[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Mike:
I listened to my music on the Sky ICS GS3 music player fine on my way home yesterday and when I went to listen to my playlist today nothing would play. The timer woould sit at 0 no matter where it was in the song. After a little bit I went to All Songs and I noticed that each song had a second copy. A song would show up as 2 files that were seemingly identical except the first file was blank as I described above, while the second was normal and intact. All the music in playlists were the blank copied versions though. Has anyone else had this happen or know how this could of happened so it doesn't happen again? Should I remove all music from my SD and reload?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] taranis17:
Why wouldn't you try that? Gotta start somewhere, ya know...

Dump your music, open the app, see what you have left. Research and dump whatever's left.

Reload music to SD via Windows. See what you have in the app.

Rinse/repeat till you figure it out.

Worst case scenario, you need to wipe your phone and reload the rom. I've had crap left over on my emmc that caused oddball issues on the next flash. Gallery finding every album cover, wifi drops, etc..

Can say the latest ICS works perfectly after a full wipe and reload. Redid my TB backups too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vincecr:
I have been having trouble with my i727 over the past few weeks. It has shown 3 different problems which are really starting to bug me. The three problems are not related but I have condensed them into one thread. Please pardon me as I am pretty noobish with the software end of things.

1. Glitchy when charging. Any time I plug in a charger the screen and softkeys freeze up. I have to hold the power button for a while to get it to unlock. When it is not frozen. The screen is messed up. Sometimes I tap with one finger or slide to unlock and it zooms as if in multitouch. One time I tried to dial a 3 in a phone number and it dialed 374 just randomly on its own. I don't know if the charger is messing something up in this. Note: This started happening after I rooted for the first time but has been consistent through the many roms I have had. I'm pretty sure its not skyics. Do I need to call ATT for this

2. Also my GPS has been taking a really long time to fix if not at all. I normally use it in maps but if I open a simple gps coordinates read out app. Sometimes the GPS fails to start. I don't know if it is a skyics issue or if I have a hardware issue. Any input would be helpful

3. Lastly, its not really a big deal and is probably a simple fix but I have tried everything. I use dolphin browser and everytime I search google it thinks I am in canada and no matter how many times a change it. It always reverts to canada.

If you have experienced these issues or if you know why they are being caused please let me know because I don't know what they could be. My phone (should) still be under warranty (if you ignore the root) so I may want to call ATT especially if its a hardware prblem
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Mike:
It sounds like a bad flash and you may want to wipe and reflash. As for the GPS I am on Sky ICS 6B and the GPS is glitchy frequently. For example today I wanted to look up directions to a restaurant down the street and the GPS thought I was 2,000 miles away in Vegas (I wish lol). I tryed it again tonight and the gps is working. I don't know how to fix the gps problem and we may just have to wait for updates in the rom, but as for the other systems it sounds like a bad flash as I described before. Anyone else think this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 8ballhacker:
First if you are on a Custom Rom, try updating it or reinstall the current rom. Delete Caches, and try again

for GPS, Maybe try another GPS app such as my favorite CoPilot

And for browsers I would switch to another browser, I am currently test three at the moment, Chrome, Puffin, and Opera. I must say Puffin is simple and fast, while I use opera on my Desktop so I would prefer Opera. Try it out might just be the browser.

Could be just settings in the browser that is set to Canada English Language settings.

Well I hope I helped some what. :cyclops:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Bealzibooze:
I've had the exact same problem with the GPS on Sky ICS 6B, and I thought it was just me because no one has listed it as a known issue! I guess it's time to try a different ROM.

As far as the glitches while charging - are you using the supplied Samsung charger that came with the phone? This phone is highly sensitive to ANY other charger not designed specifically for the i727.

---------- Post added at 11:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:25 PM ----------

I'm pretty sure the Canada problem has to do with Sky ICS as well, because my phone seems to do the same thing!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Mike:
I find the opposite in my experience. When using my Samsung charger (usually at weird angles though because charge & use while in bed) it disconnects rather often , while my Atrix 2 charger stays connected without issue. As I said though it may just be the obnoxious angles the cord gets put in. As for the GPS I was also surprised to see little to no complaints about issues with it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] taranis17:
1. There's a few posts over in the ICS threads that talk about charging issues. Do a search for those (stock charger, etc) and see if any of the symptoms match yours.

Frankly, I think you have a bad flash, as someone else mentioned. IMO its best that you backup your pics, videos, music, etc, then wipe both your internal and external SD cards, then load ICS on your ext SD and start over completely from the beginning. No restoring backups from TB, either. Take the extra time and reload everything from the app store and set them up manually.

Case in point, Seanscreamz mentioned in the 4.0.4 thread that he accidentally wiped his emmc (internal SD) and after reload it fixed some glitchy weirdness.

2 & 3 are related. Your browser is using your map data, and so does your GPS if you have that turned on in settings. Fix one, you fix the other. I had the GPS issue in SkyICS as well. Go into the maps app, clear data and clear cache. Immediately reboot the phone into recovery, wipe dalvik and cache from there. Reboot. Since the phone has to rebuild the davlik cache, it takes awhile to come back up.

That fixed my issue (even if some steps were unnecessary, it can't hurt).

If you do flatten and reload the phone, don't forget to install Busybox and run Fix Permissions after you install the update.

Good luck!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] MRBR7:
Not an easy question to answer! But what are the chances of using a Micro SD Break out board and making a Usb Host from this port? Then the charger could be used whilst watching a movie say for example due to D- and D+ being able to be shorted and resistors added without effecting data transfer due to usb now being on different lines....

Basically this is another approach to having Usb host and charging at same time for watching movies whilst travelling.

Will post up break out pic later..

Also the make your own cables thread with usb host plus charging doesnt work.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Hypercore:
Hey everyone, I have two favourite ROMs on these forums but I've had an annoying problem with both. It's SickSense and Nocturnal. When I install these ROMs there's always a 4G icon regardless of my current connection. If I'm on Wifi, there's still an annoying 4G icon. I've flashed the Stock System UI and it's still there.

Does anyone know how to get rid of the constant 4G icon?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kleeman7:
It's because the rom is at&t based, if you can find the gsm patch from pre 4.x cleanrom you can flash that to get rid of it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jags_the1:
CleanRom has a gps patch which will remove it. not sure if it will with other roms.try CleanRom
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Hypercore:
I know this may seem like asking a lot but I can not find a link to it anywhere, not even in the thread

Could.someone please link me?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] techlogik:
I think Cleanrom removed the gsm patch from his build due to issues sinde he deoxed the latest, so buggy or something.

Download the cleanrom 3 and unzip it, there is a cleanrom sdcard folder where the extras are located you can grab it from there i think.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jags_the1:
or wait for the new cleanrom 4.5 it will not have the annoying 4g icon by default now
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] EoinCuinn:
I'm waiting.

I'm on the Telstra One XL, same issues, because our network goes 3g / Next G / 4g, with NextG sort of being the equivalent of your 4g, and 4g being the equivalent of your LTE. Poor thing doesn't have a clue what to do. I got stuck into the systemui.apk last night and had a look, but the work involved swapping the icons out and getting the xml right on a few glasses of port looked a bit daunting. I'm just gonna stick it out.

More annoyingly for the Telstra phone, we have an option in connections called Network Mode which enables us to hop from LTE (4g) back to NextG very easily, none of the custom roms have it.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] mojohio:
Enjoying my GS3 for the past 2 days. One main concern is I can't send texts to my groups of contacts which can get up to 75 per group. This was easy to perform with the HTC Sensation SMS app. Has anyone found a mod/work-around to edit this restriction to number closer to 100? I understand I can use 3rd party Handsent & GoSms, but I'm not able to use them for the fact you have to select if it's the home or mobile number you are texting. I can't do that for 75 contacts each time because there is no memory feature for that.

I believe there was a regedit where the string was changed from 10 to 99 for group texting in previous phones. Thanks in advance if you can provide a solution to this issue using the stock Sammy messaging app.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] mojohio:
Here was the fix for the HD2:

**Increasing the number of allowed recipients in group sms through default HTC SMS

Go to registry,

HKLM\Software\Jataayu\Messaging\MaxRecipients

Change from 10 to 99 **

Does anyone know if there is a registry edit similar to this that could be set for the S3?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] 1SiK1500:
bump for answer?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] ir6ub9:
I feel your pain. I switched from an HTC EVo 3D where the standard is 40 contacts per SMS group and seems to be the standard for all shift and LTE versions as well. For the life of me I cannot figure this out. 2 main files I found are:

/system/csc/feature.xml file

edit line (thanks freeza):

<CscFeature_Message_RecipientLimit>10</CscFeature_Message_RecipientLimit>

the other is inside the SecMms.apk file itself (must decomplile):

res>xml>mms_config.xml

edit line:

"<int name="recipientLimit">10</int>"

messed areound with both and still get the "10 contact avaialble only" error.

So if HTC can? do it why can't Samsung?

---------- Post added at 08:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:27 PM ----------

Android does not have a registry so this will only work on windows based phones. Android needs an option in the menu for this as well as same thread for group sms.

As I continue to struggle with poor 3g service on my SIII in the (614) area a thought came to mind " WE ARE PAYING FOR PREMIUM DATA" and we are getting 3g service..mmmmm

And yes I know what you are saying " we knew from the beginning that the SIII only had 3g for now" BUT WE ARE PAYING FOR PREMIUM DATA! and yet we still bought it. So should Sprint issue a small credit our way? I THINK SO...won't happened but I THINK SO..

Your dumb. I just left sprint and am paying $45 a month with no contract getting 4 mb down when I could barely get half a meg download in this area with sprint. With unlimited minutes and text gsm style with straight talk. You know what I'm still not happy. Gonna get a phone that supports both t-mobile and at&t 4g so I always have a choice. Let sprint worry about selling 20 billion dollars worth of iPhones while I get a better deal with my service.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kryptoniteman:
Right behind you. Sprint is ripping people off. I will be switching to verizon hopefully as soon as someone confirms the S3 world capabilities with a sim swap. I pay way too much to not be use my data

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Cicatrize:
I was dumb for two years on Sprint after the premium data thing, getting an Evo 4G and Evo 3D, neither of which had 4G WiMax in my area, and slow ass 3G speeds of about 1mbit on a good day.

I have an HTC Thunderbolt on VZW at work and I have LTE in my city. Getting upwards of 20mbit down on that, and 2mbit+ on 3G, and we get 22% discount for personal lines from my job for VZW...so yeah...the day my GS3 comes in for VZW, I'll be dropping Sprint (finally). I've had it with all these empty promises. I'll pay an extra couple bucks a month for good service and limit 5GB data.

I considered TMobile and AT&T but neither of them have 4G here. I don't think they even have fauxG.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dishun71:
Yep,that's why i just switched to Verizon!!! Tired of sprints Bullsh*t.

Its too bad that Boost mobile has such poor coverage and the same goes for the Walmart brand and Virgin so my hope is that Boost gets their act together and give them a try. At&t, T-mobile and Verizon are over priced so our options are few.

Looks like TMo has a good deal right now with unlimited minutes & text with 5GB data for $95/mo. The main problem I have with TMo though is that they throttle you after your cap. I'd rather be charged $10 and continue to dl at ridiculous speeds.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalblaster:

Its been no secret that build out is not complete in those areas with scheduled completion being late 2012 early 2013.. .

A lot of folks are confusing the word 4G for Wimax.

There's 4G WiMax

and there's 4G LTE.

Anyway, yes GS3 should have been both WiMax and LTE compatible.

My Nexus S 4G had better 4G than this GS3, because it was WiMax.

Switching from Sprint to Verizon in December when the Christmas deals roll around. =D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] The Root:
I was just joking because we all would have loved for this phone to release with all LTE markets active, but we knew it'd be a wait. Can't get everything sometimes.

Btw, those who want both WiMax chips and LTE chips, it would delay software updates immensely as drivers and modems would have to be written for both and they would have had to write in controls for switching between.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hayzooos:
Thank you for stating this. It's not a real viable solution to include both Wimax and LTE chips on a single phone. Delays would've been up, cost would've been up, it's just not worth it.
