[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lusterboi:
Hi,

I currently have a samsung galaxy s3 branded on at&t running on 4.1.1 (model: SGH - 1747)

However, it does not have chinese language on it and I need to have it installed. After searching the web, it seems the only way is to flash a firmware over it. How do I do this?

I had downloaded Odin and a Unbranded firmware. However I'm not sure if the firmware is right for it. I9300XXDLJ4

If I flash this firmware over my existing at&t branded on, would it work ? Or will the phone not work anymore?

Thank you.

It's urgent.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coltlv1994:
Frankly, I think that's impossible. I have a Galaxy SIII GT-I9308, which is customed for CHINA MOBILE. When I flash XXELLA and replaced the modem.bin, it seems to be bricked....
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
DON'T FLASH IT!

You don't have an international i9300 do you! So don't flash it or you will possibly end up with a paperweight
[AT&T LG Optimus G] N12X93R:
Not sure what the deal is, but my OG has the worst WiFi reception. Multiple routers to test as well. Just poor reception every network. WiFi will drop out often, and the signal is kinda whack. It'll show full strength then drop to a circle and eventually drop out after and reconnect with like 2 bars.

Anyone else having this issue?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] johnbyebye:
It would be best to provide additional details. Are you using a custom ROM or are you stock? Are you rooted/unlocked? When did the issue start?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] N12X93R:
Running the JB Canada Rom. I didn't have it long before I unlocked the bootloader. But right around when I rooted it, I suppose. It's been a universal problem though through different roms. I've only flashed a CPU kernel, but it shouldn't be active anymore.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] intercede007:
I don't have any of those issues on a stock phone with the current software version. I've used it with an Airport Extreme and a myriad of others wherever I'm at. I've never had a problem that was the phones fault.

After I made sure that the ATT smart wifi app was happy after I got the phone all has been well. That app seems to be the common thread running through all of these threads.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Alpione:
I also have funky Wi-Fi issues with the JB ROM. It'll be working fine and just drop for no reason. Disabling and reenabling fixes it temporarily. I've read it's a common issue in 4.1. Annoying.

I don't experience the problem but having to use 2.4 ghz is hokey. That band is saturated to hell and gone, even in Arkansas. But 5ghz lets me transfer crap across my lan at around 290mbps

Ok so the physical volume button affects the ringer volume but it doesn't affect the notification volume like older versions of android did. Is there anyway to change that so they both increase and decrease when pressed?

Up till now, no video shows z has LED status light, but zl has. Anyone who has got the xperia z , could you check that does it has a LED light ?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hush66:
I can confirm that it does have an LED notification light at the top-right corner.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ethan3686:
It has an led light..But the main question is that does it work only for charge/battery status..Or also for notifications like sms,mail,status etc..
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hush66:
It works fine with Facebook, SMS, WhatsApp, etc notifications.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ethan3686:
nice to get a confirmation from somebody actually using it :)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parapaul:
Another question then, please - how bright is it?

The Xperia S has an LED that would light up a dark room at night, it was ridiculously bright. The Xperia T is the exact opposite - unless you're in a dark room it's quite tricky to see the LED flashing. A comparison to either of those would be brilliant, thanks.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RCJ89:
Having used a xperia z for over 2 hours. it does have a notification light, like previous sony phones such as the xperia s etc.

The LED itself looks the same size as the one on the xperia s but not as bright. It is fairly brighter than the pointless dull pinhole size nonsense that was on the xperia T, hope that helps.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parapaul:
It does, thanks, perfect answer! :)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RCJ89:
Your absolutely welcome mate, the LED notification light was one of the first things I compared on the Z to the S and T because I loved the LED on the S, never found it too bright atall. The T is just irrelevant tbh it may aswell not have one. The one on the z is just perfect imo, the best phone I have ever used.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parapaul:
Really? My OH had an Xperia S until she dropped it. At night, if she got a text, the LED was so bright that the phone lying on the bedside table would light up the ceiling enough to see the artex pattern!
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RCJ89:
I know to some people its a drawback but It didnt bother me that it was that bright. I like the fact it is.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xiFIL:
How did you find battery life on the xperia Z, personally to meet your needs?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hush66:
I haven't truly tested the battery as I'm still using my Xperia S primarily, so I can't say for sure. The Xperia Z is mostly at home and on Wifi connection, so that's not a good indication of battery life.

I did take it out when I went out for drinks the other day. I left home at full charge at around 730pm, the phone was connected to 3G, I took quite a number of photos, surfed quite a bit, showed off the screen and videos to my friends, came home drunk at 2am, slept until 2pm (I know I know) and the phone was still at 57%. :good:
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akiainavas:
So it again proves the 48 hours battery life with normal use. That's pretty decent for me, could have been better, but on the other hand Note 2 has 3100mah and it barely survives 48 hours.

BTW. Why would you use S when you have Z ? ;)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hush66:
Cos the Xperia Z isn't really mine as I would have to return it in 2 weeks. I'm also rather lazy to transfer my data between the 2 phones now, and then again when I have to return the XZ. :silly:
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00431:
Was that with Stamina Mode on Hush?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hush66:
No, I didn't turn on Stamina mode.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akiainavas:
Oh, ok. Too bad you have to return it - i would get too attached ;)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xiFIL:
Wow thats brilliant! Thanks :D! And no drink and driving :(!
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yhw22:
Sorry, just got Xperia Z, the Notification Light since like does not work. Do you mean that when Stamina Mode is turn On, it will not function? The Notification Light works on certain Application, so what are the applications? SMS, Email, Whatsapp? Thanks.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hush66:
Try a factory reset. The notification lights should work after that.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yhw22:
Thanks. It since like functioning. I need to monitor as now still charging. :D
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brambizimski:
Wouldn't that erase your DRM keys? I read that somewhere here.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hush66:
I think you've confused this with unlocking of bootloader. Factory reset merely wipes all user data. Unlocking of bootloader will delete DRM keys (and wipe user data).
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yhw22:
Yup, it works, but when i turn on Stamina mode and I had added the application too. But the notification light doesn't blink. Note I saw an email icon on the taskbar. Please advise. Tks.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warren.D:
I read somewhere that Stamina mode disables led activity.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yhw22:
Oic. No wonder. Got sound but the notification light is not functioning. :(

Need to turn off Stamina Mode then re-start phone to take effect based on someone else advise.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skyes113:
If anyone is using lightflow on xperia Z, please help me check if white color notification light is displayed correctly?

Mine always show a light purple instead of pure white. Wondering if it's just my set. Thanks.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasK:
Yup.. it's not pure white. It has a slight tint of pink.

I would say that's normal. Not the first device I've encountered this. I think the S3 was worse in LED color accuracy.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FlooDnl:
The notification fix:

1 go to Settings - back up and restore - untick Backup my data and Auto restore

2 reset the phone

3 once the phone is switched on follow the wizard installation

But do not back up ur data install everything manually... at setting up your google account. took us 3 days to find this on the sony forum with other ppl having this issue
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smartbaby:
Thanks.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bigmille:
Thanks for the head up. However, this is a deal breaker for me. After setting up 100 apps I'm not willing to go through the whole process of installing them manually.

I also need Google backup for bunch of wifi passwords.

Along with the poor build quality on my Z, I'm going to send it back to Sony and decide if I should ask for a refund based on the time it takes them to send a replacement.

Hi, thank. It is working now.

problem

notification led works for me only when charging...so my previous happiness is over :eek:

---------- Post added at 12:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:57 PM ----------

can i use titanium backup to restore my apps ? and have it working
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hush66:
I heard from another forum that this works: delete your Google account from Settings, and then add it back again. During the latter process, uncheck the option to backup to Google. LED notifications should work after that.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koobi:
Did not work for me. The led have never worked. Like the others, i dont want to reinstall everything again. The led only shows red when battery is low or orange when charging or green when finished, but never on WhattsApp or SMS. Kinda annoying.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] julienms79:
Hey all ! Sry for my bad english, my experience is the led works after instal rom aur on locked bootloader , work after re root and cwm. BUT stop working after restore my apk with titanium. I think the led is not compatible with an app but i have restore 170 app so ... hard to find.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radarwolf:
I use the LightFlow app from the Play store. It is very handy and never had issues with a not working LED :D
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robogo1982:
Well... I am wondering the same thing, so I'll try that out now.

EDIT 1: reset the phone, avoided everything even remotely related to restoring anything, signed in to Google acc to download WhatsApp. LED notification works.

EDIT 2:

restored all my data with Titanium Backup, and the LED still works.

EDIT 3: changed LED notification colour in WhatsApp to yellow (someone on Sony forums advised against this as it messes up the LED notification system), it still works.

EDIT 4: restored some data with MyBackupPro - LED still works.

EDIT 5: rebooted my phone a couple of times, all is well so far. Only thing left is to test it out with Stamina mode (the hacked SuperStamina.apk).

EDIT 6: still works with hacked Stamina APK, blinks when using Stamina mode (or not).

EDIT 7: I still haven't enabled Google backup on the phone, I don't want to lose my LED :D

Is fast boot supported in windows 8. The desktop version. Whn I couldn't install the fast boot drivers. I Google a lot and came up with a solution. Seems Microsoft wanted to hide it. Even then I can't get fast boot. When I do it it stops and says unrecognised command 'bork'. I have no idea what it means.

Press the "thanks", button if I helped you.

I am wondering, is the otterbox the best screen protector for protection? It seems like it is, since it sits off the screen, and would be really hard to scratch, but is a DBA or Amzer, or one of the just like glass ones better? just wanted to see people's opinions,

Thanks,

Pretty much I want BEST drop/scratch protection!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] TheBDub:
I ordered a voyager 2 tempered glass screen protector. I HATED that built in screen protector and the plastic protectors don't work for me so well since I work and go to school in full fluorescent lighting. Should be here in a week.

I wouldn't dream of any other case than Otter Box. I've had one on each of my Notes and one on a work phone. Keeps phones in pristine condition.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ac16313:
Top bulky for me I'd rather break my phone on one drop than hide it that much. I use just like glad easy install, that is if You aren't bugged by a wet install. The only thing is it has a rainbow effect to it with the screen off only though so it's not that bad .
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] soulesschild:
I use both the JLG and Defender protectors at the same time. No issues.

The main issue with the Defender is that the gap between the home button can allow dust/sand/grit to get under the protector and scratch it up. The JLG prevents that :) Also if I swap cases for whatever reason, the screen will still be protected.

I bought a 5 pack or regular ones off amazon and the work great. Had an otterbox but it seemed like the screen protector was super thick.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Lethe6:
Thanks for the guide. Before I give it a shot, I have a few questions. Are you aware if:

- The HDMI output works (don't care much about audio but some may)?

- It suffers the same random freezes as Lunbuntu does? Mine freezes randomly while doing trivial tasks, such as creating a desktop shortcut lol :\ Trying to get a stable one going!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] TomTcom:
Re: Guide for Raring & GNOME-CORE using [Win32/64][Dual Boot] Tubuntu for x3Maniac Th

[Eee Pad Transformer General] TomTcom:
Re: Guide for Raring & GNOME-CORE using [Win32/64][Dual Boot] Tubuntu for x3Maniac Th

Let me refine my statement...I think many of my freezes were due to suspend and a few other little things. Also probably some of them were my fault too.

So ! Defaut DM is gdm.

Before the exit 0 at the end, add "onboard&"

Then save and reboot ;)

( You can add options like size and position to the command, look into onboard man )

( Dont forget the & otherway, You'll got to log in text mode and add it cause if there is no &, Onboard appear and nothing append, screen stay black )

Any ideas?

In dconf editor you can tell it to use the defaults config file but it appears to reset each time onboard is closed...hmmm..not sure the next step.
