Hi Guys,
I'm having a strange problem on a S3 a customer has. The problem is that when you make a call and then lock and unlock the screen a mysterious korean girl appears and i have no idea how this happened or how to fix it. Wondering whether anyone has any ideas. (Attached a picture).
Phone is a NZ bought model, running stock ICS 4.0.4.
All help appreciated!
Cheers,
Maybe that's part of the preinstalled carrier stuff?
Is he using the stock dialer?
I don't think it would be preinstalled as it only started happening recently after his son was playing with his phone (but doesn't know what he did to make it happen) and yes its using the stock dialler.
thanks

Looks like a Picasa image to me.
Check the syncing options in contacts You can choose to only show contacts with numbers in the contacts settings.
Anymore photos like that, forward them on.
I don't think its a bad thing

So i tried the apps responding to voice commands, all of them work fine (alarm, camera, music) except for incoming calls. No matter how much i say "answer" or "reject" it wont do anything.
Is anyone else facing the same problem. If this topic is already opened kindly direct me to it. I might have missed it.
Thanx

Finally, someone other than me is having the same issue (not that its a good thing hehe).

Edit: one of my co-worker also tried. He can reject calls but cannot answer them.

I'm from Romania.
I think is software related but don't know exactly what's the difference between our phone settings and someone who can use voice commands to answer.
I believe the only setting is to turn on the option of answering calls using voice command. Because i contacted samsung twice. First time they told me to make sure my "incoming calls" option is checked in the setting. When i told them it is thn they just told me to take it to the service center.

190 views and only hand full of people having this issue. Did you try taking your phone to the local service center?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
for me is not so easy to take it to the local service
samsung service is 500km away and anyway, the phone is working great
only the problem with voice command i want to solve but i think that a software update will do it so I'm waiting
Wow tht is far. Yeah i know the phone is indeed running gd. I know its somrthing small but i want to have it fixed

I just started trying to use my voice cmd's to control the phone. I am experiencing the same thing. For pictures it works great, for answering or regecting calls it doesnt work at all no matter how much i yell at it, and it is not changing the song for music play either. It almost seems as if the noise from the speaker is causing an issue.....
My phone is working fine otherwise so I find it hard to think that it is something related to the phone.....
No voice command function
same problem here... in fact mine is worst, after flashing with custom JB stock based ROM, no voice command options at all!! searching all over the forum for solution...
hi all... can anyone tell me what dependancies are need to get voice cmd app enabled for s2 i.e... libs or modified framework files?
any DEV'S out there that will know can they share whats required? s-voice works fine but want to also have voice camera cmd in app, music voice cmd in app E.T.C E.T.C

Hi guys,
I'm new here and have been looking around to try and get my question answered but haven't quite had any luck.
I'm made the move from iPhone to Android and absolutely loving it. I'm sure we're all aware of the MMS issue? I have a couple of questions regarding this.
1) When sending MMS's from iPhone to iPhone and iPhone to Android, the picture quality is obviously much much better. Why is this? Why the limitations? It's definitely not the carrier.
2) I'm aware of Go SMS and all those 3rd party apps, but is there a mod or "fix" to the resolve the issue? I'm currently using LiquidSmooth RC7 and love the jelly bean messages app.
Apologies for the long post!!!
Thanks

What messaging app are you using?
When i first made the move from iphone to android I was using Go sms and Hancent. Both had this problem but after switching back to the stock messaging app, havent had the problem.
Using Liquid Smooth ROM which has stock jelly bean messaging app.
I stuck my sim in my iPhone again and a friends Windows phone and MMS that are sent are way better quality. Only on Android it's shocking... just curious as to why exactly.

Hmmm that could be the reason why. Try using Stock SMS if you can. if not then I'm out of ideas.
Yeah already tried that. Still nothing. Apparently Cyanogen Mod has a settings menu where u can change the outgoing MMS size. I'm sure there's something in the code that can be changed but not sure where. Will wait for CM10 and see if that changes anything.
Thanks for the suggestion though.

Need to change the compression level of the MMS i guess.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Yeah, would be good if there was an option to set the limit. At the moment it's at like 40-60kb. Ridiculous. All other phones have a much higher size.
Sent from my GT-I9300
Yeah its a shame really. Only working solution I've seen is to tell go sms to preserve image quality and stop compression.

Actually it is the carrier, when you are sent an MMS, the carrier sends you a SMS telling you to get it.
Your phone then connects to their server and passes a user agent string. The carrier then works out what's best to give you.
If they haven't got around to adding you user agent, often they go for worst case scenario.
Some apps allow you to have a custom user agent (messaging, not web) which should help.
The other possibility is the iPhones were using iMessage instead.
+1 for iMessage. Why use other between two iDevice?

Op what country are you from mate? Regardless of what other people say it is true MMS on android is shocking so i use whatsapp it is a multi platform app and you can send 12sec vids and pictures via your data and it doesn't cost you anything extra. Only costs a few kbs of your data. You can also use kik. But i wish the mms quailty was better to be honest.
I don't see how its the carrier when the same carrier on other phones don't have an issue.
I'm from Australia mate. Yeah started using watsapp a while ago then deleted it.. but other people need to be on it too don't they?

Yes.
But it still might be the carrier, since iPhone to iPhone probably doesn't send mms, but uses imessage instead. That's why there is no limitations in picture size.
I personally prefer using Line. It's free (whatsapp costs 1.99 USD a year for "server costs")
iPhone to iPhone worked even before iMessage was out. Pics that were sent were delivered in good quality.
I've found my solution for the time being. Facebook messenger has added SMS/MMS threading into its app now. Very seamless and convenient. I've tested sending MMS to phone numbers without them having a Facebook account (or not being Facebook friends) and the pics get delivered in great quality.
Thank u all for your suggestions

I recently bought an international GT-I9300 Galaxy s3. I am facing few problems. I get a 3-4 seconds lag when I open dialer contacts and messaging app but once i have opened them it seems like they stay in memory for some time and open instantly but after some time i get this horrible lag again. Is my phone normal? I searched the forums and some people are facing this while others not. Secondly whenever I charge my s3 through the AC adaptor, galaxy s3 shows as charging (USB). Then i unplug and plug again after few tries it shows charging (AC). Is my phone faulty or is this a software bugs? Any fixes to these problems? I am on everything stock and unrooted JB 4.1.1 I9300XXDLID. Thanks
Hello, first of all, did you buy it brand new? First, I trying turning of s voice as it is know to cause lags. Then I can developer options change the windows a d transition animation scale to 0.5. See if it gets better, it could just be that there are some bugs! I
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Yes brand new with official damsung warranty. I have changes the animations and transition to 0.5 and disabled s voice.. Still the lag is present. Any solution? Should I send it to Samsung?
Are there any other lags beside the dialer and the messaging app?

None. The lag is present only on dialer contacts and sometimes messaging.
Ok, I think that it's just a big with the jelly bean... It should be fixed soon!

Sorry for being a noob but this is my first Android phone and I have heard rooting/flashing voids warranty so I don't wanna risk it. I prefer doing it the simple way. Samsung should fix this bug soon.
there are ways to reset the flash counter..search the forum for triangle away. I flashed my S3 with many different custom ROMs. My phone earphone jack had some problem. I used triangle away, flash to stock ROM and bring it to Samsung for warranty. No problem with that..or maybe they didn't check thoroughly..:highfive:

All problems fixed. There was a problem with ota update. I resolved it by reinstalling the firmware through KIES firmware upgrade and initialization option. No lags in dialer contacts so far and blue Samsung logo on boot has come back. Thanks everyone. This thread can be closed.
Update: dialer and contacts lag still present
Hi all
Anyone experienced the occasional dialer screen messed up after a call?

Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Dafuq happened there. Sorry man, never seen that
Woah bro. I have no idea what's up with your dialer. Are you on stock firmware and kernel? No root? No mods?
It only happened 2 or three times and I cannot reproduce at will.
First time was on stock rom without root.
Last time (screencapture 18/12/2012), was on sotmax_Ultimate_stock_V10_XXELKC_Aroma, but it was not a clean flash. I kept apps and data when I converted to sotmax rom. So it must be something carried over.
But happening very seldom, so not a big issue where I would want to risk a clean factory wipe.
Just hoped someone seen it as well.
Happened to me aswell today but exiting and reentering the Dialer sorted it out.
I'm on a clean install of crDroid 8.2!
so I am not alone :laugh:
same, here, exit and reopen fixed it immediately.
This has happened to me on various Sammy based ROMs all JB but different versions.
I really wouldn't worry about it to much, killing the app and opening works again.
Must be something with the dialer. The only thing I will say is that I did have all the motion stuff turned on.

Hey, I just bought a samsung i9100 from a network company(orange) with the ics 4.0.4 version on it. Sometimes my screen doesn't work, i mean i'm typing and it doesn't respons but after i turn the phone in lock screen (1 time on power button) it works again. Oh, also it move by itself and if i type on contacts for exaple it execute my command and do one extra touch on some porson from my contacts. I'm convinced that it's a software problem but may i'm thinking wrong?

Must be the touch driver crashing....
*clean your screen, fluids tend to crash touch driver and like you mentioned locking, wiping the screen and unlocking will get it working.
If that doesn't work
*maybe it's because of some app you use crashing/colliding check and see you may might have to try un installing the apps which you installed or updated when the problem started to occur.
*if above two failed try performing a factory reset might help .
*finally flashing a new stock firmware will correct the problem if all above methods failed.

Well.....I think you have just found the answer to your question
Remove it and see if it's all good. If not, returning time it is, don't even bother go flashing firmwares. It's a brand new phone.
Good morning. Guys i was thinking that my screen protection isn't a problem because if i lock the screen and i open it again all works. And sometimes when i'm typeing a text message or i'm on browser it seems to type by itself and i'm looking scared .
p.s : i flashed a new stock rom(4.0.3) , i wiped it and i did all i could. the problem is still there.
