I dropped my s3 in some water and quickly grabbed it, and dried it off. Everything seemed to be working ok, but then i noticed that it's acting like i don't have my sd card in it when i do. My wifes card gets recognized right away when i put it in, so i think my sd card is no good. Any suggestions on how i can recover data from it?? Thanx
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] havy15:
So your SD card doesn't read but hers does? And yeah then just get a new SD card go on a computer take your files off of it and put em back on the new SD card
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tprophit:
Hi,

New to the S3 and this rom. Root, flash went well, and so far, I'm loving this rom. One problem that is stumping me is this:

Using ADW launcher, have a direct dial short cut to voice mail. The voice mail contact is set up to dial *86 ,,xxxx, so with one tap, I can call vm and access messages.

However, the keyboard then becomes non responsive. I can't delete or save messages, and if I have multiple messages, can't get to the next one.

Any suggestions on how to work around this appreciated.

I'm running the 3.2 beta version of LS, and really only have this, and one other minor issue.

Thank you.

Still haven't solved this, but here's more clarification:

Phone is running LiquidSmooth 4.2.1m v2.1m beta 3.2

1. Using a 'direct dial shortcut. the rom dialer has a contact set up named voicemail, that is programmed: *86;,,XXXX. When I hit the direct dial shortcut, voicemail is dialed, xxxx is sent, and I can hear my first voicemail. The problem is the dialpad is non responsive. So, I can't save or delete the first voicemail, nor can I proceed to listen to the next one.

If I dial *86, and enter the password manually, then the dial pad works.

Even if I dial any contact withGoDialer, then, open keyboard to dial and extension, I get the stock dialer.

I drive a lot, and need as few distractions as possible. Any suggestions on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Have u tried using a different launcher just to be sure its not hardware/ROM related it might be the launcher?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidxrooting:
--------------If you like puzzle, tackle this---------------

I tried pretty much everything on the internet before posting here.

My stock/no root phone started bootlooping. So I used Odin and root66.tar to get it back. Everything seemed to be good. After I got 3 updates:1) 30mb, 2) 60mb and 3) JB updated OTA. After 60Mb update my phone said Samsung and shows unlocked lock. After JB update my phone bootloops again.

I though it it was a bad update and reflashed stock no root 4.0.4 and OTA did the same thing.

I tried the gs3 tool to flash the recovery and it always fails.

I would appreciate any help.... I have been dealing with this non sense for the past 24h.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tprophit:
Yes. I've been using ADW launcher, tried it with Nova, got the exact same result.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LtZKilla:
Alright, I'll try here. So, I'm on cleanrom 5.6. As far as I can tell everything is working, and there aren't any actual problems, but the phone doesn't know what the network is in settings and and when I drag down the notification bar it doesn't say it at the bottom. Anyone have an idea?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jwattt:
MEID

does your cellular service connect? Also you are on verizon right? and did you do a dirty flash of cleanrom 5.6?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LtZKilla:
Yeah, my cell service connects and I can text and call. It just doesn't seem to have any idea that my carrier is verizon and it kinda seems odd.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Dabears2240:
I am trying to install the stock systemui.apk file on my phone after I screwed up and flashed the wrong one, but installation always fails. I have moved the .apk to the /system/app folder and have changed the permission of the .apk but the file still won't install. What can I do?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jwattt:
carrier

Since you carrier wont load I believe following this tutorial with help fix your problem but check the conditions. Im not allowed to post links apparently so I attached it. I'll also flash cleanrom 5.6 and find out if its a software thing and get back to you. But it seems to me like its a MEID issue. So check the conditions in the link and if they are true I'd go that way. If not re-flash, clean install would be my suggestion. Yeah I run Cynagenmod 10.1 and it even knows I'm on Verizon. And Scott's roms always have the carrier.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] CeeMillz:
I can't recall when I last had it working but my NFC completely stopped working. I have tried reverting back to absolute stock rooted nandroid. That didn't work so I Odin booted back to the original unrooted firmware. Still same problem. If I try to uncheck NFC from the more options it moves over and is immediately flipped back. I have gone into a Verizon wireless store to seek help but the guy made a sarcastic remark that his iPhone wouldn't have that problem...but I also as a few other notes I have tried hells ROM and also flashing the NFC file with the ROM which also didn't work and have tried the few NFC Google wallet fixes I have seen, also sadly no luck. I'm stubborn and don't want to give up if anyone knows if there is a possible fix, hope you can possibly help!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jwattt:
replacement?

I think you may have a faulty chip. Also is your battery NFC capable? But to be honest Verizon will replace it for free if your under the 1 year warranty and don't have water damage or anything like that. Because if it doesn't work on the stock rom it's most likely a hardware problem in this case. So I would contact your carrier about that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] CeeMillz:
I have the stock battery and when I did call Verizon the first time they wanted me to contact Samsung first then get back to them so I figured i'd bring it here. It had worked before so I was wondering if maybe it fried somehow? Phone has never been dropped, no water damage, watch because I said that i'll drop it in 5 minutes and shatter my screen :eek: I guess I'll just try Samsung tomorrow and see what they have to say.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jwattt:
nfc

Actually I just thought of something else to try. Have you gone in and force quit nfc and cleared the app data? That may resolve the problem. Nfc will be under all apps and it is named nfc service.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] CeeMillz:
Good idea, just tried it and it didn't do anything. Also tried that, rebooted recovery, wiped dalvick and cache fixed permissions then tried again with no luck. =/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jwattt:
nfc

Are you using a non stock kernel? Also when you went back to stock did you erase everything on the phone?

Lost my network connections

Background:

CM10.1, RC2. No problems until I tried to enable international mode, as per this post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1809314&highlight=gsm&page=11

I think it worked, I had an old French sim, it seemed to register a French phone number, although I'm not sure.

I followed the instructions to get back onto Verizon, and now I get no cellular signal. I actually get data (wifi is turned off) but I get no signal that data is working (no 4g or 3g symbol). I can't send or receive calls or SMS. Any ideas out there would be greatly appreciated!

---------- Post added at 11:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:21 PM ----------

Small followup- I haven't lost my MEID & the phone recognizes what my phone number is when I go to "Status" under settings. I have the feeling CDMA is just disabled somewhere, I just can't figure out how to enable it. I'm on Preferred netwok mode of LTE/CDMA/EVDO under settings. In the Phone Info App I have LTE/CDMA auto (prl) enabled. This seems to be a conflict but I can't resolve it. Anyone have any ideas? Please help!

Problem with ROM: HYPERDRIVE RLS13 4.1.2 5/14

I've been playing around with HYPERDRIVE ROM for a couple of days with a few different settings variations, and I had been super stoked about this ROM until I ran into this problem. I guess the most recent combination of settings I chose was cursed, because it caused my phone to freeze in the lockscreen in LANDSCAPE mode.

The seemingly relevant settings involved are the:

HyperDrive Control-->Custom Settings-->Lockscreen Mods-->Sony XperiaZ Lockscreen

Ripple Effect (I read the FAQ after the fact, sadly)

So, even after I battery pull and restart, the phone boots INTO LANDSCAPE LOCKSCREEN, and is instantly frozen again, preventing me from adjusting any settings or from rebooting into recovery mode (unless there's a different way to do this). :eek:

I tried booting into download mode and then rebooting, but that made no difference.

Any help would be wonderful. Thanks all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] speedingcheetah:
You may have one of those phones that simply don't play well with that rom. I could not get Hyperdrive to work well at all. Lag, reboots....maybe related to the custom kernel(ziggy, i think). I use Synergy with stock kernel and it is rock solid.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] yosterwp:
Just take your phone to Verizon Wireless... Just kidding (lighten the mood)

Anyways, power off the phone, and then hold power+home+volume down to get into Odin, from there, just reflash the stock rom for the phone. Also, remember to only disconnect the phone when Odin tells you to do so, not when the phone reboots.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RaveFinds:
Running CM 10.1 (I think, installed it three-four months ago, haven't updated since)

Phone has been acting a bit funky for awhile, but today I have not been able to boot successfully at all.

Cannot boot in recovery.

Have tried booting in Odin. Sometimes I can get past the "Custom OS's are bad screen," other times it shuts down again before I can even get past that. Even if I have, it will just show the Odin screen for a few seconds then shut off.

Have seen people on here talking about defective/stuck power buttons and thinking that might be my issue. How do I know if that is the problem, and if it is, what are my options?

Happy to provide any more info that would be helpful. Sorry for noobishness, and many thanks in advance.

---------- Post added at 04:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:31 PM ----------

Just managed to get my phone to turn all the way on. Screen repeatedly turned on and off and when I could get past the lock screen I would see the power button menu. So it looks like it is my power button and nothing software-related.

So--what are my options?

When did you purchase your phone? If it's within a year you can get it serviced through samsung and it'll be covered under your manufacturer's warranty.

If not, they may repair it for a reasonable price.

Stupid person does stupid thing

Ok, Rooted S3 Verizon. Just got the OTA on my rooted phone. I decide to delete what I thought was the new caller ID function. Now might phone wont get past the home screen, and goes into reboot mode, The phone can't be seen by the computer when plugged in.

I can get into recovery mode but have no idea what to do. Do I have to do a factory reset, wipe all data? Will I then be able to restore off my sd card? I have Titanium and TWRP I think.

Or am I just plain screwed for being stupid?

Thanks!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
Try a factory reset and see if that fixes it.

If you're rooted still, you can always install a custom rom to alleviate your problem. Or you could return fully to stock through download mode.

You aren't even close to being screwed, just be careful what you delete next time. Always make a backup before you do anything like that so if it does mess something up you have an easy way to get your phone back the way it was.

I'm looking for some diagnostic help:

My phone does not respond at all to the power button when it is not plugged in.

When I plug my phone into USB the LED glows red, the phone vibrates, and then the led goes off. The phone then periodically vibrates (ranging from every 1 second to every 8 seconds). Nothing appears on the screen. In this state, if I hold the power button down, I get the samsung logo and image of an open lock, but then it immediately goes back to black screen and periodic vibrations.

Standard methods to go into download or recovery mode do not work

HOWEVER if I hold the volume down, home and power buttons while I plug in the USB, I can get into download mode and ODIN recognizes the device. If I do the same thing but hold the volume up instead of volume down, I get the Samsung logo and the open lock image. If I then let go of the power button and keep holding the other buttons, small blue text at the top left of the screen appears saying "RECOVERY BOOTING.....", but then the phone goes back into the black screen with periodic vibrations.

I had stock rooted with the VRALEC bootchain from a while ago, and have not done any flashes or upgrades for over a month. I tried flashing that all again after this started, but got no change in behavior. The phone was working fine in the morning without issues, and then an hour or so after I plugged the phone into my computer (which I have done almost daily for a year now) this started.

I did have the phone out with me on the job the day before and it was pretty hot out, but as I said, it was working fine after that.

From the description, does this seem like a software thing? I'm willing to try flashing whatever via odin to get this thing running at all. I'd rather have a working phone in pure stock than a brick. Or is my phone in a state where I'll need to JTAG it? Or does this sound like a hardware thing? Any insight or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Edit: I contacted the guys at mobiletechvideos with the same info and they believe it's a hardware issue. I'll be sending it to them and will report back the fix done and outcome for anyone else who gets an I535 in this same state

could use some help please!

Hi Everyone,

I received a replacement for an S3 due to a defective screen and the deadline to return it is today. Since the old one was rooted, I had to unroot and return to stock...there are only two problems and I'm worried that Verizon/Samsung is going to charge me for the new device.

1. When I boot into stock recovery, there is an image of the green android on his back, front panel open, and a red triangle with exclamation mark. Is this a visual indicator that the phone has been rooted? Is it a problem for me returning the phone? Note - I'm booting the phone without a SIM card.

2. In order unroot the phone and return to stock, I flashed VRBLK3. Kernel: "3.0.31-381038 se.infra@SEP-112 # 1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Nov 30 15:42:16 KST 2012. I want to update the phone, but keep getting this message: "Service Unavailable. To check for software updates, go to Settings > About device when service is available"

Won't it be kind of obvious that the phone had been rooted when the tech sees that I'm running a baseband and kernel from November 2012? Is there a way I can fix this?

Thanks in advance for your help!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
1. That stock recovery is normal.

2. You're unable to update the phone because you don't have ota service anymore. Vrblk3 is still a jellybean baseband though, it would be a different story if it was an ics baseband, but if you are extra paranoid, just swap out the Sim card from your new phone, reboot, then try to update.

On a side note, make sure your flash count is 0 in download mode. If it's not 0, use triangle away to erase your flash counter.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] purudaya:
Thank you! I did a factory reset with the SIM because just putting it in there didn't work - updated to MF1 now.

I already checked the binary counter in download mode and it says "No," which I'm guessing means zero. Now that I know the knocked over android with the panel open and the red triangle is normal for stock recovery, I can finally send this thing back with my mind at ease.

Thanks again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aypeeootrek:
So I dropped my sg3 last night and cracked the whole screen. On top of that, seems the.phone got damaged too because everything is running slower and taking longer.

I've read through several threads and haven't came across as method of unrooting on Mac. Everything seems to be for pc. Also was wondering what would happen if I just put on a stock Rom and just returned it rooted with a unlocked boot loader. Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
You could always flash a stock rooted ics or older jellybean rom and accept an ota update. That would return the phone to complete stock.

Looking for help before I throw this damn phone... lol.

Flashed PacMan AOSP coming from TW a few days ago. Things were running fine until this AM, then all of a sudden today the phone randomly just went into roaming mode (no reboot, system changes, anything... just happened out of the blue).

I managed to get Data (4g) back by re-flashing the newest radio, but I can't make calls any more at all, even with 4G. Any ideas/help appreciated greatly, I've got a nice paperweight as it is and will be going through insurance in the AM if not resolved.

Cant boot into Recovery or Download

Ok so I just flashed a new rom to my S3 and wasn't really a fan of it (something that I've done a hundred times) so i went to re install my old Rom so I go to boot into recovery, and nope wont do it screen just blacks out and i have to do a battery pull. Just for the hell of it i try and boot into download mode, I get into the vol up/down to proceed part. Press up the logo loads and you see downloading do not turn off target then poof shuts down have to do a battery pull. The strangest part to me is that I can still boot up my phone just fine. I just cant boot into recovery or download mode and I would really like to get rid of this rom lol.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
