[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] surendra_aggarwal:
I bought Samsung Galaxy S3 2 weeks ago. Windows installed the drivers for it when first connected to my Windows 7 64 bit PC. It came up in the list of Devices on the Explorer. I installed "Kies_2.5.0.12094_28_8" which installed USB driver on top of the Windows driver. At the end of the installation, it gave "failure to install Samsung MTP driver".

Saw a thread on other forum where it was suggested to remove the driver from System Driver window under Control Tab/System and reboot. To be cautious, uninstalled Kies. Rebooted PC. Windows installed the driver. As soon as Kies was installed the whole issue unfolded again.

Looks like ALL Kies versions (including previous version of Kies_v2.3.3.12085_7_5) have incompatible and wrong driver which is resulting in this unresolvable situation.

I removed the MTP driver (control panel/system/device manager - MTP driver has ? mark - this is the one). Then removed the phone and rebooted PC. After reboot, connected the phone back. Windows detected the device and automatically installed the driver. The device is listed in Explorer and is fully accessible. Started Kies. It showed the device as GT-I9300. It took a while and connected to the phone. All functions became useable. Sync'ed the contacts etc.

Day2. Booted the PC. Device is still shown in Explorer. Kies shows GT-I9300 and then displays "Connecting Device" - IT FAILS TO CONNECT and on pressing "Trouble shooting" button, it re-installs its own drivers and fails to install MTP driver AGAIN" - the Kies software SUCKS

Solved! For real!

For some reason, any of those options helped me to make it work:

- Reinstall Windows Media Player

- Remove registry key

- Clean up old usb drivers

- re-install 100 times drivers from Verizon, Samsung. Even old versions.

- Install from Windows Update. I tried to do that 1000 times. Gosh!

- enable UMT access (mass storage) on the phone.

The only thing that worked was, for some reason , getting the drivers from a random computer that was the only computer that worked.

Windows 7 x64

Attached the files. Go to the devices manager and update the drivers.

How I solved it :)

1. Un-install Samsung Kies and USB drivers

2. Then install the Install Samsung Usb driver for mobile phones version 1.4.6.0

3. with phone un-pluged from the usbcable Go into settings/Developer Options un-check Stay Awake un-check USB debugging un-check Allow mock locations Now hit the HOME button then plug in the USB cable and your are set..

This worked perfectly painless for me :laugh:

[Microsoft Surface] onesterud:
My understanding is that the Surface tablet will be delivered with the colored keyboard which snaps on with magnetism.

Do you think this keyboard will be available with nordic char layout at the first release? Maybe MS will release it only in the US first and then later on to Europe?

When im running english ROMs in my android device (with virtual keyboard) it's possible to download one with nordic letters, but this is not possible for a hardware keyboard, obviously...

I think it's pretty much not worth it to have the english layout, and therefore i can't order it from the US if it will be announced over there first. I wonder how many months after the US release Europe have to wait if that's the case?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Lock-N-Load:
Been following the dev over on his blog that makes Light Flow. When the USA version of the SGS3 came out, it busted Light Fow (you can read the blog for full details). He just pushed version 3.0.5 to the market that

for root users

, should work all except flashing LED (except for red, blue). So, if your not rooted, it still will not work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tonu42:
YAY great news!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] trafalger888:
Just saw this in the play store ha've you tried it yet?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tonu42:
Yea, its a bit glitchy still. I wouldnt say its fixed 100% yet. But its usable for text messages and missed calls etc.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Lock-N-Load:
using it now. done several tests and all has worked so far for me. my colors are showing correct. my notifications are all firing. it cycles through multiple notifications (like when you get a MMS, email and missed call) from the tests I have done. I had some initial issues (lag) when I first installed it, but all seems fine now.

before it was 100% unusable, you can read why in the blog, now it is like 98% usable. The big bummer is that only like red and blue can flash, every other color has to be solid. But the dev claims with LED, this has minimal to no battery effect - which I kind of find hard to believe.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lexluthor:
So I guess we get to talk about this in quadruplicate in each one of the carrier forums?

I hope Samsung gets around to explaining the non-stardard notification system they decided to use in the US version.

Anyhow, seems to be working fairly well for me. The one thing I noticed is that, with some notifications, it initially comes on as a different color than chosen in light flow, but then a split second later, the light flow color comes on and stays.

Is it first using the color baked in to the app and then light flow is taking over quickly after that? Anyone else noticed that? Any way to have that not happen (though it's not in a big deal).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Lock-N-Load:
Yes I now admit I have seen this glitch also but I had not yet determined if it is as you say it or if it was firing the last color used then firing your desired color. I think your logic is the issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andrewpmoore:
Make sure you switch off all the "led indicators" in the phone settings otherwise it'll be fighting against the default notifications.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lexluthor:
Do you mean the 3 items I have indeed led indicators in phone settings or should I also go into each app that i have light flow notifications set up for and disable any options for led notifications that each app might have?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Lock-N-Load:
I only did the 3 led indicator items in phone settings, I did not go into each individual app and turn off notifications and so I have no redundant notifications. We give Light Flow the power to take over those notifications.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sageDieu:
read up on how much power a single LED consumes and you will believe it just fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mpetruzz:
I'm still not getting light flow to work. When I put my phone to sleep I am getting a green light that stays on. The only thing I am using light flow for is to turn off my notification light during "sleep mode" at select times.

Has anyone else had this issue?? How'd ya fix it of you did??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tu3218:
New to the sgs3 guys. light flow worked great on my nexus an not gonna root quite yet. Is there any other ways to control the led for text messages?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mpetruzz:
I figured out how to get rid of the green light staying on. Even though you grant light flow root access you need to check the box that asks for root access in the app as well.

Working find so far!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cgulliver:
I wonder why flashing LED support is limited to only 2 colors.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AdamHLG:
It's not by choice. Getting the LED to blink with consistency was a major challenge. So the blinking was removed (for now - but Andrew the dev is amazing so he will get it without too much more delay).

However there are a few inherent bits of code in the OS to make the LED blink for certain colors/patterns and those are the limited blinks you can pick.

I was a beta tester so I watched how this progressed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mpetruzz:
I thought this app was all good for me, but it's still not working. I can't get the sleep mode to work. I set it up to turn off all notifications at night but they're still coming on.

I cannot get this to work no matter what I try!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dpwhitty11:
Is blue the only color we can get to pulse, or will more come over time?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] CrzzyLegz:
What Can You Do?

I've never used Light Flow before but have been considering purchasing the app. Can anyone tell me what setup they use Light Flow (ie which color for which)?

I guess I'm asking for someone to pitch me the product! I'm interested in it but hesitant on what LED notifications I would use besides the defaults.

Thanks!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] omgi0wn:
My only thing is the colors don't really look a solid color at all? You can kind of see the led trying to make the colors but only blue green and red are solid colors.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dpwhitty11:
Well, yeah.... that's how colors are made lol. RGB color combination and all that :P
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cgulliver:
Yeah I expect that was a challenge. I came from a BlackBerry where LED notification is one of the few things done flawlessly. Glad Andrew is running with this but I do feel let down by Samsung for poor software execution on LED on the GS3. Hopefully the hardware is sound.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tu3218:
I'm Confused, so can we change the color for each type of notification? I was gonna root solely to you use this app.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
The original intention was yes, that was supposed to be the case. However, Samsung's firmware caused issues so the app "works" if you're rooted. This is confirmed by the dev on their website. At this moment, the app is more functional once you are rooted. I'm buying the app once the developer has been able to work out the kinks in due time.

Edit: Anyone interested, you can follow the progress here:

www.folioflow.com/ff/page/website/lightflow/pageId/1826
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tu3218:
You say it's more functional once rooted, so I take it its somewhat functioning if not rooted? My primary use is a "always on" cyan blue color led light up when I get a text. Other then that it's not a big deal.

But thanks for the explanation.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dpwhitty11:
Without root there is a constant green on, I believe.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] escknx:
With root green light disappears but with all other lights =/

On GS3 Tmob

I used to white light on sms, so with root checked when I receive 1 sms it is white, but when i receive second sms while first didn't open yet light changes to blinking green.

Hey Guys,

i am coming from galaxy spica (after 2,5 year of rooting) now i have bought galaxy note in Austria with simlock.

So i have make a root, use apk Galaxy_S Unlock and back unroot (i have still 1,5 year garanty, but i am not sure after this unlocking :)

I had kernel unrootable LA4,

so 1. I made via odin SGN_XX_OXA_KJ1_FACTORYFS

2. CFROOt_for_kernel_KJ1.rar

3. CF-Root-SGN_XX_OXA_LA4-v5.0-CWM5.zip

5. unroot via DooMLoRD_v1_UNROOTING

but what i dont understand (on galaxy spica was jut froy 2.2 and many difrent kernel or mod)

how or which version of kernel i can put now?

I would like to update on 4.0.4 (first 2.3.6) via kies or OTA doesnt work. I would like to keep without root.

Now i am downloading 2.3.6. - N7000XXKKA_N7000OXXKK5_ATO.zip but after reading many thereads i am not sure if i can put any kernel on KJ1?

Thank you for a little explanation.

I would like to know if on kernel KL1 (2.3.5) is possible to put any kernel ??? (4.0.4) ?

Go back to stock GB ROM using PC odin.Instructions are in dr.ketan's thread.

Update via Kies or flash stock ICS 4.0.4 using PC Odin again.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msedek:
What a mess..

Go back to stock gb.. Then flash any known ics safe kernel (notecore/speedmod) via odin(you already gotta have the custom rom in your sd so once the phone restart go straight to cwm and wipe/data/cache/dalvik) recovery keys are volume up+power+home

Then flash any desired(custom) rom after that run triangle away to get rid of the yellow triangle and that's it(encourage you to try cleanote rom its super fast and as close to stock as posible with Notecore kernel) the phone flies and battery its great

Stock its laggy and loaded with crap and the stock kernels are unsafe to wipe/factory reset due to the Emmc brick bug..

Avoid stock kernels as much as you would avoid walking through shyt
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bonumy:
Thank you guys,

i have already stock rom 4.0.4 LRG opened germany kernel, everthing is working. I would like to stay with this stock room and wait for official JB.

If will JB be not better than mayby a root. But I need my phone for use not for playing. Like my old Spica. Always was something wrong. So many many kernels or mod.

Just of what am i disappointed its battery live. My tread here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1830995

I tried all off, like sync. but still one day of very light use it not good.

Maybe will i have to make a root and wipe all... :-/

Hi

Just got a hp touchpad with a feb build of cm9 - updated to the latest nightly and flashed the latest gapps but still no sound - i seen there was a audiolib fix available through goomanager -> browse other files but that is no longer in jcscullins folder?

The volume slider works but just shows as muted on the right am i missing something to enable sound?

In settings -> sound the alarm slider makes a noise from the speaker but video games music and other media is muted?

I thought the lastest nightly had this fix incorporated already?

Just wanted to know from current SGS3 owners who have had past experiences with SGS2 as to how the battery currently holds up in comparison. I am looking into getting the phone with either Rogers or Bell and would prefer some insight on this from you guys.

Is it significantly improved and if so which ROM and Kernel combo currently leads the way? Any sfeedback would be appreciated. Sorry of this has been asked plenty of times before but I figured its a new phone and is a costly acquisition so why not enquire with the good folks over at xDA.

CM 9 nightly

I did not have the S II. However, I have the SIII and have not had ANY problems with battery life while using the CM 9 nightly since 7/25/2012.

I play a decent amount of chess, probably talk for at least an hour, use the browser, take pictures and upload them to dropbox for notes, text etc throughout the day. You would have to be a significant power user to drain it, or play a lot of games.

Sorry I can't compare to SII.

Download mihome from the play store. You dont have to use the launcher if you dont want to, but it also installs milocker. Use this to select a vareity of lockscreen themes, I am sure you can find one in the app or on XDA and import I think. Good luck.

Stock App and a Lockscreen Shortcut

To do this without coding, you could use this app and then change the lockscreen shortcut to this messaging app. Then, when you get a notification, you hit the lockscreen shortcut to this stock messaging app and then select the message. One more press of the screen to get similar functionality from the stock app. That's what I do.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Killer95Stang:
Just finished replacing my cracked glass / digitizer, but now my previously working LCD just shows vertical colored lines. I bought one of the glass / digitizer replacements from Ebay, which was a perfect match for the OEM piece. Since I was having trouble finding the thin double sided tape, I used black silicone adhesive to bond the LCD to the digitizer. When I plugged in LCD panel and turned the tablet on, all I get is vertical varying colored lines across the LCD. I've pressed the on /off switch for 10 seconds to reboot the device, but it still does the same thing. I've taken the ribbon cable off and on checking to see if was not properly seated, but it seems to be okay. Any ideas?

The ribbon cable had a 90 degree bend in it after it was removed... can that cause an internal cut in the cable itself? At least to me, it appears that the LCD is working, since the lines are bright in color and even change as you manipulate the digitizer... it just has no picture.

Thanks..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chamberc:
90 degree bends can cause one or more of the individual conductors to become broken. I've had it happen on hard drive cables, and one inside a sprinkler system once.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Killer95Stang:
Any way to actually test this? Can use a voltmeter type tester to check continuity from one side of each pin to the other? They are hair like in size, so not sure the standard tests are the same.

Thanks..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Killer95Stang:
I was in the same boat as you... after I took apart the unit, I still had a functioning screen... but when I went further to separate the LCD from the digitizer, I must have damaged the LCD. Right now all I get are vertical colored lines. I need to get an HDMI cable so I can check the function of the digitizer.. It seems to work, because I do get color changes when its manipulated, but no image. Damm.. problem is... how much good money do I spend on a damaged device.. At this point, I wish I just sent it in to get fixed by Asus..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ThomasKJ:
I'm not sure that your LCD is broken. It might just be the connection to the motherboard that is bad as chamberc said. I had the same problem with my broken screen. I had to wiggle the cable to get a partial correct picture on my screen. I tried to clean the pads without getting a 100% stable connection so I might have broken the flex cable as well, but normally these are relatively good at flexing without braking (they are made to do that) so I tend to think that it is the connection in the connector.

Until I figure out what to do with the touch screen I have not spend more time on root casuing it, but I suggest that you try to take the flex out of the connector and clean it with either a erasor or a cloth with alcohol and then gently put it back into the connector. Also ensure that you put it in the right way and close the hatch properly.

Good luck.

On the touch screen issue, my touch screen is working fine it JUST has a reverted x-axis, so it would still cause your colors to change, so I'm very curious if yours is working. Could you also share the touch screen part number (printed on the flex cable) and TF201 hardware version (TF201-1B or TF201-1I or???) This should be written on the label of the box and on the warrenty card.

The background for me asking about this, is that asusparts.eu has different spare parts depending on if is for TF201-1B or TF201-1I so there might be two versions of the hardware out there. Mine is a TF201-1B.

On a 32GB Verizon version GS3, when I go to settings > storage, under miscellaneous files, it show "system memory" to be 5.74GB, I looked at an unrooted 16GB version, and system memory was only 3.49GB, of my total 5.8GB miscellaneous files, about 60mb is other files and applications, and the remainder says "5.74GB system memory".

Why is it so much higher on a 32GB vs. 16GB? I mean the system files should not be proportional to internal storage space, right? I don't have a lot of apps, and I have in fact removed a bunch of original system apps, it tells me I have only about 300 mb of /system space available, how is this possible?

I have flashed rooted images from Odin a couple of times, restored NAND about 20 times or more, and rooted via adb once or twice from stock unrooted. Is all this fragmenting the /system partition? Should I format /system next time I'm in recovery? If so, my pc doesn't seem to recognize the phone in recovery when connected. Do I need different drivers to connect while in recovery, so I can mount and format /system? I can format /data and /cache easily in recovery, and when I had my old HTC Evo 4G, I could connect the phone while in cwm and format /system, but I can't on an SGS3. Is there another easy way to format /system before restoring a NAND backup to truly start from scratch on a clean system partition?

Thank you
