[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrRundo:
A few weeks ago I flashed a Jelly bean rom which worked just fine, even though it was a bit less smooth than the stock rom. The only problems I was facing were constant wifi disconnects and huge battery drain.

So I decided to go back to stock rom after backing everything up using titanium backup. After doing a factory reset I realized I had stored my backups on the internal SD card, so that was wiped. Guessing there is no way to get that data back, but the data loss aside I am still facing other problems after getting back to the stock rom.

I9300XXLG8 is what I am on atm. The day after I flashed it my touchscreen stopped working everytime I unlocked my screen, so what I did was turn wifi notifications off and disabled Wifi power save mode. It fixed the issue but there is more. My 3g suddenly stops working now and then, it would just be stuck at a certain % when downloading apps from the play store while still saying it's receiving a signal. And then last but not least, I really have this feeling that my battery is still getting drained alot faster than before going to the jelly bean leak and then back to stock.

Also, how do I know what Kernel and modem to use with which ROM?

Help would be much appreciated ;)

I'd take a stab at it being noscript, as the site does depend on javascript to operate (particularly in the new theme)

Perhaps try XDA classic or 2010 if you need noscript?

(or take a look at the scripts, satisfy yourself, and enable them on the CDN domain and main site domain)?

[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] zachf714:
Yes that happened to mine and had to send it in... Guess what...they sent it back with broken pieces on plastic under the zero key and very dinged up... Ha to fix it myself wasent sending it in to them for 2 weeks again just to have it come back messed up
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] MasterDecker:
Mine did the same thing. I sent the keyboard back to them, they sent it back saying it was fine. I called them and complained that not only did they not fix the issue, but that the keyboard INCLUDING shipping time and all was still under 4 months old. They had me send it back in to them, they got it, and within a week I had a brand new one waiting for me when I got home, with a notation that the original one had a loose solder joint that would allow the charging system to "overload" the battery pack and "caused" it to expand, but under normal usages the keyboard should not have done this, it "MUST" have been something I was doing.

I replied back to them that I had the tablet docked and charging overnight as I had used both battery packs to shut down points. They had me send the tablet back this time, and found that there was a "loose" connection between the tablet AND the dock that caused the issue with the battery. They replaced both my new replacement keyboard AND my tablet and extended the warranties for both.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] zachf714:
I decided to not send it back because mine was only 1 month old when I sent it and it came back in horrible condition... i was not waiting 4 more weeks for it back.... and I dont want to reset my tablet because they don't care to do things right in the RMA centers

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tonytober:
Hi everyone,

I am new (noob) user of XDA Deceloppers. If this thread is posted in the wrong category, I'm sorry but I did not know which one to chose D:.

To start, I have a Galaxy Nexus GSM. It is rooted. Stock ROM and stock Kernel.

It is running an OTA 4.1.1 Jelly Bean.

I recently installed a Skinomi wet applicated screen protector on my Gnex. I watched a lot of videos on how to apply wet applicated screen protectors. I am very prudent with applying those stuff. I followed all Skinomi's instructions. I know I did everything right. After applying it, I waited two full days (48 hours) before booting my Gnex back up.

Now, the problem. My volume button is getting weird. Pressing down is flawless, but when I press up, it works only 1/2. The rest works fine. I dont know why it gets like that.

The second problem. I have all the accessories that came with the phone, but not the receipt. I bought it used...

I emailed Skinomi and the seller for help, but no reply up to date.

I love this phone but... this problem is pretty annoying.

Please help me! :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Winesnob:
Water and phones are not good together.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tonytober:
Yeah, I knew that, but after reading a lot of success from others, I wanted to try. This would be my lastvl time with wet screen protectors. Too much to worry for it, and its expensive. Any solution guys? :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MMcCraryNJ:
See if you can take the battery out and leave the phone in a ziplock bag packed with rice for a few days.

Or you can try taking the battery out and using a hair dryer to blow hot air into the volume rocker.

Was this a full body protection kit or just the screen? A ton of people have had issues with the power button and volume rocker after applying a wet screen protector, and I have no idea why these companies don't tell you to cover both with a piece of tape or something before hand, as water getting into the crevices of the device is never a good thing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tonytober:
Thanks for a fast response :)

I will try to put my phone in rice, because hairdryer might be too strong.

Its a screen only protector.

They never told me to tape the buttons! What a good idea.

What would be the worst solution if everything fails?

Is replacing the volume flex hard?

Im so scared!!! I love my phone so much. :'( please help me!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] miketoasty:
Same thing has been happening with my phone for 6 or so months now. Spilled a small amount of water on my phone. Wiped it off and everything works fine but the volume up button is very finicky, not a huge problem just have to tap up 2 or 3 times sometimes to get the volume on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tonytober:
Still using your phone like that?

I really respect you as you can use your phone like that. I just can't stand it. Help!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tonytober:
My recent move

I just bought a new flex volume cable off ebay (cannot link yet, don't have the permission). The seller is 123phone.

I am pretty sure that the cable is damaged, and 5$ is worth a try. Does anyone here tried to solder it? It will be my first time soldering a flex cable, but I have already dont some soldering before. Any tips for the replacement of the flex cable?

Thanks for helping guys. I'm really stressed :S
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] baruf12:
tonytober, I have the exact same issue, only the volume up rocker and it intermittently works.

Did you try to install the flex volume cable, did it work?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] julllleee:
Well my phone got wet and was laying in water for a day or so ( Just a little pool) And i just waited for a week or something and then it started and everything worked :) so water + gnex = Nothing bad, but nothing good :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tonytober:
Sorry for a late reply. Yes I replaced the flex cable and now it works fine.

I will never buy a wet screen protector anymore. Worriness for nothing!

Replacing the flex is not that hard and can be found on eBay for under 8$ so it was pretty fine for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dcsworld:
Hi Tonytober,

I also need to replace mine but have never soldered before. Can you advise how you did it and what tools i would need? is it just the 3 soldering points? i saw the volume flex cable is cheap enough on ebay, its the soldering im worried about!

Thanks

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tonytober:
Soldering is not hard unless you shake a lot. Lol!

For soldering, you need a soldering iron, some lead and your brain (actually, just be careful not to burn yourself).

Sold soldering promoter could help (it's a paste that you could put on the phone to help the lead stick on the phone)

Watch out to not let the iron on the phone too long (stop soldering every 10 seconds lets suppose, rest 10 sec, solder 10 sec) as you don't want to damage your logic board to repair an 8$ ribbon! :laugh:

So yeah.

Open the soldering iron, let it heat up (2 minutes to be safe and chill)

-Heat up the spots where you have to solder on the Gnex's board (3-5 seconds)

-Apply some paste with a Q-tip or a toothpick on the heated spot on the Gnex's board

-Here's a tricky part: use BOTH hands for this (only "hard" part which is not hard, just be careful to not use too much lead):

One hand holds the soldering iron and apply heat on Gnex's board, while the soldering iron's tip is STILL on the Gnex's board, with the OTHER hand, apply lead DIRECTLY on the spot where you need to bond the ribbon-board with the lead. Just put enough that it sticks.

**Tip: When the liquid lead between the ribbon+board (where you soldered) hides the space between them (like glueing paper), blow on the liquid lead. It will make it bond one shot and Voila, it is done.

Just do it nice and slow if it is your first time. The only dangers:

-Don't burn yourself, don't kill yourself. I'm not responsible for any injuries, or Death. :eek: ... :D

-Don't burn the Logic Board (like I told you, 10 seconds solder, 10 seconds cooldown...)

-Don't oversolder (If you boot up with oversolder you might bond two connections and short your phone's Logic board and... your phone will RIP.

In case if you oversolder, don't panic, lead is like a magnet to the iron. Just take your soldering iron and heat up the lead. The iron will suck it up.

After that, take a damp cloth and wipe the soldering iron's tip. Don't burn yourself!!! :D

When everything's done, before you mount your phone, test it. Don't waste your time screwing and unscrewing the phone ;)

If the phone works, clean the soldering iron's tip with a damp cloth when it is still warm-hot.

If the phone works, ENJOY!!!!!!!! :D :D :D

Hope it helps. Keep me updated with your phone.

Nexus lover, Tony
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dcsworld:
Thanks a lot for the advice. It gives me more confidence to try it. Really annoyed that i didnt notice the volume cable was soldered onto the main board, i was following the wrong youtube video which was disassembling a different nexus variation :mad:

I'm glad you mentioned that the lead is applied to the soldering point, i always thought the a bit of lead was first melted onto the iron and then transferred onto the soldering point.

I'll give it a shot once i have all the parts and update the thread on the results

Thanks

DC
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tonytober:
No problem at all. The Gnex should rather be fixed than be thrown away, auch a good phone :)

Tell me when you did it! Hope you get it fixed soon. If something goes wrong or you have any questions, ask!!! Xda'a here for that.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dcsworld:
I finally got round to attempting this and it ended up a failure

First of all i noticed i only had 2 soldering points (metal bits) on the main pcb board (the middle one was missing) and the new volume cable had 3, so the middle one must have been pulled off with the old volume cable, Anyway, i decided to go ahead and try soldering the 2 outer connections.

1st attempt, i managed to make the 2 connections, although it looked very messy. Tested them and the volume down button was working! unfortunately the volume up button was not. So i heated the iron up again and attempted to apply more solder to the connections hoping this would improve the connection. Result: both buttons not working! the whole area is black now on both the main board and the volume cable, so i must have damaged all the soldering points and broken the working connection in the process. i found the solder was sticking to the iron forming blobs of hot solder rather than where i wanted the connection to be made. i must have been doing something wrong

Hmm i think im just going to live without the buttons now and rely on the volume controls within the rom until the next nexus is out. Might even volume cable and attempt this again at that point.

Thanks a lot for your help anyway, it was useful experience! :)

I had CM10 on my phone, and today I tried flashing back to stock and now am stuck on the Samsung logo on boot.

Here's the process I've followed:

Wipe/Factory reset using CWM

Deleted everything on internal SD card

Downloaded T999UVALEM_T999TMBALEM_T999UVALEM_HOME.tar.md5

Flashed using Odin

Odin said successful, but on reboot it never gets passed the Samsung logo

I tried flashing again, but the same issue is happening. Any ideas? I'm at a loss of what to try next.

If you are trying to flash stock rom you need to flash stock recovery first. Look for stock recovery and flash it via odin before you flash rom. I can give you link if you need .
