[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HappyQQ:
Hey,

I tried flashing a rom onto my SGS but long story short into the process I messed it up and it wouldn't work.

I then accidently flashed an optus rom I had downloaded from samfirmware.com soon after I was unable to make calls/text/use internet.

I took it to Telstra and they said I needed to get the optus firmware off and put Telstra Firmware on if this is true I've looked everywhere used search functions etc and still cannot find the firmware.

Could someone please link me it most of the links are megaupload or expired. I installed a customrom (darkys) successfully thinking it would fix my problem however it did not I've checked the apn settings and my imei both are correct also another weird thing is when I search network operators I only get Vodafone and optus no Telstra I wonder what could be the cause to my problem? It would be appreciated if someone can link me to a download of a Telstra Samsung Galaxy gT i9000 stock rom as I cannot find one on samfirmware :( thx or link me via samfirmware if there is one

EDIT: forgot to say its not the sim I tested it already on another Galaxy S phone

[Motorola Atrix HD] luis1108:
So I was thinking on my previous atrix hd it scratched easily on the screen. Is it possible that those scratches are on the so called Nano coating and not the screen itself? If so could one in theory use some thing to blend in or cover up the scratches on the Nano coating if it is this? Just a thought. I prefer screen protectors but this is for those who go bare lol
[Motorola Atrix HD] souljaboy:
if the scratch isnt deep, you can put a screen protector on it and you cant see it

Hi

So basically I have enabled the instant upload from Dropbox app.

It works fine, but the issue is that any new file in the whole gallery gets uploaded.

For example, if I take a screenshot, that also gets upload.

I don't want that. I just want the camera pics to get uploaded.

Anyway to configure this?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nick Fury:
Try having a look through the seting and having a play around with them.

Or if that doesnt change anything and still having the same problem, then turn off auto upload and just manually upload photos on a regular basic for example once a week or on days when you take loads of photos.

Hope this helps.

I have unlocked bootloader n custom kernel rom installed on my w8

If i use sony update service to restore to stock will it relock my bootloader

Sorry but plz answer :confused:
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chris95X8:
Sony PC Companion will restore the stock firmware and stock kernel but it will not lock your bootloader. You should lock it with flashtool.

Sprint - is the worse, cannot be unlocked, have to use other 'inconvenient' options. But I personally love S3 and you can now get it for $170 unlocked (see my profile).

I've been using DicePlayer for most of my video playing but I've noticed that audio and video seem to go out of sync for FLV files when I skip forward or backward during playback, and the more I skip around, the worse it gets. Does anyone have any suggestions for FLV players that are good about maintaining sync? Thanks.

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steveninspokane:
I was wondering if anyone knew if there was any hard shell cases like that from Trident or Otterbox for the Tab 2? I need something so that if my 4 year old drops his tablet, it doesn't get ruined. I have looked through the threads and have no such luck. If anyone can help, that would be great.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fsubartender:
First of all you got a 4 year old a GT 2 7.0? must have money to burn...LOL

you should have gotten a Nabi 2..it is made for kids and very drop resistant.

http://www.nabitablet.com/
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steveninspokane:
Money to burn would be nice... I'm not the one. haha

That Nabi actually looks quite good, I might just consider getting him that instead. My only problem is, it looks a little to easy to use (like an ipod). Right now he can navigate through a normal android OS which I think is better off for him in the long run. (Future developer, ya know)

Still, I might just consider the Nabi, thanks a lot for the suggestion. :)
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mike21222:
Tab 2 Hard case

My 4 and 7 year olds got tab 7's last year, i put them in Otterboxes and they lasted well. So well, my brother in law wants to buy them for basically the same price I paid. So I'm upgrading my kids to the Nexus 7 and a Tab 2. Problem is the Nexus 7 does not yet have a hard case, but it does have one coming out in October from Gumdrop. I just picked up a Gumdrop for my TF300T, its actually quite cool so far. First off it has the feel of tire rubber, seems to have quite a bit of drop protection, as much or more than the Otterbox. It's right around the same price, perhaps a little higher if you shop around for the Otterbox you can get them a little cheaper. But the Tab 2 has nothing that I can find. I have read where some folks have modded the Tab hard case, but that sounds messy.

Have you had any luck finding a Tab 2 7" case?

I'm still looking.

All I could find on the Samsung site is the book case cover. It has pretty dismal ratings on the site.

did you ever have any luck with finding a case? need one for the same situation and was looking for an alternative to the otterbox.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saayinla:
Needed an hard case for the same purpose, got this in the end, pricey but okay for me. I really dont like any cover on my Tab screen
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ivan Fuentes Hagar:
It's an awesome cover... I didn't feel it was that expensive (I did pay $5 less, though... $15 w/free shipping). I got the gray version, and it fits the tab tightly, besides having a really nice texture and solid feeling to it.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Darnun:
Hi There,

I have a friends Galaxy Ace that had Android 2.3.5 on it.

Rooted the phone OK and then wanted to upgrade to a rom that also had 2.3.7 on it.

Downloaded the free version of Clockwork Mod and installed.

When holding down the power and home buttons, on boot, it never loads to the CW screen but the standard android download screen.

So when I used that to install the rom I downloaded and GApps, it rebooted and now I am stuck at a screen that simply says ANDROID.

So it's stuck and I can do nothing. I have heard about Odin and it's ability to get the phone back to a stock FW like 2.3.5 or 2.3.6 but I can not find anywhere to download the firmware files and a half decent guide to Odin.

Is there anyone that could help me get what I am after and help me use ODIN to get the phone working again. Wouldn't be too bothered if it was mine but being a friends phone I am starting to panic a little

Thanks in advance to anyone wiling to help ;)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SnowPluralism:
Before everything there is no paid clockworkmode recovery :)

second :) did u did a full wipe after flashing rom? that may solve your problem

third if so ... go here and choose the firware that suits u best samfirmware.com

4th here is a full tutorial :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMVkduK606A

ATTENTION the tutorial uses a GT-5830M For Your Case Is a GT-S5830 ! Also Another Note Phone Has To Be In Download Mode So Odin Recognize it (Volume Up + Center Button + Power Button )

Hello XDA

My Wife offically got the Orange Quick Tap Wallet app installed and working...i found it funny how it then installs a barclaycard app then after and its actually the barc app that does all the work, i then tryed taking the sim outs the phone and tryed in mcds and it worked:):p

so the contactless quick tap sim orange make customers order isent needed aslong as once the barclaycard app is installed on your phone ...I am wondering if theres a way to get the barclayscard app from her stock galaxy s3 phone and transfer it over to my CM10 factory unlocked unbranded o2 Samsung Galaxy S3?

i now know its the barclays app that we all want, also the whole £50 customers are meant to get we both dontknow whos meant to give us the credit for her s3 atm

anyways exciting knowing there might be a way to get the barclay app off her phone and onto every other app
[Galaxy S III General] Lennyuk:
You could try to see if it installs a separate app and pull that apk file
[Galaxy S III General] encryptioncsta:
no thats what i mean it has installed as a seperate app lol but i dontknow how to take it off the phone to try on a diffrent handset
[Galaxy S III General] Lennyuk:
do you have root? The best way to get it would be the app root explorer then you can see what app you need to take from /data/app
[Galaxy S III General] encryptioncsta:
i how do i pull the apk file?

im dying to get this working and share with all, greedy networks trying to make out contactless sims and apps are need when all thats needed is this barclaycard app
[Galaxy S III General] Dr.Paul:
No, you need the proper sim card for it to work.
[Galaxy S III General] Lennyuk:
did you not read? he said he removed the sim and the app still worked?
[Galaxy S III General] encryptioncsta:
lol i do mate and after taking sim out it works
[Galaxy S III General] Lennyuk:
Download the app root explorer from the market, its a paid app but you get 15 minutes to refund.

Once downloaded open it up and go to /data/app - look on the list of apps installed and find the one you think it is, long press it and go copy then at the top of the page press that button to go back two levels and then go to sdcard and paste it there.

from there you can use whatever app you normally do to access your sd and upload the file for all of us.
[Galaxy S III General] encryptioncsta:
its all a ****ing marketing ploy to get u to think its all orange, when its not even the orange app thats does the work...all the orange app is there for is to then direct u to the barclaycard app lol total joke big time
[Galaxy S III General] brins0:
I'm really interested to see if we can use this on other networks. I think it's silly that the technology is there for all to enjoy, but some company has decided better...

Do you know if it allows you to use any cards, or is it just barclaycards?
[Galaxy S III General] encryptioncsta:
damn wife is now on a night out lol :(

iv downloaded the root explorer app but need her phone to get the app lol

ill report my progress in a few hours and with luck ill upload the file here on xda for all:):p
[Galaxy S III General] encryptioncsta:
yes it has allowed her to attached any card to the service

hers is a lloyds visa debit,
[Galaxy S III General] AndyCr15:
Did you say her phone was rooted? (I guess it will need to be to pull the app) It's rooted and this NFC payment app works still?
[Galaxy S III General] encryptioncsta:
yes her phone was already rooted, just waiting to install root explorer onto her phone when i see her tonyt, then ill try it on my s3 and my nexus 7 tablet,

see iknow when using the orange app you need to turn off wifi cause its trying to read the network but once u then launch the barclaycard app u can use network or wifi hence at the time of using it with no sim we had no sim in and used wifi to connect and worked fine as before, im hoping to get this running on my rooted s3 with cm10 and am on the o2 network so it it works i think its safe to assume it will work for all...well lets hope so iv been waiting since forever to get google wallet here in the uk and so much for the olympics fail of no app i guess google will probs never release the google wallet app here in the uk kinda like how we may never get google music and proper google video google mags

anyways if this works from my experience of using it today it works perfect, the app it as good as it needs to be and incase you all wanna know its just a pre-payed card you top-up kinda like what google wallet had but hopefully they will replace that with just direct card payments soon,

i wonder when other networks will get there nfc wallet apps out, sucks i cant try this rytnow she wont be home until after midnight so i guess ill be up all nyt getting this working
[Galaxy S III General] LJE:
Shouldn't she be in the kitchen doing the dishes?

;) jokes
[Galaxy S III General] encryptioncsta:
lol she works all week and shes away out with my parents for a drink, i fancyed sitting in with a curry and the dog watching tv lol

iknow sad also probs play sum gears 3 tonyt or black ops zombies :p
[Galaxy S III General] Dr.Paul:
Well I downloaded it from the play store after I put my orange sim in the s3 but it would not work. I looked on the orange site and they state there that you need a different SIM.
[Galaxy S III General] encryptioncsta:
lmfao!

the orange app yes but its the barclays app thats then downloaded thru the orange quick tap wallet app that is the 1 i am talking about...anyways shouldnt be too long and i can attempt to get this working on my cm10 o2 handset with any special type of sim
[Galaxy S III General] encryptioncsta:
k guys iv been trying to do this for the first time...i have used root explorer and managed to find the apk file its 3mb and copyed and attempted to install on my s3 but during the installation it ends saying not installed :(

do i need to also find the app data from her phone aswell?
[Galaxy S III General] jdta09:
I just bought it sim-free. Kies says PDA:LG8/PHONE:LH1/CSC:LG8(BTU)

[Galaxy S III General] mikeycollins13:
So maybe quick app is detecting that my tmobile US rom is rooted and that is what stops the Barclays app from appearing?
[Galaxy S III General] krs360:
I have my NFC sim, installed quick tap on stock orange ROM, signed up, got my £50 credit.

But when I open the quick tap app, it says no services installed and takes me to the Barclaycard website again... any ideas?
[Galaxy S III General] davem1919:
When you open wallet do you not see the barclaycard box with a green dot ??
[Galaxy S III General] sorrowuk:
Quick question.

So I have an unbranded sim free galaxy s3 was bought standalone so I don't have a contract.

Can I get a orange nfc microsim without being on orange payg or contract ?

Can I phone them and request one?

Or is there anyway to get one of these sims?
[Galaxy S III General] AndyCr15:
Really? Think about it. Really?
[Galaxy S III General] sorrowuk:
What if I am a new customer and want to join orange on payg and want a nfc sim ?
[Galaxy S III General] AndyCr15:
Then you would then be on Orange PAYG. You said if you weren't on Orange PAYG...

I don't think they're doing it for PAYG though anyway.
[Galaxy S III General] krs360:
Nope!

And this ROM is ****e!
[Galaxy S III General] AndyCr15:
Wait, you've just registered and are opening the app again? You have to wait 30 minutes or so for a notification that you're good to go. Then the app itself will install.

What you're seeing is normal.
[Galaxy S III General] krs360:
It's been 3 hours!
[Galaxy S III General] AndyCr15:
Okay, I don't think you gave any time frame before. Have you been on to the Barclaycard website and asked to re-send? (I'm sure I said this in the video I did, so I assume you have already...)
[Galaxy S III General] -josh-:
Yeah I would change firmware to the latest orange and try again. That is exactly what my phone was doing.

When I pressed on the Barclaycard logo and said install again and then logged in as an existing customer it said I hadn't completed the registration press to complete. And just repeated that process until I updated to the most current orange firmware.

I am currently using omega jellybean which also works but I would definitely change your firmware and try again.
[Galaxy S III General] krs360:
Ok, all up and running now.

Before I restore my nandroid, can anyone confirm it runs on rooted jb?
[Galaxy S III General] demon-knight:
The good: Orange finally sent the right sim out.

The bad: It didnt work for me on a custom rom without doing the below procedure, changing csc doesnt do anything either. It just kept saying my phone wasnt compatible

The How-to: Download official orange rom, i used this I9300BVBLG2_I9300ORABLG1_ORA from sammobile

Use pc version of odin and install rom. for me it got stick on samsung logo which is expected. This is where you need to go into recovery and do a full wipe.

Once the phone booted I had a N logo near the clock at the top.

Install quicktap from the market then load the app.

It will then take you through various screens to register the phone and your card details.

Once this is done it will install the barclaycard app.

Put your pin in and then it will take you to the balance screen and you should have a nice crisp £50 credit.

Now for the second part, download cf-root and flash.

Install Titainium or similar and backup the quicktap and barclaycard app and data and make a copy on your computer/dropbox/etc. (not sure if you need quicktap but I did anyway)

Install Rom of your choice im using Omega 27.1 which I took a nandroid of earlier

Install titanium again, copy and restore the 2 apps backed up earlier.

Now, pat yourself on your back and have a beer if it worked for you.

Apologies for rough guide, im not saying this will work for everyone but it did for me, so am posting in the hope it helps others.

Dont forget to thank me if it did :)
[Galaxy S III General] -josh-:
I tried that with rgui miui and it was a no go. But on omega it just installed fine from the market for me, maybe because I had already set it up. I don't know it's all very confusing.
[Galaxy S III General] ghostofcain:
Up and running on CheckROM. Flashed stock firmware setup quicktap and barclays app added credit and waited for update, when done go into download mode flash clockwork, boot into clockwork and create nandroid of stock rom with working quicktap, restore CheckROM nandroid, reboot. Finally restore quicktap from stock nandroid using titanium backup, and you should have fully functional quicktap on CheckROM. BTW all seems functional, can see balance in barclays etc but have yet to purchase anything.
[Galaxy S III General] stunno:
I bought my unbranded S3 from Dialaphone with an Orange contract on launch day and am still on stock everything and not rooted.

My Quick Tap SIM turned up this morning, I registered it and installed the quick tap wallet, then followed the instructions to register with Barclaycard.

5 minutes later I'm £50 better off!!

TYVM
[Galaxy S III General] krs360:
Everything is running just fine for me on rooted XXDLIB.

I set it all up on the stock Orange ROM listed a few pages back, then rooted with CF-Root, TB'd the apps, restored my JB nandroid, then restored the apps.

Then the fun began - The app lists local shops which accept contactless payments... but they're all wrong! I went to three different shops which were on the list, none of them accept it!! Looked like a right chump waving my phone around!

The McDonalds in Exeter has just been refitted, and has new card machines which don't take it. The only place I have found is Greggs, and there's only so many sausage rolls I can eat!
[Galaxy S III General] ghostofcain:
Lol, about £50s worth I suspect.
[Galaxy S III General] -josh-:
Have you tried m&s they do contactless payment.
[Galaxy S III General] Sanukk:
Hi All

During the install I was initially told my phone was not compatible, but when I tried changing the browser (I use Dolphin HD as my default) from desktop to mobile mode, it went through with no problems. This could be what is causing the problems for those who can't get this working.

I'm in Exeter too (but have not had a chance to try my credit yet), have you found http://www.visa.co.uk/en/products/contactless.aspx to be any better than the app? I was thinking about getting a few pints in Coolings if their listing is accurate LOL
