[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Legato Bluesummers:
If you don't know why it failed. download to OTA. And when it prompts you to install, say you'll do it later. Now extract the update file from your /cache/ directory. (That's where it was on Motorola's, I think its /cache/fota/ on our S3 ). Copy/move that file to the root of your SD card. Reboot into stock recovery and flash it. Watch the update when it fails it will call out specifically what went wrong. When you let the system automatically do it you don't get that luxury. If you initiate the update on your own through stock recovery though, you are granted that key piece of Intel as to what it didn't like.

Freezing anything in titanium will fail an OTA automatically. It checks system files to make sure certain ones are there, especially bloatware. Also having custom recovery will fail you.

As was said if your rooted you should never both with OTA anymore. If you're coming from a motorola like I did it is hard to grasp that at first. We needed official OTA to update the kernel. So you almost had to do it. Now though. We have an unlocked bootloader here. You can flash any kernel you feel. So OTA are meaningless for us on the S3. The devs steal all the good code and bits and put it in their ROMs and leave out the garbage. No reason to need official OTA anymore then unless you truly want to

Seriously..... That was easy lol. What's the point of step 1

Since I never read the next lines that says " If your phone is rooted and has Terminal Emulator installed, you don't need to do any of this. Simply open up the Terminal Emulator and go to step 2.", I never completed backing up the IMEI probably because I didn't know the Terminal Emulator was an playstore app.... Now I got a backup, I'm unlocked, running a custom rom. Thanks a lot man. You helped a lot.

No prblem sir, glad to help!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HHF2:
I can't seem to get my phone to update. I locked bootloader, flashed stock recovery and tried the OTA and it failed. Nothing is frozen, I did flash Google now, but that is it. I read a few did it just like this and lost root, but that is easy enough to fix for this update. Any ideas??

Basically, I don't want to lose data and only have access to MacBook Pro at home. Anything Odin would have to be done at work.

Google now is the problem.

Anyone know how to get the notification light to blink when new text or call received, I noticed it worked in the aosp build but not the cm10 build I'm on now am I missing something!?

Thanks.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] gp126904:
I am running cm10 as well and my notification light is working fine (although it seems all the custom colors I try to create just end up looking white.... Just messed with the settings and i was making the color too dark, now the colors look great!) and it should have been active from the start. Go to settings -> display -> and then notification light and make sure it is enabled, then from there you can tweak the color settings.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Mudvien:
Yeah blinks once and then it doesn't blink anymore! :/
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Mudvien:
Anyone else have any ideas it's supposed to blink continuously until you open your phone right if there is a missed message you have not checked?

Download Lightflow and you can customize the colors, frequency and other sounds associated with notifications and calls. It also overrides the default notification lights for apps so you don't have to worry about getting multiple colours for a notification.

What is causing this?

All my photos on my ad card are put of whack. Pictures taken in 2008 are showing as taken in 2012. Strange random dates. This has happened after flashing new roms.

Google picasa has all my photos saved in the correct date sequence, but when I sync to picasa, my phone still puts the pictures in some random order. How can I fix this cause its killing me.

[Windows Phone 8 General] Dr.8820:
I don't wanna beat a dead horse, but this is going to be disastrous for Nokia....let's see, AT&T has people that bought the L900, the Titan, Titan 2, and Focus 2...throw in the people who bought SG3's...sprinkle in the folks that bought iPhone 5's...now where are all these people who want this phone going to come from? Is Nokia really that stupid to think everyone is going to leave their carrier for this phone, especially when AT&T didn't push a single update for WP7...?

to whome? consumers? nope. the point mcosmin made matters, and applies.
[Windows Phone 8 General] mcosmin222:
It will help Nokia.

My point was that ATT PAID nokia in order to get the exclusive rights.

No OEM gives exclusiveness out of the goodness of their heart.

And it will probably have nothing to do with the amount of L920 ATT is gonna sell.
[Windows Phone 8 General] Dr.8820:
That's fine. I just hope Nokia doesn't ***** in 4 months that this, like the L900, wasn't a commercial success.

Part of the problem is Microsoft.

They shouldn't have gone out and said "Windows phone 8 is not available for you guys with 7.5"

And you know why? because most people are dumb. They have no idea what the 7.8 update really is. Basically, the 7.8 update will make the current lumia phones get the maximum out of their hardware. I for one, will probably skip this first line of WP8 handsets and lay quietly with my lumia 800 for a few years. Quad cores will show up by then.
[Windows Phone 8 General] Taurenking:
This.

They should have said that ALL winPhone will get an update with limited functions perhaps, just like other companies (*cough Apple *cough)...People would have continued to buy wp devices and others would have bought the first gen of wp8 phones.

But....

This fact really is restraining a lot of ppl from buying wp all in all...fearing they may remain without update after 1/2 years, perhaps?

I, for example, am starting to think to switch to android for this.
[Windows Phone 8 General] mcosmin222:
hhahahahahahahaha

and you think android is gonna be different? phones out there get released and months later there is no support for them. Only flagships like SG3 or HTC one X will get support for a maximum of 2 years.

Lumia will probably be the longest living line as far as support is concerned.
[Windows Phone 8 General] Dr.8820:
I feel them on the leaving the platform part, I'm looking at my HD2, which was abandoned by Microsoft, now my HD7 will join that pile....as much as I dislike Samsung, the Ativ is my only shot IF my carrier gets it.

This phone looks great, but i think I'm feeling the HTC 8X line that is coming to AT&T more. The HTC ones just look...sleeker? I don't know, maybe is the shape of the 920.
[Windows Phone 8 General] broons:
The problem with android is its so segmented. As soon as you buy the latest and greatest, its already at least one version of android behind. Not to mention that in a month or so afterwards company x releases something better so developers jump ship to that one. And thanks to the overlays and tweaks that are added it takes forever to get otas. And so on and so on.

That's why I've been seriously considering wp8. But now the problem is my handset choice is going to be so limited and im not going to at&t. Coverage sucks in my area and they are more expensive than Verizon. So in other words, booo to Nokia
[Windows Phone 8 General] ohgood:
fragmented... get it right!

if coverage sucks, just buy whichever without contract and use straight talk.

poor planning on the purchasers part. I wouldn't buy a non contract phone for verizon until I was sure of that carrier, myself.

For like the millionth time since this is like the 5th thread since aosp based roms have been released on this device. It's the national emergency messaging system test message, on TW roms its in plain text and says "this is a test of the emergency alert system, this is only a test" or something close to that since I haven't gotten a plain text version of it in months I can't remember the precise wording, but its only a test of the national emergency alert system used in the event of a disaster, natural or man made. It will text you if there's a severe storm, hurricane, earthquake, blizzard, tsunami, terrorist attack, nuclear reactor meltdown, biological outbreak, etc.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Well its not carrier specific, and the reason it doesn't show a sender is because it doesn't go against your messaging allotment, and will come thru even if you have no messaging plan. I've gotten about 3 dozen of them since the tests started being pushed in March. Usually get between 3 and 6 one day a month when they push the test messages. The tests show up in black text, in the event of a real emergency, or amber alert they come thru in red text with the location and details of the event.

If you are taking a picture with low light, candle light or very little ambient light then the picture may come out underexposed (dark) and grainy (noise due to low light).
