In case anyone is wondering I did fix my problem. I didnt realize that there was a usb version of kies (new to android) and it immediately picked up the update. Installed it and OTA now works again (at least connects to their server and says "Up to date"). Just needed to re root it afterwards!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dmunjal:
Are you running the latest version of Kies? Windows XP SP3 worked for me.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Heisenberg420:
yep just downloaded it from Samsungs site today. i try to open it and nothing happens. ridiculous

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] catchesbass:
Did you ever fisure this out? I have the exact same problem. I even went to exchange mine and the new one did the same thing. Also the at&t employee tried it on his personal s3 and his did the same thing. My son's s2 works fine. I still have a few days before my 30 day exchange period is up so hopefully it will get squared away. If not, I am considering exchanging the s3 for the HTC One X.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Heisenberg420:
I never figured it out. My solution was to root and flash a different ROM. Now I'm running cm10 (jellybean).

I think the issue is with at&ts servers. If it were a software issue with the phone, then flashing back to stock will probably fix it.

If you know how to root/flash try that, I wouldn't exchange for the one x.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] k3y0n4:
My solution was to install Kies and plug in the phone. It updated immediately. I then uninstalled kies since, that was my only use for it. Anyways, it worked for me.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Heisenberg420:
Well for most people kies won't even run on windows 7..
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Grant H:
Same problem here right off the start from an AT&T Galaxy S3.

I did receive the first update though and I'd have to say that I think that broke the OTA feature.

Does anyone have any idea what is the most current software for the ATT Galaxy S3?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] boogyman12:
I had this problem and then it just went away. I don't think it's a phone problem, I think it's an AT&T problem. I just checked for updates the other day, and it said I have the latest (LG1).
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] eduardo_b:
I don't suppose that using Keis (which runs fine on my Win7 64 machine as well) will work with odin/cwm root for update, will it?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Grant H:
I have this same update problem where it fails to connect/communicate also...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] heaiser:
When I had this problem I resolved it by updating through kies. Once I plugged the phone into my computer with kies open it installed the update and I started getting ota updates. I've since gone to CM10 and haven't looked back so I never figured out what caused the problem for me.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Grant H:
I was able to update my phone to the stock firmware, but not to the new OTA firmware.

Am still having the same problems with "Communication Failed".....
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] robertlewisca:
Possible Solution?

I found a possible solution that involves a factory reset, and not entering your Google account information on the initial setup screens. Details are in post #9 here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1903602

I hope it helps!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ok2play:
Keis

I also have not found a way to connect to server for updates? Tried clearing, removed battery, that didn't work.

Tried the force stop of att update and Samsung push, no luck

Keis I also was having problems with, thought maybe because Im running Windows 8 Pro x64. That I actually just got to work.

When I had Keis open in Windows and connected the cable to Galaxy s3 nothing would happen? Looking through setting but most was grayed out. sound about right? I then just for giggles click on like music and it said I had to install (something, not sure what it was, I just clicked it) my device connected to Keis as soon as I installed.

Nice got step one of rooting my device, backing it up with Keis.

Now what's the next hoop I have to jump through with no support from Samsung or ATT so I can get my updates to work? Hope this helps some frustrated users of this very nice non-supported device.

Worst part for me is, I have had Iphone since 1st one in 2006-2007??? So, trying to learn OS has been fun all in itself. :p
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Adrenaline84:
Give this a try!

I had the same OTA problem with my galaxy s2, and s3. Turns out it was a bad sim. A new sim should fix your problem.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Grant H:
Replacing the sim did nothing for me. End result is the the AT&T store swapped it out with their tech support under the manufacturer 1 year warranty since it is 3 months old. I will have my replacement today and hopefully it will update.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mega pixel:
I also can't seem to get my phone to OTA update. I've tried everything people have listed except going into AT&T. I'm also getting a message saying that DM initialization is not ready, check network or SIM card. Maybe my best solution would be to take the phone in... On another note, Kies is worthless. I think it decides when it wants to recognize my phone. I actually just updated it before coming on here to see if I could get the phone to update that way. No dice. It says the firmware is up to date. (I747UCLG1) On top of that it seems I always have to force quit it because the application is unresponsive. Any updates?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] liveandlearn_again:
My girlfriend and I both have the GS3. My phone updated without issue (newest firmware with brightness slider), but I am rooted on the stock rom (needed to clear cache due to the copy paste issue).

She is stock withOUT root. Her phone will not update OTA, saying it is already up to date. Tried using Kies, and that too says she has the most recent firmware. Frustrating.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ingenious247:
At first, I did not have any of these issues, however recently they have popped up leading me to wonder why..

1. When I plug in my phone to charge, occasionally it takes about 2-3 seconds for the screen to come on and show that it is charging. Sometimes it's still almost instant, but more and more it seems to take a few seconds to acknowledge the fact that it's plugged in. This is using a wall outlet

2. "Mobile Life Contacts" seems to automatically change my settings in account & sync after reboot. I had de-selected "sync contacts" as I do not wish for T-Mobile to have all of my Google contacts synced, however after a reboot it automatically changes it back. When I go to accounts & sync it shows that "sync contacts" is selected.

Anyone have similar experiences?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] lawsofpower48:
im having the same issue as your charging one.... i noticed that too it takes a few seconds for the phone to charge since you can hear the charging tone and the red light come on..but its not instant.... it could be because of the cable... i havent tested it yet, but it seems that it charges right away when its on my laptop with a different cable..i havent tried using a different cable for the wall outlet one..
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ingenious247:
I'm thinking it may have something to do with the wall charger?

Because you're right, it does not happen when I use my USB on my PC.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ingenious247:
Yeah I was experimenting and if the screen is on (i.e. the phone is awake) then it recognizes it immediately. Must be a sleep issue.

Perhaps due to the fact it's activating MTP when you use a PC, it forces the wake faster, thus it does not appear to have the same issue.

Wonder why I did not notice this in the beginning though..

Quick update on the bluetooth issue:

I have old speakers that I use at my office that are not shielded. This may be what's causing my bluetooth disconnect issues with both my phone and keyboard but I'll have to test to see if this is actually the case. I was having minor bluetooth issues at home as well which leads me to believe it's the tablet.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] paulsam7:
Will Share My Experience

I have yet to receive my N7 and an ordered Logitech keyboard. I'll share my experiences, too, when I get them. That way we might be able to see if the bluetooth problem you're having is specific to your device or more generic.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] bernjc3:
Thanks for the input. I have left my tablet on with the keyboard paired with it off to the side of my desk and it seems to be doing fine so I'm thinking my old crap speakers were causing the interference.

However, I have been able to repeat the problem connecting and disconnecting of bluetooth devices consistantly. It seems that when you connect or disconnect a paired device, whatever screen you are on gets refreshed or redrawn. Seems like it may be an easy fix on the software end, unfortunately I am no developer. Also not sure if it would be on the kernel level or the OS level.

EDIT: I also started a thread more specific to the bluetooth issue here.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] mattmanb:
No Chrome Support?

Got the keyboard today for my Nexus 7 and everything works except the key to launch the browser. Anybody having similar issues - figured out how to correct?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] NZtechfreak:
It's probably looking for the ICS stock browser to open I guess... Could try changing the name of the Chrome APK in system apps to match the old stock browser and see whether that works...
[Nexus 7 Accessories] khaytsus:
My wife has the ipad version of this keyboard I should try it out on my nexus 7.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] lostchopstik:
EDIT: Also wanted to correct your review that it takes 4 AAA batteries, not 2.

I just got my keyboard today and I'm loving it so far. Haven't had any connectivity issues or any other type of issue.

I was worried about the stand/keyboard dwarfing the 7 inch tablet, but it works pretty nicely. Since I could never find any pictures of landscape and/or portrait of the Nexus in use with this accessory, here are some shots:
[Nexus 7 Accessories] khaytsus:
This reminded me to try my wifes iPad version of this out, and works pretty good. Weirdly at first, it wasn't.. Shift key was behaving really weird, sticking... then couldn't type again until I hit it a few times.

Now.. After reconnecting once, it's working good. Control, alt both work.. the cmd key paired with other keys do app shortcuts, like cmd-a is calculator, cmd-c is contacts etc.. Interesting.

Media keys work.. so cmd-p launches Google Music, then fn-7 8 9 0 - + control things. Cool. Fn-Delete puts the N7 to sleep..

Told the wife her keyboard might go missing. Heh. But in reality, I won't use it... Rare I'd need a keyboard like this that I'm not near a computer anyway, and I'm not carrying the keyboard around with me 24/7, so.. Maybe useful for some things though.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] RikF:
My only question about this keyboard is the weight. I've picked up the package in a few stores and it seems *heavy*. I've a small Apple (hush now, I'm using it to run my HTPC!) bluetooth keyboard at home which feels like a feather compared to the box. Is it just oddly heavy packaging, or is this keyboard, well, a bit porky?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] rwb2073:
It is a bit. But a surprising amount of that weight is the case. According to my kitchen scale... the N7 = 335g. Keyboard with batteries = 400g. Keyboard in case = 620g! 220g for the case / stand. My N7 will soon have it's own case / stand, so I think I'll ditch the keyboard one.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] bernjc3:
I'm on the same boat, my Portenzo case arrives this week.

Update: After returning the first keyboard I got and receiving a replacement everything works fine. The screen still refreshes when I turn on the keyboard which is odd, but now it stays connected with no sticking key issues.

I LOVE THIS KEYBOARD. Sorry to be absent, work has been nuts. I'll flesh out the original post sometime soon with updates.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] rwb2073:
I agree, it works great with the N7.

I get no refreshing when I disconnect / reconnect here though. While paired, input is fast, then when I power the keyboard off, there is a delay of about 15 seconds until the tablet realizes the connection has been lost and the software keyboard pops up. When I turn the hardware keyboard back on it connects almost instantly and the software keyboard goes away. No refresh or loss of work (in Catch Notes, for example). I wonder if this is related to the currently selected software keyboard? I'm using Ultra Keyboard, which has settings specifically to work with a hardware keyboard, when present. The tool bar and some of the features are still available while the Logitech keyboard is connected. Text zoom in / out is very helpful in particular, for example.

I've also found that when I connect to another device (laptop for example) the Logitech gets finicky about later being used with the N7. I think it likes to play with just one host device. The fix for me is a battery pull and all the connectivity issues go away (until I use it with the laptop again that is).
[Nexus 7 Accessories] lostchopstik:
Yeah as far as weight goes you'll definitely notice it in your pack, but at least you knows its solid construction.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] sthig:
Hi,

I've had my Logitech Bluetooth keyboard for a week now. It works well in Evernote, flawless actually. But my problem is that when I do a search in Chrome or use Google Now (or whatever it is at the bottom) I will start typing and it'll hang up on a letter going "tttttttttttttt" until I turn the keyboard off.

I *feel* it has something to do with instant search, I'm not sure. Anyone else experiencing this problem and have a fix? Is it an app I have installed that is making it do this mess?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] metalwraith:
The logitech keyboard looks cool. Looks a bit bigger than the amazon bluetooth keyboard though. I may look into the amazon one at somepoint. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005EOWBKE/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00
[Nexus 7 Accessories] rockb.blues:
I've been using this keyboard to take notes within evernote in lecture based classes and I Iove it! I have a few questions though, in keyboard settings I see auto correct spelling as well as auto capitalization for the keyboard but I cant seem to get the keyboard to do this.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PlacidoFerreira:
Hi all,

Incidentally, I removed the application poweroff.apk with Titanium Backup, and I not did the backup. Now, my phone is not shutting down. When to put turn off, it just restarts.

I am with an enormous anguish. My question: I can turn it off by the battery, it will again turn on? I am with fear that the same reason that he is not shutting down, run the risk of it not connecting.

That is because I take the opportunity to change the firmware, and pass the v20q for the v20s. How to do it with Smartflash,I need disconnect the device to complete the procedure.

What do I turn it off again?

Can I change the firmware?

Please, I need help!

Thank you.

Wow, the ROM is pretty fast and smooth, but i found a bug :) Sometimes, when there is a scrollable element (such as list in task killer, or in file explorer - but not in the original MIUI explorer), there are blue lines at the top and bottom of the list and when you scroll, the whole list is blue

BTW i had bug with launcher too - I had a screen full of icons, when i dragged and dropped there icon from other screen, it didn't say me that there is not enough space, it just put the icon on top of other icon (so there were 2 icons on 1 place), but clearing launcher data solved it :)

I can confirm the overlapping Icon on launcher. Also from the setting the edge glow behaves unnatural as seen from the previous report but no big deal.

To all who wants to use theme from miuiv4 without resizing use this launcher instead. Its a native port launcher from MIUI to work with 2.3 ROMS.

- Making swap with the built-in app

Please, please, please Shin look into the Caller Id setting and I'll be your friend forever. It works on your Lewa ROM.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] :
The launcher is not good enough and caused boot time longer. So, I reccommend everyone to use Mihome or other miui launcher instead :)

The blue colour when scrolling apps like root explorer is not a bug. The original miui dev purposely did that :)
