[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aloniado:
hi,

I recently rooted my galaxy s3 with Odin, and installed a moded Rom.

today, I decided to go back to the stock rom, and restored my phone with a backup I made before installing this Rom.

-will the firmware update automatically in a rooted phone?

-my build number is I9300XXALE8. Should I update to a newer one? (androidromupdate[dot]com).

-can I do it withput Odin? (through the update/restore page)?

sorry if these questions were already answered...

and thank in advance. (:

Alon.

My cousin give me an I9003, cause he bought a new phone. I upgrade the rom to XXKPE and then to XXKPQ, wipe data/cache and everything works fine, but when I start the phone, old data still there, accounts, software, etc. So, I do it everything again with .pit (3x just in case). I do an adb wipe all, wipe data, but everything keeps in there laughing at me :eek:

I downgrade it with old roms, format internal sdcard with CWM, with standard recovery, I really don't know what more to do. Every help will be thankful.

:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] allxx:
I have the same problem. My friednd gave me an i9003. Wipe is not working at all, even from Recovery. I connect the phone to PC and use the internal card, no matter what I do, changes don't apply. I copy/paste/delete/format/even odin flash, no good. Everything comes back as before reboot. What is it related to?

I used to have an i9000, but nothing applies to i9003. I flashed i9000 1000 times and at last got a mmcblk2 error, fixed it with external sd swap. I'm thinking of swapping emmc with sd on this one too, but cant install a rom from CWM (I can install install CWM from ODIN though and can flash CFROOT too). In CWM internal storage can't be mounted... Motherboard problem?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] petmon:
Have you follow the procedure in this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1894737 or try other stock roms? I have no problem in erasing the old data.

Anybody got ideas why this price drop?($150 less than the international version)
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] kulzboy:
We handle our currency differently than Europe. Our dollars are less than euros so it translates to more money to import it.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] r3a1ist:
He said selling for less not more. we have different hardware and therefore different costs for one. second the phone is well into production now. where did you find the us version for 500? also the t-mobile version has the same chipset as the skyrocket that sells for 330. the us s3 is overpriced and i expect sudden drastic price drops. Its being subsidized for 150 + contract for a reason.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] cwalker0906:
this info is inaccurate. the skyrocket has s3 chip and tmobile sg3 has s4 chip
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] r3a1ist:
Msm8260 right? or msm8260a. they clock close. do you think the t mobile s3 radio/ modem may work on the skyrocket?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] cwalker0906:
they are two completely different chips based on different. technology. if anyone is confused go to qualcomm website. the only difference. between the s4 chips including the 8260a is the modem chip. as far as flashing those modems i dont know... try it and find out just have odin ready
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] r3a1ist:
Interesting, im going to continue looking into it. Wonder why theyre using the same model number. Doesnt the t-mobile version clock less? I have the 747 and the 727 skyrocket in front of me. The skyrocket benches 3600 quadrant and 6000 astute. Not sure if these similar scores to the t-mobile variant are due to different resolution. Skyrocket is Qualcomm 1.5 dual core.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] cwalker0906:
if your talking the tmobile gs2 it is the same as skyrocket a snapdragon s3 chip. the tmobile gs3 is a completely. different snapdragon s4 chip. which i get about 5000 on quadrent both chips are clocked at 1.5 but the s4 chip uses a newer technology. which makes it faster and more efficient
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] RevenG:
The T-Mobile, Verizon and AT&T GSIIIs are not using the MSM8260a. They use the MSM8960 Krait chipset. I am unsure of the Sprint because I can't find the specs. I am pretty sure it utilized the MSM8960 as well. The MSM8960 has been shown to keep up with the current Quad-Core processors. Mainly, the Nvidia Tegra 3 chipset. If you do a Vellamo benchmark, you will see that it scores very close to the HTC One XL which uses the same chipset and beats the One X which is Quad. The GSII 4G and Skyrocket both had the MSM8260 Scorpion chipset. S4 stands for nothing more than Series 4.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] cwalker0906:
the msm8260a is the hspa+ version of the s4. the MSM8960. js the lte verion of the s4

Hello guys, I am currently located in the Caribbean (Dominican Republic) and will be traveling next month to the US.

A Galaxy Nexus in Venezuela.

Hi you all, I hope someone reads this or something. I'm new around here. Even though I don't think so, I hope not to be breaking any rule by posting in this particular thread.

I'm about to buy a Nexus and have it shipped to Venezuela, let's see how that goes.

Oscar, I travel every year to the DR and this year it would be for christmas.

This time I want to be able to use a SIM Card and have data over there.

I have looked for them on the web, but with no success, so I found this and I was wondering if you could provide me with the bands of the carriers operating in the country: Orange, Viva and Claro.

And some additional information about the quality in the service of each one of them.

You can PM me if you want to.

Well, hopefully you'll reply jajajajaja :fingers-crossed:

Bye everyone.

I charge my galaxy s3 AT&T version to 100%, about 5 seconds later it drops to 99%. With light use such as email, texting and a couple web pages it's down to 60-70 pretty fast but when it get's to around 60% it seems like it takes forever to start going down.

I'm coming from an iPhone 4S and seems both devices have different battery management. My iPhone wouldn't drop down from 100% very fast but when it reached 40-50 it would start to drop as my galaxy does from 100-70.

GPS, Bluetooth, Motion, etc is all turned off - Any suggestions?

Thanks
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] dasistsparta:
Turn auto synchronization off.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] creedicd:
Couple of things to consider, 1. When the phone charges it will alternate between charging and not when it reaches capacity. While the percentage will show 100%, in reality it is something less. So when you unplug it appears to quickly drop. 2. What's your signal strength like? Low signal will cause a rapid drain on the battery. Utilize wifi if possible. 3. It could also be a rouge app. Some apps can prevent the phone from sleeping and cause unnecessary power consumption... Use better battery status app to find the culprit.

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] jasonxlee01:
Is there a difference from removing the entire reticle compared to just deleting the PNGs? Just wondering.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] burkett375:
There's an underlying smali edit that will remove the functionality, and is the "right" way of doing it (at least that's how it was on the Thunderbolt). Also, the PNGs were hidden somewhere in the Thunderbolt, so it wasn't this easy. The result is the same and doesn't really matter to the end user, though.

There is a slight difference in that removing the image still causes it to take up space on the notification bar but I imagine with a 720p wide screen you're not terribly crunched for space there.

I tried this and it froze up. I just moved the file into the app file in root explorer, but my phone froze up and on reboot, I had to re-flash the ROM.

Any advice on what I am doing wrong?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] SQFreak:
When I overwrote SystemUI.apk, it succeeded, then everything froze for a few seconds. When it came back to life, I slowly, and after a few more crashes of System UI, got the device to reboot. On reboot, I got the Samsung logo with the unlocked padlock icon and the word "Custom" below it. When the phone booted back up, everything seems to be working with the location reticle gone. Subsequent reboots have not had the unlocked padlock or the "Custom." I booted the phone into Odin mode and got the following:

[COLOR="Red"]ODIN MODE[/COLOR]
PRODUCT NAME: SCH-I535
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: No
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official

[HTC One X] Starky09:
Hi,

since flashing to a new version (14 or 15) of TripNRavers CM9 a few weeks ago I barely can connect to any Wi-Fi around. Most of the time it's only possible when I'm standing right next to the router. I read that HTC stated that some of their devices are affected, but my first weeks with my HOX it just worked fine. Could it have anything to do with the boot.img or CM9?

Thanks in advance!

Check out the wifi issue thread in the general section and carry out the test recommended as in pressing the back. It could also be kernel related as wifi drivers are implemented into the kernel.

Hi, I didn't want to start a new thread and didn't want to post in the development forums, but I was wondering how does one do a full wipe?

I really don't want to threadjack either, but just thought that seeing as how this was a recent thread maybe someone could shoot me a quick answer...

I found this:

2. Reboot your phone into ClockworkMod Recovery (CWM)

3. In CWM "Wipe data/factory reset"

4. In CWM "Wipe Cache Partition"

5. Go To "Advance"

6. Select "Wipe Dalvik Cache"

7. Go To "Mounts And Storage"

8. Select "Mount System"

9. Then Select "Wipe System"

from this thread, and was wondering if all these steps are what one means by a full wipe, or just some of them~ and, if just some of the steps, which ones?

TIA
[Huawei Ideos X6] ypkonline:
Issue resolved ..

- Did a full wipe and installed sharp rom using SUTL

- Replaced recovery.img in download mode

- flashed AOKP ICS 8.0

-Flashed CK Kernel

On this setup for last 12 hours without any issues till now ..

Thanks again for this forum and all your help
[Huawei Ideos X6] paarkhi:
You don't need point 8, rest everything follow to fully wipe
[Huawei Ideos X6] CacingKalung:
If you do step 3, no need step 4 and 6. Dalvik cache is in data partition and doing step 3 will also followed by wiping cache partition automatically by CWM.

And I never do step 7, 8 and 9. When we flash a rom, system partition usually been wiped by the script, except some roms which intended for upgrade.

I installed paranoidndroid rom ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1663755 ) on sd via magldr and neither wifi nor data connection was working (i have tried all versions) but the rom is pretty good to be close to everyday use.

I fixed the wifi replacing the attached file (fw_bcm4329.bin) from this thread

I tried the data fix on the paranoidandroid thread but its not working... i think its only for those using cLk.

But the data connection is still not working. there is another file fw_bcm4329_apsta.bin in the folder.

If you are Haret user it could be 1.5a version where i encountered the same problem which later reported to build developers . the issue was RMNET to PPP update. the fix is here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26923572&postcount=2 . there are no such problems with data and wifi in 1.5b. if you want to stick to 1.5a, after downloading the fix you must unzip the file and put meta and system folders into your SD build's root folder and reboot the phone. the build will update and should be fine

Hint for problem with data connection:

Sometimes when it's not working you have to:

1. Go to setting and disable data connection

2. Reboot

3. Enable data connection

[Motorola Droid Bionic] Underwater Mike:
Got some questions on the new webtop. (I'm running the 6.7.232 leak.)

I know that the old linux layer is gone, but I am having a terrible time trying to figure out the new implementation. For example, attached is a copy of my main phone screen:

When I switch to webtop, even though I am using the "shrink" mode, my desktop looks all funky:

It even selects its own wallpaper from another file on the device, adds extra folder icons (green rectangle), and deforms the widgets (yellow rectangle). I tried deleting the extra folders and resizing the widget, but then when I undock the Bionic, everything on my phone layout is borked.

(BTW, the webtop screen grab is clipped because I can't figure out how to do a capture natively, and the app I'm using appears not to like the dimensions of the webtop desktop.)

Initially, I was all excited about not having memory errors, etc., on the new webtop. Now, though, it seems both frustrating to use and nearly useless. About the only benefit I get out of it is a bigger screen for Firefox and Netflix.

Can anyone tell me (1) how to fix this fugly mess, and (2) how to take a screenshot in webtop mode?

Thanks.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] dellenrules:
Are you using anything other than the stock launcher on your phone.

I noticed that webtop with APEX and NOVA launcher isn't exactly pretty.

webtop mode is an all new layout for your device. In short. changing stuff on your phone's home screen doesn't affect your webtop's and vice-versa.

That is assuming that your using the stock launcher of course. Just re-select your phone background for the webtop mode and add/adjust the icons to suit your needs. It doesn't affect the icons in phone mode.

You get a 7x6 grid on your desktop with some space to the right and left for switching between screens. the space is equivalent to about 1 icon.

As far as screenshots go. I only know of one way. The print screen button on a keyboard that has it. Takes a screenshot perfectly.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cobaltlantern:
You can screencap in webtop the same as in phone. Just hit power and volume down on the phone and it will work no problem.

Incidentally, I went back to the stock launcher because I was also annoyed at the weird desktop stuff, and in so doing found the key difference between .2233 and .230: the stock weather widget has been fixed (for me it would spin but never display weather).
