[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike_1988:
Hi guys I'm after some help my S3 mini's Wifi turns on but theres no available networks, I've tested bluetooth and this functions fine.

I've done the following

Installed various custom roms

Reverted to stock rom via odin

Tried searching for wifi at other locations with same results

Factory reset, include wiping all cache

I feel this may be a hardware issue, maybe Wifi antenna? I've search high and low on the net with no luck, done all the various Wifi fixes posted throughout these forums. Any suggestions, or has anyone had any experience in replacing the Wifi antenna on this device.

Many thanks in advance!

Hi

Sorry for late reply

First, try to disable advanced wi-fi options, like "avoid poor connection", "wifi optimization" and set "Wi-fi region code" if there is such option on 4.1.2

I cant remember, if those option are available on stock ROM. I am on custom ROM's from second day after purchasing the phone

Second, if the phone is still under warranty go to service

If not, try to change modem using files from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=47452726

Thank for the reply :) the advanced WIFI options aren't available - I tried flashing the modem updates with no luck, I'd be happy to try to replace the WIFI antenna but no idea where to start :(

Whenever my tablet is updating apps it begins to lag tremendously. I'm running cm11 but this problem has been occurring since I was on the stock ROM. I've even flashed a kernel which overclocks to 1.7 ghz and with the interactive governor running it will still lag while updating apps. I tried to create a tasker profile which would initiate the performance governor whenever the play store app is open, but it doesn't help. Any ideas?

You should really change your I/O scheduler and run TRIM and maybe change your Entropy so when I/O lag does come, its not as bad.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zhinkk:
I have the i9300 but when I boot up into download mode it says PRODUCT NAME: SGH-T999 (not my model, though). I think this is because I accidently installed the SGH-T999 version of cyangomenod.

So to try to fix it, I used odin 3.07 and the

"I9300ZSEMC1"

stock rom file to try to put it back onto stock. Odin "stopped working" and crashed and I soft-bricked my phone (Firmware upgrade encountered an issue message at boot).

I tried again using I9300XXEMC3 stock rom, but odin 3.04 says

And fails. My phone says "unsupported dev_type" in red.

Can I please get some guidance? I don't know what I did wrong. What rom should I flash with odin? Should I try to flash the SGH-T999 stock rom with odin?

But flashing a wrong firmware for a different phone may well be a lot more than a soft brick

Did you also flash wrong recovery ???
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zhinkk:
Everytime I flash the stock rom odin fails and phone says "unsupported dev_type". In Download mode it says my phone model is T999, but it's actual GT-I9300.

And I don't think I did. I think I had clockwork mod recovery, I'm not too sure though.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
You have flashed at least the T999 bootloader, which is why it says that in download mode. If flashing a full i9300 stock rom doesn't help then you'll need a new motherboard.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zhinkk:
That really depresses me. Are you sure this is the only solution? Because I remember when my phone WAS working I booted into download mode once and it said the same "T999 Model" and I could still use it. This only happened after I tried flashing the stock i9300 stock rom.

I think it's the cyanogenmod installer that flashed this T999 bootloader for me. When I used the cyanogenmod installer it detected my phone as a AT&T phone and I was dumb enough to click "install" thinking it would work for all galaxy S3's.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DualJoe:
Did you try Kies yet?

Do you still have a custom recovery?

I'm not sure about that adb nvbackup you have done. As far as i know it's only for Qualcomm chipsets not Exynos. Maybe you have severely damaged the device. But try Kies first or if you still have root access with recovery try to flash the bootloader manually.

If everything fails contact the low level guys like [MENTION=3682533]AdamOutler[/MENTION] or [MENTION=591147]Entropy512[/MENTION]. They might be your last hope.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zhinkk:
I tried Kies on two different computers, but whenever I connect my S3 it just says "connecting" forever and never connects to my phone. Tried solutions online, couldn't get it to work.

And I have root access, but can't boot into recovery (says "recovery booting" for a few seconds then goes black screen). So I don't know if I can flash the bootloader manually, unless I did it with odin.

And those seem like busy developers, would they really have time for me? I don't even know what I would ask. :S

Sorry I seem so clueless, I'm just upset/sad/confused/everything right now. Saved up for this phone for a while.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DualJoe:
Try to flash the bootloader only. There are different ones. Maybe you need one that is not blacklisted if that's even possible.

Last option that comes to my mind is an external jtag flasher. Maybe you have a local service shop or similar in your area that could help with that.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zhinkk:
Hmm when I had a functional phone it said I had the ZSEMC1 stock rom, so the "bootLoader_ZSEMC1.tar.md5" flashed from odin should work? I got it off this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2189063

But I don't know if I'm still on ZSEMC1 since I flashed XXEMC3 with odin (but I think it failed) and I got soft bricked.

What could go wrong? Could I hard brick it by installing that bootloader?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DualJoe:
I have no clue but i think all I9300 bootloaders would be ok. Your problem probably is rather to find one that gets accepted. Try the latest one for I9300. There is a thread with different bootloaders somewhere here i guess.

Also try to flash a custom recovery like twrp or cwm. I'm not sure if official tools like odin have a separate bootloader check that prevents cross model flashing. No one really knows how you did that. Maybe it's necessary to be done with dd.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zhinkk:
I tried the ZSEMC1 and XXEMC3 and XXEMG5 bootloaders from this thread and they didn't work: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2189063

How do I get the 'latest' boot loader? That thread is the only one I could really find.

And also I did try installing cwm through odin. It didn't "fail" but it doesn't work when I try to boot into recovery. I'm guessing this has to do with my locked bootloader?

Really don't know what to do at this point. :/
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
New motherboard if you have tried the fixes .
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DualJoe:
Check if 'adb shell' is working in recovery nevertheless. Maybe it's just a display issue in cwm. Also try twrp.

If all that fails go to a mobile shop near you asking for a jtag flash. It shouldn't be too expensive or something. Hardest part is probably to find one locally...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zhinkk:
I tried cwm and twrp. They both install successfully on odin but have the same "recovery starting...." message and they don't work. I've tried connecting the USB when it's in this "recovery" mode but my computer doesn't detect it so I can't start up adb and interface with it.

And also, I doubt I'm going to be able to find any in northwest ohio.I wonder if this service is any good?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DualJoe:
There should be some users/cases here in the forum with jtag flashes already. Maybe you can find even some users who will flash it for you.

I don't think the device is severely damaged hardware wise. I would be more concerned about efs after all the flashing/repartition sessions.

Hi guys,

EDIT: I'm looking to get at least 25 responses total from all the different sources I'm asking from, good or bad. So keep them coming thanks!

Haven't been on here for awhile but I'm considering going Windows Phone exclusive for a mobile game startup that's already gotten some govt support. Can't say too much of the reason why other than the initial game pretty much could *only* be done in Windows Phone believe it or not lol and would utilize exclusive features. As part of the govt program I do have to go out and send out surveys and basically get (hopefully) positive responses that there will be a demand for said games or apps. Please reply in this thread. Your support could mean getting a system seller title off the ground and definitely one that would justify a Windows Phone purchase.

Survey B (Windows Phone Smart phone users)

1) How often do you check the app store/marketplace?

2) Have you ever actually paid money for an app? do you buy them every month? what's your usual spend?

3) Are you a gamer? if so what gaming sites do you frequent for gaming news?

4) Do you play mobile games? if so, do you seek out light entertainment mainly designed to pass the time? or do you look for premium/"real" games?

5) What do you think of the $15 price point for a game that's worth your time and one that you would make time for in order to play?

6) What Windows Phone games have you purchased? how much did you pay for them?

7) Do you think there's a lack of native exclusive Windows Phone games?

8) Would like to see Windows Phone exclusive games utilizing features unique to the OS i.e Live Tiles?

1) daily

2)yep, although i avoid paid apps.

3)not really a "gamer".

4)I play mobile games. Only to pass time. Premium games are kinda ridiculous and annoying on phones.

5) 15$ is too much for a mobile game, i could buy a full blown desktop game with 15$ and i don';t have to bother about controls and stuff.

6)none.

7)What do you mean by "native"?

8)sure, why not?
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fathamburger:
Thanks for the reply. To clarify, premium means one that has a budget and some time and craft put into it. Not just a clone or a time waster game, controls won't be an issue in this particular case. It's literally designed to be on mobile, not just a standard action or PC or console game that just has it's controls modified for mobile. Native means for the platform, in this case designed for the Windows Phone

1) about once a week

2) yes, but not too often. only when I really like an app

3) No. only a bit of everything on pc and mobile for passing time e.g. while waiting in the bus

4) Only to pass time.

5) Not really.. I don't play enough on my phone to justify 15$

6) MC4 (2.99), Lights Off! (.99), Strata (2.99)

7) Not really.. but crossplatformers should launch at the same time on all platforms

8) I don't see the necessarily for it in a game.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
1) Every few days

2) Yes, but typically only when there's a trial available to try out first. I think the most expensive one I've ever bought was $7, most were under $5.

3) Yes, primarily on PC. I don't really follow "gaming news" per se, though I am subscribed to a PCGamer mailing list and I'll occasionally click through Steam's promos. I also am on the GOG and Humble Bundle lists (and buy many of them).

4) Absolutely! I spend most of my time on games that I can put down quickly (various simple arcade shooters, Wordament, Minesweeper, Fruit Ninja, etc.), but I've also been known to log hours at a time playing a game like Civilization: Revolutions or Puzzle Quest 2 or Plants vs. Zombies.

5) It would need to be a *very* persuasively excellent game. I would never spend that much without a trial first, and I would need to expect either a very long storyline or a lot of replayability. That's more than I spend on most PC games, even game bundles. In particular, you'd need to persuade me that this game convincingly overcomes the classic weaknesses of phones as gaming platforms (very limited inputs, fingers obscure the view, stuff may interrupt at any time, battery life is important).

6) CivRev, PvZ, PQ2, FN, (all listed above) and some others... typically I spent $3-$7 on them, preferring the low end. Games that don't take long to play through (short adventure games, tower defense games, etc.) I usually don't spend more than $1.50.

7) Probably, but I don't care. Exclusives are bad for the ecosystem, in my opinion. Yes, a really good exclusive can drive one platform (Halo on Xbox, for example) but most of the time the developers aren't rewarded well enough for being exclusive to make it worthwhile, and that limits the games they can develop in the future. I am (personally) more annoyed by the number of games that don't get ported at all, but that's just a marketshare problem.

8) If it makes sense, go for it (as long as the hit to battery life is reasonable). If it's a gimmick, then no thanks! Most of the time, I want a game to do things when I'm running it, and not so much otherwise.

... Do I dare ask why the Gov is getting involved in this? I trust the US government only slightly further than I can throw the capitol building...

Survey Response

How often do you check the app store/marketplace?

Daily​

Have you ever actually paid money for an app? Do you buy them every month? How much do you usually spend?

Yes. Usually its on a whim. Depends on the Windows Phone Central's review/ the worth of the app in general. If it was something AAA game quality, I'd pay something similar to for Halo: Spartan Assault. I usually spend 3-4 dollars.
​

Are you a gamer? If so, what gaming sites do you frequent for gaming news?

Yes. Kotaku :P, IGN, Polygon, PCGamer, and GameInformer.​

Do you play mobile games? If so, do you seek out light entertainment mainly designed to pass the time, or do you look for premium/"real" games?

Yes, it depends on the mood. Sometimes I'll play an emulated game, sometimes it's Halo, or sometimes it's Bejeweled or COLLAPSE!. To kill time, I find my self playing Just Hot Air.

I kinda answered that question. I'll change it if you need me to.​

What do you think of the $15 price point for a game that's worth your time and one that you would make time for in order to play?

Depends if it refined enough and the amount of content. If the game is $15, then I want to get my worth out of it. That price point is a lot to be asking for to be "just another Indie Developer" in the store. (my 2cts/I don't know any of your other works.)​

What Windows Phone games have you purchased? how much did you pay for them?

Kinda answered above. Bejeweled Live and Live+, COLLAPSE, Z0MB1ES (on teh ph0ne), and Halo: Spartan Assault. I don't remember the prices on those, but I've sank a few bucks into it.​

Do you think there's a lack of native exclusive Windows Phone games?

Native to Metro UI? Kinda too hard to judge. LACK OF WINDOWS PHONE GAMES ALTOGETHER?

YES

​

Would like to see Windows Phone exclusive games utilizing features unique to the OS i.e Live Tiles?

The big Windows Phone exclusive for me is Achievements. Its the only thing we have left as a platform that others don't have (well, at least a halfbaked one.)

Eh, Tiny Death Star uses Live Tiles, but it updates too slow for me to have an interest, but that was a Free2Play/TimeManagement game that needed less than the 45 minute maximum store requirement before the Live Tile could update.​
