[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UrbanDesigns:
I've just reflashed a new build of this custom ROM I'm using (Super Nexus to be precise) now I've done this before and the restore went fine but now I'm having trouble.

For whatever reason Titanium Backup can't find the apps to restore.. or anything for that matter. I have copied a folder containing all the apps that I backed up on both internal & external SD.

Can anybody help me out? it's annoying me now :(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arsaw:
Go to preferences and look for backup location.

Sorry everyone, been crazy busy the last week.

The Blue on Blue had the wrong ui.xml edits. The links were right but I screwed up the edits. My bad!

I fixed the Blue w/ Blue text. Let me know if you have any other problems.

Again, sorry for the confusion. :D

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GS_Dan:
It's not permanent.

He means that if you pinch the area just below the camera (with your thumb against the screen) if solves the common green camera issue.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] f'n around:
I just had my camera working for the first time in months by pinching HARD. It worked for a bit, then I changed modes and it went back to green screen. I would think that means I have a short. Has anyone taken apart their tablet and resecured the connection?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] compuw22c:
Yes, see my previous thread. Hint, you need a new camera module (eBay). No easy around it unfortunately :(. New camera (NEW, from the seller that got them from Foxconn/assembly line) DOES fix it though.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sjrixon:
ebay link? I've never seen anything..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mystril:
my camera turned green after 1 week of Jelly bean. About 7 months of use now. Bumps here and there but never a hard impact drop.

I really am skeptical of QC in Asus part. Mine was C2. Let's hope when I RMA it, I get a C3<
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] theandies:
Just sent mine in for the green camera problem. I tried the Spock pinch method and it would clear it up but not completly. After a few pinches the camera has never worked again. I have another problem that I had to RMA and it was a good experience overall (execpt the fact that I didn't have my tablet for 10 days).

how did you fix it ? THANKS
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] compuw22c:
Do you have a functioning brain? You literally quoted the link I provided to you that explains exactly how to do it and asked "How do I fix it". Do yourself a favor, don't try. Go buy an iPad. They're designed for dense people who can't think for themselves or follow directions.

Grrr... my camera has just died too, and there I was thinking things were much better since the 4.1 upgrade.

Does anyone know how long it will take for an RMA repair in the UK?

[Galaxy S III Accessories] rowver:
Dear all,

I just bought the I9305. I was surprised that the battery size is different from the I9300! The battery in the I9305 is larger than the I9300. Does anyone have more information on the difference? For some reason, sites like GSM Arena don't reflect this difference.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Rithina:
how big was yours?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] rlatjs17:
Dimensions or capacity? The capacity is 2100mAH found both the 9300 and 9305
[Galaxy S III Accessories] bleepsake:
I dont think they're different I'll check because I just bought an extended battery allegedly for the i9300.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] btemtd:
They are exactly the same size and are even interchangable between each other. I have them both in front of me. What on earth made you think they are different? Everything n the housing between I9300 and I9305 are interchangable even the Back cover. I have tried it all.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] rowver:
Here are 3 pictures of my I9305. The first picture shows the phone and the provided battery together. The next picture shows the S3 I9300 original Samsung battery I bought.Then you can see the comparison of the provided I9305 battery and the I9300 battery.

Unless the packaging wording for the I9300 extra battery I bought was wrong and it was not meant for S3 (which I triple checked!), there is DEFINITELY a difference.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Skander1998:
The "i9300 original battery" is probably fake.

Mine is taller, just like the i9305.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] renierx:
The smaller batery has "EB-L1H2LLK" code on it, which refers (google it) to Chinese SCH-I939 Galaxy S3, not the I9300.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] lqrt:
Does the anker sold by laptopmate on amazon work with the i9305, because it isnt in the compatible list..,
[Galaxy S III Accessories] btemtd:
OO Ohhh not good bro..You have bought the wrong battery that is NOT a I9300 battery,

---------- Post added at 03:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:20 AM ----------

If it works for the I9300 then it works for the I9305, reason its not on the compatible is because the new S3 is not as well known yet
[Galaxy S III Accessories] rowver:
Well I rolled up some paper and stuffed it into the empty space when using the smaller size battery. It works.

Guess I got duped. Actually got it in Korea and it said S3 or SIII. Guess there are too many S3/SIII versions now. :o
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Skander1998:
That one is not for a legitimate S3, it's a clone S3 battery.

So, nope.. not "many" versions, only if you count knockoffs..
[Galaxy S III Accessories] diontoradan:
it's not a knockoffs, that battery belongs to korean version of S3, i just got a used korean S3 today, and when i try to purchase backup battery, it doesn't fit in, the i9300 battery is 5mm longer. both got the same capacity though.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] astro49:
I have an NTTdocomo SIII SC-03E and it also uses the shorter (but same width, thickness, capacity 2100mah) EB-L1H2LLK battery.

Definitely NOT a clone and I suppose yes, there are many SIII versions.

Btw, the SC-03E has a retractable antenna for its tv tuner. It's on the top right quite near the front camera. Maybe that is why they needed a shorter battery because of the space the tv tuner MIGHT have occupied.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Skander1998:
Although it is not possible to maintain the same capacity with the same thickness and other dimensions AND losing length.

Or else they would opt for higher capacity overall - well I guess it's a stupid design.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] astro49:
I found out and with a few mods, an SII (i9100) battery will fit an SC-03E. Slice off part of the side notch guides beside the battery terminal side (no need to slice off the other side notch) and removing the black spacer beneath the battery. The width of the SII battery is about 2-3mm narrower and its capacity is only 1750mah. I can manage about 16hrs with light usage with both wifi and data switches active.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] yeabilo:
I bough a brand new i777 from online (Ebay) in June 2012. The phone come with a stock ATT version android system. It a little lack and slow, but it is acceptable, and a month later I upgrade to Official ICS ATT version.

After I upgrade my phone, my computer would not recognize my phone. Everytime I try to connect the usb cable, and there always a rectangle notification pop on my left Windows. It shows USB port doesn't not recognized something like that, and I try to download Samsung USB disk software. my computer still would recognized my phone. I tried each port in my laptop, desktop, school desktops.

One month later, I flash my phone to other custom roms for several. And I notice the phone battery indicator would not show the % correctly. For example, if the phone has 50% battery, and I can't charge the phone without reboot. I MUST REBOOT PHONE TO CHARGE. sometine phone is charging. I unplug the usb cable, the battery indicator shows it is still charging and the 50% would not change even the battery is full 100%. and I will only see the 100% unless I reboot the phone.

later I flash AOKP rom. This time I can not charge and connect my phone through USB. I have to charge my phone in a Independence battery charger which I have to take out my battery, and put the battery into the battery charge.

Current condition.

Plug in USB and reboot the phone. The battery indicator shows charging, but actually it doesn't charge at all.

Is there anyway to fix my phone? back to stock version!

Thank for reading

[Samsung Infuse 4G] paluinfusion:
I am running PA JB latest build on my infuse, and i have data plan from AT&T, wife has SkyRocket (S2) without data plan.

To compare the data speeds, I powered off both phones, pulled out my sim and put in SkyRocket, powered up, then enabled data in settings,

Still, it doesnt get data enabled, tried rebooting still no use.

Why isnt my Sim in Skyrocket getting data enabled?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mg2195:
Why are you asking in the infuse section? I understand you have an infuse but the problem is related to the skyrocket... so you should ask in he skyrocket thread as they would know....

But since I do have an lte phone k can tell you the problem...

Lte phones use different apns then the rest of atg smart phones...they use pta APN, in order to use pta apns you have to call Att and enable lte for your account (which is free and doesn't cost anything extra...you just gotta say you got a skyrocket and need to activate the lte, they will ask for the imei...give it to the

If it still doesn't work then go to your nearest Att store and get an lte compatible sim...also free, but the one that comes with the infuse works for lte...if it says 3g on the sim it won't work
[Samsung Infuse 4G] paluinfusion:
Thank you for ur explanation. My remaining question, now that I know infuse doesnt support lte and skyrocket does, even with any custom ROM on infuse, I wont be able to get the high speeds which skyrocket can give.. rt ? OR if i get lte compatible sim and still use in infuse, (and flash latest JB/ICS ROMS) will infuse also can give lte speeds ?

thanx again
[Samsung Infuse 4G] csandman1977:
Nope. The ability for a phone to use the lte network is in the phone's hardware. No amount of hacking and reprogramming will make the infuse use lte.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] paluinfusion:
So, if I use skyrocket, i get much faster speeds than any ROM on infuse ?? What's the speed difference like in Mbps
[Samsung Infuse 4G] csandman1977:
I don't know. I don't have lte. I know speed is determined not just by the phone but the signal, the quality of the signal, the amount of traffic using the signal.

Of course this is a question you can answer yourself....

Do a few speed tests with the infuse and then put your sim in the skyrocket and enable the lte with at&t and do a couple speed tests on it.

Just remember each speed test uses about 20mb of data.

Then report your findings. I am kind of curious.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mg2195:
On average with an infuse you'll get about 8mbs down top...I usually average 6mbs down on an infuse and 1-2mbs up...most I've gotten is 3mbs up

With lte...I've gotten 23mbs download speed and 11mbs upload speed...and never lower than 20mbs down and 9mbs up... (only ran speed test six times) but I've seen people report and show proof of 80mbs down...

but that's only if you are in an area that has lte coverage...not everywhere has lte...if lte isn't in your area you'll end up using hspa+ or whatever is the highest speed in your area
[Samsung Infuse 4G] paluinfusion:
I ran with Infuse as it is, At home getting 1-3 Mbps range with several tests

Called ATT to provision the sim for LTE speeds, and ran with Skyrocket. And getting 4-7 Mbps range. Probably my home area isnt that covered with lte (even though ATT claims). So, looks easily 2-3 times speeds with LTE. I will probably use Skyrocket as long as wife allows :D

Maybe something got incorporated from a Verizon rom on your rom. Stock 4.1.2, MIUI 4.1.2 and the latest cm10 nightly do not show this for me.

That sounds right. I've got a GS3 from Verizon with CM10.1 and I get that 4636 menu. In fact, I needed it last week when I tried to use my phone in Europe. Without changing things in that menu, I wasn't able to get my phone to work on a GSM network.

Even after, I changed it to see the GSM network, I could receive calls, but not texts. I couldn't send texts either.

That is probably why. I'd recommend doing a factory reset in recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] epagib:
If you're running titanium then that means you're rooted, right? If you're rooted you should NOT (ie. Never) take a factory ota update. It has the potential to brick your phone.

I got that link in step 1.

"1. If your phone does not have Terminal Emulator installed, you will need to use ADB. Download and install the Android SDK platform-tools for your platform. This is a bit non-trivial as it requires the installation of the Android SDK, however, you can find a guide for installing adb here. After installing, open a command prompt and navigate to the "platform-tools" folder within the SDK, where adb is stored. If you need additional help on this, simply ask in this thread."

That site with the guide to install adb has terrible instructions so I gave up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
Dude you are making this way too difficult lol...install terminal emulator from the playstore and run the nv backup command...then never worry about losing imei again.

For Terminal Emulator: The actual "beef" of the command is the "reboot nvbackup" line. Therefore, if you have Terminal Emulator installed, you can just run the command straight off your phone. Enter these two commands from the app:

Code:

reboot nvbackup

I had the same problem. Ended up using odin to push the latest stock software which included the update. Now to see if I still get the no sim error. Realizing after all this time I really didn't need to root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] apacseven:
This is without a doubt the reason the update failed (unless there are multiple reasons). If you unfreeze the apps, it should install as expected.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mdt73:
I had zero apps frozen and was unable to install the update. Pushing it via Odin was the only thing that worked for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] apacseven:
Yes it isnt the only thing that can cause an update to fail. But since he already stated that he had frozen some apps, then it is known that the check will fail and the update wont proceed.
