I did a backup first then flashed the vodafone nz firmware over it which included the modem file. Same problem persists. 2100mhz is fine. As soon as it drops to 900mhz it goes to GPRS type speeds. If the apn was wrong the 2100mhz wouldnt work so its setup properly. Something isnt right. both models may have the 900mhz but i fear telecom have done something to the 900mhz band that or this is a dud unit.

Anyone out there with a telecom unit on vodafone that lives out of town that is getting good 900mhz?
[Galaxy S III General] onslaught86:
You say speeds, but is it actually connected to GPRS (With a G in the status bar) rather than 3G/H/H+?

Friends are using the T on Voda/2degrees fine (2d have 900mhz 3G in a few areas), I have the regular flavour myself. Really odd, as the hardware support is definitely there. Hopefully yours isn't a dud, that'd be really poor luck.
[Galaxy S III General] Xsannz:
Nope but lots of threads on this.

There are three variants i9300 i9300t and i9300g

T is telecom Telstra Optus etc.

On circuit board there are three antenna mounts eu au and in.

Eu is i9300 international variant most people have.

I9300t is for carriers like telecom etc who wanted branded firmware and different connectivity spectrums yes all s3 cover same spectrum but T models have been tuned to be more focused and provider specific spectrums.

I9300g is india and suspect similar to the way the T model But focused on other spectrums.

Hope this helps.

Also T models and G models do not support fast dormancy and as such you cannot enable it any which way.

Where as I9300 does and is on btw default ... which is why using it on telecom causes battery drain and wakelocks.
[Galaxy S III General] shami_n:
Sorry for this basic qn. What is a fast dormancy ?

I am using S3 on Telecom xt.

[Galaxy S III General] dr.m0x:
Anyone able to comment on battery life with telecom? Thinking about turning to the dark side for the better data coverage.
[Galaxy S III General] onslaught86:
FWIW, lokhor has had battery issues with both his SII & SIII, and he's on XT - I'd say it depends specifically on coverage in your area. Any friends or family on XT frequent the same places as you? As long as reception is good, I'd imagine battery life will be just fine.
[Galaxy S III General] dr.m0x:
Don't know any xt users with the sgs3. I forgot sgs2 had fast dormancy as well and I know a few xt users with those. Thanks for jogging my memory, can make some enquiries New.
[Galaxy S III General] P1n3apqlExpr3ss:
VF S3 on Telecom here, stock LF2 at the moment

Battery wise it's nice and seemingly pretty much in line with what I've seen with others on stock. Yesterday I had one day where I thought I had the One X back but it turns out something kept on waking googles location services. Got a VF microsim but haven't been bothered to activate it yet

Oh and FD being enabled hasn't bothered me at all, may or may not be because I run juice defender
[Galaxy S III General] dr.m0x:
Maybe I should just get a skinny SIM and do some testing
[Galaxy S III General] Zikor:
You're draining more battery than what you are actually saving with Juice Defender.

Honestly, having DF disabled didn't really improved the battery life on my S3. I had my phone full charged till 5% and FD wakelocks was only around 20 minutes max which is no biggie.
[Galaxy S III General] Jarsky:
Hey guys, I actually have one of the Telecom XT S3's, and am running the ParanoidAndroid rom. It's pretty sweet, but I think I actually prefer the ICS 4.0.4 that came with the phone. Do any of you know how I can get the Telecom ROM or even just what unbranded ROM would work with my phone? :)
[Galaxy S III General] Xsannz:
Use btu stock unbranded Rom xxblfb it works well.

I have not found a stock telecoms Rom as yet and I search daily looks like telecom haven't fed it back to Samsung as all other i9300t telcos seem to have finally released theirs... p.s if yours is a telecom model the stock Rom are under i9300t butility as I said none avail for tcom

Just grab the xxblfb Rom
[Galaxy S III General] Jarsky:
Cheers Xsannz - so I shouldn't use the Thailand one? It was the only stock rom I could find specifically for the i9300T, though the closest I could find was the Vodafone AU one - which of course would be branded Vodafone which I'm not to keen on.

If I use the xxblfb rom, do I need to update the Modem also for the 850Mhz?
[Galaxy S III General] Xsannz:
Grab xxblfb and then see if you can grab the modem file from one of the i9300t Roms like the Thailand one.

In Odin flash the main big firmware ninth pda bit like all the guides show.

And put the modem file in the phone bit.

That way you get the unbranded Rom and the i9300t specific modem... also you could flash the csc file for the I9300t as it helps with carrier specific apn settings

[Galaxy S III General] ivanvt1:
Hi, i have a Telecom Galaxy S3 with Vodafone Sim Card, however i installed the latest LG1 firmware from sammobile and it working better than the original stock rom which was very old. This last rom also have the latest modem firmware and i havent had any problems.
[Galaxy S III General] Zikor:
That won't work, the XXLFB rom only takes LFB modems....if you try flashing that mentioned modem you'll have an unknown baseband.. which was mentioned somewhere around the GS3 thread, cant really be bothered looking for it at the moment.
[Galaxy S III General] Xsannz:
It worked for me and it shows my baseband
[Galaxy S III General] jeffnz:
I flashed a custom lfb rom and flashed the latest I9300t modem and as previously said it didn't work and needed lfb modem. Basically the mic didn't work for me.
[Galaxy S III General] Xsannz:
Ok well just found the same issue thanks hadn't made many calls lol

Right so I used lfb Rom and just changed cc file now and all works
[Galaxy S III General] Zikor:
Yes in that case it might work but issues will occur which obviously you just encountered.. We obviously have to wait for an actual T version update for our device, either way LFB Modems is pretty good I don't really see much speed difference between the actual T modems...

No blotches on my pepple blue s3.
[Galaxy S III General] patrickslee:
I've been using a 2degrees SGS3 on Skinny (XT) with Omega 10 (LG6) and Syiah kernel without any problems.
[Galaxy S III General] jovu55:
I have three to four blotches (more like small dots) when viewed in complete darkness with a full black background. Doesn't appear in any other circumstances, media can be watched no problem. I have only noticed it a few times only at night though. Everything else is perfect so I am content with keeping my unit.

Cannot be stuffed with returning it as I have already waited long enough for my 32GB unit here. Oddly enough, have a friend whose SGS3 has more blotches but again this is only visible if we test in total darkness. He also don't really care much of it, as it doesn't really affect daily use.

I congratulate anyone who has a perfect handset cos IMO you are very lucky.

One thing that has failed is my travel adapter (wall socket adapter) - it stopped working, do you reckon I can get a replacement? Rather want the same Samsung one!
[Galaxy S III General] corrsea:
My travel adapter failed as well. I just brought it back to Noel leamings and demanded a replacement which they had to take out of the box for another S3.
[Galaxy S III General] dr.m0x:
Of course you can get a replacement under warranty. The Consumer Guarantees Act is one of the many wonderful things about living in New Zealand.
[Galaxy S III General] Xsannz:
The CGA is also the most misquoted thing around and people try to use it to get everything for free....
[Galaxy S III General] dr.m0x:
Lol true but then your average person is quite stupid.
[Galaxy S III General] jovu55:
Well I did end up taking it back that day and got a brand new travel adapter. They guy just went to the store room and returned with a brand new one, so I was happy with that.

Everything is fine now.

One little nag, (software wise) is that after trying lightflow, it seems that when going to my apps folders it read aloud folder open/closed when I perform those actions. After googling, it seems as though it is android playing up with lightflow. BTW, I have tried disabling the TTS and it seems it only does this with Lightflow enabled within Accessibility settings.

I will have to use default LED notifications, which is fine.

Well, i flashed stock version of BTU LE8, same thing as the 2deg version of the s3. I used the *#272*imei# and changed my csc to BTU from KOR. After setting up again, the phone received OTA and Kies updates. Now im on the latest LG8. Was a good move.

Hey guys, after a couple months of swinging around with AOKP ROM I've decided to switch back to stock for a while.

I picked up firmware I9300XXLF2 off samfirmware.com, but I'm not sure if my kernel is stock or not. Any help would be great!

Thanks in advance :good:
[Galaxy S III General] P1n3apqlExpr3ss:
Flashing the original firmware should also flash the kernel, so I'm willing to bet on that is indeed the stock kernel
[Galaxy S III General] todd_10:
You think? Thanks :good:

I guess all in all it shouldn't really matter, I'm just a bit of a stickler for things like that haha.

Hey guys, has anyone managed to get the Snapper App working correctly on a non 2 Degrees ROM? My S3 is an non-branded one I got from Oz which I flashed the stock 2 Degrees ROM on but I didn't have the Snapper SIM or app at the time so I'm not sure if it would have worked without doing this? I've read that the 2 Degrees ROM has some API's which allow the Snapper app to correctly display the balance etc but the actual snapper SIM\card functionality (e.g swiping on the bus) would still work on any ROM......?

hi guys?

short question: will it be possible to install win8 on archos g9?
[Gen9, Gen10 General] Number0ne99:

Hi,

i think it isn't possible because the boot procedure is totally different as on PC-Hardware.

Cu
[Gen9, Gen10 General] DragosP2010:
1. Blasphemy.

2. Copyright.

3. Drivers.

4. Why?:eek:

no i wanted to ask: will it be possible to install the arm (tablet) version of windows8 on archos g9 models.
[Gen9, Gen10 General] DragosP2010:
Read my word: NO.
[Gen9, Gen10 General] 751114:
1: well, android itself is some kind of blasphemy (from unix point of view) isn't it?

2: who cares :-)

3: real problem

4: dunno :-)
[Gen9, Gen10 General] gen_scheisskopf:
Very unlikely:

a) no drivers

b) no *proper windoze bootloader* (yes, boot process is different than in linux/android)

c) copyrights etc (unless you would buy a license from M$)

d) why? :p
[Gen9, Gen10 General] Kanalcommander:
Why should there be copyright issues? If you buy a windows licence you may instal it on one device. The only question is if Microsoft sells ARM version to customers or only together with devices.

I think the greatest problem will be the bootloader.

And doing so just to show it works is reason enough.

[Gen9, Gen10 General] DarkhShadow:
True, but only YOU could use it

I don't think this is possible.

For one thing it requires a locked and encrypted bootloader and then it has very strict requirements

[Gen9, Gen10 General] esque:
No. Windows RT is just not meant to be installed on existing hardware.

Microsoft will only sell it to OEMs, and those will install it on hardware that fits the requirements.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cptnodegard:
Trying to make Tasker automatically open and populate Astrid todo's task edit fields the way that so many other apps can using the Share menu. With pretty much any app being able to do this using Share, I figured it wouldn't be too hard to make Tasker do the same, but I'm having trouble finding out how.

I'm using the beta of Tasker so Send Intent replaces the previous two intent actions. The fields available are Action, Category, Mime Type, Extra, Package, Class, and Target. Right now Package is set to com.timsu.astrid and Class to com.todoroo.astrid.activity.TaskEditActivity, which manages to open the task edit screen. That intent is however from the Astrid widget so I don't know if that's even the right thing to use if doing this via the Share ability.

I'm not a dev so doing this blindly. Any help would be appreciated

When I view a picture in the stock gallery app and I turn the phone from portrait to landscape or vice versa, the picture doesn't rotate. Instead I need to tap once on the picture to reveal the menus and then press the rotate button (on the top bar, second from the right) for the picture to turn.

Is there a way to make it auto rotate like in the stock ICS gallery?:confused:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nadram:
This may sound stupid but bring down your notification bar and check if screen rotation is on.

Anyway, wouldn't be surprised if it were a bug. I have a couple of bugs in my gallery app. Some pictures flip 180 automatically and some stretch to landscape and distort instead of staying in portrait
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daisun:
Thanks for the reply. Auto rotate works everywhere else. It even works in the gallery app all the way until you select one picture and view it full screen. It seems as though it was designed that way because the rotate button actually lights up when you turn from portrait to landscape and vice versa.

\edit I've attached a screenshot of the rotate icon. Its the second one from the right on the top menu bar. This icon is grey when in portrait. When I turn my phone to landscape the picture doesn't rotate, instead that icon becomes white and pressable.
[General Questions and Answers] pwnerman:
Hey guys this is my last place to turn before I just go buy a new one but I want to see if anyone at all can help me.

I have a Sandisk 32 GB Class 4 Micro Sd. I bought it off a guy on the xda marketplace and it was in the factory packaging and took me a half hour to get out so I doubt it was fake unless people forge the packaging.

Well the other day I went to copy a file onto the card by mounting it to the computer. It copied just fine but when I unmounted the card and went onto the phone the file was no where to be found. This was off to me so I mounted the card again and it opened fine but there was no file. I then copied it again and it said it worked like it normally does. i unmounted then mounted right away and guess what the file didn't exist.

This is where it gets interesting.

I then mount the card again and select everything and delete it all. It says it works fine. I then disconnect the card then mount it again and guess what all the files are back. Like nothing happened. I then proceed to format in windows by right clicking and hitting format. It didnt do anything. I then go into recovery on the phone and try and format it. Nothing happens. I then connect the card directly to the computer with a micro to sd card adapter that is made by sandisk. It mounts to the computer fine. I then go into Easeus Partition Manager and click format. It finishes and comes up with an error saying There are some error occurred while writing partition chains on disk.

If anyone has any idea please help.

UPDATE: I have contacted Sandisk and they are going to send me a brand new card.

If you're after space to install apps, you're better off looking into 'Apps2SD' for your Desire. Nowadays the Desire is quite handicapped by its memory capacity, however you can use Apps2SD to set up a partition on your SD card to act as app storage, getting around the issue nicely.

Good luck! :)

hey, first android device and first post. so i followed the rom instrutions on this thread ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1468998 ), and used odin to install on my korean S2 hd lte (that already had the new ics 4.0.3 firmware from kies) TeamLeader 1.3.7 to get around the "invalid sender" problem.

problem is, now, everything, and i mean EVERYTHING comes up as an error.

force close seems to be the norm on any app... occasionally, when messages stays on for longer than 20 seconds, i can just barely send a text message - and the invalid sender thing doesnt pop up anymore. but in a few seconds, surely enough (on pretty much any app) something, usually some obscure program, force closes.

so n00b post here, asking, what the hell did i do wrong?

i didnt do the whole fb05 thing on that link, cus i thought it was only if you wanted to back your thing up... but hell, i didnt (and still dont) even know what tegrak is supposed to do... not to flaunt ignorance, but this whole process is just way too confusing for me, and i'm desperately in need of help.

should i re-install ics? or should i get the stock firmware from gingerbread, do that fb05 and tegrak thing, then do the TL1.3?

if anyone is around in vancouver, bc, i'll be happy to pay to get this fix; otherwise, please comment! anything at all will be appreciated. thank you!
