[Q] Device backup (samsung cloud) not working - Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help &

Has anyone managed to get the Samsung backup to work (the inbuilt sms/mms/call log one in settings)??
In previous roms (4.1.1 and LLKC port) I tried to backup my sms but it always froze at 0% for a min or so then eventually failed. I thought this might be due to the "modified" status of my device but have had no confirmation.
Now im running LL3 stock official (i9305) and when I go to device backup I immediately get a black screen and settings force close. Is this the same for other people? my install was non-wipe.
Hope someone can shed light on the matter. It would be a useful function imo .

[Q] [MIUI ROM]Problems and Troubleshooting

I just performed a fresh installation of the MIUI RC5 on my i9000 and Have a few problems.
1. My network provider is not being recognized at all. (Even after a couple of restarts)
2. My IMEI is not being displayed. (Even after deleting the efs folder using Root Explorer.)
So please respond immediately as I wish to continue using this ROM.
Thanks in advance
you have to restore the efs backup that you should of made before the installation.
that will restore the IMEI and give you network coverage.
if you cant do that, re-flash the ROM, and if it still doesnt work, you will have to flash back to froyo with pit and repartition and start the whole process again.
Thx a lot dude. Trying it right now. Hope it works *fingers crossed* http://media.xda-developers.com/images/icons/icon11.gif
I tried to install MIUI through Rom manager and now the phone just flashes SAMSUNG but never boots up. I have Infuse-rooted-CWM installed. Please HELP
Thanks
Galnet MIUI v4.0
WIFI Sleep policy does not seem to work. It is set to sleep when screen is turn off, but it never turn off. This is draining up the phone battery. Any one any idea?

So you have the Samsung Infuse? Because this is the Galaxy S forums and I don't think Miui is even available on the Infuse so no wonder it isn't working(and the way you installed it isn't the correct procedure anyway). You can probably install a fresh official rom for your phone some how through odin but I'm not familiar with the Infuse. Best to go to the Infuse forums and ask. Hope this helps

[HELP] Text messages randomly disappearing, return after reboot

Hi everybody, I've recently bought a new I8190N, about two weeks ago, coming from a rooted but messed up Galaxy Ace, I decided to don't root it at all just for now, but a few days ago, when I was texting my gf (with the stock sms app), all new messages I was sending were not sending at all, the sending spinner just stayed there forever.
Then, I pressed back and after a millisecond conversations thread became empty, saying "no messages, to write a new message... etc", so I tried backup sms's with Sms Backup & Restore and it did, they were all still there, but neither stock sms app nor go sms pro displayed them. After a reboot, they magically reappeared. From then, it happened once a day independently from how many messages I am sending.
Also, I read of similar problems on lots of other Samsung phones, but no solution was found all over the internet, so, is this a Samsung's Jelly Bean bug or could it be just an app that interferes with mmssms.db? Or a carrier related issue? :banghead: Thanks to everyone who will help me

Why don't you try a newer firmware with ODIN? As far as I know, first release of 4.1.2 had some bugs.
flash a newer firmware, or software update your phone.
for SIII Mini, I think you need a CM. stock is too buggy and slow to use
I'd try when I will be ready to start with flashing like I did on my previous phone, till then will try to bear the bug... the only thing is that on my NFC model I'll need to flash a different country firmware (if I want to stay stock) for N, or also the non-N firmwares will work? (Obviously losing NFC capability) for what concerns CyanogenMod, I like it but I'm more like a stock-lover thank you guys
I flashed another firmware (mine is from december while newest is from july), done a factory reset and when I restored SMS with SMS Backup & Restore, when it was approximately reaching the restored messages number of a particular message (a message I sent with GO SMS Pro containing emoji coming from the go sms emoji plugin) message app has crashed and bug happened again, so I revert to my origina FW but this time I'm not restoring that SMS. Hope that will fix my bug, because I'm thinking it was a corrupted mmssms.db database file... I'll see and post what happens so everyone having my problem will probably find a solution!
Ok, just appened again, don't know what to do :crying:
Flash CM 10.1 :thumbup:
Sent from my GT-I8190 using xda app-developers app
I found that the culprit was Viber, it goes in conflict with sms databases and causes the bug (maybe because it has the permission to read and edit sms) so after uninstalling it I've never experienced the bug again... it's a little bit strange I think

[Q] Annoying notification about Service Update every time after boot the phone

Hi.
I found later that the problem is not caused by Titanium Backup. It seems it would happen as long as I switch the phone to GSM/UMTS mode (Global Mode).
I have a Sprint M8 but live in the UK.
I have been using custom rom (most of the time with InsertCoin) since last October and I enjoyed them.
Yesterday I backup all my data with Titanium Backup and then upgraded the correct firmware to android 5.0 Lollipop. Afterwards I installed the InsertCoin Rom Sense 7.
Everything is fine before I restored system data and reboot into the system. After it loads the system, it seems OK for only 10 seconds, then a notification pop-up, saying:
Service Update:
The operation is not allowed under GSM network, please switch to CDMA network.
I can only click OK and then it seems normal.
But the problem is every time I reboot the phone, this notification appears. It is really annoying. I am wondering if there is any way to permanently disable it?
I have been using InsertCoin and ViperOne rom on this phone before, and it works very well with Titanium Backup. Previously, this notification did not appear after I restore data with Titanium Backup.
Thank you very much.

After Binary Update - Cannot Make Outgoing Calls...???

Hello Everyone...
Posting here first rather than in the "Update Failure" thread because I'm not so sure I have a "failure" with the update....just an issue after the udpate.
I have 2 cloned HTC M9 phones. I say "cloned" as they are exactly the same make, model, ROM, etc (one business, one personal phone). They have the following information if needed:
Sprint HTC M9
SuperSU Free v2.65
Custom ROM ViperOneM9 3.5.0 with no custom kernal
Android 5.1
HTC Sense 7.0
Kernal (standard) 3.10.49-perf-g26c593c
[email protected] #1
SMP PREEMPT
I updated some apps this as I normally do through Google Play. A little while afterward I was prompted to update the SU Binary. I did so on one of my phones. I hit the TWRP option (on the right side of the prompt screen), nothing happened, phone did not reset so I rebooted into recovery. The update ran automatically and the phone rebooted.
I noticed two issues (perhaps there are more). The huge problem is that I cannot make OUTGOING calls. I use a custom dialer PixelPhone Pro. I click on a contact to dial and nothing happens. I type in number to dial, hit the green "send" button to make the call, nothing happens.
I also tried the stock Phone app....same thing, cannot dial out.
I attempted to update the Profile and PRL for the phone, however, as that appears to need to make a "special call" that function is not working either
The other problem I noticed is with an app I have called Quick Settings. The app is always accessible through the pull-down notifications on the phone. Although the app is still installed and functional, it no longer appears in the pull-down notifications. I tried to reset the option to show it there (turning the option off and back on) and it will not show up despite the proper setting chosen.
I still have full root access as I tried a couple root apps (such as Titanium Pro) and have full root access.
I have been prompted on my other phone to update the SU Binary and I am concerned with doing so. Any idea why this is happening and how I can troubleshoot and fit my outgoing call issue??
THANK YOU all very much!!
Scott

**UPDATE**
Still problems....
Right after I first updated the binary the "only" problem was that I could not make calls which I could use the other functions of the phone. I rebooted the phone and I cannot reach any function of the phone because I constantly get the message "...the process com.android.phone has stopped" obviously related to the previous problems.
I dirty-flashed the ROM...that did no help. I even tried to flash an older SuperSU version (I don't know what that would have done....I'm running on HOPE now ) and that didn't help. Re-dirty-flashed the ROM a second time. Again that didn't help.
I flashed an old backup and THAT WORKED fine. Problem is that the backup is 6 months old. I could quit and totally clean/wipe/install the ROM and start again from scratch but I reeeeeeallly don't have time for that at the moment.
Is there ANY way I can simply get my com.android.phone process back?? Why did all this happen in the first place??
ANY help is greatly appreciated!! THANK YOU!!!

Restore from HTC Backup "stuck"

I got my HTC One M7 Dual SIM (t802w) phone back from service. Before I passed to the service I wiped my phone with factory recovery menu. I would like to restore my phone status from HTC Backup as it was before sent to service. Basically looks right (SMS, WIFI, calls restored) but when "restoring application" (or similar because I am using in Hungarian language) seems that goes into a loop saying "58 of 64" and start over and over again. At the same time application installation in progress. When application installation itself was ended the "restoring application" loop still happens. I go to the Google Play and there was around nine more update. I updated all. Then got still updates even Google Play says there is no upgrades, for example fot HTC Backup application itself. The mentioned loop still displaying "58 of 64" and start from "1 of 64". When upgraded HTC Backup the loop disappeared but restoring process is finished (or canceled). Then I am not able to run manually restoring process because the system says that my already restored. That means I lost (or was not able to restore) a lot of settings for applications. My widgets settings and my homepage setup gone (or was not able to restore).
Is there any known reason for this? Any process to solve this loop and able to restore my phone? It is very frustrating that I have backup and I cannot use therefore I need to setup all my application again.
I am using the latest stock HTC firmware and my device is not rooted. I found some topic similar to this but those are because there was some version or firmware changing. I am not like that I would like to restore exactly to the same firmware as it was.
