[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] didi.be:
I've noticed the same problem.

Tell me this: does your phone lie face up or down when you put it on your night table ?

So far, I've only noticed the cut-off alarm when the phone is face down. Maybe it's related to the feature the phone has for silencing (if phone rings, put it face down and it will go silent).
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kvidli:
Just happened to me on stock non rooted official 4.1.2...It was face up if anyone's wonderin' :/
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carlosmg2:
I never put it face down. Always leave it face up.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] didi.be:
Ok, that's one thing we can rule out.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metalboy94:
It might however be indirectly because of that feature - for example, some bad sensor reading.

Since my last post my alarm has always rang, but I gave each of my (4) alarms a different name, and I happened to wake up a bit earlier than the alarm, wake the phone shortly to check the time, then go back to sleep.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vonuzu:
Happened again to me on Benz v3. Really don't know what is the problem.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] didi.be:
True.

FYI, I have a flip cover on my S III mini... maybe combination of sensors (proximity, orientation...)
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metalboy94:
Happened to me again just now. However I now know what's happening - the alarm seems to snooze itself. If you have snooze activated for the alarm it will ring again when the snooze timer ends (happened while I was typing this).
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carlosmg2:
so, a workaround would be to set the least snooze to be closer to the alarm time?
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metalboy94:
That is correct, it did the trick for me (even if I usually wake up even when the alarm rings for less than a second... guess I'm a light sleeper).
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vonuzu:
No snooze here and it happened again.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carlosmg2:
Same here. Tried no snooze and happened, and also tried with 'fake' snooze anda happened too. Why only few people has this issue? It's a stock ROM! and sure it's a software issue, not hardware. Nobody uses the alarm nowadays?
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vonuzu:
Flashed stock amb3, I rooted it with toolbox, and applied 4.2theme from enox. Now the alarm works ok.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkrain13:
Maybe Lock Screen Problem

Guys, this is a known problem on JB 4.1 across all touchwiz sgs3, sgs2, note2 etc. I believe it has all got to do with the new lock screen but still testing. The clock is not updating on deep sleep that's why alarm will never ring. if you wake up just before the alarm, turn on your phone and you will find that the alarm will work. How do you know that the clock is not working? sometimes when you screen on your phone after a while and see that the clock is not updated and will instantly update to correct time in the lock screen. I've disabled the lock screen for now and have not seen the problem yet but more people should try then we'll know if it will work.

Good luck!
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metalboy94:
It is not related to the lockscreen, the internal clock still updates perfectly (calendar events come in at the exact time). The problem is that the alarm stops on its own 1 second (or less) after starting (btw, I'm on AMD3 and this still happens, but snooze remains a good workaround).
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickboul:
Hello everyone.

I have the galaxy s3 mini for approximately 3 months.

I have noticed the alarm issue the last month.

When you experience this problem, do you have the phone connected to the charger?

Could the problem derive from a conflict of the notification that the battery is full and the alarm?

I have seen in another thread a post for a patch created. Unfortunately I have less that 10 post and I can not post to the topic.

Due to the fact that I am a noob, can anyone post a step by step guide on how to install the patch?
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metalboy94:
I never leave my phone in the charger during the night, so this can't be the source of the problem.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickboul:
Ok. Just sharing my thoughts. Did you install the patch?
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metalboy94:
I didn't. Sorry, I can't help you with installing. :(

So no one have a solution and no one knows where is the problem?! Only guesses!

Guys, we are ****ed up! :mad:

Anyone try to reach samsung on the matter?
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MotocRxss:
So far, for me, making sure the battery has enough power to last the night, and leaving the phone unplugged has worked for almost two weeks.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alin2307:
I have this problem too. My i8190 rings for 1 second or doesn't ring at all. Tested with NI4 and MD3. I think the sensors do not have an impact over the alarm. I think the alarm app is the problem.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joaosacramento:
So my phone is not receiving messages, and in Vodafone they said me they would have to upgrade my firmware.

I said I had the last firmware in my phone but they said the firmware they would install isn't available to be "installed at home", it's a special firmware..

The problem is... I have my phone rooted and I have deleted the Vodafone main apps, trough link2sd.

I don't know if I have to unroot it and to do a reset in order to update my firmware in Vodafone...

What do you think?

If I have to unroot it, how can I do it?

If I have to have the Vodafone main apps, a reset would install them?

Thanks
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vishrut Chhajer:
Try flashing in the latest firmware using ODIN ...that would automatically unroot it and see if you get the Vodafone main app and BTW..Did you insert your SIM in some other mobile and see ..if you receive messages ..if you do ..then do what I said ..flash latest firmware using ODID ..and if you don't ..then ..the problem is with your SIM !

Hit THANKS if this helped you :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BajoPrimate:
Hi Joaosacramento!

You could read this link

BEFORE anything:

You should make a nandroid backup of your phone and a titanium backup of your data and apps , download the last Vodafone firmware from http://www.sammobile.com and install it via odin, you'll lose your root, your dats and apps, but your phone will be as it was before rooting.

After this I think your phone'll recive messages, then root again and restore your dats and apps via titanium.

If the messages issue continues you could go to Vodafone and after the reparation root again and restore your dats and apps via titanium backup.

Good luck!

To me that looks like the Xperia ION has it's brightness and color saturation cranked all the way up. While some people think this looks better, it hasn't have to be better though. In my opinion, the Xperia Z lacks a bit of color calibration, but IMHO this could be resolved with a simple calibration app.

[Xperia Z General] xperiasblack:

Ion with jelly bean? What rom are you using?
[Xperia Z General] metcard:
It does look like a gamma calibration issue.

does android let you set the gamma settings via command line like on Linux?

eg. xgamma -gamma 1.000

Using linux as an example, it looks like the Z is set to 1.200 gamma, where .900 would suit most people's needs better.

Check it.

lowered gamma to .75
[Xperia Z General] Raedek:
Sv: Xperia Z vs Xperia Ion SCREEN comparison. Surprise inside!

A matter of preference.. I reckon the Z has more natural colours. The Ion has everything too high for my taste.. Ever seen Samsung TV's on factory settings? Same thing. Colours boosted beyond natural. But again, some prefer it that way.. I like the Z's colour better om these pics, though the ion pops more out so to speak. :)
[Xperia Z General] lokenok:
ion has officialy has the best display on a sony smartphone
[Xperia Z General] lee480:
I can assure you the screen is completely washed out. Is that bad unfortunately.
[Xperia Z General] PraxxtorCruel:
No, it's just you're used to over-saturated colours so when you see something thats natural it just doesn't look good enough. :good:
[Xperia Z General] lee480:
Hmmm... So blacks having a grey cast is oversaturating? Interesting.
[Xperia Z General] Codrea:
That is the weaknesa of lcd than amoled. Amoled produce better black and lcd produce better white
[Xperia Z General] PraxxtorCruel:
It's been said time and time again that the wallpaper did Sony no favours. Do you even have the phone or are you here just to prove some pointless argument which most of Xperia Z owners are happy with their phone?
[Xperia Z General] lee480:
This is not some pointless thread shooting Sony. Admittance is the first step to recovery. If there's a gamma tuning problem, Sony ought to know and fix the problem. And if it's a quality problem, Sony must know it can't repeat the mistake again. Most of us here love Sony. We want Sony have its fullest potential to destroy Samsung and Apple. If everybody keeps sweeping this issue under the carpet, this screen issue is going to come back in future Sony phones.

That's just my thoughts. Critics can destroy me now. :)
[Xperia Z General] Pikaz:
Agreed, apart from the destruction bit ;)

All my complaints over the Z are not just *****ing about the screen and the camera. I believe they are two issues which can be sorted out by software and Sony should admit it and fix it. The screen will always have poor viewing angles, but please sort out the gamma/colours.

[Xperia Z General] The things I tell you:
I've just loaded both wallpapers on to the lockscreen on my UK sim-free Z and it really does look nothing like yours.The colours are more vivid on my device although not as saturated as on your Ion, which has it's contrast too high IMO - the colours are more realistic on my Z (eg. the colour of the sky looks like sky whereas it's too much on your Ion).

I have to turn my Z to an extreme angle to make it look like yours.

Well - Long awaited and now regretted.

The new updates from the UK O2 website have been applied to my XDA per instructions but left me with a phone that does not dial out. It reports after a delay of 10-15 secs ,"The operation failed".

SIM card checks out in an another phone. All O2 technical have suggested is a repair and have sent me a body bag for the XDA!

I would like to try a reversion to an earlier firmware if anybody knows where to get it from.

Linux Script

by iamareebjamal

Automated Android script for extracting boot.img and bml15 partition​

Out of the time I was absent from XDA(13 hours :p) , I was searching for a method of extracting the kernel from your ROM

Imagine, you want to extract boot.img from your ROM but don't know what to do, you don't have internet to download the stock or custom kernel or simply want to extract it?

I did not find anything except the solution of Android Kitchen but what if you want to do it on your android?

As a bi product of this search, I got a lot of knowledge about the partitions used by Android system and the blocks that define them.

I also got basic knowledge about Linux Scripting.

So, I created this script that backs up your boot.img and bml15.img partitions.​

​

boot.img - kernel of your device

bootextractorv2.sh - Backs up your kernel

bml15.img - IMEI partition

bml15extractorv2.sh - Backs up your IMEI partition

Note:- SGY Toolbox also backs up and restores bml15_EFS.img. And that also with a nice user interface, I just created this mod, because I wanted to but I recommend newbies to use SGY Toolbox for backing up IMEI

However, I found no tool able to backup the kernel, so it may be very useful for some members

ChangeLog

*More Interactive
*More Intelligent
*Added Option to create Odin Flashable Tar package for kernel
*More Convinient

Requirements :​

Root Acess

Busybox

Android device

Hands

Terminal Emulator or Script Manager

(Script Manager recommended)​

Instructions​

Script Manager Method (Easy):-

1. Download Script Manager.

2.Download desired script and place it on sdcard.

3. Open Script Manager and enable browse as root.

4. Go to the downloaded script and click on the green android icon(root) in the pop up window.

5. Click on Run. Follow Instructions and enjoy

Terminal Emulator Method (Hard):

1. Download Terminal Emulator.

2. Download desired script and place it in the root of the sdcard.

(You can place it anywhere else but the directory should not have spaces and you will have to change the commands accordingly)

3. Open Terminal Emulator and type (After every command you have to press enter)

su

And Grant Root Access

Then, type

sh /sdcard/bootextractorv2.sh

or

sh /sdcard/bml15extractorv2.sh

according to the the script you want to run

4. Now, follow the instructions on screen and enjoy :)

Download bootextractorv2.sh
