[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sivarticus85:
I wonder if the GS3 suffers from graphic redraws? Maybe it's not caching the images perpetually, only drawing them when needed. I've noticed this when it loads widgets, scrolling through menus, and when you have a lot of notifications(the drop down shade hesitates when it's opening and closing). I don't think it's hardware, as there are a few HTC phones with the same adreno GPU and they don't lag. My previous phone, the EVO 4G LTE, didn't lag at all, and they share the same adreno graphics hardware. Hero's Axis Rom addresses most of these issues, as my experience with his roms have been positive. It's not completely gone, but it's better than stock. I'd recommend using his rom if you have these issues.

fix, maybe?

Hey, all. So I had gotten the i757m, same problem as here. Got a new one from Bell, and it was slow as hell too.. Here's what I did.

I disabled everything I could, all the bloatware.

100% HD Games

Asphalt 6

Google Play Books

Google Play Movies

Google Play Music

GPS Navigator(Let's be real here, it sucks anyways.. use google maps)

Let's Golf 3

Mobile TV

Sympatico.ca

Yahoo! Finance

Yahoo! News

This helps(after a 4.1.2 upgrade via kies)

Next step: Developer options

Turned off animations(Transition Animation Scale)

under apps > Do not keep activities check box. Destroys processes after the user leaves them. Not so awesome for multitasking, but hey, whatever works, right? 262 MB used 1.7GB free :D. Seems like a win to me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] macman159:
Do you guys overclock? This is just a theory, but overclocking or undervolting overclocking or flashing too many times seems to slow down phones. Have any of you guys tried to go back to stock and then factory reset and started over? I think that might help. Also, I do see lag, however I only see minimal lag, maybe its because I rarely have anything on my phone? I am also on stock kernel and that seems to work the best for me right now, I used to run custom kernels, but some of them keep causing issues and weren't stable enough or gave me worse battery life. I will try the new leankernel as I like leankernel from the galaxy nexus and have previously tried lean before and had a good experience. Hopefully this at least partially answers the OP's question
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmxc23:
Well there have been 3 Touchwiz kernels that worked for me and that's leankernel, kt747 and Zeus. I only overclock to 1.8 ghz or 1.6 ghz those speeds give me the least problems.

It's a security measure to stop malware sending expensive premium rate text messages. Basically if you try and text a number thats not in your address book (i,e, by addressing it by number rather than name), then you get this warning.

Hi all,

in the current rom I am using there is one file missing in sys / android_touch (s2w), but in an older version I have the file. Is there a way to copy this file? I have a file manager with root access and tried already, but I was not allowed to copy the file. Any ideas?

TIA
[HTC Sensation] Shree.bhagwat:
s2w is known as sweep 2 wake it means when you swipe your finger from home to search button you screen will turn on

IMO you cannot copy system files as they might be different if you want s2w flash a kernel wch supports it

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Njord0:
I have an R800a with the locked boot loader, however i plan to use LoOpy! method as seen here to flash the new kernel. My xperia play is a Rogers (canada) branded phone and i have root. I must still be running the original release version as it says under build number: 3.0.1.A.0.145 and it looked like we're in the 4s now.

What I want from flashing the new kernel is being able to run the stock rom and overclock (I want better gaming performance). I believe DoomLord kernel will accomplish this. With Loopy!s method the file must be in a FTF format, and hes posted a version of Doomlords kernel that will work with his method. However, looking at Doomlords page about installing it, I need the rom version to be "SE 4.0.2.A.0.42/.58/.62 FW... " link here. I do see that he has a kernel for my version, but its not an FTF format (its the standard .img)

Questions:

Should i update to the newest SE rom? to do this i would just use sonys software (pc companion?) to update?

I've used titanium backup to freeze/remove some apps. What apps are needed to preform the SE Rom update?

Updating the ROM version, will I lose all my apps/data? (i assume not)

Flashing to the custom kernel, will i lose all my apps/data? (maybe?)

I think i lose root when i update to the newest SE rom, but if I install the custom kernel I should get root back?

Kind of unrelated to the above, is it possible to completely back up my ROM in its current state (with bootloader unlocked =no) encase anything goes wrong i can just restore it? There is a rough guide on how to convert .img to FTF so I assume if I can get a .img i should be ok...

Thanks for the help!

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnnyDanger:
Hows it going everyone? Im back on the stock rom on my Nexus 4. Im running into a problem with my cellular data and wonder if anyone has any recommendation on how to fix it.

The problem is certain apps will not work with cellular data. I can browse the internet, use streaming music services like Pandora and Play Music, and check bank account balances. But when I try to use other apps they cant detect a data connection. The apps affected (that I can think of right now) are Hulu, Netflix and a app that lets me pay my gas and electric bill (My PG&E). Ive run into the problem before with other apps, I just cant remember which ones. Im on AT&T and wonder if maybe I have my settings wrong. I never changed anything because I was under the impression that when I put my simcard in it would know which settings to use for AT&T.

Can anyone tell me why this might be happening and perhaps how to fix it? I would really appreciate any info that could be provided.

Thanks in advance.

Like I said before, tried googling & I'm double checking that I am taking the correct steps to put the right stuff on there on here. I'm currently trying to fish out the .apk's I may need to install but I need to look through the manual to see what I am missing. I previously had a G2X which I managed to get to CM 10 thanks to the wizards here, but I just got this phone, and it seems to be running ICS. It just doesn't have as many apps as it should out of the box.

Another thing I think may be worthy of noting is that it has "Samsung Apps" in the home screen but it says it does not install.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
This is knock off device and not a real S3 The reason they are not there is that most likely the device doesnt have the hardware to support it. Thos device normally come with around 500 mb of ram and that is not even close to enough to run the samsung apps. Mix in that 4.1.9 is not an official build of android so you most likely will have issues with google based apps.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zekefreed777:
I see. I'll go through Samsung then. Thanks for looking over the specs.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Once Samsung gets it they will return it to you unaltered. The min they see it is a knock off device they will refuse to do anything with it.

As for the IMEI that is easily faked and knock offs are known to use copied IMEI numbers to fool the buyers into thinking it is legit. If I were you I would toss it on Ebay and get another device.

Too many people looking for a cheap high end device and they end up with a POS that is equal to a toaster. Please make sure you know what you are buying before you buy it. You will find almost no help/support/or anything for those devices anywhere.

Hello all,

i have ics 4.0.4 on my s2.

when i try to flash stock jb 4.1.2 roms (from sammobile) with odin, it gets stuck at the samsung logo.

the steps that i take:

1. recovery mode--> wipe user data

2. go into download mode

3. start odin on pc and connect via usb cable

4. flash the tar file (i've done from netherlands, england and nordic countries)

After it's done flashing, the phone restarts but it gets stuck on the screen with the samsung logo.

Now i've come back to my backup 4.0.4.

Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] immortalneo:
First of all, which variant of S2 do u have?

Does the phone bootloop in ICS also now? Or does the issue occur with only JB?

Are all the files u downloaded intact? Could they be corrupted?

How did u restore ICS? Using nandroid backup?

And please read about eMMC Brickbug issue on 4.0.4. :)

I have the international version (i9100).

No, the phone doesn't bootloop in ICS. Only with JB

I think all the files are intact, because it flashes completely with odin (and after that it bootloops. And i flashed severalof them.

Before I flashed the JB rom, i made a backup with CWM. When i flashed JB and bootlooped, i wiped user data again.But it still bootloops. Then I flashed Philz cwm, and went into recovery and restored the ICS backup.

Yes, I read the Brckbug page. I downloaded the app and it says that my chip is not insane. So my phone cant get hardbricked.

Do you know what else i can do?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] immortalneo:
Interesting...

Since u have CWM now, I suggest u use a rom wipe/nuke script (there's a good one by Hawkerpaul) to get a clean slate, and then flash JB.

any white covers available for draco?

Thank you for this thread! Been upgrading my s3. I like my tech to look good the way people like good looking cars. So I also decided to go with the draco. Overkill but no other cases looked as good.*happy to see how handsome your draco-seidio rig looks.

Wondering if anyone knows of a white extended battery back to fit with the Draco? The seidio extended cover doesn't seem to come in white or other colors (waiting on an email from them to verify).*

The one thing my kick ass Draco look needs (after finding a white back) is a kick stand. Does anyone know if the white mugen kickstand cover work with Draco? I suspect it does not - the Seidio has what looks like a step down near the outer edges which is close to "stock" thickness. The mugen is thick all the way to the edge. File it down maybe? I'm lazy. .prefer no modding.

Any advice appreciated.* White extended battery covers thin enough for draco with a kickstand* dont seem to exist. .. done lots of searching!* I would settle for no kickstand i suppose.* but really want white (preferably with larger battery than the Samsung brand extended battery cover which does look good so I may have to settle for that )

To see the mugen see their website at
