Hey guys I'm facing 2 issues. I am on stock, unrooted, XXLH1 ICS.

1. After using my phone for 5-10 mins, the screen doesn't turn off automatically (screen duration time set to 30secs) and back+menu keys lights remain on. I have to manually press the power button to turn both off. I have checked everything in settings. It didn't use to happen before upgrading to LH1 (or may be I didn't notice).

2. Here are stats from BBS. any advice on what to do with the two major wakelocks?
[Galaxy S III General] DeadSOL:
You obviously have an application running that is interfering with your device's screen off time. Delete any new applications you may have installed. If that doesn't work then backup your data and wipe everything.

anyone interested in s3..i am selling it for 50k in 8 months m&p warranty

Muhammad I Alam
[Galaxy S III General] DeadSOL:
1) Condition?

2) Reason for selling?

3) City?

4) Colour?

Also, the price you stated is quite high. Anyone can get a brand new one with 12 months M&P warrantee for Rs.51k. I would rather pay Rs. 1,000 extra than buying second hand.
[Galaxy S III General] TheFaixy:
can anyone upload the official firmware cant download from hotfile -.-
[Galaxy S III General] samydroid:
Did that already. Removed the newest apps but same results. I'll do a complete wipe when upgrading to JB.

BTW, yesterday I received Eid clothes for my baby... :D
[Galaxy S III General] samydroid:

[Galaxy S III General] DeadSOL:
Samy, how's that screen protector? I've got a really cheap Rs. 150 screen protector from Hafeez Center. It sucks because it is a fingerprint magnet. It always has a lot of stains and what-not on the screen that really take away the looks of my baby! :D

How much did you buy your from? Where did you buy it? Is it any good? Details, please! :p
[Galaxy S III General] samydroid:
Its awesome! I was also using a rs 200 matte-finish screen protector (also bought from hafeez center) in a hope that it will be scratch resistant and won't be a fingerprint magnet (as claimed by 'khhoka-keeper'). But it was horrible!! After I put spigen ultra nano on it last night, I couldn't believe what i was looking at (partly due to that 200rs protector which literally spoiled the display of my screen). It was like as if there was nothing on the screen. It does, however, catch fingerprints but you can wipe them off with microfiber cloth included in package easily.

It cost me 15 pounds (2300 pkr roughly). Bought it from amazon.co.uk. Yes, its awesome as far as the looks and feel go. Highly recommended!. Will update on the scratch resistance soon. Let me know what else you wanna know. ;)
[Galaxy S III General] DeadSOL:
15 quid for a screen protector? Daaaaaaaaamn! :D

Well, I have nothing else to ask. Haha. Thanks for the details!!! My cheap screen protector is ruining the beauty of my phone but I don't have enough money to buy the good ones! Rs. 2,000 and above is way too expensive! :(

Hey guys i bought my s3 few months back rite when it came out i was using iphone 4s before this. when i bought it i didnt notice much but my fone had "cracks" on both side very minor but still its noticeably anyhow at first i thought it was maybe just for the antenna's like on the 4 and 4s but then i did some research and found a article on phonearena and turns out when s3 came out some of handsets had that problem kind of manufacturing issue like whats been happening on iphone 5 black. So now what are my options? my fone works flawlessly and has no issues whatsoever and the cracks dont bother me much but still can i claim my warranty on it even though i bought it few months back?
[Galaxy S III General] DeadSOL:
You can try claiming for warranty but no one is going to believe you, my friend. You're supposed to check these issues on the spot! You can't suddenly claim for warranty after a few months because the shop-keeper is going to think that you dropped your phone.

You can try and tell us what happens. It's better than waiting until your warranty ends and then your re-sale price will have drastically decreased.
[Galaxy S III General] samydroid:
You can explore Spigen's products or the ones from other brands. You can find good ones in <2k.

Check out this thread. That 'pumped' me to buy this one lol. Might work in your case too. ;)

DeadSOL is right! you should have refused to accept the set at the time of purchase. I went to buy white one but upon opening the box there in front of salesman, I noticed that front and back of that set had different shades of white. I showed it to him. He was reluctant to accept my claim but I refused to take it and asked for blue one.

Go to customer service center and discuss it with them. convince them on the point that set falling randomly can't have even & identical cracks on both sides. I hope they will listen to you. Giving them proof of this issue (articles etc.) may help you.
[Galaxy S III General] Astonrynlds:
It didnt really bother me much like i said and the only reason im asking now is cuz im selling my fone and getting iphone 5. So if anybdys interested in buying PM me

No Sim Error

Hello.. I got Galaxy S3 from Saudia and it works fine here, a week later my cousin got one from Saudia (same shop) and it won't accept the sim card. It shows signals but for making call, sms it says No Sim Inserted. The same sim works on other fones but none works on his S3.

Its Gt 19300.
[Galaxy S III General] salmanghiyas:
Wipe the phone ... if doesnt work ... flash a different radio ... if still doesnt work .. flash the stock rom again
[Galaxy S III General] DeadSOL:
Did you see whether your SIM actually "clicked" into place? It'll make a clicking sound when it is inserted properly. Check that first!!!! Basic mistake! :)
[Galaxy S III General] unroot:
Yes it is clicked into place. Brought it to a mobile repair shop and the person over their says its a hardware issue the set needs to be opened :(. I will have to send it back to Saudia as its in warranty. By any chance do we have Samsung service/repair center in Rwp/Isb?

Bhaijaans, is your JB update multi CSC? Does it have INU? You can check in the *#272* waala menu.

how to get jellybean paki update

Hi bros nice to c active pakis on community .. guys i flashed the initial jellybean rom .. now since paki update is available ..

I want to update to it .. but my ota shows that i already have the latest updates installed .. what should i do ?
[Galaxy S III General] DeadSOL:
LJ4, obviously. Build date was 23rd October, if I remember correctly.

Go to Sammobile. Flash back to the latest ICS ROM for Pakistan. Then, check for updates. Make sure your device status isn't modified.
[Galaxy S III General] samydroid:
Or instead of downloading ICS, just download the latest JB for Pak from Sammobile and flash it. Then use CSC changer app to switch CSC to Pak.

I was on LJ4 but did this exercise just to make sure that I have correct firmware for Pak downloaded if Godforbid I have to claim warranty. And Kies recognized my firmware and reported that its up to date!
[Galaxy S III General] salmanghiyas:
Guys any advancements in JB ??

Most of u have upgraded to it ... so whats the feed back ...

Performance ?? I mean is it smoother then the ICS

Battery time ?

Any new features ?

Looks ??

Plz update ... im on DarkyROM atm .. and it works like charm !!
[Galaxy S III General] DeadSOL:
So what's the CSC for Pakistan? By the way, I bought my phone from Homeshopping. They must have imported it from France or something because the box has French written all over it and my starting language was French, too.

Yes, it's a little smoother than ICS. Some apps open up quicker. There isn't a huge difference. Just a minor one. New features include Google Now, Easy Mode (useless), Blocking Mode (also useless), and a few other minor changes here and there. Nothing spectacular. It looks the same as ICS.

The battery time is a real problem. On ICS, I charged to 100%, unplugged it, and went to sleep. I woke up (7 hours later) and found that my battery had only decreased by 1%!!!! :D On JB, your battery will decrease 3-4% overnight. It's horrible. :( Let's just give it a few more days to see if the battery settles down. I'd recommend staying on ICS if you value battery life.
[Galaxy S III General] Hassaan Shahid:
Which one of the several csc i should select ?

Thanks for the advice bro :) ..

I rooted my gio and then s2 soon after buying because there were issues which could only be resolved through rooting. now I am happy that samy has improved its software a lot in s3 and I had to root only to get extra features. just my opinion!

Hello all ...

i am facing a very strange problem ... i m on DarkyROM III v3.0 ...

after several catches ... i noticed that ... when ever i get the notification of google play store " updates are available " and when i do them ... they do not finish completely and just in the middle or start of the downloading/updating process of the app. suddenly the download progress bar gets disappear and it says installing :s .. though the app was not completely downloaded and but directly shows installing and then its done ...

for example .. just now .. what happened is .. i got the notification that updates are available .. the app was Zynga Poker app. i tapped on update it started .. update download size was 18. something Megabytes ... and just after 1MB downloaded .. it showed installing :S

any clue about this ?
[Galaxy S III General] cyberkhan:
Nothing to worry, nothing wrong! It is just that the thermometer on apps download page is slower to refresh and actually the app is downloaded before the thermometer bar shows it completion. So, as long as apps are downloaded and installed correctly, nothing to worry about. ;)
[Galaxy S III General] samydroid:
It's actually a new feature introduced by Google. Now you won't have to download full app while updating. only the part of app which is supposed to be updated will be downloaded. That's why you see that download bar doesn't reach at the end because relevant files have been downloaded already.

[Galaxy S III General] TheFaixy:

[Galaxy S III General] DeadSOL:
Oh, wow!!!!! That's amazing. A class 10 64GB micro-sd card. That's some cool stuff, bro! :D

I think the Galaxy S3 supports exFAT so you should format to that.
[Galaxy S III General] samydroid:
Thanks for the tip. currently I have formatted it in exfat but read about it being problematic in S3 coz of half-baked exfat fs to avoid patent dispute with MS. anyways, I hope I don't destroy it. :(

and yeah bro, its amazing to have as much storage capacity as I used to have in PC a couple of years ago. :D

S3 supports only FAT32 now...

Samsung Norway said that it was Google that got us to be blown out support for exFAT. I used facebook to contact samsung.
[Galaxy S III General] samydroid:
True bro, I have been doing that while flashing custom roms but my point is that if I am on stock 4.1.1 and sammy releases 4.1.2 for PAK then would I do factory reset before upgrading through kies? Or would sammy instruct us to do that? I think no, right? I'm going from stock to stock and neither kies nor OTA updates wipe your system, do they?

So, that's why I thought that it should work without wipe. :)
