaced after it suffered a sudden death.

Now it is really laggy at times and randomly restarts itself. After the restart it drops about 10-12% battery too. Does anyone else have this problem?

For some reason, media is destroying my battery too. Not sure if it's linked.

I'm running jb 4.1.1, see third photo!

Cheers
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rikmk90:
Are you using a custom Kernel?

Just to let you know, i have read that those lagging symptoms that you described and random reboots can sometimes lead to the sudden death :(

I can confirm that the media scanner service does kill battery. It usually occurs when you first boot your phone. All 4 cores run at top speed to scan the files on your S3 as quick as possible. If you want you can disable it using an app called Rescan media ROOT on the play store.

Hope this helps
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] illy_jay:
Hey mate thanks for the reply.

I'm actually running completely stock, so no custom kernels.

Interesting you say that, because my phone had actually suffered a sudden death and just came back from the repairers.

Funnily enough I uninstalled Double Twist music player, and now it's running way smoother and hasn't suffered a reboot yet. No media scanning either!

Pity because I loved that player....
