[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] littleandroidkid:
I purchased my SGS3 about 4 months ago from the middle-east.

I have a series of problems (possibly problems cause I am new to Android phones). I am listing them down here in hope that someone will tell me how to solve them.

The flash of blue

This happened once or twice about a month ago. Whenever I pressed the power button to unlock the phone, the complete screen went solid blue for a flash of a second and then I saw the flower on the home screen.

Is this a hardware issue ? Signs of failing hardware ?

The home screen redraw / lag issue

When I press the home button to exit an app, say Chrome, the screen re-draws itself. The icons take some time to show up back on the screen.

Initially I thought it was related to cache being full. However, cleaning it using ES Task Manager was of no help. The re-drawing continues.

I also disabled the SVoice on double-click home button. No

I saw a YouTube video which says that there is a bug fix but it is available only for UK phones.

Here is the video: /watch?v=5uYw3mVhiuY

Again, is it a failing GPU ?

The grainy screen

Title says it all. The screen seems to be grainy. The grains seems to be more visible under low brightness and on grayish backgrounds. I tested the screen using the screen tester that comes with ES Task Manager. When the color goes to whitish-gray, I can see the grains. They are in bands - horizontal and vertical.

Low quality display

This is not related to grainy screen. This is related to the pulling down of notification menu.

I happened to pull it down slowly while goofing around.

I noticed that the quality of the display gradually reduces as I pull it down. When my finger is near the last one-third of the screen, I see that blue color gets split into bands. A little further down, it looks like the background is some very low quality image.

The bit depth seems to be reducing, if that is a proper term.

Low RAM even on idle

Even when I use ES Task Manager to kill the apps, all I usually have remaining is 323 MB of the 800 MB of RAM that is there in the phone.

Why ?

Lag when opening settings

There is also a lag when I open different settings from settings menu.

If I click on the battery settings, there is a visible lag before the actual battery information pop up.

I know that was a lot of rant but being a beginner, I have no clue how to go about solving any of these.

Thanks for reading.

I hope you can help me solve most of these. If not, please let me know if I should return the phone to Samsung.

As for usage, very light use for casual gaming, web browsing, YouTube videos, reading books.

I haven't dropped the phone at all nor have I modded it in any way.

I have tested it using AnTuTu and it gives my phone 16000+ points. Does that indicate phone is fine ?

(Mods: If this subject is already being covered in another thread in this section please move. )

I'm curious as to what other user's experience is with Google Now, specifically in providing voice answers to questions asked.

For example, I tried the phrase seen on the TV commercial, "What is glossophobia". The response is voice, ie "glossophobia is..." When I tried this, I simply got a search screen of results.

I do receive voice responses for simple questions like "What's the weather? but nothing 'complicated'.

Roms?

Any word if roms are out there for t217a??
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bl2128:
No roms, no recovery. The t217a has a locked bootloader. Until it gets unlocked, we are out of luck. With that being said, there are options like xposed framework that will allow you to customize your stock firmware.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TopTongueBarry:
Can Voice Calling and Text messaging be enabled on a t217a by using xposed framework

Does xposed framework offer the ability to enable voice calling and text messaging using the MBM??

The t217a has same internal MBM h/w as the International model, (t215) but the T215 supports different LTE bands (Singapore, India, etc)

In a nutshell, since the T217a's MBM is factory flashed to use AT&T's LTE bands for data, and since there is a large segment of users who also want to utilize (enable) the carrier disabled voice and text messaging features of the MBM I am hoping xposed framework might offer the ability to change the options/ features of the internal MBM to enable voice calling and text messaging without a complete rom reflash.

Reflashing the T217A with the rom for a t215 will also flash the MBM to utilize the LTE bands for India, and Singapore making the device unusable for LTE data on AT&T's data network. True the addition of voice calling would be a plus, but if I want to have voice calling and non LTE data speeds, I could just go out and find a T215 on eBay. that's not the answer I'm looking for here.

Thanks,

TTB
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TopTongueBarry:
Recovery for T217S now available, but not for T217A yet

Recovery for T217S now available, but not for T217A yet

Apparently the T217S doesn't have a locked bootloader like the T217A does. A recovery has been created.

Hope someone is able to get past the locked bootloader on a T217A soon.

Also waiting for someone to chime in on voice calling, can it be enabled for these devices and how?

T217S and T217A are the same HW as the T215 (international version) which does allow voice calling but the T215 is flashed to use LTE bands for Singapore and India, which are different than the LTE bands AT&T uses.

has anyone tried flashing just the android parts of the t215 firmware to see if it enables those features? if they're only disabled on the android side of things, an xposed module could probably enable that functionality. if it's disabled in the radio firmware, xposed can't do anything about that.
