[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] KryptosXLayer2:
This worked! I was constantly getting a "Forwarding number change failed" on my AT&T SIII when selecting Google Voice for my voicemail service, but I just followed the steps under Settings > Phones > Deactivate Google voicemail on this phone and then Activate Google voicemail on this phone - once you do that, the forwarded numbers under Call Forwarding on the phone list my Google Voice number like they should

Here's my only issue with this though.... if you could change the Voicemail service from My Carrier to Google Voice like normal, the next setting below it gives you options for Voicemail settings for Google Voice - that lists the number to dial, which is obviously your GV number and not the carrier specified one.... On the dialer, if you press the Voicemail icon without having GV enabled as the correct service, it dials the carrier specified one instead! I'm sure that when a voicemail comes in and pops up on the notification bar, I'm just going to click on that and read / listen to it there, but not having the option of dialing it straight away from the dialer is a little half-assed....

I found this for a solution on an S2 for AT&T, might give that a try and see if they can figure it out for me
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] mercado79:
On Stock Android, you could also set Google Voice to list voicemail within the call log and listen from there. Haven't tried it yet on the GS3.

Sent from my Sprint Galaxy S3
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] KryptosXLayer2:
You're right, I can change the number listed manually, but it still says "My Carrier" and not "Google Voice" on the voicemail service even though the number listed is now my GV number.... I got with tech support at AT&T and they called Samsung to assist with this, but I don't know why they did, it's an issue with AT&T and most likely Visual Voicemail preventing me from being able to change the voicemail service from "My Carrier" to "Google Voice" and Samsung couldn't do anything to fix it
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] zmore:
I was only able to switch my VoiceMail provider from AT&T to GoogleVoice by using the dialcode listed @ voice.google.com (*004*<insertyourGVnumberhere>#), and it works, even though the Dialer settings still shows "My carrier" instead of "Google Voice" as the provider, and attempting to change it in the dialer still says "Forwarding number change failed".

Anyway, my problem now is that I can't for the life of me figure out where to change the timeout before it forwards to VoiceMail. I test-called from another phone and it rings for at least 60 seconds(!) before forwarding to GoogleVoice, instead of the 15 or so it used to be.

Where do you change this, or can you
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rd13820:
On every ICS leak I have ran, be it Blu Kuban, Blazer or the official leaks I have ran into issues where I am not receiving some phone calls. I will get some calls, but then people text me and ask why I didn’t answer. The phone never actually rings, or it they tell me it rings and then goes to voicemail but it never rings on my end. I even called sprint and had them reprogram and reactivate my phone and it still does it.

I can run any gingerbread rom and this doesn’t happen.

It seems to do it at random. Is this a known issue or does anyone have any idea what could be causing it? Help?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] aksmith34:
I have this same issue and its not just on ICS ROMS. Me and my girl have the same phone. I'm the only one with it rooted hers is straight ginger bread. She misses calls also.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] revamper:
It's sprint service...

The only thing you can do is update your profile more often.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sean-El:
Same her, I am on AOKP, my friend is on Calks stock rooted and his wife is on completely stock. All of us miss calls.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zexell:
My single biggest complaint about this phone. Been happening to me since I got my E4GT. Very very annoying. Never happened when I had my Evo. Tried several roms and several modems. I basically just gave up and deal with it. Sad.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] epic4gfaded:
Its not just sprint all service providers have similar issues/glitches, I've witnessed similar problems with every provider.

I've called my wife and her phone not wrong and its up stairs, sees on att. I've called my pops and some how got connected to a different phone he's on version.

I think you going to run into problems no matter what phone or company
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Its funny that as tweaked as everyone gets about the Sprint service, the grass isn't always greener over in the other guys yard. :p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rd13820:
I get that it could be the network sometimes, but this didn't happen at all on Gingerbread for the almost year that I ran it and gingerbread roms. The only times it happens are on ICS roms. I've even tried running a Gingerbread modem (EL29) while on ICS and it still does it. I just don't get what causes it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thewadegeek:
I would say just a weird coincidence my friend, it happens to everyone once in a while. It's just one of those inherent flaws of wireless communication.

[Sony Tablet S] Horse Trader:
Is anyone else not impressed with Ice Cream Sandwich the recent 'update' for our Sony S tablets?

I, and I suspect many others have many issues, in particular mine are:

Poor WiFi stability, weaker signal, takes a while to connect, and, yes, I'm only a few metres from my router.

Screen flickers for no apparent reason ... just annoying.

A lot of my apps don't work anymore, or, are sluggish at best, even paid 'pro' apps too.

It seems to lock up on (many) occasions, can't change screens, powering on and off, mostly clears this ..... for a while!

If I could, I'd be happy to back revert to Honeycome, the previous OS, it was faster, stable, all my apps worked great, good WiFi.

It's not a pleasent experience using the Sony S tablet anymore .........

Anyone else thoughts on this?
[Sony Tablet S] tonylee2000:
Sorry, I but I do not share your woes. I got my tablet only a few weeks before ICS was released and although I experience one or two issues, and I certainly am not having the problems you seem to be.

Yes, I the screen flickering is annoying.. Curiously this is mainly an issue when I am running YouTube. But I am certainly experiencing less issues now than I was with HC. I can stay connected to wifi, and for a start. Which was a challenge with HC.

I appreciate that new SW comes with bugs. And am disappointed that the length of time it takes for Android bugs to be fixed. But generally, and I find ICS ok.
[Sony Tablet S] weretant:
WIFI

I am in THE USA and i am having a lot of trouble with the wifi on this tablet...it works when it wants to basically.... i have to turn wifi off then on and it works. SO UPDATE FROM SONY NEEDED TO ALL USERS!!!

LOVE ME,

WERETANT
[Sony Tablet S] Vedrick:
ICS Rocks! :victory:
[Sony Tablet S] Kermit33:
I am happy with ICS, no problem at all on my unrooted tablet s. :)

It's faster and more smooth than before !
[Sony Tablet S] shuckle:
For me ICS has soem good and some bad changes:

good:

1) faster, specially the remote is now a lot faster to change device

2) some nice new features, like the small apps

3) wifi works better. It starts faster and more reliable. Before ICS I often had to start it manually after sleep. Now it starts automatically almost always.

bad:

1) remote gets stuck sometimes and I need to wait 10-15 secs before it works again (daily)

2) system locks up now and then and needs to be reset via the reset pin (about once a week)

3) screen flicker (does not bother me much, very minor thing)

Overall I would recommend ICS update, but it is not perfect
[Sony Tablet S] Mahaco:
If you had your screen in stand-by, you wi-fi would probaly be off, thats not a big deal and yes its a bug, but its not going to be repaired atm, so we have to live with it, even if you turn on your screen again, it won't search automatic for signal, but only thing you have to do is going to settings>wi-fi and thats it not even touching other buttons, then it will auto detect and connect no problem,

The screen flickering, well yes its annoying but no its not that bad, just make shure the tab hasn't many apps working at the same time, keep killing apps, and it will happen not as much anymore,

I think ICS is way better then Honeycomb, so not only the looks but also the system, its fast good looking and stable. at least for me. i can't complain so i won't 2 little things can not end the pleasure of this beatifull tablet,

If you don't want any problems just wait for the Windows 8 microsoft Tablet, or simply buy a normal Laptop, android is growing really fast but its not as big as other olders systems, be proud with what you have.

Please keep in mind i'm dutch so my english could be ****ty. :D
[Sony Tablet S] Kermit33:
My Wi-Fi reconnects automatically and immediately when the screen turns on again before and after the upgrade to ICS !

If you don't want any problems just wait for the Windows 8 microsoft Tablet? Who knows if that will be the case :confused:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cypher_zero:
Frequently Asked Questions

This FAQ is in the works as more questions roll in so I'll do my best to keep it updated.

Q:

Odin failed! What do I do!?

A: Try plugging your USB cable into a different USB port on your computer and/or try a different USB cable (Odin's picky about the cable). The drivers may install again; if so, wait for them to finish. After that, verify that the device shows as Added in Odin again and click start again. If that still fails, try unchecking F. Reset Time box and removing any MicroSD card you have in the device, plug the device into (yet another) USB port and try again.

Q:

Will these instructions work for other US (LTE) versions of the GS3?

A: I have not personally tested this method on any other versions of the GS3 but uoY_redruM and carrrnuttt (and others) have confirmed that this method works for the T-Mobile version as well. It should in theory also work for the AT&T and Verizon versions, though that's unconfirmed at this point.

Q:

Ok, so I've got Root. What now?

A: That's entirely up to you. Root allows a near endless amount of customizatoin, but some of the most commonly sought after benefits of Root are these:

Root Only applications. These allow you to simply do more with your phone or tweak the way it functions. Some that I personally recommend are:

Titanium Backup and its Pro Key => For making backups of your apps, app data and system data and uninstalling or freezing Bloatware.

Quick Boot => For booting drectily to recovery or Download Mode (listed as Bootloader in the App)

Removing Bloatware => I recommend Titanium Backup for this

Loading custom ROMs. There aren't many floating around just yet, but I expect that'll change soon as the ball gets rolling.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] daniel06gt:
Excellent write-up. Thanks. Now can we install custom roms from other forums or do we have to specifically wait for any to come up here.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bigzeak85:
Great write up! very easy and simple
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cypher_zero:
You should wait for any specific Sprint Galaxy S3 ROMs that get posted if you want to ROM your phone. I'm sure some will be popping up by the end of the weekend so I wouldn't expect that you'll have to wait too long :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] teh roxxorz:
Excellent write up, though I don't see the difference in methods; maybe because I speed read it but if you follow noobnl's method, you basically do the same thing, minus the adb to set the permissions, though if you install busybox, its the same goal. Again great because some people are afraid of adb. :)

Great write-up! Thanks for taking the time to do this.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] noobnl:
Thanks for writing this up!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cypher_zero:
Yes, this and noobl's method are pretty much the same, the main reason for this post is to put the method into an easy-to-read step-by-step format that's easy for beginners to follow. Remember, we were all beginners at some point :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Bizdady:
I come from HTC so Odin is new to me, this guide is little more friendly than noobl's method. Although either would suffice this is just pretty clearly laid out.

Look forward to root.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] redline57:

Thank you. Now let the games begin....

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RandomKing:
You can always script a bat file or two, saves always rewriting commands. ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Bizdady:
I actually prefer adb over one click roots.

Something about seeing what your doing and sense of accomplishment lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] teh roxxorz:
No qualms there, just making sure I didn't miss anything. Though you are right, it may be hard for a beginner to follow noob's more experienced cut throat guide. Kudos.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krifos:
I noticed when trying to use smart tools-app for measuring that camera seemed zoomed in, and the measurements were way off no matter what I did. On my SGS3 it works fine.

Then today I tried videocall on skype, and I had the same problem there - the camera seemed zoomed in, and i was also in the wrong aspect ratio, so the video-image got stretched.

Anyone had a similar problem? On WW .30-firmware.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reilly1812:
Did it work any better (skype) on .29? Camera appears better but the app not optimized for android phone or tablet, at least mine. :mad:
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krifos:
I just got my tablet a few days ago, and updated firmware before I started using it, so don't know how it worked on previous versions. Any way I can downgrade my firmware? I have rooted my device.

I did however have the tf201 back in February, and I can't say that I had any issues with Skype then.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reilly1812:
I've had mine since .17 and rooted immediately. Skype and ooVoo work, but the apps really aren't great on Androids. The video is full-screen which taxes the device and stretches the images terribly. The iPad does a much better job of it. I won't unlock and lose warranty, so I don't pay too much attention to the flashing and downgrading of this device. IMO each upgrade has improved the system and it;s not worth going backwards.

Some folks who read Android Central regularly may have already seen this, but there are some pretty useful tips for the new version of TouchWiz Nature UX:

http://www.androidcentral.com/top-10-things-you-need-know-about-your-galaxy-s-iii

Personally I think the disabling of the S Voice home tap, killing the water droplet sounds, and gesture-based controls are pretty good tips.

Nothing groundbreaking that you couldn't find digging around the menus, but nice that it's all written up in one quick list.

[Motorola Droid X2] Triscuit:
Hey guys, I know we can underclock our CPU but has anyone found a good app to either increase the min frequency and have it actually stick? The only one I've found was System tuner by 3c but it only sticks for a bit and then either hangs or just plain doesn't work. I've found that keeping the min values at about 608mhz will stop just about all music skips for me. And yes I know this will kill my battery.
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
Sometimes I get lucky with ROM Toolbox's CPU settings. Set your minimum and reboot.
[Motorola Droid X2] Triscuit:
Oh wow. I forgot to reboot! No frills CPU is working now. Thanks for kickstarting this thing I call a brain.
[Motorola Droid X2] Triscuit:
Ok I'm getting annoyed now, no frills CPU works BUT it kills itself minutes after I leave the app. Ill set the CPU to...lets say 1ghz min and Max it will show in system panel that indeed it is staying clocked at 1ghz and not fluctuating. Then ill go do something else on my phone, for example, browse the xda forums, I come back to system panel and its fluctuating again!!! Ive tried rebooting after setting the CPU min/Max but it will still do the same thing. Ive noticed that after i exit no frills it either goes into cached processes or it just stops and acts like i killed it, any ideas?

Edit: I wanna say its a superuser hang issue, I've tried supersu but it seems to hang as well but I'm open to peoples opinions.
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
Are you on cm7 or Eclipse?
[Motorola Droid X2] Citizen_Snips:

OK. Lemme find my X2 and look around

Found it. Nandroiding to cm7.

Rom toolbox isn't working for me...3 FCs
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
Just testing to see if the settings would stick after setting them,then rebooting.

Sliders did but the CPU obviously didn't.
[Motorola Droid X2] Triscuit:
Yep same thing I'm getting, I'm wondering if there is an init.d script that could be made that would lock it at certain frequencies. That.....is out of my knowledge
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
sorry guys

this isn't possible

no matter how you try to set the min/max with ANY unit.d script or app, it just

will not stick.

at first it well seem like it's working for a few minutes. but then something happens and the kernel basically says "no that ain't gonna happen anymore" and kicks the min/max back to where it should be (the sliders in the apps won't move, but the actual system min/max and governor will be what it is supposed to be)

trust me, I've tried this from just about any angle fire the longest time.

sorry to be the bearer of bad news :(

[General Questions and Answers] digitalsdc:
Hello World!

I have a Samsung Galaxy Sii and have been taking photos happily for some time. I'm currently low on space in the phone's storage but have plenty free on the SD card. The problem is that my recent photos taken no longer show up in the DCIM/Camera folder though they are viewable in the Gallery. However, since I want to download them to my PC, I need to find them somewhere.

The odd thing is that I do have .TEC files in my DCIM/Camera/cache folder which I believe are the actual image photos in some sort of proprietary format. I wonder if maybe they couldn't be converted to .JPG for some reason so they're just stuck in the cache still.

Has anyone else encountered this or is anyway aware of a solution?

Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] tribalartgod:
So I just came across this thread...Not sure if you ever go tthis resolved or not... but in the playstore is an app called TEC2JPG. This will do what you want it to. Typically, those TEC files are just the thumbnail cache. The free version gives you 3 conversions, and the paid version is unlimited. Test it with the free version first.
