Just try to update to the latest thailand firmware and your problems will be solve...

---------- Post added at 02:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:38 PM ----------

To all new grand users who are experiencing problems with out of the box firmware, i suggest to update to the latest thailand firmware. But before you update please reset to factory settings before doing the update. This is just my personal experience but still some few lags are noticeable but overall its a great update.btw my original firmware was from saudi arabia so you can use any local firmware provided there is no problem with choosing english as your language.

Personal ringtone problem

Hi all!

First of all thanx to the perfect root and the easy-to undersatnd guide.

I have bought my brand new duos a week ago in Hungary. Did the rooting process mentioned in the first post, worked like a charm.

However, face a strange problem with the custom-set ringtones. They just keep changing back to the default one... My ringtones are stored in my ext.SD (yes, even the default one). What makes it more wierd, my previous phone was a SE Xperia Arc, and I had exatly the same problem with stock firmware and ICS.

The card is the same, and I use Multi Mount SD-Card when connetcing to the PC. During the connection the SD mounts and unmounts in like every 2-3 minutes.

So, what do you think?

Is my card dying? (Already tried to format, and to use different USB cables, no change)

Or there might be an other problem with the connetction?

Is this somehow related to the wierd ringtone thing? If not, have anyone experienced this problem with the custom ringtones?

Thanks in advance for all the answers and your help:good:

1. if update my grand to this firmware I9082XXAMC1_I9082OLBAMC1_THL.zip all my apps will gone???

2. the root will be gone but it can be rooted again???

3. Backup your EFS Folder to save IMEI number and other important data.. i read it here "http://androidjinn.com/update-galax...droid-4-1-2-jelly-bean-official-firmware.html"

4. last in this update the subway surfer bug will be fix...

Same here bought it 5 days now colours fading after some usage sometimes auto brightness increases suddenly when some apps opens. I thought this may be the problem of light sensor.now I realise this is a common problem for grand duos
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] ferdie553:
yes you can always try....
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] roycejp:
In Settings...Display, there is a setting called "Auto Adjust Screen Tone". Check /uncheck it and see if it makes a difference.

If not, take it to the service centre. No harm letting them look at the problem (if it is a problem).

Btw, I am not facing this issue.
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] swaroop_p1988:
colour tone changes even if that setting is enabled or disabled.. It is faced by all grand users as per facebook grand group.

So firmware upgrade is the solution.
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] -tired-:
no color changing problems

just got my new grand a couple hours back ( since my friend would not let me root his phone... yeah a friend :crying: ) and not facing any issue about color changing or such, downloading the requirements to root and will root in a couple of minutes and share the experience too.

Thanks to chotu222 for a great effort :good:

[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] roycejp:
Not only that, I believe it is also a hardware issue.

The USB device needs to be powered by the phone after plugging in.

I believe Samsung has left out the power connection to external device.

I say this because I connected a pen drive to the USB port, and the power LED of the pen drive did not light up.

In this case, no amount of software mod will help, if your pen drive is not getting power!

But,I really hope I am wrong here, and someday we will see USB OTG on our device!

Go for latest thailand firmware. Just now flashed from indian rom to thailand rom. Its awsome my color fading issue and auto brightness solved i think. Till now no issues.

Be sure you have all the drivers installed.

Download Odin.

Download the CWM package fro chotu22.

Download SuperSU Package.from Chainfire.

Copy the SuperSU zip to the device.

Reboot the device in Download mode.

Start Odin.

Load the CWM.zip to the PDA slot and flash it.

Odin will automatically reboot the device so go into recovery immediately.

In CWM select the install ZIP from sdcard, or something like that. There select the SuperSU.ZIP

Reboot..

Enjoy being root :D

Many thanks to chainfire for adding support for Galaxy Grand Duos GT-I9082 in Triangle Away. hats off!
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] H377:
Yes, this is what I wanted to write in here.

Last evening I was honoured to be a help to him finding the counter on our device. We also tired to flash a custome built kernel but it didn't boot so he almost gave up when I realised that - of course - the counter incremented once again after lfashing the custom kernel. So I sent him the necessary files and he compared them with the old ones.... and finally he found the place of the counter.

So I can confirm that it works! The only thing is that if you really want to go back to complete stock you need to lfash a stock ROM without custom recovery and root.

I suggest everyone who needs it to proceed to the Play Store and buy the app support this great developer

Thank you Chainfire once again!

---------- Post added at 06:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:17 AM ----------

Yes, I meant the palm swipe screen capture. Well I think yes, it will wipe everything but I always do a manual wipe after flashing every ROM. Well I bought my phone in East-Europe and used the Indian FW and also tried other. I couldn't flash the Chineese only. But it immediately failed after flashing the boot.img.

So based on my experience unlees you are flashing the ROMs from the same device you are good. But as always this is your own risk.

Let me know if I can help!

[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] yasirj:
What is binary counter? And what benefit? ?:confused:
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] rejocie001:
Samsung Mobile uses a custom binary counter to keep track of any Modding of firmwares and kernels done by users of their phones. Any flashing of roms/kernels not signed by Samsung will trigger an increase in this counter which can be viewed by putting your phone into download mode.Why is this important to you? This officially voids your warranty and tells warranty centers that you have broken your warranty which can give them rights to refuse or charge you for servicing your phone. Flashing a stock Samsung firmware signed by Samsung may also trigger the counter.
