[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
I've just done exactly the same thing, downgrade bootloader to BLFB then triangle away. It all worked fine, flash counter is still zero with custom recovery and kernel.

I'd suggest you start again, reflash bootloader and make sure you've got the right flash kernel for triangle away.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amos91:
Think I just worked it out. Wasn't playing ball with Googy 2.08. Worked first time with stock kernel.

Lesson learnt!

Even seems to say the samsung version is official and not modified. Result :)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simacca:
I updated to 4.3 BTU using dn3 as the bootloader. I did something wrong and ended up with the bog standard 4.3 without the extra Note 3 stuff and knox enabled.

Basically can I still update the bootloader to dn3?

I'm not bothered about triggering knox because I already have by rooting.

Thankyou

Sent from my Sinclair ZX81.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fygaroo:
DN3 Is a complete rom and it doesn't flash the bootloader it keeps the old one you had , you should go to the original tread and read it before you decide to start flashing or you will brick your phone.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eXelero:
hi there!

just wanted to let you know that, for the last 2 days now, I'm experiencing this weird issue:

http://forums.androidcentral.com/google-nexus-5/334621-problem-half-blank-screen-incoming-calls.html

the lower half of the screen, when I receive an incoming call, is black (this wasn't so in the first 1-2 days). even if the caller has a contact photo, it's shown only like 1/3, the rest is black. this appeared like 2-3 days ago and didn't change after the small update I've succesfully applied.

the device is an 8GB version, bought from Amazon.de.

any1 has this issue? is there a fix to it?

THX!

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eXelero:
thanks, but I wouldn't want to root my Moto G yet. especially since I'm kinda waiting for the KitKat update.

so, is this a bug, or is it a new "feature" of the later Android versions? because if it's the latter, it kinda sucks bigtime! the example in your other thread (where only the hat can be seen from the contact picture) is a good one for how stupid this is if it's really intended like this.

btw, this changed after 1-2 days of proper usage, I remember the incoming call screen to show the complete contact picture at the beginning, I guess it changed later. would it change if I'd reset the phone, for example?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eXelero:
did a factory reset and unchecked the option to restore settings and apps from the previous phone -- unfortunately, this didn't fix the issue. still, when there's an incoming call, i can only see like 1/3 of the contact picture. the rest of the screen is black...grrrreat!
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaftenberg:
Man, this is a bug in Phone.apk of Android 4.3 and I fixed it. You need root though if you want to change the apk.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rht_sg:
I have just got a Moto G (4.3) myself and noticed for the first time, this new "feature" of having have black or blank screen during an incoming call.

somewhere else I even read someone's reply rationalizing why it was necessary to have a 2/3 black screen, so that the green and red buttons can be easily visible !!

couldn't the designers just added a small black background to the red and green buttons? that would show them clearly !!

anyway,

I installed this HD caller ID app, so now a nice big picture of the contact is seen.

it does run as a service, and though I don't like this, its still better than having to see the hair of my contacts calling me !!

it has many reviews, ratings and downloads, though u might check other similar apps too. or perhaps another dialer app.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tw.nicky.HDCallerID

works good enough for me, has some themes where u can change how the green and red buttons show up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nova5:
Updated to 4.3 last night.. bricked. Thank you so much VZW.. very much. Die you soulless minions of orthodoxy.

Alright.. now onto what I could use help with...

Getting my data of a bricked phone's INTERNAL memory not SD card. I can enter Recovery and Download modes. Binary and System are "Official"

The phone boots through the Samsung Logo, hits the VZW Logo and freezes, so boot is incomplete. Can I access the internal storage somehow over USB? neither Recovery or Download make the normal "drive" mounts available.

I'm off to google to look for myself, any help would be most welcome.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hollywood74:
This type of boot happened to me before using odin. I did a battery pull, manual boot to recovery, and wipe data. Booted fine after that. The downside in your situation would probably be losing the data on your phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nova5:
Not ready to do a factory reset yet.. might not have a choice.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nova5:
Factory Reset was done.. Zero success. VZW is replacing under warranty (which its just outside of, they are doing it since the update killed the phone)

Hi,

I really hate having to detangle my earphones everytime I want to listen to something on my Exec.

I was hoping anyone of you would know whether there are any bluetooth stereo earphones/earbuds (not headphones) that will work with the Exec for music?

I dont want the type where I have to plug in some sort of transmitter... I was hoping to use the built in bluetooth.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] Jorgee:
Not sure if any exists becuase:

1. Where to put the transmitter?

2. Where to put the battery (if earbuds without wires, both should have batteries built in. this might be a problem)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] sub69:
Yes, bluetooth stereo headphones exist (the Motorola HT820, for instance). No they don't (currently) work with the JasJar.

We need to wait for a ROM upgrade which adds A2DP functionality. This is something that MicroSoft have nade available to the OEM's (i-mate, Q-Tek, O2, etc) but they're dragging their heels when it comes to actually releasing the upgraded ROMs.

Indeed, if i-mate support are to be believed, their imminent ROM upgrade will not include A2DP functionality, which probably means waiting another three months for the next round of ROMs....

Of course, I'm not at all annoyed that I have a useless pair of Bluetooth headphones.....especially considering the fact that other i-mate phones have A2DP already....... :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] Jorgee:
Actually Guys,

Back to the topic, the guy who started this post is looking for stereo bluetooth EARPHONES. not headphones like the HT820.

And also WITHOUT wires.... so he doesn't have to "detangle" them everytime.

Tall order. Anyone know of a WIRELESS EARPHONE/EARBUD STEREO bluetooth headst? I think that's what he was looking for.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] Jorgee:
The second point was NO WIRES so no "detangling" . Sony Erricson are also releasing a similar bluetooth thing, but both of them HAVE wires.

Close, 1 for 2.

Any 2 for 2 devices?

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] belfast-biker:
I had the same problem - My Sony EX71 earbuds were fantastic quality, but detangling was a pain in the ass. While I'd prefer earbuds too, and looked at those above first, I went for a pair of HT820's and don't regret it for a second. They're not earbuds of course, but are pretty goddamn stylish to use and the quality is lovely. They also use AVRCP for remote contol and have a mic so I can replace my bluetooth headset too.

EDIT: OK, so I'm a little like Princess Liea, but I'm secure enough in my sexuality to not care. :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] 8YEight:
Hi,

I just bought this one: http://www.pdashop.nl/product/23366. Works fine with my MDA Pro. I use it in combination with PocketMusic Bundle. You can also skip tracks, pause/play music. The only thing is that it won't show the track title/artist. In the manual it says it reads the id tags, but not in my case. (Maybe it's an issue of PocketMusic).

It's also nice that it comes with a cord to hang it around your neck.

Wifi is awesome. I am getting wifi signals while driving along the interstate in Houston, however 3g and LTE are terrible and this is supposed to be one of the first LTE areas for Sprint.

The phone barely connects to the internet while my wife's EVO 3d can get a signal easy. For example I tried to load the maps app while sitting at a traffic light and kept getting no connection. While hers loaded up almost instantly. Tried the same with the internet browser.

Both phones are rooted. Anyone else having data connection issues when not using WIFI?

Did you ever figure out a fix for your issue? I've been having the same problem lately. I recorded a video today and the microphone volume was incredibly low and I could barely hear myself talking, even when I put the volume up to the max. It seems to only be an issue when taking a video because I tried a voice call, a speakerphone call, and a skype video call and each time the microphone was loud and clear. I have a video that I recorder about a month ago and it is plenty loud so it seems to be a new issue. I'm out of ideas...any thoughts?

Thanks for the quick response. I'm running stock (not rooted). I tried rebooting and still have the same issue. There's no way to adjust the recording microphone volume in the camera app, correct? I wish I could figure out the issue. I suppose I could try rooting and installing a custom ROM, but I'm happy enough with stock. If you have any other suggestions, I'd very much appreciate it.

[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] bluzman:
If you're side-loading it, make sure that you've checked the box in Settings (>Security, I think) that allows installing apps other than those from the Play Store.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Themes and Apps] mirosz:
Maybe this is a system app. Then it needs to be copied to system/app folder. And the correct permissions needs to be set. But this process is only possible with a rooted device.

Yes. It is a system app. Needs to go to /system/app and set permissions to rw-r-r.

Hello, I downloaded the 4.3 update file and sought to update, but the install failed. I am running a stocked rooted version of the previous tw rom.

After the install failed, I have decided to stay with my current setup and not take the update.

Is there anyway to delete the 4.3 update file that I downloaded? Thanks in advance!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] GMPOWER:
The update file is located at /cache/fota/update.zip . To kill the OTA update for the time being, locate the following files in /system/app, SDM.apk and SDM.odex, and rename them to SDM.apk.bak and SDM.odex.bak, then reboot the phone. If some time in future, you want to allow the update to happen, you just need to remove the .bak from those files, and reboot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] banditsw:
Thanks for the reply. I checked the file that you reference, but there is no zip file in there; it's empty. Would you know why it seems to have disappeared?

Thank you!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] GMPOWER:
The system would have deleted it after the failed install.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] banditsw:
thank you...I tried to install the update after reverting back to stock recovery via ez-recovery and locking the bootloader via ez-unlock.

However, the update install failed. Are people who are taking the ota using ODIN first to get back to stock firmware and then take the OTA?

I am running stock rooted TW...thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BattsNotIncld:
You do realize that taking the OTA will lock your bootloader forever, right?

If you wait a little bit a dev will release a stock/rooted 4.3 TW ROM that you can run with our precious insecure bootloader.

But to answer your question, yes, you most likely have to ODIN back to a previous stock firmware and then take all the OTAs from wherever you are. Apparently if you make any kinds of changes to /system the OTA will fail.

The Bootloader is unlocked.but no software...:(

What ROM's have you tried, are you S-on or S-off and what error are you getting in recovery?
