try a different kernel such as Siyah or Perseus. but it will break your video recording as they both not fully compatible for Android 4.1.2 based Sammy ROMs. video recording can be fixed by replacing your libs from a 4.1.1 based ROM. let me know if this helps

Edit: User Marcello has put together a cwm flashable zip of 4.1.1 camera libs for this. Just install it in recovery after you install the kernel you are good to go :)

i9305 Low in call volume?

Hi everyone,

Just recently updated my i9300 to a stock (unrooted) 4G i9305 with Optus... Love the phone - but have noticed the in-call volume is really low compared to the i9300.. so much so it can be really hard to hear a call if its not a quiet environment. The person on the other end can hear me just fine, and yeah have made sure the volume toggles are all the way up. Any ideas??? Faulty unit?? or have others experienced this with Optus?

Thanks
[Galaxy S III General] kamalmawa:
have you tired with your headset ?
[Galaxy S III General] arctophile:
Hi All,

Have just searched through the thread but can't find an answer to my specific question. Has anyone else got a Telstra i9305T and tried to connect it to the Optus 4G network?

I won one in a raffle recently (yeah I know, pretty awesome ;)) but can't afford Telstra's data rates, so I hooked it up to Virgin $29 BYO postpaid. They activated 4G for me, and when I use the "virgininternet" APN at my place the phone instantly displays a 4G signal (2/3 bars). However, after that it just sits there pinging the network (sad little green arrow), and doesn't get any orange download arrow love - even after several minutes. Same deal on "internet" APN. For some reason,, the "yesinternet" APN doesn't connect to 4G at all (phone is set to auto LTE/WCDMA/GSM).

I am in Gardenvale, VIC, which is towards the edge of Optus' 4G coverage map, but I'm not convinced that signal strength is the problem. I guess I'll have to try it nearer the city and/or with a Telstra SIM to eliminate all possible issues, but it would save me time and money if someone else has had the same exp. and knows how to make 4G work.

Cheers.

hi everyone! I have a question. I have the unlocked International variant of the Galaxy S3 (i9300) and I currently live in the Philippines. My family (including me) will be migrating to Australia this January 2013. My Question is can I use this phone there? do I need to change the modem of my phone for me to be able to use it there?

Everything should be fine. The modem should also work fine, but based on the area in which you will be staying, some modems will get you better coverage than in other areas. You will just have to try them out

Recap: The optus LE8 download fails with Check fus downloader so we have no way of restoring back to stock for warranty. (so i'm not going for a custom rom yet)

I rooted with the CF-Root, which does not flash an unsecured kernel as far as I believe.

What i think needs to be done is to find a stock recovery image file, as well as a way to unroot the files without being on the phone. Or unroot the files on the phone, doing another nandroid backup just leaving the replacement of the recovery image.

All this is purely speculation to whether this can be done and is me thinking out aloud hoping for someone to put me on the correct path.
[Galaxy S III General] androb0t:

i hope my phone will last at least 22 months from now since it has been running latest XXALF2 firmware, and both custom kernel and ROM....
[Galaxy S III General] sxi200:
This is a good way to get a copy of stock. But for anyone who wants to post their nandroid cwm backup I would recommend they first factory reset then backup. If they don't then those who use the backup will have the original play store login. Wouldn't want people purchasing apps under my account.

Also, even if the backup is of a rooted from it shouldn't matter. Users can just flash a stock recovery to remove root.
[Galaxy S III General] MrIwik:
Just go in store or to a place like telechoice. I got my blue one days ago and they had heaps in stock..

download the cwm flashable TDULH1 modem+RIL package I posted few pages back and just replace the files inside "system\lib" with the ones you extracted from your desired firmware and delete the modem.bin file or replace it with LJ2

RILS are ROM system files that optimized for specific Modem(baseband) even though any modem will work with any RIL files. It supposed to improve your data speed, battery life etc when you have matching RIL to your baseband. ;)

You really don't need to replace your RIL unless you running an AOSP based ROMs... Also I don't think ICS RIL files will work with JB Sammy ROMs...

Excellent news.

I'm on VF but manually installed the unbranded UK XXDLJ4 ROM a while ago. What's my best approach for getting this upgrade (and getting back onto the standard VF release path):

1) Restore my nandroid backup of the stock TDUBLH1 ROM and wait for the update, or

2) Wait for someone to upload the TDUDLK1 ROM somewhere and manually install it over the top of XXDLJ4? Will this even work?

Thanks.

[Galaxy S III General] tqgia2:
I'd say wait for sammobile, they are bound to do it soon enough. its 700 odd MB so it's not a walk in the park to upload (well for me that is, optus upload speeds are terrible)

Well I downgraded to DULH1, updated the 30 or so apps that had had updates since I did the nandroid backup, restored my texts and call logs then checked for updates - nothing. Is everyone seeing the update now or is it being staged?

I then plugged the phone into my PC and ran Kies and got "Your device's firmware version is not supported to update firmware via Kies". WTF? As far as I can tell my phone is back to stock - could it be the flash counter that's causing trouble with Kies?

At this rate I'll go back to the UK unbranded ROM and wait for Sammobile to put up the update unless anyone else has a better idea.

Incidentally, you really notice how much more responsive JB is when you go back to ICS :)
[Galaxy S III General] jerverg:
There is. I'm running one now. But it's ICS. It's for Thailand I think. I tried the New Zealand one, but there is a boot animation of maybe New Zealand Telecom or whatever. So I opted for the Thailand one, which is free of any bloatware.

I only got my S3 a week ago (i'm on VF AU) and not being able to edit the home row REALLY pissed me off.

I've been meaning to write up a post describing it all, but I wanted to wait for JB to come out to see if they turned ti back on again or if you had to do it a different way this time. Also, I'm new to this site, and I havent' spent an awful lot of time looking to see if it has already been documented, so I don't want ot post a duplicate till i'm sure.

Making your home row editable again [ICS][JB]

Ok. I'm now JellyBeaned, and it works in exactly the same way.

Accidental credit for this discovery, btw, goes to This Thread. I was applying the update as described about muting the stock camera, and realised that, for some reason, after adding this xml file the home row was editable again. Took me a little while to figure out exactly why...

Anyway...if you look in /system/csc there's already present a file called others.xml. It contains lots of CscFeatures like the one in the above link, although it uses feature.xml instead.It seems when you have a feature.xml, others.xml is ignored - otherwise, the values in others.xml is what gets used. So my home row was editable simply because the setting to disable it wasn't being read anymore.

So for starters, if you want to enable a menu option in your camera to mute the shutter noise, add this line to others.xml instead of creating a feature.xml.

<CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>true</CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>

Then, to enable editing of the home row again, find this entry:

<CscFeature_Launcher_ReplaceHotseatAreaInEditMode>TRUE</CscFeature_Launcher_ReplaceHotseatAreaInEditMode>

and change it to FALSE.

Simple, no?

While you're there, have a play with the other settings in others.xml. I haven't yet, based on their names they don't sound too interesting to me. If you find any cool ones, let me know :) In the other thread they name a LOT of other settings, but again, I haven't delved very deep.

CF root used to install a custom CWM. but Chainfire has moved away from that way of doing it. Hence the CF autoroot. To flash ROM's, you can do it from your PC with Odin or from your phone using mobile Odin. im sure you can also flash roms through RomManager as well. I haven't used RomManager since I got rid of my Desire HD.
