[Q] SGS3 T999 Variant Camera Failed - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
This is my first post in XDA. I'm pretty sure there are similar posts regarding my issue but none of them have solved my problem. My friend gave me his SGS3 T999 (T-Mobile). But the camera won't work, I just get the following message:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I've already tried the following:
1. Flash stock rom
2. Tried other camera apps
3. Tested both front and back cameras with *#0*# USSD code
It may be related but the Accelorometer doesn't work either.
Checked the firmwares:
Rear Camera
Cam FW Ver: GDFD06
Phone FW Ver: GDFI02
Front Camera:
Cam&Phone FW Ver: S5K6A3
I have a hunch, would it be possible to change the camera's firmware verson? That's the only thing I haven't tried so far. I read somewhere that the problem started when they updated the firmware.

Wrong forum. Hope you didn't flash anything from this forum, as it would ultimately result in soft or hard bricking.

and even going back to the original shipped rom with the old radio

id really appreciate if sombody cd get a fix to this
It's a common problem, mine doesn't work either for months.
If you have it use your warranty.
its hard-reset related, also havent found a fix yet, sometimes it works and sometimes it stops working... Usually whan I flash a new rom, I keep hard-resetting untill it appears. :/
okey, thanks for the help
very strange thing

GPS problem

Hello,
I'm new here and i have a question about my gps on the gt-I9100.
Here on the site is a patch that solves the connecting problem on the GT-I9100 G.
So i installed the patch and then i noticed that it didn't work at all anymore. It was only then that i noticed that it was for the model GT_I9100 G
and not mine the GT-I9100. I didn't even know there was a G model. But alas the harm was done.
Now my question is, has anyone the original file for the gps of my model (so i could flash it back to normal)? I've been searching the site but couldn't find one, or a solution. I have ics 4.0.3 stock ROM, and I'm from belgium (don't really know if this is necessary to know).
Thanks in advance
If you link to what you've actually flashed, you can work out which files have been replaced/altered, aiding someone to be able to help you.
Here is the link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1817558
I took the gps_patch.zip for non rooted phones.
Since i was trying to fix it myself first, by now I am rooted. Dunno if it makes any diferrence for help.
Thanks in advance
Someone who can help?

An easy and brute-force solution is to simply re-flash stock rom.
You can find all sorts of roms in sammobile.com.
GPS.zip contains only a file, you can simply edit it manually and replace the content with the following entries:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Code:
NTP_SERVER=north-america.pool.ntp.org
XTRA_SERVER_1=http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_2=http://xtra2.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_3=http://xtra3.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
SUPL_HOST=supl.google.com
SUPL_PORT=7276
That should solve your issue.
If you have a toggling issue (gps does not switch to on), use a kernel which contains the min freekb fix) like speedmod.
Good luck!

[Q] Pink/Purple streaks when taking photos, has anyone seen this? Photos inside

I've been having a few issues with my phone recently. I'm running a stock, non rooted rom.

"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

Recently, my camera stopped working all together after trying the Poland rom. I reverted back to the stock rom, and let it do OTA updates to get it up to date. Once I did that, the camera started working just fine, until today. When I attempt to take photos, they come out with purple/pink streaks on them. They show both when I take the photo (they scroll across the screen), and in the photo itself. Has anyone run into this before?
Anyone?

Did you update your camera firmware? There is a guide in general section that shows you how. I would try that.

I haven't, but, the phone and camera firmwares are the same
And now, when I start the camera I'm getting "an unknown error occurred"
I guess I'll have to ship it back to Samsung and hope they fix it. It's on an official rom and says custom binary download: no with an official system status in download mode, so I should be okay right?
Thanks for the help

[Q] brick? modem n/a

hello everybody.
Here is the story, a friend of mine tried to install a custom rom on its brand new galaxy s3 and messed all things up. He came to me and we installed back an original rom, but we got this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
for what I understand, he isn't able to make the modem work, and the camera maybe. He told me he have done "something" to the efs partition, so I thought he messed up that. But esf files are all there and it seems the phone still have a valid imei (353*********151).
We were unable to recover it so we restored everything, resetted the counter, and bring it to assistance for warranty. They told us that there is a crack in the main board and they have to change it
They also said that there is a problem with the screen and it has to be changed. But it seems fine to us!
They also told us that those operations are not covered by warranty, and we have to pay 270 euros!!
Now we are looking for an alternative solution. It sound strange to me that is a hardware problem, because it happened when my friend started to play with the OS. Any suggestion? anything we can try before changing the mainboard?
any help will be appreciated!!
this is factory mode, use search

[Q] Issue with SGS3 I9300 - which ROM?

Hello everyone,
my cousing bought a chinese I9300 but he wanted to change ROM because the current one doesn't work well and he has lots of problems with the signal, sms, wifi... We're from Italy if that matters.
Below you can see the screenshots captured from an Antutu report so you can see what's inside this baby :good:
I'd like to know if there's any ROM I can install to replace the running one and see if it can work better.
Thank you all in advance

The phone is not a SGS3 I9300 its some fake clone chinese job .
As posted nothing for that phone on this forum we cannot advise .
I hate to say this to you..
But that does not looks like a real S3 I9300.
From the screen shots I can see that the screen resolution is not correct and neither is the standard DPI.
So I don't think you can install any of the ROMS that are available in this section of the forum.
I think your cousin bought a knock-off that looks almost the same.
Unless you can figure out what phone it really is you are out of luck I'm afraid...
Yeah I thought that too as I saw the report.
So you think that maybe a ROM not for S3 but for some other phone might work.. What should I look for? Screen res, processor....
It looks like hunting a needle in the sea
Suggest you search and read the hundreds of identical post and see if you can find a forum/ firmware .
You require rom for your phone not some other phone .
