/sys/android_touch/vendor (open it as a text file)

That tells you the make of your touchscreen. First step to seeing if it is compatible at all.

And you can't just make CM for another device work for yours by replacing a few files. It has to be ported to your device or compiled from source with all the right drivers and binaries. This requires a lot of developer knowledge, which you don't seem to have judging by your questions. So don't go messing around changing files in ROMs and trying to make them work. If you're really interested, learn about porting and compiling from source.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] HiTideBlastoise:
Let me start off with saying sorry if this is the wrong thread/forum to locate this:

I have an upgrade with AT&T that I can use and I am highly interested in the Galaxy S3, however I am more cautious than my last upgrade because I previously upgraded to the Nokia Lumia 900 and just a few weeks later, they released no windows 8 upgrade, etc for it. I am worried that if I plan to get the S3 somehow I will miss out on the next S4. I guess what I am asking is should I wait or go ahead with the upgrade. I am interested in it now, because I can get it for 149.99 and get a free $50 dollar credit to the google play store. Any advice would be great, thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] d3athsd00r:
The S3 is a great phone with really good dev support. The S4 hasn't even been announced yet so that means it's going to be over 6 months before the US ever sees it. If I were you I would get the S3 now. At $150 +$50 play store credit that is a pretty decent deal.

We just got 4.1 jellybean and 4.2 (I think) is looking promising, hopefully. I mean, we still have approximately a year left of support from Sammy.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] HiTideBlastoise:
I am really tempted to, because I've fallen in love with android, I got interested when I bought a S2 skyrocket of ebay and really am enjoying it. That's good news about 4.2, it looks awesome.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Florad77:
Wait for s4 its comin in april
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Gordonson:
If any kind of SIV is releasing in April, it would be the international version, and even that is highly unlikely.

An announcement of the international version might come in April, but I highly doubt that the U.S variants will be in stores before June at the earliest.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] laserlight959:
I've been enjoying the GS3 for half a year now; excellent phone. As others have said, the S3 won't go obsolete anytime soon. If you can, see if they have the Nexus 4. Really digging that one :D
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] d3athsd00r:
Ive heard bad things from a few people about the N4. Mainly build quality and battery life for starters.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] laserlight959:
Really??? Then again, I've just been reading reviews and haven't actually seen someone with an one. But from what I see, the build quality looks excellent... only downside is the inability to change the battery/back cover at ease. Not sure about the battery life though :S

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] madmax49201:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Gordonson:
May I ask how?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kgbkny:
If that's the case, I will most definitely not be purchasing it. I can only imagine the update delays when there are multiple carrier variants floating around. In fact, I think I'm done with carrier-branded phones altogether. As noted by another user, the GS3 is not going to become obsolete any time soon, so I may just hold out until the next Nexus, in hopes that it'll come with LTE. ::fingers crossed::

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] legasus233:
I recently flashed a number of Jelly Bean roms, MeanBean, Stock w/goodies, to name a few and am noticing the proximity sensor issue plaguing my phone (screen shuts off as soon as call is initiated, and then won't come back on unless the power button is pressed and I can see the proximity light is stuck on). After doing some research, I cannot seem to find a fix for this and it appears to be a Jelly Bean issue as this never happened when on earlier roms, seeming to ruling out a hardware issue. I decided to try to flash back to Viper 2.02 as I had relatively good luck with that rom as far as stability, performance, battery life, etc. However, when I flash the Viper 2.02 rom, all seems well but my wifi will not turn on, it just gets stuck saying "turning on wifi. " Also, my phone does not recognize any media on my sd card (music, videos, photos). I am currently s-off with dirty racun and am wondering what is causing these issues. I have wiped fully, reflashed, redownloaded, over and over and nothing fixes this. Anyone have any input??

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rvmedina20:
Is it possible to install the USB drivers without NVFlashing again??? I have smoother_bean rom installed and everything works just fine, except that when I connect my gtab to my PC it only recognizes it as a APX device with a Yellow triangle with exclamation mark. Thanks for help!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nobe1976:
Even out of APX mode you have to use the same drivers that are in the NVflash package. Just connect the tablet up and have it booted up in either the ROM or Recovery and then guide your driver installation to the same folder you used installing the APX drivers. In the ROM you will have to have USB debug turned off for some reason in order to install the generic MTP drivers explained in the DRH tread. Most of my transfers are done in recovery or via USB flash drives. Also I run Ubuntu and not Windows and the drivers are not needed. Last time I ran Windows XP I used those same steps, but couldn't get MTP to work until switch my OS to Ubuntu (Linux).
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rvmedina20:

[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iblackford:
Hi All,

I have a GT-I5801 that I received as a gift from relatives. It was purchased in Hong Kong,

Baseband version: I5801ZHJP3

The phone works ok with the stock build, however I can't get above edge speeds as the baseband/radio doesn't support the 3G frequencies used in canada. Through searching this forum I found I5800LVIJG8 that is supposed to be for North America. Does this mean that a version of the 5800 existed that supports north american 3G frequencies? If so, are there actual hardware differences? I also read of users having I5800L or I5800D's and using them in Canada. Are these versions with the suffix different hardware versions to support the different 3G frequencies?

Lastly, if I5800LVIJG8 does support 3G, it is a froyo ROM. I have read that there are differences in the baseband files between Froyo and Gingerbread, making them incompatible. Are there other options? Will other gingerbread or ICS based roms such as Cyanogenmod work with a Froyo baseband?

Thanks for your help, it would help me make this otherwise crippled phone useful if I could get 3G on it.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Slie:
It been a while sense I've messed with this. I have two galaxy nexus one is pretty tore up so I've been using it to charge my batteries. My good one will not charge even after micro usb port swapping.

The one that won't charge my batteries: I don't know why it won't charge. I swapped the hardware. It all started when I flashed slim over I think it was Kang. While I was on Kang(I think it was that one at least) I messed with some advanced battery settings and forgot or didn't think it metered switching them back. I can only assume this is the culprit.

It will recognize the AC charging but it will not charge or it will only De charge my batteries. If anyone can suggest anything please let me know.

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 063_XOBX:
What do you mean "swapped the hardware"?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Slie:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 063_XOBX:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Slie:
Copy that,
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Slie:
Ended up swapping the main board, micro usb worked just fine
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] doctor_evil:
I've got one that is doing the exact same thing. It connects to the PC ok, and shows the charging symbol but when you check under status it shows as not charging.

I took it completely apart, cleaned the logic board with a soft bristle toothbrush in case it had any thing that might be causing it to short, and even replaced the usb charging port flex cable.

I have noticed that when I plug it into the usb ports on my HDD docking station that it makes a low barely audible static like sound. my other working Galaxy Nexus doesn't do this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] doctor_evil:
OK an update to this, if I run the factory Jellybean 4.1.2 image or CM10 it still shows the charging symbol and shows as not charging in the status info, but if the phone is left alone the battery does charge. If I run the 4.2.1 or 4.2.2 factory image or CM10.1 it doesn't charge unless the phone is turned off.

very bizarre.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmaag:
That is somewhat odd that it will trickle charge yet. That usually is indicative of the usb flex being bad ... that or a bad charging cable but i assume that you have tried that already. Do you have data connectivity yet on this device? Usually you lose that when something like this happens, at least when it has for me. Do you flash the factory image via fastboot or odin ... You could try to odin it to ensure that everything is stock. But since your bootloader is charging that kinda rules out hardware especially since you said that you have changed it already. Only other thing i can think of is a kernel issue but that would be taken care of when flashing stock if you flashed via bootloader.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JaymzPhoenix:
Hi All,

I've been really happy with my Galaxy S3 until I decided to flash a new Cyanogen Mod nightly build onto it. After the update my touchscreen stopped working but the soft buttons still work. I done a bit of reading on XDA and found it could be the digitizer that has faulted.

I've reflashed all the original ROM's and Firmware. When going into download mode in now reads

Customer Binary Download: Yes (4)

Current Binary: Samsung Official

System Status: Official

I want to take it back to Vodafone to see if they can repair it but I need to get the flash counter back to 0. I know Triangle Away can do this but as the screen doesn't work I can't get past the unlock screen once it turns on to install and use it.

Is there anyway to reset the flash counter without getting into the phone e.g. via Odin?

Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

hello guys, so i bring this verizon phone to Indonesia and use local operator with help of some apps, i'm rooted and using 4.0.4,

lately i got this problem says "com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly" when trying to call, but i still can text and received calls well, i do all the tricks about deleting sync, etc, nothing worked, the only thing that could help is factory reset, so i reset it. After a few days the problem show up again. Instead of posting question in this forum i accidently deleted the phone file from titanium back up, now even after factory reset i can make any call and the problem seems spread.

i havent made any recovery, so i pretty doomed, i havent touch android since milestone 1, i really need your help for this,

1st, how to bring back my phone with all apps and component 100% work

2nd, i still cant found answer for "com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly"

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] FineTalent:
I have the same Koodo phone from you. In regards to returning your phone... you would have to check the return policy of the store. In the event you are able to return it, there is a possibility that they may not fix it for you. Reason being is that you have 'flashed' something on to your phone which may have changed the 'flash counter', which in that case if a technician were to see that they would not do anything as it has void your warranty.

Hopefully, you will be able to do an in-store-exchange if everything goes... just make sure to provide a legitimate excuse.

It doesn't hurt to try using a USB Jig, there is a great chance of it working. Doing so you will be able to get in to 'download mode' and this time flash the proper, I recommend stock Koodo ROM to your phone.

For future note, please, be extra-careful when doing anything that involves flashing custom ROMs/files to your phone. By making a mistake (which you have currently done) you are the one at fault here. Especially knowing that it's your first time doing so on with this particular phone.

Good luck!
