[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jelucas30:
I'm currently running CyanogenMod 7.2 stable. My kernel is Tiamat 3.3.7 with smartass gov. My question, is anyone having any issues with there phone overheating and randomly restarting? It always seems to get really warm on the bottom on the back. I'm guessing near the processor.

I tried reinstalling the rom and switched kernels between Tiamat and SalvagedZen, underclocked down to 806mHz and it still seems to do the same thing.

Does anyone know of any setting changes or adjustments I can make to stop this? This only seems to happen when running this Rom, I never get it when running Sense. I would really like to keep this Rom but the warm phone in hand thing is beginning to become unbearable.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
Try using Mason 15rc 4 and change your gov to Wheatly. Play around with it
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jelucas30:
I never heard of that kernel but I'm going to give it a try. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evocm7:
Are you using sbc? That will make the phone run hotter even when not plugged in. I always used sz kernel since it had option to turn off sbc when not charging
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
I've always used SBC and never had that problem
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jelucas30:
Yes, I've always used sbc. I'll try one without.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evocm7:
Ya it makes a difference. How hot you getting?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jelucas30:
Between 41 to 43 degrees Celsius.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evocm7:
With heavy use or light use?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jelucas30:
To be honest, pretty heavy use. But even when I'm on it for a short time.

It's almost as if my processor clocks to full max every time a turn my screen on.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evocm7:
43 isn't too bad. I don't like phone getting that hot but it does occasionally especially since I have the rezound now and 45-50c is considered average! :eek:

What gov were you using? The CPU frequency doesn't impact temps too much. Its mainly the screen pulling juice and heating the battery. Best you can do is keep screen as dim as you can take it and underclocking a bit will help just a tad. I like sbc as well but like I said earlier, savaged Zen has an extra app called sz manager I think its called to disable/enable sbc whenever you want (when not charging ) give it a shot
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
Were any sZ kernels made for GB?? I don't think so, but not sure
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evocm7:
Yep. 2.21 bfs worked best for me. They aren't developing anymore though and their website is dead. I have the kernel on my pc that I can upload later today if anyone wants/needs it

Found an app thats gives full access to Hulu without any restrictions plus it has a lot of other features. Its called WonderShare Player https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wondershare.player&hl=en

This is not Hulu Plus it just lets you watch videos on Hulu without getting the platform warning. If you have Hulu Plus just log in when you click on Hulu.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SystemErrorOne:
I had netflix..i should try hulu

is it any better? do i have too pay? >>> YES IM THAT LAZY TOO GOOGLE IT UP xD
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] erick161:
Hulu trumps Netflix for my needs. Hulu streams CURRENT shows, Netflix does not (only after the season is done). Netflix obviously does movies better, but they don't have a great online selection...and many movies and shows require the additional home delivery service. Hulu is 7.99 a month. I just torrent the rest of what I can't get on Hulu (HBO, cinemax shows and new release movies).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dincdoes.me:
.....................

Yes I'm to lazy to type that you need to google it.'............

Yes you need to pay for hulu .. .. ..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] porkenhimer:
Hulu is free but if you want to watch everything on Hulu you have to pay for Hulu Plus. Hulu only lets you watch a limited amount of episodes form each season. With Hulu Plus you get to watch full seasons of TV shows.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jpoirier587:
hulu+ = current tv episodes

netflix = past seasons and whole series as well as movies.

a monthly subscription to both runs you about $15 a month. i dont watch tv anymore between the two of them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dincdoes.me:
it keeps saying for hulu that I need flash but I do and updated anyone else have this problem?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] erick161:
I don't have cable TV specifically because of Hulu plus...and finding everything online. Saves me 70+ bucks a month.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] porkenhimer:
It says that on most every site with this app but its fine, just hit the green play button and the video you clicked on will play. This app does not use flash player it uses HTML5 so you may not get some animations but you can view videos. This app is about viewing the videos even if animations are not displayed correctly its still a great app that lets you watch videos from a lot of sites.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] cpinheir:
great app, but...

I fear for it's longeveity, at least for the hulu part of the app. Seems to me Wondershare player is violating hulu's TOS all over the place:

- allows playing on moble devices w/o paying for hulu+

- allows circumventing of in-video advertsement

- allows downloading of streamed video for later playback and/or file distribution.

I predict Hulu/NBC will soon be coming at the makers of this app with their pack of rabid lawyers.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul_Days:
Hello Gang,

I have a Samsung Galaxy SIII Live Demo Unit. It is basically a Galaxy SIII minus the SIM Card slot and MicroSD slot. I have noticed that the OS has minor limitations...for instance, I want to use the device under USB MTP so I can transfer the music and pics I added via bluetooth and I cant.

Has anyone seen this? Is there anything I can do, take screenshots or such so i can atleast run the true ICS TouchWiz. For instance, S Voice is not included, and I Want it. S Beam, SmartStay, NFC, Wifi Direct, DLNA, All Share, all that is in there.

Cheers,

IMEI Restauration

Hello,

When you get a "Live demo unit", you have a generic IMEI 004999010640000.

You have to restore the IMEI to use the GSM.

You can find tutorials with a google search "IMEI restauration".

For Samsung Galaxy, you can have a look here :

cnn.cn/shop/samsung-i9300-galaxy-antenna-coaxial-cable-p-15929.html

there is your part but in your motherboard there is no receptacle to connect the connector

you will need to cut the cable and solder it on board. look on the W2 point

by the way sorry for my terrible english

I think the antenna in your link is for the wi-fi, am I right ? We are looking for the GSM antenna which i think would be the following

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] razorsbk:
so, if the IMEI sticker is missing, and also the " Not for sale " sticker on the battery is missing because they`ve removed the battery wrapping then don`t buy it. You should be careful. If the phone is very cheap and the seller tries to get rid of it, say NO.

Hello Fellas

Here are the pics of a demo unit I have...the obvious let's not talk about it: It's missing the SIM Card and MicroSD reader, but I have that. I want your knowledge on the Antenna part, if you tell me the part number, link or paste a picture, in reference to my unit, I'd appreciate it.

This also could help others as well, or serve as reference information.

Is this the antenna you all are referring to?? (Pic 1)

EDIT: I was told and shown it is. Will reconfirm tommorow with my Demo Unit, unless someone has photos readily available.

EDIT 2: Confirmed. This is it.

The Next question: Has anybody soldered a or the coaxial cable to the board? I have found some U.FL coaxial plug on ebay as well. Anybody knows how to place it on the board? (See Pic 2)

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Robin_:
You have to solder this connector with hot air station or try solder just cable to the board (cut female connector).
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xenne:
it is pretty obvious that connectors & antenna coax cable are missing on top side, but some more components might not be on the PCB (bottom side).

i dont have access to a live demo unit but it should be possible to figure out what you need using the Samsung Galaxy S3 (GT-I9300) Service Manual posted on this forum and order all the missing parts (if any)

originalspareparts.com.ua/phones/samsung/i9300_galaxy_s_iii#s

maybe you can post a photo of the bottom side?

but from the photo you posted i think ANT102, ANT103 (top) & ANT501, ANT500 (right side) are missing

ANT200 & ANT203 appears to be there, so BT/WiFi & GPS are problaby working on yr unit?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul_Days:
Yes, BT and Wifi work. Someone in a certified shop said he could actually solder the coax pin to the board so no slicing of cables is necessary.

Can u show me what other ANT parts im missing? i placed front and back of the board.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xenne:
there is not going to be an easy fix, on first sight it appears that pretty much every component needed to connect to network is not present on the PCB... and you should remove the iron cover so that more missing components will become visible.

the ANT500 & ANT501 that are missing have probably nothing to do with the network connecting, most likely they are used for wireless charging, most likely some more compotents are missing for that feature, but the service manual has no info about that feature, so it is impossible to figure out what exactly is missing, but that is the least of your worries i think

good luck...

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xenne:
as i posted above you, an antenna will not 'fix' the phone, several components are missing on the pcb. you should make a complete list of components an order them. one of the missing components for instance is the Intel Wireless PMB9811X Gold Baseband processor (=UCP300)

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gliatiotis:
The live demo units come in different variations . Some lack software capabilities and some don't . All of them lack the antenna connector on the pcb , the one used for the GSM and UMTS bands at least . There are also some components missing from the PCB itself . One of them is the multiplexer for all the GSM and WCDMA bands used in europe , and wile it is pretty easy to solder , it is quite hard to find without access to Samsung .

My unit also lacks the abitilty to connect to a computer in any possible way . The pins are connected to the micro-USB connector , however the circuitry needed is missing from the PCB .

Any idea how i can flash a rom from the stock recovery mode ?

I want to get rid of the annoying retail demo application that starts up all the time .

Intented repair !

Hello everybody !!!

****For people who wants to fix a demo unit****

I've also buyed a demo unit to a motherfuc***** seller on ebay...

After trying to fix it in a software way and some other tweaks (I can't speak of that here) with no success, I tried to fix the hardware.

First I was not knowing that I've buyed a demo unit (the seller has told me that it was unlocked to all networks....:cyclops:) so I was thinking that the gsm antenna has burned or something.

I buyed a new gsm antenna (3$) and I tried to fix it but when I opened the S3 I saw that there is some PCB's components who were missings!!!!!!!

:mad:

I tried to find it on the web but nobody sells them and I tink that nobody will sell them in the future because Samsung has certainly forbidden the selling of these parts...

I've read upper that a person have buyed a motherboard from a dead S3 an replaced it : I think that from now it is the only solution to fix this problem. But if someone find the solution I'm really interested !

Thanks for reading me and sorry for my poor english 'cause I'm a frog, LOL
