[Q] s3 update - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

Hi guys, happy holidays. My S3 went into some kind of weird update last night and now my fonts are all weird and this really annoying cartoonish face on my text messages ...can anyone help me get my phone back to where it was, this is driving

It's hard to help with out any info from you. Are you rooted? What is your baseband? Version number? Sounds like your phone updated to 4.3.

Well I hate to say this. But sounds like your phone auto updated to 4.3 if you didn't do it. You now have the knox bootloader as well. We're you stock? Rooted at all?
If your stock and don't care about root that's fine. Go to settings /my device/scroll down to fonts select what you would like

The joys of having a developer device I guess, lots of new toys.
By the time other manufacturers release ICS we will be on at least 4.1 I reckon lol
ahhhhhhhhh the joy of having the CDMA version, got 4.0.2 the second I activated my google account and since updates are coming directly from google and not Verizon, we should see this pretty soon.
http://androidandme.com/2011/12/dev...s-devices-will-be-updated-directly-by-google/
I have 4.0.2 since yesterday. Flashed stock google images for 4.0.2 but the excellent post-launch support from Google is pretty impressive at this point.
In the uk still stuck on 4.0.1!

Not every update for the CDMA version will have a GSM counterpart, and vice versa. Just look at how the NS and NS4G get updates.

That explains why my device is still stuck on V4.0.1 !
Just saying, this is already in Sense, glad to see it coming to AOSP finally!

I was in the same boat until I decided to jump over to 4.0.2 yakju. Just back up everything and you'll always be able to revert to 100% yakjuxw stock with a locked bootloader.
need help, how come it says on my cmd prompt "error: cannot load ' bootloader-maguro-primekk15.img'
im in the right directory though where I downloaded the zip file..

While I agree with you in general, it seems like the two incremental updates we see target software that would benefit both devices. We'll find out in due time, I s'pose...but I like that Google is paying attention and keeps rolling these updates out.

Did you do fastboot devices to make sure your device was recognized first?
Are you already oem unlocked?
Make sure your bootloader and fastboot files are both in the same folder (easier to flash).
So basically nexus s received 4.03 first ahead of galaxy nexus?

I have no battery drain and in fact, my GN lasts hours longer than my SGS2....

Texting Issue

Had another quick question.......
I have noticed over the past few days, when I am texting with someone, it places their text response above the text I sent them first......
All my conversations look weird.....any ideas of why this might be happening?
I am on a rooted S3...
which texting app are u using? have u tried more than one? stock ? go sms pro? does it happen with both? what rom are u using? u need to be a little more detailed if u expect help
I had this same issue I fixed it by going to Date and Time in the system settings and selecting Automatic date and time. For some reason that isn't on by default and I haven't had that issue since.

Interesting.......I have always had mine set to automatic......but once you mentioned it, I went and looked and it was not set to automatic. I just recently rooted my phone, and now that I think about it, I have been having this issue ever since......so lets hope this fixes it.
Thanks for your help

software updates

hi
I,ve just replaced a nexus7 2013 after i hit the multitouch problem,everything was fine with it whilst it was running build JWR66N,but then i got a notification to update to the latest version.
I was reluctant to do so,but eventually decided to take the plunge,so i updated,it put build JSS15Q on my nexus...result was terrible multitouch issues,basically the update had inflicted my "working perfectly tablet" with the dreaded multitouch issue,needless to say i was gutted.
My new nexus again comes with the JWR66N build,my question is,can i stop the tablet auto downloading the new update(JSS15Q),i know i don't actually have to install it,but i was told that if i power of my nexus,it will automatically install the update when i reboot,is this true?
Don't want to go anywhere near that JSS15Q update,or any future updates at all if possible.
To be honest,i'm not that interested in having bleeding edge versions,if my nexus works flawlessly on the JWR66N build then i could'nt care less if i never updated ever again,if it ain't broke,don't fix it.
You should look at the two posts in my signature. They will cover everything you need.
BTW the update won't automatically install when you reboot. You can also turn off the notification in the framework services configuration.

Okay,thanks Sfhub,can I just ask though,I have the jss15q update sitting in my notification panel,until I specifically allow it,will it just stay there,I mean,will it at some point install itself without any action by me.
What happens if I reboot,will that instigate the update process.
As long as I'M in control of when it gets installed I'm happy,I know it fixes the GPS issue,but I literally never use GPS,so I'm not bothered about fixing that.
Would really really appreciate some help on this,cheers pal

Correct
settings->apps->all->google services framework
uncheck show notifications
if you get tired of the notification (it'll probably get rid of other Google notifications also)

This shouldn't happen, though you might hit the notification by accident then panic and ask it to continue.

[Q] build.prop change N2 to N3 without black screen possible?

Long story short I have a Note 2. ROM to JB 4.3. Changed the model in build.prop to SN-N900 and then got the black screen of death on reboot. Did an adb shell and pushed the old build.prop and got it working again. Does anyone know what I may have missed doing so that the phone will work after that change? Trying to get the Gear Manager app by doing the model change in build.prop
Many thanks in advance.

Does the Gear app actually work on even a rooted stock ROM...NVM AOSP?
I don't know offhand...but I'd be terribly surprised if it worked any differently than AllShare, in that even rooting your device breaks it.

I do have the app installed, however unlike your image the x/18 installation does not occur. It shows it and then goes away showing just the nfc connection screen. Any thoughts on making this function? I have paranoid android 3.9 rom, jellybean 4.3.
The watch is found by Bluetooth and they connect but then disconnect because I get a, "device unsupported" error.
Cheers!

You're probably SOL outside of a stock unrooted ROM that officially supports the device. Sounds like Samsung indeed coded it like AllShare etc.

You are probably right, but I keep hoping. I was able tonchange the build.prop file to the Note 3 model SM-N9005. I thought that would help, but no.

Download /install app "Phone info" for Samsung from Playstore. It will give more info. Especially CSC info. Meanwhile take a look at your APN. Sometimes that gets changed & needs to be reverted. Something from your phone is apparently ID ing the phone.
