I know my buddy has the non lte s2 (tmobile) and all it does are two things..

Read nfc contacts and urls.. That's it.. Can't transfer files etc.

I think it's a limitation on the s2..

His doesn't have sbeam options etc either.. Just nfc on/off option.

That's interesting. A more important question is why are you getting your information from CNET and not xda.. There are threads here with the correct Odin flash files..
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] visiblewind:
I only became aware of xda when I was searching for solutions to my problem, when I thought I bricked my phone. I've been reading up on the megathreads, and they are indeed very helpful. Needless to say, xda is where I'll be getting my information from now on.

And I guess I should have asked a more direct question, my apologies: would it be safe for me to attempt rooting again, if there are no apparent problems with the GS3? (meaning, it runs normally and the information in the "About device" section appears to be stock)

No data

Hey so I downloaded the Jellybean747 graystone rom for my Galaxy S3 I747M and now my data wont work. I contacted the developer and he said hes never heard of anybody using Bell have that problem before. He recommended downloading a new modem so i tried that and it still didnt work. Any more options? worst case scenario i can just delete the rom and try to redownload it. But i'd rather not. I can still receive calls and texts from people but i just cant use internet unless I\m on wifi. Any help would be spectacular.

Thanks!

Anyone getting random reboot while using Xbox smart glass on aokp?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Intercrew:
I haven't really used my phone in terms of modding right after I got it.

I rooted the phone back in August where no actual OEM updates were out, and I believe around september I've had this update popping up every time and I've been constantly postponing it.

Is it okay for me to update while I'm rooted? If I remember correctly, it'll get rid of my root?

Or how should I manage this? I feel like I should update so it fixes bugs and etc for the phone but at the same time I don't want to lose all my applications, messages etc.

Should I just follow this method?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1766443

Making a nandroid is basically an image of the phone right. So that means root is also included or no?

Thanks guys.

I also am not sure if updating will make the phone incompatible with certain themes, mods of some kind for the phone?

BlackJelly V. 08 LIH Sleep / Awake Issue

Hi everyone,

So this might not be a question with a simple answer but I thought it's worth a shot.

I recently flashed BlackJelly V.08 LIH on my AT&T Galaxy S III. I love it except for one annoying problem.

Occasionally I'll put the phone to sleep via the power button, when I do the screen will not come on but the menu and back buttons both come on. I can tell the phone is running because it'll make noises when I touch the screen but the screen is blank.

The temp fix I've come up with for this is doing a hard-reboot of the phone by holding the power button down until the phone turns off and then reboots. However, I don't want to have to continue this method as it is tedious and potentially harmful to the lifespan of my phone.

Any suggestions???
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Spider3717:
I had a similar problem with the jellybean747 rom but the developer added the no frills cpu control app and said to keep the min at 486mhz and throw it on power save mode in the app and then apply on reboot. It worked for me so far. Maybe try it out

Hey all,

Great forum! I've read countless things on rooting etc, but because I'm a stickler, I just want to re-assure on a few things:

So I rooted my ATT GS3 (basically so I could pair PS3 controller to it) and did it successfully! yay! Now I'm interested in flashing some ROMs and have a few questions.

Basically first I want to install ROM Manager to get CWM correct? Once I have that I can essentially create backups and flash ROMs. Which leads me to my next question; when I have CWM, I can create a Nandroid backup which will save all my "stuff". Now, does that actually save the fact that I'm on stock ICS (plus root), so if I flash something like CM10 and don't like it, I can restore back to my ICS plus root using Nandroid? Or do these backups only save apps, texts, etc. and not the previous ROM (ICS in this case).

Thanks in advanced!

Hi All,

Long time reader, first time poster here. I am trying to confirm a few things regarding my Galaxy S3 but haven't seem to find consistent answers during my searches. I'm just wondering if someone here can help since I can't post in the DEV thread directly.

Background: CANADA | ROGERS | GALAXY S3 | i747M | STOCK ICS 4.0.4

I am currently suffering from the Samsung issue where I can no longer copy/paste without crashing the app I am in. So I am forced to either reset to factory settings or Root and flush a cache and delete the files within the clipboard folder.

I have been reviewing this thread on how to root without tripping the flash counter and retaining the stock TouchWiz OS: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1739426&highlight=break+ota

My questions regarding that method are:

1. Will that method wipe my device and all the data contained on it?

2. Will OTA break for me? Samsung has said that the TouchWiz update for JellyBean is due in the coming weeks for Canadian carriers so I want to make sure that I get it.

3. Will I lose root if I get the JB OTA? (I believe the answer is yes unless I use a tool like Voodoo to retain Root)

I appreciate any and all responses.

Cheers!

Terrible Battery Life

I felt I should post this one here since there are already hundreds of posts about poor battery life however, I couldn't find much that helped me. I just got my gs3 a week ago. I wanted to try something new so I switched over from my iPhone. The phone is awesome and I love the newly acquired freedom you get with an android based device but the battery life is terrible. It is mainly my standby battery time. For example, I charge it up to 100 percent and go to sleep. When I wake up 6 hours later my phone is at 44 percent. I have downloaded GSam Battery Monitor and it doesn't look like there are any rogue apps running in the background. The "Android System" is using up the majority of my battery but I assume that is just the operating system. Is it normal that it takes up up to 80% of my battery life? I also have Juice Defender running and I have it configured to my custom settings. I have turned off sync and GPS and I have most notifications turned off. When I left my iphone over night I would only see a 6 or 7 percent battery drain. Is my battery bad? Any other suggestion as to what I could try? I can post screen shots of my GSAM stats if that would help. Thanks!

Samsung Galaxy S III Custom Roms

I just purchased a Samsung Galaxy S III

Here is a very stupid question:

Are all the custom roms found in the "development" forum

created using the CM10 base?

For some reason I cannot find any custom roms which are

not CM10 based for my Samsung Galaxy S III phone.

I mean I have had a couple of other Samsung Galaxy phones

like Captivate and Galaxy S II and there are a lot of custom

roms for them here in XDA which are NOT based on CM10

and do not use or need GAPPS.

I am looking for custom roms which are based on the Samsung

Galaxy S III stock rom and not CM10 based custom roms.

For personal reasons which I will keep to myself I do not like

any of the Cyanogen roms. (I have tried them all).

Also can someone direct me to the link where I can download

the Odin or CWM flashable Samsung Galaxy S III stock rom ?

Thanks in advance!

Here's my stupid question.

GS3 is my first android phone. I've been running it stock since it came out. I'm started getting impatient waiting for AT&T to release jellybean and I now want to Root my phone and start trying out roms. If I root my phone and AT&T releases Jellybean, will I still be able to download it or will I need to go back to full stock and then download? I guess what it comes down to is that I simply don't know what I can and cannot do once I root this device.

last but not least, I've noticed the majority of roms out there are all 4.1.1. Should I go ahead and wait and see what they can do with 4.2? I guess I'm coming into flashing roms in a transition period. All I know is that I really want photosphere!

SD card wont read ROM

okay guys this is my first android phone,first time rooting, first time for all of it basically.

i have a galaxy s3 i747m that i managed to root already. now i downloaded a ROM that i want and using android file exchange( I AM ON A MAC MAYBE MY PROBLEM?)

so i found the file on my mac,opended file exchange,put the file on my SD card.

now when i go into ROM manager i go to "install ROM from SD card" but it shows me everything thats on my phone not my SD card....i looked everywhere but the file is not there and i cant figure out why its doing this.

so i thought maybe if i save it to my phone i can find it,so i did that and i found the ROM file, but now when i open the file it just shows me

META-INF/ and system/ but on my computer it shows me something called BOOT.IMG.

im guessing this is the part of the file i need since nothing else works?

let me know guys im stuck, and sorry for the long post.
