Isn't Stamina Mode about turning off data connections when screen is off ? I can see that option in Power Management, named Extended Stanby Mode (translating from polish).
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
It is basically the same, AFAIK. But I guess STAMINA is more improved, saving more battery and it also turns off the LED... I read on Sony Devs blog also that it turns off the radio, but saves the IP, so when it comes back on, it connects almost instantly, instead of having to get the IP code all again.

Gs3 uses xhdpi resolution and gs2 hdpi .

You can copy the files from xhdpi folder to hdpi folder.

And nexus s uses the same resolution like s2 even the simple galaxy s is using it.

The long awaited Samsung Galaxy S4 was launched in India yesterday, it is the

Exynos 5 Octa

version of the handset that has been launched in India. Developed by Samsung and using the

ARM big.LITTLE architecture

, the handset is expected to deliver exceptional battery life.

While the chip does have eight processing cores, the heavy lifting is to be done by four of the Cortex A15 type chips clocked at 1.6Ghz. Meanwhile the remaining four Cortex A7 chips running at 1.2Ghz will assist during less intensive tasks.

From what I'm seeing the snapdragon will have better developer support, the CPU scores about the same as the Exynos, the Adreno 320 is a newer GPU, so while it doesn't have the speed of the 544, it probably has support for newer tech and it's proven unlike the Exynos.

I just think there is no real reason to get the Exynos and every review says no LTE support so......

When zoom in and then scroll, it reloaded pages a lot and caused lag

I think it's software problem. Zooming is pretty smooth, equals to iPhone and better than Note 2

[Samsung Captivate Glide] hkcharlie:
I'm pretty new to all this, I had a Rogers Captivate that had been crashing on me. Everything suggests that if I changed my software it would work.

So I managed to to flash a newer AT&T ROM on to the phone via Odin. (I was pretty chuffed with myself)

However, as soon as I put my sim into it, it became locked. I paid an online service to get an unlock code, but the IMEI number I delivered to them didn't match the network, so I messed that up.

Now I've noticed that I could flash a rooted ROM via Odin, which should save me having to unlock, right ?

I went to the thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1621350 and looked for a suitable ROM (preferably supported).

I went for the PAC ROM, but noticed there is no tar file in the download.

The other ones I wanted to try either suggested it was flashed by another method than Odin (I might be wrong) or the download links for the files themselves were no longer working.

Also, there is talk about Gapps. What is this and what is the process for installing it ?

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] davidpartay:
Hi there,

You'll need to specify that the phone is still on the Rogers network, as that's how they access the database. Ie., if you have a phone that was supplied to Rogers, the IMEI will be associated with Rogers and if you tell them it's ATT, they won't be able to find it - regardless of what ROM you're running.

Unfortunately, as far as I'm aware you do have to pay to unlock the ROM again but I'm not an expert on this - I know that I had the same problem you did and they told me to put it in as Rogers instead - that got me my unlock code.

I have a rooted Milestone 2 which is running JB now, and it is still operator locked unfortunately.

Apparently the GalaxSim Unlock tool is good but I don't know if it retains your IMEI - I know it does back up your EFS though. Maybe it's worth a try?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] sbiricuda:
Before doing anything with your IMEI i suggest you to backup your efs folder. There's a software for this too.

Thanks for the feedback, I've reapplied for my unlock code.

Hi hkcharlie,

Have a look at the below thread to unlock your sim card. I used it on mine and my friend's S3.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1846451

I suggest reading the "everything about captivate glide" thread here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1621350

I use CWMR (ClockWork Mod Recovery) from this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1458153

You have to flash this acording to ODIN. Afterwards, you can download .zip files directly to your device for flashing, or download them on your computer and copy them to the devices SD card. Select them in recovery mode and they will install.

These two roms I've had a lot of success with:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1945558

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2021374

They're both ICS. There is a cm10.1 JB (4.2.2) build as well, and it's *awesome* - but it is missing a few critical features so I won't recommend it for your first time.

Almost any ROM you flash from this forum will already be rooted. Being 'rooted' just means having a kernel that supports it (both ICS rom's above include a root-capable kernel) and a /bin/su and appropriate superuser apk.

Of course, back up your EFS - there are some apps on the market that will help you do this. And backup everything. And test your backup. And your warranty is void, your phone may explode, or impregnate you with mogwai. (do not get wet, do not feed after midnight.)

Happy flashing!
