Yo!

I purchased a BlueTooth dongle for my PC at home in the vein hope that I can use my home PC internet connection on my Uni / Xda Exec.

I thought this would be a simple process.

I thought wrong.

It should be simple.

As with all things Micro$oft, it is not.

I think my problem lies at the PC end of things. For some reason I think I need a LAN or a Private LAN running. However, under XP Pro I just cannot seem find the setting that allows internet sharing, creation of such a LAN or 'bridging'. All stuff on the internet asks you to do it but reference is made I guess to a version of Windows other than mine.

All I have managed to do so far is create a passworded partnership - which is about as useful as tits on a bull: Damn BlueTooth now just sits there with it's thumb up it's arse.

WHY OH WHY DO THEY MAKE IT SO BLOODY COMPLICATED!!! :evil:

Can someone PURRRRLEASE point me at a guide!!!!

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] coldpenguin:
Shouldn't be difficult. But it is a microsoft product.

I am assuming that you have XP with service pack 2 installed. Basically, have you gone to windows update and made sure the machine is up-to-date?

First, make sure you device pairs OK.

Connect to the internet.

Second, find some way of accessing the properties for your internet connection. My prefered way is to right-click on the connected icon, click status, then click properties.

On the advanced tab, click the box that says:

"Allow other network users to connect through this computer's Internet connection"

Make sure Active-sync is running on the PC.

Load activesync on the PDA, select Menu, Connect-Via-Bluetooth

Once connected, allow it a couple of minutes to sync.

Next load internet explorer. It will say: You are about to connect to the internet

Click OK or Cancel, you are already connected.

On my MDA Pro, that was all I had to do

Hope this helps,

Gareth

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evo6:
Hi everyone,

I hope someone can help me with this problem. Basically I was updating my phone to mk2 BTU via kies and it failed. Kies stopped recognising the phone and it kept going in to stock recovery.

I tried manually flashing stock mk2 via odin but I kept getting the same result.

Then I got fed up and I rooted (cf auto root) and installed TWRP and my phone booted in to a rooted mk2. My knox is now triggered which is a bit annoying but at least it works now.

The problem is if I try to flash stock rom via odin it still does the same thing boots in to stock recovery and then I have to root and install twrp again. I blame all this on KIES!

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks

Any ideas anyone?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xclub_101:
Not clear here - by stock rom do you mean stock MK2 ROM (unrooted, same CSC as the rooted one that works)?

Have you also tried in Kies the special "emergency recovery mode" (under tools)?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evo6:
Hi,

Yes thats right MK2 stock unrooted and same CSC. I tried KIES the first time with emergency recovery but it kept saying device unsupported, that's when i rooted it and installed TWRP and it worked. I don't understand it.

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] chongc1996:
Did you do a full wipe? 11.04gb is probably not counting ROM space which is ~5gb.

If you have your phone set to auto-install apps, that could have taken up space. Plus, you might have stuff like the ROM file still in phone storage, if you delete thouse you might free up some space :)
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] seaman5705:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gorkytje:
Hello all,

I have a GT-I9300 with android 4.1.2

Is the path I am now going to take correct:

1. Use [GT-I930x/T/N][SHV-E210*][SHW-M440S] CF-Auto-Root to root the phone.

2. Use Rom Manager to install Clockworkmod Recovery Touch.

3. Backup EFS, what is the best method?

4. Backup all other partitions

5. Install [CM11][4.4.2][i9300][ROM][KERNEL][DEC22] temasek's UNOFFICIAL Build - V23.

So my qeustion lies in number 3 the EFS. Is there anything else I forgot? Will backing up with CWM be enough to return to my exact state now? (Stock Sammy 4.1.2)

Like I had before with another device, when you plunge into the world of flashing there is alot of mixed up threads. Did I find the correct order?

Also, Baseband/Modem/Rils still a thing to mess with on S3's?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
Using the wrong CF autoroot file will brick your phone, make sure you use the very specific i9300 one.

You need to go read the basics, in general forum stickies -follow a guide and make sure you read carefully before you flash anything.

Use philz recovery, it will backup efs as well.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paintball23456:
make sure that you use files that say i9300 on it, anything else will brick your phone. Backing up EFS is a must. Do it with ktool after rooting. Then just install the rom of choice and your done.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zoleegee:
I would suggest to flash a stock 4.3 first with efs v2, with compliant modem, then cm11.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gorkytje:
Thank you all for your answers! I will make sure to double/triple check that I have the correct CF autoroot. I prefer using CWM recovery so I will use that in combination with ktool after I rooted.

As Zoleegee commented It would be wise to flash a stock 4.3. However there is no stock 4.3 for The Netherlands...

How should I proceed?

Will following this get me were I want to ~> [Official Firmwares] I9300XXUGMK6 (Android 4.3) - United Kingdom (BTU) [18-12-13] ?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paintball23456:
Yeah it will do no problem. Also Search up mega wipe for the s3, flash that before you flash your rom. Super clean phone then to flash cm11 off

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] sal1311:
One word Great! This phone is huge already. Adding a case with a flip cover just makes it bigger and it loses a bit of its luster. Best thing about the ZU is that it's super thin and really very good looking. Adding a flip case kinda made it look bulky and it lost its slim look. I ordered the "bulletproof" screen protector a couple of weeks ago and installed it today. First impressions are as follows.

Fingerprints are a lot less visual and are much easier to wipe off.

Screen sensitivity is exactly as it was before

Swiping or moving your finger around the screen is actually smoother in my opinion

Protection is great and screen will remain scratch free. All I need to get is a slim gel case or bumper and I will have 100 percent protection without ruining the slim design of the device.

Verdict I like it and would recommend this screen protector to anyone with any device.

Before doing this, I suggest that you make a backup, and also copy the current apks that are functioning on your existing setup that you choose to harvest/replace from that rom.

Installing those or any system files from a Verizon rom is neither a horrible idea, nor is it a good one. Worth a shot, of course.

The above would apply to any modifications you might make to your phone.

I've got the black dialer and contacts from my maximus rom also if anyone would like to try,

which is not totally black on a stock rom (though probably still looks good)

and you can set system holo dark color or image with wanam xposed.

also the top bars will be blue and not black without the extra framework images.

if anyone wants to try it shoot me a pm (id like to see a screenshot of it on a stock rom before i just release it into the wild)

Hello guys,

Long time reader/user, first post...

Here is the story... On a concert last week, my GF's Galaxy S3 fell into one big beer glass... it was an accident, nothing to do about it.

After we cleaned all we can in site and let it dry for 24 hours, we turned it on and found the screen was damaged... damn... ok, I got a working screen from a friend and replaced the original... At first everything was OK, but after some 8-10 hours, the screen started to go blank on random events (pressing the apps button, opening an SMS, pressing the power button to lock, and several other actions)...

We did a factory reset, it worked for a while and then failed again... removed the battery and put it back on... worked for some time and then it happened again...

As it was recently upgraded to 4.3 (TCE) software, and it stops happening from time to time, I thought it was a software issue, so then I reinstalled the stock firmware using Odin... it worked for 8-9 hours and then it happened again.

Then, I rooted the device and installed CM 10.2 ... Worked fine again for a while and then it got even worse.

Tried to install Stock ICS (4.1.1) firmware downloaded from sammobile.com, but the install failed and the phone was soft-bricked.

Used Odin again to install 4.3 stock firmware again and it worked... for some hours again...

Tried using a different battery... same issue... removed the SDCARD... same issue...

I still think the stock ICS 4.1.1 (TCE) firmware may work, but unfortunately I cannot find it to download... all the sites (including posts here on XDA) direct to a link on "Hotfile", that unfortunately was taken down by the goverment for piracy issues.

I'm out of ideas now, so, if you guys have this firmware, please help me sharing it, or if you have other ideas to troubleshoot this issue, it will be greatly appreciated... my GF has only one month with this phone and is very frustrated.

Thanks in advace. Kind regards,
