[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DKT27:
Thanks for the answer.

I might not use any mods or ROMs as of now.

ZR and ZL seem to be priced same here. So I'm leaning towards ZL.

As for Nexus 4, it's good but no microSD card support and ZL seems better.

Thanks again for the rooting issue. However, I read that rooting requires one to change ROMs or something? I'm very much a noob in this so no idea.

About the glass and the scatter proof sheet. One, I want to know whether the glass is actually tough enough to challenge Gorilla Glass or is even near it. I'm scared for the phone hitting the ground and the expensive screen breaking. As for the warranty, see this. The only reason to remove the sheet is, that it's cloth and scratch magnet, which can be fixed by by scratch guard I think.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruchirtrehan:
You don't need any ROM's for rooting, there are many rooting toolkits by DooMLoRD which easily roots a device, and the shatter proof glass is pretty strong (I feel far better than gorilla), my phone has felt many time (XPERIA Z) and nothing happened except a few scratches on the body but nothing on screen or back and I also have removed the scratch proof sheet and I mostly do so with all my XPERIA's it does not voids warranty.

on a 5mp now on Galaxy Nexus and its not too great either and i see the Xperia M has a 5 MP also.

Hate the way Sony skimped on the front cam to only VGA, especially If I finally getting involved in snapchatting and what not it wont be great

I've heard people throw the 8mp camera and software in the same sentence, Im guessing its not the software that causing bad quality images?

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sharingan:
thanks sir but please can you tell me what mistake i did

1 flashed stock 2.3.6 on my ace through odin

2 placed update1 file on sd card and rooted phone by applying update from sd

3 installed cwm

4 flashed battery extender kernel {without mounting anything}

5 rebooted and saw superuser icon disappear

please help me

also before flashing intext+ do i have to mount data and system and after flashing do i have to format sdext and also mount something after that to make script work
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viper The Ripper:
You need an .ext2/3/4 partition (sd-ext)

1. Root your device

2. Install CWM 5.0.2.6 Fixed

3. Flash Battery Extender kernel/ ROM

4. Flashing the script:

>>> mount data

>>> mount system

>>> mount sd-ext

>>> format SD-EXT (YOUR EXTERNAL PARTITION, NOT YOUR SD!)

5. Flash the script!

It should work ;)

I recommend not to use combination of different scripts/tweaks. I tried pure performances x & supercharger v6 on stock & lost data connection for weeks. The same happened with other combos (can't remember which). Flashing stock via odin didn't help either ! So better be careful & don't use any combo. Try them as a lone. They work great.

Now I have micro Sim card from metro PCs in it but it doesn't work... Can not call or text

Please advice if this hot swap can damage phone in a way that it won't work?

Or recognize correct service?

[Galaxy S III Accessories] ShadowCodes:
So working for Samsung technical support I come across a lot of cool accessories from my coworkers.

One accessory I found saw recently that I thought was really cool was a screen protector membrane my coworker had on his galaxy s blaze that mends itself of scratches after being exposed to body heat in your pocket.

I didn't believe him at first so I made him show me and sure enough by the end of the day the screen was free of scratches!

I've been trying to find these bad boys everywhere and I was just wondering if anyone knows the brand name or at least product name for these and if they are available for the galaxy s 3.

Thanks for the help in advance!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] xhozt:
Rubbery feel to the screen ? may just be a zagg or similar.. but if not im interested also ..
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ShadowCodes:
Not really a rubbery feel. The screen kinda looks like gloss finish glass with a slight wave in it.

Kinda looks like hammered metal but you can see through it just fine when phone screen is on like any other good screen protector.

Pretty sure not zagg I already checked those out.

I want one so bad lol

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samzebian:
Hey guys,

if anyone is getting the verizon Note III, there's a promo code that gives you 30% off an upgrade, but idk how to apply it to a preorder, one online rep told me this isn't possible, and I'm just seeing if a supervisor can or has done it for anyone here.

Also, does anyone have any idea when this promo expires? Hopefully it's good til right after the note III comes out.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randpost:
The VERIZON30 Code is impossible to apply to pre-orders or Legacy devices in general. I called customer service to try and get the code applied to my Note 3 order, and they said they can only manually enter a discount amount or they can offer me something else like free accessories or waiving of the activation fee etc. So you can get a % discount depending on the VZ rep and other circumstances after bringing the code to the CSR's attention, but it won't be because they applied the VERIZON30 code to your order.

I ended up getting a battery pack and 2 LG G2 Incipio cases (150.00 worth of accessories) for free when I called. They don't have Note 3 accessories yet so I had to choose other stuff. I also got the activation fee waived thanks to the weekend promotion.

They could have just said no, and I would have been okay with that, but this is what I left with.

This is why I've stayed with Verizon all this time. Customer service always impresses me.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samzebian:
Looks like after a few phone calls, a bit of patience and some threatening to cancel (lol), I was able to get them to honor the 30% discount code on my Note III pre-order.

Gotta love Customer Service! ;)

Now if I could get that activation fee waived plz...:D
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hctimin:
You had better luck than I did. I just got off the phone with them and they didn't know what that code was.Tried to enter it into the system as an upgrade and new device.

Couldn't explain where the coupon originated from, but indicated that other people were successful in apply that coupon. *sigh* Didn't want to risk monkeying around with the pre-order so I left it alone.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirbljm:
Good day people. I recently got the Note 3 and realized this annoying bug. I used the note 2 previously and turned off 3 developer options to make it run faster: "Window Animation Scale", "Transition Animation Scale" and "Animator Duration Scale". However when I turned the 3 options off on my note 3, after some time, the "Transition Animation Scale" will turn itself back on to the default of 1X. The other 2 options remain off. This "Transition Animation Scale" bug is really annoying and I wish to seek help on this matter. Thanks in advance.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirbljm:

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] insanepoet:
Steps to reproduce?

Played around with it for 2-3 hours and I wasn't able to reproduce the issue, Which model are you using, what method did you use to root. Is there a particular amount of time that leads to the Transition Scale reverting or is it possibly when the device is rebooted.

Being unable to reproduce so far I am guessing it's one of three things off the top of my head:

A system application is triggering a conflict requiring the default value.

The change is not being saved in a persistent state (reboot clears it)

A Timeout based on the setting not being applied as the file is in use ? (It's a long shot maybe reboot after change?)

See if you can't narrow down when the setting is returning to default so others can reproduce.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirbljm:

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] insanepoet:
First off relax, demanding help will get you no where especially when you are dealing with a brand new device and an issue that has not been dealt with before.

I'm glad to see you found the camera app is the culprit, i can take a look at it tomorrow and see if I can't find a workaround for the problem. Working on a stock base however our options may be limited. If you are able to reproduce the bug on demand I would also send a report to samsung dot com / support just to get it on their radar (Not saying it will help but hiccups like this usually get addressed in OTA's).

If you have a chance to check before i get back to you see if the change is effected by a reboot (i.e. change settings, reboot, verify settings) might require root to fix the bug. As well can you try another camera app and see if the problem occurs (will let me know if it is something being called from the built in camera apk).

Hopefully we'll get this sorted for you and anyone who runs into it in the future.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirbljm:
Dear Sir Poet. I have done what you instructed me to do, I applied the same developer options settings, rebooted the phone and the settings were verified good.

However, the moment after I use the Camera app, the "Transition Animation Scale" turns on by itself again. I have tried using third-party camera apps and they do not affect the settings in developer options.

It is therefore very very obvious that the Default Camera is causing this instability in developer options settings.

Sir, kindly help us feedback to Samsung regarding this issue so that they will release an OTA update fix.

Your continual help in solving this problem is greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.

a hard case will prevent the phone from bending becasue A LOT OF stretching and pressure will happen when they are in your pocket while you move or sit, also makes it more sturdy and easy(safe) to toss around

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neo3D:
I'm going on vacation at the end of the month and always use my AP WiFi feature on my rooted Galaxy Nexus so we have internet in the hotel on our tablet and laptop.

I just pre-ordered the Galaxy Note 3 and VZ says it's shipping out no later that 10/10.

Does anyone think the genius devs on here will have root on the Note 3 soon after its release on VZ?

My friend has Tmobile and it's really easy for him to switch phones by swapping out the sim card. Is it just as easy to do the same thing with Verizon?

I might consider bringing two phones with me and leaving the Gnex in the hotel for wifi AP and then pop the sim into the Note 3 when we leave.

Any advice would be helpful! :D
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] physicsguymatt:
I, too, use my rooted GNex for wifi when traveling. It's a lifesaver! But correct me if I'm wrong, even though we may not have root right away, won't FoxFi work for tethering in the meantime?

Chainfire needs the firmware to be available so he can offer up a version of his CF-Auto Root method as he has already done for other GN3 models. So we may have something by EOM it depends on how long it takes for the FW to release.

I was not aware that CF Auto-root required an unlocked bootloader to work, that is a PITA.

Looks like an issue with the modem.....first I've ever seen that, but it makes sense as my first thought was it must have something to do with the signal or network, as that's probably all that's different from the phones standpoint.

What model is it? If it's a T999, try flashing a different modem from my thread. (See Sig)

If it continues flash back to stock us in Odin and see if it still happens.
