once u root u can backup ur apps with titanium backup and then after flashin a different rom u can restore it

Download a stock galaxy s3 firmware and then extract the keyboard from that then transfer the apk to your phone and install. Should allow you to have the galaxy s3 keyboard on your phone.

thats a very hard procedure and i think it wont work cus its designed for the s3 and for no other phone

Is anyone able to access banks and such on your phones? I am trying to make a one call and the system doesn't see the tones.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xclusivx:
go into Call Settings and set your DTMF tones to "long".
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Flipr99:
I've had no problems getting automated systems to recognize the tones at the other end. Have you tried it on any other automated systems?

However, I have noticed that I do not hear any DTMF tones locally when dialing anytime-- whether it be just entering a number in the dialer while not on a call, or dialing while on a call like you are talking about.

Instead, I just hear the default 'drip' sound when I dial the keys. Is this normal? Should I be hearing the DTMF tones when punching in numbers in the dialer?

DTMF Tones

I am having trouble using Cisco's Interncall conferencing service with my Verizon S3 CM10. I can't find any way to change the DTMF tones to long, which I believe will resolve my problem. Has anyone found a way to change DTMF tones in CM10 to long?

I can't even get through Cisco's support menus since the tones are not heard.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DoctorQMM:
Hoping a BBS (Better Battery Stats) expert can advise… I’ve noticed that last couple of weeks that under BBS Alarms, that “com.google.android.apps.maps” is generating about 70-80 wakeups per hour for the first few hours after removing device from charger… then stabilizers to about 40-50 wakeups per hour thereafter (see attached screen-shot). Phone

is

going into Deep Sleep… and under “Partial Wakelocks” it seems to tie to “SignalCollector.ScannerThread” process (after 11 hrs since full charge it shows 12min 55s of wakelock time). So averaging just over 1min per hour of wakelock. But as stated, after 11 hrs since full charge, I’m up to around 600 alarm wakeups.

What I’ve tried: (1) clearing Maps data and cache; (2) uninstalling Maps and reinstalling

Under “Settings… Location Services”, I have “Google Location Service” and “GPS satellites” checked… and “Location and Google Search” has always been unchecked

GPS works fantastic, just wondering if ROM is making too many calls to G-Maps? Anything else I can try to reduce the number of Alarm wakeups? Running SkyICS 4.2F6 Update 2.4B. Honestly, couldn’t be happier with this ROM and it’s performance… best I’ve run on my i727. Just would like to understand what’s happening with G-maps and these wakelocks? Thx.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] sandman97289:
I've been monitoring wakelocks for a while now with SKYICS and I had a similar issue with gallery. I eventually froze it with TiBu and am using quickpic instead. Maps shouldn't be causing wakelocks and definitely not 40-50 an hour. Try starting again with 2.4A after formatting etc etc.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DoctorQMM:
Thanks for the reply... I think this would be my last resort. By reflashing 2.4A, it will rewrite my systemUI and framework-res files... I've added custom PNGs to both, so I'd have to redo all of these plus all the add-on zips (although I may have to!). Any other suggestions regarding the maps wakelocks? (BTW, tracked again today when I took phone off charger... got 65 wakeups in first 51 minutes (com.google.android.apps.maps)... and Partial Wakelocks on BBS shows the process culprit as "SignalCollector.ScannerThread" (2m 1s for these).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Bruno2123:
I would clear maps cache and turn off google location service and try that
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] T.J. Bender:
My approach to the problem:

1. Install MapQuest, OSMAnd and Waze

2. Clear Google Maps cache and data

3. Uninstall Google Maps

4. Problem solved
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DoctorQMM:
Thanks for reply... I already tried clearing map data and cache... wakelock issue returned. But did not turn off "Google Location Service".. so will try that next. My concern of course is by turning off Google Location Service, will that degrade the accuracy/performance of G-Maps when I need it?

If this doesn't work, I'll try T.J. Bender's recommendation (thanks for that). No one else is experiencing these high BBS wakeups with G-Maps? Started when I flashed 2.2B or 2.3B, can't recall which.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Bruno2123:
You can keep clearing it till it stops doing it after you close maps i know it seems kinda pointless but it will work. With the gps fixes on skyics it helps connect you to multiple satellites so you dont need google location service even with it clicked off and the right fix you can get gps locked on in seconds with accuracy under 5 meters you just have to have to find the right fix for you if it doesnt already do that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mark930:
You know when your in an app then go back home and the widgets need to reload them selves its like that but with all my icons they keep disappearing and reappearing until I open an app or lock my phone then unlock again. I noticed it twice so far and the last time I was downloading a bunch of music to my phone so might have something to do with lag even though there shouldn't be any problems with 2 gigs of ram.

I think it is a software issue. My screen flickers when I flashed CNA and BlackBean but does not flicker with AOKP. My guess is that AOKP is more stable and less buggy?

I would suggest going into your developer options and disable HW overlays. This works on AOSP ROMs and it should work on TW ROMs also.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sghrush:
Will do. But quick question, wouldn't the developers of CNA and Black Bean have figured this out prior to the release of their custom rom?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DX.Deception:
I would have thought so. But then again there roms are probably built from a modified source and compiled. Once compiled they probably flash it to make sure it boots. If confirmed to boot they probably upload the original. In that case it would not have the option enabled. That is my educated guess on the subject. lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] x714x:
Screen flickering on AOSP based roms is nothing new, been a known issue for a long time. Some things get fixed then break cause of something else was changed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mediaeffects:
Flickering

My phone is original. No Root. Screen just started flickering the other day. I have had it since August. I did nothing different to the phone. Verizon claims I damaged the phone in some way. I have not done anything to damage it. If I open the Gallery on the phone, it starts going crazy. Does not always do it. If I use something like Google Earth or Maps and then open the Gallery, I get horizontal lines across the screen flickering up and down randomly. Swiping gets sluggish when all this happens. Almost like the memory fills up. I look in the memory and it is not even using 1GB, but is close to it when all this happens. Not sure what the heck happened to cause this issue to all of sudden start occurring.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] sleeco:
Hi, i was down loading ICS upgrade yesterday too my 7150 tab via Kies all seemed to go well,tab rebooted but camera would not work and the system seemed erratic so i connected to pc again, pc would not recognise the tab so i opened kies and kies would not connect, i reinstalled kies and tried again with no luck,so i turned off the tab and went into download mode, the tab came up with a screen saying, Firmware upgrade encountered an issue, select recovery mode in kies and try again.

When i press the power button to shut down it restarts again after 5secs, so it will not turn off

Kies asks for a code to start the recovery, i have no idea what code it means.

As i cannot connect to kies is there anything else i can do.

All help is most welcome.

Thanks Brian.

PS is there a way to go back to 3.2

You should:

[Nexus S General] Moonystorm:
So did my Nexus S (9020) Tonight, I Just tell how the story went on I believe. You geniuses Might help.

So Yes. I got My Nexus s from my teachers wife in a "defective condition" for 35 euro Back eight months ago, the front glass was cracked. it didn't bother me though so i used it until two weeks ago When i dropped it while i was in the city fooling around with an friend and the glass Literary "Shattered" i replaced it for 45 euro on an Ebay Discount, it was great Until last weekend.

Here is where my *story* gets tricky lol. I went to visit my best friends dad with him over the weekend, his father lives so far away from the city that the internet connection is an Modem with about 60kb/s of speed. before i went on i flashed the first ota of jellybean, yet when i at my friends dad's house wanted to use Adhoc from my Laptop (connected through Ethernet) it didn't work, Stock Google's Roms don't find these kind of connections. so i decided to flash back to cm9 which i had on my Internal Memory, it worked fine! i connected to the network i had setup and it went fine all night, then next morning my phone was shut off, even if it had been on the charger all night. so i turned it on and found a screen saying "Encryption Unsuccessful" and a Big fat "reset phone button" I thought it couldn't be that bad. every android has its days so i did what it said but got "Couldn't wipe data" in Clockwork mod's log. I did a full wipe and flashed my zip again, nothing. still the same damn error. i couldn't move files to my sdcard from the memory anymore either, neither formatting it. everytime i made any changes to it and unmounted it everything was back to normal. all the files where back for some funny reason, i searched it up and found some captivate users having the same issue, yet their way of fixing it using odin and stuff is as i know not available for the nexus s.. so i did the probably dumbed thing i could after coming home, i downloaded a zip with the stock nexus everything's, bootloader recovery and whatnot, and then flashed them using fastboot. realizing this hardbricked the device. it doesn't do anything anymore. so when i get home from vacation i try Adam Outler's Resurrector, or whatever its called. i have ubuntu on an netbook at home... Now tell me guys, do you think i can fix my phone again or is this a no-go? I would love to fix it as secondary phone as i Ordered an Galaxy nexus by now.. lol. x)

Will it power on at all?
[Nexus S General] Moonystorm:
Nope, it flashes quickly on the screen when you press the power, like it used to do before powering up, but the storage corruption doesn't seem to be fixable anyways on the nexus s. so i get another nexus s from my teacher himself for a little more money and use the old for replacement parts...

I Odined back to bone stock non rooted. I go to marketplace and download a few apps I need to get back up and running. One is Navigon, which I made a copy of all its downloaded maps and transferred them to my sdcard earlier. Also another app is My Backup Pro, same thing, backed everything up on to my sdcard. Now before I tried to move the maps and backups to the sdcard through the apps themselves, but they wouldnt ever find the sdcard. Now I was going to copy everything back to the internal memory, but the apps find the back ups on their own! I dont need to transfer anything over, its like the apps all of a sudden can use the external card.

Why now? What happened?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rakeshchn:
Many times apps that need additional data don't really get rid of it from the internal storage even after uninstalling the app. I guess the data was retained in the internal storage through ur rom change and so the apps are just able to find it. But its really annoying that certain apps don't get rid of all associated data during uninstallation.

Go back to recovery, go to wipe menu, wipe everything on the list except for SD-Card atleast 2x, reflash the rom, wipe cache and dalvik cache again, then reboot and you should be on your homescreen in less than 5 mins, if it continues to boot loop pull the battery and just reboot it and see if it will boot on the 2nd try if not try flashing a different rom, or restore the backup you made*hopefully you followed the directions and made one*
