Nfc questions - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi been having problems with nfc and want to know do you been to have a nfc battery to even turn it on but it just wouldn't work or does it just grey out.
Because mine doesn't turn on ino my battery doesn't support nfc but would that cause the nfc option to be greyed out when i turn it on

No NFC battery, no NFC.

Even with nfc battery its not working. Btw im on cm10 tryed everything

Must be a problem with cm10 then.
Try flash another ROM of another release of cm10 and see if it works.
NFC is really of no use to us in Ireland yet anyway so you're not missing out on anything.

Have you tried the stock battery already?
Also did you do a complete wipe (system format and changed modem)
Nfc works fine for me and btw nfc is much more than just payment, check nfc task launcher

Last option i can think of is Odin with repartition, but be careful to use the correct pit, also try it without sd, if this also doesn't solve your problem, i guess it's a hardware fault.

try fixing permissions
Also, you may try flashing a diffrrent kernel
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Tomorrow after charging... gonna do wipe battery stats and fix permission (what does this fix permission do actually?)... if then I have no succes... I'll flash a stock rom.
Btw I think he restarts in the sleep or wake proces... Though I never play with overclocking and undervolting.
Thanks for the quick replies!

Flashing a stock ROM would do no good. I suggest you flash a full stock firmware because I had the same problem with you back with my s2 and i just flashed another kernel and it did the job
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Yeah actually I meant stock firmware. But the wipe battery stats and fix permissions did it for me... niice! Thanks xda!

It was fix permissions that did it, battery stats are wiped whenever you charge the phone.

[Q] Wrong automatic timezone after installing rom

After installing ROMs on my galaxy s2 1900 like JellyBam or Revolt, they both cause a timezone issue. After a while, the automatic timezone detects GMT. Sometimes it goes back to the right timezone (australia) but it generally stays on Greenwich mean time. Of course I can manually set time, but it's been bugging me for an answer. Is this an issue with AOKP type roms, or the kernel? Or something i didn't do during flashing?

I9300 freezes + blue led flashing

Hi
I'm having a problem with my S3. Sometimes my phone won't wakeup after night. The blue led is on and i must reinsert battery to turn on the phone. My soft is XELLA so i was thinking that's problem with sudden death won't bother me but that's not right?
Is my phone slowly dying?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Try factory reset, if the phone boots normally after a battery pull then it isn't terminal yet.

Is there no newer "firmware" for your country? Latest firmwares that most other people have is pretty much freeze free. Since MB3 in February

I don't quite know what you're asking?
If you're rooted, flashing a custom kernel like perseus or siyah should be all you require

Well , my device has been freezing alot yesterday like 3 times and I want a freeze free firmware , The MB3 version is a leak 4.2.1 for i9300 , is it recommended to use it as my main firmware ? And perseus kernel is freeze free ?

The fix is in the kernel so if you use perseus, you don't need to change the android build

I want a stock kernel , can I use a firmware from sammobile and flash it with stock recovery? And which country firmware to flash?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I had this issue as well on rooted stock 4.1.2 ROM, I installed Android Revolution HD of same Android build (newer firmware), and never had it again. Tried also few other ROMs as well (official MIUI and ParanoidAndroid), also didn't experience this kind of freezing. Must be Firmware related, because I'm pretty sure that I was experiencing probs on XELLA firmware as well.

Why would you want the inefficient stock kernel if you're rooted?

S3 becoming of old age?

hi all
I have had my S3 for just under a year and recently have been growing really frustrated of its performance. It feels slow at time (which is understandable) and it freezes and completely crashes on me randomly through out the day.
I have been running the _null rom for a very long time and find this an amazing experience. I have just today moved over to chaos final v2 rom and that seems just as smooth. I am still however having these crashes!
Any body know what it could be? I must admit my memory is virtually full externally and I have about a cool 3GB internally. This should not make a difference to the system crashes though!
All ideas and responses would be much appreciated.
Thank you
Please read "unusual freeze" thread in general.
This should be in q&a though.

I've factory reset my phone already and although it's smoother it shouldn't crash and require a restart! I initially upgraded to this phone so I didn't get these issues but it's getting ridiculous to be honest!

Its not relevant. If you're unfamiliar with the s3 specifically, fyi "generic advice" is not applicable here. Faults and quirks of the s3 are unique to this device so really only owners or developers of the s3 will be able to help through experience.
I know you mean well. I'm just giving some background in case you weren't aware

Great, so you'll be fully versed in the update 7 kernel source code for the S3 that introduced the MOVINAND fix to address the faulty wear levelling code in the 0xf1 VTU00M eMMC memory? And that the issues the OP has mentioned are conducive with the side effects that this fix has on the device?
