[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] WorldOfJohnboy:
My only issue is that the laptop I am using is on my work's Public network... I believe that the firewall is blocking the Samsung Kies from locating the ICS upgrade. (It sees the phone with 2.3, but doesn't show that there is a firmware upgrade.) I may try using my phone's WiFi tether, but just in case I can't get it working, I'd like a manual process for accomplishing what's needed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jpcdeux:
So root GB and flash one of the "stock" rooted ROMs and be done with it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] WorldOfJohnboy:
Yeah, but if I flash a "stock" rooted ROM, won't that wipe data?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
If you go to update software in the settings can you still not download the ICS OTA update?

If you update ICS using ODIN you will lose all data. If you update using a stock rooted ROM you do not have to root first. You only need to install a custom recovery like Clockwork. You will not lose data with the stock rooted ROM approach as long as the ROM is not altered to wipe data. Haven't looked lately but there should be a completely unaltered stock ICS ROM available.

You could always just root gingerbread using this method:http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-no...y-note-sgh-i717-icsgingerbreadeasiest-method/ Then do all your backups. Install ICS and restore the apps.
[General Questions and Answers] garbage30:
hi there i have a rooted samsung galaxy s2 epic 4g touch. im looking to put custom roms on it and i have figured out that i have to flash kernels through odin. I was wondering which is safer the EL26 or the EL29, or what is best to use. I also was wondering if i do this then flash custom roms on it how do i get it back to stock if i need to for some warranty reason ect. i mean where do i find the original kernel or does it matter, I'm on build IF27 and does that make a difference when flashing kernels or going back and forth from roms and kernels. I used to have a rooted evo whick was much easier to flash but with this new phone there is a little more work to make it work. thanks for your input!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MatthewLM:
Hello.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 with T-Mobile. I broke it when flashing something. I was not worried because I thought as long as I had access to the download mode I could recover. Problem is it seems the firmware I used to recover, is not the one that came with the phone because it doesn't work perfectly (ie. The stock SMS app fails, the keyboard swiping fails and I cannot connect to Kies).

I want Jellybean but I can't connect to Kies to look for updates so I've tried two OTA updates with clockwork recovery and both failed with some sort of assertion check.

Here's the phone information:

Model number: GT-I9300

Android Version: 4.0.4

Baseband version: 19300BVLH1

Build number: IMM76D.I9300XXBLG8

When I try to install GT-I9300_I9300XXDLI7-OTA-I9300XXBLH3_NEE_277179738:

assert failed: file_getprop("system/build.prop", "ro.build.fingerprint") == "samsung/m0xx/m0:4.0.4/IMM76D/I9300XXBLH3:user/release-keys" || file_getprop("system/build.prop", "ro.build.fingerprint") == "samsung/m0xx/m0:4.1.1/JR003C/I9300XXDLI7:user/release-keys"

So can I install Jellybean? Can I at least get the correct firmware so that the keyboard swiping will work (Samsung stock keyboard) and I can connect to Kies? I have no idea what firmware that is because I thought I chose the correct one since it was labeled as the T-mobile firmware, but it wont work fully.

Thanks for any answers.

PS: I've tried other swiping keyboards but I actually like the stock Samsung one and regardless I still want to be able to connect to Kies and ideally I want Jellybean.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] wideasleep1:
TMO updates will fail, because you have an International Version (I9300), not the TMO version (T999). You will need the appropriate forum and Stock Rom Archive threads:

http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1563

I suspect you'll need Odin to return to stock, and begin your JB upgrade processes from there. Good luck!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] x1tyme:
Your phone models number is international G3 and T-Mobile T999

Kies will failed. Firmware is different... I thought international have jellybean already.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MatthewLM:
OK thanks very much. I'll look around. This is odd because my plan is with T-mobile, so that's why I'm confused. So T-mobile uses I9300 and T999? Why? What's the difference? Is the T999 the 4G one? I've double checked on the back of my phone and it's definitely I9300.

Sorry for the confusion.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] wideasleep1:
No worries, it *is* confusing...indeed, here is a chart which helps distinguish all the different models of this unit:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1756332

You have Quad-core, and I believe 21mbps '4G', whereas TMO T999 version has Dual-core, but 42mbps '4G'....but you can always run speedtests and report back the speed you're getting. I was happy with HSPA+ on my Sensation, but even happier with DC-HSPA+. :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
And please don't ever flash anything else you find here!

I'm a little surprised you didn't hard brick! They are very different, not just hardware but SW as well. Completely different partition layouts.

when people flash an international rom to the T999, they get a paperweight in rerurn! Just fyi!

[AT&T LG Optimus G] aquariuz23:
Hello folks,

I would like to ask you guys how is your experience with the GPS on the Optimus G, as in how fast and reliable is the GPS on it. I'm currently on the LG Nitro HD and as you can any of its users, the GPS is pretty bad on it. At times it can literally take more than 5-10 min to connect, and at other times it won't connect at all until I reboot the phone. I've used many apps to try and aid the locking speed of it but it just won't work at times. And when it does it can constantly lose it too.

I'm thinking of picking up the G one of these days but I'd like to be certain that this issue does not plague the G as well. Please share your experience with me.

Thanks,

Sean

P.s. another major issue is the compass, where it cant hold any bearings at all and constantly flails around in every direction. The only time it works is when I'm driving lol. The moment I stop, it goes nuts and takes my working GPS with it, messing up directions.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] theytalkalot:
after about 5 seconds, if that
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Alpione:
I played golf today and used the lgog as a GPS rangefinder. Got very accurate readings within a couple yards of a laser rangefinder my friend had. It also doesn't seem to use much battery, which is good.

Got a fix within 5 secs or so. Used it for a 4 hour round and had 70 percent left.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] aquariuz23:
Nice! Thnx a lot again!
[AT&T LG Optimus G] IrateCustomer:
I'm finding the exact opposite right now with the battery use. I was getting a 45% drop overnight while I was sleeping. So last night I turned off the GPS to see if that was causing some drain, and I woke up with only 13% drain. I'm going to do further testing though to see if there are any other items that might be causing this.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Flyview:
Haha nice to see you here Sean! Thinking about getting one of these myself!
[AT&T LG Optimus G] aquariuz23:
Haha, yeah if I can snag it for 99.99 again this Christmas, then I'll switch to it, unless at&t comes out with some other better phone by then, which I highly doubt.

[Nexus 7 General] Prophetian:
Hi guys,

Yesterday I bought a Nexus 32gb in Fnac, and I realized that with the screen off the light of a close reading lamp is reflected in it and because of this I can see a dotted line and "squares" in the screen (I suppose it's the tactile panel)

The weirdest thing is after seeing the dotted line with the screen off, when I turn it on with the highest bright and a white background I keep on seeing those points

Would you be so kind as to check this?

Thanks for all.
[Nexus 7 General] Amir 75:

The squares are in an obvious pattern. There is no way that could be a bad screen. All HP touchpad had it.

[Nexus 7 General] greenolive:
It is normal. Stop being paranoid and just accept what people are telling you. It is normal to see that pattern while the screen is on if you have a bright background.

Edit: If people say they cant see them they are not looking for it correctly. All capacative screen has em'. True story

[Nook Touch General] jordonwii:
Hey guys,

I got a Nook Simple Touch Thursday evening. This morning, I powered it on and registered it on B&N. I imaged TouchNooter to a 2gb microSD via a microSD->SD adapter, inserted it into my Nook, and it brought the TouchNooter and the screen went dark successfully. However, since then, my device has been in a boot loop and all I can make it do is reboot. I ran the factory restore function built into it (Lower two buttons), but that did nothing.

I was planning to use the n2t recovery option in case this happened, but the links to it are dead. I tried CWM, but my Nook won't boot into it for some reason.

Any ideas on how I can fix this?
[Nook Touch General] cgonxda:
Did you make a backup image before you started?
[Nook Touch General] digixmax:
You might want to try TouchFormatter. I used it successfully to recover from a failed rooting attempt.
[Nook Touch General] ladykayaker:
When you have your nook restored, be sure to check what firmware version is on your nook before you try to root.

If you have US Nook with firmware 1.2 then you will need to use Tinynoot.

Be sure to make a back up of your nook before you try to root.

Thanks for the advice guys. Unfortunately, I already returned my Nook, for a number of reasons, so I can't do anything now.

Again, thanks anyway though. Maybe this will prove useful for another noobie.

Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this and has a fix

When I connect to my router at home, the wifi is constantly disconnecting/reconnecting, so i'm cycling between wifi and my LTE radio.

I'm running a 100% stock DNA right now, fyi. Wifi is set to always on...
[HTC Droid DNA] jc332986:
This happens occasionally on mine. It's the WiFi not the phone. Reboot your router. Sometimes I also have to reboot my modem as well.
[HTC Droid DNA] majorminus:
I'm having these issues too!

Definitely not my router, considering I'm running off a university secured wireless system. On my Inc 2, I never had problems with the connection dropping in and out! It keeps my phone awake and drains the battery.
[HTC Droid DNA] adrynalyne:
The huge chunk when wifi was off I am being told is from smartsync. I had one little disconnect and that was my router Im sure because it has been acting up.
[HTC Droid DNA] drumz0rz:
I was having done Wi-Fi trouble yesterday. My phone kept dropping the Wi-Fi connection to my Verizon FiOS router. I was always within range and it hadn't acted up before. We also have an Apple Airport Extreme in the house so I connected to that one instead and I haven't had any problems.
[HTC Droid DNA] omnipotent910:
it'd definitely not the router or the cable modem. the other wifi stuff i have around connect without issues. i tried rebooting both anyway, and it didn't seem to help any. kind of annoying bug
[HTC Droid DNA] revolutionz_s13:
I switched my wifi frequency from Auto to 2.4ghz only and that seemed to stop the issue. Only thing that sucks is I lose my wireless-n speeds. Our access point at work is only 2.4ghz tho so I would have to keep switching back and forth :/
[HTC Droid DNA] chadster1976:
Just had this start happening today. I'm wondering if it's something to do with a corruption in a Wi-Fi settings file.

Here's the thing...

Router is fine... I have 6 other devices that are seeing zero problems... DNA is only one with connection troubles.

DNA worked fine for about a week before this started happening. Started after I connected to work Wi-Fi but had to forget a connection... that is what makes me wonder about messed up file.

DNA is stock, no root, etc.

I guess the only way to check it out would be to compare files to try and find corruption... which would require root...

Any suggestions from others?
[HTC Droid DNA] adrynalyne:
Some (maybe all) devices keep their current AP data under /data/wifi.

A wipe would cure corruption. It wouldn't have corrupted on read only /system.
[HTC Droid DNA] chadster1976:
Would this be cache/dalvik wipe or a full reset wipe?

Pardon the somewhat noob question, but the system still has permission to write and modify itself, does it not? How else does it save settings, make new AP's, save WAP, WEP, pass-phrases, etc.? Couldn't there be a possibly broken or slightly fouled way that the system modifies its settings files that causes a corruption or error in the file with some sort of a save? Maybe corruption is a bad choice of a word for what this is... just trying to think it through since there are others with similar problems. I may not be the best person to troubleshoot this since I'm no where near a developer level, but I do like solving problems.
[HTC Droid DNA] adrynalyne:
Full reset, unless the poster is rooted, in which case the folder contents could be nuked. As for writing to system, no. It cannot write to system without s-off, even if you mount it as rw. The system isn't modified for settings, etc. anyway. Instead it is modified on the data partition. That way, when you do a factory reset, everything returns to default. A mobile OS that modifies things via it's core files would be a disaster.
[HTC Droid DNA] chadster1976:
Ugh - and I was just getting things like I wanted them...

Sorry, the way I worded that could have been better... by system I meant the OS itself, not writing to the system partition. I understand that it is locked at this point until S-Off is achieved. But it does sound like the OS writes it's settings to the data partition - as you said under the /wifi folder. What I was curious about was if there was some sort of slight error in the way that the OS was writing that config file that caused itself problems. There were a bunch of wifi issues on the Touchpad (tenderloin) early on that this reminds me of. May no be related at all, though... just seems similar.

Unfortunately, my time is short right now with finals approaching on the horizon, but I'll keep lurking and looking into it as my time allows. I love learning anything I can about this sort of stuff.

Thanks for the help BTW. Much respect for your dev work!
[HTC Droid DNA] adrynalyne:
Well, it is possible, if the image flashed on the phone was bad to start with. Other than that though, it would take some sort of NAND failure to corrupt something. In which case, the OP has a strong case to get it replaced under warranty.
[HTC Droid DNA] lazarus2297:
I never had any issues with this until last night.. I had switched the frequency from auto to 2.4ghz and when I got home or started acting weird so I just switched back to auto frequency and it connected like normal.. idk why that would cause issues but thought I would throw in my $.02..
[HTC Droid DNA] majorminus:
Mine was originally set to auto, so I switched it to 2.4Ghz and that seemed to only make it worse. The constant disconnecting is only a problem on one network, but unfortunately it's my campus-wide secured wireless network so it's not like I can just reset the router.

My battery life has been significantly worse when connected to this network through the day. It's so bad that I've gone 4G only.
[HTC Droid DNA] iper:
I had this problem when I was custom Rom, after changing to stock Rom that problem solved
[HTC Droid DNA] chadster1976:
The Wi-Fi problems that I'm experiencing showed up after only switching networks, forgetting networks, changing security passkeys, NOT changing the auto or 2.4, 5g settings. I'm still wondering if it's some sort of a problem with the settings file. Does anyone know if the settings file can be deleted and replaced with a default file to try and start new without having to factory reset the entire phone?
[HTC Droid DNA] adrynalyne:
If you are rooted, you can just delete the conf file from /data/wifi.
[HTC Droid DNA] chadster1976:
I figured it would take root. Was going to try it w/o root just to see if a fully stock system could be remedied since the problems are not necessarily on a rooted system and are showing up on stock systems too.

I may try this later this afternoon since I'm planning on rooting anyway for a ROM upgrade.

If I delete the config file, will the system simply generate a new one or do I need to overwrite with a stock or blank one?

Thanks again for the information ADR> wish you had stayed on DNA... :(
