[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] noweakness:
Every 5 minutes I get prompted to install the update. I have done everything humanly possible to get rid of it (to my knowledge and of asking around). Can anyone tell me how to get rid of the update? I don't even know why there is an update when I have a custom ROM.

Rooted Phone w/Blazer ROM 1.6

I even unrooted my phone, went back installed the update, and re-rooted my phone and its still there!

I clear dalvick cache and it buys me another day or 2 before I start getting prompted again to install it. How can I get rid of it, any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!

And yes, i've seen other posts and did the radio change and other installs as well that were "supposed" to fix it

Try the suggestion there. Worked for me.

Of course, since you're on a custom ROM though, you should make the edits yourself.

I made the change, rebooted into recovery and wiped cache partition, and no update notification since.

On my epic when I had it rooted and was getting bugged by an update (not sure if this will work on this phone) I would let install and let it fail (it was rooted) pull the battery and restart the phone and it would go into clock work and I would restart from there and it wouldn't bug me again till my next reboot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] s3xda:
Did you nandroid b4 doing the update? If so, revert back cuz phantom is working on the OTA update
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jordan23945bulls:
Just go back to the stock Rome, update the phone, root and flash the rom again...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flyboy1100:
I just want the update :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dakunclear:
i don't know but the new update screws up google search well every where in the world except canada where there was never an update ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] noweakness:
Where is build.prop located?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] noweakness:
Are ROM's not built in with the update?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Philosuffer:
/system/

Be sure to make a backup before changing it, just in case.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Turbogame:
Just let the update go through...

It will fail and then it won't bother you no more. At least that's what worked for me last night....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] solehjeff:

Stop upgrade notice

This works for me, I kept disabling things till I found it and narrowed it down:

1. Install "system tuner" by 3c

2. Go to "Startups"

3. Scroll down to "google services framework" and tap it

4. UNCHECK anything to do with "SystemUpdateService"

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheRoeP:
Hi all. Forgive me if this has been answered in another thread (I saw a thread about the "no service in the status drop-down, but nothing about the no network", but I am having an issue on my Sprint Galaxy Nexus. No matter what JB rom I flash, I always get a "No Service" in my drop-down bar and it shows my network as "unknown" in my phone status. I appear to be connected to the Sprint network, however, as I can make calls. What is going on here? Can it be fixed? Whenever I flash back to stock ICS, this is no longer a problem. I appreciate your help.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MikeyLee:
So last Friday I bought my SGSIII at Radio Shack. Dude asked me if I want their insurance. I tell him "No I already have insurance through Sprint" last night I get home and my phone falls out of the car. Screen cracks in the upper right corner. I call Sprint to file a claim and they tell me that Friday July 27th the insurance was removed from the account. LOL WTF? Radio Shack guy deleted my insurance. Now I have to go in circles with Sprint and Assuron to see if they will add the insurance back on and take my claim. But I'm thinking that I should do into Radio Shack and demand a brand new phone free of charge. Who agrees?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Nick Fury:
Im guessing your from the states and Im from the uk. But if i had this problem then i wiuld honestly go to Radio shack and ask if you coukd still have the insurence. As it is still withing a 14 day prerod. And then if they agree and it all gets set up then i would wait a few after the insurence is active and then claim on the insurence lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DroidBabe:
Cant you just return it for another one since you are still within the 14 days?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MikeyLee:
I'm not sure if Radio Shack has that and if they cover damage. I think the 14 days is if you are not satisfied with the product.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MikeyLee:
"If you are not satisfied with your purchase for any reason, and it is in its original new condition, simply call us within 14 days of the activation or process date shown on your sales receipt"

However I will talk to the store manager because I do not feel that I should have to wait for Sprint to determine if they will accept the claim because of Radio Shack's error. With a crack there is always a potential for more damage. Crack gets larger etc... We'll see what they say
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JohnM:
If he removed your insurance without telling you, you should try demanding a new phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MikeyLee:
I'm going to give it a shot. I called but the store manager is not in until this evening. The person there says she does not have the authority to do anything.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Kchitown1977:
same thing happened to me when i tried to activate phone when i got my s3 luckly i caught it in time was able to get my battery replaced becuase they added insurance back to my account when i got activated
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] s3xda:
demanding a new phone from the shack wont work. They wont even think about covering damage done by the consumer. Your best bet is to call asurion and sprint and hope they feel it was a misunderstanding. Did you always have insurance b4 getting the s3?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] joebarkho:
I work at radio shack..

From my experience, it was the sales mans fault for not putting it back on.

We aren't supposed to sell sprints insurance. So when he upgraded the phone he had to select premium data and didn't check the tep insurance. It usually gets removed and you have to add it back on. Then again you could've had some **** of a salesman.

Usually we're pretty good at radio shack, we help the customers out alot.

Go in there let them know the situation. It could've been an inexperienced sales guy. Bring in proof of having insurance as well from your last phone
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] joebarkho:
If not, you can get radioshqck insurance BEFORE you complain. Go the next few days and turn your phone in. The deductible is less than sprints but they have to ship the phone out so you need a backup phone. Usually takes 3-14days from my understanding
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] icebluelily:
Same thing happened to me when I got my phone from best buy. Declined their insurance because I had sprint's. Got home and checked online to make sure insurance was still there, but it had been removed. Chatted with sprint and was told they themselves removed it because instead of paying the usual $8 it had gone up to $11 because of the "suggested retail price when it launched and the rising replacement cost of high end phones, they found it necessary to increase TEP monthly charges". They put it back once I agreed to the change in price
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MikeyLee:
I'm waiting for the store manager to call me back on it. Hoping she will do what's right and exchange the phone. Sprint is looking into weather or not they will honor a claim like I said but there's a chance they may not and there's also this waiting time now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Vincent Vegas:
I got my G3 at Radio Shack and the salesman assured me I could get my $38 Activation fee waived given my 10+ tenure with Sprint.

It's not that he was wrong it's that he was very wrong. He was either ignorant or deceitful. Get it in writing.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dtr145r:
pretty much the same thing happened to me.

bought it at rs

cracked the screen

sprint said the ins was removed.

they said it was a possible glitch though because of going to a higher tier ins.

all you need to do is call them and explain it.

a rep will back date the insurance to the date you purchased it.

was a pain for me but i got my replacement

:)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MikeyLee:
Radio Shack isnt doing anything for me. I feel that they should replace it. I should not have to wait and risk further damage
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Sunsparc:
We always have nothing but problems regarding insurance with customers that purchase their devices at RadioShack. Most customers do not return to RadioShack when they have a problem, they go to Sprint repair location. Then we have to explain that they don't have insurance and RadioShack duped them.

It's an all-around headache for me at least. I'm not knocking any employees here, but RadioShack's marketing on their insurance is deceitful and shady.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] VikingoRMCF:
EASY.. Demand the manager log in to sprint terminal and add the insurance back, it can be done.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] FrameCityJackal:
This hes pissed you messed up his rssp and post attch. That could be his job but if you get what you want no need to have him get axed :angel:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MikeyLee:
Radio Shack did not do anything for me. I talked to the store manager. She talked to her DM and they sand they will not replace the phone. I faxed her my current Sprint account info showing there is no insurance and faxed her my last bill showing I was billed and had it prior and still nothing. She is supposed to be contacting their Sprint sales rep to see if he will do anything about it. It's not a matter of getting the insurance added back on. it's a matter of getting the phone replaced and not having to pay full price for another.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] joebarkho:
Lte upgrades automatically remove the sprint insurance because its a different tep for lte devices. If you let us know you want the sprint one we'll do it no problem at all. We're not deceitful, or snakes. Things happen. I'm sorry but no matter what you'll need to pay a deductible. This is the cost of no good case protection. Especially for such an expensive phone.

Hello everybody. I have BIG problem with a2sd.

I have haldric Sensation ROM with marc 0.2.3 kernel and A2SD.

I've installed only about 15 apps and after about 4 month of using this ROM i get low memory notification.

I check system information in A2SDGUI:

Internal: 2MB free (183 MB total)

SD-ext: 1435 MB free (2015 MB total)

cache: 2MB free (183 MB total)

So now i cant use music player, gallery app etc.

In my sd-ext/app i found something strange.

Inside app folder are .apk files and app folder, and in this app folder are the same apk files and app folder. So i have extreme big sd-ext/app folder...

Please help me. I check a lot of threads but nothing works.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jianC:
you need to edit script to move /data/data to sd-ext also if dalvik-cache is already moved (which I assume it is judging from the percentage sd-ext is used.

edit: if you decide to flash another a2sd script, remember to delete the original script or they will have conflict and may cause bootloop.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] firedroidguy:
Quick noob question. I have a rooted Galaxy Nexus and today it started telling me it needed to complete a system update. I know normally when rooted you never do system updates but a buddy that does rooting said since it was a Nexus device it was safe to update. If its not safe to update how do I get it to stop checking for updates and annoying the hell out of me? Thanks

Install ota root keeper from.the play store, run it to back up your root status and then run update. After update, launch ota root keeper and restore root.
[Asus Transformer TF700] JohnM:
Hello, I have a few questions I was wondering about before I buy one of these fantastic looking tablets.

1) Does USB On-The-Go work with it (ability to plug in USB devices)?

2) Does Asus have their own custom skin? Or is it stock android?

3) How good is Asus with updates - Do they still update their older devices? Will they support this after 2 years? Generally how long does it take to update to a new android version once it's released?

4) Does the bootloader come locked with no way of unlocking/has limitations when unlocked?

Thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF700] modulator03:
Good that you are asking questions and generally researching products before you buy. I will attempt to answer these questions, I have had my tf700 for 2 weeks and absolutely love it.

From what I have experience, android and the device supports most 'plug and play' devices. I have plugged in mice, flash drives, usb hubs, portable harddrives, gamepads (logitech, sixaxis controller) and other USB devices and they all work fine natively with no extra software. I believe other devices such as keyboards, external CD/DVD readers, and others will work as well.

No custom UI or skins (like senseui, etc). ASUS has generally tries to keep their android installs as close to stock as possible. The only UI modification asus has is their custom 'quick settings' popup that replaces the stock android one. Its a tasteful addition in my opinion. You can switch between asus quicksetting and default android quicksetting in "settings>asus customized settings"

Asus is known for being quick to update, fix problems, and support their devices for longer than most. My device has already download 2 updates that fix camera issues and a clock issue I was having. I believe the OG transformer (TF101) is getting an official update to Jelly Bean by ASUS, if that says anything.

The bootloader is not unlocked by default, however ASUS has released an unlocking tool that allows you to manually unlock the bootloader. I believe there may be warranty implications upon unlocking. There is a thread discussing the unlocking tool here.
[Asus Transformer TF700] JohnM:
Thank you so much for all the answers. I think I'll be purchasing the tablet.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rrkpitt15:
I am not familiar with the assembly and disassebly of tablets/phones but i have played around with the disassebly of a car's ecu. When a definition or usb cable is bad when flashing the ecu, bricking the ecu happens instantly but 95% of the time the bricked ecu can be recovered very easily with a power supply.

If i happened to brick the Nexus 7, can it be easily recovered?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:
Even though I have a bricked unit, it was because I was doing something stupid. 99% of the time, you can't really brick your tablet. Even if you screw it up where it won't boot, you can still connect it to the PC and push a factory reset to it and have it restored.

I've already done this a few times. The first time I freaked out, but once you restore it the first time you find out it's all gravy.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeoMagus:
As long as you can get into the bootloader (power+ volume buttons when powered off) , and you have the factory image from here you can reflash it
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beagan:
how can you push it? if it wont get past the screen. I can get into recovery btw
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeoMagus:
extract the factory image to your folder with fastboot (typically platform-tools) then go into the bootloader and use the commands here
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Se7enLC:
fastboot or adb from the PC is the short answer.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:
I couldn't even get into the Bootloader. It just stayed off. The screen wouldn't come on. The only thing I could do was get an APX connection on the PC which is completely useless at this point. Nothing worked.

I couldn't even get the screen to come on thus NO FASTBOOT commands. If anyone knows how to restore a N7

without

adb or fastboot commands, I'd be thankful.

I returned mine back to Staples. If your screen turns on and gets stuck at the Google Logo or you can get into Recovery, then it isn't bricked and easily fixable.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beagan:

I've had to use my jig several times. It boots up fine after that.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rudeguy:
I think I may have finally killed mine.

I was flashing back to stock (woke up at 3am and couldn't get back to sleep. What else was there to do?) and in the middle of the toolkit sending "system" my data cable came loose. Fun! So I rebooted and had toolkit push again...waited 20 minutes with no luck.

So I did it all again and left the bastard on while I'm at work. Unless its pregnant...it shouldn't need more than 9 hours to push right?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jubakuba:
Try using fastboot commands rather than the toolkit so we know where it's erroring out and can potentially help.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rudeguy:
can do

I know its not bricked...just didn't have enough time to get into really trying to fix it. My rule with Android devices is if its not smoking, its not dead yet.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rudeguy:
hmmmm...so apparently I'm having some system img issues.

I downloaded the one linked to earlier and I also tried using the one included with Nexus Tools. What am I missing?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rudeguy:

Hey fellow sgs3 owners,

I just received my Seidio surface case and I'm here to review it. I chose the blue because it is my favorite color and it looks awesome on white, and no I do not like pebble blue at all lol.

When I first opened the package and took everything out I noticed how sleek the case is. The case is broken up into 2 parts (top, bottom). The inside of both parts has a very nice suede type padding as "shock absorption" (idk if it is suede or mesh or whatever but it feels nice :D). To get the case on the phone it is quite simple, you slide the top part of the case thru the top of the phone and the bottom part thru the bottom of the phone until both ends meet in the middle. You don't have to force anything and it fits perfect with no space in between ends and no rattling of the phone. Perfect fit.

The feel of the case reminds me of a stronger and more scratch resistant material than my htc one s. It is definitely scratch proof and feels solid in my hand. Gone is the feeling of holding plastic while I am using my phone. The case covers the entire back, top, and bottom of the phone. It even has a raised bezel around the front side so you can set the phone down on any surface facing down and not worry about the screen getting scratched. The cutouts of the case are perfect. The volume and power cutouts are angled so you can get to them without a hassle. The mic, noise cancelling mic, and charger cutouts are cut to perfection with no crazy thickness that would make it difficult to access.

The camera, flash, and speaker cutouts are nearly perfect too. Seidio went with a nice design that covers the bezel of the camera too so your lens is 100% protected from fall and surfaces. Again this case was cut out to perfection.

The one grip I have about the case is that it's a pain in the pass the a** to take off. I have had the case on for about an hour now and I am still trying to take it off :confused: I saw a video on youtube where someone says "it takes a bit of pressure to take off" that's an understatement. I feel like I will need a hammer, a machete, and a crowbar (All obvious exaggerations). But seriously I feel like if I apply anymore pressure getting this thing off I'm going to break something lol. This can also be a good thing. you don't have to worry about the case coming apart on impact if you drop it. Like I said it's solid.

This case doesn't add much bulk to the device. It still feels slim and sexy in my hands. I'm not sure about the size of the case but seidio probably has it on their website.

If you are looking for the best protection you can get while maintaining the sexiness of your device I would highly recommend this case. Just be ready for war when you want to take it off.

-not sure why the pictures lost quality when I uploaded them, sorry-
[Galaxy S III Accessories] elracing21:
Update I figured out how to take it apart. It's tricky but once you learn how to its easy. You don't necessarily hold the sides and pressure the middle tab. You have to press down next to the middle tab with a bit of pressure without holding the sides and try sliding off. Again tricky but do it once and you will be able to do it again and again.
