Hey Guys,
I am new to the SIII world. As the Official Jellybean update is round the corners I don't wanted to flash the Super Nexus(JB update) but I can't wait for the Google Now and the enhanced Google Voice Search therefore I wanted to ask Is there any way in which I can just flash the Google Now (with Voice Search) to my phone without having to flash the whole JB rom.
Be careful there's a lot of idiots on here who will jump at you for posting about something that's previously been discussed. It's pathetic IYAM.
I am not like that, so here is what you might be looking for:

Do you also know where the Google Now cheat sheet is .

Leaked Jelly Bean Firmware
Hello.
There is 3 leaked Jelly Bean firmware versions already.
Why don't you just install one of them?
I'm currently on XXDLH4 but downloading XXDLH7 (wich just leaked today!!!) to flash is ASAP...
Google now is here!
The first time it looks a little scary, for instance, when it tells you that you are 20min. away from home and have 5 min. delay because of traffic, even without calendar events... or any other setting.
But it is really cool, weather events, calendar reminders (if they have the addres it even tells the ETA time), traffic predictions...
Really awesome!

Whenever i ask something to the new voice search in android 4.1 Jelly Bean i just shows me text without any pictures. For example if i ask "when was barack obama born" it shows me the date, without any pictures, where as other videos which i have watched show a picture of Obama.
Is there anyway to fix this?
Im using a GSM Galaxy Nexus with the Jelly Bean ROM.
+1...same here...i wonder if its location based as i do not live in the U.S.
ok i found out how to fix the problem, just go to google now settings > Privacy and accounts > check "Search on google.com" that fixes the picture issue
Thanks alot. I never would of thought of that )
Hi,
so far I have been using iOS devices and they pretty much do what I need, even without jailbrake.
Unfortunately iPhone has a small screen and the new one I don't really like (plus it is quite expensive).
I am looking at WP but it also has few down sides (for me) despite of system itself looking great!
So,, here we come to SGSIII and few questions.
On my iPad I use VPN and got myself apps from UK and US store without problem. Now I can enjoy the likes of BBC iPlayer and Netflix.
If I'll get SGSIII will I be able to do the same?
I was told SGS III has locked bootloader and I will need access to this if I want to root this phone in order to download apps (like Netflix) from Internet , not from Google Play which in Poland will not have them available.
If SGSIII (which wen down in price a bit) will not do what I need - what else (with approx 4,5" screen) should I look at?

Does it mean that I will have no problem making VPN and Netflix work on this device?
And installing Netflix app (which in polish Play is not available).
You shouldn't have any problems running netflix if you root your device all your doing is getting superuser permission. If u flash a custom Rom you may have some problems then like I flashed paranoid android v2.13 and can't use the tvcatchup anymore still looking for a fixed!
Don't hold me to it I'm just going by my experience lol root didn't change anything service wise only the rom did.
No... custom roms is not my thing - i did not even needed to jailbrake my ipad so far. As long as I can get vpn up and apps like iPlayer and netflix all the rest is enough for me - all I need is browser, mail client, access to skydrive and MS services - and I am happy.
So I can get European SGSIII and should have no problem in getting the entertainment soft working on it?
TVCatchup blocks all VPNs
Just found something called Market Enabler - will that work for me to get those app from different markets...?
Yes market enabler allows you to find and download apps that are not available in your country.

Thanks! So unlike in case of Windows Phone I should be OK.

Hi people, I've fiddled my way around and managed to brick and unbrick my handset at least three times.
I'm currently running the latest stock UK Jelly Bean on my China Unicom SGS3
I'm trying to download things like Pandora, Skype, Snapchat etc
The don't show up on the handset search of google play
The show up on the pc version of google play, but say incompatable with this device
I've run market enabler, makes no difference to what I am doing
Any suggestions on where I am going wrong would be great.
I feel like I am finally at about 80% of where this handset should be, from the 2% of where it was when I bought it from China Unicom (fuktards)!
Wrong section, post in QA
Hi
I would recommend using a foreign mini sim. I hope you have one or an older one that can be clipped. I note that I need to pop mine in every couple of weeks to get updates on certain apps. Obviously, I don't get reception, but i get access to the right apps once I hook into wifi. Also a vpn couldn't hurt.
Cheers,
M.

I am frustrated with the lack of anything like this for ICS. I am in the same boat as you. I can't believe that Google Now is completely broken for ICS. Likewise, if you are on ICS, YOU CANNOT EVEN FIND VLINGO ON THE MARKET.
I seriously believe that Google paid Vlingo off to not make it available for ICS because we literally have no choice but to buy a Jelly Bean phone in order to have a decent voice search or voice activated app. (Because nothing comes close to Google Now or Vlingo in voice capability)
If you read the forums about ICS, you will see nothing but post after post of how ICS basically has broken voice activated and voice search mechanics. Google bent over backwards to put Google Now on Iphone, but refuses to support Google Now for ICS.
If anyone thinks it's a coincidence that Vlingo is off of the Android market for ICS and that Google Now was broken, then you are naive.
Google sold us out to get us to buy Jelly Bean phones.
I'm officially done buying Android phones after my current one dies in the future. I've never heard of such poor support for the second newest OS before. It's like ICS does not exist to Google.
Can you imagine how many thousands of people would download Vlingo from the market if they are stuck on ICS since we don't have Google Now?
(please let me know if I'm correct as I wonder if it's just HTC ICS that can't see Vlingo on market?

Anyways, i don't mean Vlingo and i am with a Samsung ICS.I mean Google Experience Launcher.I found one that succesfully installed on my device but not working. But anyways i use Nova Launcher right now.
Hi, at the beginning I want to point out that this is my first thread, so if I did something wrong I apologize. I also want to apologize for my English.
Recently, on many old Samsung phones, the AccuWeather weather widget stopped working for me. First, I noticed the problem on the Galaxy A5 2015 with Android 5.0.2 Lollipop. When I wanted to enter the city into the weather, it did not find my town, and after entering larger ones it was, but after selecting them suddenly disappeared, I tried to use the map, it showed me several large European cities there, but after selecting any it wrote that the service is now unavailable. I decided it was a temporary failure, so I ignored it. Some time later I managed to fix my Galaxy Note3 with Android 5.0 Lollipop, so there I wanted to introduce the weather, but the effect was the same. A month later I reset my Galaxy S4 with Android 4.4.2 KitKat, the effect when trying to enter the weather city the same, 2 days later I got a Galaxy S2 with Android 4.1.2 JellyBean, the effect exactly the same. I remembered that on my second S4, but with Android 4.3 JellyBean, I have the weather introduced, so I charged it to check it, the weather was there, but it showed the state of March 26, 2023, after trying to refresh itself refreshed the moment, but finally there was the same effect, when trying to add another city, the same effect as on the phones mentioned earlier. Maybe someone knows what the problem is? If AccuWeather doesn't work, maybe there's another widget that looks like the original one? Please help.
Accuweather requires Android 6.0 or newer. So that's why it doesn't work on Android 5.0 anymore.
Ehhhh, can I use a custom app to use this feature? I want it to look like the original. By the way, I will add that on my Xperia Z2 with 5.0.2 works AccuWeather.

If that works on Z2 then maybe it's older version. I just look out playstore that newer versions requires Android 6.0+
And it is possible to somehow make it work, for example, a custom widget, but to look like the original or something like that?

Watched the same behavior...
AFAIK no custom widget will work since the app itself is the one to blame.
Accuweather v5.8.6 was the latest version to support Android 4.1+.
Search the web and install it. It works. The widgets are slightly different though.
