/efs backup can help you only when your IMEI gets corrupted and you don't have gsm network. That means you can boot Android, but you will have problems with baseband.

You have another type of problem, right now efs can't help you, you must boot into system first.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] snow:
domini99, tried already to do that. Without success

---

domcale, the app "Galaxy Ace Unlock" made a backup of /dev/block/stl5 (called "stl5.rfs") which I found on memory card.

If I can't boot up in system/CWM/Recovery and I can enter in Download Mode, what this means? :(
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] domcale:
Can't enter recovery? Dunno why you can't, but if you can enter download mode, then you can flash stock rom using Odin
[XPERIA X10 General] Bwyan Benton:
Hello X10 owners, I would just like to give a little help if I could.

I recently spent some time with the devs of the vignette camera app. The problem was if your on stock rom 2.3.3 and use vignette at 8mp and superfine settings your saved images will have weird lines throughout it.

If you have noticed that then here is the fix. You must be rooted. The devs cannot fix this from there end. Stock rom heap size is 32m. While android requires 32m to process a 8mp photo, it must also hold the app, you can see it's not enough.

In the build.prop, change the heap size to 48m from 32m. And enjoy using vignette to its full potential.

**if your running a custom rom, chances are the heap size is already 40-48...but check it to make sure.

If this has already been posted, then sorry, disregard.

:)
[XPERIA X10 General] Speederoff:
"dalvik.vm.heapsize=48m

dalvik.vm.checkjni=false

dalvik.vm.check-dex-sum=false

dalvik.vm.dexopt-flags=m=y,v=n,o=v

dalvik.vm.jniopts=forcecopy

dalvik.vm.lockprof.threshold=500

dalvik.vm.verify-bytecode=false"

Do you mean that heapsize =48 change to 32?

and it will reduce the performance ? Currently i am using Feralab NG.
[XPERIA X10 General] Bwyan Benton:
No, did you read the sentence I wrote at the end? It said if you were using a custom rom chances are your heapsize is already 48.

Your using a custom rom, your heapsize is already 48..your good to go.

Its mainly for stock rom users, and a few custom roms like Zmod

Hi....... Im using Tsf shell on my Samsung s3. The only problem I have is that every now and then the shell loads up., just like when you turn the phone on...*It happens when I use an app and then try to go back to my home screen... Most times it's okay but every now and then the shell needs to load......... It only takes about. 10 second to load and then all is ok

Happens when I use various apps or sometimes when the phone is on standby

Anyone else having this problem

Any advice*Sent from Samsung S3

[General Questions and Answers] d-pabs:
I recently installed Wildstang's 4.0... ROM on my Dinc phone. I now seem to be having problems with sending picture messages. Anyone know why that might be?

Here are the details:

1. formatted and installed ROM update as per Wildstang's instructions.

2. incoming/outgoing messages working fine.

3. noticed a few days later that sending pictures via mms doesn't work (they just sit there). I can receive picture messages.

4. Call VZW. Dance around the question, "is this a rooted phone?"

5. They continue to help, ask me to do a Restore to Factory.

6. Did Restore to Factory, picture messages work...browser and a number of other apps do not.

7. Format phone and re-install ROM as per #1.

8. Picture messages work sending and receiving.

9. One day later I notice my pictures stop sending, I can still receive.

The only thing I can think I may have done to break the picture sending part is I used Titanium Backup to uninstall several VZW bloat apps which I had uninstalled in the old 2.xxx ROM (Actually, on that version I did it through ADB Shell and command line).

10. redid step #1.

11. Restored only my Google Market apps and left all VZW bloat alone using Titanium.

12. Now I can't even get my phone to send pictures at all (get the "failed to send" error). I have been able to send/receive normal text messages all along and I have been able to receive picture messages all along.

Any thoughts or insights into what might be wrong? I'm mildly suspicious that there is a bit of a conspiracy going on with VZW because coincidentally, they told me the other day that my contract is up for renewal and I should look to upgrade my phone :rolleyes: It's so very odd that I have had my phone for 2 years with zero problems like this and now when it comes time to extending my contract that problems begin to occur...hah!
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Envy718:
I have a GS3 for att and a few hours after i bought the phone i noticed the back door cover is not snapping in on the bottom left side. After thinking i might be able to return the phone to the best buy i got it from and exchange it i decided to wait two days. Turns out my only option is returning not exchanging due to the high demand of the phone. I tried to call samsung to see if could possibly send me a back cover since all the hooplah about the back cover recall during production i figured it would not be a problem. I first tried to get this fixed through their live chat system. In the end they told me its not cover because its physical damage. I proceeded to call their support and see if they could give me the same answer. They in turn said I would have to send the phone to them but since I have no oter phone now I could not do that so I politely asked to speak to a manager but there were "on the phones" and "busy" so they took my number and told me they would call me back. Well.... I guess you can figure out what happened with that promise. I called a second time and after a 40 minute call it got me nowhere. They then told me on my second call that the back cover was not covered in the warranty because it was a "detachable part of the phone" and that it was an "accessory". I told them this does not make sense because isnt the battery considered detachable and an accessory? This time i asked for a manager again and I guess the managers were being lazy because not one of them wanted to speak with me because they were on "call" ironically. Can anyone help me with this situation any suggestions anything I can tell them to actually do something about this? I also already told them that all over the internet there were news about defective back covers during manufacturing and how it was pulled to be fixed and how people are posting pics of back cover issues also including on this forum! Im so aggravated with their customer support that i have a headache. :mad:

Look up on ebay to find a replacement. I know a lot of sites sell battery back covers and they aren't expensive

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] pinoymutt:
Because of the crazy demand of the phone, you may have to wait it out if you can't be without phone and hope BBY gets some stock in within your 30 day (?) exchange window.

If you absolutely can't wait, you may wanna try ebay for a replacement back, since it's been reported the the international doors work just as well. But that would require you to shell out some dough for something that isn't your fault :(
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] ghost77:
Stock back cover is crap, really poor decision from Samsung. Finger print magnet and slippery. Anyways there are tons of 3rd party replacement back covers anywhere from 2$ to 10$, with better decals or nice tactile texture some even metal or leather.

Check amazon or just Google.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] archtech3d:
Buy the official flip cover - replaces the back. Use that until you find a replacement back. Can we even get those yet by the way?...
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Ansextra:
I've read that some of the back covers block NFC. Be careful with what you get.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] joshnichols189:
Yeah the metal ones..

Try putting the bottom left in first then bottom right then go up. Mine was like this until I did this.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] pterry30:
you can but on ebay, offical samsung back battery covers in white and blue. They are around $30.00 . I got mine a couple of days ago as I wanted an extra cover.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] jdpdata:
Wow, this is really poor customer service from Samsung. I had a loose battery door on my Motorola DX. I did online chat with rep, after 2 minutes of taking my info then she sent me a brand new battery door. Received in mail 2 days later.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] graffixnyc:
I would say file a better business Bureau complaint. Everytime I have filed a complaint someone from the executive offices called me back. I filed one against LG and got them to replace my phone after sending it in for repair 3 times and all 3 times didn't fix it. I also had an issue with dell and filed a complaint and the escalation office called me and bent over backwards to make me happy. So I would suggest doing that and you will get a call back within a week guaranteed

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] ArborRes:
First, the manufacturing issue had everything to do with the surface quality, not the fit issue.

Second, you need to learn to insert the cover properly. If you insert from the bottom and just press hard around the edge all the way around, it will fit in snuggly.

Third, if you still can't get the cover to assemble or break the cover in the process of forcing it in, just buy a replacement cover. It is not expensive and certainly not worth your time and effort to argue with Samsung over it, imho.

Just trying to be helpful...
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Envy718:
Im not retarded I know how to put the back cover on I have already done this and it is not staying. Im one of the few people that read the manuals. I have never broke the cover because it came like that out of the box. I would not be calling samsung or posting on this forum had any of this been my fault at all.

Call wherever you bought it, see if someone returned a defective one and have them swap the cover for you.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] cardinalryan:
I just don't think the OP has a very good argument. I know he thinks he didn't break it, but it's possible that he broke it without knowing that he broke it. So I'm not saying the OP is lying, I'm just saying that it's possible that he didn't realize he did it.

Even if it wasn't the OP's fault, I can understand where Samsung is coming from. They have millions of people waiting for their phones and one guy calls wanting them to supply a new phone or a new back cover. Not gonna happen, nor should it happen with these tight demands.

When stock becomes more plentiful, then the OP should expect an opportunity to replace the back cover, but until then, he should just sit tight, throw a case on, a flip cover, or buy an aftermarket back cover, but tying up his time and Samsungs time for what is, mostly, a trivial issue is ridiculous, IMO.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] lgkahn:

Do any of you what the general process is? I don't want to send the entire phone back just for the back-cover.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] ddurandSGS3:

So the t mobile website has the 16gb white S3 in stock but i cant purchase it because there is no option to buy it for full price no contract. I need it off contract so i can use it with my monthly 4g prepaid plan. I called support and the guy knew pretty much nothing he just told me "i understand and yes there is no option to buy it off contract online you will have to buy it at a retail store." I just think this is complete bull.. I talked to chat support last week and she said i could in-fact buy it off contract online but apparently not. God knows how long ill have to wait for my local retail store to get some in stock. And forget about getting the 32gb because thats online only..

Hi! Just tought I'd let you guys know I got GSM working properly (voice, data, sms) on stock-ish ICS leak (CONROM V4).

I just made the following changes to build.prop:

ro.config.lte=false

ro.telephony.default_network=3

Did a factory reset, and everything worked right away. APN was configured automatically, and there's no FC on the Mobile Network settings. It still shows the "This SIM card is from an unknown source" message, though :/

I believe this should work on stock ICS leaks and other custom roms built on it, but I've just tested it on CONROM V4 so far.

Let me know if this works for you :D

Just an update, I have tried this on the unmodified stock ICS leak and it works as well. Note that must wipe after modding and skip the Verizon activation for it to work.
