"Facory reset" is really a misnomer and misleading. All it does is wipe the /data partition (user data). It doesn't affect the actual OS. So the ability to root (or not, in your case), bootloader unlock, etc. is not affected either.

I think what usually happens is the source code is posted by Samsung before an OTA update is rolled out.

Might be worth checking here every so often - http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=search&searchValue=SM-T315

You can change the end value to T310 & T311 to check those models as well.

Hmm... Not sure you can flash those source zips if that's what your referring to? Never actually downloaded one off there before though.

I was just pointing out that usually Samsung uploads something on there beforehand & then an OTA update on the device follows sometime after that. ;)

Got a stock JB S-off unlocked rooted bloody unlocked everything on it today (spent the day trying to get aquainted with the One S) just to find out that the S3 is basically dead meat and no one bothers to sim unlock it. So the question is do i keep it and wait or sell it ?

I live a few miles outside of downtown Detroit and the best I'm able to get is:

DSL Reports Mobile Speed Test:

I'm hoping when I'm directly downtown I get better rates.

I'm in the Cingular network.

I thought I read that in metro areas you can get up to 100kbps.

I run an online radio, and am investigating the possibilites of using the modem link via my laptop to broadcast. Best I can do so far is only a 32kbps stream.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] souleater11:
hello everyone,

I notice that the touch screen of Optimus G is super sensitive that even a single hairline cracks can cause its touch screen glass digitizer to be unresponsive.

Does placing a " tempered glass on top of touch screen a 100 % effective prevention against hair line cracks of the touch screen ?

Note: Tempered glass is like a generic Gorilla glass that serves as a first line of defence against crack glass incidents such as accidental drops. it is not the same as a commercial thin screen protector strip.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] pins2u:
Do we have that kind of screen protector for our phone? I've seen one for other popular phones like iPhone or Galaxy, but not for us.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] souleater11:
Just my 2 cents,

Nexus 4 is a variant of LG optimus g e970 and they have premium tempered glass (maybe it will fit in our device) otherwise we could only settle for generic brands.

You can root but will trip knox, so no warrenty. If thats cool check out CF-auto root method and pick the apropriet 4.4 version..
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antique_sonic:
Root is always possible. If firmware is 4.3 MJ3 & above, you are not able to have a safe rooting without tripping the KNOX. Don't worry, this trip is only for warranty. No other issue other than warranty is voided.

The easiest way to root, is always chainfire method, which is mentioned earlier ==> CF-Autoroot.

Just grab the latest file from his thread (under Note 3 original Android development). Choose a correct device for you. N9005 must use N9005, N900 must use N900, and vice versa.

Read carefully on the instructions on how to root (easy to follow and to understand).

Good luck.

Sorry if this has been asked before, I did have a bit of a search and could not find a direct answer.

So far I am loving my nexus 5, currently using the latest build of omni rom. However I would like to increase the volume output as even with my BT headphones on max it is just not loud enough when there is a bit of ambient noise, for example when I am at the gym, the main time I use my phone as audio device.

I have seen some kernels that mention sound related things but have no idea what is best or if it actually does what I want? Could someone recommend some options for me please?

Also what is everyones thoughts on the quality of the audio output in general? I have come from a One X+ and so far I feel that my old handset may have been better but without a more controlled side by side test this is just speculation really.

Anyway thanks in advance!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
I don't think there's much you can do if you're using Bluetooth. Afaik this isn't controlled by the kernel, rather the bluetooth stack itself.

Hello,

I am currently using a galaxy S3 i747m which is rooted and unlocked running 4.1.1. I believe I used this guide (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1739426) in order to do the root.

I want to update my phone to 4.3 while retaining the root (or rerooting afterwards). I've done plenty of research and haven't found a solid guide to help me. Most seem to assume I would be on 4.1.2 or already on a stock 4.3. I don't have a solid amount of confidence with these tasks so I'm too scared to just try and flash a 4.3 ROM without a confirmation that it will work. Kies tells me in can update the phone but I am also worried about that.

What is the best course of action for me? I wouldn't be writing here unless I had already done my research and was still unsure.

Also a side question, I'm not sure how the phone was unlocked (software or code), if it was unlocked via software, will I lose this by updating to 4.3?

Thanks for the help!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
The easiest way to upgrade would be to use Odin to flash a pre-rooted ROM. However, you will lose your data and apps.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] theXact:
Thank you for the response! Do you know where I can get a good pre-rooted ROM? Would the 4.3 one in my previous link work? Would the Kies backup be sufficient in restoring my data? Or would I need to use something like Titanium Backup?

Thanks again for all the help!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Upgrading will not re-lock the phone.

You can use one of the pre-rooted 4.3 ROMs you linked. Personally, I stayed away from 4.3 as it will introduce Knox which may cause problems in the future.

I haven't used Kies for anything so I'm not sure how good it will work. Also, it's possible your apps may not work when restored under 4.3.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] theXact:
Thanks again for all the help. I went ahead with the update and it actually went better than expected. All my data was preserved including apps, media, settings etc. Its just now at 4.3 and rooted!

I've been at this for almost 10 hours now and i need a solution.

[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] han_si:
Hey really appreciate the reply.

So I get through everything correctly till step 13, i run the lockedualrecovery 2.7.92, i run the install.bat file, runs smoothly till it says waiting for device to reboot, where it hangs for a while. I end up unplugging phone, force the phone off, and turn it on again and plug the usb back in, and then it says installation successful...(I have read somewhere the kernel gets the phone to reboot once rooted, but i've waited over an hour and it doesnt reboot, this is why i plugged it off, force it off then on again for the installation successful to come up)

I get through step 14,15 and 16.

Once in step 17, in Philz touch recovery, when i try to format it says error in formatting and has all these errors again when i try to factory reset through Philz Touch recovery. I then try and access my external_sd but my memory card is not readable through it (checked its not in exFAT, it was in FAT32 which is the default windows format).

So i end up booting in TWRP recovery. Tried and installing the 3 files in order that way. Rebooted it in from TWRP and the phone is just dead, Doesn't turn on whatsoever. However i am able to repeat the processes again. Repeated processes almost 5 times now, no luck.

Is my Kernel dead? is there a kernel i can flash to fix so i can restore to factory settings? or is it totally different issue. I hope phone isnt bricked.

Please need your help. Thanks heaps.

His description is "the bottom corner is cracked and there's a crack through the screen (probably doesn't mean a hole through the screen, just a crack going horizontally or vertically)"

Is this worth fixing and repairing? Or is a new tablet the best solution? Just general answers since I don't know the full extent of the damage yet.

Thanks.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] mdamaged:
Well, it's 88 bucks to buy the part from etradesupply (if digitizer and glass, if just glass, then it's less but then you must use a heat gun and hope you can do it yourself), if you can do it yourself, it may be worth it, else, buy a new one, and either sell the old one for parts or keep it for extra parts. You get a new one, if shopping locally, you can try and see the serial and date of mfg and maybe get a good batch, and you get a new warranty to boot.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] datallboy:
I'll check out the damage tonight and determine if I can fix it. I've never opened up a mobile device, but I know enough about computers I may be able to fix it. My brother has also fixed iPods for people.

Know of any sites that might buy nexus 7 parts? Maybe just eBay or something?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] mdamaged:
Yeah, ebay seems to be the ticket.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] datallboy:
Photos if the damage. Maybe fixable. Touch doesn't work so probably needs digitizer.

Input on if its do-able?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] LinearEquation:
A cracked LCD display and digitizer is very doable. You just need to know how and be able to work on small electronics. It will take some finesse. Only you know if you can physically do it. If you do take on the project you will want to mind the glass shards. You'll play hell getting them out of your fingers.

Edit: I always recommend getting the digitizer flex ribbon as well because the can fracture.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] datallboy:
I've only dealt with PC components, but it should be easy enough. Find some step BG step instructions, watch videos, learn about the hardware of the Nexus 7.

What's the best deal on a replacement kit?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] datallboy:
I've decided instead of fixing it myself I'll sell the one I have and buy a refurbished one. I don't have the time to fix it and I'd much rather not risk $130 and it not work in the end.

What would a reasonable asking price be for say eBay?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] LinearEquation:
The screen and digitizer is the most expensive and thus most sought after part when buying a parts tablet/phone. If you find someone who would have a use for harvested chips you might get a bit more for it. Just my opinion but if you get, IDK, 40 you're doing good.

Edit: I think 20-25 might be a reasonable eBay price though.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] namhuy:
I can't see the pictures, BTW if the cost to fix is more than 60-70% of new one, you should just sell it "as it" or for part on eBay, and buy a new one.

From reading this forum i've gathered that the AKU that is out for Windows Mobile 5 will sort the phonebook sharing and possibly sort out the connection issue as well but what I haven't gathered is which rom's do what. I'm not going to ask which rom is best as I can see it's not as simple as that, but if someone could suggest a few roms that might be suitable for an uk o2 sim card and will have the aku. I'm not fussed about it having extra software in, i only want it to work with my carkit and do push mail with exchange 2003 sp2.

Android isn't compareable to windows in ram usage. Your tab will run smoother if 1gig is used instead of 600mb, because some data is still in the memory which means faster app starts...

IMHO a memory monitor could mess up with normal memory management, because if it is set to a too restrictive policy it could try to free memory that OS will reuse at once, and so on.

I would suggest trying to use your tablet without the memory monitor, then compare the behavior.
