[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MiamiDolFAN77:
Hi there. I have a pebble blue16gb S3 that's currently on the fritz. Some people are recommending a jtag service to force a stock rom back onto my s3. I've got others that are telling me my emmc chip is probably bad and that a jtag probably won't help my issue at all. Anyway, I've been cruising craigslist and I found a 16gb pebble blue s3 that has a cracked screen. In the pictures I was sent the crack is right down the middle. The guy selling it says the LCD display wont show up at all, but in some pictures the back button and the other button light up as well as the blue notification light on top were working in the picture. He's selling the device for $90. I checked the IMEI he gave me on swappa.com/ESN and its said its ready for activation. I asked the craigslist seller how the device was damaged and he said he got into a car accident going 60mph and he was hit by a drunk driver and the phone hit the dash. I have a buddy of mine who is willing to take the motherboard from this phone and switch it out with my phone, but he expressed concern that the fact the LCD won't display anything and he thinks the motherboard may have suffered some kind of damage in the crash causing the device not to display. He also noted that he has seen phones with cracks all over and the lcd still displays something. Can anyone shed some light as to how much impact a Verizon SIII motherboard can absorb and if its possible for the screen to totally not work, but the board itself be fine? Thank you very much!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MiamiDolFAN77:
Im not sure if this was the right thread to post this question either, but I hope it is. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MiamiDolFAN77:
Also just wondering, is the notification light at the top and the lighted back button and the function button by home at the bottom run through the same connection that controls the display?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RBarnett09:
I repair these devices and I'll say that you should just stay away from an S3 with a blacked out LCD. The repair for the LCD is about $300. Just a cracked glass may run you anywhere from $80-$150 for repair. The motherboard could be damaged, but there is really no way to tell unless the screen is on. I doubt it would be broken, though... I would look at it to see if the metal frame around the screen were bent or warped. If not, I doubt it would be. If the soft keys light up, you should also hear the volume turn up.... this checks to see if the speaker works.

But with a busted LCD... too much cost to fix that and not worth it. May as well buy a new one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MiamiDolFAN77:
So should I just pass on this craigslist phone? All I wanted was the board from it and switch it out with my motherboard that is on the fritz.

hello there i am a xt910 user for almost a year now , great device but still i m not at peace with it :(

A few rising concerns are

I am on Latam 4.1.2 JB rooted and bmm 0.3.4 installled.

I wish to keep my slot rom ie slot 1 intact and untouched .

I wish to put a custom rom on my system 2 ie( webtop ) so I hit settings on bmm menu and actiavted it ,it formatted cache and webtop as ext 4 respectively .

I entered recovery switched to system 2 ( font turned blue ) did wipe of factory ,data and cache and format system data and cache from mounts and storage and installed DU,Carbon rom and now buttered aokp

All of them have these issues in common

i cant access system status bar toggles ? even if i press the button that switches between notification and toggles nothing happpens ...

my network offers me network location service ,without wifi and gps ofcourse .. i cnt seem to find an option to enable it ..its however there on my stock jb though ..:confused:

none of the issues persist on the virual slots ..
[Motorola Droid RAZR] misterk267:
I've never heard of this problem before. If I were you, I'd try to use BMM to completely destroy all of the partitions in slot 2 and then recreate them and try again. If that doesn't work, maybe a full reinstall of BMM could help. If THAT doesn't work, then I have no idea. Maybe somebody with greater knowledge of the RAZR will have a solution.

Hi All,

I am very new to Android flashing. I got my first Android phone at the start of this year and just decided to go ahead with flashing a rooted ROM onto it tonight. Its a SG3 4G model - GT-i9305T

It all seamed to go ok except that I can no longer connect it to Samsung Kies and am therefore unable to access my backup data. I also cannot upgrade the firmware to the latest Android version because it tells me that my phone has been modified.

this is the ROM I used (in the second quote bubble of the first post):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2080463

I would really appreciate it if someone has some answers for me because I'm seriously stressing out about this! Hopefully someone can tell me how I can get it to mot show up as modified so I can upgrade the Android version. I'm wondering if maybe the modified tag is preventing me from connecting to Kies...?

Thanks in advance

You can only have Kies/Ota with official Samsung firmware for your phone not custom .

You cannot mix and match custom and official .

Official or XDA Developers forum your choice .

Suggest you read the basic faqs and guides before flashing anything .

research

I guess I should have done a little more research because I never read anything about how rooting my phone would prevent Kies connectivity and the ability to update Android versions....

I have downloaded a stock ROM now so hopefully if I flash that, it will bring things back to normal, which is all I wanted anyway. I just wanted to get rid of some of the restrictions placed on my phone by the carrier
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] sparkydave1981:
got a result in the end...

Well after finding out the hard way that a rooted ROM isnt all that I thought it was and having to completely erase everything off my phone to do so, I had a possitive result in the end. (if you can call it positive) I downloaded a stock samsung ROM (which is what i wanted in the first place, however didnt search any further after finding the rooted ROM), flashed it to my phone and now I am back in business, all without the crappy Telstra carrier rubbish they forced upon me.

The problem now is that the ONLY reason I tried any of this was in an attempt to have the option to turn off the shutter sound for the camera. Now when the phone was running the rooted ROM, i had this. Since putting the stock ROM on it, I dont have the option in the camera settings to turn off the shutter sound, nor can I take photos siliently when the phone is in silent mode....WHY????? I have even paid for another camera app (camera zoom FX) which claims to have this function although even with the setting for no shutter sound enabled, I get a shutter sound....

Can someone please help me with this one?? I feel like a wasted a heap of time and effort, not to mention stressing out and having to reinstall everything and re-setup my screens, apps and shortcuts, all for nothing! :mad::mad::mad:

So if I'm correct, I can flash only 1 part of your mod (f.e. the sounds)?

Will it replace my old sounds or just add the new S4 ones?

Hehe... new bootsound also :)

Yes, if you want you can only flash the Part 1 or only Part 2 or only one or two or three e.t.c of the separated files. And yes, the S4 Sounds replace some of the old ones like Touch, Lock, Unlock. So, generally, any of the .zips above can be flashed alone!

I am sorry, I had Roboto Condensced or something installed when I took the pictures. No, the font on the screenshots is not included in the Mod. :good:

It's paused. The only things left to be themed are the stock applications like Music Player and such. They are not so important so the progress of this mod is paused for all devices since I have so many more important things to do. But I promise, if it's ever updated it will be updated for every device. :) It's bug free I guess. Only thing that S.M.A.G found is Lockscreen Options menu is force closing. :/

This mod is only for 4.1.2 Touch Wiz ROMs, so, all stock ROMs are supported. I can't port it to CM, I'm sorry. :(

Hi

I'm a noob and messed up my DNA here is the thing:

Followed this tutorial http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2109862 to get bootloader unlocked after that installed this this rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2359803&highlight=google+play this rom it's awsome but it keeps rebooting on my phone by the way the phone before unlocking bootloader and installing TWRP was like out of box and with no update because I can't get the updates from VZW outside the US anyway I changed my mind and tried to go back stock so with that in mind after installing TWRP and before installing the new ROM made a nandroiod backup (saved it to my computer) and when I tried to restore my original ROM I have this issues:

-Phone storage (like for music photos etc....) appears like "storage/emulated/legacy" and won't let me write any file or make a new folder from my computer and in gallery says "insert SD"

-Wifi show turning on and then error

Everything else seems to work fine

------Update: managed to solve this issues flashing the kernel (boot.img) from my backup again but I'm leaving this in case someone else is in a similar situation and want to know how to solve the problem-----

from the thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2293919 [How-To] From S-OFF to 100% Stock S-ON [Facepalm/JTAG/RevOne/Moonshine]

by the way I tried to flash the RUU and didn't worked it said error 170 (don't know because I tried in Windows 8 64bit, the cable or what happened) and thinking this twice I don't know if relocking and running the RUU will brick or do something else to my device (because the CID 22222222 or whatever)

So what would you recommend to me for getting back to stock ( recovery and Hboot stock)

Try running the RUU in the bootloader if you are getting that 170 error.

so it's safe to run the ruu in CID 2222222 and Hboot ENG S-on?

[HTC Droid DNA] karn101:
When you get this error, I'm pretty sure you're supposed to run the same command again and it'll work.
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
I think you need to S-OFF at this point, if you have SuperCID (22222222) all you need to do is finish these steps, since the bootloader is already unlocked just go ahead and follow these steps in this tutorial (oh and by the way it says MONARUDO PVT SHIP S-ON which means stock bootloader so you are ok there you do not have an ENG which is a good thing the SHIP means it's a standard bootloader)

Just for saftey make sure you have SuperCID 22222222 by running this command in the bootloader

[Nokia Lumia 920] ellokomen:
Hi,

Has anyone else experienced intermittent NFC funcionality on the 920?

For a while the NFC just doesn't work, and comes back after some minutes.

I have a lumia 920 and a lumia 720 and both phones are experiencing the same issue.

Anyone else?
[Nokia Lumia 920] Solarenemy68:
I think what you are experiencing is the NFC system going into sort of a sleep mode. Then when you use it it takes a few moments for it to pick up the signal from the tag or other device to wake it up. It also drains your battery horribly to leave it on. i would suggest turning it on only when you are about to use it. Then it should be active and ready to receive. You also could be seeing some badly programmed tags or cheap tags that do not have the correct level of RF output.
[Nokia Lumia 920] ellokomen:
I see no difference in battery life when turning it on and leaving it like that.

I don't think the problem is the tags, because I cannot pair with other phones neither while it has the issue.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Solarenemy68:
Sounds like you got a bum phone then. Use your warranty and trade it in.. My NFC reader has never lagged and has always recognized tags and other devices within 1 second of being near them.
[Nokia Lumia 920] ellokomen:
two brand new phones with the same issue? I don't think it's the hardware itself.

Also, I found more posts about the same issue on the nokia forums, maybe they need to fix something on the software side.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Solarenemy68:
Are you running the latest 1314 firmware? There was an official update, but it did not get pushed and you have to go into settings and force the phone to look for it..
[Nokia Lumia 920] ellokomen:
yes, I have 1232.5962.1314.0001
[Nokia Lumia 920] FiyaFleye:
I can also vouch that keeping Tap+Send on doesn't affect my battery life at all. Also, I've noticed on the 920, it's very iffy on the location. You have to touch the sensor to perfection (which annoys me with the charging stand) for it to function. Maybe that's the intermittent behavior you're experiencing.
[Nokia Lumia 920] ellokomen:
I can say that the NFC transmitter on this phone works at medium distances, I have several NFC tags scattered in my desk, and sometimes I put things on top of them (like my wallet) and if I place the phone on top of the wallet it interacts with the NFC tag beneth the wallet, and that's like 7cm apart from it.

when the issue appears, no matter how close I put it, it just doesn't work.

I'm planning to put the phone in Test mode using nokia care suite and test the behavior for a while to see if something interesing comes up, kind of difficult because this happens randomly.
[Nokia Lumia 920] HTCalltheway:
My NFC works great, except when I'm sharing something between 2 lumia 920s, sometimes it takes a few tries to get the phones to notice eachother.
