[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ajd88:
Second day owning this device and love it so far, but day two has been rough. I am stuck on 3g. All of a sudden today my lte switched and will not go back. Iv'e rebooted, toggled airplane mode and data. Even pulled the sim. I live in a strong 4g area so that is not the problem. My buddy has a nexus and his is fine. I also have had great reception in areas I have always had problems, so not a reception issue. I called verizon and was told it is a know issue that is normally solved with a reboot. She said an update was scheduled for early September to fix the issue. The point of this thread is to find out if anyone else has had this problem, or found a solution.

Edit: After countless toggling I got it back to 4g, but it won't connect to the network. So my thought is that the sim card is trashed. Going to get a new sim card first thing in the morning.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] d69oh:
I don't have the exact problem i did notice mine switches from lte to 3g all the time and it stays 3g until i change it back and reboot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] turbosrrgood:
Unfortunately I am also finding myself stuck in 3g. I have pulled the battery, installed a new ROM. Still working on it, not thrilled. Prior to 4g disappearing, it showed 4g, however I was unable to connect over it. I hope this isn't a hardware issue.

Did this work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Lexus One:
Just FYI, I have the SCH-i535 and am noticing similar behavior. I had a Samsung Droid Charge before the SGS3, and it stayed locked to 4G LTE in the same exact areas of my home. If my Charge did happen to drop 4G, it would always come back. But not with my SCH-i535. Once 4G drops it stays on 3G until I reboot the phone. So far, this is my only complaint about this phone. :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ajd88:
It is very random for me. Im certain its a **** sim card. Right now its fine, but at any time it may get stuck on 3g. Also while at work the first couple of days it would hold a decent 3g signal, now its primarily on 1x. Once i replace the sim card I am hopeful for it to be fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Lexus One:
I thought Verizon said that this was a known issue? I'm just curious as to why you would disagree. But if a new SIM does happen to fix the problem, please let us know.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mds96:
Just a heads up! I have the same issue, but I can't get 4g back at all, which I thought stemmed from flashing CM9, but this thread is making me wonder now! I spent an hour on the phone with Verizon technical support and they said you will get a popup if the sim is the issue. They told me its the phone and they are sending me a new one. FYI you can try this code. *2767*3855# in the dialer to factory reset the phone ( can do the same in recovery ofcourse), but you HAVE to be running STOCK UNROOTED! Some people have had luck with this "resetting" the radio I guess. If this doesnt work, might as well call them and get a new phone coming. TRUST ME, I believe I did everything I could think of before calling them, except taking the phone apart and pulling a new radio out of my ass!! Lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Cappurnikus:
I'd just return the phone and get a new one if possible.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ajd88:
They did tell me it was known issue. Its just weird how random it is. I am hopeful it is either the sim card of a software issue. I hope it is not a hardware issue. I would rather not have my phone replaced as I just put a new screen protector on. Also to those getting a replacement, is it brand new or a certified like new device?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Lexus One:
I did read in another forum that the replacement phones are coming out with a baseband update. I'm guessing that we will probably need to exchange our phones...or be patient for the OTA. Hopefully it won't be too much longer. Incidentally, I just did a factory reset and 4G now appears to be working. Time will tell...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] turbosrrgood:
I also flashed CM9, and I am fairly certain this was the cause of my problems. Nothing I did would make 4G work again.

Other 4G VZW devices seemed to work fine at the same time(I have an ipad3 for work, POS).

I didn't mess with it for a couple of hours while running errands, then all of the sudden it was working again. Been fine ever since as far as I can tell. It would be nice to know what exactly is causing this, but for now I'd caution against messing with cm9 .
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bpdamas:
Okay, first, I have tried googling and came up with no answers. Second, I tried looking through xda and came up with no answers. The closest thread I found anywhere was here. Here is my situation.

I have the EVO 4G LTE and I am running stock and rooted. Over last weekend I became s-off. So, now I am s-off with a stock recovery and would like to install the OTA update that is out. Please don't tell me not to in this thread and just wait for a rooted ROM and the like. I know the risks involved and what potentially could happen.

Ultimately, when I try to apply it I get the red triangle. When I hold the volume up and power on it goes into the stock recovery and here is what it says.

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Verifying update package...

Installing update...

Copying to fotaBoot to /data/system for customize reload...

Verifying current system...

assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/app/SoundHound_Freemium.odex","66f464f0ac1689b294f72c9006532b66195ca2ae", "798feb0102e51071f4634f784b740e168507f4")

E:Error in /internal_sdcard/Download/OTA_Jewel_CL_ICS_40_Sprint_WWE_1.22.651.3-1.13.651.1_release_268385t21cg6sjfe2o8g14.zip

(Status 7)

Installation aborted.

So, what this tells me is that soundhound is preventing me from installing the update. I didn't even have soundhound installed when I tried the update. Also, I looked with root explorer under /system/app and there was nothing listed for soundhound or the like. I thought just deleting the file would maybe solve my problem. I also tried installing it from the market. I think I must have accidentally restored this file from a different backup on accident and don't have that backup anymore.

So, this leaves me to my quandary. What can I do to install the OTA? Does anyone have any thoughts or insight? Thanks in advance. :confused:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bpdamas:
Okay, I have tried this as well. I flashed the most current TWRP recovery and wiped cache and dalvik cache. Then I flashed a stock recovery and tried the update again. I received the same error as last time with the stupid soundhound.odex file. Does anyone have a soundhound free file with the apk and odex file? I figure if I had that I could place it in the proper location with root explorer or adb install it to get the update to apply. Still, any thoughts could be helpful.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] luigi311:
It might be a way for HTC to prevent rooted phones to update as how u explained it soundhound isn't installed but when u purchase this phone it comes with sound hound preinstalled into system directory which u cannot uninstall without root privlages
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bpdamas:
I appreciate the input. I guess I forgot that soundhound comes preinstalled on the phone. I just checked the RUU and looked at the rom and you are right. It is there. So, now I have the .apk and .odex files from the stock rom. My question is now how do I install it so that it looks like it was there from the beginning as a system file?

Thanks again for reminding me it came with the phone. I feel I am closer to being able to install the update.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bpdamas:
DONE AND DONE!!!!

First thing is that I changed the title because it was not SoundHound's fault at all. It was my idiot self that uninstalled a system app. I don't remember doing that but I won't deny that somehow I did.

Now to the meat of how I solved this.

I got the correct system files (both .apk and .odex) and placed them on my sd card

I mounted /system/media as r/w with root explorer and copied both files into the /system/media directory (must do this first before putting them into /system/app)

I changed the permissions to rw-r--r-- as were all the other apps in the /system/app directory

I copied both files over to /system/app

I rebooted the phone

Once the phone rebooted I updated the app in question and opened it

I rebooted again just to be safe

Then I downloaded and installed the update

SUCCESS!!!!!

Anyway, just wanted to share for everyone in case you run into a similar problem when trying to update. Reach out to me if you need any help with any of the steps. Thanks to such great people and developers on xda.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] greyopaque:
Some threads are saying that even if you're S-Off, the new HBOOT won't let you flash Superuser and TWRP. Were you able to reroot?

For various reasons, I'd like to just take the OTA and reflash SU and TWRP (I'm S-Off, rooted, stock recovery right now).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bpdamas:
I was able to reroot. However, first I had to install the lazy panda hboot and flash TWRP through fastboot usb. I then flashed a su zip once I booted into TWRP. Hope this helps. I am trying to make a new thread for this right now.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] browning:
I had the same issue but with a different problem. I had rewritten my build.prop to incorporate the application associations as they should be (thanks Crapple!). As a result, the OTA was failing to install. Volume UP + Power showed me the error. Restored the original build.prop I had backed up and OTA fired off. A few more steps and I'll have your S-OFF OTA rebuild complete. Thanks!
[General Topics] Bagbug:
Can someone explain me how many private business on the web can sell unlock codes generate by a computer almost instantly simply from a website request ?

What do they have that devs from xda dont have ?
[General Topics] gagdude:
First of all, those unlock codes are NEVER instant. If they say they will deliver instantly, they are lying. A couple hours at the least is how long they'll send you a code.

Second, any legit SIM unlocking place has some sort of license from whatever carrier the phones they unlock is locked to. (((((((They rely the carriers for unlock codes.)))))))

I don't really trust the sites, they seem very fishy, but if you go to a local cell shop, they will have a poster saying something like "official tmobile seller," so they can unlock any tmobile phone. eBay sellers will also have something like this on their listing.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dan Harkless:
I've seen some good guides online. Again, Google is your friend. If you can find a guide specific to your device, that'll be the most helpful, but one covering devices from your manufacturer would be a good second choice. May be dangerous to your phone's continued operation if you try using a guide that isn't specific enough to your device.

I'm currently using AOKP build 40 and I want Jelly Bean 4.1.1, do I have to flash 4.0.4 ICS and then download Jelly Bean from there, or can I go straight to Jelly Bean?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
If you want to stick with the custom AOKP ROM, follow their instructions. Some recommend wipes others don't.

If you want to go to STOCK 4.1.1, you need to flash stock 4.1 then apply the update manually. There's no factory images for 4.1.1 yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dsan224:
I already backed everything up and wiped my phone lol, I was planning on going back to 4.0.4 first but it said there was an error when I tried to flash it from CWM. Since I already wiped everything should I just flash 4.1 then? And if so is it gonna be any different from the 4.1 from the OTA update?

EDIT: Apparently from this link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1764536 I need to be on 4.0.4 first, where can I find a link to download 4.0.4?

Thank you fooman! I already flashed an AXI0M engage 4.1 jelly bean though lol, do you think it will be the same thing as jelly bean from the OTA update, or should I just leave it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PipeHitter:
You can follow efrant's most excellent guide to return to official 4.0.4. The guide contains all the links you will need.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Drewmungus:
Only if you want to stay stock does any of that apply. If you find a custom rom that is 4.1.1 just follow the instuctions in that thread. All it is is just pretty much flashing a different rom, nothing too different.

[HD2 General] Ganderdnaw:
Hi folks!

My HTC HD2 running on NexusHD2 ICS w/ HWA v.2.4 nand. My issue is that the phone has a random reboot issue. It won't fully boot into the OS.

Here are my attempts at this which I got from hours of searching through the forums:

1. Reflashed the rom several times.

2. Flashed typhoon gingerbread rom.

3. Task29

4. Reflashed stock rom winmo 6.5 (which still won't boot)

5. I did the fridge test. It boots successfully, but after a couple of minutes of use it goes back into a reboot cycle.

6. I tried booting ICS from SD using magldr.

I read up on bad nand blocks. Could it be that? How can I check and fix this? I also feel that this is a hardware issue (overheating cpu?) experienced by many people. I really hope it isn't because I believe there is not fix around this. Any help would be great. Thanks
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
If the freezer trick worked then yes it is more than likely the CPU overheating and the CPU has started to separate from the BGA matrix which in turn will not let the device boot. If you are skilled enough to try it and feel lucky you can try the the steps in this thread. But if not you will have to replace the mainboard. Sorry to have to tell you bad news.
[HD2 General] Ganderdnaw:
Thanks. I was worried it might be that. I saw that thread before, but that is beyond my capability. I noticed that putting it in the fridge certainly helps, but there are a majority of times that despite the phone being cool it will not boot successfully. Do you know of any other things I might be able to do? Thanks for the help!
[HD2 General] Nigeldg:
Have you checked that the battery pins are connected correctly? If they lose contact (due to being bent out of shape or likewise) the phone won't have any power and obviously will turn off :)
[HD2 General] kalashenicof:
I'm new here, but try to do a clean install a run the phone for a couple of hours/days without install any other application, see if that help

Good luck
[HD2 General] Ganderdnaw:
The battery pin is not bent. I had the random reboot issue before and bending the pin back solved the issue. Unfortunately, it's not that again. :/ I'm thinking of waiting a couple of hours, doing a clean wipe, and flashing another gingerbread rom. Thanks for the suggestions!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jmart21:
Hi, I recently tried installing Jelly Bean using the method below on my Galaxy Nexus (GSM):

Method 1 - CWM recovery installed

1) Download the correct update for your build on to your computer;

2) Open the archive;

3) Delete recovery folder;

4) Go to folder - META-INF/com/google/android

5) Extract updater-script with Winzip

6) Open the extracted updater-script with Notepad++ (NOT regular notepad or wordpad)

7) Remove the line saying: set_perm(0, 0, 0544, "/system/etc/install-recovery.sh");

8) Save and move the new updater-script to the folder in the zip file (META-INF/com/google/android)

9) Copy the zip file to /sdcard on your device;

10) Reboot into CWM;

11) Select "install zip from sdcard";

12) Select "choose zip from sdcard";

13) Select the update the you just copied to your device;

14) Wait until it completes. Reboot. Done.

After the reboot, I am still on 4.0.4. Can anybody please help?

I am on the Yakju build so I downloaded and installed the yakju IMM76I from IMM76D file. After I perform a restart my CWM app doesn't work anymore eventhough it does have super user access.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arathur:
Like many of you others out there, the past few days, I've been flashing all different kinds of Jelly Beans on my GSM Galaxy Nexus. First, I installed bigxie's 4.1 (v1 and v2), then I installed bigxie's 4.1.1 (AOSP). It might be important to mention that my Gnex is originally a yakju and obviously all these versions of JB are for takju, so my phone has essentially been "converted." Later I reflashed the stock 4.1 from the I/O and then installed the official Google .zip file (from xda) that updates from the I/O 4.1 to 4.1.1. After doing this, I noticed this morning that my kernel version was different from others who had just installed 4.1.1 via OTA with the System Updates. So this afternoon I used the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit v7.4 to download and flash the Google factory ICS 4.0.4 image, which obviously deleted everything from the phone. Then I turned wifi on and went to System Update and it was already downloading the Jelly Bean official update, as pictured below:

View attachment 1194468

After installing the above update, I checked the phone's info section and I still had a different kernel version than everyone else, as see below:

View attachment 1194471

While I have kernel 3.0.31-ge8de0e2, it seems like other people have 3.0.31-g6fb96c9. As mentioned before, I had to resort to going back to stock, vanilla 4.0.4, then downloading/installing the update and I still don't have this newer kernel. What is different about this kernel and why is my phone unable to get it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Unlawful:
I have that build of the kernel (g6fb96cp), it really shouldn't matter which one you have.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arathur:
Something strange just happened to my phone.

After doing some searching online, it seems that the 3.0.31-ge8de0e2 kernel is the same one that comes with the developer preview of JB 4.1 from the Google I/O phones. Just now, I downloaded an update for Google+, and when I restarted my phone, I was suddenly magically on the 3.0.31-g6fb96c9.

Is it even possible that a single app update could carry a kernel update as well?!?!?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Unlawful:
Now that I couldn't answer, it's possible but unlikely. All an app has to do is replace boot.img, something that many other kernel apps are capable of (franco.kernel's app, ezekeel's app).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] doug36:
I posted this in the Q&A section, but im posting it here aswell because i do want a response :p

I havent seen this since ICS release for us & im moving on to other projects & calling this release-worthy, themeless atm

I have very little time to sit down working on droid so only theme i got for it uses "borrowed" textures to fit everything & i have no clue as to alot of the sources:p

Basicly my question is simply:

1.) Should i release a (true) multi dpi dialer for ICS? (Built from telus but xmls will work on LE1)

If so:

Should it be modded?

(no rotation, transparent, themed, etc)

If so what would you like to see most?

Any opinions would be appreciated.. :)

For theming if someone can get permissions for me to port one, or supply pngs, as i seriusly have no time for texturing.. my cs5 is going to waste the past few months

I attached two screenshots of stock themed apk at 190dpi & 240dpi

This is the TW dialer with true multi dpi

Lets see where this goes...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] grawkiller73:
Really? I appreciate your work and everything, but a multi DPI dialer? Who really cares. Most people don't even use the dialer, lol. Even if they do, who dials so many numbers that they need a smaller DPI?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] doug36:
Lmfao, the stock dialer has alot of benifits tbh and when you set the density lower then 240 the stock dialer gets. This fixed that by remaining the same regardless of dpi, and actuslly more ppl use the stock dialer then u obviously realize

Thx for your input though
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] grawkiller73:
I'm not talking about the stock dialer, I'm talking about the dialer in general. Most people go into their contacts list and find the person they want to dial instead of actually dialing their number. What benefits does a multi DPI dialer have? What are you trying to achieve?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] blackangst:
Or some people go into the dialer and use smart dial :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Tnallen:
+1 this would be nice for not breaking the dialer when you set a low dpi
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Towle:
Interesting.. Mind sharing your sources? I never knew that anyone took statistics of how people dial contacts. I for one have always used the dialer to "smart dial".
