Never seen that before that is a new one. Is it on every screen or just home screen? Does the phone function normal besides that?

I heard that people who update jb from Kies, that's what happens... I never saw something like that on my phone because I install custom rooms (4.2.2) when my phone was 4.0.4 like many others.
It's just a comment in case that you want to try something like that.

Exactly... I don't use Kies for jellybean update... I said that he should try installing an aosp rom. I remember somebody had that issue and install a custom rom fixed (I don't speak English) sorry for my grammar and confusion.

Thanks for the post OP. I can't post my picture because of the new user 10 comment rule.
Exact same problem. This text overlay appears on the wallpaper. If I open up another program like Internet or settings or memo or messaging it does NOT appear.
If my phone is shut off and I turn it on, there is a split second where the text isn't on the wallpaper, but it will pop up eventually (I assume its because the OS isn't fully loaded up at that point)
This occurred after I upgraded to 4.1.2 via Kies.

Is it still there if you change wallpaper or use another launcher?

Affects all wallpapers, haven't tried another launcher and not really interested in it either. Is it worth trying to re-update? I would like to try the ODIN method but I gotta read up on it first.

It might be worth a shot. Here's an excellent guide

Thanks for the guide. I tried it. Same problem. The writing overlays my homescreen and apps drawer icons as well, but when I open up an actual app like internet or anything else it is not there.
The lock screen also does not have the text writing on it.
As mentioned before, if I turn off the phone and turn it on there is a few seconds where it isn't "loaded".
The same also happens when exiting an app such as internet or email. The wallpaper seems fine for a split second before the text is "loaded" back onto the wallpaper
Argh!!! It is slightly irratating. :crying:

That is strange. I know you said you didn't want to try another launcher, but if nothing else works it might be worth considering. I recommend Apex or Nova.

I wonder if it has anything to do with those phone number codes you can punch in on the dial pad...oh well. I might try a launcher...might

if you wipe and start fresh it might fix that
here is my guide on recovery, root and roms
hope this helps m8's

I change a downloaded theme of the play store and disappeared, but using the native interface reappears. Not have a definitive solution?
When upgrading either my bluetooth works.
PD: Sorry for my grammar.

Update my T989 to 4.1.2 but I get a black letters on the screen, but only in the same applications after entering no.
It's like when you aprece the background in windows is not genuine.
Operation does not affect me or anything just uncomfortable sight, an interim solution I found was using a different launcher.
But upon returning to the samsung native interface reappear me the happy lyrics.
Is there any solution for this?
Since reinstalling the ROM probe with ODIN like 4 times, give the corresponding wipe but still not solve.
Now the problem I found that my bluetook not turn on. These two are the only problems I found, after my T989 I works perfectly and with the same fluidity and even better than when I had the 2.3.6.

Both the posts you link have 1 problem each in them. The second probably isn't even related to the update but more the way it was flashed (op said flashed multiple times, why?) Or a problem with their sd card.
How is this so many complaints?

I'm just curious--what do you use the sync toggle for? I've never wanted to turn that off, but maybe there's an advantage that I'm overlooking. Is it just for when you need to conserve battery charge or data transmission?
I'm having an issue. I'm running stock. Since the update, when I use the S-pen with chrome or google search the samsung keyboard crashes. Which causes chrome to crash. Any ideas on how I can fix it?

I have seen a few other complaints but can't find the posts. Plus if you keep reading down the thread, there are people reporting problems. All these are enough to trigger a question.
I also sense some attitude in your post, I don't know where that comes from . I am simply asking a question, I don't know why that would upset people. If I offended you, my apologies.

Camera: Unknown error by ErrorCallback

Hey guys,
I have a used Ace 2 that I recieved today and I'm getting that error when I launch the camera app. Doesn't seem to have been rooted or anything wrong. Tried factory reset, clearing caches, memory card, taking location off settings and third party apps. Nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

Go to the shop to replace it
Sent from my Galaxy Ace 2 i8160
Which shop? I literally never go into town and don't think there are any samsung repair shops nearby. Also it's a used unit, so I guess may aswell just forget it or buy a whole new unit.. Does not feel like a software issue though.
Where did you bought it?
Edit: sorry, i just realized that it is used. What firmware does it have?
Sent from my Galaxy Ace 2 i8160
Oops; forgot about this thread. Thank you for taking your time to reply btw.
I'm not too sure which one is the firmware number but here is a screenshot of KIES which shows it:
http://i.imgur.com/q5RUG.png
and here's a screenshot of the about phone part in android:
http://i.imgur.com/C0PXI.jpg
As you can see from the android screenshot, it is rooted and I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2006183 - haven't had the time to flash anything else or do any other tweaks really. I'm not too sure what the issue is; the flashlight app does seem to work but very slowly as in the control is slow and sometimes it doesn't connect to the actual flash thingey with random errors. That Zoom MX app doesn't work either with a blank viewfinder and nothing happens when you press the take picture button.
That!s XXLK7 the newest firmware. Try to reflash stock rom. If it still doesn't work you have to replace the unit.

Bleh, tried that just now through the one at Sammobile. Unfortunately same problem, idk what's wrong. But I can't replace it as it's used, unless I spend another £150 which will take me like 5 months to earn..

[Q]Do you have the option to disable stock browser?

Hey guys. Was wondering if anyone who is running stock NOT rooted has the option to disable the Samsung stock browser in the settings application manager. Thanks!
I'm able to disable mine but I'm running a custom ROM with a tweaked stock browser. Need input on stock ROM not rooted. Thanks!

Anyhow, thanks elflip88. Thats what i was running too and i am able to disable it. But i am asking because the developer of light flow is absolutely thrilled to know i have fixed this issue that he has been trying to fix for months. But the only way to implement this fix is by either deleting the stock browser or flashing it through recovery.
I am working on modding the apk further to allow for a regular install without root. That way people who aren't rooted can still benefit. However, if one is not able to disable the stock browser, and they install my modded one, they will have two "internets" in their app drawer xD So im hoping stock system allows one to disable the browser.
Im stock not rooted and I can't disable it. It shows the disable button but I can't click it

There is multiview which allows you to split the screen and show more than one app. Besides this I have not noticed any other major positive changes either. But I gladly admit that while I do not really find much use for multiview, I do like the changes to the camera and gallery.
Then there is the additional bloatware added by AT&T.

You also get smart rotation, which will follow your eyes and not auto rotate if the phone is same orientation as your face (eg lying down)
And I was glad to see they took out the annoying side slide zooming!

I'm on Rogers in Canada up here.. I received this change Friday night (August 9th).
I had just finished that night restoring to stock after a bad flash and device encryption gone wrong..
Did they fix the default keyboard issue? That was the last straw before I rooted and rom'd.

This is a google thing and not a carrier thing. Google changed the way Android loads 3rd party apps, so that a secondary keyboard won't be loaded over the default.
what’s new in Android 4.1.2
Here’s what’s new in Android 4.1.2 for the Galaxy S3, according to AT&T:
Multi Window: You can open two different apps at the same time into two different windows on the mobile screen.
Auto Share Shot with NFC: By setting the camera to “Auto Share Shot” mode, you can quickly share your photos and videos by simply tapping their GALAXY S III with other NFC and S-Beam enabled devices
Camera features: Paper artist and best face options.
AT&T apps: AT&T services, Drive Mode, AT&T Locker; Family Map, Live TV, and SmartWifi have been loaded.
Other enhancements: Includes calendar, SD Card, and S-Voice enhancements.
I'm so new to this it's not even funny. I rooted my gs3 following the video posted here. As far as I know this means everything else is still stock right? No custom ROMs or Custom recovery or anything? My question is if all that is true can I just update OTA and reroot?
All the instructions I have found have mention flashing back to stock ROMs and using CWM Recovery. As far as I know I don't have any of that, so how do I go about updating?

This is all correct.
Personally, I simply flashed the OTA .ZIP file using CWM on my pre-rooted 4.1.1 (which maintained root)

Phone told me I could only postpone the update 3 times before it would force the download. I ended up just going in to SuperSU and choosing "Full Unroot". Then I downloaded and installed OTA. When it was finished I used CF Autoroot. Odin told my I was good but none of my apps had root permission. Looked in my app drawer and couldn't find SuperSU. Downloaded SuperSU from the play store and when I opened it I was immediately asked to grant super user permissions to those app I had previously tried to use. Everything seems to be working.
Will this or a similar process work when 4.3 is released next month, or is that an entirely different bag of worms?

I feel that 4.3 is just an incremental update, and as such the process should literally be the same.

Sorry I'm not advanced enough to pull logcat. I even read up on how to and still not sure. I am on 4.4 just figured I would state that after I flashed in recovery like you said to do, it said successful. Optimized apps on boot then Samsung keyboard stopped working message appears.
