Well, In all honestly, I didn't see the need for this thread, You may call it bashing but I call it bulk. If you're getting it replaced, and the older tab is covered under the insurance why the need for this thread?, If you're asking for help, the best you'll get are links you can get the parts separately or stuff you could probably Google it yourself. Why not get that repaired elsewhere and enjoy the new 16GB, In the end you'll have 2 tabs and one which won't become and expensive paperweight. You can't sell that tab because Nexus are known for their no on screen buttons, and whats the use if the digitizer/glass is cracked and all you can do is turn it on to show the pretty wallpaper.

If anything I'm not mad here, Just find it insane that you made this thread to tell us "Daddy's replacing it with a new 16GB with his Amex" well, good for you kiddo.
[Nexus 7 General] android88:
I see people all the time making videos about their broken tabs and phones so I decided to do it to. My dad isn't even going to have to pay for the new Nexus. He is getting it with the insurance money. Also, about my other phones and stuff, I bought then with my own money for big discounts from friends and stuff like that. I don't even have a PC or Laptop. I had a choice between the N7 and a PC/laptop. I got the N7 because I like playing with ROMs and stuff. Also, I knew I could make some vids on the Nexus. Last thing, the Nexus 7 only costs 200$ and a good PC/Laptop costs over 700$. I'm not asking for help, I was just saying that it broke. The reason I am getting it replaced is because t wasn't me who broke it. If I broke it, I wouldn't be getting a new one.
[Nexus 7 General] Misledz:
Well that wasn't a smart choice, How do you expect to "learn" about ROM's or developing in general when infact 99% of all that requires a PC, if anything your own personal storage that people won't erase because your stuff makes no sense to the non techy's---buddy, joining a group on ROM building/development with a tab is like joining a bodybuilding competition with flabs.

Anyways I'm done here.
[Nexus 7 General] android88:
I know stuff about ROMs, I just don't know how to build them.

You had me at Senior Member. As if that isn't automatically given when you're a member for a few months :rolleyes:

Before I signed up, I used XDA with no account. Also, why would I be on XDA if I didn't know anything about modding?
[Nexus 7 General] moby008:
haha, so true. My dad would've broken the 8Gb in pieces instead of rewarding me with a new one :laugh:
[Nexus 7 General] android88:
I didn't break it. Like I said, my little brother cracked it.
[Nexus 7 General] mustbepbs:
Same reason a lot of other people are. We have tons of people who barely know how to flash ROMs and are constantly bricking their devices, filling up general and q&a with the same threads over and over. This is a good resource for that stuff and a good forum for general questions about our devices.
[Nexus 7 General] android88:
I am not that kind of noob. I know stuff about modding.
[Nexus 7 General] AlleN7:
Invalid statement. I actually have a very limited knowledge of modding. Yet, here I am on XDA >.< I can flash ROMs, easy, but I have not learned to do other stuff since I've been so busy.

Anyway, kiddo, since pops was so nice to get you a Nexus 7, don't take it for granted. $200 is not chump change(to most people). Not here to lecture you on money, but one day you'll see.

I remember reading about some teen developing an app on iOS to give discounted app bundles or something. He got rich off of it. You should do something like that!
[Nexus 7 General] android88:
I know its not a lot, but I know how to work HTML5. All I was trying to say is that I an not a complete noob. I know a lot about tech stuff. I am the only kid out of all the kids I know that like tech. OK, so maybe I don't know how to build a ROM? So what? Does that mean I can't know other things about this? Also, I admit, I know more about regular tech than I do modding. I also don't play games on my N7. I am usually on the internet looking at tech sites. If you would look at my history for a day you would know what I mean. I also have a subscription to LaptopMAG. So going back to what I said earlier, I like both tech and modding. I am better at tech though. I'm a nerd.
[Nexus 7 General] Mungulz:
So many haterz lulz.
[Nexus 7 General] swisstourist:
Let this kid in peace.... Are you all jealous because his dad paid him a Nexus...

My dad bought me a Ferrari at 300000$ for my 18 birthday...

So what?
[Nexus 7 General] linkinparkfan007:
My thoughts for using the Nexus 7 full on without your own Laptop damn.

Do you atleast have a keyboard with that :P

For myself I got a Thinkpad T520, my Nexus 7 and my SGS2 also.

Just don't know I could live without a laptop though.

I'll admit i'm also a Senior member but i'm more of a lurker :P.

Just flash roms, play through kernels. Just a flashaholic nothing special.
[Nexus 7 General] android88:
I am the same as you, I guess:D, I just flash and post. I don't have a keyboard but I am fine without one.

What you are experiencing is a known bug.

Use Extweaks + DSP manager to boost headset volume.

Some third-party music and video players have hyper volume boost for headset
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brand012:
What's one of the player name?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
Dice player for video, PowerAmp for audio.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brand012:
Okok, thanks :) i'll test it!

Mate DSP doesn't work by itself to work when u on syiah just flash xxtweaker apk then do wot I said before and power amp is best player a I use with beats audio DSP and its work

Hi U all. Im in a hurry

Headphone volume was perfect until yesterday when I connect my S2 to ax external speakers, everything fine but today a noticed Ive lost volume but in only 1 headphone speaker.

So I tried other headphones but with same resoults; after that I plug to the external speakers again but, after that I used the headphones and rigth now volume is almost cero.

SO: volume with external speakers partially work (not as loud as before)

volume with headphones is almost cero (al maximun)

I´ve flashed a stock JB rom but problem remains. I also flashed dorimanx kernel and, stweaks helped just a little bit

Im affraid Im in front to a hardware issue

Any suggestions for me ??

Thanks

Hi guys, just like the title says, this is my problem.. when I open Camera app or turn on Torch, something near camera lens starts to vibrate and I have to bang it. I'm running CM 9.1 (aosp camera app) and Chameleon 1.3 (stock sammy app). At first I thougt it is caused by the CM, but why also on Chameleon ? Will this problen disappear if I flash original stock firmware ? I wasn't experiencing this before I started to play with flashing so I hope the phone is not damaged in any way..

thanks

My phone also does this sometimes. Have always noticed it. A lot more so with cm9 though.

Haven't found any answers. It also seems to get extremely hot.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] celderic:
Anyone? I really don't know what this is. It Does it with cm kernel and siyah.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] celderic:
Anyone? Is this harmful for my phone?

I have noticed.when.the.torch.is. on if i have the screen facing down it vibrates constantly almost every time.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4rz0:
The moving part is the focus module of the camera.

It, however, should only move for a short time.

It usually only clicks for me.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] celderic:
It vibrates until i bang the phone gently on my hand. When vibrating the camera gets extremely hot

I think this is a hardware fault as it has been like this since i got the phone in november 2011, i have tried pretty much every kernel/rom/modem out there. So i know it is not software related. Unless it is canera firmware? I have updated this too.

Edit:

Since i have had the phone it has never vibrated like this whilst using the camera for pictures.

Always when i use the torch. 90percent of the time when i face the screen down with the torch on, it has rarely done it with the torch facing down.

Just got my Galaxy S III on Friday. It's on 4.0.4 right now, and I'm just checking to see if there's an update available and I get this message:

Service unavailable

Check for System Updates under Settings > About device when service is available

If it helps, I've disabled most of the Verizon apps that are included on the phone, but I don't think that would affect anything. *I enabled all of the apps that I disabled, but it's still giving me the same message when I try software update.

I also reset my phone to factory and it still did it.

If there wasn't an update, it would say something like "You are up to date" Right?

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] voodoomanx:
Depends on which verizon apps. The software update comes from verizon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] apacseven:
Disabling stock software can definitely stop an OTA update from installing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] josh995:
Ok, I re-enabled everything and tried software update again and it's still saying the same thing... :/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] josh995:
Can anyone help, is this a fault with my phone?

I want to find out before my 14 day return/exchange policy is up :/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jcandrew:
Josh...my wife has a thunderbolt and is getting the same thing...her phone booted into boatloader today which I thought was funny since she is straight stock...its not your new phone its them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] josh995:
I hope so! Would suck to not be able to update to Jelly Bean...whenever Verizon lets it come...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nike_air3:
I'm in the same dilemma. I called Best Buy where I upgraded my phone last Friday and they said they've never heard of this. Chances are I might try to have them replace it with a phone that will update.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] crazydad:
Had my phone for a while and i get no such message... mine shows ....................No new software update available.........just did software check a cpl of of times to see if i would get your message and no.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dvschnk:
I think its their server. I just wiped clean all the way back to the original stock image and then tried to get the OTA, and was getting the same message. It worked on monday night...not sure what happened to them since. Oh well, I was going to make a nand backup of my phone with the OTA.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Synner-Sam:
i have the same issue. i checked on my GNEX and no issue. move the sim to my S3 and cant check for updates.WTF...not sure what the deal is. i have gone as far as restoring using ODIN back to the ROM that was shipped with the phone and same result. I know i have had some odd issues with this phone...its been locking up, GPS causes the phone to reboot (not all the time tho). im ready to go back to VZW and swap it out. Im back on stock, NO ROOT,NO NOTHING, just pure stock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] x714x:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] josh995:
Just to let you all know I wound up having to get a new phone. The guys in the store all tried telling me that nothing was wrong with my phone, and that the update would come to me 'eventually.' Kept telling me I don't need a new phone.

I had only had the phone for 6 days, and the return/exchange policy is 14, so I demanded they give me a new phone. They said "The new phone's gonna do the same thing dude."

So I get a new phone, and the first thing it does when it's powered up and set up...."UPDATE AVAILABLE!"

I said "Gee, imagine that."

Don't take no for an answer. ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ryno77:
Anyone know what controls updates? I cleared data for "sdm" which is part of the check but I don't know what else is. It's pushing and pulling data when checking for an update but always comes back with service unavailable. If this doesn't work when I the next ota comes out I guess verizon is giving me permission to root and install a custom recovery :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ryno77:
Are verizon customers able to update via Kies or is that international only? That might be a way around this problem?

Google says yes.... Should have check that first.... Sorry.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sultan.of.swing:
Mine has been saying the same thing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] josh995:
I tried using kies but got the message that my phone wasn't able to update through kies
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ryno77:
I just took a look too and it says this device is not supported. When I checked on my phone for updates on Friday this service worked...hasn't since then. How are we supposed to update without rooting? Can updates be downloaded onto an sd card and flashed through stock recovery? I don't want to get stuck with a refurbished phone so I'll deal with what I have I guess.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ryno77:
Just wondering if updating this way is possible (without rooting). If not I need to get this fixed or get a NEW phone....no refurb.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] josh995:
I was told by a member here that it is possible to flash updates while still being stock, but finding the update was a problem for me, that's why I exchanged my phone for a new one... I wouldn't want a refurb either
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fr8cture:
I think its just verizons updates being buggy. I didn't have a problem with it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ryno77:
I wonder if one update would fix the problem? I really don't want to return the phone because I have no issues other than this but if it's a problem that won't go away I'd like to exchange. It seems like posts here and elsewhere started right around the time of the last update....maybe that was the cause? Or maybe it's something with Verizon and their servers?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] josh995:
I'm not sure. I don't remember the build my 1st gs3 was on, but the one I exchanged for was on the same exact as the 1st... the difference being, of course, the 1st wouldn't update.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ryno77:
This is giving me ocd! I guess it's not a big deal to install a rom but stock should work properly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] antawnm26:
I had the same thing go and get a new sim card....If that dont work you need an replacement. the new sim done the trick for me
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
If all else fails you can always Odin the latest OTA file without being rooted. Sounds like a server/sim card problem to me if you are totally stock. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] x714x:
Getting a new sim fixed the issue for me aswell.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ryno77:
Just an update. Did a factory reset since I know Verizon is going to ask me to at least try that first. Did not work, same error. Tomorrow I will stop by a Verizon store and ask for a new sim card...I really hope that fixes the problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] CAEM:
Mine is doing the same so there is no other fix to this other than going to VZW i mean isnt this affecting allot of users.... so they all have to replace the sim ? Sounds fishy to me i mean must be an other way to fix this right ?!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ryno77:
Thankfully a new sim card fixed my issue too :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] davexhero:
I had the same problem. Went to Verizon and had them swap out the sim with a new one and that fixed it. I get the normal "no update available" now. My phone also immediately found 4g when it hadn't before, and now gets 4g in areas where I usually only got 3g. The tech said they've been having problems with a certain batch of "old" (got mine when the s3 came out) sim cards, and they have since switched to newer ones.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LarryInAz:
Please clarify

Just wanting to clarify - this thread appears to be about 2 different issues and I want to find out if replacing the Sim card might resolve mine.

At the beginning it appears most people were having the issue of updating when going to Settings/About Device/Software Update.

Further in the thread people are asking about KIES saying "Your device does not support software upgrading via Kies".

My issue is related to Kies and I'm wondering if replacing the Sim card will take care of this as well.

FWIW, I purchased my GS3 from Costco and I'm thinking they might have a batch of old Sim cards...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Why you are looking for an update while rooted or with unlocked bootloader is beyond me. As the main devs such as Adam Outler have said not to do it. If you are not rooted and/or unlocked it is a mute point and go get a new sim. I have never seen an OTA on any device. The OTA will not give you anything the devs can't give you and more. You are setting yourself up to be stock forever. They will block either root or unlock just like they did on Tbolt and newer Evo 4G LTE. :rolleyes::cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] josh995:
I'm stock not rooted and don't plan to anytime soon so not getting an OTA would have been a problem for me. :)

To all who got new sim cards:

I think my actual phone was defective because the Verizon guy put my original sim card in my new replacement phone and it updated right away. Weird
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DRX1983:
After reading through this post , I ended up going in to a Verizon store and getting a new SIM card hoping that it would fix my Service is Unavailable issue but is didn't. I'm starting to think that it might be the phone itself :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] josh995:
Yeah that was my problem. I didn't plan on rooting and flashing so I got a new phone. If you plan on rooting then it doesn't matter too much, but if you want to be stock then yeah it's annoying.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zedocus16:
I've actually read that in a few other forums, it makes this problem more interesting. It could be an unrelated problem, but it would be really hard to narrow down without a larger sample.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zedocus16:
Just an update, 3 of 4 of the phones in my household had this problem. Today all 3 received the ota anyways, go figure. Mine is rooted so no ota for me :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] evolishesh:
I just finished talking to costumer service, and they are sending me a replacement. I don't know what the issue is, as to why our phones are not connecting to the update server. But, I'm not happy that I'm getting a refurbished phone! :'(

Just went to verizon, NEW sim..instant notification od new update...so works for now.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] josh995:
I think it's hit and miss. A new sim didn't work for me... I had to get a new phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] evolishesh:
I tried that after talking to costumer service, but the lady at the Verizon store couldn't do it, because there was an order being processed (my refurbished phone). I will try it tomorrow.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mdt73:
After randomly coming across this thread, I just tried to get the OTA update, and it worked... Have no idea why, been trying for days. Can't begin to explain how frustrating this phone is to me! (plagued with the no sim error)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TypoCorrecto:
Yeah, it's definitely a SIM card issue. I just installed an unused SIM card from early last month and once it was activated and inserted my phone immediately started updating...
