[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoobProof:
i had this problem with my phone a few times, i am living in turkey and i am with turkcell right now. i managed to solve it with a few steps:

1. turn on airplane mode from the settings page (not from the power menu). make sure you see the airplane logo in the status bar.

2. reboot to recovery and wipe cache only

3.when the phone boots up from recovery, turn off airplane mode from settings, and go to mobile networks page. select network operators. it will search for a while, go grab yourself a cup of coffee. after 5 minutes or so, wake up the phone and you will see the signal bars and phone is functional again!

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhiru1602:
Are you subscribed to 3G services? It seems like the Samsung RIL implementation toggles to 2G mode quicker than Hacked RIL implementations that are on CM7 and MIUI which don't work so perfectly.

If you are not subscribed to 3G services, the phone would try to register on the 3G network upon Network Toggle or Airplane Toggle quite a while before actually switching to 2G. At this stage, you get the No Service bug which lasts quite long on CM7 or MIUI before getting back to 2G and getting a Network lock.

Have you tried using the 2G only mode and see if it gets better?

Unfortunately, RIL Implementations are properitary to Samsung and we won't be able to use them on AOSP based roms due to lack of source code.

[Defy General] zakoo2:
have you wiped data/cache yet? looks like you havent, because if you did, you wouldnt get bootloop after flashing an sbf. enter stock recovery (when switched off, hold volume down, and then press the power button. hold them down till the m logo shows up. after that, a triangle with an android figure will show up, press vol up and vol down az the same time), wipe cache/data, and try again!
[Defy General] Bleak3993:
IT WORKS!!!!, ohhh, i totally forgot how to enter the stock recovery and the wipe after flash an sbf, thanks you, really.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] dg2445:
I purchased an HTC View online and received it today. Has anyone had any luck registering one of these on Sprint without signing a contract? I tried at my local Sprint store and didn't have any luck. It's a "good" Sprint store too - one that understands customer service and usually bends over backwards to make their customers happy.

I'm currently a Sprint customer and would like to sign up for their $20/mo plan for times when wifi isn't available.

Apologies if this has already been discussed - I did some searching and couldn't find any useful information.

Thank you.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] butterflygirl:
They still make you sign a two year contract. I couldn't get around it. However, if a newer device comes out on Sprint, you should be able to upgrade immediately, provided you didn't buy through Sprint initially and have to wait for their upgrade.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] huynhc:
Yeah they make you sign a contract. They also offer a prepaid option but the monthly rate is 45 with 1.5gb of 3g/4g. They also have daily and weekly plans. Think its like 15 foe day and 30 for week. I forget. I'm running on the monthly right now just to test it out.... works good so far.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] megabyte2365:
Sprint sucks! I went to the store because I saw the news flash on prepaid. Store said they have no prepaid. I called sprint and they said no and transerred me to Boost, they offered it (wrong). Disconnected twice, then I called local boost store, only boost handsets can join.

I gave up and while playing with it last night, I found the prepaid option on the activation screen. I selected the month (daily and weekly were options) for 49.99 and and used my cc on the screen and 4G works pretty good.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] m3latino:
I bought my View from ebay without contract. I called Sprint and after some haggling got on the $19.99 plan with no contract. They did however charge me an activation fee of $36 which I called later about and had it waived.

Like it so far and use it when I dont want to burn my Evo 3d's battery when tethering.

Also I have an upgrade available on this new line that I might use for an upgraded phone. That would mean a new contract though on that View line.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] abhaxus:
Always better to call rather than go into the store for something that is outside of official policy. We are tracked on everything we do so unless it's an honest mistake the store usually won't do something like that.

Just call care and make a reasoned argument.. Be patient and calm and keep hanging up and calling back later till you get someone who will do it.

Otherwise you should be able to do the month to month option for 50... But I'm sure you can eventually get someone to do the 19.99 1gb plan with no contract. I haven't looked into how to do it as a customer so I will get back to you when I go back to work. Merry Christmas!

Edit: forgot to mention, if you get calls or texts rating the service, rate them as perfect and that they fixed your issue on the first call even if they can't. Not fair to penalize them for something they aren't supposed to do. Unless they are jerks, lol.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] psijac:
No one in store or in customer service on the phone knows about the pay as you go data plan.

I could only activate mine using the $49.99 option I accidently left remeber my credit card check and got a message about how sprint will automatically renew for me thanks:mad:

tried to find a place in Sprint Zone to change it no luck. Tried to create an online account to manage it nope. Looks like I am canceling my credit card in a month
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] meconfu5ed:
I also bought an Evo View from ebay. Today I went to Sprint and bought an iphone4S. Then I came home and moved my service over to the Evo View. (This won't work online- you have to use Sprint Zone on the tablet). Now I've got my Evo on a two year plan for $20/month and an iPhone I can sell.

*edit- unable to add source link since I'm a new user- search fatwallet for more info*
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] abhaxus:
This is an awesome idea.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ORTOX:
I did this same exact thing. Worked great! The Sprint rep seemed a little confused at first when she asked me "what kind of a device are you transferring you iPhone 4S' service to?" Once I told her it was an HTC Evo View tablet, she witched it right over to a tablet plan.

I sold the iPhone on ebay for $530 which payed for the phone and the tablet.

Just make sure to tell the rep at the store not to open the iPhone! That way you can sell it sealed.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] j0emv:
I'm trying to convince sprint to let me activate this thing without contract. So far I've talked to 3 or 4 different folks and nobody seems to want to budge. There's no way I'm signing a 2 year contract on this thing.. Anyone else had any luck?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Big_O:
Why bother lol. Just tether the flyer by usb cable or wifi hotspot from your smartphone. Works great.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] j0emv:
I have an iphone on at&t so tethering, meh probably not worth the effort.. this is the first android device that really stuck with me and I love it so I'd love to have data on the go.. Now to get rid of the xoom (I hate that thing sooo much) :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] m3latino:
After haggling with some reps I managed to get the 1gb plan month to month. Took some time but it's active with no contract. I am however going to cancel the service since I hardly use it to justify the fee.

This was back in mid December.

Sent from my Evo 3D
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] TascoKid:
I just activated a Samsung Galaxy Tab with Sprint, and when they said there would be a contract, I told them I wasn't interested. The guy persisted, so I said "thanks anyway, but I'll pass." He then said he'd check with his supervisor, and after a couple minutes came back with the same story. I told him once again I wasn't interested in a 2 year contract and that I'd just forget about it. He said he'd try "one last time" with his supervisor or account services. At that point I knew I was in, and sure enough he came back on with an account services rep who explained that if I wanted to cancel I'd have to call and let them know, to not just abandon the service. No problem. So it is possible, you just have to be persistent and if at first you don't succeed, try again with another rep on another day.
[HTC Wildfire S] Philippe Lemay:
This has been a problem with my device since the very begining, and I would like to know if it's a general problem with Android, if it's a specific problem with the Wildfire S, or if it's just that god hates me and he gives me the devices with all the horrible bugs (see this thread for my other inexplicable bug that no one else seems to have).

Sometimes, when I go into the market and try and download app updates, the update goes through it's process of installation, the progress bar fills up and everything... then right as it's about to finish I get an error. "Update failed, please try again." It's very inconsistent too, sometimes I'll try and download an update a few times, and on the third attempt it gets it. Other times the app won't be able to update for months at a time. My mobile has been trying to get an update for "Cut the Rope" for over 3 weeks now. It gets so annoying I turn the WiFi off because he keeps throwing "Updates Available!" notifications at me that are completely useless to me.

Anyone else have this? Or is my WF-S just cursed?
[HTC Wildfire S] d33ps1x:
Try clearing your cache. How much room have you got on your cache partition and in your data paritions?

It has to download a 15 meg or whatever installer for Cut the rope, then unpacking it then install it then delete the original installer. That takes more than 15 megs.
[HTC Wildfire S] Philippe Lemay:
How do I clear the cache?

Also, can't it use my microSD? I have a 32GB card in there.
[HTC Wildfire S] d33ps1x:
Use it for what? Can you give me some details? Is your phone S-OFF, rooted, etc?. How much internal memory do you have right now, etc.
[HTC Wildfire S] Philippe Lemay:
You said that when an app is downloaded it needs to first download a 15 MB "cache partition", I was wondering why it can't use some of the space on the microSD. As for rooting, I have a GSM Wildfire S, from what I understand those are difficult to Root... so no, I've never rooted it, and I don't think it's S-Off (I'm not sure how to check that...)

I think I have 31 MB of free internal memory capacity...

pm setInstallLocation 2 and Apps2SD with Tutorial

Forget all you heard from me before as it seems to have served to confuse you which is fine. No worries.

Read this thread

Where it says to type "adb shell pm setInstallLocation" instead to be safe type:

"adb shell pm setInstallLocation 2" which tells the phone to try to install an app to your sd card by default. 0 is auto and 1 is internal.

Keep in mind that it doesn't move 100% of the app to the phone. App libraries, Dalvik cache data and application cache data will stay on the internal memory but it will buy you some space.

That's it.

PS:

Go somewhere and get your phone XTC-Clipped. You will have a lot more options to create space such as Link2SD which moves the apps, app libraries and dalvik cache files to a second external partition you create.

The nice thing about it is DOES allow you to move widget apps and they work.

Another nice thing about it is when you put your phone into usb mass storage mode, even though the primary partition on it with all your own data, pics etc, gets unmounted in the phone and unusable, the second partition doesn't unmount and you can still run all your apps that are linked to it.

Get clipped! If you have enough for a 32 GB card you have enough to spend $20 to get your phone clipped. :)

Now

When you are done this REBOOT your phone.

Go to this Android Marketplace link and download apps2sd

WATCH the video tutorial and then start moving apps off your internal memory to your SD card.

Beware not to move things that have widgets you want to use like say Doubletwist music player or Battery Monitor. The widgets will no longer function.

Somewhere in that program is a clear application cache choice as well. Clean up your cache for more room.

30 megs is not enough to download AND install Cut The Rope to your internal memory plus your auto sync will stop working when you drop below 18 megs or so of internal space.

Buy yourself some S-ON room with that setup.

If you want to move individual programs to or from the SD card to the phone and back, etc, you can go to /Settings/Applications/Manage/ scroll to and click on the application in question and choose the option to "Move to Phone" or "Move to SD Card".

Cheers.
[HTC Wildfire S] Philippe Lemay:
I see... and this is all low risk right? I mean, getting updates to Cut the Rope would be nice, but it's not the biggest priority in the world, lol.

Also... I'm working on getting that Clip, if I have to I might just buy one... 67$ would still be cheaper than going out to buy a Nexus (from what I hear those are the easiest to Root). This clip would work with a GSM device right? That's how it does it's thing, by plugging into the SIM slot?
[Focus General] samguwang:
So I ported over my number from AT&T to Simplemobile for the 40 dollar monthly unlimited everything plan. I have everything working except data. I keep trying to change the APN but it's not working. Does anybody know exactly what settings I need to get data to work on the Samsung Focus? My phone is unlocked by the way. Thanks!
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
What exactly have you tried so far?
[Focus General] samguwang:
Thanks for the reply! Well I've tried using the Samsung Network Profile app, tried changing the APN by naming the APN "simple." I've also tried using the names simplemobile, Simple Mobile, but anyways its not working. Supposedly simple is supposed to work for the HD7, but it's not working for the focus :confused:
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
I wonder...

Do this: delete all APN you have manually entered.

Change the radio to World instead of North America in Settings/Applications/radio

Then, switch the profile to AT&T from Network profile, reset, then switch back to Simplemobile and reset again.

I hope this does the trick, if it doesn't you would need specific information from Simplemobile...
[Focus General] baritono:
Type simple in both username and password. I figured it out by chance.
[Focus General] samguwang:
Thanks for the help, can you tell me exactly how you have your focus setup? I'm trying what you said and it isn't working. Do you have the samsung network app installed?
[Focus General] amit dutt:
goto the APN settings..

under APN name use value " WWW" thats it.. save it.. restart the phone (if required).
[Focus General] baritono:
So mine stopped working as well. I have an old Tmobile Dash and it works through that. I do have the Network profile installed as well as the Samsung tools. My focus is totally unlocked, but right now it makes no difference.
[Focus General] baritono:
So, I deleted the APN and started from scratch. Network settings installed as well as Samsung tools with the 3G marker checked. Even though the 3G cannot work on Tmobile, when I enabled it and then typed in simple for APN, it works.

Hope this helps.
[Focus General] bigeyedphish:

Hey can you guys please explain how you got the data and MMS to work on your simple mobile unlocked Focus. I have the Network profile App, but cant find the Samsung tools app on the market place.

[Focus General] ekoostik:
I think that I have internet working on my Samsung Focus on Simple Mobile. I say 'think', because often when I try to open a website I am taken to the url androidapi.t-mobile.com/apppack/mvno.html which displays a 503 error. I tested just now by turning off wi-fi, trying to open a web page over and over again. I got this URL and 503 error a few times and then a web page finally loaded. It's not terribly useful, but it occasionally works - so I'm assuming this is more a problem with the connection than with the settings. Sometimes the cell indicator flips between an E and a G. I don't know what the G means, it's not documented that I could find.

I cannot get MMS to work, and based on my research and some others have said this too, it cannot be made to work. Samsung has an app called "Network Profile" that will change the MMS settings for the Focus, but there is no option for Simple Mobile. Until Samsung updates the app for Simple Mobile, we are out of luck.

The settings I use to get data/internet to work on my Focus are:

Under: Settings - Cellular

Data connection: On

Data roaming options: Don't Roam

Network selection: Automatic

Edit/Create APN

APN: simple

User name: [blank]

Password: [blank]

Proxy server/URL: 216.155.165.50

Proxy port: 8080

Windows Phone 7 & Simple Mobile & Internet

The thing I think that is left out of most of the instructions is to go to the secret menu by going to the dialer and entering ##634# and then go to MMS and change the apn there to simple.

Now my Dell Venue Pro is on Simple Mobile and the Internet finally works!
[Focus General] mgreen404:
How did you change you MMS settings in diagnostic mode? I can only see the code but cannot find a code to edit the mms or data settings.
[Focus General] pitflyer:

[Focus General] vt2912:
Try reboot your phone
[Focus General] ekoostik:
The reason most people leave that step out is because it is not a step they can follow. The original question was about the Focus, and the Focus doesn't let users specify the MMS settings. From what I've read, only the Dell Venue Pro gives users direct access to the MMS settings. Which is why it's the only WP7 phone that Simple Mobile officially supports for MMS.

Samsung has a network app for the Focus that allows you to pick a carrier and then it changes the settings as appropriate. Unfortunately, it doesn't support many carriers.

I'm considering making the switch to TMobile prepaid - TMobile shows up in the nework app along with AT&T and so should be supported.

UPDATE: Switched to TMobile. Using the "Network Profile" app set to automatic network profile changing = On and Active Profile = T-Moile USA, I received MMS messages right away. Will do internet testing later. For 10 bucks less a month I would've preferred to stay with Simple Mobile, but since Microsoft / Samsung lock the MMS settings down & Samsung hasn't updated their Network Profile app to support more carriers, I had to make the switch. Glad at least the mms piece is working.
[Focus General] illitero:
I was able to successfully use both 3G data AND send/receive MMS with the following settings:

APN: simple

MMS:

MMS APC: simple

MMSC: h77p://smpl.mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapeng (Replace sevens with "t"; new user controls...)

AUTH TYPE: None

All other fields are to be left blank.

As mentioned, these settings worked for me marvelously. ...For roughly ten minutes. Then the phone wouldn't wake up, I had to do a battery pull, and mms stopped working. When I go to check the mms settings in EM, it holds onto every value (including blank ones) save for the following:

MMS PORT: (blank)

AUTH TYPE: "None"

Whenever I select "Apply" to save settings, it always force resets those two values to the following:

MMS PORT: 80

AUTH TYPE: "PAP"

Hopefully this is all easy to understand. I've tried at length to search both xda and the world-wide-webz for an answer, but I'm coming up blank. I've always been able to figure this junk out for myself, but this is my first WP7 device, and I'm all kinds of 'tarded with it, haha.
[Focus General] siralex241:
You might want to enable the automatic sim settings. This setting is off by default due to samsung. I think the reason is to keep people on the same carrier that the phone was originally intended for use ie. samsung focus Att

1. Bring up diagnotics app ##634#

2. open diagnostics app located in your apps list (swipe left from start screen)

3. in the diagnostic app type 40*047#3

4. there will be a confimation prompt to confirm autosim detection

5. then the phone will restart and you should have MMS and cellular functionality and internet

This has helped my samsung focus from dropping in and out of my 3g connection...wonderful :)...hope this works for you and confirm if it does work please.
