[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] psykhotic:
A couple days ago MMS over WiFi broke. I tried every setting possible so I ODIN'd back to ICS without root and things were 100000x better. Still got a few disconnects but nowhere near as horrible. Then I did the OTA on tmos server to JB. Seemed a little less stable but still useable for texts. Rooted last night and still seems stable but a few extra disconnects.

One thing I've noticed on a few disconnects, I saw the connected to WiFi network bottom of screen notification pop up. The WiFi indicator stayed full bars so I'm not sure if it actually disconnected or that bottom screen pop up was just WiFi calling reenabling.

I think the WiFi in our phone is less than great. My router gives my PC a 300/300mbps link, on my phone it's 65/150mbps.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] fireboypr:
For me all the problems are resolved except mms. But no disconnects, texts and calls work great. Used it the whole weekend without one single problem. I havent done anything with the phone, Im using sonic resurrection 7.1.1 ROM. Maybe tmobile is fixing the problem, slowly but fixing it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jjlean:
There are allllllllll these threads aboutwifi calling and NO SOLUTIONS posted from tmobile. What a pathetic joke of a company.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] psykhotic:
I thought it worked for you???
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jjlean:
It drops my calls know. Pisses me off. I don't get a signal at home so it's a bummer this isn't working.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] psykhotic:
Did you change anything?? My service has been a little more stable but 4/5 times tonight when I unlocked my phone it was "searching". I have a Linksys router coming tomorrow so I'm pretending that'll make it great... if not I'll use it as a second AP so I can get wifi in my laundry room and garage. The other router I'm going to send back because it's range was crappy. I live in a big one story so having a second AP should be nice.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jjlean:
No. I odined back to ics and it worked today perfect, but that's hardly a tell all.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] psykhotic:
Got my Linksys today it's a 300mbps like my Netgear but the link is 72mbps over 2.4ghz compared to 65mbps on the Netgear.

Hahaha, was about to say it seemed better and it just crashed. Oh man...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jjlean:
When I for this phone out worked perfect. I'm going back to uvalem to see if that fixes it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] savagezen:
Wifi calling has worked "OK" for me, though I don't really use it that much, the one call I did make dropped after about 15min, I just figured it was a network limit set by Tmo. Trying to make this post productive.... if you don't need to make long calls over wifi, I believe that there are some apps floating around the market that let you make free wifi calls under 5 - 10 min. Of course, this assumes the problem is with Tmo and not your(our) phones, router, or internet connection.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] psykhotic:
My WiFi calling has been connected for 6 hours!!! I was asleep though...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jjlean:
I have tried every router configuration there is. It's not that. I don't know what the problem is. I'm tired of it. So far it has worked on ics uvalem.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] psykhotic:
Connected 9am to 7pm.. Just dropped but came back.. Hm. I haven't really used my phone today only like 30 texts.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] edit28:
I stopped using Wifi-Calling after too many dropped calls and bad connections. I usually attribute these issues to my (many) custom ROMs being used. I haven't been on stock since week 1 of it's release... Thinking back I don't remember any issue with the wifi-calling using stock ICS
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] savagezen:
Wifi calling worked form me with the Darth Stalker V3 (JB) rom. If it works on your ROM then I guess you're good to go. If it aint broke, don't fix it.. of course then why does this forum exist ;)

Are we talking about call drops or connection drops? I have had mine connected all day and haven't notice any issues. The only problem I had was the length of the call resulting in an in-call drop. To be honest though, I usually leave it turned off to save battery unless I need to make a call (which is not very often).
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] psykhotic:
Connection drops. I can't leave it off because I have -999 bars at my house.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] thecolonel797:
Hey guys I seem to have quite a problem with my skyrocket. My internal storage has become read-only. No amount of wiping, formatting, or flashing with ODIN changes anything.

As soon as anything on my phone tries to save data, the /data partition gets remounted as RO and every app begins to crash.

I tried a factory reset, which reported success until I booted up and everything was still there on the phone.

So I tried to reflash the phone with ODIN which also reported success, but when the phone rebooted it was still running the same ROM (CM10 nightly) and all my old data was still there. I've tried flashing both the rom and the recovery and neither can be written to.

Any ideas on what happened? Sadly the phone was a refurb and so it's 90 day warranty is up so I can't just send it in.

Edit: I should add that I didn't do anything to the phone when this happened. It happened during the evening while I was out. I woke up the next morning to my phone force closing and on reboot all the texts and pictures I had since about 12:30 AM were gone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Jack_R1:
What did you flash with Odin?

Try flashing a completely stock build.

Remounting partition as RO happens when partition has errors. You might want to reflash stock with repartitioning, there is a PIT map in one of the threads on the main page of Q&A.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] thecolonel797:
Originally I tried flashing a different CWM build and TWRP. Neither of which actually got written to the phone.

I just tried flashing stock ICS without repartitioning and it booted right back into CM10.

So next I tried flashing stock with re-partitioning checked and a PIT file vincom had posted in another thread. It still booted right back into CM10 after reporting success in ODIN.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Jack_R1:
Very strange, but if even download mode doesn't succeed in writing to the device - I don't think there's anything that can be done but HW repair.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] thecolonel797:
That's what I thought as well. I've found a couple of other people with the same problem throughout the various GS2 variants. Unfortunately the only fix I've seen anyone find is to get a replacement from Samsung.

I may have to buy one off someone with a broken screen and swap out the circuit boards.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vincom:
to clarify, do not check "repartitioning" in odin, it will cause a hardbrick for the skyrocket, in op's case he has a nand error so repartitioning wont cause a hardbrick because it wont repartition since it wont write anything because a failure in the nand(write failure). as far as i know its a hardware failure and there is no workaround for that failure. but u can read this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1704646 and see if the steps there will help
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ddiehl:
I thought I read somewhere on here that there is a way to put the phone to sleep with a swipe-up gesture.. I tried searching but no luck..

Any guidance would be appreciated..

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bsweetness:
Well, bad news folks. It seems that while we can indeed get to Blocking Mode, it doesn't appear to be fully functional. When I first found it and tested it out, it successfully blocked the calls I made from my computer via Gmail and Skype. But after some further tests this afternoon, it didn't actually block any calls made by some friends via their cell phones. So, while it's there, it doesn't seem like it's fully functional. At the very least, maybe this gives us some hope for someone out there to find a way to get it working consistently or that Verizon will enable it in a future update.

___________________________________________________________________________

I was playing around with one of my favorite apps Any Cut. Regrettably, Any Cut (which isn't available in the Play Store any more) doesn't work correctly on Jelly Bean, but it works enough to be able to take a look at many of the shortcuts it's able to find. And low and behold, Blocking Mode was in the list. Since Any Cut is problematic on Jelly Bean (it kind of works, but not completely), I found another app on the Play Store that operates in much the same way that Any Cut does - QuickShortcutMaker.

No root required!

Here's how to get to it:

1) Download QuickShortcutMaker from the Play Store. (Note: the app closed on me a few times while trying to use it, but it eventually worked)

2) After QuickShortcutMaker installs, open it up.

3) Type Blocking Mode in the text field. The app is pretty slow when it comes to populating the available shortcuts, so it might take a little bit. Once it finishes, tap on the first result at the top (It will say "Settings" with Blocking mode underneath it.

4) Rename the shortcut to whatever you want. It's named "Settings" by default, and I changed mine to "Blocking Mode."

5) Tap "OK."

6) You'll now have a shortcut on your homescreen that will take you right into Blocking Mode (the icon will be a cog just like the Settings icon). Open it up and and block away! (Note: the shortcut on your homescreen will be the only way to access Blocking Mode, so if you delete it, you'll have to create a new one in order to get back into the settings for it)

Known issues:

The app will force close when trying to add contacts to the custom allowed contact list. But it seems to work fine when selecting "Favorites" as opposed to creating a new custom list. So if adding contacts to a custom list is force closing for you, add the contacts that you want to come through to your general favorites list when Blocking Mode is enabled, and then use the Favorites option in the Blocking Mode settings.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rnd0209:
Thank you!! Now lets figure out how to get the S Planner widget on this thing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] loggainsd:
Nice find! When I add custom contacts or force closes.any of yall havingthat problem?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bsweetness:
I am as well. It's probably due to the fact that Verizon doesn't have it fully implemented. Try adding the contacts you want to come through to your general contacts favorites list and then select the favorites option in Blocking Mode. That worked for me. I've updated the original post to reflect this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] loggainsd:
I didn't think of that. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Hitman3984:
Cant help but think Samsung left it in on purpose so we'd find it and shove it to vzw.

Alot of speculation was they leaked the insecure bootloader for the gs3 as well.

This is a great find, thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] crazydad:
OK im a bit lost . can someone pls tell me what blocking mode is and what it does?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Gamer_Girl:
Thanks for the tip!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bsweetness:
Blocking mode allows you to set a specified period of time during which the phone will not ring. But you can set it so that the phone will still ring for certain contacts during the time it's enabled.

For instance, I don't want to be disturbed while I'm sleeping by random calls or texts, but I don't put my phone into silent mode while I'm asleep because I'm worried that I'll miss an emergency call from family. With Blocking Mode, I can block all calls/notifications from coming through except calls/notifications from certain people. So calls/notifications that I feel might be important, like from family or certain friends, will come through, but all others won't. That way I'm only woken up by people who I feel are important enough to wake up for.

It's also helpful in other situations when you're busy and don't want to be disturbed except by certain people.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaRkL3AD3R:
Wow EXCELLENT find OP!!! Much kudos to you!

I can't help but feel so offended by Verizon and how they butchered this great phone, or rather tried to...

After almost a month solid holding it back from us, they finally release it and what do you know? They strip it of features that are intended to be part of the phone as sold by Samsung. The fact that it's still there but HIDDEN is proof of this concept.

We need to send this info to all the big phone journalism sites out there like Engadget, Gizmodo, Droid-Life etc and blow some serious smoke up Verizon's ass. Let them know we are disgusted by their attempts to remove features from our phones that no other carrier has done.

Hopefully they realize they were wrong and to fix the negative publicity they decide to send out an update that adds the missing features back. They better >:(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bsweetness:
I sent it into Droid-Life this morning after I found it, and a short time ago they posted a story about it - How to: Enable "Blocking Mode" on Verizon's Galaxy Note 2

I doubt this particular issue will get enough coverage to cause any measurable negative publicity, but hopefully it can at least bring some of the stuff Verizon is choosing to do to light for a greater audience.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] crazydad:
Cool thats what i tought. Thanks for verifying for me!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TeeX2.0:
tried this, and like others got the force closes when trying to add contacts to "custom". Problem is, this isn't working. I even tried allowing no contacts (to block everything), and every call or text still goes through! :(

I tried this by calling from my work phone (that isn't anywhere in my contact list), and even call or texting from my regular contacts. These should all be blocked, but they all get through- texts and calls.

I've tried rebooting, but nothing seems to be blocked.

?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tithefug:
This can also be achieved using a custom Launcher like Nova or Apex. To do this, long press on the home screen, click "Shortcuts" --> "Activities" --> "Blocking Mode".

Granted, the OP way uses the stock TouchWiz, but just offering another solution.

Enjoy!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bsweetness:
Yeah, the original post has been updated to reflect the fact that it's actually not fully functional.

At least it gives us some hope that perhaps someone can get it functioning or that it will be enabled in the future.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TeeX2.0:
bummer. I hoped I was just doing something wrong :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] loggainsd:
Even setting it to favorite contacts doesn't work for me
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mikecolorama:
works on my Verizon SGS3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] palmcrash:
Confirmed it works. Nova Launcher's built-in shortcut mechanism also lists Blocking Mode.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TeeX2.0:
does it actually block calls? mine seemed like it was activated, but calls and notifications came through anyway :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bass38:
sunbelipreface

I would like to know to.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] xxxxmarkxxx:
Mine never worked
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TeeX2.0:
nah, it's a good find, but it's not working.

Call Control app seems like it's pretty robust though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] LBJM:
It sounds to me like blocking mode is a software feature. Why not pull the apk for it from a version of the phone that has it working?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TeeX2.0:
I'm going to correct my previous post. Call Control keeps force closing, but after trying several blocking apps, I found "Mr. Number".

It's really impressive! Works perfectly with the Note 2. You can send a call straight to voicemail, have it pick-up/hang-up, or white list (let it ring through to your phone). It can also block texts, and had a great look-up feature to search for numbers you don't know who it is.

highly recommend!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] xxxxmarkxxx:
I've always used root call blocker
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] HarlyFan:
Call Blocker has the ability to set the time to block call with the exception of those that you set it up to allow through do any of these others apps do that succesfully
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] blackbass595:
The blocking mode i got from adrynalyn half way works. It block texts and notifications from apps just fine. That's what I wanted anyway. Like to turn that stuff off when i sleep and only allow calls through in case of emergency. I combined one of the mini themes with the systemui I got from ADR and its good to go.

EDIT: I should say that it lets the notifications through but kills the associated alert/vibrate ... I wouldn't want it if it stopped em all together. But as previously stated I tried to block all calls and they still came in along with ring/vibrate.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bass38:
How did you get it? Mind sharing?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] blackbass595:

I love the app "gesture search" available on the play store. You draw whatever letter/number you're searching and it lists options. Tried it for blocking mode and it popped up!!

Too bad it doesnt work right on the Verizon network.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gmm6797:
I have used it on my Verizon Siii with minimal issues... the main one is inconstancy, sometimes calls were ignored that should have made it... and the touch screen vibrate never comes back on.

Hi

I have installed the cm10 on my gt p7510 and I have to say i am having a very bad experience

Yeah it was considerably faster but i had some bugs.. stuff that gets to me

1 Volume control is horrible when using a headphone and when listening to music the sound kinda like lag every once in a while

2 when playing games where u use tow hands one to aim and one to walk like shadowgun.. the aim and walking both suddenly stop and u have to pull away ur finger and try again this happens a lot and makes playing games a bit frustrating

I do like the cm10 its faster kinda takes care of the lag I had on the official ICS I don't want to get back to it plzz help

So can anybody tell me if there is a solution for any of these problems or maybe a better build

My most annoying problem would have to be number 2 thnx

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atsamoon:

Every thing else is great just those tow bugs at least that's what i noticed
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OTAw:
You didn't specify the name of the kernel so I'm assuming that you're on the default build that comes with cm10?

How about trying a different kernel? I personally suggest (and use) the a1 kernel as it can be overclocked up to 1.6mhz.

On the stock kernel I was unable to play gta3 because it was too laggy. but when I installed the a1 kernel, and setup a setCPU profile to o/c at 1.6mhz on the "performance" setting while playing gta3, the gameplay was liquid smooth.

So perhaps try that kernel and see if it irons out your issue.

I had no idea u could over clock to 1.6 I thought the limit was 1.4 I will try this definitely

But I don't think it'll work cause the game had no problems on stock ICS or cm9 ICS

But I will try if it solves it I'll report back thnxx
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atsamoon:
Just flashed it and overclocked to 1.6 GHz

noooooo luck still the same. U have the same tab as I do , did u have the same problem?

Just a quick question will overclocking like damage the CPU should I do it or what

Thnx again for ur concern
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atsamoon:
update

Update:

I think the problem actually is in the kernel

Heres what i did: I INSTALLED CM9 cause I just had enough with cm10 cause THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE ANY SOLUTION

After I installed the cm9 EVERY THING WAS WORKING GREAT even the game THEN I thought TO INSTALL THE KERNEL TO BE ABLE TO overclock TO 1.6GHZ it installed oky ....I didn't overclock and tried the game again and I got the same problem then reinstalled cm9 again and the problem was gone

So I think the problem is with the cm10 kernel..... I don't know maybe iam wrong tell me what do you think

Any way iam gonna stick with the cm9 at least till the 4.2 is out
