How to calibrate our accelerometer? Not gyroscope - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So bad... there used to be an option to do so in I9100 but no in our I9300. I tried the command stuff and tried to modify the Akmd_se.txt under data/misc but still no luck.
I switched to I9300 from I9250 because of accelerometer problems, so bad if I'll be fourced to switch again. It seemed to be related with kernels but I lack enough info. Any clue will be appreciated.

Did that, surely someone would have faced the same problem. I am thinking about getting HTC sensation.

It is a bit unfair to blame the browser when it is the websites themselves that are formatting the pages for a mobile phone. With the user agant you are lying and telling the website you are a desktop PC.
Have you tried installing the free Dolphin HD Browser? That is what I use when I need to see the desktop page.

Good idea .

I heard that this has been fixed in 2.3.6, but, my carrier doesnt have the update for it, what should I do?
In the 2.3.3 version, the settings had an option which would allow you to change the view mode, however, 2.3.5 DOES not have anything ;(

[Q] Samsung S2 I9100G Hangs

Did you buy the i9100G vampire edition?
Jokes apart..if its hanging under sunlight, its probably overheating or if you've enabled auto-brightness, some problem with that. Try holding a flashlight on the light sensor and see if it hangs when the screen brightness changes.
I don't know if its a common occurrence with the G version. You could try asking in the i9100G forum. Might find someone with a similar problem.
Good luck :thumbup:

Thank you for the reply, i think it is the problem of auto brightness. I have unchecked the auto brightness option and i think it is woking fine.
I think it is software related problem, is there any way of rectifying it.

Also, yours is a G variant. Be careful if flashing firmware. Ensure you have the firmware for your variant itself. You can download it from sammobile.com

Yes . i also face the same problem with you . when the phone is exposed under bright sunlight . it will hang at the lockscreen . even when im using cm10 . any solution ?
Fixed!
Hello, i was having the annoying problem with freezing touch screen when my phone was in bright sunlight. After 2 months of experiment... I found the solution. I really hope that will work for you guys as well.
So the only thing i did after installing ALL the custom roms and kernels available i did found the Gold one
I download the latest Official "Iran" ICS build for i9100g from sammobile.
Details>Iran 2012 October Android 4.0.4 I9100GJPLPB I9100GOJPLP7
And now my phone is not afraid of sun again Good luck guys let me know if it works for you too. :fingers-crossed:

Seems to me like a Hardware issue, do check with a samsung service center and see
It might not be a hardware issue. It can also be software lated, i.e you have wrong ntp address, its finds some satellites but they are too weak to connect .o Try GPS fasterfix to change your ntp server. Search for it on the forum. Gps test plus is a good app to see the satellites strength .

[Q] Choosing the right CF-Root kernel.

Hello
This is my first attempt at rooting a phone and even though I managed to narrow down the kernels I could use to 2, I figured it wouldn't hurt to consult people with more experience at this just to make sure I'm making the right choice.
I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100 bought from Estonia.
My phone's kernel version is as follows:
3.0.15-I9100XWLP7[email protected]#3
Now, as I understood the bold part is what I need to pay attention to when picking the kernel I'm going to use. I searched Chainfire's thread according to the understanding I have and found two between which one is probably the one I'm looking for.
Which of these two should I be looking at (and what's the difference between the two, are they the correct ones?) :
CF-Root-SGS2_DX_XTC_LP7-v5.4-CWM5.zip
CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_LP7-v5.4-CWM5.zip
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

No worries, I know that. It just seems so obvious now, I feel it would've only been normal to have figured it out on my own. As said, thank you for pointing me in the right direction !
I would just flash siyah 4.1.5 through odin.But its up to you.

Why is that?
I read that CF-Root is great if the user is looking for a original-like experience and that it is also very easy to install.
I was planning on rooting the phone and looking into Rootbox jb 4.1.2. What I'm currently looking for is a decent jelly bean rom and rootbox seemed like a good choice. As I understood installing rootbox on a phone with CF-Root shouldn't pose any problems?
Another one I found interesting is WanamLite. Any suggestions in terms of which jb rom for everyday use would be the safest choice for a newbie like me would be greatly appreciated.
You have try them yourself, that's the best way to see what fits you the most.
EDIT: But i'd go with WanamLite because I don't like PA (ParanoidAndroid) based roms like Rootbox.
There are various ways to root using .zip or .tar files,its just what you fancy.
Im happy using GB for now......but I'll give stock JB a try when its out for UK.

If you're using that kernel with stock 4.0.4., wiping data in recovery will brick you phone.

Going crazy with my new s3

Hello to all guys.
Maybe it's just me, but I'm finding it well with s3.
It would be a GREAT phone, but that really has a problem I can not solve.
With any rom the phone has a lot of lag in animations.
Even with the liquismooth that everyone says is extremely fluid, I do not look good. When I open an application, when I go into settings or anything, I have a lot of lag .. with any rom. The animations are not smooth at all.
Is there a solution?
With ICS, I seemed to have all these lag .. thanks a lot!
did you do a clean installation ?

It is not you I've tried several roms and experienced the same. That's why I switched back to official JB.

I think you are describing stutter in the animations, try 1,0.5,0.5 in developer options/animations, or turn them of altogether is what I did!

With 1x,0.5x and 0.5x, Is better..but i can see microlag.
