[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] andrawer:
I am really enjoying the S3...some might find that odd coming from the awesome NOTE 2 (4 months of use) and the original NOTE since this time last year...and the INFUSE prior to that:D. I knew I was switching so I trained myself to quit using the s-pen.

For the summer I wanted a smaller and lighter smartphone than the N2 for all the outdoor stuff I'll be doing...thus I found a s3 in excellent condition for a good price and made a couple hundred $ selling my Note2.

This fall I'll probably pick up a N4 or whatever else is available from Samsung.

I do wish I could find the CLEANROM for my s3 (ATT)...I already tried a number of AOSP/KP, etc ROMS and they don't fit my fancy...I really can't stand the notification/switches/etc on 4.2+ stuff...much prefer the notification and status switches on the stock TW ROMS. I especially didn't like the ROM that flashed the crude UNDERWEAR whitey tighties...about made me barf, no thanks :):)):victory::eek:

So, I just rooted my new S3 and disable/freeze all the ATT/Samsung stuff I don't like. Seems to work well.

I knew battery life would be an issue on the S3 but I think I got it mastered and am happy with it (using tricks from my Infuse days..such as GreenPower battery saver and Battery Stats Plus to spot issues).

so since the S3 is kinda outdated I still find it great and look forward to using it the next 6 months or so!!! I see why it was such a great seller!:laugh:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] GODSRAGE:
I really like my S3 and will probably keep it until the new note comes around. The battery life is fantastic right now though on Hyperdrive ROM.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dima470:
My s3 was heating a bit after rooting, but undervolting really helped. Now I'm running Task's AOKP and the device is running flawlessly.

Coming from a phone that was hopeless from the beginning (htc amaze) I still can't get over how good everything works on it, and will be hanging onto it for a while. Considering phones look to be hitting a plateau in terms of innovation, there's no reason to ditch it anytime soon
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bgoodrick:
1. Signal: Not too sure since I don't travel much, but I don't drop calls or anything.

2. Battery life: If I remember right, the GS3 had one of the highest battery life ratings when it came out. Average users will be fine, heavy users will just need an extra battery or charger as with any smartphone.

3. Screen readability: If you're in direct sunlight, you can't see a thing. If you're in the shade, it's fine.

4. Touchwiz: I personally LOVE the look of the touchwiz interface. The biggest thing for me being the styling of the icons, like messaging, email (plus counter), phone, etc...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] VTMongoose:
I'm completely happy with my SGS3. This is the first phone I've ever owned where I didn't already want a new one after 3 months of using it. The developers have also worked very hard to bring some absolutely fantastic AOSP ROMs to this phone that really unleash its speed and add great utility...and we don't have to give up LTE like the Nexus folks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] blackmoor2000:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] lukesjeans:
I loved it until my power button become stuck. I could live with it until it started hard rebooting every 5 seconds until I could figure how to un_jam the button. If note3 was out I'd have gotten it. All in all, before the button, it was a great phone.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] hbt15:
Hi All,

Lost all data on SD card on ONE-XL from accidental factory reset (wife did it).

Question - I don't want to root the phone (believe JBean 3.14 can't anyway)....all i want is to unlock bootloader and install TWRP so can mount SD as a drive and run PC recovery software.

Is this possible? Or is fact it can't be rooted also going to prevent installation of TWRP also?

Then, what is best method to install TWRP? I've found the Evita all-in-one tool but that mentions running the xfactor exploit which i believe is for root only?

Cheers for the help guys. New to this one the One-XL even though been rooting Desires, DHD's and Sensations for years.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
What carrier? xfactor is only for att.

Use all in one to unlock boot loader then install twrp. Easy as pie.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] hbt15:
It's a Telstra Australian version. Don't usually post noob questions like this here but things seem a bit more painful since the good old DHD days.

Thanks though. Will do and see how i go! Fingers crossed the unlock doesn't overwrite the SD partition so i can still get all my files back!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
It shouldn't touch the SD. But if there is anything important or sentimental (like photos) you should back them up on your computer, just to be safe.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] InflatedTitan:
Back them up... I personally think rooting and unlocking is the way to go. Even if you don't want a fancy-smancy custom rom, you could install a near stock JB rom that's super smooth and fast, without any bloat and optimized. Try it and see man, the toolkit makes things very easy for first timers ;)

i made an in app purchase and noticed another the same one on my google wallet which i didnt buy.. i was trying to find why did that happem and saw that it can happen on rooted android devices and ya..my phone is rooted.. does anyone know how to stop this from happening? should i re install google play?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sttovo:
My thoughts....

1- Reflash the ROM and then gapps

2- Do a complete system wipe and reflash ROM and gapps

3- Buy the app from the Google Play website and the Google Play app in your phone will download it or you can download manually.

Hi

I'm a long time lurker but first time poster.

Overview:

Tried to run 4.0.4 on my LG and it bricked so I went to this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1942836

I followed the instructions to the letter and everything seemed to work. It flashed to 26% then turned off (as expected) so I popped it in Download Mode again and it went all the way to 100% where it stays for a while and then is says "Fail (490 seconds)".

If I turn on the phone loads up in CWM and it gives me the option to reboot so I reboot & this is where the problem comes in.

First thing it says is "not enough space, clean up memory" and runs into setting up as a new phone. I get all the way through setting it up (including wifi networks) and after I input my google info it takes me back to wifi networks when it's stuck. No matter what I press, I can't get off that screen. If I restart the phone the cycle repeats.

I tried the whole process again, everything happened the same way except when it loads and I get to setup as a new phone and I get the "not enough space, clean up memory" message I just hit the home button. I'm now on the home screen but nothing is working. It says no applications when I open the application button. Internal memory card says 0.00gb

I'm at a complete loss and i've done a load of searches to no avail.

Please help me.

Thanks

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ephillips26:
Hello and thank you in advance to all. I have a t989,

I run AOKP Galaxysbean V_12

KKO Kernel Governor is Smartass V2 and I/O is deadline

UVLI4 Radio

Problem: I know for a fact this is not a hardware problem, because I have went through 3 phone replacements because of stupidity and learning how to root phone, flash roms, yada, yada, etc. And with each of these phones this persistent problem occurs where all of the sudden at any given time, I will go to make a call and nothing. I can't hear the ring of another person's number, my voicemail, etc. The person does get the call, and when they answer, I still cannot hear them, and they cannot hear me.

Resolution: Ways I have fixed this before are with the first and second phone I flashed over a new radio, (previously UVLE1, UVLH1, 4G Blaze) and it fixed the calling upon reboot. Also I had flashed custom roms, or restored previous Nandroid backups and it worked again. (Little annoying doing this every 3 or 4 days. Though today, this happened with my newest phone, and flashing a radio did not work nor did restoring a Nandroid. This time I had to flash a new custom rom, then it worked. Then I flashed back over the Nandroid and it still works as of now.

Question: Could this be because of the kernel? Or the rom?

Me and my wife have the same issues. We both have GS2s but hers is stock unrooted and mine is running CM10.1. Been dealing with Tmobile for months without success, swapping out cut down on how often its happening but did not fix it. Tmobile is stumped, very annoyed by this issue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] iburnhearts:
Not sure what's causing the problem but it seems jellybean 4.2 has fixed this issue. Try flashing AOKP 4.2 and make sure noise suppression is enabled and call this number 9143388802. The third option is an echo test and fourth option let's you record a playback to listen to how you sound. If you sound normal and people are still complaining then its their phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mookiexl:
I've come to the conclusion that its a rom problem because for me it happens with only certain roms. Ive tried all the rom kernel combinations and different radios but the only fix I've found is to retire that particular rom, no matter how good it is. Smoothness aint gonna get the cops or the fireman to your house. The only roms that have worked for me as far as call quality are, for some reason all of TheLastSidekick's Kangs, Darkside evolution 3, Sky Jellybean, Rushing's Bulletproof,and both of the 10.1 variants we have. The strange thing is I can't recall any call quality issue's when flashing roms from the Skyrocket thread. For instance I get the worst call quality ever using Jedi Jelly, but I'm crystal clear using Embryo from the Skyrockets thread, so much so I wont even try our version of the same rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bonetweeter122:
I blame T-Mobile network. This would happen to me all the way back to my old flip phones. Every other call or so would do this. I've always put up with it cuz I like T-Mobile customer service.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mookiexl:
I wouldn't go that far because I never had a problem on the Sensation no matter what rom I was using. I blame sammy

I actually just realized this problem persisted when I would turn on the phone and try to make a phone call to quickly. After becoming aware of this. I turned the phone off and allowed it to fully boot back up, and it worked again.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ephillips26:
I found out with my problem. It was when I tried to make a call to soon. It would do this. As long as I have let the phone load for a minute or two after boot, I haven't had any more problems. My problem may be different from yours tho. Hope this helps.

Ok... I need help. I am such a novice at this stuff but I find myself so very interested in the world of root, and the freedom that it brings. Basically my entire knowledge of computers..... Is Android, and worse than that, I'm self taught... Please don't run!! I'm a super quick study. Ok now to my problem, I started off rooting my T 989 surprisingly enough with absolutely no issues at all, or at least that I could tell. Ran beautiful and super smooth, then I went app hoarding and installed A fonts package installer, opened it, it installed about 85 prcnt. done and crashed. Never made it back. The novice, and the dumbass in me, FREAKED! and did an uneducated, no experience attempt to make recovery....... 4 times:eek: needless to say that I COMPLETELY wiped the entire phone. I had a friend bless me and show me a thing or two and I successfully managed to flash one of your Roms to it and I must tell you that I supremely thankful to all who n these projects.... MAD RESPECT to all of you. So the one issue I am clearly having is everyone I speak to says I sound like I'm on speaker or just can't generally hear me. Been through the settings a couple of times and I am pretty sure that I have them correct, and I have not touched anything that I wasn't sure about, and I definitely have completely refrained from pimpin my kernel. I really just need someone who can spend a little time setting me straight on some unfamiliars. Also just have a few stupid questions that won't be the least bit stupid after I get them answered. Any time any one can lend would be greatly appreciated and someone's good deed for the day. Thanks for allowing me to vent guy's

And no, issue definitely is not exclusive to happening on reboot, mine has been that way ever since flashing, and on every call. But I can hear the other end perfectly......
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ephillips26:
Just leave me some thanks. Under your phone settings, there should be a noise surrpression box. Make sure it is check marked. Every time I do that people have said I sound better. What do you want to do? Change it back to custom rom? P.S. ALWAYS MAKE A NANDROID BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING.. ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS!.. Google will solve many questions too. If nothing helps or you need to be walked through some processes, message me.

But I can not start the TeamWin recovery.

After the "Boot screen" of TeamWin it crashs, start new, and shows permanently the Samsung lettering.

I asked bcoz what i have heard from people here that the local market shops are selling repacked Chinese refurbished phones not original Samsung refurbished in same packing like the new one and are claiming that the phone is the new Samsung i9100.

After installing Google Play on the Play-less Visual Land Prestige 7L tablet via a script, the tablet now has a functional Play app, but I'm unable to use any SD storage: every time I insert an SD card, a notification says the SD card is now safe to eject. Going into Settings->Storage always crashes and closes the settings instantly, usually with a quick flash of a message that "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped", although once I saw instead a message about android.process.media. I've seen a few posts about that around the 'net, which recommend clearing data and cache for Media Storage, and sometimes a few other apps, but I've tried that. I've even tried going into recovery, wiping the data and cache, and restoring factory. But that doesn't seem to actually reset everything, as some installed apps, and the error, are not system apps and persist after a wipe.

I'm able to connect via adb, but aside from the trace (attached) that happens every time Settings -> Storage is opened, I don't see anything obviously wrong in the filesystem. The error is related to StorageManagement.java and StatFS.

I've tried everything I can think of and was hoping someone could give me a clue what to try next.
