[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Archangel:
Just updated with a cooler Andy style launcher and sweeter delete animation, take a look!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sideoutjj:
I like the looks of the main icons at the bottom (messaging, phone, etc) Is that the way it comes or did you change them?

Also, I know that you can also download the Xperia wallpapers and widgets. Are these included in here?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Thebear j koss:
Digging the changes on this. Only thing missing is vertical scrolling in the app drawer.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Archangel:
The icons at the bottom are mine in my theme,,,if you would like pm me and I can send it to you as long as your on clean rom 5.5.1. The widgets and wallpapers should be included but if not I can post them here.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Archangel:
Working on that I hate the side scrolling
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Thebear j koss:
It's not a a big deal, but I like the vertical scroll.

Thebe@r'$ G@L@XY
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sideoutjj:
Thanks. Almost all the widgets on yours are what is included in another xperia launcher on here. The main one that is missing is the weather app. I love that one, but you do not have it.

I am not on CleanRom...

I like the horizontal (left to right) scrolling like they have in the regular xperia launcher. Just my 2 cents.

The only other thing I wish any of the xperia launchers had was the ability to continue scroll through the app drawer....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Archangel:
I am locating a weather widget you might be able to use will post on here

Edit: Try this weather widget,,,its not mine and I have some problems with the alarm, but I have never used a widget for that,,let me know.

Here is another one not mine I just themed it a little, it is labelled home and the weather widget below it works perfectly, only thing is you lose some customization but i can live with out it.

My original phone had problems with charging (it wouldn't charge at all) so I decided to bring it to the nearest Sprint store only for them to decide that the best course of action is to replace the phone with a refurbished one (and so I did).

Now, this new phone has shown a couple of horrible results:

The phone does not charge unless left alone. (Meaning it would not charge when I use it whilst plugged in; in fact it drains about 1% per 10 minutes!)

When it charges (while left alone) it charges UBER slow, it charged up 10% in 2hours prior to posting this forum topic

- EDIT: as of now 8:08pm PST, the phone charged an additional 7% to a total of 17% charged in ~5hours

And last, I tried charging it overnight while the phone is off. This morning it said 100%, but as soon as I turned the phone on the battery dropped to 45% and in a few minutes down to 28%

Now, I've searched and searched for solutions to similar problems but could not find any of which has any closely similar symptoms.

I love this phone so much, I thank everyone who will help in any way possible!

I'm in college and in dire need of this phone everyday! It's ruining my schedule/life!!!! :crying:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
In settings > about phone > status does charging say AC or USB? If it's USB your charger may be bad. You can try changing chargers but you need a wall wart the same Amps as your stock charger which I believe is now 2.0A when older devices only used 1.0A. You can also go to dialer hit ##3282# > edit > enter MSL and then disable USB charging I forget which label it's under but if you peek around you'll see it. Just uncheck the box back out of dialer and reboot.

I like to break stuff! :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] johntwothreefour:
Thank you for your response, although unfortunately it says AC so that's not the issue as of the moment. Thank you though
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Have you tried a differnt charger? Maybe your wall wart or cable are slightly off and not allowing proper current flow. The only other thing I can think of is its the battery or the hardware of the phone itself, so I say start with the charger/cable since its the cheapest

I like to break stuff! :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] johntwothreefour:
It's not the charger as well, I tried it on my friend's GS3 and i works fine. :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
The only thing I can think of then is either the battery has a bad charging circuit or theres something wrong with your USB port/voltage regulator. Have you tried cleaning the USB port with compressed air and then a dab of 91%+ alcohol on a twisted up piece of paper towel to get any sticky gunk off of the contacts? Thats the last thing I can think of trying b4 jumping to switching batteries and then taking it to a repair center for them to test the phone itself.

I like to break stuff! :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] johntwothreefour:
Alright, I'll try those, thanks :)

Although I'm really leaning towards this being more of a problem with the software because of reason #1 on OP.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
That was what originally had me thinking it was charging in usb mode. Cuz when im plugged into my pc and doing stuff it wont chsrge fast enough to keep up with the drain. Thag could also be a symptom of the voltage regulator being bad, not getting more power in than power out.

I like to break stuff! :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] johntwothreefour:
HOLY cheese-its. Cleaning the thing with twisted paper and hand sanitizer (as you said, but didn't have rubbing alcohol with me) yielded a result: it is now showing an estimated time before it is fully charged (wherein before, it was stuck at "calculating"). I'll be updating if there are any more progress

THANKS!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Thank my kids for gunking up my phones on the regular :D:eek:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dibblebill:
I have two problems I need help with, and this might be the wrong forum.

I'll start off with some very specifics, including technical specs. I have an Acer Iconia a500. It has an nVidia Tegra 2 T20 CPU (ARMv7 rev 0 version 71) with 1GB of RAM, 16GB of storage space, and an 8GB microSD card. Manufactured early 2011. It is currently running Android 4.1.2.

Kernel version 2.6.39.4-jellyplay_v3.1+ pj@linux#1

Thu Nov 22 19:23:47 ICT 2012

Build number

cm_a500-userdebug 4.1.2 JZO54K eng.pj.20121122.181927 test-keys

First, the Google Search crashes every time I open it. I did the OS install (ROM, OS, almost same thing) from a clean wipe. Google Search, when I open it, gets through the Google Now setup stages. But whether I choose yes or no, it then returns to the previous screen with no errors or messages for me. I found a suggestion that said I should wipe my cache- that just forced Android to 'optimize' my apps- no change in behavior. Anybody have any hints?

Second, Google Chrome hasn't worked for ages on my tablet, even under the stock (but rooted) ICS. It says 'Critical functionality required to run Chrome is missing: either your Chrome installation is incomplete, or not compatible with this version of Android.' I did try to change the build.prop file to match the ILK74M, I think was the suggestion, and that didn't work. Before I changed the build.prop, it reported that my Android installation may be corrupt. I also tried un-updating the market, and reinstalling the app. No dice. Ideas?

Finally, I'm using pjsports's CM10 Jellybean ROM. It was last updated on November 26th, 2012. Is there a more updated CM10 and/or Jellybean ROM for the Acer a500 that I'm missing? EDIT: Just found pjgsport's weekly release. I'll try updating to that. I'd still like help with the other two, or at least an explanation.

You're on 4.2.1 stock?

Wouldn't hurt to try. I'll try connecting to my 2013 Jetta tonight. What is it you're trying to tether? Audio, I suspect...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nextelbuddy:
Cars usually only connect to Phones via bluetooth because phones have different bluetooth profiles than tablets since phones have changes in their framework to allow phone calls.

most cars connect to the phone so you can use the phone hands free. tablets dont have hands free bluetooth profiles thus is probably why your Mercedes isn't linking properly as the tablet doesn't support syncing phone books and phone calls.

Someone else may have paired theirs with their Dodge ram but they most likely paired it for Audio to their audio system but not their navigation/phone system.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] aztheroth:
Hi guys. Have a problem with my phone. Seems like I screwed it up. I was running sacs custom rom and I downloaded the TWRP (maybe a wrong version), the thing is that I downloaded it and flashed through Clockwork recovery and after that the phone went black and now doesn't turn on. Not even with home+vol up+power and not even with vol down+home+power. Nothing. Removed battery for 30 seconds and nothing.

any advice? I know I was a dumb. I'm paying insurance for it so I guess I could turn it in. But if there's something I can do, please let me know.

Thanks!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] billard412:
Where did u get the twrp u flashed? gotta link?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] milky1112:
Double check you didn't flash something for the I9300 or another version. If it won't give you any sort of life (Try getting to download (Odin) mode) Then more then likely it's bricked..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KyleK29:
Same problem here. No joy so far. The PC detects something (USB connected device) when I plug it in, but nothing that Odin is picking up.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] aztheroth:
ok. I downloaded TWRP 2.3 BL or something. Downloaded through GooManager doing a search,. Then rebooted the phone on recovery mode and installed it from CW. After it was flashed, the phone went black and never turned back on. If I connect usb cable to a PC I get the sound on the PC when you put any USB device but phone doesn't turn on. Tried removing the battery for a few hours and back in but nothing. tried conecting usb without the battery and it turns on the red light as if it's charging. then goes off. tried with vol up (and down), home and power but nothing.

I guess I got a hard bricked phone and I'm screwed for being stupid and install something I wasn't sure. It wasn't a ROM, so I thought it would not harm the device. Was wrong.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] csmasn:
^ you say it all.

But when you got a replacement. Just press menu key in Goo Manager and select "install open recovery"

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] aztheroth:
yeap. asked sprint about repair it, since I have the insurance but they told me I had to pay a deductible. So I just called insurance I reported lost. Rather pay the same deductible amount and have it for spare parts than give it to them, plus the deductible. hehe. maybe someday I find way to make it work or just use it a spare parts.

thanks you guys for all the advices given. Still, if there's something else I could try, let me know.

Just hope no one else do that.

Once again... Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] billard412:
Since you found it via searching it could have been for any phone, probably not yours. a link would have helped here to confirm. The best way to confirm it's a paperweight is to plug in PC n see what windows calls it. If it shows up as QHSUSB_DLOAD then it's fukd.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] aztheroth:
yes. for sure was for any other phone that mine. so, should I put a bootloader on the micro sd and try lo connect it through odin to see if it detects it? where it's supposed to show that QHSUSB_DLOAD ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Sooppex:

[Galaxy S III General] odoto:
as you know most, if not all, phone manufactures void your warranty when you flash custom software... some, like htc, do it upfront, when unlocking your bootloader... others, like samsung, use flash counters to identify evil custom rom users when faced with warranty claims.

the reason given is always the same: they don't want to pay for (hardware) damage done by the custom software... and most of us would probably object and call bull****, our beloved custom roms aren't doing any damage, with the sole exception of people taking overclocking way too far...

what arguably could be prevented via hardware restrictions by the manufactures if they really wanted to... so if that really is all they fear, no problem here.

But I think the SDS issue adds a new point to the discussion. now we can quite easily construct a case where Samsung could legitimately say that custom software killed the phone: an S3 that would have lived a long and happy life running Samsungs fixed stock kernel, but died because an idiot or an unaware person flashed a kernel without the fix. In other words, the custom software wouldn't really kill the phone... but it would not be preventing it from killing itself :P

(of course the same applies to simply not updating your phone)

I still think warranty for hardware issues shouldn't be voided if one uses custom software (so please don't kill me), but I guess in this case the manufactures side is understandable as well...

PS: what the SDS issue also shows is the awesomeness of an open platform like android, so Samsung is forced to share their kernel code (hence the fix) with us :)
[Galaxy S III General] blazevxi:
Unless you live in the EU, then you can argue your case.
[Galaxy S III General] delsus:
Unless Samsung engineer a problem if you flash custom ROMs then only problems that can be directly caused by a custom ROM or kernel is overheating from over clocking.
[Galaxy S III General] Zylian91:
Through my cellphone company I pay like 4 euros a month for an extended warranty that covers my broken phone even if it is rooted as long as the problem wasnt caused by the root. Not sure if you can get the same.
[Galaxy S III General] odoto:
do they specifically say they cover phones that have been tampered with software-wise? Oo
[Galaxy S III General] spamtrash:
In my case the policy says: (between other funny wording): accidental damage, water damage etc.

Therefore, I personally will play same fair game as the sellers and/or manufacturers: if my I9300 would have SDS, semi-death (with download mode available only, showing perfectly that I'm on custom), then, I will "accidentally" will forget to remove the phone from driveaway while taking back with my JAG, or, alternatively, I will give my fishes brilliant opportunity to call Nemo.

First, there is nothing common with the warranty, they will just replace it or repair.

I have no idea about the lobbies in EU, and in my country, bu I always adjust my honesty to the second side of discussion.

O, did I mention that this is an add-on to my bank account, and I have the right to claim twice per year for the phone priced up to approx 1000EUR?

But, going back to the topic, EU law is binding in all EU countries. Furthermore, Samsung can put in the warranty the statement that: inserting the battery will void warranty. But - they HAVE to write as well: above does not affects your statutory rights.

And, they have to honor these rights. therefore if the country law states that the equipment is covered for 4 years - the seller will have to follow that.
[Galaxy S III General] odoto:
well, I wouldn't call it "same fair game" or "adjusted honesty", I'd simply call it insurance fraud, payed for by honest customers. It has nothing to do with getting back at Samsung or the vendor...

regarding the EU directive in question Samsung can do whatever they want, since it applies to _sellers_, not to manufacturers
[Galaxy S III General] spamtrash:
OK then, let's use same measure, and please explain to me what is the difference between (as you was keen to say) insurance fraud, and the warranty fraud by rooting the phone?

sorry, but in my insurance policy there is no such wording like: "except from intentional damage", where in the warranty it is clearly stated.

and of course this is contrary to your assumption from post #1, where you are mentioning custom roms, kernels etc. Wrong. If you have rooted the phone, your warranty is void, period.

If you're trying to hide it, it is a fraud, isn't it?

I definitely agree that Samsung have nothing to do with the phone. The purchase contract was made between the customer and the seller, therefore, seller is fully responsible for any equipment faults over the warranty period (which is much longer in UK, by the way).
[Galaxy S III General] odoto:
I have to say I partially agree. Handing in your phone for warranty, although you know you did something that definitely voided the warranty, could be named fraud as well. But I would argue that it is "more okay" than insurance fraud in some way. In case you knowingly killed your phone yourself (lets say you opened it up and intentionally damaged a component), you are a "bad person" if you try to get it repaired under warranty. BUT in case your rooted phone died because the manufacturer screwed up, like with the SDS, you are free to hand it in for warranty in my opinion.

The difference I see is, that in case of a rooted phone your warranty is voided by a technicality that is far from reality. IF the damage done isn't related to you installing custom software, you would be covered otherwise. The problem is that the warranty does not distinguished between cases where root/custom software was the problem and those where it wasn't. Arguably it just isn't possible do to that, or it is just to expensive to trace whether software was the problem or not.

So trying to get warranty despite that is okay in my eyes, because it is trying to "right" a "wrong".

Insurance on the other hand is not, you can't argue you are getting back at Samsung or the place where you bought the phone by getting money from the insurance company you don't deserve. It is not hurting Samsung or the vendors, but other people who need that insurance.

(And in case the vendor sold the insurance to you as well: still not hurting the vendor, they usually just sell insurance contracts of third-party insurance companies)

Damn, didn't mean to get into a lengthy discussion about insurance fraud :P
