Really worth updating to 4.1? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently got myself nexus 7 which has 4.1.2 and doesnt have any flash support but i installed flash and im using firefox with it. The performance of flash is still isnt great and some times crashes . Have tried different browsers but still the same issue.
I personally use flash quiet alot .. does the crashing issue exist on s3 4.1 update aswell?
Can some one with the new update shed some light please
Because atm ics is doing just fine for me .
Thanks

Updating to 4.1 is a pretty good advantage.. that way you get updated to most of the things.. anytime, android will abandon ICS soon like how they abandoned GB </3
hahahaah

Of coarse its worth it, always.. unless the update is a buggy as hell release but, for the most part- it only gets better

[Q] My new Samsung galaxy S2 SGH-I777

Hello all
First of all im not good english because my main language is italian anyway:
Im new i receiv this phone for a fews weeks ago my father gave me as gift from china.
Im using cyanogen mod 7 and i have kernel like 2.6.35.7-gedb93be [email protected] #1
The question is this: How i can update firmware automatic without doing so complicate and easy way to do??
I heard most people use SGH-I9100 and update with program Samsung Kies easy.
Well for this SGH-I777 cannot use kies and doesnt work either.
Any suggestion? Maybe a nice alternative for update in future?
Hope this information help a bit
Thank for support!
Alan
I'm pretty sure that's only possible if you have rom manager pro ...sort of , I'm pretty sure if you want to update you have to download and flash the update

Kies + cm7 would never work anyway. Cm7 is an aosp rom and kies only works with Samsung builds.
Sent from my HTC PH39100
If you are trying to update CM7 to newer builds you can use rom manager paid app and have access to it. OR you can also download the newer CM7 updates from here http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=galaxys2att
If you are wanting to upgrade the stock samsung firmware then you will need to go back to stock samsung rom for kies to work I think.

Thanks for all guys i paid premium rom manager and there seems all ok!
Remain only a problem about NFC when i go setting wireless + NFC its show me grey out why? doesnt work?
NFC is not enabled yet on the AT&T version of this phone. Some developers have made progress in getting the phone to recognize the NFC chip, but no one has been able to enable full functionality of NFC.
Oh so i have to wait for next update version cyanogen mod for fix this problem? I hope so because need a lot nfc :s! thanks for quick reply u guys are great
Sent from my SGH-I777 using Tapatalk
Right now, NFC working in CM7 is still quite a ways away... I have only succeeded in partial functionality with official Samsung firmware.
The problem is that the AOSP/CM7 Nfc.apk does NOT like our stock device's JNI libraries (crashfest) - but using the Nexus S JNI libs causes the behavior you describe.
Aosp? Ehm well im a noob lol i dont understand at all about technology especial telephone instead computer antway i try to learn as quick as i can :/

Learning
I hear you, man. After the last few years with iPhones, I am learning a ton since coming here.
AOSP is Android Open Source Project. It is often used to mean plain android without any 3rd party changes like HTC sense or Samsung TouchWiz.
Cyanogen builds their ROMs straight from AOSP. Other devs start with already modified versions. For example UnNamed and Serindipity are built off of the Samsung modified android that came on our phones.

Rule number one of Cyanogen Mod is do not ask for dates. I would say that applies here too. Even if the devs can get NFC to work it is very unlikely we will be able to use google wallet, which is the big draw for a lot of people.

I knew some of what you were talking about, but I am a little unclear about the link between AOSP and stock Android. They don't actually put out anything that is usable by average consumers, right? Their output is solely for the dev community?

My New rooted phone
Hello, I am a newbie to this whole rooting thing. I just had my phone rooted with UnNamed ROM v2.2.1 so far the phone has been really fast and smooth. Its a nice clean setup. The big question is, now what? What should be my next step? Nothing big since I`m still learning. Maybe a theme? I not sure. Thanks for any input. Have a great night.
Do whatever you feel like doing, or leave it as it is if it works for you. That's the beauty of Android, you always have choices. Enjoy your phone, it's a beast.

Recovery and cyanogenmod?

Are there any news on recovery and or custom roms like miui or cyanogenmod?
There is some trouble with the Bootloader, so the Devs can't do anything at the moment.
You need to Wait a little bit ^^
The ICS update should solve it
Ok thanks...

I have already been testing recovery since 2-3 weeks but have been running into numerous issues...
Things would have moved a LOT faster if we could boot custom kernels...
Anyways as far as I know CM is already in development for this device... Don't know about miui, but once cm is ready miui will be easily ported...
Once bootloader bug is resolved we will see a big push in development...

You will continue to see your problem get worse as android matures and flash's death matures no one is trying to make it work. I its not supported any longer on either end

Slide notification bar short cut

Hi guys,
I've just found out that when you slide down the notification bar and the for example you keep your finger on wifi, data or bluetooth for 2 seconds it will take you to the settings of the selected icon.
I've never seen this on any review or read of it anyware. I'm on latest Ics Checkrom.
Thanks

Actually he is partly correct. It is standard feature for AOSP ICS and JB roms BUT Samsung has only implemented it in JB and not in ICS for the S3. So, you're the one who isn't reading.

Actually thats not strickly true i have always been on stock samsung ICS rom and it worked as a direct shortcut straight out of the box- has done since i got the phone. Found out by accident when playing with phone when i first got in - held wifi for a tad long (couple of seconds) and it went straight to wifi settings menu!! Useful little feature..
Hmmmmm just trying it now and it don't work anymore!!!! ... it deffo worked on the samsung ICS rom out of the box, Had a update via Kes a month or so back which put me on I9300XXLH1, I9300XXBLG8 4.0.4 so either that stopped it working or something i've frozen has stopped it!!
I know for a fact it worked coz i used it several times when i first got phone and was messing about with all the settings etc!

ICS XXLH1 doesnt working :/

Moving from stock 3.1 rooted - which rom is the most stable for everyday use ?

Hi
I want to upgrade my p7500 3G with new rom.
now I have 3.1 rooted only.
I want it to be as stable as possible because of everyday use.
Can you suggest me the most stable rom to do this job ?
I have htc desire so i know the regular stuff about android (backup...) but may be there are critical difference that i should know before i start flash custom rom ?
my bootloader is p7500xxkg3
this is a wifi - 3G version.
thank you for helping

Read before you flash anything. CM9 or CM10 would be my vote.
CM 10 11/29 nightly rocks. Far smoother and faster than stock and everything works.
I can't find CM10 from 29/11.
From what I know, nightly is not stable version or do I think wrong because I used to this word from Desire forums.
How do I start after I make a TB ? Do I need to update to 3.2 via OTA first ?
So, after upgrading to 3.2 via Kies, I downloaded official ICS from sammobile and installed it. Rooted again and for now everything seems to be fine. Just needed to place the icons again on home screens.

Hi If you are looking for a solid Jellybean (4.1.2) ROM you can find the Cyanogenmod 10 Rom download.cyanogenmod.org (I'm assuming you have the standard WiFi Galaxy tab which isdesignated p4wifi at cyanogenmod). Don't let the 'nightly put you off - at this stage of the game its extremely stable and definitely less flakey than Samsungs ICS release.
I took the plunge a week or two ago and have no regrets - best thing I ever did on this tablet.
Additonally once installed you will have access to regular OTA updates which is a brillliant feature
Don't forget Samsung have already stated that there will be no upgrades beyond ICS for this tablet
I have the P7500 model that is Wifi + 3G.
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda premium
p4 is cyanogenmod codename for the P7500 model (get.cm/?device=p4). Mines the P7510 i.e. p4wifi

flash support was taken out of JB, so if you want to use flash you'll have to find a work around. I know there is one, I've seen it in the forums.
I am using JellyBeanROM ICS V7 and must say, all necessary things are working just fine. Definitely a good daily driver. Using Yoda 2.4 Kernel with it.
No issues so far, going good. :good:
