Re: Samsung Galaxy S3
 

can you get into download mode?

Have you removed the battery waited a while then after putting it back together tried to get into recovery mode?

If you can not get into recovery or download mode a stock rom is not going to help you

Re: Samsung Galaxy S3
 

I can get to download mode. Its the only thing I can get to.

Re: Samsung Galaxy S3
 

that is a phew situation then :-)

Your 2 options are install a stock rom as you say or install cf root with CWM

Re: Samsung Galaxy S3
 

Am just going to use the UK stock JB ROM.

Mine has restarted its self a few times for no reason but works fine once its restarted

Re: Samsung Galaxy S3
 

I've found Android to be surprisingly robust myself, since my first Android handset (I've now had 5) I've not once, ever, had a situation where I had to hard reset it for any reason, every error, bug, or fault it had come up with could be fixed without a reset (though in some cases, needing ADB)

My S3 certainly restarts itself a lot less than my S2.

Re: Samsung Galaxy S3
 

This is my 4th android phone and never had any issues before.

Well it's dead, reinstalled firmware and Odin stated it completed ok. However it starts to reload and I get the android on screen with the spinning thing in its belly, but then it restarts again and again on a loop.

Need to take it in to the store I purchased it from. Possibly a piece of hardware has failed.

My phone has just updated to jellybean, one useful feature before the upgrade was the quick settings bar for switching on off wifi, gps, sound etc. One button is now missing which is the notification button, this was useful for turning off the sounds to email and text when phone had to be left of for alarm clock to work, does anyone know where this has now gone or is it replaced with new button called blocking mode, if so how do you setup to mute email and text temporary.

Re: Samsung Galaxy S3
 

It's not missing. It's now called blocking mode and is more in depth. You can block the led from flashing, and calls and texts. Or a combination. Also possible to add exceptions so certain numbers can get through. Also possible to set for certains times of the day.

Re: Samsung Galaxy S3
 

Except now it doesn't actually work.

Re: Samsung Galaxy S3
 

I updated to JB yesterday and i like it. Dont see many differences but i can see a few changes. I have turned off Google Now so i save battery. I had some issues with Direct Call and Wifi issues while i was on ICS and at moment now im on JB it seems all ok

I also found the secret Android game from the settings.

To do this go to settings > about device > and where it says Android Version 4.1.1 tap it 4 times really quick you then get a picture of a JB with a face on it, press and hold that and a game comes up where you have to flick the JBs off the screen

Re: Samsung Galaxy S3
 

I am still getting quite a lot of lag most times also when i had a phone call it took ages for the CID to kick in. It showed the number then the Name ID but took ages

Re: Samsung Galaxy S3
 

Is there a fault with the copy and paste function, I'm trying to copy text from an email so I hold onto screen and you get two cheese shaped pointers, which are supposed to be beginning and end of what you want copied,but both pointers keep moving, it will stay on a line but will not stay at beginning of text and end of text, am I doing something wrong or is there an easier way of copying text in an email
