Hello to you all,
I have the following issue with my Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300 (International Version):
If I lock the screen the time simply stops going. For example: I lock my screen at 13:00, unlocking it an hour later and the time on the phone is still 13:00. Same with the countdown timer, which stops everytime I lock the phone.
I tried searching for solutions in the forum but found nothing. Searching for my specific problem mostly ends up in solutions for clock-widget issues or incorrect time zone problems.
The Specs:
Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300 International Version with cm11.0-Installer. I have had the same issue with ParanoidAndroid 3.99 RC2 and cm-10.2.0.
The system information screenshot (as a noob I cant post outside links, so here you go): i dot imgur dot com slash PhyzPPi dot png
Some additional information that might be useful:
I live in Germany, using a german provider. The phone was purchased from a German seller, I am sure it is no fake (tested with GSIII-identity).
Any help is highly appreciated, this bug makes my phone pretty useless. If there are any questions regarding the specs, feel free to ask.
Thank you!

Addendum: I flashed the original Samsung Firmware, it did not solve the problem completely. The system time is still incorrect.
Dear all,
I contacted the retailer and sent in the S3. They generously replaced it and sent me a working one with correct time & date.
Since the phone I bought in the first place was a used one, it may have gotten this fault from a failed flash attempt by the previous owner.
Anyway, I am glad to finally got a working S3, even though I never found out the cause of this error.
This thread may be closed.
Greetings

..but I do have one question: Why did no one ever reply? Did you have no suggestion/answer/solution to this particular problem, or was the quality of the question not sufficient? Please let me know.
Why did no one ever reply
One why should they reply its a developers forum not a paid for service .
Two why did you not read the faqs and guides .
Three the only answer would be to factory reset as per the faqs and guides .

Hello
This is my first thread, so first of all I want to apologize for my ignorance because i need to be honest with you guys is that i don´t really know much about this.
Thing is I bought this Samsung Galaxy SII i9100 and it had jelly bean installed, problem with the phone is that altough it was working fine in software terms (going into the internet, using the instant messaging services and social networks and so on) the camera had terrible lags, it just crashed everytime i tried to use it, so I decided I needed to go backwards, meaning I wanted to flash an older version of android to this phone, now here´s what happened
1.- I looked online for several websites including this one, and found out i needed the ROM, which i downloaded from sammobile (sorry i´m not sure if i´m allowed to say the source here it is another website), it was I9100UHLPP_I9100UHLPG_I9100UWALP5_HOME.tar.md5 for dominican republic.
2.- also read i needed the PIT, so i got it and used the omap4_all_20110627_emmc.pit.
3.- Followed this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1814801
Now here´s the problem, i succesfully placed the phone in download mode, and it got recognized by odin, but it failed when flashing, the phone got stuck into download mode, no activity was shown on Odin or the phone whatsoever, so i tried the most STUPID solution you can think after some time scratching my head without knowing what to do, I removed the battery.
Now the phone is not responsive at all, i plug the charger and it doesn´t show anything, use the 3 buttons and it doesn´t go to download mode, won´t come on, but it does get very warm on the camera area when plugged to charge.
I´ve read several threads of bricked galaxy phones but I wasn´t sure of any of the solutions posted, so I decided to ask directly miself, I know I posibly made some mistakes here, and I would really appreciate your help guys.
Before any of you asks me this, i don´t have a JIG so i haven´t tried that (as i said i´m kind of a newbbie with all this)
Service centre or maybe JTAG repair by 3rd party repairer. If you're lucky service centre won't notice/won't be able to tell you've borked it & repair it under warranty. If they don't get in touch with a couple of JTAG repairers (Google) & compare the cost with what Samsung/authorised repairer want to charge your to repair it.
Bricked is bricked. Nothing anyone here can tell you that's going to fix it given you're getting nothing out of the phone.

The phone has no warranty so i´m F... up lol
OK. In that case, get in touch with these guys (as I said in my PP, if you do a Google search you'll find others. You might even find one near you if you ask at local mobile repair shops).
If the phone can be JTAG'd (and you're only going to find out if someone who does them has a look), it will be much cheaper than paying a Samsung service centre/authorised repairer to fix it.
I´m on it already.

I already got in touch with a local 3rd party repair centre, they say it varies between 15-90 dollars to get this fixed depending on how bad it is, that is assuming it can be JTAGed, if it can be, i´ll let you guys know the information for the colleagues in Dominican Republic so they know, if not, then I guess I just got myself a very expensive paperweight :crying:
Good News!
My Galaxy SII i9100 is alive, i took it to this place and the JTAGed it and it works fine now, I still complain a little about the camera lags but is much better than before.
Should I post the information of the repair centre?
is that allowed?
Yep, do. Someone else might find it useful at some point.

First off, Hi, yes i am a N00B... i hear your groans already :good:
So i finally took the plunge to move to android after many years on Blackberry and have to say for the most part i am glad i did. I am currently running a Samsung Galaxy SIII;
Model GT-I9300
Android 4.1.2
Baseband Version I9300DXELK1
Kernel 3.0.31-836582
[email protected] #1
Build Number
Android revolution HD21.1 by mike1986
I am on the Isle of Man Network (Cable & Wireless Guernsey / Sure Mobile (Jersey) (according to Play))
Whilst i am a techie and have worked in IT for over 10 years i am still finding my way with Android so please bare with me! (I wouldn't for a second fathom that i know enough about development so thought i'd come talk to you guys.. as. well. you develop the stuff i'm having issues with!)
My mate rooted and uploaded a customer ROM for me when i got it and pretty much left me to my own devices, whilst i have only had a play round for a few weeks and downloaded some apps there is a few things that are annoying me (and yes i have searched around these forums, googled the hell outta it and unfortunately the things i have tried hasn't worked for me. So...
the crux of the matter is, there are 2 apps i am trying to get working on my phone but unfortunately there are a number of issues.
Sky Go: initially not showing up in the play store (rectified by the use of PhoneControl and Market Enabler)
When attempting to download i get "This item is not available in your country"
Whilst googling i noticed i was not the only one experiencing this issue and with some help from other frustrated users attempted to spoof the phone into thinking its on a different network codes via MarketEnabler. No dice. (although i can now at least see the 2 apps im trying to d/l. I know it works locally as i use it on my ipad (sorry to swear!)
HSBC Fast Balance: Same issues as above, research unfruitful. I had this app previously on my blackberry (shocker i know) so i know it is available in my region.
I have tried multiple things to try and fool the device into thinking it is somewhere else, i have tried changing my default country in multiple areas thinking this is the problem. No dice
So my guess is that the ROM my mate downloaded was developed in a different country and as such hard coded somewhere into the version, but im just guessing.
Any help/advice you may be able to offer would be most appreciated

Same with Sky Go
There's nothing wrong with the custom ROM your friend installed, but you might be better off going back to the latest stock ROM (XXEMB) for the UK - if you want the phone to work exactly as Samsung intended it to. Android is a wonderfully open ended OS but can be a bit too open ended sometimes.
You can download stock ROMS from links in the general forum and follow (closely) the instructions to flash it via Odin on your PC - or get your friend to put back how he found it.
Hi All:
This is my first post in this forum.
I have been using Liquid Smooth JB 2.1 RC2 ROM since Feb 2013 and I really love it. Recently the 2.2 Official version was released and I flashed the ROM accordingly along with GApps.
Unfortunately, when someone calls my phone, nothing happens, no caller display or change in display or not even a ring! The calling party state that they hear the ringing. When I tested it by calling my own phone, I saw that I could hear the ringing from the phone I was dialing from but on my S3, there was no response what so ever...to better explain it, the phone is like its on standby...even when I wake up the screen, I only see the main screen and nothing else..its like no one is actually calling.
When I tried making calls from my S3, the calls went through ok but I could not hang up! I have my phone programmed to end the call using the Power Button, but I still can't hang up. I tried this multiple times but nothing fixed it. I reinstalled the 2.2 version 3 times but no joy. I followed the installation procedure word to word! Out of despiration, I went back to 2.1 RC2 and the phone stated working again..but only this time, it seems to crash a lot. I assume its because of the insane chip that S3's come with.
I have searched the forums high and low but there is not a single thread discussing this issue! Please Help!

Here is some advise for success on Xda. Search and read as much as possible. Not only did you post this in the genreal section where as all questions go in the Questions and answers section (btw there is a sticky that states this). The galaxy S3 has its own forum. I moved the thread there to help you out.

Hi Mark, thanks a lot mate! Appreciate the help. I have been on XDA for the last 15 days trying to look for an answer with S3 and the Liquid Smooth 2.2 official but no luck so far so out of desperation, I posted on here.
Anyways, apologies and thanks for the help.
Liquidsmooth 2.5 V issues
Hi All: As I am a junior member and am not allowed to post questions or issues I am having on the developer forum and hence am forced to post here.
I just updated my phone to Liquidsmooth v2.5 and its working pretty good, decent battery life and all that. However, there is one issue that is bugging me and I will try my best to explain it as much as I can.
When I am on the phone for about 3 minutes and over and if I get a second call, the display shows nothing. I have to press the Home key in order to wake the screen up to view who the caller. is. However, if I am on a call and I get a another within first 1 min or 2, the second caller is displayed on the screen.
Its definitely an issues, which I had with Liquidsmooth v2.1 as well. The screen won't wake up when I am on the phone to show me who the second caller is. I did make sure that the camera was't covered and yet it does the same.
If someone has any suggestions, please let me know. Thanks.

Hi Guys,
I bought a verizon s4 2 months ago and everything was running smooth
Suddenly for the past three days, my screen has progressively deteriorated until just a few random coloured pixels remained
I thought of reporting it to verizon when i found a small crack adjacent to the volume + button
I have uploaded a couple of photos but im not able to share them as im a new user:
h-t-t-p://imgur.com/Yp0TIPN,MxdoNk0
h-t-t-p://imgur.com/Yp0TIPN,MxdoNk0#1
When I accepted my fate and started blaming myself, my friend then looked it up online and found that many people were having the same problem
It seems that the reason is hardware malfunction. I even tried master reset suggested by some people online but it didnt work.
Im pretty sure that if i'd send this in to samsung they would've said this was a hardware damage and charged me money for their mistake(from what i've read this did happen to many people)
I just want to report this issue and being a huge samsung fan im greatly disappointed.
If anybody else did have this problem please post under this thread. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Duly noted. I wonder if I can get squaretrade to send me a check instead when my phone decides to take a 600 ft drop.

Galaxy S4 problem
Hey Dude,
Sarcasm Received, but the phone was perfecly running at 3 p.m. but when I went to a meeting, came back and opened the phone again, it blacked out. There was no chance for the phone to have dropped 3 ft. let alone 600 ft. The pixelated colours started showing later. I apologise for not attaching the video of the other guy having the same problem, it is in my second post. Please take a look and let me know your opinion.

Hey everyone!
I couple of days ago I bought this phone from alibaba.com because I got a good price for it and the specs where decent, atleast for the price.
So far, it's a great phone. It has one bug though which is that sometimes, not always, the volume will go from mute to FULL and force itself to stay there. Like if you were to try and lower the volume, either via the phone menu, or with the side buttons, it would go back up.
This is kind anoying, and these spasms lasts for maximum 30 seconds, ie after 30 seconds you can normally turn the volume down.
But overall, good phone, would've been better if it wasnt doing that. Anyways, to my question.
I want to install Cyanogen mod on this phone. That is the reason why I made this thread, to ask for help/informationg regarding this process, wether its possible or not.
Here are some information I took from the "about phone" window;
Model Number: N3
Android Version: 4.3.0
Baseband Version: N3XXUAMDK
Kernel Version: 3.4.5-526212 [email protected]#1 tue aPR 23 23:00:57 kst 2013
Build number: N3_V1.0_V01_2013
SELinux Status: Enforcing
For specifications phonewise visit this link; turns out I cannot post links yet, but just google "No.1 N3" and their main page will pop out and there are the specs. (I have the 1gb version btw, on their page it costs 199 i think)
So, is this possible? I feel like if this is some kind of software failure, installing cyanogen/or any other rom might fix it.
Also, if it isnt going to fix it, I'd still want my phone to have cyanogen if possible.
Thanks in advance everyone!
issues
Just got this phone in the mail....looks identical to note 3 butttt ...it just isn't connecting to my mobile network. Very frustrating
Radio frequencies are correct etc. I'm on Telus network, I did get a connection for 2 mins and then gone.
On the manufactures website the specs indicate it comes with 4.2 but mine has 4.3. Wondering if the 4.3 is an issue.
The status bars are all grey with a red x above them. Any help would be awesome.
Thanks
Porting cyanogen-mod is possible, but just in the way, that almost nothing is impossible.
There is no cyanogen-mod porting so far for the 6589 phones, so you have to port every driver and everything by hand.
If i were you, i would try to flash the newest no1. n3 rom and look if it runs better.
At my No.1 S6 the last firmware solved always every annoying issues from the beginning.
I haven't found a thread about this phone here yet, so i cant give you a link to the latest firmware.
I saw that needrom.com has a rom for the No. 1 N3 so you who had a problem with your phone could maybe use that.
The volume error has seem to have dissapeared now for some strange reason?
Anyways I'm happy, but I still want more discussion about this phone. It's very good actually.
Thanks to the one posted here.
Also, I have no experience with android development so me porting cyanogen to this phone would not work at all
I think i will get my N3 next week.
Now i'm on my No.1 - S6...

From where did you buy it?
Also, please post here with your thoughts of the phone when you get it!
I buyed it second-hand, originally it came from tinydeal.
Is here a general discussion thread about this phone?
I got mine today, with firmware from 2013-11-18, and the camera-pictures are very noisy.
I guess this is an issue of the camera-drivers.
How are your photos?
So no.1 n3 dont have any custom rom

You have the white bootanimation or the black bootanimation?

American noob here. XDA Developer Boocy has some interesting info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2438752
I received my No.1 N3 (the lower end $179 version as a matter of poverty) with the black boot animation. I believe it shipped with the updated ROM version on http://www.needrom.com/mobile/no-1-n3-2/ . I didn't use Boocy's backup and root tutorial because the cpu name has a T at the end of it (MTK6589T) and this is Android 4.3.0... it seems this phone needs some time on the market before developers see a demand for custom ROMs and we can get a straight forward fix for the GPS issues.
MTK Droid Tools reference in Boocy's post rooted the phone with the superuser button and SuperSu (after spending 8 hours researching why my MTKDroidTools didn't have a root button as seen in some image searches).
As a noob who spent the past 3 days on this phone, MTKDroidTools rooted the phone, but none of the GPS "fixes" or apps I've found work... and GPS is essential for my job. I've researched other custom ROMs but found nothing. I"m stuck at attempting to go back to stock with the needrom.com version posted above (because I didn't know enough about creating and flashing backups until it was too late).
Please link any relevant guides that have helped you in working with this phone. Keep on Google and let the rest of us know when this phone gets the attention it deserves from the developer community! (Thank you developers!)

I've installed the first version of the stock rom from needrom.com... black boot animation. I'm installing the update, which is what I believe came on the phone, black boot animation. I don't think I've seen the white or know where it came from. I'm not sure where the boot animation is stored on the phone, but I'm assuming it is attached to the ROM and when you flash you get a different animation?
I forgot to mention I have MTK Droid Root & Tools v2.5.2... and that in rooting by pressing the SuperUser button, I replaced the HBOOT screen with CWM (when you press volume up, power on, and home screen button during boot). Not sure how I did that, but I'm still trying to figure out where the kernel, rom, and recovery screen and recovery ROM are and which one gets replaced with what. Guides appreciated.
Sorry, if GPS is so important for you, i'm afraid to say you got the wrong phone.
No Fix will make a REAL good GPS, because the antennas are not really good.
With EPO and AGPS on, my phone gets a hot fix in less than 10sec, but navigating with maps is nearly impossible.
Finding satellites inside a car with chromed windows is more than hard.
Nearly all china-phones, but specially the clones have bad gps, and i think they always will.
Better buy a better phone than a cheap samsung galaxy grand or something.
