[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSabz:
Hello ladies and gents

Woke up to a horrible morning today. Left my phone to charge as usual, then woke up to see it on the SamsunGalaxy S3 start screen, and it hangs there indefinitely. :( Cant boot up or do anything raly.

My heart sunk all the way to my socks! :crying:

Can only boot into download mode, however no indication that anything is downloading or happening.

The phone was rooted, however i never installed any ROMS, it was running a standard rooted 4.1 android. I believe its an international model bought from the middle-east. S3 i19300 to be exact.

Can someone pls help me out, my research so far points to it being a 'half SDS' - sudden death! the bane of all tech geeks! Not 100% sure though! However with soo many versions and roms about i'm afraid i will follow the wrong instructions.. Can you point me in the right direction.

I have Odin v1.85 from when i rooted it. My understanding is my only option is to restore stock ROM and go back to factory settings, meaning everything will be deleted right ? apps, pics, contacts..etc? is this my only option?

Im about to cry just thinking about it. but what can you do.

Any assistance will be appreciated and likly returned in kind :D

Thank you all

Then 'Downloading, do not turn off target!'

Hope that gives u the answer your looking for, i don't see a product specific code! however to my understanding these seem to be the symptoms of a Sudden death! correct?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikep99:
It seems to be sudden death as 'Product Name' is empty.

I'm afraid you'll have to take it to a service centre. Sorry

So your saying a stock ROM flash OR factory restore wont help me either way? Thats bad bad news for me. Service centers around here are usually terrible.

If anyone else has any ideas pls don't hesitate :D

How can this happen overnight with no triggers or anything! just awful.

Multiple posts saying that failed usually when left on charge overnight was the first indication of what became SDS .

You need a new motherboard is the only cure .
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSabz:
Yes Thanks, That's what i've been reading too. but its just ridiculous, all these phones get bricked by just charging them over night!

The worst thing though is i took it to a Samsung service center and as usual the guy is a complete retard, he tells me its a software thing and that i must fix my screen (i have a cracked digitizer not a the actual screen) for them to even check the phone. All in all it can cost me 60% of the price (when i bought it) of the phone to fix...

Ill have to send it in for a checkup, but only if they agree to only fix the SDS issue under warranty.

If that doesn't work out il just go through reflashing either way...

Hi guys,

yesterday only i saw my freinds carbonn A2..

and he was using wifi and wifi tethering at same time..

why cant we use this feature in our xperia..???
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Little Zed:
because we can't.

simply, we use wifi drivers in order to work tethering.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] siddheshvartak:
then carbonn phones are using what???
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Little Zed:
Separated drivers I think. Not sure. Yea, I've seen that.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:
How wifi tethering and wifi together make any sence?

When your data is on and wifi is connected all trafic goes through wifi anyway?

There is simply no logical reason to have both of them on at the same time.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antok.tm:
Hello,

I know that I supposed to post this issue on the specific thread at Development section, but I didn't have sufficient post count to do that.

Okay so my problem is with the touchscreen on official CyanogenMod 10.1. Perhaps this problem already been posted before, but I just want to clarify my own finding, and hopefully someone else already know the solution for it.

If I use the tip of my finger, the touchscreen works. But if I use a wider surface, for example the thumb, or a harder finger press, the touchscreen won't detect it. I attached two pictures to explain this. Perhaps it's not a big issue, but it will cause so much trouble when playing games with virtual d-pad, because usually you will use the thumb to control.

So, do anyone have a solution for this ? A patch perhaps ? Or some build.prop that have to be adjusted ?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gil81:
Not sure as I never use CM 10.1...but on some roms you can adjust the screen sensitivity in the settings ( I forget where )..

Sorry I can't help more... I'll look into it..
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antok.tm:
What about the ROM that you currently use ? Does it have the same issue ?

If there is a better ROM than official CM 10.1 in term of stability, battery-life, and compatibility, I will consider to use it.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gil81:
You can see what rom I'm always running by looking in my signature..

It's great... super stable, smooth, fast..... but there is a new build for it out and I've yet to update. That being said, I imagine it's just as good or better. As I've downloaded it and looked through the change log and didn't see any major changes. Just some upstream things...

Just remember... every device acts different.. A good example is that on my epic 4g touch... I can't run Dirty Unicorns when others love it but my phone flies with slimbean.... Same rom Dev..just a little different base..

And it's the same for this device... pac runs slow on my device but others say it's fast on their tab..

Here's the link to the rom I'm on... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2098429

The op suggest cwm version 6+....but I used infamous TWRP recovery to install... I always suggest to follow op, just wanted to tell you this if you have TWRP recovery. Which in my opinion is the best recovery for this device.

The op also says to wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache... do this. I also suggest to mount system( if in cwm recovery ) or wipe system ( if in TWRP )

This will make it a super clean installation... just make sure you do you're research first..

... if you have any questions... I've started a new thread I'm trying to get members to use... It is a FAQ/Q & A thread for all questions... We have one in the e4gt forum and it's a huge success.. In over a year it's turned into an encyclopedia like thread, I'm hoping to make us one here. It will also clean up our Q & A thread a little.. So please post in it if you have anymore questions( any topic )

Thanks for you're help...Good Luck

Thanks John
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] tintoy:
You can do it on a per contact basis in 'contacts' There is a ringtone feild when you edit the contact. It occurs to me it would be a good way to get the phone to announce callers when the screen is closed. just record yourself saying the name of teh caller and use that as the ringtone!

Excellent thanks Tintoy, i did look there, but i must have looked with my eyes closed, It works fine now, thanks again
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Carnivor:
that aint a half bad idea!!!!

if you created all the names as spoken then put that into a proper ringtone say at 5, 10, 15, 20 second intervals, it atleast gives you time to get it out yer pocket, and alarm you well enough aswell,

ie,

RINGER "Carnivor Calling" RINGER "Carnivor Calling" RINGER "Carnivor Calling" RINGER "Carnivor Calling"

Have some fit husky bird say it, and its rock n roll!!!

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Elarion:
Hello together,

I'm owning a xperia V and until two or three days ago everything was working fine.

Then I came up with the idea of a nice tasker-profile which should say wake-up, 15mins after I disabled the alarm.

When testing it I noticed that TTS wouldn't work. After 15mins waiting (yes I enabled continue task) no sound when the lockscreen is on.

When the screen is unlocked, this works.

Then I also noticed, that my alarm isn't working. My cell doesn't wake me up in the morning. The alarm is set up correct and it sais that it'll be active in some minutes. Then I lock the screen. If I do that: no alarm, nothing. just a black screen. It's the same for other alarm-apps. They do not react when the lockscreen is active. Only when the screen is on, everything works.

I do not know what caused this. I also did reset my device and after that it was working. Then I restored my apps and it worked still. Then however some minutes later it happened again and doesn't work since then. I don't know which setting I might have changed but I really need to fix this. I don't know what's wrong...

Cell: rooted, unlocked BL, relevation ROM.

Thanks a lot!!

Elarion

Edit: Some other things:

Let's say I set an alarm for 4pm. When I look at the display with lockscreen on it still shows the alarm, but the clocks (center and in bar) are already at 16:01.

What does that mean?

Edit2:

Also other apps like Snapdragon battery extender get closed immediately when I enter the lockscreen...

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] uncross89:
Hello.

I bought galaxy s3 3 months ago. Since I have it I have a small defect (?). Namely, sometimes when I unlocking my phone i got clear blue screen for 1/2 second, than I normally have my wallpaper, watch and icons. I don't know what is the cause of this. It takes a while, sometimes I miss it, because it only 1/2, meaby 1/3 second. Than my phone operate normally. I don't know this is error or something? I should be afraid, or do something with that?

Please answer me,

Regards, Un.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Probably nothing to be concerned over. You can try flashing a different firmware build. Or back up your stuff and factory reset.

If it continues and it really bugs you, you could attempt a warranty exchange.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pietro:
dear ladies and gents,

i am new to this forum; i have been using my xda2 for 2 years now and i am more or less up to speed on the how to's. but i have a question on upgrading to wm2005. i deeply apologize if this topic has been discussed before and now here i am again bringing it up...but hear me out first.

i have downloaded ALL the files needed to upgrade to wm2005; the roms (version c) from buzz.net, the ramdisk, doctools, even the skins. so far i know only the following steps (i got this from xda2jojo's downloads). everything.

--------------------

5. Start your device in bootloader mode by pressing and holding down:

DPad + PowerButton + ResetButton

After a second release ResetButton, then release the rest of them.

Your screen will show word "Serial" at the top.

You are in bootloader mode now.

6. Place your device in the cradle, ensuring that the cradle

is plugged directly into a USB port on your PC and not to a hub

and that the power supply is connected to the cradle.

It is also a good idea to disable any screensavers on your desktop PC.

Once your device is cradled, the text on the screen will change to "USB".

7. Run HimaUpgradeUt.exe

8. Sit back and wait for the Congratulations screen to be displayed

on your PC. Your device will still be displaying 'Upgrading radio stack, please wait',

but as long as the PC says it is done, then its all OK.

9. Detach your device from the cradle.

10. Now you have to hardreset your device.

Press ResetButton and hold down CameraButton + RecordButton.

Hold them pressed until the "Boot Options" menu appears on the screen.

Select the options as follows:

(for selecting use RecordButton, change values with CameraButton)

Enable KITL -> NO

Clean Registry Hive -> YES

Format Storage -> YES

When done, press DPad and wait until OS starts.

-----------------------

i have successfully done this already but the storage is low. i have done reading and browsing on expanding the storage to 30-plus mb using ramdisk and the doctools. i would like to ask for assistance on how to use these. i read in this forum that you have to use doctools first? it is a little confussing.

please advise how to use these 2 tools together with the steps mentioned above.

again i apologize in advance because i know that this topic has been discussed so much.

pietro
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Robson:
you need to (got this from the forum):

1. Downgrade to WM2003SE (2.06 ROM) via PC method

BUT if you're already running WM2003SE then you don't need to do step one. But at the very least I think your ROM should be 2003SE.

2. Install Extended_ROM Unlocker

3. Unlock the Extended_ROM (but don't click unhide)

4. Copy the Hima_DOC_Tool.exe to the Temp folder on the device

5. Run the Hima_DOC_Tool.exe

6. Perform a soft reset only (not hard reset)

7. Checked the new size (30.07M

8. Upgraded to WM2005 (1.60b.96) via PC method

it worked for me. you may want to also refer to this link:

http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=28801

and

http://xdaforums.com/viewforum.php?f=42

these will more or less answer other concerns you might have.

in my case i didn't use ramdisk...but it worked well for me and i'm still using wm2005.

[Galaxy S 4 General] hifonicy:
But what is the first line in my screenshot NbNetworklock <38> /NbNetworklock
[Galaxy S 4 General] dxzh:
"NbNetworklock" is the number of network locks in the list below it - ie 38 MCCs are listed, potentially blocking all the networks (because of the wildcard BB after the MCC number itself) with one of those blocked MCCs. There are two known MCC block lists identified so far on the European region Note 3 thread, one with 38 MCCs listed and the other with 63 MCCs listed. The same lists are being found in the most recent European region SGS3s and as can see on this thread European region SGS4s.

Even if there is a MCC block list in the CSC, it is not enforced (it seems) unless the relevant lock (eg NCK, SPCK, etc - not sure which exactly though) are switched ON at the time. A working assumption is that phones with the MCC list in the CSC will be able to be used on networks which would be restricted by the MCC block list, provided:

- they are shipped without any relevant lock switched ON; or

- have been subsequently unlocked at the NCK level (although question whether any other level of unlock would also work to disable the MCC block list).
