This is because normal people went and got a developers device and want some of the crap features.

One of the main draws for the nexus is the longevity of the device. They will get updates long after OEM devices wont. Hell the nexus will get 5.0 with in a month of it becoming official. If this device gets it then it will most likely get it about a year after it is released.
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
The S3's one month and 12 days short of a year old and we've yet to see official 4.2. ^^
[Galaxy S III General] Robthevampire:
is there still no official date for 4.2 ?
[Galaxy S III General] zelendel:
Nope nothing official at the moment. It really depends alot on the carrier.
[Galaxy S III General] TigerCourage:
They are implementing S4 features. If they launch the 4.2.2 with S4 features then who will buy the S4? I'm sure we will get it after the official S4 launch.

The S3 got 4.1 Jelly Bean 3 months after release, no one can do it that fast except Google! I'm sure we will see Android 5 around September or October on our phones.
[Galaxy S III General] delsus:
There's never an official date, it just comes when you see an ota or kies or sammobiles update.
[Galaxy S III General] Destroyedbeauty:

Well, my S3 phone is so Un-Touchwized it just can be, thanks to the skilled developer behind the Ultima ROM for our Galaxy S3. Will never go back to stock Sammy ROM. Again.
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
The inevitable sluggishness and other downsides of TW will always be there, no matter what.
[Galaxy S III General] donalgodon:
They just think they want it.

Once they have it, they'll hate it like most of us do for all the same reasons.

99% of the "feature enhancements" are of no use to me.
[Galaxy S III General] zelendel:
Yup once again stole from Apple. full of gimics lmao
[Galaxy S III General] nhariamine:
Since android 5.0 needs at least a quad core processor, there must be something huge that google is about to unveil next month...
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Do you have the slightest shred of info backing these claims up?
[Galaxy S III General] nhariamine:
as always you buzz killer, did t i told you not to comment any of my freaking posts you damn ignorant. This is ur last warning before i file a restraining order from a moderator..
[Galaxy S III General] zelendel:
A moderator is watching this thread. Now I don't know what issues you to have but he asked a simple question and I was also wondering where the info came from.

Wayne Tech S-III
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Why do you act like this over a simple question? Don't make claims you cannot put up information for.

By all means, report me, complain about me. Zelendel is right here and saw that I didn't do anything wrong. You lashed out at me for no reason, just like you always do.
[Galaxy S III General] Destroyedbeauty:
How old are u? Actually? :screwy:
[Galaxy S III General] drakester09:
I was dyslexic, sorry. It's the S3.:D
[Galaxy S III General] soesie:
I'm afraid the the RAM is gonna be a problem. Probably TW will slow down the phone too much.

But I REALY hope i'm wrong :P
[Galaxy S III General] tmac31:
zRAM is coming for backup in 4.2 if it work good enough they can improve it later with 5.0

and people expecting to 5.0 will be better on RAM management. because only high end phones have 2gb RAM and google will always want that 5.0 can usable on more devices. 2 gb min required RAM for a "phone" is ridicilous i think.

now at s3 u can play a game needs 250 mb ram no problem but u cant open 25x10 mb mini apps android has problem with this it always ends that apps.

on my nexus 4 i have 100 mb free ram nearly always and doesnt really make insane difference you still cant open 2 big games if u dont restart your phone everyday.

s3 can open browser and nova 3 game in same time if u just restarted your phone but it can close nova 3 instant when u press home button too. its android's problem. i can launch 5 ram hungry games at nexus 4 but 2-3 day usage it can only run 1 too like s3 andrid never choose to end google's ****s at background if it can close your own.

[Galaxy S III General] youbakmaster:
I think thats a good news....!
[Galaxy S III General] negrobembon:
Just getting 4.2.2(if we get it) seems like a miracle to me
[Galaxy S III General] Ivyy111:
We WILL get 4.2.2, you can try the leaked version ;)
[Galaxy S III General] b-eock:
That's 4.2.1 buddy ;)
[Galaxy S III General] negrobembon:
Now that you mention that, we dont even have 4.2.1 oficially, less likely to me that they'll skip that to give us 4.2.2 and on top of that 5.0
[Galaxy S III General] drakester09:
Stop with the conspiracy,;) 4.2.2 is a small, bugfix patch on top of 4.2.1.

We will most likely get a 4.2.2 and then, several months ahead, a 5.0 (which could/will be the last update for S3).
[Galaxy S III General] leucrota:
There is no evidence even suggesting this. That would limit the Android 5 market so much It would be ridiculous.
[Galaxy S III General] zelendel:
It is not unheard of to be honest. Now I am waiting to see this official info but it would not surprise me in the least if this was the case.
[Galaxy S III General] bsamardzhiev:
You got only 100mb with 2gigs of ram? What's the difference because with cm i have 300-400mb free on my 1gb s3?
[Galaxy S III General] tmac31:
Its android its about free ram is wasted ram thing when phone just restarted it start with 1.1 gb free later it goes down when u keep using phone ut caches everything and its not s big deal nothing change with if you dont care about multutasking. But if you dont restart your phone always it goes down to 100 mb like s3 after 2 days..on s3 lmk is always active and clearing everything because 1 gb ram on nexus 4 it just dont start clearing until you reach 100 mb free and everything is cached not a big deal but still is a multitasking killer and im pretty sure android can fail with 4gb of ram too if it keeps this ram management.

So basically s3 starts with 400 mb free ram at stock rom for me and goes down to 100 mb free in 2 days nexus 4 starts with 1.1 gb free ram in 3 days more ram just extends this time requires to fill all ram its simple atm. You cant realy feel difference except 3-4 hours after fresh restart on 2gb phone they must change this at android 5
[Galaxy S III General] bsamardzhiev:
Ok it's clear now. Huh I was planning to get N4 because of the 2gigs of ram. Didn't want catch ups and redraws, but obviously after few days it's the same with N4..
[Galaxy S III General] tmac31:
Well launcher redraw is an samsung issue because they dont make launcher stay in memory so phone can give you more ram if needed you can just make it go away with using nova or another lancher that has stay in memory option you dont have to buy 1 with 2 gigs of ram
[Galaxy S III General] POLO_i780:
For me the difference is there, I have...well I had a GS3 I9300 with 1GB RAM and a mate of mine has a GS3 LTE I9305 with 2GB RAM and I can tell you now that it multitasked a lot better than my GS3, it never redraws the Homescreen and is consistently fast and smooth.

Even the GS2 which I'm using while I wait for my GS4, multitasks better than my GS3, I used them side by side before my GS3 broke, both running Android4.1.2, the GS3 was a lot smoother, faster and of course more power efficient than GS2, but the GS2 holds a lot more apps in RAM and NEVER redraws the Homescreen.
[Galaxy S III General] tmac31:
at my 1st message i said 1 gb extra ram of course do better multitasking but after 2 day it become same fail on multitasking. atleast im pretty sure its like that on my nexus 4 and my girlfriends note 2.note 2 has redraws too btw its just not too often as gs3 and its always there if you are using stock samsung rom and tw

if some samsung bring Zram like its own leak rom it will make multitasking better and if they dont mess up battery life it will be fresh blood for gs3

everything will be better but we ll wait and see if we stay on s3 and if i didnt read wrong at some place 4.2 will bring s3 to own ram management it uses same as note 2 because it has 2gb variants samsung made 1 ram management system for all gs3 s and it makes international gs3 fail because it uses ram like it has 2gb...
[Galaxy S III General] zelendel:
I have had both of the S3 in the last 3 months. (my carrier in the US uses the Euro versions of the devices.) To be honest I saw no diff in how then ran. TW will always eat up ram. Nothing we can really do about it.
[Galaxy S III General] tmac31:
ye like i said samsung dont let tw stay on ram for extra 50 mb free ram its there if u need it but if u dont need it , it just makes labuncher redraw it can be annoying i agree. (i use nova launcher to avoid redraw , and on nexus 4 too i think it works better than pure android too)

But samsung or android needs to fix this 1st for example when i play real racing 3 and quit game phone is using 350/832 mb ram and everything works fine like before i enter the game with 700/832 mb ram usage phone gives game to much ram but when i wanna multitask like i have 500 mb free ram it doesnt let me and starts closing my apps instead of cached ones and its not samsung s own fault im saying its there on nexus 4 too and it has 2gigs of ram they must change this if they wanna make android better on multitasking.

another example i can use 5 pages at browser and play video on youtube at same time if im using multiview of samsung. but if i dont and just multitask like normal (i mean browser stays at background and i go watch a video on youtube) it will 99% chance close the browser but if i force it not to close apps like on multiview it never, its still 1gigs of ram to handle browser and youtube but 2 different results its bigger problem unstable multitasking management sometimes it multitask like charm sometimes can open only 1 app..

Seems like we will get 4.3 and not 5.0.
[Galaxy S III General] negrobembon:
Thats the ball i've seen running lately
[Galaxy S III General] shoalinagent:
Phones flourish on xda once official support ends. Ive seen it with so many devices. Official or not, we will have android 5.0 and beyond. Heck even my old htc devices are keeping up with cyan 10 and aosp 4.2 etc.
[Galaxy S III General] negrobembon:
That i know, i meant that all people were expecting google to reveal 5.0 but some evidence i read somewhere states that 4.3 will be the next revealed version of android
[Galaxy S III General] negrobembon:
For what?
[Galaxy S III General] ballsofsteel:
I really hope android 5.0 or 4.3 will sort out memory management issues once and for all. The lmk concept is just flawed when caching rubbish apps into memory takes priority over keeping apps you are currently using open.

Sure android can do actual multitasking, but you cannot continue a game after you open 2 apps or resume after 2 hours. At least not with 1gb ram.
[Galaxy S III General] negrobembon:
I hope so too, multitasking on this phone sucks if you are on stock rom
[Galaxy S III General] usk1206:
Hope S3 will be updated to android 5.0. I'm really lookin forward to experiencin a great new rom.

Jelly bean really meets my expectation but can't stop hopin for a much more perfect rom

i kinda envy iphone users for their fancy animations on their iphones( i know we have launchers but...)

wish google add some animations

and also fix memory management logic
[Galaxy S III General] ballsofsteel:
You mean use logic in memory management . There's no logic in the current system
[Galaxy S III General] Geordie Lad:
Ram must be the only hurdle now at getting 1gb S3 much past 5.0.
[Galaxy S III General] arigius:
But the next would be 4.3?

[Galaxy S III General] negrobembon:
I find it hard to beleive that there wont be any 1gb ram 5.0 phone at all

If samsung doesnt release 5.0 for the s3 because of that, then that would be one lame-ass excuse
[Galaxy S III General] drakester09:
Same, on real project butter they look great! :highfive:
[Galaxy S III General] evertjr:
If google dont improve [MUCH] android memory management I'll serious switch to iOS. Seriously, 2gb of ram needed to a PHONE? It's getting ridiculous, I know android is much more robust than iOS but I could fu*** run Windows 7 and play current gen games with that amount of ram.

iPhone 4 have what? 1/4 of a galaxy s3 specs? And yet it can switch between apps in a much faster and smooth way, I know its not "true multitasking" but in the end it works the same way if not better.

We need quality software, not more cpu cores and ram.
[Galaxy S III General] testid00000:
I feel 5.0 it will be gd
[Galaxy S III General] Mutley-BR:
Too...

With a smooth multitasking in our S3!

[]´s!
[Galaxy S III General] i2oLLCaGe:
Seems like good news. We will have to wait and see if the source can be reliable and the important thing here I think is when are these upgrades being released. I'm expecting 4.2.2 to be released during this month... lets wait and see.
[Galaxy S III General] ballsofsteel:
Lol finally someone who agrees with me that the iPhone 4 can 'multitask' better than the s3 with half the ram thanks to the genius of iOS' multitasking philosophy
[Galaxy S III General] nodstuff:
But it isn't actually multitasking on iOS.

Comparing multitasking on iOS to true multitasking on android is like comparing apples and oranges.
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
iOS doesn't have true multitasking. End of.
[Galaxy S III General] ballsofsteel:
The only real practical applications of multitasking I've seen is the multiwindow function of the s3, as well as actually doing things simultaneously (tb+dropbox+facebook chat heads etc) which iphones cannot accomplish but other than that the s3 is dreadful in so called multitasking.

The fact is the suspension of apps in iOS, while not true multitasking, actually works because the RAM is used properly and the process is aided with Screenshots so the user can pick up from where they left off instead of having their app killed off when you open a 4th one or leave your phone or for an extended period of time. At least that happened more often with an iPhone 4 than the GS3.
[Galaxy S III General] negrobembon:
Neither does the S3

Now nexus devices, those have true smartphone multitasking
[Galaxy S III General] b-eock:
Incorrect. Both The S3 and Nexus devices have true multitasking. The S3 might not have the best multitasking, but it can and you can use Multi-Window.
[Galaxy S III General] sidthegreatest:
S3 sucks at multitasking. Forget switching between apps, even the home screen has to be redrawn each time.

The Nexus devices do have brilliant multitasking.
[Galaxy S III General] testadeferro:
I´m not really sure what they did with s3 but I can tell you that I have a s2 and both with stock roms 4.1.2 very similar builds and the s2 manages ram much better, and faster. In processing s3 is bit faster then the s2 but when you run same aplications or more then one, the s2 is strangely faster then the s3. Don´t ask me for scientific explanation, lol, but this is fact!
[Galaxy S III General] b-eock:
Never once had a home screen redraw

Not possible. I have both an S2 and 3, S3 trumps it in everything but RAM management. I will say that it does have worst ram management, but it is still faster and has much better battery life.
[Galaxy S III General] testadeferro:
Agree with you. But try to run 3 or for apps at same time. Not games. And you see the smoothness of s2. And battery life its not so different. Maybe half hour screen time. I use to have 5.30 h on s3 and 5 on s2 by wifi on, phone, web browsing, and no gaming.
[Galaxy S III General] negrobembon:
What annoys me about my s3 is that im playing a game and have respond to a whatsapp message for example

I open up the task switcher, reply to the message, go back to game, game restarted

Same with the browser and other apps, some times it works as intended but most of the time apps reload from scratch

And im always ocd about ram so i dont go crazy with apps(specially ram consuming ones)

Something about touchwiz drags this otherwise great phone down

I'm not trying to blow your mind here just having some fun.

I replaced the dot nodpi folder with a baseball.

Changing the background is beyond my limited ability.

Instructions:

1. [optional] Using a root file manager, go to System/App and rename NoiseField.apk to NoiseField.bak [so you can switch back when/if you like]

2. Using a root file manager Copy/Paste BBNoiseField.apk and rename to NoiseField.apk then change permissions [un-check Group/Write]

3. Reboot and Apply in live wallpaper.

This is as easy as it gets.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] fredfty:
greetings,

have a new unit xperia tx- now suffering from sleep of death, as usual, take the battery out. have not install any apps at all, no micro sd card. Just normal use of the phone. No wifi/bluetooth (off). Happened lots of time so sent it to an authorized service centre. All that was done was a re-flash. All remains the same - android ice cream with the firmware 7.0.A.3.212, latest firmware not out yet in my country.

Everything was ok, for 3 days only, then it came back - Sleep Of Death....

something's wrong with the phone? send it back?

Need you help.

Thanks.

You are second one ever to face SOD issue :( just send it back and get a replacement asap and i am sure u will get a model Free from bugs ;) Since tx is kinda a perfect mobo
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] fredfty:
thanks....sent back when there is an SOD, so they receive it while in SOD in order to believe it this time (sent the second time) in the end they replaced a motherboard for me, cannot "verify" it's a healthy new motherboard though.

after few days, update to JB and new FW as no apps installed, still clean. Installed so much apps like battery save, systems info, etc etc until I saw for the first time a DOS (denial of sleep!) before that, running JB few weeks, no apps it was ok. But the DOS did not hang, just press the power button it is ok. DOS - no display, but can see the lcd on the edge lite up.

proceed to uninstall all rarely used apps....still monitoring....I like the phone, but all the while the SOD, DOS...it's starting to annoy me....:(

Send it back with a feedback of replacing using a faulty part.

Hello,

Firstly please use the search feature before starting a new thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2206157&highlight=sod

I was also facing SOD on my TX but i think it was linked to the microSD card. I removed it and till now no SODs. I was using 16gb sdhc class 10. As from what i understood, with xperia phones class 4 is the best to be used.

Since you don't have an microSD card installed.....

Did you try a PC companion repair? or you can try flashing another FTF file (another region) through flashtool. Tutorials can be found in the All in One thread in Q & A

Well... much of it is a bit 'obvious' and also much here has been written before elsewhere, arguably better... but still, if it's offered guidance to those just embarking on the Android journey... then that's got to be a good thing.
