That's true

I've updated to 4.1.1 this morning just before giving up waiting and moving to the French one rolled out few days ago

the display is really better and the phone is. a bit faster and without any wiping.

That's nice for a phone just released officially here in Egypt 4 months ago and a firmware released globally 4 months ago.
[Galaxy S III General] stfudude:

[Galaxy S III General] Asseel:
nice to see a thread about galaxy s3 in Egypt!

when

when ill get this update..can anyone help me,,cant wait :)
[Galaxy S III General] ahmedmelm:
XXLFB won't get direct update to Jelly Bean, you need 2 updates: XXLH1 and XXLH3 to be able to get Jelly Bean. I was checking updates say like 10 times per day so it might gave me opportunity to get it as earliest :)

Try updating via Kies if OTA not available or telling you that you have to wait in the queue :)
[Galaxy S III General] hamidoo:
Had 4.1.1 a month ago :)

Official updates has been rolling out to users from 1 month ago, I had this update (From Poland) from 24 Sep! ;)
[Galaxy S III General] batman372:
I have done this update yesterday ...

Over all It is quiet faster than ics ...

Also samsung logo in start up dont apear any more ...
[Galaxy S III General] ahmedmelm:
I've also faced this critical bug "logo disappeared" at startup with black screen and I had to reinstall it via Kies (about 1 GB download) :good:
[Galaxy S III General] Asseel:
maybe you can try to update via kies, check for updates every now and then :))

Another thing EGYPTIANS can you guys post your battery time/screentime??

and tell me whether 3G is draining the battery too much or not ?

Thank you :D
[Galaxy S III General] batman372:
Yes I noticed than 3G/H/H+ drain battery faster ... Also for over all battery life is decreased than ICS ...

Jelly Bean Update for Mobile purchased in Muscat

is it possible to get official software updates for Galaxy S3 (say Jelly Bean or any..) in India,which is purchased in Muscat? Im little worried. Android specialists.. plz help.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rogerperk:
Stock SG3. Never rooted. Got a notice for an upgrade, I assume to Jelly Bean, that said the phone will reboot and it will take 10 mins. Hit OK, it turned off and there it sits. Tried to get to recovery after 40 mins, no joy. Took out battery, no joy. Best I can get is if I hold down the power button it'll buzz after 5-6 seconds and flash teeny tiny words "Recovery Booting..." in the upper left corner in a nice blue color. Up, power, Home does nothing. T-Mo said to take it to a store. NOT real impressed with the update or aftermath. Ideas or suggestions?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] txcyko:
I would suggest you provide a little more info. Was it stock firmware?...root?...etc etc
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] psykhotic:
I'd suggest taking it to the store.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Android_Monsters:
There can be problems with any big rollout.

It's really 6 of one and a half a dozen.

Just flash cm10 you'd be straight.

My dad won't let me upgrade his stock one. Pebble blue.

I could fix it up.

You're only hard bricked if you can't get into recovery or down load mode
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] chrisram88:
Hold down volume down + home + power button and see if it turns on. That's recovery mode. You will see a warning signs... If your able to do that just bite the bullet and root it. Let me know so I can link you to no trip method
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rogerperk:
Thanks folks. As I said in my original post, this is a stock, non-rooted phone and - eventually - I got it back working. I guess it just wanted a rest. Then i applied the update via Keis BUT it wasn't Jelly Bean. It was something else because I still show 4.0.4. Disappointed.

minimode-res.apk : I found what is it now .

It's for mini popup browser .

Will change db details next time
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] goddamnit:
v1.08 Oct 26 2012

Change icon

Layout change

applist.dbf add remote control / change minimode-res.apk details.

Now you can edit the output script by

- Using Editplus (or sth like that) - open

script-begin : Inside this ,you can mount system ,set backup path ,and etc

script-main : main script to delete bloatware .Don't change keyword : #ThisIsApkToRemove that will replace with apk name when output

This two file MUST save as UNIX format
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] abumhmmd1:
great

will test it tnt
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] nishbul:
I checked your script, doesnt do anything to the libs, maybe u can improve on your script by adding or removing un-needed libraries also.

thanks.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] goddamnit:
Hi nishbul.

I have think about this too .

But ,if I remove the lib also ,user will hard to restore the apps.

And ,mainly ,this script is to stop that auto-load apps .

Maybe I will add delete libraries too if I let literom creator gen. restore script .

Anyway ,thanks for comment :laugh:

Regards,
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Crushader:
Great tool! But would it possible to have an option to load the ROM into the tool and select list of bloatware you want to remove and export the script?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] goddamnit:
Hi Crushader,

It's easy to generate file list from ROM file.

But it's not easy to let literom creator think about which is bloatware.

Hmm.. maybe I will add import function then.Seem useful :p

Regards
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Crushader:
Cool, looking forward to that update =]!!!
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] goddamnit:
I doubt if I should add function that read default db from internet.

So we can switch db ,like n7000-> n7100 more easy.

Or simple create a txt file to store db ,so can import / export.from txt ?

Or ...both of them ? lol

Because this script should work on ALL android system 4.0+ (2.3 too ,but need to modify script-begin)

Maybe there is Moto db ,HTC db and etc.. later :p
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Crushader:
Hmm I see, either way its a great tool =]

New version of DBEdit aviliable here :

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1435054&d=1351348939

Simple unzip ,place new file to folder Lite-ROM Creator

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I think this main screen is simply enough to use .

If you cannot understand what it do .Please skip this post :p

This version of DBEdit ,added a new function Manage DB

Now you can :

Backup your DB List

Import List

Restore to default list

Clear Database

Restore : Read a text file ,old db will be delete ! And save all item aviliable inside text file . You can use this to switch between phones ,like from N7000 -> N7100 ,and vice versa .

Clear : All db will delete !

---------------------------------------------

Follow is test function ,read a list of apk and generate a new db.

it should work fine on EVERY Android Phones with ICS .

(Note : For GB rom ,you will need to modify file [script-begin] ,line4 ,then it will work fine .Message me if you need it)

First ,you must have a system dump (or something like that)

Method 1 ,Get from your phone : Great tutor here : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7204732&postcount=1

Method 2 ,download system dump files from XDA or somewhere else .I think you can download the system dump file before you get your new phone .

Method 3 ,download a CWM flashable ROM

After that ,

open the zip (RAR maybe) file

Inside the file ,there is a folder [system] ,open it

Inside [system] ,open folder[app]

Copy all files ,to folder [Place_System_App_Here] which is aviliable @ Lite-ROM creator folder

You can go back to Lite-ROM Creator now

Now ,click button Clear (depends)

click Generate App List in Lite-ROM Creator.

You will get a list like this .

Then start to create your own db.

If you want to know if the apk safe to remove . You can double click grid item ,

A search link to XDA will be opened with your stock browser .

If you created a new db .Please tell me so I can put it into db_list :)

---------------------------------------------------

Remark since v1.03

How can I switch database ?

1. Open dbEdit.exe

2. Inside dbEdit ,click Restore ,choose database that you want

3. Done

How can I make a lite-rom script quickly with new function : Combine App List?

1. Open dbEdit.exe

2. Copy all apk files ,inside /system/app/ ,to folder [Place_System_App_Here]

3. Inside dbEdit ,click Restore ,choose file [FULL DB include everything] **You may want to backup the db you are using right now.

4. Click [Combine App List]

5. Done . Now you have a database that match your rom.

Not working on my standard 7100.

BusyBox 1.202 and SManager 2.6.0.2 installed. Stock rom and kernel XXDLL4, JB 4.1.2, root with CF-autoroot from Chainfire.

The script start, mkdir command ok then go to finished, I retry twice, second time mkdir logically failed and same, other commands did not apply (see attachment).

Anyway thanks for your work.

Please import full db using dbedit.exe,then try again.

I uninstalled the old version of safestrap, then installed the new version. I can do everything just fine (install, wipe, etc) but when I try to boot from the ROM slots, the phone just sits at a black screen.. I tried flashing Eclipse 3.0 and nothing happens.. help???
[Motorola Droid 3] daimerion:
Well eclipse 3.0 hasn't worked for me. The latest cm10,aokp,and aosp boot for me as well as mavrom 4.5 and axiomcs 1.0. Have u tried any other roms aside from eclipse?
[Motorola Droid 3] rchdroid3:
Don't think eclipse works with new Safestrap. I have tested CM10, AOKP, AOSP, and Steel Droid. Those 4 all are "working".

Steel Droid is the most stable one i have tried so far, CM10, AOKP and AOSP all lag for me.
[Motorola Droid 3] Munckster:
Hey guys,

New to Droid 3/ Milestone 3 World here.

I just bought one, actually with the 5.2.390.XT860.Brasil.en.BR version.

I'm not exacly new to flashing roms, and recoveries, but in this case I'm a little confused. Is it possible to use SafeStrap on this one? Or better go for an older version of it?

Thanks in advance.
[Motorola Droid 3] bArAbAts:
@Munckster, as long as it is rooted you can install safestrap 3.04 and try if custom roms work for you?? but make sure you have the correct SS3 version!!
[Motorola Droid 3] Munckster:
I was thinking about trying... Maybe during the weekend..

Thanks for the advice, man!
[Motorola Droid 3] matthewgeier:
I took my phone back to stock (from an oldish CM9 that had been working reasonably well for me for some time) so I could install SS3. Made the mistake of letting the phone OTA update itself and then had to find a new root hack before I could get SS3 installed.

Unfortunately the OTA update has messed with the radio, as reinstalling the CM9 I've used for months gets a system where the phone app just crashes.

The kexec cm9 on hash code's download site results in a black screen for me. I have to pull the battery to get the phone back. Funnly enough the old CM9 does boot - and every thing works except the phone.

The latest CM10 does every thing I want (I can live with out the camera) BUT I can't receive calls, the phone app crashes. (But I can MAKE calls!).

This is on GSM BTW, not CDMA where I live.

So i'm busted back down to the 'stock' OS so I can use my phone as a phone :)

And as a new XDA user I can't post my bug report in the developer thread.
[Motorola Droid 3] Munckster:
Well,

I installed the 3.0.5 version. Works like a charm! The easiest to use recovery that I ever use.

But the question is: Is it safe to downgrade it?

Sorry about the dumb question. ;)
[Motorola Droid 3] matthewgeier:
SS3 can be un-installed pretty easily. Boot your 'stock' OS, then use the SS3 app to remove the 'hijack' and then reboot again. No SS3. Just remember to do it from the 'stock' OS and not one of the others.

Don't do what I did with SS2 - from a non stock OS, remove SS and reboot. Ended up with a phone that never finished booting before it rebooted. Fortunately the emergency recovery mode built into the phone worked to recover it.
[Motorola Droid 3] Ngn.Ryan:
Is the issue you're having that when you're speaking to people on the phone you can't hear anything and they can't hear you? Cause on CM9 there should be no issues with using it as a phone as long as you don't enable bluetooth ever or use buttons on a headset connected to your phone. I haven't tried CM10 yet so I wouldn't know too much about that. Just for some extra info to save your time do not flash Liberty or Eclipse, they don't seem to work. The newest Maverick works fine.
[Motorola Droid 3] Munckster:
I was going to try from the stock.

I am much more familiar with clockworkmod.

Anyway, thank you for the advice ;)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zen0s:
Hello, I have a question. Both note 2 will be pretty much same spec other than data speed lte vs hspa+, so it really comes down to service quality for me. I'm currently with AT&T and service isn't too bad but the price is ridiculously expensive compare to T-Mobile. How is T-Mobile's service compare to AT&T? I really appreciate if I could get some feedbacks from both world users.

I know this isn't a question directly toward Note 2, but since this is the device I'm interested getting and this is note 2 forum I thought I would ask here. My apologies if this is wrong place to ask this.

Thanks for your time!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slimc84:
it all depends on ur location really....tmobile will let u "test drive" their service for 14 days and if u don't like it, you can simply return the device...i live in a weak tmobile area but bought the tmobile one because the prices were cheaper and you can make phone calls and text through wifi....
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rans0m00:
Best advice I could give is find someone that uses tmo in your area. If they are satisfied then try out tmobile. If the coverage is poor then I would stick with AT&T.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zen0s:
I wish I knew someone with t-mobile, they all have at&t due to I phone fever :(

Anyone in Maryland care to share your experience with t-mobile service? :p
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slimc84:
http://www.t-mobile.com/coverage/pcc.aspx and type in your information....this will give you an idea about their coverage...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zen0s:
Thanks, I did check the coverage through T-Mobile site but I actually wanted some feedback from actual customers. All carriers will say we have good coverage and etc but in real world it could be totally different, just for that reason I was asking XDA community :)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ekerbuddyeker:
At&t has LTE. TMOB DOESNT
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davaj:
You can also try it yourself for not too much $$$.

Get your phone sim unlocked, cellunlocker.net or whatever, probably $8 - $25.

Get a t-mobile sim and start a prepay account on the "Pay By The Day" plan, Unlimited Talk, Text & Web, $3.

This will only be interesting if your area has already gotten the tmo 1900 hspa+ rollout.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ekerbuddyeker:
That's what I did.

Device works on at&t but no LTE
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zen0s:
Doesn't seem like 1900 is refarmed around my way, only getting EDGE speed is truly painful. When I'm in city, it works great though, getting speed almost as fast as at&t's lte. I'm guessing if I switch to tmobile device I won't be running into edge speed issue? Maybe I will give that a go.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slimc84:
you have 14 days to test it out and if you don't like it, you can simply return it....that's one good thing about t-mo
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ngambek2003:
What kind of speed (downloand and upload) are you getting on the AT&T network using the TMO note 2?

There are many people here who would travel to different cities, states, countries...

And not everyone knows about everything!

Yes, there's Google, you can search, check reviews...

But wouldn't it be better if we could have some 1st hand information here?

So that someone traveling somewhere new doesn't get harassed unnecessarily...

Also, we could have posts describing the specialties of your region/zone...

Anything social, political, cultural facts...

This could help a lot of people when need be...

If there's anything wrong in it, mods feel free to close the thread... but i just hope we could help each other with a lot many things this way...

The UK is the armpit of Europe. If you come here you will get ripped off by everybody, not just taxi drivers. The beaches don't have sand..or sun for that matter. We specialize in going out on weekends playing catch the STD and throwing up on pavements.

Most of the population think Eastenders is the height of cultural entertainment and our politicians take it in turns every few years to see how hard they can screw the working man over.

I'd talk about my City...

Kolkata (earlier Calcutta) is an old Indian Capital City ( Now the Capital Is New Delhi)...

When the British ruled India, calcutta was their capital... So there are some pretty old British monuments, architecture etc...

It is a lazy city... The average summer temperature has been on the rise, it goes to a max of about 45 degree Celsius...

A drop in temperature below 20 degrees is supposedly winter time here!

We have great rains in July-August that floods a few regions...

The population of the city including its suburbs is about 15million! Wherever you go, you'd see people people people!!

There are some nice places to visit, i'll try getting some pics sometime later...

People in general are nice, but you see, there are every kind of people everywhere...

Politically, the communist party was in power from the 70's till a year and a half back...

It's an old, lazy life-style city, will glimpses of sparks during the festive season!

Will post some pics of the festivity that went on last week... it's majestically beautiful :)
