strange

That is strange. I took my phone right out of box with v10a, right away it updated to v10b, so to v10d and then to v10f. I didnt register or anything at all.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Jouzofski:
well I know...there is no answer over the google either...no one has this kind of problem

I will keep searching
[LG Optimus 4X HD] muellersmattes:
Have you tried to directly flash a .kdz file? That should help, as your device came with 10a it should be a normal one and no developer.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Jouzofski:
I havent tried it yet...I will today when I come home...

I was researching a little...

how can I be sure that phone is not developer edition?

I got that phone for free from a cousine working in local lg office...:) he was saying that it's the final version...

there is a encription on the back of the model NOT FOR SALE...so that means it a developer edition, or not?

ofcourse, software is version v10a....

maybe it's not registred for sale so it wont update?

I found some tutorial, does someone know will that help and could I brick it this way? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1861942
[LG Optimus 4X HD] RuedasLocas:
If you'll try the normal flash, you'll brick it almost for sure.

By that method you'll be able to flash it.

Pay attention to the tutorial before you start!
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Jouzofski:
I did everything as in the tutorial...but I stopped at step 8...

I am using win 7, 64 bit edition and I connected to my laptop win xp 32 bit edition, I manage to install everything, but when I connect phone (vol up and usb cable) the computer never finds omap4430...when I look at device manager i get a new hardware for about 3 seconds and then everything dissapears...

I don't undestrand...

does it maybe has to be win 7 and 32 bit operational system or something else...

tnx anyway

[LG Optimus 4X HD] Jouzofski:
I just tried it but no helpo for me here...thanks anyway
[LG Optimus 4X HD] RuedasLocas:
As far as I know, the flash method for developers phones must run in 32bit system.

About retail phones, just try to download the KDZ version you want to and flash it with the normal methode.

Good luck
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Jouzofski:
I tried everything for updating like developer and didn't succeded...then i decided to risk and tried it with the normal methode and it worked...:)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] RuedasLocas:
Maybe even without sucess, when you flash by the "development way" (let's call it like that for now...), you overwrite the file system allowing to perform the normal flash after that.

Good for you.

If I trade it, will I still have insurance/warranty? How much money will it cost to trade them?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] inaudible101:
Huh?

If you're just looking to upgrade your best bet is selling it on cl or ebay and then trying to pick up a used s3 unless you have an upgrade available. Other than that I have no idea what you asking unless you know a place the does trade in discounts on new phones. Which if that's the case it would probably be a rip off and you're still better off doing what I said.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MarsHD2:
If I trade it, will I still have insurance/warranty? How much money will it cost to trade them?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] psykhotic:
As far as I know insurance can only be added when you first get the phone. That's a question you need to ask tmo though. To trade phones why not unlock the sim and sell it on ebay? Or trade with a friend? Again there is way too much variation to just ask these questions to random people though so call tmo.
[Android General] TherynK:
Recently I decided to start using Juice Defender, but after two days of use, I figured I could do the same thing or better with Tasker. Personally, I was annoyed with the lack of a delay between turning my screen off and JD turning off my data. Sometimes I would turn off my screen for 10 seconds and see that the data was off (and my phone had yet to even lock). I had to reinstall Pandora after this because it would give me an error every time it loaded. The purpose of this post is to give other people ideas about how to replace Juice Defender, and to perhaps get ideas from others about how to improve upon this. These profiles will do two things:

1) Wait 4 minutes after my screen is turned off (I have it set to lock after 2 minutes of screen off) to turn off mobile data and auto-sync.

2) Wait 12 minutes after data/auto-sync are turned off to turn them back on for 1 minute and repeat this process every 12 minutes until phone is unlocked.

There are 3 profiles and each is linked to one task.

Profile: Screen Off (24)

Event: Display Off

Enter: Net Off (25)

A1: Wait [ MS:0 Seconds:0 Minutes:4 Hours:0 Days:0 ]

A2: Mobile Data [ Set: Off ] If [ %SCREEN ~ off ]

A3: Auto-Sync [ Set: Off ] If [ %SCREEN ~ off ]

A4: Variable Set [ Name:%DATA To: off Do Maths: Off Append: Off ] If [ %SCREEN ~ off ]

Profile: Screen On (26)

Event: Display Unlocked

Enter: Net On (29)

A1: Mobile Data [ Set: On ]

A2: Auto-Sync [ Set: On ]

A3: Variable Set [ Name:%DATA To: on Do Maths: Off Append: Off ]

A4: Stop [ With Error: Off Task:Ping ]

Profile: Ping (34)

Event: Variable Set [ Variable:%DATA Value: off ]

Enter: Ping (32)

A1: Wait [ MS:0 Seconds:0 Minutes:12 Hours:0 Days:0 ]

A2: Mobile Data [ Set: On ] If [ %DATA ~ off ]

A3: Auto-Sync [ Set: On ] If [ %DATA ~ off ]

A4: Wait [ MS:0 Seconds:0 Minutes:1 Hours:0 Days:0 ] If [ %DATA ~ off ]

A5: Mobile Data [ Set: Off ] If [ %DATA ~ off ]

A6: Auto-Sync [ Set: Off ] If [ %DATA ~ off ]

A7: Perform Task [ Name:Ping Stop: Off Priority:1 Parameter 1 (%par1): Parameter 2 (%par2): Return Value Variable: ] If [ %DATA ~ off ]

I struggled with the "Ping" task for a while before coming to do it this way. The Ping profile will wait until the data is turned off, wait 12 minutes, then do a 1 minute ping, turning data and sync back on. This process will be repeated every 13 minutes and will be stopped only when I unlock my phone. However, I'm worried that it will keep my phone awake or end up taking more battery than necessary.

P.S. Obviously this doesn't take current network activity into consideration, but I figure that most things that I do in the background, I do on a charger. When running Pandora in my car, I keep my screen stay on and plug it in. When updating apps, I do so on Wifi. I may encounter apps that require me to change this profile, but until then, this is all I need.

EDIT: This latter context (Ping 2) does not appear to work now that I've tested it for weeks and looked at the logs. This could explain why the "Ping" context wakes your phone more often than "Ping 2". I'm leaving this so that maybe someone that is more informed can help me make it work.

[Android General] electricpete1:
What is the purpose of pinging periodically... just to check for new emails?
[Android General] TherynK:
Yes, and any other things requiring an internet connection. Google Talk, Facebook, etc. Juice Defender has this very same functionality. That's where I got the idea.
[Android General] TherynK:
So, I should mention that after a couple of days I've had a lot of success with the timer-based Ping task (Ping 2 listed above). The other (Ping 1) does seem to keep my phone awake more, but also works decently.

[Android General] SuperMonkey:
Thanks for this, I've just installed Tasker and this is the first thing I've tried. So far it looks to be working well - I have BetterBatteryStats installed and for the previous two days it was showing my battery consumption as being around 5-6% per hour. So far with this profile running in Tasker its down at 3% per hour so I'm happy :)

I've not got JuiceDefender installed so can't compare it with that just now but if I get a chance to I'll put it on (and then maybe GO Power Master) and see how they stack up. I prefer the idea of tasker though as it seems to be able to replace several apps in one.
[Android General] papete:

I also recommend Llama

It can do almost everything that tasker (and obviously more things than JD) does and for free

Search it on Play store

I tested Tasker, JD, and Llama and i also find the last one more stable, so im using it actually

[Android General] archiles:
Hi,

i've created tasker profile with this.

but i want to limit the profile to run only from certain time of the day (7:00 - 23:00), 23:00 - 7:00 no sync, no internet connection.

how do i set this up ?

I have a profile set up already to turn off all connection from 23:00 - 7:00, will my profile override the sync?

Thank you
[Android General] tharansakthi:
Is there any plugin or event to monitor the downloading speed of mobile data. The idea is to set a event trigger which triggers the "Net Off"-task if the download goes under certain threshold. For example if I set threshold as [50 KB/10 seconds] then the event is triggered soon the download speed goes under 50KB and for stays below continuously for more than 10 seconds.

I saw the above feature in Juice Defender Plus/Ultimate version. This cuts the data after all downloads is finished. In the profiles you shared it cuts the data after 4 mins even some download is going on. The another issue is data stays on for 4 mins even after it is not needed or all downloads are finished.
[Android General] ethanon:
Hello TherynK,

This post really looks promising .. I have tried to build this profile but getting a little confused at the last step of the PING part. Is there a was to simplify that and would it be possible if you can post the profile download linke...

Thanks
[Android General] TherynK:
The purpose of the last step is to have the Ping task run again and again as long as the screen stays off. I'll provide the XMLs to make things easier, apologies for not doing so in the first place:

I tried to use JD but it was very annoying. Since I discovered Tasker, I created user profiles to turn off mobile, Wifi, etc., and it's been working better than expected.
[Android General] sudeeps:
These profiles look good. Any inputs on how these are performing ?

I'm new to tasker, so can we have these profiles and sync schedules run only from let's say 10:00 to 19:00 during weekdays only?

Cheers
[Android General] TherynK:
I did not really do any rigorous testing and actually I'm using a Nexus 5 now, while I was using a GNex when I wrote this, so I don't use it anymore.

In order to make it run during a certain time period, you can add a context to each profile for those hours. For instance, for the Screen Off profile, click on the profile, then long press on "Display Off." Click on "Add," then "Time." From there, just enter the time range that you desire.
[Android General] kiellapa:
Refreshing the topic with some notes and question

Hi, I know that the tread is quite old but I tried the profiles posted here just recently. I found that during the screen off state scheduled syncing works only on wifi (I’ve got a profile which switches wifi off when I’m not at home). So when I was out – nothing happened. I knew that my phone has a pop-up alert function which needs me to confirm by clicking OK button every time I try to switch to mobile data. Of course when the screen is off I couldn’t see this pop-up but I thought that this is the thing which is blocking the sync scheduled by tasker. I’m quite new to this app but I managed to add some press actions simulating me pressing OK button on the pop-up notification just after switching mobile data on. I’m testing this right now but it seems to work. I just noticed some problems with syncing my calendar, but this might has nothing to do with the automation process, I’m not sure. On my battery stats I saw that calendar app jumped to the highest position.

My main concern is the way android deals with auto syncing on its own. For example – how often does calendar sync starts normally? Because now, with tasker automation profiles, it starts every time my screen goes on and every 12 minutes when it’s off. So my thinking is – if syncing a calendar takes a long time (and in my case it looks like it does) and uses a lot of juice, making it start every 12 minutes might not be a good idea if normally it syncs not that often. There definitely were situations when I used my phone for over then 12 minutes checking the notification bar every 1 – 2 minutes without seeing the sync rotating icon. So it would mean that tasker makes it to use more juice than normal use.

I would gladly know what do you think about it. Maybe your original profiles are already out of date and you figured a better ones?

One more thing – I noticed that the PING profile downloadable file you posted does not match neither the original ping scrip nor the ping 2 one you published in the first post.

All in all – thanks for the post as it made my tasker skills much higher! :D
[Android General] RadeonXTX:
Thanks for this.

Just to add on: For folks who are running Lollipop.

Instead of using the Data Off feature in Tasker you will need Toggle Data 5.0

Hi there, guys!

I have a problem with Quickoffice. When It tries to open an xls file I get FCs all the time...

This did not happen in the past with version 2.3.5.

I am currently on system version 672.180.33.XT910.Retail.en.EU (build number 6.7.2-180_SPU-19-TA-11.2 - Android 4.0.4)which was flashed with rsdlite after a full wipe on the phone. The phone is also rooted, and that's it. I haven't deleted any bloatware...

Does anyone else experience a similar issue with quickoffice? Any ideas about what should I try to do in order to fix this?

P.S.: Since I installed this version I keep wondering why I did it and did not stick with the good old 2.3.5 version. I am also having issues with other things, e.g. smart actions is not working correctly sometimes - the rules are not being correctly applied, but this is minor...

hi everyone,

I got my S3 from Bell two weeks ago, it worked fine most of the time including calls, sms and data.

but occasionally for whatever reason the phone cannot make call or send sms, no ring for incoming call also. it shows "not registered on network" when I try to dial. at the time showing this error, there was signal on the bar.

maybe after long time, it can registered itself into network again, but most of the time, I just restart the phone and it works fine again.

I called Bell and they asked me to replace the SIM card, so I did, but I still see this error. So I think it is not SIM issue.

anyone has idea what the cause could be? or is there anyway to fix it?

I tried to search online before I ask, just couldn't find a solution so far.

so post here and hope anyone can help,

thanks for the help in advance.

I had this problems with rogers as well. Same as you I contacted rogers they told me to remove the sim and replace it. Worked for a while but kept happening. I got fed up and rooted then installed kyan rom and haven't had the problem since. Not sure if it was rom based or if the factory reset before flashing resolved the issue but haven't had it since. Hope someone figures this out though because it's annoying especially on a new phone that is stock.

Had this problem on bell a few times the first 2 weeks I had my phone. Went to the bell store and without hesitation they told me to change the mobile network mode from gsm/hspa+/lte

To just gsm/hspa+.

Reason given was the Lte network where I was using my phone (west island, montreal) wasn't strong enough. So my phone would switch between networks until eventually it got in that state. Personnaly I think the problem was more signal penetration into the computer lab I work in.

It's been 2 weeks stable so far. A co-worker reported the same problem to me last week and he took my advice and hasn't had the problem since.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bluemoonljb:
Thank you very much for the tip. I was wondering that too, because I noticed that the network icon at top bar keep changing between H+ and LTE by itself. and I wonder why too.

I will try and see what happened.

SAMSUNG i747M not registered on network

I had this samsung s3 i747M from canada. Got it unlocked here in Pakistan. Placed a local sim in it. It recognizes the sim, registers it, makes calls, but then after a while, it shows "not registered on network". i restart, it registers network again, then loses it again. It keeps doing it. sometimes it is registered on network, but can't make or receive calls.

I have tried a number of things but the problem is not resolved and i'm fed up to the point that i want to throw this phone away.

The original rom had android 4.3

here's the list of things i have tried.

* changed the network mode to "GSM only" and "WCDMA/GSM (auto connect)" - NO USE

* Factory data reset a few times - NO USE

* tried a custom rom (it was so bad, i deleted it, don't even remember the name) - NO USE

* stock rom 4.4.2 from "sammobile.com" - NO USE

* tried flashing different modems from "http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1831898" - NO USE

* tried changing the options from *#2263# to my network's specifications - NO USE

* tried sims from different networks - NO USE

I have never had a Samsung phone lose the imei if the phone was unlocked using a code, assuming that is how your phone was unlocked.

Did you try re-injecting the imei with the efs folder? It can be done using nvwriter.
