[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lither:
I have heard that DroidWall discontinued of development to work on Android 4.x Jellybean, does anyone use this on their S3? Can you report back if its working or not please,

Also if it doesnt work, whats a good alternative app?

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phantogenic:
Can confirm it's working perfectly fine.

Have you made sure that you've switched the firewall on and applied the rules from the soft menu?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lither:
Does it work for Jellybean? Also how do I know if DroidWall is working?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spamtrash:
Yes, it works.

How to check? Very simple.

For example, I'm using the Opera browser. So, you can go to DroidWall, enable/disable mobile data, same: enable/disable Wifi, and try to open any page.

I cant believe I went through 6 devices.

The first 4 had the same problem. Old text messages would send themselves to the last 2 people I texted, at random. 4 in the afternoon or 3 in the morning. I was annoying my friends all the time. 5th device came with damage (stuck power button would turn the phone off by itself)

Last device, the one im using now is stuck in landscape for no apparent reason. Dock mode is on and I cant turn it off. Something is making my phone think its on. Called AT&T, complained, told them about how many devices ive been through. Initially got denied, asked to speak to a manager. Got denied again, they offered a year-early upgrade for no charge, but I denied that. After about 30 minutes of back and forth, they decied to send me a blue GS3 that should be here this week

The phone has been good to me when it worked, but Im tired of getting replacements.

You must be doing something wrong...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] phi11yphan:
Aside from the stuck power button (which is just a hardware problem)... maybe it's a bugged program (or virus attachment) that you keep installing on your new devices? What happens if you DON'T install your usual programs on your latest device? Try it out for a week, and then you can start to pinpoint the rogue application. Don't use your phone to connect to any email either, and then you can narrow down if it's an application or data problem.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] thebobmannh:
Exactly. The problem the first four "phones" had was almost undoubtedly NOT a hardware problem, and I'm amazed and dismayed that you got them to replace your phone (dismayed because that cost gets passed on to everyone else, AND the more people do this the less likely people with legitimate problems are going to get their problems addressed... boy cries wolf syndrome, if you will)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] quarlow:
When my GS II was randomly shutting down they made me try a phone with NO apps installed other than what came pre-installed, for a week to eliminate app issues. And because I was desperate, I did.

I have had the text issue when texting people on T-Mobile. Only certain people on T-Mobile. Theirs would come to me several times, or mine would go to them duplicated or delayed and they would get like 5 at once. Never did figure out the cause, it just stopped on its own. This was a few years ago, though. In this case I would expect some app on your phone. The XDA does this thing that if I post an image on the forum, like an hour later I get a toast that my reply was successful, and find it duplicated my post.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] HTC_Phone:
I'm currently on my 4th One X replacement device. The first three replacements and the original had screen flex issues along the side, and in the middle. One of the replacements had a faulty power button. They offered a make/model change for free, and that meant instead of continually sending the White One X, they sent the Grey. It was either that, or DOWNGRADE to a cheaper phone.

Needless to say... The 4th one still has these issues. But I'm tired of dealing with AT&T because it really hasn't been resolved. I could keep complaining, and eventually if it gets worse I will.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
Sounds like they are sending you crappy refurbs.. mine had the screen flex in the top right, it fixed itself, but now the casing creaks a bit, other than that... mine is fine, but I got it new.. second one..

Replaced the first (bought new) cause WiFi didn't work
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] HTC_Phone:
Yup. They sure do keep sending me crappy refurbs. Kinda ticks me off, but what else could I do? Not much. They refuse to budge.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skillfulshoe:
My first HOXL had the same screen problem. Went to one att store, explained the problem and they turned me away. Went to another store nearby, explained the problem, and they went into the back and got me a brand new one no questions asked. Just try different stores, maybe you'll get lucky like me.

(By the way this was in the summer before it was banned for a while ago I don't know if the policy is different with the phone now)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] hyun18:

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] CheesyNutz:
i had 13 replacements back when had the evo4g
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] phi11yphan:
or, if you only want to hit one place, google the nearest att Device Support Center. if it isn't too far of a drive, i can't imagine they'll ever turn anyone away. their primary function is to fix or replace your phone (if it's within the 1 yr mfr warranty). no receipt needed... they'll bring up your account. (don't give them a device that's been visibly tampered -- revert back to stock, etc)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
You can't exchange for a new phone in-store beyond the first 30 days. After that, you go through warranty and its all refurbs. As previously mentioned, you can go to that a Device Support Center, but they will still be refurbs, but at least you can test them out before leaving the place.

Multiple defective refurbs are common, and even the same issue. But the 4 in a row with the exact same text issue is odd, if not suspicious. Are you migrating any backed up data like SMS? Might even be a network related problem.

I love how the HTC build feels, and the screen is amazing but for some reason the S3 is more me I guess? lol
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Mister J:
If you downgrade the HBOOT flashing will be much easier. That is if you are what we would call an "advanced/expert" user since you will also need to know how to unbrick if anything goes wrong.

With any other phone with HTC dev unlock you have to fast boot kernels, I believe this was intentional on htcs part to make sure the user has some knowledge of adb before jumping into flashing custom ROMs
[General Questions and Answers] adrrrrrian:
ive tried countless time even watched a couple of videos and still my phone wont go into download mode it just turns on normally
[General Questions and Answers] juzz86:
Can you go into a bit more detail of what you've tried please mate?

It varies between models and I don't have an S3 handy, but basically turn your phone off, pull the battery and put it back in. Leaving the phone off, hold down the volume up and home buttons, then power on the device, holding down both buttons until download mode appears.

It may also be volume down, instead of volume up.

If worse comes to worst, you may need to grab a USB jig off eBay or somewhere similar, to force it into Dowload mode.

I don't mean to insinuate you haven't alreayd tried the above, your post was just a little lacking in details :)

Good luck! I'll stay subscribed and wait to hear back from you, although don't be surprised if this gets shifted to the S3 section, where it probably belongs :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Vronsky:
Fella's,

When I'm not using my GT-P6211 it's in the dock and constantly charging.

Is this constant charging harmful for the battery in anyway ?

I'm assuming the charging is automatically switched off when the battery is full, and just a trickle charge remains.

Haven't noticed any negative effects (yet).

THANKS,

V.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Graffiti Exploit:
Trickle Charge is for about 30 minutes. Battery shouldn't be charged for more than 6 hours. Well at least that's what it says for most battery tips.

I follow that and this is what I have got. I have a P6200.

As you can see it took about 9 hours to get it to 98% from 99% on standby. So I guess it's a good thing to follow. No battery saving apps were used.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cloves:
Hi everyone,

Hoping to get a little feedback. I am a bit confused about how to correctly update to the latest firmware (2.13). I looked at the thread located here.

The download I think is the correct one is labeled "2.13.651.1 Firmware (No Kernel, Hboot, or Recovery.)"

Question: Since I am running TWRP recovery, does this get flashed in the same way as described by the thread::confused:

"How to flash (install):

Download your zip of choice, and rename it to PJ75IMG.zip, and save it to the root of your external sd card. Reboot into bootloader mode, and accept the update. Let it run through, and wait for the successful message. "

PS here are my specs:

Phone is unlocked (s-off) and has root (Used RegawMOD) to achieve this.

TWRP Recovery installed.

Made backup of the stock rom using TWRP.

Software information:

Android version:

4.0.3

HTC Sense version:

4.0

Software version:

1.13.651.1 710RD

HTC SDK API level:

4.20

PRI Version:

2.28_003

PRL Version:

25009

More:

Kernel Version: 3.0.8-01360...

Baseband:

1.02.12.0427

Build number:

1.13.651.1_R2 CL60201 release-key
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
Unlocked and S-OFF are not the same. If you are HTCDev unlocked you will have to relock your bootloader and take the OTA. If you are LazyPanda S-OFF you can place the file on your ext sdcard and boot into bootloader and it will ask you if you want to flash the update.

I have only used the full firmware package from Capt_Throwback not sure about the one you posted. you can find it here
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cloves:
Ok just to reiterate the phone is S-OFF & rooted. RegawMOD used the HTC Dev method and flashed TWRP as its recovery program.

I want to keep the phone using the Sprint stock rom for now but want to update the firmware. I can't do OTA because TWRP has replaced the stock recovery from my understanding.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
Did you use Lazy Panda to achieve S-OFF?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cloves:
I am not S-OFF

Bigdaddy, Thanks for the reply again.

I just read on the original forum for RegawMOD that I am not "S-off" because I have not used dirtyracun or lazypanda. For some reason I thought that tool not only gave me root but also "S-off" since it showed tampered with when in the recovery screen.

Thought I had a good handle on this whole rom issue by now considering this is my 4th HTC phone but I guess I am not 100% there.

What should I do at this point? I am mass confused.

Could you share some light on what is the correct way to root and s-off this phone? what a F'in pain in the tail. :eek:

Well, if there is a light sensor, i can imagine that a custom ROM can access it somehow and make auto brightness possible.

If you have an OTA update.zip please PM it to me or contact me on google talk (mattlgroff@gmail.com) and I will quick add it to this thread, with safe hosting, credits to The Firmware Team's Pzyduck for providing safe-haven for these types of files.

Instructions for pulling an OTA update.zip:

Do NOT install the update! Do these first!

Be rooted. We got plenty of methods. Motofail2go for ICS, and my RAZRiRoot.zip for turl1's Clockworkmod.

Download the Root Explorer app, or the ES File Manager app. (Instructions are for Root Explorer.)

Open Root Explorer and go to the ~/cache/ directory, which resides on the root directory of the phone '~/'

Hit the 'Mount R/W' in the corner, if successful will then say 'Mount R/O'

Copy the update file .zip from the ~/cache/ to your sdcard, external to be safe. External is in ~/mnt/external1/ and Internal is ~/sdcard/.

Copy over the update file .zip from the sdcard(s) you chose to your computer and upload it.

You will want to use Voodoo's OTA Rootkeeper before updating if you have a locked bootloader, you can find my thread on a RAZR i compatible version here.

Send me or post a link here to the update and exactly what System Version you were on, and where the update takes you to.

The community will thank you for your help! :)

Enjoy. Remember to do your part to the community and contribute all updates!
