So I'm wandering around our fine GS3 forums. Browsing, reading... Anyways, has anyone else noticed the increasing number of people bricking their phones in the Q&A section? There's like 5 on the very first page..... This is terrible :S

Flash valahalla, audiophile or icbinb gb and that will fix all your problems. I got so used to the smoothness and speed of these roms that stock is just not usable for me anymore.

you need to repost this in Q and A
this is a place for developers not questions, move your thread the the Q and A section of the SGS 4G forums.
Stick it in potting soil and water it well. In about a year you can pick the ripe cellphones off the tree.

First thing is that this is not the place for questions. Second is that there are too many reasons to root your phone to list here. Just read all the threads to get an idea. There are 2 bad sides to rooting. 1 you loose your warrenty. It becomes void. 2 if you mess up your phone beyond repair you have no warrenty.

Just to add a bit to that: you really have to do something stupid to hard brick your phone. The worst case scenario for flashing the proper things would be soft bricking. Flashing the wrong things would hard brick you.

Before you Get flamed anymore be sure to read the three sticky threads. Mr. Clown and lufc are the mods for this forum and will move this thread to general where it belongs.

Pure Entity Q and A

Thought I would start this.
Anyone notice that this rom requires you to press Harder (longer) to get action out of touch capabilities? Never noticed this on any other questions roms. Any way to adjust this

Ok I guess nobody is using this Rom since there has been no questions and I know it has its issues. The author has not even been around to help. So this can be closed.

I don't think anyone knew about thread. I know I didn't know about

Probably not being used because the rom thread is allowing questions. I could be wrong though.

So let me get this straight

You guys are all hanging around the XDA forum with a phone that has a locked bootloader? lmao... It sucks to be locked down.

This is an all time low in the android community, where we start to have fanboys within fanboys.

You have nothing better to do than take the time to come to s4 forums, and make yet another bootloader thread?
I bet you greet people at walmart.

Show me how to remove your battery...or use your sd card slot...or easily repair your device when you drop it...and score higher than me on benchmarks. . :thumbup:
I'll never understand what compels people to troll...it's a great phone. So is the HTC one. Please leave and don't come back unless you have something useful to say.

This is the pinnacle of pointless threads. Literally all this is meant to do is flame an entire android forum. Mods please lock this.
You have over 2,000 posts, which would normally imply that you're an established and respected member of the community, yet still post threads like this. Nice to know you try to instigate childish fights. Play on your side of the playground and we'll stay on ours. Even with a locked bootloader, let's compare sales and see who's on top .

hey papa smurf....smells like troll around here....skedouche:cyclops:
I've seen some silly posts & threads, but starting this thread is the ultimate low.
Making us who have the One look bad. If you didn't know, the One X had a locked bootloader for months. Get outta here with this crap.

This kind of comment is NOT going to net you anything but flaming.
Had you of read the rules you would have seen that questions do not belong in the "general" section they go in ...wait for it...."Questions and Answers".
Imagine that!

Have you tried looking at the forums for phones you might be interested in, then comparing the most active ones that way?
Actually doing things for yourself can be quite rewarding.

[Q] Talk to me like I"m stupid

Regarding upgrading and unlimited data.
I currently have 2 lines on my plan: mine (S3), and my dad (basic phone). We are both due for an upgrade. If I use my dad's upgrade, then transfer the smartphone to my line, will I keep the unlimited data? We both have upgrades available, so I'm a little worried that they'll try to make me use mine.
You're stupid.

Well you didn't put a thread that you tagged a question in the Question and Answer forum.
Further if you read anything, there's a thread that answers your exact question on the first page of this very forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2548636

The jackassery on this forum never ceases to amaze me.
I SAW that post. But there were so many responses I couldn't keep everything straight.
Just forget it.

Yes, you will keep the unlimited data. I and many of my family have done this. Ignore the jackasses...
