physise: guy d screen is ok,am going for galaxy grand

The screen is not okay, don't use excuses. S3 >>>>>>>>>>> Grand Trash. If you say you are on a budget and can't buy S3 then i will understand.

febbymi: Thanks all, think i'll just go for the s3. Appreciate the contributions

Wise choice! Cheers!

LMFAO! Intel HD Graphics?! What crap! Are you kidding me? My laptop is 5 times better than this and i bought it a while ago, for an even cheaper price. LOOL! People dey oh!

Wats the price now?

EXACT Graphics card detail? And Price?

MAY YOU LIVE LONG!


LEGEND!!!!!

febbymi: Hi bro, a little diversion will u, thinking of gettin an s3 but was told the grand duos is betta. What do u think(looks lyke ur a real sammy person, help a lady out plz)

You know, i have never actually seen the Galaxy Grand, but i can only imagine how crappy a 5 inch, 480 x 800 pixels TFT screen will look like... I might throw up.

Bottomline, get S3.

Overlord999: Yeah cuz dats where you belong

LOL! Epic Reply!

laceonline02: Hello house..my s2 got spoilt and i tok it to samsung service house in lag where i was told to motherboard is gone...my question is there any hope?

I'm guessing Samsung are the best people to answer you mate. Why didn't you ask them? However, motherboard is replaceable...

See some motherboards here - http://www.ebay.com/bhp/samsung-galaxy-s2-motherboard

Tyz: Dear All Experts,
I found a problem here with my Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-
I9100.
It is related with the charging
problem.
Problem as below:
1) Although the phone is charging,
the battery still draining without
any charging sign.
Example, battery 50%, connect USB
for charging, after 15 minites, show
battery 48%.
2) If charge, it will only increase by 2% then it does not increase again but still writes charging

Get a new charger. And check that ur battery is fine too. Cheers!

faithclin: Lol have done it since and even flashed custom ROM...its actually 1747M...didn't see the M.that's why its been refusing to. I installed stock, flashed recovery and now I'm using Cynogen.

Good to know mate... College work keeps me away from here most times. I try to come on here as often as i can....

@Faithclin, go to sammobile. com and download a Stock ROM for Ur phone make sure it's EXACTLY the same model I1747 as you said. Most times, the model number is the beginning of the ROM name. Cheers!

zelexotunla: Gud morning bro, i will do dat rightaway. Have a blessed day

You welcome

Graviton: excuse me, how much is the Samsung galaxy S4 currently?

Only 94K in Affordables. Should be the cheapest i have seen.

zelexotunla: . Thanks for prompt response. I've removed d external card and it is still d same. When i tried open instagram,it ask me to relaunch "GO launcher". Meanwhile,i've not been able to download or update any application due to these responses whenever i try "insufficient storage available or Package file is invalid" i cant access anything on d phone again except if i get messages and missed call b4 i can check in to phone contact and sms inbox

I think you should just wipe ur phone, copy all your files to your pc. and format ur phone. Or uninstall GO launncher if you use GO launcher. If doesn't still work, wipe the whole phone from recovery. Check first few pages to see how to reboot into recovery

danielmarucho: pls how can i fix my samsung gt19000 which shows the samsung gt19000 on booting then switches off and does the same thing over and over again?

Same with you mate. do wipe in recovery. This is called a bootloop. Wipe can fix it... Check first few pages to see how to reboot into recovery

zelexotunla: Hello bro,pls i need ur assistance on my s2. Some1 just test run my s2 and in the process i dont know what he pressed all my applications cant show again. Infact out over 200 apps it is about 40+ dat remain and most are loading. Cant even see my contact, phone setting and etc. Pls what should i do to reclaim all these applications? Thanks

Sorry mate, but really if a doctor doesn't know what happened to a patient, the doctor can't treat the patient. So i will need more info to work with... Maybe he formatted ur phone, deleted the apps or virus on ur external sd. Take out ur external memory card and see what happens... Or try to get me more info...

faithclin: Hello, please im in a fix.... I jst got an At&t 1747 s3 but i mistakenly went into recovery and deleted System... Now no OS on the phone. Tho i can go into download and sometimes recovery. When i cant i just flash twrp and it flashes just fine... But

I downloaded 3 diff stock firmwares for the phone, and tried flashing it via odin and it always fails. With odin 3.07 it gives me Fail (auth) everytime. With the lower version it says Write fail.

ive tried virtually everything i can think of. Help me pls

Are you sure you are in download mode? Are you sure you are trying to flash the right ROM? Have you uninstalled Kies (do not uninstall usb drivers)?

Niiade: I sent someone there and they were told it can't be done, that I need to buy the full screen wth the LCD in it. But I know that's wrong info. So I need someone who can do it, its just the replacement glass for the screen that cracked not the LCD. Thanks

If at all, you will find something here - http://www.youtube.com/user/zedomax

amprime: pls hw much can I get d scrn of s4

You didn't register for e-warranty? For free screen and motherboard replacement? Because this is a long thing! Full HD 5" screen, even I don't want to know how much that will cost.

[quote author=Da_b¤§§.]is the s3 slimmerthan ip5? it's just poorly designed[/quote]The Galaxy S4 is the thinnest android phone currently and even at that, it is not thinner than the iPhone5

Niiade: Morning folks.

I need to change the cracked screen on S3, gotten the replacement but can't find a technician to fix it need help. Thanks

abrahym: Pls bro someone call me on my samsung galaxy s2, unfortunately my fone switch itself and i check d call list but couldn't find the number there anymore, any help on how get the number back

physise: should i buy galaxy s2 or s3

WOW! The Kind of questions people ask tho! God help us!

[quote author=Da_b¤§§.][/quote]Dude, if you are running leaked 4.2.2 or newest firmwares, go into Settings > Application manager, Swipe to the right to get to the 'ON SD Card' section then try to tick any app you want to move, it will pop up a windows where you will just click 'move to sd card'. And please don't comback saying you didn't see 'ON SD Card' section after swiping to the right. It means that you have an older firmware. How to upgrade? Check first 3 pages.

donmatin: How much is fairly used Samsung galaxy sii and wat am I to check b4 buying d Fone.

35K on this page - http://www.facebook.com/PaylessCommunications

Check that it boots into download mode and recovery mode. What are those? Check how to boot into these mods from the Upgrading guides in the first few pages. However, ig you buy from the guys above, you also get 6 months Warranty on the used phone also. If that is not a good deal, NOTHING IS! Cheers

leunamme93: My phone s2 drains bat3 even when switchd off. Left it 70% lst nite only to wake up with 17%.

This could be caused by an app trolling your battery like Viber or something... Also, might be that your battery is bad and u need a replacement. Check battery usage and post a screenshot, if you are rooted, check with BetterBatteryStats (BBS).

JABB: Hi,guys
I just observed each time I make call with my GALAXY S II the screen would suddenly go off,normally one is expected to press some things on the screen while you make call like speaker.But now I can't do that anymore,the screen go blank completely leaving the phone still on.
Anyone using S II with this experience and what's the cause and solution.thanx.

Using a custom ROM? Sounds like a bug. Try to upgrade to the latest stock ROM.

[quote author=baba-bosun]Good day Expert,
I am using a a GT I9300, for about 3 months now the Wi-fi has stopped working as well as wi-fi hotspot.
I could have returned back as their is a warranty but I have flashed several ROMs on the phone.
The wi-fi failed to work after changing ROMs.
Please assist.[/quote]WiFi drivers are usually contained in the kernel, flash a different kernel. A custom kernel like Perseus Kernel. If it doesn't work, Do a FULL WIPE then give your phone ODIN Treatment by Flashing a Stock ROM via ODIN and see if it fixes?
However, I have a feeling that it is a hardware problem. if dat be the case, Triangle Away + Stock Nigerian ROM + Good lie at Samsung center = Successful Warranty Claim


[quote author=Da_b¤§§.]ya. Cos i am already running the leaked 4.2.2
So there is no solution?[/quote]Mate! S4 comes with 4.2.2 out of the box. So why u mentioned 'Leak'?

zelexotunla: Gud evening wishing you all happy new month,pls, i need help as regard to my samsung s2. It is not installing application again showing "Error package file is invalid" what do i do?

Mate the apk is damaged... redownload it...

[quote author=Lord_Reed]not possible. Rooting requires a PC/laptop.[/quote]Hey mate, it's possible to root without a computer, please don't misdirect him. Just dat for now, most methods require pc. I will get you the procedure later... I'm at college now.

[quote author=Da_b¤§§.]How do i move/install apps on sd card on galaxy s3 gt19300?[/quote]Flash the latest 4.2.2 LEAKED firmware for S3

nellaluv: hi stanley,
how can I toggle btw edge and 3g in the samsung
galaxy s11 sgh I727. Its just on
edge.The phone is not rooted. How can i root it thanks.

Frank3n2: @op pls help me. my new Samsung galaxy s3 mini is always hot, while am using it, even when its locked the ba3 runs high temperature even while it charging its always hot and the ba3 runs down in matter of an hour. ... pls what do I do?

Sorry, I will not support these phones

toongee8701: @stanley thanks for the nice response. Think I would settle with the s3 den!!!! Fanx

Good to know mate.

iheanyi4u: Hey stanley hw do I install java files on my s3

U can't.

chuglothen: Please who has used the galaxyS4? I need to know more about it and how user friendly it is. Also please throw more light on any issues you might have experienced. So i can know if its what I can handle. Am contemplating whether to go for S4 or note 2.....replies needed. Thanks

I own a Galaxy S4 and it's the BEST mobile phone in the world currently, initial software releases were not 100% good but S4 has big.LITTLE architecture and this is a MASSIVE MASSIVE plus! Updates are released everytime, if you know how to get them and use them tho... Like the custom ROM i flashed yesterday by my Team (Omega Team) FANTASTIC!
Note 2 has been left behind, S4 performs almost twice as better. However, if Battery Life is what you need, go for the Note 2 or better still, wait for the Note 3 (September - October). ONLY IF BATTERY LIFE is what you need!
But mate,
Exynos 5 Octa Processor
5 inch 1080p FULL HD AMOLED Display
2GB DDR3 RAM
PowerVR SGX 544MP3 GPU
13MP Camera

You can Never go wrong with the S4!

toongee8701: @stanley nice thread you got goin on here.it is really helpful and I hav learnt a lot since the inception of this wonderful thread.I hav bin a bb user all d while and reading thru various android threads on nairaland and this in particular I hav learnt I hav bin missing a whole lot..
Wanna give android a try.my choices are samsung s2 or the note and also the tab 2 7.0 3g + wifi.which I know you don't support but pls I jes want you to advice me on the one that would transform into a perfect beast of a phone and I would enjoy.I look forward to a great response from you sir.
Best regards

S2 is so 2011 mate, TOO OLD! But still has GREAT support. Buy the S4 or S3 if you can afford it. If not settle for S2 as it will even be getting 4.2.2 OFFICIALLY.

I want to ask first d network that will make me enjoy dis device. Though device is loaded with alot of applications but yet stil dont know much about it. Pls I need enlightenment on this phone.

[quote author=O.michael.O]I did mate, Even tho' nothing wiped
am always stuck on bootlogo then it later boots to recovery mode.then I just restore my previous back up to neatrom when that happens[/quote]Something is wrong, flash the latest PhilZ recovery for your phone
International S3 GT-I9300 thread here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2002953.

Also, check the MD5 of any ROM or kernel before you flash. Just me, you do not want to flash a corrupt ROM to your phone

MD5 checker - http://getmd5checker.com/

[quote author=O.michael.O]stan...I downloaded the bloody omega rom.but it has refused to work...it keeps booting up in recovery mode...I had to flash it back to neatrom ...
any suggestions about what might have caused it?[/quote]This requires FULL Wipe. Did you FULL Wipe? Sounds like you didn't Wipe Data/Factory reset

xtonimarie: i just flashed Jelly Bean on my S3. Now its asking for sim network unlock pin. Y is this and how do I get this pin? Pls help cos i cant make calls n stuff. Tnx.

Check YouTube, u might get something on it. I'm mobile now, will help you better if/when I'm on a PC. Better still try flashing the JB of the region the phone is for.

ridlaw: Pls my samsung galaxy s3 suddenly started freezing yesterday, can someone pls tell me what to do to fix this problem? And by the way it freezes like every 5 - 10 mins n when it happens, I restart it to unfreez it but still freez within the next 10 mins and its annoying.

Sounds like Screen of Death. maybe an app crashing... wat happened before this started? Did you install an app that started causing this? Please uninstall the apps u don't use from your phone, if not still working, backup the files in your internal memory to ur pc. Then reset the phone. Cheers!

laceonline02: pls help mi...i used a car charger to charge my samsung s2 subsequently my phone gets real hot and my battery gets drained immediately at times it brings out icon indicatin high temperation...presently is not even comin up again...i need ur help

Tried a different battery? Maybe you damaged your battery. ALWAYS use recommended Accessories.

[quote author=O.michael.O]will do that...thanks

any suggestions? ? am currently on neatrom v4.7[/quote]Try Omega ROM...

[quote author=O.michael.O][/quote]Try flashing another ROM...

[quote author=O.michael.O]stan. my radio doesn't produce sound nor scan channel...any fix for that?? please[/quote]Sorry, no. International version?

saint4ever: Hi, please complete instruction on how i can use my samsung galaxy s duos to browse on my laptop. Thanks. Saint4heaven@gmail.com

connect phone to pc, go into Settings > More networks > Tethering and hotspot then tick USB Tethering.
And sorry, I won't support this phone any futher...

francis247: Thanks a lot man. I want 2 go for the international version of course. Just that I can't seem to find it, and the very next to it seems to me the European version which is what I could find. With regards to price I feel they're the same.

U welcome mate.

[quote author=Lord_Reed]Like you are paying him for it right?[/quote]

mikky4all: As if u bought ur phone from him. That was just too wrong of u

That's the thing about some people, they never show appreciation, instead the disrespect you. It's just sad! Victor mate! No offense taken tho!

yemolzy: Can you fix at&t s3 with hotspot problem? Its always saying "mobile data not available or invalid sim"

mikky4all: same here, same problemmmm. House any help pls

These are not factory unlocked phones, one of the many reasons i HATE them. Sorry i won't support these phones, i don't even know how to.. Please google ur issue. I'm sure there must be a fix somewhere...

francis247: please what is the difference between the international version S2 gt-19100 and European version gt-19100p?

I believe they have the same specs but use different ROMs, please buy international GT-I9100 if you want to buy. Stay away from AT&T, Tmobile, Verizon and so on models to avoid issues like the queries above in this post. There is a reason why they are made only for US and there is a reason why they are sold cheaper also! Plus! You always get FANTASTIC dev support on International versions. Cheers!
