Never updated by Kies before in my 6 months using this phone lol. You might wanna connect to Kies and check. Sometimes the OTA doesn't push through
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
If your phone codes match the firmware on the server you get it .

If you no longer have matching codes due to flashing stuff and then trying to revert to the Samsung route basically you are wasting your time .

Yeh I am. Oh I thought whenever you did a flash through Odin it factory resets it?

But still - I don't get why I can't update ota.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gingerneil:
Nope - only when you unlock the boot loader. So if you've done that already, you're fine.

I'm on dlj4 too - I can't see a 4.1.2 update that corresponds to this - can I use another? I'm unlocked and rooted.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WTVTom:
[RESOLVED]

I had to update the CSC to BTU using CSC select from the play store. Common problem when flashing BTU firmware with Odin apparently - defaults to Kor which prevents OTA from appearing.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
No. You just said Cyanogenmod does it, which could of implied

A) On the CM ROM, charging LED works for me. You had no mention about having it built in, I elaborated. No need to be all defensive ;)

B) LightFlow

OP had no mention of using a app. so therefore A would of been the default instinct

Okay then. I was being too vague, you win.

As far as I know, you need Light Flow to do it. I've been running CyanogenMod on my phone since I got it so I don't know about stock.

UPDATE:

Spot the noob. I had an afterthought after pretty much exhausting all other options. I had stopped a few apps from booting at startup.

Turns out thats exactly what was preventing my sms from being sent. Doh! Lesson learnt.

Is there a list thats shows background apps and their purpose is? / what's safe to disable etc

Ok so I had PA 2.54 on my i9300 (xxdlid) for a month or so there and sms were functioning normally when all of a sudden they stopped sending. I was still recieving sms but none would send. I don't get an error message - sms just continualy say sending.

So I thought maybe this is a small bug or something so I'd tried WanamLite v5.2 - but I am still encountering the same problem.

I have checked my message centre number & network status - both are fine. I also tried my friends sim in my phone (who can send sms fine through his stock s3) and they still wouldn't send.

Any idea's guys? Any help at all would be much appreciated!!?

Is there any bit of software that I could use to test that the 'radio' / hardware is functioning correctly?

Cheers

Hello Everyone. I'm in need of help here. I have been searching the forum for 5hours to solve my problem, sadly, none has worked.

I can see my external storage on setting>storage but somehow I cannot access it using file explorer. The external_sd directory are visible using ES file explorer but sadly, I cannot move file into it. I had formatted it into ntfs but failed, then back to fat32 but both are not working. When connected to PC via USB cable the PC cannot detect the SD card. The card are working well in my other phone.

My device: Galaxy Note N7000

Rom: [ROM][AOSP][JB][4.1.2][JZO54K] SuperNexus - N7000 - BUILD 5 [17-10-12]

Kernel: MaxFu HydraCore v7.5 STD

Sorry for my bad english. :)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
Do a nandroid backup of the current rom and try installing an ICS rom and check if the external sd is ok. Many JB has issues with external SD if not flas d correctly.

If ok on ics. Do a clean install if the rom again and then you can restore your data later
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abrahamlincoln:
Thanks man. It works. But it seems that the card transfer rate are a bit slow. is it have something to do with rom or kernel?

In mtp mode, it could be slow. Try in mass storage mode.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] deanwray:
Ok I'm developing an app with target of 4.2.1 and came across some odd behaviour. I think I have narrowed it down to a bug in the default keyboard in 4.2.1

I would just like others on 4.2.1 to confirm this for me so it's not me being either dense or stupid.

Bug: User input in text fields gets duplicated.

Apparent on : Devices : gnex and nex7

Affects : my App, other 3rd party apps from play, stock messaging app and contacts app. (But not the calendar)

Steps to produce:

-1. Have auto rotation turned on and be in portrait mode

1. Open messenger app (SMS)

2. New message.

3. Click on the input text area to bring up keyboard (kb must be stock one)

4. Enter something like "testyeeee"

5. (Important) minimize the keyboard with left soft key (down arrow)

6. Rotate to landscape

The result on all of my dev devices on 4.2.1 and AVD is the test is duplicated

This is a bug with the default android keyboard holding some kind of buffer and link to the text input view, so when a state/config change occurs the read of the text field is also appended with the kb buffer. (As is my guess)

I posted here so that I can get confirmation from the forum section most likely to be on 4.2.1
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] callmewind:
Me too

I can confirm this bug. It also happens in Whatsapp.

It happen to me many times writing in whatsapp but I couldn't figure out how to reproduce it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] deanwray:
tbh most 3rd party apps will have this bug, those that dont I need to contact the dev and ask what black magic they are using as a workaround to implement in my app :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Min3r:
This appears to be a bug with the Android System itself and not the Keyboard as I just tried this on a port of Jellybean 4.2 Keyboard on a Sony device in multiple apps... Hope it helps :) Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] deanwray:
Cheers but do those ports have the stock keyboard? If not what kB were you using?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Min3r:
The file I used is a 12,647KB apk LatinIMEGoogle.apk along with 1 lib file libjni_latinimegoogle.so. I am not sure where I found it but I remember reading "extracted" in the thread, so I think the original author, not sure who, has not made any changes to the apk himself.. Best way to see would be to push those 2 files from a Nexus into an ICS or Jellybean 4.1 device and see if it can run it,then do the check for the bug :p ( I dont have the Nexus system dump myself to check but Ill be happy to test it if you can upload the 2 files here ;) )
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] deanwray:
Sound like that's just the stock on that I thought no has the bug
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] deanwray:
Easy way to tell get a 3rd party kB from play .... You shouldn't have it then :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Min3r:
Dont have a 4.2 device here dude :( Have a tiny Xperia U with 4.0 :( Since the Keyboard works without issue for me, it should be 4.2.. Again, yo'll have to wait till someone with a 4.2 device checks it out :p (Or till someone takes pity on me and gifts me a Nexus :D ;) ) Sorry I cant be of much further use for now :(

Ps : Saw your post in App Tester Index. Maybe give an update there to situation to get a faster test done ?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] evil_penguin:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Eric Z:
Confirm on my GN with Yakju 4.2.1. But not sure this is a bug on 4.2.1 or 4.2 only or it's generally on all Android.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Min3r:
I tried it on my Android 4.0.4 with the Jellybean 4.2 keyboard. And no issues, so its limited to 4.2 or 4.2.1.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blackhand1001:
Whenever the keyboard opens in 4.2 there's a huge delay before the app resizes. In 4.1 and 4.0 it would do it immediately. In 4.2 it waits like a half a second. This may be part of the issue. This alone is kind of annoying. It occurs on third party keyboards as well. It has to do with 4.2 and not the keyboard itself.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] .mIX:

Hey I'm having issues with Facebook n Many Apps saying network error on 3G as well as WiFi

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Currant:
auto correction

I guess it has something to do with auto correction. If I turn off all auto correction features including the feature which shows word suggestions above the keybord (do not know how it is called in English), switching from portrait to landscape works as expected.

Also, if you type in "test " (i.e. test followed by a blank), it will not work because then auto correction will be applied / finished (because obviously you start typing a new word).

With a custom rom you can add any widget into lockscreen. For example you can add the widget of messages and you can see your sms into lockscreen. This solution it's ok for you?

[General Questions and Answers] pgorod:
Hi everyone!

I was wondering if someone could please advise me on how to backup my data so I can root my phone.

I have a Nexus S with stock Android 4.1.1, tons of apps and configurations, etc.

I want to root my phone, but I'm not necessarily (for now) going to install any custom rom. I just want some extra access, and ability to install root apps (one of them is Titanium Backup!)

Most of the posts here about backups are centered on people who switch roms often and are concerned with frequent and complex backup/restores.

I just want a safe and thorough ONE time backup procedure so I can save everything, root the phone (which I believe requires deleting everything), and get it back to the exact state where it was (except now it's rooted).

Basically, I need Titanium Backup to backup, so I can root the phone, but a rooted phone is a requirement for Titanium Backup, so I am stuck! :)

I know my Google account info will transfer easily (contacts, mail, calendar), what about the rest of the stuff: launcher options and screens, third party apps, etc? How can I back it up?

Thanks in advance!
[General Questions and Answers] Pennycake:
You will just follow the same procedure that those other people you described would. It's exactly the same.

You don't have to wipe your phone to root it - so just follow a rooting guide and install a custom recovery if that's what you want.
[General Questions and Answers] pgorod:
Thank you for your help.

I'm afraid I am new to all this and I still get a bit confused with some of the concepts...

If you say I don't have to wipe my phone to root it, then that's what I want to try next, it sounds like what I need.

I have seen several guides that clearly state rooting will wipe all data from the phone (like this one: http://theunlockr.com/2010/12/17/how-to-root-the-samsung-nexus-s/ , see item I-2).

Is this one a good option, should I complete all steps in the first post here?:

[General Questions and Answers] Pennycake:
I've never had that phone, so I can't say for sure - but that xda link looks like what you need. I'd read through the thread a bit, see what people are saying - if they had any issues with data loss or anything.

I'd back-up what you can no matter what.

Not sure if you'll have to unlock the bootloader in order to do that first step in the link - so it's possible you'll have to lose data, I don't know - I've never had a phone where the bootloader needed to be unlocked before anything else. I did have to wipe a phone before, and though it was a pain, it was worth it since I only had to do it once - after that it was all set and barring major trouble, would be backed-up and fine.

Dear all experts. My phone recently lost its vibration. I set incoming calls to vibrate but it never vibrates. Causing to to miss calls. Also keypad vibration and softkey press vibration is also not working.

However, once in a while out of the blue, the phone vibrates when i press back key for 2 to 3 times, then vibration does not work again.

Is it because of me installing custom rom making some vibration control files corrupted?

Previously I am on viper rom now switch to Qiss Me also the same. I thought it is rom issue but it seems it is not now. Can anyone help? appreciate it :crying:

All the ROMs I tried have the same issue. Now I experiment with my phone, its due to hardware problem after I drop to ground the other day. I can get back vibration if I hit my phone on my bed. But disappear after vibrate for a few time. Connection loose I suppose. So sad.

I think you are misunderstanding some things.. You must first root your phone with cf-root AND THEN, you must flash the Rom with the specified kernel. But you can take a shortcut by flashing siyah kernel. You don't need to rely on baseband version.

4> install g apps..

5> install siyah kernel via recovery (the zip.)

6> reboot...

cool enough? should i proceed?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kenrokks:

You have to be running an ics stock rom and then root it.

Afterwards you can then proceed to flash CM10.1.

-then wipe and clear the cache..

- reboot.

now am i going correct?
