You can flash the php 4.1.2 already at sammobile.com you need to register first though since you can only dl the firmware if registered and logged in. Globe and sun have the update already but none yet for unbranded. Csc and bootloader will go back to stock and correct region.

Anyone having problem with touch recognition on their phones? Mine is still just as sensitive (it recognizes input sometimes when my fingers are just hovering over the screen) but sometimes it completely disregards swipes and, in particularly bad moments, taps too. Real world examples: Can't play scramble with friends properly or flow because it abruptly ends my swipes/movements. Texting is frustrating because I sometimes have to double tap letters for them to register. By the way, this problem only showed up recently. I've only had my phone for about two months, and it's only been in the last week that this problem has happened. Originally thought it was my screen protector so I removed it and tried going without one for a day, it was still the same so i tried another screen protector and yeah. It's still the same. :\

Also, the problem shows up intermittently. Sometimes I can text or type text without a problem for hours then it'll suddenly happen for five minutes or something.
[Galaxy S III General] Scilla:
Yes, Messaging lags a lot. I believe it's a glitch in the recent firmware update. I was able to find a temporary solution online, though.

Go Settings > Developer Options > (under Drawing) enable Force GPU rendering.

After you enable this, make sure to delete Messages in your recent apps list. You will then notice the smoothness again. Sometimes the lag comes back, but you can repeat the process again. (Just a temporary solution until the issue is fixed).

Hope this helps.

Cheers! :)

Hi there,

I just got 4.1.2 from sammobile hehehe! I manually flashed them via ODIN.

After flashing, i tried to root it using this application:

[SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 UNIFIED TOOLKIT V7.0] Drivers, Backup, Root, Recovery + MORE [GSM] (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1703488)

The problem now is.. I have this red exclamation point (!) every time i boot up my phone.

I tried to use Triangle Away (triangle away still shows 1 flash) and reflash the stock firmware (still shows 1 flash) and my system shows its modified.

Anyone here knows how to remove that one? Should I be alerted? Is my phone going to brick?

:crying:

u guys tried earphones on the unit and notice that the sounda stills comes out of the speaker aside from the earphones. at first i thought i should be using the earphones included but no its the same.

also. there are times blue led blinks even no notification is present. i have to guess if i have notifications in fb.

and i have a mix red/blue led notification,i know it should be blue but im not sure why red blinks with it. weirdness
[Galaxy S III General] hot ice:
With regard to the headset, are you using the headset that originally came with your phonr? Make sure that it's snug fit and fully plugged in. Sound shoukd only be coming from your earphones if they're properly plugged.
[Galaxy S III General] biosong:
well ideally it wouldnt matter what earphones you use long as you plug it correctly.

yes im aware of that. i tested earphones from S2 and S3. and 2units of S3. and the result is the same. even the jack is in sounds still comes out of the speaker. this is for calls and notification alerts only. for audio and video it works well.

maybe you guys havent notice it.

Currently using Omega v9.0 + Siyah 1.3.8a combo and loving the battery life so far.
[Galaxy S III General] biosong:
batt life over stock rom/kernel is good. on full charge i sslept about 5.5hrs and the battery still at 100%. i nver get this on S2. then 40min on wifi using it for games gets me down only 8%.
[Galaxy S III General] hot ice:
There you go. You didn't mention that you were talking about notification sounds.

Same thing happens on my phone. I get a message, I hear the notification on the earphone and also from the phone's speaker. No biggy.
[Galaxy S III General] biosong:
notification sounds = ring tone and masg alert tone.

why would you want your phone to ring when you haven plugged your earphones. it defeats the purpose of being discreet on public places.

its not like that on all the phone ive used.

That's impressive. Could you probably give us a few more details like brightness settings, power saving on/off, was the unit fully charged, etc,.
[Galaxy S III General] dybbuk68:
running aokp with siyah kernel 1.3.8a, dxlf3 modem. getting 26-29 hours. no games, just browsing, xda app, soundcloud or intune radio. auto brightness, no undervolting or overclocking. is this good enough? this is my first adroid phone. first smartphone actually, so i have to baseline for comparison. i have an ipod touch, it has way better battery stats but i dont think i shouldbe comparing the two.

edit: one thing i notice about the modem is i usually just get 2-3 bars on wifi signal even when very near the router. sometimes,i still get internet access when it shows zero bars though.
[Galaxy S III General] biosong:
im on stock rooted unit and mine can go 10hrs pure wifi or data + games.

guys can anyone of you check if ur unit will still sound notifications (ringtones,msg alert tones, system notifications) even when the earphones are plugged in.

i cant believe this is happening really.

Hi newbie here.. question lng.. does anyone know if sgs3 32 gig internal memory will be released in the philippines? if yes when?

[Galaxy S III General] BURN_BaD:
I found this guide (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=27638540&postcount=1) to be the best way of getting back to stock/unrooted for warranty purposes (many thanks to maxq1 for this). The process is a bit drawn out but it should get your phone back to stock should you need it to be.

Another method may be to flash a stock/carrier-branded via Odin then do a factory reset. It might be a good idea to follow the instructions on said guide first but instead of restoring the Nandroid backup, flashing the stock firmware may work too. This firmware (http://www.hotfile.com/dl/162994138/449b3c4/I9300XXBLFB_I9300OLBBLF1_GLB.zip.html) is Globe-branded, so it should contain all stock Globe watchamacallits (wallpaper, ringtone, app, etc).

@CRBoy47 : tried Phenomenal 2.0 MED but had to revert back to Siyah 1.3.8a. I encountered some issues when I call out, the other party only hears crackles and static for some reason.
[Galaxy S III General] hot ice:
Yes. You didn't make it clear you meant notification sounds on your initial post.

And, that's a personal prefernce. I, for one, want my phone to still ring when my earphones are connected. I don't want to keep the earphones in my ear but would still want to know if someone is calling me so that I am able to answer it (using the earphones with mic).

If you don't want notification sounds, just put your phone to silent or vibrate.

But, yeah, you're right. I'm not too sure but I think my old N8 didn't produce notification sounds on the speaker if the earphones are connected.
[Galaxy S III General] biosong:
that is why im saying its kinda weird. all of the phones ive tried by default when you plug in an enhancement even Bluetooth, the external sounds should be cancelled.

contradictory to your preference, the logic of this is because. when you plug in an enhancement, the unit or the designer themselves expect that your hearing from the external sound will be cancelled due to that you are using the earphones as the main speaker now.

do you think you can still hear the external sounds if you are using a noise cancelling earphones? it defeats the purpose doesn't it.

problem when going silent/vibrate, you dont hear anything when using earphones.

final query to resolve this... does any ROM out there able to fix this case?
[Galaxy S III General] EtienneBordeaux:
That red exclamation is due to the new bootloader that samsung has implemented. No matter how many times you reset your counter thru triangle away, it will always go back to 1 because you are rooted. That is another way for samsung to void our warranty by including the new bootloader on their new firmwares. The only way to avoid this is to downgrade your bootloader, after that TA will work again. Search here in xda, there would be a handful of results.

I don't recommend downgrading to 4.1.1 because you would be prone to exynos memory exploit and sudden death(even though this is not yet fully proven). Just flash the old bootloader. Look for it here on xda.

I think the usb cable Samsung is a bit flimsy. Chances are some pins/connectors are slightly bent. Just try to reseat it.

This happens to me once in a while. Leads to slow charging, unmounts, etc. Reseating has always fixed these issues for me. Of course ymmv, but try it out before going out and buying a new cable.

curious thing

hi guys!

havent really posted anything here in xda since i just mostly read stuff here and on the other threads. i would like to share my experience when i upgraded to 4.1.2. before the upgrade i was running stock but was rooted. i triangled away and unrooted using supersu(plus uninstalled), got on recovery mode and wiped and did a factory reset. after that i upgraded the firmware using kies. after the upgrade was done, i went on to browse apps on google play and was surprised to see that supersu was a "system app" in my fone. :laugh:

just wanted to share cause i thought twas interesting. :)

Hey guys, I need a bit of help. Phone is acting up weird. REALLY weird. It started like this:

1. Phone suddenly became unresponsive, lagging a lot until it did not respond at all.

2. Did a battery pull. Phone rebooted successfully. Noticed that the battery was low so I plugged it to my charger and left it there for sometime.

3. Checked a couple of hours later, phone wont wake up. I feared that it could might be SDS, (even though I have the latest patch)

4. Did a battery pull again, waited until it booted up completely. It did boot, but i found out that every time the phone's screen goes off/sleeps, or when the power button is pressed, it rarely wakes up.

5. I thought it was an error with the ROM so I reflashed the ROM (Wanamlite 5.3 i think) without wiping. No dice, but this time, even when the screen is on, the phone would randomly freeze, requiring a battery pull to get it working again.

6. Successfully made a nandroid backup, wiped /system, /data, etc, aka full wipe to start from scratch. Nothing :( same result.

I am really stumped here guys. Any ideas? Phone goes to recovery and download mode just fine. Just when I boot it to android, it freezes.

Thanks for the info! Looks like we have a similar issue. Goddamn samsung! I wish I didnt patch my phone then, so that I could easily send it over for repair/warranty without fuss. Now I could not unroot and return everything to stock since i could not even boot to Android properly. After this phone, I swear to never buy a Samsung device again. IMO, this kind of issue is unacceptable for a flagship phone. I know there cannot be a perfect phone, but with an issue like this where you can lose all your data and turn your phone into an expensive paperweight? This is really ridiculous.

I could live with battery issues, signal reception issues, screen issues of other phones, but with a defective memory chip that could brick anytime without warning?
[Galaxy S III General] EtienneBordeaux:
I guess I could live with that problem as long as my warranty is okay. It is a good thing to have a popular android phone because the development is better than the less popular ones.

What is the setup of your phone by the way? Rom, kernel, recovery?

How about flashing a stock rom thru odin with full wipe (including formatting the sd-card)? There is no harm in trying so why not give it a go.

*On a side note.

Flashing thru odin if you have the old bootloader is risky according to andreilux. (One of the respected developers here in xda)

ROM before it acted up was Wanamlite 5.3. If memory serves me right, I think it is based on the ELLA firmware. I flashed Perseus kernel and the latest Philz touch recovery. So as far as being "protected" from SDS, I should have. As for flashing a stock ROM, I am in the process of downloading one I got from sammobile. Damn hotfile is painfully slow though. I would give it a go once download completes.

I do have the old bootloader! jeez. Problem after problem. Could you point me to the right direction for the steps I should take to get this at least to stock, so that I can at least avail of my warranty?

I do agree with having the popular phone has its upside. Its just that the stress and hassle it causes when your device suddenly fails like this. This is my only device available to me right now, so yeah, no phone for a few days.

On a side note, to be fair, Samsung does have good customer service. My girlfriend's phone (we both got ours from Globe) died a couple of weeks ago. No power and all. She lost all her data on the phone, and was pretty stressed out for a few days. I was expecting the phone to be at the service center for a week or more as I was told it could take that long. I got a text message like three to four days after that the phone was ready for pickup.

I still hate Samsung though for this.:mad:
[Galaxy S III General] EtienneBordeaux:
Just flash it thru odin even if you have the old bootloader mate, your phone is already at risk so why not take another risk again? There's no other way I guess.

Your phone should have been protected based on that setup, oh well there's nothing we can do. Wear and tear? Too bad you have to look for a temporary phone until your s3 was good to go again. That would suck if I am in your position, my job would be ruined if I don't have my phone.

[Galaxy S III General] yethz:
As far as i know and recommended is to use the latest stable stock firmware.

Is it safe? No. Theres always a risk on flashing a rom. Either custom or stock and it varies from different cases. Hardware or software failure.

But if you are talking about the SDS fix, yes use the latest stock firmware or custom that includes latest patch. Though it is still not fully guaranteed that it wont happen.

[Galaxy S III General] rand0m_insanity:
Yeah, the job. Good thing that these days are "lean" days at work and I could live a couple of days without my phone. I just don't know how long it would stay that way.

Anyway, could you refresh my memory, that this stock ROM is flashed via Odin, right? And flashing via Odin increases the flash counter? Or would flashing an official ROM not count against it? I just checked my phone, luckily way back then, I set reset my flash counter, and right now it still shows my phone as "stock" and not tampered with. I just have to get rid of SU and the custom recovery then I can send it in for repairs. Or if luck is on my side, I'd have it working again.

My apologies for being more or less a n00b about this. This is my first Samsung device and going about stuff such as rooting/unrooting etc is much more complicated than what I was used to with other Android devices I had.
