[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] x10user2011:
so the same error occurred, black screen, so i go into recovery and just wipe cache and dalvik then reboot?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
didnt you already just flash the rom?

---------- Post added at 05:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:39 PM ----------

if you've already flashed the rom/gapps, wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache. then reboot.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] x10user2011:
yeah I tried that, it still didn't work. it just boots SAMSUNG, then no boot animation and black screen. I can go back into recovery though. Is there a way to flash a rom without using recovery? (how do i use the toolkit, odin, or ADB?)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
do you get an error message or did everything install without a problem? which rom is it?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] x10user2011:
no error message, success image. and i tried AOKP, revolt, and jellybeer
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
just to double check, you do have an i747 and you did download roms for your i747, correct? which carrier?

if you've got the right downloads, i would try flashing in recovery once more via these steps:

Select Wipe data/factory reset

Select Wipe Cache

Select Advanced and Wipe Dalvik Cache

Select Mounts and Storage and format /system

Go back out to the main recovery screen and choose the "install .zip from external SD card" option

Flash gapps, select "install .zip from SD Card" again and locate/install the downloaded gapps file

Wipe data again

Wipe cache

Reboot system. It will take several minutes to load so be patient

if this doesnt work, you could flash stock via odin
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] x10user2011:
wait, just flash gapps no rom? and would several minutes on black screen be normal too cause i dont usually get that part

I just want to double check, you said flash gapps but didn't mention flash rom, so JUST flash gapps?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
yes. sorry. flash rom. then flash gapps, then continue with the rest of the steps. i want to see if this will get you past the blank screen
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] x10user2011:
trying now, I will give it 5 minutes.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] x10user2011:
OH MY EFFING GOD, IT WORKED, MAN YOU'RE THE BIGGEST LIFE SAVER I WAS ONE SECOND FROM FLASHING STOCK YOU SAVED MY LIFE MAN THANK YOU SO MUCH!

how did those steps work? like how did you know they would work, could you troubleshoot what my problem was?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
:laugh: glad it got you up and running! if i was you, i would let it boot up, then sit for 10 minutes. then reboot. at some point tonight i would go back into recovery and make a backup to hold on to.

the steps i showed you are proven. although every situation does not allow for this fix, these steps are THE way of flashing information. your device was still getting snagged on something. we cleared that issue and reinstalled your OS. check out the link in my signature. its a guide that will show you the best ways to modify your device.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] x10user2011:
Thank you so much! I definitely will
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Bigbabyjesus:
I just had the same thing with being told I dont have root access, it's because you don't have anything on there for an OS so there's avidly no root folder to have root access to.

On your computer download a Rom. You can check if you have access through adb to your recovery file system through terminal by typing: adb devices.

Now type adb shell mountsd and this should hopefully Mount your sd if not pull it out and manually add the files. If it did work just drag and drop the rom to the root of the sd. Then install zip from external sd.

Which are in your opinion as a Samsung S5660 Gio owner: - the Best Music Player & Music ID Apps, Best Weather App and Best Graphic Games [maybe something 3D;) ]

For Gio?!

I have for the moment Shazam Encore for music ID but it can't identify classical music [ i'm weird ha ;) ]. Angry Birds Space as game. Used to have Power Amp for music but i'm searching for something better.

For Weather Forecast i havent yet found the best app. Used to have Weather Bug, but it was not so impresive for me. Next i tried a weather app from Galaxy SIII, moded by a XDA member for Gio, but it did not got installed in my ROM for some unknown reason.

What is your take on SoundHound: - good - bad - so and so

Also i use taptalk for forums on Android, but it cant find http://forum.softpedia.com when i put it in the search bar. Comes up with no result. Can you find softpedia with your own forum posting apps?!

All serious replies are welcomed.

Best music player: i usually use rom included with dsp manager as equaliser..but poweramp has best sound quality,ttpod has best graphic with internal lyrics feature....

Best music id: soundhound is the best and also trackid from sony is a good idea...

Games: unfortunately i dont play games...but generally gio is weak for games...

I do the same on my other Samsung because it has a better player even if it's not an android :laugh: but on Gio because the sound is very low, only with te headset and Dolby 5.1 effect is better.

Soundhound only this week i discovered it. Now i have Need For Speed Shift on the phone, and i am trying to put it on the tablet with 4.0.4 ICS also since this morning. You need to download an aditional 91 MB first time so you can play it after. Got another version on NFS shift "cache" and put it on the tablet but when i want to play, i get the white colour over the cars and enviroment so i cant play it. Dont know why this is happening.

But it keeps telling me that it didnt downloaded anything and to retry.

I tried over the 3G connection and WiFi keeps repeating the same message.

Where can i download this Trackid from sony?!
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Druidul:
Thanks. Do i need the pro version of this DSP manager. And where can i get it?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] MH-Droid:

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imeem:
Sorry if this is the wrong place but:

What's the difference between the S-Voice from the S4 and Google Now?

I watched sum comparison videos on youtube, but they seem a little bit inaccurate. For example, it said that "google voice" can't open apps, but it can on my Nexus 4.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Foas:
S voice is Samsung's own personal assistant developed for Galaxy devices . I guess it has been used in GS3, Note 2 and GS4 as well.

Google Now is vast new concept started by Google. It's more than just a personal assistant. It's like improved version of Google Voice..

for ex. if you are entering any highway, GN will warn about traffic

you are entering into a tube station, GN will alert you about the next trains lined up..

Google voice can certainly open apps.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richardlibeau:
Google now is better .S voice sucks that's the difference. Half the time s voice doesn't function right or gets s##t wrong that you ask for.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x102x96x:
S-Voice is like another apps on Samsung Device that begins with "S", and i prefer to put S as Silly except Samsung

Silly apps that u can find all of them for free in play store but samsung preinstall them on galaxies device!!! on Android OS that it has its own preinstalled apps......................!

of course Google Now is better.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CNexus:
Ok, this is turning into a fanboys sort of thread.

Back to the OPs question:

Essentially, theyre the same thing. Its like iOS' Siri versus Google Now, theyre both designed to do the same things but by different companies

And S-Voice is part of a proprietary framework called Touchwiz, so it can only be installed on devices running a Touchwiz ROM. Google now on the other hand, relies on no underlying framework and so could be installed on any Android device, as long as the Android version supports it
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imeem:
thx for the reply. The reason i ask this question is i installed S Voice on my Nexus 4 from here: http://www.sammobile.com/2013/03/26/samsung-galaxy-s-4s-s-voice-apk-now-available-to-download/

Is there any reason to have both? I just downloaded it for fun.

With further testing, it seems like the Google now can't open sum apps. Such as PPSSPP, CloudOn, Office Suite, and GTA Vice City. While S voice.apk from the S4 can do this and can do stuff like "turn off wifi" and "turn on bluetooth".
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CNexus:
Not really, just use whichever is best for what you do, no point in really having 2 of the same sort of utility app

And obviously one will have more features than the other, it just depends on which features are most important to the user

Question, did the s-voice install properly and isnt giving you any force close issues? Strange because I was sure it would rely on the Touchwiz framework
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imeem:
Nope. It installed properly. It only crashes when i go to language & input , select samsung for voice recognizer, and then press voice search.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CNexus:
Interesting....thanks, gonna check it out now!

It would seem that it would rely on the TW framework since its an assistant sort of app...

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarryH_GEG:
I used it for a day then got the network connection error also. Samsung (actually Vlingo/Nuance) reads the incoming device ID and blocks the connection if it's a mismatch with the device ID the app's intended to work with. Same thing happened when people were using bootleg copies of the SGS3's S Voice APK before it was released.

As for S Voice vs. Google Now I use S Voice more. To send a text message for example, Google Now opens up the recipient from the address book but you can't dictate the message, at least not from within Google Now. Same thing with e-mail. Dialing's also kind of clunky where if there are multiple options for your request you have to pick one manually. S Voice also repeats the number back before dialing where Google Now just dials and can miss digits you dictate pretty easily. Using a BT headset you can pretty much completely accomplish things hands free with S Voice while quite a few require a second manual action with Google Now.

Here are some examples

If you're in an app like the browser you also can't get Google Now to launch from the menu key because it's now serving the open application and doesn't recognize the "long press" command to open Google Now. Some people have disabled S Voice and remapped the home key to either Google Search or Voice Dialer. S Voice allows you to post to FB and Twitter too. Also, a lot of Google Now's neatest features (flight departure, package shipping, etc.) require you to use Gmail because Google's servers scrape your messages looking for pertinent data. I don't use Gmail and don't like the idea of Google's servers searching my data, even with my permission so to anyone not exclusively on Gmail certain feature don't mean very much.

Voice controls are also tied to S Voice. I use them pretty frequently; especially with the camera, music player, and to launch apps from the lock screen by voice.

I played with Google Now for a short time when I got my N2 so if it's improved or I'm being too hard on it someone speak up.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imeem:
i think my S voice stopped working, says no network connection
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarryH_GEG:
It's being blocked because the device ID from the APK you downloaded doesn't match the device ID the server's reading from the actual device.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barondebxl:
I love Samsung devices but I can't stand S voice. Unless there has been MAJOR improvement over the S3's/Note2 S voice I will still dislike it. First thing I do when I set up my Galaxy phones is disable it and get rid of the home button delay.

I think google now is better, faster, much more accurate and much more unique ( S voice is a clear copy of Siri).

Yup. HTC Speak is on its way as well.

Many times i find myself away from a charger (hiking or fishing) in the middle of nowhere, and I don't know what took me so long to get something like this:

PowerGen PGMPP6000 6000mAh External Battery Pack (w/Imbedded Micro Cable) 1Amp Output- Black

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008TXCMFQ/ref=cm_sw_r_an_am_ap_am_us?ie=UTF8

There are many kinds, but this one iin particular has a built in micro usb cable (next to the usb port), so no need to carry any extra usb cables. You can charge 2 devices at once also. It compatible with the hox, they actually have pictures of the hox connected to it in the product description, not that it matters but i thought it was cool. And also it was the one battery pack that didn't have any 1* reviews, only 2 or better and now I kniw why. I'm using it for about 2 weeks now. The unit came precharged with about 75% (3 out of 4 leds) and it charged my phone from 25% to 100% in about 2 hours. After that dropped to 2 lights (25-50%). I managed to get another charge, from 40% to 95%, it took about an hour and the charge stayed the same, 2 out of 4. I decided then to recharge the unit with an htc 1A charger (unfortunately it doesn't come with one) for about 4 hours and it was back to full. I used it 3 more times on a full charge and dropped down to low. Bottom line, you can easily use it for three charges, granted I never let my phone discharge completely, I usually recharge when it drops under 15-20%. The unit has automatic shut down after 40 secs of inactivity, although the manual states 20 secs.

It also comes with 2 usb cables and various connectors, of which 2 are micro usbs. It also has a built in led flash light good for 270 hours of use on a full charge, but I don't really use it.

If anyone interested, i really recommend this because of its capacity (6000mAh) perfect for its size. Is not big at all.
