[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Omatter4:
a2dp is still an issue unfortunatley... I just tested it with my sync system in my f150.

---------- Post added at 11:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:49 AM ----------

Initially i tried to dirty flash over the 1/9 build and got all the borked errors you are talking about...so i did a full wipe and reflashed everything, and i have no more broken app errors anymore..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] twirlin:
this is making me nervous to flash latest.

did you dirty flash?

---------- Post added at 11:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:07 AM ----------

damn, was hoping i wouldn't have to do a clean install

---------- Post added at 12:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:54 AM ----------

sounds like others are reporting it's still busted, but i'm flashing now and will report once i test it.

bluetooth is kind of a big deal for me so hopefully this gets sorted fast.

ill do what i can on my end testing
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] robertm2011:
You can make a backup of your current setup, wipe everything, do a clean install, then restore data (only). Everything working fine.

This is assuming that you're already on this (unofficial AOKP) rom.

A friend rooted my phone today since i don't know how. He said he left its rooted but nothing is flashed as far as roms. While browsing on my web now something very annoying is happening. Wether in landscape or portrait mode if i drag my finger on the edge of the screen on either side in zooms in and out instead of scrolling....is there a function that turns this off. It is driving me crazy.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] x714x:
Rooting wouldnt cause that to happen. What browser are you using? the stock one?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kintwofan:
I believe it's a function under the motion settings
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] skillzo1:
Yes i am using the stock browser. I did not see anything in the motion settings that revolves around what is happening. I also did not see anything in the browser settings that enables/disables it either.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmxc23:
The edge zooms in and out while touching the middle scrolls up and down. Tapping the screen also zooms in and out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] skillzo1:
I dl the official jellybean update when it officially came out from vzw. I was not rooted then and i did not notice this at all. I only noticed it today after i was rooted. It is really annoying as my fingers mostly scroll along the edges of the screen. I use pinch to zoom and double tap. Is there a way to take it off? It is driving me nuts.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmxc23:
No you can't take it off as you can not change how an app uses a smartphone's touch functions. If its that big of a deal breaker for you then I don't know what to tell you as all apps have a set way to utilize the touch screen and not one of them have a way to alter the touch screen only the app itself. Also with all mobile phones there is no touch screen setting so if you want to drag your fingers up and down on the edge of the screen to scroll a website you will have to find a browser that utilizes that function.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] skillzo1:
But it didn't do it before i got rooted. He installed jellybean build 8 i believe and took it off cause the photos in the camera didn't work just the videos showed. I believe the build had a choice for the note 2 camera wich was chosen. None the less he brought it back to stock but kept it rooted.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] skillzo1:
Just talked to a friend on non rooted official jellybean release from verizon. His browser does NOT do this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DROID3R:
Use google chrome
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmxc23:
I think you're the only person that find it annoying as most don't see it as a big deal. That is mostly because a whole lot worse can happen to your phone and that isn't one of them. I have had signal issues,Wi-Fi issues,boot loops,sim card issues and even soft bricked my phone 3 times while rooting and flashing my phone. If you find your issue annoying then I can only imagine how you feel if you experience any of the problems I just mentioned. Your phone is functional as your friend did a good job rooting your phone you should checking for more serious problems with your phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] skillzo1:
not a fan of any non stock web browser....chrome seems sluggish and def not as smooth as stock...also it doesn't have the pinch to zoom all the way in to get to the windows you have open.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmxc23:
I agree he can test out other browsers to see if he encounters the same problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] skillzo1:
Damn i hate responses like yours....

I'm really not...do a google search...it's been brought up a few times. No real answers as to why or how to stop it. And so what if i was....this is a forum for questions about the galaxy s3....correct....so what is really the problem with me asking it and trying to get my phone to operate the way i like it?

I'm sorry you have those problems...bricking 3 times...maybe you should get another hobby or is bricking phones your hobby?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] skillzo1:
And no i do not...chrome does not do it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmxc23:
I fixed those problems plus I still have the same phone and it is working perfectly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] skillzo1:
Congrats :good: not being sarcastic...and did you ask anyone for help or read on how to fix it? Unless you did it all by yourself...i'm basically doing the same thing in trying to fix my problem...though it may not be a catastrophic as yours.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kintwofan:
Well in interest of this getting back on track have you tried to simply clear the app data for browser? Also check your phone status to make sure you ate on the official build and upper friend didn't just put another stock ROM on it to replace build 8, I'm assuming it was beans build 8
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] skillzo1:
thanks kintwofan...i'ma try that now...brb.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] skillzo1:
Cleared all app data and nothing. still doing it. Device status says modified...Build number jro03l.i535vrbli5 yes it was beans build 8.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] countryfolk07:
I5 and the J series leaks had this feature on the stock browser. It was removed on the K series leak and OTA.

Sent from my Unleashed GalaxyMODed ...... um ...... phone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmxc23:
Some I fixed myself the others I looked up on this site. With Samsung phones flashing back to stock ROM via Odin usually fixes bricked phones and most other problems. Rooting using the RootDebugfs method is quicker and easier. I do notice that your problem pops once in a while as you flash roms one minute how you browse is fine but when you flash another rom there is that problem. As of now there is no solution as it isn't common problem so it is just an odd blip. Oh and by the way my phone is doing the same thing as yours so I just adapted to the situation accordingly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] skillzo1:
If going back to stock unrooted fixes it...i will gladly do it. I don't think rooting is for me..i don't know nothing about it. I know my phone but once people talk about rooting...i'm lost.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jarredw:
So were a lot of people unless they possesed a background knowledge of Unix but it you take some time to realize what rooting the phone can you do to the experience of using it you may be surprised. Other than getting really good battery life and endless customization I think Google wallet is one of the biggest things I enjoy from rooting
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] skillzo1:
its too advanced for me and i'm to vagina to take the consequence of bricking lol. I had a rooted tbolt. It just never seemed as smooth and reliable as stock. Always something wrong....and like i said...i don't know how to flash and stuff myself.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmxc23:
That is understandable. This phone so far is the easiest to root so it is up to you if you want to do it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kintwofan:
This right here, you need to update your phone to the latest blk3. I actually would suggest just flashing a custom vROM. something like clean ROM that is mainly stock.

You can get the rooted blk3 from here

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SprintGalSII:
Has anyone found a way to restore this "undocumented" feature that is very useful?

I upgraded my phone to the S3 from the S2 for 2 reasons.

1. 64 MB External SD support

2. "Screen Edge Zoom" "One Finger Zoom" As you described it, "Edge Zoom" (in stock email and stock browser)

No one even knows what to call it.

Removal of this feature, and worse, Samsung's moronic and amateurish reaction to a few complaints to simply remove it, rather than tell users it was there, and at the very least add a Switch/Setting to disable it (or enable it.) It works in both the stock email client and stock browser and is very useful once you realize it is there and not a bug.

Samsung added it, did not document it, which led me initially to think it was a bug, apparently got some complaints, but without asking if anyone liked it, then quietly removed it from MA6/MB1.

In my opinion, Samsung Developers/Product Managers are Morons for adding a feature, not telling anyone, ANYONE including their own Chat "Support" reps who argued with me about it, telling me the feature didn't exist, and I must have installed a third party app. They insisted that I perform a Factory Reset until I requested escalation of the Chat. The next level also refuted it, stating there was nothing in the Manual regarding it, and nothing on the Samsung Support Database. I insisted that it was a feature, and a good one, once understood and finally the Rep went and got a Demo phone and said, yes mine does it too. I didn't know.

So what did Samsung do, that adds insult to injury, rather than add a simple User Configurable Switch/Setting to disable it (or for that matter, enable it for those people who seem "mentally challenged" and are unable to make the "leap" to realize they are working with a Phone, not a PC or Mac, and the Phone has no scroll bars.

Anyway, over in Sprint World, (where I come from ) the OTA MA6 and MB1 updates removed the feature.

I must tap, "Later" no less than 50 times a day as I'm prompted to update, but I don't want the update.

I use the phone almost entirely with one hand, so the "Pinch" Zoom does not work for me. The tap is not "granular" enough in control. The Edge Zoom is great. I can read, zoom, respond to (via Swype Beta) and manage email entirely with one hand, which I do several hours a day.

I cannot get Samsung to respond, Sprint seems about as powerless as I as a user to influence them, and I have yet to find anyone here on XDADevelopers who even knows what it is called, let alone where to find it, so to decompile, add it back and recompile.

From what I've found, the Android world is essentially a "hard coded" environment, so unless the code includes a User Configurable Setting, you have no control over your Phone.

At least with Windows, you can "Hack" the Registry.

No such luck in Android. I'm not liking it and am seriously contemplating going back to Windows, even though I hate the stupid "Tiles" and worst of all, forcing you to use all apps Full Screen" even on a PC. Talk about treating you like a Child. Fisher Price Computing

I would like to note that I have a Mac(version 10.5.8), so a guide for a mac, or straight from my phone would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the link, but no success. I really need a mac solution to rooting this nuisance of a phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] champ1919:
Search in bhundven's heimdall thread (it's stickied in the development section). Antonx kernel will give you root and cwm and voodoo sound and the ext4 lag fix. Heimdall is supposed to work on a Mac. There's talk about it in the thread. Old Mac, New Mac.... idk. I'm on Windows, wish you luck.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
The one clicks run just fine on MAC. There .jar files so you just double click it and you're good to go. Heimdall itself is also a cross platform tool so it's easy enough to DL the MAC version of the program from glass enchilada. Your making this harder than you need to.
[Desire General] MChaotic:
If you have the ICS MIUI Rom for the HTC Desire installed, you probably have a broken dictionary that won't stop telling you that you've spelled everything wrong. It's a pretty simple fix though if you like the ROM enough.

Step one: Go to play store, find a keyboard you like. I personally like touch pal a lot. Download it.

Step two: Go to settings, complete settings, Language and Input.

Step three: Enable your new keyboard and set it as default.

Step four: below language turn off spelling correction.

Step five: go into your keyboard settings and choose a language. It will hopefully then use it's dictionary instead of the broken one.

Sorry if it's a little vague or basic, but it would probably confuse people who don't know a lot about custom ROMing.

Only other bug in the ROM that I've found is choppy video recording and sometimes the WIFI stops, but restarting it always works

ALSO if this is in the wrong thread please move it for me.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdjohn:
Not sure if hardware questions are allowed here, but my vibrate motor (I purposely avoided using the term vibrator) is making a chirping noise now, and I'm wondering how hard it is to replace. I saw some YouTube videos on replacing the screen, but nothing specific to the vibrate motor. I build/upgrade my own PCs routinely, and also repair my laptops, cars, a/c unit, or whatever else needs fixing, so I'm not scared to work on my cellphone either.

I know what happened to cause the noise. I sprayed some electrical contact spray into the mini-USB port to clean it out, and apparently some of the spray got into the vibrate motor as well. Doh!
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prboy1969:
Probably should still be in Q/A , but anyways. If you can work on a PC, or have worked on a PC Mother Board. Then replacing the motor should be no issue. It's fairly straight forward. It will take you more time to get to it, then to actually replace it.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdjohn:
Probably most similar to working on a laptop with all the layers involved. PCs are easy to open and work on. On laptops, you have to remove the keyboard before doing anything else, so similar to having to remove the panel underneath the battery on a cell phone first. The biggest problem may be finding a schematic of where the vibrate motor is located. So far, everything I have seen is about changing the screen, so they don't mention the vibrate motor.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thronnos:
Just open the phone. I'm sure you'll see the motor. Usually they're of a bigger shape and size :P

[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdjohn:
No-go on replacing the vibrate motor. It's soldered into the board, and too risky to heat it up because it's so close to other connectors. The battery and USB connectors are right next to the vibrate motor, and you don't want to melt those connectors by accident. I guess I'll have to live with the squeak. I've already turned off all Haptic feedback responses, and am just leaving vibrate on for ringing and messaging notfications.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prboy1969:
There are places that will replace parts like that for you around here. But where you live IDK. You could ask at an electronics shop. See if they have any people they could recommend.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdjohn:
That was actually the advice I got from one of those shops. :) Very nice and knowledgable guy. He popped the back and removed the board while I watched. He said he could try it, but that it was very risky and he wouldn't advise it. I suggested spraying some WD-40 into the motor, but he said it would leave a white residue everywhere from the propellent gases of the can, and possibly corrode some of the plastic parts, which made sense. He did blow some regular compressed air into it, but that didn't help. He didn't charge me anything.

It was kinda cool when he booted my phone and saw the flash screen (a spinning blue bee at the time). It started a whole discussion about rooting.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prboy1969:
That's definitely the route I would go. I've seen the repair shop around here do some really delicate work. They have some specifically designed equipment to get the job done. But I've seen them work on everything from a Motherboard for a CPU, to an OG EVO. A Spinning Blue Bee you say ;)

Hi all,

I'm not sure if this has been posted before but here is a quick fix for those of you with data issues after flashing a custom rom. Most experts say to check your APN settings which is true. In my particular case however, the stock apn settings didnt work.

STOCK APN

Name: ATT PTA

APN: pta

MMSC: ttp://mmsc.mobile.att.net <- Supposed to have an "h" as in a "http."

MMS Proxy: proxy.mobile.att.net

MMS Port: 80

MCC: 310

MNC: 410

APN Type: default,mms,supl

The settings I actually used that fixed all my data issues are.

Name: ATT PHONE (Doesn't matter)

APN: phone <- <- <- (THIS IS THE IMPORTANT PART!!!)

MMSC: ttp://mmsc.mobile.att.net <- Supposed to have an "h" as in a "http."

MMS Proxy: proxy.mobile.att.net

MMS Port: 80

MCC: 310

MNC: 410

APN Type: default,mms,supl

After making the a new APN with the APN as "phone" everything was all good.

Hope this helps!!! :victory::good:

I am trying to flash a custom recovery with fastboot but it is not working. When i put the device in fastboot mode it says"Starting Fastboot USB download protocol" but the screen doesn't change. When I flash it in CMD it says it finished but the device still does nothing. Then the same when I try to reboot it via flashboot. It says it is done but the device does nothing and I still have no custom recovery.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
If fastboot is not working you need to look at 2 things: 1)Android SDK is not installed or 2)driver is not installed correctly. BTW, is your device rooted and unlocked and what version of firmware?

Edit: Also make sure usb debugging is checked in settings.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thats OK:
I second what buhohitr says...an unlocked tab is imperative to the process.
[Asus Transformer TF700] charger04:
My device is unlocked but not rooted( I am trying to root it right now). I think it might be the SDK. I'm not sure if I installed it so I will do that now. Thanks
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Are you saying it says finished on the cmd prompt? Then it is done :cyclops:

I think you are missing the point.

It won't immediately take you into recovery.

You need to send the reboot command, then power off, power on again with vol down held down until the 4 icons appear, then volume up on RCK which should be default and now you should be in a custom recovery ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] charger04:
Yes I tried that and it just shows a dead android. :confused:
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Ah ok it wasn't clear. Are you sure you are unlocked?
[Asus Transformer TF700] charger04:
Yeah... When I boot it says "this device is unlocked"
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
OK, so everything is clear, you're unlocked. Now back to my previous post:

1. SDK installation (check step 1 (jre java, you probably already have this...everyone does and step 3: SDK)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1842969

2. USB driver:
