[Galaxy S III General] Jo_Ki:
Hi again,

I can confirm that the NFC is working on the live demo unites. According to the original S3 user manual the NFC antennas are build into the battery back.

I still can't figure out what is the "W2" antenna connector for. The Live demo unit has no connector soldered to the motherboard and also lacks the small PCB antenna with the white coaxial cable. Some ppl claim that the W2 is for WiFi antenna, but it is not, because I got great WiFi connectivity tho the lack of such PCB antenna. I can only confirm the WiFi working fine, under "G" type of WiFi networks. The openWRT firmware of my current router has known bug and I can't bring up "N" standard in air, to check if the PCB antenna is for "N" type of WiFi networks.

I also did some testing to see if the PCB is for GLONASS or GPS, and it seams that this PCB antenna with the white coaxial cable is not for any of these services. That's why I think it might be for wifi "N" or 3G data/networks. Donno if the 802.11n requires a separate antenna.
[Galaxy S III General] E:V:A:
^^ Please post a link to a specific image, that clearly show the connector(s) you're talking about.
[Galaxy S III General] Redrigon:
Hi I have a live demo unit to, so I think I can help about this =).

I can't show you the mainboard back because I' m new user... xD

I don't really know what you mean with NFC (sorry, I'm not really good with english)

But

W1 is a GSM external antenna conection

W2 is a wifi external antenna conection

And the white wired antenna is for wifi to.

After thinking a lot, if you conect an antenna to the GSM antenna conection (external or the internal lacked in Demo unit) you probably can't use phone function.

That function probably was crippled by software or because demo units don´t have imei maybe o.o.

The only thing I need to try is to connect a microsim to the phone

Samsung galaxy S3 i747

i have a Galaxy S3 SGH-i747m that has been water damaged and given to me so i could try and fix it. I can take pretty much any pictures you want, have openned the phone a couple times now to try and clean it up.

My problem is that the works well, it starts up, unlock the screen, plays sound...but the screen is off. Now at first when i was "playing" with it the screen would flicker on and off to show me the battery charging logo when it was plugged in. I've cleaned the phone and all flex connectors with some products. the phone still turns on and works but my screen is off. It detects the touch since i can unlock the screen ( it plays the water sound when i slide my finger on the screen) and speaker works when i boot it up (little booting sounds).

I was thinking there might be a small fuse on board for the screen backlight and that could be blown. I was also thinking my battery might be damaged and is not giving the phone the right voltage to the right connectors or something so i have ordered a new battery on ebay (under 4$) and am waiting for it.

Anyone has an idea to some specific things i should be looking for ? only thing haven't disassemble is the digitizer from the framebecause doing so would surely break the glass. It bums me up a bit since there are some electronics behind the frame that could have been damaged by the water that i couldn't see.
[Galaxy S III General] elerepair:
check if you can see anything on the screen, use some extra light, torch for example.

if so - then its more likely that the LEDs in the display panel are damaged, since it flickered, as you said. also could be the driver circuit for backlight. Clean connectors for display panel, use magnifier, or better microscope to check for corrosion. use IPA to clean or scrape off the corrosion.

also - maybe this is not the right place to discuss this.

Watter damage, LCD working/not working?

I have identical symptoms with my i9300.

1. Water damaged

2. Dried in a can of rice etc over several days

3. Cleaned under sim card, lots of debris there, looked scorched, I cleaned with alcohol and a brush in an ESD protected environment.

4. Re assembled, the display briefly flashed on, and showed the expected "Battery is low, an d No Sim Card" then powered off.

5. Now after charging the battery and emplacing my sim card, I hear the proper musical tones when the phone boots but the screen doesn't light.

Where you able to get the screen working?

I am going to try a more throughal cleaning and I will try viewing the LCD under a more power full light.

I too worry that just getting the LCD screen replaced might not work; the screen may be fine but the mother board LCD power supply might be at fault...

I will keep you posted and keep an eye on this forum to find out how to fix this.

to be true to the thread ..

i tried all the roms available in SGY section .. liked some & disliked some.

currently using Chobits v2

My personal taste is the PURITY. Just need SPEED, Stability and Good Battery Backup.

so if the thread is not gonna deleted i have a request.

**************************************************

Based on stock kernel , stock rom [like DDLE1], having stock launcher, stock msging app, stock dialer ... nearly everything stock

but exclude NOTIFICATION TOGGLE ... put 14 toggles (Will be great if WIFI HOTSPOT will be added as 15th one :D)

tweaks like V6supercharger,st@matis, adrenaline, etc to remove lag and increase speed,

improved battery backup

theming not needed

Swype not needed

rooted

Built-in Ads Blocker

Apps2SD Enable

Bloatwares removed

useless apps removed [like yahoo finance]

icons preferred stock one's

Stock boot animation & sounds

Instead of battery bar .... number display for remaining battery preferred.

enhanced music .... DSP, BEATS preffered

zipaligned, deodexed and whatever u wish to include / exclude but u should be having pureness in mind. :)

Thanks in advance.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaTiCeK-:
So I got my SGS3 yesterday and noticed that the Android File Transfer app won't work, which used to work well when I owned a Galaxy Nexus. I tried it on 2 different Macs and it won't work on neither. The app does not recognize the phone being connected.

When I connected it on windows (bootcamp, same Mac) it was recognized, so it's not a hardware fail, it's a software bug.

My Q is, has anybody successfully managed to use the Android File Transfer app together with a Galaxy S3.

Thx, all the help greatly appreciated.

EDIT:

I just tried setting the USB Connection mode to Camera (PTP) and Android File Transfer now sees my phone. Everything is fine. :)

But, DAMN YOU SAMSUNG, code more carefully!

enabling camera/PTP mode for usb connection

Hi, I am struggling with this problem of AFT not working with samsung S3. Could you elaborate on how and where to make this change in USB setting - is it on the camera or macbook pro?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] storvay:
On your phone, when connected to the AFP program on your mac, you'll see a USB symbol in the notification area. Pull it down and you'll see it says something like 'Connected as media device' and it'll give you options underneath that to change it. Select that and you'll get to a settings page which will allow you to set your phone as a media device ((MTP) or as a camera (PTP) - do the latter and it should work fine.

I have to say, I love this phone but am not overly enamoured with the mac syncing aspect of it. Most apps in the store are flaky at best or don't work at all, TBH. Using the above method, I've managed to get my media over to the phone by dragging/dropping from iTunes and iPhoto.

Problem is, I still can't find a way for my computer to - reliably - see my phone as a camera when I plug it in e.g. invisible to iPhoto and Image capture.

If you find a way around my problem, please post it up. HTH.

Thanks for that. Had a look at Airdroid and it seems really slick. Pity though, as it has issues with external storage.

Never mind, I'm dragging/dropping stuff from iPhoto/iTunes to folders which I the keep in sync with CheetahSync. It's all a bit inelegant, but it does the job for now.

Still having trouble

I'm having serious trouble with AFT and tried what's been suggested here but it's still not working for me.

I've installed AFT on my MacBook (OS X Lion).

All that happens is in all tries is that when I plug in the S3, AFT simply says:

"Could not connect to device

Try reconnecting or restarting your device"

I tried both with no luck. I tried it with selecting Camera (PTP) mode and then with Media device (MTP) mode. No luck. I tried both with and without "USB debugging" selected. No luck. I tried reinstalling AFT. No luck. Restarting my MacBook. No luck.

Any ideas?

Just a heads up. Installing AFT on my macbook air caused my usb to Ethernet dongles to stop working. AFT had to be removed to fix them. Applecare are aware and IIRC blame Google.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vladimirhumbert:
You're right as it doesn't seem to recognise the S3 at all when on MTP but AFT starts up each time I select PTP (i.e. my Mac recognises it when in the Camera mode) but I just end up getting the "Could not connect to device, Try reconnecting or restarting your device" message.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rostol:

AFT used to work, no longer does

Hi

I had this problem when I just got my Galaxy S3 at the end of May, and switching the connection mode to camera (ptp) did the trick. Now, however, regardless of the connection type I have chosen or whether or not I have enabled debugging, I cannot use AFT. At no point does it recognize my device, it just keeps telling me "No Android device found. Please connect your Android device with a USB cable to get started." I have reinstalled the program and still no luck.

Further info: I'm running 10.7.4 on an early 2011 15 inch MacBook Pro

Please help
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tanseerj:
Samsung changed something in firmware LFB that doesn't allow AFT to connect in MACs anymore.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Incarniac:
Yeah, MTP never worked for me on my Macbook, while PTP worked as a workaround until LFB (and later). With LFB changing to PTP (by default) pops up Image Capture, which, if everything worked as it should, is what you'd expect I suppose. The problem is that Image Capture doesn't find any pictures on the device even though it recognises that an I9300 is connected - and Android File Manager now doesn't work in either MTP or PTP mode.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FrezoreR:
So I am not the only one not being able to transfer files using AFT? Or has someone figured it out?

Well I run KIES now and open the file browser that way. The only way I could make work on OSX. On windows I have no problems just connecting it and accessing.

Since the bright folks at HTC/Google took away the Search Button how do you search your contacts INSIDE Google Nav?

So frustrating.

On EVO 3D and EVO 4G I used to install ASOP Contacts.APK.

From the home screen I could hit Search say a Contact Name and it would pop up the Conact (once you set things up right). A Google Nav Icon would be next to the Address in the Contact and I'd click it and be on my way.

So I gave that up for now. HTC Sense (People) puts Google Maps next to your Address which requires a lot more waiting and many more clicks.

So fine, I'll go to Nav directly and search my contacts.

Now I can't do that.

It works well on most of my phones (HTC touch Diamond 2, HTC HD mini, Galaxy Ace) but it does not work on my Sony Neo V and Motorola XT532. It seems these phones stop the charging after connecting which makes the battery think/decide that charging is not needed and it automatically switches off.

On my Sony, i don't see anything happening when trying to charge. on my Motorola I see it blinking for one second (with the charging sign on) and then it stops.

Any idea why this is happening? Is this something in the battery driver?
