Hallelujah !!!

That worked. Thanks so much tobiascuypers !!!

Either I was blind or it was never mentioned but I did not see anywhere that said to wipe data. I'm now running CM10.1 ROM on Kindle Fire :good: Not sure if I want to mess with now by tring to install AOKP if there is any real benefit to doing so.

Thanks again !!!

Also remember before you go and install any custom rom or root you phone make sure you do all your research first. To all the noobs out there. Before you root your phone understand you forfeit your warranty by doing so. make sure the root is for your make model of said phone. And after root has been done remember to FLASH (clockwork mod). After that then choose which rom you want and make sure its compatibly sound with your device. I run AOKP and love it.

So i want it to try the Pre=Release JB 4.2.2 so i backup my rom trough CWM so then i went and installed I9300XXUFME7_I9300OXAFME7_OXA trough Odin and it delete my cwm backups arggg so I'm searching how to recover it from the internal SD of the pone if any one can help me i be grateful
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glebun:
you mean you did a factory reset? you can't recover any files after that.

check /data/media

i'm afraid i did the Factory resset format cache format data and format system but the thing is i did this before and my backups were still there i guess when i install the JB 4.2.2 Odin it format the whole internal memory :( so on the backup i had important files i would like to know if it is posible to recover the image of that backup!!!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glebun:
so did you check /data/media? if you formatted the internal sd, you can't recover the data
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
There is no official 4.2.1, if you went from 4.1 to 4.2 then your data should still be in the memory, inside a folder called '0'. If you did format the internal storage then it's gone for ever.

I don't have any screen protector, the glass itself looks like deeper somewhere... ONLY IF WET.. The phone few weeks old... Its already my second s3 phone, because the first went wrong. I dont wan't to send back again... I can live with it... I just curious is someone else experienced same thing with gorilla glass?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
Looks like something is wearing off the glass, seen an effect similar on a Panasonic toughbook with an early touch screen and anti-glare coating that wore away. Afaik the glass on these phones doesn't come with any protective coating so I'd try cleaning it all off, what ever it is.

Edit. Just read your post again, did you get replacement phone from Samsung or another source? Maybe replacement screen fitted with non-standard glass?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Is it inside or outside? Its hard to tell from the picture.

If inside, it could be the glass coming away from the LOCA (liquid ocular clear adhesive) that sticks the glass to the screen
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nsx82:
I got my replacement phone from a retailer where originally i bought the first phone, but i saw strange "damages" on the phone from the very first time.. Hard to say as damage.. but for example the screen was look like dirty between glass and bezel (or some very thin white rhing was there)... another is a thin chrome-like paint layer missing on 3-4mm at the rear camera corner.. But the phone came in an original SEALED box.. so everything was look like a factory one.. I dont think the retailer shop playing with me... but this phone really looks like a refurbished. So i donno.. I was searching on the internet about gorilla glass problems but i didnt see anything like this...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nsx82:
its hard to say for me also.. I guess its maybe outside, and something like the glass is deeper. This all not so visible, I just noticed today and i using the phone more weeks now... I just noticed that I always see the same "pattern" when the screen a litle bit wet or has some fat on the top from my finger... If i clean it up as its possible, you cant see at all, just from certain viewpoint - also very transparent..

The picture that I uploaded is brighted up with photoshop, and i was breath on the screen.. But always the same pattern comes back.. I cant do anything.

Strange.... I can live with this problem. However I was paying the same money like anybody else who got a faultless phone...

Just realy curious, maybe someone already has same experience...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] realwillow:
As stated earlier in the thread, I would hazard a guess it's the glass separating from the loca.

When I replaced my own glass parts looked like that as I begun the separation.

GG2 has an oleophobic coating than can wear with time,I reckon what you are seeing is the side swipe wear areas from where you scroll home screens
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nsx82:
Something can be true here, because that area takes the fat faster.. If i pull over a wet paper on the screen, on this place will be more water than the other part of the screen, where just little bubbles. In this area will be a continous "water-spot"..

However i dont think i can wear down in 2-3 weeks... :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
Well I have seen reports of this wear popping up at fairly regular intervals.....I think, as with metals, some people's sweat/oil just reacts with the coating possibly
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nsx82:
I thinking now: it was maybe come citric acid on my fingers at my workplace. although that must be visible almost everywhere on the screen. I used more than a year long a galaxy nexus in the same conditions. there i did never see anything like this.

All my phones was Samsung, but i getting lost my confidence with this name... I think next time i will buy something else...

That's nothing to do with this thread, search for information on OLED screens - it is supposed to be like that.

---------- Post added at 02:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:00 PM ----------

I would suspect that your 'new phone from a sealed box' was in fact a reconditioned unit with many thousands of hours use, hence why the screen coating is worn away.

Unless your citric acid solution was very strong, like you have holes in your fingers as well, I doubt this would cause it.

Again, best advise is to fit a £1 screen protector - it can save you from more than just scratches.

Hi!

Is there anyway to insert an icon or its shortcut into the 'Start' --> 'Settings' page?

The reason is that my Voice Command icon disappeared after I install a new program or that it could be due to my auto registry cleaning process by MemMaid, Pocket Mechanic etc. However, the program is still there and in the Buttons I can still see Voice Commmand being assigned to a button.

I just uninstalled and reinstalled my MS Voice Command.

After that I cleaned using Pocket Mechanic. No problem encountered with MS Voice Command.

I'll be back in no time on this thread again. Thanks everyone

RE

Hi!

I spoke too early and I'm back now. :(

Earlier, after cleaning with Pocket Mechanic, MS Voice Command still works. I guess it worked because it already was loaded into the memory.

Then after a soft reset it cease to function.

DR,

"Check your registry entries Bro.

Yes, its there. Its just that the voice command icon in the SETTINGS screen has gone :roll:

If Pocket Mechanic is the real culprit I think somebody got to inform Anton Tomov (the developer) about this so that a fix can be made.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] keithhiap:
it may not be the cause of Pocket Mechanic, it could be Microsoft.

You should know Microsoft always wanted to control Apps Protocol which i think that way.

Well. maybe you wanna try the latest Pocket Mechanic 1.52.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] FOSA:
RE

I have an explanation but not sure if its right.

I'm using the uograded version of MS Voice Command v1.5 and Pocket Mechanic v1.52

First, you install v1.0 - v.1.1 version of MS Voice Command then you upgrade to version v1.5

Now, when you run Pocket Mechanic it looks for bad file links, uninstall cabs etc.

Here's the problem. I suppose v1.5 MS Voice Command still depends on the links of its earlier version which are considered bad by Pocket Mechanic. Hence, running PM causes MS Voice Command to cease functioning when some of its earlier version links are removed.

It should not happen to a software undergoing an upgrading (not new install) process. For other programs that have been upgraded running PM after that has no effect on the later program. In this instance this does not happen to MS Voice Command.

How's that?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] keithhiap:
Ok, probably, let me explain how i make Microsoft Voice Command(MVC) work for me.

I have MVC v1.0.

Steps.

1. Install MVC v.10 (By default, the path is C:\Program Files\Microsoft Voice Command)

2. Go to settings, double check whether is the app version v1.0.???

3. If Yes, go to step 4.

4. Uninstall MVC v1.0

5. Soft reset

6. Use Pocket Mechanic to clear all the bad links until no bad links are shown

Note: Do not uninstall MVC from your DESKTOP, leave it alone.

Next

1. Soft reset PDA (this step is up to you, i did)

2. Install MVC 1.5(upgrade version downloaded from Microsoft site)

3. During installation on DESKTOP.

4. Change the path to to MATCH the install path with MVC v1.0

5. If you dont, the path for installing MVC 1.5 will be (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Voice Command\Microsoft ???????? ???????\US Version)

Note: you have to change the path to match the installation path with MVC 1.0

6. Completion of installation into PDA.

7. Soft reset

7. Launch Pocket Mechanic

8. Like i have said, before you install MVC v1.5, i believe Pocket Mechanic has cleared all the bad links.

9. so now, you will only see 3 bad links which belongs to MVC.

Done, enjoy the apps.

Ops, hope i dont get into trouble with so clearly explanation partial hack.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] FOSA:
RE

keithhiap,

The problem doesn't lie with the MSVC installation process as you mentioned that only 3 bad links will be finally left behind.

The problem comes when you perform the same upgrading or install/uninstall other programs.

When you run PM it'll find many more of such bad links and, well, your MSVC bad links will not be distinguishable with the rest. Removing the bad links incidentally will render your MSVC to cease functioning.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] keithhiap:
ops, forget to tell you my MSVC is although 1.0, but upgrading to v1.5 is not possible.

Why, is it because 1.5 is intended for US version only

Like i have said, even though my version matches what microsoft mentioned. as long as you are holding 1.0, you can perform upgrade 1.5, but for my situation , i cant.

No idea

that y , i experience such installation way, in order to make my upgrade works
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] FOSA:
RE

My MSVC is v1.01 and upgrading to v1.5 is without problem :D
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] keithhiap:
i wanted to purchase 1.5 full version, but too bad, not avaliable for Asian.

! does this change any part of the process?

3)- download ADBDRIVER and install adb drivers installer on pc,open it and connect your phone to pc and install the adb drivers.

4)- download flashtool ANDROXYDE and install on pc.

i know i can get androxyde for mac, but is there a mac version of the adbdriver program?

7)- go here SONYMOBILE .

fill your details and then check your email inbox for bootloader key.

if you contact sony for the bootloader key, unlock, then lock back if you have to return it to them for warranty issues, etc., won't they know since you had to get the key from them?

thanks for your help! im a definite beginner but learning a lot from this site!

3. Connect your phone to Flashtool.

4. Click the "BLU" and follow the step.

I got my phone a Sony service centre. the guy there took my phone on warranty and tried to reinstall software through sus (works only on locked bootloader). then when he was unsuccessful he told me software modified and I got my phone back

so I don't think you will have any issue with warranty.

you can get any Xperia phone's bootloader key in your inbox just by knowing its imei.
