[Galaxy S 4 General] megagodx:
Better camera, much better processor, superior battery life, higher, more better looking resolution display - to add to that, bigger display on the same size body, as well as nifty software features like S Health and the camera.

All refaces of flagships are "incremental" - the only difference here is the unrealistically high astronomical expectations for a device which has been sensationalized. LETS be real; the term "innovative" gets thrown around loosely, too. The last innovative thing we have seen in phones was probably when they gained web, messaging and MP3 playing functionality on a mobile handset that was just utilized for making calls at the time.

Everything we see will just be evolutionary, not revolutionary, unless the product itself is drastically changed from the form we know it to be. But then again, it will be a whole new product that would obsolete the smartphone itself, if that ever happened. Companies like to use the term "innovate" in their marketing as a tool to capture customers. We as tech savvy consumers on these kind of sites should know better than to get riled up over this kind of fervor. It's a good phone for what it is. It's not supposed to be some God send or some second coming.

I swear I've seen an option to wake a device before using the volume buttons. I'm at least looking for that if anyone knows.

Plus, I'm looking for a quick, easy way to change between allowing the home hardware button to wake the device also.

For the most part, I just want it to not be able to wake the device, but in some cases, I want to be able to enable it.

Vagelis,

How does the software work? I downloaded it but don't want to install crap on my XDA. Is there a page to describe the use and functions? I've read some of the files in the ZIP file but nothing seems to say how it works? Does it backup to a file for restoring later or does it sync to Outlook like the email Inbox?

thanks!

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] karanmirchandani96:
Guys i m selling my i9003 i have learnt very much from this device about firmware custom Rom etc

But sorry to say bye ....Can any body tell me which phone should i buy .....Samsung galaxy SIII or Samsung Note 2?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] juanfpo96:
I would go for Note 2 without doubt. At similar prices (around 50-100$ diference) the Note 2 is much comfortable to use it with two hands, but Galaxy S3 is neither good on one or both hands (I hope this changes with s4)

Sincerely I will go for the HTC One (or One X+ although is a bit old). Only because of the materials, and the grip.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] simratcs:
Yes definately go fot Galaxy Note 2.

or spend more and go for Galaxy S 4

cuz one simply doesnt go for an outdated phone :p
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] dewasathya:
I think it's not a bright idea to choose between the 2 phone 'cus they both have the same problem when you use custom ROM. Check the team Hacksung wiki for the problems. If you like flashing, go to Sony phones (Xperia Z or ZL)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] karanmirchandani96:
I just want better display..no laggy user interface...and most important it should get further updates.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] simratcs:
Then buy a Nexus :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kkrraazzyy:
Hey go for s4 or xperia z it will surely have good dev support
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] karanmirchandani96:
Actually i want to buy tomorrow only and xperia z price will fall like hell and i cant wait for s4
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] samisax:
I bought the S3. It's a great phone and I have no regrets. It seems big at first coming from the SL, but 2 days later, it just fits perfectly in the hand and the size is about as big as is comfortable for one-handed use. I use my S3 with one hand all the time.

The Note 2 seems too big. But I have never owned one.

As for the UX, the S3 is unbelievably snappy. It never lags and the screen is BEAUTIFUL.

I am using the stock ROM because it really is better than CyanogenMod. Samsung really made a beautiful TouchWiz experience on the S3. I flashed CM10.1 and I felt like I was missing out on the great features Samsung put in the S3, so I went back to stock. Vanilla android seems too empty for such a powerful phone. TouchWiz makes sense.

You can wait for the S4, but I think the S3 isn't going to lose any attention anytime soon for being such a beast of a phone. Few S3 owners are going to upgrade to the S4. S4 buyers will probably be S1 and S2 owners as well as owners of other android phones. S3 to S4 isn't a significant enough upgrade for the investment. The S3 won't lose dev support, neither Samsung support. It's getting JB 4.2.1 shortly after the release of S4 and there's already a leaked firmware, but the current official ROM is 4.1.2.

PS: The S3 forum is a wild place with a horrible atmosphere. Since I bought my S3, I still visit the SL forum frequently and enjoy the energy here. Cheers! :)

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Alvarro:
NOTE 2 is bigger, but u have to think if this is an advantage for you (maybe small hands :fingers-crossed:, or u find hard to keep it in ur jeans' pockets...). But i find NOTE 2 not very expensive and it has better performance than S3
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] samisax:
So, what did you end up buying?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] karanmirchandani96:
Galaxy s3...made for humans ;)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] samisax:
Welcome aboard, buddy. :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Erahgon:
I went from the SL to the S3 too. Don't regret it one bit! Welcome to the club man.

Those forums aren't as bad as I've seen some get, however, the atmosphere over here is great. Check out the S3's Indian owner's thread if you want an atmosphere like this.

Tip: try the Perseus kernel and play around with it a bit.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SilverStone641:
Hey all, the headphone jack on my Note has been getting progressively worse. Most times i can rotate the male side of the plug to get a stereo signal. Just yesterday, it broke so as to only play mono audio out of the left channel.

My question is, has anyone ever tried replacing the jack on the note motherboard? Does anyone know if it's a surface mount or through hole soldered? How about a place to source the part?

Please note, i am doing my due diligence and searching, but i also want to get the real-world opinions of anyone that's tried this level of repair. I'll still be looking for the answers to the above questions on my own, but any help you guys can render would be most appreciated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] johnus:
I've had to replace mine twice, because Samsung considers it "physical damage" and won't cover it under the warranty. They are using a really low quality headphone jack. It's a small board the includes both the jack and the earpiece speaker. It's held on with a screw and adhesive. There's how-to videos on YouTube that will show you how to remove it. I got my replacement parts for about $20 from a cell phone repair store on eBay (sorry, I don't have a link). No soldering involved, it's only attached by a ribbon that's easily removed.

started to enter recovery phase and run webos doctor and got the low battery message and now I can not connect with tablet from webos doctor, novacom or novaterm.

any ideas?

Charge the battery for a long while. It wont run the webOS doctor until the battery has a decent amount of power

can get into twrp or cwm. twrp I can see the partions but none of them are populated.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geomonroe:
reinstalled windows 7. used the 32bit disc. reinstalled nova term and it looked as though novaterm could see the tablet.

still need to figurre out why webos doctor 3.0.0 is behaving differently than webos doctor 3.0.5.

ok just downloaded here at work and 3.0.0. worked just the way it should and im running the latest java so maybe it has something to do with windows 7.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chicle_11:
I used windows 7 with no problem. You have to make sure you have a full charge. Depending on how much the battery has run down, you might have to charge it 24 hrs +.

On that guide, there's a good work around, if you're having trouble with novaterm. Page 12.

OK will get left charging over night, will get back to it tonight, thanks

I'm looking for a way to get CM 10.1 on an SCH-i705 (Tab 2, 7" from Verizon). I haven't bought the device yet but I don't want to stop using CM 10.1 which I use on my WiFi only model. Any way to do this? I can't find instructions on it anywhere. Oh, I wouldn't want to loose LTE support in the process. Having to deal with TouchWiz or loosing 4G to get CM 10.1 would both be non-starters.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MIrokux1337x:
As the title states, I had to factory reset my S2. It was because I was giving it to my step dad after getting a new phone, I decided to wipe it for him, not considering I had rooted it already.

My current dillema would be that the phone gets stuck on an unpassable "Samsung Galaxy S II" splash screen when the phone turns on.

Does anyone have any suggestions, fixes, or general help?

I much appreciate it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] lilbigdude1:
Doing a full wipe shouldn't cause it to get stuck at the logo. Try and supply a little more detailed info. Also boot into recovery and reflash what ever ROM
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MIrokux1337x:
Well, it started happening when factory reset it.

I had flashed it, and put the rom on it or what ever, and then every the reset it does that.

At first, with a different battery, I had it on an infinite battery charging loop where It would power on the LED, say the battery is charging, and it would only become warm and not hold a charge.

I thought it was the battery, so I replaced it and now it gets stuck on a infinite logo boot splash. I have to keep trying to turn it on and off to get the splash to show more often.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] lilbigdude1:
What ROM? What kernel? And to be clear this is a sgh-i777 gs2?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Shawn:
See if you can enter download mode. If so, use the back to stock guide that's stickied.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MIrokux1337x:
I cannot enter download mode. Holding Volume down and the power button only shows the splash again, and then it stays on a black screen.

In regaurds to the Kernal and Rom, I do not remember.It was the most popular ones I think, for what that's worth lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] lilbigdude1:
OK....not to sound terse....but you haven't provided any info. ie...phone make and model, ROM and kernel There are several popular ROMs, it depends on your personal preference. A little safe advice is to search, read read and reread ....the stickies are a great source of information.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
This is somewhat difficult to address, mostly because you don't remember what custom firmware you had put on it, and because you did not give a detailed description of what caused the problem (at least not detailed enough anyway.)

The stock package that you flashed from the back to stock guide is missing bootloaders. The first thing to try is: Go to the Download Repository (link in my sig) and get the full stock distribution and flash that. See if that works.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MIrokux1337x:
Which of those should I be downloading?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
I'd suggest you try flashing the I777UCKH7-CL503881 Stock Binaries. This is the original 2.3.4 Gingerbread that came with the phone when it first came out. See if that flash will go all the way through and boot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] WarEagleUS:
Possible same type of issue and need to cohijack this thread.

OK so let me start off with, great site. I have read a ton of information but this is the only thread in my searches that I feel (and I could be wrong) is about 100% on with my issue.

First: Siyah 4.3.3 (Latest) Kernel

ROM; SHOstock3 v2.5.9

Issues:

Today I decided to encrypt my device while also doing a sim pin lock. Of course I shouldn't have messed with it but we had just finished discussing encryption, cryptography, and securing mobile devices in my Cryptography and Hashing Algorithm MSIT class. Well so I did that today and it went fine. When I did the pin for my sim lock it was a 4 pin number. Well later on I went to unlock it and it wouldn't take it in the PUK saying I needed an 8 number pin. Well I didn't create an 8 number pin just a 4 number one. After trying multiple combinations I sim locked my phone and had to go to AT&T to get a new one (thank goodness my phone actually went back to the stock 4.0.3 update I had on there originally) Well I tried to revert back to SHOstock3 v2.5.9 and it kept asking for my encryption password. I put the right password in and it wouldn't take it. So I tried another password and it looked like it accepted it, went the cool yin/yang purple fish symbol then rebooted again and now it is stuck at the Samsung Galaxy S2 white letter splash screen. It doesn't go black at all and just stays on there. I have taken out the sim card, battery, and microSD card and tried several methods (3 button combo, 2 button combo, 1 button with USB plugged into computer, OneClick Unbrick Software ((doesn't work for some reason in Win 7x64 and Win 8x64 it doesn't do the drivers even though I have them installed and I Cannot get to recovery or download mode))) and no luck. I cannot get to download mode that I know of unless that actually is where I can select (with a warning) to download a custom OS or push the down arrow to reboot. Well I am stuck in that or the splash screen and I cannot get out of it or fix anything. It seems the password wasn't correct, the encryption deleted all the files (or whatever it said), and I am now in limbo.

I do know that when I get to (what I assume) may actually be download mode??? that it says ODIN (I am using MobilOdin Lite) and it says Samsung OS on it (I believe that is what it said).

Any help is greatly appreciated it. While in that mode my computer doesn't see the phone, using the OneClick I cannot load any drivers for the phone using the Zardig or whatever it is, or anything like that. I may be totally missing something easy on the boards to fix this issue but it has been driving me nuts! Any help is appreciated.

Apologies to the OP and if I am in the wrong or out of place or line I apologize and please let me know. Feel free to email me if need be.

Thanks.

Eagle.

All I remember about what I did was I think it was CyangenMod, it was ICS, because everytime I booted the phone, the start logo was a purple ellipse with ICS text in it, it used apolo music and had TouchWiz, I dont think I did custom binaries, my download mode says Samsung Official, And the phone worked fine until I factory reset the phone. That is litterally what happen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
I've never used CyanogenMod, except to try it out for a few days when ICS first appeared, so I'm not very familiar with the problems that it can cause. I have seen numerous instances of people reporting some variety of soft brick problem after using CM over the past year+. I don't usually read the threads about problems with CM either. Therefore, this may be more difficult to trouble shoot. Maybe someone with more experience with CM can jump in and help.

First, you need to determine whether the problem is in the phone or in some other part of the system. So try to eliminate other possible sources of the problem, such as: use a different usb cable, different port on your computer, a different computer, etc. Any of these external things that could cause a flash to fail.

If you're sure that the problem is in the phone, then you should probably try flashing just individual parts of the firmware, such as just the kernel, etc.

---------- Post added at 09:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:33 AM ----------

The first thing to try is to perform a wipe data/factory reset from recovery. Since you are encrypted, you may get a password dialog. If so, enter the wrong number continuously until you have gone through the dialog, I think it is 5 times, and then it should let the phone reset. See if that clears things up for you.

Btw, your problem is not similar to the op.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] WarEagleUS:
True it really isn't now that I have looked at it. It is impossible for me to do that again as it is indeed stuck and all I can do is have it hooked up to the comp and have it do the up for upgrade to custom OS or down for restart, or it sits at the splash screen. I cannot ADB it or anything as it just won't recognize by the oneclick jar fix or Android SDK so I really am at a loss for how to proceed. I did try a factory reset before when I was in the original 4.0.4 ICS that AT&T upgraded my phone too but when I went through a clean wipe and reinstalled SHOstock3 2.5.9 it gave me the password dialog box. I did it 10 times and now (it did the restart) it just sits at the splash screen. I have left my battery unplugged since I posted this earlier this morning so I Am about to try that. I could start my own thread so as not to hijack this one if that is preferable. I just tried searching for similar matches on here but nothing dead nuts. If someone knows something closely related that worked, I am open to trying anything.
