I always do a full wipe whenever I flash a rom and sometimes I even format the sdcard so I think there are no residues left. We do really have the same setup but my downloads are continuous unlike hers. By the way another thing, the problem doesn't exist when she uses torrent.

Here are the things that I have tried already.

1. Reset the router

2. Use static IP

3. Flash omega rom with full wipe whenever there is an update.

4. Change channels

5. Turn-off wifi power saving mode + no wifi timer

6. Change kernels

7. Tried different modems for SE Asia

Is there something that I haven't tried yet? I am running out of options.

Thanks for the effort responding on my post.

[Galaxy S III General] NadMaj:
well you tried them all (if we did not overlooked something)...... maybe just really a bad connection on her side?.... try downloading using a different wifi host/connection to confirm it (you didn't mentioned that you tried using a different connection)...

and i suggest you monitor wifi connection first before thinking it's something else... use a bbs and keep her wifi on ALWAYS and check if her wifi on time is equivalent to her phone's up time.. if the wifi is not turning off by itself then just a net interruption....
[Galaxy S III General] EtienneBordeaux:
Oh we tried different connections already in the office, when she is in my house and mobile internet. Anyway I'll try and get a log of bbs on her phone tomorrow night.

Okay that's it for now, need to rest for work later. Thanks.

[Galaxy S III General] mrm43:
It would not hurt if you would try to reflash again. I too always do a full wipe whenever I flash new roms. But still sometimes (very rare) I do have bad flashes and issues are everywhere. I too am hesitant at first but reflashing usually solves it for me.

Or maybe a malware has infected the phone.
[Galaxy S III General] wachamacalit:
Hi, I got my Globe SGS3 about a week ago. I was so excited so hurriedly turned the wifi on, a notification appeared that a new update was available, so i proceeded without thinking of what the consequences might be. It was a success! JB 4.1.2. But it doesn't end there, so I rooted it flashed siyah 1.8.9 and omega v41, now it's here where the minor problem starts, whenever i boot i notice a tiny red exclamation point on the upper left corner of the screen during boot-up, i felt a discomfort so spent the last 3 days doing research and a lot of reading on how to get rid of it, until i bumped to some thread saying this Android System Info can check if which version of bootloader the phone is using, tried it and i saw i9300xxellc something like that, so i searched for "XELLC", then this one result brought me here...

Gathered some enough courage to try it and wallah!!! the annoying red ! is now gone!!!

I'm so thankful to this thread and particulary to Etienne for his post. That's why i created an account here so I can send you my thumbs up bro! hehehe... :D

On the side note, it worked for me but I don't guarantee that it will work for others... Thanks!!!

[Galaxy S III General] kevindd992002:
It's been several months since I rooted my ICS S3 and I'm not up to date of the current progress. My phone automatically updated it to JB but as I've expected that would produce many problems. I want to erase (factory reset) my device and then reinstall the official JB ROM in it but how do I do it? I remember that the factory reset under settings is not enough to do a complete erase of the phone. After this, how do I root it what software do I use?

Thanks,

Thanks man, I think theres another livewallpaper.apk can you upload it too? Thanks
[Galaxy S III General] edong23:
you're welcome! sorry buddy but that's the only file I have. I am also using custom rom with a lot of bloatwares removed, including live wallpapers. what I did is I copied seclivewallpaperspicker.apk from other rom and copied it in my /system /app. then I download live wallpaper in playstore, reboot my phone and now its working fine.
[Galaxy S III General] reissejx:
yes there is: SecWallpaperChooser and Live wallpaper picker

have it here but i don't know if you can use these. im using SHV-E210S

you may also want to do it the hardway.

make nandroid backup, flash the orig rom, get the ur apk, and restore ur nandroid. :D

---------- Post added at 11:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:08 AM ----------

First, you have to know you GS3 Model.

then you have to download the ff:

1. Device driver for you samsung device to be installed in your computer for it to be able to read your device

2. ROM of S3 model (strictly for your model, or you might brick your phone) be it official ROM, pre-rooted, or custom.

3. ODIN Software - used for flashing ROMs on your android

4. CF-Auto-Root or CF-Root (strictly for your model)

using Odin you have to flash #2 and #4.

Sorry if i cant be more specific and give you dl links because im kinda @ the office right now :)

WARNING: what you are trying to do is extremely dangerous. you should do a research first. there are many tutorials you can find. and be sure that you are following tuts for your s3 model.

[Galaxy S III General] SignetSphere:
Hello all. New member here :) I just got my S3 bought 4 days ago by my older brother : Now for my first question. I think most of us knows that smartphones such as our s3's are battery hogs right? So... does having a battery saving app such as JuiceDefender recommended or is it not helpful at all?
[Galaxy S III General] EtienneBordeaux:
Just root your phone then remove all bloatwares that you don't use. Another way is to use custom rom and custom kernel. Turn off conectivity manually when not in use instead of using battery savers like juice defender. If there are still drains, use betterbatterystats app to find the culprit.

[Galaxy S III General] SignetSphere:
Thanks. But since I'm just new to this smartphone world i'm still quite scared on rooting my device and based on what i researched so far, rooting any android device voids warranty.

I'm willing to to give it a try though. Can you link me to the most simple way to root my s3?
[Galaxy S III General] EtienneBordeaux:
CF Root 6.4

CF Autoroot

Choose either of the two. Good thing you researched first so you won't mess up your phone. Good luck! I won't be able to answer your other queries as of now because I am kinda busy at work. Just google the instruction on rooting your phone.

*Note

Check your phone model first before doing anything.

[Galaxy S III General] SignetSphere:
Thanks again :) My S3 is the international version one (GT-I9300). Okay let's say I've successfully rooted it, can I now install custom roms such as Cyanogen mod? Also can i unroot my phone?

P.S. If anyone can answer besides EtienneBordeaux it'll greatly appreciated. And please forgive me asking to many questions. Also if I'm posting on the inappropriate thread please kindly direct me to the correct one. Thanks! :)

UPDATE:

After gathering courage i've finally rooted my phone :D Removed all known bloatwares via ROM cleaner. Also after skimming this forum for the last 2 hrs I also learned how to unroot my device and reset the binary flash counter via TriangleAway and how to go back to the stock rom just in case something happen which all of doesn't want lol. And yeah I didn't know rooting was that easy lol. Now my S3 is liberated! XD

Just another few questions :D

Since I've rooted my device will I be still able to update to 4.2.1 when it comes out? Also will I be able to use the google playstore normally? Can't really try it now since we have no wifi here atm.

Update 2:

Just tried it at home. I can't check updates OTA is this because of the root?
[Galaxy S III General] drdeathforall:
plan of root

hello there.. i got my sgs3 from globe plan 1799 unlisurf.

my question is.. if i decided to root my s3...

will it also be prone to the sudden death bug?

And will it wipe all of the settings from Globe?

i already updated my s3 to 4.1.2 jb.... will it still be using the same

firmware after rooting?

TIA.

Rooting

=================

Rooting is just giving you admin right to your phone but still same firmware not unless you decided to flash a custom ROM

been reading forums from XDA and saying that samsung's update to JB will fixed the SDS

but still not satisfied, i flashed a custom rom to make sure and my S3 is still alive and kickin.

btw im using OMEGA ROM V44.1 JB 4.2 beta only

once you are rooted you are not able to update your phone from OTA.

checked settings-about-status and from the very end youll see your devices is under CUSTOM.

what you can do is from this thread youll find the link for CFAUTOROOT, flash this via odin and run triangle away again. this time your phone status should be normal and youll be able to update via OTA and you are still rooted

Other thing you can use Kies to update your phone and you will lose your root capability.

hope this will help you. goodluck

[Galaxy S III General] EtienneBordeaux:
Don't stress yourself with ota updates. Just flash updates via odin if you are sticking with stock.

Enough said, haha. :beer:

P.S.

For the guys who are flashing a custom rom (specifically omega) i suggest to try 4.1.2 version first instead of using 4.2.1 so you could use custom kernels and awesome mods together with it. 4.2.1 is still in beta, it is still your call though if you want the latest.

Not sure with stock, sorry its been ages since my last flash of stock rom. It is always advisable to backup your files, do a nandroid backup and backup your apps with "titanium backup pro" app. Just google on how to use it.

P.S.

You already took the risk of rooting so why not take it to the next level? Go flash custom rom, kernel and recovery. Anxiety is normal at first but you will get used to it. Good luck.

I just hope that when the 4.2.x update arrives i'll be able to update/flash it. :) Anyway thanks a lot for assisting a noob like me lol. Greatly appreciate it. :good:

Oh BTW. I already performed full system backup via CWM after i rooted my phone. I think that counts as a nandroid backup?

Hi guys, its been a while. I got my S3 back from Globe due to SDS. I gave it to Globe last Jan 8th for repairs and they return it to me after 1month & 2weeks. It took longer than expected.
