Note: It needs root..

Hit thanks button if i helped you :)
[Galaxy S III Mini Themes and Apps] limyuyang:
Actually WhatsApp Plus can do this job too. And it has more features than whatsapp toolbox. ;)
[Galaxy S III Mini Themes and Apps] was12:
There is no need for toolbox, just turn off data while reading messages. ;)

The ones I thought were dead pixels all were specks of dust. Not that im gonna slam the screen to try to shake them like a vending machine with a loose bag of skittles, but for some reason I have a feeling a lot of these devices have dust in between them from the factory.

Same deal with my iPad 3. it seems to be more and more common.

I dont know that I'm going to exchange mine either, everything else seems to be great about mine. no loose buttons or anything, and i think the vibrate is weak but i just turned of haptic feedback and problem solved.
[Nexus 5 General] Enddo:
i think you may be onto something. I had what looked like one dead pixel kind of in the middle. So, when I start turning the device to the right in order to change the viewing angle, it comes to a point where I dont see the spot anymore, it's like I can see under the spec of dust and it seems to look like there is no bad pixel.

Then again, I dont know if me changing the viewing angle makes that dead pixels disappear, I would think I should still be able to see it though, but I can't.

I've heard nothing, either here or on the OcUK forum, which is almost all UK users. Have you looked on the Vodafone forum?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thunderstorm654:
I'm on Vodafone too, got the 5 on upgrade so they gave me a new sim too. I can connect alright to 4g, it's a bit flakey where my home is (outside the m25) but fine at work (inside m25 but not central london, sort of south west!). When I'm connected it's pretty fast.

If anything though, I noticed when I lose 4g it tends to shove me onto 2g and not 3g :/ Check the coverage you're supposed to get on http://www.vodafone.co.uk/our-network-and-coverage/uk-coverage-map/ then if should be ok (as it worked before for you) give them a shout.

Could either be vodafone being rubbish (happens to me a lot anyway) or a dodgy phone.

Edit: attached a screenshot of my current download/upload speeds- they're not that brilliant, it seems to vary a lot. the best i've seen is 26mbps down.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noTHINGface:
I just checked the voda site and they make claim that there are some issues in my area. I'll survey the office, see who else is on Voda and see if they're getting stuck on 2G.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chenga28:
On Vodafone pay monthly (in contract for another 3 months) , tomorrow will move to 4g got 7 days to test it out. Live in London and coverage should be ok. One other thing did u get the sky sport offer package? And does it work, I think sky is doing some updates to make it work with N5.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thunderstorm654:
I went for spotify premium as I have sky sports at home anyway. But my friend also has the N5 and he said sky go isn't working yet... I'm sure they'll update soon hopefully.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saayinla:
Hi Ordered another on Vodafone 4G and just got the phone and sim 30 minutes ago. I noticed the Signal was showing as LTE prior to downloading the 139MB forced update and then when it restarted it was showing 4G, So could it be the case that This is the same handset in the states or at least the band setup is at software level ?

Also The Speed I am getting on 4g is really disappointing because I was looking forward to getting more and also, I disable my Data connection but noticed that Wifi even though showing as connected is not able to browse the web or do anything data related. This is worrying.

Attached is my speedtest, I will be doing further test at every hour and will post the results as well.

Also the Postcode where I did this test is given here : TW8 9AX
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thunderstorm654:
Haha, that's weird, you're not far from where I am. I'm currently in TW16. I just tried it again, and got 22.21mbps down and 14.91 up. I've never seen an upload speed as fast as yours but obviously we care about download more!! weird.

When I'm at home though (GU24) the 4g is a lot flakier. in fact the signal full stop has been dropping left right and centre last night, it was fine the first couple days but last 24 hours have been dodgy. I can't work out if it's the area or the phone. On my N4 i had to force it to 2g cos the 3g was so bad, so I even tried that with the N5, but the signal still kept randomly dropping then reconnecting. Frustrating. Don't know if it's phone, vodafone, or both!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saayinla:
I guess its fingers crossed then. I ll know when I get home tonight as there is Vodafone Mast right on top of the building I live in SE20. SO hopefully that shouldn't be too bad, but this wifi issue is not very comforting.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saayinla:

Got switched over this afternoon to 4g, in the City London very fast, when I was walking home done another speed test hitt alomst 47 down and 15 up.

When I got new calling from my contacts, I could not see contact names on calling window, I could not see contact names on SMS mobile number.

How can I fix this bug?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MemoryThief:
Please bear with me on this one...

I'm on vacation atm in Mexico. I called Tmo before I left, and asked them whether I could use my phone while roaming as they boast about with their free data and texting international advertisements... The nice but confused lady told me that it would work fine, and then proceeded to tell me I should unlock my phone and use wifi calling to make things free/cheaper. She told me that data and texting would work and would be free. I also agreed to have her send me an email with instructions how to unlock the phones we had... Then I go on vacation.

It's important to note that Before I left, I also installed CM and CWM so i'd have something to tinker with while on vacation. This seemed to be my only mistake. While on vacation I notice I can't make any connectivity to the cell sites and/or use data nor text nor make calls at the $.20 rate. So I again contact Tmo via their live support and learn this:

I'm on a grandfathered 'contract' plan and I can't actually benefit from free data nor texts... and that data will cost me 15$ a Mb and texts are $.50 each as well as voice being around $1.80 a min. This being the most rediculous thing I've ever heard tell them to not enable international abilitys and proceed to get a TelCel sim card to use a cheaper and considerably cheaper service that will have a local phone number.

Having the email with the Tmo unlock codes I put the sim in and try to unlock. I can't unlock my S3 and contact Tmo again to learn that if I fail enough attempts that the phone will lock itself and be unable to unlock, without knowing this I tried it several times in the TelCel office and afterwards a few times with support before they told me... because CM doesn't have the Tmo applications to talk to the service provider to actually unlock the phone... I learn from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2023709&highlight=recording That you must be on a stock rom, or a rom derived from the stock updates in order to unlock your phone...

I don't want to go back to stock because that will erase CWM and my CM rom and since i'm on vacation without my computer I want to just flash a stock derived rom; I noticed that people on that thread had luck unlocking their phone with the Frosty rom(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1874063) however after looking for it the link to the most recent download is broken and I'm not sure what other rom to use... Since i'm using an ASOP rom right now I can't unlock nor use my new mexican sim, and I would like any stock derived rom that would suffice without removing my CWM so I can revert back to the backup CM I want to create... What options do i have? The smaller the better...

Thanks, I'm tired and desperate...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
I'm assuming you have the T999 model right?

Just about any stock based Rom will do, as long as it has the stock dialer. The key to this is the modem. You cannot be on baseband MD5 or MJ4. It MUST be an earlier one. LJC would work fine.

So check your baseband and if it's one of those two, flash the modem. Otherwise try grabbing S3rx Rom.

Do a nandroid back up.

Flash Rom.

Unlock.

Restore nandroid.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Few Points you should know.

1. In order to successfully unlock, your phone has be registered to T-Mo Tower with T-Mo Sim card. Otherwise the Unlock code will not work. I have repeatedly tested this theory on variety of devices and with several T-Mo Tech Help. It has been confirmed.

2. Once the Phone gets LOCKED after repeated attempts, you need a Personal ID Number that's unique to your phone. Its assigned by the carrier upon activation. It is also commonly referred to as PUK Code. If at this time your phone is actually locked and no longer accepting that Unlock code, its time to get your PUK Code from T-Mo. If you mess with that code or enter incorrect PUK Code then the phone will be hard locked to T-Mo with absolutely no chance of unlock.

3. To your present Dilemma, I'd take a nandroid, use Root66 Rom from Doc's Signature, then try to unlock. ( If it works great if not then I wouldn't attempt too many times. ) Once unlocked, restore your Nandroid.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MemoryThief:
Just to make sure, being safe...

Thank you both for the help, There is lots of good information here, however I've a few more questions...

I'm using a T999 aye, and I'm on baseband LJA so based on what you said it should work fine... I'm also downloading the S3rx rom from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2326763 Which the new version says: S3Rx T-Mobile T999 UVDMD5 TW 4.1.2 Premium Suite, which I'm assuming is based off of MD5 which you said I should stay away from... - does this not matter because I'm not flashing the modem? Will this still work fine?

I also tried going with what Perseus71 said, going with the Root66 rom that Doc had in his sig, however it was in .tar.md5 format for Odin which I can't really use right now being on a shared computer. I would need it in .zip format to use in CWM nandroid which I am unable to find one. I made a nandroid backup of my current OS build and it should be fine, and I am going to try the S3rx .zip once it downloads on this super slow internet I have access to. I'm not sure about mobile odin however I read and fear that if i try it, it will erase my SDcard with my backups on it, and overwrite my CWM being unable to return to the nandroid backup I made.

Will that S3rx work to unlock from the provided .zip? or MUST I use Odin or mobile Odin?

Thank you two, I really appreciate your help...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Md5 is fine if it's just the Rom. Flash the md5 modem and you can't unlock.

I love Mobile Odin personally! Just read up.on chainfires thread for it and you'll be fine. But just flashing the Rom will work too.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MemoryThief:
It worked like a charm!

I used that S3rx rom, put the unlock code provided by Tmo and presto! Worked great, thanks for the help!

One happy camper now~ or Vacationer... ;p

Thanks DocHoliday77 you're the man, and thanks for the other unlock info Perseus71!

I appreciate the help!

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rozroz:
hello there :)

i was wondering on this issue.

the snapdragon 800 supposedly can do real 720P slo-mo at 120fps. right?

well, i checked many YT videos of the NOTE 3 alongside the A7's similar slo-mo (apple's 5S),

and it DOES NOT LOOK 720P at all. it looks pixelated, or better say, UPSCALED 480p.

while the A7 produce a video that's really usable, and really looks like genuine 720P.

why is that? from the specs i read on the SD800 it clearly says it HAS that capability.

this is a feature i just gotta have in my next phone and i want an Android phone with proper screen size.

any thoughts on the matter?

thanks!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orbitech:
Hmm I think you got it completely wrong.. ;)

http://blog.gsmarena.com/the-apple-iphone-5s-is-not-actually-recording-720p-slo-mo-video/
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rozroz:
yea i saw it, thanks.

whether of not this is true, i could see with my own eyes from the many YT 720P videos that it's vastly superior to any other rivals with this option.

mainly the Note 3.

so they say the 5S is not genuine 720p? so it means the Note 3 is even less than 480p? i need FACTS.

and my eyes tell me the 5S looks like 720P. and the NOTE 3 looks like an upscaled 480p

please look in YT and tell me i'm wrong?

the 5S videos are usable to me. the NOTE 3 aren't.

so, why is that?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orbitech:
I don't have any reason to not believe you but.

To me it looks like genuine 720p. GSM arena a respectable site says it's genuine, while the 5s is not, so..

It seems to me maybe you have individual issues with it. Did you try flashing the APK camera again or another rom maybe this will solve your issue?

Worst case scenario is that you have a faulty camera and you need to give it for a repair?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rozroz:
you misunderstood me.

i don't own a Note 3. i am looking for an Android device that can do a decent 720p slo-mo,

and from all the latest snapdragon's out there, the Note is the only one that claims to do a real 720p slo-mo.

i looked at many comparisons videos on youtube, downloaded them and studied them.

conclusion: the 5S is doing at least a x2 better job, whether it's fake or not.

if you could upload a sample of a 120fps slo-mo from your Note 3 and let me study it, i might be proven wrong.

but from MANY samples on YT, my eyes tell me a different story. please check for yourself and tell me.

(i'm not allowed to paste links yet, sorry)

btw - the gsm arena themselves say that they took a 720p video (NOT slo-mo) from the Note 3 and compared it to the 5S slo-mo, so obviously they didn't compare it right imo.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orbitech:
Ok I will be Cpt Obvious but... Do not trust YT. Or the internet samples from the vast majority of YT channels. I only read respectable sites and not the biased stories of every guy that posts or reposts the same videos with unproven or unscientific or biased methods.

Beyond all that, logic says a smartphone that can shoot 4K video @30fps and 1080p@60fps certainly can do 720p [MENTION=512813]120[/MENTION]fps. Especially with a processor like the S800. ;)

If I have some time to upload a video I will do it for you, but I can't make any promises.

Read the article again carefully. They did that since iPhone 5s does not support regular 720p video . Also the method is more than legit if you follow their logic. I am sorry to say that again but I would take the GSM Arena's findings any day over a YT's channel.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rozroz:
i completely agree with you on that.

that's why i asked you for a genuine sample ;)

really hope you could make the effort (or anyone else here for that matter :D )

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neoKushan:
This is going to sound like a stupid question, but how do you set the frame rate? I can set the resolution to 720p but I see no options for framerate.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rozroz:
from what i remember you can only record a "slow motion" option.. no? ( i don't won a Note 3, sorry).
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neoKushan:
I'm not seeing anything like that anywhere though.

EDIT: Never mind, found it!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orbitech:
Once you choose the video resolution you open the "gear" menu and select the recording mode from a videocam icon that is there. There is no 30/60/120, just normal,fast,slow/smooth/limit for MMS options,depending on the video resolution you choose.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neoKushan:
Thanks, I managed to find the options. There are actually some other options as well, you can set 1/2, 1/4 or 1/8 (default).

I've made two quick recordings of me picking up a pen and dropping it, one in slow-mo (1/8) and one at regular 720p. There's a definite difference in quality, I think.

Rather than upping them to youtube, here are the files straight from the device for a better comparison:

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pande123:
He's not kidding. I think many people can't tell. It does indeed look pixelated and i'm here in Singapore. I showed my friend and she can't tell, i wish everyone in the world can't tell so we can all just live a big lie but it's pretty obvious there if u compare it with another 720p at 30fps :p

I'm just surprise that there isn't too many mentioned about it. :laugh: Sad to say, cos of this issue, i haven't been doing any 120fps video cos of the bad quality, a feature i was really excited over nothing. I wish Samsung would fix it though, if they even think it's a problem to begin with.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pande123:
I know! I haven't once use it to take a video that i can upload but i'm thankful for the 60fps FHD. That one works really well :D
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] admir83x:
There are three modes for slow-mo.

If you select slow-mo 1/2 videos are recorded at true 720p - 120fps (quality is same as with regular 720p)

If you select 1/4 or 1/8 slo-mo (slower movements) videos are recorded at 240/480 fps and resolution is definitely lower (probably 480p upscaled) and you could clearly see difference in quality as well as pixelation.

Try recording at 1/2!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pande123:
Tried. Quality looks better but i'm pretty sure that's not 120fps? Cos it's almost the same speed as a normal 30fps. Regardless, i think it's really poor. I hate to say this but iPhone 5S one looks way better even though it's not true 720p. And it can actually vary the speed, which is really nice.

Weird thing is the FHD 60fps look so much better that perhaps they should go for 120fps at FHD :P
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NavDragan:
I have the same problem.I would like to record 720p at 1/8.Isn't there any third party app that can help us or does it have something to do with hardware limitations?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rozroz:
many thanks!

watched the slo-mo.

yea, definitely not 720p for 120fps.

5S wins heavily.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andrewtst:
After seen your post, I go try out the slow motion.

They is 3 settings on Slow Motion

x 1/2 - Extremely smooth and clear, it looks 720P to me.

x 1/4 - A bit pixelate.

x 1/8 - Too pixelate.

Try switch to x 1/2, you will get an awesome output and I find this is the best slow motion, others is way too slow. It looks 120fps to me when using x 1/2.

By the way, I am running latest UK MJ7 firmware.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rozroz:
no, i'm sorry but you are wrong.

if the regular playing speed runs at 30fps,

then 60fps is 1/2 speed. ok?

since I specifically need 120fps i have no use for 1/2 speed.

but thanks!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andrewtst:
Not sure what theory you have, the 1/2, 1/4, 1/8 is the slow down speed, had nothing to do with fps. All records at 120fps but it strip down to different slow motion effect.

Samsung still did well in 1/2 slow motion effect, but not that great on 1/4 and 1/8, probably it just can't do, by the way, speed of 1/4, especially 1/8 is way too slow.

Normal playback and record can at 60fps as well. Did you ever know all Blu-ray is set at 60fps? where DVD format is set at 30fps (more specific 29.97fps).
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rozroz:
i understand ^^^^ but i just addressed the 1/2 speed issue. full speed is 30fps.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noteworthy:
I have also noticed that the quality of the 120 fps slow motion varies considerably between 1/2,1/4 and 1/8 speed.Half speed definitely yields the best quality and looks 720p.The video quality in 1/8 speed is not terrible but most definitely does not look 720p with edges of objects jagged and not smooth.

I did some tests and it shows that 1/2 speed is actually 60 fps and not 120. 1/8 speed is 120 fps slow motion.

Although 1/8 speed doesn't look 720p,the details of the video states it is 1280 x 720.What is going on Samsung?The slow motion on the iPhone 5S is much sharper and smoother.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rozroz:
Yes you are.100% correct, they just write 720p but the specific 120fps slow is Sd resolution.

So glad I decided to get the HTC One that basically has the same quality 120fps :D
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noteworthy:
It doesn't appear the iPhone 5S is true 720P at 120 fps either but upscaled 480P but it sure does look a heck of a lot better than the Note 3 120 fps slo mo.

I think it is why the 1/2 speed mode looks so much better...because it is true 720P/60fps played back at 30 fps speed.

Right now I am hoping the 1/8 speed 120 fps is true 720P but there is a software glitch which can be fixed.If the snapdragon can do 1080P at 60 fps then it is capable of 720P at 120 fps.

---------- Post added at 02:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:56 AM ----------

I don't think the HTC One is 720P.A quick google search indicates it to be 768x432.

---------- Post added at 02:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:18 AM ----------

1/2 speed is unfortunately 60 fps and not 120 fps.That explains why slo mo vids at 1/2 speed processes much quicker than ones at 1/8 speed because it only has half as many frames to process.
