I installed the update and rooted my phone. Everything worked perfectly fine. Then I installed Frosty's v11.2.1 ROM. I keep getting this error: "Unfortunately the process com.android.phone has stopped", I tried data/factory reset, cache and dalvik wipe but the issue is still there. Is there a way to fix this? Thanks!

JB - what extra functionallity did we gain from update?

JB seems perkier. but there is little else I've noticed as for new features. No additional apps and or widgets.

Aren't we supposed to get split screen viewing ?

This update has fixed my problem with Kies. Kies used to fail the backup if you had Network settings selected. This has been fixed with JB.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dakunclear:
The big changes are expandable notifications of course more smoothness and resizable video viewing when you are watching videos while typing emails and what not and being able to pause your video recording and there is a blocking mode so you make it so only the people you allow can reach you while your sleeping for instance

So I have the Tmo-based ROM, and the phone just refuses to connect to Kies. Anyway to get the update without Kies?

Ok, I get a "cannot start service on device", and the phone doesn't have any Samsung Kies app. Any idea how to get it?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] htc fan89:
so, your running a custom rom, ota does not work with custom roms. so, you have to odin back to stock rom for odin to work. But, kies should sync with your phone even if your not stock, just kies wouldn't recognize the firmware....
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] arahman71:
Anyway, went Nuclear, installed the stock 4.0.4 ROM, and then installed the 4.1.1 ROM, Had to deal with resetting recovery, but that's done, and apps reinstalled. All in all, quite trouble, but at least done.

This as far as I know is the recommended method.

I posted in his thread about this issue and haven't seen a response yet. If I find a fix I will let you know, please do the same if you happen to figure it out. I love frosty so much but of course would also like the newer baseband.

Using the old baseband (T999VVLLH2) I don't have any issues.

How To Root on VLDLL1

I have gone back to the stock newly updated Rom from Samsung 4.1.1.

My question is how do I root it and put CWM back on. It seems like the phone wont take root anymore.

Do I have to inject a preRootted Stock rom now?

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] illmatic77:
Yes as long as its the same model ( T999v)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cLogic:
once on stock 4.0.4 LH2, you can do the OTA on the phone to JB 4.1.1 LL1

re-installing root & recovery thru odin ... then restoring apps using Titanium .. .breeze :)

frosty is based on the tmobile LJA baseband ... our upgrade puts us to LL1 (higher)

altho I love frosty too ... it, and all other current tmobile roms, are a downgrade for us.. and potiential prob if they include tmobile secphone and other operational services that tmobile has "modified"

we would lose native tethering, samsung premium 4.1.1 upgrade, etc

we have expandable notifications, blocking mode, page buddy, lockscreen facebook ticker, camera enhancements, etc

this is normal ... 3G mode saves battery ... it doesnt switch to H+ (HSPDA) until it is given a task that actually uses the data stream

Thanks for the information. Not sure what to do next then. I guess I could learn the basic under the hood stuff and try to do the basic performance increases like deoxing and stripping out the bloatware and try and get some t999v ROM love going. That being said there is so many extremely talented people working on stuff for the T999, I would hate to lose them as resource if we can no longer use their roms.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] adiprince1:
I was waiting for offline voice typing. I see English is already installed in the language pack. However, it didn't work. Phone has to be connected with the google for voice typing. Other wise it says cannot connect to the server
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cLogic:
deodexing is not a performance increase... in fact its the opposite.

apps are odexed by default in stock.. optimized dex (class) ... smaller, faster

the devs de-odex to be able to modify them.. think of it as de-compiling to get to the source

they COULD re-odex them after, but then future mods and tweaks couldnt be done

I have already used TWRP recovery to create full nandroid backup of the stock T999V LL1 stock rom, rooted

and I have used Titanium backup to Freeze certain system apps, completely removed other ones ... effectively de-bloating

S-Memo, S-Voice, samsung cloud adapters, sysscope, etc ... buh-bye :D

this already reduces the amount of stuff running in memory in background that I dont need, and makes the phone faster :)

you can still use custom roms, but personally, at this point, it is a matter of what do you get, versus what do you lose

if you dont need tethering ... or some of the other stuff that is native and fully functional in our version .. go ahead and use their roms

yes ... they have some build.prop tweaks and such that make it more buttery, better battery, etc

if you want those ... then you could install their rom and copy the build.prop and then revert back and modify our build.prop as you like

that is what I might do ... not sure yet

as far as themes go ... I dont think you can install those cuz we are not deodexed ... but not sure on that one

obviously there is something different about our secphone ... or maybe it was simply not flashed perfectly ... hard to tell

I am going to open some communication with dj, if possible, to see if I can get frosty, or at least frosty tweaks, into My rom

will keep advised ... or ... use pm's

btw ... if you have not tried Page Buddy yet ... do so! I LIKE IT! :good:

it creates a completely separate desktop page that you can add apps and widgets to ... see attachment

that ONLY appears when the headset is plugged in !! awesome!

the page disappears when un-plugged, comes back as you designed when re-plugged :)

this is part of the Samsung premium upgrade from the Note 2

if I DO install a custom rom ... this is one part I will definitely attempt to install from titanium

if I cannot install it onto a custom rom ... then those custom roms are obsolete, imho
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cLogic:
you have Google voice typing set to Automatic languages ... this requires the server

turn off Automatic and manually select the languages that you want (must be installed)

then it will work offline :D

note... this seems to only work with the (included) samsung keyboard

I have installed the latest Swype beta (love it!) but they have not yet updated it to work with the new "Google voice typing" add-on

so it still tries to use the Google voice servers ... but they will prolly update this eventually

enjoy :)

Wind issues

So I seem to have a bunch of issues that seem to be interconnected and was wondering if its a bad sim? let me know what you guys think...(ps: although I hate to admit it, I'm a nooooob). To that end. I have a stock GS3 with stock wind ROM and unrooted.

Problem 1:

I live in Mississauga/Milton/Oshawa (I move around a lot) and I have seem to connect to the H+ network BUT , I'm not even sure if the H+ network extends to any other place other than downtown Toronto. I checked (http://www.coveragemapper.com/windmap.php) and selected hsdpa+ to see if I should have coverage and theoretically I should...buuut wasnt sure so can anyone else confirm if they are getting H+ symbol in other places other than downtown Toronto?

Problem 2 (Related to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1816559&page=2) :

When I was on the away network, I noticed that I couldn't send/recieve text msgs or make calls. I called wind support and they said everything looks ok on our system. When I try and connect manually to the away network (which takes FOREVER mind you, probably because it's timing out) it cant connect. I read in a forum that The SMSC # may be incorrect and that post said that I should type *#*#4636#*#* to change the smsc number to Winds number. I type that and get nothing, as in I end up staring at what I entered and no other menu or option comes up. Anybody else on Wind get that?

I've tried a hard reboot with the SIM card and battery taken out for 10 seconds (At winds suggestion) but that didn't solve it. I'm beginning to think my sim card may be a little wonky and I may have to go into a store to get this resolved...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dakunclear:
Are you on wind pay before or pay after account cause of your on pay after you should be okay but if you're on pay before you need to have extra money on the account before you can make calls or texts on wind away zones also not that you can top up our check your balance online or by typing *123#

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dakunclear:
My only suggestion since I can't find the modem you are looking for is to install stock Rom back on your phone just look for a videotron Rom since they have the same stock roms as wind does

But wait a bit longer and when I'm off work I'll see what I can find I'll dig a bit deeper for you

I am on Pay After.. I was able to do it before the switch AND according to wind, roaming is enabled on my account..
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] saffire:
So I went to wind and here is what they told me:

1) only downtown Toronto and a bit of north York has H+ in the gta

2) They locked down *#*#4636#*#* so users wouldn't be able to play and mess their phone up

3) they locked roaming such that you can't not roam within the wind zone. this is to avoid connecting and getting charged while in a wind zone

Not entirely sure I believe the last two..can anyone confirm?

have you tried this:

- disconnect phone from pc

- in kies, run the Troubleshoot Connection which reinstalls all drivers

- reboot pc

- turn on usb debugging in phone (just cuz)

- plug phone in and don't touch anything until windoze installs all hardware.. usb modem, sgh-t999v, adb

you should be able to see your phone in My Computer

if you don't, usually unplugging and replugging firmly will eventually work

if you can see your phone in My Computer, then you can transfer files to and from

personally, I only plug in to use Odin or kies

for file transfer.. I have shared My pc on the wifi lan in My house.. and use ES File Explorer to connect directly to My pc over wifi and take advantage of the 5GHz band on My router to get 150Mbps speed between phone and pc :D

Your issue sounds like the same problem I am having on Win7x64. What is the error Windows reports.

On my S3 I get Hardware ID error quite frequently but have a few work arounds. switch MTP to PTP in Notification pull down and then back again after several seconds. The one that works best for me is switching USB ports.

I am pretty sure this is a timing bug in Sam's USB driver because switching to PTP works 100% of the time and I can access the phone and SD cards file system.

If it does not work I reboot and switching the USB port will usually work.

You mentioned a regedit work around can you please describe this.

it definitely works.. same as how those with LTE only see that indicator when the mode kicks in.. if it didn't work that way you would burn battery real quick constantly searching for best + stream

My post in chat with Juan was saying that what works is that the phone really is using less battery while indicator says 3G, than when it receives a task that kicks in the HSPA+ and switches the indicator to H+ .. lol

yes, I saw that the higher the level of Microsoft technology, the lower the success of connecting with the phone

sounds like something changed with kies and/or the drivers it downloads, since it updated recently

after having kies download drivers.. have you tried:

kill all kies related processes (not applications) in windows task manager

plug the phone in, don't do anything until it registers all "new hardware".. including adb

if phone doesn't show up in Windows explorer, run Odin and see if it sees the com port, then unplug and replug

I recently helped a friend and his Windows 7 machine would see the phone in explorer.. and Odin.. but failed to connect to adb

we must have rebooted and repeated 10x

in the end we taught it how to receive a drop kick ;)

and threatened to throw it out the window

and left it alone for 20 mins

and then tried again.. and it worked!

Hey everyone

I am thinking about getting the S3 from Wind since now it's only $199 with a Windtab and $40 Unlimited is pretty sweet.

I have a few questions that I'd appreciate some answers to a lot.

1. What's the difference between the Wind S3 and S3 from other carriers ? Is it unlockable ? Could I sell it later to users that don't have Wind ? ( i.e Rogers, Telus, Fido etc )

2. Hows the signal with Wind nowadays ? Especially Indoors and in the GTA and Durham .

3. Disadvantage of going to Wind ?

Thanks all !
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dakunclear:
1.the wind mobile version isn't lte but it is unlockable and it will work on all other carries

2.signal is great but check out the coverage map to make sure Durham is covered they are always upgrading so it will get better

3.not LTE but that's minor considering LTE at the moment isn't much faster then hspa+ and not as great of coverage as the big 3 but the biggest advantage is you pay half the price for your plan and that makes up for their cons lol
