"Reunions" like these make me miss the good ol' OG Epic threads...and the horribly timed updates :p

Having it ship with Éclair and not getting Froyo until half a year later. Then waiting for GB another 8 months...:rolleyes:

*back on topic*

Sammy and the carriers (well atleast Sprint) have really come along way since...To be honest, they surprised me with the JB update. I hope they continue stride with 4.1.2 and/or 4.2 soon :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tonyespo99:
Can't wait! Super excited
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] strongsteve:
Naw.. I think I'm done. Can't do it again. I'm burnt out. Probably just wait for GS4.

This is also supposed to fix the WiFi bug
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] uodii:
Cant wait for this update.

What was the wifi bug? Just curious because I've never run into issues with wifi.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Shaikh86:
This will be awesome but a semi working ROM with multiview is up in the ROMs section! I hope the actual update comes out soon though so that all of our amazing ROMs can benefit off of it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cnstarz:
there's a known, prevalent wifi bug with touchwiz on the sgs3? that's the first time i've ever seen or heard of it referenced anywhere.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jdelano:
aaaccckkkk!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] porshce2:
So will the 4.1.2 update just be skipped for us? I hope not. I want multi-view as soon as possible
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
What wifi bug? :what::what::what:

I was also hoping for multiview
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Emerl:
I'm sure the whole "premium suite" with multi-view will still be in 4.2. What would be the reason for taking it out?

Sent from another Galllaxy
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] porshce2:
No no, l'm sure it'll have it. The thing is, if they skip 4.1.2 we'll have to wait for 4.2 to be released and then sprint will go through their process. So we would probably have it like early summer. If they decide to release 4.1.2 then we would have it much sooner say March. Oh well. Hopefully there'll be more roms that support multiview and are fully functional soon.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
4.2 was released by Google. So it is just as easy for Samsung to start sending test releases of that to Sprint.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] matrixzone5:
Boy what a mistake that was , I mean don't get me wrong HTC is pretty solid now but man the og evo was absolutely horrid when it came to battery life.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rocket321:
Epic > Epic Touch > S3 owner here

I must say I never got all the negatively around samsung updates, yes they take time but they stick with updating top tier phones longer than any other OEM I've seen.

Og epic: éclair - froyo - gingerbread

Epic touch: gingerbread - ics - JB

S3: ics - JB - hopefully JB 4.2

Show me any other OEM with that good of track record.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ascertion:
Honestly, being a flashaholic, I loved the leaks from back in the Epic days. Lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] styles420:
Too true, and why bother continuing to work on the old version? 4.1.2 could take even longer if they split their efforts between both versions, and 4.2 would be delayed regardless of whether they work on both or wait until 4.1.2 is finished to start 4.2

Don't forget the washed out colors and Sprint's intentional crippling of the Epic's fm radio and tv out capabilities as a feeble (and failed) attempt to keep it from overshadowing the Evo ;)

We were spoiled back then, weren't we? :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EggosEvo:
I'm guessing that this will bring Samsungs "premium suite" features if they skip out on 4.1.2 and go straight to 4.2? Hopefully we get some flushable leaks soon.

EDIT:

i didnt notice im not in the right section,please lock/delete this theard ,i opened new one in the right place.

Hey,i got RR 3.1.3 since the day its out..had about 5 battery cycles and still having a massive drain :(

my phone had FULL battery at about 17:00,it got stuck after 30 minutes(in that point i had about 82%),i turned it off by long pressing the power key.

when the phone got up it came with 70% battery,i almost didnt use the phone since then. maybe maximum 30 total minutes on whatsapp.

edit:

here its about 2:50am now,i got 29% left.

so far the battery will be better.
[General Topics] Segnale007:
Just like the topic says I miss the marketplace section a lot and I wish it will return someday, maybe with some more security changes / restrictions that will prevent users from being scammed. It's very unfair that the whole community had been penalised for not having a marketplace because of a bunch scammers.

I miss the good old deals I used to make over there, having the opportunity to exchange phones and tablets at fair price because of the love for the community and the love for the technology really, or simply to just step by and look at the daily deals that were available.

Some of us, most of us here have gained a good reputation among users in the Markeplace, and I am really looking forward to see it coming back during this 2013.

To the XDA team, take it as a 2013 resolution :)

Thanks

Just wanting to know what's the highest temp you've got on your phones cpu.

I've gotten 64 degrees celcius a few days while doing nothing except web browsing,. Only happens to me on stock kernels, and during extremely hot days.
[HTC One X] Deleted member 3252403:
I have achieved 99 Celcius due to hot weather, and recording HD video right after playing Dead Trigger.
[HTC One X] dilster97:
Wow I got 70℃ web browsing and 84℃ gaming one time.

Apparently HTC said it's normal for the phone to reach 55℃ and over.

Its like my Alienware M18X, I learnt to appreciate the built in hand warmer in the Winter.
[HTC One X] Alex240188:
CPU will start to throttle back at 97 degrees c.

CPU will also throttle back when battery hits 50degrees
[HTC One X] dilster97:
Even though the cpu throttles at 97℃ I doubt it could reach that unless anybody has a picture.

I have rooted and cycled through a few custom roms. I have been on cm10.1 since early december and feel like i have lots of my apps in 2 or 3 different places on the memory. How do I know what is current and what is old unused info. I would be willing to do a fun system reset if i knew it would get rid of all the extra junk i have know but even when i have done that in the past it seems like there is still stuff i installed in the memory
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Idlekilla:
You can factory reset somewhere in the settings menu, or if you have installed cwn you can delete everything within that and install a new rom via odin.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] jd1639:
To get rid of everything, you'll have to format you internal sd card and do a factory reset. Then flash the stock rom with Odin. What recovery are you using?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Abrown0920@gmail.com:
I am using clockworkmod. I have only used odin when i rooted.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Abrown0920@gmail.com:
Can I deleted everything stored under the sd card without messing anything up
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] jd1639:
Depends on what you mean by not messing anything up. If you want your phone to be like new and you're willing to odin or recovery a new Rom, then yes. If you want existing stuff to run correctly, then no
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] brazilguy:
You could format /system, format /sdcard, do a system wipe, wipe dalvik cache and then flash your rom from with the zip with sideload (on ADB), assuming you have all your personal files and apps backed up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jaed.43725:
I hath seen the videos, downloaded the SDK (cant figure out how to do jack though), read the forums, etc. But what I would like to know is if anybody is working on getting it on the GNex. It looked very impressive, and would either have to make a hard decision between Ubuntu, Tizen or the next Android. Or else buy another phone and load one on the wifes, one on my DD and one on the other. Any comment or info especially is appreciated. Thanks.:good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 063_XOBX:
Honestly you're probably going to be fairly dissatisfied with any new OS vs Android at its current level. They will be at a 5+ year disadvantage to what took Google half a decade to achieve.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jaed.43725:
I can see where you are coming from. However with the amount of pressure put on anything new coming out, I would think it would be fairly polished. Not to mention Tizen will run Android apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bob.santaniello:
I really want to try a new OS on my VZW Nexus but there are none that I have found yet. Hopefully Ubuntu OS and Tizen make its way to the vzw varient of the gnex
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shahrukhraza:
Tizen will run all android apps?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gnustomp:
It's called Dalvik. It's a Virtual Machine. It powers all Android apps, including the system. Build Dalvik for some other platform, and you have Android apps on it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CADude:
Not really. Look at Windows Phone. Microsoft has tons of money and their WP8 OS is absolute featureless garbage, even after 2 years that Microsoft had with WP7.

The only way to make Tizen better than Android is to make it truly open to the community and allow more than just one company/foundation/organization to pump features, patches, optimizations into it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jaed.43725:
I didn't say anything about better. But since you mention it having to be open, yes Tizen is completely open. From what I gather is that it being HTML5 is supposed to make it easier to develop for (however my knowledge of code is limited). I do encourage everyone to watch the videos on YouTube and learn about it. It is at the least fascinating.

[Nexus 7 General] dro855:
I bought a Nexus 7 about a couple weeks ago, and was instantly disappointed by the washed out colors and lack of saturation. Also, I was having charging, lag, and Bluetooth issues. I tried the a custom ROM, kernel, hacks, and still wasn't happy with the performance or colors of the device. I had read all the threads, and pretty much decided to sell it. Before I did though, I decided to downgrade to the factory 4.1.2 OS, since many of the performance issues were caused by 4.2. Long story short: I will be keeping the N7 now. I haven't tested Bluetooth so far, but I haven't seen any of the performance issues so far. No lagging or glitchy behavior with any apps; especially when multitasking. I have all my apps, music, and videos loaded back on it, and all is good.

Interestingly enough, the colors actually look better as well. I noticed it pretty quickly, but since everything I read said it was an issue with the calibration, I didn't think it would be resolved by the downgrade. It was pretty much confirmed when I opened Facebook for the first time on 4.1.2. On 4.2, even the simple blue splash screen looked like it had a low bit rate. The best example would be the way a picture is degraded when saving in MS Paint, or when you set the display colors to 16-bit and get the circular wave pattern on the background. On 4.2, it was the normal smooth blue. Also, the colors don't look overexposed when the brightness is increased like before. Even when compared side-by-side with my RAZR M, the display looks more natural than it did on 4.2.

Its charging right now, and that is much faster as well. Yesterday, it was charging like 10-15% every hour, and now its charged about 10% in 20 minutes or so. I will update the thread as I continue to use it, but just wanted to put my experience out there. Also, it is rooted, but no custom ROM or kernel and I couldn't be happier.
[Nexus 7 General] ganovim:
What is the best method for downgrading?
[Nexus 7 General] dro855:
Search fof this on Google; its on the other forum: [GUIDE] Nexus 7 - Factory Image Restore by 2defmouze
[Nexus 7 General] Logan_M:
If you are rooted you can install the Trickster Mod app from the Play store and turn Smart dimmer off. That should fix washed out colors.
[Nexus 7 General] Letitride:
Take your time, save & backup apps & data on your N7 first, move them to an external source or cloud (hint, hint - Goggle Drive & Dropbox) and always good idea to start with a fully charged (or, at least 80% plus) device.

Use one of the Nexus tool kits to help guide the steps in downloading & flashing the 4.1.2 factory image, then root it (bootloader should remian unlocked) and flash 1 of 2 custom recovery image - reboot & set up the device again, give it time to "settle" & restore - and you should be good to go in getting your Apps & previously saved data back on the device.

While you are at it - you might want to select an alternate browser that support Flash Player 11.x, and, add Beats Audio/DSP to boost the speakers volume, and get 720p video back on your camera - and use custom recovery to make a full backup and set it aside safely. Disable and ignore the "prompt" for software upgrade and enjoy.
[Nexus 7 General] dro855:
The Trickster Mod didn't work for me. Plus, its more to fix the washed out affect caused by playing videos. With that said, I play all videos through MX Player. It allows you to adjust the brightness of videos and overrides the auto-brightness feature that causes the wash out.

Also, as mentioned before, make sure you properly back up your apps and data. I saved all my info to my computer before downgrading. It will wipe everything and give you a clean slate.
[Nexus 7 General] CrazyPeter:
Going to have to downgrade too this week.

The Bluetooth problems are killing me. I am off on holiday soon, and want to stream music to my Bluetooth speakers, but 4.2 is totally broken in this regard.

Waited as long as I can for Google to release a 4.2.2, but it's not happened. It's such a crime that the media went ballistic over the December non-bug and gave that all the media attention, but the real problems get no press at all, and Google are allowed to drag their heels on a fix.

[Nexus 7 General] Letitride:
Nah, you don't have to deal with that nonsense every few hours or daily, just disable it or turn it off - it's been discussed & # of ways to do it - my stock Rom being rooted, I used the free Autorun Manager from the Store, edit the framework & bam, done in 30 seconds. No more reminder - 4.1.2 is great for me and it does all that I needed with a bit of customization - I don't need overclocking for fancy kernel, etc.

4.2.1 is great if you get rid of all the bloatware. I'm running sgt7 with lean kernel and its faster than 4.1 was for me
[Nexus 7 General] TMan459:
I was a bit underwhelmed with 4.2 as well for a bit. Finally CyanogenMod released 10.1 (Android 4.2) nightlies, and that combined with a custom kernel and TricksterMod has my N7 running quicker than 4.1 ever did.

Only side effect is symlinking doesn't work. But I'd rather use my 16GB flash drive to play my old PS1 games instead of what's available from the Play Store anyways. Much more fun, but may be due to nostalgia.
[Nexus 7 General] xateeq:
Y downgrade ?

U got a Flagship nexus Tablet so you can get the fastest access to the updates and then you dont want the update or want to go back.

Why ?

I have no issues on 4.2.1 (just flash a good kernel and ur good to go).

P.S: Never look back unless ur at the end of the road :D
[Nexus 7 General] phillip1953:
4.2.1 works great for me. Bluetooth to an external audio device works, colors are 'normal' (don't look any different than any other release of the OS) and battery life is great. Guess I'm lucky.
[Nexus 7 General] gelhack:
Got my N7 last summer and installed 4.2 the day after it came out. Downgraded a week later. The deal killer for me was was the inability to run scripts to bind directories on my usb stick and then see them from my installed apps. Never tried Blue tooth as I only got a BT keyboard after I downgraded. But then there was also the volume nag screen when the head phone jack is active.
[Nexus 7 General] adxgrave:
Me too waiting for directory bind to work on 4.2.1 since the upgrade, figured that by this time someone might come out with workable solution. Guess I'm wrong. I've no use of multiple user, I'm seriously considering to downgrade now. Another issue is the random reboot, it ruin everything from gaming to watching movies.

Which stock rom you guys downgrade to? I'm on 4.2.1 JOP40D. Can I just backup everything in titanium backup, restore and expect everything to works. Any special step to follow?
[Nexus 7 General] MatAuc12:
That is such a narrow minded oversimplification. 4.2.1 is proving extremely buggy for Nexus 7 at the moment. The amount of issues and lag are tremendous. If an update means lag and bug in no way it is wise to update.

You don't have any issues, congrats. I for one has a close to useless device on 4.2.1.

Now, will you try to make posts that make more sense than "you have updates, update" please.
[Nexus 7 General] Catchpen:
There's a post like that in every thread. "Thousands of people suffer from documented bug/problems even acknowledged by Google but since I don't have any of the problems everyone including Google must be wrong". :confused:
[Nexus 7 General] jocke_lulle:
I've been on stock 4.2.1 since the update first came but I haven't liked it since it lags more than previous versions and also the tablet freezes and reboots from time to time (at least once a week). Lately I have been thinking about downgrade to 4.1.2 with the nexus 7 toolkit but then I read about the upcoming 4.2.2. Hopefully it will arrive soon(!) and fix all that were broken with 4.2. Otherwise I also will downgrade to 4.1.2. One of the reasons I bought a nexus device was to avoid rooting and flashing and still be using the latest that android had to offer. But as 4.2 turned out maybe I have to reconsider my decision :)

[Nexus 7 General] Salty Wagyu:
I switched to 4.2.1 last week and thought I'd be fine and avoid most reported problems as long as I do a full erase in Fastboot, well I was wrong! The OS definitely feels a lot slower compared to 4.1, despite Currents having already been disabled, and no sign of storage slowdown in Androbench. Recent Apps takes a while to come up as well, that's the noticeable one.

Hoping 4.2.2 fixes most issues too.
[Nexus 7 General] blackhand1001:
Yeah. They need to get rid of the dumb animation they added. Even if you disable that its still way slower. They just need to revert the code to the 4.1 version.
[Nexus 7 General] Censura_Umbra:
I have noticed lag, didn't realize it was from 4.2

Oh well cm10.1 has made it much better.
[Nexus 7 General] gelhack:
Read on another forum that you can run "adb shell" from a normal root shell and from there you can do a "mount - o bind....." which will supposedly allow access to the bound directory from all apps. Not sure if I want to go through the hassle of re upgrading (and another downgrade if it doesn't work) but you might try it before you downgrade. BTW, I use SManager on 4.1 to manage and run my scripts. Maybe something like "adb shell < bindScript.sh" would work.

I have 4.2.1 and I must admit that everything WORKS, but the device just doesn't feel as fast and snappy as with 4.1.1... and the screen sliding bug is really pissing me off! Just don't want to go through all the hassle of backing up/restoring, etc...
[Nexus 7 General] Catchpen:
I was on "Glazed Jelly" 4.1.2 ROM that was working well. I found the latest ParanoidAndroid before it switched to 4.2 on this thread and installed it last night. It seems to have a little lag compared to the Glazed Jelly but the G.J. ROM would do a S.O.D. overnight when charging. I wouldn't restore data with TB after rolling back, just the apps & no data option.
[Nexus 7 General] mikegadd:
Simple solution if you have unlocked and rooted if you have not you need use one of the kits on forum.

I keep thinking I should move to 4.2.1 and have tried several rooms and have always moved back to this Rom 4.1.2 Kaos_Droid-V3.8.3.zip you will need to search google for it as he has also moved the current version to 4.2.1.

You wont be disappointed.

The issues I have with the upgrade is the directory structure for some reason google/android think a tablet should be for multiple users why. also some important programs wont load.

So as before my solution is use Kaos_Droid-V3.8.3.zip rom it is the fastest one I have found and has never crashed it has several kernel option try different ones before putting data back.

Also you should use the latest version of TWRP Touch Recovery and back up before moving to to 4.2.1 always copy the TWRP directory to pc before doing anything else. The latest version of TWRP seems to find its back up even if you upgrade to 4.2.1.

Remember 4.2.1 adds a directory 0 and moves all data directories to it this is my main issue with 4.2.1 as no consideration is taken to previous android version and its directory paths.
[Nexus 7 General] sparhawk6:
I agree that 4.2 is very laggy. I can't stand it. I find myself going back to my Galaxy Note 2 for Google Now searches because the lag on my Nexus 7 is very annoying.

I have been spending a few weeks researching the development forum to find a 4.2 ROM that got rid of the lag, but I'm guessing by the response here that there isn't any fix. Bummer.
[Nexus 7 General] Cor-master:
But but but it's okay for it to be laggy because it's cheap!

Actually no, but you'd be surprised how many people argue this terrible theory. I agree, 4.2 is kind of like the first working build on a new cyanogenmod version where everything works but barely. It wasn't ready for prime time, yet people act like "oh its okay because the nexus 7 is cheap". Rubbish! I bought mine in August and it was lag free and buttery smooth until I updated it to 4.2 so plain and simple price has nothing to do with it!
