[General Questions and Answers] xAnimal5:
Ok, so hopefully someone can answer my question about this...

Right now, I have an AT&T Galaxy SII. Tommorow is my last day to restock and get a new phone. I want to import a Galaxy Note from Europe, the cheapest and in stock I've found was $800. So... tommorow I was planning on restocking my Galaxy SII for an Iphone 4s <----- for a higher retail price when I sell it.

My questions are...

If I do buy a Galaxy Note, will I keep my Grandfathered Data Plan with AT&T even if I don't swap out the SIM and take it to the store for a SIM?

The Iphone 4s is gonna be a pain in the ass because of it's damn micro SIM, so if I take the Note to my AT&T store, will they try to force a new plan on me or will I just be able to request a new SIM.

What if I don't restock my GSII for the Iphone 4s and lose about $50 retail... when buying the Skyrocket. Will I just be able to swap the SIMs and add the modem?

Any help will be much appreciated. I really want that note!
[General Questions and Answers] xAnimal5:
Bump... Really need this answered
[General Questions and Answers] newter55:
When you get the note you will just have to put your sim in and add the apn. No plan change will be involved.

just want to confirm whether it's possible to make the pattern unlock screen a bit bigger? like with out the unlock screen date and time widget. it does take space off from the screen a bit making the pattern unlock a bit small.

it would be really great if it would be possible to resize to like how it shows on the attachment with the emergency call button below it.

just only want to know if it's possible :)

I know this is a stupid question bud Ive seen Evos with "bad ESNs" so cheap Ive began to wonder what it is. I know its something bad (duh its fkn obvious) but what exactly is this ESN?? and can I still activate the phone with sprint n use it? thnx!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Notorious:
You can't activate it if it has a bad ESN
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AtiRadeon1:
Bad ESN's are phone's that are essentially "lost" or something else. You wont be able to use those phones on Sprint, but you can flash on another carrier like MetroPCS or Criket.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tropicalbrit:
Electronic serial numbers (ESNs) were created by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to uniquely identify mobile devices.

The ESN is "bad" in the sense that it is reported stolen or the account has an outstanding balance remaining. It cannot be activated on a network. There are ways to zero out the ESN and cloning. ESN cloning is illegal. Thus, for all intents and purposes, a phone with a bad ESN can be your new Wi-Fi bound media device
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Luisit0:
oook, so basically if I want a PHONE (call, txt, web,...) I should avoid bad ESN phones, unless I want an HTC branded iPod... well thnx every1 for the fast replies =)

Hi guys,

I just unlocked my bootloader with fastboot.

There was not any problem in unlocking. But after unlock when i turned on my phone.

I've noticed that my home button is not working. It is physical normal and not damaged.

If i press home button when my phone screen is off, it can turn on screen. But after turning it on. It's not doing anything. Like is not even working or exist.

My phone was .42 FW Stock ROM and rooted. ( I've changed few things in bootanimation and status bar etc with root explorer but i think i didn't change anything important and it was working perfect)

PS: I've just noticed that my Camera is not working at all. If a press camera icon in Launcher. Phone's screen is turn black and nothing happens. Also camera button not working too. ( OMG- Maybe i shouldn't do that Bootloader unlocking thing :(

Guys please help.

Thank you so much for reading.

Best Regards.

why dont you stay on cyanogen if your bootloader is unlocked :)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oojjii:
I liked Cyanogen Mod. But when i flashed lastest version (7.0.2). It stuck at BootAnim.

Then i flashed v7.0.1 it worked normally. But in that process i decided that CM7 is not complete for ARC yet and i have to wait a bit more for fully function and stable :)

Probably i will flash it soon but not now :)

Like the title says, get a free phone skin from Marlboro and skinit.com.

1. Scan qr code in picture below

2. Set up account

3. Create a brand

4. Get it shipped

Says it could 8-10 weeks for delivery, but I just ordered mine on 23OCT and received it in the mail 01NOV. Limited to folks 21 and older and they do ask for SS# for age and identification verification so there is that catch. Other than that, no strings attached. Figure if you're a nonsmoker you can just make up some stuff when you create the account for brand preference and such. I also included pics of mine. If you decide to get one come back and post pics.

It does limit you to 2 characters on the brand and as hindsight is always 20/20, I realized I could've done my favorite college or university as opposed to the initials of my name.

[Epic 4G Accessories] vita10gy:
Pics are pretty small, and appear to be screen shots of pictures, but they worked. From looks pretty cool, but they ask for way too much info to feel comfortable IMO. Cool find though.
[Epic 4G Accessories] austin420:
i already am on the marlboro mailing lists and get several freebies a year, so theyve already gotten my info. that being said, i ordered this a few weeks ago also. im not one for phone skins so i had it made to fit an iphone 3gs for my dad. quality is soso. just a typical skinit skin. not bad for free.

Not many skins to choose from, but hell its free, I got the one that looked like chrome for the toolboxes on the back of truck... the brand thing is pretty cool too, makes it unique. 15 bucks saved.

How strange

Thanks for the post, I don't see why you need to be 21+ when you're legally allowed to smoke at 18. Lol. I'm not the one giving away free skins, so i guess it's on them.

Hello.

My problem is that I loss data transmission (internet, market, etc...) in my phone.

The only think I can do to solve this is reboot the phone. Then, all works fine, almost during 1 hour or 2. Then, the problem returns.

Does anyone know what can it be?

I have all the configuration of the phone, according to my operator (SIMYO)

My ROM now is GB , but with Froyo, the problem was the same.

I changed recently the BASEBAND and the RIL.

Thanks.

(sorry for my bad english...)
[LG Optimus 2x] Striatum_bdr:
Try another Baseband. And if it's not better I think it's hardware...
[LG Optimus 2x] skynetent:
This is the second Baseband.

The first one was 20110606
[LG Optimus 2x] KillerbeeNL:
You have to install 725 v20L baseband (someone here on xda extracted this from the GB .kdz file)

Then all should be good
[LG Optimus 2x] skynetent:
I'll search for it.

Thanks, i'll post results later.

I have the phone in bootloop and would like to boot it into recovery-clockwork to flash a new file. I dont know how to run ADB. In download mode ADB is not working.

Please help.

Thank you

Put it into download mode and flash a version of Clockworkmod recovery through ODIN. It will then boot into recovery.

Agree.For our phone this is the single way :(

[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] rpadula:
in dowload mode you can only flash a recovery or a rom. there's no adb available.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] ThinksAmoral:
I guess it would be. It's not a very general question. Though it would fit in the Clockworkmod thread.

Hello ladies and gents.

I have a kinda of messed up problem. I can't make my SGS recognized by any windows 7 pc (tried 3, 1 on 64 bit , and 2 on 32 bit) i get the same errors on all 3. Anyway after spendind hours and hours of brainstorming i gave up.

I there any other way to root your phone without connecting it to a pc?

Do you have Kies installed?

I had same problem but when I downloaded Kies, problem dissapeared.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rahbert:
i tried with and without kies,different methods of manually installing the drivers, just can't says Already up to date. Every time i connect my device i get this:

Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)

I've read some pots with ppl having the same situation,they got to the conclusion that the problem was moisture corroding the phone usb port, but I cleaned with thinner(alcohool). I hope i don't need a fix.

I managed for a brief momment to connect as Mass Storage after a fresh factory reset...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ccrows:
2 things:

First Windows 7 is not too friendly with SGS. Use Win XP if you can.

Second, do you have USB Debugging checked?...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ppeterpp:
Download 32 or 64 bit drivers. Just type in google samsung android usb drivers.

Turn your usb debugging mode on.

Check your rom version. (xxjvt is recommended)

Flash CF-root kernel as Pda with Odin.

You have rooted.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rahbert:
I tried with debugging on, and other solutions on the forum, like i said i reasearched for hours. I installed XP on my laptop and i get the same thing, unknown device, and i can't manually install the drivers, same thing already up to date.

To eliminate some things: The cable is not faulty(verified it with another Samsung phone works fine), tried different usb ports (all of them).

Tried flashig step by step after the guide you guys posted. After i press start in Odin i get this: <OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0)

Phone doesn't reboot as it should. Did it 3 times and waited about 2-3 mins/each time i tried. Any other suggestions?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rahbert:
No other suggestions, of what i could be?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rahbert:

Hi there,

I tried to root my new GNote , but I messed up with a silly mistake after I flash another rom for SGS2 :o ( this is a reminder to double check the procedures TWICE ) using Odin3 v1.85.

My GNote now in black screen and never boot ( of course :p ) .....

The device still recognized by Odin3 ( I saw the box becoming yellow everytime I connect the USB cable ) , but of course I couldn't go in download mode !! However, I downloaded the stock rom ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1310513 ) and I tried to flash it using Odin3 , but no success !!

Also I could see the device using the adb devices.

Please help to recover to the stock rom.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] geek78:
So you have now a sgs2 bootloader.... You need a jiig to put it in download mode and then, you will be able to flash a stock rom with odin. This is what I have down to reset my flash counter
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] deaad:
Sure you can go to download mode.

Shutdown, hold start, volume down and power button at the same time until the screen appears. Release and it will go to download mode.

Now you can flash using odin.

Open a command prompt, navigate to your Android SDK,

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] deaad:
Pressing the power button for a longer time will shut it down as well.

Or

Take out the battery a bit longer, hold down volume button already before putting in the battery.

(sometimes it starts by itself when you place the battery)

Keep trying.

Suddenly it will happen.

I'm almost sure....

[Motorola Droid Bionic] fender2469:
Hi, I've looked and can't find the answer. I am not rooted nor do I want to root. I would like to do the leaked 5.7.893, can I just download it and go into stock recovery? Is it possible to get the "official" update still if something changed or is there a way to go back to the original 5.5.886 like with the droid x being able to SBF back to froyo. Again I have no intention of rooting, any help would be greatly

appreciated . Many thanks to anyone who is willing to help.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] neckbonest:
yes you can install the leak but you will not be able to go all the way back. you can take the system back but you will still have the new kernal and radio. you cannot change those till the bootloader gets unlocked.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] GreenAce92:
Well I had the misfortune of getting all of my stuff stolen by some crooked F****r

This happen to include my Infuse, nice and shiny

I am really... really ticked... so I was curious

Is there such a thing as a program or condition that one could put into their phone where a security test would be frequently asked (something that isn't annoying but catches unauthorized users) to verify the authorized user ie owner of the device?

Also the program would have to be have some leniency as I don't want it to brick itself when I ask somebody to check my messages of course I would tell them the code or trick whatever it may be.

I need something that when the phone is in jeopardy, it will destroy the device as well as all of the data that has accumulated on this device...

I just hate... absolutely hate with the blackest black like a black hole of hatred, when I have this feeling of "some bastard out there is freely running through my device" and I can't do **** about it.

Which happens to have past data on it, even if my SIM is terminated and my phone is cut off... there is still the numbers, photos, messages and such

Man I tell you, these lowlife scums... really? I was in a college cafeteria, I have my coat sitting there in front of everyone, I was sitting alone, I get up to get some fruit, when I come back, the coat is gone.

Yeah I left it unattended but at the same time you have to consider the fact that maybe these humans have something called morals in their little brains.

It's like... WTF

Plus the University Police's cameras suck... you would think that their capability of funding a $60 million dollar building, that perhaps they could install cameras which could do more than just differentiate whether a human is a girl or a guy.

Anyways... aside from all this bull

What can you guys think of... is there something like this?

I may just make it myself if something like this isn't already made, I'm so pissed

I just wanted to kill whoever this person was (not really as I could never do that) but man I was about ready to pick up this desk and hurl it at the window...

Thank you guys in advance for the read and perhaps an answer to my question.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] DangKid:
Sorry for your loss.

SeekDroid is my phone's best friend. You can locate, lock, force an alarm, and wipe the phone from a computer. You can also see the phone number of the sim, along with a list of the last 10 placed calls. On top of all this, you can also force the app to hide on the phone so that nobody can uninstall it. Insanely cheap for what it offers.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] slapshot30:
I'm sure there is a lock out there that will wipe data or whatever you want if you get the passcode wrong a certain amount of times. You should use a screen lock from now on though... quick and easy for everyday use. And when something happens like this at least you know the dickhead has a paperweight and can't get past the lockscreen. You can also password lock the sim card too. I'm sorry about your stolen device. :/

Sent from my Samsung Infuse
[Samsung Infuse 4G] GreenAce92:
Thank you guys for the condolences

DangKid

How much is this app? It's a one time buy right?

The thing is, how helpful are these things when the phone is off? I guess the criminal would have to turn the phone on at some point

The main thing that concerns me (besides the fact that it's stolen) is the data still being on there, it's my privacy you know? I am entitled to it just like everyone else, as private as one can get here in the US anyways which I would say is pretty good... anyways

slapshot30

I used to use screen locks, I just got annoyed by it

I just have the little puzzle piece (or had)

I just want the phone to be useless, although if there was a chance for me to get it back, I'd like to be able to restore it (bricking I guess is what this is)

I just want to scream "MY BABY!!!! IT'S MISSING!!!!!" In a girl shrieking voice hahaha

Anyways, thanks guys I will heed your warnings and look into this app

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

What about the condition that the phone would terminate itself when it detects that someone else is using the phone

Say it gives you three tries to enter the authorization code

The unbricking would be easy (due to the way the app is programmed) so that if I accidentally bricked it on myself by not entering the code right, it wouldn't be a hassle to restore it.
