[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pradipsoman:
1) Take the battery, SIM card and the Memory card out

2) After putting the back cover on, wrap the mobile in a plastic bag and then seal it air tight with tape

3) Place it in the freezer for 24 hours

4) Take it out and wait till it comes to room temperature.

5) Open the covering and then put the battery, etc in and turn it on...

Had the same issue when it was carried it on a flight and the above method saved the phone :)

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhi.eternal:
Thanks for the replies guys. I could not check them for the last few days due to some work.

Thanks, will try this out.

Sadly, no :(

Thanks, will try this before trying pradipsoman's suggestion. I just hope there is still time to save my phone!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhi.eternal:
It's fixed! My phone's fixed! The freezer trick worked. I forgot to wrap the phone in a plastic bag though, but still it's fixed now. Thank you so much.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wizkid77:
Thanks man, it works like a charm!!! :victory:
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsnotmeatall:
Thanks a lot man! Method absolutely works. I had a bunch of dots suddenly appear on the screen after my Defy took a fall, so I looked up here found your solution and thought I'd try it. I wrapped the phone up tight, sealed it with tape, put it in a freezer for about 8 hours. Then I took it out, unwrapped it and put it in a jar of rice for about an hour (to take out the moisture.) Then I put the sim card, sd card battery back in and booted up, and viola, dots gone! Has been 3 days and dots haven't reappeared, so the solution seems permanent, too!

Thanks again!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alpha96:
I had the same problem and I tried this method. All the brushlike marks went away but the dark blue dots remained. Is there anything more I could do. Appreciate your help.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhi.eternal:
Try repeating the steps again. I suggest that you do it again tomorrow just to spare the phone from shivering in the extreme cold of your refrigerator for a short while :p
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poken1151:
I've checked the forums and while I see some mentions of ATT configs I don't see much for TMo.

I have a Lumia 710, and a tmobile version Straight Talk sim. I had the sim cut by TMO in order to fit the phone and calling and texts work well. However I can't enable the cellular data. I checked Straight Talks setup info and in Android it's as detailed, but in WP7 it's a lil different(I guess mms and APN are in diff pages).

I tried just setting APN to wap.tracfone and nada. Is there anyone else who is having or has had this issue to give some suggestion? Again, most of what I've found here and elsehwhere are all about using an ATT sim.

EDIT: Not sure if it's necessary to note, but I had to flash the 1600.3031.8773.12121 firmware from australia, no network there just says Australia 227.

EDIT: I also have the the Nokia Network Setup app due to this, but it gives me no options just auto does whatever and says "T-Mobile". The APN settings that have worked for me in the past is to set the APN and port alone, however the APN settings in WP7 want a proxy/url with a port. I've seen this mentioned in another post from April after some more googling, but o replies there also.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rosco385:
After changing my wife's SGS3 from stock to a custom ROM she's having constant SMS sending failures (i.e. Not a single SMS can be sent at any time, from any where. Recieving SMS is fine). No such problems on stock, but on OMEGA v8, Foxhound 1.1, and Blackstar v3 sending SMS fails every time. Apart from that all custom ROM's work perfectly, and all were installed after full wipe/factory reset --> wipe cache --> wipe dalvik.

Any suggestions?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vegeta1:
Have you checked your sms message centre number ??
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rosco385:
Fixed ;)

Thanks vegeta1, that did the trick ;) With helpful replies like that your "Thanks" count will soon be OVER 9000!!!

For anyone else running into the same problem, here's the fix:

Dial *#*#4636#*#*.

Select "Phone Information"

Scroll down until you find "SMSC"

Refresh it.

This should fix the issue, but if refreshing the SMSC doesn;t work you'll have to enter it manually and press "Update". Luckily I could get the correct number from my phone and enter it on my wife's ;)

I have installed slim ics v4.2 on my sgs i9000.....

it is really fast,stable and i liked it very much....

I loved slim ics rom because of its performance,battery life

but i have some queries with

1]

its OTA app...it is not responding..U can also ckeck their official site.....

2]

when i go to Ns settings the error occures application stopped unexpectedly...

3]

i don't like lightning launcher at all...

how to permanently remove it ????

4] Which kernel to use ?????
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nyloncrack:
1. Ota - The other day it took about a minute for it to display, afterwards all features worked fine. Patience.

2. NS Tools - in the app info, try clear data and clear cache.

3. Install another launcher, then freeze (just in case you need it again) or uninstall it.

4. i like semaphore 1.2.6s

btw, if you use semaphore, you can uninstall NS Tools. You use the semaphore app to do all your kernel settings.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] iaditya999:
Thanks for your reply.....:)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] matsam:
I also hate Lightning Launcher, I just use Nova Launcher and uninstall Lightning Launcher from within Titanium Backup.

As for kernels, I usually use Devil3.079, but I find Semaphore 1.2.6s to work better on this particular Slim rom.

hi guys,

couple of days ago I ran a benchmark (Antutu) then once it gave me the results i scrolled down and it gave me the top results of the same device (galaxy ace s5830) what's so interesting is that the phone is overcloked to 1400mhz how the ef is that possible.

yup you are correct :-). its very unfortunate though i was hoping to overclock this phone to 1400mhz :-(.

but I have already overclocked to 980mhz. its not so bad you know, but one thing guys i used to have lg optimus gt540 and originally it runs at 600mhz but i overclocked it to 960mhz.

guess lg is doing a better job than Samsung is. ;-)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Falc0nPuls3:
anyway I guess 960mhz or 80 is gonna be the highest we are be able to overclock to.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] fcortes626:
i just got off the chat with samsung support because of the noise in the camera where there is low light and they couldnt fix it. so i asked if it would be fixed in another update and he said there werent any updates but i said in the future like android 4.1 jelly bean and he said yes but didnt have a date for the release. i told him to fix the camera tho and he said he will let the techs know.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] kulzboy:
Yea next year. Seriously, in my past experiences, whenever I asked them about software updates, the answer would be "soon". Took them months to update the us galaxy s I & II. Just recently, they updated the last galaxy s II variant to ics, days after jelly bean was announced. Our best hope is to wait for cyanogen since they're making a very good progress for our phone
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] id_twin:
Yes, Samsung is very bad with rolling out updates for their phones. With that said, it is pretty much always assumed that when you buy a high end Android device you will receive the next release of Android. However, for us, an official release will likely not be in the near future.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] fzammetti:
I don't know... my last two phones have been Samsung so I TOTALLY know how it's been in terms of updates, which is to say pretty abysmal... I kinda suspect it might be a little different this time around though, at least for JB... the S3 is their obvious flagship and is doing extremely well so I think they may not make us wait as long as in the past. I'd bet we get JB by September, probably about two months to the day that it was announced. I mean, that's two months longer than we all want it to be naturally, but it's not THAT ridiculous to me.

In my mind, more than a month after an Android release you start to moan a bit... more than two months you start to outright complain. So if they get it to us right around two months, that's not great, but it's not awful either. That my hunch anyway, based on no more information than anyone else has, just a gut feel that they won' t want to ruin what has been a pretty stellar product cycle so far overall. Remember, they pulled off a nearly simultaneous multi-carrier launch for the first time and have a lot of momentum... it would be pretty lousy to follow that up with too long a delay getting JB to us. I suspect they get that.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] TechSavvy2:
Jelly Bean for VZW Galaxy S3 - Q4 2012. Its an incremental update rather than fully ground up so it probably won't take as long as, for example, ICS took on many devices.

I don't have source right this second, but I'll find it soon.......
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] peanut1596:
They take forever for software but damn they make worthy phones. I love my s3 and even tho I know we won't get official jb anytime within the next 6 months at minimum, I know we'll at least have cyanogenmod and aokp with it so I'm not worried about it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Eddie Bombay:
Don't expect any major updates with Samsung. I have had every top end Samsung phone for AT&T and never gotten one update.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] mlin:
I think the fact that the SGS3 is nearly identical across all US carriers will play a huge role in getting updates out much quicker than they have in the past. Samsung recently had a poll on facebook asking if they only made one device, which device would users prefer. This ability to only manufacture a single phone (a la Apple iPhone) would allow them to push updates in unprecedented amounts of time.

Hmm you didn't get gingerbread for your captivate or ice cream sandwich for your s2 and s2 skyrocket? I know I did. Maybe not timely but definitely got them.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] mrhaley30705:
Then you, sir, have purchased at the wrong time or are full of it. I received 2 official updates just on my Captivate.

It is not necessarily Samsung holding up the updates. Its most likely the carriers. I can only speak from experience on captivate , but the European counterpart of that devices ( the I9000) received more than 10 leaks and a couple of official Gb updates. The captivate itself had more than half a dozen leaks before the official gb update.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Jbluna:
If youre only focusing on the official OTA updates, then yeah , it'll naturally be slow. However, considering the dedicated community we've got, we'll definetley get jelly bean relatively soon considering we got cm9 now
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] fzammetti:
Yeah, sometimes Samsung gets a *little bit* of a bad rap with updates... my experience with the Epic 4G is that although the updates didn't come as fast as we'd like at times, we DID get eventually them... we went through three versions of Android if memory serves: I believe it shipped with Eclair, and I know we got Froyo and ended up with Gingerbread. That was over a two-year period, since I got the Epic shortly after release and just updated after a two-year Sprint contract. So, I mean, three major OS revisions, plus a couple of smaller ones and a few bug/security updates mixed in there too, over a two-year period, you know, that's not too bad in my mind, even though the wait was uncomfortable a few times. If the SGS3 gets similar updates it won't be too bad in the long-run, although I certainly hope the lags between Android releases and our updates aren't quite as long, and I suspect they won't be.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] jdubau55:
Actually Samsung was one of the first OEM's to roll out ICS to it's handsets. Look at how many Motorola phones don't have it yet. Almost all of the GS2 have ISC now. The Note has it.

HTC has a bunch of relatively new phones that don't have ICS yet.

I think the S3 will be one of the first non-Nexus to get JB. Time will tell.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Spartoi:
I'd bet that we have leaks by August and an official release the month after. So Jellybean by September.

Edit:

Forgot about carriers. Provably by November/December then but maybe Samsung can force them to update faster now that they have so much clout.

You all talk about not getting updates? Samsung is better than some providers. Look at HTC, or Sony, or most phone comapnies. They take time, it will work itself out if not, devs will work on it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] fcortes626:
didnt the guy from cyanogenmod get hired by samsung? if theres a cm10 for the s3 should they be close to having an official jb? i think they will release it with in a few months because they want to keep on selling more s3's and jellybean will attract more buyers.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] stan.s:
Samsung clout? Lol. They don't have Apple's lawyers or balls. The only updates that will be pushed will be bug fixes because they and the carriers hate returns, and a lot of phones are being returned for wifi, camera and blue tooth issues that the phone is suffering from. Sorta like the gps patches they had when the original galaxy came out.

Samsung had extensive delays from att on the rom they released the phone with, and att has embedded a lot of crap into the phone, they want to have in all of the firmware even put junk into the dialer and contacts.

I am hoping for a stable cm9/10 before November, jellybean from Samsung? 1q2013, maybe.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] stan.s:
Sony has only reneged on one update, for the play station phone. They're updated two year old phones to ics like the mini. They have posted which phones will be updated and kept the schedule. They have now also moved strongly to bring more unlocked phones to the usa, which they were reluctant to do in the past.

If the ion didn't have a s3 cpu, I would have gotten that. Yeah, the gs3 spec wise is better but Sony isn't asking $40 for a HDMI connection and they have a better metal case, better camera and it's a $100 cheaper.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] ydoucare:
That's because they can't fix it. The only legitimate fix for the noise in low-light would be a better sensor. You can apply any kind of noise reduction algorithm to it, but it'll never be able to equal the quality of a better, less noisy sensor.

FIXED: It seems I flashed the files in fastboot incorrectly, as I got my 16GB back! Thank gbroon! See gbroon's post below..

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=28873891&postcount=10

Okay so I got my Nexus 7 on Friday from GameStop, 16GB. Was the first one. I tried changing the DPI with the LCD Modder app to the tablet UI and this soft bricked my device, so I erased everything and restored to stock with the Nakasi factory images from Google, through fastboot,

https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#nakasi

I haven't downloaded much and only realized something was wrong when I tried to make a nandroid and I only had 2.3GB remaining!

I did a df on the file system before I wiped it again in adb...

1|shell@android:/ $ df
df
Filesystem Size Used Free Blksize
/dev 487M 32K 487M 4096
/mnt/asec 487M 0K 487M 4096
/mnt/obb 487M 0K 487M 4096
/system 639M 429M 209M 4096

/data 6G 5G 332M 4096
/storage/sdcard0 6G 5G 332M 4096

So did I some how get an 8GB unit? I have checked the SN on the sticker, and in About tablet, and they both match the one on the box, and they both state 16GB.

So now I'm asking two things

1.) Is the factory image from Google only for the 8GB unit and some how partitioned the space for only 8GB?

or

2.) Could this be a much larger scale problem where they physically did not add another 8GB at the factory (aka 8GB unit), but marked it at 16GB?

Because if it's 2, then I might not be the only one with this problem...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jptech:

Perhaps when you reimaged it you used the partition layout of the 8gb model.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dzap:
I don't really know how. This is what I did.

Extracted the zip and got all the imgs on my desktop, Cd to my desktop and just inputted fastboot commands..

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash userdata userdata.img

fastboot erase cache
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbroon:
How big is the userdata.img, it is possible you have flashed a small partition image.

edit had a look at the factory image

The factory image has another image bootloader-grouper that the scripts that come with it flash first, reboots then it applys the zip. Try again using the commands in flash-all.sh

fastboot erase boot

fastboot erase cache

fastboot erase recovery

fastboot erase system

fastboot erase userdata

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-grouper-3.34.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

sleep 10

fastboot -w update image-nakasi-jrn84d.zip

Could be something in bootloader-grouper you didn't have and it defaulted to the lowest size.
