Hi does any know how to delete this folder(sempaxs-pc) in my gallery and when i tried to open it shows error message. I tried to clear data and force close the gallery but it is still there.it seems it just appears when wifi is on thanks
[Galaxy S III General] Joshnz:
So I flashed with mobile Odin, still don't have the brightness slider in the drop down menu?!
[Galaxy S III General] Pitzbull:
Personally i am in heaven using latest checkrom 3.5 but best is to try for yourself as your service might be different to mine. I actually find Vodi service at my house and work better than Helstra ever was.
[Galaxy S III General] Barracuda77777:
Which firmware did you flash?

Cheers
[Galaxy S III General] Joshnz:
Recent LF2, as per the recent post in the original firmware thread.

[Galaxy S III General] kamalmawa:
As far as I know LF2 is an older firmware compares to LFB.. so you will not see all the new things that you'll find it in LFB firmware

I've tested LFB firmware for couple of days.. And this is the fine print from my experience. If you with Optus, Virgin or using unbranded version of GT-I9300 it is the best firmware for you with LFB modem. But if you are with Telstra or Vodafone (850 band) using GT-I9300T I suggest you stick to your current stock firmware.

Yes you can use LFB firmware/modem on a GT-I9300T and it will connect to 850 without doing any modem dance. But from my experience it will not perform as good as stock modem such as takes bit longer time to switch to 'H+' from 'H '. I think most of you already know that we can't use our LE6 modem with LFB firmware due to ncoming call voice problem :S
[Galaxy S III General] gger123:
oh okay, but because I want to remove vodafone bloatware,

would you suggest I flash LF6 + i9300TDULF2 modem?
[Galaxy S III General] Pitzbull:
This is why there is the setting in the service mode to stop this lag from getting onto H+. Once set it zooms on XXBLFB. You are basically optimising the device for yourself by doing this.
[Galaxy S III General] xRap:
Guys, I need some help.

Can someone please tell me why CheckFus is reporting my Product Code as GT-I9300MBOXSA ?

What I mean is, why does it have an "O" in the code instead of a "D" ?

I can't find any reference whatsoever about i9300MBO on the net.

As I've stated in a previous post, I have the unbranded 32Gb Pebble Blue version from Virgin.

Although CheckFus is now working & informing of the latest XSA firmware LF2, I still want to know why my product code has an "O" in it.

Any one else the same product code ?
[Galaxy S III General] kamalmawa:
I didn't noticed any difference between LE6 and LF2 but just give it a try as it depends on where you live... have you try removing Vodafone apps manually ?

Still not the same when I tested it.. you really think Samsung would go for an extra mile to create a different model with different bootloader if everyone can optimize it using service mode?
[Galaxy S III General] Pitzbull:
I do not think they actually want us in there fiddling with stuff. Hence warranty root bye bye....

I will say however I have had outstanding results probably because I get great reception on 850 network on Vodi in my home and work locations.
[Galaxy S III General] adamhill212:
I would say you are connected to allshare when your wifi is on and it's bringing up your pc media.
[Galaxy S III General] adamhill212:
Telstra 850 network, regional, omega 8.0 LFB.

Best speed since my HTC sensation. Quite pleased :)
[Galaxy S III General] kamalmawa:
I do get really good reception with Vodafone 850 network.. I have an S1 which I used almost 2 yrs and just moved to this new house to find I got no 3G reception with my S1 (EDGE only). Since my contract almost over with Vodafone I decided to move to Optus thinking I might get good reception with Optus. So I went to local Optus dealer and got my self a S3 to find that same story as above with Optus no 3G :( . Rang Optus the next morning and told them my situation so they agreed to take my handset back without any costs (Optus told me that I live in a blackhole for 3G).. Same day I rang Vodafone and took my early upgrade offer. Now I get 3-4 bars 3G signal at my house on 850 network and I posted a speed test couple of pages back..

By the way I already had my Optus S3 rooted when I rang them to return it :D and there was no Optus stock firmware available to download either last week.. If you know your way around this forum you could easily get it back to original state easily ;)

That because it's Telstra ;) and I've seen 17Mbps on speedtest with Telstra

at the moment I couldn't find anything to disable this from our phones.. But there's a work around I did from my PC to loose this annoying thing from my Gallery..

Log in to your PC and go to control Panel. Then Click on "Homegroup" (View by: Small icons if you can't see it there) ->"Change advanced sharing settings" -> Under Media streaming "Choose media streaming options -> click "Block All" -> Press OK..

Your done ;)

if you have multiple logins on your PC you gonna have to log into each & every one of them then repeat the above steps

[Galaxy S III General] kamalmawa:
Which firmware you on now? You still on voda firmware just rooted?
[Galaxy S III General] peterdan1506:
yeah correct, still on voda firmware, just rooted.

how can i unroot it & remove CWM? or can you backup your stock firmware and send it or something?

Check Fus phone app said there was an update available for my phone (Vodafone GT I9300T) but when I checked Check Fus on the PC, I couldn't find it. I can only find the Thailand version. Is anyone having the same problem?
[Galaxy S III General] MrIwik:
Considering you are back to "stock" try to see if you can get the update OTA or thorough kies, guess it's the best way to check if everything is legit..
[Galaxy S III General] ActionBastardDV:
nothing shows in OTA (I'm guessing you mean through Settings>About Device>Software update), but I'll try Kies tonight when I get home
[Galaxy S III General] kamalmawa:
There's an update via Kies LF2(VAU).. it's not available on OTA for some reason probably too big to push through OTA
[Galaxy S III General] Lonski:
Will check that out when I get home tonight. although, i have been getting messages via Kies that updates are not supported by my device via Kies. Was like that as soon as I plugged it in for the first time even before rooting.
[Galaxy S III General] madmattoz:
I believe he meant XSA, just a typo.
[Galaxy S III General] kamalmawa:
update your kies first (Help->check for updates)..

Unroot the device just to be safe..

Plug in your phone then open Kies (I found that if you plugin the phone after opening Kies it just comes up with a message connecting... waited over 5min nothing happened)
[Galaxy S III General] ActionBastardDV:
I've got Kies on my PC already from when I started using my I9000. Do I need to install another version of Kies, or just update it (only ever installed it when I first got my I9000, but then realised the updates were taking too long so started flashing)
[Galaxy S III General] tangcla:
if I have an Optus phone and am using it on Telstra - what should I use then? :)
[Galaxy S III General] kamalmawa:
Yeah I remember that Kies when I had my I9000.. It's better to uninstall it and also remove any Samsung USB drivers from your PC. Restart your PC and download the latest Kies from Samsung website http://www.samsung.com/au/smartphone/support-downloads.html

Once you download and installed Kies make sure you running the latest version by clicking About->Check for updates in Kies

Try flashing Telstra modem. you might get better experience. But I can not guarantee you on that since I don't have my Optus I9300 any more to test it. And you may try to flash the whole Telstra firmware on it but don't know what will happen since I don't know anyone who flashed I9300T firmware on a I9300.. Many I9300T users using I9300 LFB firmware without any problems...
[Galaxy S III General] uf21:
What is the best modem for optus?

Im currently using XXLE8 (if baseband version mean modem)
[Galaxy S III General] madmattoz:
LFB will work fine for you, the Optus model is the non-T variant.

---------- Post added at 03:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:06 PM ----------

In short, there is no "best" modem. Which modem works best for you will depend on things like where you are and the network quality in your area. That said, I've heard few complaints about the latest (LFB) modem, so give that a shot.
[Galaxy S III General] priyana:
Anyone can confirm this?

I enabled fast dormancy using the FastDormancy Toggle apps and start seeing the secril_fd_interface wakelock.

I am on Amaysim, not straight Optus.

or is it that secril_fd_interface wakelock is ok, as long as it is not too many minutes/hours.

Could someone post their Telstra apn's thanks so I can confirm my set up
[Galaxy S III General] poczynek:
I have my wife's iPhone 4 and my S3. Both are on Telstra. I tested both for the last 10 minutes using Speedtest. Pings were similar of around 70 odd but download speed very different: S3 consistently around 1 to 2Mbps whereas wife's iPhone consistently 8 to 9Mbps. I am on Checkrom 3.5 but have been on Omega and stock as well and speeds were never that good. Any reason for the big difference?
[Galaxy S III General] dantheman122:
What modem are you using? I don't have Telstra but I know there's T model modems that should be faster on Telstra
[Galaxy S III General] poczynek:
Yes it's the stock modem from Checkrom - so XXLFB. Previous to that I had the T modem DULF2 and the speeds were also not near my wife's iPhone 4 speeds on Telstra. Strange! Might try the Telstra one that's on samfirmware.
[Galaxy S III General] Lonski:

I don't have a T model and I'm on telstra, I don't think my H+ speeds could be any quicker - lightening fast!
[Galaxy S III General] poczynek:
Are you on stock or a different ROM? Also how do i definitely tell if mine is a T model? I assumed it was but now I'm not so sure! Thanks
[Galaxy S III General] Joshnz:
Stock, rooted - but that doesn't make a difference.

Look under your battery inside the back of the phone, it will say I9300 or I9300T.

:thumbup:
[Galaxy S III General] poczynek:
Thanks -- yes will take a look. Just tried to install the Telstra firmware from sammobile firmware page - do you just download and do a full wipe and then install the zip file through recovery? Because I tried this and it said 'bad installation' and wouldn't work.
[Galaxy S III General] madmattoz:
The sammobile files need to be unzipped, then flashed via Odin.
[Galaxy S III General] poczynek:
Thanks again! If i do this will this unroot my phone? If so, how do i install stock and keep the rooting?
[Galaxy S III General] kamalmawa:
easiest way to find is just reboot your phone and check your first bootscreen which should say I9300 or I9300T

Yes if you flash a firmware through odin it will be unrooted and pretty much put your phone to stock level
[Galaxy S III General] poczynek:
Thanks and yes lo and behold it's not a T model. However I am on Telstra. Just trying to now work out the best modem to use for good speeds because speeds on 3G are nowhere near as good as an equivalent iPhone 4. And I've tried Omega 8.1 or Checkrom 3.5 with their stock modems.
[Galaxy S III General] kamalmawa:
here is the thing.. You can use latest I9300 XXLFB firmware with LFB modem on your I9300 but from my experience LFB modem sucks on 850 network (tested on Vodafone 850) and then again you can't use LF2 modem (made for I9300T) on LFB firmware due to call voice problems.. So what's left for you is flashing the whole telstra stock TDUALF2 firmware through odin ;) .. then you can Root it using CF-Root

[Galaxy S III General] adamhill212:

[Galaxy S III General] kamalmawa:
same here.. my ADSL2 won't sync over 5.5Mbps.. I just moved to Glen waverley to find I can't get cable internet in this house either with Optus or Telstra. I used to have a 100Mbps Optus Supersonic cable line when I was in Kingsbury. This is a huge downgrade for me :(
[Galaxy S III General] adamhill212:
I only dream of the day I get a 100Mbps connection. I used to live in Mill Park and would be able to get NBN if I had of stayed there. Had to move back to Leongatha for work though. If i'm lucky I can get upto 11Mbps, through Telstra, on my ADSL2 but only if i'm lucky... :(
[Galaxy S III General] Barracuda77777:
I bought mobile Odin pro, it let's you flash new firmware while keeping root, this method will not increase your flash count, assuming you used triangle away to reset the flash counter after initial root of your S3

I am on lf2 telstra because ota would not work for me, I changed the boot up animation back to stock and deleted all the crapware that was pre installed.

Got 8 megabits download yesterday mid day in North Rocks nsw.
[Galaxy S III General] rexinu:

Running LFB Omega 8.1 on Telstra T-model and getting 8mbps, very snappy pings too, like 80ms in the middle of the office building.

I like :)
[Galaxy S III General] Barracuda77777:
Please let us know, I have Vodafone too, the I9300T model, tried Checkfus and through Kies with noo Joy, finally I gave up and flashed LF2 Telstra. I would rather Flash Vodafone LF2, so please lets know how and from where.

[Galaxy S III General] Quozl:
Would be interested in a copy that is Odin installable if only just for archive purposes.

I'm currently running Omega 8.1 and being on a Vodafone 9300T I'm not really happy with the speeds I'm getting with the LFB baseband. Thinking of going to stock UK firmware with a T optimised baseband and having the VF firmware as a backup would be great. Also as I don't have enough posts to post in the Omega thread is this a problem with all LFB based firmware and T optimised baseband or are there some that can run different modems okay ?

Thanks for any insight

The file that came down is called: I9300TDUALF2_I9300TVAUALF2_I9300TDULF2_HOME.tar.md5 and is 1.5GB in size. It updated my phone and removed root and replaced my modem as was expected but was done via Kies.

My only issue is that it may take a while for me to upload it somewhere, I have a crap internet connection at home.
[Galaxy S III General] kamalmawa:
If it's available through kies means it will be on sammobile in few days.. just like the Telstra firmware..if you can't get it by this weekend let me know I'll try to pull it off from kies

[Galaxy S III General] Lonski:
Yup, Confirmed it works with Odin, Ill try and get it up somewhere tonight.
[Galaxy S III General] ActionBastardDV:
Where did you pull it from? I just upgraded through KIES last night (Aus Vodafone I9300T) so I'm guessing I should be able to pull it too. If so, I'll be happy to upload it through dropbox for everyone here
[Galaxy S III General] Lonski:
Well, when you do a firmware update in Kies, it is downloaded into a temp file till all the data is local, then extracts it to another folder for upgrade to the phone. After the upgrade is complete on the phone, the folder where the extracted file for install is, gets deleted. So you have to copy the file out of the install folder before the upgrade on the phone has completed while its in download mode. You have the time between when the phone goes into download mode till it restarts to copy the file.

If you go looking for the file after the upgrade has completed, you will not find it. Kies removes it as well as the original tmp file.
[Galaxy S III General] ActionBastardDV:
damn. Guess I won't be uploading anything then LOL
[Galaxy S III General] aarick:
Really depends on time of day..I can get 2mbps mid day and 10 mbps early in the morning in melbourne CBD..same in Burwood..I'm running checkrom 3.5 on LFB modem..surprise actually to be pulling such speed on a T version s3 from Voda on Telstra Sim..

Official Vodafone Australia LF2 firmware for the GT-I9300T

Here we go boys and girls....

Official Vodafone Australia LF2 firmware for the GT-I9300T PDA: DUALF2 | Phone: DULF2 | CSC: VAUALF2

Extract it out till you get the .md5 file and then flash with Odin by putting the .md5 file in the PDA section. Dont touch any other settings in Odin.

From the testing I have done...

You will loose ROOT

Your modem will be changed

Your apps and settings will remain

I pulled this file during the Kies update process as I have mentioned in previous posts above, so it is untouched and is as is as it comes directly from the Kies update.
