I've got an issue where all four capacitive buttons will not work in portrait mode but will work in landscape mode with the keyboard out. I've found some people had issues when they first got their phones but I've had mine for about 14 months and this just started happening. I'm on RandomRom right now with a fresh flash but I had this same Rom before I re-flashed and didn't have the issue. Also, the capacitive buttons used to work in CWM but they don't anymore. I'm going to try the new RandomRom later this weekend but I was curious if anyone else had this issue? I'm leaning towards a hardware problem even though it does work with the keyboard out but also the software has essentially remained unchanged so I'm lost.
Try a different kernel
sent from my touchwiz 4.5-ed epic
That was a kernel problem when the ei22 kernels first started being develpoed and has since been fixed. Flashing a newer kernel will take care of the problem

I flashed the 3.3 ThunderHawk ROM and re-flashed the Shadow Kernel (My device says 2.6.35.7-Shadow-EI22_v1.0.2+OC) but it persists. However it's reassuring that you both came up with the same solution; do you have a different kernel in mind that might work better? Thanks for your help.

I recommmend doing a clean install of whatever rom you want to use. An updated kernel should be included with the rom. Wiping 3 times is not neccessary as that was a bug with old cwm (3.x.x.x) 1 time is enough now. If the problem persits after a clean install download the newest samurai kernel. If that doesn't work try the newest shadow kernel (you can try shadow first if you would rather that kernel). Shadow is now on 1.0.4....

if that doen't work... try this...it may work.. and i got this advice from kennyglass, it helped me alot. if you can reflash from odin, try repartitioning...that may fix it. "trial and error". that's what i would do. "but thats just me".
Okay I tried the CleanGB, with the stock kernel and Shadow kernel, and neither of those worked either! Does anyone know of a decent ROM to Odin? I don't want to download the stock from the Samsung website and have to re-root. Or, does anyone know of a gesture application that has "back" and "home" that can be mapped?
Besides "odin", u really got me there. If. U repartition...as much as u don't want to..it will completely reset everything. I would have to say, its better than continuining the guesing game...u know? That's my advice though.

Glad you got it working.
I've tried enabling the bluetooth both thru the pull down button and through the settings menu. It acts like it's starting to turn on, and then after a few seconds, just goes dark again.
Tried reboot. No luck.
Used ACS Recovery to do a pre-ROM wipe before flashing the new ROM.
Can't post in developers forum yet, so hopefully someone here can help. I read every page and every entry in the applicable forum for the ROM I flashed, but no one reported this problem or solutions.
Any ideas? I'd rather not have to flashback to stock or whatever. I've seen plenty of helpful posts for other bugs in the ROM. Just nothing for this. HELP!

Backup that rom... flash a different rom... if bluetooth works then its that rom... btw I would strongly suggest not using acs recovery... use cwm 5.0.2.7... it is the officially supported recovery for our epics! Also acs does not play well with mtd roms so that may be your problem!

Maybe it worked for YOU but it is highly recommended to use CWM 5.027 to convert and note that if you want to convert and restore nandroid data it must come from 5.027.

Thank u all for the replies. I DID use ACS to do the pre-rom wipe, but I thought CWM got changed afterwards, somewhere in the process of flashing the new ROM, etc. Funny that several of you mentioned the possibility of that being the issue. I went to boot into recovery to check, and my phone bricked. #*(#@$%&. So, I had to odin back to stock and then root again, then use Titaniun just to get to my pre-ROM settings. I'm just gonna go without the custom ROM for now.

You mean sponged, not bricked. As long as there is life you are not bricked. Just grab the official CWM 5.027 and flash that. When doing conversions like that don't use ROM Manager and all should be well. When in doubt, wipe wipe wipe.
First a little background. I am not new to the android world whatsoever. I don't post much but have been lurking for years. I had a Verizon GS3 and just recently switched to T-Mobile a few days ago and obviously bought a T-Mobile GS3. My vzw phone had no problems. But for some reason my T-Mobile phone will not boot any kernel I try to flash. Roms flash fine but when I flash a kernel everything goes fine in recovery but my phone won't boot past the splash and I end up having to restore a backup. I know I'm flashing the right kernels. I am on touchwiz based ROMs and haven't tried any aosp Rom because for the first time ever I actually prefer an OEM skin to aosp. So basically am I missing something obvious. Anyone else having thus problem. On Verizon I had to root and unlock the bootlosder. From what I understand tmobiles bootliader was not locked down and all I had to do was root. Like I said. I've tried every touch wiz Rom and every touch wiz kernel with each Rom and none will boot past the splash screen. I always wipe dalvik and cache but even tried wiping data every time too and keep getting the same result. Any input would be appreciated. . Thanks in advance.

Shouldn't need to do any wiping of any kind. I only use AOSP/AOKP, though. May I ask why you even bother with custom kernels? They honestly seem like a waste of time to me.
Im just flash happy. Like to try them out. I've been on Verizon for many Years and am used to the developers over there. I'm still getting used to the devs over here. Don't know any of there work. I'm sure its all good though. Been using imoseyons lean kernel since the thunderbolt back in the day and have stuck with them. Just my personal preference. I'd like to try some of tmobolrs kernel devs work but like I said I can't get a single one to boot.

What kernels have you tried to flash? There are a couple that have ICS builds. Also, what version of CWM are you using?
I've tried all the tw kernels. Every single one with 2 different ICS tw ROMs. I'm not using the leaked jb tw. I'm stickung with the more stable ICS ROMs for now. I just don't understand. I've tried every one. I've been flashing a long time and don't get it. Im kinda new to Samsung though. First Samsung was the galaxy nexus. Didn't ever use Odin with it. Does anyone flash kernels with Odin. Maybe I should try that. And to answer your question I've tried twrp and the latest version of cwm from rom manager. And of course I'm using the ICS TW version of the kernels im trying.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
It could just be your phone doesn't like them. There is another guy on CM10 and AOKP that can't get custom kernels to boot either.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
The kernel source code was never released for any build from UVALH2 and beyond. So most of our kernels will only work with UVALEM and UVALG1 builds.
We got kind of lucky I think and ktoonsez att kernel was brought over and works. I think there's one or two others that work now too.
As far as described here go I think we've got some of the best! For an outstanding rom you should try FreeGS3. It works with most of the kernels and is an awesome stable rom. If you want a later build try wildcards XquiziT v70 based on UVALH2. Use ktoonsez kernel with it.
And just to note, the stock kernel is surprisingly good. So give it a fair shot as well. Though I can definitely see some potential advantages of custom ones as well.

Whatever you do................
Be sure to double check before you flash that kernel. Had my first SGS3 for 12 days before hard brick set in. Terrible disease it is.......! I had to adopt a replacement shortly after to cope with the pain of the loss. Back on my feet again now though and soarin' higher than giraffe vagina on the things I learned in my days off for mourning. I can tell ya I've personally flashed the lean kernel and kt-747 with no issues. My problems were with siya mainly.
Guys, I have a serious problem.
It's similar to the one of the thread-opener.
The diference is that I cant get ANY ROM to boot, WITH the stock kernel.
And i do like the guide says: wipe/factory reset, wipe chache, wipe dalvik cache and then flash the ROM.
Everything works fine til the ROM finished flasing and runs a reboot.
My S3 shuts down screen, then turns screen on with the "Samsung Galaxy SIII-GT-I9300" and then thats it!
All i can do is to go in download mode or recovery mode. I can also flash CWM and so on, but after flashing ROMs it won't boot!
Is it possible that i broke the device by formating internal sd-card with the stock recovery tool?
Did it, after I tried to install Wickedv6 ROM and after both times when it rebooted it just reinstalled stock ROM. So i thought, ok delete the internal sd-card, so no stock ROM on it any more.
Also tried this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1875923

Also tried to fix the problem by rooting and then flashing ROM. No help.

Hi there!
I have had an s3 for a few days now and love it!.
Any TW rom and my camera works just fantastic.
Any cm10/aokp/miui/etc rom and I just cant use the camera no matter what app I use to try it, whether it be the built in app or camera360/etc.
Driving me nuts and would love someone to help me. Anyway research I have done hasnt told me what I'm doing wrong.
I wipe cache/dalvik/factory reset/system before each rom. I have tried different kernels but nothing has helped.
Any gurus out there have any ideas on what I can do to fix this?
Your install process would be and please link the files you are flashing... I'll try and help you. I've seen a few people mention this the past couple days.
The most recent I tried to flash was Illusion v1.1.18 - (d2tmo, d2att & d2vzw) - 1|18|13 from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2037028
I downloaded Illusion-v1.1.18-d2tmo.zip and gapps-jb-20121212-signed.zip.
I went into recovery which is twrp and the most recent version. I installed it with the goo.im app.
When in recovery I did:
1) Factory Wipe
2) Wipe Cache
3) Wipe Dalvik
4) Wipe System
I would then click Install and select the rom file, and after it succesfully flashed I would then flash the gapps file. All were successful.
I would then reboot and the rom would boot up fine. I setup my google account and all that then for the heck of it I would reboot.
I then would try the camera app and it would complain that it couldnt connect to the camera basically. I went into the play store and tried a free version of camera 360, puddle camera, etc and all would not work.
I went back into recovery, wiped cache and dalvik again, hopped on one foot, faced east, and clicked my heels together. Upon reboot the camera does not work.
I have wiped all that and tried to install [Kernel][JB] Leankernel: Minimalistic Kernel for D2TMO/D2ATT (AOSP) v2.3 [1/17/13] which flashed fine. Upon reboot I could change voltages to undervolt, mess with governors but cameras still do not work.
I have a backup of two TW roms (one stock) and both of the those roms work beautifully with whatever camera I try, including the built in/stock camera.
I hoped I didn't leave out something. If there is something I missed than I'm an idiot because it seems like I am really missing something.
Thanks for your help.
I don't see any reason your steps lead to that, the exact steps I take every time to flash. I'm researching but in the mean time, go to app manager and wipe cache and data from gallery... Are you using the same Gapps over and over on each try? Might wanna try a different set.

I did that earlier with no luck.
I just force stopped on gallery, wiped cache/data, rebooted, and I tried the camera only to get the same message.
Thank you for that tip but I will continue my research also.
Just because I looked at about phone.
Model of phone is SGH-T999 (just in case someone thinks I'm in the wrong forum"

AOKP Version is Illusion v1.1.18 d2tmo

I have downloaded this gapps twice for the last rom http://goo.im/devs/itsmikeramsay/gapps-jb-20121212-signed.zip.
For the miui rom there was a gapps that was specific to miui and had miui in the name. The miui rom's camera didnt work.
I'll look for a different gapps if that might be the problem but since I have tried a couple roms and a few different gapps I feel that might not be the issue.
I still will give it another try though. Just have to find another gapps to try.
try these just in case they're corrupted. http://d-h.st/dtk these are the ones I use

It had JB on it when I got it almost 2 days ago. I tried to do an OTA when I got it but it said I was up to date.
Let me do a restore to stock and see what version it is.
Edit: Restored stock. Says android version 4.1.1, Kernel 3.0.31-370274se.infra, Build number JR003L.T999UVDLJA
Was it already rooted?

It was new, out of the box. I watched the guy unrap it. It is one of the newer grey metal color looking ones. It was not rooted. I did that. Should I do an Odin to bring the device back to complete stock and start from scratch?
Will take a while since I have no idea where to start with all that
Thats the best suggestion I have. Maybe someone else will step in with an idea.

Hey thanks again for your help. I ended up falling asleep but installed Wicked V6 (tw based rom) and liking it enough that I will wait on a aokp/cm10.x rom until I get up the motivation to try again.
I'm sure I'll get an itch for a different rom in about a week though

I backed up Wicked and loaded up my original rom that I wanted to try.
The fix in the said thread fixed me right up, camera works fine.
All this trouble because of one 350ish kb file
Thanks for checking on my issue.

Hello,
My friend has a galaxy s2 and recently his son somehow managed to get a virus on it. I have a lot of experience with rooting, flashing, and all that fun stuff. Especially with the t mobile galaxy s2 since I have one as well. He asked me If I can restore his phone back to a new rom since it was acting weird. For example, if he saves a new contact or installs or uninstalls an app, if he reboots all those changes are gone. It is as if the phone keeps rebooting to a certain time. I am guessing a virus is causing this.
So the first I thought of was to download a rom (Jedi Knight 6) and did the typical wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache/dalvik, then flashed the rom with success. When I rebooted the phone, it was still the same, as if I did nothing in the recovery. I thought it may have been because I was CWM, so I installed goo manager and flashed the TWRP recovery through there. It gave me success but when I boot to recovery, it is still CWM. At this point I decided to use ODIN to restore it to the original stock rom. I followed the instructions here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1858435. First time I got a fail on ODIN, removed the battery and tried again and it gave me pass and the phone rebooted. When it did guess what? It was as if I did nothing.
I ran out of ideas. I did everything I can think of. I used the custom recovery to try to wipe everything and flash a new fresh rom but that failed. I even tried ODIN to restore it to stock but that failed as well. Is there anything else I can try? I did a lot of research but couldn't find anything, maybe someone can give me some tips?? Thank You in Advance!!
Can someone please help me?
This sounds very strange. You said even after you Odin back to stock it reverted back to what he had before you reinstall the stock ROM ? Was the phone rooted before you tried to help him?
Did you try an aosp ROM?

Yea I know its strange, and its not like I have no experience with these things. I was very suprised when that happened. Yes it was and is still rooted, Im sure because super su is on it. He is currently running JediMindTrick (ROM by ptmr3). I still dont know what to do. I will try an aosp rom, but if odin didnt do it I doubt another rom would lol.

Try wiping cache and dalvik. Then format system, data, cache using cwm. Factory reset then flash new rom using cwm or odin.
