[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] S4nDr0:
Hello,

I own a Galaxy S3 International and I haven't updated it in a while. When I got it it was with some Vodafone branded rom (I think it was from Vodafone Ireland) and I just flashed it the first 4.1.2 that came out http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=9222 - I9300 XXELKC

So the phone was working fine with this ROM although I have a problem with 3G - can't use 3G so I think the modem in this rom is not the same as the phone's but I have no idea about this... Now for no particular reason I've started to get some random freezes so I read about this Sudden Death Syndrome and decided that I should update my firmware before it's too late. Thing is I have no idea which ROM to pick? Should I get 4.3 (can you downgrade after you get it?) OR should I just get the latest 4.1.2 version? Also how can I be certain the ROM's modem will be the same as my phone's so that I can use 3G? Because now when I use my mobile internet it can't connect to 3G it just uses the H+ and every now and then it tries to connect via 3G but this results in no internet so it switches back to H+ again. If it will be of any help my kernel version is: 3.0.31-566833 se.infra@SEP-101 #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Nov 30 17:48;33 KST 2012

Thanks in advance for the help

Download the latest version Android 4.3 for Ireland with sammobile.com

.Sudden Death occurs between 150-200 days of purchase device...Perhaps you OFF because you key the ignition faulty - My friend had the problem.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nosediger:
I think you can downgrade at anytime.....

Why not make a nandroid backup, and try it yourself whether the 3g works or not. I guess the modem will be different, but if it is working on your area, why not :D

I live on the furthest country from many ROMs being developed and having no problem with the modem? :)

You should really let us know more about your situation. That post does next to nothing for troubleshooting. We need to know mods, changes, what you've done, etc. Also what you've tried. Tell us everything.

1- I am not rooted and i bypassed the activation when I got the device since I am not living in the US.

2- I am using CDMA network here in my country.

3- whenever i look for an update it never shows anything. (No new Update nor You are running the latest version)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
If you are using it in another country on a different carrier you will have to download it manually and put the update in a spot where you can find and apply it from there using the stock recovery.

I tried to open the stock recovery but it showed me a phone with a red alert in the screen what should i do?

Me too

I am also stuck in 1.12.605.11 on a new M8 I got less than a week ago. I am on Verizon in the US. Checking for updates does the same thing has the OP. It says its checking then stops with no further messages. I am using the Weak Sauce root with S-On. Firewater didn't work when I tried it so makes me wonder if there are other issues with my phone.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Dragbike Racer:
Yours is a different situation, your rooted the OP isn't. You might have better luck starting your own thread on the issue.

(MOD EDIT)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Verdigo:
WeakSauce is a temp root solution meaning I can turn it off and I wont be rooted anymore. I probably should've mentioned that I tried that too. I may be on a different network than the OP but a lot of other people elsewhere are having the problem so it seems to be network independent.

help i have a xda 11i which has Tom tom fitted onto it but it will not find the gps signal. It is a new bluetooth device but how can i test to find out what the problem is ??

I am not too knowledgable in computers so keep explination simple please
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] stuarthurst:
Make sure that you have paired the Bluetooth device with the XDAIIi. That is in connections. Make sure you also have bluetooth enabled too.

Then search on the internet for a program called gpsinfo.exe This will test your device is able to receive GPS signals and allow you to test out the com port that the device is using to receive (normally 5 or 6)

Then you can close down GPSInfo.

Once you have got a sucessful pairing - then launch Tom Tom, go to preferences and find GPS module in there. Select Other Bluetooth device and the com port that you received on.

You should see the blue and yellow circle start rotating once it starts to talk to the device and in time you will see the blue bars on the bottom left start to increase as it finds satellites and locks on.

You will now be able to disable bluetooth (once you are out of TomTom) as Tom Tom enables it and disables it as it runs.

I would also look at v5.21 for Tom Tom as it seems to be the most stable. My earlier ones would just stop working and crash to desktop
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] christopherwoods:
Those are excellent instructions.

When pairing your Bluetooth GPS receiver with your phone, make SURE that you follow the instructions for pairing to the letter, otherwise you may find that it just won't work. If you had instructions which came with the device, get them out and go through each step carefully (the instructions for my Qstarz GPS receiver were complex to say the least, but once it's sorted out it works great).

[Samsung Gear 2] azpatterson3:
Yes. I have a Neo but still is relevent to Gear 2.

The lack of apps and not being able to sideload is irritating right now but I believe when development progresses we will get these things. I refuse to pay a dollar for a calculator app or 2048. I would like to have them on my watch but think they are taking advantage. I just gave samsung 200 dollars for my neo, they should provide more free useful apps.

I agree more useful free apps would be nice, but the calculators and 2048 apps were created by 3rd party developers. I paid the $2... You're welcome to take your time and expertise and create some useful apps and give them away for free!! ;)

[Samsung Gear 2] I-TensE-I:
It's true that 3rd party devs made the apps in their free time and I guess should be getting some money out of them but its really frustrating that Samsung released its watch that is starting to get popular with pretty much no apps available. And now when they realized their mistake they decided to launch the app challenge. The users are growing in numbers and the app store isn't keeping up. And paying $2 for a simple calculator app is pretty unheard of. Devs think since there are no apps they can scale the prices and I guess it does make sense but the fact remains that Samsung did a pretty dumb move here by not giving us any apps at launch cuz of their port to Tizen
[Samsung Gear 2] azpatterson3:
My issue is is moot. One of our own XDA developers made a free calc app and had it approved by Samsung and is in the Samsung apps. Please feel free to buy smeiff a beer if you like and use his app.

[Samsung Gear 2] BlackZenith:
Brace yourself because you are going to see more apps cost money than be free due to the lack of screen real estate needed for effective advertising.
[Samsung Gear 2] azpatterson3:
Interesting point. Don't think it will be much of an issue for me anyway as I've noticed the more apps I load, the less battery I have (some apps make a big difference in battery life).

[Motorola Atrix 2] Super_Commando:
I'm getting echo problem in 4.4 roms (cm11, slim kat) with and without jbx. The person on other side hears his/her own echo , it's fine on mine side. & this is not occasional, it is heard during all calls whenever i'm on 4.4 rom. Tried installing multiple times, on fresh slot but to no avail.

There is no such problem in ics or jb roms. Please help..

At&t atrix2 using in India
[Motorola Atrix 2] رامز:
I've never faced that problem in 4.4...anyway if this issue occurs to you I think it's better to stick with other 4.3 and 4.2 ROM's there are a lot of them in Development section also there is no such huge improvements from 4.3 to 4.4 which makes you insist on getting the latest builds with that serious problem.

Note: Don't use the in-call volume adjustment app as someone reported the same echo issue, Just clean the partition (clear data, cache and dalvik cache) and install the 4.4 ROM again and make a call normally without any other modification "No jbx, No volume adjust app" and see the result.

EDIT: Solution is to Use the in-call volume app and change the value to 35 as reported by [MENTION=4899078]dmroeder[/MENTION]

Good luck.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Super_Commando:
I'm more inclined towards 4.4 roms mainly because of hugely improved battery life compared to earlier kexec roms.

I'm not using the call volume adjustment app. I've tried installing on a freshly created system but the results have been same.
[Motorola Atrix 2] رامز:
Hi,

just found a solution for your bug :D HERE try it :good: I hope it works
[Motorola Atrix 2] Super_Commando:
It didn't work for me..:banghead:
[Motorola Atrix 2] dmroeder:
Your problem is nothing you have done wrong, it's a common bug in most ROM's since 4.2.2. I ran a couple of 4.2.2 ROM's that didn't have this problem but all 4.3 and 4.4 ROM's have it.

I think there is confusion on two different issues here. The caller on the other end of your phone hearing an echo is a result of the in-call volume being maxed out and not adjustable. I think what happens is when it is maxed out, it's so loud that the mic picks it up and they hear it again on their end. The app allows you to adjust the volume again. Have you tried using it? I set mine at 35. You will see that the first time you run it, it is at 50. I think the latest version allows the volume buttons to adjust the volume.

رامز, Are you able to adjust your volume during the call? Are you certain you are talking about the same issue? I got the impression that this "robo voice" issue was heard by the A2 user, not the caller.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Super_Commando:
Downloaded the app and changed call vol to 35. Let's see. Fingers crossed..
[Motorola Atrix 2] رامز:
yes, I know that issue was submitted by other users before but really I've never faced it "remember that my A2 is at&t version" and actually I don't need to adjust the in-call volume as I mostly talk in open areas so I always leave it to max.

BTW:I'll try it again tonight and tell you the result ;)
[Motorola Atrix 2] Super_Commando:
Great..! It works like charm.!

Thanks again for helping me out..:):D
[Motorola Atrix 2] dmroeder:
That is very strange. I also have an AT&T Atrix 2 and I have the "call volume" issue. You should ask the caller if they hear themselves echo. Most people that I talk to don't mention it, my mom however is not one of those people! I do notice though that the speaker is very loud when this issue is present.

And when I say maxed out, the caller comes across much louder than say with the stock ROM set at max. It's almost like our phones go to 11 [/spinal tap]
[Motorola Atrix 2] رامز:
I've just finished a call with my friend and I asked him about my voice, He did mention small echo effect but it's hardly noticed "that's what he said". I forget to mention that I've disabled the "Noise Suppression" option in the dialer settings so maybe this has reduced the problem echo effect..not sure:confused:
[Motorola Atrix 2] Super_Commando:
You should have asked whether he heard his own voice echoing.. And yes, most callers don't mention about this problem even it is always present , or maybe the echo effect is higher sometimes(???)

I've also tried disabling noise suppression, but it didn't help.
[Motorola Atrix 2] رامز:
regarding to your comment I had to test it again but this time I called my brother and told him to record the call, so I can confirm that the call is 100% normal and even my voice echo is barely noticed and no other echo is present at all " I can even upload the record here". it's really strange that echo issue happens to some people and others just switch to 2G (like mine) and problem get solved!
[Motorola Atrix 2] Super_Commando:
I'm not questioning your authenticity. Maybe it's just because of different make of our handsets..! (As in case of clock speeds 1ghz/1.2 ghz)
[Motorola Atrix 2] رامز:
No problem :) but that's really weird how some A2 has this issue and others hasn't :confused: maybe as you said it's a hardware related.....BTW my A2 is 1.2Ghz
[Motorola Atrix 2] Super_Commando:
Mine is 1ghz, at&t:)
[Motorola Atrix 2] رامز:
Now we find a difference :D .........but I don't think actually it's related to CPU speed.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Super_Commando:
No, cpu speed is one thing that we can see. There might be other differences as well.:)

I have a NSX-46GT1 & have had no issues with it at all. About a week or so ago I started having connection problems with the Netflix app. Now, I've done the usual cleaning cash/killed process/even reset the whole TV. My other apps like YouTube & Chrome work fine. Now here's the interesting part; if I change router ports or switch to WiFi it will connect fine. It will only have issues as long as I don't close the app out or keep it idle for too long.

I have exhausted all possibilities from the router by opening it up as much as I can (disable firewall etc.) Even tried changing the DNS ip's bit still come across the same issue. The TV is not rooted & I cannot find a working Netflix apk atm, any ideas guys?

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] hanmin:
Hmm.. guess it is not a app question for a seemingly HTC based forum.

Anyway, I was just wondering, are you sure that there is an EXT ROM? Ext rom for HTC devices are designed such that HTC is able to OEM the phone to multiple vendors (i-mate, O2, t mobile, etc), of which they each only require to change the Ext ROM. As (I think) Asus would probably be keeping this phone themselves, I don't think they have any sort of Ext Rom?

Anyway, to check if it has an Ext ROM, (presuming it runs WM5), after you've perform a hard reset, and boots up, after the security configuration, does it said anything like HTC devices, where you get a pop up dialog(window) box saying something like the software will be install in 3 seconds and start installing? If there is, probably there is an ext rom.
