[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] squiggie:
That is caused by toggling the GPS from on to off. If you toggle GPS, reboot and that should resolve it. I hope Samsung resolves this in the next update (if/when that comes, lol).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] y2jasper:
This sounds like the gsiff_daemon bug. It tends to eat like half your battery, and at least for me it would cause a freezing loop on startup unless I followed specific steps. If you Google gsiff_daemon you should see another xda topic on it. I don't think anyone knows for sure what it is supposed to do, but renaming that system file seems to resolve the issue with no other discernable issues coming up. I did this a few days ago and since then have had no issues
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cell128:
Thanks for the help i did have a couple of freezes last night where it would kill all my apps and u had to wait a few minutes before my phone could become usable again. I never had this happen before so I thought It might be kernel related. I renamed the file see if that helps me and toggled the GPS on and off
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cell128:
Where would I disable this? I think I might have erased or frozen piazza I can't find a settings under the gallery app or anything under accounts and sync
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Good call!

I was talking to the other guy. Your phone is possessed! Either that or you restored data from back up that overwrote the dat a in Set CPU, etc.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] skiddingus:
Go to "system settings" and then "accounts and sync". Select your gmail account and you should have a huge list of "stuff" to sync or not. One of them will probably be picasa. I have never used picasa but it must create an account if you have used Google+ or auto upload at some point. I dunno.

I'm reflashing CleanRom2.0 tonight. I'll report the results. I have not restored any system data but I do use TiBu for a couple games. I didn't even have a backup of SetCpu or Antutu.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Do you have the pay version of Set CPU?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] skiddingus:
Yes

---------- Post added at 05:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:44 PM ----------

Well, I reflashed the ROM (only a dirty flash this time) and then reflashed the kernel. My max CPU available is still only 1512. I even tried enabling and disabling the power saving. It seems that no matter what I do, my phone will not under/overclock. Are there any other overclocked kernels compatible with Clean2.0? Maybe I'll try one to see if they all have the same problem it on my phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Dirty flashing just replaces what is already there. If you want to flash you have to Clean flash and test.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] HTC_Phone:
Alright here's the deal. I was walking today and my phone slipped from my hands and onto the ground, thus cracking the screen. I bought the phone on July 25, which is 29 days from today. Tomorrow (August 24) will be the 30th day. Technically, I'm allowed to enroll in mobile insurance within 30 days of my purchase date, which will be tomorrow. I plan on going in the morning to enroll in insurance, and then request a new phone.

Any tips or pointers I need to insure that ATT follows through with allowing me the insurance and buying the replacement for $200?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] lazarat:
Call them do not show them the phone and you can enroll anytime bit i think you gotta wait 30 days after enrollment in order to file a claim
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] HTC_Phone:
After I enroll, I'll probably just go to the ATT store and see what they say. Because having a broken phone sucks, especially to this degree. I didn't see anywhere saying you had to wait 30 days, but who knows. If I show the phone, they won't let me enroll. I was having my dad (Whos the account holder) enroll me tomorrow morning before I go in.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] lazarat:
Id just try to sell it for 250-300 then pay early termination fee to att and then open a new line and get the hox since now its price has dropped a lot. At least this eay u wont end up with a refurbished phone
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Gwraith:
Just look online for a replacement screen. Then youtube the replacement. I haven't looked at the steps my self but If were a betting man I would say a heat gun and a jeweler screwdriver would be all you need.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] lazarat:
It is difficult to replace this phone's screen because it is attached to something. Iknow a guy he replaced the screen but ended up breaking the volume key
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] HTC_Phone:
AT&T claimed it would be insurance fraud, so I had to call HTC and send it in to them. No idea how much that's gonna cost.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
Other users have said it's around 200 bucks.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] HTC_Phone:
That's what I've heard, which is what ATT would've charged for the insurance claim
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
it almost makes sense to add a dummy line for $10 bucks a month and pick up a refurbed one for $20
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] HTC_Phone:
True. Only problem is its my dad's line (I'm 19:P) And then we'd have to cancel a line.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
the good thing is, you'll get YOUR phone back and HTC will repair it right.

Sorry this happened. it sucks. :(
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] lazarat:
Can you make phone calls with your phone or it does not turn on?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] HTC_Phone:
Yes, everything works except for the fact that the glass is shattered and bits are falling out. I guess that means it might be cheaper since its just the outer glass, but I'd rather HTC charge a little more and fix it all right.

I'm glad I'll get MINE back, and that everything will be fixed correctly through HTC. Plus its not a super long trip from MO (My location) to Texas (HTC)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
Until you get it replaced or whatever, cover the screen with a screen protector, or better yet, some clear packing take. Don't risk getting injured!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ws2112:
just dropped mine too, the screen was shattered. but I've had it for over 3 months. so who should I contact? At&t or HTC? I know that I'm probably in for an expensive repair already :(
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] HTC_Phone:
If you bough insurance when you got the phone, ATT. They will charge you $200 for the deductible.

If not, go HTC. They will charge around $220 (From reports I've heard), basically the same as ATT. You could go somewhere local and get it fixed for cheaper probably.. But I'd rather have HTC do it professionally, cause they'll do it right.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] phidung3721:
Fix it yourself. If you have some skill its only costs you under $20 for glass panel and digitizer. If you aren't sure how to separate the glass panel from LCD. You can buy the whole screen includes LCD for $80 from ebay
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] HTC_Phone:
You could do this. But. I've yet to hear of a single instance where self-repair was successful.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] subarudroid:
Mines cracked as well. I ordered a new screen. Seems like no one out there can confirm that a replacment for sceen only is workable. I'm affraid I've waisted 20 bucks.

I'm going to go ahead and order the LCD and try to just replace the glass first. I'll leave an update in this thread when I find out.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] phidung3721:
I successfully changed only the glass panel on my s2 which everyone said impossible. I have to admit it was a b***ch to fix though. That's why I like HTC better cause they don't glue everything together.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] GalaxyMaster:
Yes they do, or at least they did on the hox. When I did mine I ordered the LCD and digitizer together as c complete unit. On the old one I tried to remove the digitizer from the LCD and ended up with pieces everywhere. So much glue.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] subarudroid:
Let it be known that I tried today to replace just the screen..... IMPOSSIBLE! :( now my hox is down till I get new LCD.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Intub8:

[HTC Sensation] templargfx:
Hi All,

How do I make it so that my phone will not try and connect to the internet via 3G (the signal icon on the status bar has 3G written on it). Whenever my phone switches to 3G, internet doesnt work. this has been a problem for me here in Aus on multiple phones. While the icon says H, internet works awesome but the second it switches to 3G internet stops working until it switches back to H. It wouldnt be too bad, if it wasnt for the fact that the bloody thing switches back and forth every 5 seconds if Im in a good reception area, which is almost all the time.
[HTC Sensation] icanttinkofaname:
Are you rooted/custom ROM? It sounds like it could be a poorly performing radio. Search for the radio/ril thread. You might find some answers there. You can switch your phone to 2G or 3G networks only, but the 3G option also includes H. So even if you left out the 2G you'd still suffer the same issues.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] creepers28:
Ok.. So please excuse my ignorance and enlightened me with some NFC knowledge..

I found NFC setting on my Unrooted Stock T-mobile GNote. I'm hoping that this means that I could potentially use Google Wallet/Isis (if available) and other NFC payment methods. Am I correct?

Can anyone shed more light on this... Will it be available in the future for this device? ... And explain how it works?

Thank you Greatly! :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] peacecorpsteve:
I wondered the same thing, Creepers..... Play Store let me download Google Wallet, but says "Device or carrier not supported at this time" whenever I launch it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] creepers28:
yeah.. i did the same thing last night and found that google wallet is not supported on this device... anyone out there who knows more about this ... ???
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] creepers28:
Really??? No ones knows anything...?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] RoPipo:
I think you must send a message to Samsung or Google, if you want an official application
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] trell959:
Just because a device has NFC doesn't mean it has Google wallet support- and probably will never have support. T-Mobile and at&t aren't opting Google wallet because they want to push ISIS instead.

Thank you for the info and insight... too bad then ...we'll just have to wait it out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] creepers28:
more info

Just got more info... T-Mobile Readies SIM Card Release For ISIS Mobile Wallet ...Unfortunately ISIS is a system that rivals Google Wallet and so GW probably won't be supported for a while until Google really starts to push the Carriers. And Gnote is currently not on the list of phones for T mobile ISIS update so ...hmmm not sure what will happen

[Vibrant General] n0tr1x:
I am looking for a rom on this device to flash for a friend. Jb is hot on dev. However haven't seen any rom which could be a daily driver(with good battery backup).

My friend is not a power user and cannot flash roms daily which is y I am looking for a great lightweight from to be used as a daily driver.

Please suggest which roms according to you are most "stable" in your humble opinions.
[Vibrant General] kxlling:
Just about anything froyo would be the safest bet for battery/stability and everything working.

I'm currently using axura fish/ryder mod and everything works flawless.
[Vibrant General] selmandeli:
+1 I'm with the same Froyo ROM. Everything is just fine.
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
The latest CM9 is worth a try.
[Vibrant General] samsgun357:
Remics (ICS) is a really good ROM. They are currently working on a JB ROM that I'm sure will be great as well. I am running hellybean on both of my devices (daily). Except for GPS,( mine has never worked) it is great. The GPS works flawlessly on my captivate with this ROM. You might have better luck with it. Check hellybean out on dev thread and here is a link to remics ICS.

Here is a DL link for the ICS version: http://billionuploads.com/s5sfwymw536s

Its peanut butter jelly(bean) time...
[Vibrant General] n0tr1x:
I will checkout remics as u said... only reason y not cm9 n job is that u need some flashing experience in case u run into problems.. thanks for ur suggestions..

If anyone has other suggestions please do reply back..

I know I can fall back on u guys..
[Vibrant General] samsgun357:
Honestly it doesn't matter which ROM you flash, if you read and follow the op, you'll be OK. If not, you could get in a jam.

Its peanut butter jelly(bean) time...
[Vibrant General] younix258:
Well having tried every OS version thats come out for vibe (2.1->4.1)...

-Eclair is just a downgrade from our froyo roms,

-Froyo works, batt life is good, theyre stable and the only issue i can find with it is the lack of later OS features, and the speed is somewhat mediocre (tho not slow),

-Gingerbread is FAST, and pretty stable (save for a random reboot once in a while).. my reason for leaving was the battery life; it sucked.

-honeycomb was just experimental lol.

-ICS was beast: stable, fast, feature-full and looooong batt life... then the encryption unsuccessful bug scared me off. If youre not aware of it, look it up cause its pretty serious.

-JB is what im on now and i can say its got everything but stability. It gives me random reboots somewhat often and bugs here and there. Sometimes programs will crash, FB crashes more often than not, and at one point my baseband/imei decided just to go away and i had to reflash during class with 20% battery just to get signal again.

Bottom-line, id stick to froyo if i wrre you, and for the record, im ddowngrading to froyo too when i have time

Sent from my SGH-T959 running 4.1.1
[Vibrant General] Moped_Ryder:
Also not sure if the 911 issues are completely fixed for ICS / GB. (Ive been away for a while)
[Vibrant General] N_B:
Safest bet for stability, battery life, and awesome GPS would be a Froyo [2.2 or 2.2.1] ROM.

I successfully used Moped_Ryder's Ez_Ryder Kb5 v2 (this is an older one) for MONTHS, until some idiot (me) changed the lock screen to the one that we were clearly warned about in the first post... After that I tried the Bionix-V FishmanMod V4 - was also awesome. I see there's a Moped_Ryder/Fishman mod'd bi-winning out there now too - that was one of my all time favorites...if it were me flashing for a friend, I'd start by looking at this one...

Now...OP...you said you're doing this for a friend - if I was flashing something for a friend, I'd...probably...pick one of the above, and be done with it. That said...

I recently flashed ICZen (have to go to rootzwiki to get that one) - which was pretty friggin' nice - I have since found a couple other vibrant owners using ICZen as their daily driver...both had someone else flash it for them...and from what I understand, they haven't had a problem yet - but if they do, you know who will be fixing it for them. Read carefully before considering this though.

Then yesterday...I was bored, and decided to try the 9/4 version of Helly Bean...GPS isn't awesome, I can't tell on battery life because I'm playing with my phone 10x as much as usual, but everything else seriously kicks ass. The email app is finally functional enough so I don't have to install touchdown (which isn't a problem...just...would prefer to be able to use the built in apps - personal preference). I'm keeping this one for as long as I can - but I'm also ready to ODIN to stock and/or flash another ROM at the drop of a hat...I wouldn't do this for a someone else...yet...
[Vibrant General] benjmiester:
I have to cast my vote for REM ICS 1.3.1 UX without a doubt the best looking, most customizable, overclockable and snappy-est running rom I've ever used! I am desperately waiting for the iron clad version of their JB one so I am keeping with the ICS one for now. I use NOVA launcher which gives you great scrolling animations that makes my Iphony buds real jealous. It also allows you to customize buttons, switch to 5 x 5 spacing (or higher if you want) grid instead of stock 4 x 4 for icons and widget space, and gives you a scrollable bottom doc and all sorts of other great features.

Couldn't be happier with that combo. Yeah you might still get an occasional force close but they're real rare and always have something to with the 3rd party app. Everything it comes with works like clockwork for me. :good: REM ICS! Oh and it has the most beautiful startup animation!

Hey guys, I am new to the S3 and Andriod as I used to be an iPhone user before. I bought a GT-i9300 from Hong Kong and brought it back to Canada and cant seem to get any software updates. I am currently sitting at build number I9300ZSALG3, just wondering if anyone could help me out doing an OTA update or via Kies or if this is the latest version. My baseband version is I9300XXLG3

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JiiNDER:
Thank you! I am not too familiar with flashing with Android again because it is something new and if anything were to happen I wouldn't know how to fix it since I have been an iPhone user. Is flashing firmware any different from jailbreaking the iPhone? - in terms of being safer. Also, how can I be 100% sure that the UK version will work on my phone as well as keep my unlock.

Hey, again as I said to the previous member, I am not too familiar with flashing nor am I keen on doing it just because I am new to the Android community
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zoot1:
Flashing the firmware is 100% safe if you follow the steps..it does not root your phone so it is not jailbreaking...so you will also not loose your warranty...

the firmwares are almost the same for every region, samsung being an a***le released different firmwares for different regions with different CSC....

but i am quite sure it will work on you region as you are already using Taiwan firmware in Canada...in any case download the Taiwan specific firmware also..so if anything goes wrong you can revert back...

by the way I am in India using BTU firmware..

[Asus Transformer TF700] domike1:
Hi all,

Just got my Infinity+dock, and I have a few questions:

(1) With the dock connected, there is a persistent notification of "Docking connected". It's quite obvious to me that the dock is connected: I can see it, I can see that the dock battery is charging, I have a mouse pointer, etc., so I don't really need this notification. However, I can't figure out how to turn it off.

(2) Similar to #1, with my MicroSD card connected, there is a persistent notification of "External storage inserted". Again, I know it's inserted, I put it in there. Is there any way to turn this notification off as well?

(3) I am having an issue charging the tablet and/or the dock via the included USB cord. If I plug the cord into a different wall unit or into my computer, the USB won't charge. (However, I know that it works because I've successfully connected the tablet to the computer.) The only time I can successfully charge anything is if I use the included wall unit. I would appreciate some help, as I can't see why a different wall unit or my computer won't charge the tablet/dock.

Thanks in advance!
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Actually, it *does* get rid of the notifications for the dock and SD card. Problem is (as the OP states) that it stops *ALL* notifications, which makes it a not-so-desirable "solution" to the problem...

Trust me - I just tried it and the keyboard and SD icons disappear completely...
[Asus Transformer TF700] domike1:
I wonder why it worked for you but not for me. Regardless, it's not that big of a bother that I'd want to do something so drastic as getting rid of ALL notifications...
[Asus Transformer TF700] Malkaridae:
Tablet requires 15V(correct me if I'm wrong) which is supplied by Asus accessory wall plug.

Computer's USB ports does not supply enough voltages to charge the tablet, however I haven't tried USB 3.0 port to charge the tablet it might work but I highly doubt it will.

Cheers
