[QUOTE=garychencool;38322706]Man my battery life is getting worse and worse...[/QUOTE] Turn off most of the google service synching, it was devouring my battery. Now my battery life is fantastical.
Well.. problem solved. WiFi and Mobile Network CANNOT be on at the same time. Its either one or the other.. which is ok because im either using only WiFi or only Mobile
Okay, so I need to track down stock ICS for SGS3, get the stock kernel, fist my ass and jump around a well 7 times and I might be able to get Cyanogenmod installed with no issues.

[editline]4th November 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=garychencool;38322706]Man my battery life is getting worse and worse...[/QUOTE] Get a new OEM battery. [editline]4th November 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=lavacano;38322246]Kies worked [highlight]once[/highlight] in the entire time I've tried to use it. That was how I got on ICS originally. Every subsequent time after that was problem after problem, so I jumped that ship. [editline]4th November 2012[/editline] if someone managed to create an opensource alternative that does everything Kies is supposed to do I will gladly switch back to stock[/QUOTE] Try ODIN or Heimdall, it will make life so much easier.
[QUOTE=Cakebatyr;38320516][url=http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16875176412]Do I have news for you![/url] Although I'm not sure where you can get that outside of Canada (as newegg refuses to send me to the united states), and UK sites have it for $~800.[/QUOTE] Yeah I know there is every clour under the sun, but the only ones I'm gonna be able to buy are second hand ones :v: and we only have pebble shit and pearly white
Kies has NEVER worked for me. QtADB, Odin and Heimdall is all I'd ever need apart from glorious CWM.
I've never once used HTC sync, but if it works as well as their phones I can't imagine what it'll be like
[QUOTE=Kaabii;38318441]Man your phone can't be that shitty, because it doesn't run very well on the Nexus S which was basically the leader of single core devices.[/QUOTE] Slight overclock and swap partition on SD-card :v: The built-in alarm clock app doesn't work though, and logging in to my Google account required a little bit of fiddling. Otherwise it's bitchin' [editline]5th November 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=FlashFireSix;38319227]I only really like the white S3, I want to step out my comfort zone with my next phone, and stop getting weird underdog phones in black/silver I want the latest and best, and I thought why not get a white one aswell[/QUOTE] White phone? If you'll only have a light blue background, them I'm calling Godwin on you. [editline]5th November 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Ezhik;38319501]matte white - sex glossy white - fucking hideous (except for apple)[/QUOTE] [B]INCLUDING[/B] apple. Glossy colors belong on cars, everything else should be matte or metallic.
My Google chrome crashes every single time I comment and close an issue in github. bookmarks are hard to get to fuck that shit. back to Firefox

why do you all hate pebble blue it's bluetiful™
Because it's samsung stupid nature inspired thing, what's wrong with a white and black phone, Oh yeah ~~[I]naturee[/I]~~~ and the lilacy home button sticks out horribly on the blue one
Roboto font in Word looks lovely!

[QUOTE=Van-man;38326825] [url]https://www.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=prUS23772412[/url] Samsung chewin' some Apple pie.[/QUOTE] Poor Note 10.1 buyers. I like their phones but I don't think Samsung is the company that represents the best of Android tablets, Nexus 10 included with their engineers failing to understand how the relationship between GPU performance and resolution means that tablet needs about 3-4x the power of that Mali T604. I would think with how hot of a seller it is that the Nexus 7 would have put Asus as the leader for Android tablets.

[QUOTE=Ezhik;38320697]that's not happening wp7 held my tabs with 512mb of ram wp8 will have 1024 i win[/QUOTE] Gingerbread held your tabs ICS and higher didn't WP8 is an OS update too. Enjoy your misery!
Chrome is terrible. I've been using holoweb and it works well enough for me. Though it has crashed when I opened one-too-many image heavy tabs. :v:
Heya, so after my phone picked a fight with the pavement(and lost) I got my mother's HTC Desire HD(she got an iphone 5 from her job), but I'm having a few problems with it. The major one being that I lack "Play Store", I still have the old Market. I updated it to v2.3.5, but it still lacks Play Store. And in the market I cannot download anything, it just say "failed, try again", but I can browse the store and it is connected to my gmail account. Any idea how to get the play store? I tried googling around but it was just super advanced "tether it to the PC, install the SDK...", I'd rather not go through such a complicated process unless it's absolutely neccessary.

You might have to repeat these steps a few times: clear the data, reboot, open the Market again. If that doesn't work, do a factory reset (assuming you never did one after your mom gave it to you) [editline]5th November 2012[/editline] [img]http://i.imgur.com/umw2D.png[/img] halp i think my brian just melted a bit
