Guys...any news about custom rom for our device???

[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] H377:
There's an option "Use only 2G Networks" Doesn't it solve this problem?
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] roycejp:
If this option is selected, will it still use 3g for data ? I have a 3g data plan.
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] H377:
I haven't tired but I think so.... And the other interesitng thing is that you can set this option for both SIM Cards. And as default it is checked for SIM2. Will give it a try... Will disable it for SIM2 so it should use 3G. We will see what will happen.

Edit: Only Edge on SIM2.

No, it will then use only 2g network.

[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] H377:
Okay will give it a try....
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] --gta--:
lol yes it has 3g, but the problem with russian firmware is, you can not lock the phone to 3g, you can have it on auto or locked to 2g only. and when on auto mode and 3g signal is weaker, 2g will take over so you will have slow internet.

wondering, if portuguese firmware has the option to lock connection to 3G... I'm on mobile net and my traffic limit is 30 GB in month, so I don't want to download it just to test, it's too big and will use most of my 1 GB per day limit lol
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] roycejp:
So isn't that a smart thing to do?

Switching to 2g when no 3g is not present better than having no internet at all? :confused:
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] --gta--:
It will switch also, if 2g signal is stronger, not only when 3g does not exist at all. Example, you get 1 bar of 3g signal and 4 bars for 2g, it will switch you to 2g, while 3g still would work ok

Re: [Q]New forums for Samsung galaxy grand GT-I19082

As I noted in an earlier post, it is sad that we need to desperately wait to root even a high end device like grand or s3 to make it useful.

Without root:

No installing hi end games (though the phone hardware supports it) because you can't use external SD for it.

No mass storage capability (why? It is such s basic function)

No Lan file access (Samba).

Sad that Android devices are crippled without users hacking/rooting them.

For me, I just need the above functionality.

Give me these, and I won't bother about rooting my phone.

ya you can but you should be careful while removing! if you remove a app which is associated with another app then the other don't work so it is better to remove it earlier! ;)

Re: [Q]New forums for Samsung galaxy grand GT-I9082

There seems to be 3 major things which some of you guys need to pay attention to and realize;

1) Stop trying to rush developers! They're working on things which will help each and every one of you, yet you still manage to criticize them for taking too long?

How about you learn how to do it yourself and see if you can manage to get it done any quicker. Also, developers owe you nothing so don't have the cheek to come onto a development site and tell a developer to hurry up, just because you're too impatient.

2) You're lucky this thread is even still open. As this is a request thread for a new device forum to be added, this request should be posted in the relevant thread in the About XDA sub-forum.

3) Even if you do go and make this request in the correct place, the admins won't add a forum for this device unless it has great development support. That means that not only will this phone need to keep the current developers, it would also need more great developers backing it aswell.

Well, I removed more than 100 apks...

Just look at my list and at your apks, if you see that your apk is not on the list then it means that it s safe to remove.

Note that some google apks, like for exemple gmail or gtalk, work along googleservice framework apk and google login apk so don t delete those 2 apks if you want to use gmail or gtalk.

And don t forget to back up ALL your system apks (they are in the system/app folder) in case you want to reinstall an apk later...

I tried it and it works.

Only issues I faced was:

1. I checked 'On Boot' but it doesn't swap on boot. I have to tap the 'swap' button after every boot.

2. In (Stock) task Manager, both SDCards show around 4Gb (This is a fake indication).

3. After swap, some apps gave errors at the time of updating from Playstore ("Package is invalid" etc). I uninstalled & downloaded them again. Maybe deleting Data / Cache for those apps, might also have worked.

Besides this the external was working as internal perfectly.

At the time of swap, I had around 400Mb free in internal storage. After swap I doenloaded Dead Trigger, NFS MW, and the latest XXAC8 Rom as well.

So I confirm it is working.

Play Store app problem

Form past couple of days I’m experiencing some strange problem with Play store app.

That i cannot download apps via WIFI, when I try to download any app, it stays long at downloading status and download never completes.

I'm sure that WIFI connectivity is ok because browsing internet through chrome and downloading via chrome browser in SGG, i do not see any issues.

But when i download apps through 3G in play store i do not see such issues, could anyone suggest why the problem is with WIFI and not with 3G.

I tried clearing cache and data and reinstalled play store but the issue still persists.

Any suggestions on this are appreciated.

Launching Playstore when connected on wifi seems to be good, only when I try to download..it stays long and never finishes.

Tried all means and workarounds such as clearing cache, freezing and unfreezing..uninstalling playstore..and installing back....restoring APN settings.restarting device n times etc

none of process solved the issue,

The problem might appear small...as I can install apps on other means...but this problem is like real pain in but...:crying:
