[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] digitaldopeboy:
Well, I just tryed that for you and I could get into DL mode on cm7 ( Just hold vol up and down for about a second then insert usb)

One click back to bml ( I recommend eollie's one click) then flash to VB :D if that doesn't work pm me WE WILL GET TO THE BOTTOM OF IT :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Yup. As of current, the only ways to get into download mode is:

the vol+ and vol- while plugging in usb (pull the battery for 10 seconds before doing this)

usb download mode jig (301k ohm resister between pins 4 and 5)

ubm resurrection (which injects a download mode from usb)

We are still trying to figure out how to get reboot to download mode working.

I'm experimenting with this in blastoff v3.

Thanks guys I eventually was able to get into download mode but I had to re install the drivers then I just odin'd back to stock with the kj6 and Kc1 files from FB's guide.

Hi,

Do anyone have experience with a broken screen on a Samsung Galaxy s3?

I dropped my phone and it cracked, now the LCD is black and doesnt show anything.

I can still hear email notifications etc.

Is this just a LCD problem or is it MB problem.

sucks to buy a repair kit to 250 dollar if it doesnt work :cowboy:

Thanks :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
Most probably the screen is too defective to show anything.

From this symptom however it's not possible to determine anything - but a totally broken screen is more probable than the motherboard.

Btw it is not an Lcd

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakson0100:
I would say instead of buying repair kit for $$250 just try try to sell your S3 to get a new one .You can easily sell it on swppa or ebay .According to this price report http://www.movaluate.com/samsung/galaxy-s-iii-verizon-blue you can still get $200.00 for your s3 even in NON FUNCTIONAL condition .

Help plz

I didn't break my screen but the contrast material is leaking out... i don't think replacing the screen will help me with that problem will it?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glebun:
yes, it will
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Journyman16:
Unlike most other phones, the S3 screen is bonded to the gorilla glass - crack the glass and you crack the screen, which is why a cracked glass costs $200+ to replace - you are buying a new amoled screen as well. Buy the new screen (or get a service centre to do it) and invest in a book-cover styled case. (has a cradle for the phone and a stiff cover for the screen side)

[MENTION=5338644]duoblade[/MENTION] - the 'contrast' material? Do you mean the screen is fading or are you getting some kind of ooze coming out of the phone? Bit puzzled...

[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Just use the wipe all partitions except sdcard option in 4EXT recovery, does the very same thing.
[HTC Amaze 4G] TheCrow1372:
Thanks bro, kinda figured that part might still be the same as when I used CWM on my Incredible S 2yrs ago also I looked at 2 different kernel posts and for ICS he says right in his post "ONLY S-OFF" phones so I keep getting confused cuz I trust u but those comments throw people off ya know?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Reason why they put that is because a bunch of noobs who don't know what the hell they're doing flash things randomly without knowing what they're dealing with, since s-off requires some researching and adb skills, they push for s-off just to get more advanced users and avoid the noobish bs complaints/issues.

Hey bro yeah if you're using cwm, switch to 4ext it's worth it, use wipe all partitions, faster, easier than Superwipe, trust me I used Superwipe every time before flashing roms :)

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sirachi:
I just flashed my TBolt over to the new Liquid Smooth ICS ROM by AOSP. What an excellent UI, it's very smooth, and it seems to have overall decent battery life. Still playing with it.

While loading a couple of my apps back on, I noticed SMS Backup and VZ Messages no longer work. They both installed with no issues, but when I attempted to use either app, it tells me "Unfortunately, SMS Backup has stopped." I then have the option of reporting the bug or hitting ok. Any ideas?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
Try fixing permissions. If that doesn't work try to download the app again from the market and the restore data from tibu.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sirachi:
Yup, tried all of that and still didn't have any luck.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
That's weird because SMS backup works fine for me. I don't know about the other though because I don't use it.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sirachi:
Thanks for the suggestion though. I like the Verizon Messages application because it allows group text messaging, similar to the iMessages system on the iPhone. If you know of any alternatives, I'm all ears :)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
I think that gosms will do that. I haven't used that in a while though.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sirachi:
Haven't had much luck with gosms pro. Although, I did notice a few bugs when sending out group messages on this ROM. I guess I'll just wait for these bugs to be sorted out as more updates come through. Thanks for your help though!

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gordo1701e:
Hey all!

This question as probably been asked a dozen times but I can't find it if it has. So here goes, Is there a list somewhere of UP TO DATE SGA roms? By up to date I mean current as of 09-17-12. I found one on here and props to the user that compilled it but it was last updated March 2012. These roms develop so quick I'd love to be able to keep track of them all I just don't have the time to search through all the threads and forums. Better yet, is there a way to sort the threads based on the thread type? That way it could be grouped by kernel, rom, etc..Any help/ideas are greatly appreciated.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charlessxavier:
its not the updation matters for a rom.. its all about stability and what and all you expect..

some expect performance and battery life..

some expect cool looks..

its not that updated rom works perfectly always.. sometimes even updates spoil the rom...

so read the whole thread of the rom. replies from peoples.. and then decide on it..

if u tell ur expectations may be we can suggest u the rom
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 121C4:
HugoSilva started a http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1888660

Samsung Galaxy Ace ROM`sthread but got a little bit flamed because all Cooper roms and kernels are already in one of two places: the development section and the original development section. The thread titles in these sections often tell you about the rom like kernel, base, version etc. What you don't get from the title you can definitely get from the op. You don't have to search just scroll, but I would suggest to you that if you are too busy / lazy to search then xda might not be the best forum for you.

I have tried pretty much every rom and if you tell me what you are looking for in a rom I would be happy to give you my opinion on the most suitable for you needs.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gordo1701e:
Thanks for alll the replies guys!

I guess I wasn't making myself clear, it's not that I mind searching/scrolling it's just that with all the threads in here it would be easier to be able to sort them based on type. For instance, if it's a rom it's usually stated as such in the thread title. great that's easy! But, what about being able to sort the thread list so all the "ROM" threads are sorted into one spot? Kinda like a library you know? U go to 900s for Science 800s for sports etc. Same Idea here. I don't see a sort by title/Subject option. only date, which is great but you also get kernels and other stuff mixed in.. Just some thoughts to make things easier for everyone that's all. As far as being called "Lazy" I resent that! If you can't take the time and consideration to answer a simple question without the insults then maybe this forum isn't the place for YOU. Just remeber, you were new at this stuff too at one time and probably had a lot of questions too.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 121C4:
Calm down, mate. I didn't say you were lazy. I said if. And maybe you are too busy! It was not meant to insult you. Yes, I was new at this and I'm certainly no expert but I haven't ever felt the need to start a new thread in 15 months of reading xda (I read for a long time before I signed up) because all the questions I ever wanted to ask have already been asked. If you don't believe me check my profile. I have tried to help you as I do everyone on xda.

If you want all the rom threads organised in a certain way, help yourself. If you think it would be helpful to the xda community post it on here but, as I tried to explain, other people have tried. It is a lot of work to maintain because things change all the time and people expect a thread like that to be up to date. Good luck.

Also, if you are new, as you say, may I suggest that you click the links in my signature as there are good hints and tips for new members.

I'm sorry you didn't find my first reply helpful. I'm sorry if this is not helpful either but both were sent without malicious intent.

Peace

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] j0ep0:
As several System dumps of the Note II software and several people requesting apps, I thought sharing all the APK's as seperate files would be usefull. With big thanks to oka1, sextape and sxtp-forum you can download both the Sprint ans AT&T (both US) Note II (L900) apk's from this link:

Sprint based Note II: http://www.mediafire.com/?nmcbac6m94r9p (lib files)

AT&T based Note II: http://www.mediafire.com/?8ey3nb7u8p54a (lib files)

To install the files, you have three options:

1) Push the files with ADB to /system/app and set the permissions to 644

2) Copy the files with a tool like ES File Explorer to /system/app and set the permissions to rw- r-- r--

3) Create a CWM flashable ZIP file

Please note that some apps are already available as installable zip, e.g. the Camera and Gallery app packed by kristofpetho and the Paperartist & Mediahub app by qureshali. Happy installing/modding/hacking!

[Acer Iconia A500] jon-.-:
I haven't been keeping up with the A500 development for a long time and now I'm trying to get back into it and so much has changed! There seems to be many different ways to accomplish what I want but I cant figure out which would be best for me.

I'm currently on Taboonay 3.0.1 (HC bootloader I THINK) and would like to try some of the newer roms like flexreaper or CM10 but I need to get the ICS bootloader first which is where I get confused. I've read THIS THREAD and I believe option 2 is what I would have to do, is that correct? And option 1 would be if I was stock ICS?

Another question is would it be easier to just go back to stock and go from there?
[Acer Iconia A500] JdgM3NT4L:
You can take a look at a guide that I made for fixing a boot animation issue some people have. It shows the steps for flashing the bootloader. But before you do anything get AfterOta by Gersma here and find your SBK.

Also when you read through that guide just do the automatic APX option instead of the manual one if you can. Other than that it should break it down where it is easy for you.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] squshy 7:
I...highly doubt..that the S4 will be released that soon. Samsung's not dumb.

The only reason they would put out a true successor so soon would be if the technologies involved were fantastic enough. In my mind, that would be a 1080p screen and the exynos 5. Those two probably would warrant a quicker push simply to be very far ahead of the pack.

Though I can't shake this feeling that we'll be seeing the exynos 5 in the next nexus, probably this fall. Nexus' are very much reference models, and releasing the first A15 as a nexus just sounds like such a good idea.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] d12unk13astard:
Samsung always gimps the nexus line of phones so that its galaxy line will sell better. I seriously doubt the next nexus will have the a15 soc, probably the krait. Google needs to give someone else a shot on the next nexus cuz Samsung is not trying to sell out its own galaxy line, I'm not impressed with the past 2 nexus devices.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lilotimz:
As long as the phones actual dimensions do not get bigger (5.5" x 2.5"ish) then it'll be fine for most people i guess. I envision the phone being "launched" like the galaxy s2 intl' at MWC with actual phones becoming on sale near the end of april/early may. Makes most sense with Sammys 1 year upgrade cycle.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] djdlp:
Well seeing I am new to the E4GT. I am enjoying my S2. Come next year, I might be interested in the S4. Hopefully it will have newer features and improvements to make the phone stay very popular like the S2 and my old phone HTC EVO 4G. So far I am enjoying Samsung over HTC.

Now lets see this holiday season if Samsung and HTC throw dirty balls at Apple to delay the I5.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sol_671:
Its google's decision for the specs, they're trying to support more SoC and prove a point its not about power but software. Samsung simply just makes it. If was up to Samsung we would've seen an SD card support already for the nexus

line. I just hate their plastic built.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
I think Samsung releasing a S4 would be a good way to give the iPhone 5 some good competition in the first and second quarter of next year.

Why else would the be pushing the S3 right now? They want to sell as many S3's as they can so they can still finish out this year in the lead of all the competition. Then release the S4 to start the year next year.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cob11341:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elrey75:
Are there still plans to release a Nexus version of the S3 in the fall? I remember reading about a few Nexus devices being available from Google by the Holidays.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Thought all the Nexus devices for this year were being done by Motorola Mobility (other than the Nexus 7)...?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] squshy 7:
That's really just an assumption more than anything else. Considering that most devices have well over a year of development cycle, and that the Google-Motorola deal wasn't finalized too long ago, it probably won't be until next summer that we see the fruits of the relationship.

Samsung still seems like the clear favorite for the next nexus, considering only their manufacturing prowess. HTC has too many problems right now, and LG's just don't sell well. Now Asus...I could really get on board with an Asus made phone. I'd argue they are on a similar plane as Samsung, albiet a slightly different one. Samsung's big advantage is their experience as a fab and foundry. Asus obviously has a celebrated PC motherboard heritage. Both are very good at engineering and design.

Could you imagine a joint-device between them? It will never happen, but I would weed-wack my grandmother for an Asus engineered, Samsung sourced and manufactured, Google coded device.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] naripsta:
No surprise lol. The S3 is still fresh, 2013 is around the corner. No way the S4 releases so soon.

For those that bought the S3 just to keep up with the times, would probably get pissed. I even see some switching over to the iPhone if Samsung releases the S4 so early.
