[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Averix:
I wiped my phone with the "official" K1 JellyBean release. Eveything has been behaving wonderfully, but today I plugged my phone in to a computer and the USB makes the charging "doink" connection sound, but no options appear. When I first installed it, the phone would mount a driver disk thing and then let me switch to MTP. Suddenly, this option is gone. I've tried rebooting, changing cables, changing ports, three different Macs and one PC. Even ADB debugging mode doesn't work. It's like it doesn't see the data portion of the USB connection anymore. I thought it might be due to an Exchange server policy, but I deleted that account and am still having the problem.

Anyone else run into this? Any ideas on how to fix it without wiping again?

I've done some searching, but no one seems to have the same issue on here. Based on this link, I'm not the only person seeing this problem though.

UPDATE: Not sure what caused the problem, but got it working again. After deleting the Exchange accounts with the security policy (not sure if that was needed or not), I rebooted into recovery and wiped the cache partition. Upon reboot, it would do the data/installer/ADB connection via USB just fine again.

I have seen this a few times with Jelly Bean (even on a T-Mobile Galaxy S III which has the official JB OTA). A simple battery pull usually fixes the issue.

Is this popup browser should shows in the app draw? I flashed the apk but I don't see anything in the appdraw. Permission is rw, rw, r..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] titaneds73:
this isnt flashed ,you need a root explorer to move the apk to system/app then fix perms to rw-r--r-- then reboot,and no it does not show up in your app drawer after installed,it shows up when your on your browser it will give you a choice of browers to use and pop up should be one of the choices.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cnlson:
if you search all forums you can find "invoker" apps otherwise it will only appear when you get the choice to launch a browser

like so

here is what it looks like

and here is a flashable that gives you small medium and header only which i haven't tried yet but am going to flash in a second
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cell128:
I think that these "leaked" ROMs are actually seeded by the carriers sometimes to get us to find and report bugs for free for them instead of having a handful of coders and developers they have thousands of testers here for free. Anyone agree with me? I don't see any struggle from Samsung or verizon to take this down. Whatever it is KEEP EM COMING :D

J1 and K1 keeps losing 4G LTE

Hi all,

I flashed J1 and later K1 to my previously stock S3 and now LTE keeps going up and down. Especially when I turn on Wifi hotspot.

It doesn't try to connect to 3G, it just shows no 4GLTE light at the top.

Is anyone else having problems with LTE going up and down?

Would this be a problem with the radios or with the kernel or RPM? I can try flashing a bunch of different combinations if I know what to try.

I have already tried flashing the VRLHE radios and I have the same issue.

BTW, I'm not sure if anyone knows this already but there is no need to root your s3 to use the Verizon wifi hotspot software for free. Just download widgetsoid and create a widget that toggles the hotspot. It will turn on wifi hotspot with the Verizon app without first authenticating. I've been using this from day one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cnlson:
no, 4g is solid for me. if you've flashed radios back then it likely isn't that. in that past i've seen that with my droid charge and sgs3 when they were working on expanding the 4g in my area.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cakewipe:
After some testing, it looks like the 4G ONLY drops when I turn on wifi hotspot. Will someone confirm that they can use wifi hotspot for a few minutes without problems? Mine usually starts dropping after about 5 minutes of wifi tethering with my laptop then it won't stay up for longer than 30 seconds at a time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vetteguy112233:
I just wanted to report my experience so far with this guide/rom....ALMOST PERFECT!!!

Battery life is unbelievable! I came from the Synergy rom and by about noon I was at 50% battery life and by about 7pm I would have to plug it in, but now it's 80% by noon and 50% by 7-8pm. I use my phone for a lot of videos, pictures, talking (yes they still make phone calls) and games all day long, so I've been extremely impressed with this rom.

The annoying wifi connectivity warning is gone without having to do *#0011# all the time. To many PROS to list so I'll focus on the few cons.

Cons:

I did have one time where I opened my email via the app, it loaded 3 new messages and next thing I knew they were gone. Luckily I was able to see that all 3 weren't important, but I have no clue why they disappeared. I did not delete them from the server or anything like that. It's only happened once, so I'm not to concerned.

This may not be something that can be fixed, but being able to take pictures while on a call would be a nice feature. I could do this on my Fascinate and miss that function.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] blueblur:
2- to fix the maps issue, turn off all location services (Vzw location services, standalone GPS service and google location services - specifically the last one)

I turned off all of these and set up a short cut on my main screen to take me directly to the location services. Turning off these settings and only turning them on when I needed them improved battery life immensely.

You can also use a program like Tasker to turn on GPS when you run a specific application,

YMMV.

Hey hi I've recently got this s3 from Verizon and I am using it in india made it to work on cdma network here,I am on 4.0.4 version I wanted to have the stock jelly bean, so followed this post and flashed the Rom, everything went smooth but on booot up I am stuck at a screen where it says preparing handset for first time use and below it says activating

....and beyond that nothing happens....It can't activate bcos no verizon network here...no way to cancel the activation bcos their is no option also only way I can do it is by pulling out the battery so I I had nandbackup so did the save and I am back to ics....

Can anyone help me out how to skip the activation process or let me know any stock jelly bean Rom which does not have the activation process. On ics it's working fine....

I got in the SanDisk 64GB microSDXC card and went to use the fat32formatter program.

I select the microSDXC card in my PC's memory slot (which does support XD cards), then click on Delete Partition, and then Start.

It goes for a second, but then gives an error "Failed to determine the drive."

Hey folks i figured it out......:) what i did was when the phone was activating i pressed the power button and went into airplane mode and after a while the sim card activation failed and it showed two options turn off phone or use wifi only so i selected wifi only pressed the home button and it went to the home screen and after that i turned off the airplane mode and boom the phone is on android 4.1.1 stock jelly bean.....:)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vetteguy112233:
I would assume either your memory card reader doesn't support such a large card or you bought one of the many fake cards or there. Can you try a different card reader?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Dudenell:
After having major battery issues (went from 85% to the 33% overnight in power saving mode with gps and data off) went ahead and did a full wipe. Will see if I am still having problems with the music player and such.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bustanut666:
finally read all 43 pages.. and still can't decide on whether i want to flash this new rom... main concern is that i don't want it to take 6+ hours to fully charge the phone... is EVERYONE having this charging issue?? subscribed...

and THANKS for all your hard work "open1your1eyes0"
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droideris1:
it takes me about 2 hours from 15% to get to 100%... that is definitely not a common issue that should defer you from flashing this
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bustanut666:
cool.. i think i might have to try it.. are there any issues that you have with it??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droideris1:
occasionally, it will give me a pop up message saying 'switching to global mode' that i just cancel out of... You can hit 'ok' to it, but just make sure you switch back to CDMA/LTE right after. Not sure why it does it, but that is really my only grievance with this image. Its fast, it looks great, and it wasn't hard to re-root or unlock bootloader. I also modded my systemUI to have the blue color scheme and the wifi toggle. Looks amazing.

Can someone please upload the Stock VRBLK1 Factory Image with No Data Wipe to a mirror? Every single time I download it the MD5s wont match. I would greatly appreciate it. thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bustanut666:
is this touchwiz still having problems where when you rearrange icons in a folder and then restart of the phone, the order of the icons do not stay the way you just arranged them to??? can someone please test this...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ryno77:
Just created a folder quickly and rebooted.... Nothing changed for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bustanut666:
yes.. now try to arrange those icons in that folder and do a restart.. thats when it changes.. when creating a folder for the first time, it seems okay...but if you start moving those icons after.. thats when issues arise..

thanks for testing it..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ryno77:
I created a new folder, arranged apps, restarted, arranged apps and restarted again. Nothing changed. I've never heard of this problem though. Are you on stock ics? I can leave it running and try again in a couple hours but quick testing seems like everything stays the way it was set up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Averix:
It's fixed. That used to drive me nuts so I know it's fixed. :)

The folder creation is easier too. Not quite pure JB, but better than it was before.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bustanut666:
yes..its fixed..i just put the rom on and thats the first thing i tested... :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] FAUguy:
I think the issue is the wall charger went defective over a couple months of use.

The phone came with the F2 ROM, then had the update to G7 and then HE. It still charged OK under 3 hours.

But when using the J1 ROM for a few weeks, I noticed the charge times taking longer, up to 10 hours, and then not charging at all.

Then when I installed the new K1 ROM I noticed it doing the same thing. So I tried my LG charger and cable that came with an LG phone, and it charges the GS3 just fine. If I then change back to the Samsung charger, it has issues.

That's why I'm thinking the wall charger went bad.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bustanut666:
this ROM seems to be working great so far.. no issues i can tell as of yet except "DESKTOP VISUALIZER" program doesn't seem to be working after i restart the phone.. icons go back to stock... thats a shame...

is there anyway to remove the brightness controls in the notification?? and also remove the wifi notification??

i think i read somewhere in this 44 pages that SQLite Editor trick doesn't work in jelly bean????

thanks for all your help..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ryno77:
To remove the wifi notification until a reboot long press it, click app info then force stop.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vetteguy112233:
I have about 5 different chargers and one of them charges very slow, the others charge just fine.

I have been running VRBLJ1 for awhile with no issue, so I decided to go ahead and flash VRBLK1, after I flashed VRBLK1 i noticed that my phone says no service in areas where usually my phone would says extended network. If you look at VZW coverage map indeed it shows the area as part of there extended network, but seems that my phone will no longer connect to it. So. I flashed back to VRBLJ1 and the problem still exist. Can anyone help me figure out the problem or anyone reporting a similar issue?

I also had this problem after installing k1. And after I reinstalled j1. So what I did was Odin back to stock, did my updates and installed j1 again and everything is fine. It sucks starting over because it wipes everything. Please read everything when going back to stock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jwhite2005:
dang it, What post did you rely on to go back to stock.. I found this post section 5 Here
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cam1pbell:
That's the one. Good luck.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fonetik:
Thanks!

This procedure worked great. One note for anyone unfamiliar with Odin, flash everything using the PDA option.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thebriand:
I did that right after I flashed JB. The one tip still keeps popping up. It's only when I get a text while the screen is locked. The other tips turned off properly.

I ddecided to wipe the JB and let her have it like that. If she still complains, I'll revert. Maybe the wipe will clear up whatever the issue was
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tailsthecat3:
I've never seen this issue manifest itself, yet y'all have pages worth recorded of it. Have y'all deleted the help apk and its associated files? Jw
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thebriand:
I have not tried that. Maybe I will if the wipe doesn't clear it up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cam1pbell:
All you have to do with the help app is disable it and restart your phone. Then when you get a text the annoying help pop up wont pop up anymore.

Having a few problems, any answers/help would be appreciated.

1. When swyping into a google search box, my words are not auto spaced.

2. Now when I access my bookmarks and click my google bookmark, it gets stuck in a loading loop. At the bottom of the page where it lists your current location, it cycles between my current location and "Precise location unavailable" over and over and over unless I click the X in the address bar to stop it from loading.

3. Without changing launchers, is there a way of getting more icons on my home screen? On the Synergy rom I could get 5x4 icons (not including the standard bottom row), now I'm only able to get 4x4?

4. What about future OTA updates...Are they already blocked?

media server

So this seems to at some point have written a bad file and media server is sucking up battery

Has anyone else seen this? Seen a couple posts around on this and the full wipe doesn't do it

so I ended up doing a full wipe back on stock then following this thread and it's really sweet guys!

thanks again so much!

media server is only happening to some...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] KevTN:
One quick question. If I flash just the factory image and later want to root or unlock boot loader will I be able to? Also when the OTA comes out do I need to block it or will it be ok to accept?

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tpayne2345:
so I can just flash this to a brand new out of the box gs3 with 4.0.4 and it will be fine? rooted stock JB?

just want to make sure...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ryno77:
Yes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ryno77:
You would just follow the steps in the original post to root and flash custom recovery. I don't remember if the original post said anything about unlocking but it really doesn't matter. Your not stuck on this leak, if your concerned about anything before taking the ota just Odin back to an ics stock image and ride the ota's to what's current. Anything thing you do with the factory image provided here can be reversed....people seem concerned they'll be stuck on this leak when that's not the case. Sorry, I really didn't answer the question very well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] broadwayblues:
I've had tickets in with Verizon about this very issue, and had about 3 phones sent to me.

I also flashed this hoping it would help but nothing.

Verizon upgraded the tower I use at home, but that didn't help. I'm studying for finals and I rely on my hot spot for Internet access. This is really frustrating!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cam1pbell:
I use browser xscope pro and don't have any problems with bookmarks. As far as icons try nova launcher or widgetsoid.(playstore) Not real sure if it is what your looking for. From my experience OTA you will have to revert back to stock to get update. Don't know if I helped but good luck.

I went back to stock I535VZWALG1 using Odin, but the issue is still present and maybe worse now. If my phone is sleeping and it looses service it will not restore service till i turn the screen back on, and then it quickly restores service.

The attached screenshot is from this morning, I took phone off charger and put it in my pocket and walked down stairs to get in car, Car is in a garage and phone has always switched to Extended network. Half way to work I noticed my radio which is connected VIA Bluetooth says No Service, i pulled my phone out of pocket and pressed home button and it jumped to 4gLTE. I placed phone back down, it went to sleep, 5 min or so later, radio says no service again, 5 min later still says no service, i pressed home button on phone and it went to 3g.. In the screenshot you can see signal is red and doesn't change till I turn the screen on.

What in the heck is going on. The PRL is the same # as what it was when i got the phone, All the APN are still present from factory. Phone is back 100% stock..

I used Section 5 of this post to go back to stock

I will answer #3 at least. You have to use a different launcher. The Synergy rom has modified the launcher for their rom. So if you want stock for that, Synergy is the best place to get it.
