[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashmont:
I contacted Samsung and complained about the delay. They said that T-Mobile is responsible for issuing the firmware upgrades, not them. I think we're now five versions behind so it's probably time to go down the manual upgrade route using Odin.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] curls1:
I was lucky got 2 SGS3 when they first came out from tmobile store in hull there both unbranded with stock samsung firmware on them and get all updates, just flash stock rom.

I bricked my first galaxy 1 and got it replaced by tmobile in the first six months in store, the clowns on the tmobile forum talk crap.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashmont:
I contacted T-Mobile and complained about the lack of firmware updates compared to the unbranded phones. A few days later they called me and basically said that they have no information when the next firmware update would be available but that they would pass on my complaints to the technical team. Pretty poor for such a high end phone!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arthur Hucksake:
Soon as I saw the version the handset was stuck on I downloaded and flashed with Odin.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashmont:
Yes I have now given up on waiting for T-Mobile and have flashed the latest firmware. It was all very painless.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashmont:
I notice Orange UK have just released an LG2 firmware so T-Mobile will probably follow shortly. Even so, it's several versions old and just as unbranded is about to get Jelly bean!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] weavy:
Ive just Upgraded mine via Kies to G2

dont know what it does or fix maybe the battery

as for jelly bean i read somewhere that Samsung was pushing out csc updates b4 jelly bean release so maybe that's got something to do with it
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markn73:
I have just got a s3 on t mobile which is sim locked to them. Not bothered about that but can i flash the older lf2 firmware and update via kies. I know the lf2 was an unbranded firmware so im not sure if it would be ok to flash that one.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashmont:
LF2 is the only update provided by T-Mobile to date. It is fine to flash this with Kies. I did it when it first came out over two months ago and it worked fine. I couldn't really tell any difference though. I'm now on unbranded LG8 flashed with Odin as t-Mobile don't appear to be in a hurry to issue anything further.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashmont:
My apologies. I have been following SGS3 update on Twitter and I must have missed the LG2 update for UK T-Mobile which is more recent than LF2. As far as I know Kies is used to update to the latest firmware. You can use Odin to flash earlier firmware for UK T-Mobile (or indeed other firmware).
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tony.jackson.email@google:
Hi ashmont - which rom did you use and whats the verdict?

Utterly fed up of waiting but last rom I used wasnt ready for prime time - call quality was unusable and stability awful. then couldn't hear/talk on a call, so flashed back to stock for a replacement that took nearly 2 weeks to turn around with the feckless halfwits at tmobile. Have put off another flash as want to make sure I get something that works.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashmont:
I flashed the latest BTU rom and changed my CSC to BTU (I had a backup on Titanium backup first as CSC change wipes internal memory). Last week Jellybean came out for BTU so I just connected my phone to Kies and it updated fine. The new firmware is overall pretty good too. I flashed one of the leaked JB roms a month ago and it was awful so I went back to ICS. The official BTU JB rom is definitely worth going for in my opinion. You can just flash it with ODIN.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tony.jackson.email@google:
Many thanks - downloading now :good:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Konflict1471:
Why on earth did T-Mobile and Orange decide to disable the OTA update feature?

Really quite annoying. I couldn't wait for Jelly Bean so I just flashed CM10. Prefer pure android interface to TouchWiz, although i do miss some of TouchWiz's features.

Going to set up a dual boot configuration so I get the best of both worlds!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avdaga:
Hey,

Coming from a SGS1, which lasted 3-4 days on a full battery charge running CM9, the SGS3 battery is really bad.

As battery life is really important for me I do not use apps like WhatsApp, Facebook, GTalk etc. GTalk comes by default but obviously I disabled it.

However, after disabling all messaging apps, sync and google device backup, I noticed that the Wi-Fi starts communicating when i turn on the screen. This does not seem to happen over 3G though. This issue appears on both Stock and WanamLite 1.2 rom.

By sniffing the traffic with (Wire)Shark it appears to be SSL traffic to Google.

What the hell could this be???

The issue does not appear with the nightly CM9 for SGS3, however I wanna give WanamLite (manually debloated) a chance.

After some research it appears to happen even if google account is not added:-\

Contents of my /system/app
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avdaga:
I think I have found the cause:

After dumping all packets on the router from/to the phone no network activity was visible.

The only explanation is that the device is scanning for wireless networks. After going to the wireless settings I noticed that a network scan indeed shows the same pattern on the wlan indicator.

So why would the device scan for networks when screen is turned on? Particularly when it is already connected (wifi keep alive is on).

Also it seems as if it sometimes just keeps on scanning and therewith drains the battery. Turning wifi off/on sometimes helps, reboot always helps.....

anyone experienced this?
[HTC Sensation] anthony0721:
Hello,

I'd like to know if I can run PG58DIAG to my official updated ICS Sensation if I do HTC Dev unlock? cuz I have been trying the wire trick to have it S-off....and still can't succed.

Or it must be S-off + Rooted to run PG58DIAG, or if there is any other was to have a Ofiicial ICS updated /S-on free unlocked
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
i wonder that it works just only with HTC-DEV unlocked bootloader ..because it wipes some partiiton's (idk which partition is wiped but htc-dev unlock only gives perms to system, boot, recovery and data partition) and and also in the process it factory resets the phone ( so do a nand backup before hand)

try it and let us know..trying it is no harm :)
[HTC Sensation] anthony0721:
I got it S-off by the wire trick, with JB Hboot...

when you use nAa kernel on my cp, you cannot connect your cp to your computer or laptop.

please fix this..
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
Ofcourse you can connect your phone to your computer or laptop, you must be missing something :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] iezel_14:
have you tried to connect ur phone using your usb connector? im using x10 mini pro.

if there is something missing, maybe its code or program for the kernel.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
Ofcourse i have, don't be silly, you really think a dev would leave something so fundamental out?

There could be three things you can try

1.

Boot your phone, go into CWM and choose Mounts and Storage, and then mount USB-Storage, your pc or laptop should give a popup asking what to do with the attached storage.

2.

Boot your phone into your ROM, pull down the notification bar and select Connect USB

Your pc or laptop should give that popup again.

3,

Get the proper drivers for your phone onto your PC or Laptop so it can recognise it as mass-storage device.

i tried #2 many times. by da way, thanks for your help. when i change my roms to other kernels, usb storage works. but in naa kernel, it wont..

Bootanimation - Google Gears Reworked​

Hello Ace - community!

If someone has already used one of my first themes you would have noticed that there's was and bootanimation called google gears in the extra section.

So because i had time , i reworked it so it fits the 320 x 480 screen resolution perfect , that means the image is not cropped anymore .

Also this bootanimation is perfect for light roms !

Have fun and enjoy ;)!

is this a flashable zip? if not could you make one?:D

i really like the simple design
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] NutellaBanane:
no it's not cause it's better to replace it manually and set permission manually
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] dextninja:
at the moment i have no internet connection for my phone and dont have a root file browser, so a flashable zip would have been easier but yes you are right about installing it that way.

i will just have to do some google-ing to find an apk :P

really good design though, did you make it yourself or just resize?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] NutellaBanane:
i found it back then somewhere on xda when it was posted the first time

I edited the logo and the wheels. So that the Google logo looks clearer and a bit bigger and the same for the wheels. And yes i resized it too to fit the ace screen.

But if you guys have a request . i can make a bootanimation for you just sent me the images you want in the bootanimation and i will do it if i have time

Hello buddies...

There's nice custom roms in the XDA.

But almost roms made by Europe firmwares.

So there is no all languages.

For example.. in the rocket rom, has not vietnamese.

How can I plant more language pack and where can I get packs?

I mean not IME..

I mean system ...

sorry poor my English.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SugarFreeMilkTea:
There is no way to set the System UI's language if your rom is not included. But for apps' UI, you can try Set Locale and Language which can found in Google Play Store.

Thanks in advance.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Atmazzz:
You can try this app. Ad Network Detector and delete what may be causing the ads.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] wyldkard:
Its most likely an app you downloaded from market.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] camalus:
That is from an app you downloaded. No rom has ads in it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] blackangst:
You could also try downloading rom toolbox and enable the ad blocking. It installs host files so would block ads in every app (just about. Angry birds it doesnt).

Pointless thread. Still, SGS III release date was known a month in advance. It's just that SGS III was also available everywhere, in all (bigger) stores, on the launch date, and not just in iSheep Store or the telco.

Android owners mostly just want the best phone not to go to it's release and show it off to everyone.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deminetix:
Coming from an iPhone background (i had a 3GS, 4 and 4S), the reason they have a mass following is probably because theyre devices are globally known as idiot proof devices that do everything a normal user would want to do, without having to know jack all about technology. They managed to keep the popular features and encompass it in a shell of easy to use terms and user interfaces.

Android on the other hand, and including my new Samsung Galaxy S3 (coming from the HTC One X i had for 2 months prior) has turned my world around. The sheer amount of stuff they can do (especially when boosted out the ass with custom roms) far outweighs the iPhone devices... BUT... only if you can wrap your head around the terms and more advanced features... and even more so if you can grasp roms.

I've got a better reason. People buying android devices are smart. They order their phones online. :rolleyes: Cmon 9 million pre booking on the SGS III. That ain't a joke

iHoles like to stand in lines before launch because iphones are only available on iStores....whereas android devices can be bought from many shops(as comparative to idevices atleast).

So leave ishits and buy android with no 'i'.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eXceed:

I hate to say it but i have dropped my sgs3 3 times over the past week :o

but im happy to say the screen has absolutly NO damage or scratches, so i would have to say 3 out of 3 drops with only edge body damage...it a pretty good drop test..lol

any way, i want to replace the silver lip around the sgs 3 and am pretty sure this is part of the lower housing, so anyone know where/if i can get my hands on the spare parts for the sgs3??

and ideas would help, i know its still a brand new unit.

Well it looks like the Screen is attached to the frame on this phone......i have replaced other screens on other phones and didnt have a need to heat up the screen to remove it from the frame.

so it looks like if i want to replace to the silver bumper/housing i have to replace the whole screen.....that sucks and it runs around 249.00

im hoping to find a teardown that shows the actual screen removel, other wise i will be dropping the 249 for a new screen/housing even though my screen is perfect the drops have been all body damage.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raptorze:
It's a simple question - Since Cyanogenmod hasn't posted an update on ICS / CM9 - does ANYONE have an ETA on Stable launch date? - Release?

or do "Nightlies" go on forever?

thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] katastrophie:
Release dates

I'm pretty sure no one is likely to commit on a specific date.

The release process will probably go like this:

Once the nightly development builds become more stable there will probably be alpha releases, release candidates. A stable release will have to wait for (nearly) bug free release candidates.

Of course the nightlies will most probably (as build servers allow) continue throughout the release process to prepare for the next stable release.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cymachine:
This is from the CM blog post on June 14:

Today we branched our mainline repositories to start the code freeze which will lead us up to the CM9 release. While there are still a number of technical and organizational issues that need to be resolved very quickly, the plan is to quickly iterate through a series of release candidates over the next few weeks. We are still accepting contributions to the main branches, but from here until release day we will only be accepting bugfixes, device support, and translations into the release branch.

It’s taken a long time, but the move to ICS was huge. The initial release will cover a subset of devices (still to be fully determined). We’ve put many new internal processes into place which should guarantee quicker updates to the CM Core, and also make it easier for new devices be added.

Nightly builds will still be done against the main branch, so those of you who like to live on the bleeding edge won’t have to suffer through this

Stay tuned!

So, I recently bought an Xperia S and I have this strange problem that when I am on a cellular network (edge,3g) my apps CANT get internet conection BUT, I CAN browse the web via Browser. This doesnt happen when I am on wifi.
