[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
I'm sorry but I have to disagree with you again. If you look at my firmware thread I have the release dates for each build. We got 4.1.1 in Nov I think it was, 6 months after the S3 released (the previous May). If that were 6 months after all other S3s, then that would mean we either just got 4.1.1 in the past couple of months, or that all other S3s were released already on this version.

If I'm remembering right, Sprint was the only one that got this version before T-Mobile, and that was only by a couple of weeks, if even that.

You can go look at sammobile or samsung-updates if you don't believe me. They will show the build date, not actual release date, but ill bet you can easily see what I'm saying.

Not trying to argue with you, I just don't understand why so many seem to want to be mad at their carrier and wind up making claims like T-Mobile is terrible about updates.

Every carrier has had problems with this on some phones, but I have to ask, wouldn't you rather they take the time needed and release a solid build?

And my last point, is that even though it wasn't 4.1.1, we actually got our first official update less than a month after release. Anyway, I just hope that clears it up a bit.

May I ask where you heard this? I'm just curious because I haven't heard anything about it. Figured there'd be some sort of buzz on the forums...

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Thanks for the link! Wish they'd say where their info came from!

When I think about it though, it doesn't seem logical that theyd skip 4.2.2. We know they were already working on it and I don't know that I see them trashing all they've done to this point. There have already been leaks for the international models, havent there? (I know how different they are), so I'd assume we'd only be a couple of months behind.

Also, 4.3 just came out, so they would likely have start all over, pushing our next update out another 6 or more months. I'm sure even they know customers won't be happy about that.

But I guess we will just have to wait and see, eh? Personally I hope we get 4 2.2 and then get the 4.3 update!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Da Kine:
Doesn't mean we'll get 4.3.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Adreaver:
We'll get 4.3, because Samsung committed to minimum 18 months of updates. Meaning November of this year would be the earliest updates would stop. However, I suspect they will update until may 2014.

Also, keep in mind that they recently updated the s2, which shipped with 2.3, to 4.1.2. That has to count for something IMO.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Da Kine:
I didn't mean for it to sound like the S3 wasn't getting 4.3, I was trying to say that article doesn't mean well get 4.3 over 4.2.2.

I know Samsung will keep updating the S3, but that's the international S3, we still have to rely on T-Mobile to push the update to us.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheLastSidekick:
If I recall correctly I remember reading somewhere we'd be updated until KLP 5.0 it may have been an official source like T-Mobile.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Da Kine:
I'll believe it when I see it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LoopDoGG79:
Isn't CM on 4.3? Flash a CM nightly and you'll be on 4.3?

Edit, just went to the CM thread, nope, for us, we are not in 4.3.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Da Kine:
Talking about touchwiz not cm.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LoopDoGG79:
Um, then you are going to wait for a long, LONG time for that update.

Dude by the time 5.0 is out I think the s6 will be out lol . We definitely are not going to get updated that far at best that's 2 years down the line also.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Adreaver:
5.0 will likely be released with the moto x this fall.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Da Kine:
I doubt it, Google just released 4.3. Google isn't going to release 5.0 a few months later, if anything 5.0 will be released in the spring of 2014.

Nexus 7 spring 2012 debuted with 4.1. Nexus 4/10 fall 2012 debuted with 4.2. New nexus 7 summer 2013 debuted with 4.3...see a pattern?

Sent from my T999L on PACman
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Da Kine:
1. The moto x isn't a nexus device

2. The pattern you pointed out are versions of jelly Bean, not a whole new version of android

If 5.0 is released this year, it will be released on a nexus device (on the next nexus phone) not on the moto X.

In my opinion, 5.0 won't be released until next year, but if Google does decide to release it this year, it would make sense that it would be on the upcoming nexus phone.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] daxecutioner24:
Lol I wonder where you get your sources. Not only did 4.3 just released but it takes several months for non google devices to get the newest update.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LoopDoGG79:
Motorola is owned by Google. The motox is the first phone that Motorola will come out with since they got acquired by Google. From now on, every Motorola phone is a Google phone.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] daxecutioner24:
Yeah I knew that but 5.0 still isn't coming out this fall, that's what we were discussing.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Da Kine:
The moto x being a Google device doesn't mean anything. Look at the Google edition S4 and one, what version of android were they released with?

The nexus line has always been first to get whatever update Google has to release, why would they change that now, for one phone that isn't part of the nexus line? They could and they might, but I don't think they will. That would defeat the purpose of having the nexus devices, which is suppose to be a vanilla android experience and gets updates right away.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] racinmason001:
I just contacted Samsung and asked if they had any info about our 4.2 release they said nope and would post on their FB and Twitter when they did.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LoopDoGG79:
The difference between the Google edition phones and nexus line is Google does not own those phones. The moto X is in reality the first true Google phone. Will they take the similar path of Apple and be involved in the hardware and software of a device? Seeing the success they have, I don't see why the moto x won't come out with vanilla. To be the first all around Google phone, hardware and software will be a very wise move for Google. If this is the case, I think they will at least be updated at the same time as the nexus line.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dito33:
Will the Nexus line then slowly die with the progress of moto x.

Sent from my SGH-T999
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Da Kine:
Looks like the moto x is going to be released on 4.2.2.

The nexus may or may not die, but from the looks of the moto x, it most likely won't.

I am curious as to why Google spent the money they did to promote the device, but there's no Google branding on the phone itself, just an M on the changeable back plates.

Now that its going to be released through carriers, I wonder who is going to control the updates, the carriers or google?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] klaw_godly:

Tactical Mod thread cleaning inbound! It's over!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] klaw_godly:
Just because i don't have many posts it doesn't mean that i don't know what i am talking about and it also doesn't mean that i haven't read a lot of posts/threads in this forum. Some of us have other important stuff to do. So i will be presenting you some of the arguments regarding the problems of the custom roms. (Problems i had).

Omega rom (4.2.1, 4.2.2) - When i randomly try to unblock my phone, the desktop screen freezes. ( For shahkam : Yes I had a thread about that in which i said the problem is gone, but it isn't apparently.)

MS TEAM HD ROM version 10 - The phone is relatively slow in response. When i enter in contacts for the first time i am just going crazy. It takes up to 5 seconds to show me the contacts. For a quad core processor and 1 GHz of RAM is lame.

I know the problem is ANDROID, not the hardware.

PARDUS ROM (a very recent version) - I had a problem with the keyboard. I don't remember it very well because i changed the rom very fast.

Nightmare ROM (version 2.7) - The battery draining was amazing. I used the phone in an very hot environment and the battery temperature was almost 50 degree Celsius (48). From 10 percentage the battery died in about 5 minutes with the phone in the pocket. #

- When playing a full HD video, the phone was very very hot.

I also had Cyanogenmod (don't know what version) but i only changed it because it doesn't had all the smart features that the touchwizz interface has.

Now i'm using MS Team HD ROM 12 and i am almost satisfied. I found bugs in this too. The Clock widget from the lock screen freezes from time to time. The only way to update the time is by restarting the devices (the only way i tried). Another problem would be YouTube. I don't know if it's the ROM fault but when i randomly watch a video the screen goes black and freezes for about 1 minute.

So, thank you for al the mean "answers"! I don't want to make friends and definitely not virtual friends.

Sorry for any grammatical/spelling mistakes. Goodbye.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Adreaver:
You came on a site for the development of custom software, to complain about how all the custom software has bugs. Either develop something better yourself, or stop complaining.

You have no right to complain about bugs in a product you contributed nothing to. If you really think stock touchwiz is better than the incredible ROMs available on this site, I suggest you stick with it and keep your complaints to yourself.

In addition, if you knew what you were talking about, as you suggested, you would know that ram is measured in bytes (specifically gigabytes) rather than hertz. Also, batteries will drain faster in high heat environments. And I I know this might seen crazy to you, but processors heat up when being used. Use+heat=exponentially faster battery drain.

And your phone, assuming it's the t999(v/l) has a dual core processor, not a quad core.

So no, your post count tells me nothing about your knowledge (or lack thereof) on the topic. Your content, however, speaks volumes.

Sent from my T999L on PACman
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] klaw_godly:
Thanks for telling me that the memory is measured in bytes. I dindn't knew that. Pff. From one mistake of writing you took false conclusions. You don't know me, so don't assume nothing.

I also know that in hot environments the processor heats up. Surprised? I just don't want to give you the example.(Were i was, how hot was and every detail ). Look in the thread about Nightmare rom. A lot of people complain about battery issue.

And i can complain how much i want. It is a forum, not everyone has to have the same opinion on something.

The phone is the international version. Maybe our "international" roms are worst that yours. Thank you for pointing this to me (i posted in the wrong area) and sorry about not looking twice before posting. But i stick with my opinion and that's it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
You're bringing arguments to our forum about another phone and different set of roms why? I'd like to help but you don't seem to want it, you're just here to vent in a thread that has nothing to do with the topic you want to discuss... I'm confused overall why you're on the TMO S3 forum or why this thread is still up for that matter lol.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ziggy46:
i was just making a simple joke because of the way that you worded the reply. its all in good fun, no need to get mad.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] klaw_godly:
Sorry for quoting you, but the answer was for those whose answers were nasty. And i get your point. Since i had the phone i kept changing roms a few times a month. So, i love custom roms. I said that stock roms works better, not that i love it. But at the end of the day (for me anyway) stock roms is better.(and still i have a custom rom) This is just my opinion..

@mt3g Is not like i am talking about Iphone in the S3 section. Maybe my arguments are not really good because we have different hardware, but it is still android...

For those who think i am talking jibber-jabber it is their opinion.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JonGarrett:
AT&T Galaxy Note.

Deleted emails from one of my outlook.com accounts keep coming back.

I've read them, deleted them from phone and desktop but they keep coming back--not new ones either, the same 20 or so emails.

I have the same email on other devices but only on the note do they keep coming back.

Any suggestions?

thnx
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
Is there a setting for deleting the email off the server when you delete it from the phone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] KSoD:
The Outlook App uses POP and not IMAP. They do not get deleted from the server unless you are using IMAP. So when you delete them it is only locally and they download again when the device syncs. You will have to delete them on the server to stop them from appearing when the app sync's.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JonGarrett:
If that were so then Id have the same problem on all 3 devices as all 3 have that email account. only on the Note do they keep coming back after I delete them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] briand.mooreg:
I use profimail and IMAP. There is an option to delete email on server when deleted on phone. It works just fine. This is not dependant on your phone/ROM.

The reason for your problems is not your Note.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] KSoD:
Not quite. The issue comes in when it re-syncs. It grabs all of the mail and since it doesn't delete from the server cause it is POP and not IMAP, they download again. The other devices are not grabbing all mail, the note is. Change or settings to only get new mail and not all mail.

You will see that everything I have said about POP and iMAP are true when you read about how they operate via Google. The device is setup different.

You just said you use IMAP and delete the email from the server. You do not have the same issue cause you are not using the same setup. Yes it is the phone. Again POP does not delete email from the server and if the app is set to sync all mail from a certain time frame it will download the mail again.

Since you are using IMAP and deleting from the server you do not have this issue. Use the Outlook App which is POP, set it to sync all mail for the past 30 days and see if the results will be the same. Bet you will see deleted emails comes back.

So yes it is the device and the app used with how it is setup.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] briand.mooreg:
? No its not the device or ROM but the app setup.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
Just check the app setting and everyone stop arguing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JonGarrett:
thank you everyone for your help. I think the problem was with the emails still being on the server and pushed to my device. I just deleted them from the server side and now they are gone.

thnx

[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MichaelC97:
So after that guy figured out the tethering hack for iOS by just changing a few lines of test, I decided to try to find one for Windows Phone 8. I have no idea how it would get on the phone (besides possibly flashing a new rom?), but I went and looked anyway. I mounted the VHD from the SDK and I think that I found something. If you use something like Visual Studio's Find in Files and search for ICSSVC, you'll find some interesting stuff.

First of all, in Microsoft,Net.NetCore.reg, I found this: puu.sh/3J9yS.png That's how I learned about ICSSVC. So then I searched for that and in Microsoft.Net.NetCore.policy.xml there is a bunch of capability stuff. I have no idea what to do past here, and the emulator doesn't have the Internet Sharing option. So, yeah.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snickler:
Unfortunately, this involves dumping phone ROMs and modifying the policies (We don't know how crazy this process will be). Another set back involves the fact that the bootloaders for WP8 are signed which would require the the ROM to be signed with the correct cert, etc.

Basically, this will be extremely painful due to WP8 running a Windows NT Kernel (WP7 uses Windows CE) and all kinds of other obstacles that we haven't discovered yet.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MichaelC97:
Also while I was searching, I found a registry entry for 'DeveloperUnlock'. So when you run the program to dev unlock your phone, the program must modify the registry on the phone. I'm pretty sure that it would be possible to replicate that.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snickler:
As of now, we can't execute the native EXEs on the phone so we won't know whether we can replicate that or not. I know with talking with HeathCliff74, modifying the policy on WP7 took quite a long time and effort to figure out. I can almost guarantee the policies on WP8 are implemented completely different from WP7 and even a bigger pain to modify
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MichaelC97:
I meant the program on your computer that comes with the SDK. I think that it modifies the phones registry to dev unlock it.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snickler:
You are correct, it does modify the registry to dev unlock it by connecting to a running service on the phone and executing native DLLs. The main DLL that interacts with the phone within the program's folder is an Win32 compiled .DLL rather than a .NET file which would require some disassembly to get an idea of what's going on. It also doesn't help that it is a signed DLL.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] natostanco:
I was using a june version of PA, today I notice the tablet turned off by himself, when I try to boot it is stuck on the boot animation of the rom, I try wipe cache/dalvik, then it remains stuck on starting apps animation, then I try factory reset, and flash again, still nothing. After flashed stock rom with easyflasher, it is still stuck on boot animation (the one with asus inspiring etc...). I have to say touch was not working on twrp, and I don't know why, could it be some sensor/memory problem?

Flashing twrp after stock still no touch response, plus it takes like 2 minutes just to show the screen from where I press - volume button to go to recovery which is not normal
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frederuco:
My guess is your screen digitizer is not working. It may be preventing ROMs from booting for some reason, but I have not heard of that causing this issue.

[Ouya General] Pkmns:
Hello everybody.

Various game concepts have been springing up in my mind lately and I am starting to think that I should make them a reality: that's one of the reasons why I bought OUYA.

Problem is...

I know absolutely NOTHING about programming, but I am eager to learn. Does anybody know how should I begin (besides of course getting a good Java manual, which I plan to do ASAP)?

Thank you in advance.
[Ouya General] brandogg:
Pretty much just learn as much Java as you can and then start with the tutorials on the Android website. I've done very little Android programming though...very little.
[Ouya General] timkd127:
There is a couple ways you can go. You can either use java code with the sdk, or C++ using the ndk. Java will be much easier to use, but because it utilizes a garbage collector, you need a slightly higher understanding of how the code works to write fast running code. C++ is more difficult to learn, especially for a beginner, but because you manage memory manually you have complete control over how your game runs. I would recommend starting with java. There is a good book called Beginning Android Game Development which is published by APress, that covers all the basics.
[Ouya General] Rirere:
Java first. Garbage collection may be something of a crutch, but if you've never touched programming before in your life, you'll want to focus on learning how to just deal with data structures and methods before worrying about memory management.

Of course, that said, you don't want to learn terrible habits in Java either.
[Ouya General] timkd127:
Agreed
[Ouya General] Pkmns:
Thank you everybody! I'm getting the book Timkd127 suggested as soon as I have some spare time ;)
[Ouya General] timkd127:
Glad to help. I did just remember though, that book approaches game dev assuming you already know some java. You might want to familiarize yourself with the language before you spend money on a text.
[Ouya General] Pkmns:
Thank you for all this info! I'll probably dive in the Kilobolt tutorials as soon as I have some free time, then I'll start thinking about which way to take later (I don't know whether all this is more frightening or exciting :P)
