SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 ANDROID 4.3 UPDATE PULLED AND GALAXY NOTE 2 DELAYED

SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 ANDROID 4.3 UPDATE PULLED AND GALAXY NOTE 2 DELAYED

13 November, 201313 November, 2013 Samsung Samsung

A week ago Samsung began the process of upgrading last year's flagship phone to some more recent form of the Android operating-system, but after it had been launched many users' experienced problems and today the Samsung Galaxy S3 Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update continues to be pulled as well the Galaxy Note 2 update going to be postponed.

Because the update was initially launched by Samsung the update has arrived at more regions however it soon grew to become apparent that some customers appeared to be hit with issues. The Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update for that Samsung Galaxy S3 yesterday hit the United kingdom also it was readily available for our unlocked form of the unit with an OTA update.

Other problems included a patchy Wi-Fi connection or the handset locking up completely needing the battery to be pulled to restart the device. Considering the handset has been sitting on Android 4.1.2 for a while now it's a poor performance by the company when you take into account how long Android 4.3 Jelly Bean has been available.

The update had also reached some carrier versions of the handset in the UK that included O2 and Three, and you would have thought these have been pulled as well and hopefully Samsung quickly provides a fix for those that have already installed the software and commences the rollout of the update.

Have you install the program and also have had issues with your Galaxy S3?

Wife wants 4.3 on her S4 for the emoticons like mine on MJ7 but she doesn't want to lose any of her apps. She still has her custom TWRP recover unlike mine I am just rooted MJ7. Is there an easy way going about this? Is dirty flashing those MJ7 rom safe way for her to move up without losing her apps installed?

Emoticons on stock TW keyboard is what she wants. I know there are other apps out there that support it.

Please chime in if you know a way to do this. Thank you!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
Not that I know of, best thing to do would be to Odin to stock and then just update her phone. That way, when a new update comes out with things she wants, she won't have to lose her apps/setup a second time. :p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tada10:
?? if she loses her apps...lol

Nice ... Research bud ... Back up all her apps and data (you say she still has twrp so she is still on the mdk bootloader version with the Loki work around I'm guessing) flash a TW 4.3 ROM and set back up her apps like it never happened

Is there a way to lock these volumes together so that when I hit the volume rocker it will adjust both the same?

This is default behavior within Android but I can't seem to find this in LG 's volume settings.

It's pretty annoying to think you turned your volume down only to have the notifications still blaring out.

Should I mention that I am running stock ROM rooted? If I was running vanilla Android, I wouldn't be asking this question.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] djeaton:
I'm sorry if this specific question has been asked before. I couldn't find it if it had. I was following the step by step directions on Android Police for installing the new OTA release of Kit Kat. The install of Kit Kat worked great. Played with it for a couple of hours. But I was *then* following the "easy" directions from the attached link for actual rooting:

ROOTING:

Rooting a Nexus 7 is very easy but requires an unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery. I recommend using TWRP.

* Flash TWRP from here (fastboot flash recovery FILENAME.img).

* Reboot into recovery (adb reboot recovery or hold Power+VolDn, then select Recovery).

* Flash the latest version of SuperSU.

* You should be rooted.​

The flash of TWRP worked great. I am now rebooted into TWRP. But there is no command line or anything listed on how to flash SuperSU like there is the prior steps. And there was nothing in these root directions that said to copy that to your device before starting this process. The link takes you to a download, but no instructions there that I could find on how to use ADB or something to push it to a device that will only get into the recovery menu. And when I try to reboot without following that step, I get an endless boot logo of those four colored dots. So just how can I finish this "easy" process and get back to a (hopefully) fully rooted Kit Kat device. :confused:
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] PR0XiMA:
You can reboot back to Android, download SuperSU v1.69 and flash it through your recovery.

You can download SuperSU from here: http://download.chainfire.eu/365/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.69.zip

If you have downloaded it straight to your device through Chrome, the file is located at /sdcard/Download/. If you have downloaded the file to your computer, you decide the location.

Now, reboot to TWRP. If you are using ADB, you can do that by typing in this "adb reboot recovery", if that don't work you can type "adb reboot-bootloader".

If you are in the bootloader, enter TWRP by selecting "Recovery" in the bootloader by using the volume keys and power button to select.

In TWRP, press the "Install" button.

Navigate to where the file is located. If you downloaded it through Chrome, it is located in your "download" folder.

Find your "UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.69.zip" and press it.

Swipe to install.

Hit the "Reboot" button.

You're rooted. :)

Hit the thanks button if I helped! :D
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] djeaton:
I couldn't just boot into Android. That was part of the problem. It was an endless boot animation. But I was able to get it back. I used that root toolkit that only required you to be in recovery mode to force flash a prior version, and then upgrade back to 4.4, and then I was able to side-load Clockwork Recovery and SuperSU. So it's back now. It was forcing the flash without checking for prior versions or whatever that did the trick.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kooky_krazy:
I have a black 16GB (stock, unrooted), received last Friday. A couple of hours ago it shut down on me while still having ~60% charge. Now when I power on, the Google logo with the black background comes on before shutting down. When I have it plugged in, same Google logo comes up and then keeps restarting to that same point.

I've tried getting into the recovery menu with Power + Vol down, but as soon as I get in, the phone reboots on me. Any ideas...?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El Daddy:
When you get to recovery, press and hold power then immediately press volume up. The menu should come up and wipe data.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theesotericone:
Sounds like it could be a stuck power button.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kooky_krazy:
Thanks for the suggestions guys, I think it is/was a stuck power button. Couldn't manage to get it to do a wipe, but shook the phone a bit and spammed the power button (methodical, I know) and it seems to be working alright for now.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theesotericone:
Spamming the power button is the way I'd do it. lol If it keeps happening though you might have to take it apart and clean it. Here's the ifixit teardown but I hope it doesn't come to that.

I have the razr hd for claro Puerto Rico i flashed with epinter Rom CM 10.2 android 4.3 the apn don save i did a research and this could be a problem with the kernel so i need the kernel for that version for the xt925 and a guide how to flash it.

Thanks.

[HTC Droid DNA] mattking45:
well i have this error com.android.phone error when ever i open up the phone app and try calling someone or a number. its doesnt happen when i have it opened, only when i dial my number and press send. Then it gives me the com.android.phone has stopped followed by it closing and me recieving zero service for a about 10 seconds then my service comes back on. My internet and messaging work fine. I am on cyaongenmod 10.2 snapshot M1. Even when i flashed to it i didnt get this error. this just resently started to occur 8 days after i flashed to it. When i recieve a call, my phone vibrates once then it gives me the error and i lose service for 10 seconds then comes back on. PLEASE HELP ME..... ANYTHING IS APRECIATED
[HTC Droid DNA] NSammut:
If I were you, I would just backup everything and clean flash. That always fixes that problem. Also, they do have an 11/13 nightly up, try that out too.

First try going to System>Apps>Contacts Storage and clear the data and cache, see if that helps.
[HTC Droid DNA] mattking45:
alright ill try that, thanks for the help.... i heard it might be bricked
[HTC Droid DNA] NSammut:
Nooooo. That doesn't mean its bricked. It just means one of the APK's got broke, and you just need to reflash with a clean wipe.
[HTC Droid DNA] mattking45:
thanks for your help man.....by the way this is the default phone app that comes on cyanogenmod

****Edit**** i just reset the contacts data and it didnt work
[HTC Droid DNA] NSammut:
Clean flash and it should be fine. I think that's all you can do.
[HTC Droid DNA] mattking45:
I'm kinda a noon, how do I clean flash
[HTC Droid DNA] NSammut:
Be very careful then. Because clean flashing wipes EVERYTHING. So make sure you back up everything with titanium backup. Then go into your recovery and to wipe/Format data and reinstall
[HTC Droid DNA] mattking45:
I know how to flash and all that other stuff, but I didn't know what a clean flash was

*****EDIT**** I just backed up my phone in recovery and I wiped it and restored, this error is still hapening
[HTC Droid DNA] t1gartist:
do a adb backup of your contacts and accounts then completely wipe device and reinstall rom

adb backup -apk -shared -all -f C:\nameofbackup.ab <<< this makes backup

adb restore C:\backup\nameofbackup.ab <<<< this restores backup that you made

This tool did well, but when I used dumprom.exe:

>dumprom.exe nk.nba -5 -d .

- to extract this nba file, It extracted only about 39 files such as:

device.exe

default.hv

imgfs.dll

mspart.dll

OEMExtDLL.dll

......

Great that these files were not corrupted, but I want all the files in rom , and it extracted only 39 files, pure!!!!

Can any one help ?

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edwardsiow:
Hi,

I am using Note II, stock ROM and unrooted....Only install a few apps like facebook, line, whatapps, viber, candy crush.....everything works fine....

I found a problem and hope friends here can give me some advices...

My screen turn off during answering call but sometimes the screen won't turn back on automatically when I move the phone away from ear....I have tried the following when the screen remains off:

a) open and close the flip cover

b) move the finger to cover the censor and then move away

c) shake the phone up and down

d) turn the phone back and front

All the above actions failed to turn the screen on..I have to press the home button in order to turn it on..

I already check the censor in #*0*# mode and the censor works well...

I am wondering why sometimes can work, sometimes cannot work..

anybody facing the same problem? is it software bugs or hardware failure?

Thanks for help!!

P/S:

I have done censor test in development mode, factory reset and clear call cache.....

Don't know why sometimes still failed to turn screen on....every time my wife complain the screen won't turn on, i told her to dial again, like to those customer service line which need to key-in menu selection 1-2-3-4-5, the screen turn on well to let her key in number....wired....

maybe like 70% success 30% fails...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bradddo:
i also get this most of the time. i talked to 2 reps at local stores and 1 had just recently heard the same complaint about the same phone. it is likely the proximity sensor.my screen even goes dark before i put it to my face so if i wanted to use speaker and / or input anything, i couldnt even if i wanted to. i have had to wait a whole minute a few times before the screen comes back on or reboot the phone. i talke to samsung tech support to ask if i send it in will the sensor be replaced with a known good part and i kinda got the runaround stock answer . ( theyll test and fix or replace with refurb) which means i am likely to get the same issue.

dunno, otherwise great device.
[HTC Desire S] hitback:
help please? what is the best battery saver?
[HTC Desire S] #Fear:
Use greenify and disable auto sync. Basically no app is magic that can increase your battery capacity,

Greenify hybernates apps and prevent wakeups and disable auto sync prevent apps from updating every hour or so.
[HTC Desire S] ishahxeb:
But Greenify isn't available for ICS. Is it?
[HTC Desire S] otterbvrn:
no, greenify works on ics, i'm using it :) on svhd

[HTC Desire S] bonbergol:
I´m also using Greenify but in addition to that i use Profiles in the settings that automatically switch from 3g to 2g when i´m connected to my home or university wifi.

In my opinion a very efficient battery saver.
[HTC Desire S] kodyro:
From my personal experience with Greenify :

Its indeed good at battery saving, however I experienced phone become unreachable while been untouched for about 3h, phone signal seems to be okay, however nobody can call me nor I can receive messages. It is barely unnoticeable since you text or call anyone, then signal seems to be refreshed.

How do you get rid of only the bottom toolbar in WM5? I downloaded the program that other people had used, but I could only get rid of the top bar (which i'd prefer to keep), and not the bottom one.

I'm working on too many other things as well, it's really just when I get a few minutes to work on each bit.

Quite a bit of behind the scenes stuff involved :(

matheprat: no offence taken at all, didn't think you were being pushy.

ToggleToday was one of the first programs I ever wrote, and then I bought myself a Universal to start development on, but accidently wrote VJBigPhone and that kept me busy for a month or so :(

Now VJBigPhone has gone quiet, I'm finally getting around to re-writing ToggleToday! It's a messy program to write, particularly for dual WM5/WM2003 compatibility, but the basic code is written. Now I'm wrapping it together and will work on a GUI for it.
