Try going into full screen mode before opening the game and see if that works. You can remove the nave bar by holding the power button down and then you will see the option...

Also, try setting the game itself in phone mode if it is still not working after that although that trick usually works. Does for NBA Jam....

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gk111:
Hi all

I'm searching the web for some time now, including this great forum here, but cannot find relevant information.

So I decided to raise this question to the XDA developer community.

I noticed that some GPS applications measure/display a incorrect altitude. (i.e. Maverick)

It looks like those Apps do not apply the NMEA correction.

Other Apps like ORUXmaps have an option to use the NMEA altitude correction.

So far so good. But on other Galaxy SII phones (with identical configurations) it seems that all Apps deliver the correct Altitude.

So there is maybe a difference in configuration of the phones.

My question to you is, if there is a general setting to enable NMEA correction or if each App has to apply that correction itself.

Is it maybe hidden inside the service menu ?

My phone:

Galaxy S II

ICS 4.0.3

Thanks in advance

You do realize that in a developer based forum which XDA is (or was at least) you generally do things not because you have to but rather because you can. It's a sad some people don't get that. However, there are far FAR too many people that come here seemingly because they feel this is some kind of tech support site for them instead of going to service centres.

Bye bye Razr forums

with special thanks to pedroterresfillo as he helped my several times to update and root this complicated phone

Iv bought the Samsung Galaxy S3 as not impressed with Motorola phones with the way motorola handles alot of things with regards to their phones

maybe in the future when they release the Razr HD Nexus quadcore if it has unocked bootloader I might be tempted back while i did love this phone i started to hate it for several reasons

If anyone wants to buy a unlocked sim free Razr boxed with all accessories in Uk as i will probably sell it now
[Motorola Droid RAZR] prstorero:

[Motorola Droid RAZR] iBolski:
Are you on Verizon? Because Verizon has come out and stated that the bootloader for the SG3 will NOT be unlocked, ever. The only way to get it unlocked is to switch carriers.

I know there was a news article a week or two ago about how someone talked with Verizon and asked about the unlocking of the SG3. Apparently, even though the person was told "yes, there will be an OTA to unlock the phone", the Verizon rep was talking about the SIMM card, not the bootloader.

Now, there is a developer edition to be released for Verizon that is to be released with an unlocked bootloader, but even Motorola did this with the RAZR Dev Edition, but when it was released overseas, it was still locked and apparently still is from what I understand.

So, if you are still with Big Red, you are in the same boat as you were with the RAZR. Verizon isn't allowing Samsung to unlock the bootloader for the SG3 on their network.However, Verizon has come out and said Samsung is the one not allowing the unlocking of the bootloader:

http://www.androidauthority.com/ver...3-locked-bootloader-developer-edition-100550/

So, who is telling the truth? I don't know...

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Topher227:
Good Luck with your SGS3. I bought one on launch day and returned it yesterday. Heres my very quick pro/con list of it:

Pros:

- TouchWiz was surprisingly much better than I thought

- Screen was bigger; phone didn't feel too big for my hands.

- Camera was awesome and extremely fast (Almost kept it because of this reason alone.... i find the Razr's camera to be too slow)

- Easily rootable

- I'd compare the SGS3 to an android variant of the iPhone. Simple to use, with a lot of customization available (even without rooting)

- Availability of accessories locally as the phone is available on all the major carriers.

Cons:

- Battery life was horrendous. If you look on the SGS3 forums you'll see people going "OMG BATTERY AWESOME" and see that their Cell Standby is the top of their battery usage list. My phone sits on my desk at work untouched and my razr is usually at 80% when i leave.... the SGS3 was 30% or below.

- Build quality is horrible. VERY CHEAP PLASTIC. I had it in a case and still felt like I could break it in one fall. I've never once had my razr in any case...

- THE LED NOTIFICATION IS BROKEN FOR USA VERSIONS. I mean, it works.... but you cannot currently change the color of any notification. If you try to, the light stays on permanently.

- Signal strength seemed lower in more places compared to the Razr, and the SGS3 had trouble holding onto LTE in low coverage areas.

Sorry, not trying to jack this thread... honestly..... but keep the above in mind while you're in your return window.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] maniAK-:
im in UK with a simfree version of the phone which comes unlocked and im pretty sure the bootlloader is unlocked here, One of the reasons i moved from GS1 and GS2 to the Razr was the build quality of Sammy phones was quite plasticy and poor , but the S3 is better then previous models it has a partial metalic side which does inprove the build quality slightly and combined with a good chrome metal back cover i purchased on amazon its made quite a difference to the build quality feel, the pros is better and battery life was not as good as Razr , but we had a ICS update a recently which has made a big difference there will soon be a 2500mah or 3000mah battery which i will buy to further enhance this phone

Wifi does drain alot of battery for some reason which is a concern for now even with update but im sure a custom rom or update to Jellybean which is due in August Sept will fix a lot more issues

I will miss my razr as it is a great phone for several reasons but its all about personal choice :)

2. Wipe cache

4. Format /System
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nitrogen618:
Anyone ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
really all you need to do is wipe data and cache (factory reset)

i prefer to format system just in case the rom does not include the script to format system, but most rom installs have a script that formats system
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aL_aSeeR:
Yes it is...

This is ofcourse if you are installing complete ROM. However, if you are just installing an update I don't think your mobile will ever boot.

Otherwise, as suggested by some other members, all you need is just 1,2 and 3.

Can u boot into recovery?

Do u have your backup in CWM?

Restore backup and try again after confirming you have the right bootloader.

Also which gapps did you flash? July 26th or any older one?
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
1. Try asking in the correct JB discussion thread in General. Waydownsouth monitor's that thread so you're more likely to get help relating to his ROM, there.

2. You almost certainly haven't installed the unlocked ICS bootloader. This is a mandatory requirement for CM10. Instructions for this can be found in the dev section.
[Galaxy S III General] satanxda:
I am writing this n00b friendly howto for anybody who will encounter similar problem that I had, since I couldn't find much info how to solve it on this forum.

Recently I have flashed CM9 and later CM10 preview on my Galaxy S3 I9300 with 64 GB Sandisk SDXC card. The card was formatted in Samsung stock ROM, so naturally, it was formatted as exFAT. CM9 and CM10 reported it as "damaged SD card", but this was expected, since open source AOSP ROMs do not support exFAT. However, when restored to original stock ROM via CWM recovery, the stock ROM was showing "damaged SD card" error, too! Not sure why this has happened - the only info I found was someone mentioning that "CM9 is known to do this on exFAT cards" on this forum.

Connecting the card (via adapter and card reader) to computer didn't help - it showed as a RAW partition, Windows was asking to format it and even reported incorrect size. Trying about 7 different open source and commercial recovery tools did not help. However, if booted to recovery mode, CWM could see the card just perfectly!

So this is how to get the data back:

1. Boot to CWM recovery mode (power off the phone, then hold Volume Up-Home-Power buttons for 5 sec)

2. When in CWM recovery mode, connect phone via USB to computer. The phone should be recognized and drivers installed (if not already).

Note: I had problems with Windows recognizing the phone in recovery mode on some PCs (only 1 out of 3 worked, actually). To solve this, installed drivers from Samsung Galaxy S3 Toolkit (first step after toolkit installation) and problem gone: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1703488

3. Run adb command (from Android SDK platform tools) to ensure that the phone is visible to operating system - it should show serial number of the device and "recovery" next to it:

adb.exe devices

4. Browse the phone to find the location of sdcard (mine was /sdcard):

adb.exe shell

Note: when first time connected to phone via "adb.exe shell", running "ls" in /sdcard directory came out empty. Had to "exit" from shell and do "adb.exe shell" again.

5. Pull the files from your device using "adb.exe pull" command:

adb.exe pull /sdcard c:\temp

replace /sdcard with your sdcard directory on the phone (if different) and c:\temp with other folder on your PC, if you wish.

That's it! After files are copied, reboot to stock ROM and reformat the card. You can now copy all data back to it from your PC!

Now I'm trying to find a way to format the card to FAT32. Seems not so straightforward with 64GB cards! :)

Sincerely,

satanxda

[Galaxy S III General] mahendra1020:
I had the same problem. From stock went to CM10, exFat got corrupted and then went back to Stock still external storage card showed as damaged.

I took the SD card out and put in adapter and then connected to PC. Then from command prompt ran chkdsk <Drive_Letter:> /f and it fixed the errors without me copying the files to PC.

Hope this helps.
[Galaxy S III General] mahendra1020:
And to format 64GB sd card from exFAT to FAT32, use guiformat tool or EaseUS partition master. I have formatted my card to FAT32 using EaseUS partition master.
[Galaxy S III General] magicm3n:
With this problem you can restore data in more easily way.

Insert your SDcard in CardReader, connect to PC, run Command line (cmd) and type:

chkdsk X: /f ,

where X is your card volume name. After operations is complete, you can use you card again and NO data had been lost.

Sorry for my bad english.
[Galaxy S III General] satanxda:
Tried it before posting this howto, but EaseUS didn't see the card at all. Windows disk manager in the meantime reported incorrect size (27 GB for a 64 GB card) and when formatted with guiformat I got a 27 GB partition. Could be a problem with card reader - will try another one as soon as I get my hands on one ;]

mahendra1020, magicm3n: in my case using chkdsk was not possible, since Windows showed the SD card as a disk with not formatted RAW partition (suggested to format it). To run chkdsk, partition type must be recognized.

And by the way, thanks everyone for comments and suggestions!

Sincerely,

satanxda
[Galaxy S III General] mahendra1020:
Yeah even in my case windows showed sd card as not formatted but chkdsk still works.

Try /f instead of /r as arguments for chkdsk.

Are u formatting as fat or fat32? For me both the tool worked.
[Galaxy S III General] satanxda:
Probably you are right. Checkdisk button was disabled for me when right-clicking->Properties on the drive, but anyway Windows was reporting wrong size of the card, so I didn't want to risk forcing repairing and didn't invest too much time to that. But as I said, maybe it's the problem of my quite old SD card reader :)

By the way, successfully formatted from exFAT to FAT32 by using this Android tweak to mount the SD card as USB Mass Storage device on PC (so basically turning the phone itself into a card reader) and formatting in Windows with guiformat:

And did you get CM10 to read all of the 64 gigabytes?

For me CM cannot read the SD card over 32 gb.
[Galaxy S III General] doclucas:
Formatted my 64gb SDCard using EASEUS Partition Master to FAT32.

CM9 recognizes all the 59GB+, reads and writes on the card just fine. Didn't install CM10 yet, so don't know if that will work...
[Galaxy S III General] ScottC:
FWIW; the Chkdsk /f command did fix mine, and just as well, cause nothing I did (on multiple machines) could get the darn thing to mount in CWM.
[Galaxy S III General] xillc:
yep, chkdsk does fix my 16g exFat card, and it works back just fine now. and before, i tried the CWM way twice, nothing i could pull up, os hints "remote object '/sdcard' not a file or directory"
[Galaxy S III General] kmfs:
I've had the same issue, and am really struggling to get anywhere at all with it...

I tried the method in the first post, but running ls on /extSdCard just gives an empty directory...

When I mount it in a reader in windows, it reports zero size and a 'please insert disc into Removable Disc (E: )' when I try and open it...

Even when I just threw my hands up and said 'ok phone, format it' it just says 'unmounting SD card' and then just backs into the normal screen.

At my wits end with this, I suspect the card might be fried, but want to get in if possible as it has my only stock backup!

Running the most recent CM9
[Galaxy S III General] Kangburra:
What about /storage/extSdCard/ ?
[Galaxy S III General] kmfs:
hmm, well storage isn't part of the structure when is run ls after using 'adb.exe shell'

tried it anyway, get 'can't cd to /storage/extSdCard'

interestingly, when I try and get into just the 'sdcard', which I guess is just the internal storage?

I run 'cd sdcard' and the folder that I get into is /data/media

this is confusing, anybody any ideas?
[Galaxy S III General] V@no:
Please add this simple info to the OP!

P.S.

Windows 7 said the volume is in use and if I wanted to dismount it before it would allow to continue checking/fixing it. But at the end it worked perfectly!

Thank you very much! I had so much stuff on this card that I haven't backed up yet..phew

[Galaxy S III General] EvilBoz:
I have the same issue. Flashed CM10 M2 on my tmobile S3, got the error that SD card is damaged, restored stock image from backup, and I'm still getting the bad SD card error. I'm using CWM 6.0.1.2 and mounting the external SD failed. I don't see the contents when I connect through ADB. Mounting sdcard from CWM mounts /sdcard but that is the internal storage which is not what I want. I also tried connecting the card to my laptop running XP using a micro-SD card reader and running chkdsk but that reported the disk as a RAW partition. Any ideas on what else I can do to copy files off of the card?
