Hello,

can anybody help. I just did an update to the nightly 20121221 and my login screen turned to 3x3 whereas I had 4x4 configured.

And now I cannot log in because the pattern is not recognized.

What should I do?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zephyr_blues:
Only the 3x3 is supported under Android 4.2 apparently. If I remember correctly, after a number of misses you get the option of unlocking the device using your gmail account...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twinkybot:
I do not get the message to unlock. It just gets locked for x seconds. Furthermore the WiFi got disabled and I didn't find any solution to turn it on.

By the way I have Cyangonmod 10.1.

We're still stuck where we cannot send video or photos over a standard text, I always have to download some alternative that never works to be able to send something that doesn't say there is a max file limit. Like why can't it just send through 3G? I have unlimited data, just so annoying that I have to go to the trouble of uploading the thing somewhere else and then sending a link and then they have to go to the trouble to of doing the same.

What really annoys me is where are text message games? They still don't exist...

There is one game for the PC called Frozen Synapse, it's basically like chess where you send your moves in at the same time and then you see the results. The beauty of it is you can send your move in and someone can do it whenever they want. The game isn't played in real time and then you have games like chess where it is one move and then theirs... like why can't we play these games over text message apps?

I know you can download separate apps but it is such an effort to get someone to play a game that way. It would be so easy and seamless to have it built into where you text, so you can send a text like pick up the milk on the way home but also your move in a turned based game.

I'm just so bored with how the software side of things just isn't innovative, it seems stuck like 5 years in the past.

Cell providers want everyone to use data instead. Back when I had only a basic phone, I used to use Dotgo, which serves some website content over texts. I would use it to get the weather, sports scores, and news headlines. It was actually a pretty nice service and is still around. Smartphones have made a lot of the stuff you describe obsolete.

It would be nice to modernize texting to allow for longer messages, better muitimedia support, etc but with all of the legacy devices out there (especially non smartphones) it wouldn't be easy to implement new features.

might be this a reason

since what all the msg can be counted and while data it cannot be counted that much and also it provides more bucks than the msg
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chriv:
I have a toro/i515/Verizon Samsung Galaxy Nexus (the CDMA/LTE one) running a mostly stock (but rooted and with busybox) Jelly Bean JRO03O (Android 4.1.1).

I screwed up my build.prop (and can't boot normally), so I attempted to boot into CWMR 6. To my surprise, cold booting holding the Vol + button started to proceed with a normal boot. So I cold booted with the Vol - button held.

And that shocked me even more. I'm staring at ODIN Mode. WTF? When did ODIN get on my phone? What happened to the bootloader where I could select booting into recovery, or the bootloader, or normal booting?

I've been scouring Google and this forum, and many other forums, and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to boot this thing into a custom recovery so I can fix my build.prop through adb.

I'm at a loss. I suck at using ODIN (I only started using it recently when I bought my GTab2 10.1 GT-P5113).

How am I supposed to hack my phone when I can't use ADB, fastboot, or a custom recovery (booting normally hangs also)?

The only thing I don't want to do for a repair is a full wipe. I don't have a way of backing up my data without ADB.

I've tried enclosing various boot, bootloader, and recovery images (img files) into tar files (archives) and sending them to the phone via ODIN using the PDA and/or the BOOTLOADER button(s). I've tried to see if Wug's Toolkit would talk to my phone via ODIN.

Nothing seems to change.

Help!!! Please!!!

Any of the following will do:

1. Tell me how to get adb working.

2. Tell me how to revert ODIN back to the normal boot/bootloader (that works with fastboot) - this would be best. ODIN sucks.

3. Tell me how to get to my files via ODIN.

Please help. This sucks.

*sheepish grin* - I forgot about holding BOTH Vol + and Vol - at the same time while cold booting.

(I can at least get into fastboot mode now)...

The very same thing happened to me today.

Odin recognizes it but fails at flashing.

Fastboot works and boots into cwm recovery....but it wont boot into android...

What should I do...?

SOLVED

After posting the above, I meant to indicate that this thread could be closed. I knew exactly what to do now that I could finally get into fastboot.

Maybe ODIN was on my phone all along, but I could almost swear that I used to get into fastboot by holding Vol - while cold booting, and that I could get into recovery by Holding Vol + while cold booting. I don't remember ODIN being there at all.

Anyway, the bottom line:

Fastboot loads with Vol + AND Vol - held down while cold booting.

I was able to reflash boot, bootloader, and custom recovery with fastboot.

I was able to boot into custom recovery from fastboot.

Once CWMR 6 was running on my phone in recovery mode, I was able to mount /system from the recovery menu, to use adb to pull /system/build.prop, to edit it, to use adb to push build.prop back to /system, and finally to use adb to change permissions on build.prop back to 644.

Am I crazy? Was ODIN always on my VzW GNex?

Was it always loaded when holding Vol - down during a cold boot?

Or were the Vol - and Vol + buttons (individually) originally used for booting fastboot mode and recovery mode?

If I had forgotten that, then I haven't be hacking my phone enough, as I haven't been in fastboot in a long time. ;)

question/comment to old post

This is an old post I'm responding to but my A500 has been bricked for over a year. I just read, click the lock button and when I did, on the screen is "Bootloader v0.03.12 ICS:: Starting Fastboot USB download protocol and found a related post referencing "Odin". I, too, want to know how that got onto my tablet. Perhaps from the update.zip? Now I can't find any relevant information nor files to download which aren't corrupt or tampered with. Can someone perhaps take a moment to outline a plan of action for me and the significant files? I will gladly "donate" to whomever and by "time". Thx (little grey haired old lady) Smiles4Miles, VMD

Posted in Apps section, but I thought I would throw this on General do get the people that might not go over there.

I've had this phone for about 2 weeks, not counting the one week....never mind.

I literally got a huge cramp...I think it's tendonitis, in my main phone hand, from trying to contort to this phone. I am a fervant one-handed user, and I've finally got my phone to a place where I can do about 90% of what I need to do....One of the main apps I utilized is Virtual Button Bar StoreLInk or another softbutton app.. It's basically a set of soft buttons accessible via a small screen overlay on the edge of your screen.

It changes the way I set up my phone because my hand basically stays in one position. So I keep my home clustered.

It works for great for me...but it's going to take a while to get rid of this tendonitis. I'll report back.

Update: I'm now recommending button savior ...

More control...more options....I actually use both.....I have one set one each side so I can have thimbfriendly control for both hands

Swipepad is better in my opinion and it's free.

swipepad is good. Great way to have everything on your homescreen hidden.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Haloman800:
I don't see how pressing the home button a few times every once in a while could give you anything as "serious" as tendonitis, seeing as the majority of smartphones had physical buttons until around 2011, and when you compare the big easy-to-press Galaxy Note button to the tiny, hard buttons of the Droid X, I don't see how anyone could be complaining, and you wouldn't catch me dead sacrificing one millimeter of this glorious HD screen for anything that can be accomplished by the fabulous buttons protruding the edge of my display.

I noticed that pressing bezel at certain points and battery cover makes a click sound, then I came across a solution for battery cover by one of users here: putting a business card between battery and cover, it works and makes it completely silent.

So I think this space between battery cover and battery and those points on bezel might be noisy/bad implemented solutions to avoid cracks on bezels which are wide spread among Galaxy S2s and S3s (they appear out of nowhere and seem to be due thermal expansion & contraction)... Does anyone agree? Any ideas?

I noticed this because I constantly remove my battery to do a swap and charge it externally. There was another post about this recently that I posted in. I resolved the problem by replacing my bezel/frame. I had some small scratches and a ding on it from my desk so I felt compelled to make it look new. I noticed the small plastic tabs that the battery door connects to are fragile and break off from constant removal of the door.

The bezel was around $20 with a new battery door with NFC, not to mention only taking 15 minutes.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaRacerz:
Hello,

I wanted to get your guys opinion as I believe my phone may have turned defective and I really don't want to go down the Warranty Route as I'll loose the phone for weeks. And willing to try anything suggested.

So here's the problem:

Battery Draining at very high rates. On stock battery, I am draining about 12% an hour, after 6 or so hours my 15% battery capacity left warning turns on. I figured it was the battery, so bought a double capacity 4200mAh Hyperion Battery. Now my battery drain is at 6% an hour (which is equivalent to the factory battery considering the double capacity).

I am currently on XXELKC 4.1.2 Stock ROM. When I first noticed the problem, I was on 4.1.1. Figured I would ODIN, Wipe all cache's, and start clean. This has made no affect on battery life.

Here's what I've tried:

- 4.1.1, 4.1.2 Stock ROMs from Wipe - High Drain

- Airplane Mode with Location Services Disabled - High Drain, but 4.5% an Hour instead of 6% an Hour.

- Disabled all Samsung Apps - seemed to have little impact

- Disabling Google Now has made zero impact on battery life.

- 4.1.1 BBS revealed nothing - may need to try again on 4.1.2

Any ideas? Or is this sounding like the phone? Is it possible after a wipe the phone, when I re-enter my Google Credentials it is restoring some data which is defunct and causing high drain?

Note: Screen shots are with the double capacity battery taken right after a clean Odin upgrade to 4.1.2. Only ran Android Activation and thats it.

I had similar issues, I factory reset worked, and I also download rescan media root app to disable the media scanner which was my main battery killer.

WHen you do the factory reset make sure your phone is connected to the internet, so it will prompt google to store the apps you have and remote install when you sign back into the phone.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaRacerz:
I have performed a full wipe but that had minor impact on battery life but I wounder if the Google Restore possibly restored an invalid setting. I will try this again without entering my credentials and see if there is a link with a restored setting. I will have to give the rescan media app a try as well.
