[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johndoe6769:
Not really working in Houston Texas either. Sort of glad this isn't just me. What I did find that helps is if you go into airplane mode with gps on, it will lock on to your location after about 30 seconds, it's not a desirable solution, but it's better than the alternative.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shilent:
Hmm, to everyone that's having GPS issues, when did it start happening? Are we all having the same problem where it sees the satellites, but doesn't get a lock? What do you see when you open GPS test? Mine will find 7+ satellites, but the bars stay gray and doesn't lock.

My GF's SGS2 locks immediately.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] roastpuff:
Same here. It will see 6-7 satellites but no lock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Clancy_s:
fwiw working fine in NSW Australia
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mzxx:
Solar flare maybe? I had no satellites locking at all earlier. About half of them are locking now for me in New Zealand.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] I Am Marino:
I had slower than usual GPS last night but still locked on, who knows.

i just flashed my phone to ff18 using mobile odin. it is completely stock but i want to add cwm. i was going to use sfhub's autoroot pacakge to flash cwm. however im confused if i should choose ff18 cwm agat src or cwm agat?

any help would be appreciated...thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dante32278:
Depends what you're going to flash as a ROM...I think SRC means safe recovery meaning you can flash cm9 or an aosp rom thru it. Your best bet is just read up on his kernel and then decide.

Edit: from sfhub on his one click post

FF18+CWM-agat-src which is a recompiled kernel that is safe from EMMC along with agat's variation of CWM. chris worked with agat on this release, but it isn't the same as chris's CWM, however it is safe.

FF18+CWM-agat this is the same safe CWM as above, but repacked with the stock unsafe kernel. That means all operations handled by the recovery like wipe data/factory reset, and nandroid restore are safe. There is only slight exposure if a ROM install does a format() and include an unsafe update-binary in their installs. AFAIK no *current* ROMs do that anymore, but if you install older AOKP/CM9 ROMs you might run into that situation.

You can always just use Mobile ODIN to install whichever CWM you desire, or you can just stick the zImage from any ROM install package into the copy2sd\000root directory and choose the "generic" zImage option (there is a video on how to do that in the first post. Basically the generic zImage option will install any zImage you want to provide in the same fashion as the built-in zImage (kernel/recovery)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
I suggest you find Agat's thread in the dev section with all his new kernels built from source code and flash version 2.3 that just got released yesterday. You can use Odin on your pc but that will give you the yellow triangle. Mobile Odin won't.

Hello All..

I'm starting my first Android Development project and I thought I would share the system dump from the new ICS ROM for the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus

I will be seeding the HC stock and ICS firmwares through the weekend, FYI.

Let me know if there are any problems with the dropbox link or the system dump and I'll do what I can.

Remember: I AM A NOOB AND THIS IS MY FIRST REAL ANDROID DEVELOPMENT ATTEMPT. :)

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] TTM57sl:
I live in Canada and I bought a Sidekick 4g.

I rooted the phone, did the "bml3.bak" unlock method, got the code and re-booted the phone with my bell sim inside but the unlock screen didn't pop up. So then I did the "efs>root>afs>settings>nv_data.bin" but still nothing. I figured if I just delete the nv_data.bin file that it'll come back when I reboot.

So I deleted it, rebooted with bell sim in phone and boom sim unlock screen pops up. I typed in my unlock code and it worked. However when I search for a network and choose bell I get this message "Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network" The phone always shows about 3 bars of service, but it doesnt work. At this point, I don't know what else to do.

Any help would be greatly appreciated :)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Jax184:
Bell is a different type of network. I don't believe it will work with the Sidekick.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] samandiriel:
You likely have to manually set the APNs for Bell in the general settings. I had to do this for WIND.

Press Menu then Settings from the idle mode.

Select Wireless controls.

Select Mobile network settings.

Select Access Point Names.

Press Menu to add a New APN setting.

Fill in the following settings:

Name: Bell

APN: pda.bell.ca

Proxy: web.wireless.bell.ca

Port: 80

Username: <Not set>

Password: <Not set>

Server: <Not set>

MMSC: http://mms.bell.ca/mms/wapenc

MMS proxy: web.wireless.bell.ca

MMS port: 80

MMS protocol: WAP 2.0

MCC : 302

MNC : 610

APN type : <Not set>

Press Menu and Save.

Click Bell to assign the new APN.

Please note that you will have to re-enter the above settings anytime you insert a different SIM card or if you reset to default settings.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Jax184:
Bell is a CDMA network. I don't believe any amount of APN settings will get a non-CDMA phone to connect.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] This_dude:
So I installed redruM Lean Stock 4.0.4 R4 Rom and am very happy with it. Only thing I was concerned about was when I took some pictures and wanted to see them in a slide show, the Gallery FC. I downloaded the Bloat zip file with all the bloatware the was cut out of the rom and pushed the slideshow.apk into the system/app folder. This still didn't correct the issue.

I am pretty sure there is something I am missing or not doing right so if you could point in the right direction I would truly appreciate it. Oh also I have the same issue with Smemo... Thanks guys.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] chrismic1995:
Has anybody else had issues when playing audio files on their phone either through headphones or through the speaker? When I stream the audio it sounds just fine but when I put the physical audio file on my phone is pops and clicks.

My Phone:

At&t SGS3

No Root/Stock IOS

Here is what I have tried so far:

-Placed audio file on internal SD card.

-Placed audio file on external SD card.

-Tried multiple music players.

-Tried different headphones and used the speaker.

-Verified that the audio file does not have pops and clicks when playing on other devices or streaming to my phone via "Play Music"

Thoughts suggestions? Bad phone? Default my phone and start over ;( ?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] RudeTexan:
Volume maxout

I have been using s3 for over 3weeks, never had any such issues, however, it dose happen to me when i stream music over BT on my car radio. I just had to lower the vol on phone and increase it on radio.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] chrismic1995:
I am debating on taking it back to Costco and getting it replaced and see if that will fix my issue but I would rather find some software bug.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] RudeTexan:
Are you on power saver mode? also try to close all the running applications and see if it fixes. If not, try downloading any other music player(Apollo or poweramp)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] rey_1178:
I have the same annoying issue. No matter the music player or volume setting I still get the popping noise. I don't have any other issues with the phone so I hope it's a software bug. Since the phone is rooted i would rather not have to take it back and get it exchanged.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] SlimSnoopOS:
I have the same issue however mine is limited to PowerAmp music app. In my case, I learned that certain albums have this issue and that when I listen to them in the stock music player and Ubermusic (another music app in the Play Store) I had no popping sound. For my issue, I have a theory that the only music that pops is the music I copy over from my iTunes library. I have music stored in two locations c:/Music and c:/Music/iTunes/iTunes media/iTunes Music, only the albums copied over from iTunes directory have resulted in popping. With my last phone, Droid Incredible, I did not have any popping issues so I know the problem is on Samsung's end. I even emailed the dev for Poweramp and they believe the issue lies with Samsung since other users notice this issue in multiple music apps.

I've been trying to listen to music in my spare time from work to see if there is any pattern to the issue.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] rey_1178:
Well I've had the issue even in the tune in radio app. Went to sprint and they ordered an exchange for Tuesday. Had to unroot of course.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] chrismic1995:
Did you think it is the way that iTunes converts the music? All of my music is stored in iTunes, I will have to rip an album not in iTunes and see if that fixes it. From the responses, it might sound more like a software bug than a hardware issue.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] rey_1178:
Its been confirmed in another thread that its a small batch of bad phones. Not software related.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] SlimSnoopOS:
Any way you could provide a link? I'd hate to return this phone cuz so far, no other issues have surfaced. My 14 day exchange window is in two days.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] chrismic1995:
I have been testing multiple audio apps and the only one that seams to rid the crackle and pop is poweramp, every other app I am getting the horrible noise. Would it still be a hardware issue if I found a app that works normal when playing music?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] rey_1178:
I feel the same as you and my window closing as well I went ahead and got the process of an exchange going . One link is this one under confirmed hardware issues http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1722363

it's related to our issue. Only improvement I got was playing some songs off the sd card instead of the phones internal storage.

---------- Post added at 06:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:37 PM ----------

This i don't understand. I don't hear it either with that app. I'm going to retest audio through Bluetooth. But since we're in the minority I feel it's best to exchange the phone. I want to be able to use whatever player I want no? ringtones are still affected.

I still hear a pop in between songs.

---------- Post added at 07:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:52 PM ----------

Just tried power amp via Bluetooth and it pops worse than the other players. Calls sound fine. Definetly exchanging this on Tuesday.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] SlimSnoopOS:
I'm not sure what to think of this cracking issue. One one hand, Poweramp is useless (for me) but stock music player and a severely outdated (by about a year) Ubermusic aren't noticeably giving me cracking noise...yet. Any thoughts on how to proceed?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] chrismic1995:
Today, I took my friends GS3 and put my ex-sim that I store my music on and used the stock music player and there was no crackling when playing my files, I then put the ex-sim back in my phone and the crackling was there. I think I am going to return my phone to Costco for a replacement.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] BubZX:
went to return mine todAy for audio issues and they wouldn't exchange it. Some dumb ads when I got my phone put in that I didn't want insurance. Boy was I pissed!! They wouldn't do a Damn thing for me. So after I was on the phone with Sprint for a half an hour I got it taken care of now I gotta run back out of my way to the Sprint store.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] rey_1178:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] zmore:
FYI: I only ever hear popping and clicking when my USB cable is plugged into my noisy computer, and not my A/C charger, or when unplugged. I hope you're not returning the phone for this reason...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] s2556:
This happened to me using power amp pro. Is it an annoying buzz every now and then? If so that's what I had. I emailed the developer and he gave me some instructions on how to tweak the advanced settings and it fixed it for me. I'm not sure if it will be the same for the other players however it is worth a shot! Also It happened to most my songs but there would be the odd one that wasn't affected. I don't use itunes at all for my music so I can confirm that is not the cause.

Settings => Audio => Advanced Tweaks => Audio Thread Priority. Change it to +2 or the highest.

(if it still does it on +2 switch it to the highest)

Hope it works for you guys too! :D
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Intercrew:
My phone doesn't pop or crack but you can hear the static/hiss/white noise when something is being played. If the music/video is paused the sound goes away. But when the audio starts to play, you can hear the hiss on low volume but will go away on high (probably cause the actual audio is overwhelming the hiss).

Is this a hardware issue as well? It's a bit annoying when you have for example a piano playing, acoustic guitar, or some soft background/vocal going on cause the hiss can be very well heard in those situation but disappears when a lot of elements of music are mixed.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] chrismic1995:
Nope it pops and clicks when I am unplugged, I have tested 4 audio apps and they all pop and click very loud. When I put my ext-sd in a friends GS3 and play the audio file with the same applications they sound just fine. Very strange....
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] fluxvalve:
I was getting the popping sounds, mostly when using bluetooth audio.

Return the phone for a replacement if you have this problem. My replacement phone works flawlessly, I've played hours of bluetooth audio, along with trying all other audio functions, and haven't heard a single pop or click.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] rey_1178:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
Try flashing Siyahkernel through Odin instead of CWM.

Please make sure the following two points are given:

- are you really on the international S3 with the model number i9300, not the US-version or korean version?

- Are you on Stock ROM or any given Ice-Cream-Sandwich ROM. Jellybean does not work.

If it still does not work, flash the original ROM again. You can get it at samfirmware.com

That will replace everything including the kernel, but not cause data loss. Make sure you flash the same or a higher build, not an older version.

First: the pit file from the link you quote is not made for S3 so do not use it!!!

Second: you should not need to use pit file

Then:

-restart your phone in Download mode

-open Odin and select your rom as PDA

-be sure that "repartition" is not checked

-connect your phone to your computer

-once Odin has recognized your S3, just hit the start button in Odin
