If you are on CM Rom Try to reflash Gapps first, if not then backup your files and do nandrop, then wipe your Data/Cache/Dalvik and System, and reflash the whole Rom again...

I had the same problem in the past and I couldn't fixed it till I reflashed the whole rom again...thank god it never happend to me again since then...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AngelsNecropolis:
I installed Slim rom and it moved all of my previous sdcard files to a different location. I tried to use ES File Explorer to move all the data (2.85gb) to the new sdcard location. Once the process completed there's a message saying low storage space when I should have 3.25gb avail.

*

I checked the location where it was supposed to move the previous sdcard files to the new location and instead it created many duplicates of the current roms sdcard location (inception style) and repeated until there was no space left.

*

I found the previous sdcard location under mnt/shell/emulated/. I selected to move the emulated folder. I don't know if this "emulated" is some sort of special android folder that I'm not supposed to mess with or not and maybe that caused this issue.

*

But then, when I went to the folder where the previous files were located and browsed it, all of the files are listed as having a file size of 0.00 and clicking on properties for any folder shows 0 folder size. So I can see the files there but its as if they have been overwritten or made inaccessible. So I'm a bit pissed at this point because I can't find where the files were moved to and the old files seem to have no file size. Yet, after deleting the repeated copied info it only freed up the 3.25gb of space. So it's as if my old files are still taking up space somewhere but I can't get to them or open them.

*

Next, I decided to move those old files again and this time I placed them on my extsdcard. When I moved the files again they were completely viewable and accessible, from the extsdcard, even though they can't be accessed at my old location. I also used multiple root browsers and none could access the old files at the old location.

*

Any ideas what could have gone wrong?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RPelham:
It appears you are running a recovery that is not supported by Android 4.2.

Since android 4.2 modified the directory layout to make way for multi user support, recoveries had to be updated to flash properly.

You will need to more than likely move your data files to your computer by hand, delete all of the extra and then reimplement your data to the appropriate folder.

Make sure you update your recovery as well so you don't see this on future 4.2 flashes.

When 4.2 first released this was a common issue with recoveries. Once you get your data and apps backed up appropriately, you may need to wipe your data/internal storage to free up the "used" space. I put used in quotes because it may appear its not taking any space at all when in all actuality it is.

I'm using the latest TWRP 2.3.3.1 I think is the version. Is that not a compatible recovery?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RPelham:
Hmm... latest is 2.4.1.0 but 2.3.3.1 was definitely compatible... sounds like there's a different underlying issue out of my realm of expertise. We'll have to wait for someone else to come along. Sorry man =/
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AngelsNecropolis:
I'll update my recovery anyways. I've fixed the problem by moving everything again but in smaller sections.

So I set up a basic Pbx'es account and use sipdroid and surprisingly its working flawless with near perfect reception in my city (even on the road on 4G)

I did not port my number as I will text through my main line, and answer real quick call that come through my original Tmo number and call them back via Sipdroid. I rarely ever use my phone for calls.

The thing is I want to be able to use my main number over wifi while at home. Wifi is currently on (and I have the notification reading Wi-Fi calling ready, when I even make a call via my main number the blue wifi call goes GREEN, but its really not using wifi....

I already burned through 25 minutes on my 100 minute plan trusting wifi calling.....

any idea why this is not working?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] whatsitsnamenow:
Wifi calling does work, as you have just used it to make 25 minutes of calling. It just count against your minutes because you are prepaid.

There is much confusion around this.

You have to be in a qualifying contract plan for the service to not use your minutes. I'm in a classic 500 minutes plan and can yap all day long on wifi calling without using my minutes.

On prepaid this is only beneficial to the user if he/she is in a bad signal area (i.e. basement) and would not be able to make a phone call without the wifi calling feature.

When they say it is free, it is in a sense that they don't charge extra to use that feature.

I put the sim from galaxy into my old phone activated it same number and all and it works fine. Now I have a new galaxy s3 here that I am not using at all. Can I sell it without the buyer having any problems activating it? Will it still be attached to my account. Not sure how this works. I have never did this before

I know this is prob a dumb ? but i just wanna make sure before I sell it.
[General Questions and Answers] bodh:
The phone would be carrier-locked to tmobile and probably to your account. Im guessing you paid a subsidized price for it, like $100, and it's so cheap because they intend to recoup the actual cost over the life of your contract. Contact them and see what they have to say.

I've been sticking with ICS on my at&t s3 since I updated to jellybean on kies and had to revert back via Odin. Reason being is because after I updated my phone kept dropping data and the battery which usually lasted 14 hours lasted only 6 hours.

My question is if the OTA update has fixed any of the bugs. Also, do I really need to update to jellybean? I'm curious on what I'm missing but I am also reading about all of the bugs.

I am full stock ics right now.

Thank you

Re: Jelluly Bean question

I had updated via kies and I never experienced the issues you stated. It ran pretty smooth. Battery life didn't seem to be affected to much for me.

Only thing you are really missing out in is Smoother Interface Transitions, Google Now, Improved Voice Search (pretty much comparable to Siri), Improved Notification Bar (with expandable notifications) and some other UI improvements. See this link for more info: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_version_history

Its possible your first upgrade was a bad flash.

Re: Jelluly Bean question

Yeah I thought about that and then my second child was born so everything that wasn't on the main burner got put on hold so I never got back to updating it again truth be told. When I got the pop up from at&t about the OTA I Google searched and found that its about 50/50 for those that have problems and those who don't.

If and when I do update should I factory reset my phone before or after?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Nabbu:
So far my experience has been similar to yours as for the battery life. I was getting 14+ hours on stock ICS after calibrating but after I tried calibrating Jellybean I maxed out at 6-7 hours.

I heard that there is a bug where if the SD card is installed it drains the battery.

Try removing the sd card and then reflash the Rom and root then calibrate.

Also it might take a clean flash without the sd card in to make the battery better in jelly bean. Wipe data/factory reset and then, if using Odin to flash 4.1.1, enter download mode (volume down + Home button + power button).

To answer your question about the bugs, battery life, no they aren't fixed but they can be worked around. I'm getting 16 hours on jelly bean right now.

[HTC Desire X] flar2:
This is a kernel module that defeats HTC's system write protection

Devs are free to use this in their ROMs, just credit me and link here ;)

How to use:

copy the module to your device (eg: /system/lib/modules), insert the module, then remount system

insmod /system/lib/modules/wp_mod2.ko

mount -o remount,rw /system

This must be done at boot, if you make changes to /system, then load the module, you risk corrupting the filesystem.

How to implement in ROMs

There are two good ways to implement this in ROMs:

1. make an init.d script containing the commands above

or

2. add the commands to init.rc in the ramdisk

NOTE TO POTENTIAL KERNEL DEVS:

The module would not be necessary if you make a custom kernel. Simply make sure it is compiled without CONFIG_MMC_MUST_PREVENT_WP_VIOLATION

Please hit the Thanks button if you download this

Thanks. Not much new there other than Barnacle. Didn't know about it, tried it, doesn't work on my phone. I would like to see a version of WiFi Tether with some more options though, why couldn't we have one with the same options as DD-WRT?

I did some more reading and I think what I need to do is link the subnet created by the router to the primary router (the phone serving Wifi Tether) through static routing. Unfortunately the static route needs to be done through the primary router and WiFi Tether doesn't include features like that.

DD-WRT Client Bridge worked for me

I was able to do what you're trying to do by configuring my DD-WRT router as a Client Bridge.

I can't post the link, but there are directions I followed exactly on the DD-WRT wiki in the section:

DD-WRT wiki mainpage / Linking Routers / Client Bridged

I'm connecting my router to the tether via wifi, and connecting my wired devices to the router. I haven't had it working long, but so far it has been great.
[General Questions and Answers] eghost57:
Got it, sort of

Just to update this thread. The client bridge is a great way to connect a wired network to the bridge but loses out on creating a stable wi-fi network when the phone tether is turned off.

Anyway, the final setup I managed was having the DD-WRT router set as a wireless repeater with a computer connected to it running a DHCP server. The computer takes care of the IP addreses so that we have a stable wired/wi-fi intranet when the phone is not sharing it's internet connection.

I kind of like the USB tether thing. The E3000 Router USB power charges and maintains my SCH-i605 (Verizon Samsung GN2) running CM12.1.

[General Questions and Answers] Mike7143:
I just bought a used Asus RT-N66U router. Out of the box it supports USB tethering with android phones and dual WANs for failover/load balancing. ROOter also works, tested the x86 build on an old PC. I'm looking to cut out my ISP completely and just use 4G from the phone for internet. The issue I have run into is that I can't appear to do DDNS or port forwarding. My wireless carrier (verizon) appears to be employing a double NAT. If I perform a speedtest on the ookla app, I get 2 IP addresses in the results, an "internal" and an "external". Both are in the public range but I can't DDNS in with either of the IPs, nor can I get any kind of service working.

Anyone have a solution for this? I'm not 100% sure but I wonder if using the SIM card in a dedicated USB 4G modem (not tethering via the phone) would get me a direct IP? I suppose I could also sign up for a VPN service and run OpenVPN on the router but that'd cut down on speeds I think. I've also heard about punching holes for ports but I'm not 100% sure how that works, I assume I still need some 3rd party public IP for relaying or something.

Ok, so I purchased this NOTE II on Black Friday. I have not rooted it. I am having a little issue with this phone doing something weird.

I use Go SMS, Facebook, Twitter, Page Manager, Gtalk and Gmail app. I usually set up costumed notifications and for all apps I use. I just like to tell things apart by the sound. Anyway, after a while all my notification sounds reset to default (silent) and vibrate. It's weird. I have un installed updates,turned off nfc, removed GoSMS, I have re updated , resetted my phone to factory defaults twice and it keeps happening...I have a feeling that the Block setting can go hay wire and causes it.

Anyone has any ideas how I can stop this, fix this or prevent it? What is the cure?

I think it has to do with your sd card, when i got my s3, i transferred my music and custom notification in my sd, made a folder same spelling as the notification, ring tone folders in the internal sd so the phone will show you all the notification tone and music when your selecting custom tones. When i plug my s3 to my computer to transfer more, your pc had the priority with your sd, so your phone goes back to default. So i just set it up again.
