Hi Guys,

I've had the S3 while it was still on 4.0.4 and experienced the WIFI / Battery issues so I sold it and got a Note 2. My wife is looking to convert to Android from iOS (finally), but the Note 2 is just too big for her to handle.

How are you guys seeing the performance and fixes after the update? Hopefully it's good and maybe post some battery usages so I can compare? Appreciate it.

It highly depends on your usage, settings and apps. My personal screen time is usually between 4 to 5hrs with medium use.

Thanks for the info......have you seen any improvements since ICS?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] compro01:
Which wifi issue? The random dropping?

If yes, that went away for me with the 4.1 update.

Google Now, for me, made it worth the update. I'm able to get through a full day (from getting up till bed) with about 15% left. This includes a live wallpaper, constant synching, Facebook multiple times a day, 30ish emails, medium texting, words with friends, and much surfing of the Web.

However, everyone's experience is different. I was just listing mine to give you an idea.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mohana75:
I did an OTA upgrade from ICE Stock 4.0.4 to stock JB 4.1.1.

After a day there was no mobile network available, though WIFI work. I tried other SIM but no network.

I see that IMEI, baseband etc. is coming as "unknown"

As all my efforts of factory reset, reboot etc failed, reflashing the latest images and going back to 4.0.4. etc.

But still no network.

In the phone settings

Basebad version : unknown

Network : Unknown

IEMI : unknown

Service state : Out of service/Radio off (keeps changing every 4-5 sec)

No idea what is happening.

I saw similar issues reported but not able to figure out how finally they solved it.

I dont have backup of efs folder as well

I tried with couple of Samsung Service Centres in Bangalore, India but they are not accepting the request as the phone was bought in US and also that Google/Samsung is not selling i9250 in India.

Any suggestions/help is appreciated.

Thanks in Advance

HELP

Also having the same issue. Been researching and still haven't came up with a solution. Thread bump.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] christopherrrg:
Bummmmp

I got same issue, I unlocked a Canadian rogers i9250 with the DOCOMO unlock and haven't had original IMEI since, however when I plug it into ADB I see the original and I still see it on my box. I'd kinda like to fix it too, not sure what the pros or cons are.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pguizeline:
Did you guys tried to fully wipe and go back to stock image? When I say full wipe it means using adb and applying a full reset. Try the toolkit on the dev forums if adb is not your cup of tea.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
How do you "fully wipe with ADB"?

OP, check 'mount' output. Do you see /efs mounted at mount point /factory once fully booted?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pguizeline:
When I say fully wipe is not using the recovery, but using the command terminal to flash the full Google factory image :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pirateghost:
which still doesnt involve ADB
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pguizeline:
Ok, ok, ok, I get, ADB, fastboot, it's amazing when you're trying to help and people keep talking about everything but the topic in question :).

Anyway good look trying to recover the IMEI folks

Unfortunately full wipes and stock restoration does NOT recover your IMEI, there are tons of threads about this, still no simple solution however.

I even went as far as formatting my whole phone, no luck.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] freakin.ro:
OK, thanks very much for these information. Oh well, seems like I have to buy another mainboard :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] christopherrrg:
Just a second! Your phone isn't exactly 'dead', have you gone to the sim toolkit to recognize said sim card or is this a Verizon model? Sorry using tapatalk so having to flip back and forth lol I would suggest trying another sim to make sure you're 100% unlocked.

---------- Post added at 01:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:36 PM ----------

Also double check APN settings as I'm sure you have heard of this multiple times. Also if you're comfortable with flashing, go for CyanogenMod maybe it will fix what you need as its the number 1 updated custom ROM. Its packed with a kernel that's updated as much as its ROM. Try wiping entire system and flashing via adb side load provided you know what I'm talking about and have a recovery that supports this ( I use TWRP)

---------- Post added at 01:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:40 PM ----------

Your phone may ultimately end up like my own, my imei and network still say unknown but my carrier is wind and I'm using the 3g to answer you right now in assurance it works regardless of imei
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] christopherrrg:
I just realized you could try re unlocking it, Google DoCoMo galaxy nexus unlock!

Edit : because your imei is already blank you shouldn't really need to worry about what it backs up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jaymsen:
OMG. I have the same problem. Is there anyone solved this problem ? Now my Nexus can only be used as a Pad, without cell phone network signal ...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] christopherrrg:
That's a radio issue my friend, search the development forum. Its stickied so right at the top. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jaymsen:
There's no one file in subfolder data/radio....

(Don't have fear when flashing.)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jaymsen:
Thank you for you reply. I'm not familiar with flash. But I can do following the guider……:p

Some days ago, I received an OTA update, I tried to install it. however, it failed. because I deleted some Google's apps. So I tried to update my NEXUS using factory image from Google over cable. It was successful. But two days later, I found my phone lost signal. And then I found baseband version unknown, and IMEI too. I did nothing with it except connecting to PC overnight. I tried to find out why and how to fix it. Someone said efs was corrupted. But I didn't backup it. Even I didn't know which folder was efs. factory？ or in dev/

block/platform.....？ or same？ Now there are several files in factory, but no one file in data/radio as you shown in your reply. Now I don't know what to do..I dont want to use my Nexus as a player...

Apologize for my poor English

some capture pics:

nv.log in factory
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] christopherrrg:
Sounds like my old problem actually heh, well unfortunately it seems you won't be able to recover your original IMEI because it at some point was rooted and unlocked with DoCoMo method (Like myself, you won't recover IMEI but connections will work!) What I suggest you do is download the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit by Wugfresh and flash stock 4.3 factory image. Then go from there. (Best for you because it will restore STOCK radio)

The reason your OTA didn't work is because the Google apps you have removed are linked to gapps (where the ROM went to update them but there is nothing to update) also because you're device was/is? Rooted.

I suggest the Wugfresh toolkit because it's especially useful for beginners.

I'll find the link shortly, just at work right now.

As for your English, I'm a Canadian and I can tell very clearly what it is your typing. :)

EDIT - here you go good sir and hopefully we can breathe life back into your amazing phone! http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2208863

Those logs almost look as if a wrong radio was flashed, I could be wrong though if you haven't flashed before.

Let me know if there's anything else you need. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jaymsen:
Thank you very much. I flashed my Nexus using factory image, cmw recovery and supersu.zip for root. I used some commands in cmd to flash the first two images. The last one was flashed from sdcard using cmw. Looking back to the procedure, maybe the backup (nandroid?) using cmw recovery had made me lost signal. Just a guess, for someone in this forum had the same problem after backup..

Now what I want is the recovery of network signal, rather than a galaxy player:mad:. It's interesting to solve such problems. Maybe I must turn to professional repairman at last. But for me, I study English, get more knowledge of Android, and maybe make some friends.

I have the tool kit you mentioned. I will have a try and give you feedback.

I'm from China:p中国
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] christopherrrg:
Could tell from the screenies lol but yeah the toolkit should fix it 100%, good luck and I hope it works out for you! Welcome to the community :)

Just got a Razr I and wondering if there's any way to allow to slide down the notification bar from the lock screen?

I thought this was the default with ICS but for some reason it doesn't work on my Razr I.

I have tried setting the lock screen option to 'Default' as well as 'None' but neither allow me to slide down the notification from the lock screen which I was used to doing on my previous phone.

Thanks.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flashsam:
I think i've worked it out!

As I haven't got my new Micro SIM card yet (waiting for Orange to post it to me as my previous phone was a standard size SIM) there's no SIM in the phone and it appears that this makes strange things happen.

If I put the phone on airplane mode then the lock screen settings work as expected ('None' = no lockscreen)

Also I can now slide down on the notification bar.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flashsam:

But something other than that. If u want u can cut the normal sim to a microsim. Have done that with mine and it is working.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flashsam:
Thanks for that. I thought it was safer to ask orange to send me a new one which they do as a one off for free. Should arrive in post tomorrow and I'll see if things start working once it's in the phone!
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hazou:
Ah hope it does work!

Cutted my sim because i will change carrier in about a month. Didnt want to ask for a new sim when i would change carrier soon.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flashsam:
Right, final update I hope!

Got new micro SIM, been activated and is working.

Now the lock screen settings really are working as they should do and I can slide down the notification bar from the lock screen (when it's turned on)

Running Holo Locker now instead of the default lock screen as it's slightly more customizable and you can actually turn off the vibration when unlocking the phone.

Hello All.

I'm trying to help out my friend. he has a peble Blue Verizon S3, and dropped it/ broke the screen. The LCD doesn't even light :(

He only has had the S3 for 3 weeks, bought new thru Verizon(no insurance unfortunately..ouch).

What is the best option? He was told to call samsung and they may send him a new one, but that is a long shot it think? I have searched online and found many places with the part @~$220-260. Anyone know of a cheaper price, or a good repair shop thats reasonable? We can do the work ourselves if need be.

Thanks in advance :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] galets:
Replacing screen: here's what i know so far

I'm also looking for such replacement. Those digitizers are really expensive!!! Are there any alternative sources? Here's what I found:

1. Depending on how savvy you are, you could save a couple bucks by replacing only digitizer. Easier is to replace the whole front frame, and not much more expensive either: http://www.ebay.com/itm/LCD-Screen-...e_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item5d4219bf6b

2. You can get digitizder only from China: http://www.ebay.com/itm/LCD-Display...e_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item2330c458a5 or an OEM one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-Samsung...e_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item5654dc87c0 . I suspect both are the same part, except getting it from USA seller is more expensive. Replacing is not OVERLY hard, but takes some effort. This video shows how: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4Lh8T7vK18

3. If you go down the rabbit hole of cheapness, I'd say you might order it from aliexpress. You can get it for ~90 bucks, like this one: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Free...xy-S3-i9300-Tools-black-white/1218254599.html . I can't vouch for quality, supposedly it's an oem part, but what do I know. You can also buy a digitizer+frame part.

Also, I think Samsung now repairs for much cheaper that they used to. I think verizon phone repair is under $140 with free shipping and such. Might be a better option for you.

Another option is to buy a phone on craigslist, and sell your broken one. You can probably recover about 100 bucks, so if you get a good deal with craigslist one, it might be an even cheaper option (although riskier). Just make sure you are not getting blacklisted phone.

If someone who knows other places to buy even cheaper screens, I would appreciate if you share

Hey guys just had a question. I just flashed over a new rom and completely forgot to backup my texts and i had some unsaved numbers in my previous rom..my question is there anyway to go into the backup and pull out some file that has all my messages so i can restore them on my current rom?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Don_Perrignon:
The only way I would know how, would be to download a third-party SMS app. From there, can you do use titanium to restore it or use it's own backup and restore features through that app. After that, use that on your new ROM and those messages should come back to the stock SMS application... Maybe. I mean "maybe" to the messages going back to the stock SMS app.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] flip3547:
Within the menu in the paid version of TitaniumBackup, not sure about free version, is a "restore from nandroid backup" feature that allows you to restore specific app data from a backup location. The app will check your backup to see what is available to restore and give you the option to select which app or data or both you wish to restore. I've used it before and it worked. Good luck

[HTC Wildfire S] bobdarkside:
I wish I could have been around to help with some tips on this, but maybe this will help in the future. Remove battery first off and put phone in a sealed bag of silica gel. ( the packets of stuff you get in products you purchase.) Or you can find it at a local hobby store. If not uncooked rice will work as well, just not as fast. (sealed bag or a bowl of rice). Also if it was salt water, rinse off with fresh water as salt water is highly corrosive to electronics and blow off if possible (not with heat..i.e. a can of air). Hope your phone still works I have had this issue and it has helped.
