[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fnatique47:
Hey, i have got a real big problem.

I just wanted to Flash my Galaxy s3 with ArchiDroid and did all like he said in his Tutorial

1) Connect your phone to your pc and give it some time for installing drivers. When it's finished reboot your pc. It's important. After reboot check if windows can "detect" your phone, for example by entering "My Computer" section. It should be available as portable device.

2) Download newest ArchiDroid .zip file and put it on your phone, I strongly suggest your internal memory.

3) Disconnect your phone from the pc.

4) Download attached Odin3 Software and unpack it's content on your pc: Attachment 1879375

5) Click with your right mouse button on Odin3 executable and select "Run as administrator"

6) Download latest PhilZ Touch Recovery in .tar.md5 format and put it in the odin's folder or somewhere nearby. DON'T UNPACK IT! File should look like this: philz_touch_4.92.8-i9300.tar.md5

7) Click on the "PDA" button in odin and select your recovery in .tar.md5 format. Also untick "Auto Reboot" option. DO NOT TOUCH ANY OTHER BUTTONS OR CHECKBOXES!

8) Turn off your phone

9) Hold Volume Down + Home + Power buttons to enter Download mode. It should say "Downloading, do not turn off target"

10) Connect your phone to your pc. It should be shown in Odin's message log as f.e. "<ID:0/003> Added!!".

11) Hit "Start" button and be patient. It shouldn't take longer than a few seconds. Your phone won't automatically reboot, wait for progress bar to reach the end and move to the next point.

12) Reboot into recovery by holding combination: Vol-Up + Home + Power. Hold it until you see "Samsung Galaxy S3" logo (about 7 seconds).

13) Click on Wipe Data/Factory Reset => Clean to install a new rom. WARNING! From this point you'll be unable to load your current system as it wipes everything available (your internal/external card will remain untouched). Please make sure that you're ready for this step and that you have right .zip file available.

14) After cleaning hit Install zip => Choose zip from sdcard. Then navigate to your location of archidroid.zip file and open it. Now you'll be able to set various options in AROMA "Setup Wizard", just follow the steps and ArchiDroid should properly flash and reboot your system after installation.

15) First boot takes quite longer than usual, I'd say maximum of 5 minutes.

But after point 14 where it said i have to choose zip from sdcard. And i selected the "ArchiDroid-1.X-STABLE" i downloaded from his Dropbox, because the normal download was like 30kbits it said

that it couldnt be loaded because the zip was bad??

I dont know, right now im stucked with a phone without any Rom in it. I could put another Rom in it, but i cant get into my Harddrive of my phone and i have no external Sdcard...

is there a way to get my phone back at life? i have it 2-3 days now, and i was really angry about the battery life so i choose to put a rom in it...

i hope u guys can help me! Greetings Fnatique
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tallman43:
Flash back to stock with Odin and also get a ext sd card (you should always have a ext card for situations exactly like this) or and don't forget to backup your efs if you haven't already (VERY IMPORTANT). :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fnatique47:
Right now i was googling for a bit, and im downloading original firmware of my Samsung ( stock version ? )

i will put the md5 file into Odin, and start from scratch...

well i havnt backuped my efs but i read some days before (yes i was thinking about flashing even before i had my phone) that its possible to find them out with a program.

if i cant put a custom rom in the next 3 hrs on my phone. i will buy a ext sdcard and try it again after school.

another little question i have got is, wich custom rom could i get instead of ArchiDroid for good performance and Battery life?

i was looking in alot threads but everyone says the same " its the opinion of the user what he personally desires more, you have to check the roms at your own "

i just havnt the intention to download like 50 roms to check them all out for 2 weeks wich one gaves best battery life.

so someone got a idea pls? :) greetubgs

Ok Guys i managed to get rid of my problem, with a external sdcard.

Thanks god, now i have got archidroid on my phone <3

So when I went to restore my apps on Titanium Backup, there is 1 app that would not restore (8sms). So eventually, I gave up and decided to install it from the google play store. Only problem is, every time I try to download it, I get "Unknown error code during application install '-505' "

I am guessing this has to do with Titanium Backup trying to restore it. Any ideas on how to fix this?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Primokorn:
Go to data/app or data/app-lib and delete the folder of 8sms app then return to the play store.

[P3300, MDA Compact III General] daz19:
Hi All,

I have a problem with the wireless connection on my Orbit.

When I try to connect to the internet the first time via my router I am assigned an ip address via DHCP and everything works fine. After I have left the device for a couple of minute and try to connect to the internet I just get the message Locating from the internet explorer and it will not connect to the internet unless I reboot.

I have tried the following to try and resolve.

Assign Static IP Address and DNS Servers

Removed all Encrytion and Mac Address filtering from the router.

I have tried to stream internet radio to see when it drops the connection.

Tried continuously pinging the router deafult gateway.

Disabled powersave options.

I would like the device to always stayed connected so that I can send and recieve Skype calls

Has anyone else experience this problem ?
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] vaggoul:
I have exactly the same problem with you (my device is the HTC P3300) and I have tried everything you mention -apart from the ping and streaming audio - but no effect whatsoever.

I suspect that the problem lies with my wireless modem-router (USRobotics 9108) but I have yet to find something useful for it. Others I have asked have no such problem.

Someone mentioned that in "my network connects to" in the wireless network adapter settings we should check "Work" instead of "The internet". Haven't tried that yet though.

Do you have the same problem with other types of internet connection e.g via usb?
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] daz19:
USB and GRPS work fine! It is just the wireless that has the problem, it seems like the device is loosing it's connection to the router even though it retains an ip address. When you try to ping from the phone to the router you get timeout request.

Even when you release and renew the ip address it still will not work, the only way I have found to make it work is either to reboot or turn the wireless off then back on.

I just wonder if there are any timeout values that shutdown the wireless connection after a certain amount of time?
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] vaggoul:
Some remarks...

I used Media player with streaming audio via wifi and guess what? It didn't stop a couple of minutes later as I expected but kept playing for 15-20 mins. The P3300 was on power supply all the time. Then I quit from Media player and browse the net for a while. After about 5 mins... here we go again. I beleive that IE has some kind of counter that when exceeded (data, time?) it stops connecting. The funny thing is that afterwards neither media player streams nor skype worked.

On the other hand I tried skype on a new session without ever opening IE and guess what? It worked like a charm for about an hour... It never stopped responding. Now what do you make out of this?
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] daz19:
I thought it may be IE causing the problem so I installed Netfront 3.3.

Same problem! I don't think it is the browser causing I have the same problem with Netfront.

When the connection goes I use pocket lan to ping from the phone to the router and do not get a reply.

The fact that we can stream music/video and use skype for long periods of time with out problems leads me to believe that once you initiate a constant outbound session from the phone to the router it is fine but as soon as disconnect this session this is when the problems start.

I think there maybe a registry setting for the wireless card may need changing.

I will check later and post my findings....
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] vaggoul:
Any luck with our problem?
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] JC#79:
Could it be a ram allocation thing to do with IE? As I don't seem to have this problem with the WIFI but I do find that my orbit slows down to an unacceptable rate during IE use or until I use space reclaimer etc.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] vaggoul:
I don't beleive so, because my P3300 is working as it should except that it won't download any pages after a while. If I check RAM afterwards is pretty much acceptable. The machine will not slow down at all it just stops downloading as if the connection is broken (but its not).
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] hb328_dtdd:
make sure under settings/connections you have a a setting called MY ISP, if not then make a new one.

then go to settings/connections/advanced and "select networks", make sure BOTH say using "MY ISP"

then go to settings/wifi and click on network adaptors and make sure it says "my network card connects to the internet

Voila all problems solved !
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] vaggoul:
I certainly don't have "MY ISP" !!!!

How can I add one? the only thing I can see in this screen is "internet" in bold and below "add new modem connection", "add new VPN connection", "Proxy server...". When I choose "add new modem connection" it asks for my modem type (GPRS, irda, bluetooth, COM1) and afterwards "call number" and such...

Which one should I choose for MY ISP?

I think that there used to be a "MY ISP" but I must have erased it...:confused:
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] hb328_dtdd:
go to manage connections/add new
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] vaggoul:
Thx for info, I figured it out...

[P3300, MDA Compact III General] hb328_dtdd:
no problem m8. any other problems give me a shout, I have only had the Orbit for around a week but have sussed most of the problems out including loop resets etc.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] meetmurli:
Even I havent found something like My ISP and tried but could not create one...

After connecting to WIFI when i use i-net, it starts with GPRS... similar to the problem explained above..

[P3300, MDA Compact III General] vaggoul:
When u say settings for the internet do u mean for wifi?
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] souporman:
Yes, I mean for wifi
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] vaggoul:
First of all read the manual. Or try the following. If all fails try to be more specific about your problem.

1. Make sure wireless network is up and running.

2. Press Comm Manager and press wireless icon.

3. Usually it scans automatically for nearby networks

4. If a network is found is announces the network's name and if a connection is desired.

5. You enter password (WEP, WAP, or whatever u have)

6. Connection established.

It is recommended to use in "start>settings>wireless network>power" the slider in "better performance" setting. Leave others as is.

Tip: if u open Internet Explorer before a connection is established (check for the apropriate icon) then it connects automatically with GPRS.

Network/Connection/Communication Manager for my HTC Artemis/XDA Orbit

I've got a problem with my device's connection Manager in Setting/Connection/Connection. I am able to add any connections using ISP, GPRS, bluetooth... but can only use the last one added. I have no facility to manage these connections or switch between these (this is rather strange, I've always been able to manage this on my previous devices).

I am therefore left confused with this. I have tried to download a communication manager, but this one did not work.

Any ideas from anyone?

Google's software engineers have been quoted numerous times saying that these battery cal techniques are crap. All they do is wipe battery usage statistics, which the system uses to calculate the percentages.

Great review. Thanks for posting it.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] unk3:
"Plastic and glass are the materials of the Xperia Z3 Compact. The frame is, unlike the Xperia Z3, not made of metal, but the high build quality reminds us of other family members. Unfortunately, this is also true for the stability, which is not perfect: You can twist some of the corners and there are picture distortions, the same happens when you push down certain spots at the back. Once again, you cannot open the Xperia Z3 Compact, so you cannot replace a faulty battery by yourself."

Built quality also criticized.

Notebookcheck is a great site, their own reviews are very complete and professional and unbiased
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] ap3604:
I was pleasantly surprised by their level of detail in reviews and bookmarked them for the future :)

So many tech sites (engadget, the verge, etc) don't really review... well...

anything

. They simply write an article for page hits as quickly as possible and say things like "the brightness is good" or "the battery life is excellent" thinking that is sufficient for a review :rolleyes:

If anything most tech websites out there are simply "preview" websites (not review) since all really do is reread the spec sheet / keynote points fed to them by the OEMs and disguise it within a fancy written article.

The only websites, besides this one I just stumbled upon, I've seen give actually testing data about the phone beyond just the spec sheet numbers is Anandtech and Ars Technica.

http://twit.tv/show/this-week-in-tech/479

Nilay Patel address just that in the episode of Twit above. He basically says most people just want to know how it's going to affect their life, not the specs and the technical differences. I guess to the masses, he's right, and perhaps it shows with the popularity of his site.

I'm a techy, so I appreciate in-depth reviews at sites like ars, anandtech, and the site linked earlier in this thread.

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] sxtester:
Guess you'd agree that criticism is on a very high level though...

On the GPS performance:

My experience with the Z3C's GPS performance, luckily, is completely different (FW .98 DE). The shots below have just been made, about 15 seconds after turning on GPS (GPS only, no Google services/A-GPS!) and having started the App. Condition: overcast sky, urban area, outside, between buildings, GPS used last time = some 5 days ago. As you can see, it took exactly 3 seconds for the Z3C to get and keep the signal and I always see this behaviour:

But, let's go one by one...

"It is not possible to locate your position indoors and it takes a while outdoors before the smartphone finds enough satellites to locate our position down to 10 meters (~32.8 ft)."

-> Conditions? How many floors above? Anyway, how relevant is using GPS indoors?

-> Outdoors, My Z3C has no problems to nail down accuracy to 3 to 4 meters all the times.

"We test the Xperia Z3 Compact on a bicycle ride and compare it with the professional navigation device Garmin Edge 500. The Xperia Z3 Compact indicates around 400 meters (~1312 ft) less than the professional device, and the location points are also a bit confused at the bridge and let us "fly" above the crossing road. The situation is better in the forest section, but the Garmin Edge 500 is still more accurate."

-> How long was the ride showing on a standard bike tachometer in order to judge the 400 meters difference? Who says that the Garmin is more accurate!

-> How was the Z3C actually mounted, side-by-side with the Edge 500 or anywhere else?

-> Better situation in the woods is very strange.

-> What App has actually been used for recording? There's a huge dependency on the App.

I've tested with MapFactor Navigator and have not seen a single glitch on now 3x 50+km rides.

As I had already written in a different thread, the Z3C GPS performace is easily on par with my Garmin Oregon 450 as well as 600, if not better then the 600 even.

Why the testers of notebookcheck site have seen such bad results is something yet to clarify. Bad unit, older/different FW... ?

Attched is the very first track I recorded with the Z3C, see and judge yourselves.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] rcbmulder:
effort appreciated

thanks for your review. much better getting reviews who actually own the phone as their own and not just a 10 minute quick look. I had the z1 compact and the camera was useless so I went back to my iPhone 4s, which post iOS 8, is now pretty slow and i fancy a change but without compromising on the camera or anything much bigger to hold... size, camera and battery life are probably things I look for in a phone so the z3c seems a logical choice.. still happy with yours?

Hi!

I have some problems while using Heimdall... Well, not me, a friend. The thing is I am doing this long distance and I'm sending instructions to her, or using teamviewer but still I am doing something I've already done in my tablet. No matter what I do, I have the same error over and over again!

I am using the CM tutorial (http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_p3110).

So:

1. I have Heimdall, the recovery img file, and all the other files I need.

2. All the Samsung drivers and phone/tablet software was uninstalled.

3. Used zadig. The driver I installed was "Samsung USB Driver". The tablet was in download mode, and USB debugging was on.

4. When I executed the Heimdall command, I have this error:

"Initialising protocol...

ERROR: Unexpected handshake response! (x3)

Protocol initialisation failed!"

I have been looking everywhere but I can't find a solution for this. I have already done this like 10 times in my own tablet (same model) without problems.

Am I missing something? Maybe there's something wrong with the drivers?

Does anyone know what component(s) would be responsible for this so I know what to replace? The phone works just fine other than that, I figure some chip(s) got shorted?

Also, is this an issue which could resolve itself with more time to dry? Or once the affected parts are gone, that's it? It's only been 24 hours.
