Can anyone point out where the in the directory the downloaded update zip would go to?

I didn't get an update message but I did check for one it was available for me. So I ticked ok and it downloaded but failed to update as expected because of the custom recovery I have in place.

But I can't find where the zip file download to.

I wanted to try and see if Chainfire's Mobile ODIN Pro would root the updated zip as it claims.

Successful OTA Flash using Mobile Odin Pro and Kept Root/Unlocked Status

Thanks, running a backup now before I try Mobile ODIN Pro. Will update this post:

Edit: Ok, it seems I have a successful flash using Mobile ODIN Pro.

Mobile Odin Pro gave me some Warnings in advance before continuing the Flash.

1) EverRoot may need to remove Google Maps during the flash to free up some space... yadda yadda..

2) The Modem Image on your device does not match the signature check....yadda yadda..

3) 5 out of 499 system files do not match the signature checks in the OTA zip... yadda yadda..

NOTE: I disabled signature checks on both warnings before proceeding.

But you do that AT YOUR OWN RISK!!

From what I gather, Mobile Odin made its own OTA zip from the target file before flashing it

I"ve uploaded some screen shots.

IMPORTANT!

PLEASE RUN A BACK UP before attempting anything risky like this.

ALSO! and VERY IMPORTANT!!

If you are using CWM as your recovery PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE check the size of your backup before proceeding with the update.

It seems CWM is not working properly on my SGSIII because the backup file sizes were only about 22 MB's large.. and thats is SO NOT GOOD!!

I went into GooManager and Flashed TWRP over CWM and ran a backup via TWRP and checked the file size to be in the range of 2.34GB's and thats what it should be (IMO). The only thing that bugs me about both recoveries is the date is 1979-12-31.. and thats definately wrong..

Anyways, my way of checking for root after an OTA is to run Titanium Backup because it always asks for SuperUser Rights before loading.

So all is well with that and checking to see if the Bootloader on my device was still Unlocked with EZ-Unlock said it still was..

Thats all I can think for now..

This is a thread dedicated to only Xperia S timescape for sony ics roms.

The screenshots are like any xperia s timescape screenshots, if you like to post up some for me, i give u a hug, really.

Btw this is a flashable zip.

There's V2, please try.

Please note the new Xperia home Is included, or else the widgets won't work with the old launcher I think...

There are some differences with all the Eventstream.apk around here and I'm not sure which works with who's phone, I'm just going to post those that don't work with mine...

Timescape is quite temperamental and you have to use it on a you win some, you lose some basis, some of the widgets work, some of the widgets dont. also it may be dependent that you MUST HAVE FACEBOOK installed for some of the stuff to work, honestly i don't like the facebook app cos it's 4mb but I'm gonna attach it here anyways, try adding it to your zip before flashing (i use 7-zip)

It may also need the new music app (xperia s) which you can search in the themes and apps forum.

Update: 3:59PM 21/09/12

The TimescapeV2 is for Gingerbread roms, on gingerbread i tried it does not seem to force close

The V3 will be for ICS

If some widgets force close it will mean 2 things, another app is missing, or the app is for the wrong android version, or simply doesn't work.

You may notice differences in backgrounds if your rom's DefaultThemes.apk is different. (the default looks like a still version of cosmic-flow)

[Galaxy S III Accessories] wonton2049:
Haven't found a dedicated post regarding this brand. Bought these on Amazon for $25. I was skeptical after reading the reviews. A lot of the reviewers were new and never posted a review on Amazon and a lot of them shopped at the same stores... Weird.

Anyway, these batteries have NFC and it works the same as the original battery.

They are rated as 2100mah and I would guess that it is an accurate rating. Battery life for me is about the same, if not a little more than the OEM.

I have put the batteries through 2 full cycles so far and have no complaints as of yet.

The only thing that I have noticed is that when I charge the batteries, while in the phone or on the included charger, it drops to 99% pretty quickly.

Personally, I have never heard of Qcell. The reasons I bought it is because of the high ratings and the NFC. If I didn't need the NFC, I probably would have bought the Anker branded OEM replacements because of the good experiences I've had with their other batteries and chargers.

Hope this helps some of you.

There's some sort of bug on my Epic 4G Touch phone that's driving me crazy. Whenever I receive a message that's longer than 160 characters from the Verizon network, it turns the message into a jumble of unreadable symbols. This happens ONLY with the Verizon network. My phone used to run CM9 Beta 1, but I flashed back to stock GB in an attempt to resolve this problem. My phone is flashed to PagePlus using this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1575749

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] naripsta:
Its happened to me for both Sprint and Verizon. Pretty much CDMA. The sender needs to make sure their messages are split and not go past 160 characters.

It'll always show up like that for someone else as well, if I don't split the message when I send.

@monkeybone: I used to run a modded PRL that was for Sprint phones running on pageplus, but after I encountered this problem, I reverted back to the prl to the one on this page: kittywireless.com/pageplus/pageplusmanualprogramming.html

@naripsta: Surely if this happened for all sprint phones running on pageplus, there would be more complaints? I find it really frustrating to tell half of my contact list they can't send me texts over 160 characters long.

Is there a way to completely reset everything on my phone to stock? ODIN-ing to EL29 does not change any phone settings such as the PRL.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] monkeybone12:

Just to chime in I have the same problem. I am on Verizon as well. I dont think there is a "fix" for it. I think there might be an option in some of the 3rd party apps to automatically split msgs longer than 160 characters. Maybe that will work.

Im so glad to see that I'm not the only person with this problem. I thought it was just me. What I never understood is why it does it. It wont display the msg if its longer than 160 characaters but it will display symbols that are greater than 160 characters. Go figure

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] joederp:
Well, I started trying to figure out what the max clock speed is for

mmc1 (external SDHC) and why the audio is such crap in SGH-T999.

I thought I would share the differences with US and the i9300 I found.

Starting with the Service Manuals for i535 and i9300 and the

teardowns of the T999 and i9300....

We can figure out enough making some assumptions and also

lacking high quality zooms of all the US board...

First a system overview:

In the i9300, the FM radio is sent directly from a Silicon Labs

CMOS FM radio receiver chip to an audio line in on the Wolfson

WM1811 audio codec and speaker driver chip. The schematics

don't provide the part numbers, but through the teardowns people

already know about the Wolfson chip. The SiLabs part hasn't been

mentioned anywhere I have seen. The schematics, pin out, and

part number match the unidentified part in the teardowns as the

SiLabs part:

We can see this extra SiLabs radio chip with is on the thin side of the

board and this chip is missing from the US versions:

All Galaxy S3 boards appear to use the same Murata SoC module

that incorporates the Broadcom BCM4334. From the service manuals,

we see the exact same Murata part and schematics: (top one is i9300)

This might be where the confusion is for people trying to use the i9300

firmware to enable FM radio. Yes, the BCM4334 has FM capabilities and

could have been used for maybe FM radio, but it isn't used in any of the boards.

This is the same WLAN/bluetooth hardware, but an unpopulated pin and a deadend.

There isn't even an external pin you could add a wire to.

Now the audio differences:

What is also of interest is that (sadly) the US Galaxy S3 use the

Qualcomm WCD9310 Audio Codec which drives the headphones.

There aren't any datasheets for what this is capable of. In (at least)

the i535 the speaker is driven with a Texas Instruments TPA2039D1

Audio Power Amplifier. And I suspect it is the same for all the US versions.

Whereas, the i9300 uses the Wolfson WM1811 which both drives the

headset and a speaker driver with many other features.

TPA2039D1 Class-D, 12-dB fixed-gain audio power amplifier
3.24 W (4 Ω, 5 V, 10% THDN)
2.57 W (4 Ω, 5 V, 1% THDN)
1.80 W (8 Ω, 5 V, 10% THDN)
1.46 W (8 Ω, 5 V, 1% THDN)

Wolfson WM1811
2W stereo (2 x 2W) class D speaker driver
Capless Class W headphone drivers
(5.3mW total power for DAC playback to headphones)
ReTune™ Mobile 5-band, 4-channel parametric EQ

In both cases we don't really know much about the headphone

driver except that you would rather have the Wolfson chip.

I did find this interesting blog post with some

hints about tailoring the WCD9310. Now if only someone had a Qualcomm datasheet.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kmdub:
Good stuff. Thanks.

On a side note. I know everyone agrees about the superiority of the Wolfson implementation, but I don't find the audio in the T999 to be bad at all. Of course, I haven't directly compared the two, and I am certainly no audiophile. Is there a way to do simple tests (besides how loud it is) to find out how good/bad one's audio is?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] joederp:
I know no one cares, and this should be in a R&D development forum, but anyways, here are the tabla registers.

This would allow hardware control of muting, gains, calibration bias currents...

So we have the chip that can be used for FM radio, but the antenna isn't there? Am I understanding this right?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mikereidis:
Yes, but it's more complicated than that. :)

None of the Galaxy S/S2/S3/Note class devices use the Broadcom chip for FM. The International versions that have FM use a Silicon Labs chip.

Many cheaper Samsung devices use Broadcom for FM.

There are over 200 posts on the subject of FM on the US GS3 here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1732685 The last 20-50 posts or so might give a more complete idea of the findings made.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mikereidis:
Qualcomm datasheets are almost impossible to find/get.

I'm pretty familiar with most of the info you posted, but thanks for the pics and the added details.

Are you sure the GT-i9300 uses an SI-4705 and what's the source of that info ? There's no clue in the stock ROM of course, the si470x driver is generic and the 470x chips are very similar.

I don't recall exactly the differences with the 4705, but if there's a register difference, I can check on my 9300.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] joederp:
I'm about 99% sure the i9300 uses the SiLabs 4705.

I am the only source for that and I figured it out based on looking through the i9300 Service Manual.

They include some schematics that point to a radio chip labeled U203, well I googled the pin names

on the schematic, because everyone reuses they symbols provided with the models/abstracts. So the

schematic labeled U203 pointed to SiLabs names on some of their chips, I googled the FM receivers a

little and found one with the same footprint. The only one that fit was the 4704/05 series which are for

mobile.

Now I went back to the service manual and if you search for U203, you will find a parts list that designates

the part as a SI4705-D50-GM. What was confusing is the parts list table is shifted by one row on the right

column. This can be confirmed throughout the document.

So it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that is what the chip is.

It is a Silicon Labs 4705-D50.

So, I hope that helps the i9300 rom efforts.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] joederp:
I would say that they would need the resistors, and inductors inside the SoC module, and an antenna. And then some was to get the data out of the broadcom chip, and then can it handle FM while using bluetooth and WLAN? So I'm guessing based on the cost and module specs, they abandoned it. For the flagship i9300 international design they just threw in another chip. The respin US version they want to save money and the Wolfson and SiLabs volume and cost makes more sense to use the Qcom part and abandon an extra audio input. Also US cell companies go out of their way to disable FM radio even when it is "free". They would rather you pay for data or some crazy nonsense.

Chill...mods try to keep things orderly. If you feel you're treated unfairly, pm the mods and plead your case...it's never a good idea to publicly criticise staff (made up of volunteers) dedicated to our shared interests. ;)

On topic, the FM stations are miserable here, full of annoying racket and ads...I'd never even consider listening to FM even if the SIII had an operable implementation.
