Thanks a lot.

I will definitely inbox you or something when i find a solution for this.
[General Monetization] Booink:
You don't need to deduct sales tax for foreign countries unless your country has a treaty with the buyer's company. In practice, this means that any EU merchant needs to withhold sales tax for any buyer in the EU, or in the US, for certain buyers in the US (depends on state).

For me (EU based), this means everyone has 21% (EU) or 0% sales tax rate. I don't think this applies to India at all, so except for the domestic buyers, you don't charge any sales tax.

Disclaimer: call your tax department for the final answer.
[General Monetization] abmantis:
Do you have to create invoices/bills for your tax authorities? If you do, do you issue them to Google or to the individual end users?
[General Monetization] Booink:
Here we just report the revenue totals to the tax authorities, but it's up to us to prove the numbers are correct. For that, we have the detailed purchase log from wallet, it includes a separate column for tax, and per purchase, an unique id.

That's good enough for our accountant. It's not like we're a restaurant where you can under report to evade tax, Google pays out to the cent exact.

Next year the situation is going to change though, direct to consumer will be charged at the local tax rate. With a ton of countries in EU, Google decided to handle VAT themselves and issue payments with tax withheld, so all Google Play revenue will be taxed at 0% effectively.
[General Monetization] mikereidis:
I have just noticed tax deductions in my Play/Wallet merchant account.

My income is thus dropping about 20%. This sucks !

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sharkbait265:
I have a Verizon GS3 SCH-I535 and am looking for a firefox os port. The closest thing I could find was a was for the GT-I9300(international). If I try to flash the GT-I9300 rom is there the possibility I might brick my phone? I guess my main question is, are ROMs model specific or will one GS3 rom generally work on any model GS3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
There is a 100% guarantee that you will hard brick your Verizon S3 if you flash a rom meant for another model.

Yep, I suspect in 24-48 hours you'll see flashable zips to load if you are lucky enough to have CWM/TWRP.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] KryptosXLayer2:
And it would be REALLY great if they were just developer bases, not these full, all out themed and screwed with ROMs.... we need more developer base ROMs being posted and distributed to the masses just being rooted, debloated, deodexed, zip-aligned, init.d support, and a few other tweaks!

Here's the link to SAMMobile's post about the leak:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] AxAtAx:
Seeing how you have mentioned this, I am taken Vision X exactly to the stock only route. It is getting to be a royal pain in the butt to theme these quick releases over and over...

Vision X is fixing to be a lite tweaked stock rom....

and on this KitKat 4.4, finishing the build right now.....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] KryptosXLayer2:
and THANK YOU for doing so! Leave the theming to the individual, keep it light and stock, and you'll have yourself a winner for sure! All the mods in the world don't mean crap if it keeps randomly rebooting, FC'ing apps without any explanation, and getting bogged down for no reason....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] AxAtAx:
Let me ask, is there a demand for the stock over the themed? Because, when I build my roms, I run my stock version, and build the themed for the people...so if there is a demand, I sure would go that route....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] hednik:
Honestly after seeing how well Goldeneye and SHOstock have gone over here....stock, tweaked is where it's at now days. I know Venom makes his builds but most like the stock look and will use aroma type theme somewhere else. I know themes and png hunting was a pain for me when I made mine. Just wasn't worth it ha
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] DeadlySin9:
I've seen some demand and even wondered why stock bases weren't being made. Stock base means you can focus on debugging the ROM and not themes and if you're like me you use xposed and other things to customize everything anyways. If anything you could still make the themed files a flashable add on or something.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] KryptosXLayer2:
Don't let me dictate what should or shouldn't be done, everything I'm suggesting are just my personal opinions, but I think developers bases are the best things about TouchWiz, and use those over all the crazy themed / modded ROMs any day! When you do too much to a ROM, there's always going to be problems, and the number of posts on a ROM thread gets to be so long not with people stopping by to say "thanks," but to say "this is broken, why and what do I need to do to fix it?" Again, just my two pennies!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] AxAtAx:
Thank you everyone, I have now the information I need, Vision is going strictly stock. I will get bombed at first, but, it will die down, and it makes for a more stable, clean, crisp, and faster rom. So, let me start with this 4.4 KitKat....it is going to be pure stock here in a few....

---------- Post added at 02:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:56 PM ----------

And your opinion is valuable to me. So thanks....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] KryptosXLayer2:
I'm sure I don't need to tell you this, but it really doesn't matter what people think, only what they do, and if you drop this new 4.4.2 leak as a stock base, I'll be the first one to support it! Good luck, looking forward to it!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Phoneguy589:

Wi-Fi worked fine until just now when I found it wasn't connected to the hotspot. When I tried to connect, it said "failed to connect to network". Tried deleting /data/misc/wifi and now it just stuck at "searching for Wi-Fi networks..."

Tried Wi-Fi tethering/mobile data/bluetooth and all works fine which probably means the hardware is fine. Also tried reflashing the ROM and no luck. :(

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tormeister:
Very well, I have an international S3 (i9300) with the SlimBean 4.3 build 2 installed. It was working flawlessly, no bugs.

10 minutes after I put it in my pocket yesterday, I picked it up and it was stuck on the boot up screen, and it was quite hot. I tried rebooting it multiple times and waiting for a while, nothing happened. I have ClockworkMod Recovery 6.0.3.6 installed and working, so I tried wiping cache and dalvik cache and booting up, without sucess. It's stuck on the boot up screen and it gets a little bit hot after a while.

My question is, how do I backup my internal SD card data?

Every single time

I've wiped the device I used to move the pictures to my PC and made TitaniumBackup backups to the external SD card beforehand, so I could change ROMs and get all the stuff back. Now it stopped working, how should I proceed? I have important pictures and data in some apps...

tl;dr i9300 stopped booting out of nowhere, CWM Recovery is working, how do I save my camera photos and all data from apps?

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: Solved this by saving my data to the external SD card with AROMA File Manager, nothing lost!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
Easiest solution is format system partition and reflash the exact rom you already have, unless the data partition is corrupt this should enable your phone to boot again.

Failing that you'll need to investigate if ADB pull will work in recovery/download mode.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tormeister:
Just tried formatting system and flashing the same ROM, it is still not booting

What can I possibly do to save my pictures? I'll look into ADB pull, is there anything else?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
Flash philz recovery with odin, transfer data using aroma file manager, or custom backup, or usb mount internal sd.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tormeister:
I was googling and I had found about AROMA File Manager 10 minutes ago, but if didn't, I would because of this post. Thank you so much!

I was so damn worried about losing my stuff... I copied everything to the external SD card and now I can erase everything from the device and change ROMs safely. :good:

Hey everyone. Been having issues for the past two months with my HTC One. Yesterday my wife surprised me with a z1 she bought me at the Sony store. She knew I wanted a z1. Problem is I'm on At&the and the Sony store only sells the C6902, non LTE version.

Loving this phone but.wondering if I should return it and buya C6906 from an import vendor?

Is the C6906 going to be exactly the same as far as software, android version updates etc as my C6902? Like I said I love this phone just don't have LTE.

Thanks

Kitkat 4.4 General Information Thread​

This thread is to keep you informed about 4.4 Leak

Commonly Asked Questions

Whill this trigger Knox?

Answer: NO

Will this update erase my sdcard

NO! as long as you just upgrade it won't, wiping data/factory reset will if you're on stock recovery

Can i root this leak:?:

I assume CF-Root works, Kingo Root, Vroot doesn't

How is the performance

Seems faster when scrolling, UI still lags but less

Any huge changes?

Not quite, this isn't final version so i don't expect it to be fully updated UI.

What's New

New Wallpaper, New OS Version, Camera Icon is now on right bottom corner,New Download Icon

Any Note III Goodies?

Sadly in this version we don't seem to get any, not camera related filters, not lockscreen effect (which can be ported) but i assume people will work on that

Is this good enough as daily driver?

Geeh? the leak has just rolled out and ya keep wan't to know about this info?

Yes it's a daily driver

Looks like the guys over at sammobile got their hands on an official (leaked) i9505 kitkat (4.4.2) touchwiz rom.
