[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reechings:
Yeah I have had an s2, galaxy nexus and s3 before this and have noticed some screen uniformity issues before. Never had seen the distinctive thin lines like I see on the two s5's I have examined. I was hoping to have just got a lemon but now that I have seen another new one that actually looked a little worse it has actually eased my mind a bit even though my OCD wants everything perfect.

Tapped It!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
Know the feeling. It freaks me out every time I use Tapatalk.

They also show up when you use a paint app and fill the screen with +-80% brightness with the screen brightness below 30%

However, they disappear when you turn the brightness of the screen up, (and compensate the black to 80% again) so it's just a bit of an error in the led calibration.

The area below the notification bar also has it when you run the colour tests after dialing *#0*#.

It's more predominantly visible on the S5 and Note 3 because those screens have the highest contrast ratio.

I'm horribly OCD over my devices too. There's a 0.5mm distance-to-screen difference between the edges of my screen protector... It bothers me every single day! >.<
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reechings:
Funny you should say that I just got one of those tempered glass screen protectors and was amazed that I got it on without any dust or air bubbles. Unfortunately it is also off a fraction to one side and also doesn't quite line up perfectly around the home key. I am so tempted to try to fix it every day but I know I should just leave it alone. ?

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Confidential:
there's this site that sends packages to my country from amazon by having amazon ship to their warehouses in the U.S and from there ship it to my country.

and apparently it can send me a contract phone from Sprint.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00G9FVM0C/ref=twister_dp_update?ie=UTF8

i was wondering if i can unlock it while it's still on contract, without help from Sprint, because obviously, i'm not in the U.S and not a Sprint customer.

if this is possible i'm basically getting a phone for 30$... this whole thing seems weird to me, but i can't see the flaws if it can be unlocked.

and how come it's even possible for this site to send me a contract phone? do they take the contract on themselves?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] yodasmaster:
That seems very dodgy and possibly illegal, i would suggest you cancel that order and take a contract out in your country, and pay the monthly fees just like everyone else. Or buy a phone outright. By you cheating the system means me and my fellow law abiders have to pay more for our contracts.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] nitromuscle:
They require your SSN. You will not get past the security check. What Amazon is offering is a NEW Sprint Contract. All your details will still need to be verified before anything will ship. If Sprint was to ALLOW you a contract, 1. Not being a Citizen of the US Market and 2. Not having a US SS#, then they aren't very smart.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zman01:
Hello!

My problem is that i cant find 4.4.x rom (e.g. based on cm11) that has full S5 TW experience. So my question is .. How can i add the whole system ui from TW roms to for example CM11. I tried to install the apk-s from wizzedkat rom, but thats based on 4.1.2 and it doesnt work on CM11. I found some CM11 roms for Galaxy S3 with touchwiz, but i didnt tried these apks.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmedelhofy:
It's really hard to port touchwiz to AOSP... You can try using some themes to give you at least a similar interface to what touchwiz offers

[HOW2] UPGRADE W/ ROOT&SAFESTRAP4CUSTOMROMS-1-FILE-DL-NO-BOOTLOADERS-0x0KNOXSUPER-EZ

JUST A HEADS UP I FOUND THIS COOL.....By far the slickest, smoothest, safest, fastest way to upgrade no matter what current system is.

THESE NEW ODIN IMAGES CAN ALSO TAKE THE PLACE OF ANY NO-WIPES OR EMERGENCY ODIN PACKAGES.

in my SAFE UPgrade thread and I've updated the OP to help those that need it with rooting.

they contain Odin 3.10 flashable images of NC2 or NC5 along with all the apps you'll need to get going with root and safestrap without ever resetting your phone until you reset to Safestrap. By far the slickest and most simple way to upgrade. Upgrading with my method will keep your bootloaders at what they are now. Its also the easiest way to keep your Initial loading screen the official s4 (no broken lock screen when you turn on your phone) and KNOX as always will remain at 0x0. These Odin images also contain .pit and modem/hlos so literally all you need is the 1 file flashed thru odin for all to get going on custom roms. Take a trip download the rar. extract the files from the rar (includes Odin 3.10, SS, root, selinux permissive files, odin image) load the odin ap slot with my odin image and flash. then take those apps and install via apks from your sdcard. super easy anyone can do it in less than 15min.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] hehsusss:
Hi,

This is my first post in XDA. I'm pretty sure there are similar posts regarding my issue but none of them have solved my problem. My friend gave me his SGS3 T999 (T-Mobile). But the camera won't work, I just get the following message:

I've already tried the following:

1. Flash stock rom

2. Tried other camera apps

3. Tested both front and back cameras with *#0*# USSD code

It may be related but the Accelorometer doesn't work either.

Checked the firmwares:

Rear Camera

Cam FW Ver: GDFD06

Phone FW Ver: GDFI02

Front Camera:

Cam&Phone FW Ver: S5K6A3

I have a hunch, would it be possible to change the camera's firmware verson? That's the only thing I haven't tried so far. I read somewhere that the problem started when they updated the firmware.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
You cant manually update the camera firmware anymore. They blocked this in 4.1.2, so you'd have to go back to 4.1.1, but you probably already have newer cam firmware than you'd get doing that. Did it work when you ran the test?

Might want to consider replacing the camera. Pretty cheap part online.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] hehsusss:
I don't think it's a hardware issue. I tested both the front and back camera but both of them just get the same error message.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Look in /system/cameradata for a file that has your cam firmware in the name. If its not there, that's probably the cause. If it is there, im not sure...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] hehsusss:
I've tried experimenting with the files in cameradata and found in some threads that dropping a ZH.bin file might fix the issue. but it hasn't after doing so.

When I tried removing the GD.bin file though, it stops crashing the camera but there's still no picture from the lens.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Only other thing I can think to try is to flash the full stock firmware via Odin, then factory reset and test. (This will wipe internal sd fyi)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] hehsusss:
I'm thinking of replacing the front and back cameras.

I was only able to find parts for shv-e210s/k (korean model), would it be okay to use these parts for the T999?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Probably, as long as they're for the S3. Did you check http://etradesupply.com ? They ship from both hong kong and the US and im quite certain they have the exact parts you'll need.

---------- Post added at 01:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:39 PM ----------

They're pretty cheap too, so even if it doesn't fix it, you shouldn't be out much money.

I dont recall if it was mentioned, and I don't have a clue if it'd work or not, but you could try flashing a 4.1.1 rom, then use the dialer codes to get to the cam firmware menu, and choose phone to cam f/w write. Its the last thing I could think to try....
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] hehsusss:
Just to give you an update on what has happened so far..

I replaced my faulty front-facing camera, figured it was since the proximity sensor wasn't working.

So right now I am 100% sure that the front-facing camera is working but I still get the same Camera Failed error after testing it through the *#0*# menu. RIght now I'm downloading the 4.1.1 firmware and hoping that this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2625461 will help me downgrade.

After that, fingers crossed that using the phone/cam fw write will work.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Id be very, very, very cautious about doing that. If any part of it doesn't work quite right you'll hard brick for sure.

If it were me, I'd try just the 4.1.1 rom first and only do that process as a last resort. I am curious if it would actually work, but I dont want to see anyone brick to try figuring it out!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] hehsusss:
Good news is, the downgrade worked.

But the Phone to CAM FW Write is still grayed out and camera isn't working.

After everything I did, I think it's safe to assume that it's the motherboard. :(
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Well its cool to see that that actually worked for downgrading! Ill have to look into it a bit more I suppose. Sorry to hear it didn't help though. If you want to look into it, you can find motherboards for sale on ebay most of the time. Just watch out for blacklisted ones.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Lurker0:
For me it was the Owner Name, and I failed to find an official way to change it. I've found it in the registry under HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\Settings, string LocalName.

The bad thing that it is changed every time when the Owner Name is changed. So I've put it into my script with registry values that don't survive reboots (ClearType for landscape, PIE cache size so far).

Did I overlook the official way, or should the above go to wiki registry hacks?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] chymmylt:
If I understand you (and remember correctly) your phone will report it's what ever you have set as the device name over bluetooth. To change that Go Settings -> System -> About -> Device ID

There you can change the Device Name. That's all I've ever done and whatever I put in there, when I'm searching via bluetooth is what shows up
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Lurker0:
I have a Russian version, but if I understand you correctly, Settings -> System -> About -> Device ID has two fields: device name (default is "WM_Administrat1") and a description. The device name appears e.g. in the ActiveSync window. I don't know where the Description is visible. Neither of them is shown as the device name on other devices via bluetooth (e.g. in Bluetooth Neighborhood in Widcomm drivers on PC).

Or, is there a setting that was lost during translation to Russian? Could you please post a screen shot of that setting?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] darky:
I think it's tied to the owner name, if you want it to show something else you need to change a registry or use a 3'rd party program. Do a search here you will find both, there is a new bluetooth program that was posted here yesterday haven't tried it yet you can check it out.

Hi,

I used C-ROM fr a while and everything was fine.

I m on 7.1 version

Since a few days, I couldn't detect my wifi network.

So I decided to flash another ROM to test, here are the results :

- C ROM 7.1 - 23rd june => not detected

- PARANOID 4.4 RC2 - 17th june => detected

- PARANOID 4.4 - 25th june => not detected

- Omni 4.4.4 - 20th june => detected

- AOSB - 29th june => not detected

My wifi is on automatic channel (so I think my box chooses the 11th)

my key encryption is WPA

Does someone know if a part of code common to this roms changed after the 20th june ?

Nobody had the same problem ?

Ive formatted the card and still had the problems. it seemed to choose when it threw these msgs at me. So i didnt use my sd card for awhile and it has just stopped giving me the error msgs now.

Btw - its a samsung 8gb class 2 sd card that came with the device from new. Ive heard that there are some problems with samsung sd cards. can anyone confirm? Im about to buy a 16gb kingston card.

The problem i wanted to ask about is that ive just checked my settings>more>storage and at the bottom there is a greyed out section that says "Mount SD card"

"Insert SD card"

so its like its not even recognising there is a card inserted. Im sure that i used to get a few more sections - even if they are greyed out when a card is inserted.

Ive removed the card and gave the device a reboot but still the same.
