First I’d like to thank my friend “Akram Khan” for giving me this opportunity then I’d like to thank “XDA” for accepting our Post by trusting us and also would like to Samsung for giving such an amazing device in last year.
I am one of the happiest user of Samsung Galaxy S3 (i9300), it is an International version which boast Quad-core 1.4 GHz Cortex-A9 processor, with 1 GB of RAM in Exynos 4412 Quad Chipset having Mali-400MP GPU displaying the brighter Resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, 4.8 inches (306 ppi) in samsung’s innovative Super AMOLED display. The internal memory storage has 3 sizes 16,32 & 64 GB with additional MicroSD slot to extend the storage upto additional of 32 GB.
To say about me I’m an normal technology lover as usual as how most of the common Indian youngsters are. This is my 3rd android device prior to this I had LG Optimus Black and HTC sensation. Through the Service Center I got the Latest 4.2.2 update & in this Post I am willing to share few words about the latest update & also my experience with Samsung Galaxy S3.
Since I am one of the privileged customer for Samsung , I got a call from one of the Service Center nearby my place regarding the galaxy S3 update for 4.2.2.it took almost 10 to 15 min’s to complete the update through jig device. After the update my phone started to respond much faster. I felt as if I am having one of the new phone from the market. The response was seamless & tremendous fast didn’t even had a single lag in any part. They enriched the OS by adding few more additional Software chages.
Lock screen.
Let me start from the Lock Screen it has the same kind of light effect moving along with your finger motion in the screen, as how you have it in the latest Galaxy S4 & the lock screen customizable option has been Enabled now you can add upto 4 pages in the Lock screen allowing you to add multiple widgets avoiding to unlock the screen & you can also customize the message displaying in the lock screen.
Display
Display part there are couple of tweaks the adaptive Display & additional display modes available such has the option to enable the Adaptive display which adapts according to the light & also additional display mode which is the “Professional photo” mode for better display to help in photo shoot.

Notification panel
In the Notification area they have enhanced the option to delete any screenshot which you captured and also to delete any received pictures or songs & rest all remains the same.
New Additional Features
The settings menu has been provided with sub menu in the Tab wise as seen in Galaxy S4.
The 3D display in the Gallery has a white Background, prior to this which was in Black color.
In the Smart Switch Widget they have added 4 additional features which are for enableing & disabling the “Direct Call, Smart Stay,Voice Control & SBeam. The stock video player is also enhanced with the Scren capture option to snapup the currnetly played video & rest of the features remains the same & the phone has the buttery smooth response.
Overall Experience with this update is impressive, Samsung has tried much to provide few features from Galaxy S4 to its last year successor Galaxy S3 & the highlight of this update is it has not caused any performance issues in the device.
An Un-noticed Issue
Even though Samsung has enhanced the Galaxy S3 features, it has failed to imporve the Call Log issue,even after this latest update still the Call logs are taking few more seconds to get launched & even in toggeling between the Call logs & contacts has a huge lag.However this issue is being carried since the launch of this device this & not yet fixed. Even a normal phone would load the call logs much faster than this smart phone.
So no share with XDA ???

they did call, as he has reported multiple issues with the phone and i had raised a complaint against them, they took back the 16gig and replaced with 32gig as the 16gig had lot of issues.
I know its been a month but don't underestimate this is just a review share .

My apologies .This was moved.
Moved as it was in question and answers .
Fact is you made out you are a privileged user who Samsung allowed a preview of 4.2.2 .
Fact is that the release you previewed is not a Samsung release at all but the old leak .
Any Samsung employee advising or giving out this leaked beta test firmware would be sacked .
That in a nutshell is why i thought your post was a fake .

2. What are the basic things should i check after getting my sgs3?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
* All samsung android device comes with lcd test menu in order to check the basic functionality of the mobile and it is also useful to check the tint issues
* Enter the dialer and input the following code "*#0*#, it will give you a set of options to test the mobile.
* The same lcd test menu can be used for testing the tint issues, the main menu of the lcd test should look white rather than pinkish white or warmer white. you can either decide it yourself by your eyes or compare it with another AMOLED screen.
* Black dots are present on almost all AMOLED panels with varying intensity. Its not an issue. But if you still want to check for lesser dots take your mobile to pitch dark environment and load a complete black wallpaper, once your eyes get setlled to the environment look over the scrren. you will notice those spots.
3. Im not getting enough battery life or its not upto the mark what should i do??
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Poor battery life is due to one of the following reasons
> keeping all the features on like wifi ,bluetooth,nfc,full brightness etc.
Solution:
Turn off all the unwanted features and set the brighness between 0 to 50 %
> Wakelocks are common in android, A wakelock is an event witch disturbs the cpu(waking the cpu) from a regular deep sleep when the device is not in use. Commonly wakelocks are caused by frequent syncing of data with apps like twitter,facebook etc.
look over the image below
The blue line rounded with circle denotes wakelock(though a few lines like the one shown in the above pic can be ignored) , the intensity of wakelocks varies depending upon the usage/settings. The best way to get rid of wakelocks is to use apps like "better battery stats" and "gsam battery monitor" to identify the app causing wakelocks and disable/tweak them.
Some Android Basics
Though many of you people here are not new to android,below are the details for android newbies
Read through these links and you will get a basic idea of all the modding/flashing stuffs
1.some basic android terms
Android provides much better customization than many other competing platforms, basically a customization is nothing but altering/tinkering the mobile according to the taste of the induvidual. It may be the look of the mobile, speed of the mobile or whatever it may be they can be customized
Customizing the mobile includes.
1.Rooting
2.Flashing Roms/kernels
3.Mods
Rooting:
A process allowing users of mobile phones running the Android operating system to attain privileged control (known as "root access") within Android's subsystem. Rooting is often performed with the goal of overcoming limitations that carriers and hardware manufacturers put on some devices, resulting in the ability to alter or replace system applications and settings, run specialized apps that require administrator-level permissions, or perform other operations that are otherwise inaccessible to a normal Android user.
You can root your mobile simply by following this thread. Download the cf root from the same thread and flash it via odin. A separate how to root guide is here
Flashing:
Flashing is nothing but a method of installing/updating a ROM/KERNEL/MOD. Generally flashing is of 2 types.
* flash via odin
Odin is a software used in windows for flashing. Odin supports flashing of *.tar,*.md5(commonly used file formats).All the stock roms can be flashed only via odin. Kernels of tar format can also be flashed via odin.
This thread will give you all the details about how to use odin and the thread also has the collection of stock roms.
* flashing via cwm
cwm aka Clock Work Mod is one of the must have thing for a rooted user. Every android mobile comes with a recovery feature in order to troubleshoot if things goes wrong. CWM replaces the the basic recovery with advanced recovery features. CWM supports flashing files as zips. All the custom roms are generally flashed via cwm. Along with custom roms mods/themes are also flshed via cwm.
This thread will give you all the details about cwm and how to use it
Mods
Mods are nothing but tweaked apps/settings that enhances the functionality of the mobile. These mods can be flashed via cwm or can be copied manually via root explorer (for advanced users)
Voiding the warranty and rooting/customiztion
Rooting the mobile will void your manufacturer warranty. But at the same time wasting a powerhouse mobile like s3 without modding is mere waste So whats the solution??? Whenever you are in need of claiming your warranty there are methods to remove the root which in turn covers your mobile under warranty. Yet another thing you people have to know is galaxy s3 has a binary counter which counts the number of unofficial flashes (rooting,flashing cwm comes under flashing ). So if the counter is above 0 it will void your warranty again. A big thanks to "chainfire" for creating an app called "triangle away" which simply resets the binary counter to zero.
So if you people want to remove root for warranty purpose
1.install triangle away and reset the counter
2.enter cwm and factory reset the mobile.
3.put the mobile into download mode and flash the stock rom from the links given above .
Here are a few samsung secret codes you can play up with Thanks to anil84 for bringing this up ...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27342524&postcount=5587
Backup your efs folder!
The first thing you people have to do before flashing any kind of things to your mobile is to "backup EFS folder".
What is efs?
The "\EFS" folder in the root directory is responsible for storing your IMEI number. The folder may get messed up when flashing roms or any other thing which results in loss of IMEI which in turn results in "no signals!!". It is hard to recover IMEI once it is lost, sometime you may even need to change the whole motherboard.
But........... do not worry...!! this can be easily resolved by backing up the "EFS" folder.
Head over here, download the tool,backup the folder and keep it safe in your pc

Did everyone go buy a Microsoft Winblows Surface or what?
I've had the 10.1 since day 1 in the US.I watched the "Development" and the "Original Development" forums start out slow then swell to huge numbers where there was a new ROM every day it seemed.I remember when JB came out and we all started out with Darkman's German release ( I stayed up most of the night hitting refresh as more and more people commented on the progress of their individual downloads to see who would be the first few to flash it) ...now it seems very quiet indeed . I dont think there has been a better tablet made yet than this one (as far as pure hardware stats go plus the s-pen) sure a few have higher stats in one area or the other but from my research I would say that 8013/8000/8010 are still King.Possibly with the exception of 8020.
Anyway Ive rambled long enough but if anyone has any thoughts I'd love to hear them.Again the question was.1)Has ayone else noticed a drop off in traffic in "Note 10.1 Original Android Development" & "Note 10.1 Android Development"?
2)Why do you think its happening?
Thank for reading.
You aint special
There just havent been any news on the note for a while.

I think you're right. Fewer posts, less frenzy. I guess our beloved Note 10.1 is old news now. With consumers 10 second attention span, those of us with Notes are "so yesterday". That's okay. I still love mine and plan to keep it for long time.

I have also noticed a lack of participation lately. Checked Ebay only 58 used vs 203 new active auctions for Note 10.1's. So........ not a lot of jumpers.
I had expected to see more posts last night as a new build was pushed out to me yesterday.
But all seems quiet.

samsung have pretty much nailed it for me, with the stock rom, so for the 1st time no need flash anything else.
I have also noticed a decline in activity, but I plan on starting kernel development over the summer mainly for baked#8.
Don't expect any miracles as I am only just starting developing

Only device i have that is Fine stock
I would agree with some of the others above and some from other post in this forum. The note is one of the best most well thought out android devices. The only device i have ever owned that i have not played with the rom on. Thou Im considering the extra mutli rom app to add a few non muli view apps to mulit view.. But with that said more and more apps are becoming available for multi view.. Samsung has done well with the note no doubt..
Conclusion is.. There is less people in this forum because there are more people Happy with the Note and what it offers Stock. Rom dev has slowed because the note is great as is. Also i will add i think its a tougher device to mess with its Rom due to s-pen and the touch wiz
...
Erica Renee Loves her Note 10.1..... I will play with the roms and themes on my toy The nexus 7 .. I have 6 different roms multi booting on it ...

I thought I'd hate TW, but other than rooting it (and upgrading the kernel out of habit 'cause that's what I do for a living anyway) I run a Stock ROM.
more updates will come and new ROM will be made .. 4.1.2 has been out for a while and 4.2 should be coming soon.. also not many things wrong with note on stock and cm based ROM is not taking advantage of the note full features.. Maybe Google will add some of Samsung features in android 5.0..
Just read last night that the note 10.1 has only about 3% of android tablet market share. I was surprised it was so low. Maybe that's why there isn't a lot of activity.

The price point is too high for the note 19.1or 8 to get much market share. Samsung is rolling in the dough because of carrier subsidies of their high end phones. If those end, they're going to have to make adjustments to their pricing or they stand to see their market share fall.

Let's hope Samsung can unbreak JB 4.2. Nexus device owners are reporting in the Google Code forums that BT remains broken in the latest iteration of 4.2. Audio BT seems completely broken (including in auto BT systems) while other BT devices may connect but then shut down, requiring a device reboot. Merging Android into Chrome doesn't bode well, which seems to be the direction Google is going as evidenced by the shift of Android to the manager of Chrome.

Looks like the results are based on devices that install their app. Not really an accurate gauge imo
I used to frequent the Asus Transformer forums a lot because I was going crazy with installing different roms and doing whatever I can to the device. With the Note, I actually use it for pretty well-defined purposes and so I haven't really had any inclination to change it in any way since it's already so damned useful. I mean, once I got the multiwindow to work for all apps, I didn't need any additional customizing so I only occasionally glance at these forums. :/ The troubles of being so good.

The Note 10.1's nine months old which, in the tech world, means not so fresh anymore. I still wouldn't trade mine for anything. So, no news is good news. Samsung's been pushing features of their newer devices down via updates so 4.2 with some of the SGS4's stuff should give us something to talk about.
Just hoping for some user experience on stock kitkat vs custom .
Currently using Free Xperia 302 based on CM 10 JB 4.3, I cant find a single thing wrong with this rom. It's very fast and stable, GPS, camera and netflix working great!
Should I update, is the os as smooth as JB 4.3 cm build? I would imagine it would not because it is not ASOP. But is it that different in speed?
I personally don't see much of an advantage and you're probably getting great or better performance already. I guess some points come to mind:
Pros
-Small Apps will return with stock
-I like the Sony UI
-I don't know if you've installed a compatible IR blaster with your custom rom but if not you'll get that functionality back with stock.
Cons
-SD card permission problem (but I guess you'll still root)
-Apparently there is a battery drain issue with Google Play Services on 4.4 (and opting out of interest based ads in the settings is supposed to help)
Thanks, I'm not upgrading. Cheers!

Thanks for recommending this ROM: installed it last night and wow! Installed
omni-4.4.3-20140614-pollux_windy-NIGHTLY.zip
Its flawless! Games look better and game frame rates are higher I'm coming from CM 4.3.3
All hardware works; GPS, Camera, etc. Netflix too. I uninstalled DSP manager and replaced with Viper4android. So awesome!! KitKat 4.4.3; it is so buttery smooth and stable; no crashes of FC.I recommend everyone at least try this build; its money! I'm so glad I didn't upgrade to official Sony Kitkat ROM and that I saw you post. Definitely will be sending a donation tithes guys for doing such a good job. This will be my new rail driver.
Omni awesome!

Warning no!!!! Do never upgrade to kitkat!!!!! (BAD MISTAKE TO DO THAT!!!!!)

The WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE-permission must only grant write access to the primary external storage on a device. Apps must not be allowed to write to secondary external storage devices, except in their package-specific directories as allowed by synthesized permissions. Restricting writes in this way ensures the system can clean up files when applications are uninstalled.

Well, you see, this is just one of the BIG KK-Disadvantage.
So Upgrading to KitKat is a QuiteVERY BIG AND BAD DISASTER! A horribly bad mistake that many people (incl. my self) trap into!
If you install CameraMX for example, make videos and photo-recordings etc. then let's see what will happen, if you deinstall/uninstall it...!
Android 4.3.1/Lower: All Recordings will stay. Only the app itself is deleted. Even on the External Storage you'll keep them all.
But since 4.4.0, your recordings will all be erased forever.
Thank you Microsoft to introdûce MTP just for Zune Player. A good alternative to Mass-Storage. No access to File System=Inrecoverible!
And if your BootLoader is Locked, the „Factory_Data-Reset“ will WIPE, SAFE DELETE OFF ALL FILES so that the recoverage-chance would be absuloutelý dead!
But: If MTP would not be there, maybe GooGLE would have made something even worse!
Google has done every version very well. But since KitKat, theý, the Programmers and Android-Enginierrs did actually ruin it all!
Well done, Google! Good JOB!
Top 4 Worst KitKat-Versions:
#3 - 4.4.0
#4 - 4.4.1
#1 - 4.4.4
#2 - 4.4.3
#0 = Android 4.4.2 KitKat

Some another KitKat-Problems:
>WiFi not stamina (Only for 4.4.2)
>Battery-problems because of task „Android·OS“ - Only 4.4(.0) and 4.4.2!
>64% of all 4.4.2 users have battery-problems with Skýpe. Google recommends you to UN - INSTALL!!! ! ! - Have i got to give a comment about Googles recommendation??? ? ?-Well..., i don't think so. So what...?
>And many other problems. If you want to know more, then ask me.
If you haven't got a XDA-Forum Account but you want to know...
Well, then just NOT UPGRADE, if you don't want to take any risk!
>New Accent-Colour (betonungsfarbe) of the Status-Bar.
>WiFi and Network-Status ↑↓ is not shown up anymore „to avoid battery and useless CPU-Usage. “
AnD THE WORST:
More and More phones START WITH KshITKAT!
The first KK-Statrer was the Nexus 5. Well, it's a Google-Phone, so it's got the newer „better“ version!
And ALL S5 Variants too! (S5 +S5Mini+Active+Sport+all others.... like LTE-A)
All new HTC One, luckily not the MAX.
Sony Xperia: Z2 and Z2 Tablet, Z3, Z3 Compact and the Z3-Tablet·ComPact!
Galaxy Tab S, Note Pro, Tab 4.
And many others too.....
Did you think that you see all the others by pressing the button (eine Schaltfläche) you'll see all other ones? Probably yes...!

Well... Google knows about this battery problem but they don't want to tell us, what causes that bug... what did cause this bug? Well, Google does not want to tell us that, about the Android-Code and so on... but well..... 4.4.3 fixes this.!

The Note 4 has 4.4.4
But i hate 4.4.2
4.4.4 is still much better than 4.4.2.
We should be getting 5.0.2 this month or early next month, which should bring some worthwhile changes to the table.

REALLY EVERYBODY wants to have the newest Andriod-Version. But Vista HBasic Béta and KitKat shows (us), that the NEWEST is not actually always ACTUALLY THE BEST, THAT BEST (1) is J´LLY BEAN!!!!!
You do Probably know (that The Note 3 and the Oppo Find 7 are the Best Worldwide Phones with STILL ♥❤JELLLY BEAN❤♥❤ ❤ and THANK YOU FOREVER GOD, OPPO YOU DID NOT POST (Send out an) UPDATE FOR ANDROID KitKat!!!!!
What do YOU think about it, of Android KitKat?
That's the Question.
That's what I ACTUALLY THINK ABOUT IT:
[email protected] is that M'therf'ckng Pièce of s--- out ofit?
Is there a difference between that Ûgly chocholate Man and Killerjo's A$$?
I can't, i cant, i'm acctually not able to RecogniƵe any difference between those twos.
4.2.1 and 4.4.2 are known for Battery Prôblms and 4.0.4 on the S3 for security problems and mistakes and Secure Security issues (exAmple: there is a Horrible Website and if you tap on it with Android 4.0.4 IceCréamSandwich (ICS), then you're only able to just (2)c how the Phone erases itself. One Man did already that bitter bad exp(Î)erience.
4.4.1 is bàd, 4.4(.0) is even worse than 4.4.1 and then [0mes 4.4.4.
After tgat Android L with ugly ◄●□( that i don't like really much ) instead of the good old ﬤ⌂□╗. Even worse is 4.4.2 (Rank 1) but #0, the most horrible worst of all is 4.4.2!!!!!

AH!And before i forget to ask:
1.WHY THE F''' DID GOOGLE ACTUALLY REMOVE 4.1.0 and 4.1.1 and 4.2.0 and 4.2.1 and 4.4.1 from the https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images nexus image site???? WHY DA F'''?????
2.The Air-Command Search-Feature has (been) f'ckin' removeed in the both new Galaxy Note Phones (=Note 4 and Note Edge), why?????
+
3.The Note 4 (i don't mean the Note Edge right now!) has such a (Samsung Calls it „BEAUTYFULL" curve on the Screen like the Galaxy S3.
But this is only good, when you've got a Case that has edges that go further front than the Screen Surface itself because maybe thicker glass is more resistant but if the Phone's got to suffer a Face-Off drop then the S2 would beat all S3+S3 Mini Models!
ALL THE MISSING NOTE 4 +Edge FEATURES:
So that's what is missing on the best Smartphone in the entire World:
>FM/UKW/AM·MW/LW Radio
>Non-Kitkat Android (such as like 4.3.1.)
>forgot what
>4GB Ram|WHAT? ONLY THREE
>PHYSICAL Camera Btn.
>Sensors: RGB, Hudimity, Temperature
>64GB of PURE IntMem
>Cine4k (@2160p) (4096x2160 Pixles). But the maximum recording resulotion is just UHD (=only 3840 times 2160 Pixels!)
>Ok,good the 4xS3 QHDResolution display is no problem. On the Note 6 and the S7 (Not NO1.S7 Galaxy S5 Replica Fake but the GALAXY S7!) i do expect a 4xS4 (UHD) Resultion Display!
>Only 4 instead of 5 Air Gesture(Air Cmnd) Options
>Even in thhis case i forgot what! DAMN!
>Another missin' Sensor!
>I miss a 64 or 128 GB Version.
>Where is that Brightness Sensor?
Another thing: WHY DID SAMSUNG EXCLUDE THE FM RADIO SINCE THE S4?
the S4 Mini still has UKW!
And then there's something that i forgot to say about.
But two another questions:
1.Screen Recording with Unblocked bôôtloader on a Nexus (device) is only possible with the WugFresh Toolkit and only since the first REALLY Cr4ppý version of Android.
(4.2.* causes many performance and Battery problems and is only (r4ppý and not véry (really)[r4pp´ý!
Now the Question is: Is there Actually a way to Record a screen with Jelly Bean 4.3.1 or Lower?
2.Deleting even app data since Android 4.4 KitKat: I HATE THAT S***!!!!!
(Example: When you Record and take some photos with CameraMX and afterthat you do uninstalling CamMX, then the Recordings stay until 4.3(.1) but since [email protected] EVEN THE RECORDINGS AND THE PHOTOS OF THIS APP GET DAM'NIN DELETED!!!!! CRÀÀÀÀÀ·ÀÀÀP!)

Is there a way to prevent that s***????? ?
Can I ask you, why do you dont want KitKat?
KitKat have some new features, battery life is better, phone is faster, and security is better.

I wish that the ScrVideoRecording feature and the Camera Button on the lock screen were there in Jelly Bean.
They attract anybody with „new features" to trap in this horrbile update!
Three very big disadvantages:
1.-The Stock File Explorer (not ES.File·Exp) WIPES (=safe-deletes) the Files instead of deleting!
·Ressource+Battery Waste
·File is not recoverable anymore
2.·Uninstalling User Applications will even delete it's user storage data! Not only root data.·.
·Uninstalling App on lower than KitKat= Deleting App+Root Data
·On KitKat Deleting App+Root Data+even User Data on Non-Root-Storage! (like Phoro+Video Recordings of external camera apps like CameraZoomFX or CameraMX.)
3.External file explorers canonly

Hello LG G5 users , feel free to talk here about anything related to the LG G5 :good:
Thread Rules
1. Respect the others
2. This is an LG G5 thread , do not talk about any other LG phone here.
3. Use appropriate langage.
4. And of course , respect xda rules.
So what do you think about this LG phone ?
Hi guys , thread opened thanks to @KennyG123 , now that the G5 is out and available for sale feel free to share your experience in this discussion thread.
I will update it later with infos , reviews , battery tests..etc.
Enjoy
This is my first impression of the G5 and I'm sure once the stock and custom roms start rolling out I will have a much better experience with my phone. I picked up my new LG G5 a hour ago from my local Sprint retailer and I have already run into a few problems that kind of bother me about the phone. I switched from my Nexus 6 to this phone and I would have to say I do enjoy the feel of the phone and the fact of it being smaller and easier to hold. This is the only good thing I have really noticed about the phone so far though. The volume rocker on the left side of the phone seems very strange and would be much more ergonomic with it remaining on the back or on the right side to be easily accessible with the thumb. The G5 does not have an app drawer with the current software even though there were leaks saying that they were actually going to end up adding the app drawer for this phone. The software seems as if it went for a more Apple style design with a more vivid color scheme. I ended up looking through some of the apps and there are advertisements in the voicemail app which just seems wrong. I have already ran into a bug which should be expected with any new release of a phone of course and this bug happens when I double tap on a notification on the lock screen it locks the screen instead of opening the application which I really hope wasn't the intended purpose. So far the phone isn't as great as I expected it to be.
@CorruptProfile Thank you very much sir for this first well detailed feedback.
How about other things like the camera , performance ( if you tried any intensive game ) ? Is it buttery smooth or LG 5.0 UX suffer from lags ?

I only really play Clash of Clans as far as game intensive on my phone and it ran very smoothly for the little bit that I was on it. The camera is far superior to any phone I have had in the past and the quality is great. The option for the regular launcher with an app drawer does not exist on my device which is no problem since I do not like the launcher in general and the Google Now Launcher is far superior to LG's. The biggest problem I have started to see with the device now is the fact the battery is weak as can be. I'm not sure if there isn't enough data collected yet to give an accurate estimate on how long the battery will last. I took the first screenshot of the battery usage before I used any high usage applications and it already was showing that my phone would last an hour and 47 minutes when it was at 41%. I would add screenshots to this but, I don't have over 10 posts yet so that isn't possible so I sent them to @Soufiansky so he can post them instead.

What about the module thing ? I saw a lot of issues about it these days

I don't own a module and I don't really see the purpose of owning one to be completely honest. It's basically just buying add-ons if you prefer having them or not. I enjoy having the naked look of a sleek looking phone without having a bunch of stuff all over it. It really comes down to the person if they want the parts or not and personally I don't the parts won't make the phone any worse and if the modules really just fail then it won't have any overall effect on the performance of the phone itself.

No i was talking about the stock battery module , you haven't faced any issue ? Because some people were reporting bad screen colors reproduction next to the module , others said it started taking off....etc.
