[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sameee781:
I found several post on rooting and installing other things but confused which process should I follow. Initially I just want to root my phone so that I can use some applications that needs root privilege. Then I will think for installing custom ROMs. I didn't make me clear reading some related forum post. I've the following queries in my mind -

1. If I just want to root my phone, is there any chance to delete data in the internal 16GB memory?

2. Will I loose SMS, MMS and application? If yes, how can I take backup of the apps? Titanium Backup does not work without root.

3. What is "Up IMEI / NV Data". Why Backing Up IMEI / NV Data is required? I

4. What is the physical significance of USB Settings. Why USB Settings Backup / Restore is required.

5. I found only information on ClockworkMod Recovery. May be this is the best. Am I right?

6. I found a unified tool "SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 UNIFIED TOOLKIT V7.0". Is there any drawbacks of using this tool instead of using the other manual process?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sameee781:
Could anyone please help me finding the answers of the above queries.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VinciusG:
If you root your device using CF-Root Or any other way that doesn't involve the flash of a pre rooted firmware your data won't be deleted, your SD card is safe anyway, I personally use PhilZ Recovery

I have polish version from Orange operator. They pre-installed some apps (totally useful because they can be used just in Poland) and welcome screen and this staff. I want to remove this and let there just really factory state original from Samsung. I tried factory reset and hard reset and it's still there. I even tried root device with unlockroot, but I really do not know what and how can I do to remove it... I'll be glad for any help. Thanks
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kvidli:
You have to root your phone and then get a root explorer or something like it and go in root folder of your phone where you can remove those apps from system.

Is anyone else having this issue? I sync facbook and did all the only merge contacts on phone. then deleted FB then re installed and sync again. I've done everything and for some odd reason only some or a few contacts will link with FB to show picture as a contact in my phone book.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Sulten:
No takers on this one?

Update on this so for some odd reason if i go to contact

1. click edit contact change a few letter on the contact then save.

2. click edit contact change the name back.

3. click the 3 dots on the top right and click link

4. click on the FB to link and choose the person and link them it works.

Dont know why but it does.

when i tried it without changing the name and repeat the steps it wont link them.

odd. anyone else having that issue?

I just stumbled upon this and thought I would share.

http://www.ibtimes.com/samsung-gala...build-discovered-t-mobile-model-photo-1232547

Apparently this Steve Kondik guy is a spectacular developer... The phone has only been in our hands for 2/3 days and he already has working(yet unnoficial or finished) version of CM10.1 Wow. That's amazing if I do say so myself. I hope he sees this and lets me beta test for him. :)

Please tell me this is sarcasm and you really do know who Steve Kondik is.

Hey All!

Long time XDAer here :) I've been here since my G1 all those days ago. Well, I couldn't find this accessory...so I made one. :)

I'm starting a Kickstarter Campaign tomorrow at 2pm and I think my fellow Xperia ZL fans should know...!

Casetop.ca

Livi-Design.ca

Xperia ZL in the prototype Casetop

1 Minute Render Intro

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j13HKK0HC5U

5 Minute Details Video (with me lol)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVFrD9_5fZ8

Here's the summary:

30+ Hours of Battery Life

Apple/ASUS/Sony Quality

$250!

720p with a stretch goal at 1080p!

Please let me know what you think guys.

[Sony Xperia ZL] bluechu7:
I was very excited about the Casetop when I discovered your Kickstarter campaign. I have been hoping for a product like this for such a long time! When I noticed that you were using a ZL in your demo I nearly fell out of my chair :P

I'm wondering if positioning the phone in the area directly below the keyboard will make it difficult to rest one's palm while typing. Is it possible to rest your right hand on something without touching the phone's screen?
[Sony Xperia ZL] hailmikhail:
great idea. details ?

Great idea!

What is the target weight for this accessory ?

While I see you list a 56 Watt-hour battery, the Kickstarter doesn't show a battery.

Is a battery already fitted into the mock-up used in the 5 min video ?

Will the battery be removable ?

Will you provide software to render a cursor in response to user input via phone touchscreen ?

In a future video would you please show how the wrist rest would be used and how the hand will rest while the phone is placed between the keyboard and outer bar ?
[Sony Xperia ZL] andjohn:
bluechu7 - Thanks for the kind words! Ya, I love my ZL. Great phone, I am kind of missing CM; so I might have to bug them for MHL support...Check out the update #13 on Kickstarter for your Frontbar thoughts. I have used it, and it appears like the phone doesn't get in the way but there is some solutions on that update too. Also, there is a hole in the Frontbar on the left, so you can have your phone beside the Casetop, and have the Casetop closed.

HailMikhail - The target weight is about 2 iPads in weight. I know that's not exact, but it will vary with accessories and stretch goals, but it will be about as heavy as a laptop. Batteries are heavy lol.

The prototype is just that, a prototype. The battery has not been integrated and the controllerboard needs to have the extra parts removed as you can see in the pictures of the parts on the Kickstarter page. All of the hard stuff is complete on the prototype, but easy things like battery management and PCB modification aren't complete. They are further along in the production stage.

The battery will be removable, but it is not advised to be taken apart. It's internal to the Casetop, and doesn't have a quick release. There is only 4 screws holding the Casetop together, so it would be easy to replace for a normal XDAer. We're focussing on mods and hacks too. :)

Someone already has done the software for the cursor, the wonderful Screen Standby on the Google Play Store has that already! And any Android 4.0+ has bluetooth mouse capabilities.

I'll see what I can do to make a video that shows this. I have 2 videos coming up that will show some use examples and stuff.

Thanks!

John
[Sony Xperia ZL] andjohn:
Oh, I was going to say, if you like the project; we need help pushing it into the higher goals, as we're bugging everyone we can. :) You can win a phone each Friday for 3 weeks on our facebook page just by liking stuff and talking about the Casetop. fb.com/techbylivi :) Thanks!
[Sony Xperia ZL] hailmikhail:
a question remaining

Thanks! I tried rev 2 Beta 2.

Great! Thank you. I'll track your updates for this post.

With which active components did you determine the 30+ hour session ( MHL adapter, LCD, backlight, LCD controller, Bluetooth keyboard controoler, other ) ?

OK.
[Sony Xperia ZL] andjohn:
Excellent, ya Screen Standby is awesome. I love that guy. We used all of what will be used in a Casetop. We even had the phone run down it's battery to 10%, so that includes one full charge of the phone and use for the 30 hours. You've listed them all but add in an HTC Sensation.
[Sony Xperia ZL] kickthefreak:
is this available for now ?

i hope it can deliver to my country.
[Sony Xperia ZL] andjohn:
Hey Kickthefreak,

The Casetop is available for Pre-Order and it is estimated to be shipping for February 2014. We're delivering worldwide, just go to casetop.ca and check out our pre-order site!

After I have tryed the FULL SCREEN CALER ID app and uninstalled it again.. I no longer have the option to answer phonecalls with pre- defined SMS..

How can I restore that option..?:crying:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] hayabusa1300cc:
Tethered to the note 2 in the pic. But now I only use it via Bluetooth connectivity. It's amazing how much full sound with bass comes from one small speaker. The sound really fills the room. It sounds really excellent with ambient and acoustic tracks, while it handles full range tracks wonderfully as well. Full volume, and you get no distortion or any hint you're at the speaker's limit. Set me back 63$ at the Sprint store. Box says it plays 5 hours off a charge.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Lelouche:
We demo these at my store and they really do sound great for such a small speaker. Usually wows customers, but not enough for them to purcahse it. :p
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] hayabusa1300cc:
Haha I demo myself and within 20 seconds or less I purchased it lol. I love it

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] tx_dbs_tx:
I have the HTC ONE and as awesome as the built in stereo speakers sound, I'm sure they don't have the punch that speaker has. I think I'd have to go for stereo external speakers not just the one. But he's right, the point of the matter is "built in" stereo speakers... OP is just suggesting an alternative for those who care to give it a try.

Hahaha! And I picked up the Otterbox f for the S4, I like the one I have on the note 2. But I took the little back cause I know I wouldn't use it now. Also has built in microphone for calls, this thing is heavy f go it it's size and the quality of the drivers warrant that weight
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] dbpaddler:
My problem with the Flip is the pin charger. Stupidest design move for a portable device. Has left me high and dry a couple times, and I sold it. Great sound for its size though. It is their only portable model with a pin type charger. I'd get the Charge for the right price. Also read good reviews on Cambridge's Oontz. Similar design style as the Flip. Fairly cheap on amazon, more so if you buy three.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] 12MaNy:
Damn bro......clean your screen. :p
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] hayabusa1300cc:
Yeah I was a lil disappointed no micro USB connection so I could use one charger but oh well. I'm satisfied with it, crank these speakers up max volume without blowing them.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] dbpaddler:
Ahh. Forgot that puck started the thread. All good.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] CCallahan:
These are all pretty cool and everything but if you are listening to this in the house than most have a fairly decent audio system with network streaming ability for media. Not really any need to even use the phone. Maybe this is just me. Whereas the One does have them built in for anywhere use without carrying anything additional.

How bout this....

A case and/or case/holster combo that has a nice little speaker built-in that stays connected via bluetooth and charges when you charge your phone? Would anyone buy this type of case? Would be kinda cool I think.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] dbpaddler:
I wouldn't. If I'm relying on my phone to listen, sound quality isn't my goal. Besides, this most likely isn't someone's first rodeo for portable sound, and while I haven't listened to music on the HTC, I can't imagine it holds up to most of the portables people have. It might be very nice for what it is, but if sound matters, I'm not relying on my phone. Just like I'm not relying on my phone when I'm taking a picture that matters. My SD100 and Oly PM1 run circles around every phone's camera. So good phone speakers are not making or breaking my buying decision.

But I'm always game for talking new toys. Also, if anyone has old iphone/ipod speaker docks, they make bluetooth dock connectors. Plug them into the dock and it becomes a bluetooth speaker. I'm using a logitech S715 as my portable speaker with that adapter.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] hayabusa1300cc:
I'll admit I didn't do any research add I normally do, just let my ears do the judgment. Reading through all the reviews, I know I made the best choice.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] genaro12543:
Definitely a good pick up. Kills the jbl micro speaker for the small price difference and kills the beats pill with is way pricier. Plus on full blast this speaker doesn't get staticy at all its always clear

The built in speakers aren't as nice or loud as my standalone. That's why I have them.

I have XDA with ROM 4.00.11 ENG and Radio 4.21.00. Problem is : GSM module hangs so heavily that I have to cold-reset my device. This is very oppressive especially when I have set software.

I need some advice please.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Biso007:
RSU 4.21 is known to have many issues as you can read in this forum ... if you are using 900/1800 MHz, it's good to switch to RSU 3.25 from Carrier Devices.

If you are not ready to give up your xda ... I strongly advice you to get it flashed by a repair center ... RSU flashing is very dangrous even tho it worked for many people here!!

One last note, better to check with your operator if they can advice on a specific RSU version

After overwriting the file in system/app, the new battery icon appeared ok, but after rebooting the whole status bar disappeared.

Replacing back the previous systemui.apk left the system crazy, with no network, force close on settings and other strange behavior.

Had to restore a recovery backup to get things going again.
