Official Android thread

If motorola can fix their bootloader situation I might look into them again but until then I am going to stay with this phone, it has been the best phone I have had (OG Droid, Droid x)

you get 15 hrs on battery? holy fuck, i get like, 5 hours MAX. fuck

It’s my work phone so it doesn’t see nearly the use my Nexus does.

Got sick of waiting for sprint’s OTA of JB. Manually forced the update. Go to apps, then all, then look for Google Services Framework. Clear data and force stop, then go to About phone, system updates, you will notice it says last update 1969 or something dumb like that. Hit check for update, I had to do mine like 3 times for it to update. Be patient, it will eventually hit.

Already done that like 1,000 times on my GSIII…still nothing.

Finally got my Nexus where I want it.

Not sure how much screen time this is, but i think it was around 1.5 - 2 hours…

With GPS/wifi/4g on all day. Plus I have push for twitter, facebook, gmail etc.

this method only works if the update has been made available your phone meaning you would have gotten the update in a few days anyway

well yeah, sprint. verizon lagging behind as usual anyways, thought that would of been a given.

Come on AT&T S3 JB update…

STILL waiting for the Sprint S3 update. Trying to avoid my new work phone just yet.

<EDIT>
Fucking finally:

well no i mean where the update is available for the phone just your phone was part of that batch roll-out is the only time it works.

I dont remember where i read it

Hey you guys are finally more secure :slight_smile:

Google Workspace Updates: New community features for Google Chat and an update on Currents

lol whatever you do, don’t try the Official MIUI rom, at least not for the vzw galaxy S3. For one, it’s so unstable it should really be an alpha. For two it seems to have permanently corrupted my network settings. The official thread on XDA says nothing about caution, but like halfway down the page there’s a long explanation about how to attempt to restore your broken shit but you’ll probably have to try to get a new phone for verizon.

Why this was released to idiots like me is anyone’s guess, but don’t fucking use it.

New Phone…just restore from backup…you made a backup right?

Yep, doesn’t work though.

I’m trying to work my way through post #8 but Odin keeps failing on step 10.

Shame on me for trying a ROM all willy nilly, assuming it wouldn’t be half baked and damage my phone just because it’s an official release to the general public. Damn Chinese bastards.
