Yea you right... I'm not in contract anymore and don't get phones from Verizon. I don't want to lose my unlimited 4g.

I'm looking at the RAZR MAXX HD now not sure on the DNA. I do like my RAZR MAXX now and it looks like the HD is a little better bigger battery and bigger screen.

I'm like you I don't really care about having an unlocked bootloader. Just root is good to freeze unwanted apps.

I will keep the SIII as a Wifi toy I feel that all it's good for.

Hi,

Flashed this, but want to go back to the previous one. Any idea where I can find the previous one? I found a list of modems somewhere, but nothing with VRBLK3 in it.

Thanks

I'll share my experiences with radios. I was on VRBLK3, and flashed the leaked VRBMA2. I was on that without any noticeable benefits or disadvantages. However, when I flashed VRBMB1, I started to have worse call quality. Sometimes there would be slight "crackling", and felt the overall radio was worse than VRBLK3. Twice, it dropped my call with full service. I flashed back to VRBLK3 and made a phone call right after talking on the phone with MB1, and didn't have any of those negative impacts that MB1 was giving me. Weird, I know. I'm sure it is area specific, but I live in a metro area with typically great cell service everywhere.

---------- Post added at 09:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:15 AM ----------

Just for reference, I was on MB1 since 4.1.2 dropped, so I had enough time to evaluate the MB1 radio.

I'm not sure, really. I spend most of my days in a very marginal signal area. I can usually keep 1 bar of 4G, but it often goes down to 1X or 3G. 3G is next to worthless for some reason. 1X is better than 3G. I need to test them both for a few days, and see if there's really any difference.

I haven't noticed any difference in stronger signal areas.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kendive:
Yea I have pretty much giving up on the SIII and gone back to my RAZR MAXX

I am looking for another phone and it's between the RAZR MAXX HD and the HTC DNA

There Radios are way better than the SIII (I have tested and proven it)

and the battery is just awesome with the RAZR MAXX and I read that the HD is just even better.

Probably gonna get the MAXX HD screen is about the same size as the SIII
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] usmaak:
My SIII will be with me until May of 2014. That's when my contract comes up for renewal. The reason that I am in a marginal area all day is that I work in the basement of a windowless concrete and brick building in the middle of a corn field. As marginal as my signal is, it is still way better than sprint. I always got zero bars with them.

I like the SIII. when the razr max hd came out, I was still within my two month best buy return period. I checked out the razr and though it was certainly a nice phone with great build quality, I decided to stay with the SIII. I checked signal strength in the store. My SIII was 85dBm, and the razr was 82dBm. So it was a marginal difference. Perhaps that matters more in weak signal areas.

The main reason I am trying out the radios is because my wife is on an uprooted SIII, and keeps getting nagged to update. I want to make sure she won't have any unforeseen problems, because once she updates, she can't go back. :)

Sometime I think this all started when I flashed a custom rom... Can't remember having issues when I was just rooted and on the stock rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] usmaak:
Maybe. When I was on the Evo, I was a flashaholic. I tried every single ROM that came out. I ended up on one that was basically stock, with some useless crap stripped out. For the most part, it was fine. All of the other ones that I tried had one problem or another. But with the Evo, it was all about pushing the boundaries of what the phone was capable of. ROMs from other HTC phones. ROMs for versions of Android that the Evo would never see, and couldn't really handle. ROMs that were stripped bare, because the Evo had a very small amount of free memory.

CleanROM is my first custom ROM. Up until yesterday, I was running rooted stock. So far so good though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] craigbailey1986:
Having all 3 phones as we speak I can tell you that all phones pretty much have the same reception. Though Motorola has better overall call quality. But sitting with each phone side by side the dBm is roughly identical. I will say Samsung doesn't do as good of a job as the other 2 in low reception areas. But at about 95% none of them dropped calls with samsung hanging a few times where it didn't drop the call but I couldn't hear the caller on the other end. Overall I came back to my gs3 because I missed flashing. If I didn't flash so much then the DNA wins hands down.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kendive:
Yea I was a Flashoholic back with the First 4G phone came out the HTC Tbolt. I think I flashed a new ROM every week. I did not start flashing again until I got the SIII but Honestly I don't care to flash custom ROMS anymore and am happy with being stock rooted and just freeze apps that are not needed.

The only thing that keeps me from getting the HTC DNA is the fact you can put an ext SD card. So that's why I picked the RAZR MAXX HD

I don't get dropped calls on the SIII I just get issues where I have 2 bars and 3G but it won't even let me send a text. Says something like network not avab... That's very annoying

I know there is no perfect phone but I also know for a fact when I using the RAZR MAX and I zero issues when otherwise I would with the SIII.

I wish the SIII would work better because I do like the phone, but it don't and that bothers me.

I also know this is an known issue because there is alot out on the web on the SIII and signal issues.

Maybe I will just unroot it put it back to stock and start over reroot and no custom roms and see how it goes...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kendive:
Well I just odin the SIII back to stock unrooted and I will do some testing.

If it still has poor service I guess I will not keep it.

I need a phone that works well all around.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dweezle:
I googled my way onto this thread because I was still hopeful that there was some software answer to the lame reception on the Galaxy S3, i535. Like a lot of you I think the S3 has a lot going for it, EXCEPT for it's reception problem. I live in a marginal reception area and am frequently on the road in the beautiful U.S. boonies. That is where the S3 really flops. I have an idea that the issue is not so much with the S3's ability to receive and send, but with the way it handles being shuttled to a stronger LTE tower, in places where there is not solid LTE coverage. I've read, that a few months ago, S3 owners were using an app called "phoneinfo" that would let you select to receive 3G only. That worked for a while. After the upgrade to Jellybean, some people were getting stuck on 3G and not able to get back to 4G, LTE. Phoneinfo is no longer on Google Play (dumb name!). When I am at home I can watch my signal flipping between LTE, EVDO_A, and eHRPD. I have gotten obsessed with getting the S3 to be a better phone but, short of getting an engineering degree, I am starting to think it isn't going to happen.

[General Questions and Answers] dinoc:
I have a Nexus right now, great phone, but the audio quality is not so great.

So I was wondering what is the best smart phone at the moment from an audio quality point of view , chipset and others ?

How are the latest phones like HTC One or Xperia Z performing ? (I guess for the Galaxy S4 there is no feedback yet).
[General Questions and Answers] Lifehacker7:
HTC One has something that they call boom sound and also the beats audio.

So i presume it's gonna have exceptionally good audio quality.

I don't think samsung would have made any big improvements in the audio section with the s4.

I am going for my job interview tomorrow to a store comparable or better than Best Buy. I am applying for product specialist and I was wondering for some tips. I will have my resume with me there, of course. I'll elaborate on this topic, and I'll add more to this post later
[Off-topic] Thats OK:
Look your best:

Haircut

Formal as appropriate look like you are ready to do the job you are interviewing for (without dressing down)

Phone in your pocket...don't even be seen looking at your phone at all

Courteous "please and thank you" go a long way

Introduce yourself

Say only what is relevant to the position don't go on about past accomplishments

Have a pen and note paper handy

Look the interviewer in the eye when speaking to them

Lighthearted humor can be used when the interview is winding down if interviewer is friendly (your call some people are tough to read)

Above all show confidence with respect

Just a few tips from an old interviewer (me)

These are a few things I always appreciated when I talked with people wanting a position in my work area.

Best of luck there...
[Off-topic] Kobrax:
Turn up early don't have bad breath

With all behavioural questions make the answer about you what you can do.

Talk about past accomplishments!! That is how you demonstrate what you have done and therefore what you can bring to the table. But always focus on your party in achievements. What you did not your colleagues (otherwise they will want to interview them).

Strong hand shake

Eye contact

Have a bottle of water to cure dry mouth

Research role and company

Always have questions.

Close the interview!! Important!!! "do you have any reservations about employing me"

Have an answer in case they do

[Off-topic] deathnotice01:
as a human resource development and management graduate,

all i can say is that you should just be confident and learn what you are going to say,

anything on your resume can be used against you so be prepared on all aspects,

know the job, company and environment,

do SWOT (strength, weakness, opportunities, traits) assessment prior to engaging in an interview,

tell them you like bacon.
[Off-topic] Sleepy!:
Just be confident, be friendly, punctual and ready to admit your mistakes.

It goes without saying, don't lie about anything. But always remember the difference between lies and the incomplete truth.

Be formally dressed and use a cologne or deo in moderate quantities. Some people favor clean shaven interviewees. So you might wanna do that.

If you do only one thing, regardless of anything else, it'll at least double your chances.

Don't look confident.

BE confident.

BELIEVE IN YOURSELF, so that you can inspire the interviewer to believe in you. ;)

this is stupid but my phones update.zips have only META-INF , System & zImage or boot.img & when i extract the tar i get cache.rfs,datafs.rfs,factoryfs,rfs,logo.png,modem.bin,& zImage

system.ext4.tar

so how do i get only META-INF & System & boot or zImage from there

PS: I m a noob
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shut_down:
By using Android kitchen and system.ext4.tar with it. It will unpack it for you. You need to use guide of it, read it carefully. You do not need boot, it is kernel (if not put in ROM, previous one will remain in phone).

And do not be a noob, ne newbie. Read, read, search, read... ;)

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shut_down:
It will work to get files you need. And after that just use our updater-script (and whole META-inf folder).

Also, as far as bricking the secure element in Google wallet, that is no longer the case from what I've read, as the info is now stored in the cloud. And Bigdaddy is correct-the unsupported device message at the top of the screen has to do with the fact that you are rooted. Google Wallet will still work. If you are getting a message when you initially try to open wallet that says the version isn't supported on your phone yet, you just need to find an updated version to install.

For a theme that I'm working on, I would like to trigger a widget (UCCW and DVR) by using a swipe action from the side. Also, I would like to specify a certain hotspot where that swipe gesture triggers the widget and a second swipe should hide it again.

I think it would be to much to ask for to have the way the widget appears to be animated.
