Maybe not now, but in the future... I find that as I'm holding this phone to play games, I can't help but "want" to use the camera and power buttons as triggers...

So I'm wondering... Do you all think this would be a feasible mod in the future? How many others would use it, "if" someone could make it happen?

i got the faqs down and tried doing it JUOPUNUTBEAR way on gaining s-off but when trying to flash the rom i get an (error 99 unknown) has anyone solve an issue or is there an easy or moderate way how to s-off cause i just brought a 16gb SD and thinking about partition it in two for personal and all roms selection :)

btw downloaded cm7 alpha 1 and im really pleased with it not that many freezing and forceclose but man this rom made my phone speed of light
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
I'm afraid I've not run it yet so I can't help you on this one Crimedave. But I don't really know why you'd need to partition your SD card. I've got a 32gb one in mine and just made a ROMs folder & keep everything in there. It doesn't seem to affect the read speed or write speed at all that I can tell.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] crimedave1987:
ohhhh right yes a rom folder oops.....but yeah reason i want to gain s-off because i dont want to go on the computer and flash the img everytime and hmm i wonder if a 64gb sd card would work cause ive notice roms take ALOT of space lol

Just do it, and use a spare SD card. It can be fixed with a simple format. I'm going to S-Off my device in about an hour. Just need to find my wire. The wosre that can come out of it is a factory restored device. It not scary on bit, very easy. Run the program, and wait for it to ask for the wire tap. That's the hardest part. It just takes lots of timing.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
I've done this twice now on 2 different devices with the same SD and it never needed a format. But I didn't hook the wire to the sd tray. I laid the wire on it and grabbed my sd card holder that carries 2 sds and the adapter and pressed it pretty firm while doing the "wire trick"

Hello Members,

I just bumped across some member asking how to boot our Xperia Devices in Safe Mode !!!

So i decide to post thread how to , so it may help other members who don't know how to.. :angel:

This Is Tested On Xperia Sola And Might Work On Xperia 2012 Devices Too !! :D

1) Switch Off The Device ( lol everyone noes that ) :silly:

2) Boot It ( That wasnt hard right ??? ) :p

3) Let The SONY Logo Pass And When You Reach Xperia Splashscreen And The Phone Vibrates Before Entering The Homescreen

4) Touch And Keep Caressing The Menu Button (The Right Hand Side Button Look In The Uploaded Image) :cool:

5) Boom Safe Mode !!! :cowboy:

hi guys i have been testing my galaxy s3's GPS. i am using osmand app as my GPS app. sadly the app could not find any satellites and pin point my current location. even if i leave my S3's GPS active for a more than 5 minutes it could not get any satellites even if i am standing on a open area.

what should i do? how can i reset my GPS?

thanks in advance
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00280:
Turn mobile data/wifi on and then try to use GPS. If GPS receiver doesn't have fresh AGPS data, cold start will take from 10 minutes to infinity.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lelinuxien52:
Agree with you. Turn mobile data on. GPS or Glonass receiver use mobile network to fix the signal. When your position is done, you can turn off mobile data.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bossrobo:
oh do you really need the mobile data active? was it possible to get your exact location without the use of wifi or mobile data? just your GPS? because osmand can download the maps offline then just use the GPs data to pin point your location. have you guys tried using the osmand app?

thanks
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00280:
GPS receiver needs to download some (4-5 kilobytes) of data from server. This is called A-GPS, Assisted GPS. Without it, GPS still will lock onto satellites, but it will be 20-30 minutes instead of 2-3 seconds.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zodiaxe66:
U only need data/wifi for first location fix and to dl. extra GPS data.when your location is found,u can turn of data/wifi and never use it again if u got downloaded maps.

Its just to get faster location fix on first GPS fix
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samydroid:
I just tested my s3's GPS today in open air and got a lock within two seconds. phone locked 15 satellites. My phone is running completely stock rom and kernel.

So as others suggested, you should turn wifi or mobile data on so that A-GPS could work.

If you are worried about your app downloading more data and cost you money eventually then you may try app named "GPS Test". Its a very simple app and gives you some key info like satellites in view and locked to plus accuracy etc. It doesn't download any maps etc. Once you get locked, you can close the app and open your desired maps app.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bossrobo:
hey thanks, because last night i was testing my s3's GPS if i have wifi connection my S3 can fix my current location around 2~3 seconds. i also saw my cousin's s3 and he also gets a fix location within 2~3 seconds. but i am not sure if his mobile data is active. that i would like to ask him again.

hehe thanks guys
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manormachine:
Hi there,

I also have an issue with my GPS. Navigation is stuck at Searching for GPS.

Also when I run GPS test, it does not see any Satellites. I have my mobile data and WIFI on, and also tried to update the agps data with fastergps.

I have found different threads suggesting to uninstall maps but that did not help either.

Any ideas? (the issue existed on 4.0.4 stock, and also on latest aokp 4.1.1 build 3)

Thanks.

Also the GPS icon flashes briefly (like twice) and then disappears. Watching the notifications the same thing happens - Searching for GPS- appears briefly and then dissappears.

Is this the normal behaviour?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
That usually means the phone has stopped searching for satellites for any reason, these usually are app-related.

Please download GPS TEST from Play store and report if it can find and lock on any satellites. If not or if it keeps loosing the connections, then something is wrong.

Make sure you don't let the screen turn off during the fix since that will disable the GPS.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manormachine:
I have tried GPS Test and it sees 0 satellites. I have also tried a couple of other apps with no success.

Even with GPS test running, display on, I still observe the same flashing of the icon and notification popping up, then disappearing after 2 seconds and reappearing again...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pah8000:
Have same problem. I tried GPS test. It take about 5-10s to lock the GPS. However, it will dropped after sometimes.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjolne:
If some of you guys are not running stock ROM, then there might be kernel related.

I tried Temasek's newest kernel yesterday on my AOSP MIUI ROM, but couldn’t get a gsp fix.

Went back to siyah kernel and got fix within seconds.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
Also try setting your regional pool with fasterfix
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manormachine:
I had the issue on stock Rom 4.0.4 before I flashed aokp build 3. But maybe I'll try a different Kernel then... just to make sure that this is not the problem

I have tried that, did not help.

Update:

Tried flashing latest Siyah kernel, but GPS is still behaving the same odd way,

Thanks for the suggestion anyways
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pah8000:
Ok, me tried syriah and faster fix now. See any improvement
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pah8000:

Aluminum Case

I thought my GPS was busted as it showed which satelites were available (agps had downloaded) but it woudn't lock.

I then took my aluminum case off the phone and discovered that this was interfering with the GPS lock.

So take your case off before assuming that the GPS is buggered. *sigh*
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fied1k:
"My gps wasn't working on my phone. I took it to the Verizon store after I had flashed back to stock, they messed with it for a little while and then ordered me a refurbished one. I received it the next day and when I powered it on guess what the gps didn't work. So I called tech support and to my surprise the person that answered the phone actually knew what she was talking about.

She told me the gps issue is a Samsung issue, (even though is only effects Verizon and sprint phones) they are working on an update to fix it. But in the mean time she told me how to do a work around to get it working. Here is what she had me do."

Go to Settings

Application manager

click all at top

go to Google services framework

clear data

go to settings

Application manager

click all at top

go to maps

clear data

uninstall updates

Go to location services

turn off VZW Location service(leave it off to)

Power cycle phone

update maps from android market

now the gps should be working.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaveT5M:
a friend of mine, with issues on Videotron network / phone, was experiencing issues with his GPS on his T999v.

Followed the procedure above, for him, the portion : Go to location services turn off VZW Location service(leave it off to) wasn't available so stop there... wasn't working right away, let sit the phone a good 10-12 minutes, give it another try, all apps requiring GPS were now working back again !

So from his name, thanks for the solution !

I read that CM10 does not have the feature that made CM7 really stand above all other roms. App permissions management. If this is true, I'd like to know why such a terrific feature was not brought over to the newer versions. I really liked that I could take away the ability for apps to "automatically start at boot."

Is there something built in to ICS / JB that negates the need for this feature to be in CyanogenMod?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can shed light on this.

It was never really stable in the first place, and caused FCs.

However, there are root apps that allow permissions management anyways, so if youu really want that feature just download one of those suckers
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snakecharmer23:
Thanks for the reply. It's a shame they took it out, even if it made some apps unstable. I'll look in the play store for something similar.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zzerozzero1:
It was perfectly stable. The apps that FCed were just horribly programmed. Actually, what are Exceptions for ? ;)

Somebody on the CM-Forum claimed to know that Google forced CM to drop permission management, otherwise they would have closed GooglePlay for CM devices.

There are 2 apps you could try ( look em up in the forum):

-LBE privacy guard

-Pdroid

I used Pdroid for quite some time and I quite liked it, because it spoofes app permissions. so no more FCs.

However, Pdroid corrupted my contacts and calendar while syncing with SyncMate. So I don't use it anymore.

If that is true, it's a real shame. I didn't know google used strong-arm tactics like that.

Hello guys

I have been trying to use the Samsung app store on my GS3, but I am having a bit of a problem. So I decided to switch over and try using Kies to obtain the apps I need.

I purchased (Well, it's a couple of free apps but if they wanna call it a purchase, they are more than welcome) the apps and downloaded them just fine. I plugged in my GS3, opened the "Samsung Apps" tab on Kies once more, and it told me to check for an APK file in "My files -> Samsungappskies". I do have an external Micro SD card, but I checked my internal memory for the file (And then the external memory).

I could not find that file, I saw something similar called "Samsungapps" but nothing called Samsungappkies, and the former file was empty. What am I missing here? Is there a way to obtain this APK file to move over my files?

Thanks!
