[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tntgdh:
Why guys. first of all thanks everyone from the forum.i'm learning a lot here.

My question is about the sandisk 64 gb micro sd card. I bought one on amazon (sold on there by Superior Electronics Outlet).

the card arrived and never really worked properly. The phone didn't reconize it. I frmated the card on the phone and on windows and still no go.

I could see it on minitool partition wizard but not on windows. Tried everything humanly possible. created partitions, formated, but still no go.

i was able to copy some data to it once when it almost worked, but again it didn't work on the phone. my old cards work normaly.

So i gave up and filled on amazon for return of the card and filed an A-to-z Guarantee claim.

Have any of you had a problem like that ? what are my changes of getting a refund ?

really don't want to waste the 80 bucks i paid on it.

:eek:

Thanks

Some SD is just faulty from fabric.shouldn't be any problem to get a refund or changed to new one.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sak500:
How much did you pay for? Some Chinese guys' were selling 64gb on ebay for 16$ and many people bought on this forum but so far only 1 person received it and he says it's fine.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MeX_DK:
I had issues getting my 64GB card working in mg SGS3 as well. Not until I actually put something on it would my phone detect it and tell me the card was "unknown" and offering me to format it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tntgdh:
I paid 80 dollars on amazon. It's an american company that sells throught amazon.

I just started buying there so i am really hopping that they refund me or send me a new card.

The strange thing is that it almost worked one time...but then without a reason, it died again.

I googled a little and seems that amazon is easy on refunds.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oneinch:
you may format you card as exfat ,then try again?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tntgdh:
i already did. Somehow the card won't alow itself to be written. I can create partitions but never formated completly without erros.

i managed to use chkdsk on it at it had lost chains in every cluster on the card. Since it cannot be writen nothing can be done.

I'm worried about time. so far no news from amazon or the seller....and i filled the complain on the very next day the card arrived.

2) This is not a stock Galaxy S III I9300 boot animation. This is a custom animation that was made for the SGS2, and was ported (png size increased) for the SGS3.

**Edit**

Attached is my version of this bootanimation.zip, in which I removed the white lettering of SGS3. Also, added a 5 sec wait before animation starts, to better help with sound file matching up... don't know if this was fixed in the newer zip the OP posted.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SpecRek9:
HI mates,

I'm searching for a link/doc/manual on how to install the latest Franco Kernel to my JB 4.1.1 GN, I've read several posts and couldnt find a guide on how to do it; also I found this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1367341, but no guide on how or what kernel to install.

Please I'd appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks a lot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simms22:
if its a zip file, flash it in recovery. if its an img file, flash it in fastboot. until you do a bit more reading and educating yourself, i dont think that youre ready quiet yet. but, thats your choice. just be careful when asking for help in the franco kernel thread without first educating yourself :silly:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SpecRek9:
Meaning, I just copy the a zipped franco kernel to 'sdcard' on my GN and install it from CWM Recovery and that's it? It'll boot on the new kernel? It reminded me when I had HTC running xdandroid, everything was smooth and easy :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simms22:
yup, thats it. unless its in a .img form, since francisco likes to do that sometimes. if its in .img form, then you need to fastboot flash it.you have a nexus now, its the easiest to modify :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SpecRek9:
Well, I installed Milestone 4 and after installing it I sent it to reboot and it's now frozen on the 'Google' initial screen, should I allow sometime to the Kernel to read the hardware and stuff or its just screwed :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simms22:
was it in zip or boot.img form? maybe it was a bad download. to get back up, either flash a known good kernel or just reflash your rom(in recovery). it shouldnt take more than a minute to pass google.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SpecRek9:
Its was an ok zip file, how can I access recovery mode? I used to access trough a program called QuickBoot, but since I can't access the userland anymore, how can I access it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lesicnik1:
Hold the volume keys and then the power key to enter the bootloader

Then use volume up or down to navigate to Recovery and hit the power key.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simms22:
pull your battery then reinsert it. then power button + press in between the high and low volume at the same time. this will take you to the bootloader, then chose recovery. anyways, you should give trinity kernel a spin.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lesicnik1:
+1 for Trinity kernel.

Especially now that I got used to the default color setting. :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SpecRek9:
Ok that worked, I flashed Milestone5 and now it's booting with message (Android is upgrading ::: Optimizing app XY from 108) :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simms22:
yup, that is right. its just rebuilding your dalvik cache now. after it rebuilds it, itll finish booting :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SpecRek9:
The first and foremost reason to change kernel for me was battery draining, I will try this M5 for a week or less and later on will try Trinity, thanks a bunch mates :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SpecRek9:
Hi mates, what's wiping dalvik cache? Should I have done that? Should I do it?I have Franco milestone 5 installed and working properly I guess.

Can anyone give me a good solution for mirroring my android screen on my big screen tv? I've tried using MirrorOP and cloning my screen to a PC laptop and then plugging that in via HDMI to my big screen TV. Two problems there; one, it lags and two, it won't rotate to landscape mode.

Oops Bluetooth Bug von CM 10 from 17082012

I can not connect to my Hama Boombox anymore...

If i chose the BoomBox in the BT-Overview of my Galaxy S, there comes an error message (pin incorrect, or something like this). The Boombox needs no pin and accepts every bt-player (you cannot enter a pin there)....

Is there a solution ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] durikmel:
One thing I'm concerned about is that ext4 (which is a filesystem that loves to constantly rewrite the same sectors on the block device due to journaling and using inode tables) is used on the onenand flash, which does not have hardware wear levelling. It might be fast, but it is also fast in destroying your flash memory now.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] joebob296:
I have a Verizon Galaxy S3 and I am trying to use Adams linux tool to unlock it. I just installed Ubuntu 12.04 on my laptop and got ADB to recognize my phone. I downloaded the tool extracted it, opened it nothing ran so I found the file Root GS3 with DebugFSRoot in Scripts I opened that and then clicked on adb.exe and got this error.

Archive: /home/eric/.cache/.fr-97pmjP/adb.exe

Zip file size: 191488 bytes, number of entries: 33758

[/home/eric/.cache/.fr-97pmjP/adb.exe]:

Zipfile is disk 58485 of a multi-disk archive, and this is not the disk on

which the central zipfile directory begins (disk 30091).

I am completely lost on how to fix it. I am still learning Ubuntu and am familiarizing myself with the system. For some reason when excuting adb commanding I have to put ./ in front of every command or it will not recognize the command. I tried following a guide which would update a source file so I would not need ./ Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] joebob296:
No one used Adams tool? Or even offer a link to something to help me out?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] egore93:
Just download the app its in the play store it will unlock your boot loader. Its simple! If you are trying to root your phone also the you will have to use Adams tool if you chose. You will also need java JDK 6.XX. If you look in development you will see other ways to root also and a link to the app for boot loader
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] joebob296:
Yea I have java installed my laptop also recognizes my phone over adb so I know java is working and installed in the right place I also set my path variable. I know there is an app and there is a windows version, but I'm trying to get used to using linux.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] egore93:
Gotcha, I don't use linux. How is it? I might try it out.

---------- Post added at 03:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:51 PM ----------

I did download it. I decided to try windows when I used Adams.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] athensjohn:
Ubuntu

I used to use Ubuntu a great deal until I needed Word to write my dissertation. I tried to use Adam's tool in Ubuntu as well and eventually gave up and went back to Windows. For some reason, the tool always said I had a good connection to my phone event when I unplugged my phone from the cable. My computer obviously was not recognizing the phone properly. Since I have been back on Windows for a few years, I just decided to follow the idiots guides out there and just get it done.

Here are a few stupid errors I made:

1. I did not have java runtime environment installed. I simply went to the software store that comes with Ubuntu, searched for java, and installed it.

2. I did not make the .jar file executable. I just clicked on the file, went into properties, and chose the make it executable option.

This at least got the program to run rather than exploring the file .jar file for what it included in it.

As I am sure you know, the Ubuntu forums are a wealth of information. I could have searched there for answers, but I decided to take an easier path. Of course, Adam's program didn't work for me under windows either so I just used a different method. Good luck and I hope you get it working for you in Ubuntu.

please if any one knows this problem tell me what to do about it ????? and will be thank full for him
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ranger4740:
If its not charging the battery but the the phone is getting really hot I think you got a big issue, it really needs to go to the phone doctor for a checkup. It sounds like something in the charging system is broken.

It might be the charger itself, have you tried charging it from a different source like a PC or any other device with USB connectivity like a smart TV or bluray?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] ashenriot:
I got the ICS update on my Galaxy Tab 7.0 plus and now Google Search does not return results from the local device and Searchable Items is no longer an option in the Google Search settings menu. So now I can't search for contacts, music, apps etc except by going to those individual apps. This is highly annoying. I've read I can root and sideload Google Now but voice search isn't working on it yet.

I know this is specifically a Samsung thing as my HOS still has it as do all my other android devices. The Google Search app in the Play store still allows local device searching but I can't download it (incompatible device?!?!)

Are there any third party apps that can get this functionality back?

Are any work arounds available?

I think they are updating most of the apps for the latest ICS firmware, a few days ago Ebooks app was disabled and this morning I got an update from Play Store (previously it was saying that was not compatible in my country) and TA-DA!, it's working now.

I recommend you to wait a little, maybe a few days....

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dunderball:
If I'm not big on flashing roms at the moment, is there any good reason to unlock the bootloader? The only benefit I've read so far is that booting up is a bit faster.

Also, seeing as how rooting and unrooting is pretty easy without the use of odin/flashing, is there a way to re-lock the bootloader without odin (in case an OTA update comes along the way)?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ExodusC:
Any OTAs that come along are likely to break the insecure bootloader.

If you ever intend to use custom ROMs I would suggest not accepting any OTAs regardless.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NeoMagus:
Download ez unlock from the market to lock and re-lock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lowg:
To answer your question, there is no reason unless you want to flash a ROM with a custom kernel (eg CM or AOKP).

You can backup your bootloader and restore using terminal / dd, and I think some of 'one click' tools also are doing this now sounds like.
