[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Broo:
Hey all,

I tried to do a decent search before asking, so I apologize if this has been asked and my search skills aren't all that I though they were... ;)

I have the T-Mobile Galaxy S III and I am loving it (came from a Verizon Galaxy Nexus). One of the reasons for my upgrade is the Bluetooth 4.0 support. To go with this, I recently purchased a Polar H7 Bluetooth heart rate monitor (Bluetooth 4.0 LE).

After failing an attempt to pair (phone will see the hardware address, but trying to pair returns an 'invalid pin or code'. A similar attempt on my Nexus 7 met with the same results.

A search of the internet (and the Amazon forums) returned information that there is not a Bluetooth 4.0 API for Android 4.0 (or 4.1);

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10041378/bluetooth-smart-4-0-gatt-support-in-android-4-0

Apparently the Galaxy S III (and the Nexus 7) has a Bluetooth 4.0 capable radio, but Google has not provided access to this as of yet. It also appear that Motorola had written custom drivers for the RAZR and the Droid 4 to enable their devices Bluetooth 4.0 support.

It was my misunderstanding that the Galaxy S III has Bluetooth support; I read the Engadget review and assumed that it was already there with ICS. :( (I tried the latest JB leak and still no luck on 4.0)

Does anyone have any insight as to when Google may release Bluetooth 4.0 drivers? Or is it possible for someone to extract the Motorola drivers and re-work them for other devices?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jgalan14:
I understand your frustration and it sucks, try to contact Samsung I guess, and btw engadget says that's just because of specifications not bacuse they actually tested, if you read the review it didn't say it was tested at all so yeah, some reason why I never believe reviews lol

ok hey guys just need a little help i dumped my android rom to my memory card with terminal emulator i just want to know how to install my dumped rom just in case i need to re-install the dumped rom thanks for all the help
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] growthweb:
Hello, I so hope someone can help. I just updated my galaxy tab 2 7 p113 to Android 4.0.4 UEBLH2. That was done automatically from samsung. I wanted to then install the newest update to 4.1.1 jellybean. So I downloaded it from this link. http://www.trickytweaks.com/update-...ecli4-4-1-1-jelly-bean-ota-test-firmware.html. I put the official Android 4.1.1 UEBLH2 Firmware on my sdcard then held down my power and up volume and installed it. HOWEVER, it never finished installing. Went all the way to the end. Now I HAVE NO USB CONNECTION and NO BOOT UP. Just black Since I dont have usb connection I cant us oden. CAN ANYBODY PLEASE HELP? I still can put files on my micro disk card and then put sd disk in my tab and use the power button up arrow to install something but I tried installing clockwork mod but that did not work. Iam out of ideas. P.S. My tab IS NOT ROOTED. I tried updating back to and original rom 4.04 I download but that did work. Thank you. :(
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Mohamedselim:
I think you need to enter the download mode volume down+power or recovery mode volume up+power to be able to restore the tab

Try multiple times close the tab even with long pressing power then try the button combinations (press both for multiple seconds) and release to see if you could enter any mode

If you reached download mode try flashing stock firmware for your tab specific model 3113 or 3110 or 3100 via odin (install kies and reboot before)

If you reached recovery (stock) then connect with kies and choose recover firmware from kies options (near the word file in top) you should have active internet connection

You could try charging tab even for some hours before trying button cobinations

If not try to return as not rooted so warranty is goood

[Galaxy Tab 2 General] dictionary:
Yup, this should get you going again. If you can get into download mode, you should be okay. That's what Odin needs.

Download mode is volume down plus power. Then volume up

Recovery mode is volume up plus power.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] growthweb:
I want to thank both the posters on trying to help me. I did hold down the power and download button and it went in to the download mode. HOWEVER, since I can not access usb it did not do anything. Just kept saying downloading. As I mentioned in my first post I CAN ACCESS MY SD DISK FILES by doing the power up button thing. Thats the only way I can get files on. But the DOWNLOADING down arrow just does not do anything. hmmmmmmm will keep plugging away. :)
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Mohamedselim:
I can not understand how you can not access usb, is it a lacking driver so download kies and reboot and try connect again ,also try a different usb ports (esp the rear of case) of your computer

Was usb working before the problem?

do you have cwm or stock recovery?

If cwm so download cm10 or cm9 from www.teamhacksung.org and put in usb card and flash but do a cash delete and dalvik delete afterwards not for boot loop

If stock so try stock firmware from www.samfirmware.com (register their first) and put in sd card and try to flash

[Galaxy Tab 2 General] dictionary:
I think you're misunderstanding download mode. When you get the device in download mode, connect it then to the computer, with Odin open. The only reason Odin wouldn't recognize it would be a driver issue. In that case, do as the previous poster stated. When you're in download mode, you're strictly flashing through Odin. You aren't going to see the device as a storage device on the computer. The only way your computer can interact with it at this point is Odin. Via Odin, flash the proper p3113 firmware file from sammobile/samfirmware (will be a large 600mb+ file). Once that's done, you should then be back to completely stock and healthy recovery and ROM. Reboot tab and see what happens. If it boots, and you still want to update, then make sure you get the correct ota for the base file you just flashed (that is, if you're trying to upgrade to say Jellybean). If you need more help always ask, but you should be fine. If I lived nearby I'd do it for you.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] growthweb:
All I can say is unbelievable help here! Thank you. I am spending hours on this (plus a fortune on this new Tab 2 7). After studying up I do now understand how Odin works and how grabbing the correct firmware will do the job. HOWEVER (maybe others come across this huge roadblock) nothing can be done with out usb interaction. I DID DOWNLOAD KIES and installed it. But no matter what I do can not get any storage device listed or anything going on between tab and computer. Only thing my Tab does is when I plug it in to the computer via usb is go in to charging mode with the charging icon showing. Loading Odin does not show any connection. I have tried different computer USB plugins, 3 different computers (all I have loaded Kies on). Iam sooooooo close. If only while in the POWER BUTTON DOWN ARROW DOWNLOAD MODE and running ODIN on my computer there would be a connection I would be home free and able to flash firmware.

Don't use kies. Install the Samsung driver for mobile phones (Google it).
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] gw4141:
Download Mode

Once you are in download mode, connect your tab to the computer with the usb connection.....you should see a com xx number pop up in Odin in yellow reporting your device is connected thru a communication port. From there you will be able to choose the file you want as a PDA uncheck everything else...reboot...reset timer....whatever. Just make sure you have the correct firmware. There is a Odin flashback to Stock rom in the development section. Make sure it's for your device. Once you start Odin, should take about 4 mins...disconnect and hold the power button down to reboot. That's it....
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] growthweb:
Hello Everyone Again, I just want to say thank you for all of you who took the time to help. I hopefully will become knowledgeable enough to help people in the forums as I gain knowledge. I finally did find the solution. I did everything that was mentioned. And no matter what what I did with KIES drivers Samsung usb drivers, etc could not get a connection so I could us Odin to keep me back to the orgiginal 800 mb 4.04 original file. My solution was (as mentioned) I deleted all my windows drivers dealing with usb, kies, etc. Then rebooted. I notice even though I did not have a direct usb connection showing up now Odin was showing a connection! So using Odin I got to restore everything and now back to like new. Lesson learned. Hope this helps others that almost fatally brick their tablets. Thanks again for all our help :)

Is there any way to save my tablet if there is NO firmware out?

Im talking about the SCH I705, I followed the root guide, and it got ****ed up.

Unable to boot into recovery (it goes to Odin "could not do normal boot.")

Tablet seems unresponsive sometimes (to power on/off)

Will boot cycle occasionally

???????????????????
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Paulli1:
You have to reflash your tablet using ODIN. It's not that hard. Just follow the second method here (you don't need to download android SDK)

copy this in your navigator bar : rootzwiki . com/topic/37272-verizonsch-i705-root-for-all-current-firmware/ ( delete space around the dot)

Plus, your tab will be rooted.

You're welcome.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xenster:
I'm using Synergy r73 w/ Ziggy build 0542. I'm also using SetCPU. These are the things I've done recently which I believe could be contributing the random reboots. Today I browsed to a website on Chrome which caused a random reboot. I dunno why, but I tried it again to make sure it was the website that caused it. The website was tuckerrocky.tv to be exact. Anyways, after two tries I figured it wasn't a good idea to try again so today I was gaming on my desktop with my phone playing some mp3s I have on my external SD card and then it rebooted again mid-song.

So, I know that's not much to go on, but any ideas?

Checking out your current system

Some individual applications may not be compatible, particularly if they require low-level access to the operating system—as, for example, antivirus packages do. Similarly, some hardware drivers may be incompatible, though Windows 8 setup will usually (but not always) replace those Compatible Parts with supported drivers.

The easiest way to check out compatibility issues is to run Windows 8 setup. You can download the Windows 8 release preview, create a DVD (or install it to a USB flash memory key) and run Setup, making sure to answer ‘yes’ when the setup program asks you to download the latest version of setup. Note that you don’t have to install Windows 8; the nice thing about the installation routine is that it first performs a compatibility check.

Upgrading to the right hardware

You need a new graphics card. Or the 19-inch, 1280-by-1024-pixel LCD panel you’ve been using for years is finally starting to fade. Or you’re contemplating buying something as simple as a new mouse and Laptop Keyboard .

If you need to upgrade any piece of hardware, take time to research what will work best with Windows 8. Even if you don’t plan on upgrading immediately, new hardware tends to offer better features, performance, or both. Let’s look at a couple of examples.

Why is titanium backup a must have app?

For moving apps from phone to SD memory there are far better apps than tb. For example the mentioned link2sd.

Tb is good for backing up apps.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] gregbradley:
Yes, but as the above post says link2sd is better at "moving" apps to the SD card than TB, thats because actually movinh the app often breaks the widget element of the app so you can no longer have widgets, whilst link2sd moves "most" of the app to the sd card but still allows widgets to be used.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aerohp:
I got an Atrix from a friend who was having problems with it.

I tried turning it on and it stays tuck in a boot loop with the "Dual Core Technology" screen.

I tried a couple of key combinations to see if I could get to fastboot but nothing works. So far I've tried the following combinations:

1. holding the volume up button while powering on

2. holding the volume down button while powering on

3. holding volume up + volume down while putting the battery in and then pressing the power button

4. holding volume up + volume down while putting the battery in and then letting go of volume down and pressing the power button

5. holding power and volume up button while putting the battery in

I also tried this. After holding down the volume up button and pressing the power button, i tried hitting the volume down button once and then hitting volume up, hitting it twice and then volume up, 3 times and volume up, etc. etc. and then plugging in the phone to the computer, just in case the fastboot menu was there but I couldn't see it, but that doesn't seem to work either.

As it stands right now, all I'm getting is the boot loop. The phone had been sitting around for a while so I'm not really sure what the history is so all I have to go off of is what I have in front of me.

I'd appreciate any help in the matter.

Can you tell more history of the phone?

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aerohp:
I'm pretty sure its not rooted and almost certain its the stock rom but I have no idea about the bootloader. My friend is not very tech-savy so I'm guessing that the bootloader is locked.

I have no way to verify any of this. All I have at this point is the phone that sits looping at the "dual core technology" screen.

If you have any ideas about which way to proceed from here, I'd greatly appreciate it!

What exactly is happening (down to the last detail) when you boot while holding Vol(-)?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aerohp:
When I have the volume down button pressed while booting, the green led stays on for 4-5 seconds, then the phone boots to the dual core screen, it'll stay there for about 5-7 seconds, then go to the M logo with the ripples and then the screen goes black for a second and then it loops back to the dual core screen. Only, this time, there is no delay between the 'dual core technology' screen and the M logo with the ripples.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] upndwn4par:
Try this:

1) Remove battery

2) Replace battery while holding volume down button

3) Navigate to recovery

Should get you out of the loop.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joelorona:
Maybe the easiest way to get make it work again would be to flash the original stock rom with RSDLite.

It's very easy, you just need to connect your phone via fastboot ( when powering on hold vol(-) key until it says fastboot), then press vol(+) and the computer will detect it.

Just remember to flash the correcto sbf for your phone, otherwise you will have another bootloop.

My friend has a rooted epic 4g touch, switched to a evo for a little then switched back now can activate it all the way. Any way to activate it with out going all the way back to stock or even with out changing rom cause for reason he doesn't have a custom recovery? I don't know what he did haha.he's running aokp
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
He has to be on a twiz rom to use the epst dialer codes for activation. There's no way around it on aosp based roms unfortunately. His best bet would be to Odin, one click, or mobile Odin el26 make a nandroid, flash a twos based rom(any will do build number doesn't matter it can be GB or ICS based) activate the phone, put el26 back on and restore his nandroid, make sure he flashes the bootimg from aokp, after restoring so he has a kernel that will boot it. To get the bootimg from aokp download the aokp zip and any kernel zip, open both as archives in 7zip drag the bootimg from aokp into the kernel zip and let it overwrite the existing boot img, save the archive and rename it to aokp kernel or whatever so he knows what it is and then flash it in recovery after he does the restore. Also he could flash it before doing the nandroid so all he has to do is restore it so he doesn't forget tto flash the kernel after doing the nandroid. So the short list is as follows:

1) Odin or mobile Odin el26

2) boot to recovery

3) make nandroid

4) flash twiz based rom

5) activate phone

6) repeat step one

7) repeat step two

8) restore nandroid

9) flash aokp bootimg

10) profit

Alternative route

After step two do step nine then proceed skipping step nine
