New to this so be gentle
Got galaxy S 3 the other week Everything super cool ehmm apart as the title suggest the LED doesn't and has never worked.
I defo got the settings correct and all that so don't know if it's a hardware problem or software problem.
Had a wee look on Google to see if it was common issue or if there a work a round etc but can't get any info re this hence why I'm posting here .
Any suggestions will be gratefully received
Cheers

What rom are you using, mate? I'm sure stock rom LED works, and almost non-stock ROMs i've tried have LED working.
Just the stock rom mate. Seems to be a bit of a rarity for it not to work as not came across anyone else with same issue. Lucky white heather eh...
Not a deal breaker I can live without it, but if they was a solution I happily implement it.

So I picked up my I9100 today from my local O2 store after some thought. Tough choice seeing as I still have the original S and its not giving any problems.
Anyway I took it home and opened the box excitedly and switched it on.
It booted up and I got as far as doing a sync with Gmail. After that the market FC'd along with random other apps and the entire handset froze.
I pulled the battery and went to power up but now I'm stuck in a bootloop at the O2 welcome screen.
I haven't flashed it and don't intend to until I know that the stock firmware is working.
I plan on bringing it back to the store asap to get it swapped but I'm wondering if anybody else has had this??

Sticky is there, but that's for people that flash custom roms. Obviously his device has a problem if it has bootloops out of the box and it's better to return it instead of flashing another rom by himself and losing warranty.
Thanks for the replies. Ye I spotted the sticky for flashed handsets alright.
The store is out of stock at the mo so I have to wait until tomorrow to collect my replacement.
Still interested to see if anyone else had this problem...

So i picked up my new I9100 and could not be happier.
No problems with this one at all. Its such a nice piece of kit and so much smoother than stock I9000 firmware.
No fancy flashing yet though just root to get rid of the carrier bloat. But ill probably check out Cyanogenmod once it becomes a little more stable

Okay so today, for some strange reason my phone has decided to give me a fairly thick, red outline/boarder around my screen every time I touch it. It also flashes up randomly without touching the screen. It's starting to get on my nerves now.
Any ideas on how to fix please?

What rom are you running? Any of the ICS leaks or official samsung roms?
Could be one of the developer options, There was an option I found which flashes the screen and shows touch and screen update data. Check under there. Settings--> developer options.
Other than that it could be a faulty connection to the screen.

XXLPH rooted.
& Okay thanks, I'll take a look at that. In development what would it come under?
& I doubt its a faulty connection, but I guess it's worth looking in to.

Yeah ics roms have that. It is in the developer options but I can't remember which option it was. Maybe Google will help. Just remember to reboot for it to take effect I think.

What it sounds like it the dev option mentioned in the title got turned on, possibly while you were checking things out. Dont know what it means but I actually turned mine on just to check it. It is definitely in the developer options. Hope this helps
I waited and waited. Thought about rooting and using a ROM before the official ICS update came from AT&T but just decided to wait. Finally got the update via Kies, excited like a school girl. Initially it was a cool new bit of scenery, and as the OS settled in with me, i found myself disappointed and wanting my gingy back. I've been upgrade for a couple months now i think, and had plenty of time to try to get used to it.
I am finding lots of things that just plain suck.
1 - Text message notification audible alert discontinues after awhile (unknown amount of time), only resolution I've found is to reboot the phone. This sucks because just out of nowhere my text notification tone stops. Everything else like ringtone etc is fine. This is a dealbreaker for me almost. This worked fine on Ginerbread.
2 - new Swype software gives me problems when the word suggestion feature stops working completely. Swype is hard to do without word suggestions at times. Only solution i've found is again, reboot the phone. This sucks. I know, don't use swype, but i WANT to use it. It worked perfectly on Gingerbread.
3 - the widget for Google Voice is super tiny now, and i don't see a way of making it bigger. It's approximately the size of 4 icons, whereas before on Gingerbread it was huge and you could easily read/see your voicemails. Maybe i'm missing something on how to change the widget size, but i see no way of doing it.
4 - my News and Weather widget, which i used for weather and news all the time, since my original Galaxy S, does not display any weather information anymore. Just says "No Weather Information". this worked fine on Gingerbread. I guess different phone OS makes widgets work differently. I just want mine to work as expected. News still comes through fine though.
5 - Unlocking the screen seems more difficult now, usually takes me a couple tries, whereas it seemed really smooth and awesome before the update
6 - Power Saving widget is huge now, takes up half of one screen, whereas before it was just 1 row and you could scroll across. Why make it bigger and take up more room with no additional functionality?
After listing all this out, i'm trying to think of the things i LIKE about ICS update, and i can only think of one, which is the data monitoring/limiting which is kind of a cool feature. I doesn't seem any faster really than before. So overall, i honestly was happier with Gingerbread. 6 things that i find that suck versus one thing i like.
Maybe this is me being picky, but as excited as I was to get ICS, i'm equally disappointed in the upgrade. My wife uses a Galaxy Note and it is available for her phone now, and I told her don't bother with the upgrade.
Anyone have any advice??? experience the same problems? I know i could root, install a custom rom etc, but i really like the touchwiz stuff from samsung and i was really happy with just the stock gingerbread OS, even with all the bloatware, i just disregard all that junk.
I'm having the same problem with text notification I just notice that I get a text it would sound but just about an hour ago it just stopped I would get a text and nothing ringtones works and everyrhing but I think is a ics bug maybe it would get fixed in the new update 4.0.4

at&t sucks. bottom line.
Advice, if you want to stick with touchjizz, run a custom one, there are plenty that *should* have those issues taken care of.
But the widget size issue, thats just looks, with a different launcher can change size of widgets.
Lol I called this one. A bunch of people upgrade to stock ICS. Then they complain and want to switch back, mess it up, and start new threads. Hopefully they all learned their lesson about carrier upgrades . I mean even I tried it, just to see what it looked like and how it functioned. Then again I knew how to get back to a custom Rom Before I did it. It's actually not too bad, but there were just too many bugs and battery life was too bad for my taste.

It isn't 100% on all phones it seems to be random but instead of posting something VERY VERY risky for people not so inclined to troll the forums and find out about the risks of certain actions why not shut up or post what you think will work then link them to a topic showing what bad could happen. You just seem like you want people to brick and make more topics about how they tried to reset and bricked. You also need to think of Google searches that link to this topic and they read it and see you said reset and they do it. It isn't just xda its anyone with the internet don't lead people to a possible brick

The only way to go "back" to Gingerbread is to flash UCKH7 straight stock or one of the Gingerbread stock plus root packages in Entropy512's thread. So yes, use that, or one of my guides.
Hey, So I upgraded my Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 to ICS 4.0.4 before 1-2 months. The new graphics and extra features looked really great at first, but 2 hours after using it on normal applications (Facebook, YouTube, Twitter.) It froze and did nothing, like literally just freezes at the screen it lagged on. This has been happening continuously for the past 2 months and I'm really sick of it, I upgraded my phone and my dad's one (both SGS2I9100) using Samsung Kies, ever since that, it just keeps freezing like 4 times a day and I have to take off my battery and re-put it so it can reset since nothing will do this.. The old the firmware I had was the really amazingly going well and never lagged even once (I can't remember which firmware though). I'm a total noob, I didn't and don't have my phone rooted or some stuff like that, expect downloading APKs off the internet lol.
I really want someone to help me in this, I know there must be a solution since I don't think I'm the only one who has been annoyed by this, specially when it happens on a daily routine. I searched over the forums and found nothing.
I know there must be something talking about the issue but I'm too nooby to understand the article titles which might be a solution of my problem. Please help me in my problem it really bothers me and xda is my last hope...
Thank you all.
Note: please use simple terms because I really won't understand, and if you do, please teach me them lol.

Hi,
I have a Samsung s3 int I9300 and it can see a satellite but will not lock onto them and thus will not work with driving directions on google maps.
I have tested it side by side with an s2 and the s2 pics up a satellite quickly wile the s3 struggles to lock onto one.
My phone has been rooted and had Omega running on it but I have tried many different versions of firmware and also have done a full restore via odin and the 3 files.
It is connected to T-Mobile (EE) Uk and he internet is working perfectly.
Please can someone help me find out if it is a software of hardware error.
If you need any more info please ask and I will prove it straight away.
Thank you all :good:

try a different rom and/or kernel
HI,
I have just done a complete unroot and install using Odin. I am currently running a fresh I9300XXEMC2_I9300OXAEMC2_BTU but still no gps!
I am running a stock kernel and Rom so am I right in thinking it is not a software issue?
I do not have insurance but as it is a hardware issue could I get Samsung to repair it for free?
Is there anything else I could try?
