Hi there, i am fairly new in android. Owned a HTC Diamond2 till 10 days ago when the maxis deal became too good to ignore, so got myself a blue 16G s3. Rooted for backup purposes. Can i find out whether what i think is correct?

1.    My titanium backup can be copied into my external microsd. If something bad happens, i can always copy the information back to internal memory, use TB and restore, correct?

2. ROM manager created the backup in my internal memory. Not sure why. So in order to open up more space, i moved the whole folder into my external microsd. If i need to restore, can ROM manager restore from my external or do i need to copy it back into my internal memory?

3. Lastly, since i have already rooted my phone, do i need to re-root if i do a minor ICS update? I am not referring to the major ICS to JB update, just the small incremental update of ICS that pops up on and off.

Thanks in advance to all the sifus and experienced users out there.

1 - U can always select where u want it to be copied , internal or external memory . Save u the trouble of coping here and there and corrupt the files

2 - What backup are u referring 2 ? Sorry , didnt use ROM Manager for a while . Best is go recovery and backup and restore from there

3 - Sorry , havent update using KIES for a long time

Thanks apisfires for you advice. I used ROM manager because i thought it was able to do complete system, app, setting all in 1 go in case factory reset become inevitable. Haha. Currently also using TB for all my apps backup.

Was toying with the idea of wanamlite  but currently my knowledge a bit too fresh. No guts to flash my s3 yet. Maybe after a little while to get a bit more experienced.  biggrin.gif
Thanks Noobi3, but for some wierd reason i couldnt figure out how to force it to backup (both TB and ROM manager) to my ext SD and not my internal memory. Still toying with the app. Haha.

For TB , go to Preferences > Backup Location ...... If it's internal memory , it s should be mnt/sdcard . . Fromc there , u can crea te external memory . I forgot exactly but I think is externalsd ...... Try around , it's somewhere there . No idea on ROM manager but for Android backup , it's dependant on the recovery . Some save in internal , some in external

Guys how much u think Galaxy Note 2 will be selling? I like the big screen but I think that is too much for me with the S pen. Probably S3 screen is big enough for my daily use. I remember when Steve Jobs launch iPhone he was promoting input using fingers to do away with stylus, now we seem back to stylus.
*
Steve Job is not GOD . . . . Just because iPhone doesn't use stylus doesn't mean every phones have to follow . Besides , most phones back then were using resistive screen , stylus was a better way to use the function especially on a 3" screen where everything is 2 small for our finger to press on while iPhone was using capacitive screen since iP2G was launched . As for Galaxy Note , IF u think S Pen function just like the old stylus , then u should consider NOT to get Galaxy Note . Cause u just missed 1 of the key feature of GNote . Unlike most or can say all screens , GNote has a wacom display on top of their normal screen , making it possible for u to edit your photos like seen in ads using the S Pen . Try doing that on a normal screen for eg , SGS3 and c if its possible .

megapixel is nothing if the sensor is not good enough to support it

+1 ........ That's y at 12mpx camera phone cant never be as good as a 10mpx compact due to sensor size

yea I know but 1MP difference also no point
should make bigger MP camera sensor

Its a marketing gimmick ....... Not everyone understands it well that sensor is more important than megapixel . U will be suprise a lot of consumers buys a phone , hoping it to replace a compact especially nowadays when its a trend to take photos of everything n post it in FB , blogs , etc

if it's the problem of flashing.. and since still can go into download mode.. y don't u just flash the rom again and see? shouldn't send it to the sc at the first place if it's your own flashing problem.. flashing rom really voided the warranty..
*
Not true ...... So far touch wood , I havent claim for my SGS3 yet but a lot of times for SGS2 especially my 1st unit . I went in to claim for warranty at least 3 times , once for the screen , then for the speaker and home buttom . I went with CM7 installed . A simple bootup would have seen it . There are other devices as well which I claim while using custom rom on it .

i think this is depend on the sc, right? i think officially root n flashing custom rom will voided the warranty, so they have the rights to not cover the warranty.

for his case, i think is flashing cause the system problem.. not hardware, so they check and decide not to cover it with the warranty.  just my 2 cent
*
From what I was told by the technician himself , as long as the warranty sticker on the screws are not tampered with , they do cover even rooting . . . As for his case , hardware is involved as well since they need 2 replace it for RM750 .

If my screen is black, how do I install the triangle away thing?
*
just download any stock rom and flash via odin . . . . Since it's stock , it will remove your triangle when u bootup BUT i dunno which kernel u used b4 so best double check in download mode if u need to reset your binary count via Triangle Away . Oh ya , u still need 2 root your phone 2 use the app by the way . After u manage to reset the binary , flash again the stock firmware , 2nd time ...... On SGS3 , System->Settings->About device->Device Status still shows "Modified" even u use Triangle Away unless there is a fix recently . So , remember to flash your firmware the 2nd time to get rid of it completely

I'm a chinese and sadly , I got to agree with u on this . Even here itself in LYN , i know of a trader that sells Samsung phones slightly cheaper than others are selling BUT he's selling recon units as new . How do I know if u ask me ? I sold my SGS to him and it ended up in my friend's hand who bought from him .
