    Help No data connection after firmware upgrade!!

    I upgraded my S3 to the newest firmware/software the other day. Since the upgrade, I have lost all data connectivity. As soon as I'm out of my wireless zone (wireless works fine), I have NO data connection whatsoever. I tried rebooting, toggling on/off airplane mode, taking out battery/SIM...

    Help Please help! I can't upgrade the firmware

    I posted this the other day but I didn't receive any help - I thought I'd try again. My husband and I both have the Galaxy S3. Mine is the unlocked Int'l version and his was purchased in the US and unlocked by the carrier. I use Nova Launcher Prime on mine, he doesn't. We both received a...

    Help Failed to upgrade firmware ("unknown error")

    After first seeing that an upgrade was available, I tried to do the upgrade via WiFi and got a message that it failed due to server connection. I thought this was odd since my husband who has the same phone was able to successfully do the upgrade over WiFi. So, I downloaded Kies and hooked up...

    Help What do the flashing data letters mean?

    I have the factory unlocked version and I notice when I'm on data and/or roaming, I get little letters that flash in the notification bar under the data notification icon. Sometimes it's H, or the letter E. Do these translate to 3G, EDGE etc? I'm not sure if this is telling me the connection...

    Help Play Store downloading problems - phone issue?

    I'm not quite sure if this is a phone issue (I have the unlocked version), a carrier issue or something else. I thought maybe someone could help or give me an idea. Basically, I find many of the apps/widgets from the play store are "not available in your country". I don't live in some desolate...

    Help Clock/weather widget not visable in Nova Launcher

    Is there any way to use the standard clock/weather combo widget (that comes per-programmed on the home screen) in Nova Launcher? I noticed that when I open NL, that standard clock/weather widget is missing. I like the look of that widget and the fact that when I travel, it shows dual...

    Help Please help - prevent syncing ALL gmail "contacts"?

    I'm completely new to Android so please bear with me! After setting up my gmail account, I noticed that it was syncing ALL my gmail contacts. And by "contacts" I mean anyone I have ever emailed since I first opened my gmail account. When I click on "Not Assigned" under Groups, there are...
