If it's not letting you access it, then you haven't got the proper drivers installed.

bacause i can't installed kies i got the drivers from SGS3 ToolKit v1.0

there is any other way to get the drivers ?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
If you are seeing 2 mass storage devices, you must've put your phone in mass storage mode,

either through the app or my shell scripts.

In that case it's normal that you can't access the internal storage, since it's ext4 and can't be mounted on any Windows-computer.

(Due to technical restrictions it also can't be mounted on Linux computers)

I'm working on a solution to provide a simulated FAT32 filesystem to the host computer but that will take some time.

Afaik Windows XP is capable of understanding the concept of MTP devices when the proper driver is installed (but there may be none for an 11 year old OS)

Btw Windows 7 works just as fine or even better (optimized resource management) on old computers, you might want to try and upgrade sometime even if XP64 SP2 will still have update support until mid-2014.

i have efs backup but did it manually and not via sgs3 tool kit

i hate windows 7 , i think he slower then xp and freeze a lot...

i know i will force to do the change someday , but i try to stay on xp as long as i can...

i have 12gb memory on my computer , that's way i need xp 64bit

edit :

just that u will see my problem , when i connect the phone on MTP mode after it find all the drivers i see this window

but no i9300 device shown on my computer
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
Neither is true.

I've upgraded a lot of computers from Windows XP (which tends to get bloated up and slow down quite a bit under normal usage) to Windows 7 and the memory aswell as CPU-usage dropped significantly.

It all depends on how you configure your machine. Additionally if you still get freezes (Windows 7 had such issues on release but that's quite some time ago) then either a driver or your hardware is causing issues... neither having to do with Windows.

However that is off-topic here, so yeah =)

You don't, by any chance, mistook Windows Vista for Windows 7? Because there is a reason noone wants Vista...

I'll quote Wikipedia. Is the following given?

You could try putting your phone in PTP (Picture Transfer) mode and see if that makes any difference.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benhouli:
yeah , we can talk nonstop about xp vs 7 , but at the end , everyone like different things...

and i know vista worst then 7 , but till prefer xp on 7 :-)

about the MTP

i have windows media player 10...

and i know about the PTP mode

but i try to get my phone detected as gt-i9300 device on my computer with no success yet on xp 64bit

on xp 32bit it work good, but switch from xp 64bit to 32bit isn't an option for me

It's not about what YOU like, it's about what the manufacturers like.

Micosoft wants tu bury a ~12y old bug-riddled OS which isn't even sold anymore.

(Altough it will still get 2 full years of security-updates)

Hardware vendors never even considered XP64 a real platform

So in the end it's either you upgrade or you're stuck with Museum-style hard- and software.

I did your homework (Google) for you and found the following which seems to be needed on Windows XP computers:

Windows XP relies by default on Media Player which does not allow you to manage the contents directly... only through it's own interface.

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] lyriquidperfection:
I created a tool a while back for Galaxy S II owners to backup and restore the '/efs' partition and perform basic NV Repair on their devices.

This proved so popular that I recently updated the application which now includes a feature to automatically detect the mount point of the '/efs' partition. This allows any supported device to be used with EFS Pro and also adds support for future devices.

Check out the link below for more info and download:

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] coldbeermt:
Hi!

I tried 1.6.8 with my R (GT-i9103). I selected Galaxy S II as device profile because my efs partition is the same (mmcblk0p1, as shows the mount command for the efs partition). And it says "Device Partition Location appears to be invalid! Make sure you have selected the CORRECT Device Profile then try again!".

If I choose "Add Device..." button, I write "Galaxy R" for the Device Name and "mmcblk0p1" as the location and the response is "Partition Location is Invalid! Please try again a VALID Partition Location."

PD: If you prefer, I could copy&paste this post on your original thread, but I imagine you prefer answers per device in their respective places.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] lyriquidperfection:
Hi there, download the latest version, v1.7.13 as automatic partition location detection has been implemented which should resolve your issue. :)

That was my initial thought as well - if the locks app is calling the stock filename, what about renaming the Handscent app to that filename? Seems it would call it, then.

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] imsohungover:
Today i just purchase my SG3 and when I got back to work i saw that my screen had flaws on it. Its really hard to explain but it looks like tiger stripes running down the LCD screen. Looks like the LCD is push against the glass in those areas. I brought it back to Tmobile and at first they had a hard time seeing it but in different lighting, they finally saw it. The rep told me that all their phones were accounted for customers already that I will be able to go back next Thursday to get a replacement.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Docavelli:
Sorry to hear about your screen. Haven't noticed any flaws in the screen.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] 1SiK1500:
There have been a few rumors, complaints and photos over in the International GS3 forum... Its sad to hear a few bad ones get mixed in. I experienced the same thing with my Transformer Prime..
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] mhuckins:
You should have freaked out on them for holding phones. No reason you should wait a week for a working unit. Did you talk to a manager? If it is a corporate store call t-mobile. They should be correcting this, not brushing you off.

im ok with it bc i will exchange it for the white one!!! blue looks nice but this will be the first time i will say that the white one definately looks better!!

I have a similar issue. It looks like I have a couple areas of "stripes" when the screen is completely black. The stripes are actually more black than the image itself which is black. Going to test solid color images.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] numba3:
could you post a pic to let us know what we should be looking for?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Alik4041:
I will tomorrow. If you go throw some solid color images you should be able to see it. My parents saw it and laughed at me. "pssh it's not big deal"

---------- Post added at 01:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:19 AM ----------

Btw, I'm using the app called "Display tester" and you can clearly see the stripes in a room with the lights off. Just use the dead pixel test and set the color to black. You might see stripes. I have one line of individual stripes that is about 2 mm thick that runs from the right to the left side of the screen. Then there are two other sets of stripes that look like smiley faces almost; one in the middle and one on the top.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] bzlik88:
Its a common issue when manufacturing samoled screens from what I have heard. Percentage of defects are supposedly high but it does not affect the viewing experience to the typical user.....aka the small price to pay is worth it for such a beautiful screen otherwise. Nevertheless if your more than the typical consumer and you happen to spot these defects.....a defect is a defect and I guess they have to replace it =/
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] imsohungover:
So I just dropped my phone last night and the screen is cracked...fml..will T-Mobile still replace it even if the manager wrote my name down?!!! It was a light fall too. The screen is weak. I recommend a case for sure now.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Greg1007:

This story is precisely why i only buy in store. When i go to the store to get my S3 on the 27th, im downloading a dead pixel checker app, and running it. Not taking any chances, and not settling for anything short of perfection.

Not worth $92. You can buy the OEM extended battery door for $20 on amazon and then an OEM extended battery for the tbolt for $4. $24 is much better. I bought the OEM extended battery at Verizon when it was half off for $25. And about 2 months ago I bought an OEM tbolt extended battery. I now have a total average of 96 hours of battery life.

Too bad it doesn't fit in the oem extended back.

The mugen battery is totally awesome.

Although I have three VZ 2750 batteries I have not used one of them since I got the awesome mugen 4000.

If you want a battery that will never die, the mugen is worth every penny.
[HTC Rezound] Deron Baker:
I was having repeated problems this last week keeping my 4G connected. It would cut out randomly and I was not able to stream video. The Speedtest app was showing speeds less than 1 mbps. I would run the same test on my GF's Razr right next to my Rezound and the Razr was getting 15 mbps download. So it was isolated to my Rezound.

I got a new SIM card yesterday and still had the same problems. I switched to the spare Mugen Power extended back. Same problem. Then I switched back to the OEM extended 2750 mah battery and the problem is currently resolved. Getting decent download speeds and Netflix streams again.

I'll give it a few more days to see if the problem returns. But for now, the Mugen Power 4000 mAh battery or its back MAY be the source of my problems. Too bad since the battery had done so well for the first month I used it. I'll keep you posted.

(I feel like such a tool since I already posted this rather positive review and now it appears to be having problems.)

Are those OEM extended battery doors on Amazon legit? More specifically, I would like to know if they have all of the proper antenna connections on it.

Good review. A couple comments.

My mugen backplate had the hole at the bottom for the noise canceling mike.

I have the same case you showed. I set my phone face down in the sun for 15 minutes and now the case is snug.

The two holes for the noise canceling mikes do not always line up, so i enlarged the holes a little. Happy with case now.

As for battery life, all I know is i get better than on the oem extended which i started with day 1. How much better is hard to define as i don't take accurate measurements, but gut feel is about 30%.

I had the oem extended for 43 months and the mugen for 1.

Follow the recommended procedure for over charging and draining 4 -5 times. It makes a big difference.

Since I changed to another phone, I'll be selling my Mugen Power extended battery on ebay starting at 99 cents.

Just wanted to update everyone on my visit to the Sprint store today. I went by the local Sprint store here earlier and I was also told that the release of the SGIII to them got pushed back. They told me that they could get them as early as next week, but there was a chance they would not get them until the 1st of July. At any rate, I went ahead and placed my order and got put on the waiting list. I was waiting patiently, yet anxiously, and expecting to hear the lady at the store tell me that I was like number 5 million to be on the list...LOL...Come to find out, I was only the 5th person to order one...which is good because that will mean I will get mine out of the first batch they get. Now I get to sit and impatiently wait...LOL

Cheers!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] frazy:
I went to the Sprint store today as well and they said they have to push it back because of Samsung not being able to meet up with the pre order demand. Then I pulled one of the reps over on the side and asked him if this has anything to do with Apple trying to sue Samsung for S-Voice. He replied, "Apple will do anything to delay the release of other phones."

So there is your reason for the delay ladies and gentlemen
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bohiti:
Um, sorry but doubtful. A sprint store guy wouldnt know more than a vast internet full of info leakers. (including ISN). Right now theres no indication that Apple has anything to do with anything.
