My gaming/work area...

Quad core gaming PC build last month, next to my quad core phone....life is good!!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Xiaoazn:
Hi,

I just bought a Pebble Blue S3 from craigslist without checking it out properly. (I know, shame on me). The phone is in physically mint condition, the water damage tab is not red and there are no signs of dropping.

The phone's screen does NOT turn on. When I hold the power button to have it load up normally, I can hear the T-mobile jingle and then a constant blue indicator would stay on the top left corner.

I have tried flashing it back to stock through download mode (Power, volume down, and home --> volume up mode) and it seems to make no difference to the screen's issue.

Flashing it back to stock might have made it worse because I can't even access the phone's internal memory through USB anymore.

Any help towards fixing my screen would be great!

Thanks.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] lorddart:
So out of curiosity how much did you pay for a phone that you did not check to see if it turned on?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Xiaoazn:
I paid $250 for it, came with original box and accessories. I thought it was too good to be true, and it seems that way. At worse I can probably break even and sell it as-is.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Android_Monsters:
Is the battery low?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
What does windows report it as in device manager?

If you can get to download mode it may not be hard bricked.

You could flash twrp recovery with idin, then boot recovery and try flashing something from thrre.

Also twrp has a builtin file manager so you can try to see if you can find sny problems that way. (Look for logfiles)

Are you sure its an SGH-T999?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Xiaoazn:
I was able to access download mode by clicking around in the dark.

Positive it is a SGH-T999, before I flashed the stock PDA in ODIN, Windows Device manager would list that. How do I flash TWRP? Do I need the screen to do it?

Oh the battery is fully charged.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] elesbb:
Here is the thread for TWRP. But you get to download mode by starting with the device completely powered off, then pressing the volume down, home and power button at the same time until it powers on. I dont understand what you meant by "I was able to access download mode by clicking around in the dark"
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Button mashing I guess?

And just fyi, to boot recovery from power off

Hold volume up, home and power. When you see blue text flash on top of the screen release.

Also, flashing recovery in Odin will trip the flash counter. Prob doesn't matter considering the situation, but just so you know.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] nicky9door:
If you can get the phone in download mode, odin back to stock. Then boot into recovery using power +home + vol up and do a factory reset. This step is important. I borked my phone with a bad jb install and using odin on its own doesnt completely reset the phone. Using the factory reset fixed this in my situation
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Teo032:
Send it to Samsung and cross your fingers?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Xiaoazn:
By saying I'm able to access recovery mode, I got in by basically doing the sequence of buttons, without seeing any display on the screen. I know it is in download mode because it reads on ODIN.

No matter what I click or what mode it is in, the screen is still completely off. Sorry for the confusion.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] elesbb:
Well that's a different story :P lol. Seems like a hardware fault. If you feel comfortable, take it apart and check all connections. And use a very bright light to look for any cracks on the LCD (not the digitizer) but the underlying LCD.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Xiaoazn:
Ugh, I guess it might come down to that. If anyone else have any more tips before I go a head and check the connections, please do tell!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] md1008:
Or you can see if Samsung can repair it under warranty
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Is there no way you can contact the seller? Woulda been the first thing I did!

You may not resolve anything but you could at least try to find out what they did to break it in the first place...then have some fun and blow off some steam till they hang up on you!

Just a thought. :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Xiaoazn:
That was the first thing I tried. Seller is dodging my calls / not replying to my texts -.-.. Shady guy.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mike102871:
Just contact samsung and send it for repair. Still uder warranty.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] elesbb:
I tried that with my s2. Warranty only applies to original buyer :\
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] adslee:
I've had Samsung service my SGS1 that I bought off Kijiji while it was still within its one-year warranty. It doesn't just apply to the original owner, just call them and tell them it was a gift, they'll ask for the phone's IMEI, and then they'll be able to tell if it is still within its warranty period.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Xiaoazn:
Thanks for the info, I'll give it a shot!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Xiaoazn:
Just an update, I managed to get a new phone by exchanging it at the T-Mobile store!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mamumami:
how did you do that when you brought it from craigslist
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] chrisram88:
Wow lucky you!

WhatsTab - WhatsApp installer for tablets​

by @Complex360 (cyr0s on XDA-Developers)​

*/

Description:

Since the release of the Nexus 7, many threads on XDA have been created offering options for getting WhatsApp to work. Some found sucess editing the apk permissions, some chose to restore from a TitaniumBackup backup. None of these worked for me, so instead, I wrote this.

This tool effectively transplants the data from your existing WhatsApp installation (on your mobile) onto your tablet. It extracts the phone and account data and transfers it onto the device. The program, when executed, will do the following:

1. Wait for you to connect your mobile

2. Reboot into recovery

3. Extract account and phone data

4. Wait for you to disconnect your mobile and connect your tablet

5. Reboot into recovery

6. Inject account and phone data

After, WhatsApp should work on your tablet! No TitaniumBackup, no AppGuard modifications. At risk of being sued by Apple "it just works".

Changelog:

V1.2 - Fixed accidental transfer of adb
V1.1 - Fixed WhatsApp installation code
V1.0 - Initial release

Alas, it is here that I must shake my digital, Github markdown formatted donation box.

If this has worked where the needlessly convoluted alternatives didn't, please consider donating to me via Paypal:

Feeling generous?

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Jurrvoss:
Am I correct when I say you only get a whatsapp message on 1 off your devices? Not both?!
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] cyr0s:
Sadly, yes.

WhatsApp sends messages to the device last registered as online. This means that the device which WhatsApp was last loaded on is the one that will receive the messages. Unfortunately this is out of my control.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] wong.izzat:
Hi cyr0s. Good starts. I will give it a test once I had settled some work issues.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Jurrvoss:
Don't worry though , it's not of a problem. Since you can still choose on which device you desire to whatsapp on. (with the same number)

Any windows installer too? Or just linux only.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] jarayn:
Whatsapp installer! ...yay :)

Linux ... :(
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] colonia27:
Morning,

did all the steps according to the installer. But I don't see any whatsapp in my app drawer.

All I now have is a WhatsApp folder plus 'Media' and 'Profile Pictures' subfolders in on my sd card
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] cyr0s:
Did you select "yes when the installer asked you if you wanted to install WhatsApp? If you don't have WhatsApp installed the installer will do it for you, but you have to say yes.

If you're willing to test (I sold my Nexus 7 in anticipation for Nexus 10) I'm willing to write one
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] colonia27:
Thanks for hte quick reply.

It asks me if I already have WhatsApp installed. Well, I said 'yes' of course. (installed on the phone ofc)

attached is the console log.

No idea why it prints the adb help during the process though :p
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] benzD:
So you are now able to on booth tablet and phone?

Gesendet von meinem Nexus 7 mit Tapatalk 2
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] cyr0s:
Ah, I derped in writing this, I'll patch it now :)

It seems to patch because PhoneRegister.xml doesn't exist on your device, which it has to for WhatsApp to work on your device

You can run WhatsApp on your tablet, yes.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Jurrvoss:
I'm willing to test it for you sure !
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] cyr0s:
Version 1.1 released:

-Fixed WhatsApp installation code​

Great! I'll write it today/tomorrow then
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Sultan.Alkhuzaie:
Can you make one for windows
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Jurrvoss:
If you would just read , he already is writing one for us to test !
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] colonia27:
Everything seems to be working now. Nice job, thx :)

Btw: DL link in #1 says hhttps://......

EDIT: The adb binary is also copied to /data/data/com.whatsapp/files/

I don't think this is needed :p
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] cyr0s:
Ah! I see what happened here:

I took adb detection code from one of my previous tools (n7root) which used ./files/ for bundled adb. It pulls the ./files/ folder when patching account, I'll push a fix, thanks :)

Version 1.2 released:

- Fixed accidental transfer of adb​
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] ace9988:
This is great and long overdue (i'm still struggling with the titanium back up method)

As a suggestion I was wondering if you could have a go with how tablet talk does it's messaging service. It syncs your messages from your phone over wifi/bt and then you can reply back using the same interface. As an idea it's great to do something like that whatsapp, possible or not? I don't know...I'm not a dev or even 1% of one. Food for thought :)
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] skedone:
Have to ask here but what is wrong with mitalk it works with tablet native and even has WiFi calling and push to talk and also is free and available on all devices
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] pdubcramp:
I've asked the developer of Tablet Talk this question and basically it's impossible because WhatsApp isn't open source. It's unfortunate that they chose not to support tablets or create a Web interface because it's the best messaging platform I'm aware of. GroupMe is improving but doesn't have the same user base.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Jurrvoss:
How is that windows program going along?

Any progress?!
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Admeisterz:
Hello mate,

If you want some help with writing up the windows version ive got spare time i could help out if you want?

If i could speed up the process i would be happy too...

I myself use the titanium back up way which i find easy but just let me know...

Thanks
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] ace9988:
Time to start a revolution on twitter.....either they do it or let us
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] cyr0s:
Sorry for the late response.

Yes, that'd be very helpful if you're able to start on a windows version. I am sadly unable to test a lot of Windows tools (I use Linux for Android stuff as to avoid driver hassle) and my laptop that I dev on has a broken screen.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Admeisterz:
Ok mate ill have a go and see what I can sort out!!

Ive read through your git so ill start tonight :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Admeisterz:
Ok so ive pretty much done it - Just going through testing stages at the moment..

come across a couple of problems so just trying to iron them out. Will send you it when done

Cheers
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] rage77:
Go on...
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Admeisterz:
Edit: OK here it is... I did try a couple of things and had a few problems but please go ahead and try and I'll keep working on it. Let me know if something goes wrong please?

Whatstab - Windows Version (beta)
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] #define:
Is this limited to 3G version??
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Admeisterz:
no should really work for both... Just uses files that would generally be in an android device
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Shiznit78:
Ok, all done like i was supposed to, and WA starts up, i get, welcome to WA..

Than ik push on the go on button, i get the message " Tablets are not supported atm" ....

Any ideas ?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Admeisterz:
Yeah I don't think that worked properly in that case. Will have to have a look. Anyone else downloaded could let me know aswell pls?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Shiznit78:
And now ? What's your plan ?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] NikolForAll:
I succeed to install v. 2.8.9070 three days ago. But with a clean installation (without appsecure), no root and a "virgin" mobile number.

Good luck to everybody :)
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Admeisterz:
Have you tried to completely wipe everything from the Nexus and try again, i find with old files anywhere it seems to not work. Check and get rid of all the data files + delete the SD card contents.

If this doesnt work then maybe just try copying the whole of the whatsapp files over rather than just the select few that are (well i thought) needed.

Did you use this tool for all parts of the install? - Linux or Windows aswell?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] NikolForAll:
No, actually I din't use this tool, as I haven't rooted the nexus yet. I've downloaded the above mentioned version from internet and installed it on the nexus. When asking for the mobile number I used my other mobile number (never used before for register a whatsapp on it!). I received the sms verification code on the phone and enter it in the nexus. Everything's fine working, sending and receiving messages without any problem. Same method I used to register viber. In case the sms verification fails (or you are using landline fixed number), you ask for a phone call and write down the verification. In the posts I've read on internet was written to use appsecure (or appguard - i don't remember the name, sorry), but when trying to start whatsapp after securing it, shows a pop up, that the application is modified and i need to download the latest version from the market.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aSystemOverload:
Hi, my attempt to upgrade my Defy to CM10 failed (constant loop-booting). I've tried to wipe and reload CM7.1, but now it won't go past the initial CM logo (doesn't reboot, just stays there). When I do a factory reset, I get 'Error Mounting /Data'.

Can anyone assist? please
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aSystemOverload:
Right, well I've reflashed the SBF and it still loops, just now it's the Motorola 'M' that is in a constant reboot. I don't have a clue what to try next, HELP!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aSystemOverload:
Well after flashing my defy three times it finally came back to me. Just re-rooted it and getting ready to put 7.1 back on it. Would appreciate any feedback as to what might have gone wrong :)
[GT540 Optimus General] Rusan0052:
hi i am looking for a rom to 900 mhz and which would you recommend? 'm not German and english use google translate
[GT540 Optimus General] josewds:
The phone will not stable at Near and Over 800 MHz. It all depended on the status of your phone.
[GT540 Optimus General] -Grift-:
I think all ROMs can it depends on your CPU Chip. Mine used to be able to go to 900
[GT540 Optimus General] josewds:
I had tried, by mistakes of myself, set it to 1000 MHz under AOSP v1.4. And the phone forced close and truned to bootloops forever. :(

And after that found the setting file of AOSP v1.4 is in:

/data/data/com.androd.settings/shared_perfs/com.androd.settings_preferences.xml
[GT540 Optimus General] -Grift-:
I think 1Ghz is impossible
[GT540 Optimus General] Rusan0052:
it need not be 900mhz I once had a rom with 852 mhz and has properly and do not know how it is
[GT540 Optimus General] Rusan0052:
I swiftdroid it and max is 852 mhz and fast
[GT540 Optimus General] blackster135:
i dont think that its a good idea

on my old gt540 i accidentally overclocked it near to 1 ghz and get bootloops forever.. :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] schale01:
I'm trying to disable the startup and shutdown sounds. Anyone know the best way to do this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] bhint15:
Unrooted - put your device on silent or vibrate before shutting down.

Rooted - make system writable and edit file in system/volume.db I believe with sql editor and changed all boot labeled sounds to 0 values

Also same method to disable camera sounds btw
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] schale01:
Perfect. I edited the volume.db file in system/etc as you suggested. I used sql editor by speed software. I changed the 'boot sound' record under situationvolume to 0. Rebooted to take effect. After reboot no startup or shutdown sounds. Thank you.

Shutter sounds records were present as well but I already enabled the toggle option in feature.xml and turned off forced shutter in buildprop edit. So I just left them alone.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] lwkkazz:
I'm having a bug on the the touchscreen of my Mini pro, i have this problem only in stock or stock-based roms, anyone have a fix for that or something??
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] rohit25:
the touchscreen becomes unresponsive when you turn on the phone from sleep.....right..... happens with me 2.....

UPDATE.... turns out its a problem in my screen... its getting lose from the right lower side and hence doesn't register my touches the first time.....
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Saqib Nazm:
Only with stock based rom?Other roms like aokp,aosp,cm doesn't trouble?Please be elaborate
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] lwkkazz:
Sorry, and, yes, only in stock based or stock roms, other roms i don't have any problem, looks like someone's touching my screen, i can't use some games, and connect my phone to the PC, can you help me? :(
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jl93sundance:
I currently have the incipio silicrylic case for my s3, but I kinda like the UAG case for it now and i'm thinking about buying one and switching, anybody have one?, do they make the phone bulky?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] got556:
There is a whole long thread on the uag cases. I have a rust one on my white s3 and have had it for a few months now. Perfect fitment and adds minimal bulk. Edges are a bit sharp at first and the cases feels a bit slippery when u first get it but after 2 or so months I wouldn't give this case up. Hated the OB defender and commuter for this phone.

I think you'll be happy with the uag.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Pneumatic:
I have had a lot of cases the UAG is by far the best. Just look through the enormous thread about them and you will see very few people (if any) who get one and regret it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kench33:
I LOVE IT!!! Best case yet, provides the protection without an enormous amount of bulk!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] atmospher1c:
i have seven different cases that i shuffle through, but the UAG gets the most attention from me!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Five0nIt:
Anyone know of a holster that works with a uag case?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] willywill:
This is a perfect example of what the case will feel like, i got three week with the case and dont think its coming off until i get a new phone. The power button is not as clicky as the volume button but there no need to press it hard and this case will torture your pinky finger, the micro usb port is very sharp just try not to lap the phone on your pinky finger
[Galaxy S III Accessories] lee-T:
I have the aviator UAG case and I'm just using it until my draco bumper comes, I don't drop my phone so I really don't need the case. It's a great case though, the buttons are so responsive compared to the other cases.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] maniac2k:
Case is not bulky. It is slippery. It does have sharp edges. Power and volume buttons are perfect. It looks awesome. I hate how sharp and slippery it is!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] afmracer6:
i have the white stormtrooper one. its a little slick for me. im gonna sell it.

[HTC One X] srdjanLeo:
Hi guys, I bought an new HTC One X, locked to Telenor Serbia a month ago. I bought from some Online services code to unlock, same code from two different sites (American and European) and my phone won't accept it. It says INCORRECT PASSWORD. I checked my IMEI twice as the code, and they are good. I heard something about European Stock roms, that they don't allow unlocking. Anyone has any information? Hope I can resolve this issue that driving me crazy last few days :)
[HTC One X] jaknica:
same problem, an solution

Hello Srdjan,

did you find solution for unlocking your HTC One X? If you did can you please post it. Thanks, Milos
[HTC One X] Shan89:
They do accept unlock codes, at least mine did, my phone came from h3g Austria, tho i never purchased the code online, went to the phone shop and got it unlocked ... and i'm quiet sure the guy who did it for me purchased the code online. - pozz =)
[HTC One X] srdjanLeo:
Nope, still nothing. i have to use Telenor network
[HTC One X] srdjanLeo:
This is knows issue with VIP Serbia and Telenor networks... Others works as they should, unlocking with no problems.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Joe333x:
I know i cant wait to have stock android on my note 2. How do others feel?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kevin36:
I feel the same way i which aocp would be ported or paranoid or miui i am desperate i check everyday
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Joe333x:
Yeah im sick of looking in task manager and seeing all the crap running even after i removed bloatware. Mfgs really screw up the android experience. Cant wait for a stock android based rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] awrnsmn:
I personally like all the extras that touch wiz has added on THIS phone. Normally I would run pure stock but I'm happy with this phone out of the box. It helps that everything I don't need or use I can go in and disable and not worry about it running or using ram. I'm personally stock, not rooted and content. First phone ever that I didn't feel the need to root. Just my opinion.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mysticfrog:
Actually i feel the same way you do bro.. first phone that I've had for 2 weeks now and it hasn't been rooted yet... i just like the way the phone is.. it pretty much has everything i need are want right now...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] darkierawr:
I'm having a hard time waiting for Paranoid.

This phone feels incomplete without it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] teshxx:
I love aosp and aokp, but in Galaxy Nexus. Why would i use that when i loose all functionality of S-pen? When i don't have true multitasking?
