[Pebble] SferaDev:
The final dates are near and the Nerdy Pigs want to play with the Training dummies. Just yesterday I presented the first preview.

But since then loads of features came across:

- Nerdy Pig #1: Current IP, we all like to know what IP we are on!

- Nerdy Pig #2: GitHub server status, what if someone DDoS it!

- Nerdy Pig #3: Random memes, courtesy of AutoMeme

Hello Everyone!!

I have recently been researching into the "camera" criteria of smartphones. And I found that there are pretty awesome smartphones with great cameras out there.

So, I just thought I'd make a list about them. And of course, this is my list, your thoughts on this issue might vary.

Number 5: It's the HTC One. It's supposed to be the best android smartphone out there, and it really is! The camera is awesome too! The UI is pretty basic and simple and it has some good color saturation...

Thanks for the link and the contribution.... There are 3 threads already established that are devoted to discussions about devices, please read, and if necessary, discuss in one of these threads: The what should I buy thread or the The Device Suggestion Thread or the The Device Comparison Thread.

There are also several other discussion threads that you probably should review to help you. They are What phone do you wish you had? or

[General Questions and Answers] FernandoRocker:
So, I live in Mexico. There is a company called Movistar (Telefonica in EU) and I have one of their pre-paid plans (I use a Nexus 5).

The pre-paid plan is the equivalent of $15 US dollars every 30 days. You just go to any convenience store or a big retail store and you pay at the register.

Well, my pre-paid plan offers me:

500 minutes to any company, USA and Canada numbers included.

100 SMS to any any company.

Unlimited minutes and SMS to any other Movistar phone.

Unlimited access to WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter and Gmail.

250MB of data.

And for some strange reason, I can stream Spotify too, even if I use the 250MB.

Well, after I use the 250MB (in like a day), everytime I want to access, for example, a website, I get redirected to a Movistar page that says that I consumed the 250MB. OK, that's fine. Perfectly normal.

Obviously I can still use Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter, Gmail, both apps and website versions.

But, most of the Google services still work. Keep, Drive, Docs, Maps, most of the syncing too (no YouTube).

But I also have HotSpot Shield installed ($25 US dollars per year) and if I'm connected to the VPN, I get absolutely unlimited Internet.

How? Why does that happens? I'm not complaining, I'm just curious.

You could test another rom. Some have this bug.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ElectroJoe:
I'm extremely new at rooting and flashing roms, so please excuse my ignorance. I have a Verizon Note 3 SM-900V. I'm running Android 4.4.2 and my Baseband version is NC4. I've rooted it using"TowelRoot" and have installed Safestrap 3.72. I've booted into recovery partitioned slot 1 and wiped it. Then I installed HyperdriveRLS7.zip I hit reboot after it says it's finished installing the rom. Whenever I try to boot into the rom (slot 1), my screen goes black and my blue LED light stays on. I also tried flashing the rom named "hltevzw.Jellybeans.zip" and it does the same thing. Am I doing something wrong or is anything incompatible with the other? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kinstre11:
First of all you need to know that you cannot use rom slots on NC4 only the stock slot. You can use the stock slot to flash custom roms.

Second you need to update you firmware to the so-called unified firmware which is simply what you currently have and the NC2 kernel which can be found here. Just follow the instructions and you'll be good to go.

Third you should upgrade to Safestrap 3.75 found here.

If you have soft bricked your phone (this will be the case if after pulling the battery you cannot boot into Safestrap, you'll need to flash the stock firmware via odin which can be found here, reroot, and then follow the above directions.

Now once you get all this taken care of you can flash a custom rom. Any rom based on NC2/NC4 will work, however any rom based on any earlier firmware will not work and may softbrick your phone, Jellybeans being one of them. Make sure you read the OP (Original Post) before flashing anything. Know what you are flashing, if you are unsure there are many many forum posts to read through that are full of info.

If you have any other questions just ask.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ElectroJoe:
Many Thanks!

Hey Everyone,

I'm currently running

[ROM][TW4.3][MK3] ヅ Wicked Sensations Rom

as my daily driver.

I am now considering moving to a KitKat 4.4.x ROM. I've done a bit of research and I've narrowed it down to the following:

1. -

CandyKat 4.4.4

2. -

**C-RoM** -***4.4.4***

3. -

[ROM] [4.4.x] CyanFox Rom [OFFICIAL]

Now, for a few questions/points:

- Will I have any compatibility issues moving to one of these ROMs, coming from Wicked Sensations TW4.3/MK3?

- Do I have to flash a special version of either the Kernel or Modem to make these work correctly?

- Does anyone know if there are any glaring issues with these ROMs, more specifically, Bluetooth issues?

- As usual, looking for a ligh-weight, yet powerful and customizable, kick-ass ROM.

- I love the way that CandyKat uses the Aroma installer for custom theme options, that's pretty awesome.

- Any thing that I should consider before moving to one of these ROMs?

- Any feedback from those that are currently using one of these ROMs or perhaps suggestions on another ROM that I should also consider?

Thanks!

BJ

:cool:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Nexus11:
Cyanfox is on it's dead end. There are many others like PA,Carbon, CM, (The two I'm developing) Schism & MerkMod. I'll start at PA
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] loaderboy:
You might consider Wicked X v7.3. Clear instructions in the OP on how to odin the nd8 rooted ROM. Comes with custom kernel and a boatload of themes. If you like tw and are familiar with wicked sensations this is well Worth a look. Been running this for quite a while and get great mileage on it and the modem is better than the mk3 IMO.

LoaderBoy,

I'm currently running [ROM][TW4.3][MK3] ヅ Wicked Sensations Rom as my daily driver. Can I go from Wicked Sensations TW4.3/MK3 to any of the 2-3 KitKat ROMs that I initially listed?

Do I need to flash any special kernels or mods in recovery in order to make my phone work correctly with those ROMs?

Thanks,

BJ
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] roirraW "edor" ehT:
ROMs usually come with a working kernel. Anything special they need should be posted in the OP of each ROM thread.

Recovery FLASHABLE version now posted near the bottom of the first post of the 3Minit Battery Mod for Conquest-Singularity and both Stock ND8 and NDC with 1000+ animated battery icons..

[BATTERY] Plasma Battery! ??? & wickeddecimalbarwide_colors

Charging still shot

Sent from my Sprint Samsung Galaxy SIII on TouchWiz 4.4.2 with Conquest: Singularity v7.0, Ktoonsez' latest kernel and the latest Philz Touch Recovery.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] loaderboy:
The rom that I suggested Requires that you take the OTA update or odin ND8 stock Kit Kat. This might not be what you are looking for.

The ones you listed I am not familiar with but at a glance you should not have any trouble flashing those. All roms need the occasional tweak or trying different kernels or modems. The best I can tell you is READ and then read some more.;)

I usually get about 50 to 100 pages into a thread before I flash a new rom.

Best of luck, Mark
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mholloway:
If your going with touch wiz go with wicked x if your wanting to go aosp give vanir a run,I ran just about all the ROMs here and I have to say for touch wiz is great but vanir right now is so smooth and fast.I can't believe no one talks about it.latest nightly is 08/13/14 .its 4.4.4 , anyway which ever you try iam sure you will be satisfied. Good luck!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] djpabz23:
Just another heads up, switching to any AOSP or CM based Rom will cause lower signal strength Than touchwiz. While on Touchwiz, I get LTE in a lot of places but, when is switch to any CM based Rom, I'm usually stuck with 3g.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] b1ggjoe:
Everyone,

Besides 'Wicked X' and the 'Vanir' Nightlies...are there any rock-solid and stable KitKat v.4.4.4 ROMS out there for the Sprint SGS3? Last night for example, I flashed 'C-RoM'.

It booted up once and all seemed perfect. Then while I was going through the setup process, it rebooted for no apparent reason, then got stuck in an endless boot-loop cycle. Nothing I did worked to get it unstuck out of that boot-loop cycle.

Then as a desperate attempt, I went into Recovery and chose 'Fix Permissions'. Somehow that did something, because afterwards it rebooted perfectly.

I then finished up the setup process and began installing apps. I did a reboot (I forgot why) and then the boot-loop cycle began once again.

Now, even if I do 'Fix Permissions'...nothing will get it out of the boot-loop cycle.

Any ideas/suggestions? I sure hope that the hardware isn't damaged. Has anyone ever seen this type of an issue?

Thanks!

BJ
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] loaderboy:
That would be a question best asked on that ROMs thread.;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] b1ggjoe:
Yes totally, but I wasn't being ROM specific on my last post. I was just curious if anyone has seen this in general. My concern is that perhaps there could be some damage to the actual hardware.

** Also, are there more issues w/ 4.4.4 ROMs than 4.4.x ROMs? Which are the most recommended KitKat ROMs? I really liked the feel of C-RoM, but their Forum is fairly dead so they may not have much of a community.

BJ
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Higgs_Boson:
Did you do a clean flash when installing?

Also, what recovery are you using? I recommend Philz recovery.

---------- Post added at 12:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:11 AM ----------

Also, to answer a few of your questions in the OP: I am on CM11 20140812 Nightly and all features are bug-free for me.

When flashing, you needn't worry about modems or kernels, unless you want a custom kernel. (I'm using the DKP kernel.) I would avoid modems altogether, as flashing more recent modems will not function without Knox.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] b1ggjoe:
Higgs_Boson,

Thank you very much for responding. Could you please give me the link to the thread to the 'CM11 20140812' ROM that you're using? I'm having a heck of a time finding the right ROM for my device and I want to make sure that I don't brick my phone. As far as 'Recovery', I currently use TWRP v.2.7.0.0.

Also, is there a current version of Paranoid Android (KitKat) for our phones? I thought I found it, but the thread is closed and the ROM download link isn't working and the groups website has vanished.

Thanks!

BJ
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Higgs_Boson:
Yes, Paranoid Android does work on our phones. I used to run it as my daily driver and loved it. Recently, I moved to CM11, as I wanted some of the features on CM11 that PA didn't have.

Paranoid Android:

http://aospal.hostingsharedbox.com/aospal/roms/d2lte/

CyanogenMod:

https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=d2lte

FYI, in the future always look for ROMs for d2lte, as most have moved to unified builds.

So, just Google your desired ROM and d2lte and you should be able to locate a download link.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] b1ggjoe:
Thank you Sir!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] loaderboy:
+1 on Philz recovery. Seems to have the least problems of all of them. Also when switching between touch wiz and asop be sure to wipe everything. Dalvic cache, data and internal SD card.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Higgs_Boson:
No need to format the sd card, as wiping personal files will do nothing to assist in flashing a ROM. To flash a ROM, one needs only to wipe /system, /data, /cache, and dalvik cache.

(Formatting /system wipes the OS and system apps off the memory partition; /data wipes user apps and data; /cache obviously wipes temporarily stored data off the partition; and dalvik wipes the pre-compiled drawings and app info.)

That's why I like PhilZ. There is a format option solely for the purpose of erasing partitions to flash a new ROM. It removes the guesswork.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Sounds like they're analysing the packet headers looking for a user agent string of the browser
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheLastSidekick:
Either they analyze the packets as said above, or they lock your data down via IP, which is unlikely since it would need to be static.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
I'm thinking its the former. Some UK carriers use this method to detect tethering. You could tether an iPad but then browser would bring up a carrier page stating that tethering couldn't be used but fat client apps that don't use user agents (Facebook etc) worked fine. It kind of makes sense given the symptoms, although its a strange beat to do it in this instance.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheLastSidekick:
Haha either scenario would be strange. :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FernandoRocker:
Thank you guys for your responses.

So, why do I unlock unlimited data when I activate HotSpot Shield VPN? For example, the other day I did a test and I downloaded over 10GB of data (using a torrent client). And it's all prepaid. No hidden fees and stuff.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FernandoRocker:
Also... something weird happens when I finish my 250MB.

The signal/data icon becomes orange instead of white and I don't get Facebook notifications anymore (I still get WhatsApp, Gmail and other notifications, but not Facebook).

And let's say that during the day I received 50 messages from Facebook.,, as soon as I connect to a WiFi or if I activate the VPN, I get the 50 notifications of the messages all at once.
