[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] jreinsc:
Hi everybody,

after trashing one SX56 when trying to upgrade using the ATT provided .exe file (from Siemens), I am thinking of upgrading my replacement SX56 with only the PDA part using the NK.NBF after unzipping. But before I start, I wanted to make sure that I have a guaranteed fail-back with bootloading the 2002 image using the SD card if anything goes wrong.

Has anybody done this successfully?

FYI: My first attempt results in either a white screen when going back to 2002, or a working WM2003 with no radio stack. Running RSUpgrade fails after 1% and asks for reboot, fails after 1% ...

Thanks in advance!

Joerg

If you do an sd card backup through the bootloader on your xda you can always go back, remember though that the sd card will then be in a special format, any further writes to the card by saving files etc will render the backup useless.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eia2088:
I just got a galaxy s3 a week ago.. I have experienced a lag on the keyboard a couple of times and I was okay with it. But then last night I experienced this keyboard issue, whenever I press backspace the L is also being pressed and it is so annoying! I found a solution, which actually works, I clear the cache on Settings - Application manager - All - Samsung keyboard - Clear Cache

i hope this trick should work everytime my keyboard went nuts again.

in addition to this, I also have noticed black spots everytime i read my ebooks at night, on a night theme (black background white letters). I have read that this is not an isolated case as many of s3 users are experiencing this. It doesnt bother me much then but my fear is that it might turn noticeable like even in the white screen.

Since I still have a few days replacement warranty, should i ask for a replacement phone? will it worth my time and effort to get a replacement or there is still no assurance I wont be having the same problems like this anymore.

I am new to android, I have been a long time apple user. So far I am enjoying my use but if problems like this I might be considering going back to the boring OS and user interface of apple.

One return to vendor not happy buy an apple .

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eia2088:
thank you for a quick reply.

actually that would be my last option as I am really enjoying the android experience.

honestly I can live with this issues as long as:

-black spots will not be visible on a white screen

-black spots will not multiply

-keyboard issues will always be fixed by the trick I posted up there

and I also wanted to know if a replacement phone will be an assurance that I will not experience same issues again.

I'm on rxtreme 7.1 and use my external SD for anything I can. My phone storage is 10.92gb. I wouldn't worry about it :)

Hope you enjoy the rom, its a the best I've tried
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] junaidi2:
Me too... but not a problem.. i think i9305 has slightly less available memory than i9300.. but normally any phones' available memory will always be less than stated by the company... like my 32gb sandisk memory card.. available memory is aroumd 29gb.. its normal so dont worry about it

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] MrMiami81:
Maybe I should have clarified.. Preferably looking for a free app or website to stream movies.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Herc08:
Most of those are warez. Netflix is your legal bet.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] MrMiami81:
I have Netflix.. I don't necessarily like the movie choices so I was looking for other options.. Thanks for all the replies though gentlemen..
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] area51avenger:
If you are looking for an illegal app, that breaks the rules on xda and people have been banned for posting such. Google is a better bet

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] DESERT.TECH:
A legal site for streaming is twitch.tv/Justin.tv . They are owned by same company, twitch mainly streams live video game feeds and Justin streams movies. Just pick the entertainment option or you will see all streamed channels

Most big TV stations stream shows on their site the next day. Not all sites work on the phone though.

netflix

I have a Netflix issue. I have googled this and not found anyone else with this problem. My Netflix on my HTC one x is awful quality. I have a nexus 4 an LG optimus g a Motorola razr and a razr v. They all stream Netflix in great quality. For some reason unknown to me my HTC one x looks terrible. You tube looks great???? I think it has something to do with the tegra 3 but I don't really know. Can anyone here provide a solution or at least an explanation???

The new Play Store is apparently rolling out across devices today. Anyone got it yet?

APK would be nice :)

Saw this too, tried to force an update by clearing cache and data for Play Store and Services Framework but no such success, guess I'll have to wait.
[Android General] thehairybaboon:
I think the new version is going to be announced as part of key lime pie at Google io... It would make more sense than a random roll out when io is only a bit away

[Android General] xXxG0dzRAgexXx:
I think it looks so much nicer. More like there other application style with the minimal white/grey (it still could be better). It's more mature looking. I feel like there moving away from that black and neon like style they have in android and if that's the case ill be extremely happy. I find that stock android is quite hideous due to that black and neon colors. Part of the reason I want the One is because sense is much cleaner to me.

I have been unable to send or receive MMS messages to/from anyone. Outgoing messages just get stuck at "sending" and I've had multiple people try to send me an MMS. I believe my APN settings are correct based on other threads here. Has anyone else seen/dealt with/have a solution for this bug?

I'm currently running CM10.1 April 8 Nightly off of a clean complete wipe flash, but I believe the problem has occurred with prior versions as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mrfeuss:
I saw some commits related to unicode encoding with the MMS app. It's possible (Disclaimer: I am not a dev, these are just theories) that these have something to do with the MMS issue. You could extract the MMS.apk from a prior build (where your MMS was still functional) and push it to /system/apps, rename your current MMS.apk to MMS.bak (just in case), set permissions to R-W, R, R, then reboot. If that works then we know there's an issue with the CM commits to the MMS.apk.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] briguy42:
I've been having the same issue since sometime in march. Also running CM nightlines. I've read it may be something to do with the Access Point Names but no solution is given
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mrfeuss:
What that means is that your APN's might not be configured properly. Compare them to the ones listed here. If that doesn't fix the MMS issue then we'll have to investigate further.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dcvito:
I've checked out and even rebuild my APN's multiple times to troubleshoot to no avail.... Let's see what ideas we can come up with... Thanks for the help so far.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mrfeuss:
Hmm. Interesting. And you're using the stock MMS app in the CM Nightlies? Have you tried updating to a newer version?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dcvito:
Yes, stock messaging app included with the CM nightlies. What are you recommending that I update?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bryanclane:
I had that issue at one time on my stock rooted unit. Turns out that AT&T had changed something on the network side and my account didn't get changed. You might call them and check the settings.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dcvito:
I've put in a trouble call with AT&T hopefully they find something....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dcvito:
So according to AT&T there are no network problems but my phone is not responding to push notifications from them. They want me to bring it into a "core" store to have it checked out (not going to happen on behalf of the rooting/custom ROM). I'm wondering if my Android ID#/device hostname may have changed when I did a full wipe? Although I'm not even sure that would have any effect on my problem. I'm just tossing out ideas.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mrfeuss:
If I were you I'd just make a nandroid backup of my current setup, transfer that (and any other important data) to either my external or PC, ODIN back to stock and head over to an AT&T store. Just my two cents. You can always re-root and flash a custom ROM again. If you'd corrupted something through flashing (not saying you did, just a thought) getting AT&T to straighten it out and then going custom from there might be your best option.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bryanclane:
Sinnce AT&T uses the IMEI number as the ID for the device, that wouldn't be the issue you aren't receiving push messages. I agree with mrfeuss, back up the phone, flash the stock rom, and go have AT&T fix it on their end. Then you can re-root and install your custom ROM again. Better to have them look at it than live without MMS.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jd1639:
Check mms after returning to stock as that may solve your problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dcvito:
I was afraid that was going to be the suggestion.... Guess I'll start my Firmware DL and backup now... here we go lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dcvito:
Just used Odin to flash back to stock. After the Odin reboot how long should it take for the phone to start up? I've been sitting on the ATT logo screen for a few minutes now.... please don't tell me I bricked....

Never mind, figured out my own mistake..... Always factory reset/clear data before flashing!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jd1639:
Not bricked. Boot it into recovery and do s factory reset. It'll fix it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dcvito:
Looks like MMS is working fine now that I am back to stock..... But damn I hate all of this bloat ware....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mrfeuss:
You could try a different ROM. I'm on Slim Official Build 4.2 without any MMS issues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dcvito:
SOLUTION!! It was Ad Block Plus!!

It was Ad Block Plus!!

The app was blocking MMS messages. It was as simple as... MMS working..... install ABP.... MMS not working.... Remove ABP.... MMS working!

A quick google search found threads with people having the same findings on other Samsung platforms... Problem Solved!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mrfeuss:
Wow! That's awesome that you got it straightened out. Sucks about ABP, though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dcvito:
Yup it does but all of the posts I've found say that AdAway doesn't have the same issue so it's time to go do some more side loading and testing. I like having an ad blocker... even if Google tries to stop it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] eagercrow:
WOW!!!

THANK YOU!!!

I've been pulling my hair out trying to figure out why my mms wasn't working, earlier I installed AdBlock. :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dcvito:
Glad I could help! I replaced it with AdAway and have had no issues so far.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] briguy42:
I flashed to the 4/29 CM nightline but this time did 3 factory data wipes, cleared cache, then flashed the new rom and mms started working. I also use ABP and in wiping the data I removed superuser access for the app, once I re-opened ABP and gave it super user mms stopped working again so I believe this to be the cause.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
We've already established the cause

[LG Optimus G (International)] royoshukrun:
I have the Bell Canadian Optimus G and I like to switch between stock and AOSP ROMs sometimes. The problem is that, unlike my old phone, whenever I go back to a stock ROM after an AOSP one all of the data on my internal memory is moved to a folder labeled "0" in the internal sdcard. It screws up my backups from my stock ROM because all of the apps expect the data to be in the root of the internal memory. Is there a way to prevent the AOSP ROMs from moving the files to the 0 folder or a better way to deal with it?

I appreciate all help!! Thanks in advance,
[LG Optimus G (International)] mandroid717:
i downloaded root explorer just see if it viewed the folder with the 0 and it does not. it views it as sdcard. strange.
[LG Optimus G (International)] DraginMagik:
any info on the reason for having the sdcard0, sdcard1 and emulated folders would be appreciated.
[LG Optimus G (International)] royoshukrun:
That IS strange. And yeah, it keeps the second sdcard there, too, which is always empty and so useless. I'm afraid to delete it though.

Maybe it's because the ROMs are based on the Nexus ROMs and the Nexus is formatted that way? (I don't actually know if the nexus is formatted that way, this is just a guess).

For all those who are mildly paranoid about being monitored how much do we really know about the following: The XDA2 changes hands, is the original owner's info still linked to it; the XDA2 is barred, when using it as a PDA does it still send out signals? if so, can these signals be located? can the XDA2 be used to surf without a sim card, if so, are the signals posted to anyone?

When the radio is switched on the xda sends the imei whether a sim is in place or not, the information of a previous owner is lost once a hard reset is carried out, however some people think that by unclicking permanant save, that the data is lost, well that isnt true because if the next owner switches it back on and you were using the feature before, he will have access to all your data, the only way I found was to delete all contacts, check permanent save, reboot then uncheck it. There is no way known at the moment that is public knowledge that allows you to manipulate imei on xda2. I understand that there are calls from the uk government to have all imei numbers in hardware rather than firmware/software to make it almost impossible to change identity. Just because you are paranoid doesnt mean they arent out to get you. :shock:

Thank you you seem to be THE authority on XDA! You say ""When the radio is switched on the xda sends the imei whether a sim is in place or not"" I am not sure I understand the concept of 'radio' in the xda2. can the radio be switched off/disabled? what signals are sent and how are these managed, by whom? because there is now billing requirement why should this radio signal be monitored?
