[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mjsierra:
I've searched all over for this and I haven't found a solution. I've even decompiled APKs and deodexed the bluetooth odex searching for some clue on any way to change this, but I haven't found anything.

I've actually found a workaround in my particular case, but I'm still curious as to why this is happening and how no one has noticed...

So my Galaxy S3 will not pair with a bluetooth SPP device that has no passcode. I've paired with devices that support SSP without a passcode, but I can't pair with insecure devices. The reason I am trying to do this is because I need to stream GNSS data to a GPS receiver. The receiver is a Navcom SF-3040. For anyone searching, the workaround was to change to the PIN on the device to something other than "no pin". It was a pain in the ass though considering I can't find any 64 bit driver for this receiver and had to find a 32 bit Windows PC to use.

But my question still remains and I'm curious if anyone knows anything about this. After I successfully paired my phone with the receiver, I deleted the profile off my phone and I deleted the PIN from the receiver again just to reset it and see if it would work, but it didn't. The phone would still ask me for a PIN even when the device didn't have one, and there's no option to continue without inputting a PIN. Inputting any standard PIN like "0000" or "1234" didn't work. The only way to pair my phone with the receiver was to set a PIN for it.

ATT mobile insurance is $7 per month. But the deductible for the i317 is $200.

Do you think it is worth it to have? is ATT's replacement policy similar to that of Apple for instance. meaning with 100% satisfaction rate or do they give people hard time before replacing any device.

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] LittleRedDot:
I had them replace my note twice for charging port issues, they never gave me any grief. In fact they send a brand new device the second time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Gvndeb60:
It is hard for me to pay those crazy fees now for insurance. I would compare Squaretrade, at least that has a capped rate(one time fee vs monthly).

Here is the kicker for AT&T that they don't always tell you: no matter what is wrong with the phone, after 12 months you pay the $199 deductible. So you paid $8x12 months(or more) and the phone fails to power on but has ZERO damage, you are still required to pay the $199 deductible. That is $296 minimum @ 12 months. Squaretrade is upfront fee of around $100(they offer coupons so it varies look on Facebook) and a deductible of $100(I think).

You need to do the math to see if it is worth it for you. I personally will never pay those fees again bc they are wasted if you don't use it. Your screen is the most likely thing to repair and odds are I can repair it for less than $200. Basically around the same amount of money but I only spend it if needed. Also, do not forget that there is now a real out of contract replacement available: Nexus 4. Once the back order is caught up in a month or two you would be able to get a high end replacement device for 299 or 349, again only spending money if you need to vs spending it every month regardless.

All in your perceived value.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] LittleRedDot:
Thanks for your argument... I was considering buying the insurance myself
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] privatewarrior1:
Have you ever used them? never heard of them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Gvndeb60:
I have not personally used Squaretrade, but they are highly reputable and I read nothing but good things about them on other forums.

To put it in perspective, IMO, Apple offers the best extended warranty called AppleCare+ for $99 for their devices. I have used it before on my iPad and my wife's iPhone. It is amazing and they cover everything. On imore.com which is an apple site, the forums have lots of people saying they choose Squaretrade over AppleCare.

That is just an example, again I have not used them so I am just sharing what I have read.

But I have used Best Buy coverage, AT&T insurance, and Sprint insurance. Best Buy was horrible in all ways as was Sprint. Both grilled you with tons of questions, and honestly looked for ways to void your warranty. Sprint even called a huge bright white spot on the middle of my HTC EVO a cosmetic problem. Both AT&T and Sprint use Asurian as the insurance company, and both times I have had to swap phones they gave me damaged models. With Sprint I went through about 4 Palm Pres before getting one that wasn't noticeably damaged. ATT swapped my Atrix out without any hassle but the first one was damaged as well.

I could be biased bc of my experiences but remember they are not in business to help you, they are in business to make money. Do the math to see if it is worth it. I will say that I have used it before for the first 2-4 months when a device is first released bc of the high cost. Normally the out of contract cost drops after a month or two.

Good luck.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] privatewarrior1:
Thank you Bro.

I've done some research on both.

Before I was under the impression they give you a brand new phone, but it seems a Refurbished one is the way to go for them.

It appears to me that after: $199 + $100 it is not worth it to get a refurbished phone after let's say 12 months of usage. One may just use this money and do an early upgrade if anything goes wrong with the phone.

BTW squaretrade doesn't allow theft coverage.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] LittleRedDot:
You don't always get a refurbished... I was given a brand new device once.

Hello again,

Because nobody have this problem too i wrote yesterday (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2077133) i decided to flash my phone.

First of all i wanted to root it with chainfires autoroot.

My problem now is simple explained:

I turn off the phone and press volume down+home+power button.

Then there is a warning which says i should press volume up for entering download mode or volume down for restart.

If i press the volume up button nothing happens. The same with volume down. Nothing.

What can i do in this case?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Post once don't break the rules .

Are you sure you get no response when using vol up button .

Kies firmware recovery ???

Worth trying a factory reset .

That fails you can try a USB recovery jig .

Simple answer would be a Samsung Service centre as it looks like the KIES update has gone wrong .

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lord12:
Thanks for your response!

Sorry for the new Thread, but i thought this problem has nothing to to with the other so i decided to make the new thread.

- Yes there is no respone after i am asked to press vol up or down.

- I can enter recovery mode, but not download mode

- Tried a factory reset 3 times.

- Kies firmware recovery don't shows my phone in the list to recover. Kies says all is working correct.

I think i will use my phone now without my home button and wait for next firmware update which hopefully helps :(
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gabster21:
Since I updated to 4.1.2 it seems like my Note 2 is no longer connecting to LEAP wifi networks. This seems to be a common issue with the S3 and N2 4.1.2 updates.

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=41377

Could someone post the /etc/wifi folder from 4.1.1? I read that copying that folder should fix the problem (tried copying the S3 files from the link above but my phone rebooted).

EDIT: Fixed, copied the wifi folder from a friend's 4.1.1 and changes permissions. LEAP now works :)

WIFI Files for Hong Kong 4.1.1 ROM

I upgraded to 4.1.2, but account wifi problems, I want to replace with 4.1.1 wifi folders/files. My Hong Kong 4.1.1 ROM (before upgrading to 4.1.2) was N7100ZSALK3. Are the 4.1.1 wifi files the same for U.S. and Hong Kong ROMS? If so, then I should be able to use the wifi files/folders posted on this thread. If not, I have the Hong Kong 4.1.1 ROM (with system.img file) but don't know how to extract the wifi folders/files. Help appreciated.

FIX

Had the same problem. My way to fix it was to go back to Stock ROM and rood the device again :

1. First press *#1234# in your phone to see your PDA and CSC versions.

2. Go to this post and find the same PDA and CSC for the version you have right now.

3. Download and extract the stock ROM.

4. Flash it using the instructions in the second post of the link above.

5. Reroot with method one of this post.

You basically have to do this to restablish the original system files and folders. If it still won´t work, try using a static IP.

Hope it works. :cowboy:

Stock ROM.

And please also tell me how to instal CyagonMod on my Galaxy Fit.
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] Galaxy_Rohit:
To flash CyanogenMod, first of all you should have official (stock) gingerbread firmware(mine was 2.3.6 ddkt3). Then you need CWM recovery. I've Clockworkmod recovery by TJstyle. & then u need an appropriate CyanogenMod rom for Galaxy Fit. (For error free experience I would prefer an Official CyanogenMod rom.)

Follow the steps carefully AT YOUR OWN RISK or else, you'll end up bricking ur Fit.

So, once you have these, then

1. Switch off ur phone & press home+power buttons to enter recovery. (In the recovery screen,use home button for selection & power button for previous menu & volume keys for navigation.)

2. Select "wipe data/factory reset".

3. Select "wipe cache".

4. Select "advanced"->"wipe dalvik cache".

(If u r flashing CyanogenMod first time, goto "mounts & storage" & select "format /system".)

5. Return to main menu & select "install zip from sd" & then "choose zip from sd card".

6. Navigate to that CyanogenMod zip file you've downloaded and select it and confirm the process.

On the contrary, stock firmware has a whole different flashing process.

Hope this helps...!!!:):)

[Motorola Droid RAZR] joelbon:
I have a Droid Razr that had a small accident that left the lcd screen shattered, but the Gorrilla glass intact. I now use this phone with my Lapdock and it works perfectly. My problem is that I have been trying to find a way to upgrade the phone to JB with the leaked version that got released on Christmas Eve.

The screen doesn't not work at all. The soft buttons work fine and so do the external buttons. Both ports work as well. The screen does not light up nor does it accept any input. The lapdock will start up as soon as the phone gets completely booted.

My question is there a way to upgrade the phone from ICS to JB without using the recovery menu. I can't navigate the recovery menu, so I can't install the zip file. If I had the two original files that came from the cache system folder, I could just reboot the phone and it would upgrade, right? If that is the case, does anyone have those original files that I could download?

I would love to upgrade this phone now instead of waiting for the OTA. Newer is always better.

By the way the phone got slammed in the house door and the frame is bent, so there is no fixing the phone at this point. The only use is to use it as a permanent dock on my lapdock 500.

Thanks to anyone that helps me or for even reading this post!
