[Galaxy S III General] AX3DROID:
The Firmware reinstallation fails after 75%

Pls Help... I'm new to XDA but not to android and software reinstall. I have fixed a lot of devices with sotware problems except for Samsung. One day, when i gave root access to a font changer app to find more cool fonts than the defaults in the phone, it asked for a reboot. i rebooted but my phone was stuck on the screen whih shows SAMSUNG GALAXY S III GT-I93001!!! Since i understood i need to reinstall firmware, i googled up for the suite for samsung devices and found out this annoying piece of software, KIES... i downloaded and installed the kies software and clicked on tools, firware installation thingy. everything went fine and i typed in the model name and the sn. then i booted my s III to download mode and everything was going fine... until it reached 74% and then it shows "Software Update failed" and when i try to boot my phone, it shows that firmware update with kies something with a yellow triangle!!!!

I tried reinstalling with kies 5-6 times, then finally i gave up!!!!

Pls help!!!! :( :confused:

If i follow this guide,can i to be sure that my firmware will not have virus? Because i readed that virus may remain also after a hard reset, because he infect the firmware. Do this guide reinstall 100% of firmware, removing all tracks of old firmware?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] septimus1:
Hi there,

Is it possible to install windows 8 on Samsung galaxy II?

After trying Android for the past 3 months I can surly say that it is not such good OS.

It’s full of bugs and keeps crashes all the time.

If it is not possible to install windows 8 on it will it be possible to install Symbian instead…:D

Regards,

Sep

No.

You have got to be joking.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scarface1991:
At least it`s not possible now. If you want Windows 8, sell your device and buy a Windows Phone.

For me it`s the other way around, I think that Windows 8 is pretty ugly compared to Android. And Android doesn`t crash all the time, at least not on my device.

Remember they were giving the Sony Xperia S a Nexus treatment with the original (vanilla) Android experience?

Well I do, but it looks like others may have forgotten about it.

I haven't heard anything about this for months and I'm getting concerned. I really want vanilla Android on my Xperia S..!

The only logical thing to do is to ask if any of you knows anything about this. I'm afraid Google might've abandoned the Xperia S after all, as the LG Nexus 4 was announced without other manufacturers making a Nexus device.

So, anyone...? :silly:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] murat17:
You are right haven't heard of it since months. I don't thimk there is any news on it.

It is only a test. Unless you compile yourself, We won't have it from Google.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Hermantje:
What a coincidence, just today something new has been posted.

If I understood correctly, they now skip 4.1 to bring 4.2 to the customers later?

I don't really care, as long as I'll get 4.1+ soon :fingers-crossed:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
I think it won't be so soon, but thing changed today, really. That is good, actually.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] raazman:
So how does the Note 2 for T-Mobile look in terms of rom development. I'm thinking about getting a Note 2 but it seems like there isn't much activity for developing roms for this. What does the future look like for this device?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Geo411m:
IMO if you're looking for a phone with development you're better off getting a Nexus 4. I mean with don't even have source yet. It'll come but it won't be as fast or fierce as the N4 will be.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] raazman:
Well actually I'm deciding between the N4 and the Note 2. I currently have the Galaxy S2 and there are many roms for it, like CM and AOKP. I was just wondering if later down the road the Note 2 (T-Mobile variant) will see the same thing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] minhajmsd:
We already have source. There is a thread providing the link for it in the development forum.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] nightfox11:
For the love of macaroni and cheese...the phone isn't even a month old! How could you possibly asking for more roms...

sent from the monster Galaxy Note 2
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] raazman:
I'm not exactly asking for more roms right now. I just wanted to know its future. The international version is far more popular for obvious reasons, but I was just wondering of the outlook of the T-Mobile version a couple months from now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] rahilkalim:
I struggled with that for ages before deciding on going with the Note 2. What ultimately drew me towards the N2 was the removable battery and external storage. 16g just really isn't enough for the amount of photo's and other files I keep on my phone.

Another deciding factor for me was that my wife will be getting the n4.

The development will definitely get better with this phone over time. Same think happened with the s2 when it dropped. Only recently has there been a lot of activity on the phone and keep in mind this is a year after the phone was released. And most of those roms aren't bug free.

As much as I am a Flashaholic, the stock rom, minus the bloat, is pretty solid and inclusive of tons of features. I for 1 am happy with this phone even if PTMR3 is the only developer. Once he gets an actual phone, he puts out roms and updates constantly. I'm sure you've put a few of his roms on your s2. He is phenominal with TW Roms.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] VIIRU§:
What are u talking about yo we got source code
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] raazman:
I think I'll get both, play around with them and see which one I'll keep. I might even keep both, who knows.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Geo411m:
I wasn't aware the source dropped. When did that happen like today?

Anyway, don't get me wrong the Note 2 is an awesome device but I don't think people should buy it with development in mind. Just enjoy for what it is and eventually more roms will appear.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mike the inkman:
Did you wind up keeping the note 2? the development has turned out to be pretty great IMO. ptmr3 is tearing it up with touchwiz and aosp.:D

does cm10 work with nook color tweaks? i want to overclock cm10 to 1.3 ghz
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
No. It was written for an older kernel. And overclocking is not built into the rom yet anyway.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thejrcrafter2:
No, but...

You could use some other stuff like zram and io scheduler. Also change your CPU governer to either conservative or performance. Performance uses more battery. These can all be found in Settings>Performance. Makes it a lot faster.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rpcrazy:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enzephalon:
Hi folks!

Last week I updated my sgs3 via OTA from 4.0.4 to 4.1.1.

After this I rooted with CF.

Now I have three problems:

1.) Sometimes WiFi says thats connected and working, but noch data will transferred. I have to restart WiFi, and after this WiFi works fine for a while.

2.) Bluetooth connecting to my car-hifi with hands-free-set works sometimes, Butter suddenly it doesn't connect automatically to car-hifi. If I restart Bluetooth and tip on my car-hifi online list, all works fine.

3.) Alter root the phone has status "custom" and no OTA-updates are available anymore. I bought and tried TriangleAway, but this can't reset flash-counter or set status back to "original".

Is there someone out there who knows to fix problems? Are there other JB-users with same problems out there?

Best regards

Johannes

I don't have any problem in a standard wifi but when i try to connect to a public wifi I get full signal but don't have internet.

I supposed to open the browser and have the agreement page but don't have it.

I tried to install the chrome browser and still having the same problem.

You can see the screen shots of the galaxy and the HOX.

Check the connection details on your friends S2 and make sure they are the same, also the public wifi might require you the owner of allowing you to access it(i don't know how it works, but at some cafes once I ask the waiter for internet access, it starts working immediately without password or anything)

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] badgerpapa:
I am administering a small fleet of GS3s for my company. Accounting has decided that they will not pay for MMS messages and that they should be blocked. Bell has said that they can block MMS and SMS per user, but not MMS only.

The best way I know to block them on the device is to mangle the MMS settings in the APN but Bell has locked the APN. I cannot edit theirs and if I create a new APN, it gets deleted on reboot. We are using Blackberry Mobile Fusion as MDM and it has no option for MMS. If it was just my phone, I'd root it and install a custom ROM, but I can't very well do that for the CTO.

Does anyone know of a setting or app that I can use to do this?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jethro650:
There are tons of blockers on the play store, the few I just checked all were password protected. Most are paid but some are free. I didn't see just an MMS blocker most had call block, SMS block and MMS block, some needed root and some never said. Do a search there for MMS block and you may be able to find what you need. Sorry can't be more help.

i have replaced the connector but it got ruined again, i'm not sure if the solder is the reason or maybe the cheap connector from ebay.

if someone can recommend a good ebay item of usb connector that i should buy, please share

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] PaulN543:
They should do, I've ought one in there before. I can't find a link on their site, but they should sell them. If you can't find them, I have an Ebay link which looks like they're nice and strong, aslong as you have a strong solder connection.

Ebay link :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] orenzah:
I've already replaced the last connector, and I think it will be the last time, because the solder paths got ruined and I think if I will try again to replace I will have galaxy without the option to charge and I don't talk about the data transfer options.

P.S.

the connector link is not for i9000....

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] seleu:
i guess i'm gonna forget about that update for know, so i have another question, and i hope someone could help me..as i have an stock rom, android 4.0.4, with stock kernel, compilation .431, no root, no unlocked bootloader, no nothing actually xD so my question is, my phone with ICS is a little slow, mostly on games, and i would like to know is what i need to do to solve that? i read on other threads that flashing a different kernel can fix that, it's that true? and besides, can i flash an custom kernel having an stock rom? how can i do that? i guess i need root on my phone first, i can do that, but i need to unlock the bootloader? that i don't want to do it :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] XxStatiX:
a stands for america!

And i is the international version!

That's what ive heard!

Idk what the differences are though :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Saqib Nazm:
Yes custom rom/kernel will make ur phone smooth in every way. But for trying custom kernel u need boot loader unlocked.But u can try custom rom without unlocking boot loader if u have rooted :good:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] seleu:
Thanks! But i was talking about having stock rom with custom kernel, or do i need both for make it work better?..besides, the reason i haven't rooted my phone and unlocked the bootloader is becauses is to hard! XD i remember when i used to have a motorola milestone, you just need to install the app universal androot, or use superone click, and that's it, you have your phone rooted, but know it's to difficult, i have a galaxy nexus too, i recently root that one, and it wasn't easy either :o but i did it, but with this one, the xperia mini, it looks like having root and unlock the bootloader it's no for everyone :o
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] XxStatiX:
After rooting,when I'm on cyanogenmod9 on ics,I can overclock to 1.6 ghz too while gaming.no lag in using phone too.though my bootloader is unlocked. I would suggest you to root for a better experience!

Cheers.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Saqib Nazm:
U must unlock bootloader to use custom kernel even u use with stock rom.just unlock ur bootloader its not that tough.the easiest way to root after that just flash a custom kernel which is pre-rooted( like rage kernel & many) via flashtool.u will have root access :cool:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] seleu:
Umm, so all i need to do is unlock the bootloader? Well i guess i can give it a try, thanks! :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Kir3:
To flash custom kernel you need unlocked bootloader, but for flashing custom ROM you need root and/or unlocked bootloader. Mostly of the ROMs work on locked bootloader too but if you want to play games so much you should Install Pure AOSP/AOKP based ROM and if you want best experience with games you should also install custom kernel.

err .. since its related to xperia ray I thought of dropping it here .. I'm kinda new here .. sorry if this isn't right but wanted help :(

Guys , I was on Jelly Sandwich with sirikay's kernel. I had some speed problems with wifi. So I thought of flashing stock ICS Rom ST18i_4.1.B.0.587_Kernel.ftf using uniflash.exe and did it. After flashing it didnt restart. So I clicked the power button to restart manually but just got a vibration sound and nothing else .. just the blank screen. So I searched for stuff about unbricking my device since I thought it's bricked. I downloaded this package "FlashTool_0.2.9.1_FOTAUnbrick.exe" and started flashing the firmwares. So I held down my volumedown button and connected it to the usb port. It says error and that I have to select usb debugging mode and connect again but I can't even start my mobile.

Plz help .. :( Thanks in Advance

Can you get into Fastboot? Hold volume UP and plug in usb to pc, if a blue led appears on you ray fastboot works. Then you can flash a new kernel with fastboot and a new rom.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sheppii:
What about SEUS (or PC Companion), have you tried them? You have original kernel, it could work.

Definitely try what thomas1991_12 wrote.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ravi4theja:
Very much thank you thomas for giving me the hope because the blue led thing worked. But I dont know what to do after that. Can you please guide me a bit . Thanks again :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] thomas1991_12:
Yes youll need fastboot.exe (ideally you want to download the android sdk). I included fastboot.exe in the attachement.

Copy fastboot.exe to your C:\ drive for example, so it looks like C:\fastboot.exe

You then need to open a command prompt (Start -> type CMD).

Type: CD C:/

Now type: fastboot devices

It should then show a questionmark or something. Go ahead and download a kernel (i assume you know what i mean). Then flash it using this command: fastboot flash boot KERNELNAME.img (where KERNELNAME.img is the name of the kernel)

If you want, you can download a rom, open it with winrar or something and extract the Boot.img (this is the kernel), the command would then be: fastboot flash boot boot.img

Then type: fastboot reboot

You should then be able to reboot into recovery (press volume down a couple of times on reboot). There you can flash a rom.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sheppii:
Or you can try Flashtool, if you dont know how to work with command-line. It is easier
