Hey guyz I just tried to flash CYANOGENMOD UNOFFICIAL RC2 and my mobile got stuck at the boot image for very long time so i tried flashing MIUI which i was using before but that too got stuck at boot image...

I think the reason is that my battery was too low(around 25%)..

Then i thought there is some prob soo i flashed the stock ROM[DDKT3] but now it is stucked at boot loop....:crying:

any1 any suggestion pls in a need urgently...

Does your SGS3 have a gap down the left hand side of the screen?

Is dust building up in it?

If so, post a photo, if you can :-)

I am returning my first SGS3 today as there is a gap between the glass and the casing.

Dust is building up in it and it looks rather unsightly.

I was just wondering if it's just me or not.

Can you see the line of dust down the left side of the screen?
[Galaxy S III General] hefonthefjords:
No gaps here. Mines is nice and tightly sealed up.
[Galaxy S III General] Tachikoma_kun:
Mine has a small gap but I can't see it with the case it's in.
[Galaxy S III General] sav_uk:
OP are you sure its not a HOX you're using? ;-P
[Galaxy S III General] vinokirk:
I have got another one, but im afraid its still the same.

To be sure, I'll have to have it for a few days and see if any dust accumilates in it.

I looked at another one in phones4u and the screen is perfectly alligned.
[Galaxy S III General] zmsudu:
Dont have it. Take some tooth brush and clean it.
[Galaxy S III General] johnboywilson:
Oh, yes I have a gap now you mention it.. :(
[Galaxy S III General] vinokirk:
I don't think the bristles of a toothbrush would get in the gap to be honest.

That's bedside the point anyway :-) It should be perfect!
[Galaxy S III General] Ffbf:
+1
[Galaxy S III General] Tachikoma_kun:
I just ran my nail along the gap and managed to dig out the few flakes of dust in there, so a toothbrush should work fine.
[Galaxy S III General] bala_gamer:
afaik all the samsung mobiles i have used had micro gaps, its the way it is designed. cant notice the gap in s3 as it is white, but it will have it surely.

btw the micro gap is required to absorb the shocks. else all the shock will reach out the screen easily.
[Galaxy S III General] vinokirk:
The problem I have is that on the left side the gap is quite substantial. Where as there is no gap at all on the right side.

It's like the whole glass part it too far over to the right.

I have seen another blue S3 at Phone 4u and there it an equal gap on either side; so I know for sure there is a problem with this batch at the 3 store.
[Galaxy S III General] esist:
My white one has no such gap. At least nothing I can discern anyway...

Also, thumbs up for everyone who is now inspecting the edge of their phone for the first time?

I have a little gap at the top of my screen, but its not gathered any dust.
[Galaxy S III General] demonwind:
You are not the first to bring this issue up, so I'm thinking many people have this issue but only a few of them will notice it.
[Galaxy S III General] KMino:
I thought there was one, it is moving slightly. But guess that's good, firmness bad for drops.

It is also an optical illusion! Depending on the lighting angle. Does it look like a big gap on the left? Flip the phone upside down, the gap is still on the left it doesn't flip. Not worried now after noticing it, you had me for 20sec.

Received my preorder galaxy s3 today from ATT.. It is simply amazing but device is getting hot at the bottom after prolonged use and while it is charging..

Is it just me or someone else is having similar issues..

Thanks So Much
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] rthamilton:
you musta been watchin about that one that burned up
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Liferules:
Yes, mine gets mildly warm. But that's after extensive use. Not sure about charging--will check.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] grkmaster:
I posted this in the other thread. For me it tends to while mild usage. I understand while charging but not when its not
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] naturefreak85:
The processor is running at all times. Then you also have to take into account screen brightness. With my phone's I notice the amount of time to heat depends on the screen brightness. The brighter the screen the faster it gets warm.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Mherder:
Mine got a little warm but for sure not as hot as my iPhone would get...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] EugeneR:
Not hot at all. Video, browsing, calls, Skype. Being warm - yes, but it's normal

I had a few hours today when it was warm just sitting in my pocket while in meetings with the screen off, etc... it may have been busy sync'ing emails, but shouldn't have been working too hard yet was definitely warm. Had to take it out of my pocket and set it on the table to cool myself off...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] davidstech11:
Warm yeah. Uncomfortable NO. So far I am really enjoying my smartphone.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] grkmaster:
What's the normal phone temperature range where it's still ok.... My phone went up to 98degrees... Was uncomfortable for me to use
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] zan123:
Mine got warm too when it was in pocket sitting..so got here looking for if someone has same issue and guess I'm not alone lol
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] topgun303:
Come on guys we are talking about dual core with 2 gig ram. It's almost a home laptop or desktop. And not to say there is no ****ing cpu fan installed so it normal for the phone to get little hot or warm after some use or charging. Even my ipbone 4s gets hot and that ****, is only running at 800 mhz
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Liferules:
I believe many of us are saying that the phone is getting hot while NOT using it - - just while it's in the pocket...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] stan.s:
I had it in the car with the charger connected, doing gps navigation while listening to music via BT and the wifi was on. After 30 minutes it was uncomfortably warm bordering on what I would call hot.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] riiviin:
Mine gets warms at the bottom, but I've also been using it a lot than I generally use my phone simply because it's new. We have one of those laser temperature sensors at work. I will probably get some readings tomorrow.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Tipo16v:
yes, mine gets pretty warm too at the bottom
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] jnichols959:
I had an AT&T HTC One X for a few weeks and returned it because I wanted this phone. Same processor. It never got hot or even warm enough to notice when using a lot (charging or not). Still waiting for stock in stores to get the GS3 but this is a real bummer IMHO as it may not be something that root/ROMs/etc. can fix.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] theraffman:
I may be wrong about this but I believe metal dissipates heat better than plastic. I'm an electrical contractor and I deal with LED bulbs alot and I've noticed that the same exact bulb in plastic gets hotter than the ones encased in metal... Take that for whatever you may.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] zmore:
Would rather have a "cheap" plastic phone that gets a little warm and can take a droptest better than a heavy "premium-feeling" cold metal phone that blocks the antennas and dents.

Ok got mine today and it's also getting very warm .I've noticed its much warmer when the 3g is running. I have the blue model and my gf has the white and I've noticed that mine is much warmer than hers but the blue back cover also appears thicker, could this be a contributing factor?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Kaede177:
My theory is that when the phone has a harder time connecting to 3g/4g/LTE it runs hotter. I noticed on multiple occasions that when i go to a movie theater and barely have any data connection the phone gets super hot an hour into the movie and losses battery FAST. The phone is not doing anything either just on standby. Last time tried flight mode and didn't have any great problems at all.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] patmacca:
I think you're right, it does get hot when it's trying to find 3g. I'm getting mine replaced on Thursday so I'll report back to say if the rep is any better.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] kegacide:

no biggie to me though
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] kitsVA:
Just got my AT&T version from Amazon and it's freak'n getting very hot at the bottom. I didn't even put the SIM card yet. Just connected to WiFi and setup up my Google account and it then downloaded about 10 apps I currently have installed on my Xperia Arc. No browsing, no video, nothing. Just logged to Facebook, twitter and played with one or two widgets.

Phone is lovely and the UI looks well on white S3. I turned off the phone as I was worried it will explode. Hope it's because of the first sync with Google which downloaded my emails and contacts.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] El Nivek:
It's a dual core phone, of course it will get warm. Under heavy usage I'd see my phone battery get to 106 degrees Farenheit, but I remember reading that the S III can handle high temps up to 140. Nothing to worry about.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] G3n3Ra1:
Ya mine gets a little warm, but not enough to concern me. I'm actually thinking about some sort of cooling mod atm. Perhaps a thin film of copper or aluminum placed in the right spot with thermal epoxy so as to dissipate thermal energy, but not so as to interfere with radio signals.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] littlecay:
s3 getting hot

I notice that the only time the phone gets "hot" is when using any navigation app. The bottom back gets hot very quickly and stays hot as long as the app is running. That is the only time. If your s3 is hot, I would bet that there is a nav app running in the background. Otherwise, my s3 never even gets warm.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] raghu007:
Mine gets hot some times randomly without any serious usage....weird it doesn't get hot when I pay games or use resource intensive app...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] nunyabiziz:
Maybe the chipset and ram are on the board inside the phone and the antennas(cell, wifi, gps) are on the outer layer.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] x_SCOS_x_ELITE:
same here, phone gets really hot just sitting in pocket on 3g. im using sprint pebble blue version. I am sending for a replacement and report back when it arrives in a few days
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] tcb4:
I've had mine hit 103 (the battery) while charging it (from 18%) and browsing the Internet. Heat gun measured 105°f on the back near the bottom. It's warm but it doesn't make it uncomfortable to hold.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] oh no Beast:
After ten minutes of video chatting omg. The thing was burning no display brightness neither!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] SightSeeker:
So does mine but nothing like my rezound would. That would hit 140 degrees all the time.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] tcb4:
I hear 140 is enough to cause a battery to heat up until it explodes. I suppose it's somewhat of a rarity, but better safe then covered in battery acid.

Hi! Does anybody know how to go from ICS 4.0.3 to 3.0.1 or 3.2 or 3.1? Because I'm having a lot of issues with ICS 4.0.3.

Mine is rooted and has Flexreaper ROM on it, I don't know why recovery mode doesn't work, as well as why I don't have CWM anymore, I had a custom kernel before which was givin in the bundle ROM by Flexreaper. Can anybody help me figure this out? Also if anybody is facing this problem?

I also noticed that the new ICS 4.0.3 makes my a500 tab screen flicker kind of wavey. Sorry for my horrible explanation.

Before you abandon ship, back up everything and try a hard reset. There were more than a few issues like yours that a reset solved. I had browser lag and video issues... I deleted Flash, reset, reinstalled Flash, and it's been buttery smooth since.
[Acer Iconia A500] Mkami:
Yeah! I would love to do something like that, every one mentions this hard reset and reset and full wipe. I've done those, but I'm not quite sure if it's the proper way I've been doing it.

Is there a thread posted previously that you did or anyone that you know did? Could you post the link?

By the way Denny I'm gonna try reinstalling my flash as well because I noticed how right before the video would start it kind of glitches and lags lol. But please let me know man!

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Tungstwenty:
The flicker issue and the lack of CRT-On effect are *exactly* the same issues that are present on the S2 lib as well.

It has been fixed there, but changing ARM code without the sources is a very tedious process and that requires a fair amount of testing till it eventually works.

Without having access to an S3 it's very hard to do this or even explain what needs to be done :(

On top of that, I have other pending stuff I need to work on so you shouldn't expect a fix very soon, sorry.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sphinx02:
Ok, I see the problematic.. But perhaps you can give me the original and the modified files from the s2 so I can compare the 2 files and perhaps see by myself what is changed! And as I never changed anything in .so files perhaps you can tell me additionally how you have edited them!

I'm willing to try around again and to play with bytecode or so on, but I think I need a little input from you!

You mentioned the tool objdump, so I think I have to become familiar with this tool, am I right?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Tungstwenty:
Ok then, I'll give you the starting pointers so you can have a look at what lies ahead :)

The S2 patched file with ON and OFF both working correctly, with no flickers, is in this post.

The S2 original file is attached here.

Do a binary compare to see the changed bytes and their offsets.

To have a look at the code, you need to have the NDK installed.

Run "objdump -x libsurfaceflinger.so" to see the decompiled ARM code.

And have fun trying to understand that :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sphinx02:
Ok, thank you for that.. I dont know at this point if I ever will have success with it but I will give it a try as I have the time to! Thank you very much again Tungstwenty for your tips/advice!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sphinx02:
While trying around a little bit and thinking about the problem, I had the following idea:

Is it not possible to build an own, additional library file with the crt-off functions? Sources for that are out there! Just copy together and build an .so file. Than in the Java-Code we are including this new native code and simply calling the function from this new / additional lib-file? What do you think about that?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kickassdave:

Lol sorry just seen the post a couple above mine. Hope you guys can fix it. Good luck.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Tungstwenty:
I don't think that's a viable option. rovo already tried that with existing sources, I think, and the resulting library did not work on sammy's rom.

As for creating a separate library with only those functions, I also don't think that's possible as everything related with screen rendering (state, buffers, etc.) is on this lib and therefore a separate one would not have any of that info.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Tungstwenty:
Hi,

I worked on the porting of the patch to S3 and despite not having one myself, I'm pretty confident that the binary rovo89 and myself included in the latest Tweakbox should work on an S3.

Could any of you guys try it out?

What to do:

Install the newest Xposed framework from here. Open the Installer app, press Install/Update and reboot.

Install the Tweakbox mod from here. Open it and enable the CRT effects in the appropriate section. You can also enable any other tweaks you like, to check if they also work for the S3 (most of them should)

Go back to the Xposed Installer app, activate the Tweakbox mod (2nd tab), then in the libraries section select "libsurfaceflinger.so" and use the I9300 version. Tick the "Replace in test-mode only" option and back in the 1st tab do a soft / test reboot.

If everything goes well and the effects work as expected, you can go back to the installer app and untick "test-mode only" so the lib is overridden on every boot.

Note that except for the app_process system file which is installed by the framework (creating a backup file, and which should have no practical effects until any mods are enabled later), all other replacements such as the surfaceflinger lib do not change anything in /system but are rather performed by loading the files from an alternate path.

I'd appreciate your feed back especially for the CRT effect, but also the other existing Tweakbox options.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] failax:
Now I try, thank you..

And CRT on is possible?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Tungstwenty:
Yes. If everything is working as I expect, the new things vs your current situation are:

- No more flickering issues when CRT-Off

- Now also includes CRT-On

- Can detect device orientation and do a "vertical" CRT effect instead of horizontal

All these are optional and can be turned on/off in the Tweakbox preferences.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] failax:
I tried.

CRT OFF has the same problem, CRT On is not visible, but I had to place also a jar file?

---------- Post added at 12:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:50 AM ----------

I must add that I'm on checkromevo hd and I've already inserted a mod to see crt off, I don't know if this can help.

Other mods in tweakbox work.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Tungstwenty:
Mmm, did you follow the steps I mentioned before, i.e. enabling the lib replacement in test mode and doing a soft reboot?

You should end up with a library on /vendor/lib (ramfs) and it should get loaded on startup instead of the one in /system/lib. Can you check with a file browser if the file under /vendor/lib does exist?

Also, could you open a terminal, run "set" and check if LD_LIBRARY_PATH is "/vendor/lib:/system/lib", as in S2?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] failax:
I've rebooted totally, what do you mean for soft reboot?

Now I try to see those files..

EDIT:

under vendor/lib I see 2 things, I see a folder called DRM and inside libdrmwvplugin.so, and single file called libwvm.so.

Also, could you open a terminal, run "set" and check if LD_LIBRARY_PATH ?

Yes it's there.
