1) Changing CSC might help your mobile data connection. It has nothing to do with WIFI.

2) There really isn't any need to change CSC. I mentioned in my previous post why people change it.

3) I am on completely stock firmware.

4) Every kernel has its list of features in the development section. Check those over there.

5) Yes, flashing a custom kernel will void warranty.

6) In order to claim warranty, you'll need to flash your original ROM again. That's the only thing which has the stock kernel.

7) Changing modem can make your mobile phone signals better (including mobile data connection). This leads to less battery drain and better signals.

[Galaxy S III General] Kangburra:
No, but you may have to backup and wipe IF you get problems.
[Galaxy S III General] Serdxx:
thanks..

so basically changing csc might help mobile data connection on each region, and modem can make signal better (inc mobile data connection),

so at last, this two things can improve mobile data connection and modem make signal better..

I have a question how would I flash stock rom if im currently on CM10.1(nothing else)

No mobile data

Hey guys I was using cm10.1 prior to flashing on my s3 and mobile data was working. Since I flashed the latest rom (the German one ) my mobile data isn't working at all even though its turned on. Does this have anything to do with the carrier of the rom being Vodafone? My carrier is True move(in Thailand). Any help is appreciated!
[Galaxy S III General] onesolo:
To the guy that is always bragging about S3 doesn't have one finger notification expanded... I don't think that android does have that at all, at least on the stock side...

Taken from a Nexus 10 review (4.2 stock rom...) http://www.gsmarena.com/google_nexus_10-review-861p4.php

Two finger swipe!!!

My old Desire HD with a 4.1.1 based CM rom only does that with two finger swipe, both 4.1 and 4.1.2 roms from Samsung only do that, that review from a stock 4.2 rom from Google says the same... prove me the opposite...

Strange GPS and keyboard issue

A week ago I updated my BTU region stock firmware SGS3 to 4.1.2 via KIES. Initially all went well but a day or so after I was using Chrome and the phone spontaneously rebooted. Since then I have noticed that nearly every time I take the phone out of standby the GPS indicator is on searching for location. Consequently the battery life is vastly reduced. I am sure that everything was fine initially after the update. Another thing I noticed after the Chrome reboot was that it no longer defaults to SwiftKey after restarting the phone. I have to manually change it each time which is quite annoying. This never happened on 4.1.1 or earlier but I know others had the same issue. I do have Google Now running but it was there for all the time on 4.1.1 and I never noticed the GPS indicator then. I was hoping not to do a factory reset so I don't know if anyone has any suggestions for these problems.

Cheers,

Ashley

hi sir, just a small confirmation, if i using custom ROM, and want to flash this fw which is stock, after flashing need to perform wipe data/factory reset, dalvick cache, and cache/ partition, right? and for stock ROM, want flash the same version fw, other than wipe dalvick cache and cache/partition, is that also need to factory reset my phone? i heard some user stated, that they meet bootlop, is that happen to stock rom too?
[Galaxy S III General] shafez:
Wipe data factory reset will solve all your problems, I use the BTU stock with no issues what so ever.
[Galaxy S III General] ToddeSwe:

emm, is that mean all branded aps can be removed?

is that branded apps also include system app which can't be removed?
[Galaxy S III General] ashmont:
I found that the GPS issue was caused by the latest update to London Bus Tracker Pro. The widget causes the GPS to come on all the time for some inexplicable reason. Shutting it down and removing the widget fixes the problem. Hopefully the developers will fix the issue soon as I purchased the pro version just to get the widget.
[Galaxy S III General] DeadSOL:
Yes, they can all be removed. Don't worry about it. :)

Swift Key

Not been through the whole thread, but I see some have experienced the problem with Swift Key. After power down and up again the default keyboard reverts to Samsung. Is there a way to fix this please? Thanks. Adam
[Galaxy S III General] jcddcjjcd:
To fix the keyboard issue mentioned in the previous post I have found on previous roms that backing up the keyboard with Titanuiim, deleting the keyboard and then restoring it from Titanium fixes it.

[Galaxy S III General] Serdxx:
sir, 1 more question about csc,

in XXELL5, it has csc from branded fw, is tht possible to flash csc (i think it was cache.img) from XXELL4 or older fw tht was unbranded version, after have flash XXELL5 fw?

is that can make get updates(OTA) from unbranded fw too? or it still stay on branded?

emmm, before that, i have flash XXELL5, so do i need to wipe data(factory reset) after this, i come from stock rom, and kernel?

and when open csc select app, i notice at top it still say XME(csc from previous fw),

is that my current csc for XXELL5? but on *#1234#,

CSC : i9300VFGELL1;
[Galaxy S III General] DeadSOL:
Well, you don't really "flash" CSC. You simply change it. Changing CSC will wipe ALL your data so make backups! Also, mate, you need not worry about the CSC. If your phone works properly, just stick with it! CSC is simply regional settings! There's a 90% chance that you don't need to change CSC. My CSC is for a whole different region but it hasn't affected me! So, don't worry about it! :)

No, changing your CSC will not get you OTA updates. If you want OTA updates, go to Sammobile and flash the firmware of your region but since you're on XDA, I would not recommend OTA updates. If some new firmware comes along, flash it via ODIN. It's the fastest and most effective process.

When you flash a new firmware, it will keep your previous CSC, I believe. Someone please correct me if I'm mistaken.
[Galaxy S III General] Serdxx:
if somehow i want to change csc, but in my fw, there is no any csc that i want, can i use this?

just bought SIII past few days after use a few months of SIIG .... ^^
[Galaxy S III General] Perka:
Yes you flash csc and its cache.img

Yes you can get ota by flashing the right csc and right modem.

I use mobile odin to flash csc :)

And by flashing a diff fw with diff csc will change your csc.

With a factory reset.

No, you can install from any previous ROM if you do a full wipe.
[Galaxy S III General] arghness:
I'm running XXELL4, upgraded via Kies and rooted with CF auto root.

I've run in to a few new issues since this update that I did not have on the previous 4.1.0 and wondered if anyone has similar issues:

1) I use SwiftKey 3 as my keyboard, but after each reboot it's now being reset to Samsung default keyboard. I can select it manually, but this wasn't previously required.

2) The ringtone and notification sounds have been set to "Unknown ringtone" and just appear to play default sounds (certainly not the sounds that I had on the previous update, which were from the stock ROM). I can't seem to select the stock ringtones any more. When I try to change the rington or notification sounds, I only get the option of using 3rd party apps that I have installed, such as "ES File Explorer". If I select a ringtone from /system/media/audio/ringtones/ , it just shows as "Silent" in the sound panel. I'm pretty sure that there used to be a stock ringtone picker?

Anybody try the exynos exploit to determine if the vulnerability was fixed?.

Ricnar
[Galaxy S III General] DeadSOL:
Okay, I came from the German (VD2) ELL5 stock ROM. I just flashed the British (BTU) ELLA. No wipe!

Positives

:

1) Dialler and Contacts takes a little less time to open as compared to ELL5.

2) Shadows on icons in the app drawer aren't re-drawing like they sometimes used to (I've tried running 15+ apps at once)

3) The Recent Apps page (multi-tasker) doesn't seem to forget the most recent app any more.

4) The ROM seems generally smooth even with up to 15 applications open.

5) People are reporting that the Exynos exploit has been fixed!

Negatives/Unresolved issues

:

1) Home button to prevent screen timeout still tied to S-Voice.

2) Widgets drawer still lags.

3) Multitasking with games is still broken.

4) Launcher still redraws. Though only if you're a heavy multi-tasker or if you clear RAM.

5) One finger expandable notifications are still not present.

6) Contacts/Phone still takes a while to open.

For me, the ROM just feels more polished and smoother. I don't see the inclusion of anything new but I would definitely recommend this update since multi-tasking just feels smoother and better. We seem to be getting closer and closer to pure buttery smoothness. :D
