Funny you should say that. I was texting with an EMT friend of mine and she had just helped a guy married to a mannequin. During this string of texts, she said to me "Well, at least you know she swallows" And THAT was the text my phone decided to read whilst walking through the IT department of my company. :rolleyes:

nope, guess we can install .zips form stock rcovery cool! rooted with external sdcard!

didnt one of the cyanogenmod guys go to work for samsung like last year or something? I think it shows from this recovery and some UI stuff.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AMoosa:
When on a call, listen to the call through the earpiece as normal. I can hear rattling at certain frequencies. If I push against the back of the phone above the camera, it goes away. Does anyone else get this? Is it bad build quality on my unit alone? Should I take it for a swap out?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AMoosa:
BUMP - need a view on this pretty soon so I can swap the phone out if need be.

Thanks. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] harecurtis:
take it back

if I were you return it for a new one, rattling means something is out of place on your unit. so try to get a replacement.

Okay on most of the ROMS when you sync your FB contacts it adds a +1 to the beginning of the number there was a way to disable that but I can't find it because it wont call if it has the +1.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
It should call just fine with the +1, that's just the country code, just like dialing the area code for a local number. And no, there's not a fix for it, it's on facebook's end.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qkpony:
it wont call when I use the +1 it looks like it is calling the it will say call lost. If I use the same number but call using google voice it works just fine.

Hi everyone, this is my first post on here so please be gentle...lol. I just switched to Tmobile from Sprint and for some reason I either have 2g or 4g....I know the phone doesn't have a 3g icon, I'm talking about actual speeds. Whenever I leave a 4g area, according to Tmobile coverage map I should have 3g but I never do, I travel a lot between San Antonio tx and Houston and the whole way over there I have 2g....is this normal or is there something wrong with my phone...Tmobile can't find a problem, thanks for any help.
[HTC Amaze 4G] shovelhead83:
Tmobiles customer service has dwindling. May I ask why the change from sprint?
[HTC Amaze 4G] marce123:
Well I changed for two reasons, one...Sprint sux..and two, they've been making a lot of changes ever since they got the iPhone and I didn't like them...since my contract was up, I jumped ship.
[HTC Amaze 4G] guit4rm4ni4k:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I am nearly sure that there is 3G but you don't realize it because it shares the same 4G icon.

Unfortunately T-Mobile 3 and 4 g is mostly in major cities. I was on a trip in the west recently, and while I had reception all along the highways, it was connecting on 2g only. That is pretty typical.

That is what upsets me because according to their website, Texas has excellent 3g coverage...plus I hardly even get 2g...its mostly just g...has anyone seen this problem in Texas

[LG Optimus 3D] pauliebb:
Hello

I just recently got the optimus 3d. its brilliant!

With the help of this forum I've managed to root and get Clockwork then install thais rom.

amazing speed increase.

But i have just one issue.

My phone was locked to orange uk provider. when i bought the phone I had to call orange to have my phone 'activated'

only after i did that did the phone even receive a signal.

before that it just said emergency call only, or no signal.

now, i've unlocked the phone using a code. it now says no personalization when i check the lock menu.

but: when i insert another sim, vodaphone uk or 3 uk, it says emergency call only or no network.

whats going on?

please help...

thanks
[LG Optimus 3D] pauliebb:
after a search it seems other people also have this issue with no reply.

did anyone else have this problem and fix it?
[LG Optimus 3D] mistermentality:
The activation bit is for the sim card, I have a phone locked to O2 and what happens is you register the sim with them and then they enable it to use their network which is why until then it will say no network.

It is also the reason why if you put any other sim in the phone, and that sim has not yet been used to make calls, you get the same error.

As for the personalisation message on the unlock menu, I am unsure what you mean by the lock menu. I assume you mean the screen you see before you unlock your phone to use it each time, and did a search on google which produced no results but I would guess that if you are using a custom rom the message means you either have not personalised your screen or that the option is there to personalise it but has not been used.

Dave
[LG Optimus 3D] pauliebb:
unlock menu - where you enter the network unlock code.

i'm trying to use my 3 uk sim, its been on contract for over 2 years.
[LG Optimus 3D] mistermentality:
I know that a lot of unlocked phones wont work with 3, if you google 3 unlock you will find a lot of people have problems and some unlock companies even specify they wont unlock to 3 network but if it does the same with non 3 cards or only works with one operator perhaps the unlock was only partial?

I did a search for pedsonalisation and all I found were various unlock sites saying that a sucessful unlock needs you to have a personalisation menu.

My previous android phone had a device lock and a sim lock, could it be your unlock has only partially worked? Is it only one provider whose network you can access?

Dave
[LG Optimus 3D] pauliebb:
you're being really helpful so i give thanks.

i have tried o2 and vodafone sims in the phone also but to no avail... always says emergency only or no network, with both showing no signal.

would flashing the original orange rom back then retrying the lock code help? as of right now when i go to the unlock menu and click network lock it prompts a message stating my phone has no personalization.
[LG Optimus 3D] pauliebb:
sorry missed out a little bit of info.

the only network that works is orange, it gets full signal and works perfect, but i'd really like to use my contract sim instead of pay as you go extra on orange.
[LG Optimus 3D] mistermentality:
I've done some more searching and found that on a lot of phones that personalisation message means the phone unlock has failed and that after a successful unlock it should say something like "network lock has been personalised".

You do only get a certain number of tries so don't enter the code over and over, if you are sure you entered it correctly it means the code you got just didn't work (I had that when unlocking my previous LG and had to buy a code from somewhere else as the first one didn't work at all).

I am not recommending this site, it's just one that explained how to unlock so am posting a link in case it helps, but the site says you need to enter two codes on an Optimus 3D. One is for network lock and one for service provider lock, I know that some people on the xda forums have unlocked their phones so I hope they will jump in and help solve your problem as really all I can do is google for the bits I am unsure of but it would seem your code did not work, or that you need two codes and only had one.

Dave
[LG Optimus 3D] pauliebb:
just wondering if i could post a video link here to show how it happens, if not, mods can you delete this link:

http://videobam.com/YqMQH

might need to tilt head/computer screen

that was with orange sim, without orange sim it shows no signal and no network... its running thais rom.

heres a video of it using another sim.

when i start the phone with other sim, it prompts whether i'd like to use mobile data or not, but no connection!
[LG Optimus 3D] pauliebb:
http://videobam.com/ScZMP
[LG Optimus 3D] mistermentality:
Well having watched your videos I can clear up something, I think.

I had searched for terms based around "no personalisation available" which means your code did not work but searching for the actual message in the video "your phone is not personalised" produced completely different results.

That specific message means the option you are clicking on is not locked (not personalised by your provider) at least according to various pages I have found including a few on other well known Android forums so if that's correct your unlock did actually work and that is why the message appears.

The page at http://www.cpkb.org/wiki/LG_enter_NCK_code also mentions this code and its cause.

If the other sims you try offer you data or mobile but do not connect, yet you can make calls, then you need to set up your apn for that provider. The apn tells your phone how to connect to your provider.

This is really easy to do but you will need a free app called Apn global from the android market at https://market.android.com/details?id=osatek.apn.global obviously you need it on your device which can be done in various ways, possibly easiest if you can connect via wifi and go to the market.

Install and run it, pick the name of your provider (the provider whose sim you wish to use) and it will create the mms and internet settings for you. Then mobile data should work.

Alternatively if you have an android phone which you already use that sim on, install to that phone and choose the apps backup option which will backup your exact settings to sd card so you can import them to another android phone.

If you have other providers apns on there you will probably need to tell the phone to use your new settings. Simply go to your phones settings menu, find the wireless settings option and click it then scroll down the screen to "mobile networks" and click that. Then click "Access point names" and choose the desired provider. I have three on my phone and you can always revert to any other settings if you change provider later.

The apn app is very useful, I have used it on a few phones, it has a large list of providers worldwide so you should find your choice of provider there and hopefully that will solve your problem.

Dave
[LG Optimus 3D] pauliebb:
Thanks for the reply dave, but I have yet more bad news sadly.

I can't actually make calls, as shown in the second video it shows no network/emergency calls only.

It's hard to believe no-one else has this issue.

I have owned lots of android in the past(started with g1, then hero, then jumped to zte blade then galaxy 1, now this) none of them posed any difficulty removing network lock.

Its such a strange problem that a search of this forum shows at least one other person had this issue but no-one could help.
[LG Optimus 3D] mistermentality:
Sorry if this sounds stupid but have you gone into the settings menu on your phone (Settings/Wireless and Networks/Mobile Networks/) and chosen the "select your network provider" option?

There you can force your phone to use a specific network provider.

Dave
[LG Optimus 3D] pauliebb:
I have with error "Unable to connect to this network at this time. Please try again later."
[LG Optimus 3D] mistermentality:
I don't think I can help, though I did some more googling and on the cyanogen mod forums someone posted a similar problem....

If you fail to get a solution this option may help but probably best as a last resort. One thing I did notice when watching your second video is that you have the wireless on, this will stop your phone connecting to any providers mobile data so at least as far as mobile data goes you won't be able to use it when connected to wifi and would have to switch wifi off in order to test the mobile data connection.

Also I know that on my O3D my wireless sometimes seems to cause my phone signal to switch off with the little x. I doubt that is the cause of your problem but may be worth trying to connect with no wifi.

Dave
[LG Optimus 3D] pauliebb:
I'm going to try reinstall the original orange rom that came with it and downgrade baseband, if that fails to work after a full reinstall using lgflashtool I'll have to try get another phone.

thanks for all your help dave, i really appreciate it!
[LG Optimus 3D] mistermentality:
A popular unlock site says the only steps needed to unlock to any network are...

1. Input a non accepted simcard

2. Phone will display enter “Sim network unlock PIN” or “Enter Network Unlock Code”

3. Input the 8 or 16 digit unlock code that was emailed to you

4. Phone is unlocked!

If you did this, which you obviously have, your phone is unlocked and the problem must be something else but if you're going to flash a copy of the orange rom you might want to check first with one of the more knowledgeable users here that the rom won't replace some of the locks you already removed.

I checked around and from what I have found it should be as easy as put the new providers apn on your phone, select their settings from mobile networks menu for provider and also mobile data and that should work.

One orange customer who unlocked a different model android phone found that all they had to do was flash the radio only (not the rom), not sure how you do that but there are probably guides on xda.

Dave
[LG Optimus 3D] pauliebb:
I flashed the original orange rom and after flashing the froyo basrband it suddenly worked. Flashed gb again and it still worked, seems i just hsd to reflash basebsnd/radio like you said.

Hi pauliebb,

I have the same problem that you had. I bought a used unlock O3D vodafone ES to gift to my brother, he lives in south america and he told me that the mobile does not recognize his SIM. What did you exactly do you did to reflash the baseband firmware???

I supposed thet the mobile is unlock because it shows the same message when enter to the unlock options "phone is not personalised"

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kitbaty:
First of all, I know I am an idiot - so let's get that out of the way right now! :)

So, I have been using Mik 2.6 for several months now and loved it. But my phone ear speaker shorted out or something, and all calls sound very tinny and "crunchy". Also, every so often when I take photos the lower half of the image gets funky (like over exposure from a real camera). So, I decided to just try and restore to factory and take it to Sprint tomorrow.

Using the RUU gave me a problem. I would get so far then it would tell me (when looking for bootloader) that the usb wasnt connected to the phone or the computer. When I got that error on the computer, the phone screen was just a black screen with larger HTC logo on it. Couldnt go anywhere from there. Unplugging the device gave me the recovery screen with RUU option selected. I had to take out the battery to reboot from there. I tried to reboot the phone in recovery mode and maybe try to get to bootloader menu THEN run RUU. When I did that, I would get the same error. But when I restarted the phone, it would not boot all the way, but get stuck with the wallpaper showing, the power guage, and the 3g bars. It would never go all the way to the time/unlock screen.

So, I tried to reboot into recovery again from there... the phone vibrated three times and shut down. Now, it is completely bricked. It will not turn on normally, or in any recovery mode. In fact, when I plug it in to recharge - the light doesn't even come on.

SO - am I completely screwed? Is there ANYTHING I can do? Any advice, anecodotes, well wishes... anything would be appreciated! Thanks!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Have you tried taking the battery out for 5 minutes, placing it back in, then back on the charger? That'll let the capacitors dissipate, and make sure the battery isn't super drained.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kitbaty:
I did, and it worked - to the point where it will start up and get right to the point of giving me the lock screen - but not quite. I can see the wallpaper. I can see the 3G up and down, and the signal bars... and the time. In fact, I even used my wifes phone to call mine, and it rang. But it didnt give me a way to answer the call. So now I can see all of the above, and a missed call icon! :)

So, I can also restart in Bootloader mode. Should I plug into my computer and restart in Bootloader mode and start the RUU?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Take the sd card out of the phone, mount to a pc via adapter, toss on the s-on zip, flash in recovery, or do the revolutionary method, depending on how you rooted, then do an RUU in PC36IMG form.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kitbaty:
No, I mean that I can't access the SD card through my computer when plugged in.

Also, no - I have not gotten the sd card out of the phone. Ever. Wouldn't even know how to do so. Again, read the first line of my original post! :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Well you'll need a micro usb adapter to place it in computer, and still can't be read?

- take off the back cover

- remove battery

- there will be a lil 'lip' tab on the right side where the sd card car, pull up on it, then pull out the sd card
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kitbaty:
Yeah, I got the card out. Will have to go out tomorrow and get the adapter.

I just wonder why my phone will not restart all the way. It is so close. I even see notifications! My wife just sent me a text message. Well, I will get back to this tomorrow. Thanks!

Just got my OEM MHL HDMI Adapter (Ebay $11...US seller for OEM, that's a steal)...it's pretty spectacular...just streamed the watch espn app onto the TV without a cable box...impressive. The adapter essentially mirrors your phone with everything you do including orientation. Only downside is that you need to hook up a charger to the device to enable the adapter...but with the battery drain you could expect without the charger I guess it makes sense.
