[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jalusz:
Hi,

First, thanks to everyone that contributes to these forums... I've been reading them for a while and didn't need to sign up until now.

I hope my question isn't too noob-ish, but i've looked through the other threads and haven't found a clear answer.

My phone:

Verizon SCH-I535

Android 4.1.2

Baseband and Build: VRBMF1

I'm looking to use the casual 1-click to root. I have no immediate intention to install a custom ROM, but i may down the road. Mostly i need the hot-spot access and I titanium backup access..

The questions are: if I run the 1-click root now, and decide i need to factory reset the phone later...

1) will factory reset be an issue b/c the phone is rooted

2) if not, will the factory reset cause me to lose root

And also

3) Would I run into a problem if I used titanium to restore apps from from my Thunderbolt? it would only be things i really needed to transfer like Google Authenticator and Verisign VIP... and then if that worked, maybe some games like super stickman golf 2. Nothing pre-installed or stuff that can easily be re-configured...

Thanks,

Jay-
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MiGaJo:
When you go to factory reset the phone, make sure you do it in recovery and not from the phone's menu settings.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Androideka5:
1) no

2) no

3)no

Just make sure you use recovery like the post above says to factory reset (hold power/home/volume up at the same time)

I Live in Asia and travel around frequently. Does anyone know if there's anywhere in Asia that I can get the XDA IIi? As far as I can make out, it's only available in the UK :(

Thanks,

ive also been looking for the ANDES version here in asia (philpiines) even distros are saying there is still no shipment* of xda2i around the country. XDA2s are mostly replaced at stores by XDA3 or the blue angel and the magician/xda2 mini. most xda2 can also now be bought at greenhills second hand shops. hope the xda2i come ashore around april (wish!). we could only hope here in asia or have a contact abroad for a buy.

So recently my phone has had a hard time charging. I have to pull the cable a specific way for it to charge. So I called HTC and they said my port was loose like I thought. Anyway, they want me to send it in for repair. Should I unroot my phone first? I am running mean bean 3.09 now and I don't want them to get it and not fix it because it is rooted?

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] FattySparks:
I have heard of people getting away with it both ways. If the phone is able to be turned off and on (meaning they can check for root) I would unroot and return everything to stock, but that's just my opinion.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] revaew:
I might just see about unrooting it before I send it in. I guess better safe than sorry. Thanks

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] micro233:
Hello,

I've read a dozen threads on this forum about this problem that I have, but I couldn't find anything that can fix it.

3 Weeks ago I bought a Samsung S Advance I9070, and everything worked fine till today.

The main problem is when I switch on the data network mode nothing happens, the data icon doesn't appear next to my signal bar ,as it once did and my internet doesn't work.

What I've tried so far:

Check apn settings;

Delete existing apn then manually insert them as my carrier asks.

Delete apn again and sent a free sms to carrier center and get a message with automatic settings,activating those settings.

Erased everything from my phone , factory reset, wipe cache, restore to a 3 days old backup (when everything was fine).

All of the above with no result.

The only thing that worked for me is the change I made in network mode -> i put gsm instead of gsm/wcdma, but from what i can figure this disables my 3g completely , leaving me only with an edge type of connection.This last change gave me acces to internet but only with an E icon(probably from edge, i have no real idea).

The phone has 2.3.6 Gingerbread , I haven't made any change of ROM, I only tried once to install JB through kies but the program failed and the update didn't even start.

I know it's a long post but, I'm kinda "scared" by the fact that I might need to return the phone.

Is there a way to fix this?

Thanks for your time!

Well this problem appeared at home and until today I had 3g signal,it's kinda hard for me to believe that the entire 3G signal got lost in 1 day, but I will try it somewhere else and see if there's a difference, Thank you for your fast response.

Try flashing some other Roms like XXLQB/XXLQE.. You can search XDA for flashing roms..
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] micro233:
Today I flashed a JB I9070XXLQE_I9070COALQ1 official firmware via odin.

At first I thought the problem solved, because I saw the H/3g icon next to the signal bar, but when I tried the internet ... i was disappointed.

I then reset to factory settings and cleared my cache like I read in some threads on this forum , and I got fresh apn from my carrier, but now when i activate the data network mode, the icon's missing again and ofc the internet doens't work.

Is it possible that the 3g is broken? even though i can use internet via edge?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nanchilanto:
Try selecting WCDMA mode only and see if u can get 3G signal...Else call customer care and ask them whether 3G is activated for ur number...

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nanchilanto:
Is it fixed now...?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] micro233:
Unfortunately, no.

I've been using the GSM only option for the past days , until I have the time to take the phone to a service or smth.

A weird thing happens though, if I switch to gsm/wcdma and reboot the phone, in the first ~2 minutes after restarting I get 3g signal and I'm able to connect to the internet.(maybe the 3g service crashes ).

Probably before I take it to service I'll try and flash a new JB and do the apn trick once more, maybe this time I get lucky.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nanchilanto:

[Sony Xperia L] Outpapa:
Hello!

I dont think it's a problem but can you tell me what you think about the front camera?

Mine is very bad: it is like it has no colors.
[Sony Xperia L] ImTooNoob:
That's normal. The front camera has a VGA resolution, that's why it's bad.
[Sony Xperia L] Outpapa:
My Xperia Mini Pro had a VGA camera at the front but the quality was much better.
[Sony Xperia L] ImTooNoob:
Then I don't know why it's bad.

---------- Post added at 08:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:02 PM ----------

I think the camera will improve a lot with CM10, let's wait and see :D
[Sony Xperia L] Outpapa:
That's not important I don't use it...
[Sony Xperia L] kaioziro:
My front camera is also as if no colors, I even asked to exchange the device for it. I have an Xperia U with the same camera and VGA front camera of xu is much better.

I'm hoping to get my new xperia L: p

My came with a defective led down one of the lights does not change color is always white.

But let's wait for the new android 4.2 in xperia z has been released

I think he ought to fix this slow camera and improve the camera front.
[Sony Xperia L] Outpapa:
I hope it will be better...

I just tried my front camera and it was better. It had colors. The only bad thing is that colors disappear really fast in low light environnement
[Sony Xperia L] ImTooNoob:
I was talking about both cameras xD
[Sony Xperia L] Outpapa:
I agree with you. But the rear camera is good enough for me.
[Sony Xperia L] ImTooNoob:
Yeah, but it looks kinda laggy sometimes, specially on indoor enviroinments
[Sony Xperia L] Sparksys:
Yup.. :(

Sorry to inform you, but your TA backup attempt probably wrote something to your TA partition. The only way out was to restore a backup you made earlier... But that was only possible before the reboot. This is caused by a bug in Backup TA 9.3. Your TA is now corrupted... And recovery is impossible... :(

The only way out is putting up a poker face and returning it to the shop or Sony for repair...

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news... :(

and now my xperia z is working fine and back to life

but i get c6602 board and my device is c6603 , but board is working fine , now my device shows that it is c6602 and IMEI number is also changed

here is no service center of Sony in Pakistan i am very lucky that i get a original board from a person who's xperia z is destroy in a accident and i purchase his board only in Rs 5000 that became 50 us dollars

now finally i can start working on the development of Xperia Z Rom
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Product F(RED):
The motherboard is the entire phone, basically. Changing the motherboard is like changing the entire phone. Your phone isn't a C6603 anymore. It actually IS a C6602 now. And your old IMEI is attached to your old motherboard.

Find someone who can JTAG your old motherboard, if you can. Then you can reuse it if you want. But for $50, you got a good deal. Usually the motherboard costs almost as much as the entire phone.
