[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Arfyness:
Ever have one of those weeks that just strangles and squashes any plan you might start to think you have a chance with? You guys might find this bit interesting -- personally I find it horse $#!T cause I'm still without cell service:

Verizon now wants me to sign a new 2-year contract in order to re-activate the Droid X2 that I was using last week before I got the S3. They said my current plan is not compatible with the device! It's the exact individual device with which I *started* my current plan and current 2-year contract! The guy couldn't explain to me how exactly it was fine last week, and incompatible now. He even confirmed that activating the S3 four days ago didn't change my plan, and didn't affect my contract.

I'll try again tonight, either the same store or somewhere else, I haven't decided. Any event, I'll tell what happens. I'm actually kinda hopeful, cause the dude seemed a bit dumb overall, and a bit confused just about the entire time. I was already late for work, so I couldn't cause a scene like I wanted to, or wait for the manager - who was busy with a woman who was becoming irate, go figure.

So I want to ask too, does this sound totally wrong to anyone else? Am I being oversensitive or too picky? Are my expectations really too high?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sbenson1226:
The guy sounds like an idiot. I would activate it on your own. Log into your Verizon account online and select the option to change devices. It will ask for your ESN off the back of your phone, under the battery. Walk through the process and you'll be good to go. Verizon definitely can't force you into a new plan.

I too ran the casual, now it's broked..

I too tried to post in the correct topic: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2332825 but am lacking a proper post count, so any help here would be greatly appreciated.

I ran the casual, rebooted, it all worked wonderfully and I was wandering around with root permissions for several days, then my s3 decided to just go ahead and update the deferred update that Verizon recently put out. After the update, everything loaded and seemed ok, then a screen came up and said the verizon update was unsuccessful. However, it wasn't, I have the update, multiwindow and all, but now I don't have root permissions. When I try to open SuperSu it says, "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!"

Since I haven't had any major problems, I'm hoping this isn't really a big problem worthy of an exclamation point, and that my phone will still work ok tomorrow, but I sure would like root access again. Any help is greatly appreciated. :)

My info in case it matters:

SCH-I535

4.1.2

I535VRBMF1

Can you get into download mode? That's volume down plus power plus home? If yes you can Odin back to complete stock. For the record the tool didn't work for me the first time but I ran it again and thank GD worked fine and I was on the latest OTA.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sbenson1226:
Anytime you accept an OTA update you will lose root unless you use a root keeper app.

Luckily you should still have a custom recovery and can reflash SU to get root back.

Download this: http://api.viglink.com/api/click?fo...SU-v1.34.zip&jsonp=vglnk_jsonp_13723705685646

Flash in recovery. Reboot, open superuser and update the binaries and you should be good to go.

To get into recovery, power down your phone. Next, just hold volume up + home button + power. You will see tiny blue text flash in the upper left corner. When you see that release the keys and your phone should boot to recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thesoldier:
What an idiot! I literally just did this a couple weeks ago. My sister's s3 broke and while she shipped it back to Samsung for them to fix, she used an old Droid X.

Online kept giving me some error so I had to call em up, I told em I wanted to put the DX back on for a week or two until I got the s3 back. The lady said no problem, and I made sure to ask that my plan would be unaffected and that I'd still have unlimited data. Quick and painless. Just call them or try online, no point wasting time going into a store dealing with an idiot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sbenson1226:
Yup, I would NEVER deal with the morons in the stores. Online or calling is the only way to go.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Arfyness:
Update on JTAG repair:

I got my phone back WORKING (!!) in pretty much the same state it was JUST BEFORE running Casual on it. The only difference is that it is rooted now with SuperSU, from the first part of the Casual script.

Where I sent it was to a guy in Michigan that I found on ebay. The whole thing took 7 days (shipping was USPS Priority Mail both ways). In case he changes the listing, Here's a link to his store. Also he asks to please send him a message detailing what you did to brick your phone, and wait for his reply before you purchase the service. Make sure you read the whole listing, there are some important details in there.

Anyway, I had a fair bit of communication with him, and he's really fast to reply, and quite personable. I highly recommend this guy for service if you happen to need JTAG repair. Total cost to me was $41. Here's a breakdown: $29 for the service, and $6 + $6 for shipping. At present, the listing specifies that if he's not able to resurrect your device, you get the $29 back in a refund.

So, everything turned out well, I'm rooted now, and I'm not going to attempt any sort of unlocking or custom recovery.

As for Verizon, I didn't care to pursue the BS to change back to the DX2, because I was out of the country anyway while my phone was being fixed, so the two days without cell service was fine. When I came back I just popped in the SIM card and battery, and it was all rainbows and kittens!

Hey I also just want to say thanks for everyone who has contributed to this thread. I appreciate you.
[HTC EVO 3D] coatedkhan:
My Evo 3D CDMA (Sprint) rooted screen would be registering random screen press in multiple areas on its own. I ordered a digitizer and replaced it myself. After I put everything back together the phone booted up like normal screen works perfect. Although when I select the camera it shows a black screen and freezes the phone to where the only way to exit the camera is to pull the battery. Sorry if this is in the wrong section it is my first post.

What Rom are you running? Are you S-off
[HTC EVO 3D] pcout64:
Some ROMs that are still in a buggy state can have issues with the camera. If you are using a custom ROM, that could be your issue, but if its the standard stock ROM, this might just be hardware and then that causing software failure...
[HTC EVO 3D] coatedkhan:
I am running ZR3D I believe by Team 420. I'm still S-On also. I don't use the camera very often so i'm not sure if it was like that before i replaced the screen or until afterwards. I found out recently that the front facing camera that would be used for mirror apps for self photos does work after replacing the digitizer.

Well, not flash anything from this forum.

Please do some research about Android etc.. You are posting this in a Endeavoru forum while you have a Evita. Flash something from this forum and it's a great chance you will brick your device. My advice: Get s-on back on your phone. This is exact the reason why there is s-on in the first place.

I have the same problem

And then my Xperia L rarely goes into deep sleep mode. I have mine rooted, so if there is anything I can try I, please let me know.
[Sony Xperia L] karkand:
I try to add ro.ril.fast.dormancy.rule=0 in build.prop but it's nothing changes, it just works in sgs2..

and another method use fast dormancy toggle in playstore, but can't use it for compatibility issue..

maybe some dev's here want to help for it,,because all of system now is stable,just this issue is very frustating me..and another people too cause of battery drainer..
[Sony Xperia L] pradeepvizz:
I just noticed this link - would you guys try it?

http://www.androidnz.net/2012/06/at-your-own-risk-how-to-disable-fast.html
[Sony Xperia L] pjssilva:
I tried the app but it says that "your device is not supported".

I may try later to reproduce the tutorial, but it is quite long and evolved and it may be very device specific. So I am not sure I can follow it successfully.

This is a major bug in my point of view. We should be loud about it so that Sony step in and try to fix it.

---------- Post added at 08:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:55 AM ----------

A suggestion:

If you want to check whether your device has this bug try "Wakelock Detector" from Play Store (its a free app). After installing the app go into settings and select "Advanced mode". If you device is affected it should show "Device (or something like this, my app is in Portuguese so I am tying to translate back into English)" in th top spots (in my case it is in the top by a large margin). Clicking in this entries to show the details you'll see that "Data dormancy" is the major reason.

Also note that your device should stay most of the time Awake instead of being in Deep Sleep mode.

Finally, this problem only affects devices if you operator network does not support data dormancy. This seems case of the Vivo network in Barzil, at least where I live. If your operator supports data dormancy it is then a good thing, as it helps to save battery.
[Sony Xperia L] karkand:
but there is link you mentioned is success with modify the CSC file..

so, how to modify our CSC file ?
[Sony Xperia L] pjssilva:
There is a long tutorial there on how to manually modify the fast dormancy parameters. But you will need to unlock your bootloader first because you need to write to /system. Mine is not unlocked yet, I still creating courage to do it. I'll probably do it to better investigate this bug.
[Sony Xperia L] karkand:
just unlock ? I can do that now...yesterday I have unlock it and relock it again for back to stock from custom kernel..

but,where the tutorial,,I searching there just for Samsung devices :(

EDIT :

this is it http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=35689455 ?

I have trying this but,not found for 'fastdormancy' field in there
[Sony Xperia L] pjssilva:
Yes, I meant something along those lines, I believe that that post is the origin of the idea described in the Samsung section.

By doing some more research I came across to this post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=40606899&postcount=38 that suggest to use

ro.semc.enable.fast_dormancy=false

in build.prop. It is for Xperia T, but at least it is a Sony device.

Can you try as your bootloader is already unlocked?
[Sony Xperia L] karkand:
Ok, I will give a try.

EDIT: it is not working :(
[Sony Xperia L] pjssilva:
Solved for me

Weird. It did work for me. I changed the configuration using Build Prop Editor , rebooted and it is working right now. No "Data Dormancy" wakes anymore. Try using this app. Note that it did work even in a locked bootloader (I haven't unlocked mine).

Obs: I tried before from the command line using setprop and it didn't work, so success may depend on how you try to edit the option.
[Sony Xperia L] karkand:
oh yes, my Data Dormancy is completely gone after several restarts...

thanks mate...

but my phone keep wake up because something...you can see my post in bbs thread..

EDIT1:

But I will do some researchs for this one in many condition..

EDIT2:

[MENTION=4311058]pjssilva[/MENTION] Fail when in locked bootloader using that tool...after reboot, that property is gone...

how you apply that? please..

EDIT3:

sorry, I forgot to install busybox after rooting :p

now, it's edited successfully even after reboot, now I will test it :D

Great you solved the issue.

It feels great to have the phone eating only 1.5-2% of the battery an hour after this change (from 6% before).

Thank your for the tutorial too. I will help other people.
[Sony Xperia L] karkand:
yeah after more information about Build Prop Editor,,,it need busybox installed..I use framaroot to rooting..

very great if you look for GSF and MAPS in BBS thread...I got 0.7%/hr :D

Yeah your welcome, I put your name in there :)
[Sony Xperia L] gizaha:
Didn't worked for me also. After restart there is data dormancy wakeup again.

Xperia M2, 4.3 rooted.

I don't know if i missed something, installed build prop editor, make the changes and restarted.

The thread asks for busybox installed, i don't have busybox and i don't know if its important.

EDIT: After installed busybox, the above stayed on reboot ok.

Because fast dormancy wakelock apperared after ~12 hours after a reboot, i will wait some hours to check if it appeares again. Thank you.

As its now OFCOM - doesnt this statement constitute a failure in O2 procedures. I.e. quoting a now defunct body's procedures effective renders them null and void!

Please tell me this is exactly what O2 mailed you as this has to be a severe insult to O2 customers (including myself), especially since the person writing the standard template must appear to be having problems themselves with writing!

Yea o2 Cs is really bad. So far i have spent about an hour arguing with these people trying to get my phone unlocked since i bought it from ebay.

I have given them every possible excuse to unlock the phone but got the phone same reply that i will have to wait 12 Months even though i dont even have a contract with o2.

I was wondering if u could tell me how and where did u unlock your phone from?? I Dont have a vodafone contract and it would be nice to use the phone on their network :)

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] birdog:
AH, at last a chance to ***** about O2 (not such a fine smelling breath of fresh air).

About 2 months ago I noticed that the stylus pen wasn`t working very well on my XDA2, and then I noticed a few small scratches around the bottom of the screen, around the area that you write lower case letters. Now, its my fault I know, I should have used protection, but I though that I couldn`t be the first person to have this problem and that they might fix it under warranty, so I called Customer service (OH NO).

2 days later, after many phone calls, a walk to the local O2 shop, a few e-mails that have never been answered and numerous yes, no and maybe answers to my question, I got the definitive no.

Okay I thought, I have tried and failed, so I carried on using the old XDA2 for the past months.

Now it that time of year again, upgrade time (WOOHOO), been reading reviews and decided on the XDA2s, phoned customer services again.

I was given a price of £148 by a very nice lady, who did actually know what she was talking about, but because it was a weekend and the sales department was closed, asked if I could pfone back on monday.

I did call back the customer services on monday, I spoke with someone else who gave me a price of £199 and explained that it couldn`t possibly be £148 as they all have the same price list, the person went looking for the reason the prices would be different and cut me off in the process.

I called back again, different person again (I had been noting peoples names, but they were always on another call when I called back, which was within a minute of been cut-off), the price quoted was 200 quid again, but then he tried to transfer me to the sales team, and he cut me off in the process.

Called back again, different person, who gave me the direct number to call the sales team, I called it but the sweet lady who answered had never heard of a XDA2s as she worked for a company called alison windows.

I called the sales team number again to make sure I had dialled it correctly....."Hello, thank you for calling alisons windows...how can I help you".

I called customer services again, different person again, but this time I managed to get transfered, successfully, to the sales team where the deal was done and was told I`d have it in 2 days, that was monday, its now wednesday, just gone home for dinner, no new phone and no note from parcelforce saying "we tried to deliver".

If this is how a company respondes when I`m trying to give them money, I dred to think how they will respond should I have a technical question or problem.

I might forward this onto O2, anyone know an e-mail addresss that they read and respond to ?

Feel a lot better now I got that off my chest.

Cheers
