[Q] Samsung Dive - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone got Samsung dive to work for the new S3?
I have set up the account etc but when I use the website to track my phone or call it etc nothing happens.
I am on the O2 network in London. Any help would be much appreciated.

I set mine up yesterday and it setup fine and all, but when I went to track it...it did indeed track the phone, but it said my phone as at my home address when I was sitting in McDonald's. So...not sure why it did that but that is far from accurate!!

Calling and locating it worked from me with the original firmware. After installing Omega I tried again and it still works.

I cant get it working. I go through the motions as per below:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
...but remote controls stays "off".
Anyone who has managed to get this set up, at what point does that setting for on/off at the top become available please?

Probably silly question but have you slid the toggle to "ON" - I had that first time as well. Every time you slide the toggle over you have to re-enter your password again.

your 3G enable ?

I eventually got it to slide after various combinations of removing and re-adding the samsung account and ticking / unticking the location tick box

[Q] Data Roaming notification is annoying; can I disable it?

Whenever my phone switches to roaming on V I get this notification that my data connectivity was lost, even if I'm connected to WiFi. When I return to Sprint the message persists, i.e. it doesn't go away until I clear it.
Q: Can I disable this message somehow? It's friggin' annoying to have that little triangle in my notification area every 10 minutes (I don't get Sprint signal in my office, there is a V tower on the building literally next door).

I was trying to figure this out myself. I don't see anywhere in settings for us to turn it off though.
I also find this notification annoying.
And searched without any luck.

Thanks

Anyone else missing the optical reader app?

Ive done some searching but I cant much and also I cant find it on the play store.
My s4 is missing it as well, I tried a factory reset because I hadn't really set anything up yet and it didn't fix anything.

yea also Im missing the WIFI toggle on my pull down menu
Verizon disables that Wi-fi toggle on their android phones. Instead you have an ongoing notification for Wi-fi
Tried to take the apk from AT&T's firmware, app opens for a few seconds then crashes.
Seriously? This and Blocking Mode? (I'm sure a few others I haven't noticed too)
Why in the world does Verizon like to remove things that don't even affect them in anyway?
Also they renamed Easy Mode to Starter Mode.

Verizon is 100% about reducing help desk call volume.
They remove blocking mode to prevent 'tards from turning it on then calling CS and wanting to return the phone because it doesn't always ring.
They remove optical reader because I am sure it will not read every single word that will ever be put in front of it, and they don't want the calls.
Don't worry, though...obviously this stuff will show up in custom TW ROMs.

Charge Indication screen keeps showing up on lock screen while charging.

Hey guys,
I've got the S6 Edge and have recently noticed that occasionally a screen pops up indicating the charge status on the lock screen when I'm charging my phone. On the screen, it has a round and green charge meter. Under that it says which type of charge it currently is doing: speed, continuous, or trickle. Then there seems to be a big ad for installing Samung +. I had previously never seen it before. To my knowledge, I've never changed settings that would enable it. I'm currently trying to disable it, but I don't see the option to do so. Could it be associated with a specific app? Any help would be greatly appreciated! (I've got two screenshots of the indicator I'm talking about, but the system won't allow me to attach them until I have 10 posts.)
(I apologize if this topic has already been covered. I tried using the search function and was presented with mostly Quick Charge issues. If so, send me to that thread and I'll delete this one.)

My wife's phone (Moto G 2015) is having the same issue. No idea what it is and we've uninstalled a ton of aps already.
This started happening to me today and I've figured out from another forum that it's because I had a Go app installed. I had Go Weather installed which I've used for years because I like the widget. Unfortunately it gives no indication that it will alter the lock screen and there's no option to turn it off which I find unacceptable so I've had to uninstall it now.

Cubot Note S Startup Screen

Just got a Note S and very good it is too.
However i was surprised on first boot up to be taken directly to the homescreen.
You normally get taken to the Google start up screen for language area.
I tried a reset but same again taken directly into the phone without the usual logging into Google.
If i flash the Rom from here http://forum.cubot.net/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=25 will it reinstate the Google login screen at start up ?
This is the screen i get on start up even after a Reset.

I normally get this google screen at start up on other devices.
I just got one of these and can confirm the behaviour - straight to the home screen with no language prompt. It's the same with the beta version of Marshmallow for it.
Seems there is no way to have the google language screen then.
I have this phone as well, why does it matter?

Help!! Since 27/3/18 Lock Screen and ad's!! I'm being attacked.

Since 27/3/18 (2 days ago) I think some virus has infected my phone. My phone is not rooted.
Every time I lock the phone it comes up with, per exempleur, the attached:-
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
. Also things like the (see the left-hand side) are popping up all the time. I am going out of my mind!!
I've tried all advice I can see online. I've installed Anti-Adware; Zemana Anti-Virus; MalwareBytes; CCleaner. I've deleted one or two questionable apps (not that they were added in the last two days or anything...). I've also followed the various guides about turning off ad-personalisations and opting out of ads etc through Google settings etc, though they keeps coming up.
What can I do save for factory resetting the entire device? How did this happen?
Interestingly, don't know if it's relevant, though a couple of nights ago (immediately before all this started) I was woken up at 2am by my phone making a horrendous noise. I couldn't turn the noise off I couldn't turn the phone on or off. I had to hold the three buttons and do a hard reboot. It felt like some kind of thing had taken over and I had no control of it. Now it's the same in a way... I think they might be linked.
HELP!!
Back up your data , do factory reset , unistall all app what you don't need if the problem is still there , then the problem is in your firmware .
