[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bjf189:
i guess ill try walmart first to see if they have it. just curious here but if i had made a backup with safestrap and used it to restore, would it fully work an get my phone working again? because i had a backup made on the last phone i had which was ND1 not NF1 but i deleted it when i switched phones and forgot to make a new back up on this one. so do you think that the safestrap backup would of fully restored it into working condition? even if lets say i got that unauthorized software message?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
No, nandroid backups do not contain firmware, you'd be in the same position.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bjf189:
what do you mean "sand position"?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
It was a typo, I fixed it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bjf189:
oh i see lol. so by the sound of things beings i cant get my hands on the firmware, im stuck with a soft bricked s3 that cant be fixed without some special equipment?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
Correct. If your that worried about the color they have stick on plates that are plastic and go on the top and back side of the phone. I'd go with any version other than the VZW version of this phone, then again minus the M8 and G3 there isn't another phone on VZW I'd even want that's a newer phone

From my CM11 S3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bjf189:
well does the straight talk one have a firmware release or a locked bootloader that uses verizon towers?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
I don't have a straight talk S3 so I really don't know the answer to that

From my CM11 S3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bjf189:
oh whats your s3 through?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
I've posted this before, I have the S3 which is the VZW variant which I now have on straight talk, completely different firmware than the straight talk version

From my CM11 S3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bjf189:
so you ported over your s3 to straight talk? but that doesnt change the firmware or anything does it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
Nope, everything stays the same

From my CM11 S3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bjf189:
then whats with the whole thing under your comments that your on CM11? you cant get that with a locked bootloader lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
First of all I don't have a locked bootloader. Second of all I unlocked my bootloader long ago, well before it was locked down. Where is the confusion here?

From my CM11 S3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bjf189:
oh nevermind. i thought you had more of the latest ones
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bjf189:
ok so quick question about that. i know you can switch the verizon s3 over to straight talk but im just wondering, can you get 3G still? i have read that you can only get 2G or something like that because of the frequencies not matching with straight talks. so do you still have 3G? and is the service still as good as if you were still on Verizon prepaid? also if i port it over to straight talk, if things dont work out or i dont have 3G (important) then can i still swap back to verizon prepaid? or am i just stuck on straight talk once its swapped to straight talk?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bjf189:
ok so i just returned it and bought a replacement. i was lucky that they took it back. the guy hooked everything up an only seen it had been rooted/unlocked. so he almost didnt accept the return but he was nice an did so. anyways can you tell me how to pull the update zip from my new phone or how to dump the system an package it as you said? i need to do so so i can use it as a back up to use in the stock recovery in case if anything goes wrong again. an if i do this i wont get no verification error will i? itll flash normally and return it back to stock? i just want to be extra careful this time...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:

Find the system partition and dump it with that tutorial.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bjf189:
ok so dumping the system partition will just be like the update zip i can use in the stock recovery? and dumping just makes copies right? it doesnt like actually pull the files out of place does it? i dont want my phone to break.....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bjf189:
could i just use titanium back up to back up my firmware? it only mentioned apps and data. nothing about the system itself. it can create an unsigned update zip but not sure if its what im looking for. i need the whole thing in the update zip. then i found a zip signer on the market. it had all these different options to sign it but not sure what they all mean. maybe thats why its for the devs lol. i wish there was a place where you could just learn all this instead of scrambling over the net for it all ugh. if anything fails this time, im just going to return it, pay whatever and just get another phone. this is getting old fast...not to mention losing money just trying to customize lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
Titanium backup can't save your firmware. If you dump your system block you'll save everything along with the firmware. Then you could probably make an Odin file out of that to use with your phone. Doing a dump command isn't going to hurt anything.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bjf189:
i figured that the titanium back up wouldnt work. just a thought though. id like to dump the firmware and everything but im not sure like how to do so. i know theres the guide an all but its not on my specific phone so im not sure what all i need to dump and how to really package it for odin to use cause i know if i dump it and think i have it right, then my phone screws up and odin gives some error then im screwed. dumping the system block..will it be saved as an update zip i can use in stock recovery or no? i know theres that dumb signature verification thing so i thought id ask. i just like to have multiple back ups in different ways for emergencies like this. i already decided that im not gonna use safestrap or any custom roms anymore cause all roms made are for the one that uses a sim card. my model dont carry a sim card. so it dont detect it, i cant use any data an for some reason my wifi wouldnt turn on. just so buggy since my models different. thats the only two bugs ive noticed though. but still gotta have that back up. need to be prepared! lol again i appreciate your help

i would also like to know how i would be able to get WM6 for my phone!!

thanks for your help

[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] sammis:
For the Greek part ,the best you can do "at the moment" is use Paragon language extender which is reported to be working quite well,as for the Crossbow part ............
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] apap:
There are also localization programs: paragon has one and www.sunnysoft.com has one. You can also find greek keyboards: www.resco-net.com

Another option is to change your rom to the Greek rom if you can find it.
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] sammis:
From past experience I'd be very cautious of using a Greek Rom from ACE HELLAS even if you can download it from their site as they tend to lock them to the IMEIS of the devices sold in Greece.
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] djsolid:
Υes ..... that's right... I have tried to put a rom from ACE and i couldn't because it was locked...
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] apap:
agreed on ace hellas...if I had not upgraded to pda mobile dopod I could have offered you a switch since I bought my device in Greece (not sure I can revert to original greek rom).
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] cts:
go here : http://www.qtek.gr/forum/

register and download the last rom for artemis!! :-)
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] grun:
I don't know about the Greek site, but Qtek's Dutch site (www.qtek.nl) has a similar option. To get access to the Rom you need a valid IMEI number. In other words, if you don't have a Qtek, you cannot download this Rom.
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] apap:
I noticed that the attachment in the Greek forum is not a rom update but essentially an update in the Greek interface. It would be great if we had an update to wm6.
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] labakis1:
Where you find the greek rom from ace???i need it... tnx
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] freco:
There is no greek rom. It 's only a cab to change the inteface into Greek.
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] labakis1:
thats what i need not all the rom but the upgrade to greek please tell me where i can find it ?:(

[One (M8) General] EternalAndroid:
Legit.
[One (M8) General] Vandam500:
Awesome. This phone rocks and Lollipop makes it even better.
[One (M8) General] alias3800:
Yeah I noticed this morning too!

Very cool. Analyzing every aspect, it's hard to disagree as it being the all around best phone. It really is solid - because even the camera, which is often pooh-poohed outside of these forums, has its strengths and is generally very serviceable all around, especially considering the amount you can adjust. The camera is arguably the weakest point because every other characteristic of this phone is above average, if not best-in-class.

Woot woot.
[One (M8) General] thebobmannh:
THe only reason the camera isn't poo-poo'd ON the forums is because anyone who says anything bad about it is immediately screamed at by a team of fanatics.

It's a great phone with the worst camera in a flagship phone of the past 3 years at least.
[One (M8) General] Rouz.:
It still takes MUCH better shots than my friend's LG G3.

I've tested it in person, and I don't give a darn if any biased reviewer says otherwise based on the numbers in the megapixel count.
[One (M8) General] thebobmannh:
Sigh. I appreciate you attempting to prove my point, but I really didn't say that just to start ANOTHER thread where everyone defends the camera and insists it's just "bias" that makes every single reviewer and reasonable person diss the camera. I just wanted to point out that there are plenty of owners of M8's who are disappointed in teh camera but have been cowed into keeping our traps shut.
[One (M8) General] alias3800:
To be completely honest, I just don't see it as THAT terrible. Especially not in lowlight. I've had the iPhone 6 and 6+ and just about every Android phone. The biggest thing missing is detail; you can't zoom in worth a goddamn. And, I usually run my photos through snapseed for a quick editing of at least the color profile and the contrast. So, maybe I'm just being lenient because I'm not really one to just point and shoot and send. I crop, edit, etc. before doing anything with photos, regardless of the phone.

And I get that you don't like it but - the worst of any flagship in the past three years? There's probably a list of ten flagships in the past 3 years that are worse than this. Not to mention, at least you can manually control shots with this camera. Typically tuning down EV will control the blowing out of highlights (or not target-focusing, as I've read here in the forums). Lowering ISO for night shots is necessary at times too. But anyways.. Not the best dynamic range and detail but, you can get it to produce. And rather quickly too. I feel like this is the fastest flagship available. Hopefully lollipop doesn't bog it down with unnecessary transitions and animations.
[One (M8) General] thebobmannh:
It's absolutely not terrible, it's just not good, and is by far the worst thing about the phone for me.

"Worst in the past 3 years" is admittedly hyperbole as I obviously don't have access to every flagship of the past three years, and I"m sure SOMEONE has effed up worse somewhere, but it's the worst I've used since probably my iPHone 3. There may be ways to make it better with playing with settings, but as a daily driver "camera always in my pocket" it's the worst I've used in many years. If I wanted a DSLR that I had to meticulously to set up a shot with, I'd carry one. It's a camera phone, it should compromise some of the customization for quick and decent photos in most situations.
[One (M8) General] alias3800:
Yeah, I'll agree with that. It definitely is the weakest point for the phone.

I'm also less critical of it now because I bought it during HTC's sale a few weeks ago. But nevertheless.. The nifty gallery and the fast shooting help me get by. But I would much rather have to wait an extra second for the shot and have it be better than have to always be editing. But.. Hopefully the m9 will improve upon it, and lots.
[One (M8) General] manup456:
It's a phone with a camera not a camera phone, cameras don't come with phones built in lol...

Hi,

As you probably heard, Google Play will start to automatically charge and remit VAT for EU countries in January 2015.

I always thought that Google was handling VAT taxes like Apple but they’re not.

I don’t sell much in Europe but a lot more in countries like Australia, Canada, Singapore where there might be taxes as well that I have not been paying for a while.

So my question is, have I been selling apps illegally all this time? And if I am, what can I do now to make this right?

Additionally, it seems that I can set tax rates through the Google Wallet Merchant console but I don’t understand why. What happens if I do set tax rates? Will Google deduct them from my final revenue?

Thanks for your help.
[App Stores] zerosum0:
You should not set taxes, IMO. Thats up to Google. VAT is 20%in the EU! If you put it on and Google put it on that's 40%! As Google are responsible for the tax it's up to them to add it. If you supplied a bricks and mortar store you would not add it to the invoice to the store. It's the end seller who does, Tyne the store.

I use the SPB ToPlay pluging for easy acces to my music from the today screen. Since a few days I am the owner of the Jabra BT620 headset.

The remote control for the music works fine when a media player is active. The SPB ToPlay plugin does not react to the (music) remote control keys.

Does anyone here know if it is possible to link SPB ToPlay with the remote control keys?

Thanks in advance,

I'm having some pretty major problems with my phone, as I would very much like to put another ROM on it. I just repaired my HTC One, with a different motherboard from my own, and my problem lies within the recovery. The only TWRP that works for me is 2.6.3.1 , and I have yet to find a version of CWM that works. Any alternate version causes my One to go to the "Loading Recovery" screen, show a black backlit screen for a few seconds, and go back to the "Loading Recovery" screen until the phone is force reset.

Now with another problem.

I rooted my older phone with vroot and it worked perfectly, but then I read over the internet that vroot was risky and not very trustable.

Now, I've acquired a new cellphone (LG L5 II) and tried to root it with kingo, but it didn't work (It keesp rebooting and nothing happens). I don't want to risky myself by using vroot again. Is there any other way to root it in a simple way? I don't care if it's only a soft root.

I just need to root it for some specific tasks.
