Fyi ..samung usa has been wrong a couple of times.. and all these teases and samsung hype about how it looks and whats going to be in it wont be out so easily in my opinion.. all those hype being so secretive for nothing amd just for another s3 look??:confused:

.....
[Galaxy S III General] Turbotab:
I'd prefer the GS3 over that rectangle style, IMO.

It would be cool if Samsung unveiled the GS4, only to show a phone that looks just like a GS3, cue boos, sobs etc from the crowd, then all of sudden the S4 erupts aliens style out of the body of the S3!
[Galaxy S III General] expertzero1:
lol . Bruce Lee comes out from a coffin that is projected holding a gs4
[Galaxy S III General] Chillz88:
Lol:p

I seriously think samsungs playing us by putting up a mockup of s3.. that mockup pic doesnt even have a grill, an led or even sensor or a front cam( saw it on one tech site when they tried to tweak that render).. its an s3 with smoke beside it.. :rolleyes:

.....
[Galaxy S III General] mchu6am4:
Hope it doesn't look too similar to s3...want it to look a little different at least!
[Galaxy S III General] kenyw:
I won't be too bothered if it looks like the S3, then I won't feel like upgrading from my S3 for a bit longer :P

Then again, N4, Xperia Z and HTC One all present good alternatives for 2013.

I look forward to seeing if this will be the first phone with that new big.LITTLE Octa chip though.

[Galaxy S III General] Kernelponik:
The back is ugly compared to the S3.... Only the screen looks a bit bigger.

I hope it won't have this look :)
[Galaxy S III General] daleski75:
At least you can change the back cover thankfully that one looks far to blingy for my liking.

I found video of this SGS4: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=gfzom-RdrwI

Also Eldar Murtazin tweetet yesterday that "One of sgs4 variants leaked :)" - https://twitter.com/eldarmurtazin/status/311104798005018624
[Galaxy S III General] daleski75:
Posted the same video a moment ago ;)
[Galaxy S III General] :
Something interesting in the youtube video - the settings screen is all white, which is not typical of Samsung with AMOLED displays.

So, as usual some inferences - it's using LCD display for this variant, or they have done something with these PHOLED displays!
[Galaxy S III General] Turbotab:
Eldar Murtazin is more often wrong than right, some of the rubbish he posted about the GS3 was epic, ceramic case, 7mm thickness.
[Galaxy S III General] skivnit:
Anyone know what's up with the iPad commercial in the background? Lol. Anyway I stand by my previous comment. This GS3s won't do it for me. And I'm pretty sure it's the final product. The white background of the ui is consistent with previous leaked screenshots. Why would someone go through all the trouble to fake everything from the casing to the UI to the build.prop ? I do hope this is just a dummy phone but the evidence keeps mounting up

[Galaxy S III General] daleski75:
If it is it's not too bad just more of the same and at least the internals are going to be top notch.
[Galaxy S III General] -A-P-M-:
If this design turn out to be real, then I will skip SGS4. I know that hardware is most important, but there are other phones with great hardware too and premium design. For example, HTC One is very fast and smooth, has probably the best display, great speakers and great built quality with premium design. I expect SGS4 to be the best on benchmarks, but this doesn't mean a lot in normal usage.
[Galaxy S III General] sub1n:
Galaxy S4...EPIC FAIL!!

Epic failure it would be shud they release the phone with the design we are seeing now.

Godamn! what is samsung thinking? design doesnt matters!!...public cry doesnt matters??

Why would you buy a S4 which looks similar to so many of the phones right from budget segment to the flagship segment.

Understood, hardware is bettter and more. But I dont see the hardware making much of an impact other than the 2gb ram for multtasking.

Buy this phone and people will think you have aother variant of S3 or a Grand or duos.

Then you would say...'no man, its S4" designed again for humans.:silly:

LOL.:
[Galaxy S III General] daleski75:
The htc one does have a lot going for it but it's the small quirks like 2 buttons, vertical app drawer etc which defy the android way of doing things aside from that its a definite competitor to the S IV imho.

Hello!

I have quite an irritating problem with my cars radio, whenever I am using an app like Waze or even if I simply unlock the phone's screen whilst connected to Bluetooth my cars radio stops, plays the alert/sound and doesn't resume playing the radio like after a phone call :crying:

Does anyone know of a trick or an app that would fix this, it becomes quite irritating especially when driving and Waze alerts me to a problem or says turn or something that I have to manually change the source back to FM1 :mad:

My Stuff

Car: Polo Vivo (Unique to South Africa if I'm not mistaken, but is just the old polo body with current engine & few luxuries taken out)

Radio: No name brand, but supplied with car by VW, when ending calls it automatically goes back to the station I was listening to but not with anything else!!!

Phone: Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 unlocked (is law in SA) running v 4.1.1

Carrier: Cell C (not that this matters I'm sure)

I have been looking for a solution pretty much everywhere, so far this forum seems to have the most knowledgeable members regarding this sort of issue

I have attached a picture of the radio, a screen shot of the Bluetooth properties & the info screen from my phone

Thanks in advance for any help! :)

If u don't want get any crashes and fc just flash that ROM
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] f-r:
The answer os more complex than you'd think. There isn't one settings file, there are many. In addition, every ROM has it's own UI options and chances are that as a result the "hybrid" ROM won't function properly.

[HTC One VX] kavajohn:
I just bought one of these off ebay locked to AT&T. I've tried three different unlock services and can't get this phone unlocked. First two said they could not even do it. The last one gave me an unlock code which did not work. They informed me that they get codes directly from the HTC supplier and if that code did not work I would be unable to unlock this phone ever.

I know modding this phone is at its early stages but does anyone think I'll be able to do an unlock similar to the One S in the future? or better yet anyone have a reccomendation for an unlock service. Any advice would be appreciated, I'd hate to resell it over something so basic.
[HTC One VX] ilostchild:
if 2 vendors said they could not unlock it, its a good possible that it cant be unlocked, most vendors get them directly from HTC or At&t,

That method works with this phone partially , i say that cause i can do the strings n -8/ etc etc etc, and i see my IMEI, but i dont see the *Unlock_code*

could be possible i got the phone already unlock and reason why it doesnt show, or they didnt but the unlock code in the phone this time..

it would be nice to see others try and see if they get results, at least if others do see the *unlock code*
[HTC One VX] Replicatorz:
http://cell-code-shop.com

I did buy a code from them, they gave it to me, i never used it so i can't say for a fact this will work, but it depends on if its worth $15 to try.
[HTC One VX] Night_Slayer:
Have you tried the htc dev way?
[HTC One VX] jmz:

[HTC One VX] ilostchild:

[HTC One VX] Night_Slayer:
Opps lol
[HTC One VX] kavajohn:
Thanks to all that responded. I'm going to try and give AT&T a call and see if I can get the code from them. I saw in the One X forum some reported success. If that doesn't work then I'll be patient and start getting this phone ready for new roms in development.

I currently have a Galaxy s 4G and in comparison modding this HTC seems more complicated than I remember compared to my Samsung.

I'm new to HTC, so in which order do I need to do these things? Thanks again

[HTC One VX] mattplo:
I'm actually curious about the best root method for this phone as well.

Currently the is one in the Android Development section in this sub forum that reads "Depracated".

I just have failed to see an alternative.
[HTC One VX] kavajohn:
Thanks for pointing that thread out must have missed it. Any way, it was easy and it worked.
[HTC One VX] kavajohn:
I tried to see if I could use the the One S method, like you I don't see the unlock code, but I do see the IMEI. One thing I noticed is that the date 01/26/13 is listed in two places. Do you see that as well? Isn't that the date it becomes illegal to unlock your phone?
[HTC One VX] ilostchild:
Just means the unlock code was in the phone this time, and that don't matter now unlocking phones is legal once again.
[HTC One VX] kavajohn:
I'm not sure I follow, I am still locked to AT&T. There does not appear to be an unlock code within that block like the One S. In regards to the date 01/26/13, I see that in the results when I run the command in terminal emulator. I think its odd that date in particular is included in the block. The legal part of unlocking the phone does not concern me.
[HTC One VX] kavajohn:
Update!!!

After several failed attempts with different unlock services I finally got my phone unlocked. I'm not sure why none of the codes worked but thanks to CID and S-Off threads and also the config.dat files sieempi creates I was able to do it. Thanks for everyone's input!
[HTC One VX] allrockedout:

If anyone is having issues getting the unlock code just contact me. I have done 2 and this one is a keeper. Giving it a test ride. It might be slower than other services but so far 2 of 2.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] (O.o):
Hi guys,

I'm trying to remove an annoying ad from a .xap file that has no paid version. The ad renders the app incredibly difficult to use. I contacted the dev requesting a paid version and he hasn't responded so I just took to decompiling the .xap.

I edited it with a zip utility and decompiled the .dlls to remove all traces of Microsoft.Advertising.Mobile.dll and Microsoft.Advertising.Mobile.UI.dll. Then I edited the AppManifest.xaml to remove reference calls to these modules so it wouldn't break on start. However, when I start it I get some errors. Is there anything I overlooked?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] art0605:
I tried searching for the answer/ solution but I don't know how to phrase it.

So here goes: Whenever I install a CM, AOSP, or AOKP ROM (basically anything other than touchwiz), my phone memory does a weird thing where it only has the default folders, which are empty, or it makes a root "0" folder and puts all my data (android data, pictures, etc) in there. But it's not like it's deleting the data; the memory usage is still the same, 5ish gigs. But I can't access it, because like I said, it only shows the default folders without anything in them.

Please help

The aosp ROMs are 4.2.2, it has a different directory structure.

Your data from /storage/sdcard0 is still there, it's in /data/media.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JBeXX:
Aosp bases handle the file paths different than TW. I think it's an android 4.2.x thing. That is why there is a flash able zip posted with some of the aosp ROMs for downgrading back to tw to fix the folders. If you are running aosp now you're old internal stuff might be in data/media
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] art0605:
Awesome! I found it through Root Explorer. Is there a way to go to that directory on a PC?

Hey guys,

I about to jump from TW to AOSP, and I am glad I stumbled upon this thread before I did. I just backed up the contents of my internal "phone" storage and the "card" storage (as labeled in Android File Transfer) to my computer. I believe this is only the contents of /storage/sdcard0 and /storage/extSdCard. I am thinking about flashing CarbonRom soon. I will make a backup in TWRP before I flash. If I happen to not like AOSP and want to come back to TW (I am currently on Beans 10) using the backup I made, how would I go about doing that? If I just restore from the backup, will that take care of these file management issues that are listed in the thread?

I just want to make sure that if I miss TW, then I can come back without problems.

There is a downgrade folder zip in a couple of the aosp threads(one is linked below) that you would flash after flashing or restoring a tw ROM.

[Samsung Galaxy 551 Callisto] kronflux:
So I decided to try a custom rom on my GT-I5510M - I followed the available directions which implied I needed to flash a clean stock rom before proceeding.

I accidentally flashed a rom for the GT-I5510(No "M"), which is for europe(I'm in canada) and now no matter what rom I use, it keeps saying roaming, and randomly stops working or receiving texts. if you put it into airplane mode or restart it, it works for a while, then stops working again randomly.

From what I understand, this is due to the AMSS file which is part of the stock roms, which apparently defines the radio rules/standards/frequencies/etc

I tried to downgrade the phone using ODIN back to the stock rom(which is froyo - the rom I flashed was gingerbread) but the phone failed to boot(and even seemed mostly bricked. it was difficult to get back into download mode)

So now I'm stuck with a rom that isn't for my phone, which thinks its in a different country.

Any ideas on how I can downgrade to froyo again, or find an AMSS which is compatible with gingerbread and my phone?
[Samsung Galaxy 551 Callisto] kronflux:
TLDR:

Basically, I flashed a rom with the wrong AMSS. Now I can't get back to a rom with the proper AMSS. and the only available AMSS for my country is for froyo. whereas the rom I'm stuck with is Gingerbread - apparently the file is incompatible between versions.

I need to either figure out how to get the phone back to froyo, or get a compatible gingerbread AMSS for my country.

I'm guessing because it is such an old android build. What the hell do I do to get a custom recovery on these? All the sites I have found that host amon ra 1.7 do not have the file any more.

Hey guys. I just received two Duzign valor cases (blue and red). These are seriously amazing in terms of look and feel for thin cases. The valor serious had a soft matte finish. The look is similar to seido surface colors. My cases are cut out perfectly without any random sharp edges.

I have two elago cases (hard plastic smooth white and soft matte black) as well and the Duzign feel and look way better. The elago cases are way more slippery esp the matte black (it also has bad cutting with two random sharp edges at the top showing that it wasn't perfectly cut).

I also own uag navigator, cruzerlite tpu, mercury tpu, fosman kickstand hb tpu, and cimo tpu. I just ordered the Spigen wallet posted in the threads.
