[General Questions and Answers] AR2186:
Hey guys, new to posting on the forums but have followed them for the past couple of months and found them very helpful. Unfortunately, I dropped by Verizon Windows Phone 8x about a month ago and shattered the screen, and have been using a Galaxy SIII ever since. After using Windows Phone, I really do not enjoy using Android and have been trying to think of a way to use it on my SIII.

I have an idea about getting it running, but don't have the appropriate software nor expertise to try and do so, and could use some help/suggestions. While I do not believe this will work on non-North American SIII's (because of the lack of a Snapdragon processor), the North American versions share pretty much the same internals and arguably should work (ATT/TMO GSIII--> ATIV S and the VZW GSIII --> ATIV Odyssey)

I have some experience flashing Android phones, and am running CM10.1 on my SIII right now, but am not 100% sure what the steps would be given this is a different operating system. I've followed the HTC Windows Phone 8x unbranding thread, and figure the steps would be similar. I also don't have an ATIV Odyssey ROM.

I'd be happy to do some trial and error to see what works if anyone can help me out a little bit (especially with the ROM). I am hoping to replace my SIII with a Nokia 928 when it comes out, so the SIII is essentially just a test device at this point.

Thanks for any help you can provide.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hironimo:
I got a sim-locked GT N-7100.

On the one hand I want to be able to - at least temporarily - use it on another network.

But I was told by my provider that once I unlock the phone (which I am allowed to), I would loose my warranty.

So: Can I re-enabled a sim-lock (without anyone noticing it was temporarily enabled)?

If so, please tell me how!

I understand just flashing a stock firmware does not affect the sim-lock setting.

There are instructions how to un-lock (see here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2014982)

but not to re-lock

Thanx!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirCanealot:
Where are you from?

I'm pretty sure Europe and US providers have no right to remove a warranty for that.

You can flash a stock rom if you need to claim under the warranty and reset the flash counter.

Even a proper network unlock (with a network unlock code that you have to pay for) removes your warranty? :o
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hironimo:
I'm from Austria.

According to this: http://www.answers.com/topic/sim-lock#Austria it should be legal. Was even told by a nice guy from my operator I could do it, just that I would loose warranty.

I know about flash counter resets, so if I choose to try a custom rom (my note is completely stock until now) I'll be sure to use triangle-away before flashing a stock rom :)

Don't have the need for root currently though.

I dont know about details of warranty when it comes to unlocking.

I don't get why I it would void warranty since doing unlocking is someting thats even supported by the stock rom (just try a different sim and you get a screen asking you to enter an unlock pin).

Anyway, i'm still curious if it is possible to re-lock a previously un-locked android phone!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hironimo:
I got feedback on another thread:

slotguy:

I used the same thread to unlock then reversed it and relocked the sim. I don't believe there is a way anyone could tell it had been toggled off and back on. It is a service menu on the Samsung device.

So I tried the instructions, unfortunetely the lock control menu is not avilable with my firmware.

So am I correct that the only way is to flash an older firmware (4.1.1) and try with that?
[General Questions and Answers] zanfo:
Hi,I want to change my sensation.I'd like to buy a new phone with good camera and battery life.

I had to decide betwen 3 device:galaxy sIII (removable battery and good camera),htc one x(better camera but poor battery life)and nexus 4(good device and battery,but with camera I saw different opinion).I'm a fan of HTC from many years,but last battery decision is wrong for me.

Thanks all for replyes
[General Questions and Answers] VincentVX73:
I'd go with the Nexus 4. To be honest, a phone camera, no matter how good, is still a phone camera. Yes, some phones may produce slightly nicer pictures than others, but unless you start comparing them side by side, you're really not going to be disappointed with any of the phones you listed. Setting aside the camera as a major consideration, the Nexus 4 is going to give you the best overall experience. The screen is downright gorgeous, the battery is solid, and not being a third party phone means you will be able to load the latest and greatest builds of android right out of the gate.
[General Questions and Answers] zanfo:
thankyou Vincent. I like very much htc one x for sense too,but battery is a really bug for me .What about n4 battery life with your use?HTC drain battery very quicly when screen on,
[General Questions and Answers] ChronoReverse:
If you can, try the One X+. It's the refreshed version with much better battery life and larger internal storage.
[General Questions and Answers] zanfo:
I saw it,but the price is out of budget
[General Questions and Answers] YEK1907:
You can prefer Note II also for longer battery life
[General Questions and Answers] Pennycake:
I like the freedom of a removeable battery and can't see myself going back to a device where it can't be swapped / replaced. I would have loved to get the N4, but this was a dealbreaker along with lack of micro SD card. It depends on what is important to you.
[General Questions and Answers] D_A_R:
Based on your choices, I would suggest you get the Galaxy SIII and get a expendable battery (probably 4200mAh if you don't mind bulky or OEM 3000mAh which is slimier). You get best of both worlds, good camera and good battery life :good:
[General Questions and Answers] zanfo:
thanks guys for replyes.Now i'm in troble for g iii or htc one x plus(used).The second have little more battery life and newer,but who have better camera?I don't like samsung,but I think to have to buy it...
[General Questions and Answers] D_A_R:
Both HTC one plus X and Samsung Galaxy S3 are using 2100mAh battery so there is no which one is longer or shorter battery.

Both camera shots are comparable since after the latest update for S3.

Consider things like removable battery which can be upgradable to higher mAh, expandable SD Card which able to store more photos, music, videos etc....

Its quite clear that Samsung Galaxy S3 do have the edge over HTC one plus X.

Hope this will help you make your choice.

Do click thanks button for us all if we helped you :D

I think 64 gb of htc can be sufficient,for camera I think that it's personal opinion,have to try both to decide,too many different views on that matter.

[Galaxy S 4 General] pack21:
After seeing dozens of vids i started to notice in Russians vids (Exynos Version) UI transitions seems to be more snappier than vids using S600 version.

In russians vids all in S4 seems pretty smooth and fast (like here and other vids: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ymXQHSxOh4).

In s600 vids seemed to me have seen something clawing here and there.

Someone more have notice this or is just a placebo effect i have. :o

Thx.

I'm dying to see 2 versions face to face.:cool:

.
[Galaxy S 4 General] TingTingin:
Placebo it's probably using the a7s anyway when UI browsing

S4 INFO
[Galaxy S 4 General] 4ktvs:
That may be true, but the GPU is more power full so it could be faster due to that. I don't know, they both look good to me.
[Galaxy S 4 General] pack21:
Also dont know, as i said after seeing many videos I found myself looking preferably Russians videos because what i saw in their S4 screens looks better to me than no Russians vids, although in beginning didnt associated they use Exynos version.

I hope is placebo effect because here we only have S600 version....arrhhhh SAM. :(
[Galaxy S 4 General] emylia777:
wish it could've been subtitled. I couldn't understand at all. :(
[Galaxy S 4 General] BoneXDA:
It's possible. Neither has the final SW out and Samsung has been working on the Exynos version before they realized they'll need the Snapdragon to meet all the demand. How quickly they managed to adapt with all features to a different SoC only means they'll improve it further upon launch and then some, but I can't say I've seen any lag on either version in videos.

The only thing's bothering me is the home button lag cause it waits for double input, can you turn it off?

Also, is there a way to make AirView pop-ups instantaneous like mouse hover instead of waiting a second over the content?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Sh4d0wDr4g0n2:
Yes, atleast on the s3 you can disable home button for S-voice :)

[Galaxy S 4 General] darrendm:
I don't think there was any intent to be rude in his statement. There is a beta caption translator built into YouTube which gives you a rough idea what he is saying if you enable it.

Still delaying my preorder/early upgrade because of this (although most likely placebo) and other reasons. Really hope the i9500 someone makes it here to the UK so I can get rid of my temp-phone BlackBerry! :crying:
[Galaxy S 4 General] pack21:
Thanks, I hadn't realized that.

At first glance it seemed to be referring to my post, @emylia777 might have added that was referred to youtube vid.

@emylia777, In that case i apologize.
[Galaxy S 4 General] MrPhilo:
The Adreno 320 should be similar performance to the SGX544MP3 on the Exynos. Both of the chips GPU are clocked higher than stock, we know the SGX544MP3 is at 533Mhz. Plus in theory the Adreno 320 still should perform better due to better intergration in the GPU. The Adreno 320 has more to offer than the SGX544MP3 in the long run such as OpenGL 3.0 and Open CL 1.0, which should make the UI smoother.

Anyways, I won't be surprised in the Exynos version is more optimized, the A7 CPU is a lot slower than the Snapdragon 600, so they'll have to make it optimize for the Exynos chip than the S600.
[Galaxy S 4 General] SlimJ87D:
With 2 GBs of RAM, who knows how many things are running and what is on the priority list. Those are things we don't get to see in these videos.

I wonder if lets say having 5 memory intensive apps open would bog down the CPU priority list and slow the device down a bit.
[Galaxy S 4 General] pack21:
First comparative says the Octa version delivers 10% better benchmark performance to the Snapdragon 600 variant

......:mad:

and better battery life.

There can be many reasons.

Try downloading the file again and reflash it. Sometimes a file gets corrupted while downloading it. This might help.

If it still remains after that, contact the developer of the ROM and send him a logcat.

Btw, you can use tags for links. That will make the link clickable.

I have got an samsung galaxy s2 (GT i9100) with cm10.1.

I had some trouble recently and I had to restore one of my backups. I did and everything was fine, but the next day I noticed that I had no more scores in some apps like Angry birds, World of Goo, Spirits...

So I thought, I just had to restore an older backup where I can backup app datas and restore them later. Thats what I tried, but after restoring some apps still had no datas and I'm pretty sure that when I made this backup the apps had scores. The strange thing is, that some other apps had scores again. It seems that only the "big" apps, that were on the sd card, are not restored completely.

Do you know the problem or can you even solve it?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Cyberguycpt:
I know many people post and come here looking for guidance on whether they should keep the Note 1 or upgrade to the Note 2. And here is my honest opinion. Let me first start off by saying how much I loved the Note 1's size and that it pretty much keeps me locked into buying only a few devices based on that fact alone. And although the Note 2 is only .2 inches larger it packs enough other features to make it a great upgrade.

Now a little about Me. I am definitely a phone lover, I have had over 20 different phones in the past few years, and love trying out different brands and operating systems. But I usually like to stick to Stock and really don't mod my devices.

Let me first start off by saying had Samsung upgraded the Note 1 to Jelly bean, I probably would have the Note 1 Still. And yes, I know I could have installed Jelly Bean or had it installed by an experienced technician, but I prefer my devices to be stock. Although the Note 1 is an incredible device its hardware begin showing its age. The phone I once thought was very smooth started chugging along as more hardware intensive applications were installed on it. I would have too reset the phone every so often to help keep enough Ram free to keep things from slowing down too much, and did a few full factory wipes when things got too bad. But all in all the Note 1 is a good phone and I would still recommend it to someone who likes to mod, or to someone who wants the big screen of the note series but doesn't like the price tag of the Note 2.

Now onto why I think you will love the Note 2. Well, first If you like the Note 1 you will definitely like the Note 2, they share many things in common. Like I mentioned before the Note 2 screen is not much bigger that the Note 1. Second, Touchwiz although it has been refined more, its still touch wiz, and the software between most of the galaxy phones is very familiar which is a good thing. But, what the Note 2 improves on makes it worth purchasing. First the feature I love the most is the speed upgrade. With 2 GB of Ram this phones speeds through things and you will experience less waiting for web paged and apps to load. Second on the software side, Samsung has introduced knew features where when you take out the S pen or plug in the headphones It will take you to a special homepage where the necessary content is easily available, for instance if you plug in the head phones it takes you to a page with the music widget, this overall makes it easier to play music. A design feature that I love and is unique to the American Variants of the Note 1 is the home button. Fore some the four touch buttons might make navigating easier but I love double tapping the home button to turn the screen on especially when i'm trying to change songs while driving, and tapping once to exit an application.

Well I hope this helps someone on the fence, who is thinking but not quite sure what to do. To summarize the Note 1 is a great phone, but I believe the Note 2 packs enough new features and design elements to warrant an upgrade.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] GeeZnU:
ive decided to keep my note, holding out hope for a JB update :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] chak29:
At this time I will wait for note3. We are only 5-6 months away...and I think we are going to get jelly bean upgrade soon anyway.with most of the note2 features included. There's really dont have any good reasons to get note2 now. Unless our phone broke.and u need a phone now..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Cyberguycpt:
Yeah I wished they would have upgraded the Note 1 to Jelly Bean already, but I got tired of waiting. But thats Googles fault they should start holding manufacturers accountable for there upgrades. Better yet manufacturers should start shipping all phones out with pure Android on them and the owner of the phone will have the choice of installing there skin or rocking the pure experience, atleast that way when an update comes out it will be available immediately and all the manufacturer would have to do is update its skin to the newest Android version, problem solved.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SKyRocKeting727:
The Note 2 is a really good phone but in a few more months, the Note 3 is gonna be release and most of us are willing to keep our Notes til then. My girl has the Note 2 and even she says that the 16x10 screen ratio is better than the 16x9 ratio on the note 2.
