That's really weird, as I was testing after seeing this thread and HBO GO installed from the Play store fine, configured with my (non-Time Warner provider) fine and streamed fine. I'm pure stock, having rooted and unrooted a few times for specific needs.

Maybe HBO GO has since been unblocked by Verizon since the OTA, assuming it was blocked before?

Strange thing is I got it working. All I did was make my friends vzw phone a not spot and then connected to it. The all then allowed me to login and now that I'm already logged in I can use the network to actually watch the shows now... did the same thing to get watchespn working...very strange.

**Warning, the language in the video isn't really worksafe. This is my first post on these forums, not sure how you guys handle stuff like that**

youtube.c***om/watch?v=***VL6TN_kYvP0&feature=plcp

Just delete the asterisks, I don't know how else I'm supposed to link the video. If you need to delete it mods, go ahead. Just search for "Galaxy S3 Video Display Issues" by the user Brocsta876.

As you can see, barely tapping the back of the phone to the cable would kill the display. Sometimes it would have a purple hue, other times it would have a bunch of scan lines and eventually would just go black and wouldn't come back until I pulled the battery or held home + power. It also tends to straight up power down randomly. Obviously I have a defective model, but has anybody else seen anything similar to this?

The only thing I've done to the phone is rooting it, no custom firmware or anything like that has been installed. I'll be returning it to the Sprint store tomorrow, but in the mean time I was wondering if I should unroot the device?

If so, are there any instructions on JUST un-rooting a stock OS with nothing else done to it? No firmware period has ever been flashed on the phone.

I've got the phone insurance AND I'm within the 14-day cancellation period, so I don't anticipate any issues, even with the phone rooted. But I'd rather be on the safe side.

Thanks for any help!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Speedin07si:
Use QBKing77 How to unroot/unbrick. Pretty much make it like it was it out of the box.

Hello!

Was just wondering if you followed the suggested unrooting method and if there was any change to your phone or did you simply return it?

Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Brocsta876:
I haven't returned the phone yet, I'll be going back to the store in about 9 hours. And thank you for the quick response Speedin07si. I actually found a "temporarily disable root access" in the SuperUser app that is installed with the root. I also installed Voodoo OTA RootKeeper and it says that I do not currently have the device rooted after disabling it in SuperUser app.

I should be alright (hopefully) at the store. I know the salesman who sold it to me knew all about rooting and was cool with it and stuff. Let's just hope I can get a new one without any fuss.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tibimakai:
Picked up this phone from CL. The person was claiming that part of the screen is not responding to touch.

I have seen it when I picked it up, but I thought that I will deal with it when I get home.

I was keep playing with the phone almost everything it's working on it except the volume buttons and that horizontal line where the #456 is on the dial pad.

I have removed the battery and noticed that the white sticker it was pink, water damage.

Now I don't know what could be the damage here? There is a shadow across the screen also, but it's not a crack.

I have seen this before on a digital camera, it was the aluminum sheet metal under the LCD, had a smudge across on that aluminum finish too.

Couldn't remove it though. Replaced the screen on the camera and it was as new.

Not sure what could be the problem with the phone?

Should I replace the digitizer, since the LCD shows everything correctly? It could be something shorted internally? I have the phone apart, but I don't see anything wrong. Cleaned all the contact with electronic cleaner, no change.

Any help would be appreciated.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Alan Pickle:
I think I would replace the LCD and digitizer as a unit. The slightly higher cost would be easier to accept than having to do it more than once, which would probably end up costing more. Either way is a gamble, though, because that might not be the issue.

Volume buttons are notorious on this phone. I have not known or read about someone fixing them. You can get around the problem for the most part by using software to control the volume, using roms that will restart to recovery or boot loader, and the occasional use of ADB commands, but some bootloop situations require the hardware to work.

Good luck with your project and let us know how it works out.

Not just a pretty Pickle.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tibimakai:
I'm thinking of buying the whole LCD as a unit, but that is why I'm asking that maybe somebody could tell me if it's the LCD or other hardware.

The volume button it's together with the upper camera board and I guess it has to be replaced together.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kathees:
Hi all,

I'm a proud owner of Samsung Galaxy S and I have been using it last 22 months. I could have recontacted my phone for free last month (end of 21 months) but I was eagerly waiting to get the Galazy S3 LTE version. I'm with Singtel Singapore.

Finally last Saturday they released and I found out that that version don't have FM Radio. It's a International Quad Core with 2GB Ram seems. I really miss FM Radio. I'm a radio fan (Yeah still :) )

So my question is FM Radio supports depends on Hardware? (I'm not talking about streaming. Real radio we have in S, S2 and can be use even without data). Is it like they removed some chip so it's no longer possible? Or just some software related things which can be fixable in the future?

Can anyone shed some lights on this issue for me? Thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kathees:
I searched Internet and I found a interesting pattern. It seems all Samsung LTE variants doesn't have FM Radio. In Singapore I checked Galaxy S2 LTE and Galaxy Note LTE and both don't have.

Anyone from US or other countries can confirm this? There are lot of other countries S3 LTE released long ago. Can you confirm you have or not? Also is there anyone have FM Radio with LTE version? I read somewhere Korean version have it but I don't know how true that news....

Also my initial question is it a Hardware thing?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spunker88:
There is an app called Spirit FM that has a thread here on XDA. Basically its a root app that supports FM radio on as many devices as possible and there is a listing there of what devices support it and what devices lack hardware.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kathees:
Thanks for the reply. I'm aware of that app and even tried on my Galaxy S.

But my question is FM support depends on hardware (Like a fm receiver) or purely depends on software? Why LTE phones don't have FM radio?

Anyone from Kore confirms whether they have the FM radio in LTE version??
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justnoone:
There is a radio which actually depends on mobile signal whether it is gsm or lte and there are also radio which depends on hardwares,like fm/am radio transceivers, however on some phones like those with tv apps and radio apps most likely on phone with dual sims and with adjustable antennas (like an aluminum rod which is connected to radio chips itself and adjustable, or you can see this at the back of the phone, they are software and hardware related. As for the phone which supports lte signal, maybe some of them dont have it but most of them have, i got one on my phone and without earplugs, it cannot be switch on but once earphones or external speakers have been connected it would start scanning signals, unlike those with built in hardwares they can however with the use of the adjustable antennas.

If however i am wrong on my info, i would be glad to be corrected.

Goodluck
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kathees:
Thanks for the reply. Can I know which phone model you have? Is that phone support LTE too?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justnoone:
Mine is GT-I9300 quad core or s3 international,and yup, it supports lte too,since the place where i am currently at is throwing 4g/lte network signal.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kjplasma:
This is from the whatsapp website FAQ

Note: WhatsApp cannot sync with Facebook friends, so you will need to manually enter their phone numbers in your address book in order for WhatsApp to find them.

I was wondering if anyone knows of any workaround for this....

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
1. Download the official Facebook app.

2. Sync your Facebook contacts with your phone.

3. Only the official Facebook app has the power to sync Facebook contacts + their phone numbers in ICS upwards

4. Check your whatsapp now, you should notice the difference.

Done
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kjplasma:
No its not that simple..i have all the fb contacts synced n visible in my contacts...the trouble is in getting the fb contacts to show up in third party apps..such as whatsapp...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
Get my simple points:

1. Whatsapp will only show your contacts with phone numbers

2. Only the official Facebook app can sync Facebook contacts with their phone numbers.

3. Use the official Facebook app to sync your contacts

Got it?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kjplasma:
1) yes whatsapp shows every other contacts with numbers but fb contacts

2) yes only the official fb app can sync contacts with numbers...

3) I have them synced to my contacts ..the numbers are visible there..

the above process doesnt help in getting the fb contacts to show up in whatsapp as mentioned in the OP

but thanks for trying to help mate...

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
Ok.

Please tell me which of these interpretations of your question is most correct:

# you want to see all your Facebook contacts with whatsapp account inside your whatsapp app?

# You want to also see your Facebook contacts in "all contacts" part of your whatsapp?

BTW, can you please post your ROM details?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kjplasma:

thanks again for your patience...

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
1. You forgot to post your ROM details

2. I don't use Facebook app, so I'll try to install it now (i only have version 1.9.3), I'll then test and see. I'm on a Jellybean ROM, and I'm not sure if the app will sync contacts.

Anyhow, I'll let you know how it goes.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kjplasma:
my bad..edited the previous post....

I believe its not possible to sync fb numbers to the phone contacts in (people app) AOSP based roms. It was not possible a while ago not sure about now.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
Ok.

Tested it but Facebook won't sync my contacts.

Yeah Facebook still can't sync contacts to the People (Aosp) app. It was possible to sync on some AOKP based ROMs in the ICS days but I've never been able to sync contacts in CM9/CM10 based ROMs.

... well, except i use some other apps, and those apps cannot sync phone numbers.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kjplasma:
fb contact no# was the only reason i switched back to Stock based roms, meanwhile i hope some one finds a workaround for the whatsapp issue..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
I'll test and report about the whatsapp once i have the chance to dual boot with a stock ROM.

- from my past experience, my whatsapp contacts always triple from about 150 to 500 once i sync my Facebook contacts. I don't know if things have changed now.

[Nexus 7 General] Surgethescurge:
Today my nexus 7 did the strangest thing; it was charging but the screen would not turn on. The screen was black, but it was on with small white static appearing every so often.

I could not reboot the tablet or anything it was dead for all concerned. I called Asus and they told me to send it in.( I tried holding power for 30 sec)

I packed it but decided to try it one more time( several hours later)' the battery was dead so I plugged it in expecting the same dead screen and static but instead it started charging... the tablet now seems to be working fine.

I guess the point of this post is to tell people to check there tablets after they let the battery die before they send it back for repair , it may have just crashed and not be broken. We may have to let it die since we can't remove our battery or have a reset button.
[Nexus 7 General] clusterchuck:
This happened to me yesterday. I didn't panic though, knew it would come back to life eventually. Glad it was the same case for you.

It happened to me when I tried to charge it and use it when it had 0% left. I just let it charge a little and it was fine.
[Nexus 7 General] kingofthebraves:
I usually use my n7 in my room which is at least 4 walls away from the router and at night time the screen flickers like crazy to the point of being unusable. I tried setting up a new router one room away and flashed the latest AOKP build 3 and went to settings and selected the two options to reduce flickering and I've been using it for two days no in the same exact conditions and it has yet to flicker!

Just wanted to share :)
[Droid RAZR M General] 5n4r35:
Dropped my RAZR M just 4 days after I got it. Kind of funny actually since it involves an iPhone but anyway...the screen is smashed. I know this phone is really new but does anyone know where to get a replacement display? I assume I need to get the whole display since the glass is fused to it. Thanks for any help.

[Droid RAZR M General] mattlgroff:
It will be cheaper to get an insurance replacement for $100 than to wait for parts and get a digitizer, LCD, and glass for this phone (they are fused together in one piece, check out the teardown).
[Droid RAZR M General] Simplestas:
How hard was the drop?
[Droid RAZR M General] 5n4r35:
Flat on the glass from about chest high with an iPhone landing on it...so pretty hard I dropped it on other time from about the same height with it landing on its glass again and it came away with so much as a scratch. I think its the iPhone that cause this.

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] dawgsoverrebs:
I really don't want to send in my TAB to Samsung especially after hacking it and technically voiding the warranty. I don't want to have to pay them if they void it.

The issue: i957 reboots after screen times out or locking it with the power button. Works fine while the screen remains on.

Last working circumstances : I plugged it into the sound board at church into the headphone jack and it restarted, my phone has done this before too when plugging into the sound board but didn't get the reboot problem. I was on CM10and immediately after restored to my HC backup with no luck.

Also tried: reinstalling CM10, wiping CM10, wiping stock, flashing back to all stock thru Odin (after this the delay before restart after screen off is about 2 min)

Any ideas or suggestions would be a huge help.

Tried some different kernels and factory reset on stock and resets on different kernels and now I'm teaching myself how to run a log cat (not sure why I never taught myself this before). Strangely enough, when the TAB is plugged into the computer it hasn't yet restarted but plugged into the wall it does. Not sure how this log cat will work tho when it won't restart while plugged in.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Alberto5501:
Hi there

The thing is whenever I add a new phone number to my contacts list they don't show up there. When saving the contacts I choose to save them to my Google account. So if my phone dies or is stolen I can recover all my contacts. The thing is they're not appearing on my contact list. Even tough I've selected in contacts to show: All contacts.

The only way to find them (since universal search was removed) is to use the dial to type the name (most of the time without luck) or go to the call log (if I called that number before).

I've come to think the contact IS on the phone, Cuz it appears in the log with the name I've given it.

I have account sync on, I've turned the phone off and on. I have deleted the Google account and signed back in. Checked via the web on Contacts and all the new contacts are there.

I've been experiencing this problem on different phones (HTC Inspire 4G and now on a GS3).

If anyone can help, thanks!

PD: is very annoying to scroll through the call log to find a contact. And I call lots of people on my work. Is there a way to add the contacts to a folder on my home screen? After they appear on the contacts app first of course!

[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] jhonatann_989:
hi all.... i have done my very first mod for our optimus one.

I did some research so i understood how to remap phisical buttons on our android device. One of the most important functions that my phone does for me is playing music, and i love dedicated media buttons. Cyanogenmod is an example of a rom that let you use the volume keys as media buttons but the thing is that cyanogenmod is still in nightly... Stock roms are the most stable for daily use but you cannot use the volume keys as media keys, and of course, cannot use all of the other custom features.

Thats the reason why i decide to remap the search key to a media key. I don't use search features on my phone, so the search key is basicly an unused button for me.

the remapped key is HEADSETHOOK. search key will work as that button.

tested on resurrection 2.0... should work on other stock 2.3.3 based roms

PD: i am not a developer. i'm just a curious guy :laugh::laugh::laugh:

EDIT: AS FitAmp suggest, i made a flasheable zip and a revert flasheable zip to come back to normal. ONLY WORKS ON AMON RA recovery. CWM and TWRP gives me status 7 with updater script. This zips has update (amend) script so it works on ra recovery.

the zips are attached to the thread
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] FitAmp:
Would you be able to make this into a flashable zip? And perhaps, a patch to revert the changes?

I don't seem to use the search key either so this looks good for me as I listen to ALOT of music.
