Red triangle

I'm looking to upgrade to JB, but I got red triangle. So I downloaded it again (About device | Software update | Check for updates), secondly copied file from /cache/fota to card. Finally, I restarted phone and used CWM to update, and I can see where is the problem in error message

assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/etc/default_gain.conf" ...)

And yes that is the file I changed, but unfortunately I didn't do a backup of this file, and I'm guilty of that :(

Can anyone post the stock file (default_gain.conf for SGS3 I9300 ICS 4.0.4) so I can upgrade to JB?

just an fyi it's a problem with jelly bean http://support.swiftkey.net/forums/...r-jelly-bean-update-swiftkey-keeps-returning-

As per my experience if you just did an update via OTA from ICS to Jelly Bean you will not encounter this error. Only when you do a factory reset after the update to Jelly Bean will this problem pop-up. That is at least my experience with my paid apps :)
[Galaxy S III General] polesp:
Yeah I did wipe my phone after the jellybean update, looks like that was bad :(

I don't want to root my phone until it is certain that all the background scans samsung does is not used to screw users out of their warranties.

Looks like 4.1.2 would fix it but given samsungs nature it will take a very long time...

slow charge

Well I'd love to comment on the thread for the rom I'm using, but I still have under 10 posts (partially due to my finding most of my answers by searching), so it's gotta be asked here.

I noticed that my charge time is so slow that it takes absolutely forever to get to a full charge (a full night's sleep while plugged in will cover it, though)

In fact, it charges so slowly, that if I'm using my phone while it's plugged in, it will drain slightly faster than it can charge (it's really that bad).

This problem has existed in the 5 roms I've tried.

1-the official j2 rom

2-the official j4 rom

3-omega v31

4-omega v3 aokp

5-ultimaRom v4.1.1

I've seen other similar complaints, with solutions involving using siyah kernel and upping the charge level. Well, I'm using siyah already, and maxing out the charge for both AC and USB fixes nothing
[Galaxy S III General] UncleBeer:
I'd seen this as well, but tried another cable and suddenly charging was *fast*. I know: doesn't make much sense.

BTW: just saw J5 released.
[Galaxy S III General] beaver2233:
gotta be the micro usb you are using - I've bought 3 off ebay all charged extremely slow (if charged at all) - used the original and all is fine.
[Galaxy S III General] BinaryEclipse:
This happens with multiple usb wires. And the problem only happened after my first flash to an official rom. (and i have done a factory reset since then)

The same wires before and after flash have been used and before flash, there was no issue
[Galaxy S III General] beaver2233:
flash back to ICS official rom - if it still persists it may be a hardware issue. Otherwise I have no idea.

Bugs in the official Samsung 4.1.1 for unbranded S3s in Germany

Hi all,

I figured Samsung does not really scan german forums for Bug reports. So i think i'll just mention the most annoying bugs here and hope, someone picks up on them...

In the german version I found at least 2-3 really annoying bugs

- in contacts, the tag for private phone numbers has been renamed to "Homepage" which really doesn't make sense for a phone number.

- Whenever I make a call (I configured the display to go off when I hold the phone to my ear) I end up with a lock screen as soon as the call is over. Even if that call is only a couple of seconds long. Renders the phone close to useless if the majority of things you do with it is actually having PHONECALLS. The fact that I configured the lock screen with a PIN doesn't make it better.

- Google Now drains the battery within hours. Almost everyone I know who tried it also deleted it within less then 2 days.

- car mode missing. I mean.. not even charging? Come on!

- Pressing "volume down" only goes as far as "vibration" but not completely silent. Used to work in 4.0.4. What did they do to it?!?

Is there any hope some of these will be fixed with the rumored 4.1.2 update in december?

Kind regards,

Martin
[Galaxy S III General] JJEgan:
Neither does Samsung scan XDA for bug reports to many stupid posts for starters .

You need to ask Samsung your questions.

[Galaxy S III General] onesolo:
Don't guys see that this is a bug that was introduced by JB roms?!?!

We can only hope that new OTAs will fix this or return to ICS roms...

With me for example only start to happen after I update the UK unbranded rom... never happened with Polish, Swedish and French rom... and I never used a ICS rom btw

From time to time I get this bug, but I don't worry about that

If this happens, simply try to restart the phone, most of the times it will fix
[Galaxy S III General] KennyLegend:
Was ur battery at 100% at the time of flashing? If not, then this is probably why. Leave it charge away till it reaches 100 and it should be ok aftr that..

Rollback to ICS

I have stock SG3 and prompted to update to Jellybean 4.1.1 apart from the issues already mentioned here and that Flash isn't officially supported, I would like to rollback to pre JB install - can anybody tell me how to do this and if I will lose any data etc ? (Sorry but complete Noob to all this), would I be able to update to JB in future ?

[Galaxy S III General] BinaryEclipse:
I actually found the solution to my problem. It was the wire, but in a little bit of a different way than said. I'm using a USB extender on my AC charger. I guess that was the issue cuz when I decided to try it direct, charging went way up. As for USB charging, I'm still testing it, and I'm confused as to if there's a problem or not, as I was very sure it did, but now it seems less so. I need to test some more, but I can say safely now, that as far as AC charging goes, there is no issue with the flashing like I thought.

PS: but I'm pretty sure I was able to use the USB extender and not lose charge while using before flash - but there's no way to be sure now
[Galaxy S III General] dragonxpress:
Thanks but I updated through A prompt from the phone so I take it I won't have a backup flash ? Does that mean I will need to root my phone now or Can I just download install a basic Rom, if so how do I do that?

Hi All ,

What's the best official JB ROM to use , a lot of users says that BTU I9300XXDLJ4_I9300OXADLJ4 is best one , Is this true

now using the official arabic ROM but i feel that the phone isn't stable enough , was better and faster while using ICS and it's response was better , is it safe to back to ICS using Odin ?!

Thanks All
[Galaxy S III General] blazevxi:
Have you done a factory reset after going from ICS? That could solve a lot of your issues.
[Galaxy S III General] MohamedYousri:
Yup done it twice to make sure that every thing is OK , also i have a few problems with Smart Stay it keeps the screen on most of the time although i am not looking or beside the phone at all
[Galaxy S III General] ecastanyos:
Try the DJL4, I think is one of the best. It's stable and faster.

Before i ask, i did click in search this thread and got 2 results searching for "tether" or "tethering", none asked my question.

Hi all,

Friday I have bought me a brand new sgs3!

I came from LG 2x and I was rely a flash freak!

With this phone I have decided to not change anything with it.

I would like to know if someone knows when jb will come out for our phone? (Via kies only) I have searched the Google but I only find the polish version installed by Odin.

Thanks in advanced.
[Galaxy S III General] Cyclosporine:
Jelly Bean is being released periodically to all countries.

Depending on your location Jelly Bean may have not been released yet and not available via KIES. You can just flash any of the official unbranded JB ROMs here that are the same as you would get on KIES. They will work on your country.

Unless you wish and wait for the official release on your country.

You can always check sammobile.com to see the status of samsung firmware releases
[Galaxy S III General] rjjcvb:
Thank you. I will think about this and I will have to find how to return to its original state if something goes wrong. For the o2x I had nvflash.

I've been switching back and forth between ICS and JB (CodecSE ROM) and playing with the different JB kernels...JB so far has much better battery life hands down--but a lot of my old apps (and settings) I have come to grow and love have issues on JB.

Just Nandroid everything and test it out for yourself. Just remember to also keep a backup of your modem--Nandroid will NOT restore the modem that was flashed by modem file that came with the ROM.
[Galaxy S III General] disclaimernotice:
Some have reported worse battery life while others think it's the same. I think it's slightly worse. One thing's for sure; it's definitely not better than ics

Jb has been released in Portugal. It is soooo smooth.
[Galaxy S III General] Cyclosporine:
Remember after flashing or updating to JB you must wait about 2 days for the system to settle and battery to stabilize.

Initally I had very bad battery life compared to ICS. I was getting about 8-10h with minimal use, after some tweaking manage 12h In the end, thanks to a lot of help here at XDA, the culprit turn out to be media scanner and facebook and have been able to get around 26h on battery with moderate use.

Thing was, I never use that POS facebook, I never logged in since I got the phone, I just had it, and it turns out it loaded on boot and killed the battery. Was quickly uninstalled.

I've installed the Omega rom with JB in my S3. But I don't know why in the Talk application all my contacts are greyed out, as if they were offline. Also, my profile is greyed out too.

[Galaxy S III General] Moonsower:
The worst of all is the dialer opening lag. I am having 3 seconds wait.

Next, the gallery bug with black bar spoiling pictures view in landscape mode. Also, browsing pictures in gallery was smoother under ICS.

Lockscreen ripple animation became poor.

Wi-fi behaves strangely, sometimes it can't wake and start to scan after you wake the phone. Toggling it off and on again makes it work.

There are other issues, but aren't these enough to convince one not to upgrade from ICS?

Btw, absolutely no improvement in "buttery" smoothness. Just the same.
[Galaxy S III General] rab1412000:
dialer lag for me is 1 sec and it was worse in ics. i dont have the black bar, but yes browsing pics was smoother in ics.

wifi can be fixed by using a custom kernel.

my phone is however, overall smoother than ics but not by much since my ics was already quite smooth.

switching to a custom rom and kernel will solve most your problems, as will doing a full wipe and install stock jb via odin.

i never do fotas. just too much problems there.

Fota is firmware over the air. In my experience, it is not preferable to do major upgrades like ics to jb by this method as it causes many issues.

I myself upgraded to jb stock via Odin and a full wipe.

As for custom roms /kernels I would suggest what I'm using now, omega v32 and siyah kernel.

Hi to everybody.

Someone already knows me as I'm asking a lot about JB on S3 as I'm new in this coming from i9000.

I please the people that I see here not to yell at me for asking all across the forums.

I would like to know if there is a way to know which version of JB is available for my device and how to get it.

In case of no existing official updates for my S3 (it is branded 3-ITA) I world like to know how to get a compatible JB for my country.

JB = windows vista?? DOA

i've been using JB-based rom (omega) for a few days now, migrating from ICS-based rom.

i've never had any problems with either rom.

same apps set, usage patterns, config.

there is one significant difference - battery life (or lack of thereof in case of JB).

in my case i was getting 4 days of usage with ICS (about 4 hours of screen time), now i'm getting less than 24 hours.

i've tried different kernels, device simply does not go sleep as well as it did with ICS, so my guess OS is the problem.

no significant new features and substantially worse battery life - that's my 2 cents about JB.

back to ICS
[Galaxy S III General] panosv7:
I would like to add to that, I don't have problems with battery life, but any JB rom gave me stupid lags, until I flashed one of the latest Revolution Roms!!! The phone is flying now....!!

[Galaxy S III General] Cyclosporine:
Latest version build number is XXDLJ5, if your official update is not available and you don't care about carrier bloatware and boot animation, just flash any JB official ROM that's unbranded that you can find here in the forums, they usually require no data wipe so all your data will be carried over, remember to always backup before flashing.

Stop media scanner on running and cached applications and get rid of facebook, biggest battery killer ever.

As said, battery calibration is useless.

You can always flash 4.2 AOSP camera in CM10, pertty nifty camera, better quality.
