In theory, if you have another camera app installed, it should ask you which app you want to use for that specific action. But that does not happen.

I've got a dock for my Fassy in each car, and docking it flips it to landscape mode, and since I've got mine running at 800mhz, its not the fastest to do all the operations when undocking. When someone calls me, I've got no chance at answering.

The solution? Snip your cables! Just drill a hole in the back so you can use a screw driver to pry off the back plate. Then snip all the cables except the black and red ones. Now you'll have a charge only dock, no resistors to tell the phone its in a dock. I couldn't find a software solution or a kernel hack.

While I was in there, I installed a bolt so I could bolt it to my dashboard.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Unknownforce:
So I installed this app called Lite Flow, it allows you to control the LED color and whatnot of different notifications... Well I don't like it... and I uninstalled it... well now I have NO Notification LED's... Anyone know where this is stored? And yes, I've gone into my apps and ensured that the notifications are enabled. I still get the tray and vibration and sound, just no LED... I've also gone into LED Indicators and Enabled the options in there... still no luck. I've tried disabling them, rebooting and then re-enabling then and rebooting again... I know the LED works, because I can re-install the app and use them still and the blue light comes on when rebooting, but the LED doesn't do anything for ANY notification anymore... :(

Ideas?

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] INFINI7E:
Hi. I recently flashed and rooted my Xperia Arc from Rogers to ICS I was quite proud of myself and spent an entire day. Anyways long story short. I've had a few issues since then.

1. My keyboard settings seem to stay the same (EG: I keep having things spell checked even if I change the settings and save them)

2. I have a notification that says "Internet & MMS Settings Could not download. Tap here to try again."

I have a feeling they are connected.

So. From what i have learned from other threads and people experiencing this issue it means my APN settings are all out of whack because of the flash to ICS. I finally hunted down the APN settings I need from Rogers on their website. And as I was entering this in. Settings crashed.

"Unfortunately, Settings has stopped" I have restarted my phone numerous times and experimented with wi-fi and data being turned off/on. Nothing is helping me with the crash.

I just now also factory reset my phones settings.

How do I get rid of this error so that I may fix the problem I had to begin with?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] INFINI7E:
Also... The error for internet settings disapeered...

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] INFINI7E:
Seriously though. I don't see how re-flashing and rooting will help me T_T. If I end up with the exact same "Could not download internet & mms" settings stuff again.

after you reflash your settings will not crash when you go to the apn setting

then you have to manually enter the internet settings

For what its worth, whenever I'm flashing a new rom ( which is like most weekends) I keep a few screen shots on my sd card of my apn settings.

I am in need of the PIT file for a SCH-I535 32Gb version.

Anyone willing/able to rip one for me? My 32Gb phone got JTAG'd back to life but using files from a 16Gb version, so it's kinda confused as to how much internal storage it has. I'm hoping I can flash the PIT from a 32Gb phone, then do a reinstall of the ROM and it'll recognize all of my available storage....

Thanks for your help!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] letinsh:
aight, darkyy's method won't work as /dev/mount/bml2 (or any of the bml's) doesn't exist on the GS3. I think I posted without knowing enough info.

I don't know where the PIT file's located on the GS3, and whether it's a function of the phone or the OS (ie ICS vs Gingerbread). I didn't have time over the weekend to look into it, too much. Going to look on that i9300 thread posted and also try to learn a little about Heimdall, as I've only ever used Odin.

To sum up:

Goal is to have a .pit file for SCH-I535 for both the 16Gb and 32Gb versions.

Needed:

I don't know enough about Android/SGS3 to know where the .pit is located. Once that's determined, we'll figure out how to extract it and make a functional flash.

Sorry for the false start, still learning here.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] letinsh:
What I was saying is that /dev/block/bml2 doesn't exist in our file structure on this phone.

As you can see, no bml's of any kind.

I don't know if that's because darkyy was messing with a GB version of Android, or because the phone (Samsung) has put the PIT file in a different location. I've got a PM out to Odia from that I9300 thread and he should have some helpful info as to where it's stored and how to get it.

Stay tuned.

So, from this, we know it's not any of the mmcblk0p1 through mmcblk0p23 partitions.

If you notice, partition 1 starts 4Mb into storage. I think the PIT is located somewhere in the first 4Mb, but I don't know what memory addresses/file to look under to grab it.... is it in one of the other locations listed above under /dev/block ? Is it in /dev/block/mmcblk0/ ? I just don't know....

After looking at Heimdall, the tool has an option to rip the PIT, but I haven't been able to get it to recognize my SGS3. I've tried both 1.3.2 and 1.3.1

Once that's ripped, can we flash it using Odin in the PIT field? Or do we have to use Heimdall to to put it back?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] trafalger888:
Heimdall has never been able to recognize my phone...and I was looking somewhere and the developer said it wasn't working and to try 1.3.1 which was not successful either. I had to borrow a computer to use Odin...I know this isn't a solution for getting heimdall to work but I personally don't think it will...if you do get it to work the steps you took would be appreciated
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] joka10:
We can use either or I thin for odin you flash using repartition checked and placing it in the pda field but it will allow us to flash with heimdall using that pit since it can't find the one on the phone. Lastly internal flash /dev/block/mmcblk0 becomes /dev/block/mmcblk1 is what i have found so it looks like either im wrong or it has to be one of the 24 blocks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hero:
Can someone with a working 32 run this in a Terminal? It should pull the PIT from your phone and place it in the SD card. I'm sure those with a 16gb would love to have their PIT file as well.

Odin did recognize the pit file though. 16gb posted above me
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] letinsh:
I do know that once you flash a pit, you need to re-flash your ROM, as the ROM is put into memory at the time of flashing based on the PIT, so just flashing the PIT won't change anything by itself...

If these files were grabbed from /dev/block/mmcblk0, I don't know they're the right data (if that's the location of the S4 PIT file). That command given earlier by PureMotive was used for the International I9300....a totally different chipset....

Try flashing the pit then reflashing the rom and let us know how it worked...

....can't tell if kidding or not....

No, only having more memory will make your phone have more memory. I have a 32Gb S3. It got bricked, then JTAG'd back to life with a 16Gb PIT file, so the phone only thinks it has 16Gb of memory, even though it physically has 32Gb of memory....I'm looking for a 32Gb PIT file so my phone sees all the available memory it has....

Where is this 16 gb pit file now? Lots of us are looking for it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] joka10:
just in case this helps anyone but:

1.) flash only the right size of your phone since the pit file tells your phone its memory size and so on so you don't want to have the wrong one lol

2.) when you use the above command you should get a pit.bin file that is the great pit file everybody has been looking for. Rename it to whatever you like but make sure it has .pit at the end and you all set to flash in odin.

3.) Also as the above posters said you probably should flash this with a rom or something it will make the process a little easier but you can flash it with out.

4.) Lastly but most importantly If your phone is not bricked then you have no reason to flash this because it won't help you and it can actually cause your phone more damage. This file is only for those who get errors while booting up and have already tried odin or wiping and flashing a new zip.

With that thank you to everybody who helped and is still helping and as always if your flashing anything with odin please ask questions

these were grabbed by running this from a root shell on the device:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/out.pit bs=8 count=481 skip=2176

The PIT is signed now, so we need to pull the signature. According to Ralekdev, we cannot have any padding on the end (hence the messed up command to pull it)

This should pull exactly what we need (not tested yet)

EDIT: Another morsel of information, I pulled the PIT from an AT&T 16gb SGS3 and it was exactly the same except for the signature at the end. This is actually expected but just a confirmation that the two PITs above WILL NOT work on any other device.

To understand a little bit better what's the difference between the pits flashed using the first dd command as opposed to the new one that you wrote.
