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

i see u all have i9300 devices, but ill ask here anyway if someone can help me :)

I recently updated my SGAII i8160 to official UK 4.1.2 rom and it really bothers me when i have manualy turn on mobile data for reciving MMSes..

in the file others.xml i dnt have any lines starting with <csc.... but i also dnt have the feature.xml file that obviously you have..

Do u think if I just add this feature.xml file it should work? (i ask first becouse i dnt know if this could mess with my phone or not, am a noob xD )

Thank you!

Why you don't just try it... I think it can't get hurt...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Actually, all you need are 2x APNs.

1 APN for MMS (where you change the type to MMS) and 1 for internet (Where type is default, supl)

The default apn will not connect when you are on WiFi. Often teh MMS settings are built into the default APN so it wont connect to receive MMS either.

All you need to do is write down the following values from your default apn

Username

Password

MMSC

MMS Proxy

MMS Port

MCC

On your existing APN, remove "mms" from type.

Create a new MMS called "MMS" or whatever....

Enter the details above and set type to mms
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krasouc:
Yea,i read about set another APN..haven't tried that though..

I made a task in "Tasker" to auto-enable data when reciving an mms,it works,but i think i cant set it up to auto-enable data when sending one :/

Maybe i'll give a try to set a new APN.. :)

Thanks!

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krasouc:
I had a look at apn settings but the inputs are right for my carrier,but i deleted them and reset them as they should be, but auto-recive mms is still a no-go.. :(

As for now i'll just stick with my Tasker profile to operate with reciving mms-es.. :)

Sent from my GT-I8160
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
My point was you need 2 APN's. You have to split out the MMS settings from your default APN and create an MMS APN with those details.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onesolo:
sorry, but that doesn't work!!! you have to have data enabled to get MMSs....
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
I'm sorry [MENTION=298306]onesolo[/MENTION] but you are Mistaken. You should at least test it before stating it doesn't work.

I'm just charging my battery on my DSLR up so shortly I will film a video of it sending AND receiving with data OFF. Just for you, as proof ;)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krasouc:
I do have 2 apn's: 1 is for internet and 1 mms'es..still no go :3 maybe i've done smth wrong.. o.O

Sent from my GT-I8160
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Basically copy your existing APN into a new APN. Then, set the "APN Type" of the new APN to be "mms".

Video MMS with data disabled

(Skip from 2:15 to 3:00 if you get bored.)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krasouc:
Thanks [MENTION=2872010]rootSU[/MENTION] for the video..but as said i do have 2 apns - 1 for the internet(with none mms settings in it) and another for MMSes with all the mms-settings as you've shown...

Btw: i have a samsung i8160 with official UK(mc8 4.1.2) rom..my GF has an s3, same problem, but same settings as i do...will try to "play"with her phone a bit :)

maybe some day i'll delete the apns and setup again both of them and i'll report here... :)

thanx for now :)

Edit:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
I find it odd. I've used this setup on multiple android phones, with multiple ROMS (Tested 2 different ROMs on the S3 just this evening)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onesolo:
I already test that "years" ago on S3, it simply doesn't work, at least on stock roms (never used custom roms on the S3)!!! and everyone knows that!!!

The only way to work is using the method explained on this thread...

And yes, this works on HTC phones for example...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Yes, it appears you are correct. Touchwiz will not allow an MMS to be sent when mobile data is "off". Every other ROM on every other brand of Android phone does, but Samsung is different. I never knew this because Samsung ROMs are so ugly, I cannot bear to use them.

Testing has indicated if you have a single APN with only MMS as the apn type, it will establish a connection ONLY when sending and receiving MMS. However this would mean that there is no internet browsing. As soon as you add a new APN with any other APN type (even all the details can be incorrect) the S3 uses it's "Intelligence" to rip the correct settings from the MMS APN and create a standard data connection, so you cannot even work around it with the APN type settings.

I agree that I am wrong in the case for Samsung (only) ROMs.

I would also ask that in future, regardless of whether you are right or wrong, please be less aggressive and rude in your posts. Multiple !!! in posts is seen as both of these in the English language (which is the language of this forum) so please try to be more pleasant.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SnowPluralism:
With one line on others.xml under system/csc/ u can enable auto data upon mms send/reveive :)

I have this fully working :)

And its pretty easy. If u want ill post it up
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
That's what post 1 says ;)

Though thats a root solution unfortunately.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SnowPluralism:
As u can see i didint read op only the last couple post's sorry ;)

I think twaeking apn settings also grants u auto data :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:

It does, but not on touchwiz roms. Silly Samsung.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SnowPluralism:
On i9305 works :
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
It also works on every other phone by other oems and in aosp roms on the 9300. Just not touchwiz roms. I did test thoroughly yesterday

CWM zip

I've made flashable zip containig "others.xml" file for fixing this file. Simply install from sdcard i CWM recovery.

MD5: 5403e6b3d56ab40f1b142f8efea77533

May not work becouse the zip is made for Galaxy Ace 2. Then you need to copy from different flashable zip working for you this files:

After that try to flash it on your device.

[MENTION=5304793]krasouc[/MENTION],

I've got also a I8160... and thanks to celeronix and mitky82 I managed this to work.

You must edit others.xml and add these two lines:

<CscFeature_RIL_ForceConnectMMS>true</CscFeature_RIL_ForceConnectMMS><CscFeature_Message_EnableMmsMobiledataOff>true</CscFeature_Message_EnableMmsMobiledataOff>

it works :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Modelistis:
I dont know when or why, but after many failed attempts in the past, my international S3, started to auto connect data to send and receive MMS... :p :D:laugh:

I´m not rooted and i have stock 4.1.2 Samsung rom... and i cant imagine why this started working out of nowhere...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onesolo:
I have the 4.3 official rom, tried that but nothing happens :(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkFranX:
This tweak can only be done on touchwiz ROM right? I think aosp based ROM dont even have the CSC folder in system (i dont have it and im on aokp)

Are there different files similar to feature.XML or other.XML in aosp? Is it even possible to do on aosp?

Thanks

Hi, I'm on a Galaxy S3 mini stock ROM (4.1.2 I8190XXAMG4)

I just rooted it to be able to add the two lines in system/csc/others.xml file:

<CscFeature_RIL_ForceConnectMMS>true</CscFeature_RIL_ForceConnectMMS>
<CscFeature_Message _EnableMmsMobiledataOff>true</CscFeature_Message_EnableMmsMobiledataOff>

I've rebooted my phone.

I have data disabled. (I'm in 2G, as I also disable 3G)

When I receive a MMS, I get the button "download". I need to enable manually data to be able to get the attachement of the MMS.

So for me the trick doens't work.

Is it network dependent ? (I'm on France "Free" network.)

I don't have "features.xml" nor "Features_Default.xml".

Shall I try copying others.xml to "features.xml" ?

I've a Note 3 with AllianceROM Lollipop and it made me mad that I had lost this feature after the step from stock rooted KitKat to AllianceROM.

Your Battery is empty

When the led blinks red or orange he says your battery is empty use the

original

cable from Sony

Maybe your battery is empty?

If not, what did you do before? Flashing anything? Rooted/unlocked bootloader/rom? Please give us more information ;)

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Llewelyn_MT:
I have a similar problem with my Xperia U. I only got to unlock the BL yesterday (the official way). Then I put in a boot.img from FXP CM10 ROM for... Xperia T :rolleyes: using fastboot and it stopped responding entirely. I give, that wasn't particularly clever, but it's the first time I use FXP and the instructions did say I should use CM10 boot image and that's what I did as there is no Xperia U CM10 image.

I charged the phone for 2 hours from my PC using the original Sony cable and then overnight (for ~8 hours) using a charger from my aged Spica. Pressing and holding the Power button after charging produced no effect whatsoever. Not even a blink of a diode.

I removed the battery and replaced it after ~20 minutes. The Power button still does nothing.

Plugging in the charger lights up the red charge LED, but the screen is off.

Plugging the phone to the PC (original Sony cable, dual Windows Vista 32-bit/Debian Sqeeze 64-bit laptop) also only lights up the red charge LED, the screen is still off. Holding Vol+/Vol- buttons (or both) while plugging in the USB cable does nothing.

Because I can neither fastboot nor flashmode I couldn't use Flashtool or SUS.

I'm lost... What did I miss?:confused:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mirost1:
First there is no CM for U, and second you bricked device cause you flashed wrong kernel - its for another phone.

You might flash U kernel from CM9.

Now try charging the phone for hours, then try enter flashmode to flash stock ROM, or fastboot mode to flash proper kernel.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Llewelyn_MT:
FXP for U is a modified CM9, right? That's what I was talking about.

I'm very well aware that's a wrong kernel I just didn't realise that until it was too late because of the cryptic device coding. I use Linux for 10 years now and it's not my first Android device so I have an idea how this things work.

I already did that. Is there anything else I might try or should I just repeat the charging process ad infinitum?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] doctor_droid:
Once I too flashed a wrong kernel

Xperia p kernel on xperia u ;)

Bt both are novathor brothers

So I still had flashmode

Xperia t is no where related to xperia u

Its a qualcomm

And unfortunately u have a hard brick my friend

U will require a SEtool to make ur phone living again

And its not available everywhere

That tool will help u to write ur bootloader again(i read it somewhere)

The only good thing is that there is no hardware damage

All u need is to get it working again

Google Jtag and SEtool

Read and it will help u
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] abdurrahman10:
More info

I unlocked the bootloader and flash a wrong rom by mistake and now i cant even enter fastboot mode :crying:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mirost1:
What about flash mode so you can flash stock rom?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] abdurrahman10:
What do i do using se tool

What do i do using SEtool ?? Can i have a detailed explanation
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Llewelyn_MT:
That's a hint for me. ;) Sorry for thread hijacking.

Thanks for the tip. This really makes me a sad panda. :( I hope I can fix this myself. I installed dozens of ROMs on my previous phone, but this new one must be jinxed...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] abdurrahman10:
Nope

No cant even enter flash mode

ARH

NEED HELP
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nishangrg:
Try IT

Hold VolumeUP + Power Button for 6,7 seconds it will vibrate, If it vibrate 3 times during that seconds

then May be u can enter to flashmode or fastboot mode..

Try it mate :))

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] impactor:
Which is better?

I know that Avast will still work even if SIM card is changed (extremely important).

I know that SeekDroid has web interface.

What about the reverse? Does SeekDroid work after SIM card change?

Any other thoughts welcome.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sycko:
Go with SeekDroid ;) *biased

We don't rely on the SIM, as long as the device has internet.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] impactor:
That's the problem. I suppose that means SeekDroid doesn't send sms with new sim's phone number.

Which means that is the theft uses sim without internet access, my phone is gone.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sycko:
In that case, if a sim didn't have SMS it would not work either. The difference with us is that we will keep trying to send the device the command given from the website until it comes back online, even if you leave the website. This means if it ever connects to WiFi or gets a SIM with network access, we will be able to execute the command. Also keep in mine that carriers such as AT&T will automatically add a data plan to a sim inserted into a smartphone.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] impactor:
Well, in Europe carriers don't add data plans automatically.

Anyway, can you list the functions SeekDroid has that Avast doesn't and does it offer all the functions listed here under avast! Anti-Theft and Remote Features sections?

Also:

- how does SeekDroid protect itself (on a rooted phone) against deinstallation or factory reset?

- does it add extra battery drain by running in the background?

Thanks.

His post above yours says what he's using. Partition magic. Either way, I'm guessing the issue is the software if Windows shows the true value.

Thats not realy what I was asking tho

Sent from my SGH-T889
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] degeneration:
It's not a 2TB card. As people have answered you, either the hardware is borked, or the software is confused with that card (make, model, when it was made, etc). Just because other cards have worked fine doesn't mean the software isn't confused. Just because you bought it from BestBuy doesn't mean the card is good.

People asked about eBay because many of us have been burned buying a card that is formatted wrong so it looks like it has a higher capacity than it really has. Either the software you are using (that exact edition, set up, installation) is giving you possible options to make computers think it is higher capacity (which will not do you any good), or that card could be flawed which is confusing the software into being unsure of it's total capacity.

The only exploit you could do is try using the 2TB formatting and showing people your super cool 2TB card (which would destroy files that were placed in non existent sectors). I don't recommend doing that, as it wastes the card.

I haven't really said anything that anyone else hasn't been talking about, but these seem to answer anything you may have been asking (since technically you never formed a full question). So I think your question was answered, you may have just not asked what you meant to.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] prepaidguy9081:
Correct, but I do not belive the card is flawed. I agree with the rest though. And if my question dosent seem fully developed I appologise

I'm definitely a noob when it comes to it, but the whole irc thing tends to be a giant pain for me, especially in comparison to xda. So j was just wondering why a lot of the devs only talk about their progress on the channels and not in dedicated threads.

I'm honestly not trying to complain at all, I'm just curious if more development progress threads can be made (because I love following them) or if irc has some massive advantages (which I'm sure is the reason). Once again no offence to anyone or anything, just hoping to expand my knowledge slowly but steadily.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] MrZim4:
With IRC just being a chatroom I'd imagine it makes it easier to just communicate immediately without having to wait too long for a response. And they like to test things they don't need the public to know about on here, because these things may cause bad bricks
[AT&T LG Optimus G] C2fifield:
Yeah that's what I was figuring. I guess I was just hoping for a "by the way we got this working today, but we're still working this out" sort of thread.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] nygfan760:
Yeah, but the problem is XDA doesn't allow placeholders, and the devs on IRC are still working on booting CM, so it;d be against the rules to post it. Plus then you have people screaming for ETA's and telling devs to just release stuff which may cause terrible results, and then they complain. This is just from my experience with a few Captivate rom threads. You can always hop on IRC though.

Hi, my phone started to have this problem where if WiFI is on, i can't get a voice call. SMS is fine, i get my voicemail notification, rarely people get through to me, but most of the time i'm "unavailable" to them.

I've tried to flash UILH1 and XXLH1 radios, but neither of them solve the problem. Issue persists through different ROMs too (stock, AOKP, CM).

Any advice?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Khizar:
did this start randomly or did you change something that could have caused this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shaldy:
Randomly, really, and i've only flashed AOKP on my device, since 4.0.4

EDIT: I have narrowed it down, this basically happens when my phone is in HSPA mode, if i'm on EDGE, on UMTS (tried another cell operator) - it is fine.

But if wifi is off and it is on HSPA - it works fine.
