It doesn't backup directly to Dropbox, you backup to your SD card then sync to Dropbox. To do that, press menu then Preferences/Cloud sync settings, check "enable dropbox" then go to "connectivity modes". There you can set it to sync on WiFi, Ethernet, 3G, 4G LTE or 4G wimax. Then go to "power modes". There you can set it to sync on ac charge, USB charge or any which includes ac & USB charge as well as battery. Then back out of the menu and select "schedules". Set a schedule to automatically sync to Dropbox or you can choose to sync right away. Before it will sync you'll have to sign in to Dropbox via TiBu but it's smooth sailing after you set it up correctly.:thumbup:

Not as far as I can tell. :what:

203,060 five star ratings with only 7,522 one star ratings is FAR from being poor ratings I think. :sly:

Split what up?

No. Create a folder on your SD card named TitaniumBackup. Then open the app, press menu, select "preferences" then "backup folder location". Press thee "detect" button and select "whole device". If it doesn't find the folder automatically, you can manually navigate to the folder you created. Once you're there in the empty folder select "use the current folder" then it will ask if you want to move all of your backups to the new location.

"They" didn't, you did. ;) Just do that ^^^ and the internal memory size will be back to normal. :thumbup:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] windstrings:
Thx for all the explanation, I can tell this app has "evolved" over time.. I don't feel so bad about asking now, that's not exactly forthright.... The price you pay to have lots of options.

A simple backup now button would be nice, like they have for the internal memory....

Sure thing. It is a bit complex but once you get it, it really works quite well.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] windstrings:
Looks like your talking about Ti backup, now when you purchase pro when you first fire up the app it prompts you to consider another titanium app that Backs up online and I think to SD also and it costs something like 2.50$. And it says this will the the only prompt with a link to the market.

I expect this is their solution rather than make it easy.

I understand there has to be a limit how much one app will do BUT there is competition out there that's will turn heads if they don't pay attention to the market.

You said create a folder on your SD card.. It won't... You can only create on internal storage and I used Es Explorer to create a directory on my ext SD card and it won't browse to it to link.

I wonder if they have never fixed permissions to the ext SD card.

I have open permissions to ext SD even before I rooted "with Nextappsdfix" , nothing even needs permission and it still won't work.

WHAT'S funny if I act like I'm going to import, it gives me a choice of dropbox, root Explorer, or my Es Explorer...... Not so for backing up!

Guess I can backup to internal then move it is the only way.

How do i revert back to my original kernel once i flashed another kernel???
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jdsingle76:
You can either flash the stock kernel if there's one available or a stock tar, which has the kernel embedded. What's your setup?(Phone carrier, build version, etc). Might be easier to point you in the right direction if we knew a bit more.

---------- Post added at 06:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:12 AM ----------

Try creating a folder using your default "myfiles." With KK, Samsung changed the way you can interact with your internal and external storage. I've found sometimes it's easier just to use the default to move files, create folders, etc. Apps/myfiles/menu, select create folder, should get you set up.

Is my battery draining 2% every 5-6 hours bad?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] windstrings:
If you do the math, 2 percent every 5 hours means your good for 250 hours!... No I think your good

2 percent X 50 = 100 percent

50 X 5 hrs = 250 hrs

Just so you know, I meant on standby.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] windstrings:
What's your phone rated for on standby?

With root you can adjust many things to help.

What kills most folks standby time are social media apps and even weather apps that constantly poll to check things because some aren't pushed so they have to check in to see status changes.

Turn off sync on everything you really don't want syncing, delete any accounts you really don't want.

In ROM Toolbox you can adjust what starts and runs on your apps, most you don't need, especially advertising.

The more powerful the computer or smartphone, the more crap they try and run to monitor your actions, habits, advertising, throw on social media and there a lot of competition for your battery.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TheKryptonite:
On the Samsung site, it says that the standby time is 300 hours on 3G; 200 on 4G (it's different on another site, though). Now, when the screen is on, I seem to lose 1% every 3 minutes.

I recently attempted root using Odin 3.07, and received a Pass from Odin. SuperSU was installed to my device, however it will not open, and crashes on launch. I downloaded Root Checker and it said I did not achieve proper root installation. Where do I go from here?

I can't unistall it using the default application uninstall process, and I can't update it from the app store either

Almost sounds like supersu is installed as a system app, but that wouldn't have been possible without root

Pull battery and come up fresh and check status
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] BottomKek:
In the application manager I'm only able to Force Stop or Turn Off the app. It's current permissions are "Full permissions to all device features and storage. Retrieve running apps. Run at startup. Draw over other apps. Prevent phone from sleeping"

Edit: After battery pull status remains the same. Root Checker says Device does not have proper root access. When I attempt to open SuperSU I get a popup that reads, "Unfortunately, SuperSU has stopped."

Kernel boot image

[/COLOR]Boost mobile Rooted S3 SPH-L710

4.4 kitkat based Wicked-X 7.1 Rom

running Ktoonsec kernel

Ok, I would post this directly to the proper thread but I cant due to XDA rules. If anyone has connections to KToonsec that would be appreciated for him to help me considering I'm using his kernel. I need to change the image that comes up before the bootani but after the initial Samsung. I have moved all the files associated with the boot animation in system/media, to somewhere else, so now I only get a flashing android. That's fine. But my issue is I want to be able to take it to a store and boot it up without them knowing it's modded. Currently it flashes the ktoonsec kernel animation/picture and that just wont do (for when i have to go to the store, it's fine otherwise). I have searched and searched to no avail but I am not seeming to find the correct answer.

So, does anyone have a backup file/ know how to change this without remaking the whole kernel?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] j61101:
If you dont care about knox or have given up hope on the soft root process, then I would suggest flashing Philz Touch on your phone. From the recovery screen you can easily root your device using the prompts in recovery mode. I personally tried the soft root and it did not work so I just did this. I'm including a flashable zip that you can use in recovery mode to get root just in case you decide that you are going to flash CWM (Philz Touch) and are not going to use the rooting method within Philz.

Queer problem with BusyBox & SuperSU

Sprint Galaxy S3

I'm having the same problem as BottomKek more or less.

Used single click installer w/Odin, and it said I had root, but "joey krim" version of root-checker says No Root.

CF single click apparently installed SuperSU, and now can't uninstall it

Programmer (?CF?) says if it doesn't work can't uninstall normal way, & must use some other SU app to overwrite it, but *how* ?

Have tried TowelRoot, and after that, one version of root-checker fails, while Basic Root Checker says I have root, but no busy box installed.

As the phone boots, get notice that SuperSU has failed

Have been trying to install various versions of busy box, but, *NO* joy there.

As they say in NooB-Land--- KELP....errr .... Help!

BTW... have gone so far as to wipe the cache & phone *several* times

but SuperSU stays as an icon on one of he screens, how I can't even guess. As a System App?

Any and all help *greatly* appreciated, I have unlimited data, and finally have 4g in the neighborhood,

So want to get rid of my ISP and their $$$$$ charges.

TIA

Had the same problem. Couldn't get root, couldn't Uninstall.

Don't use "one-click" methods of anything so...

What worked for me was to flash philz recovery (actually already had philz recovery). Downloaded supersu.zip and flashed through philz. Had to then go to Google play and update supersu, but it worked.

Don't have a clue why supersu is being such a **** lately....

I don't know if you fixed this issue or not but if you didn't here is how I fixed mine.....

I had similar issues the last time I flashed a new rom. The way I fixed it was going into settings→ under the "MORE" tab→ security→ there should be an "UNKNOWN SOURCES" option.......by checking that box you will allow installation of apps other than the play store. Once I checked that box I rebooted my phone and I was able to access the SUPERSU and used "ROOT CHECKER BASIC" to verify that I was rooted.

Hope this helps!!!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TheKryptonite:
Anyone have problems with the screen black, forcing you to turn your device back on?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sevenpioverthree:
I'm guessing that killing an app doesn't kill the notification. If you get an email and open up the Gmail app, the app needs to load still because your phone received a push notification alerting you of an email.

Could be many things, usually you'll want to nandroid and flash back to complete stock (odin the stock .tar) , if you still have the issue it might be hardware related
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TheKryptonite:
The first issue seems be fixed after updating the ROM.

As for the second issue, I guess it stopped after I disabled something.

Edit: I guess the first issue is back. At least with certain apps.

Noob looking to Root

Hi XDA, thanks for setting up this thread, I didn't want to be annoying starting new topics asking questions.I'm pretty new to the android scene, got my first smartphone a couple of days ago and quickly learned that you can do a lot more with android phones if they are rooted. I took the liberty of doing some research and trying to root my SPH-L710 4.4.2 using old methods and it didn't work. It left superuser in it and I wanted to factory reset to ota kitkat. I found a ota 4.4.2 rom and flashed that and got it back to the point when I first got it.

That's what brings me to my first question. Is there working way of rooting a SPH-L710 running 4.4.2 ?

You put the phone in download mode so odin and do stuff to it.

then flash the PDA with a special file, I don't know what file that is.

after you boot into the custom recovery and look for the phils file and recover using that?

Help me out here if any of those things are wrong.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
yes correct sir most of what you said is wrong :p but im here to help

Step 1. download latest

Philz touch recovery

after download put on desktop with or where ever you have Odin on your computer

Step 2. put s3 in download mode and make sure Odin is reading it either a yellow or blue/green com port will show

Step 3. in Odin uncheck auto reboot then under PDA/AP you put the Philz .tar file you previously downloaded

Step 4. click start and let it do its thing (since auto reboot is unchecked you have to see when it says done or finished)

Step 5. after complete hold the Power + Home + Vol. Up button to boot into recovery then once there go under Philz settings then click re-root (SuperSU)

Step 6. wipe Cache and under advanced wipe Dalvick Cache just so you will get used to it :P then go back to home screen in the recovery and reboot system

Step 7. download SuperSU from the play store and also BusyBox then let SuperSU update your binary and disable Knox then reboot then install BusyBox and make sure to give root permissions to BusyBox so it can install

and there you go enjoy root :)

Did you download the right KT747 kernel? If you're on TouchWiz v4.4.2 (stock ND8/NBC based), did you get the one made for that? Just asking since it's a common mistake since there's separate ones for TouchWiz 4.3, 4.1.2, AOSP v4.4.x, 4.3, etc.

KT747-TW-KK-4.4-SPR-05-13-2014.zip is the file name of the latest one made for TouchWiz 4.4.2.

If you did try the right one, some people's phones, even though they're the same model, like and dislike different things. There's others on here that KT747 doesn't work at all for them.
