Might be a silly question but the phone has this constant beep when it's fully charged, which has woken me up some nights ... Is it possible to disable this 'feature' without putting the phone on silent or anything like that?
Follow this http://androidforums.com/samsung-ga...ff-beep-when-you-plug-in-but-leave-sound.html But just rummage around for a full charge sound, and delete it. I agree, it's very annoying, the S2 used to have it before the newest update, would wake me up as well.
Not entirely sure what your asking for. This might point you in the right direction. MIGHT! http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1822
I have the North American model (SGH-I747) and updated to JB about a week ago. UI seems to be much more smooth now. However, there is one big issue. The default navigation app no longer has spoken street/road/highway names, and the voice just says turn left, turn right. Something is seriously wrong here as previously I used to get detailed navigation instructions. So far I have tried uninstalling updates for the google maps app but the issue is still there. Any one else noticing the same and know how to resolve this? And yes the voice has also been changed from male (british accent) to female (american accent).
18th December and T-Mobile UK have still not released Jellybean v4.1.1 for the locked S3s yet the Note II comes with Jellybean installed as does the 4G version of the S3. Despite numerous emails to support they've either ignored me or, when I have had a response, say something totally different each time. They really use utterly useless and I will not be renewing my contract with them. I noticed that Vodaphone are releasing v4.1.2 updates for their S3s and we UK owners are still waiting for the first Jellybean update!
My phone is locked to T-Mobile UK and only four months into a 2-year contract so I do not want to install custom ROMs at this point. Looks like the UK has received a spate of Jellybean updates for the GT-I9300, including one from Vodaphone, so maybe, just maybe, T-Mobile's will follow shortly?
LOL first 5 mins I had my SII home I had rooted it and installed DarkSithv4 ICS. Im on Tmobile US contract and 3 months in. Wish I had a SIII.
I may try it using Odin3 v3.07 as I've found the official v4.1.2 ROM for the UK, released last week. I must admit I'm a little apprehensive about doing it but it looks straight forward enough to do.
Just bought a Note II today off contract (keeping that unlimited data yarr) already got it rooted with the new CPU exploit, which also came with a patch to block other exploits. Damn nice big phone, now I need a case.
Using Odin is the easy method and should be quite safe. I do believe it is possible "unbrick" your phone using Odin if by some small chance something goes wrong. So don't be too worried.
I did the update last night so my S3 now has Jellybean v4.1.2 installed. Odin3 took 6 mins 10 seconds to do the update and it was actually easier to do then using Kies to be honest. Love the slicker feel of the interface, apps open noticeably quicker and I noticed my RAM has had a boost from 780 MB to 832 MB (is that because the stock ROM has no bloatware?). There's the odd moment of 'stickiness' on rare occasions otherwise the phone definitely feels more responsive. I didn't have to use developer mode or root the phone or anything like that; it was so simple to do. Very pleased with Jellybean plus Flash-based content still seems to work (I thought Flash was disabled in Jellybean?). I'd definitely recommend updating this way rather than waiting for the carrier to release their versions, particularly as it means you can use future updates as soon as Samsung releases them rather than waiting for a version stuffed with bloatware.
I always use odin to update my dad's S2, KIES sucks and said his generic UK S2 didn't support updates and was stuck on 2.3.3 even when ICS was out so do them all manually. Flash works if you upgrade to JB.
Thank you both for the info! Does using Odin mean we will loose all data or is it like the kies and ota update where everything remains the same ?
@ Badelhas - I did not lose any settings, data or apps when I used Odin3 to update my S3 to Jellybean v4.1.2 but, as with any device, it is always a good idea to do a backup of any important data before you do any firmware update.
