[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tricky118:
Hi folks please be gentle with me if I have got this all wrong and posted in the wrong place.

I am based in the UK.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 GT19000.

It has never been modified in anyway and I have performed all updates as notified.

The other day I got a notification that there was a new firmware update.

I did a OTA update which downloaded but failed on install at about 25%.

It recommended I use Samsung Kies with USB connection.

I connected via Kies and Kies reported that a new version was available.

I clicked to download and it appeared to do something but it was still reporting a new version available.

It reported current firmware version as: PDA:MK6 / PHONE:MK1 / CSC:MK4 (VOD)

It reported new firmware version as: PDA:NA5 / PHONE:NB1 / CSC:NB1 (VOD)

My phone says it has Android 4.3 installed.

Can someone briefly explain what this is all about and what the update actually is.

If I do need this update any help as to why it is not installing by OTA or Kies would be helpful.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
Your update appears to be failing to install. In phone settings select factory reset, which will wipe all your data, photos and settings from the internal storage, then try the update again.

If it still fails then follow the guide in general forum on how to flash a firmware with odin, you can download the latest UK Vodafone firmware from sammobile.com.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tricky118:
Solved.....ISH

I called Samsung service centre this morning.

They did a remote control of my laptop and phone.

It appears that I have Android 4.3 on the phone which is the highest that the S3 can handle.

The engineer wasn't sure what the upgrade waiting was but checked to ensure I had the latest firmware for the phone.

The Samsung engineer was really helpful and friendly and worked at my speed not his as most tech guys do.

Thanks for your help. :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krGemini:
I had the same issue, the update being shown in kies is correct. Just verify your phone status by going into settings 》about 》status. If the status of your phone is shown as official then its ok, otherwise reset the binary counter to zero using triangle away and flash the latest version via odin.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tricky118:
Thanks for that.

I checked it and it says official so I will leave all alone.

Many thanks.:good:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ag4751:
There is an update just released for Vodafone uk it is the PDA:NA5 / PHONE:NB1 / CSC:NB1 (VOD) version, most likely it is a server overload problem if a lot of people are trying to update at the same time, give it a few days then run kies again, it will update eventually.

Or you can download the NA5 version from here, download Odin from my signature and install it that way

ICS

S-on

1.93.002

unlocked

Able to flash recovery

It success install but not working when try to enter recovery from bootloader nothing else :crying:

yesterday i install Hboot 1.93.222 successfully install but when i restart it come again 1.93.002

ANY HELP OR SUGGESTION
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
Hboot 193.222 can only be installed on s-off devices. It's the hacked engineering version.
[HTC Amaze 4G] haninatoon:
now iam

hboot 1.93.002

i re-locked the phone

and it successfully install t-mobile ics ph85img.zip from sd card

noting : i can not install ph85img.zip when my phone is unlocked

but i still stuck in htc logo screen

any idea!!!!!!!!!!!!:confused:
[HTC Amaze 4G] pbergonzi:
Lock the phone and try the install. Following instructions where to place it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
You've been around for awhile, so you should know these things. Now you are what, s-off or s-on? It's normal to only be able to flash the image with your phone relocked. Was it a T-Mobile US or another version? Did it have JB or ICS? If it didn't already have ICS and it's an Asian or unbranded phone you need s-off and to get s-off you need to be on the stock RUU. If it's s-on and not a T-Mobile US phone and you installed the T-Mobile RUU, the radio and kernel probably didn't flash or you have a CID mismatch which is keeping it from booting.

Remember the steps to take for Asian or unbranded Amazes, is to first get s-of then SuperCID then flash the T-Mobile RUU. If it wasn't already on ICS you're going to have to go back to GB and start over, so you can get s-off.
[HTC Amaze 4G] haninatoon:
T-Mobile US

ON SCREEN

iam s-on

ICS updated from internet on air from jb to ics even it is s-on location egypt with out any effort and it worked a bout 3 months

hboot now be 1.93.003 cause i install the (OTA_RUBY_ICS_35_S_TMOUS_2.14.531.3-1.43.531.3_release_259660)

framework

now

simply i do the update from software update in phone setting :rolleyes:
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
So it is a T-Mobile US Amaze and you previously had received and installed the OTA which got you to hboot 1.93.003. It worked fine this way for three months until you had the problems. Am I correct?
[HTC Amaze 4G] haninatoon:
yes
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
That's not good. If it had been working well and then all of a sudden from out of nowhere it started behaving badly during a call, and you weren't in the process of doing anything else to it, then that leads me to believe that it's a hardware problem.
[HTC Amaze 4G] haninatoon:
hardware problem. even

1- it install from boot-loader any thing

2-hboot now just now i make it 1.93.003

3-i flash ph85img from fastboot about 14 confirm ok

4-i can lock or re unlock

but at all stuck at logo & also try to downgrade to jb but i can not

That make me sad :(

But thanks at all man

I still have one work so I still amazed
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
Unlock your bootloader if it's locked and put 4ext recovery image inside a zip renaming at as recovery and name the zip as PH85IMG.zip and flash it from bootloader and get into recovery and flash a stock amaze rom and do s-off.. I've seen this problem once the hboot 1.93.003 it's a issue .. S off and flash a RUU and it'll work perfectly again.. :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] haninatoon:
I do that

Unlock your bootloader if it's locked and put 4ext recovery image inside a zip renaming at as recovery and name the zip as PH85IMG.zip and flash it from bootloader

but i can not do that

get into recovery cause stuck at HTC white screen:D
[HTC Amaze 4G] pbergonzi:
but i can not do that

Bootloader comes before HTC white screen. Put PH85IMG.zip on root of sd card. Reboot to bootloader. If your bootloader screen says "Fastboot AC" put the selector on "Bootloader" and press the power button--it will search for, find, flash PH85IMG.zip.

It will tell you when done, at which point you can reboot into recovery and follow raivke14's instructions.

Over at Spotify's community it's clear their latest update 0.7.9 on the Play Store has a new 'feature' (audio ducking) that wasn't tested properly before release, and makes the app unusable for many. I won't bore you with the details of this, but has anyone got a pre-0.7.9 as an APK they backed up so I can sideload it and get things working again?

Than You, i had no success with NOMONE Resolution Changer, impossible to install for me tough Play Store (not allowed in my country) and the multiple apk found on the net was not good, an error 'probleme with parsing installer' something like this.

I found "Resolution Changer Pro" who work very well, the perfect resolution for me is : 970 x 768.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silvake:
Or even easier, use a simple adb debug shell command:

adb shell
wm overscan 0,300,0,400

For this to work, you must have adb installed on your pc/mac and usb-debugging activated on your android device.

The above command will shrink the useful screen area with 300px from top and 400px from bottom.

Feel free to experiment those parameters to find the best fit for your situation.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eric_thefool:
Hi guys! I start to thank you a lot for your suggestions but before making any disaster i should be really grateful if you could give me an help.

I need to resize the screen of my Nexus 7 (2013) in order to fit with the car-dash enclosure where i'm willing to install it.

The enclosure i bought was supposed to fit for the nexus display but regrettably whilst the latter is of abt 15.3cm wide x 9.5 cm "tall" (sorry for my english) the enclosure has a window of 15.3 cm wide but only 8.7 cm tall which would make impossible the access to the softkeys.

In view of the above and considering also that there is no space available to enlarge the window of the enclosure i thought and hoped it would have been easier to resize the screen.

Now the question is: considering that the measures reported are relevant to the device in landscape mode may i kidly ask you the command variables that i have to amend to cut off the 0.8 cm on the bottom side of the screen (again landscape mode).

Thanks a lot in advance for your help!

Hello amazing people,

I am looking for your guide/advice for solving a screen resolution issue.

I am using a 4:3 ratio screen with a LCD driver on Radxa Zero.

the poblem is that the screen looks stretched laterally. I think its due to aspect ratio becuase the lcd is of 4:3 aspect ratio.

can anyone help me how can I change the aspect ratio using adb?

I have worked with size and density but failed to produce any results.

Many thanks to this amazing community.

Cubot X6

Hi, my wife and I have 2 new Cubot X6 octicore mobiles.

We have a couple of issues and wondered if anyone has experienced the same.

Firstly when we take photos it will not generate thumbnails,thus making it impossible to send photos to people, but then again it will do it properly sometimes.

Secondly Facebook is a problem, log in and you go to Facebook no probe, click on anything to either look at photos or leave a message it stops and goes back to a phone screen.

Thirdly gmail keeps crashing, screen message says its stopped responding.

We have asked ChinaPadMall where we bought them from,and their response was to factory reset. So we did it on both phones and its still the same.

We have asked Cubot ( no response ), ChinaPadMall ( factory reset ).

So here we are, third time lucky, has anyone else experienced similar problems?

Thanks for reading.

Boost the Cubot X6

I think the Cubot X6 has two big problems:

1. You have only 1 GB RAM

2. You can only use 1,4 GB internal memory for the apps

The first problem is easy to solve. You can use the Roehsoft RAM Expander to create a swap file. Therefore you can increase the RAM up to 4 GB. It works very well! :good:

The second problem is more difficult. I tried to install Link2SD, but I always get the error message: "Link2SD invalid package". Maybe the Cubot X6 (official Rom 1.0) is not compatible with the current Link2SD version??? I don't know.

Then I look in the following

and tried to modify it.But I failed again. :(

Maybe someone has a better solution to solve the second problem.

Keyboard calibration problems

Hi, is anyone else having problems with the keyboard? I installed the latest 1.0 ROM, hoping it would fix but no it didn't. Problem is it seems the keys are not calibrated properly with what is displayed on the screen. Seem to have to hit the top part of letters out anything on the keyboard for it to register the correct key, example I might hit ? But I will get a . this is really annoying add I spend more time fixing errors than inputting. Couple of questions, is there any way to recalibrate the screen?

Would installing muii room solve the issue - noticed someone on here is using it.

Have also tried swiftkey etc, but doesn't help.
