[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JT-KGY:
My Samsung Galaxy S3 suddenly died and refused to turn back on.

No flash screen

No LED

No Vibrate

No Recovery mode

I tried all the 3 key combinations...

I have one of those download mode jig on the way, not sure if it will work...

Battery had ~45% when it died

Tried a different battery, no luck

Tried removing battery, hit power button, waited, put back battery, no luck

Phone was never rooted or running any custom ROM.

My question is... I've heard of samsung or phone technician changing out mainboard to save the phone...

Will I lose my data if I have that done?

If I use the jig to enter "download mode", could I recover my data that was on the phone?

The phone is old and due for a replacement... Not all that interested in saving the phone but

I really want to recover the data that's on the phone.

BTW...I have a 32G S3....so this is not a SDS, I think.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!!!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
If might not be caused by the emmc chip bug, but the symptoms sound very similar.

If the usb jig enables download mode then flashing the exact same firmware again might enable your data to be recovered -but this is unlikely to be realistic.

I have tried to download 4 different themes and they stop downloading around 3% , the farthest I have gotten with a download is 20%, and it has been at that for more than a half hour. I have plenty of room for the download. Please help . I am using a Samsung Galaxy S 2.

Hi,

Please try switching to mobile data (not WiFi) and see if that resolves the problem. If not, let us know :)

hey,one day my phone was going crazyand laggy.no sensors were working.So i decided to restore from Cwm backup i made earlier.After that my phone shows unknown baseband and imei and same sensor problem and also getting random reboots.

i have tried flashing factory images,deleting persist/sensors/sns file,but still facing the problems.

also in fastboot it shows me the baseband version but it is only in about phone where it says baseband unknown.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
You flashed the full Google factory image (flash-all.batt) in fastboot and your issue still not solved? Do you see a Imei number when you type in dialpad *#06# and a Macadress in about the phone? Have you backed-up your EFS folder? Start with flashing the cache.img in fastboot (fastboot flash cache cache.img), that helps sometimes.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akshitgupta95:
already done

yes i flashed full factory image several times.

no idon't see imei in dialpad.

yes i see a wifi mac adress.

No i have not backed up efs. but i dont think efs is the problem as it says unknown baseband.

yes i have also flashed cashe.img in fastboot.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Can you still make calls?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akshitgupta95:
no i am unable to make calls.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Well, imo the EFS file is corrupted, you will need a new motherboard to fix the issue i`am afraid. Sorry mate, hope i`am wrong and maybe someone else has a different opinion that can help you :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tangosierra_:
these are the exact symptoms of a corrupt EFS, and because you don't have a backup your phone is screwed and you will need a new motherboard. always backup EFS the moment you get your phone... That's what everybody says.

If I were you in this situation I'd salvage as many sellable parts of the phone (screen, battery etc), and use the money to buy a completely new phone. Otherwise I will just send it in for replacement
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akshitgupta95:
don't think efs messed up

I don't think that the efs is messed up.I only did a restore from backup.moreover I had never flashed any custom ROM on the device.I was running stock ROM with xposed and restored stock ROM.Also,the day this thing happened,I flashed factory image several times and was unable to fix the problem.However,the next day it became fine automatically and was showing baseband and imei.Then I just power off the phone.When I turned it on,I was again not able to see imei.Since then I have been unable to get imei back.

Sky by Mobile - Is it possible on Windows Mobile?

By Gears. Published on 10 Jul 2006.

Some of you may be aware of a new service launched by Sky TV recently. If you're lucky enough to have one of their whizzy PVR's then you'll already be used to the live pause and recording to hard disk. However, recently they announced their Sky by Mobile service which allows you to get the latest news and videos from Sky plus you can now remotely set programmes to record onto your Sky+ box. Good eh?

Only one problem though. You need one of these handsets to run the software, and Windows Mobile isn't on there. I'd really like to use this service - I'm always forgetting to set my Sky+ box or I'm away from the house and I can't physically touch the remote. Last night I found this interesting digitalspy.co.uk thread and downloaded this JAR file and plonked it onto my Orange SPV C600. I opened it up in file explorer and ran it in the Java MIDlet Manager. It does actually work, I can load it up and enter my sky.com credentials, however it stops after that - I presume because it can't access the net. I can't seem to get around this and I've tried everything like opening a GPRS connection manually and tweaking with the security settings.

Has anyone else tried this successfully ? I'm trying the JAR file for the Nokia 6230 in this example but Sky hide the links so I've not found any other JAR files to test.

http://mobile.sky.com/SBM/series40/sky_S40_LR_SF_6230/SkyMobile_S40_LR_SF_6230.jar

It installs in the midlet manager, and runs, but does not connect or go any further.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] kevoefc:
ive tried the link in a few different browsers, pie, mnimo and the java based opera but no look, just says not compatible with your device, i guess we will have to wait untill the sky.com web based service is available and use the text service in the mean time

:( got excited when the letter came through the post, its been in the pipeline for about a year or so now

edit: looked at the website http://www.wecomm.com/ who i think are the company that provide the software for the service and they do have other products that work on WM phones, so maybe soon it will be on our wizards!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] kevoefc:
anyone know whether we are going to get this?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] paulrockliffe:
On a similar subject, does anyone have the software program that you need to view your sky channels via broadband? I've just registered for it, but they email the URL to the original email address that was given to them by the account holder, but my Dad never gave them one so I'm struggling to get the software!

Cheers.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] kevoefc:
I think everyone has given up on this but ive managed to get a collection of installers for various phones, using the user agent tags in firefox.

not managed to get any of them to work though! but thought they may be useful to other people.

but if anyone is interrested give me a shout, ive got about 13 different installer files, mainly nokia,motorola, SE an i think one might be for blackberry.

Micromax has launched Canvas Unite 2 which runs on 4.4 Kitkat and it's powered by MT6582M chipset. And, there is another handset named Canvas Engage with the same chipset running Android Kitkat as well!! So, maybe some light in the dark for Canvas 2??:p

UPDATE: LG will also seed Android 4.4 Kitkat for G Pro Lite which runs on same chipset (MT6577) as our Canvas 2!!!

This is looking good now!!

IT IS NOT GONNA HAPPEN, NOT OFFICIALLY AT LEAST. V JUST HAVE TO HOPE OUR DEVS CAN DO IT.

Most of the Phone havn't received an 4.3 update as it is said it was the most bugged version of android.

S3 wont get the update officially as Samsung thinks 1GB RAM is not good enough!!!And I'm also hoping that dev's can port 4.4! I'm not getting overly optimistic or ebullient, just posting mere facts and hoping for a light!! 'Expecting seriously' and hoping are two different things!
[Micromax A110] Recognized Noob:
good point. if samsung sees s3 not fit for 4.4 then i wonder how moto devicces r getting 4.4. anyway mmx c2 is a chinese product and they r just concerned about the sales as far as i c. the cheap price and is what makes them popular and they dont have even one guaranteed update. u have to consider urself lucky to get one. anyway, v all r hoping to get 4.4 for our mmxs, me included. :D good night guys.

[G2 Accessories] axlastro:
Hey guys, I'm getting a case for my white G2 D802 international version and I'm going to choose between the cruzerlite bugdroid case and the pure gear slim case. I want maximum protection from a slim case, so I guess those are the best for me. I'm worried that the slimgear will not provide as much protection as the cruzerlite though. Which one of these cases has better screen protection (lip) and which color would you choose - I'd get the white Puregear, but cruzerlite has many options - I'm choosing between the Teal color and maybe the white or clear color, but I'm afraid any white TPU case will get dirty and uncleanable.
[G2 Accessories] PloniAlmoni:
I have the clear cruzerlite bugdroid one, it looks great on my white Sprint LG G2, and provides good protection for a case of its type. (If you really need good drop protection though, you need something like an Otterbox or the equivalent.)
[G2 Accessories] axlastro:
Pics please
[G2 Accessories] PloniAlmoni:
I tried to take some with my point-and-shoot, but my point-and-shoot with its 7.5 megapixel camera with optical image stabilization, got jealous of the LG G2's 13 megapixel OIS camera and died. ;)

Actually, the camera's battery died as I tried to take a picture of the phone with its case face-down, which might have been more instructive as it's hard to see otherwise. It makes a good story though. The fact that the battery wasn't ready and I didn't bother to fix it does say how the LG G2 has replaced my point and shoot for quality photos... :)

Anyway, I'll try to post pictures of it, even though since it's clear it's hard to evaluate from front-on...
[G2 Accessories] mackster248:
I'd love to buy CL cases if the back design wasn't so tacky looking. :/
[G2 Accessories] axlastro:
I don't know. It looks like I might like the Teal more, or maybe white, but white ones tend to get paited by jeans pockets.

P.S. Still waiting for more pics on the clear one. Thanks again!
[G2 Accessories] PloniAlmoni:
Oh come on, you don't like circuitdroid? :-O

---------- Post added at 12:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:24 AM ----------

I'd choose teal or clear. The white one is known to have that problem according to others in this forum.
[G2 Accessories] mackster248:
Yeah, even those. I've owned plenty of CL cases though, basically due to the awesome quality. I just never found their designs of them to be nice. Totally just my feeling though, I know a lot like em and can't blame em, they're great cases.
[G2 Accessories] axlastro:
So any suggestions for a screen protector that plays good with the cruzerlite?
[G2 Accessories] oesjmr:
I have a Cruzerlite case on my Sprint G2 and feel it's a great value for the price. A couple of weeks ago my father-in-law accidentally knocked my phone from my hand while we were standing in a line. The phone fell forcefully about three feet to the concrete sidewalk. Fearing the worst, I picked up the phone and there wasn't a scratch on it!

I have a Zagg InvisibleShield on my phone, but it sometimes bubbles up along the edges with the Cruzerlite case. No big deal as I can press it back into place, but there may be better options out there.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omricn:
Hi guys,

Having an unbelievable issue with wakelocks destroying my battery, but this is a bit different from the usual stuff you hear about, just read on:

I came from an S4, my wife bought a Nexus5 recently and I was already done with my S4, with all of it's bloat and stuff I don't use (only the camera made me stay but eventually I broke..),and on top of that, sice I upgraded my S4 to 4.4.2 it began having battery issues, it would stay awake all the time, making the phone die in ~7 hours.. so after ALLOT of attempts to figure this out, I decided to start fresh, get rid of the S4 and get a nexus5.

To my surprise, as soon as I finished configuring my N5 (unlock, root, bootloader, xposed+gravity box, the usual apps, nothing fancy) it began experiencing the same battery wake lock drain. now, my wife's N5 is absolutely the same as mine, maybe an app here and there are not the same but I'm not running anything unconventional, I have Beautiful widgets, the usual Google stuff, exchange email etc. Google play services is waking up my device every minute, it drops from a fully recharged battery to 90% in an hour and a half. I've had my wife's phone and mine side by side to compare - same os version, same radio etc.same settings in location are active (location reporting and location history), same location accuracy, same google play services vrsion, same settings in google+ and google now, same everything! I disabled location reporting for now to see it this will have any affect, but this is absolutely driving me nus. why do I need to go through this ordeal, when another nexus 5 is experiencing great battery life while everything is enabled, it will sleep all the time if screen is off.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omricn:
To tell you the truth I'm a bit hesitant in trying these kind of solutions, yes maybe they could make a difference, but I am tired of messing around with everything just to get a decent experience. I need to know why do 2 perfectly identical N5's experience such astronomical battery differences. And that means I have no choice but to start comparing the two (my wife's and mine) side by side with a needle.. :mad:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ben36:
You can always just tick them again if ever wanted. And just so you know. I don't get any Google play drain now and everything works fine. All your doing is removing the stupid permissions gms core wants but doesn't actually need

My battery right now. (gonna charge it at 1% lol)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omricn:
Thanks allot for the info, I'll try it if I see my temporary solution isn't working.. Seems that if I turn off "location reporting" the wakelocks go away, now I need to find what's different between my settings and my wife's settings location wise, it's definitely something that "came" with me before I bought the nexus 5, it's some setting I have deep withing google..
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ben36:
There won't be any difference, Google have just f**ked up basically. My missus's phone without being set like those settings absolutely hammers her battery (like yours) , yet mine shows about 6% use over the day.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omricn:
I'ts absolutely driving me nuts.. I've been trying to find out what's the problem for more than a month now, unbelievable.. but I still think it has something to do with something I have connected\set\changed with Google somehow.. with my S4 I've reset, completely wiped, changed roms, and the issue was still there, now moving to another phone, still.. so it has to be something to do with my Google account
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ben36:
Do a backup and wipe all and Start a new Google account to test?

My missus changed absolutely nothing, was literally just one day it decided "hey I'm gonna ass rape your battery from now on" and that was it
