[Galaxy S III General] krGemini:
To be honest, it has been a great time here but all good things come to an end. So, I am here to say a goodbye to this great forum as I have moved to Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the great developers here who made my Galaxy S III worth having after Samsung officially discontinued support for this legendary device. I never felt my phone was ever lesser than any other phone, thanks to the developers especially [MENTION=5161352]JustArchi[/MENTION], [MENTION=4604352]Moster2[/MENTION], @arter97, [MENTION=2875964]dhiru1602[/MENTION], [MENTION=5776465]genesixxbf3[/MENTION], [MENTION=4817632]varund7726[/MENTION] and some other developers for their great efforts who made lollipop update run on this device which was like a dream come true.

Also a huge thanks to the community here who helped overcome my noobishness and solved all my problems that come around while my stay here.

In the end, I enjoyed my stay at this forum a lot.
[Galaxy S III General] Namur17056:
It is a great phone, easily one of the best ive ever had! I have just come back to one after a few months with a Nokia Lumia 930 (fantastic windows phone but i had overheating problems) and I didnt realise how much I missed android and how good the custom roms are. Compared to the S3, what is the S4 like with custom roms and such?

EDIT: Oh I didnt realise this is my first ever post, haha!
[Galaxy S III General] jbash79:
Move on something worth living the legacy of S3

Dear Kashif,

Congratulation on your new phone however I personally feel that moving to S4 from S3 is no that great as its a slight bump in terms of performance however you should have opted for a Snapdragon 800 series based chipset. There are lot of good options in the market.

My S3 still rocks, its a great package and especially the 8 MP camera and the AMOLED screen is simply ammazing.
[Galaxy S III General] MrDSM:
The problem for the International i9300 is the 1GB of RAM.

Great choice for the S4 LTE.
[Galaxy S III General] krGemini:
This is the best choice due to 4g connectivity. S3 has 1GB of ram and lacks 4g connectivity. LTE variant of S3 doesn't support the frequency on which local networks are being operating.
[Galaxy S III General] piomio:
Good luck with your new S4. Tell us if it was worth changing.

Cheers
[Galaxy S III General] krGemini:
Overall nice, had to configured lte option in mobile networks by myself as local network provider wasn't supporting S4 officially. Second thing which is good is official lollipop 5.0.1 update.

Should not be a problem if the code were properly optimized, thats the point these days, developers don't think in optimized apps because they think all of us own +2gb ram phones, this is a matter of resources optimization.

I just couldn't bring myself to sell my old S3 and that's why I've got it connected to my upstairs TV as a media/emulation box.

Either flash the rom again with a clean install or switch roms OR use your nandroid backup that you should have made to back to your previously working system setup. You may also have to enter the correct apn for your rom under settings/mobile network I believe

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Master Ramy:
Hello!

First, credit goes to earast over at the battery life thread, he mentioned there is a new Google play services version. I hunted it down and turns out it's available for my phone already! This is a brand new release showing today's date. Attached are some screenshots. I'm hopeful this will help with battery drain, since much of it has been attributed to Google Play services in the past. Try it out and good luck!! The app can be found on apkmirror.com if you don't see it through your play store already. For our devices, you need the version ending in 440.

Hope this helps! Post ur results, thoughts, and findings!

I had already tried that but did it again. Cleared all cache for all google services, gmail and inbox...rebooted. Still gmail and inbox both crash on opening and close.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Master Ramy:
Did you download from apkmirror or play store?

ok im having calibration issues when holding my phone in landscape mode. ive dug around and found the calibration file for the accelerometer and other sensors. it will let me change it but it wont let me save it. also if you view it in root explorer text editor it wont show. but if you view it in es file, root browser, or root explorer text viewer it shows as -2 0 0 0. and coincidentally its off by about 2 degrees. the file path is sys>devices>virtual>sensors>accelerometer_sensor>calibration. it just wont allow me to save the file. any ideas?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p8ntballa9362:
also it wont even let me copy the file to neither internal or external sd car. i have root. all explorers have super user access.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BACARDILIMON:
From what I am told by a rom Dev it can't be changed. Every phone has the same thing. He said depending on what ur doing the app seems to be what needs calibration to the phone. When he tested sensor with dial code it all showed perfect even tho that file says that. Do a sensor test and watch it is accurate. What ever app you are using in landscape mode is the issue reach out to Dev of app for the fix

[Palm Treo 750] trpenner:
Ok, putting this on the Today screen is a nice touch IMHO despite some popular belief to the contrary.

I personally like it. What I don't like about it primarily is that it is still a little hard to see and cumbersome to operate.

1) Make the buttons bigger - Is there a way to do this?

And/Or Make the buttons more obvious - Is there a way to change the highlighted portion of the button to a different color? - RED perhaps?

2) Make the button pull up a single contact 'name' and THEN be prompted for which number. Is there a way to do this?

My wife is primarily all I call and despite the buttons being there for all her numbers, they are hard to see. Ideally, I'd like to pull up a contact and THEN choose which number to dial for that contact.

Made this wireless QI Car Charger with a small budget. Bought everything on Amazon

Sewell Direct AirStick Microsuction Tape by Sewell

eForHome Qi Enabled Wireless Charger Inductive Charging Pad Station

Nochoice Magnetic Car Phone Holder Upgraded Version (1 Magnet + 1 Ball)

Of course you can use any other wireless charger but i like the look of this one.

The microsuction tape works great with the glass back of the phone. I just bought at clear case and will try it with that and see if it will stick. I would say very similar to other wireless car chargers that cost $80.

Update:

Works great with my clear case

Galaxy S6 Edge Case, Obliq [Invisible Drop Protection] Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Cases [NaKED SHIELD][Gold Platinum]

Does not work with my other colored cases.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] isangelous:
Have you stuck the Qi charger to the car with the magnetic mount, and then the phone to the charger with the AirStick tape?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] xsists:
How does the tape do with hard bumps? This looks great but I would be worried about the phone flying on bumps.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] eecho:
I made similar one, and actually gonna try that ball mount (better than my mount).

Anyway, the suction tape.... dropped my phone several times..

Several reasons..

1. bad contact due to my mount. (I am gonna improve this)

2. Not flat surface of the back of my phone (with the case)

3. dust on the suction tape. It looses its stickiness.

Otherwise, it works well. Pretty strong. You can clean up the dust for better adhesion.

So, every time I dial a contact I need to select which sim to use. This is fine when using the dial pad, but its a bit annoying when using direct dial.

Hi, well, alternative dialers were always here - I personally use TrueDialer, which automatically detect preffered SIM based on Call history and other parameters

I am in a bit of a predicament. When I tried power-off my phone from the TWRP reset menu TWRP froze up. I could click any of the buttons on screen (the clicking/tapping animation did go off) but got no repsonse. When I tried to do a forced power-off by holding the power button, the only thing that happened was the screen locked. Now I am stuck on the lock screen because for some reason the phone won't unlock when I slide to unlock it. Am I screwed and will have to wait until the battery goes dead to be able to get back to the bootloader? I tried to flash TWRP 2.8.6.0 inside TWRP but it flashed to the boot partition instead.

[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] poordonnao:
Today Sony Mobile officially announced the Xperia Z4 on their Japanese website. The Xperia Z4 will be the company's flagship smartphone for 2015, sitting alongside Sony's flagship tablet which is called the Xperia Z4 Tablet. Based on the specifications provided by Sony, it certainly looks like they've done everything possible to make it fit that role with regards to its hardware. Thankfully, Sony's launch page gives pretty much every specification one could be interested in, and I've organized them in the chart below.

The specifications for the Z4 are certainly appealing. Potential speed and thermal issues relating to Snapdragon 810 aside, the Z4 packs what is basically the best internal hardware available for smartphone manufacturers at the moment. Snapdragon 820 won't be available until the second half of this year at the absolute earliest, and so MSM8994 paired with 3GB of RAM is the fastest you'll see in an Android smartphone that isn't the Galaxy S6.

What may be notable for some is the decision to stay with a 1920x1080 LCD. Given the issues with power consumption and brightness with current 2560x1440 LCD panels, and the relatively limited improvement to sharpness at this display size, I think that staying with a 1080p display was the right decision to make with the Z4.

[IMG="sony z4 lcd"]http://www.dbxstore.com/Content/EditorImge/2015-04-20/97f4e7e0-367b-46a0-9ecc-9a07966eb6ba.png[/IMG]

Design wise, the Xperia Z4 bears a great deal of similarity to its predecessor, the Xperia Z3. While it's not a full metal unibody design, it does have a metal frame surrounding the outside of the device. At 6.9mm it is as thin as the iPhone 6 which is impressive. Sony has also been able to include one of their 20.7MP sensors without introducing a camera hump, although the compromise is its 25mm focal length. Like most of Sony's recent products, the Xperia Z4 has an IP65 / IP68 rating for dust and water protection, which is something that now differentiates it from the flagship devices offered by other manufacturers.

At the moment, Sony hasn't provided any information about when an international release of the Xperia Z4 can be expected. It follows that the price is also unknown, although one can guess that it will be around the same price as this year's other flagship devices.
