[Motorola Droid RAZR] Giblet535:
If it doesn't do this on a black screen, it's more likely a defect in the glass than a video RAM or OLED defect.

A GPU or video RAM defect would always display the defect, even with black backgrounds, because that pixel would always have one of the high-order bits set.

Try looking at the pixel with a jeweler's magnifying glass, and tilt the screen back and forth while viewing the defect closely. If it's the glass, it will be obvious. If not, you can replace the OLED display, which will be expensive (more so if you have it done).

It could be a grain of sugar stuck to the glass...

can anyone tell me what the latest firmware is for a uk gs3 on orange.

How can i check what i have..i cant seem to find an option to 'check for update' like i had on my htc?

do i have to download and install samsung kies to do updates?

really hoping there is something out to solve some of the freezing and other issues i am having.

thanks

It should have the option in Settings/About device/Software update, but should use Kies anyway, and latest UK version is 4.0.4

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hpsauce37:
when i connect to kies it says i have the lateset firmware

phone is really buggy and needs sorting asap. Poor effort from samsung i feel...i personally think its a quad core thing as i had similar issues with my htc one x and got rid of it in a few days. My htc ones s however is the quickest and most sold performing handset ive ever had.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
As previously suggested, try other firmware. Forget Kies, its crap and only check for updates for your specific firmware, not elsewhere.

Try the link above i posted or http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9300here for newer releases.

Just follow the guide by Intratech (he also has some official firmware) for flashing with Odin. Could not be simpler. Just backup anything to PC before hand, and then follow instructions exactly.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hpsauce37:
really appreciate your help with this but just have a couple more questions

i assume that with odin i can flash any of the firmwares and it dosent matter that my phone is locked to orange (well i believe it is). The phone itself has no orange branding or apps installed.

The other thing i am not sure about is which firmware i should use for a uk handset on orange. If i use a generic firmware will that cause problems with the radio's etc?

The other thing is how do i know what the latest is...i mean i might already have it on my device....it says i have 4.04 on it but are there various versions of this?

Sorry if it seems im being lazy about this but just want to be sure i am using the right one.

thanks again for your help
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
I believe so, should be same as SGS2. Phone lock should be "sim" lock not locked bootloader.

You can flash the modem or kernel as individual packages if need be.

In phone dialer, *#1234#

Ie. Firmware ending in LE7 is older than LE8

Don't forget to backup anything important to PC first. Best to factory reset first in recovery and then immediately boot into download mode to flash. Follow Intratech guide exactly and shouldn't be a problem.

Just make sure you flash any full package as .tar.md5 file. Zip won't work with Odin.

For thanks if you feel like it ;)

Will that delete fff and TWRP? Because When i flashed the CM9 ICS ROM it didn't delete either. Also I would like to root the new one they send me so i can do a restore, and then unroot without deleting my data. Can you help me with that?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tera Tike:
Yes.

Go in TWRP and do a current backup.

Then while in TWRP mount USB and copy the TWRP directory(thats where your backup is located) to your computer.

When you have your new Kindle Fire refer to these threads to install FFF1.4A and TWRP 2.1.

Oh, sorry about not being clear. I mean I wanted to restore my old data and then unroot my new kindle.

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tera Tike:
Yes just copy the TWRP Backup folder onto the NEW Kindle Fire and boot into TWRP to restore your data.

As for unrooting...Why. Download SuperSU v0.89 and it has a built-in temp unroot and ghost mode.

I do not understand??

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Damien74:
I've had it disabled for a while and noticed little or no change.

The GPS works just fine without it even inside my apartment.

I read the document from the decompiled bc service and thought I'd try a couple of things.

Broadcom disabled:

I tried GPS with and without sensor help enabled - no change

When I start my phone with internet connection disabled I always get a message that I lost roaming connection. No change with or without Broadcom.

No apparent change in internet speed (didn't think so either).

There is one thing though. I tried a couple of games, Zuma-games that requires good precision.

And I am not sure if I imagine it or even if it is possible, but it seems the precision was a little improved with Broadcom disabled.

Maybe someone can check that out.

I was able to calibrate gyro without Broadcom.

Just thought I would wake up this topic and join the party........

Yesterday I purchased Navigon and installed the 550mb additional files followed by a further 150mb for the UK maps.

All was well and it was not a bad navigational package, not brilliant but workable nonetheless.

Anyhow, last night I did my usual clean down stuff I do and then put the phone into Airplane mode for the overnight rest period.

This morning I was shocked to see my battery had fallen over 30%.

A quick check under battery showed me the culprit...... BroadvomMEMsService, it was the first time I had seen this service showing in the battery stats, it had eaten a large portion of Awake time and no matter how many times I force closed it down it switched itself back on again 1 minute later.

I first tried turning off all my GPS tick boxes (all four of them) but no that did not work, it simply ignored this.

I then disabled from the Applications list BroadcomMEMsService and although this cured the battery issue Navigon now refused to work correctly.

So, my battery is once again happy but after having purchased Navigon I am bloody annoyed.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Damien74:
Okay. I think that must have been some cooincidence.

Cause it worked for me yes. And also Broadcom doesnt come with all stock roms, Google maps works anyhow :)

and then ,I format them one by one. when i 'm just going to write the backuped partition img to the device with "dd" , my nook went to reboot.

The accident is that my nook reboot before i rewrite the img.

so , the nook can't boot. even the N screen won't show up,the screen is totally black,even the back light .

I 've tried insert a bootable sdcard and the screen won't light up either.

neither can't i connect my nook via adb.when i connect my nook to the computer ,and holding the power button ,i just can see a new device named "OMAP 4430".

I think maybe this is because that the bootloader is broken.

Do you think there's any way to access my nook and re write the img to the missing partition ?Or it's a totally brick?
