[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ef-civic:
Have you tried getting into download mode by hold down the volume down+home+power? a warning message will show and press volume up to continue into download. Then you can use odin to reload the stock rom. There should be posts in the development forum. This one may help too

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CheeseTea:
I have an unlocked Nokia Lumia 900 from Rogers. As I'm sure most people here know, getting MMS to function on an unlocked [Nokia] Windows Phone can be a hassle. I've tried hard resetting my phone, changing the APN, etc, and so far I've had no luck whatsoever. Can someone guide me through a process that will enable MMS to work? It's fairly important considering the number of messages I send/receive every day...

Hello, i just got sg3 , coming form the rezound. I Have multiple issues with this phone , maybe someone coming from the rezound can shed some light on their work arounds

1-Bluetooth can not not connect while aux is plugged in ( loved that feature while driving and plugged in aux )

2-force fast charge disconnects usb tether on any kernel

3-signal is not as strong as the rezound ( next to one one another, sg3 is at -106 while rezound is at -86 dbm)

4-Wireless tether security never works, so i have to be always open , other wise my computer can not connect

5-can not take pictures while on phone ( again like the rezound )

Thank you !

If i can unlock the S3 while rooted can i unlock it on a stock factory not rooted S3? Is there any way we can unlock it without being rooted?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] evolishesh:
I don't think so. You need the image that ez-unlock installs when you unlock for the 1st time. plus ez-unlock backs up the stock image so you can relock and than return back to stock with odin.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] crazydad:
Ahhh ... i would have thought that we could unlock without being rooted using the ez unlock.... thanks for an answer
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tarekis:
Need help

I'm abroad now, and need to unlock my Verizon S3.

After rooted by RootDebugfs then using EZ-Unlock, it still gives me " Non Verizon sim" for the Vodafone sim.

I've tried several times to to uninstall then reinstall the EZ-unlock for both versions 1.4 & 1.2 but the problem still exist.

At last I uninstalled both Ez-unlock and Super Su.

hope to get rescue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Zalithian:
EZ-Unlock unlocks the boot loader, not the SIM or whatever is involved in unlocking the phone. Same term, but not referring to the same thing. It doesn't carrier unlock your phone. I'd offer some assistance with that, but I'm not too familiar with it.

p.s.

For future reference, you should be sure of what an app does before using it.

Thank you my dear friend, but what can I do to use other SIM than the Verizon one ?

Can some one help in detailed steps what to do?

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cubanluke88:
I vaguely recall an app/mod for the Xoom that would stop the Xoom from switching to the clock when docked. I've searched around but it was quite a long time ago that I saw/used that mod.

Anyone know what I'm talking about and know where I can find it?

Thanks.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Legato Bluesummers:
IIRC they used the app Tasker and set it so when it entered the Dock it was set to do nothing instead of opening the clock.

For a free approach try going into Settings - Apps - All. Choose clock app. Then Clear Defaults. Now dock it and see what happens.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cubanluke88:
I have tasker. I'll try that approach; should have that of that myself. Thanks dude!

Yeah that worked.

Tasker profile: State - docked, task - stop.

And when I docked it, the option for selecting what application to use to decide what to do came up (clock or tasker) so likely clearing defaults would have done the trick as well. Thanks again.

Just made the jump from S2 to S3. I have the QCell extended battery and TPU case. Anyone know of a belt/horizontal leather case that will hold this monster?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jmacdonald19:
I'll be checking this thread. I don't have an extended battery but I have the Otter Box Commuter on mine. Would like to find a nice belt case. I still can't get used to putting it in my pocket.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Tharkys:
Look for a luximo case.. I am not sure it can hold an otterbox, but it has stretching sides and is larger than most belt cases. It worked well for me. I found mine on ebay, but I have seen it on amazon as well. A simple search for S3 and luximo should find it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] PeekPoke:
Luxmo

I have the Luxmo horizontal case myself (with magnetic front flap, two-belt-loop and one clip on back). It works reasonably well.

I have a cheap no-name hard-shell case on the SG3 (which I now use without the original accompanying holster because the holster grip got loose and the SG3 slipped out and fell to the ground twice; but that's a separate topic).

Although the SG3+hard case fits the Luxmo case, putting in and taking out is a two-handed operation as the phone doesn't "slide" in/out easily. This is due to the Luxmo's side elastics catching on the USB port or headphone jack opening of the hard case. Perhaps a more "slippery" TPU case or smooth plastic case would work better.

But the SG3+hard case does fit inside the Luxmo snuggly and I've been pretty happy with it.

Anyone experiencing thin line at the top of the screen it appears green at black background and as a brighter colour on different backgrounds

I'm wondering is it software issue or rather hardware one
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ttahatt:
That just started happening to me too...I think I've just gotten used to it - though it's still annoying. I haven't looked into/researched a fix yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] infazzdar:
Can you post a picture? This seems very odd, I'm not sure if it's dead pixels or some other kind of glitch.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Vangelis13:
Is brightness control (or whatever it's called in the rom you're using) enabled perhaps?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ttahatt:
It seems to come and go, worse at certain times. Right now I can barely see it, but I will post a screenshot as soon as it comes back.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dannejanne:
If it's hardware issue the screenshot won't show the line at all but if you can truly capture that line in a screenshot chances are it's a software fault.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gobczak:
Same here the line doesn't show up in screen shot

Could anyone who's experiencing the issue could post which Rom and kernel you been using?

I'm using modaco prebake and Franco kernel
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ttahatt:
You're right nothing showed up with the screen shot when it came back last night. I'm running the latest Bugless Beast 4.1 with the new radios.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gobczak:
I've checked new Ron same issue

If you will go to landscape mode and watch a video probably you'll realize as me that the line is at the top and bottom of the screen. The u can notice that when you press navigation keys as well
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
Are you on a custom ROM and are you sure its not the battery option selected that shows a green line across the top of the screen? It changes depending on your battery percent.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ttahatt:
I haven't really played around with better battery stats because I get pretty good charges out of the battery, but played a video earlier in landscape and the green line stayed in the same place - thinking hardware issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DarkFox002:
Running stock Jelly been just noticed this today, have had the phone since June I think. Phone is always in its leather case/wallet with a screen protector so no phone damage.

And it has the same issue, green line or bright colors base on the background. just one line about as thick as the pull down notification bar. It got a bit better during the day, green line in portrait disappeared, now I just notice it when horizontal. but this is the first day.

Anyone send theirs in yet for repair?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rhed:
I also noticed that on my GNex as well. Big probability that it's a hardware issue, like a line of dead pixels. Doesn't bother me much though, as it's so thin I sometimes don't notice it's there. But when my OC mode gets activated, it does seem distracting @_@
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rice923:
Why not call Samsung for warranty repair? If you are under warranty, they'll let you know to send it in.

I called (888)987-4357 for my repair and they were actually really helpful. They're located in Texas FYI
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sergej_9N3:
Hi!

I had the same line. It can be clearly seen when the camera is turned on, or other apps in full screen mode. Line can be green, or red, or white.

Line appears for the first time when it was low temperature outside (-20 С, i think...), two weeks ago. I took the phone out of my pocket to read message, and saw the green line at top of display.

Now, if the phone placed in a warm room, the line becomes a barely visible. In a cool place it becomes clear visible.

Today I went to the service. They reinstalled the firmware, but the line is still on the display. They said that it is hard to see this line, and maybe they must to ask Samsung about this line. They are not sure that this line is a malfunction. At the same time, they are ready to replace the display (after arriving from Samsung's stock). Not clear for me... :confused:

I'll go to the service again in a week, and will report about result.

Good luck and sorry for my English.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kluzik1:
I have the same issue. The Green Line on top appears when it's cold outside and normally its just brighter line which you can see only in landscape mode.

I think the only thing you can do is replace the screen ;)

Going tomorrow to service and will let you know after;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sergej_9N3:
Hi!

I went to the service again. After four days my phone returned with a new display. The line has disappeared, everything is fine! :thumbup:

P.S. This repair was under warranty.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Reviz:
I have a strange line on the top but i never saw it green. It looks like a line of pixels with different brightness.

update2: came back with a new full working screen
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] exidez:
I have only noticed this when i viewed the video file on the computer using VLC. When i took a shapshot of the video, and then enlarged the picture to fit on desktop i could see the green line. It is only one pixel in width, not noticeable otherwise.

Is this really a hardware issue if it is happening to every GN phone in the same location ? I think it is software based. perhaps to make up the right pixel dimension ??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] motorazrv3:
Definitely a vlc software error.! Isn't vlc on android platform still beta?

Try another player and look if you get the same result. There are enough you can choose. MX player for example is a famous one.

Quick question, I found that in 4.1.1 JB roms when connecting to PC to transfer files there is no option to just turn on you device as external drive, yet you see MTP and Camera mode. In both modes I found transfer speeds are MUCH lower and behavior is totally different on computer than before for ICS. IS there a way to activate "normal" file transfer mode in 4.1.1 JB without using MTP or Camera transfer modes ?

Thanks.

I tried 2 diffirent JB based roms and MTP this is in both so I guess it's a new "thing" for 4.1.1

Thanks once again.

Relock your phone with these fastboot commands:

Then put your phone back into fastboot with power/volume down, then run this exe as Administrator.

You'l unroot it and turn it into 100% stock. If S-0ff, it wont change that.

Run that, and it'll do the factory restore you want, maybe without those

unrequested comments it made in fastboot.
[HTC Rezound] wohn:
Tried that, didnt work, hboot/cwm recovery said invalid,

I finally got s-off with the JuopunutBear / wire trick and now it seems to be working.

Thank you for the guidance.:good:
[HTC Rezound] kgs1992:
Firstly, the problem why the RUU wasn't working, was that your bootloader was unlocked (fastboot oem lock to relock the bootloader)

This usually gives an "Unknown Error 99" message.

The reason it worked after S-OFF is because JuopunutBear erases the unlock token.

Secondly, when you're trying to do something like this, it's better to search for a reliable source for instructions & not jump at any answers that you can find.

This answer is so so wrong. How can you provide advice on something that you have no idea about?

This instructions are for S-ON & if your device has JuopunutBear hboot, then this will brick the phone.

Would you ever be willing to try something like this on your own phone?
[HTC Rezound] michaelbsheldon:
*

If you'd been bothered to read OP comments, he was S-0n, so JBear Hboot couldn't have been there.

Save your crabby comments.
[HTC Rezound] kgs1992:
Sure, in which case writesecureflag isn't required at all.

Although these wrong S ON bricks are unbrickable, never in any case tell anyone to do that command unless you fully understand the implications of what you are saying.

If you notice, he later did S-OFF with JuopunutBear:

in which case, his phone would have bricked if he had JB hboot had tried your commands.

The android police RUU you linked to is not an Official RUU, it's made from an OTA. Which is why he was unable to flash it without S-OFF.

The instructions you gave were wrong & I simply called you out on that.

I honestly don't want to argue on this, I just want you to be careful of what you advice people to do.

Although this is a public forum & everyone's input is welcome & I'm nobody to enforce any rules; I'm simply giving you my opinion.

The rest is upto you. Good day.

Pardon my GSIII Newbiness. I just recently came from the Epic 4G community and I have a couple questions.

There was a list of file names and apps that could safely be removed from the stock Epic 4G rom, is there something like that for the GSIII?

A few apps I couldn't find when trying to delete and uninstall them, are there hidden locations for some of the factory installed apps?

I'm also wondering what are some of the top roms and kernels according to the GSIII Community. Basically I'm looking for one that possibly allows overclocking, yet has the sprint bloatwares removed. Changeable boot screens would be nice as well.

I like most of the features that are offered, but there's a few I don't use.

I wish we had a custom search engine just for ROMs that would let you pick the features you want and builds a custom list.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mulhiny:
I'd try FreeGS3 from with AGAT's kernel if you want OC. The kernel you will find in original development section.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] LordLugard:
Not exhaustive, but a start. As usual, research beforehand and make sure you're removing only harmless stuff.

[If you're interested in a bloatless or as close to stock Android ROM, try Blackbean4 ROM with the KT747 kernel. It's a Jelly Bean leak, runs phenomenal and it's only 153MB vs nearly 850MB for Team Sonic FreeGS3 TouchWiz-based ROM. I used both and currently on Blackbean4. It's a great ROM really.]
