Thanks. Searching in these long threads , once thread reaches certain length, becomes impossible. Not to mention getting your q's answered
Not getting DATA.

^ THIS is why the ICS beta for G2x is not posted here.
CM9 is not a full release, has a bunch of disclaimers attached to it, and is not yet supported.
Devs that bust their as*es on a rom for 5 months or so don't want to put up with a bunch of "this won't work, that won't work, please help me" posts as soon as their rom is made available. Unfortunately, that is what the majority of the thread over in General consists of. So guess what will happen when the release is posted in Development?
Spend some time searching around and reading the threads. The answer to your issue is out there. If you're not willing to find it, then go back to whatever rom you had before.

In your mobile networks settings, within the apn you use, make sure encryption is explicitly set to something, even if it is none. My carrier needs none, but cm7 on my phone defaulted in none set, which wouldn't work.

Hate to admit it cuz im a nice guy usually but your right. Sometimes i even would go as far as saying i wish our g2x wouldnt even receive ics, so at least most if not all the crybabies would leave our forums and do that **** elsewhere.
Ya we were all noobs at one point but if you finished at least grade school you know how to read, so do some damn reading up in the forums and quit being spoonfed by the pros.

[q] help from me on xda or in pm/gtalk ?

I help A LOT of people here on xda all day everyday some donate some don't. its very hard to help people on xda cus when helping them other people jump in and start either telling the person im helping don't do that do this or they just plain old spam. i have helped a very large amount of people on g talk and they have told me they like to be helped MORE on g talk than on xda because we have 100% full privacy to do what we need to do. please choose how you like to be helped Either xda or PM or g talk. at the end of the week ill count all of them up and from the results i will help people based on the results on this thanks very much.

To put the poll into better context I believe that you should also read this thread Although I've quoted the relevant posts below:

Hello, Paul,
Firstly, thanks (again) for your input into the forum. I'm genuinely not intending to create conflict here or trying to play the role of a mod. Now, I know that you've had this sort of comment before, but, I agreed with it then and I'm afraid that I still do.
While at times the PM route can be useful to resolve issues, it shouldn't be the only or primary option. The whole principle of XDA is openness and sharing, so resolving an issue in thread permits that the next user(s) (and there is always another, who suffers from the exact same problem) from hopefully using the Search function and then following the resolution from the thread by themselves.
That way we're working towards creating a valuable resource rather than loosing useful input into hidden PMs.
PM's do have there place for 'user to user' communication, that would otherwise populate the forum unnecessarily but once a thread has been created I believe that it should be used to reolve the original issue.
If a new user needs that much hand holding then one wonders whether they should be risking their £200-£400 device in the first place! before reading up some more....

me helping people over PM is better because its faster and more safer for the person im helping. if im trying to guide him then other people jump in and comment he isnt going to know who to listen to and he will get very confused. this has happend before. by helping over PM or my gmail is better for them, and me. and i ALWAYS ask them after to write a guide as to how i helped them and what they did. i at NO point mean to upset anyone. but you have got to understand that this is the only way that i can help these people as you may well know here on xda people have got there opinions and they like to jump in whenever they want. if i tell him to do somthing some1 might jump in and say no or do this and do that. i have had EVERYONE i have helped say thanks to me and its better this way. i have helped MANY people achieve proper s-off. i will no open a poll. and it will ask the people of xda if they would prefer to be helped via PM or Gtalk or on here. if more people prefer xda then i will start helping via xda

As someone whom Paul has helped through gtalk, It was very beneficial to me as we were able to quickly and easily communicate, as any other method is rather slow and crude. I definitely do agree with your point on xda being a repository for information however, therefore communicating through gtalk or similar could withhold information from other users. However I have now written up a short guide of what I did to solve my problem on the original thread, and I believe that if people do this then everyone wins tbh, and it has the added advantage of the treads being shorter and more concise, therefore it is easier to find the relevant information.

As someone who has done all his stiff by reading through threads and others opinions, I will always advocate all discussions on XDA
Sent from a Desire S waiting for Kernel 3. WAKE UP HTC!!!!

On the 16th the poll will close and whatever the winning method is thats the way i will help people from now on. i do wish ALL people will take something out of the way i help them. as me getting them properly s-off uses alot of things like commands running adb , fastboot and so on. by helping them do these things it then in turn helps them. as if i didnt help them and they needed to to adb or fastboot commands and they never knew howto that could result in a not needed thread being opened **How to use adb or fastboot** this is a good way for me to help these people. i think people should help people the way they do and let other people carry on with the ways they do things. ( no offence meant ben your opinion means alot to me your a good person ) but if it states in the rules ( only help people on xda ) then i will stop if it dont then i will carry on as im not doing anything wrong. and even so if you guys think your losing out on infomation. i will open up a guide covering absolutly EVERYTHING on the desire s from fastboot adb changing roms,splash,radio,hboot and covering everything on what the desire s is capable of doing. what limits it has and other things. this in a sense will be the desire s XDA user guide let me know if u think thats a good isea ben. and as i go along anything i help people out with thats not in the new guide ill just update it ????????????

I do but there are already several threads like this, so one must be careful not to pollute the forum with too many similar guides which would just lead to further confusion.

There is the Complete Tutorial for beginners and others, but I'm guessing yours would be a more technical and slightly more advanced version?

yes ur right mine would cover EVERYTHING that is possible with our device. from s-off to installing app's and even radio flashing fastboot adb the lot. EVERYTHING will be in sections. with sections about all developers themers contributors. what projects that are currently under development and it can also act like a news forum. like if you want to know whats happening in the most recent roms go to this thread and find your rom and you will be able to keep upto date with whats going on. this will be called DESIRE S ADVANCED USER THREAD. this will house everything for our device. from what roms are currently avalible and everything. im going to start this thread now i think this thread when its done will be the best thread about our device on xda

The one thing I would say though, is rather than re-invent not just the wheel but the car, I'd recommend that you source, link and reference as much of the existing documentation where ever possible.

Guides done i have posted it now and ill carry it on as i go along

hey guys, Would just like to add to this After searching throughout the forum day and night i got what information i needed to root and s-off my desire s. After following all the instructions letter by letter i was still have errors and problem after problem. paul.robo kindly asked me if i wanted his help and i accepted using Gtalk. I can not begin to express at how helpful he was and was there to guide me through each error. After a good few steps i finally got to where i wanted to be. In no way was i able to find out why i was having these errors if he weren't there to check them as it was happening. To go through this in forum style replys would take days and to much work. Gtalk is a brilliant and direct help for occasions like these and would recommend his help and wisdom to all. Thanks again mate Much appreciated

About to root

I am about to root my Galaxy S3 but have noticed that I am not allowed to post to the forum where this is supported (I have <10 posts): thread here. As a long time developer I understand the logic of keeping noobs out of a development forum and yet I hope if I run into a problem, I can quickly get access to this support thread.
Moderators can I ask for a bump to the dev thread if I run into problems?
I am not of the nature to post 10 times just for access (I am busy and no one wants to read posts that aren't truly useful). I guess that will teach me for posting my s3 threads on other websites.

im in your position too i have to post 10 times..u probably wont have problems with rooting..but you never know

I've learned to never presume. Nothing like that gut-helpless feeling when a device doesn't boot.

I'd hop on #verizons3 on freenode for some quick help since the 10 post thing is a current limit

Or if you run into problems you could post it here in the Q/A.

If you do run in to problems, we can all try and help you. If you have a problem, generally you can just post in the general area. You'll get to 10 posts soon enough. :good:

I did the no flash method and worked like a charm. I've actually done it twice now.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2

My Galaxy S3 replacement comes today. I'll boot this new one in prayer that if fixes the reception issues my current one has compared with the Droid X it replaced. I'll root once I've set it up.
Thanks all for your encouragement.

Just an update. Rooted using the no flash method mentioned above and all went well. Did a backup using Titanium backup and got adfree working. I am a happy camper.
Now it will be interesting to see what happens when the first OTA update comes out.

[Q] No Sim Card message with cm10

Sorry in advance if this is off-topic, but I'm not allowed to post in the official cm10 thread yet (not enough psots) so I'm hoping someone might see it here.
After flashing the 9/23 nightly of cm10, my phone doesn't recognize my sim card or let me save a new APN.
I'm in US on AT&T on the HTC One X, and now I can't connect to any cell networks because it says no sim card found. I also was not able to save any APN settings to remedy this (I'd fill it all out, hit save, and then the list would still be empty). If I select AT&T in Available Networks it tries to register for a while and then gives up. Save with resetting the APN settings to default.
I flashed the 9/19 nightly to try to fix it, but it still won't connect to any networks or let me save any APNs. Right now I can't make any phone calls or texts, so I'd greatly appreciate it if someone has any suggestions to fix this issue. Thanks in advance!

furtively bumping in the hopes someone may help me so I can make an important long-distance call I needed to make today :-\
I know I know, shouldn't have flashed if I needed reliability, it's a weakness of mine.

Haven't tried going back to stock yet, too much of a hassle (I can make this call tomorrow from a landline). There's gotta be a way to fix this. I thought if I walked in to at&t with a cm10 phone they'd refuse to help since it's rooted and everything? Plus I don't think it's a hardware problem if it just happened from flashing the latest nightly, unless the SIM card can be overwritten by a flash?
Anyway, thanks for the response. Would it be bad etiquette for me to repost this in Q&A now? I suppose I'll just go ahead and do so, and delete if someone complains.

CleanROM 8.2 tech support

........... This Thread is not being monitored by @scrosler and it is not for any CleanROM 8.2 updates as "scrosler" has retired from the S3 scene for other work. I believe you can still download the last CleanROM 8.2 from "scrosler" closed Thread or from his website.......
........... This thread is for those with knowledge of the CleanROM 8.2 that can help other-users with any problems that pop-up until we get KitKat or everyone goes to S5 ..........
......... Scrosler has done a awesome job with this ROM but he is only one man, we need to pick up what he has created and now help others in this great community. Whatever we do here make sure you hit the Thanks button on Scrolers thread in post 5..........

Why don't you get his blessing and then make it make clear that this is an unoffoffical support thread maintained solely by fans of scrosler's work.
If you wanted to bang out the logistics before creating the actual thread, General probably would have been better.

I basically told you the exact same thing in your thread that you opened up a week ago...
I said the exact same thing, get his blessing first without using his rom name in the title. If you don't get a response you shouldn't open up a thread that has his Rom name in the title. People can ask questions individually without a specified tech support section.

You have my blessing to do as you need....

So is CleanRom still being developed? Was looking at trying to out

Sad to hear that CleanRom wasn't going to be supported on the GS3 anymore. It was a great ROM, and Scott was always supportive as a dev. I think the idea that folks are banding together to support each other is a great idea. Good luck... and if Scott is lurking... thanks for all you contributed with CR!!

It's still a great Rom. Everyone should try it.

Dimming issue...
Thanks for making a help thread. So sad Scott is done with the device, though I do understand and appreciate somewhere to ask questions!
This might be coincidental, but after updating to 8.2, my screen started weirdly dimming to almost nothing anytime I walk into bright lighting. Anyway hear of this? Thanks!

Do you have power save or auto brightness enabled?

I did, and it was working, but even if I turn them off walking into sunlight causes the phone to immediately go super dark. It's very weird.

There is no mod in the rom that would change it. If they changed it in base 4.3 it is what it is.

If powersave and auto brightness is off and brightness is at 100% it won't change. The sensor should be disabled. If either is on it will will darken in any light. I run mine at 100% all the time.
