disable kies on ur pc and try again..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Microtorrent:
I have, made sure it's not running in processors.

Also removed it from my System starup in Msconfig.

Still no joy? Stuck on Setup connection ... Worked before when i had to use it? :S

I turn my phone on and get to GT-S7500 and a black screen and nothing more...

Complelty stuck help me please

Thanks all
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryuinferno:
Questions like this should be in the Q&A section!

But since you are new, I will answer this anyway...:)

Your phone is still usable, but it is the custom ROM that made it unable to boot...have you done a factory reset? If not, please do that and reflash the ROM via CWM recovery...by the way, firmwares from sammobile.com is only flashable via ODIN...if ODIN is still stuck, reset your computer...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Microtorrent:
Thanks mate.

How do you doa factory reset? If you mean boot into CWM and go through every options as in resetting in there.. I have done that.

As you say that SamMobile firmware are only flashable with ODIN ( didn't know that ) how do i flash it on my phone?

Pretty sure each time i try and run the MD5 firmware it comes up with an error..

I will try the MD5 on the phone again...And post back.

Thanks for your help really appeciated
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Microtorrent:
Wheyyy! Fixed the problem. Turnes out that i was in Recovery mode rather than Download mode.

Ahaha Thanks!!

Hi Everyone,

I've been using XMP from last december and an XDA member from a long time. I have tried almost all the ROM's for XMP including AOKP,AOSP. ICS does not seem to be a great option for our phone. I bought this phone for taking decent pics on the go and it was fairly good at it. But with ICS the camera quality is a joke. I've tried different kernels and ROM's.

I'd request the developers to give some attention to GB development too, Please develop bugfree GB Rom's (Boof ROM's were awesome til Hybrom V11). I'd also like to request the kernel developers to develop a better kernel for GB, mainly a BFS Kernel for GB.

Thanks

I've seen there is a new sense 4+ theme on the htc one x+.

Is there a way to get it on sense 4.1?

I can't wait for the sense JB rom to release for my sensation.. I LOVE THE BLUE ACCENTS IN THE NEW SENSE THEME! :)
[HTC Sensation] usaff22:
I asked this on the One S forums a while ago:

Reply:

But you can get the other skins, just not the default one. (e.g Graphite, Concrete, Steel etc.)
[HTC Sensation] FreekvdHeijden:
Thanks

Thanks for your fast reply!

Too bad the theme isn't created yet..

I guess I have to wait until the JB ROM for our sensation is out.

But anyway thanks for your help.

Greets,

[HTC Sensation] usaff22:
No problem. Have you tried the other skins? They're really good.

Sent from my locked, tampered ville
[HTC Sensation] FreekvdHeijden:
yes

Yes, all of them ;)

I find concrete a beautiful one..

But after a while I prefer the stock theme, so that is why I asked if it was possible..

[HTC One S] kyuubi_ac:
Hey folks,

I got a really annoying problem with my bluetooth connection and couldn't find any useful other threads.

My precious One S is not able to connect to any kind of bluetooth devices. E.g. it can't find any devices by scan and my Sony Ericsson MW600 (BT headset) can't find the One S either. Well I thought the bluetooth modul might be completely broken, but oddly my MacBook recognizes the OneS, it only isn't able to get a connection.

I've tried everything I could think of, like reset, flashing new ROM and even the current RUU. Nothing helps.

So anybody out there with an idea?
[HTC One S] lampel:
I'd try running a nandroid backup and factory reset restoring NOTHING then test Bluetooth so you can eliminate software, programs, and settings. Not sure flashing a radio will help but I'd try that too...
[HTC One S] kyuubi_ac:
As mentioned: I've tried it with reset and flashing brand new RUU (without restoring anything). Due to this I even updated to a new radio. No success regarding bluetooth. :crying:
[HTC One S] lampel:
with my limited knowledge that makes it sound hardware related. The bluetooth antenna is under the top plastic cover (where the sim card is located - not sure which it is though) and I have seen a few people mention that gently bending the contacts up fixed/improved wi-fi performance maybe the same for BT... good luck!
[HTC One S] kyuubi_ac:
Good hint! I'll try to play around with the cover and report if it helps.

Edit: Nothing. Think I cannot avoid sending it to the german service partner.. :(

Hey guys,

before I hijack another Thread again, have som high-res pictures of the i9305 Board. I identified the Chips I could, but I couldn't get Info on all of them... I am posting this because we were wondering if the 9305 has FM Radio or not. (And it seems like it doesn't...)

Anyway find them pics here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/nqqcbf0er57josh/Oaby-BzY9g

Cheers
[Galaxy S III General] btemtd:
Good Idea maybe someone with hardware knowledge can confirm :) But i cant see anything that looks like the chip andreilux was showing and that chip in the same location is blurry i cant see how many legs it has or any numbers on it

This is also an interesting read

http://www.nab.org/xert/scitech/pdfs/rd031411.pdf

Which is probably why the dumbass samsung worker said its up to the carriers if they wish to include fm software maybe she was mistaken with another galaxy but unless someone can confirm it has the hardware then that worker obviously doesnt know what she is talking about

And I was doing a search and It came up under the I9300 detailed analasys a list of all the I9300 hardware

Network:

Broadcom BCM4334 - latest ultra low power solution for smartphones

Wi-fi 802.11 a/b/g/n

Bluetooth 4

Contains FM receiver (unused, Si4709 instead) <<<<<< Does this mean that the broadcom also has a fm receiver but they dont use it instead they use the SiLabs Silicon chip?

Does the I9305 have the Broadcom BCM4334??
[Galaxy S III General] langer hans:
I don't know about the Broadcom Chip, but I suspect it as this one Chip I couldn't identify... Yes, this one has a FM Receiver, but it also may be useless if it's not connected anywhere. We don't know that and we can't test that. At least I can't with my humble equipment ;)
[Galaxy S III General] btemtd:
http://www.broadcom.com/products/Wireless-LAN/802.11-Wireless-LAN-Solutions/BCM4334

If you read there it says .... The chip includes IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n single-stream MAC/baseband/radio, Bluetooth 4.0 + HS, and an integrated FM radio receiver.

I thought if its on the board it means its already wired up
[Galaxy S III General] langer hans:
A Chip beeing on a board doesn't imply it beeing fully wired up. Maybe they get a good price for this chip so they don't care about the FM part. And for why they used another chip on the 9300: I guess it was easier to layout. Maybe better reception, license fees or whatnot.
[Galaxy S III General] btemtd:
ahh well there goes that idea then... lol

I was reading this thread before http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1059296

Mentions a list of products and ours was in the list but note what it says. Its funny how everyone says maybe this maybe that

Says:

These devices will likely never be able to support FM with Spirit or any FM app: (But you never know. OG Motorola Droid was found to be FM audio capable, almost 3 years after introduction in Oct. 2009)

This was in the list

- Samsung Galaxy S3 US/Canada/Japan SC-06D/etc LTE versions do not have needed WCN3660 and Broadcom combo chip FM antenna pin not connected. GT-i9305 also appears incapable of FM. NEW: GT-i9305 / 9305T may have FM hardware, but stock, un-rooted ROMs are not capable.

I also found out yes we do have the BroadCom 4334 its a Murata chipset with FM capabilities But I think one pin of the chip is not connected to anything and that is the FM. Even the I9300 have this chipset and the same pin is not connected they instead use the SiLabs FM chipset
[Galaxy S III General] mikereidis:
Well, what I write there is based on what you guys are saying and we're all trying to find out together. :)

Re: telephone reps on the subject of whether or not a device supports FM: They seem to be accurate about 50-60% of the time. In fairness to them, they get little info from above and are not usually too tech savvy.

To many of these phone/support people, "FM" can include all the streaming apps that have "FM" in the title (when IMO they should say "streaming" or similar.) And there are SO many phones, and variants of hardware and software, coming out at a frantic pace, that it's difficult for them or ANY of us to figure out what's going on, unless we see a stock FM app, and someone reports it works.

As for the Broadcom BCM4330/4334/etc. chips for Bluetooth/Wifi, yes they all have FM receive (and transmit, but don't ask) hardware capability. But I think at least half of the devices using them don't use the FM part, and don't have the antenna pin(s) connected, nor the audio pins. And Broadcom has most of the market for "combo" chips.

So far I think every higher end Galaxy device uses Broadcom for Bluetooth and WiFi, and not a single one uses the FM part. This includes Galaxy S/S2/S3/Note/Note2/Player. If any of these devices has FM, it's via a dedicated Silicon Labs chip: Si4709 or Si4705 on GS3 at least.
[Galaxy S III General] mikereidis:
Trying to clarify the stories of reports of FM on GT-i9305:

- The Youtube video demo showed an FM app. AFAICT that person started the app and heard radio type static, but no signals. He said he was in a rural area with few signals, so who knows.

But I've written elsewhere that I think hearing static is a good sign, as it proves the audio path and FM chip are there, IMO.

- My second point relates to the Note2. I previously mistakenly thought it was for 9305, but it was Note2, perhaps the GT-i7100 model. But there are similarities between Note2 (or at least the GT-i7105 variant) and GT-i9305.

Around the time of unveiling of the Note2 I saw videos that briefly showed an FM app in the app drawer. But I don't recall any video/demo showing the FM app working, or any specific claim it was tried and worked.

- Before anyone brings it up, Internet phone spec sites are notoriously bad at small detail accuracy, particularly for FM.
[Galaxy S III General] AndreiLux:
The sound platforms are different for all the devices. Fact is globally all LTE variations of the S3 and Note 2 lack FM radio support, even if they magically had the hardware or pin-ups, the basic defconfig in all the kernels have the FM_RADIO base configuration turned off, not to mention the lack of GPIO pin definitions to it in any of the boards.
[Galaxy S III General] ewok666:
I would love to see a teardown of a 9305T now to see if they've installed another bandfilter to 'break' 2100MHz reception!!!
[Galaxy S III General] mikereidis:
I see a chip in the GT-i9305 pics in the same position as the si4705 FM chip on the GT-i9300. It's about half the length and width (1/4 area) as on the GT-i9300 but it's there.

It could be a Silicon Labs FM chip in a smaller package size, and that's my "bet" for what it is.

In the "FM is off topic, please don't post about FM" thread, I think the best page of posts is here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1932997&page=6 . AndreiLux posted a pic there showing the Si4705 between the Murata/Broadcom BT/WiFi/FM combo module/chip and the chip.

BTW, the Si4705 is U203 in the GT-i9300 service manual. There's an error claiming the Si4705 is u711, which is actually a big camera chip I guess.

There are GT-i9305 pics here: http://imgur.com/a/ypxOf#aS29c and I think best pic/resolution is pic 6 of 11 (0?) here: http://imgur.com/a/ypxOf#aS29c

In that pic 6, the Murata/Broadcom module is at lower left. Immediately to it's right is a small surface mount component at top, and below it what may be a chip.

Move to the right from the component and you see what I think is the Silicon Labs FM chip. There are several solder bumps.

For reference, further to the right and below is the white push button switch.

----

Software wise, my suspicion would be that a kernel for the GT-i9300 that supported the chip would "magically" support this alleged FM chip, using whatever constants and port values worked for 9300. It's the same Exynos SOC pretty much, and the board layouts are similar, right ?
[Galaxy S III General] btemtd:
The I9305 Runs on the 2100mhz are you saying that the I9305T may not?

---------- Post added at 12:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:11 PM ----------

Yes its the same exynos SOC and layous are similar .

Maybe andreilux has some input on your post, its very interesting.
[Galaxy S III General] mikereidis:
Thanks for the email log. So yours is a 9305 on Vodafone AU ?

I have another log from a 9305T on Telstra AU, but it wasn't rooted so I get less info.

The only sign of FM on either device is the "FM In" control in the ALSA audio driver. This doesn't prove anything one way or another though; "phantom" controls on variants are common.

If anyone can look closer at the FM chip and Murata module area, please do, and if you can, post high res pictures.

Besides that I look forward to someone building and installing a kernel with the Samsung Si4709_driver / radio-si4709-i2c drivers enabled, either in the main kernel or as loadable *.ko drivers. There are alternative V4L drivers for si470x but the Samsung ones are preferred for my app, and needed for the Samsung app.

IMO, a kernel dev could pretty much use the config from a GT-i9300.

These investigations usually end in defeat, and I could be wrong, but I'm feeling optimistic about this one with the evidence so far.

I see 4 kernel variants:

GT-I9305

GT-I930N

GT-I9305T_SEA

GT-I9305_HK

All use arch/arm/configs/m3_00_defconfig and none have the FM driver enabled. Interestingly GT-I9305_HK m3_00_variant_defconfig has some stuff for variants, but nothing impacts FM:

From the m0_00_defconfig file for GT-i9300 I think we need these 3 lines, but not sure about "Samsung Modules":

CONFIG_SAMSUNG_MODULES=y

CONFIG_FM_RADIO=y

CONFIG_FM_SI4705=y
[Galaxy S III General] btemtd:
Yes Vodafone is my network provider, I will see if OP can get High res pics... And Andreilux already made the kernel with FM but didnt want to release it untill 100% sure about FM... becuase it may brick a device??
[Galaxy S III General] mikereidis:
I seriously doubt bricking potential, but with software you never ever know for sure until you try. Communications with the chip is via I2C, not potentially dangerous GPIOs. but there are some GPIOs used for power and who knows what else.

I note that this is a somewhat new si4705 driver Samsung has in drivers/samsung/fm_si47xx for GT-i9300, although it seems little different from the Galaxy S/S2/Note fm_si4709 driver, at first glance at least.

For anyone interested, there is some useful information here about FM missing from the original US LTE GS3s, compared to GT-i9300: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=31576462

There are various pics, schematic excerpts and a bit about the differences with Si4705 versus the si4709 of the International Galaxy S/S2/Notes.
[Galaxy S III General] ewok666:
No, I'm saying that on past 'T' models the 2100MHz band was attenuated to reduce signal and make them prefer other bands. This is a link but the discussion has been had here before and you should be able to find pictures showing the element discussed.

http://webdevsys.com/gt-i9100t.htm
[Galaxy S III General] btemtd:
Good research Mike! we'll just wait till andreilux joins the convo, as he has the knowledge of creating the Kernel side.

Also you might like to know that apparently the Law in hong kong restricts the use of Fm radio in Mobile devices, as i have been told by a few suppliers.
[Galaxy S III General] oswade:
Whether it's true or not, my i9305T appears to have equal or better reception on optus than my i9000 (hard to tell 100% but it certainly crazy fast with H+ at my home! My i9000 was almost always crawling on H (hsdpa? the naming scheme really confuses me). I may try to install a stock i9305 modem in future to test though :)
[Galaxy S III General] btemtd:
Well i know for a fact the i9305 is fine on every network in australia just depends on the providor on what speed and quality you will get. And yes we have Dc-hspa+ which is 2 times faster then normal 3g hspa+ ...which is why your getting high speeds. Our phone will still only show h+ if we are on DC i already looked into that .Just imagine 4g.. browsing will go on yet a whole other level again! Lol

I think the 9305t is the same thing to be honest unless telstra did restrict a band to force people to stick with them. That is what you would call a big shifty company.

Becausr the i9300t was the same as the i9300. So i am only assuming this would be the same
[Galaxy S III General] ewok666:
Can't say much about the i9300 vs i9300T or the i9305 for that matter BUT what I do know is that the i9100 was supposed to be the same as the i9100T and it very clearly was not. From my own experience the i9100T was sh1t in some areas where an i9100 was perfectly fine and a teardown showed a bandfilter where the i9100 had none.

On Whirlpool is a guy who flashed the Singapore firmware onto his Telstra i9305T and promptly lost 4G. He flashed back the Telstra firmware and got 4G back. I have the Singapore firmware on an i9305 (non T) and my 4G works just fine.

Now, you tell me what to conclude from this but I will not spend a single cent on another T model....I just don't need this kind of crap! (and by crap I don't mean the phone itself but rather the practice of crippling something that works perfectly fine just so you can force your customers one way or the other!)
[Galaxy S III General] btemtd:
Ok I dont want to highjack this thread but one last thing.. Did you know that the modem is transferable from the I9305 vs I9305T and I9300 vs I9300T and Also the I9100T vs I9100 And also dont forget it could be the actual device aswell not every single device is the same even 2 X I9305's each will perform differently. No 2 phones are exactly the same.

I previously had the I9300T and I used a I9300 modem and vice verca my freind had the I9300, honestly there was no major difference we could see sometimes his reception would be better sometimes mine sometimes the same. I think the modem is the thing that makes the difference as all the hardware is the same. I bet.

But yeh anyways this thread is meant to be for the FM radio lol ooops
[Galaxy S III General] AndreiLux:
Ehm. I already compiled a test kernel and told you guys about it in that very post that mike linked. First of all the kernel doesn't compile as I've already told you since the radio is requesting GPIO definitions which simply don't exist on the M3 board or for that matter any LTE Galaxy. If I port the GPIOs definitions needed from the M0 then there are pins who overlap with other definitions and that's why I told you that I won't release that kernel to anybody, even if it compiled successfully with that hack.

That tiny IC in the neighborhood of the previous FM radio is something else. The dedicated GPS/GLOSNAS chip is also missing.
[Galaxy S III General] btemtd:
I know this which is why i wrote the below in one of my replies..

" And Andreilux already made the kernel with FM but didnt want to release it untill 100% sure about FM... becuase it may brick a device?? "

but yeh you both seem more tehnical inclined so it wont be appropriate for me to say anything, but have a read through all mikes posts if you have not.
[Galaxy S III General] AndreiLux:
It was also directed towards Mike who apparently jumped over that part of the thread and is repeating the things which I already did, and why it doesn't work that simply.
[Galaxy S III General] mikereidis:
Thread title is "i9305 Teardown" so I'd say we can discuss anything related to the hardware, unless the OP feels otherwise.

I don't have much knowledge or opinion in the area of GPIOs, so I'm happy to accept your views on the subject. So it's the same SOC on 9300 & 9305, but the added Qualcomm LTE chip (or something different) is using GPIOs previously used by FM ? If FM was still there, you'd think they'd try to keep using the same GPIOs, so that's a bit of discouragement.

How do we know that chip, in the 9300 FM chips position, is something else ? But we don't know what it is ?
[Galaxy S III General] AndreiLux:
It doesn't matter if it's the same SoC, the boards are different and it resembles more to the Note 2 N7105 than the Galaxy S3. The QC baseband is a huge change, and other than that there's also things like them removing the monolithic GPS IC.

The GPIO tables are different and lack any FM definition, the sound platform is very different and lacks any mention of FM, the chip is not there anymore. I'm deducting from all those facts that that IC in its place is just some simple electrical component with just very simple logic, as it's just a 6 pin IC a quarter the size of the SI chip. Analog circuits don't scale down that much.
[Galaxy S III General] btemtd:
All good im fine with that, only cause we came from another thread talking about this which was off topic, and i assumed OP only opened this to talk about His pictures.

" I am posting this because we were wondering if the 9305 has FM Radio or not"

I guess as long as it doesnt wonder to much off topic that we loose the point of his thread.;)
