[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erkkiperis:
Cosmic Blue: I've read and partially followed that tutorial, yes, but it's in no way helpful with this problem as the replacement part used in the tutorial has a new USB-board on it already and thus the guy doesn't even remove the USB-board at any point.

theunderling: Thanks for the tip, though I already watched that video as well - very helpful and clear indeed! Regardless, it doesn't help with the golden bar thing as the replacement part used in the video already has the golden bar on it. I also went through all the .pdf's in my service manual download, can't find a mention of the golden bar. Is it in there? If it is, where exactly?

I mean, what I really need to know here is if the golden bar is needed (99% sure the answer to this is yes) and how to move it from the old part to the new one that's missing the bar since I'm afraid to just go poking around and possibly break my friends phone. Also, the small cable that's sticking out - in the video it seems that the board is just installed on top of it, leaving it pressed against something that after examining the old part seems like a small strip of silver-color metal right next to the golden bar. This strip is also missing from the replacement part which leads me to think it's an extension of the golden bar. Anyone have any experience with this particular bit of the hardware?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erkkiperis:
Anyone?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cosmic Blue:
You should call the person who sold it to you. He may have given you a defective board by mistake. I have checked the internet and all videos I have seen have the gold bar as part the screen assembly.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erkkiperis:
Alright, will do and will report here after the issue is solved in case someone else will find the information useful.

Thanks!

Edited years later as I shamefully forgot to report back... Yeap, got a new board and it worked just fine. That was the culprit.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] SwimDrewid:
Placed my order for the SGSiii (and this nifty skin -- lends itself to the blue phone :D). Should be here before Thanksgiving.

Real question is what I'll flash first: PA (currently on my epic), AOKP (assuming it's based on 4.2 at the time), Baked Blackbean, Jellybomb or Serenity...

Decisions, decisions, decisions.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Laynee1:
So as the title says : do you prefer using Stock Browser or Chrome , and why ?

Thanks folx :)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HJADR:
Stock, why pop-up
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Randles:
I like the stock one so far
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chrissssssss:
I really like lots of things about Chrome and much prefer the way it handles tabs over the stock browser - it's so slow changing between tabs on the built in one - but the performance of the stock is just so much better that I can't use Chrome. Is it the same for everyone? Scrolling in Chrome is just so stutter and choppy, especially noticeable when going slowly.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jujuburi:
Stock- Of course. Always, browsing heavy sites, reading and all.

Chrome- Never (other than when I want to show off that pesky tab sliding view, but I don't show off)

Opera- For downloading.

Period.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] padlad:
Don't forget that flash works with the stock browser but not Chrome, also now I have adjusted Framework, the stock browser defaults to desktop view instead of having to tick that damn box everytime you open a new tab! ;)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJCacher:
Well, like most others, I've obviously noticed the better speed in the stock browser, so it's always a temptation.

However, apparently unlike most of the others who've replied, I spend 90% of my browsing time in Chrome, due to the exceptionally useful (for me) integration between Chrome on my (two) Android devices (Nexus 7 tablet, Galaxy Note 2 smartphone) and my two laptops. The fact that my bookmarks are kept in perfect, almost instant synchronization between these devices, as well as the extremely useful feature to open any tab on one device instantly on another one, are just too useful to pass up. If I run into a web page that is just too unresponsive to use in Chrome, I will sometimes go ahead an open in in the stock browser. I wish there was an add-in or something in Chrome to allow you to choose another browser to open the current page in.

Anyway, now that Google is shipping Chrome as the default browser on JB, I'm hopeful that they will continue to improve its rendering speed and responsiveness.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Laynee1:
Only thing i hate about stock browser is slow tab management.. and im a heavy tab user.. thats the only thing that irritates me with stock browser...

Handwritten from my Note 2
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] owl74:
Chrome here because I can sync with all my desktop bookmarks.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chinaa:
stock, used to it and flash support :)

I prefer chromes interface but rarely use
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarthPiggie:
My favorite browser is the stock AOSP browser. I really wish we could have that browser on stock firmware.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicedino:
Prefer stock on my phone, but only use crome on pc.

Because stock support flash.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FizzyBum:
Just cause i have to be different.....Id pick Dolphin over both. Really good gesture control
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jamolah:
I always try Chrome but I always revert back to the stock browser. Because of flash support and the pop-up feature. I hate the fact that flash is not supported in chrome. I think it should be until HTML5 really does replace flash. in the meantime stock broswer for the win.

Although I do prefer the way Chrome handles tabs.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EdgaBimbam:
only stock, why?

full screen

flash

a lot of smoother

also can import bookmarks from pc chrome (syncing gmail acc internet bookmarks)

Latest dolphin is great but it diesnt support flash. Stock is my daily browser
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] padlad:
The user agent string for the stock browser is contained in framework-res.apk, without changing it the stock browser defaults to mobile site view. Changing the string will default to desktop view without having to tick the 'request desktop' box every time, which is goddam annoying!

sorry guys..just saw this in the other tmo thread:

"Micro sim cards are free at T-Mobile store or 99¢ if you want it mailed to you. "

thank you!!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sn0warmy:
Yep. I purchased an iPhone 5 off contract (don't worry I hated it and returned it within 5 days) and went into a T-Mobile store and they gave me a micro SIM on the spot, free of charge.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pointNumberOne:
T-Mobile website is currently 'out of stock' for the micro sim activation kit (i want the prepaid 100 voice, unlimited text, 'unlimited' data plan). According to the online chat person I talked to, the kit should be back in stock in 24 to 48 hours.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amdhunter:
I just did a chat session on their website. Asked for a Micro-SIM to use with the Nexus 4 and the rep in the chat gave me a link to order, and verified the order number went through. I did this at 4PM. Literally at 9AM in the morning our mailroom guy handed me a package with the SIM inside.

All for $1 and change...lol
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pointNumberOne:
Did you need an activation code? I am not currently a T-Mobile customer.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Locksmith81:
Call 611... and activate through them
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wannagotopopeyes:
Definitely just go to the store and get one. I called 3 stores in the atlanta area (near my house, near my work, on the drive there) and they all said they have a crap ton of them in stock and will give you one/activate it in store for free, or (if you prefer) will cut your normal sim with a hole punch type of thing for free as well.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidd3v:
I'm a prepaid Tmob subsriber and I went to my local store where I go to refill my account every month, the guy there said that a microsim would

cost 20 bucks!

Planning to order one online now. I would still be able to retain my number, right?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rich0:
I just got one for free in my local T-Mo store. Google doesn't anticipate even shipping mine until today, so I asked them not to activate it. You can activate it from 611 or from their website once you get the phone - obviously that will kill your existing phone so hold off before doing this.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amdhunter:
Waiting on my Nexus to arrive so I can go through the steps. I hope it won't be a pain...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jess813:
If I am using Straight Talk ( or planning on using ) is the sim card different?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wsatia:
I'm a prepaid suscriber too, and was wondering the same thing. I talked over their online chat system to a rep and he said the online order won't be able to retain my number?!

Anyone else here on prepaid but managed to get it for free at a Tmob store?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Richieboy67:
Yes..you need their sim..

Straight talk doesnt let you stream media I think..

Microsim..go to tmob site..got mine for .99 cents..

i own a galaxy s3 and i have a problem: i cannot download files from the browser. for example, is this restaurant where i order pizza, they have a .pdf menu that you can download. i click on it and it says download unsuccessful. in download manager it says

not enough space

(i have over 23 gb free space...). i googled it and i found something related to lucky patcher but i don't even know what that is because it isn't installed on my phone. i had insertcoin rom installed, now i have daky. the same problem occured on both roms. Please, can someone help me to repair my phone? it's so awkward to have such a device and to be unable to download a 1MB file from the internet...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] port76:
I had the same problem it ended up that in the browser setting it was set up to download to sd instead of device and I somehow corrupted my SD card you might have the same problem try move a folder to your SD card and if it says failed then you will have to move all data on SD to internal or a PC and format the SD card then it will be OK that's what happened to me .... if you need any help pm me good luck:D

---------- Post added at 10:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:47 PM ----------

if its happened on both roms its likely to be the SD card corrupted just transfer all data to internal or a PC ,format the SD then you can transfer it back and all will be OK it sounds just like my problem I've had twice before I don't know how I managed to corrupt my SD but I did ...by default the browser is set to download to SD card and because of the corruption it was unable to download anything to it I think the setting is in the advanced part of browser settings. I hope this helps:D

---------- Post added at 10:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:52 PM ----------

try moving a couple of files from internal SD to your SD card and see if it says failed or successful ...the browser is set to download to SD card by default on all jb ROMs I don't know why. !!!!!

i realise now that you are right. my card was making problems, i removed it and it seems to be better now :). thank you for the fast answer.

galaxy s3 download unsuccessful for .doc in Internet browser

Hi there everyone,

Thank you for your explanation above.

Please be patient with me as I am new to Android, having migrated from iPhone to galaxy s3.

I have been trying to download a .doc from the Internet. I tested my iphone, downloads in seconds and opens a open with box. Trying this file on the galaxy and it takes ages to supposedly download which shows as unsuccessful. Repeatedly.

Things I have tried:

Going into security and ticking the unknown sources check box to hopefully allow downloads from Internet - to no avail

I want to try the SD issue but I don't know the process to change the default download to settings.

Things to note

the file is super small

I don't have a SIM in

Connected to wifi - reliable

I am grateful for any help

Rachael

This is why people should actually put the effort into READING and UNDERSTANDING before they start doing things that can screw their expensive phone up.

Everything else is up to you, and I'm surprised that I'm in a good enough mood to actually help and not simply troll you into the ground.

As further advice - do a search on RUU and S-OFF :eek:

I cant s-off my device, becouse my phone wont boot. Hboot 2.00.0002. Simon, HELP!
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
You stated that your phone IS S-Off. The whole point is that you should not flash an RUU on an S-Off phone as it will cause you to lose S-Off unless (like me and a few of us old-timers) you obtained S-Off with an XTC-Clip.

You have hBoot 2.00.0002 (or at least you HAD that version). You will need to see if you can still get into recovery, or get into fastboot, and get the current information for your phone.

You really, really need to do some searching and reading - you will only be helping yourself if you actually understand what you are doing and why.

I cant get in recovery, but can get into fastboot, my phone region is HTC nor, CID is HTC y13, so which RUU i can flash?

You must be UVALJ4 to use the ota.

I suggest using odin w/ the fw I have in my fw/ota thread.

I'll have to try that. I flashed my old UVALH2 kernel back and then went to update. Downloaded the 335mb file but the signature verification failed and it booted to CWM. Is it because I am rooted or not on the latest UVAXXX?

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Chicago281:
Going to do a full rundown so anyone can help me here. When I originally rooted the phone I used some type of tooklit (Looked like a green version of MS-DOS). I've always had the stock rom. I've always used CWM to flash different kernels. Right now in About Phone I'm on baseband T999UVLH2 with kernel version 3.0.8-925100-user-se.infra@Sep-86 #1

I'm trying to get Jelly Bean 4.1 as a clean install. Not worried about keeping root at the moment either. I have root66_TMO_T999UVDLJA.tar.md5 downloaded which I am trying to push through Odin. However when I reboot my phone into CWM and connect the USB cable Odin doesn't recognize my phone. I'm willing to try anything at this point as this is frustrating me beyond belief.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
You need download mode not recovery.

Same procedure but vol down instead.

Hold volume down, home and power to boot into download mode. Press vol up when prompted. Then odin will work.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Chicago281:
I feel so stupid.. Thank you for that as well! (Can I buy you a beer?) Okay I did that Odin is now pushing root66_TMO_T999UVDLJA.tar.md5. After this is done will Jelly Bean be on the phone? Should I wipe anything to get rid of the old firmware/files?

Success! Android 4.1.1 is now running with what appears to be the most updated kernel/baseband! Now should I do any type of wipe to get rid of any old files that could slow the phone down? What happens to the old firmware stuff?

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Factory reset wiil wipe apps and user data. Not necessary but I do recommend it when updating android. Just makes for reduced potential for problems.

Reset in cwm or twrp does not wipe internal sd. Stock recovery will though.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kingston73:
If you downloaded the root66 zip file you just use winrar and choose extract. It will or at least should unzip to its own folder. After that just follow the directions to use Odin.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Chicago281:
Should I be doing the "Factory Reset" in the actual menu options on the phone? Or the factory reset in the recovery mode? Also it seems I lost CWM and now have the factory recovery screen.
