After waiting in excited anticipation for what seemed like months, I finally get the marshmallow update.........and almost immediately regret it! Battery life was awful!!......But, I decided to give it the benefit of the doubt and wait a week to see if things settled down......they didnt improve...

Hi guys, had my G4 for about a week now and only today tried periscope, but it won't load any broadcasts! I ve tried numerous locations, but nada......tried reinstalling periscope, nothing! I can choose any broadcast, but it sits on the blurred screen with "loading" top left, and that's it...

Hi guys, after unsuccessfully trying to get my i9300 to run flawlessly long term on Lollipop, or for that matter on Kitkat, I've been contemplating downgrading to maybe v4.2.2 or even older to get rock solid, fast, flawless performance, and I mean flawless. Surely an older rom would be faster...

Hi guys, as is my want, Ive been flashing a few Lollipop roms of late and can highly reccomend this one. It's called DOKDO, and is a 5.1.1. Ive been running it for a few days now and have had no problems whatsoever. Having said that, there have been a few other lollipop roms that Ive tried that...

Hi guys, Ive been using Twitter for a long time and have never had this problem before. I have two phones, a Samsung Galaxy S2, and an S3. Both are rooted and Ive flashed different roms on them from time to time. Recently, I flashed a new rom on my S3, Validus v8, which is Android v5.1.1, all...

I want to try the Validus rom, Android v4.4.2, which is, I think Validus v5.?, but I can't for the life of me find the download link!! Can anyone point me in the right direction please? I can get to their homepage and their Samsung page, even their download page, where there are different...

Ok, we all know that we dont get 16gb of storage on a 16gb phone! I think the norm for an S3 is about 11.35gb. So, with that in mind, Ive just added up all used space that my phone is reporting in settings/storage, and according to my calculations, I should have about 6gb of free space left. But...

Just thought I'd share this. Ive been running efextreme rom (android 4.3) for a few months and was quite happy with it, but it was getting a bit slow and I kept getting these godawful "Your internet connection is unstable" messages constantly, and, as far as I know, there is NOT a guaranteed fix...

Just booted into download mode and noticed my Binary Count is now standing at 27....... just saying....:D

Every KitKat rom I've tried in my S3 has had so many annoying problems that I'm becoming convinced that the S3 just isn't man enough to run them! I've lost count of how many different ones I've tried but all of them, without fail, come with a shed load of problems. So many times I get apps that...

Hi guys, the title says it all! I flashed a few roms recently, but didnt really feel that excited about them, so kept reinstalling my nandroid backup. So far so good. Anyway, I came across another rom that looked worth a try, "Imperium". So went through the usual process of downloading it to my...

Hi guys, Ive downloaded Resurrection Remix rom and am ready to flash, but install instructions warn against installing if youre running v4.1.2 tw, which I am. What gives, and how do I work round this, anyone know? Thanks. Dave

Hi guys, my S3 is getting soooo slow lately. It's rooted, stock rom and kernel. I havnt got round to flashing a new rom yet, so that may improve matters, but, my S2 was never this slow. Tweetcaster takes an age to load, and if I want to tweet, I have to wait such a long time for the writing page...

I bought a 32gb micro sd card ages ago for my sgs2, and had about 18gb of stuff on it, mainly music, but every time I opened the screen I got a message across the top of the screen telling me that the phone was preparing sd card or something similar. Anyway, the upshot of it was that my battery...

Hi guys, has anyone tried any high capacity batteries on their S3, if so, which ones, and are they worhwhile?
