Maybe you should just get a dumb phone as you obviously don't have the ability to safely root an Android. Or you could just be happy that they continue to give you replacement devices and pass those costs along to us in the form of higher fees and insurance rates.

Hey,

I was trying to install the latest JB update for my AT&T GSIII (UCDLK3) using the rooted insecure Odin file (the one that doesn't trip the counter). Before I had it, I had Serenity 1.2 installed on my phone. Everything was working fine, up until the point when I started using this rom. I had noticed that when I make calls, there would be an echo, but I didn't really notice it until I was using my bluetooth headset since there was a short delay. At the time, I had thought it was an issue with the Beats audio app that I installed, so I uninstalled it to no avail. After that, I tried resetting back to stock by re-reruning the Odin file. After that, the audio problem still persisted, so I tried installing the latest Sammy kernel (KT747), but even that doesn't work. I tried using the Odin file for two other phones, both without any audio issues. Does any one have any ideas what's causing this? Thanks in advance!

Hey there guys ive had my sidekick for about a year now and i recently tried to put cwm recovery on it, but i ended up bricking it which has happened before. So i did what i did before when i bricked it and tried to put it into download mode to use odin but for some reason it wasnt doing it so i had to put it into forced download mode which seemed to be fine and odin said it was finished. The issue is it wont come out of download mode now, has anyone else had this happen to them before? if so what did you do to fix it?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Jax184:
You mean you've unplugged it and pulled the battery, and it goes back into download mode when you turn it back on?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] pyropanda5:
Yes that is exactly what im saying.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] RicAndroid:
Have you tried doing it again but have repartition on as well?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] pyropanda5:
Im pretty sure i had that on ill try again in the morning and see how it goes. Also if this phone is permanently bricked it wont matter since im getting a galaxy nexus.

UPDATE: Well guys i tried again but now when i try and odin it after about an eighth of the way through the proccess it says FAIL! and the phones reboots back into download mode

When typing longer texts on Google Voice, the keyboard begins to lag. The first sentence or two is okay but as the text lengthens, the lag gets progressively worse. I was wondering if anyone else has this problem

Stock, unrooted
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RealMuphukkinG:
Im using a Verizon Samsung galaxy s3. Rooted. Unlocked bootloader. Stock Rom. Stock kernel. Not overclocked. Android ICS 4.0.4. SCH-I535

So Im sittin in my room and reached in pocket, pulled out phone, unlocked it expecting to see my home screen. Instead I see Google Maps running in the foreground showingme in my exact live location sittin my house. It wasnt just the stationary arrow, it moved it circles as I did. So I pul down my status bar only to find my GPS showing off. Then I went to my location services in my settings menu and it showed all three checked off as well. So I then go back to GMaps thinking that Allow Locations was on in the app and as well that was off....

At this point I didnt like what was going on so I opened up my fake GPS location spoof and spoofed my location to just down the street in a middle of a wash, just incase if there is anyone trying to spy my spot Im atleast going to send him on a goose hunt until I figure this thing out. GMaps verified tjat I was spoofed but still was a live track of me.

By this point I was was like hmmm.... So I opened up my Permission Explorer app and checked which apps have access to my location. None of em seemed out of the ordinary other than this app I downloaded the other night that could have been "suspicious" called space junk pro. So I then went to titanium backup pro and froze this app and still Im being shown a live feed of my location in Google Maps.

Im the type of person who strongly believes my freedom in privacy, especially with cell phones, and have never ran across this problem. Some people may call me a "conspiracy nut" but in fact I just want to find the truths about things.

Everything is basically turned off except my WiFi and my data. That means blue tooth, nfc, dlna, WiFi direct n all that good stufg.

Can anyone help me??? Do you think Im possibly being bugged or tapped?

GPS is obviously on because Im still spoofing my location.

I dont want to turn off the phone just yet because if it is a malicious program, it may turn on when the phone turns on but just be undetected.

Ill be sittin by my phone refreshing every few minutes or so in hope that one ya fine folks could be so kind and gracious to help. Thank you a lot in advanced.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Chadashcroft22:
It's just an app that is accessing gmaps. My phone does the same on wake up from sleep.

If you really are that paranoid you will have to remove each app one by one to find out what is accessing gmaps.

And if the one in a million chance "they" are tracking you what will "they" find? And do you think anything you could do would truely stop it? Think again; being paranoid is not worth the time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] buhohitr:
I think you may accidentally touch and launch the map app. If someone is tracking you, they don't need to open a map app, all you should see is the gps icon on the top of your phone. Just close the map app and if an app is some how triggered the map app should re open the map app. Most gps required apps don't need to open the map app, just the GPS.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sheamolt:
Someone's a little high...

But yeah, just an app that uses your location
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RealMuphukkinG:
Thank you for the replies.

I killed all apps, cleared ram. Opened GMaps again and then that GPS dot started flashing in my notification bar and so I quickly pulled down my status bar to see if GPS in the toggle was on and it wasnt, so I slid the status bar back closed and then my live location came up again. With no indication in the status of it veing on.

I believe there is a "them" out there and its not like they dont know where I live. I live in an area tjat has been around since the 70's for witness protection. I live in the same small town of the most notorious sherrif in the US. Thats besides the point though.

What Im trying to say is that my GPS is obviously running in the background at all times and I dont like it. Its showing me everything off, so if GMaps can access my live location when Im telling it no then something is wrong.

Im just lookin for some help. Thank you again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kench33:
Try a reboot?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] undarated:
Have you tried putting the phone in airplane mode??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RealMuphukkinG:
I get followed by people I have no idea what organization they are about and what they do is follow you around and keep tabs on you. Its called gang stalking. And if anyone of ya are interesred in the bible its been prophesised and talked about in the book of Enoch and Isiah 14. They are called the "watchers" or "nephilim"

And I think these dang watchers are running my GPS in the background and if any one knows of a way I could "freeze" my GPS or something, like frrezing an aop in titanium backup I would be grateful...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chupafaros:
Cool story bro
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] trikzal:
Okay seriously? You are on xda. If you are really THAT paranoid revert to a stock ROM and don't install apps that aren't needed. There is almost NO way "they" can still have the bug in your system if you wipe EVERYTHING. Sorry if I am coming off mean but you posted your question in the development section when your problem isn't even close to development related. You should have just waited for more people to reply rather than to go pissing people off like me. Again I am sorry if you I am coming off mean but it really wasn't necessary.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] masri1987:
"Everything is basically turned off except my WiFi and my data"

WiFi gives away your location
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RealMuphukkinG:
Thanks, I think its a cool story too haha..... wise guy

Just did a reboot. Everything is still off. Opened GMaps, same thing again. Live location.

I figure airplane mode would solve it sInce it stops all radio transmission, but I cant keep my phone like that cuz I wont get any calls.

Should I just spoof my location Everytime I leave my house... cuz Ive looked in the past to find ways to freeze my GPS but couldnt find anyway. And Im nervous to freeze it in titanium because its a system app and could permantly do something. I have a nandroid but I dont wanna have to restore my nandroid if I use my GPS like 2 months feom now, losing two months of stuff on my phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RealMuphukkinG:
Just turned off WiFi and tested it.

Now GMaps shows my live location with like a 5 mile radius of blue surrounding me. Lol.

Wtf. This shouldnt be happening, right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RealMuphukkinG:
Well look here Mr trizkl. I thought XDA is supposed to be courteous as this is a community. Im honestly not trying to piss any one off, ive been coming to this site for years and I know a lot of people are geniuses on here, so I figured someone could help. Ive been very polite this whole time while my phone is frustrating me.

Honestly, you could tell people to just factory reset on about 75% of the problems on this site, but the whole point is that Im trying to solve it without having to go to that extreme.

In my eyes, the GPS is always running in my background and there is no indication why it should be doing this.

To the rest of the folks, I apologize if Im getting you upset in any manner, its honestly not in any intentions to do so.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kench33:
With wifi it has a better lock than with data. There are no "watchers" searching for you. That would be ridiculous.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tylerholbrook:
You Are fuking crazy
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RealMuphukkinG:
True.

So just through my data, with permissions off and GPS off, GMaps never in the past had the ability to show live location.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kench33:
It gives a general location.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BattsNotIncld:
Just clear data for the Maps app in Application Manager. Your current location is probably stored in cache from your last GPS lock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RealMuphukkinG:
There is nothing general about the dot on exactly on where Im at, points in the same direction when I turn in circles, and moves with me everystep I take. Is there any way to freeze the GPS until I wantec to use it again?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] derf8966:
Turn around I'm behind you!!!!

If you don't want gps lock simply turn off data, Wi-Fi and of course GPS. After that you'll be able to lose those pesky watchers...lol and still receive SMS and phone calls.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] broprah:
Remove the battery from your phone and never use it again. It's the only way to hide. They are always watching.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RealMuphukkinG:
Okay I just removed the battery but realized I couldnt update you guys on whats goin on so I had to put it back in.

IS THERE ANY WAY I COULD GO INTO BUILD PROPERTIES AND CLOSE THE GPS PORT AND THEN TURN IT BACK ON WHEN I WANT TO USE IT?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kench33:
Freeze it.... You really should stop being paranoid. That's how is supposed to work
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] llama555:
If you use WiFi in a house its kind of obvious where you are... Data clearly knows where your phone is too... How else would it reach it... Its less accurate than WiFi and GPS tho

And mine does the same thing as urs... With only data on it shows an arrow and where I face... I literally do not care though. I'm not crazy
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DroidOnRoids:
Lol this is a little ridiculous. Your phone will need GPS for application use and to do daily functions (Navigation). Your phone is most likely not being hacked or tapped into by some low life hacker. If you are that scared that 'Big Brother' is watching you (which they can do for law enforcement or research purposes), just remove the battery and let the phone sit there as a paper weight. Other than that, the phone will transmit signals/information. You can't stop it.

Hmmm, this looks like a trusted source. Lemme show you that the government can track you via cell phone: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/larry-bodine/big-brother-is-definitely_b_1799521.html

IF there is some sort of 'tapping or hacking' going on, make sure you don't have some sort of malware on your phone because you downloaded Unknown Sources from the Internet. Better yet, just Odin back to stock and start fresh.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RealMuphukkinG:
To the gentleman who suggested I should go into airplane mode and test it.

I went into airplane, wiped cache inside GMaps and then started up GMaps again...

Still showed my live location, but has a small box underneath my arrow saying "showing location within 20 meters"

Im sorry guys, this just doesnt make any sense especially if Im in airplane mode and wiped the cache..... should I wipe the data as well in GMaps?

If theres a way to go into the build properties and dont want to post how on here, PM me if you who graciously have the time. Thank you everyone who is helping me through this process.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jcyoun33:
Seriously? This post is wasting server resources... Lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TechSavvy2:
Dude, I mean this in the kindest way, but if you don't want your location to show up on your phone, you just have to get rid of the smartphone. You can't turn all location sensing off. Here's what you're not realizing that many others are circleing around.....your phone will triangulate your location no matter what. It all started with emergency services. Cell signal is going to find you. So is wifi if you enable it, along with gps oviously. Turn off your gps, cell signal will still find you, its why it just shows as a much larger radius. Wiping data on your phone along with having it boot straight into airplane mode is pretty much the only way you will EVER get it to not show some sort of location, even in which case it probably still will. Even in this case, you can't ever turn anything back on or it (and they) will find you.

If you're uncomfortable with it, just put your phone down on the ground and walk away.....you should have thought these things through before upgrading to "smart" technologies.....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DroidOnRoids:
I don't think he can really resort to older technologies because flip phones have GPS too lol

May I steer you toward a different alternative?

This is to ensure that no body can track you down. I proudly present...

The tin can telephone!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RealMuphukkinG:
Okay, I understand what youre saying.

So when Im using GPS, WiFi, my data, and emergency services in on. The way this particular GMaps app work is through that order until I pull my battery..

The best bet is to spoof my location Everytime I leave my house
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] syoungblood95:

Ok so I've had my S3 Since Aug 20th, rooted was running the LH9 AT&T Rom with root injected (which I upgraded from the previous root injected rom LH1 or something like that), anyways today while messing with my homescreen wallpaper, trying to get it to set a wallpaper without cropping it, now it sort of after waking it up and getting passed the lock screen (the wipe lockscreen) the wallpaper seems to move, like for a sec its like moved to the side and part of the screen is black until the wallpaper "falls" back into place.. hard to explain. I read about flickering issues but I don't think mine is doing that, its just the wallpaper. Any ideas?

I uninstalled any wallpaper apps I had just in case, but still nothing works. I even made a wallpaper with the correct dimensions which I read for portrait is 720x1280 and still the wallpaper, the whole screen actually gets bumped to the side and you see black on one side until it bumps back into place.

Its really annoying. I am trying to grab a screen capture but it does it too fast, yet not fast enough that I can ignore it.

Did this again with ICS I updated to the JB rom for AT&T with root injected, stock rom hoping whatever it was would go way... it did not.

Anyone else see this? Have this happen?

I even went back to a stock wallpaper to see if it would stop but still it continues.

Really confused as to why its doing that.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] typedink:
Here is a screen cap of what I mean.

Happens when passing lock screen, coming out of an apparently, anytime I get to home screen.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] wujiku:
did you try reinstalling the rom? either just wipe dalvik and cache, if that doesnt work. reflashing after fully wiping. make sure your download is correct.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] typedink:
Reinstall using Odin?

Its odd because it just started today, I'd had the same stock image for months. JB update didn't cause it. It just didn't fix it.

I dont think it's the rom but no clue what it could be.

I don't got a custom loader. How can I wipe dalv and cashe without one?

* Boots

* Touchscreen

* Lights

* Bluetooth

* Sound

* Camera

* GSM / Data? (Sim Reader broken)

i'd been coincidentally looking at your git just a couple of nights ago, from how i remembered you were so good for the hd2 & ics back then - and where had you disappeared too?!

i've been doing ParanoidAndroid compiles for sg n7100, which are easy, ..but the hd2 of course doesn't have a complete hd2 /devices tree so doing PA compile from start to finish didn't seem possible.

do you think a PA compile would work with your hd2 devices tree? ..maybe with some configuring of makefiles, etc
