ODIN didn't recognize phone in download mode.

i quite familiar with the rooting process on my s3 gti9300, somehow my phone has updated through OTA and my root access is lost.The thing is i got stuck during root process because ODIN didn't recognize my phone ID:COM while in download mode.I tried using different usb port, usb cables and different version of ODIN yet it still bore the same result. I tried connecting my phone in normal mode and opening ODIN, now it identifies my phone ID:COM but i can't root if not on download mode. Any help or suggestion is needed.

If i were you i would try to first flash the latest stock rom through ODIN, boot phone in recovery and do a complete factory reset/wipe.

If the problem still exists i would screw open the phone and reseat any flatcables.

If the issues still exists after that perhaps the Mali400 has gotten lazy and needs some overvolting (like +25mV) for stability.

Mp4 h264 playback on aosp

Hi guys.

I don't know if this question has been asked before but since is not a major problem I´ll just ask here.

I have some mp4 h.264 video files that stutter on any aosp 4.4 rom that I tried using hardware decoding. Obviously the solution is to use software decoding, but the problem is that they become highly pixelated when using software decoding (because of the scaling to fit the screen since they are not hd). I´ve tried using mxplayer and vlc and the results are the same. So anyone know any workaround to this, like lets say another media player that does software decoding better or a alternative codec?

FYI the same files play smoothly and are not pixelated in any sammy 4.3 rom using software and hardware decoding.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frag1le:
I use a AOSP rom and h264 clips recorded with the camera play smooth with HW decoding.

x264 1080p series and movies do play with HW decoding but with to little fps.

I use MX player for this and then you'll need to use HW+ decoding, then x264/h264 will play smooth.

If not, then the AOSP roms you've been using are ****e.

cyanogen mod 10.2 dial history feature

ve recently updated from stock telecom 4.3 firmware to the cm 10.2 stable version becusee it was going very slowly.

I like it so far but oje feature that i miss so much is the call log auto history thing.

For example in stock rom if i i start dialing someone if they werent saved to my contacts i could see if i called them or texted them at am earlier time.

This rom does not have the feature. It only recognises the number if there is a contact on my phone.

For example in the old one i could start typing 021 12....

It will come up with list of numbers that has similiar numbers and if i click on it i can see its history on when i called or texted them.

Also the other problem is on this rom as soon as click on their name it dials immediatwly instead of giving me options to text or video call.

In short i would prefer the original dialler. Anyway to fix this?

Thanks.

Sorry for the mistakes on phone.

this is for the galaxy s3 i9300
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bruno_257:
Hi, thanks for the reply.

Yes most videos are fine with hw decoding. I think that only a few have a problem with it.

In my case i think its h.264/mpeg4 avc that have this problem.

I´m fine with using sw decoding but the problem is that the videos are pixelated on aosp when they look fine with sw on a sammy rom.

As i said its not a big deal but its annoying.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frag1le:
I've always got the Killa.Sampla.x264.mkv on my devices to test HW decoding capabilities. (It's the birdscene from Planet Earth)

It's h.264 / MPEG4 AVC with a really high bitrate.

Our phone is unable to play this with HW accel, HW+ doesn't work either and it stutters with S/W decoding.

But i'm not getting any pixelation or corruption on AOSP with CarbonRom.

Perhaps you could try the custom Ffmpeg codec for Mxplayer

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bruno_257:
I have the same problem with this webm taken from neogaf.

But i´ve found something using mxplayer during my test.

So using chrome I click on the webm and choose to open the file with mxplayer.

Using hw decoding the video wont play.

Using hw+ decoding there´s an error.

Using sw decoding (by default) the video plays fine but its pixelated (probably because of the scaling).

But if I switch to hw+ and then switch back to sw decoding the video plays fine and its not pixelated.

Strange :confused:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frag1le:
I'm using Opera as my default browser and this webm plays fine (with a bit of pixelation) in the browser itself until i press fullscreen then i get a black screen and CarbonRom crashes completely.

Perhaps you should try to open this in Chrome or stock AOSP browser.

ps. is that the new Mario Kart?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bruno_257:
Using chrome the video wont play but using the aosp browser the video plays but there are some green artifacts.

The thing is using the *trick* with mxplayer the video plays fine and its not pixelated.

Well at least is better than nothing and since hw decoding works in most videos i think i don´t mind this few "extra steps". :p

ps. yes it is.

Go and read in SIII general section, you will find pretty good explanation about EFS and stuff for your knowledge. and as a advice, do not try to go below android versions of 4.1.2 MG4 builds. cuz what you had was 4.3 updated your EFS partition to EFS v2 and when you flashed ICS it was build to use EFS v1 which was used before MG4 builds. so system not recognized the EFS and it wont get registered on mobile network. and dont try this again and again, it may courroupt your EFS.

It wont make you having less lags, Im not expert on cpu scaling and governers, but if you keep trying to run it at max frequency all the time, CPU starts to heat up and that maybe the cause give you lags. and you may damage your hardware. and I have played almost lots of games on s3 like asphalt 8, dead trigger, most wanted etc just faced some glitches here and there but notihng major affected the experience.

I suggest you to step down from what you are trying to do and flash a good rom and custom kernel (my personel favourite boeffla) and even in default settings it runs smooth. if it isnt enough, load a profile by our experts and u would have ultimate performance at the cost of battery.
