not sure how much action this sub forum gets anymore, but thought I'd try :) I have an old S3 that I'm trying to setup to for my 10 year old. Ultimately I'm going to do a FDR and wipe the phone, but I first want to download the photos. Just plugged it in to my Windows 10 laptop and I'm getting...

Hi all. This is my second question in this forum. I have a Galaxy S3 that has been retired from active use as a phone. However it has all of my birding ID apps on it and I would much rather have it in my pocket when out in the field/woods than my S7. My problem is that even with WiFi off and...

I'm using a Galaxy S3 using the AT&T stock 4.4.2 configuration. The performance overall seems sluggish. I've already gone through the usual checklist of deleting/disabling unused apps and files (except for the built-in ones as I don't have root). Would installing a custom ROM and/or rooting...

Hello guys, I know this looks a lot like many other topics that solve this issue, but mine is a bit different. Note: This S3 had CynogenMod on it. Let's do this visually: If I keep holding the power button, like usual to put the mobile ON, this shows up: http://postimg.org/image/9sy70v7d7/...

I dropped Rom and Gapps into root folder of S3 GT-I9300. The Resurrection Remix rom update and Gapps will not show in SD card folder when I try to flash using TWRP. I did the other S3 update ok, so can't understand why this one is being iffy.. Sd card is mounted ok- that can be seen in...

I recently updated to Windows 10 (64-bit) and had no difficulty in connecting my Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 to my laptop. The problem started when I installed Kies 3 and it clearly updated the USB driver to the latest version 1.5.59.0. I have tried installing / uninstalling Kies 3 with and without...

Hello guys I'm new here. I just renamed the files "bootsamsung.qmg" to "bootsamsung.qmg.old" and "bootsamsungloop.qmg" to "bootsamsungloop.qmg.old" in order to get rid of the animations. And it did, but now that I want to delete the ".old" it won't let me do it. I've used Root Browser, ES File...

My phone is a Galaxy S3 SPH-L710 Android version 4.4.2. My touchscreen often (2-3 times a day) fails to work. The phone is working (I can give it voice commands, for example), but it doesn't acknowledge being touched at all. I can usually fix it by taking the battery out and then putting it...

I have CM12.1 nightly installed along with the corresponding gapps. I downloaded both off Galaxy S3 roms. When I try updating the OS, it automatically updates to CM13, which is fine, but I seem to be unable to use any of the corresponding apps rendering the phone essentially useless. Can't go...

sometimes I will be on my galaxy s3 and if it's at like 20-50% battery (even when it's charging) the screen flickers and the phone dies. when I turn it back on it's at 0%. also, I can prevent it from dying if I turn off the screen right when the flickering happens. I think it might be something...

Hi, My phone is stuck on the boot menu. I can't afford to do a factory reset right now as I need to back up my personal photos onto my laptop. Please help.

Hello to the Android World, I am on Samsung Galaxy S3 running on android 4.3 . My problem is that the S3 detects the WIFI, scans it from every part of the house perfectly fine. But it only gets connected when I am in the same room as the router. Whenever I move away from the room containing...

I've been trying to root my s3 triband model for a long time. The only threads I find give me half answers or are not very detailed. If anyone could please give me a great step by step what to do, it would be greatly appreciated!

My daughter has an S3 on Virgin Mobile USA. At one time she had (I think) 5 home screens set up. Over the past month or so, they have been slowly disappearing without her removing them, and as of today, she has only one remaining. Because the charging port is bad, she has an extra battery which...

Ok, I'll state where I'm at, and then I'll give you some background, hopefully that will help diagnose, because I certainly can't figure out the issue. Phone: Samsung Galaxy S3; SPH-D710T; My carrier: Boost; ROM OctOS-L "M6-Final-5.1.1-20151229" (based on Cyanogenmod 13-Lollipop ; Baseband...

My Samsung S3 home wifi on talktalk works well at home. But when I am away from home it tries to connect to free wifi's , Barclays for example but then fails saying its been disconnected either due slow wifi or unstable wifi. When I wife's s4 works fine , and my old iphone always worked well...

Hello, I'm running android 4.4.2 on my Verizon GS3. I have root access and I have successfully installed Safestrap, but every time I flash a rom (using a rom slot other than stock) I just get boot loop and it never works. The rom I'm trying to flash is the latest Cyanogenmod version for my phone...

Anyone else root their phones with it? It's what I ended up doing in order to achieve root. Installed TWRP after that, and nuked the stock ROM. Now running one of the AICP Marshmallow nightlies on my S3. Feels like a brand new device! Definitely won't go back to stock. All this might compel...

I've scoured the net countless hours off and on for 18 months. I've yet to find a root for my specific phone model, carrier, baseband etc. I am looking for someone who has done a root to the same phone and parameters I have. Also someone would be nice enough to be somewhat specific in their...

I have a Samsung Galaxy S3. It will be 2 yrs in August that I have had the phone. T Mobile is my carrier. For about the last month my battery has been draining. I bought a new battery and that is not the problem. After charging the new battery I was able to use it for 2 days without charging it...

Hello All, I searched on the forum before creating this thread - need some clarification. I dropped S3 onto the floor even though it had SEIDIO cover installed. The screen went from being 10% screen covered in a black to the entire screen going black in matter of few hours. My options: 1. Get...
