Tulong Kabayan!

Pasensya na po kung itong post an ito ay ligaw, wala kasi akong mahanap na solusyon sa problemang ito. Medyo may katagalan na rin at disappointed na ako kasi sa sobrang dami ng sinubukan ko at mukhang walang nangyari. Yung SGS3 ko connected po sya sa wifi pero walang internet access. Wala ring apps na gumagana that require internet connection. Nung una, ayos naman at nakakakonek. I even enjoyed it for a month at bigla na lang ayaw kumonek at wala naman akong maisip na dahilan o ginawa ko kung bakit bigla2x nalang.

I tried all these but no joy:

1. *#0011#

2. restart modem & router several times

3. Hard reset yung phone/ restore factory settings

4. Dynamic IP to static

5. Change the kernel

6. di ko na maalala yung ibang sinubukan pero fail naman.

Lahat ng devices connected sa router DLINK 525 ay ayos namn, it works perfectly for my laptop, PC, & iphone pero yung SGS3 ayaw talaga.

Tulong namn mga kabayan bka may nakakaalam sa inyo paano ma solve ang probs na 'to o di kaya may thread kayong alam that will fix this problem, pa post naman..

Heto nga pala ung ibang info ng SGS3 ko,

Baseband: I19300NEDLI1

Version: 4.1.1

Kernel: 3.0.31 Siyah 1.7 rcl+

Phone is rooted thru CF root

All inputs are much appreciated. Thanks

Guys, I bought my S3 before locked with Globe. So i made the store where i bought it to open line the unit. When he did the open line process, i think he rooted my phone. i checked after and it is rooted. Will i still get the OTA Jellybean update if ever? I did not flash any rom or what. Im still using the stock official as of now.
[Galaxy S III General] daemn22:
Anyone here using MIUI ROM? highly recommended. Using it since my old desire 2 1 year ago. Lots of special features, very smart ui and well organized.
[Galaxy S III General] biosong:
sir please post in english.

for your problem, have u checked your apn settings? if not it will be the key to your problem.

or its the jb rom u have (long shot).
[Galaxy S III General] saywhatt:
If you can find an app that's called SuperSU, then you my friend are rooted and cannot get the OTA update..

However, if you are on stock, then yes, you can get the update
[Galaxy S III General] baste07:
There's no issue if i dont change on a custom rom right?

What's the csc for our country/region (i saw sma, glb, xtc and xte)

I bought an open line phone from samsung and using globe as my provider)
[Galaxy S III General] chermax14:
XTE - Philippines

XTC - SUN

GLB - Globe

SMA - Smart
[Galaxy S III General] prinzhernan:
XTC is for stock Philippines.
[Galaxy S III General] chermax14:
All those are stock firmwares.

XTE is for the unlocked / unbranded Philippine firmware
[Galaxy S III General] prinzhernan:
Really? I just checked and XTC is for stock Philippines.
[Galaxy S III General] rab1412000:
No issues at all. Just re flash it to our regions (when it's available) if you want to.

Use chermax list, for you it should be xte.
[Galaxy S III General] chermax14:
Yea.. just like i said, all those i listed are stock firmwares for the philippines.
[Galaxy S III General] ickoicko:
That's why i rooted mine the 2nd I got it since I bought one with no warranty ;)
[Galaxy S III General] prinzhernan:
Have you guys got any experiences with micro usb cables? I got a 3rd party usb otg cable and it works but it fits tightly that I have to exert a bit of effort to pull it out. Is this bad for the phone/port?
[Galaxy S III General] kanin_rider:
My phone still recieved OTA update from stock rooted LFB to LH1. It lost root though after ota. I guess if your phone status is saying 'modified' and not normal you will probably not going to recieve an OTA update.

I noticed that status will get to 'normal' when you do a nandroid backup and then restore it. Thats what i did to get normal status and got OTA update. :)
[Galaxy S III General] saywhatt:
Well to clear things up hear.. if you only have SuperSU or some apps from rooting, phone status would be "Normal"

when you flash CWM or any other mod/custom stuff, status will be "Modified" :)

---------- Post added at 10:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:40 AM ----------

it doesn't seem to cause deadly harm.. but be careful when you take it off..
[Galaxy S III General] kanin_rider:
Yes i know that, as ive said mine was stock BLFB rooted only (and with CWM recovery). No other mods and custom stuff. :)

When i first rooted my BLFB rom thru cf-root, the status says it was modified. Then after nandroid backup and restore, its back to normal status.

Now im on stock rooted DLJ2. And even if i flashed a crt off mod it still says my device is normal.

Correct me if im wrong, I guess it depends on how deep a root app or mod/tweak changes the inner workings of the stock os.. :)

tasker

can anyone recommend a good startup apps.
[Galaxy S III General] prinzhernan:
Since I use my phone a lot for work and school I always use Tasks which I download from the market so I have a to do list and ever note for all my notes. I use Google Chrome as a browser and Google currents and flip board for my news.

Where can I find latest modem for global
[Galaxy S III General] chermax14:

[Galaxy S III General] Hans Kruger:
Thank you
[Galaxy S III General] vincecabz101:
sir please post in english.

(Sorry, yeah sure I will)

for your problem, have u checked your apn settings? if not it will be the key to your problem.

(APN? where can I find these settings?, if found, what am gonna do with the APN?)

or its the jb rom u have (long shot).

(Mind if you could tell me or post here a good JB Rom?

By the way, if you say JB rom, are you referring to the firmware or android version, right?

Thanks again,.

i9305

Has anyone tried the i9305? I talked to some Smart customer reps and they told me that this model would connect to the LTE bands Smart has even if you have the phone plan with unlimited mobile data. Currently have i9300 but I'm thinking of swapping it to get the i9305 or n7105.

Some other recos

1. Swiftkey 3

2. PicSpeed Wallpapers

3. AirDroid

4. RealCalc

5. OfficeSuite (Was able to buy for P10! :) Original price is $15)

6. Flashlight

7. ConvertPad

8. SplashTop Remote
[Galaxy S III General] prinzhernan:
Not much difference. It's basically the s3 with lte speed and 2gb ram. The increased ram improves multi tasking. LTE drains battery like crazy. Most LTE phones do.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1951608
[Galaxy S III General] umbabarauma:
Yeah I would expect the battery to drain faster. How's your Note 2? Considering to get that one too.
[Galaxy S III General] pdmusico:
Hi I just flashed official JB rom I9300XXDLJ1 (this is France right?) over the first official JB release from Poland. I subscribed for the first time today to Globe's SuperSurf for one day before flashing the French rom. My data signal (is this the correct term?) was E (which was painully slow) then but after flashing it changed from E to H+ which I understand is better? I just want to understand what happened here. :) Thanks!
[Galaxy S III General] umbabarauma:
E means you're connected to Edge and H+ means you're connected to the HSPA+ network. H+ is faster. Sometimes it happens depending on the area.
[Galaxy S III General] pdmusico:
Yeah I know.. But all morning it was on E. Then right after I flashed it turned to H+. Anyway I think maybe it was cause of the reboot.
[Galaxy S III General] prinzhernan:
Even on stock it's flawless. No lag whatsoever. The 2gb ram helps it to multi task so easily compared to the s3. If you switch apps a lot and go back the phone doesn't close the old apps. Screen is nice, no color tint.
[Galaxy S III General] umbabarauma:
Don't know if you guys have checked this page out but you can check the update status for JB in different countries here.

---------- Post added at 03:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:42 PM ----------

Yeah, I was just playing around with my friend's Note 2 and it's really nice. Performance wise, it's a winner but I just love the S3's screen PPI. Things are just a lot sharper in S3. How much did you pay for the Note 2? I'll probably visit Greenhills to see if I can trade my S3 and just add a little bit more.
[Galaxy S III General] lawrrtan:
I just checked my phone status now. It says modified. But I didn't flash of put any mods in my phone. I won't get my OTA update if ever? In order to put back normal status is I should nandroid back up and restore?
[Galaxy S III General] umbabarauma:
I got my S3 from Smart but I flashed it to the UK ICS firmware to remove the Smart app/photos (changed the CSC so I was also able to update to JB via OTA when it came out). I've tried flashing other firmwares as well and on first run I could always connect to the H+ network. The E popped from time to time but only when I turn the data on when I'm on the road (usually EDSA). It connects to H+ after a few seconds. But at least you're able to connect to a faster network now! :)

---------- Post added at 04:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:54 PM ----------

I saw somewhere that you can update rooted phones via Kies. Anyway, to get back to normal status, I do this.

1. Back-up data

2. Use TriangleAway to reset counter to 0

3. Flash stock firmware via Odin

4. Full wipe including the cache (to make sure it's clean)
[Galaxy S III General] pdmusico:
About CSC. How can I check mine? :) I tried to check it with CSC changer app for S3 available on Google Play but I got an error. Saying something like "PreconfigUI does not support SingleCSC?" What does that mean exactly?

What prompted me to ask what happened to my signal was because I just stayed in my room all morning so I thought maybe it was the rom change or something. But then yeah I realized maybe my phone just needed to reboot? Anyway, yeah! I was happy about it actually. :))
[Galaxy S III General] umbabarauma:
The Poland Firmware (XEO) can't change CSCs so even the app can't do it. Even the *#272*IMEI#(or * can't remember correctly) won't be able to do it. I tried it but since I came from a different firmware, it won't be able to detect the correct firmware version for OTA/Kies updates unless I change the CSC to match the proper firmware. You can try flashing to the UK version and change the CSC from there (Unlocked/Unbranded UK CSC is BTU). But remember, changing CSCs will do a full wipe.

NEED HELP WI-FI Problem

Hi guys, I posted here yesterday about wifi problems which I haven't resolved for so long now. But since my post was in Tagalog so I assumed it was removed so again I am seeking help to anyone who could help me out with this issue.

My galaxy S3 for no reason just suddenly didn't have have internet access. It shows that I am connected to wifi but whenever I tried opening a browsers (chrome, UCB & dolphin) & any other apps that require connection, I get no joy.

I tried the following but seemed no solution to the issue:

1.restarting & resetting the wifi router Motorola Router WR850G model

2.hard reset/ factory reset/ wipe cache partition

3.updated firmwares to 4.1.1 I9300XXDLI8

4. updated kernel to siyah latest version

5. did the *#0011# tricks

6. dynamic to static IP

7. any other petty things I could search of from forums

I have no issues about wifi since the time I get the unit not until today.

Any help is very much appreciated. Thanks
[Galaxy S III General] pdmusico:
Actually I was able to check my CSC when I was on the Poland rom. I'm now on the French one. And I can't check the CSC.
[Galaxy S III General] umbabarauma:
I9300XXDLI8 is the leaked version. Why don't you try using the UK official release since it came out already. Have you tried using the carrier's mobile data?

---------- Post added at 04:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:24 PM ----------

Try *#1234#

It'll show the phones AP, CP and CSC. But if the product code doesn't match it'll be hard for you to get OTA/Kies updates. If you're using the French (unbranded) firmware, your product code should be GT-i9300MBDXEF in Sammobile's app.
[Galaxy S III General] kanin_rider:
I suggest that you try nandroid backup and restore first. It works for me. Many times when i get modified status after modifying something, i just back it up and then restore. Poof! Normal again. :)

Well if it doesnt work, try plan b. Reflash rom.

yo dudes, any idea where i can buy DBA "Just Like Glass®" Screen Protector? I wanna try it out.. aand i cant order online because i don't have a paypal account or any online banking stuffs..
[Galaxy S III General] pdmusico:
Here's what I got. Just to be clear... Why do I have to change CSC again?
[Galaxy S III General] saywhatt:
CSC is used for OTA updates.. it's like a region thing

(Or so i think lol)
[Galaxy S III General] pdmusico:
Are the OTA updates about the only things I'll be missing if I don't have the right CSC? And which CSC should I have anyway? I flashed the French rom so does that mean I have its CSC too? Don't know how to check. But when I was on the Polish rom I was sure my CSC was XTC. I was able to check it thru that CSC Select app.
[Galaxy S III General] saywhatt:
Wtf is wrong with me today -.-

Check this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1801022

*sigh. Sorry for the misstatement
[Galaxy S III General] pdmusico:
It's okay. :) I've actually read about CSC before but I didn't fully understood its importance. Basically all I got from reading about it is that I need to have the correct CSC to be able to receive OTA updates. Haha.
[Galaxy S III General] kanin_rider:
Adding to that CSC stuff, it also contains the specific bloatwares (if carrier branded) and other stuff, apps, bootanimations, wallpaper specific to that country/region/carier.

Thats why if you flash/change your csc to a branded one, it will have carrier specific app/boot animation etc (Sweden csc for example has telenor app) . Whereas an unbranded csc has stock boot animation no additional apps compared to branded ones.

Take a look inside multi csc and branded csc flashable zips for you to know what i mean. :)
[Galaxy S III General] umbabarauma:
Yup. Sometimes when you flash firmware, the csc doesn't match the product code. When you check for updates, it won't download. :)
[Galaxy S III General] pdmusico:
Thanks! Will start reading up on those two. :)

If i i flash via odin, my files and all wont be deleted right? I just did a nandroid back up and restored. Device status is modified. Im just using the stock official when i got the phone. Then it was open lined. Didnt install or flash anything. Will i still get OTA even if modified status device?

It's so frustrating! I switch to a jelly case for 1 day and my phone gets scratched in the part where it's covered. I think what the others said in the accessories section is true, dirt and grit can get into the loose parts of the jelly case and rub on the phone, causing scratches.

I have a question: Why do I see a lot of people preferring Galaxy Nexus over S3? Is it solely due to the codes not released by Samsung? or is Nexus really a good phone?
[Galaxy S III General] astrall:
Software/Support-wise, GNex is better than S3. Because main supports(AOSP) are provided by Google not by Samsung.

Hardware-wise, S3 of course. But GNex's hardware is enough to run latest Android version.

Personally I would never get a phone made by LG. Too many horror stories from friends who patronized their phones. Mostly build quality issues. For their sake I hope they do well.

maybe youre on a custom rom, in that case it wont update.

you can however dl it from here:

I am on official rom and kies is recognizing the firmware i am on.. What could be the problem?

does your phone have an ntc sticker?

if not it could be an import from another country where jb has not been released.
[Galaxy S III General] achuhin:
I got mine from globe postpaid. does it follow that u can update through OTA once the firmware has been released?
[Galaxy S III General] rab1412000:
i believe so,dozens and dozens of guys are d/l'ing it ( as per the sg3 fb page) as of now. im not, but it is reflecting on my ota update.
[Galaxy S III General] achuhin:
what do i need to check to have this working?
[Galaxy S III General] rab1412000:
if youre sure of your nfc stickers, non-custom roms, proper apn settings, etc and you are still not recieving updates, it could be that the servers are bogged down. try in a few hours.

or just push it thru odin if you know how :)
[Galaxy S III General] vinbaure:
I don't know if this will work in your part but you could clear the data of your Google Services Framework. I am on Globe Postpaid and I also have the same problem as yours.
