Why Dont Programming Codes Work for SCH-i535 / i535.10 ? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Verizon Galaxy s3. Had rooted & installed CM10 but having the "Can't Connect" to camera issue. Seems like this is a firmware issue? But first step per below is to enter a programming code to determine the camera fw version. Only problem is these codes are not working on my phone. I suspect its in a issue with this version of the phone or firmware where they may have changed the codes? Is there another code I can try or another way to find out camera fw?
I flashed back to stock ROM but the code does nothing when hitting dial after entering it, just says your call cannot be completed....etc..
instructions for upgrading camera fw
Please dial in stock dialer the following: *#34971539#
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2006128
none of these work
http://www.linkedin.com/groups/Secret-Codes-Android-Mobile-Phones-76373.S.96857331
I thought these were supposed to be generic codes for Android phones?

factorytest.apk?
After some more reading it looks like this may have to do with the lack of factorytest.apk? Is that right? If so how can I install this temporarily and where can I find the apk? Can't seem to find anything via Google.

Thanks this got them working for me as well.

Hmm, I put this in system/app and rebooted but *#34981539# still is not doing anything. Am I missing something?

Try it on an older modem, I know for sure dialer codes are blocked on JB modems. I will say this though, I'm on Beans VRBLK3 TW rom (with VRBLK3 modem) which includes the factorytest.apk and the dialer code you provided does not work for me. That's about my only suggestion.

So not the phone dial, you mean download a modem app? There is no way to pass these commands via virtual terminal?

No data randomly

Just got my GS3 yesterday. Rooted before I paid for it I'm running the stock OS with root but I seem to lose my data connection constantly. It stays lost until I toggle airplane mode. Any way to fix this? Thanks

I have this same problem, but it happened to me after I had lost my IMEI and then manually injected it myself. I've ready tried reprovisioning about 3 times, but to no avail. Idk if our problem is caused by the same thing or not, but it is extremely bothersome, isn't it? I wish some genius could help us

I didn't do anything with the IMEI except back it up using the terminal emulator and the "reboot nvbackup" command. Not even sure if it did anything or not. How do you reprovision the phone? What does that even [claim to] do? A google search shows a lot of people complaining about this. I hope someone comes along and helps too.

If you reprovision, it will wipe all your data and such. Idk if you wanna try it. I only tried it because someone suggested it, but it was pointless. So, if you were gonna try that, you would want to nandroid backup first. The way to reprovision if you're interested is dial *2767*3855# that'll do the trick for you. I hope someone comes along to help as well. After a while some fix usually comes around. Just gotta be patient sometimes

Interesting. I wonder what the reprovisioning actually does. I didn't flash CWM yet since I'm running the stock bootloader, and it is locked. I heard that unlocking the bootloader can cause trouble if an OTA update changes things on it.

I would suggest that you just download ROM Manager from the app store, open it up, and at the very top it will say flash clockwork mod recovery. Hit that and it should be a done deal. Let me know if you have any problems

About data/signal issue, that's not your IMEI. It more than likely is your sim card. I had to get 2 replacements from Verizon due to a weak signal. Another simple thing to try is to be sure data roaming is ON in the settings menu, and restart. That is known to work. Rooting prob did not cause this to happen, the S3 has signal issues to begin with. Do not start running scripts to attempt to fix without going through the verizon fixes first. Stay on stock rom, hide your root apps and bring in to get sim card. They won't check for root.
Plan B is to call *611 and speak to someone, they can push a signal code through to fix. Don't say your rooted!

Oh but we shall see what happens when I change towers. To compare, and diagnose this issue, how is your phone setup. Mine is as follows:
Purchased at: Small business authorized reseller
Contract: On contract
Purchase date: 9/5/12 (opened a new account, not adding a line)
OS/ROM: Stock 4.0.4
Rooted: Yes
Bootloader: Locked (had it unlocked temporarily to see if I could do it, but I relocked it to diagnose the data issue)
Recovery: CWM
ICS Encryption: Not turned on (I don't think I can use it now that I have CWM installed anyway)
Apps that run at boot: Call Recorder by Skvalex
Root apps installed: SuperUser (duh), Rom Manager, CallRecorder, Terminal Emulator (used it to execute "reboot nvbackup" as a supposed IMEI backup method)

So far all I've done is "reboot nvbackup" to supposedly backup my IMEI, but I have no idea if it did anything. I'll double check data roaming, but I don't want to rack up a roaming bill. Also I don't have to worry about my store finding out if I root. The sales guy helped me root it before I even paid for it.
The guy I dealt with helped with root questions for me too at actually vzw store... Funny! Sim should do the trick. And yes, that script you ran backed your IMEI correctly, so it's not that. Data roaming is to see if it improves issue, if it does, your having network issues that are not phone related. There is no reason to keep that option on unless your lost in the woods and need data!

I know it's IMEI, I was just saying it started happening after I got it back. The Roaming thing didn't work for me. Would you suggest getting a new SIM card first or calling *611?

Many people fixed the problem caused by the new cm 10.1 update, using that after odin to stock.
You can use it, but you need to go back to VRLF2 stock ICS. Newer builds disabled the code.
Here is a link to Root66, a ROM you can use the re-provision code on:

Just got back into cell phone range. Thanks for the info. I flashed an unofficial cm10.1 build. And did what was suggested. Thankfully I now have a fully working phone again. However beware that some of your data maybee lost. I'm not sure why. I think it is due to the way android 4.2 deals with multiple users. Make sure you back up all data off your device. A backup with titanium did not work for some apps, the XDA developer app amongst them btw.

I'm going to go overboard and deep NOOB, and ask if i have restored to stock, and still have this issue, do I need to re-root and then flash CM10.1 to get the radio portion working again?
Once i have it working correctly, how do I flash a different ROM {AOKP} to prevent this from happening again?

[ROM][DEV][CM 10.1][ALPHA] Cyanogenmod 10.1 userbuild

Hi,
Update:
Codeworx started developing for the i9305 and gave it a huge push towards a usable rom.
Big thanks for that!
Old: (so i've created a Cyanogenmod 10.1 Port for the gt-i9305 based on the cyanogenmod sources, the work winxuser did, and the sources and config of the perseus kernel.)
Whats working:
-radio(2g,3g,4g untested)
-wifi
-bluetooth
-camera
-call audio
-microphone
-what's not listed in the "not working" section(?)
Known Bugs:
-No 4G support in UI(settings, network symbol), but 4g connection works
-Microphone/Audio input quality
Not working:
-?
I'm currently uploading cwm-flashable zip.
Install instructions:
-wipe userdata!
-install zip using cwm
Thanks to:
-Codeworx
-ABorgh for starting thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2074149
-winxuser for his previous work
-rekoil for some usefull hints
-AndreiLux for Perseus kernel (i hope it's ok to use your work as a base for the cyanogenmod kernel)
Warning:
This rom is for the GT-I9305 and just tested on an GT-I9305(not T or N).
Flashing and usage at your own risk!

Google search not working after update, help

As the title states my Google search is no longer working after the new update. The only way I can get it to work it to clear cache, data, and uninstall updates which will then revert the app to factory form. After doing all that the app works no issues but then the app updates itself and then i keep getting same error message every time I try to load it.. Anyone else have this issue? Running P6800 with JB 4.1.2. Thanks in advance.

After doing all that the app works no issues but then the app updates itself and then i keep getting same error message every time I try to load it.. Anyone else have this issue? Running P6800 with JB 4.1.2. Thanks in advance.

I have the same issue. I read there are issues on some nexus devices. I think just wait for Google to release a fix.

Same here. Reverted to the previous version and waiting for the update with correction (hopefully),
I just did a phone reset hoping it would solve the issuebut nothing. Google just released a new update and still same problem.

Indeed, the release of 11/21 is no good either.
I have been looking all over the net and can't seem to find any info on this, Google hasn't even acknowledged there is something wrong. Maybe this is only affecting a very small number number of people.

Both Google Now / Search and Newsstand have been crashing on launch with the stock ROM. But on my other JB devices no such problem. I tried rooting this tablet. No change. Then I flashed the unofficial Cyanogenmod 10.1. That solved the problem.
My assumption: the Samsung stock ROM is the source of the problem.
What did I learn?
- My tablet is running smoother without all the Samsung crap. I should have done it even sooner!
- I will probably gravitate in the future to Nexus devices where the OS is not compromised by vendor-motivated overhead. And it's easier to get updates and custom ROMs.
- Because Samsung has not been fully cooperative with the developer community, ROMs often lack certain device drivers. (Another advantage for Nexus.)
If this motivates you to root and flash just be aware of two known deficiencies with the ROM I am using:
-no tethering
-once you turn off wifi you'll have to reboot to turn it on again.
(Thanks, Samsung for withholding wifi device drivers from the public.)
We shouldn't have to install custom roms in order for an app to work. I have tried to report the issue to Google but I have yet to receive feedback. I have flashed many roms and many of my Android devices but I longer wish to do so since no one rom is fully functional as it should, there will always be issues. I too may consider a Nexus device, but at the same time I have always liked Samsung and their products but this one issue with this app is a little annoying.

What I don't understand is that my wife's Note I I was able to update with no issues, her phone is running JB 4.1.2. I'm no tech or anything but I believe it may have something to with our tab itself.

After flashing the JB 4.1.2 Indonesian firmware, my Google search has stopped working. No matter what I do it always crashes.
I don't have option to uninstall updates from app manager. Does any of u guys have an older version of Google search? Would be really glad if u can post it for me.

Hi Manipur,
Try to download this:

Let me know if any problems.
Whether Samsung or Google, the android environment can come across as chaotic. So much going on with all various versions.
Samsung keep selling us pretty much the same devices with new software, I'm not particularly impressed their pace of improvements.
Google products seems to work well on Apple ios, android is still missing functions available Apple for a good while now, funny how that works.

I don't see an apk file. Do I have to flash it from recovery?

It is the apk file, should be about 14.4 MB. Try to download again and let me know if any problems.

Oops. Too bad, that is the oldest one I have, and it works fine in my case.
I know I'm not the only one with this issue, anybody have an any ideas as to why Google search no longer works, even after new updates. On My wife's Note II she gets all the updates with no issue, she is also running 4.1.2. This is really pissing me off.

I hv the same problem after update to official Singapore ROM.
Cannot wait for a respectable tab with phone function so I can ditch Samsung forever.
