If you read my thread on the secret Android Codes, you will understand what is happening:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1894102

The stock Samsung dialer will execute secret android codes when you enter them without hitting send.

Like *#350# will reboot the phone. (That would be a better exploit example than the factory reset one)

The problem is that NFC or the stock browser will load a tel: into the dialer for you.

Well using the stock dialer that will execute any of those secret android codes.

Most of those secret android codes will not work on CM10/AOSP dialers obviously.

So the fix is to install any other dialer app like exDialer and use it as default app for dialing.

...and an excerpt...

"Samsung has begun pushing out the Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean update for the Galaxy S III, with users in Europe reporting that the new software has showed up through the KIES update app. The 282.5MB update includes Google’s new Project Butter interface acceleration and support for Google Now, though is being pushed out via tethered upgrade rather than OTA (over-the-air) tipsters told AllAboutSamsung."

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdemons12:
So I have just installed the stock jelly bean on my phone and decided that the touchwiz crap used too much RAM so I installed nova. What I found was that when swiping accross on the home screen the folders and widgets would light up around the edges then "turn off" about a second after the swipe has finished. Another unusual thing was as I swiped the clock widget and would go back a minute while retaining the same time and showing two times at the same time. It shows the normal time the same time as the others go back to normal. So I thought I would try Apex launcher. I then found out it didn't he same thing with the icons but not the clock. Is this an S3 fault or is there a hidden setting for this?

Thanks,

P.S. not sure how to make a thread a question on the xda app

I'm curious as to if this is normal usage for 1.5 hours. This is mostly texting (Handcent SMS), Reddit (Reddit is fun), with a wee bit of Flick Golf, Facebook, and XDA. I'm running CM10 M1 and I have a very minimal amount of apps installed, very few of those are apps that do anything in the background. Do I have a hidden culprit that's draining me or is this normal? VZW GS3, btw.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MrPeter1985:
Well with playing games yes, since it uses more power. If you did play the game, would have been more battery left. I get great battery life outta mine, just txting, surfing some (not streaming video) talking on it, wifi tether some, and still have 50-60% left at night, i have less left when a play more. And my days are all day, 6AM-11pm. So I'm pleased. Much better than my last phone the Samsung Transform Ultra.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] king718:
Hey guys! Im from US. I upgraded my phone when I got the Galaxy s3 but I really want to get the Note 2. No upgrades though =/ So what will my best option be? How much can I sell my S3 for? and should I Buy Us version or UK?

I also have ATT. Will the international note 2 work good or should I wait for ATT one
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] towncop1978:
I would wait till the note 2 comes out to your provider... And then try to buy either a used note or new one straight out... Once you buy the new one you can sell your s3 to cover the cost of your note 2
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowandbehold:
What carrier is your S3? The AT&T and T-Mobile one go for $400-$425, and the Verizon and Sprint ones sell for less than that. I would honestly sell it right now. The value will drop even more when the Note II comes out. It is going to run you between $600-$700 to purchase of contract.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ciscostud:
I sold my international S3 for $540 locally.

Post in Kijiji or Craigs list with good pics. Also go buy a class 2 cheap micro SD card and advertise it a S3 48gb. It will separate you from the competition and make you S3 seem more valuable. I would get the UK version also just for the roms alone.

More info:

http://tweakers.net/nieuws/84578/regel-html-code-kan-galaxy-telefoons-resetten.html

That is a German translation, but per tweakers, the "Galaxy Note" with 4.0.4 update is not vulnerable. I believe it loads the code in your dialer, but does not automatically execute the command.

Again, CM9 / CM10 / AOKP / AOSP based ROMs are not affected. AFAIK, this deals with the way the Samsung Stock Browser handles malformed dialer links by automatically dialing them.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nickshertzer:
Best thing to take away from this:

However, again, it appears it is patched on latest Stock Note 4.0.4 ROMs. But, there is no confirmation that this is the case with older 4.0.3 or GB Stock ROMs.

And this (if you are still worried):
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] monomer888:
Yes when I clicked on a test link using the stock Samsung browser, all I got was the dialler pop up but nothing happened. I'm on the latest stock ICS 4.0.4 LRT ROM.

I sent the same link to a friend with an original Galaxy Tab which is running 2.3.6 Gingerbread and it made his device cough up his IMEI.

To my mind clearly his device was affected, but the stock browser on the LRT ROM at least appears safe.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
Who want to try on Note just for fun

click on this from mobile, it will give you 'Link' press on it.

http://home.mattie-systems.nl/temp/telefoon.html

dont worry this have framed for *#06#, even it work then it will execute your IMEI but nothing

(ps:above posted link is third party link and doesn't exist on my Page or Page in my control, it may change from *#06# to other code without any notice, try at your own risk) though I can confirm on my Note 4.0.4 no codes executes ussd. Code directly)

If this execute your IMEI then OP said code will wipe data on note.

I have tested code one in OP too.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] gedster314:
it has always bugged me that Samsung has so many dial codes. In the CDMA world you have enter the msl/spc, not so on GSM? But then getting the MSL can be rather trivial if the phone is rooted.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] shivg86:
Sir i have overskreen,boat browser,stock browser.shud i delete them???
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] MatanZ:
A trivial workaround: install another dialer (for example, dialer one from the market). Now instead of directly dialing the dangerous code, you are asked which dialer to use.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
How to escape if code get dialed accidentally -

This is just my experience (I don't claim it is safe)

This code first erases data on usb storage, so at first moment you see the screen, just remove battery, you may lose very small amount of data depending on how much time passed to remove battery, I have did this in past(yes on Note only) and I lost just 1-2 data folder, but phone memory was as it is.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Le Ch@land:
Tested on stock 4.0.4 lri rom with the stock web-browers and none code is executed, even if the stock dialer is launched with the link provided by Dr Ketan.

With the app 'ex-dialer pro' this is not the same story, even if the option to auto-execute any ussd code is disabled, the code is executed, so, be carefull...

Specially if you have specified the other dialer as default app, not my case.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] friedje:
With all due respect, I don't think removing a battery during a format or delete operation is a wise thing to do.

I tested on LRG rooted stock rom and Stock browser. It shows the code in the dialer screen but you have to manually click on the call button.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
I think if delete command issuing to sd card, it should not cause issue. Though you are right, I have added line on my post.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ChodTheWacko:
Another work around:

Install a program like 'Call confirm', which prompts you before doing the actual dial.

I love this program - I'm always accidentally hitting wrong names/etc with my fat fingers.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] letters_to_cleo:
noobs and people that are not aware of this issue would most likely get hit by this... Though it might not be as rampant as the superbrick bug but it's all the same thing.. definitely a security flaw that Samsung should be aware of... they are just too giving with their USSD codes that some unethical hackers out there can undermine and exploit these with..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] trevmar:
.

My Galaxy Note N7000 rooted, with GingerBread XXLA4 (thanks Dr Ketan) is vulnerable. But a pop-up first asks me if I want to send the call to GrooveIP or the Dialer. I am unlikely to ignore that pop-up now...

.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] monomer888:
Yes, and I suppose the nuisance of a factory reset data wipe on some Samsung devices is more dangerous if the reset is forced on a device with an unsafe kernel. There's a scary prospect for some of ending up with a superbricked phone.

[HTC Rezound] neowisdom1031:
Just wondering if anyone else is seeing extremely poor battery life with the 4.03.605.2 Global RUU. Ever since I flashed it (with HBOOT 2.27) My phone is dying twice a day with normal use. On previous firmware release didn't need to charge my phone for a day to a day and a half.

Does anyone have any recommendations on a specific RUU or firmware to flash to to alleviate this issue?
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
Perhaps reflashing the RUU? I have been using this rom since shortly after it came out and I would say my battery life has increased by about 20% or so over the stock ICS OTA ROM, with light use I easily make it though a full day and have 40% remaining as long as I am in areas of decent coverage. Although I have noted if my signal is marginal, it chows through battery pretty fast, but it did on the official ICS as well.

What is your screen time? About 2.5-3 hours is normal, if the brightness is under 50%.

What does GSam or similar battery monitor say is using the battery? Typically when signal strength is good and battery life is that poor, there is an application holding the wakelock and keeping it from sleeping or repeatedly waking it up from sleep.

I'm in the UK on the T-Mobile network. My current contract is up in 40 days so I'm looking for a new device, but I'm torn between getting the 9300 model, or waiting for the 9305 to be available.

EE are launching soon with LTE, but it's going to be at least a year before it reaches the area I'm in, but the LTE model has more RAM, which is always a bonus.

What do you guys reckon is a good option to take? Is the extra gig of RAM worth hanging on a little while for, even though I can't use the LTE features? It's probably going to cost a bit more too, at a guess...

Also, I chatted with a T-Mobile rep and asked her about the JellyBean update. She said it's due out on the UK within the next 90 days. Take that for what its worth.
