I have a few issues with my S3, help please. - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As of Jul 19 2012 using Mac OS X 10.7.4:
1) Android File Transfer 1.0 (1.0.37.1389) does not see my S3 (GT-I9300 w/ ICS 4.0.4) when connected via USB using the original Samsung USB to MicroUSB cable or another cable: tried both Media Device MTP and Camera PTP modes on the phone.
Some reported the same problem on these forums. Putting the S3 in PTP mode solved it for some but it didn't for me. Anyone knows what to do please?
2) This forced me to install Kies which I know most of you dislike.
Kies will only see the S3 when connected in MTP mode.
I added pictures and music to the Kies Library and then Synced it with the S3.
I am now looking through my files on the phone itself and finding that Kies put the music ...not in /Phone/Music but in /Phone/media. And it put the pictures not under /Phone/Pictures but under the camera roll: Phone/DCIM/Camera.
Am I missing something, why is it so messy?
Cannot even specify which folder to sync stuff on the phone from Kies.
Don't want to go third-party. I want the phone and the Samsung tools to work.
3) Last, does anyone know how to take a screenshot of the lock screen?
Power + Home button doesn't work when the screen is locked.

Try power + vol down to take a screenshot of the lockscreen.

I managed to take a screenshot but the Home button and the Power button must be pressed at the SAME time.
Volume down + Power doesn't work for me.

<key1> + <key2> means that both keys must be pressed at the same time. I have a hard time believing that you never seen this before.
Well, now you know.
1+2) Also, using Kies air (to avoid installing kies on your computer) you could use file browser to put your music/pics exactly where you want it.
3) What firmware are you using? I run stock LFB and I can take screenshots of lockscreen (even when I put my password)

Edit: they should not be pressed and released but rather pressed at the same time and HELD DOWN (for about 2 seconds) until the screenshot has been taken.
It works everywhere, including the lock screen.
Yes, now I know. Thank you.

RF12 said:
The issue is that they must be pressed at the EXACT same time.
No +/- tolerate for either key it seems.
Try 10 times and please le me know how many screenshots you've managed to take.
Edit: they should not be pressed and released but rather pressed at the same time and help until the screenshot has been taken.
Yes, now I know. Thank you.
Now, anyone knows why Google Play Movies keeps coming back after each reboot even if I have it disabled under Settings > Applications Manager?

I went 10 for 10 on screen shots using home + power.
its easier than you are making it.....lol or u just have REALLY bad coordination

I wasn't pressing down and holding them until the screenshot is taken but releasing them thinking the release is what would trigger the shot. It isn't, rather, it is the fact that they are held down for about 2 seconds. Thanks.

Could you solve your syncing problem, as I am facing the same. If yes, pl let me kno

Hi - no I could not.
I have given up on keeping any files on the S3. I use the iPhone 4S for anything like that.
I don't really know how everyone else manages their files (pictures/ videos taken with the phone) transfer and organization on their computer.
As you know the S3 doesn't support mass storage mode. Perhaps they just let them live in the phone and forego using a computer in conjunction with the S3. Which is possible now that the cloud storage, Facebook sharing etc. have become ubiquitous. How about music, dumping everything on a microSD card and putting it into the phone doesn't preserve the album art, neat organization/ grouping of the songs etc.
But I personally don't use any of that online crap so I would have wanted Kies to work as intended. Samsung could not get it right and I cannot believe I am not seeing more complaints about it.

I don't really know how everyone else manages their files (pictures/ videos taken with the phone) transfer and organization on their computer.
Me copy and paste phone to PC .
You wont see many complaints on here about KIES we don't use it on XDA .
Their is a new Android tool that may work for what you want .

I am also finding that the phone does not produce any DTMF tones when using the native SIP client. I am using voip.ms and callcentric.

[Q] TV Out and Cinema Plug In

Hey Everyone. So I've been using my Archos 101 to play movies to my big screen. It works fairly well, but now that I'm starting to get a longer list of movies I'm finding it difficult to scroll up and down to select the movie I'm wanting to watch. I've searched and not seen anyone discuss this, but if I missed it I apologize for the duplication.
So far the best way that I have found to scroll is a short press (2-3 seconds) and then it will allow me to scroll. If you press too long it brings up an options box and if you don't press long enough it selects what ever your pointer was on. Also a lot of times I'll be about half way down my list and it bounces back up to the top. I've tried a double tap and two fingers, but this is the best way I've been able to get it to work. Also want to mention I'm using the ADW launcher.
Secondly, I finally ran into a movie that required the cinema plug in and so I purchased it (not upset about that as some are) and when attempting to install the tablet it says that the file is not intended for my device. I've submitted something to archos regarding it, but I thought I would hit you mad scientists up too. I am on the latest firmware 2.1.4 so I'm not sure if maybe they haven't updated the software to recognize that as a standard device or if something else is causing it to not recognize.
Thanks for listening.
Reserved for Solution.
In regards to the Cinema Plug In issue I've resolved it. On my laptop I have Windows 7 and it renamed the AOS file. So I tried it on my desktop running XP and it worked. However I must mention that when running the EXE file from the desktop it still says that there's an error and the software is not for my device, but when I dismount the tablet it says there is an update and runs the install of the plug in. Verified that the plug in is there and works.

[Q] Disable bugreports from Volume Up / Volume Down?

Hi,
before you chop my head off, please listen
I did a lot of (google and xda) searching and i indeed found some useless discussions in Q&A section a.k.a. "what is that" "can i delete that" yada yada yada... . I know what it is, but i wanna disable it. And in Q&A obviously not that many capable ppl/cooks take a look. Thats the reason why i post here...
As this is not rom-related (happens with(out) sense roms on 2.2 and 2.3), i wonder if it's some default kernel routine, which can be altered. Or maybe just some textual setting in a config file?
As this is kinda annoying, if you use the dhd in a silicon case, where the two buttons are hit very often simultaniously, a solution would be great.
Any ideas?
thx in advance
angelus
what are you talking about? what do you mean happens when pressing vol up + vol down? on my phone nothing happens.

hitting both buttons the same time, it vibrates, takes some time to generate a 2-4mb bugreport on /sdcard/bugreports , vibrates 2 times again when its finished.
meanwhile the dhd is completly laggy and not to be used, which is annoying when you get it out of your pocket just to type a text or answer a call
also happens if screen is off. i am currently on cm7 nightly #36

i didn't checked if it creates a bug report but i never had my phone laggy when i pressed that two. just tested it. it even does not vibrate.
never had it on stock neither on my current leedroid 2.2.2 or any prvious leddroid rom.

Pressing the two buttons (vol +/-) creates a bug report on Mighty Nutella (CM7).. never noticed this though
Disable debugging mode
Still doing bugreports if usb debug is disabled... already tried that.
If you disable it your phone will probably get laggy due to the buggy init process

i don't know of cm7 but in the latest stock and also in several custom roms this has been already fixed for long time.
but on custom roms you may hit a different problem without usb debugging: it can happen that you get bootloops after rebooting without usb debugging on.
unfortunately this is going exactly the q&a direction, where i didnt wanna go. check the links in #3, there is everything mentioned you posted so far.
maybe a developer/cook can take a look at it or has an opinion.
thx.
Would be nice to know if this can be disabled. I have the same problem with the gel case putting pressure on both buttons when I pull it out of my pocket. Even worse is when its got both volume buttons pressed and I press Power to wake the screen. Instant reboot.
I know this is by design, but like the OP, I would also like to know if it can be disabled.
hmm, funny... after some more trys i managed to get the same behaviour
but it doesn't happen allways. in my case it is quite difficult to reproduce it, but possible.
Let me just point the OP to Chef Central for this. Obviously this is a Chef/dev question, and it's likely occurring on multiple devices.
Thread will be moved there.
so thats why it always vibrates by itself!
somebody please find a way to disable this! All those bugreports had 1gb of space used!!! obviously deleted now but before I was wondering why i had such a small amount of space..
Yep i can confirm that as well, CM7 latest nightly, it's annoying because you are listening to music it's a in a phone sock, you go to press a button to turn it up, you press both by accident, **** hits the fan.
I have also just come across this issue when my favourite Huawei u8150 custom rom was updated to Kernel v2.2.2 ported from a Huawei u8180.
I have worked out a quick and dirty fix and so far is works without any issues. Check my post below for full details.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15429103&postcount=242
Somewhere, in your BOOT.IMG, there's an ".rc" file with these rows:
Code:
# bugreport is triggered by the KEY_VOLUMEUP and KEY_VOLUMEDOWN keycodes or triggered by projectmenu
service bugreport /system/bin/dumpstate -d -v -o /sdcard/bugreports/bugreport
user root
disabled
oneshot
keycodes 115 114
I simply deleted the last one and bugreport is not annoying LEANdroid's users anymore!
ps. I also modified the description row in this way:

[Q] Some basic questions from a new S2 user

Hey guys
Ive just upgraded from to the Galaxy s2 (from an HTC desire) and first impressions are that i love it. I have a few q's that i hope some people can help me with:
1. On my home screen, i cant change/move the very bottom line of apps (phone/contacts/messaging/applications). Is there anyway to switch these out with something else (a different app)?
2. HTC has friend stream which is a full page widget showing all your facebook/twitter updates. The s2 has social hub, but is there anyway to show this in a full page widget?
3. Is it possible to assign an option to long press the (soft) back button? The menu button already brings up google search, and quite simply i want long press back to bring up voice search
4. The interal storage (12gb or something like that) current shows as USB storage, which prevents me from moving apps across to it. Any way to rectify this?
5. I have already rooted my phone. Will i still be able to take OTA updates without any problem? (something you couldnt do on a rooted HTC)
6. Any way to stop the default internet browser from opening websites in mobile view? Ive seen a workaround which only lasts the session, but just wondering if theres a permanent one (dont want to use opera as it doesnt have flash working/working well yet).
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help

I'll try my best, here goes..
1. Open the app drawer by pressing the home icon on the dock-->press menu then edit. Now you can drag any icon you wish to the dock then hit menu again and save.
2. I don't think there is a social hub widget (at least I don't) but you can download a third party app/widget that will be similar to friends stream.
4. The internal storage is always under "usb storage" in settings/storage. What are you trying to move?
5. Yes, as long as you don't change your firmware.
Hey
thanks for your help Im just trying to move some apps which ive downloaded across to the sd storage but it keeps telling me im out of memory. Im guessing this is because i havent yet added my own microsd, but thats on the agenda for tomorrow
Your welcome. You got it, once you install an external sd you will be able to move files to and from the internal storage.
I'm using Opera, and the flash seems to work fine for me so far, might be worth trying it (especially since it's free).
does seem to be working now...its been a long time since i last tried it
sorry to hijack the thread but does anyone else notice that when you put apps into a newly created folder (for example I have one called favourite apps) and the icons within that folder have moved around....you know how you by habit press a couple of buttons and bam your in xda well because these moved around I launched dilbert! not that this is critical but just wondered if anyone else notices this behaviour?

[Q] Closing Recently Browsed Apps

Guys, Can I pls get your help for the below issues I have with my Sony Tablet S
I cant seem to "close"recently used apps', even after completely shutting down & disconnecting power. Its like I want to "delete browsing history" on a PC
I cant seem to log-out of Gmail at all as I can't see an option to do so.
The remote control learner does not learn at all, inspite of following all instructions. I have a Pioneer Amp to control music, but I've had no luck. After some research I've found out that the tablet can only learn from some models post 2011. Is this true?
I also have an Onkyo reciever for which I've downloaded the andriod app. This works well, but the app inevitably starts with the wrong orientation - inspite of my best efforts to hold the tab in the correct direction in which the app opened the last time. (It seems to rotate regardless)
I have no other issues such as force close or auto dimming as per my understanding of the most frequent issues on this forum
Thanks for your help guys. I really need it. Cheers
You could use "Advanced Task Killer free ( Or pro )
If you close an app does not mean it really shuts down but it wil stay there in memory,
The Task Killer will terminate all running apps.
Gmail is always running unless you uncheck the auto synchronize with Gmail,
you can find that in Settings / Accounts if that's what you meant.
I have several IR devices and i choose them from the device list no problems at all some actions didn't work well so I had to learn it from my remote control that worked fine to.
Orientation is a known issue but if you have your tablet rooted you could use a rotation app which requires root access something like full rotation i quess can't remember.
Don't mind my English

I have learned my tablet remotes from Dreambox 800HD (digitalbox for cable) and from my Harman Kardon AVR255 EU (reciever) and both are pre 2011. I also got it to work with a tv and digitalbox when I was visiting my father in the US. Can't remember the models though, but no problems with the remote. The tv in US was an old "fat-tv" not the new flat-tv
Honeycomb has no built-in method of killing apps at user request and for a good reason: Android does a better job itself. If Android needs to kill an app, it will do so, so you don't need to do it yourself. As for clearing history and the like, thats a bit trickier, but the stock Browser does include Incognito tabs for private browsing.
Gmail, on the other hand cannot be logged out of unless you go into Settings -> Accounts & Sync and either turn off Gmail sync (which still leaves you signed in, but not updating) or simply delete the Google Account. Gmail's not really made to be signed in or out of regularly.
As for your problems with the IR, thats definitely not the case and whatever your problems are, they're relatively isolated. Can you give us more detail on what you've tried and what happens when you do so?
With your Onkyo app, that almost invariably means that the developer has not included landscape support. If there is no landscape option for an app, it will force rotate to portrait, or vice versa if the app doesn't have portrait support. If you're sure they have, make sure that the Auto-Rotate Screen in your Settings toggles is set to On and if it still doesnt work, email the developer and let them know. Could be an isolated issue.
The question was not how to kill apps the question was how to delete recently opened apps and I have this question too. It seems there is no way.
Where are you finding these recently closed apps? As far as I knew Honeycomb didn't have any equivalent of the pre-3.0 "hold home button" dialog. The multitasking button in the bottom left shows running, paused and killed apps together, so there is no way to differentiate between recently used and closed apps, and recently used but still running apps.
maybe this helps

As Schrammi said, that is a new ICS feature and on Honeycomb, the only way to clear apps from the multitasking panel is to reboot (which will also end the app, obviously)

Galaxy K Zoom tips&tricks thread.

for now there's no dedicated Kzoom forum so this will have to do.
I'd like to start a thread where we can discuss ways we can get the most out of our rootless camera phones.
the discussed tips and tricks are for the Galaxy K Zoom, but some can be usable on other devices too.
[Memory card madness] applies to all kitkat devices with memory cards but no root.
kitkat has severely limited the micro SD access we have on our phones, our phone even blocks all workarounds.
here are some tricks to make it usable:
I recommend using FX file explorer with pro plugin, and Samsung's "my files" app to manage files.
set "my files" to show hidden files, and delete the .nomedia file in /Android/data/ on your memory card
in FX create a new .nomedia file in /Android/data/nextapp.fx/files on your sdcard which you can copy to data folders if you ever find game resources in your gallery app, or app/game sounds among your music.(you need to use "my files" to copy it)
now create a new folder on your sdcard /Android/data/nextapp.fx/SDfiles and create a bookmark/shortcut to this in both file managers, this will be your personal folder which you can use for movies, music, wallpapers, etc.
if there are any images, videos, or music files that don't show up in the media apps you can use the rescan media button on this folder in FX.
in "my files" you should also bookmark /Android/data so you can easily find sdcard folders specific apps have access to.
if you want to sync or edit files with an app you'll need to go through a few steps.
use the apps view in FX to find the internal name of the app that needs access to the file/folder, this is usually something like this: com.developername.appname
use "my files" to locate(or if necessary, create) a folder with that name on your sdcard at /Android/data
now use "my files" to move any files you need to access with the app to that folder, and tell the app to look there for files.(this is not needed if the app uses the media database)
using this method I got dropsync to sync my music to my memorycard, and let gameboid run and save gba games on my memorycard.
edit: a little warning, if you move an app to the sdcard it no longer has access to it's own sdcard data folder anymore.
[tripod? nopod!] applies to all phones(except S4 zoom)
you may have noticed the Kzoom has a very sleek design for a camera phone.
this is nice for a phone, but leaves little space for a tripod mount.
luckily there's a universal solution: smartphone tripod mounts.
several sites, sell carkit-like phone holders that have a tripod mount.
using one of these you can still use a tripod with your Kzoom, although most of these holders will block the flash or part of the screen.
I use the iStabilizer Mount XL.
it's a perfect fit, and it's open at the center so you can still make use of the flash.
[screen on, screen off] applies to all samsung phones
samsung makes a lot of assumptions.
like "if you plug something in, you must want the screen on"
but you shouldn't just assume.
if I plug in my headset i'll use my pebble or headset button to start the music, and I don't want to pull my phone out of my pocket for this.
using tasker I created a set of profiles that let you disable several automatic wakes.
unfortunately I can't prevent the wake, but these profiles will put your phone asleep the moment the screen turns on without your consent.
the profiles include:
Autowake blocker core - the part that does the blocking, don't disable this unless you want to disable the entire Autowake blocker.
Autowake Headset - when enabled, this will prevent your phone from waking up when you plug in a headset. great for when you use a headset with buttons to listen to music a lot.
Autowake Battery full - when enabled, this will prevent the "battery full, unplug to save electricity" notification from waking your phone in the middle of the night.
Autowake power plugin - when enabled, this will prevent your phone from automatically waking up when you plug it into the charger or any other power source.
Autowake power unplug - when enabled, this will prevent your phone from automatically waking up when you pull out the USB cable.
{Download}
open this file with tasker to import it.
[what did you say? hearing aid? i don't need a hearing aid!] applies to certain recent samsung devices
this is an easily missed feature, but the Kzoom can help you test your hearing, and compensate for any hearing loss you're suffering from, just like a hearing aid would.
even if your hearing is considered good, it can still compensate for minor differences between your ears.
this feature can be activated through settings>call>personalize call sound>adapt sound
when you first visit this settings page it will guide you through a thorough "beep" hearing test to determine for each ear which frequencies you can and can't hear, and once done it will use this information to set up a 2nd equalizer that will correct music and phone-call sound for your ears.
this equalizer will be used when listening to music with a headset, and when making a phone-call with and without a headset.
you can use this together with samsung's "soundalive" equalizer, so there's no reason not to use it.
[what others have to say]
Root through Odin, provided by timduru
timduru has a solution for memory card madness that works much better, but requires root.
quickly wake to camera, found by dk206
apprentice teaching the master, he would like to point out some customization options samsung added for the settings screen.
i'd like to add to this that you can also bookmark some frequently used settings, which adds them to a new category at the top of your settings list.
if you have any tips for other Kzoom owners you can post them below and i'll add a link to them here.

Yeah definitely not a good move.
To fix that you need to edit the /etc/permissions/platform.xml file and add external card writing permission to the media_rw group.
That way all apps can write anywhere to it.
or just replace it with this one:

Instant Camera access from Lock state
Hi Guys
Pressing the vol+ up and Camera key together wakes the phone up into camera mode.
This works even with screen lock protection on.
Thanks

Tabbed Settings
Not specific to the K Zoom as it was introduced on the Galaxy S5, but I read a lot of people complaining about the new device settings screen layout. Not a lot of people seem to realise that you can change how the settings screen looks and revert back to the tabbed screen we are so used to with Samsung devices:
On the device settings screen, tap the "3-Dot Menu" button and choose "View By"
.

In my K Zoom it seems to be more of an hit and trial affair. Sometimes it works and other times it won't!
you need to press the camera and volume buttons at the exact same time.
it works best if you press the camera button halfway first, otherwise it's difficult to get the timing right.
updated my 1st post a bit.
the battery full autowake blocking works reliably, so i removed the "untested" warning.
i updated the tripod story a bit, i switched to a much better tripod mount called the "istabilizer mount xl"
a mount made specifically for the k zoom would've been better, but this is the best universal solution i could find.
i updated the root link so it now points to timduru's thread.
and i added a link apprentice's post.
Help
Hi, I rooted my K Zoom recently and couldn't use screen mirroring now. can anyone find a fix for it?
No screen mirroring for rooted Samsung Phones.
screen mirroring can work on rooted devices, but it's very unreliable.
here's a possible workaround:

I haven't tested it yet because my k zoom isn't rooted.
Skype & Torch
Has anyone got skype video working on the Samsung galaxy K zoom?
Also has anyone got a Torch app that works on the Samasung Galaxy K Zoom?
Last! Why isn't there a dedicated Device section for the Galaxy K zoom on the site?
any torch app that has a white-screen mode will work.
flash torch apps can't work because the k zoom has a xenon flash, which can only flash.

What about skype? Has anyone successfully had a video call on skype?
Remote View finder
As in control your k zoom camera with another device. i tried with a note 10.1 running 4.4.2.
Enable remote viewfinder on k zoom camera settings. On the note i went into wifi, and clicked wifi-direct.
K zoom says note 10.1 wants to connect which you allow and then it launches the viewfinder on the note screen. Simple as that.
focus, zoom and flash works. Its quite responsive ie lag is low and i walked 30 feet away and it still held the connection.
Only downside is remote viewfinder on k zoom only works in auto and no other mode
I don't know whether team viewer will get around this or not.
Skype
Thanks for the replies.
Managed to get skype working on the phone (local video) the problem was with receiving the caller's video. It's a bit hit and miss.
Overall a great phone.
Having a problem now with grey bars appearing on photos - presuming it's the Samsung SD card which is 64 GB. Is it generally agreed to stick with a max of 32 GB?
Does anyone have to try "Manual Focus" on K-Zoom?

Hi guys.. So i have got this new phone.. the k zoom... (3G version) its model no. is SM-C111. i have rooted it successfully. now there are some things in this awesome phone which are annoying. like there is no notification led. So can anyone port the BLN MOD for this device so that we can have backlight notification like the galaxy s1. And please make a separate section for galaxy k zoom. please help @timduru @thedicemaster
With the help of fundamental @Albe95 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=5403589 ). I was able to enable the multi-window of GalaxyS5 on Galaxy K Zoom.
In this zip https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/843622/multiwindow%20k%20zoom.zip there are the necessary files, placed in the correct folders. You just have to copy them and give their permission (644).
When you restart in the settings will be released on command to enable the multi-window.
Obviously need the root, the file is not flash from recovery.
In case of damage I take responsibility, pay attention.
