[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nickel Dime Bay:
Does anyone have a Galaxy S III with just a plain box? My other I9300's had writing on the back with specs and the imei and stuff. This box has nothing on it, its from Hong Kong. The phone is working as an I9300 should and is running the new jellybean leak. Any ideas? or info? Or is this how they are sold out there?

Attached are pics of the plain white box and a pic of the french 32gb one i had.

This is the actual phone http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1852761

Original and new GS3 doesn't comes with leaks Jellybean. I think yours is second-hand phone.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nickel Dime Bay:
I know they dont come with the leak, its rooted running the leaked ROM. Im just wondering about the blank box.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KMino:
No idea. What's system info say you have? What's the previous owners response?

Obviously that box missed out on printing or it is fake.. No NFC, would be a good indicator. Should have posted phone pics, front and back with phone cover off.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nickel Dime Bay:
I dont have the phone, this is the phone i was going to trade my ATT S3 for. I am going to ask about what you said.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MXR2:
there are tonnes of fake S3 out there on sale now.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nickel Dime Bay:
updated the op with the actual phone
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MXR2:
the pictures in the link seems legitimate for the int' S3. if that is the box he shows you, you could probably say it's an AP set (original samsung sets that was bought from another source (country) other than the official distributor in that country, for a lower price). AP sets may be packaged in duplicated box or box from another s3 (IMEI of sticker may not match IMEI of the phone). "Risks" of AP sets = original parts swapped with fake battery/ fake accessories. Samsung stores in your country most likely won't allow RMA for AP sets. Wholesalers in my country actually sells duplicated box (from china) for phones like these.

These are just precautions, best you ask the seller. People in Asian countries, esp places like south east asia buys AP sets because they are cheaper than the usual RRP
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nickel Dime Bay:
Big thanks for the information
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pkshr:
Just get to know about this thread. I found that the box is not the original but from a TMobile but the phone itself is i9300 - at least that's what I think as I have applied various i9300 ROMs. I bought it from a colleague who brought it from Hongkong.

Is there any way to check out if it's a fake??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] -Street Hawk--:
So anytime I flash a new rom I keep getting the same bookmarks I've already deleted, but they seem to come back for some reason. I've used root explorer to look wrought my device but can't seem to find anything related, it must be a folder that I can go in and remove permanently. Anyone know of a solution? Only happens when I flash a rom, just flashed back to stock and bookmarks I previously removed are gone makes no sense. Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
It makes some sense, as the emmc (internal storage card) retains all files previously flashed to the device, or downloaded.

With the exception of (android /secure , dalvik, cache , system , and other files that are deleted by using the recovery during a wipe.

The rest of the files, including data, remain on the emmc partition of the internal storage.

The method by which you wipe the device is very important . And just as important, is any type of data restore you perform after flashing a new rom .

Most developers clearly state a "FULL " wipe when coming from any other rom, and full includes the following :

Wiping data

Wiping cache

Wiping dalvik cache

Wiping system. (Bear in mind that many new roms clean the system partition for you while the flash process loads the new rom )

Based on the above method, the device is rendered "clean "

But even then , data from previous builds "does " remain on the device in the emmc partition.

Book marks being left over is a pretty basic leftover, and can likely be found in an internal folder named " thumbnails ", or "bookmarks " etc. And it can be deleted with a long press of the file and the problem is gone.

If you have no obvious folders showing these bookmarks , then a more complete wipe is needed.

My method for this is very simple, and is performed prior to flashing the new rom. I simply go into recovery (I only use the recovery to flash, never rom manager etc) and I format the emmc partition in the advanced menu.

WARNING !!!

Formatting the emmc partition "will " erase all data from your device ...

So any valuable files , pictures , hot chicks phone numbers etc ...will be gone.

To save this data, simply copy/paste it to your external storage prior to wiping and flashing, and you can move it back once your new build is up and running ....

Sorry for the long reply, but I hope this helps you, and other users to perhaps better understand the flash method, and what causes these little hickups of data always coming back ....g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] -Street Hawk--:
Appreciate the response but yes I always do a wipe data/factory reset, followed by wipe cache partition and than wipe delvick cache. So you're saying format/system in advance menu of CWM should fix the issue? Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
No...

It's a format of the emmc partition in the advanced recovery menu..

It effectively wipes "everything " from the internal area of the device. And eliminates all transient data from the phone.

But remember, to "move " any files of value ....or their toast ...LOL

It's very useful if coming from say ....a gingerbread rom to jelly bean. And you can imagine what happens if you mix the two ...g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] -Street Hawk--:
Ok found it mounts and storage submenu, so format/emmc :) thank you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
Yep ....then once the rom is flashed, it will only load the files needed to run the rom .....

Super clean .....just like new ....g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] -Street Hawk--:
Couldn't find any folders containing bookmarks or thumbnails that I would be able to remove. Thanks again for the info.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rsfinsrq:
I just install skyfire web browser from the market. It allows you to delete any and all bookmarks. After deleting I uninstall skyfire. No more unwanted bookmarks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
The only other possibility is , Google servers are restoring your bookmarks when you sync.....g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] -Street Hawk--:
Been away for a bit but ya you're right...is there anyway of not allowing this to happen besides the obvious unchecking the 2 options when syncing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
Well ....

Not that I know of ....

But not allowing the device to sync is a drag ....

If I remember correctly ....another user some time ago ....went to their Google account and shut down the sync option for the browser , but left the contacts and other stuff on ...

If you have a stock type rom using the stock browser ...you can kill just the browser sync option and the other sync stuff can still be used.

I'm sure several other roms are capable of this also ...but rooted stock builds for sure ...g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] -Street Hawk--:
There has to be a way to perm remove those saved bookmarks though without having to disable sync, just makes no sense why Google would backup those bookmarks smfh.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
Agreed ....

But then again ....they keep everything ....and spam you with it later.....LOL

Check the Google side ....I know it can be turned off somehow ....g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] -Street Hawk--:
Ya tried checking my gmail acct on my laptop, searched everywhere but couldn't find anything :/
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
I'll take a look and see what I can find ...

If I find the super secret ninja code ....I'll post back up ...g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] -Street Hawk--:
Lol cool.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
Okay ....

Status update ....

Based on the Wikipedia reading I did on Google bookmarking ....

They utilize a cloud based storage portal , independent of any browser ....whether on android or pc ...

Then they incorporate Firefox extensions into the bookmark results being synced to the browser. So you are able to access your bookmarks from any pc or mobile device from anywhere in the world using Google .......(inhale ...LOL )

Long story short ...

If you don't want bookmarks to restore to your device when you sync to Google ....then don't sync Google in your device sync settings ...( we talked about this already )

That being said ...Google has provided an opt out feature for all of their services ....and I'm searching diligently for that link ...so stand by for that answer .....g

Edit :

(Hanging my head in shame )....

Google is a bust ....but i've turned back on the device and gone ninja on the google apk's ...

I'm on ICS ....using flappjaxxx UCLF6 rom ....and I've gone into the apps and made a backup of the system apk " Google bookmarks sync"....

Then I deleted the rotten pain in the a**.....LOL

So now I'm testing to see if they come back or not ....

I'm assuming this deleted app means that any new bookmarks won't sync going outbound .....but since Google has the old copies on the cloud ...they may come back.

Over time ....the return of the bookmarks should stop ...and as of right now ....nothing is going in any direction ..

Give it a try and see what ya think ....g

Sorry if this was requested before can anyone point me in the right direct on how to install CM9 ICS on ATT galaxy Tab SGH- i987 running original software 2.2
[Galaxy Tab General] priyana:
You can ignore that your tab is AT&T, it is the same as P1000 with different radio/modem. Follow the guide as if you have a P1000

Note down your modem/baseband version (Setting, Phone)

Use Overcome method

http://www.teamovercome.net

Missing pictures can be seen here.

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B7k...EyNS00Yzg5LWE0MTktYmYyMjA1MThmYzQz/edit?pli=1

Follow the picture step by step.

(actually I would start from page 7 and ignoring all the stuff about Froyo and bootloader)

missing files at

http://tabfirmware.com/2012/01/romk...e-7-series-v4-1-0-♫-overcome-kernel-v4-0-0-♫/

and missing kernel here

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=27801159&postcount=8

Basically to restock:

Download GB-stock-safe-v5.zip, unzip it and and flash with ODIN according to the guide.

Stop there and you will have clean Gingerbread.

But since you want ICS, continue reading the guide.

- download ICS (CM9 or AOKP) and gapps-ics and put in external sd card.

- boot to download mode

- you need to use Odin to flash Overcome kerner tar

- once flashed the tab reboots.

- ignore the robotic voice, just force the tab to off

- boot to CWM recover (press vol-up and power )

- flash ICS (CM9 or AOKP)

- after flashing the system will convert your tab to MTD partition, but it will probably bring you to recovery or stuck at boot.

- force reboot to recovery again

- flash ICS again

- immediate after complete, flash gapps

- reboot

these ROM comes with JPZ modem, which may not be what you want to get your 3G speed.

The GB-stock-safe has a folder called JK3 Modem.

Just take the modem.bin and copy and paste it to /radio/modem.bin

reboot.

Hi,

Definitely WanamLite! I immediately felt the smoothness with that ROM. On a side note, I have a question about flashing ATT ROMs on Canadian variants. I flashed Wanam (and loved it) but my phone kept constantly trying to connect to ATT DM Manager, which obviously won't work since I'm on Bell. Then after a while it would just show "AT&T Software Update has stopped working". There a way to bypass this or something?

I'm digging the KyanRom with the KT747 kernel. I'm still trying to find the balance of nice performance and even nicer battery life. The KyanRom fits all of your criteria.

One more for WanamLite. No matter what ROMs I try, I always end up back at this one, everything just works and the battery life is stellar.

But Nostalgia is much smaller (150MB smaller). Plus you can reodex it for extra smoothness.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckl_88:
I had the same problem the other day... not with the N7 but with another android phone. It turns out after a google search that somebody said the recent ROM Manager update sticks a .nomedia file at the root level of the sd card causing nothing to be found. Low and behold, there was a .nomedia file at the root level. So I deleted it, but it seemed not to work. I gave up and decided to back up the sd card and wipe it... but after several minutes of copying files over usb to the pc, the media files appeared again after I unplugged the phone. I guess it just takes a bit of time.

If it is in fact the fault of ROM Manager, whatever possessed the developer to put a .nomedia file at the root level of the sd card is beyond me. Nevertheless, I've uninstalled it - not because of this, but because I rarely ever use it.
