Hello everyone,
I purchased two I9300 (one for me and one for my wife) and we're tired of trying to use Android Beam. For some reason it just doesn't work (It doesn't do anything, no sound, no screen pop-up, nothing...)
Is there any way to test on each phone separately if the beam works or not?
Thanks in advance!
PS: Yes, I've checked it's activated, and yes the phones were restarted once again and yes it's the last firmware (It didn't work with the previous one either).
you also need to turn on wifi direct.
I would be careful using it, I heard the screen can break when bumping the phone together ! Joke

I was wondering, when i first got my samsung phone on froyo the gps didn't work at all much like my prime. I then got gps booster app and it fixed it basically, now i know the prime has issues because of the case but i was wondering if something like gps booster made specifically for the prime would help like my sammy phone? Any thoughts on this guys?
None "specific" to prime but there are many proven affordable - $50 - BT GPS devices that would for sure work
Hmmm okay, will look into those if I need it for a road trip or something. As of now I have not had to use the GPS much so no rush. Still sucks though I bought something that doesn't work like they advertisers. Sigh.

This is a hardware issue. The only way to fix this is to saw out the back metal plate where the gps chip is and put plastic over it.

It's just hidden from quick settings. You can still toggle it with the Power Control widget or by going to Settings --> Location services --> GPS satellites.
Ahh yeah, that gives me some hopes again. This

Hello guys,
After my HTC wildfire S, I bought iCrap and since I got used to use Android, I sold it and bought Galaxy S3 :good: However, I have a big problem During calls people cannot hear my voice. I updated the latest version, but still there is a problem during calls. I dont know how to solve it. I think it s a OS problem and it s going to be OK after JB, but I am not sure. Could anyone help me to overcome this problem I will be really appreciate :fingers-crossed:
flash some different basedbands and see if it helps

Try to set your phone in GSM mode only instead of wcdma and check your connections. Maybe this will help you.

I actually find my S3 to have generally brilliant call quality. I've come from a 4s and it's much louder and clearer than that was.

Your phone should works out of the box. Since you are not rooted. Get Sammy to fix it.
Do factory reset 1st to ensure is not apps related

You should try to deactivate Noise Reduction in call options. I had the same problem and that fix it.

Hi everybody,
The camera flash of my new Samsung S3 haven't worked since the first day I've got my new phone. Factory reset didn't help The phone is in repair now, but I 'm wondering - did anyone have the same problem, or it's only my bad luck.
Thanks!
I don't think that many people have that problem,when I got my crapy arc last year,I didn't have any vibration,had to send it in

Yep, I guess, you're right. I hoped to get some information regarding the repair - how complicated it is, how long it can take...

Yes, I'm sure
Try a flashlight App from the market then you'll know if it's just cam software related.
You're the first one I've heard of who has a broken LED light, so it's not a common issue.
However even with the most rigorous quality control, when building several millions of a device there are a few bound to be broken upon shipping or have loose connections.

Can you give me some more info and I'll try and help.
are you rooted?
unlocked bootloader?
Is there an option to select wifi on and off in settings?
does it display the available wifi access points?
can you take some screenshots to help us see what you see...
Did you drop it? unlikely but the signal amplification module could be damaged. (very unlikely)
That should give us something to work with
I guess its working again... glad I could be of assistance...
First, and most important one, is it wourth buying (I can get one for 300 Euros)?
Edit: Yes it is
Second, I saw that it got rooted, here, but what about a custom recovery? Is anyone working on it?
Edit: Custom recoveries are available
One more question from me. How can you cope with the fact it has no notification led? I'll pass this phone because of this. I would have to unlock the phone just to see if I have a message or a missed call? This is so wrong...

I am used to it because my GT-I5500 doesn't have one.
So, it's ok.

With knock on feature its not a big problem
No LED
the phone should at least have a reminder system on it, beep every 5 seconds or something like that.

It should be natively supported in the ringtone or alert options. all my phones besides the sola and v9 didn't have leds, the rest all beeped at a set time till the message/miss call/calendar alert was opened.
Just saying that it should have that option natively.

An small hint for the noobs (it worked for me...) The code is different for each HW version of the device, so first check your model number (in my case LG-D805) and then the code will be 3845#*""your model number""#

in germany the g2 mini has a notification led in the rear power button
After playing around on the device for a few days, I haven't found a reminder system. Abit disappointing.

I don't know how the D625 but my speakerphone works OK, no problems with it, I'm using D620r.
My wife have problems with hearing and when she is using my G mini, she have no problems with it(normally she is using hearing aid).
Don't know what do you mean by saying directly form SD, I'm using gmail app for sending pictures, and have no problem with it.
