[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gesaugen:
So I have problem:

My S3 just doesn't want to be recognized by PCs I have any more. It also acts strangely that sometimes it just doesn't want to charge and when it completely drains of the battery, this happens: https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/dev...ower-hands-t2354859/post77159482#post77159482

Problem with connecting with PC is that the phone doesn't want to be recognized when in download mode on two PCs and few different USB cables I have. I've installed all the drivers and so on. The problem must be in the phone itself...

My current recovery is TWRP 2.8.0.0 and I would like to update it to latest 3.2.2.0 but TWRP comes only as .img and because of connection problems, I can't use Odin to flash it.

Currently I'm using UltimaROM which has really bad battery life compared to archidroid rom which is THE BEST rom for S3 (if I could only keep it stable). To compare,UltimaROM drains battery in a day on standby while on Archi it lasted amazingly 15 days!!!

So, any idea how to:

1. install latest TWRP

2. stabilize archidroid

3. recommend me best battery life/performance rom
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rp158:
[MENTION=2066882]gesaugen[/MENTION]: try mobileOdin or TWRPmanager
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
You can put the TWRP onto an SD card, boot into TWRP, and flash the newer version.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rp158:
[MENTION=4673498]audit13[/MENTION]: TWRP 2.8.0 cannot flash images, this feature is added in 2.8.4.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
Thanks for the reply. I didn't know that. I've been on an iPhone to too long :o
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gesaugen:
ok, I've tried both and none worked:

TWRP manager can't install .img files and mobileOdin Lite doesn't give me option to select file to flash as is shown on YT videos about it although I've downloaded .apk for my device (i9300)

No luck there :(

also I've experienced strange problem after trying to boot into OS (UltimaROM) - it asked me for SIM pin and after entering it immediately I got the error that the com.android.systemui has crashed.

So by looking at the pattern, it seams like the pone can't hold on to system files after it has been powered off for longer periods of time (I've been keeping it shut down for few days till yesterday). Any idea why is that? Is there some internal battery that is used to power the phones vital functions which can go bad?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rp158:
[MENTION=2066882]gesaugen[/MENTION]: I didn't use MobileOdin nor TWRP-Manager. TWRP-site says, that their app downloads and flashes images (only), but cannot flash them from extSdcard for now.

Closing systemui can be caused by any fatal fault, but mainboard and RAM haven't eternal live either. General test and remedy is flashing a 3part-firmware +PIT-file by Odin. You can enter Downloadmode normally?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gesaugen:
I've flashed Archidroid FW via recovery as I've had it on the phone already. It flashed normally and the phone works fine (for now). I'll test it by letting it drain it's battery to the max and then try to recharge it as that caused problems with OS last time it happened (the Archidroid had to be reinstalled fully because after battery drainage, when it tried to boot, the phone acted like it had factory reset but it couldn't finish configuration of the system so it started to boot loop like it has constant factory reset. That was happening until the OS was re-flashed via recovery)

yes, I can enter the download mode normally but my phone can't be recognized by PC, tested on two PCs...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rp158:
I like to proceed step by step ;) If you want to make a clean base, you'll have to repartition and reflash firmware. Next step is to delete all your Samsung stuff (drivers, KIES...) from your PC. Then reboot and install SamsungDrivers (Win10 does it automatically iirc) and Odin 3.13.1. Boot S3 into Downloadmode and connect to PC (use USB-port of mainboard). Connects?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shivadow:
Mobile odin has to be the full paid version to flash. As far as I can remember it won't flash img files either.

Your other options are to flash a zip version of twrp or repair the USB port.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gesaugen:
problem is that there isn't .zip version of the TWRP for S3
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rp158:
[MENTION=2066882]gesaugen[/MENTION]: not on official site. Use xda-search function.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gesaugen:
nope, cant find TWRP .zip for i9300...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rp158:
[MENTION=2066882]gesaugen[/MENTION]: I found this zip-file for example.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gesaugen:
Many thanks! I've flashed that zip via recovery and then flashed newest .img via that new recovery. Now I have the newest TWRP for S3 :good:

Now it's only the question will the phone continue to act strange after the battery drainage...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rp158:
[MENTION=2066882]gesaugen[/MENTION]: when phone acting strange, continue with #9
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gesaugen:
thnx for advice, I will

I've bought new laptop with fresh windows so I'll try the installation from it...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bejunk:
If you have root, you can use TWRPManager app from playstore. Allready updated 3 times and allways worked. (you need to get the .img file, after downloading, reopen the app to be able to choose the file & flash it.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Saswata Chakraborty:
Does anyone know how to solve screen burn-in issue? I didn't have this issue when I purchased the handset. It started all of a sudden. And now no matter what ROM and what android version I'm on, I always see the shadow of last used app (even if I keep the app open for 2 minutes). I am using Gold varient (64GB) handset.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] kudos1uk:
From other threads there are two screen types and they appear to have moved to a new screen type that is less likely to burn, if you can, get the screen changed under warranty. The new screens are not quite as warm (more white). I have the new screen type and am happy with the colour.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Tim1909:
I dont know if its the same, but i had a similar issue, where recent Apps that i used for some minutes (e.g. Whatsapp) slightly burned a shadow into my home screen.

I solved it by changing the 3 RGB values from 100% to 95% at Settings - Display - LiveDisplay - Color calibration (then restart phone).

[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] Flyers88:
Problem is, not so simple lol ???? I just hope Vivo reads this forum, or plans to modify the system and its restrictions, especially on the Chinese ROM version, which I have unfortunately (using in Canada on Rogers). Don't get me wrong, I love the device, but I wish I could get my own Vivo account like many others.

Does anyone know of any progress unlocking/flashing the Chinese version to get around the internal bloatware? Or has anyone been able to get their own Vivo account?
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] kumarayush2104:
LMAO I am from India I have a vivo cloud account I am using vivo y51l for flashing Chinese firmware you need qfil but remember we tried Chinese firmware in Indian version which causing bootloop but Chinese phone can flash Indian firmware

Even Chinese firmware can be rooted but need some work
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] Flyers88:
Yeah, I know there's been issues when people have tried to flash the Chinese version with the international ROM. I would try it but I don't want to have my phone brick, that would be bad lol.

I contacted Vivo customer support and inquired about the account registration system they have in place for the Chinese ROM and they told me that in sometime in October there would be a change to the registration system and it would be made available on a larger and maybe International scale? I haven't seen or read anything about it since.

I received an email from Vivo's customer support team saying that the global registration system will be done sometime late this year.

Yeah, I know there are issues with direct NEX S (Chinese ROM) model and the various methods used for flashing other Vivo devices. From what I've seen here and other places online, I don't think anyone has been able to do it cleanly on the Chinese ROM model.
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] smisi:
We hit 951 signatures, but i don´t think this petition get us to our goal, vivo is so restricted to security and ****, every time i had a conversation with the vivo support they ignore my wish and don´t listen to, i mentioned, release date of android 9, custom roms, source code and what not and they don´t answered, i mentioned i have problems with the notifications on my china vivo nex s and they mailed back a tutorial how to fix the problem. so i don´t think we get ever custom roms for this beautiful piece of tech at least not from vivo. maybe some skilled smartphone hacker get open the bootloader in the future? the security on this phone is strong. every Electronic device is hackable its a matter of time!
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] Flyers88:
Yeah, they seem to avoid the issue of custom ROMs, and unlocking the bootloader for us.

I also am having a brutal time with the notifications on the Chinese ROM. They come in random as **** and in HUGE BUNCHES. I'll be sitting there and all of the sudden I get like 20 notifications. I've gone through tutorials, I've given all access and permissions, allowed them to show on the display, but nothing works to have them come in real time. Anyone else have this issue?
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] blackinfinity:
yes notifications are unreliable, you cant really trust them...

The problem is if it will ever be solved, consider that all notifciations are disabled by default, so this is how the most of the chinese users have set up their phone, benifit is superior battery life..but yeah I wonder if they put any attention to get it to work.. on the global rom the notifications are more higher priority.

Chinese rom also seem to understand when I put apps in chromecast mode, it shuts them down for instance youtube...
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] Flyers88:
Well the thing is, a YouTube user showed that it's rooted in the permission section of the phone, not even in the allow notifications. So he said that once you give the apps permission, they'll show. And that worked to an extent, but they don't come in real time, they just show up randomly. I've checked the phone through and through, changed all the setting I could find, and it didn't work the way it should. It's as if there is a "pull" or refresh setting that needs to be changed, but I can't find it. They come in randomly, like the setting is activated on the spot.

There's others mentioning lots of stuff in this thread. Wish people would actually list which device in their topics s or a which would make it less confusing. I've got a note 9 on the way and taking a hammer to this thing. There is no development for it at all as only a few of us were dumb enough to buy it. Great hardware but the software is complete crap. I wish you all the best of luck with yours.
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] paatha13:
Actually I had Note 9 for one week but didn’t keep it.

I don’t like Sammy software too many bloatware and gimmick and lacks software feature that Vivo has and also don’t used many feature their having(wireless charging,micro sd ,Wacom digitizer don’t use at all)

And I don’t like fingerprint scanner on the back at all.

If you want absolutely OS freedom OnePlus is the ultimate choice imo.

Oxygen is my best android skin so far and all the potential offer of customization and custom development support

Today gone receive my 6T from yesterday order I made.

Samsung will consider next year and S10 plus will come close to Vivo Nex from design and feature aspect like in display fingerprint sensor and truly bezeless phone.

Also triple camera is another motivation jump to S10 plus.
