[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sten1234:
I have a galaxy S3 which i bought brand new a couple of weeks ago. I live in the UK and its locked to the Orange network operator. The phone came with stock ICS 4.0.4 and i want to update it to Jelly Bean. I downloaded Kies from samsung.com/kies, attached my phone via USB and it says that there is a new firmware update ready to be installed. So after i click start to start the update everything looks like its going fine, a new box opens up asking me to agree a few things and then i click start. Then a new box opens up with an image of a computer with a cable coming out into a phone and writing saying its downloading the update. when the progress bar reaches 100% all of a sudden kies shuts down and does nothing, nothing changes on my phone and my laptop just goes back to my home screen. I have tried doing the same thing on my friends laptop and i get the exact same results, kies gets to 100% then just shuts down??? This is my phone infomation - Model Number - GT-I9300 Android Version - 4.0.4 Baseband Version - I9300BVLE4 Kernel Version - 3.0.15-554502-user dpi@DELL161 #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun May 13 11:40:33 KST 2012 Build Number - IMM76D.I9300BVALE4. I've not found anyone else on XDA with the same problem but i've also read that i could update to jelly bean using Odin, would this void my warranty as i wouldn't want to do that because i've only had this phone for 2 weeks. Any help would be appreciated.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Motogp1:
I had the same problem.., I'm on orange too.

Right First off orange have not released jelly bean and are by far the worst network in the world for pushing out updates, the update Kies is telling you about is old from ics. 4.0.4

Kies is a pile of crap mine would do the same at 100% so I gave up after trying for several days.

Go to Sam mobile and download the latest stock unbranded rom (btu) for the UK flash it with odin, this will get rid of all the orange rubbish and give you freedom for future updates from Samsung. As it's official software it will not effect your warranty.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sten1234:
Thanks mate, i've downloaded the unbranded stock UK firmware from here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1646610 but it's a full version which is 780mb in size, if i installed this would i have to wipe everything first by doing a factory reset? i've watched the video on there and the guy does wipe everything because he wanted everything wiped but he didnt say you have to wipe, i would rather not wipe so that's why i'm asking this. If i was installing just an update to the firmware it would only be around 250mb in size, is there anywhere i can find just the 250mb add on instead of flashing the full version? as then i would be able to do it without wiping. Thanks again
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Motogp1:
Download 4.1.1 official for UK (btu) from Sam mobile.

You don't have to do a wipe/factory reset , I didn't and I kept all my apps , messages etc.

Back up everything just in case something goes wrong .
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paybakuk:
How did it go? I am very curious as I want to do this myself (On orange too in the UK) Wasn't sure if it was ok to do this on a carrier locked handset, and was unsure if id lose my data settings etc. Confused about CSC too. So, if you've managed it an update would be great.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sten1234:
Thanks mate it worked perfectly, no problems at all. i just flashed using odin without wiping and i now have jelly bean 4.1.1 working silky smooth with all apps and settings i had before, very happy :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paybakuk:
Cannot thank you enough, should have done this months ago!

Took 10 minutes, all my apps settings data everything ok.

Google now working fine.

Phone calls work fine showing EE network (Orange)

Download Odin v3.04

Download firmware GT-i9300 United kingdom (BTU) from sammobile dot com

& Put phone in debug mode.

Follow this tutorial.

We are looking for a “pay-as-you-go” integration on our solar lighting package. The technology works by using a scratchcard (similar to a phone card) to validate service by using SMS from a mobile phone and the resulting one-off passcode entered into the solar unit which causes it to operate for a period of time (typically a week). Can anyone explain how it really works or if they know anyone that can implement this application?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyleco:
I want to start by saying I'm no noob, I've been rooting/flashing/moding phones for years now. But im stuck.

My phone randomly rebooted a few days ago and would not boot back up. It would show the intitial Samsung 9300 boot screen and sit there.

I pulled the battery and tried to boot to recovery, but it would just stay at the Samsung boot screen. I am able to get to download mode, but computer will not connect. I've tried windows and ubuntu. Fresh installs and previously tried and succeded setups. All saw and communicated with my co-workers s3, not mine.

The most frustrating part is that Odin will recognize it but not flash. Errors with "no valid pit file" if I use the .pit file and repartion, it will hang at setup connection and eventually say cannot communicate. Similar experience with kies, sees it but can't communicate. (Kies was not installed with Odin)

Am I hard bricked here? Is there any way to fix(billable repair from Samsung even?)

I know there was an un-brickable mod for the galaxy s1. Anyone know who I could contact to send my phone to them to try to work out and un-brickable mod for this if I can't repair?

Thanks in advance, my head is starting to hurt at this point o_O

newSENSE, between JB builds
[EVO Shift 4G General] bilgerryan:
How is that working for you lol? To test your utility I'm assuming?
[EVO Shift 4G General] BigSplit:
I went back to NewSense for the last week or two, and will probably keep it for another week or two. It's been a while since I've been back on a Sense ROM, but I need to be on an older version of android for an app I'm working on for myself so I figured why not play with some Sense for a bit.
[EVO Shift 4G General] CNexus:
Umm...no...not really...

At first it was...then not

So basically, since about 3 weeks ago now, my phone will not give me S-OFF. Not manually, OR through my utility. I'm certain it's a hardware issue (there are other problems too) so I will be taking it to Sprint before the holiday's and then I will hopefully be back to making (and testing) my utility some more
[EVO Shift 4G General] prboy1969:
Mostly Supreme Sense, and SensuAOSP_CM7 for Daily :) . Then whatever I'm testing out that's new.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Chad The Pathfinder:
I change mine a bit. Lately I've been working on a project I'm calling Stock Mod. :) basicly its Strapped365's latest OTA stock ROM. I've been using it as a tool to learn more about android.

Edit: and its been a lot of fun too! :D
[EVO Shift 4G General] bilgerryan:
It's a good way to learn. I still have much to learn about Sense, starting to get a handle on JB... Finally.
[EVO Shift 4G General] strapped365:
I run RemICS on my shift and CM9 on my doubleshot. I stick to ICS, I have no need for JellyBean till more bugs are gone
[EVO Shift 4G General] bilgerryan:
There are only a couple bugs now, but I agree, ICS runs much better... Which is what I am going back to working on now that I am somewhat satisfied with how the last JB build turned out.
[EVO Shift 4G General] strapped365:
Their not ROM specific bugs, so its no shot at any JB dev. But JellyBean CM is so freaking laggy its not funny. My shift is virtually unusable for me ( I use long press of home to do tons of multitasking ) and the lag when switching is worse than having to open each app again after I kill it. Facebook sucks for JB and I feel its cause Google is trying to phase it out, which is cool to me I hate Facebook and it gets me in tons of trouble. The camera is cool ( swipe to album ) but even that seems wonky as ever. All I want to know is what happened to making something that 'just works'? I think CM done got to far ahead worrying about the next device that they railed code for older devices...way to go!
[EVO Shift 4G General] bilgerryan:
I fully agree, the JellyBelly project was just me trying to get JB to where it was somewhat usable. Now that I've done that, I'm done messing with that headache for now. Think I might update RemICS again and see if I can get some of the stuff from the JB ROM working on ICS.

V3 of your JB ROM on my Shift, and RaymanFX's stable CM10 on my TF101.

Almost afraid to try V4. V3 works so well - minimal lag, 900kbs download, ok...crappy camera, but I can live with that.
[EVO Shift 4G General] bilgerryan:
Camera is fixed I'm v4, it is definitely the best build by far. 900 kbs???? Holy Crap! Maybe you shouldn't switch lol.

[Galaxy Note II General] essamco:
Hello every one,

Today I found a fix for a problem happened to me because of having too many apps installed like over 600 apps.

the problem comes when you open an app needs to read your apps list like for example MyAppShare, when its run then its crash after loading,

because there is too many apps in the list and I face this problem with other apps which needs reading your apps list.

The exception was java.lang.OutOfMemoryError.

The fix for this issue is very simple but you need to root your device:

edit build.prop file and change

dalvik.vm.heapgrowthlimit=64m

To

dalvik.vm.heapgrowthlimit=256m

then save and restart your device

I used Rom Toolbox app for editing build.prop.

you will not face like this problem again.

Thanks.

hey great idea but on omega 7.4 with redpill kernel it results in a bootloop :(

[Galaxy Note II General] EdgaBimbam:
maybe after editing your build.prop file you got screwed build.prop file permissions?

thx for fast answer i reinstalled omega because it was not possible to check the build.prob

i edited it with rom toolbox pro

I have been having annoying issues with the up data arrow getting stuck on.

This can happen at least once a day, in various locations

When this happens, i have no data connectivity, and the only way to restore data is to toggle mobile networks on and off, and power cycle the device in some cases have been used to resolve the problem

this happens on many different ROMS, and different firmware versions as well.

I have run the RUUs several times, etc... nothing seems to be working to fix this problem.

This is on 4G as well.

Anyone else having this issue or could shed some light on the matter?

Thanks

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Britt77147:
Hello all. I was wondering if anyone had thought or attempted the following...

Currently I am using an HTC Evo 3D (CDMA). Hboot 1.50 S-off. Multi-booting ViperROM and team D.I.R.T.'s unofficial Jelly Bean AOKP. As most of you know in AOSP/AOKP roms the ##data# code(s) do not work and there is no Profile/PRL update anywhere in settings. I was looking at the Sprint Galaxy Nexus which is AOSP and realized there is a Update Profile and Update PRL option under "About Phone/Sprint System Updates".

Has anyone thought of (or succeeded) trying to pull these features out of a stock Galaxy Nexus ROM and incorporating them into other AOSP/AOKP ROMS?

Thanks.

Hi guys, I thought I'd start a thread to ask people what apps they found that sucks battery.... I'd start by saying Facebook app and Viber...

If you really want to know, without speculating, just download this free app called "Carat". It's like a one stop shop for power consumption analysis & optimization.

And also, keep an eye on the usage breakdown from time to time in Settings>Battery.

Regarding wakelocks, maps and bad wifi connections put on the longest shows, and can be quite annoying. Especially with Google now, network locator in maps can use lots of juice when in standby. Disable gnow or location services to fix.

Wifi wakelocks often have to be resolved by configuring your router. Disabling n mode altogether, or multi cast or wmm, often has a good effect on wifi wakelocks.

help needed to get my phone into usb storage to get all my stuff off. screen got crushed, and KNOW the digitizer is ok.

if some one can help me do this blind, i would really appreciate it.

details...

infamous resurrection 3.0 gangnam style, no themes or anything.

the phone works, i know for sure, as my audio still works.

from what i remember, when i plug in usb to computer, a notice comes up in the status bar. i would then pull down the statu bar, press the notice, then press the "turn on usb storage" button towards the bottom (portrait view). after that, a warning popped up about apps to sd not working.

if someone can "steer me" by giving me dimensions to the center of these buttons. i have done blind recoveries on windows pc's, but i knew what to press on the visible keyboard.

another way might be in cwm mount usb. if someone could give me a "count" of presses on the volume and power keys. using the 5.x.x.x branch dont remember if its touch or not.

or

is there an adb method, or sdk way?

thanks folks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Project: Awesome:
I think in cwm, you can go to mounts and storage then mount your USB storage. From there you can Mount and view all the files on the computer. Plus, your recovery uses the volume rockers so you should be good. From there, do what you need. Hope this helps

Look on google for Android screen cast. It will show your screen on your computer when you have it connected via usb. And if you have debugging on it will let you control the phone. I used that when my t959v's screen broke.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fg:
if you boot into cwm, adb is active and you can shell in and have at it.

if you need to go the cwm mount way, i can help, but would be more concerned of accidentallt causinf data loss

another option is video out with an mhl adapter

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] NightHawkUndead:
No. But it's a good speed.

You can check by going into settings, about phone, status and see what network type says.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] NightHawkUndead:
Example
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] RexEscape:
Correct. Not LTE, but fair speed for H+, arguably slightly faster than the typical 3G. You're getting the speed I used to get when I was on my SGSII (non-skyrocket) until I upgraded to the SGN2 with LTE here in San Diego.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] meat614:
Thanks. Its says im running LTE:14. So I guess the question now is why am I not getting lte speeds!?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] meat614:
Just ran another test, slightly faster speeds but you can see in the status bar it says 4g instead of h+.

Im running jellythunder perfect storm..which I thought h+ meant lte.

Ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] NightHawkUndead:
Ok. Than u are getting LTE. The rom u have just isn't showing show in your status bar.

Did u flash an international theme or something that may have caused this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] NightHawkUndead:
4G=LTE

H, H+ = HSPA (3.5G)

3G = UMTS

This means that when you are in LTE you won't see the LTE symbol but instead 4G.

Depending on the rom u are using of course. In order verify that your ROM is actually using LTE go System Settings --> About Device --> Status. Look under Mobile Network Type.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] meat614:
I am in a lte area and my status bar now says 4g which means lte. What are normal lte speeds? My last post was the speed test on the lte...that normal?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] bobbiac:
LTE = faux G as far as I am concerned.

AT&T is still on 3G .. its just 3G+. According to what I have read, LTE (and WiMax) was originally a "transitional technology." Then it was upped to 4G and HSPA+ is now a a transitional tech. Then some1 dumped a lot of money into an offshore account and transitional tech is 4G.

Cue the nerd rage at this point.

LTE Advanced (as well as WiMax v2 or whatever they were going to call it.) are 4G. These are some way away. With big V saying LTE deployment going into 2015, one could guess we won't see "pure" 4G until almost 2020.

Edit: LTE is 100Mb/s down AND up. LTE adv is basically gigabit. As far as the original spec, 4G = gigabit. So .. we aren't quite there yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] MRBULLRED:
You have me Lmao.... Don't sweat it, I did another speed test and it went down to 44Mbs. ;)

Hahaha wish we had that here 8mg down is fastest ive seen lol :beer::beer::beer:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] RojasTKD:
Well, the symbol at the top left says H+. So, no that not LTE, if it where it would say 4G.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] astang99:
But if its an international port than it says 4g, jedi states so in first post

haha .. nothing like downloading (theoretically) a DVD iso in under a minute.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Techweed:
I'd rather have the lower ping time and the lower bandwidth connection than the higher ping time and larger bandwidth connection.

The fact that your ping is so low makes me believe that you might be on LTE. But it could be an excellent 3G connection or whatever ATT likes to call it to make themselves feel superior. I've seen speeds that low however for LTE when the signal isn't very strong.
