[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Arkhaz:
Best bet for "stock" JB and keeping the rest?

Hi I'm new with android and this is my first post here, I would like to thank you for your support and if any of you more enlightened guys could help me, this is what I have:

Android version 4.0.3

HTC sense version 4.0

Software number 1.85.502.3 71 ORD

Kernel 3.0.8-01155-gca24d1e root@AMB030 #1 SMP PREEMPT

Baseband ver. 0.17.32.09.12_10.86.32.08L

Build number 1.85.502.3_R2 CL63811 release-keys

Unlocked Bootloader

SuperCID

S-Off

Hboot-1.09.0000

Radio 0.17.32.09.12

The thing is I'm looking for a stock JB which I understand there are only two compatible releases, that being Asian one and Telstra.

That being said, is it possible for me to keep AT&T ICS included keyboards and languages and not to mess with my radio and kernel, just change the OS and remove the remaining carrier crappy software?

I understand I have to make a recovery with TWRP, but then being S-off what would be the best bet to flash the ROM?

Many thanks in advance!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Your radio will stay the same, but the OS will be replaced. You can't keep the old kernel either, as it will be incompatible with JB. I think you are confused about what the OS is. If you upgrade to JB, you can't keep ICS.

Just pick a stock rooted or custom JB ROM from development. Put it on your SD card, and flash it. I don't know what your keyboard and language requirements are, and that may be better asked on the ROM thread (if the ROM has the language & keyboard you need), when you choose one you like.

If you want stock rooted, but minus the bloatware, you might look at CleanROM (or similar custom ROMs that are close to stock) as its very close to stock, just minus the bloat and with some performance optimizations. The Asian and Telstra stock ROMs don't have as much bloat as AT&T, but still have their share of it.

Hey all. Sorry if this was already been asked before but I couldn't find it anywhere. Not even on google search. It seems like no one ever tried it or something.

Well, my question is, is there a way to send and receive Gmail SMS on phone? There's no way to forward it and it doesn't show up on Gtalk either. I'm asking this because it has international SMS feature that has very low cost for other countries to reply.

Does anyone know any app that can forward this feature from Gmail chat to phone? Even tho my phone support flash and java, it . Is there a work around?

Thank you,

Hey everyone,

Just let you know that the Nexus 4 is now available in Canada :)

I can't add an adress because i'm new but there is the screenshot of it :)

So let's order it !! :D
[Nexus 4 General] milan03:
Could anyone from Kansas or Vegas confirm if Nexus 4 is successfully connecting to T-Mobile's LTE with a simple dialer tweak.

1. Dial *#*#4636#*#*

2. Choose Phone Information

3. Scroll down and change from WCDMA Preferred to LTE only or LTE/GSM auto

4. See if your status bar shows "4G"

5. Run some speedtest and post screenshots here :)

There are sporadic reports from different Samsung users that LTE is live in some areas of Kansas and Vegas. It would be great if someone with Nexus 4 could verify this.

Thanks! :good:
[Nexus 4 General] mayurolla:
I am wanting to know this information too!

[Nexus 4 General] kzoodroid:
Just because they have LTE now doesn't mean its on the correct band. It has to be band 4 AWS. There are about 5 cities in the US with that frequency which isn't a common one for AT&T to use.

[Nexus 4 General] Wisefire:
He is directing this to T-Mobile users in the areas. T-Mobile is launching LTE and utilizing the band 4 AWS.
[Nexus 4 General] kzoodroid:
Yea just saw that here sorry don't know why i didn't see the T-Mobile in the OP.

http://www.droiddog.com/android-blog/2013/01/t-mobile-lte-lights-up-in-kansas-city/

AT&T transfered a lot of its AWS spectrum to TMo last year. All the other threads on LTE were for AT&T as they were the only carrier with AWS LTE at the time.
[Nexus 4 General] jonas2378:
For clarification - I am testing the T-Mobile signal here in the KC and metro areas. Will be able to provide a more definitive answer tomorrow, but as of today I have zero signal when set to "lte only".

[Nexus 4 General] code65536:
Kansas City. I'm relatively close to downtown. Full bars on HSPA+. For the past week, I've been trying to see if I can get a LTE connection, but so far, no dice.

It looks like there is LTE connectivity in Oak Park Mall area of Kansas City. If anyone is near you could swing by and test it.

Thanks again!

Actually the EXACT location is "the parking lot of Burger King thats located on the corner of 95th Street and Quivira right by Oak Park Mall" in KC area.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TBacker:
I would love to just get rid of the stock notification toggles in favor of using any third party toggle apps.

Having to do SystemUI mods to completely customize the toggles is cumbersome and time consuming.

I imagine it can't be too hard - there are plenty of mods out to substitute specific third party apps. I just want to be able to choose which one I want from the market.

Hi,

My employer issued Samsung Note handhelds to employees pre-loaded with proprietary software.

Will the process of rooting the device cause that software to no longer function? I just want to be able to load some purchased apps but I don't have access to the original special apps written by my company. Would I be able to 'back up' everything and then reload after the root procedure?

Thank you,

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marilize-Legajuana:
Please, confirm this information.

First question

How I know, Galaxy S3 uses lithium-Ion technology battery.

This batteries types should be never fully discharged, because the life of battery shortened every time doing that, right?

And need to charge them every time it's possible, without waiting it goes below 30% or less?

Unlike Ni-Cd batteries, should be totally discharged to set them at full charge cycle again.

Another question

Battery capacity (for example Galaxy's S3 - 2100mAh), should be charged with max rate charger, about 2100mA or less?

If I buy another battery with capacity ~3000mAh, can I charge it with 3000mA charger or less?

In case of USB charging is about 1000-1200mA, but USB DC power supply is 12V, instead of standart wall charger, is it safe for everyday charge?

And last question

How critical to remove charger after battery fully charged. This question not about overnight charging, i know overnight is not good for battery, but what about 1-4 hours "overcharging"?

Thank you!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dennis_cu:
also curious about this since I just got my S3...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] russeini:
Actually i never worried abt battery problems since whatever happens u can always buy a new battery!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mputtr:
the first one is correct.

the 2nd one is based on the rules that the slower the charge, the better it is for the battery (ofcourse there's a balance to this. If it's too slow, you'll never be able to fully charge your battery in time, but if it's too fast, you will damage the battery little by little). On this, you should just stick with the standard 1000mA. it'll charge it just fine. You will be just as fine using the USB charge speed of 475 mA.

3rd Li-ion have an active circuit system that handles overcharging. In fact, it switches to trickle charging (extremely slow charging) to combat that. Don't worry too much about overcharging. The active circuit will help manage that "problem"
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marilize-Legajuana:
russeini, it's not about costs (unless your usage forces to buy new battery every 6 months), but proper operation of phone. Stability is very important for me, even if i feel a little decrease of performance, i will try to fix it / buy parts.

mputtr, thanks for your reply!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] se1000:
Question 1: Lithium-ion batteries do not have "memory" so they do not need to be fully drained. It's actually bad for the battery to fully discharge. Simply charge when it gets low. (<25%)

Question 2: You are confusing battery capacity (mAh) with current (mA). Think of this as battery capacity is the amount of water a cup can hold, and the current is how fast you are pouring. Regardless of battery size, the internal circuitry will limit the current drawn from a given charger up to a certain point. A 2000mA charger will not charge the SGS3 any faster than a 1000mA charger. Maximum current draw for the SGS3 is somewhere between 750mA and 1000mA. What's more important than the current rating is the quality of the charger itself. A good quality OEM Samsung, HTC, Apple, Motorola, or HP USB charger works best. FYI, USB 2.0 is 500mA, USB 3.0 900mA. All USB ports only output at 5V

Last question: It won't harm your battery, the phone does not overcharge, it will stop charging once the battery is full.

Suggestion: Use a quality charger, I suggest the Samsung 1A or Apple iPhone 1A chargers, and use a high quality USB cable with preferably 24awg (lower number is better) power leads. Plug it in every night and don't worry so much about the battery. It will last at least a year and since the SGS3 luckily has a removable battery, it can easily be replaced with a new one!

Nokia 1200ma charger

Hello,

I have 2 questions I would really appreciate if someone could assist with.

It's about a new charger I got- genuine Nokia 1200ma (5V) charger :

1. When charging I checked using 'Galaxy Charging Current' app the current value that is drained,

and it showed me around 500ma, instead of 1000ma max. Why is that?

2. The touchscreen gets messed up and almost doesn't work while charging. It doesn't bothers me much, but can it harm the phone?

Thanks in advance.

- Jerry

Dont use a nokia charger for samsung devices. Somewhat they are not compatible though it charges (but not at its best). I also experienced the touchscreen issues with my xperia sola, when i used another type of charger (not the stock sony). So i suppose use same brand for charging your s3.

I don't know what is "hijack threads". I just searched google for 'charging Galaxy S3', found this thread and replied.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lelinuxien52:
To save battery life, the best strategy is using the default Samsung charger voltage with a very very low intensity (some mA).

For all lithium batteries: less charging intensity is -> less battery's temperature is -> less battery damage BUT charging is very slow.

If you apply an high intensity (> 1A), the charging time is reduced but it damages the battery.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mputtr:
hijack means you using someone else's thread which talks about a different topic to ask your own questions that is not about the thread.

Is there a shortcut to run ACMEinstaller3 only to reset the partitions without having too go through all the fresh setup steps again (MoBoot, CMW, etc.) - like maybe run it with nothing in the CMinstall folder?
