[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hawkn:
Tody I actually had to go back to 4.2.2, I happy I for once did a nandroid backup yesterday befor I flashed 4.3, the phone stopped responding a few minutes after reboot, and gave me a flashing red light i the upper left corner, when screen was on.

After screen went off, the red light changed to a blue light.......

And I just saw that samsung pulled the 4.3 update as well....

I think my nex phone will be a nexus....if they at some point come with microsd slot.....if not.....perhaps going back to my old Nokia 6150, it was rock stable and had a week of power on one charge.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goku80:
Hey guys. With the new hangouts there are a lot of the features from previous SMS apps missing. Like the quick pop up reply from notification menu and multiple contacts.

I like hangouts and to be honest I'd like to use just one app only. Using Textra and it is awesome but can I uninstall hangouts and just use Textra on its own? What you guys use
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BKsFinest:
I use google voice, barely any improvements, very buggy. But I haven't found anything better for texting thru voice. Also kakaotalk which is very bloated. I want a clean app that has option to send/not send push notifications. Know any?

I'm glad u said Hangouts is mandatory, I hate that. Can't we revert back to an older version and not be forced to use proprietary crap.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisrozon:
Hangouts is NOT mandatory, you can use any texting app you want.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Addictedtothegreenguy:
Yea totally not Mandatory I used it for a week or so as my default sms application but then i switched back to the regular that came with the phone.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I use Hangouts. Its functional and full featured. The only annoying thing is that convos with the same person are separated by SMS and IM hangouts.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goku80:
Can we uninstall hangouts if I am not using it?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nixie2121:
love hangouts.. just wish it had a popup...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejavelin:
Still using Handcent and I love it, but I am still 4.3... for now I don't see this changing.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samskisam:
try GO SMS Pro

it´s awesome and can alot of things. It also gives you a pop up notification
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejavelin:
Unless something has changed I will stay with handcent, I never liked Go SMS Pro, or any Go product... But you never know, if its better for some reason I would try it.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
1) Ask Samsung. How would anyone here know ? Anything anyone here says is an uneducated guess at best. Samsung has always dragged the chain with regard to releasing sources, and this isn't going to change anytime soon. And they're only required to release the 'open source' stuff anyways, most of the proprietary stuff never gets released (so needs to be 'hacked'/reverse engineered) & probably never will be.

2) Re: CM, ask the CM team/ask in one of the CM threads ?

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daplaya:
Hi everyone...hope i have posted this in the right place.

I have a GALAXY note 2 ...uk version which is rooted running tigra rom.

All was fine with it until yesterday, my battery was running low so decided to put it on charge. noticed that it didnt recognise the charger. It now has dead battery and will not charge.

When i plug in the charger, i the grey battery icon with the circle in it. then it goes to the battery icon with the green line at the bottom of the battery like its going to charge, but the just goes off and nothing.

Weird thing is that i can get to my recovery screen and can go through my options on there for however long i want to.

thought it may have been a rom issue, so tried putting another one on it, but just installs to 20% then goes off...

so tried resetting, tried to install new rom. tried holding volume up, home and power keys...etc...

HELP WOULD BE GREATTTT....PLEASE...:crying:

Can anybody suggest any solution?

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dslayer83:
Hello, I repair phones for a living, and ive been troubled with this for a few days, I did some research and found the S2 had similar problems. I took the note 2 im having the charging issues with and compared to a working board and found the problem quickly. I tried replacing the charging port many times and still had same results, also tried flashing roms.

This is what i came up with, check and see if you have a damaged chip on the board above the charging ribbon connector. I have included pictures to help you locate the issue.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheLastSidekick:
So my mother's non-rooted stock UVDMD5 S3 was sitting there and mobile background said update checker used 3 kb, so I checked the update checker and a 527.00 MB file started downloading. Just a heads up, is it the new download?

Edit 1 : Confirmed, this is Android 4.3 official.

Edit 2 : [MENTION=4081205]DocHoliday77[/MENTION] has confirmed this actual OTA is ONLY for the SGH-T999..if you don't have one (you won't get the OTA) but DO NOT FLASH OR ATTEMPT TO FLASH ANY ODIN FILES!

Edit 3 : This has KNOX. Proceed at caution.

Edit 4 : have you ever been to jail? No? Me either. But if I had to picture it this update is much like it. Still to Docs leak thread or AOSP but don't touch this with a fine toothcomb if you want to root and later downgrade.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] FunMuscle:
Downloading now, will advise in 40 minutes. However, there's only one thing it could be... 4.3.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheLastSidekick:
Thanks! Proceed at your own risk, for I cannot be sure current method of root will continue to work on 4.3 ...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] FunMuscle:
One way to find out, I suppose. I'm not currently rooted, the phone's bone-stock. Saw the download and immediately came here to see what was going on. Under 30 megs remaining.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] santana_pr:
check samfirmware...theres an update with over 800 mb
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] FunMuscle:
I guess that's a confirmation. Any issues? The AT&T version was riddled with problems.

Edit- Confirmed. Kernel version 3.0.31-1962493, Produced October 31.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Richcar:
According to Kies the update is MJC so its probably the same or similar to leak version DOC post .
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] klin1344:
Nice to see T-Mobile being the first to release 4.3. I will definitely check it out when I get home today.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ThC23:
So does this include the kernel that we were missing for 4.3?

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheLastSidekick:
Yes sir.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Bass_Man25:
Cool! I'd say something like, "Hopefully, we'll should see a rooted version soon...", but this is XDA where it's definitely possible. :D
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
awww man!!!! and i cant play! lol!

seriously though, this is awesome! im bout to download in a min. will then upload to AFH so you guys dont have to wait on that blazing fast Hotfile!

will post more info in a few...

but yes, its the same as my leaked build, can anyone confirm if i was correct and knox is NOT included?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] overnow:
anyone have any issues with the update? I saw on engadget that some other carriers pulled the update due to problems
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ThC23:
Can someone upload a rooted Odin package, please!

If possible, if not without root.

Thanks

Powered by the SGSIII
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Ok, something important to be aware of. From piecing information together from users around these and other forums, it appears just about everyone who had problems with the 4.3 update had updated via OTA. So if you choose to update this way, please let us know how things go. But if you do experience problems, DONT PANIC, Grab Your Towel, and start downloading the Odin flashable full firmware update.

This of course will include the T-Mobile kernel. I am 90% certain that the reason WiFi did not work with the leaked kernel is because we did not flash the full firmware update. I believe the WiFi modules needed to be built into the bootloader (likely the aboot partition to be exact). This is what I was attempting to confirm when I bricked my phone. So by flashing the full firmware/OTA update, you should have a fully working build, including WiFi if I am correct.

Aside from this, I would suggest reading through some of my posts in the leaked Rom threads. This is the same build that was leaked to us a week or so ago. Do let me know how things are going, I wish I could join you guys in the discovery phase of this "official" version, but I seriously doubt that other than the kernel working, and Knox likely being left out, it will be any different from what we have been using.

I do not see any reason you should not be able to root, but I will get an insecure kernel posted asap. As soon as my download finishes. In the meantime, if anyone wants the insecure kernel from the leaked build, it should be exactly the same one. Download here:

UVUEMJC_Insecure_kernel.zip

Hope everything goes well, and I am still here to help!

---------- Post added at 10:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:31 AM ----------

a root66 version will be coming soon. These have always been released within a day of us getting a new official release. Please be patient though, as I don't think mrRobinson has the S3 anymore. I will send him the download link as soon as I have it posted on my AFH account.

If he cannot get to it, i will do my best to get you guys a root66 build asap. But again, please be patient.

---------- Post added at 10:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:34 AM ----------

You know, I have to be honest....I was hoping to be wrong about the latest leak becoming our official build! Was hoping they would update one more test build first, then we would have had another kernel/modem/build......oh well! I must say that I am quite surprised they went through with our release so quickly!

Someone must be watching us......
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ThC23:
Thanks Doc, I'm in no rush.

Thanks for all your help, great appreciated.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
oh, one more thing. if updating via ota, try Voodoo OTA Roitkeeper from the store. its worked in the past to preserve root.

and can someone pull the ota before applying it, and upload it for me please?

look in /data/fota, /data/temp, /cache/fota

its there somewhere, just cant remember for certain.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Supamike88:
Where can you get an Odin package without root? My doesn't care about root but would still like an solid update incase the ota has bugs
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
samsung–updates.com

sammobile requires registration.

if you want to wait a few i will have it posted in my firmware thread where you can download it MUCH faster. hotfile takes a while.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LordPhong:
I'm bone stock rooted and software update complained about software being modified. Can someone confirmed that the T999L AND T999 are being updated.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Supamike88:
I did factory reset, wiped system, wiped cache, wiped dalvik, flashed the new modem, flashed the 4.3 rom and that's it
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rcsrich:
Yes, the friggin' keyboard setting finally sticks through a reboot! My wife likes to trash-talk her S3 (she has an iPhone from work that she prefers) and if I heard her complain about having to re-select Swiftkey after every reboot one more time, I was going to take a long walk off a short pier.

Didn't know about the graphics driver change, but does look a little sharper now that I think about it. The phone just seems a little smoother in general I'd say...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tim_m:
I understand her frustration about the keyboard after reboot. It drove me up a wall. I believe the issue wasn't the galaxy s3 itself though. I'm just glad it no longer happens. The sharpness and brightness is the first thing i noticed after it rebooted. I was like wow. You will even notice the icons in the notification area are much more visible.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] allendj81:
Is it just me or the mjc radio is terrible with wifi? it disconnects all the time and keeps giving notifications that my wifi signal is unstable and then it disconnects. I do have wifi on when sleeping and to switch networks if connection is lost. would this be related to the radio or the ROM itself? you guys having this problem? :confused:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Jay Rock:
I do get a few notifications like those when I'm short of wifi range and also noticed that while playing Modern Combat 4 online, I'll always lose connection during a game if I have Wifi calling enabled because it'll switch from wifi calling back to cellular signal. Disabling wifi calling or changing it to cellular network preferred fixes this for me. I do get a lot of "certificate errors" or something like that when the phone tries to use wifi calling.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rcsrich:
I have always kept WIFI calling off except when I need it because of this issue- got tired of all the "certificate errors".

I have also noticed that this phone doesn't seem to play well with certain wireless networks. If I connect at work, guaranteed it will disconnect after a few minutes and often won't reconnect automatically. This phone would do the same thing on 4.1.2 as well, whereas my laptop and other android devices never seem to have this issue.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Try unchecking the auto switch. That should help it a bit.

If MJC isn't working well have you tried MJ4?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] serio22:
Probably has to do something with 4.3, I'm running the mjc radio on 4.1.2 and I'm not experiencing any problems like that.. Try switching radios like doc said and see if that will help
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Supranoob:
I can also confirm that keyboards finally stick! Great update from samsung, and yeah the screen does look sharper than before
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] RoxAbout:
Wow! after reading all of this I'm glad my burn itch didnt get the best of me on this update!

Doc I'm sorry that you bricked your s3 I'm sure you saw this thread already http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2439367

Did that work for you?

Thumbs up for wanting to write a how to guide for this update.

A couple questions "Doc on your Leaked rom [minus all the headaches of the OTA] does tethering work? in the sense of not getting the tmobile push messages to buy tethering?

Thanks for your hard work/efforts Doc!

I for one really apreciate all your hard work!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] allendj81:
As far as I know the MJC radio is the only one that works with Tmo's 4.3 update. Let me know if I missed something :good:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Thanks man! I do enjoy this stuff!

There's a mod for tethering in my thread, if I forgot to add it to the mods and extras, ill do so tonight. I think you'd still need something in addition, but ill have to look at it again.

And yeah, I've been a regular in that debrick thread. Can't figure why it won't work on mine through. Spent many many hours trying! Pretty much resolved to get a replacement at this point. Hopefully, ill finally be able to sometime next week.

The MJ4 modem should also work. Didnt get a chance to test, but I'd be very very surprised to hear otherwise.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ThatDuckGuy:
I've been contemplating accepting the update or not for a couple days now. The bugs mentioned don't make me very confident.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] calexchelse:
I will say this. I went ahead and did the root 66 from mr.robinson. Then flashed my cwm recovery and flashed docs official deodexed rom. That is what I was running before going to 4.3 firmware. Used the root66 so as not to mess with Knox. I can say with updated firmware, phone is running smoother than when I just had the official deodexed running. No more lag.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Why not just flash the rom then? Far greater number of people have been happy with it than have had problems from what I can tell.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] serio22:
I ran 4.3 for a few days and didn't experience any bugs, only reason I went back to 4.1.2 was because I couldn't get DSP manager or v4a to work on 4.3, other wise I'd still be running it.. Don't do the official update, just flash one of the ROMs and try it for yourself :D
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bigsam731:
OK. I have OTA 4.3 and decided to downgrade to 4.2.1. I installed TWRP 2.6.3 and it asked if i wanted to wipe so i did. BIG MISTAKE. i wiped the system and everything else. I can still get to download mode and recovery but i can't seem to install any rom on the phone. any help please.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] 4Orr:
Use Odin to re-flash the 4.3 OTA file in download mode.Your firmware has been upgraded and any forceful attempt to downgrade the firmware will result in a brick.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bigsam731:
thanks for the quick reply. this is what i did, i unchecked the security box in TWRP and installed Doc's rom. it worked but i lost my imie. then i installed UVUEMJ4 Modem did a factory reset and I'm back in business.

edit;

i used UVUEMJC_Modem

I'm real sick of Samsung's BS and Knox so I've decided that I'm gonna install CM11. Is the easiest way to do this by just downgrading my gs3 to 4.1.2, rooting it, and then installing CM11?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
If you updated to 4.3 you cannot downgrade. This info, plus alternatives, plus much more has been covered a lot already. Knox is easily gotten rid of.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DigitalJMD:
Im now running official deodexed knox free rom from doc,is this rom ciq free too? Its running great so far.I noticed the gallery opens a bit slow,i dont know if its because of my class 4 sd card
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] typicalgamer:
So um...is there any way I can get CM 11 on here?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Yup ciq is removed.

Not sure about gallery. Havent seen it posted before.

Flash in cwm
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DigitalJMD:
Great thanks.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Jay Rock:
So even officially upgraded through OTA, using any other rom is as simple as flashing CWM and then flashing a rom through CWM, as long as it's not under 4.3? That is some cheese.

confused about tmo-t999lte

I have the t999lte and can I just flash one of doc or the other knox ciq free roms and modems or is there a special modem kernal rom combo I have to get. I've read about this and I'm really confused any help would be appreciated. I'm not a newb to this but I've been stuck on stock and would like to get 4.3 up and going even though I own my phone and its out of warrenty I don't want the headaches. Thanks in advance. :confused:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Pretty much. Cant guarantee every rom would work, but I've read several others have done this and were fine

Youre outta luck till the update for tge T999L comes out, sorry.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TremuloS:
Hey doc thanks will be looking forward to it. We jist got lte in my area and honistly its no better than it was before lol but thanks for the info will be waiting for that update to roll out.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jmgallego:
Did I get it?

Hi!

Long time member who just returned.

I need to dust off my upgrade skill... reading the threads I think I got it, however, please let me know if I got it right.

- If I OTA my T999 with T-Mobile's upgrade, I will not be able to downgrade or possible not use enhanced versions, right?

- If I want to upgrade my T999, I should use root66_TMO_T999UVUEMJC_2, but just the ROM part only, correct?

- To burn the ROM part, I should use Odin (3.09) and just select root66_TMO_T999UVUEMJC_2 under "AP", check mark it and "Start" it, correct?

Sorry for the newbie questions but I really do not want to brick my S3 ;)

Thanks!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Just flash recovery via odin, then flash your rom via recovery
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jmgallego:
Will do, THANKS!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jmgallego:
