    you can only confirm the Custom Locale in the application, no where else on the phone.

    To change google settings, hold down the home button and go into the google app. From there you're going to want to go into the menu and hit "Voice" Change the voice setting there to "English (US)" then hit back and then go into "privacy and accounts" you'll see an option that says "search Google.com" check that, and everything should work.

    If you're still not getting the voice...ask it something that you'll expect a long response for, such as the defenition of something, and hit the volume button up. My Google Voice was working correctly but for some reason the volume in the application was turned all the way down.

    No, it didn't seem to be. I just went into the locale app and re-did it, even though in said that en-US was active, and then I tried again and it worked! Google didn't know why my co-worker is a prick.

    So for some reason my phone is not turning off my mobile LTE data when I got the phone on stand by. This causes my battery to go from 99% to 30% in just 7 hours of it sitting there. I use Easy Battery saver for my app but I just uninstalled it and im trying Juice defender now to see if that works.

    I guess Jellybean introduced a little unlock loophole on the Note 2 and S3.

    You can unlock them for free if your timing is right!

    I'm about to give it a try.

    worked flawlessly, I just used an online timer on the internet for the timing, and it worked nicely.

    not sure if the unlock will retain after an update though. It appears that the S3 doesn't show the sim card menu when you go *#7465625# so I can't see if it actually deactivated the locks, or if we just bugged the system out.

    you probably have an app that constantly needs data to work. Juice defender is awesome, it turns off your data, and periodically turns it back on for emails

    It was tested on xda and seems to be a permanent unlock.

    Did the unlock and it worked perfectly. I'm surprised it was that easy.

    What does everyone use to back up texts, apps, and other data on their phone when switching roms?

    I havent been using anything but i did the first couple rom swaps i didnt have anything on my phone. i want to be able to keep everything.

    I know about syncing your google account to your contacts so it does it automatically.

    Also anyone recommend any roms? currently running liquid smooth, but facebook and texting always crashes. I also ran AOKP jellybean (4.1.2) w/ gapps. Ive noticed with both my home button doesnt always work to wake it up. Is this a common thing w/ people running roms (haven't had time to do a lot of research since finals week)

    Alot of people use titanium.

    I found that performing a nandroid backup from clockworkmod works pretty good

    After the update in navigation, the voice no longer says the street names that you're supposed to turn on. I'm pretty sure it would specifically tell you which road to turn on before the update. Anyone know how to fix this?

    Mine just says turn right or turn left now. Directions are extremely vague as there may be more than one "right" or "left" coming up.

    EDIT: Apparently alot of people are having problems with this.

    You need to get into the factory restore screen and do a wipe/factory reset.
