[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Credrili:
No I haven't... I believe I disabled all share cast via built in "force disable". Are you saying I should enable it, update it, then freeze it via TB?

Thanks alot, this would explain the mystery. :laugh:

EDIT: What I mean to say is that I DO have All Share Cast, and some others with similar name (Dongle S/W, around 29MB)

EDIT: Ok.. then I suppose this means I must disable anything relating to All Share Cast. What about Kies? I read software can be updated from that as well, but prob only manually. Not sure.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Credrili:
I think I blocked off pretty much everything - wow, I should have rooted long ago. Coming from a rooted HTC Dinc, this phone is simply amazing.

I really don't want to lose root at the hand of Verizon though -- I believe I blocked all ShareCast junk and of course the SDM 1.0 service.

Can anyone let me know if this is good to protect from OTA updates? (Used Titanium Freeze method)

Thanks again.
[About XDA developers] BretonGirl:
There was an incident in the Falcon Pro thread in the Paid Apps section regarding a member posting threatening, abusive messages and glorifying piracy. I and a few others reported it and apparently a mod reviewed them because the posts were deleted along with some others, including one of mine. The mod didn't bother to post in the thread and I got no PM explaining why my post was deleted. It used to be when you reported a thread you got a "Your report is being reviewed" PM and a "Your report was reviewed and closed" PM. Why was that stopped? And is it too much to expect a mod who does housecleaning in a thread to post in said thread or at least PM to explain why a post was deleted? I get why that member's posts were-he was spewing death threats and other nasty things, but mine wasn't in violation as far as I know. The only reason I realized it had been deleted was because I noticed my Thanks meter had gone up quite a bit but when I checked my Thanked Posts nothing new was there. Anyway, just curious. I know moderating is a thankless job-keep up the good work!
[About XDA developers] Deadly:
That message system is still there.. but not all of the mods use it.. and in your case.. as it was pretty offensive post you reported.. my guess is it had multiple reports.. so others report might have been the one which was first and they might have got a pm saying its been taken care of.. I have not got any pm sometimes when cleaning is done. And they remove posts usually which connects to that incident and has no connection to that thread (relevant to thread actual topic) . So may be yours had only text about that incident..

And anyway, all the above talk is just speculation.. and one other thing is.. it totally depends on individual mod who handled your said posts report.. as I get only first message saying "thank you.. it is being taken care of" message..

And some mods use both.. the first one and the "thread cleaned/closed" or any action taken.. so, I guess it just depends on individual mods.. and I personally don't mind getting/not getting pm one way or the other..

[Nexus 7 Accessories] hotrodwinston:
Like a lot of nexus owners I bought one of those cheap slimline cases off ebay soon after getting my nexus. And like a lot of nexus owners was treated to the corners cracking after about 4 weeks. So after a chunk fell off mine I decided to do something. I had some foil tape laying around the house and decided to reattach the corner and foil coat my case to give it a Chrome look. I suck at crafty things though and didn't have any real tools (just my pocket knife) so it didn't turn out great - but I thought I would post some pics in case someone else wanted to try to save one of these cases from the trash heap.

Edit: will upload pics later - my internet is giving me fits right now.

Edit 2: image shack links are not seeming to work and xda upload is being very slow will keep trying.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bleakestknight:
So, where to start...

I rooted my Samsung Note II, and installed Frosty Jellybean. I was really hoping for the longpress back -> app kill like on cyanogen mod, and started switching roms, till I came across Omega. Not realizing how incompatible it was, I flashed anyway and lost radio. I immediately Odin'd back to stock and got radio back (efs / iemi fine). Then moved on to MyRom. Loved it, it was great, but then noticed duplications on my internal sd card....

the whole /0/ dir for 4.1.2, which at the time I thought was an error on my part from modding.... this is where I take a series of stupid moves

1) formatted the internal sd card with cwm.

2) reflashed odin using the pit file from SGH-t889V from this thread

This significantly hosed my phone, so I spent the weekend trying to understand how I could fix it without paying the warrenty deductible. I did a nandriod restore to a point right before I started modding, and finally got 4.1.1 to come up and not endlessly bootcycle. However, my internal SD card isn't mounting correctly (really at all), and I couldn't figure out how to use the fuse thing to get the vfat partition back and pointed to the right point in /dev/block/mmcblk3p?

So, I've triangled-away, now its a stock piece that

1) has no bluetooth

2) has no radio

3) will not come up as a usb device - the usb doesn't even see its there

-- UNLESS its in download mode, then comes up as a serial device

This leads me to believe that all the instancing scripts / settings that are supposed to run when the device powers on aren't coming up, though the init.d and fstab thingie look right(ish)

So, is this a lost cause - should I just make my claim, or is there some easy Heres-a-raw-dump-of-the-phone thing I have missed, that could get me back up and running?

Thanks,

** UPDATE **

I ran the firmware update through KIES and resolved this.,

it gets caught in a bootloop, I have to flash cwm to do a nandriod restore to before I started modding. that's where its at now.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] rlee008:
if you went from a 4.2.x rom back to a 4.1.x rom u might need to flash the "restore sdcard after downgrade.zip" script. its a mandatory step

Hi,

There is a new rom out.

For german O2 customers is the new rom available on the www.o2online.de

site.

Unfortunately it does not have the wmodem app and the other 3.17.03 extra stuff.

On the first view I did not see any changes to the 3.14.16 ger version before.

Does somebody know what the changes are?

regards,

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] itsme:
have not installed it yet.

but did look at the contents:

- 'hz.exe' = homezone. tool that has something to do with monitoring your cell id

- rilgsm.dll now has 'at+creg=2' string in it. probably the RIL_GetCellTowerInfo call is now implemented
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Silversurfer:
Yes, The home zone was always included. but it causes a problem with all rom versions of O2 germany that were available.

I thought the new version does not have this problem but it is still no solved.

Had lots of trouble re-rooting my T after upgrading to latest firmware (UK 9.1.A.1.140) via Sony Companion so thought I'd share how I eventually got it to work...

1. Did a normal upgrade via PC Companion which lost root and reset my phone to factory settings.

2. Went to root (since I use Titanium Backup) so I could restore, and although it appeared to work the final bit failed after the last reboot.

3. Having tried to get it to work time and again with factory resets in between, I flashed CWM for locked bootloaders and restarted in recovery. I did a full data wipe / factory reset in CWM and rebooted.

4. At this point TB still wouldn't get root but Flashtool was now telling me I had it, so I uninstalled and re-installed Superuser from the Play Store. I rebooted my phone and voila, root retained and now TB could obtain root via Superuser.

Haven't checked if NFC works yet as this is the last bit of bin4ry's script that always failed (due to Superuser not working properly) but that step could be run standalone if you know what you are doing!

UPDATE: just tried NFC with my SmartTags and seems to be working fine.

I was running CM 10.1 and started having issues last night with my phone (top) getting extremely hot and the the battery dying very quickly.

I have two genuine samsung batteries and its doing it with both. last night i plugged it in to the original samsung wall charger with a blackberry micro cable and the battery died faster than it could charge. The only way it would charge is if phone was switched off.

Today wiped everything including system, and factory reset, then installed PA, same problem.

wiped everything again installed official samsung ROM and official Rogers 4.1.2 kernel, didnt even insert my SIM, wifi switched off, not logged into google and no apps installed. Still getting very hot and battery draining quickly and its not even plugged in.

I had some issues with phone heating to some level , and that was (I think) due to radio , it was UCLA3 and mainly when using network data , the other radio which gave me heating problems was UCLI3

Not sure about the Rogers JB radio , the over heating is due to phone is using the full power of radio and / or cpu , which also makes you loose battery juice

according to my CPU states it looks like its running 1512 anytime its not in deep sleep which would explain the heat and rapid battery drain. It doesnt look like any process is running that could be doing it. And if it was doing it while on CM10, why would it still be doing it on bone stock?
