Hi. Ive got a Galaxy S3 GT-I9300.
A few Weeks ago i did a simple restart of my phone, after that the Messenging system stoped working, standard keyboard aint working either. Atm im using different keyboard and messenging app, but i prefer teh standard ones and wants to use it instead.
I also havn't got the Jelly bean update, my mom got jelly bean a long time ago but i still havn't recieved any update.
I contacted samsung and they told me to turn it in for reperation since it seems like my phone is bugged.
I don't feel like send in my phone and get it back in a month, so i wonder if theres something i could do myself to fix this problem.
Please send me a pm if you have any ideas.
Thanks for the help!

Hi guys,
First post for me, just had a look at the s3 and I was wondering if there is any way of getting the data switch up in the notification menu like the s3 has? I have a non rooted s2 and don't really want to root it.
Can I do it without rooting it?
Cheers

I believe technically yes, since you get CWM without root by following the first four steps of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719 followed by http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667846 which can be configured to achieve what you want.
Thanks for you quick response but I think i'll just go and buy the s3 .. I think that'll be easier

Interesting logic. Follow instructions which would probably take 30-60 seconds vs. buying a new phone.
Troll another forum.
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

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.

Since, i have upgraded my galaxy S2 firmware to ICS. There have been a number of issues. I have read around about issues related to wifi and battery drain. But i am experiencing a bit more than just these ones. Whenever i access my contact list and try to make a call, the phone hangs...or rather loads for a long time till the phone call is placed. Also, when i try to type a message the keyboard doesn't show up at times. Does anyone know any fix for these problems??? I have tried hard reset and clearing the cache option already. But it didn't help . I would really really appreciate if someone could give me a solution.
Thanks guys.

Does anyone have a remedy? or a suggestion?
Sorry, I have no solution for the problem. I got the same Problems with my I9100G since I've updatet to ICS 4.0.4
The keyboard hangs very often and sometimes the complete Phone hangs for 10 seconds and more. The only workaround I've found is a little app called "Fast reboot pro". It kills all running apps with one click (I think there are some similar task killing apps in the market) and it helps. But that's not a real solution, I know.

For the OP you could root then install custom rom.

Hello theunderling, It was really my first Post here and I have to say very thank you for your warm welcome words. I know, everyone has a bad day from time to time. You should more try to chill, it's better for health and soul. Maybe you was very annoyed and didn't see my words about the workaround? And yes, I am interested to hear from other users the possible known problems after update to ICS. Anger makes you blind. That's not good my son.
Have a nice day.

I'm assuming you upgraded to ICS from GB. I faced the same issue when I did my upgrade. Was very waiting so long for the official ICS upgrade.
I read some place that when you are moving from one version to another, like GB to ICS, its advisable to do a factory reset, wipe data, cache and Dalvik memory. So I rooted, did the above and flashed in a custom ICS ROM and its been smooth since.

Hello ares06, it seems to be the reason for that issues. I've updated my phone directly from GB 2.3.6
There were some threads in other areas and they said the same things as you. I've ignored that and it seems that I'll have now much additional effort. Man I hate it to do all the installations of OS and all apps. Would be better to spent effort next time with reading of how to's before I start any updates.
But thanks to you for that important answer.

I'm sure you must've read about rooting. My suggestion is that you root, install this app called Titanium (it backs up all your apps in a few minutes), factory reset your phone and wipe all data and flash in a custom ROM. After installation just do a restore of all your apps from Titanium. You'll have all your apps back in a jiffy. The whole process should take you max an hour. Totally worth it if you ask me

Hi Ares05. Thats cool. But which custom rom do u suggest?
since we're talking about problems, my SGSII (SHW-M250K, olleh KT) decided that after the update to ICS 4.0.3, it would stop reading my SIM card. I'm going to try going back to Gingerbread to make sure that the USIM isn't completely screwed because its also an NFC USIM authenticator. The SHW-M250x series is probably one of the most unique of the SGS2 family, because they are only sold in Korea, Hong Kong (and Malaysia i think). And i have lost sleep so let me put this in here right now for anyone that has an SHW-M250x series:
THERE IS NO ROM SUPPORT/ROOT KERNEL SUPPORT FOR SAMSUNG GALAXY S II ORIGINATING FROM SOUTHEAST ASIA - BEST BET IS TO FIND A GT-I9100 OR WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO GET OFF THEIR KEISTER TO BUILD ONE FOR THE M250x SERIES.
I will post later with details if the USIM is busted due to the update.
Samsung Galaxy S II (SHW-M250K, KT olleh)
Android Stock (ICS 4.0.3)
I'm in Indonesia (which is in SouthEast Asia) and my S II is rooted.
People sell GT-I9100 here anyway. But not in East Asia.

I'm using Neat ROM Lite. You could check it out. There is no such thing as the "best ROM" so you've gotta search for one that suits you best

Thanks!! will try it out
S2 ics 4.0.3 have many bugs so i rooted my device and changed my kernel to siyah kernel.Now no issue so far.
Just root your device and change your kernel.
Ok, well I have a note 2 with verizon and had 4.1.1 and had it rooted. When then new ota update came, did it and phone went to crappers (a while back of course) So For the past month I been rooting my phone with 4.1.1 to make it "work" and phone started acting weird. Called verizon and received new phone yesterday with 4.1.2.
Now, I have been looking for ways to root it and found several, but when I try them, phone does not root.
Any help would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,

Yes & yes.. Again, I've done this ever since I had my S3 and never had issues rooting. But this time around with 4.1.2 it's been hard. It sounds stupid and I feel stupid because it should be that damn hard..
Was able to put Team Win Recovery Project v2.5.0.0.. Now what??

Guys, I have to post this in hopes it will help others.
If you still have this device and had the problem where it reboots once it boots and have no imei and baseband, i solved it. finally!
I tried everything, EVERYTHING initially. i opened the device more times than i can remember. I changed the power button, gave it a chemical bath, removed the sim holder, adjusted every adjustable aspect of it but nothing. this started when i flashed some rom (cant remember which one), and it started rebooting as soon as the os loaded. not a random reboot but as soon as the os loaded, no matter what rom i flashed. thats when i tried all of the posted solutions on the power button issues of this phone. nothing worked. Then when i finally got a stock odin to work, i noticed i had baseband unknown and imei unknown and therefore no sim functions. i began researching and i did everything from flashing every available modem, to flashing all stock roms with odin and with keis, to that trick of forcing an iemi and adding some folder that may have been deleted. i even looked to order the sim holder that people recommended but i never bothered (thankfully) as many said it didnt work. I eventually was advised that my ONLY solution was to jtag it. i almost ordered devices like nspro etc, but alas, i gave up finally and just used it as a tablet with a rudimentary os (the only one that didnt reboot on me ) with abysmal battery life (3 to 4 hours on standby) until i finally left it in a drawer and forgot it for most of the year. Fast forward to yesterday. ill spare the details of why i had to, but basically i took back the challenge to get it working, believing that it was a software problem that i could solve with the help of xda's resources. and after a sleepless night and much research and trials, i finally have a fully working i717 with insane battery life (2% lost on standby overnight). so here's what i did. I used odin to flash this rom (email me for the link, i dont want to break any forum rules) and once it was done, the os began to boot but it stuck on the loading screen. this was actually good news since it wasnt rebooting! i left it for an hour just in case and eventually forced the shut down by holding power button (didnt remove the battery). then i booted into download and used odin to flash cwm recovery (latest one, search for an app to convert the img file to a md5 that odin can use). i booted into recovery and once there i downloaded the miui v5 rom in the development section of this forum, (i chose miui because initially it was the only other rom that didnt reboot, but i SUSPECT that the others should be fine now once i flashed the odin rom) and once it installed and booted, voila! cell reception and i can make and receive calls!. Everything is working perfectly now!! thank God. I left it on miui because i like it and it works as is, but i suppose the other roms like the 4.4 roms should, in theory, work now. in the link i have there is the rom AND a modem as well, i did NOT flash the modem as i didnt need to so you shouldnt have to either. Thanks for reading, and i sincerely hope that i could help someone out with this post. thanks to xda and the contributors who helped me through this ordeal!
Sincerely,
My phone rebooted 3 times while trying to read this. I wasn't sure if you were actually offering help or trying to sell us some new sports bra.
If you have some miracle files then post the link. Why make this an egg hunt? I'm sure the forum would appreciate it.

No need to be rude mate. And its not an 'egg hunt' if you read it you would see that i didnt want to break any forum rules by posting links without permission since i cant contact the owner of the site with the links. I didnt have to post anything atall and i asked for no gratitude in return but a little civility goes a long way.
