The phone will not power on at all.

I tried this about 20 times and no dice :/. From what I could see the OS is stored on the internal memory chip which does detach from the main board (what likely needs replacing). It could go one of two ways:

1) They replace the entire motherboard including the internal storage (please please yes) or...

2) They pop off the internal memory chip and put it on the new motherboard.

Either way, I don't have any options. Nothing works. You never think this will happen to you :(. As a side note: I suspect there might be something off about the battery and Verizon thinks so too so they are sending me a replacement battery and I will first try that new battery in the phone that needs to be returned. Hopefully I can cover my tracks.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dontwakethellama:
I am using Genesis v1 Beta 9. MMS was working before I installed the inverted one. I found a different inverted MMS app that worked, but it was sub-par on looks and usability (wouldn't display contact names, only numbers).

When I try to send or receive mms, my signal bars gray out and the H disappears momentarily, then I am told there was an error downloading.

Is there anything I can do to fix this? Obviously the regular mms and the other inverted one got it right...but also, no one else has complained about broken mms on the forum where I got the faulty inverted mms apk.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] thor6577:
It seems that it really is a faulty mms. I would just re-install the app. Another way is to look up another inverted mms apk. I think that eagle's blood has a dark apps with mms apk in it. Just use that, I am pretty sure it is compatible.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dontwakethellama:
I tried a couple different inverted/dark mms apps without success except for the ugly one (based on GB I think). I will try the EB mms apk and see how it goes. Otherwise I guess I will go back to a 3rd party app. Thanks for the suggestion. :)

I have a mms mod that works very well. Its themed exactly like the settings kinda nice. I can email it to you if you like.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IanPPK:
I recently received a PLAY, and I noticed that most PLAY owners with stock gb roms on xda had 2.3.4, so I went to the "update android" section in my settings. To my surprise, it responded with "no updates available." I was connected to Wi-Fi, and my bootloader is locked. so is my model the issue, or am I getting a false negative, or am I trying to update incorrectly?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarioGirotti:
Hi all,

previously I used MIRACLEV4 rom and during install I directly flashed also the ICS Layout for this ROM (following the install instructions with flashing->undo->reflashing).

Now I switched to APOCALYPSE and did not flash the corresponding ICS layout.

From 'layout point of view' both look similar to me. What exactly will change if I now apply the ICS layout for the APOCALYPSE ROM? Are there any screenshots for normal and ICS Layout ?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pseudonym:
Its in the notifications. When you have layouts, notifications has boxes in the left side with ther icons on the middle of the box. For example when you have installed an app from the market. I prefer ICS layouts cause its much more uniform.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NutellaBanane:
Layouts will also change the volume bar if you're pressing the volume keys

They will change to ics like if you apply layout patch

[Galaxy S III General] uzzy:
I've looked through the Development section but can't seem to find any camera mods.

The phone is recording the bitrate for both 720p and 1080p videos at 288kbps, which is seriously reducing the quality.

The bitrate should be AT LEAST a few mb.

I know higher bitrate takes up more space but the user should be able to decide.

I also have a HTC Sensation XE, which someone released a 40mb bitrate camera mod which produces AMAZING videos.

I'm sure if someone did this for the S3 it would benefit a lot of people.

I dropped my phone yesterday and cracked the glass. It's still functioning but very annoying to use and I'm sure next drop will finish it.

What are my options?

I've called Rogers (our carrier in Canada) they want $345 to fix it and I've called independent shops. They want anywhere from $205 to $245 to fix it (I'm assuming these would be aftermarket components).

What if I buy the components from ebay and do it myself. Is it doable?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] CountryBoy_71:
I have just recently replaced my screen and was in the same boat as you. The part itself is around the $200 range where-ever you look. Yes, they are expensive screens.

Depending on your skill level, I found it fairly easy to replace myself but there are some repair shops all over that charge minimally for the actual repair; myself, here in my part of the Country (by Calgary), I charge $40 for the repair.

Don't know if that helped you or not but the site I got my screen from is cellphonepartscanada, just have to google it.

Picked up my blue s3 from phones 4 u on Saturday and last night the power button kind of broke... If I press it it doesn't click back and sends the phone into restarts....until I pick it out again.

No blues left on orange from phones 4 u in North London at present so am awaiting a replacement although the phone is fully functional along as I don't press the power button.

Hopefully is a one off but just thought I'd get it out there in case any others get the problem to.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delsus:
You should be able to go to Phones 4 U and they should give a sim free one, just pop your current sim in and it will work, you don't need one on orange, unless phones 4 u sell branded ones, which I highly doubt.

My wife also has a broken power button now (bad luck or production?) on the blue S3. It's all wobbly and the device is constantly in a bootloop. Going into recovery and download mode shows their menus for a second or two and again it reboots. The phone came with a new T-Mobile subscription. No phone support in the weekend so trying to get this fixed at a T-mobile store tomorrow. Or do we need to contact Samsung directly? The phone is less than 10 days old (in our possession).

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0xScott:
I searched through a few 'return to stock ROM' threads and found some other complaints about the power button, but this seemed to be the most appropriate place to post. Hopefully this helps someone with a similar situation.

I had a great setup with a rooted, unlocked Samsung Galaxy S3 running the latest AOKP nightly build, but then my power button broke. Apparently it's a common thing on the SGS3. I'd press the power button to turn off the screen, it would flash off, then immediately come back on again. I didn't want to physically modify the hardware because I wanted a replacement (I pay my carrier each month for insurance). My carrier won't accept a phone for warranty replacement if the software has been modified. They sent me a replacement phone, but I had to send the broken one back or risk being charged full retail. I could get into download mode, but it would reboot after a couple seconds (because the phone thought I was holding in the power button all the time). I could boot the phone, but it would take 10 or 15 tries. In the end, I mailed my phone back mostly stock. They received it a few days ago, but everything should be fine.

Here's what I did:

1) Titanium Backup of all my apps, copy all files I wanted to keep onto external storage (Nandroid wasn't an option since I couldn't stay in recovery without rebooting)

2) Purchase and install root triangle away and reset the flash counter

3) reset factory defaults using the system settings menu

4) reboot and log into Google (disabled account sync)

5) save the stock ROM to internal memory

6) Purchase and install mobile ODIN

7) load the stock ROM file into mobile ODIN and flash

The phone rebooted, started flashing the bootloader, kernel, and started to flash the stock ROM and then the power button caused it to reboot. When I powered the phone on, it showed a stock Samsung banner and I could see that the flash counter had not been tripped. If they fix the power button and re-flash the stock ROM, it'd be in good enough condition to sell it as refurbished.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] feed3:
I have a white S3 and using it with no problem for past few months.

Recently, i got bootloop when i tried to turn off screen by pressing power button and i thought it is the ROM faults as I flashed a lot.

So, i flashed to other ROM and it still happened until a point where i had to take out a battery.

AT THAT MOMENT, i realized that it didn't happened anymore (im using a cover/casing/whatever-we-call-it and i have plenty of it).

So, i put it back into the cover, and it happened again when i press the power button but it doesn't always happened, ONLY when i press it from certain angle.

So, i put it into a flipcover that also cover the power button (the other cover i used is not the flip cover and it have a hole at the power button is placed) and it didn't happened no matter how many times i press the power button.

I tried to further proof it to myself by trying to press the power button from the angle where i had to do IF im using the other cover and it DID happened and gave me a bootloop again after a few attempts. It happened as if when pressed from certain angle, the button is somehow stuck.

So, for my case, it seems that my power button is now worn and might broken anytime soon because of the cover that i used. For now, im trying to not use power button as much as possible especially when i use a cover that have a hole for power button and the hole is quite close to the button.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T.K.B:
Hi all,

I just got my brand new Samsung Galaxy SIII :)

All is well except for the fact that the phone is failing to even detect the adhoc wifi that I've setup. I get my home's internet using a mobile cdma usb modem and I've setup an adhoc wifi connection thru internet sharing option in windows 7.

Here's a twist though: When using my Ipod Touch- I noticed that the Ipod manages to detect the same adhoc wifi network I've setup- the Ipod also manages to connect to the network but fails to provide any internet. (from windows 7)

Oddly enough- the only way I can get adhoc wifi to work is when I use it on my Ipod from Linux Ubuntu. I cannot connect to adhoc wifis from either windows 7 or linux on my SGS3.

Is there any way I could get my SGS3 to detect and connect to the adhoc wifi from either windows 7 or Ubuntu with the mobile internet that I use at home??
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T.K.B:
Bump. Anyone??
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
Android's Wifi manager by default does not detect or use adhoc networks.

There exist several patches (requires root) but I'm not sure if they have been confirmed to work/ported to the S3 yet.

CM9 should include adhoc support.

I strongly recommend using the Windows7 application 'Connectify' which creates a full-fledged ap-mode network and not an adhoc while still allowing you to keep connected to any current Wifi network.

I guess similar tools might exist for OsX and Ubuntu Linux but I've only used them in forward tether and not reverse tether so far.

By the way, this is a forum not a support center. So it might take some time to get a reply.

Bumping after 3 hours is just rude seeing that we all try to work together for free

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T.K.B:
If you haven't tried it already- then I suggest you try disabling your antivirus when you share the network. That's what I did in the end to finally make it work.

[General Questions and Answers] Sora3004:
Hi everyone

Although I am a new member to this forum, I have been using this forum for months as an unregistered member, scouring the search function with queries related to my android phone, a Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S [LT18i] and a Samsung Galaxy SII [I9100G], both with the latest firmware and both rooted, thanks to this forum. Now I have gained some experience in the matter and want to contribute as well, so I joined. Some years ago, when Nokias used to rule this world, I had a lot of knowledge about the Symbian platform and was a moderator in a similar forum to this one. I hope I can contribute in the same way here even though my schedule is pretty tight nowadays. I'll do my best.

Now to proceed to my question. Its a general question I have relating to a queer problem.

I have two applications on my phone pertaining to this issue, Pocket Manga and Tapatalk 2. Earlier, when my phone was on GB, wi-fi and 3G worked perfectly for PocketManga but after upgrading to ICS, the connectivity issues started. Wi-fi and 3G, both would run perfectly for other applications but the arrows representing data transfer would blink for PocketManga. I know that it seemed like compatibility issues with the new firmware, but if I reset my wif-fi router, PocketManga would run perfectly once again...for a while and then the same issue again, only for PocketManga.

As for Tapatalk 2, it works fine on 3G but the arrows blink or don't show up at all on wi-fi.

So my question is, What could be the cause of these problems? Is it a issue with my phone, router, mobile network or with the application? Any insight to this will be appreciated.

Thank you

How did you update? Provider update or Custom ROM?

I'd try to revert the changes and go back to your old ROM (Backup before) just to ensure, that you aren't drawing conclusions between two independent errors.

Except this it's hard to analyse. Sounds like a ROM/Radio Problem to me, but just a wild guess since this just sounds so random (why onle for 2 apps?).
[General Questions and Answers] Sora3004:
It was the official manufacturer's update. Yeah, the problem is pretty random and weird. But the latest firmware is working fine for me and reverting to the old firmware, even for testing, would too much of a pain just for 2 apps. So, I put forth the question on xda to see if anyone is familiar with such a problem :D

My phone is again needing some major repair, and I am fed up with tinkering with it and breaking it further. My 2 options at this point are either spend the $100 and get it replaced through Asurion, or my bro offered to sell me his EVO 3D for $100 and whatever I can sell my Evo for. I do have an upgrade avaiilable, but really dont have extra cash to make a new purchase, plus Sprint can suck it for a new contract any time soon, Im ultimately looking to ditch them once my wife lands a nursing job.

I dont care one bit about any 3d functionality or anything extra from the 3vo, just wondering if there are any roadblocks to consider before making the switch, ie rooting, ROM's etc. I've briefly browsed the 3VO forums a bit, but the first time in a new phone section is always a bit overwhelming for me.
