Just to be clear my new Galaxy S3 4G on LL5 firmware also has this issue. Simply locking and unlocking fixes the brightness change. Def looks like software.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khaosgott:
hello there, guys and girls.

Im trying to root Galaxy SII, with stock ICS ROM.

I've downloaded the CWM and the Busybox Installer and copied both to an external SDCard.

the problem is that when I try to reboot the phone to recovery mode using Vol Up/Home/power combination, im reaching the "downloading, dont turn off your phone" message which wont progress any further. There is no option to choose to "apply update from external storage" as required.

please help!

thank you in advance,

Kirill

Unplug your phone from USB and try again
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khaosgott:
the phone is not connected to any computer, actually.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] handakozak:
Samsung Galaxy S2 has three different boot method.

Normal boot method done by using power button.

You can also hard shutdown the device by holding the power button for 8 seconds, so you don’t need to do battery removal method.

Download mode is necessary for you to flash ROM or kernel.

To perform this boot method, you need to turn off the device.

You need to press and hold volume down, home button, and power button simultaneously.

If you succeed, you will see green download mode on your device.

You can also get into this mode by using USB Jig. You can get the Jig from ebay for few bucks.

Recovery mode, is used to boot recovery such CWM, of course you need to flash the recovery first.

By flashing CF kernel, actually you get rooted devices and also CWM recovery.

To enter this mode, you need to turn off the device first.

You need to press and hold volume up, home button, and power button simultaneously.

If you succeed, after the Samsung Galaxy boot, you will enter the CWM recovery menu.

If you installed custom ROM there should be a reboot into recovery options to get into CWM, so you don’t need to press the button combination

check Q&A for answers about rooting and everything

hope it helped

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ndh777:
I'd like to be able to scroll wallpapers when switching from screen to screen but, as most of you have noticed, this isn't available on the TouchWiz launcher (the launcher used on our SGS3s).

Has anyone found a way of getting around this like we used to be able to do in previous Android versions? I really like being able to see the full picture and scroll it rather than seeing it every screen from screen to screen.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] blackdragon79:
If your rooted flash FreeGs3 rom. It give you the option choosing the wall paper scrolling.

Apple just give up the IPHONE sucks deal with it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ndh777:
Does it change the launcher to that of a third-party or is it still TouchWiz? I'd kind of like to keep TouchWiz if possible. I have been looking for some new ROMs, so thank you for the heads up on that one.

Thanks guys. I'll give it a try immediately.

EDIT: There's one problem...where can I find a version and tutorial on how to install TWRP recovery for my device? I can only find links sending me to places that flash only for the Galaxy Nexus or other carriers and it says that they will only work with those models.

I've seen some complaints about the wireless network performance on the 7.0. Having broken one and subsequently taken it apart, I couldn't help but notice what was causing the problem.

The circled area is shows the antenna on the back case, right where one would hold the device. Seems like a silly design, is this normal?
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Gizmo:
Never had ANY problems with ANY Wi-Fi connectivity or networks! :cool: But yes!, I agree that is NOT a really good spot for the sensor! :silly:
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Ouch-splat:

[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Corki2:
Funny you should mention it. JUst this morning I had my tab dockd on my keyboard with a strong wifi signal. I took it off the dock to use it and lost my signal. I put in back on my dock and the signal came back nice and strong. I figured holding it was interferring with wifi.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] shinydesert:
I think the Jelly Bean OTA has taken care of that,so far when I hold it I don't see any bars dropping.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] sergio_f:
Its hardware , some users have 4.04 and JB and the wifi issue still the same, if u cover all left bottom corner maybe u lose all wifi connection

[Galaxy Tab 2 General] priad:
Being a soldier in Afghanistan with a whopping <56k download speed, this matters a lot. I've noticed many times where laptop folk, or even other iPad folks, would benefit from having a signal, where I would have none! I've noticed that I would literally drop a bar of wifi if I held it in landscape, with my right hand over the Samsung symbol...very lame indeed. When I return to the state's,I hope this won't be too much of a problem.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] sergio_f:
You will get a good signal if you have a good router, for example,I have downloaded 1 gb of maps for my gps program and the speed was 1mbps, if I hold with left hand drops to 100 kbps, the connection only disappears if cover all left corner, that only happens on purpose (its not the way i usually hold the tab)

[Motorola Triumph] SErooted:
Is there an sbf file available for this phone?

I have just recieved one from a customer of mine who is great at bringing me devices he is having trouble with and i have never failed to get things back up and running for him. without a file for this phone it is pretty much a paper weight.

which would be sad because i do see a good amount of development here just not files to recover the phone
[Motorola Triumph] Tokens210:
even if the phone itself has crashed out and wont complete a boot, you should be able to access the stock recovery, in which case, you would need to get, follow the directions, and install ClockworkMod Recovery

Once clockworkmod is on the phone you can download a backup or Nandroid of the stock phone and restore it using the clockwork

note: things on the sd card will stay unless you format the sd card but anything like call logs and texts that were saved on the phone itself will be erased

i'm using Lupus v5,but its not working
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fxjohn:
Same behavior here

I've Lupus v5 too, I've tried to download Xperia root fix on the web but all links are dead because of copyright problems. And of course, I've problem with sudo su command...

At least I've succeed in giving rights to Titanium backup but at each time an other program ask for admin rights it fails so I don't really know where the problem is coming from. Maybe it come from the lacks of space in internal memory because the Markphyton's rom fills very well it ; I don't know...

If someone have found a solution...

But I just have seen Markphyton is working on a last version so maybe we must just wait for it and the problem will be gone.

have you tried a SU update?

got problem on it?

after update, the root is working or not?

[Off-topic] T10NAZ:
This was made for 1.3.1 right before 1.3.2 came out! It may work for 1.3.2, and it may not who knows :p

And you need Modloader!

​

Downloads, screenies, and installation instructions at the bottom!​

I've been working on a mod, GlassCraft. It does look like other mods out there but I have some ideas to make it different! But anyways I would love for all the xda minecrafters to try it out and to give suggestions on what to add or change before posting on minecraftforums or planetminecraft.

So far I have 16 tinted glass blocks, reinforced glass to work with TNT or to make safe creeper grinders and glass armor and tools!

Some may say hey, wouldnt glass armor and tools break fast? Well im using Reinforced glass as a recipe for armor and reinforced+1 diamond for tools but its currently regular glass to test it out to see that everything is working right, Even though its coded for reinforced glass! :D

So basic crafting recipes for the available items in the mod,

This is how you make tinted glass, its the same for other colors.

This is how you make the tools/weapons Its basically the same as the other tools.

​

This is how you make glass armor, this is a temp recipe! but it will always be the same as the other armor

​

This is the recipe for Reinforced Glass, but you will be using the frosted glass in the middle instead of regular glass!

Now the screenshots!​

The white squares are the armor

Downloads!​

GlassCraft http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?hpqatfc4axi35cl

links to modloader: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/75440-v132-risugamis-mods-preliminary-updates/

How to install​

• Move the Blocks, armor, Armor, and Tools folder into your 1.3.1 minecraft.jar

• Then Open the Minecraft mod classes then move all the classes to your minecraft.jar!

BUGS:​

There is a texture bug with the glass.

It also crashes ever so rarely (im thinking its because my laptop cant handle Far view and Fancy graphics) If anyone has this problem let me know!

So far that is it but someone can slam into a wall with it
[Off-topic] lreyes:
looks great man i like it but this should be in the gaming thread i think but hey id like a new set of armor and tools :D

ya'll better wish me luck yo.....

.SNATCH AND RUN YA'LL
[Off-topic] T10NAZ:
Sweet :D

the glass tools do have a high usage and high kill rate so to say so pretty much more uses then diamond tools and kills things in 1-2 hits

because it was coded for reinforced glass :p

I may lower that down a bit because that sounds a bit unreal haha

Anyone have a clue as to why a stock ROM GS3 (after the latest update) would be randomly shutting itself off? (Ithought this issue was to have been fixed in the latest ROM?)

I have LTE disabled, and only a few apps on there...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 30Glock:
I had mine exchanged for this very reason, I was still in the trial period and received a new unit.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xTmDarren:
I'm having the same problem with mine every 3 days or so.. I also had the sms code 98.. But a simple phone call to sprint fixed that.. I should of said something about the restarts but I figured nothing would fix it besides an exchange which I plan on doing maybe next week..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] n@rcotic:
Wait, so your saying this problem started happening AFTER you did the OTA LG8 Update...or its been happening since you purchased the phone? If its been happening since you purchased the phone, I would strongly advise exchanging it or wreaking hell on earth in a sprint store if they refuse. When you pay $500.00+ for a piece of hardware, there is absolutely no excuse for it not to work for years. I have not experienced this problem with my phone, however, I would strongly advise installing BlazerROM or StrongSteves Blue ROM. It could be that the OTA update you did was a bad flash. Find a stock tar around here, ODIN back to stock, and do the OTA updates again...or install a custom ROM like I advised earlier.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ronnienyc:
Yes, it started shutting down (not restarting) AFTER I did the OTA LG8 Update.

I spoke with Samsung last night and they offered to pay shipping both ways if I send it in to have it fixed.

Also, they suggested a hard reset, which I did, so I will see how it goes today.

I have only had the phone for two days so far...and I may have Sprint replace it if the issue persists.

Hey fellas,

I just start to compile a CM10 rom for my own use from the source and I wish to share with you guys.

So far so good, seems everything is working fine.

Instructions..

You probably know.. but just in case..

1. Boot to recovery (MANDATORY A TOUCH RECOVERY) - I strongly recommend the sk8erwitskil or TWRP recovery (plenty of useful features)(Respectively): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1844637) or http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1768742

2. Wipe data/factory reset

3. Flash the rom

4. Reboot

5. Flash the GAPPS:

- http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip (Thanks to casonswag for suggest)

6. Reboot and have fun

Attention:

1. Do not install any kind of cpu manager, like setCPU. Keep for now the stock frequencies. It can cause SODs and RRs.

2. When using Titanium Backup do not proceed restoration of data. It can be corrupted or even incompatible in some point to new releases. It can cause FCs.

Attention about to post a bug:

1. Before to post a bug, PLEASE, try to reproduce it at least twice.

2. Make sure that is not related to a bad and dirty flash, you can try to wipe cache and dalvik.

3. Be polite, after all, we are doing this for fun and for the pleasure of share, with no benefits at all.

4. You can contribute here with some debug methodology :D lol

Changelog (?!) :D (just a short description about what has changed in CM10 Source):

- Usual changes at the CM source. For more details http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#/q/status:merged,n,z (Thanks to krazeecracker)

- More about official CM changelog http://changelog.bbqdroid.org/#hercules/cm10/next (Thanks to mobbarley)
