Spigen seems to make great looking cases with serious design flaws, in my opinion. My Spigen Slim Armor View for the Galaxy S4 had a design problem as well: they forgot to leave a little hole for the notification led, a great feature. I had to make one myself but it looked bad, of course.

Anyone who tried the Case-Mate Tough Naked or the Case-Mate Barely There can give is his opinion?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ErikFry:
What way is the fastest and most secure to flash back to the stock samsung 4.1.2 image? Is there anyway I can use fastboot to format my entire phone and then push the stock image to it? I think there is an easy way to skip the flashcounter and ODIN. I am on CM10.2.1 (stable) and after countless ROM flashes and going back between 4.3 and 4.4 I have so many folders and directories and partitions it is crazy. How can I wipe the entire phone so nothing at all is on it and go back to TW 4.1.2.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ErikFry:
A link to a guide would be helpful also. I can't seem to find one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
With what you are asking for, you want Odin. Odin flash this file and it will wipe your phone clean and restore you to stock, unrooted VRBMF1 4.1.2. You will want to root and unlock. Do not take any OTAs when your phone boots up. Follow section 5 of Droidstyle's guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1762709

Just use the tar file I linked below in Odin:

Only flash if it ends in .tar or .tar.md5, here is the VRBMF1 tar:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ErikFry:
Thank you so much man. Trying it tonight.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ErikFry:
It doesn't mention it anywhere. Do I need to worry about triangle away coming from CM10 back to TW4.1?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ThePagel:
Depends if you have any ticks on the counter if you do you should triangle away before you odin. Are you planing on staying on touchwiz or will you be rooting unlocking and flashing a new rom? because if that is the case you could just wipe internal sd in twrp or clockwork mod then flash your desired rom on a nice clean internal sd.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ErikFry:
I plan on flashing cleanrom8.1

If I wipe internal SD in recovery will it fix all extra file paths and partition problems I had before? And does wiping internal SD wipe the recovery?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ThePagel:
It will do a format so as long as the partitions are the correct size it should fix any problems. Recovery will stay just as it was before the wipe. When you go to do the wipe just click on everything but external sd. I cant remember if it says format or wipe but do it a few times before you flash cleanrom and you should be on empty canvas to write your rom to. Just be warned that there is a format data option in twrp I believe (been a long time since I have seen a unmodified version) that will erase everything including external sd so don't use that. Also dont forget to have clean rom on your external before you start!

---------- Post added at 10:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:45 PM ----------

ooooohhhhh I hope you see this! If it only has sd card as a option in the wipe menu that is probably your external sd.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ErikFry:
So make sure I'm just wiping internal SD right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ThePagel:
correct. I am a worry wart and remove my sd before I wipe. not necessary but i cant format it if its not inserted.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ErikFry:
Hopefully you are still awake. I wiped internal memory and did a factory reset for safety (don't worry I removed my SD card haha) And I flashed CleanRom8.1 zip and it said it was successfully flashed. When I rebooted the device I got the "please enter pin or password for this encrypted device" message with an area to type in. This phone has never been encrypted. What do I do? If I wiped internal why would anything other than what I flash be on the phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ThePagel:
Never heard of that happening. Is it before it starts to boot?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ErikFry:
SlimSnoop I'm wondering if you have any suggestions for my most recent conundrum. Thank you for your help!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ErikFry:
I wiped Internal memory, wiped data&cache, reboot....bootscreen.....la la la la...."Enter PIN or Password" screen appears. For a brief moment my statusbar is shown. The phone appears to be in airplane mode. It does not show the proper time either.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ThePagel:
I did a quick Google and it looks like for some reason or another that rom installed encrypted. A factory reset should fix your problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ErikFry:
Did not work, still there. But Im trying kitkat again. Quantum seems very stable. The wiping internal drive helped with my other issues though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
I have seen this issue before but mostly that encyption popup is displayed in TWRP. I don't recall seeing any one method that ultimately worked for people. If you search for "encrypt" in this Q/A forum, there are 7 pages of results with a lot of inconclusive results or workarounds. I've skimmed the first 3 pages and haven't seen anything that stands out but I've seen similar issue reported by a few others.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ErikFry:
Thank you for looking. You would think with an internal memory wipe, factory reset and system wipe it wouldn't be encrypted. Funny thing is...I've never encrypted it either, maybe touchwiz is not for me. Life is telling me something haha.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ErikFry:
Thank you for your help Pagel!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] EineBeBoP:
Erik, did you have any luck going from 4.3 back to 4.1? I'm getting the firmware upgrade error.

Any thoughts?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
You can not go from VRUCML1 4.3 ota to 4.1.2. Are you attempting to flash via Odin? Cuz there's no going back to pre-4.3 once you're on it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] EineBeBoP:
Crap.

I lost my IMEI at one point, panicked, flashed something that soft bricked me, and over the course of a panicked/sleepless night I guess I flashed the 4.3 OTA.

I'm trying to resurrect this phone for my wife, but it boots up and immediately goes into "Roaming" and stops receiving texts/calls and data after a few minutes.

Any thoughts?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Is Settings/Mobile Networks/Preferred Network Type set to CDMA+LTE/EVDO? Since you're on VRUCML1, have you tried Odin flashing it again to see if it fixes itself automatically from a flesh flash?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ErikFry:
XDA should make having those a requirement to join haha. Those nights are the worst!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] EineBeBoP:
None of the 3 network types work. It keeps prompting me to switch back to global.

I've flashed it several times, but its always the same. is I535VRUCNC1_I535VZWCNC1_HOME.tar the correct one I should be flashing?

WHEN MY FFRENDZ CALL ME IT SAYS UNKNOWN CALLER BUT THAN I DELETE THE CONTACTS NAME AND RE ENTER BUT STILL IT SAYS UNKNOWN CALLER CAN ANY ONE HELP ME
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom General] jeasbe:
Hi Crinale,

wassup?

seems Like ur pals dont want to disclose themselves when they call u up.... :wink:

Just Kidding...

have u faced this problem on Just one particular Contact or a few of em or all??

Check up your Contact name first.

have u assigned a

same Number to Two contacts

?(mebbe one in Sim and One in the phone)

eg

John Paul Smith Tel No, 9100000000

John Smith Tel No. 9100000000

The caller id gets confused so says "UNKNOWN CALLER"

Secondly make sure that a File <vCardRs> is there in your Windows\startup folder.

This is the caller Id file which identifies your contacts.

If this file is NOT there copy this from ur \windows\ folder to your Windows\startup folder.

ALL THE BEST :!:

In case this works Lemme know

In case it doesnt still lemme know

IMPORTANT

In many devices the concerned File Name can also be <callerUID> or similar name

Just look out for an Icon like a V card (contact card)

Thats the file we are after

Oops I forgot !! (editing post)

There are many utilities which disable background apps.

<VcardRS> <callerUID> might have got disabled.

make sure Buddy..these files are required to keep the caller Id running...

BTW In India we have to pay seperate fees for caller Id Facility

Did U pay ??? :wink:

(sorry, just Kidding again)

[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom General] kropotov:
just ask your frend call you. when you receive the call, in received call list, long tap on number and choose "add to contacts"

another solution - install "Adress Book"
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom General] jeasbe:
Kropotov just gave u the remedy

Kropotov just gave u the remedy,

U have to save ur Friends name and Number in your Contacts Book to have the caller id on your Phone Identify the caller....right ??

Re: Kropotov just gave u the remedy

hI

Even i face the same prblem but its only wen some1 gives me a very short miss call i guess atom is not that strong enough to grab the Number in a split second,if any12 has noticed that if u get a call 1st u see "unknown" then the name and number shows up in the Incoming call Box.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom General] jeasbe:
Caller Id Problem

Now this is where U are Dead right !

My XDA 2 (I-mate) has this problem. A missed call lasting less than 1 second does leave an Unknown Caller even though the contact name is there against that Number.

Surprisingly enough, thing is unheard of By almost 100 percent regular Mobile (non Pocket PC) users.

Fortunately, My Wizard does not have this problem, inspite of the fact that I have more than 2900 contacts Now.

But yes U are right about a "unknown caller thing" appearing split second before the name actually comes.

One more thing..By fluke I tried to call myself from My other numbers several times.....everytime the Name would show inspite of so many missed calls.

Normally this happens when u are most unaware of it/ or when the phone is loaded (short on resourses)

Also sometimes in atom (the caller ID exe...) shuts down by some third party utility......

Make sure your resourses are fine when the call comes in.

The caller Id photo (if installed) should be in the Phone and Not in the storage folder

(it speeds up the phone Caller id)

Regards,

Try contact photo sync from play store
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidDeveloperLB:
You mean this:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.michaelflisar.socialcontactphotosync

?

If so, I tried it in the past, and when I did, it only allows to manually sync : you need to go to the contact info screen of WhatsApp, share the image, and choose to who to set it.

Not only that, but on later versions of WhatsApp, even this didn't work.

Plus, this app messed up with my contacts each time I changed a rom and restored it.

If you talk about this app:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rm.android.wcps&hl=en

- then it also doesn't really work. It opens WhatsApp and tells you to open the large screen page of the contact, and that's it. Doesn't do anything with it.

My solution is fully automatic, using root.

The only other app I know about that syncs well is Sync.Me, which syncs with a multiple social networks, but not with WhatsApp (and it has a good reason that it's not included).

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a.cid:
If going custom wasn't really worth it, we wouldn't have had XDA. This places exists for the sole reason that someone somewhere thought that his device could do that extra mile, just with a little tweaking.
