I feel I have tried every ROM that our S3 section has to offer. But honestly, I think Samsung did a fantastic job on making the stock ROM. I always find myself going back to stock. But after switching back to stock I miss the simple things that are helpful. Such as a modded power menu, so that I can get into recovery. Is there anywhere where I can find this mod? Or would any devs give me something I could flash? I'm wanting to stay on LI8 (until further update). Could anyone help me with this?

I use Quick boot from the market, it has options for booting to recovery and download mode. The app doesn't show up in the power menu, but it's easy to use.

Li8 is not stock, it's a leak. Fyi.

These menus won't work after JB update. Anyone know how to set phone to prefer 4g after the new update?

Tmo is edge or 3g. A very fast 3g they call 4g.
Download battery monitor widget. Add the widget. Click the widget. Select tests from the menu on the bottom. Select device information. Scroll down and you can set radio preferences. Back out using the back button and it will save your setting.

Right. No 4g per the actual definition. Good marketing ploy I guess. Is there a way to use a shortcut key code like before on ics?

I can't find it... I wonder why they removed it.
Someone put some list together of over 30 codes. You will have to search because I am posting from my phone. The battery monitor widget works great. I have used it on all my android phones. Give it a try.

When I go in the regular network settings I can't change it to wcdma only either. It's stuck on auto mode.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I just tried setting wcdma preferred and it worked using the widget I described.

Just tried it. Takes you to the menu but it won't stick. I'm going to wipe and reinstall.

I changed back to the LJ4 radio. It works the best for me. That may be the difference. Sorry. Did not think of that earlier. My bad.

Just flashed back to root stock jb and it works fine. Just off been a rom issue? Hmm....

Just curious... What rom did you flash after jellybean update? I plan on playing around with some of the custom roms tomorrow.
Infamous. I dirty flashed it so that may have been why the radio would not stick but, I'm not sure. Wicked is a nice ICS ROM. I have tried a few of wild's ROMs too. They were good. Haven't tried many others.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Agree on wicked. Can't wait for v8.
Just download Phone info from the market. It's so much easier than entering the code and easier then using battery monitor

I just updated my phone yesterday, and im having two issues. The main issue is the flasshing red boarder around the entire screen the appears mostly when switching apps, going home, and turning on/off. It even happens during the boot-up.
Second, my keyboard is lagging. I have all of the "feedback" features turned off and it still does it. No 3rd party boards installed. I really like the new keyboard and I wont have some third party app developers recording every keystroke.
Any ideas?

I wasn't aware there even was on OTA update to 4.1.1. Far as I knew you could only do it through Kies. Maybe try redoing it through that? Or find the stock image on here and flash it through Odin.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium
Check the developer options. One of them is set to update when the screen draws. Just disable anything in there you don't need.

It was due to user error.
I had strick mode on for some reason.

It was a dubuging feature turned on.
4.1 is available OTA for AT&T right now.
I dont know when it became available, but its really nice. I use adw pro launcher always on all my android devices so I dont get the full experience of 4.1. I really love what they did with the keyboard and the dropdown, but I really wish they kept the data switch there.
My battery life is not as good anymore though...
Anyway, let me know if its not available to you.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
Nvmnd it didnt completely fix the problem.
It doesnt do it nearly as much, but its still there. I will redo from kies.

Hello People!
I am afraid that I somehow ended up with my phone bricked. I have been running Stock Gingerbread but rooted. I upgraded to 2.3.6. recently and this morning, for reasons yet unknown to me, my phone was dead.
It was on the charger all night so the battery should be charged all right. When I turn it on, it vibrates, but that is it for about 30secs. After that the keyboard and the capacitive buttons below the screen light up and remain turned on for seemingly indefinite time. I cannot test if the phone responds as the screen is ... black. What might this be ? Are there any peopl ewith experience ?
Kind regards
mlksh
You could always try to odin to stock ics? Can you get into download mode? If so there are guides to get to stock ics from there and guides to root it. :thumbup: gingerbread is old school

But the phone failed for no apparent reason - I have never heard of any phone behaving like this. I try to hook it up when I get back home on Tuesday. I am actually wondeirng if it might be a hardware fault ? But if it is ... then why does the keybaord light up and glow indefinitely ?
Can you get into download mode? If so then most likely a software issue. I believe you hold power button and volume up till its in dl screen.

it sounds like something wasn't upgraded right. Try going into download mode (pwr + up) and use odin to flash UCLJ3 (ics) and try to see if that fixes the os not booting up completely

Hopefully someone can help the new guy out. I have been trying to get themes and lock screens to work for days now on my GS3 running CM10.1.0 and nothing seems to work right. Using the theme manager in the settings I keep getting an error that says my screen resolution is not right.
I have also tried using CWM recovery to load the lock screens and it says the zip was successful, but doesn't work.
Any thoughts?

It should still set reguardless of the screen resolution.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
I know it should, but there are only pieces that set. And sometimes when I set it once part sets then I redo it again and more set.
As it comes to the lock screens they don't set at all.

Take a look at this thread. Be sure to read everything.
The golden rule is to set the default, reboot, then set the new theme...

Try Jedi Mind Trick, I'm using it right now and it's great. I'm using it with the Tiberius kernel (I don't think I spelled it right lol), but you HAVE to let the rom settle in for at least 10 mins, otherwise it'll just start giving problems such as random reboots, force closes, battery life issues, etc. It's based on Touchwiz 4.1.2 so you won't have any camera issues.
to the rescue
