^^what Cnexus said go into recovery and wipe cache, Dalvik and do factory reset. 3.17 needs a clean install. If not you will get those freeze and reboot issues.

Unlike previous versions which you could dirty flash

I couldn't remember if it was up or down vol and I had been doing down vol which got me into Odin. Didn't know tHAT would happen . . . anyway up vol / home / pwr did indeed do the trick and I reflashed the rom. It appears to have worked and I'm back up and running. Thanks again.

I guess at 11:04 PM I am lazy. It did flash okay on the 2nd try and (head hung in contrite fashion) it was a dirty flash. Everything does seem to be working though so I'm going to leave well enough alone tonight. If I have freezes and other ugly behavior from da device I'll do a clean flash and publicly express my shame for not paying attention.

I do appreciate the assistance and it did allow me to sleep peacefully . . . pretty soon too I might add.

G'nite.

Volume?

Hey everyone.. I asked Kennyglass and he has not seen it yet..

I flashed stock volume and for some reason the volume is way loud.... I usually keep it on just the lowest sound (the one right above vibrate)

To me it sounds like its on 3 up... I have reflashed as per Kenny with no difference..

Has anyone seen this? When I was on 3.14 with stock volume it was perfect, Its not a huge deal, I just prefer it to me quieter and I cant seem to figure out how to fix it?

New day - new question

I was so impressed with the quick and helpful advice I received last night when I was attempting things I learned long ago not to attempt just before I planned to go to bed, that I am going to challenge those that are susceptible to challenges. I have an external SD card that I forget how big . . . but I doubt I would have bought anything smaller than max allowable. Yet it remains virtually empty while by system shakes its electronic finger at me saying I have insufficient space for about anything I want to do. On my previous GS2 international version I ran a custom rom (Omega) that had a feature allowing you to move all your apps to your external SD and it worked great. Can that not be done with this rom and perhaps some app that someone knows will really work? I have deleted a variety of things but still don't get the device to loosen up and let me load. (It must have been programmed by a wife).

Anyone challenged? or perhaps just knowledgeable and compassionate? :p
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
These phones do not like this to be done to them, but I'm pretty sure your issues are related to not doing a clean install and not doing factory reset. I'm pretty sure you have corrupted data somewhere. But this is the only successful method of moving apps to SD http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=30624655

Not true, when instructed to place a file in the root it means you are to put it in the base of the file system, or in other words not inside any directory (the path to the file will be / instead of /some_folder_name/ and so forth). It is the equivalent of c:\ on a Windows machine - does that make sense?

Yes . . . well I am duly ashamed of myself and given that I am now wide awake as opposed to last night (when I really should not have tried anything more complicated than brushing my teeth), I have just completed a full factory wipe. The phone has just rebooted, I signed into my Google account and now face restoring everything via Titanium; a process that I have done many times so I don't expect to pester anyone on that account.

Hopefully, my dirty flash repentance will appease whatever angry entity preventing me from full access of my SD card and I can live happily ever after.

Thank you for the patient assistance . . .

Looking for someone smarter than me

I doubt I will need to look for long.

Last night while getting my phone all tuned up after my belated clean flash of 3.17, I methodically removed the multitude of duplicated contacts I had; which in some cases were over 5 or 6 duplicates. Adding to the monotony was the apparent fact that somehow, somewhere, I must have failed to tic a box that said "Do Not Sync With Linkedin Contacts". Then too there was obviously a time when somehow my wife's contacts were merged with mine. Anyway it was one of those exercises in drudgery that when finished gave me a warm fuzzy feeling of satisfaction. Today, I proudly opened up what I expected to be my lean, clean contact list only to discover Google monsters had slipped in and poured all those superfluous contacts right back into my phone.

YIKES! How does one go into that otherworldly place where Google stores backups of contacts?? I want to rip those things out by the root but I don't know where to go. Vat to do??

Wellllllllll . . . I said my mea culpas, did a clean flash, restored judiciously and generally behaved myself. But I'm still out of space with an almost empty SD card (palm slaps forehead).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
Delete any back ups you have. Check all folders on internal and external storage for recovery and delete any backups you have of the rom. Also if you have used any other app to create backups clear them all. These roms backup over a gig each time.

Edit: there's also something Kenny i believe mentioned several days ago also about clearing, let me see if I can find it.

Samsung probably figured they would sell more 32GB versions to the hard core gamer downloading huge games. Just make sure the camera and all backup programs are set to store on sd card. You could always store some large programs on your SD if they are rarely used and install when you want to use them then uninstall when done.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] prboy1969:
Yes tried it. It works well. But read the OP carefully. Also I would suggest backing up your init.d folder before flashing. As a second precaution, which I always generally do. I would also suggest doing a Nand Backup. Just something I've gotten into the habit of doing. That I highly advice to do on a regular basis. Especially before flashing a Mod.

The Mod edfunkycold linked works great. I use it on the wife's S3. Have to :rolleyes: . One thing that keeps coming to mind is that you said you did a Full Factory Reset before flashing. That is not the same as a FULL Wipe. By "FULL Wipe" we mean : system, data, dalvik cache, cache, and factory reset. I even do a full wipe of the Internal SD Storage. I go all out :p . So if all you did was a Factory Reset, you may want to try again with a Full Wipe. Also make sure to verify the MD5 checksum before flashing.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bhitt:
The company I work for has a BYOD (bring your own device) policy where if you use your own phone for work calls, company email access and so on, you get an amount deposited in your account with your salary. All in all it works great but it also hampers that little boy that lives right behind my heart who keeps pestering me to flash and mod. For example, before I updated to 3.17 I did full backups with Titanium Pro, GoBackup and nandroid. Then I did a wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvic cache and flashed the rom. Next came that part we all so enjoy . . . restoring everything. In that process somehow my work email program was not restored and I had to go visit the IT folks to get them to enable everything behind the curtain again in their system. It's enough of a pain going through it, that I try to limit my visits to IT. So I need to really study and pay attention before leaping off into those areas of intense temptation I tend to wanna leap into. That said, the little boy is poking me in the ribs and I am surely inspired to do my research.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tazfanatic:
What you trying to say you don't like your IT folks? We are usually a great bunch but we sometimes poke fun at the end users. Not so unlike in here we sometimes do the same but it is all in just. At least your company didn't mine you rooting your phone. If they enforce an encryption policy onto your phone is where it gets interesting. I tried to go to CM on my work phone (hides from kenny with that statement)(sorry was bored LOL) but because of the different OS encryption it failed had to re-flash TPR and start all over. You can't run nan when your phone is encrypted either. You should write down you email settings by going into system\accounts and select your work email it should bring up the properties then choose settings.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bhitt:
Don't like IT folks? Hmmm . . . I'm not sure; I've never eaten any. Actually I get on well with the IT folks and they don't raise any alarms over my rooted phone. In our case they use Touchdown from nitrodesk.com for the exchance email client coupled with airwatch for email security. There are no restrictions on what I do with the phone, even rooting. But I can't simply copy the settings and re-set everything after I wipe/flash because there are login settings that are generated by IT in their system that must be entered. I use my phone like I normally would, you know . . . visit terrorist sites, bestiality user groups, small cute animal torture videos . . . all the normal places I want and the company never says a thing. (Hey! Obama, I'm joking, okay?) Seriously though I don't feel any real restrictions and they give me $300 mo. toward my phone. I'm pretty well behaved with my phone so I am happy with the $300 stipend for using it for business.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tazfanatic:
That's cool I was joking mainly because I am IT and also Airwatch admin for a major hospital network in Boston. They are pushing your setting by Airwatch most likely so your right nothing to copy. Just be careful if the do want to enforce an encryption policy which can be done through Airwatch. It is always good to get in with the IT crowd. As far as eating them not sure that would be a good idea unless you like booze LOL most of us love to drink. I did LOL @ "you know . . . visit terrorist sites, bestiality user groups, small cute animal torture videos . . . all the normal places I want and the company never says a thing. (Hey!
