Here is a video for How to SBF your droidx!

Hi guys I thought i would make a video, to show how to SBF your Droid X using the latest SBF file 2.3.340. You may want to familiarize yourself with the process incase you ever send your phone into a bootloop, or ever need to take it back to VZW! Tell me what you think and let me know if youd like to see more video tutorials.

Well the links take you to the sites where the files are being hosted... Youll see like a countdown... When the 45 seconds or whatever finishes countingdown then you can click the download button, your download will begin. I just checked out my links and they are working for me.

This is what I got.

You are right they have taken the links down, they were wlrking literally 30 minutes ago, now it wont let me sign in to my youtube account. I will find the links and edit the description asap.

Issues uploading pics using XDA APP

I keep having issues trying to upload screenshots via the XDA app on my tab. I get 2 messages, the first one stating that I need to be logged in, makes no sence since I am already trying to post something, the other something along the lines that there is a failure connecting to forum and I need to contact administrator. I have logged off and logged in and still same problem. Any suggestions?

Thanx
A bit weird though. A couple of days ago they let me download smart office 2. Which I did. Now they only offer smart office 1 and Polaris.
It pays off to watch all Samsung offers closely and regularly. They sometimes make games and apps available for a couple of hours. Most is crap but some are gems.
Thanx for the heads up

where's more service?

I'm not satisfied with po4 because it can't edit files on my gdrive. It open in read only. Other suite can edit this. Doc files.
Do you noticed it?

Check it's not opening with Polaris viewer. perhaps u need to clear defaults on viewer app.

No I don't have a default app for. Doc. I choose time to time.
Try this: upload a .Doc file on your gdrive and then try to open it directly in gdrive app: if you do that with polaris (not viewer) it say "read only" and you can't edit files. With office suite pro in can do that!
Can you verify this behavior of your phone with polaris 4.0?
Thank you

I use kingsoft office. Is this polaris a better option for the galaxy s3?

Kingsoft vs Polaris

Why not download it and give it a try, it is free after all. It seems pretty comprehensive to me, but like all apps of this type on a phone, it's only really useful for small edits (unless you have your phone linked to an HD display and are using a bluetooth keyboard and mouse).
Still waiting for my MHL cable, so will give it a try then with the set up mentioned above and report back here (if I can remember...lol)

the version that came with LFb is higher than that is available on "more services"

Instagram for Android

Why is that whenever I post an Instagram pic on Facebook, I just get a small thumbnail plus a link to my Instagram photo? This is repeatable on my brother's S3. On iOS, when I post the same on Facebook, it will show a bigger photo.
Is this an Android thing? Or Instagram has given iOS user's more priority?

Doesn't happen to me, I get the full pic.

Try uninstalling and re-installing again.... (Farcebook, and Instagram)

I believe this is due to the sharing settings you have set in instagram, Check them all and it may give you your answer
Let me know if you want anymore info and remember it costs nothing to click Thanks !

>using instagram
>any year

Same problem here ..
No full pic
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium

The way to work around it is this.
Take a photo using the camera not using instagrams camera then click on the photo in gallery and press the share icon and select instagrams. Then resize the photo and rotate.
Select your filter if you want! Then click the top right icon (arrow) and select Facebook.
And there you go!
The way that your getting thumbnails is sending an already edited photo within instagram by pressing the 3 dots and selecting share?
Hope this helps!

I need to see how the Nature UX UI looks like since I am making a theme for our phone. Can anyone please replicate the following pictures? I want to see how it looks like on your jelly bean phones... Thank you so much.!
Also, the popup that appears when you change media volume.
Any help is much appreciated.

Does firmware 4.1.2 allow support for multi window? I read somewhere that it does, along with a new gallery. Is this true?

so i got my s3 mini from a friend studying in dubai
phone was brand new in the box
looked legit
had all the right hardware specs and software and all packaged as expected
however
started looking at a few things in details for example the imei
there are a few websites where you can query your imei and see what output it gets
mine showed some other brand and model of phone
leading me to believe my phone is one of those cheap replicas
and yet the look and feel and performance seems legit

forum problem
Greetings all!
I am having a slight problem with the forum. I can't seem to stay logged in all the time, even if the box is ticked. From time to time I must reenter my credentials, and that is a [first world problem] I know but is there something others has experienced or is it just me?
On the side note, this occurs in latest stable Chrome, latest dev build chrome, as well as latest stable FireFox.
I never click the link to log out, I just close the tab/window. And it appears to be quite random too, that I must reenter my credentials.
Thoughts? Solutions?
