[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tallman43:
Now you have confused me even more! I thought you said in your previous post that you had connection on 4.3 stock rom if so why are you on 4.1.2 ?. Stock rom 4.3 is efs v2 and stock rom 4.1.2 is efs v1 if you have no connection on 4.3 then this is your problem you still have efs v1 which will not work on 4.3 or any of the newer roms please confirm that you have a signal on 4.3 stock rom.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abubakarsohail:
I don't know why but I get my connectivity on both 4.1.2 and 4.3 as well

If you want proof I can post screenshots

And yes I flashed the modem you gave me but it also didn't work

Screenshots attached
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tallman43:
Ok that's good it means you are on v2 efs which is good..I just needed to confirm that you had v2 efs I thought you might have been on 4.1.2 because of no signal.

I must admit this is a strange one because the asop roms,omni roms etc don't change your baseband which can effect your signal.There is one more option you could try use this patched modem >> http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/general/attention-stock-firmware-i9300xxemg4-t2377731/post43946365 << by JustArchi look at post 15. Flash your rom then boot into it then reboot into recovery and then flash JustArchi modem see if that works.(Even though I don't think that is the problem)

Also your efs make sure you back it up preferably when you are on 4.3 stock rom.

I want to use GPRS/EDGE while connected to ActiveSync, instead of my computers connection.

Is this possible?

My work proxy blocks IM & other sites (web-based e-mail). My preference would be to use some remote control software (Pocket Controller Pro, for instance) to control my Wizard via ActiveSync, and use my computer's keyboard (!!!), but over GPRS/EDGE.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] frazell:
Set your ActiveSync connection as "Work" and your net connection as "Internet" and it should connect to GPRS/EDGE even when you are on ActiveSync. At least it does on my T-Mobile MDA with the stock 2.26 ROM.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Hmoll:
This is not working for me, on my stock T-Mo (US) 2.26 ROM.

I go into ActiveSyn 4.2, File, "This Computer is Connected to" and I select "Work"

When I try to access anything (IE to a page I haven't been to before, start MSN Messenger, etc.) it says I can't access.

As soon as I unplug the USB and refresh/SignIn, GPRS starts up and I'm good to go.

Is there no way to use GPRS while connected to ActiveSync?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Trashman:
In mine if i connect with agile using gprs and then i plug to pc agile stays connected to gprs...but if i start agile when connected to the pc it uses the pc connection...maybe u can try to connect ur im before connecting to the pc...but for pocket explorer i dont know as it dont maintain any kind of persistent connection...

http://www.airscanner.com/downloads/airfix/airfix.html

**EDIT**

i did install it, i connected via edge, then ran the program, then placed it in my cradle and edge stayed connected while activesync sync'd... since i am at work however i was unable to vft if i was able to browse via edge.. but their website does say something about needing to set up static ip's (when referring to wifi) i know thats not possible with edge, but wonder if i can do it with activesync... hmmmmm
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] lafloer:
the way it works for me..

its kind of crude, but works for me.

i connect my wiz via activesync and after its connected use remote display to work with it on the main computer screen.

i use process explorer to kill rapimgr.exe, wcescomm.exe and wcesmgr.exe. the remote display still is connected and takes my input from the main computer. now i can use gprs to go out on the net. in order to re-sync i start activesync on the pc again.

hope this helps,

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Hmoll:
Ummm...... all I can say is WOW!

I was just about to type up a message saying the "Login to Agile then ActiveSync, Agil should retain GPRS" thing did NOT work for me....

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] The Sonos:
My wife's s3 shut itself down a few days ago and now it's stuck in a boot loop. It was on rooted stock 4.1.

It will not fully boot into the system, trying to get into recovery will barely let you see the recovery screen before it cuts off, and getting into download mode will turn off after about 20 sec.

I'd love to be able to savage some things from the device, but I'm lost as to what I could try now.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
Sounds like a faulty/stuck power button. A common thing these days. Open the device and play with the switch a little. Ive seen several people say this fixed it temporarily. Doesn't work for everyone though. If it is the button, the only permanent fix is to replace the part. Only a few bucks online and I dont believe its too difficult to do.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] The Sonos:
Thanks for trying to help. Unfortunately it didn't help me. Took it apart, physical button actuates fine, switch underneath seems to click and return ok. Blew compressed air to be sure nothing's making it stick, button and switch. When I got it back together, except for actually having recovery load up for a few sec (once), it is behaving the same way.

Seeing as I have no soldering experience or equipment and we have already got my wife another device, I may just call it dead.

Thanks again for the help.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
Sorry I cant be of better help for that. If you want to do a quick test though, just so you know for sure....

Take out the battery, then put it back in and wait a few moments. If it turns on by itself, its almost definitely a power switch gone bad.

[General Questions and Answers] Outbreak42:
I have searched extensively about options to place a warranty plan for a used phone, but can't seem to find much. I just bought a LG G2 from Swappa for my wife and although it was at a good price ($260) from a reputable seller, I'd like some type of protection. Although the phone is reported as in "almost mint" conditions, I guess I'll never know how it was treated before.

I usually use SquareTrade for warranties. But so far, I've called them and confirmed that only used items purchased in Ebay are covered by them. This pretty much takes them out the table for Swappa purchases. Had to dig through several layers of pages in their website to find that in writing, even after their customer support claimed it wasn't there to be begin with.

The only other company I've seen offer a warranty without needing a new purchase is GoCare for $69/1-year or $129/2-years. Their terms state: "Regardless of whether your device is new or used, as long as it is 100% functional with no prior problems, issues or damage, you may purchase coverage if available for Your device." They have a good BBB rating and...apparently, they cover rooted phones too. :)

Amex also covers purchases up-to 10K for 1 year after manufacturer warranty for free. Unfortunately, it doesn't cover accidental damage, which is more likely to happen on a mobile than manufacturer defects.

Any suggestions, other options I didn't consider? What are you guys using for used phones purchases?

Some background info: My wife and I are original unlimited-data Verizon customers. We've taken good care of a couple of old Droid Bionics and never had to upgrade until now, when her speaker started crapping out. Mine is still good, rooted with frozen bloat-ware, it's still doing decently. I'm not about to pay $30/month more to Verizon for the cheapest shared-data bracket we fit into. Screw them. ;)

The same files work on my Asus TF701; I know the FAQ states that this could be due to chipset limitations but I just wanted to confirm.

Hi !

I'm developing me first "real" (some minor projects before) app for android. Right now i'm trying to optimize the memory usage, regarding to this I have a question. I hope someone can help me.

I've implemented a foreground service, which also updates some UI-elements via a static reference of the MainActivity.

My question is, what happens if the UI is not visible (i.e. MainActivity is destroyed) ? Are these calls ignored ? Are they using memory ?

Thanks in advance!
[Java for Android App Development] surlac:
You shouldn't keep reference objects with short lifecycle from an object with long lifecycle, unless you carefully manage these references.

To answer your question: UI-elements will be kept in memory till ClassLoader will be destroyed or the references will be nullified.
[Java for Android App Development] bbish937:
Once the activity is destroyed there should be no more running resources, ie. memory usage. If you want to stop other UI-elements such as lingering toasts or dialogs, you can overwrite the onDestroy method to do so.

What if class has static reference to one of Views, will it be nullified by itself once the Activity destroyed or it will be kept in memory?

Hello.

I use qtek 8310 as bluetooh gprs modem from my Pocket PC and from the desktop. Also I use GPRS to check my emails and ICQ directly from Qtek 8310.

1) Even if keyboard is locked (!), RED button breaks the bluetooth link. Small short (!) press breaks the line. I need to redial again after an accident click! This is a bug definitely: the keyboard is locked and the link should not break upon red button. Though it should not break even the keyboard is not locked too...

2) The worst thing... Bluetooth link breaks after any incoming sms, any outcoming or incoming call. I'm not demanding simultaneous GPRS and CALL, as from 3g phone models... But, as a standart de facto (starting from the most old phones with blueetooth and GPRS support, like Ericsson R520 and cheap modern like Motorola L7 SLVR), GPRS has to just suspend during the call, not to break the connection itself or not even break the bluetooth link to client device! This behavior is absolutely unacceptable for such a business-application powerful smartphone as Qtek 8310 for ~~500$.

I cannot even use it from my notebook as Bluetooth-GPRS modem: I often receive SMS and this breaks down my link completely, I need to redial and redial and redial again. Why any cheap phone with bluetooth still CAN keep the connection after any call?

3) This problem is absent when I use GPRS from the smartphone itself. The link keeps after SMS, after call or whatever. This is paradoxal, though good, behavior.

Please, do not ignore my letter. I hope you would fix these bugs, which make your phone totally unusable for business application.

Waiting for you answer,

with hope.

[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikeny:
If I understand you correctly, your Galaxy Tab 8.0 is currently on 4.4.2 - either NE9 or NG1. You tried to use ODIN and flash the MK1 (4.2.2), but it failed.

Firstly, I haven't downgraded modem or the whole firmware myself on my Galaxy Tab 3, but I did it for my Galaxy S4 phone. It requires that you flash it twice. Here is what I would do.

1. Go back to SamMobile, and download the Kitkat firmware that you currently have (NE9 or NG1). Use ODIN to flash it and make sure that ODIN is working. This serves as your safety net; i.e., whenever things go wrong, you know you can at least bring your tablet back to a working state.

2. Now try to downgrade just the modem (not the entire firmware).

Read Post #19 on this page. This is what you need to do for "flashing the modem twice with ODIN".

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-att/general/modem-4-4-2-i337mumufne3-t2815999/page2

To get your own modem.bin file, you need to extract it from the md5 file:

- find the MK1 md5 file you downloaded from SamMobile earlier,

- unzip it, and you will see the modem.bin file

3. Finally, use ODIN to flash the entire firmware (MK1 md5).

Proceed at your own risk.

Good luck.
