[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] _newb_:
So, I had my S3 in the cargo pocket of my pants, knelt down and must have tweaked the device just enough to crack the glass. It's a tiny crack that goes from the lower left side, to the southeast, for about 3'4", then south, for the last 1'4". Now, however, the screen is completely dark, and doesn't respond to touch.

The phone does work; however, with a catch. I can boot it up, see the hardware keys light up, and hear the first vibration for my notification of whatever it is, but within a few minutes of a cold boot, the device heats up very quickly and it never did that before. I have the last stable SlimBean on it, overclocked to 1726 or whatever the number is, but undervolted by -50mV I believe...and it's never been this hot, except when messing around with massive overclocks like a year ago.

I am curious if there's a way to harvest my texts, contacts, pictures, etc. Not all of these are stored on my SD. I know some are on the internal storage due to my not realizing it after flashing so many ROMs, and such. I just want my stuff back. I don't have a Samsung account and I don't know if ADB is enabled or not. I also oon't know anyone else with an S3, and even if I did, I don't know that they'd agree to let me try to plug their screen into my device.

I have a Note 3 on the way, so being without a phone isn't a huge issue. Any suggestions?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] csmasn:
Odin a non-touch recovery and make a nand to external sd. You can restore text from a nand using Nandroid Manager.

Edit: didn't see the dark screen part. But if your are using Slim you can try the adb. In some AOSP adb is on by default.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] _newb_:
If it helps, I'm using SlimBean on 4.3.1 I believe it was. The download I need is directly from Google, err, Android, for the developer tools or whatever it's called, yes? I probably also need the Samsung phone drivers, if I recall? Sorry, I just installed Win 8.1 so I lost all the software I had prior and haven't gotten around to figuring out what I need yet.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] _newb_:
All right, so I was able to pull files from internal storage and my SD by plugging the device in after powered on. I managed to grab the contacts, telephony, and mmssms DB and DB-journal files using ADB. Luckily USB debugging was enabled, allowing ADB to work.

Hopefully those DBs will allow me to extract the info I need to restore everything. I know I can't just drop them onto my soon-to-arrive Note 3 (ETA a few hours) and expect them to work. I wonder if the SMS Contacts backup app I used would be able to pull the data and then I can import it. We'll see!

Anyway, now I'm going to try and flash full stock MD4. I know awhile back I flashed a MD4 full stock unrooted with Odin and had the added benefit of resetting the flash counter during the process. Can this be done on a phone with no display/touch? All the threads I've seen say to use CF's TriangleAway app, but I didn't have to use the Google Play app before, if I recall.

I then plan to sell the phone to anyone who wants to buy it. It's still in great shape and the battery holds enough charge to last me about two days of little to moderate use with airplane mode enabled overnight. 32 GB SD not included. PM me if interested. Until then, I'm going to try to sell it locally first, then on eBay.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] _newb_:
S3 still available if anyone's interested. PM for info.

hi i updated via odin flash to stock kk from android central and whenever i place my note 3 on a qi wireless charger it plays a ringtone ("over the horizon" to be exact) it plays through the system volume "channels" has anyone ever had that happen or know of a fix other than what i have in place now (which is system volume set to off)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kellywi:
YES OMG

This is the most annoying thing ever, i thought i was going crazy. Same thing qi charger and i happen to have an sview case. I am running a non stock kk but the same thing. I cannot narrow down the app doing it and deleting the over the horizon mp3 does not fix it.

You can edit your build.prop and add qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 to the bottom and save and reboot. Make sure you are mounted as RW when saving. If you are S-ON you will need to modify the file while in a custom recovery.

I have yet to come across a successful rooting method for the GT-P5210

I've looked, and tried unsuccessfully to flash rom with Odin.

I've found many other "ways" to do it online, but none of them have any confirmed successful roots.

I would like to know a sure-fire way to root the GT-P5210

A way that someone has tried before....

I can't have a bricked device

Hello new to Kitkat and wanting to know can you move apps like GTA Vice city to the SD card?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hnkotnis:
Without root apps cannot be "Forced" or "Linked" to SD Card.

Without root you can only move apps which are moved from Settings ====> Apps ====> Manage Apps ====> App name ====> Move to SD Card.

Other apps which are created to be installed in Internal memory, like LWP, few games, cannot be moved to SD Card without root.

How do games perform on class 10 Sd cards? do games play well enough?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hnkotnis:
I put GTA III, Temple Run 2, Temple Run Oz, CS Portable, Asphalt 8 Airborn, NFS Most Wanted, Hot Pursuit, Brother's in Arms 2 HD, N.O.V.A. 3 etc. on my SanDisk 32GiB class 10 card.

I cannot notice much difference while playing (Device:- Samsung Galaxy S Plus GT-I9001). Same as if in internal.

The game takes 15-20 seconds more while loading. But that is not much important.

Also on my other phone Galaxy y GT-S5360 NFS Hot Pursuit, Brother's in Arms 2, NOVA 1, GTA III data is stored default on SD Card (same card specs as above) because internal memory is only 190MiB (WTH!!! :D). I use ChainFire3D on Galaxy y and DO NOT USE on Galaxy S+. Also CS Portable does not required CF3D.

Press Thanks if helped.

That is one of the biggest reasons i want s-off. So is there anyway we can tether?

Is that a normal feature on HTC devices or something? Because I've seen something similar on custom rom's, but never on stock devices (gnex, Droid X, 2012 and 2013 nexus 7's ).

Through Verizon approval. Considering their track record that's not very reassuring.

Since VZW's version is the only One (capitalization intended!) that's been released in the US so far, maybe it's going to be missing for all local carriers. Android Central seems to think so, but also notes it's coming in a future software update (as others have mentioned):

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tangent_:
Things like this are why I tried so hard for so long to stay with T Mobile. Their customer service is second to none, and they don't screw around with the phones. But their data coverage was just awful for me and simply wasn't improving...

Here's to hoping somebody finds a way to root this phone. I don't regret going from my 2013 One to the M8, but I do miss Viper...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] deeznuts:
Hopefully bring back the block text message feature in the stock text messaging app as well! We have blocked call feature but for some reason they took out the block text message feature???
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Daniel323la:
I pre ordered the s5 from T mobile on 3/24/14 @ around 6pm PST, then I got an email from them the next day saying it was back ordered.

My question is who else pre ordered same day and got same email?

I Think they're just having to say that to everyone since they will get stocked soon?

If you didn't get that email, what time did you pre order? I hope we all get it on time!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Derzicom:
Backordered as well... Ordered mine on 03/24/14 @4:36pm CDT
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] TheArtiszan:
Yeah that is the way they handle preorders. That is normal.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] imcunner:
pre-ordered mine as well on the 24th next day it said it was back ordered.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] SF Steven:
what does your order show as your expected delivery date? i chose regular shipping (not thinking twice about it since pre-orders on Sprint shipped free and arrived the day of -or day before- launch) and noticed that my delivery date is 4/16.

when i pinged them on twitter, they told me it's because i didn't pay for expedited shipping. then they said their inside info suggested they'd get them out the door in time to arrive by 4/11.

just curious.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] imcunner:
Mine said its "currently back ordered with no estimated delivery date. you will receive another message when in stock and shipped"
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Daniel323la:
Mine ALSO showed a date around 4/16, I did ALSO select overnight shipping hoping it would arrive sooner ....day after, it showed "ground" shipping($6.99). I called tmo, they said that they're changing it for everyone since it really doesn't matter since we would "all" receive by 4/11 ,which means it might go out by 4/8.....Let's hope they keep their word!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] M9x3mos:
Huh just checked mine and it still shows expedited shipping with delivery on 4/11
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] imcunner:
mine just says regular shipping 6.99 with no estimated delivery date
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Daniel323la:
You must have been one of the first ones to pre order? What time did you do it? Have you confirmed that what was shown on the invoice was actually charged? Remember, that they mention that you won't get charged until the item is shipped. So they might just switch it on us for a cheaper shipping price towards the end?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] M9x3mos:
Yeah that was on the invoice at the time of order, on the order status page, and what I got in my email.

I preordered mine at 3 am EST on the first day possible.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] km8j:
the execution of this (as with all phone pre-orders) is abysmal. the info i got from t-mo tho does match what others are saying, regardless of the massive inconsistencies in their written communication.

- all preorders by today should arrive by 4/11

- tmo is advising customers NOT to pay for expedited shipping as it wont matter

- they are staggering shipments based on geography, inventory, etc. so people may get them sooner than 4/11

- all preorders show as "backordered" until shipped
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] eclipxe:
Someone on reddit (r/galaxys5) had his T-Mo preorder ship today. Anyone else?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] M9x3mos:
Sadly mine hasn't shipped yet.

I'm in the Philadelphia pa area.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] _eroz:
Yeah saw that.....Mine is still on backorder with a scheduled delivery date of April 16th.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] km8j:
as i mentioned above, i do not believe the scheduled delivery date means anything. all they are doing is taking the ship date in the system and adding 5-7 days.

---------- Post added at 06:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:06 PM ----------

Has anyone tried calling local stores? They are normally last to know but worth a shot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] M9x3mos:
No I haven't thought of that.

Worth a shot.

But online support was useless.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] km8j:
yea the local stores say the 11th. customer care SWEARS no one is getting it till the 11th also.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] km8j:
The info on the website changed. It now says you can preorder by april 6th and get it "without waiting in line, guaranteed"
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] SF Steven:
sounds like the pre-order demand was lower than planned.

to-may-to, to-mah-to, I think they should ship them today!

:laugh:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] km8j:
phat chance
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] SF Steven:
a guy can dream
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] M9x3mos:
Yeah I was getting hopeful when someone said theirs shipped.

All I know is of I don't have mine by the 11th I'm calling and demanding a refund of my expedited shipping.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] _eroz:
Turns out his gf also ordered a replacement phone and it is a replacement that is coming in and not the S5.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] km8j:
edit: i get it now. thought you were saying she was also getting a phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] stevew84:
Just ordered mine today. Estimated delivery on the 14th, got the white one. Mine says "order placed", not back ordered.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] mk262:
Someone on ebay will enjoy my unopened preorder. Locked bootloader ruins it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] vegabyson:
I jumped in the store with it. Still using my note 3 until it gets in. Ordered it on the 30th and checked T-Mobile online today and that's what's it said
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] SF Steven:
pfffffft!

mine still says backordered.

wah, wah WAAAAAAH.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] vegabyson:
I guess it better to do it in the store
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] stevew84:
Got an email stating that it is now on back order, with no estimated delivery date. Has this happened to anyone else? I'm almost tempted to cancel and just wait to buy it on launch date. Seems to make the most sense at this point.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] vegabyson:
I haven't gotten anything else from them. Just waiting to see. They said if you order before the 6th you will get it. Hopefully this means they are shipping monday
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] km8j:
3% chance they ship monday
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] malaeus:
Thanks for sharing the info on the shipping, ill have to call them and have my shipping switched to normal ground if its going to arrive same-day anyways.

i spend enough money on t-mobile as - is lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Daniel323la:
They are going to switch everyone to ground shipping. According to tmobile.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] km8j:
What do you mean
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Daniel323la:
I mean that I ALSO selected overnight shipping, but was switched to ground shipping because an agent told me that it didn't matter since they would ALL arrive on 4/11.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] km8j:
this is pretty crazy... this should occur more like car sales, when dealers have cars, they sell them. tmobile is exerting SO MUCH effort in order to reverse lookup addresses and delivery speed just to determine when to ship the devices. JUST SHIP THEM.

i get there are street dates for these things and what not but the whole system is archaic.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Charlie Brown:
To reiterate what someone else posted. ... I also inquired about my pre-order and why in my account it is listed as backordered. And the t-mobile rep. told me that's just the way it is described and that the April 11th delivery guarantee is 100% valid.

So.... yeah.....

Giggidy
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] vegabyson:
A lot of people order numbers are showing April 10th delivery. Check your order number
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] stevew84:
I got a ship notification, 4/7 ship date. I paid for expedited which should put me at thursday-friday. but delivery still shows the 14th.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] km8j:
whoa - i think you are the first person with a ship notification. you have tracking? when did the notification come in?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] stevew84:
Yea, the tracking is there but it isn't working on the UPS site right now. I'm sure tomorrow morning I'll get the "shipping label has been created" or whatever. But for sure, the tracking number showed up when i saw the ship date.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] stevew84:
Check it out...I was also just charged the amount of the upgrade.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] km8j:
I hate you
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] stevew84:
haha, well if mine is already shipping, I assume others will be today/tomorrow. Check your account see if the total hit there yet, just did one mine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] km8j:
Only thing I would be billed is the tax and I don't see it being charged :(

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] stevew84:
April 3rd. I posted a screen shot.

Lol missed the screenshot sorry. So weird yours went out so early considering you comparatively ordered late
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] stevew84:
Best thing is that I have a 4/10 delivery date!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] km8j:
what method does UPS say it was sent when you track it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] stevew84:
Express, I paid for the 3-5 day but doesn't matter now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] vegabyson:
I have 4-10 delivery and I haven't been charged yet so I guess it doesn't matter
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] M9x3mos:
Yeah mine is still showing 4/11 and stuck in backorder.

Will need to ship it soon if they are going to meet those dates they promised everyone.

Either that or they are going to refunding a lot of shipping charges if not the full orders themselves.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] mocsab:
My Order shows a tracking number and says shipped today - no other information avaiablle yet - means it is being processed or they havn't physically got the package. Chances are they will have it by tomorrow and I should see an arrival date by then...

you didnt get an email?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Master Ramy:
Great news, I've been reading this thread and waiting on developments, my order status page showed order placed only, but I called them and they said its shipped as of tonight! I haven't gotten an email yet but they said that's normal, and they gave me a tracking number which I've confirmed. Doesn't say when it comes in but method is ups 3 day select. The rep said I can get anywhere from tomorrow through Friday, but he can't guarantee any date earlier than Friday, but can guarantee I'll have it by end of day Friday. The order status page hasn't updated yet, but my order was placed at 3 pm on 3/25, so you all might wanna start calling to to check on ur shipping :)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ecksor:
T-Mobile's site is so ridiculously messed up.

Apparently the newer version (the one that runs on Red Hat/Apache/Adobe CQ5) provides more information than the old one (IIS/ASP).

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] stevew84:
They're routing mine to my house in California, because that's what's on the account. I'm currently in Missouri but according to TMO, they can ONLY send to the address on the account. I've contacted UPS and they told me I have to go through the shipper to change...so its a catch 22 big time.
