[General Questions and Answers] the_metal:
do you know that mobile carriers can identify everything to a handset with just an IMEI

i don't know what is the procedures in your country but i think you should call that carrier and ask for directions especially if you have a proof of purchase or something similar

i wish you could luck friend
[General Questions and Answers] onlymojo:
My question is, did you inform your carrier? Here, when that happened to my friend who wasn't too tech saavy, I called his carrier, had the phone blocked right away, and told them what network it was on via the same information that you received via email. The actually contact the manufacturer and the police and were able to track it down on their network, find the phone and press charges. That IMEI number is huge as it tells the carrier what exact tower the phone is connected to. In densely populated areas, that's 1-2km max. Cross reference the people at work that live in that area and boom. Done like dinner.

Did you try Samsung Dive website??

www.samsungdive.com
[General Questions and Answers] AnthonyElbers:
Yeah I know that, but I called both the police and my carrier and gave them my IMEI and asked if they could do such thing.. and both said that they can't do such a thing, ONLY if the phone has the original SIM card... I think they just don't want to help me at all.

Tried that one. But I need to set it up on my phone first. Keep in mind that the phone is allready stolen and the SIM card has been changed.

Hello I just started using Google voice recently and absolutely love the idea to make free calls with it. I was just wondering if there is anyway to have my actual cell number displayed as my caller ID when I call people instead of my Google voice number.

Thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mattymac:
You can port your cellphone number to Google Voice.

http://support.google.com/voice/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1065667

Let me know if that helps.

This does terminate your contract tho, which could be problematic.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dkotoric:
ya terminating is not a option
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mattymac:
This isn't an ultimate solution but you can register your info with your google voice number so it displays your name with your google voice number. http://www.listyourself.net/

....at least they will know who is calling.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
I would be weary of this. To me its like signing up for a bunch of telemarketer spam. Anybody?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
You can't unless you port your number to Google Voice. Either port your current # or give out the Google Voice number to your friends and family. That's how it works.

If you're lucky you can get a GV # that's similar to your current #. I got a GV # that is the same 7-digit # but with a different area code.

But it really doesn't matter, no one remembers numbers anymore. Once they put it in their address book then it just looks like you're calling either way.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tidbits:
You can port your number without canceling your contract. I have done it before and numerous people have done it as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
Once Google gets MMS working, I'll probably try to do that. The Google Voice integration is the only thing I have missed since leaving Sprint.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
How so? The act of taking your number from a carrier and porting it to another (in this case Google Voice) breaks your contract.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tidbits:
Not if you request it yourself and do some leg work and pay $28($10 for GV, and $18 for Verizon). Might be $38 $20 for GV port. I did mine long ago when Google first offered porting.

Your old number will be in GV and you'll get a new number and no canceled contract.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Ah that makes more sense.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hykhleif:
well that is what I was afraid of when I bought the note, the paint job of the bezel disappointed me, especially at the headphone plug, it seems that the paint job is really poor, i ended noticing that the paint started to flicker, what a disappointment i hope that it will not get bigger.

I almost knew from the start that it would flake easily especially at weak points like plug in areas, i wish to know how to fix it, but i saw some video and taking it appart is hell, maybe i should consider giving it a brushed look bezel
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mintu123:
I.had mine about a month.no paint issue.never put hard cover on any samaung device.it will peel paint off from bazel.i learned the hard way putting on my infuse.i had tp replace the whole bazel and about 5 min.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kanej2006:
I've had my Note for around 3 months.

2 weeks back I was sick, having fever, throat & ear infection.

I took a visit to the hospital and unfortunately dropped the phone whilst sitting down.

I was so sick & weak the phone slipped whilst in my hand.

Thankfully the damage was minimal. The only minor mark was on the upper left hand corner of the bezel, a slight discolouration.

I too would like to change my bezel.

Would you be kind enough to post a link to a video which shows how to dismantle the bezel & then put back?

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mintu123:
just get it from ebay,its like $30 original.its very easy.remove battery sim and sdcard and remove 9 screws and use ur thumb under the battery and carefully push screen part out.there is a guide in general how to replace a screen.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tytung2020:
no hard cover...you mean no hard cases for Note?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kanej2006:
Thanks a bunch!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] intruda119:
Every bezel ive come across is a piece of ****.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mintu123:
Yes.dont use hard case.if u have to put case on it use them rubber cases.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hykhleif:
are you sure that its easy to replace the bezel, are there no wires or stuff to take apart when changing the bezel. So its only removing the 9 screws.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jezza333:
My first Note went for a swim with me in salt water so naturally I tried a few things to get it working again, including removing as many components as possible. The bezel is part of the back cover that the battery sits snug against on all edges, and if you use both thumbnails to separate the screen from this bezel/backplate then it should come off after a bit of manipulation.

IMO it's not worth replacing as one mistake will cause another mark and you'll never be satisfied with it unless it's as new. I've found that only after you get a few nicks and bumps that you actually use it like it's meant to be - used. It's not being careless but spending more time using it than being super cautious is where it's at. :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] markvann:
Hello forum-members! :)

I have a question I really want to ask: How can I update my Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660 from stock 2.3.3 to CyanogenMod 9.0.0?

With CM9, I mean the version for Gio, as found on this page:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1414173

At the moment, my mobile is like this:

Firmware: stock 2.3.3

PDA: S5660XXKPS

PHONE: S5660XXKPA

CSC: S5660XENKP1

Rooted using the update.zip-methode, installed Titanium Backup

ClockWorkMod-based Recovery v5.0.2.6 installed (But I still have a problem with it, it says things like 'E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command' and 'E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log', no idea if I have to fix this or not...)

So, how can I update this stock 2.3.3 to CM9? I only have a lot of experience with jailbreaking, but not with flashing ROMS and installing special Android tools, so a bit of step-by-step guide.

If you think updating to CM7 is better for me, since that's a more complete ROM, please say it, which CM7 ROM, and how it can be done :)

I hope someone is able to help me, as I would really like to use a nice ROM on my Gio :D
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] voetbalremco:
You should use cm7.2, its stable and fast..
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] SilviuMik:
Taken from guide:

Flash Cyanogenmod 9:

Download and copy the latest CM9 ROM to SD Card http://bm.zxy.me/kitchen/download/gio/cm9_galaxyics-gio-ota-eng.maju-alpha3.zip
Reboot to Recovery Mode
Select Install zip from sd card
Select Choose zip from sd card
Select the new CM9 rom package
Select Yes - Install update
Wait till the Installation is finish
Now select Wipe data/factory reset
Confirm
Now reboot to phone.
Wait and enjoy CM9 on your Galaxy Gio

Good luck :P and yes i get those errors too in CWM

Maybe u should wait a little Maclaw said we will get a new alpha / beta this days with more fixes, up to u
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] voetbalremco:
Note once more: you should wait for a more stable release of cm9
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] markvann:
Okay, I am still thinking what I am going to flash on my phone... But one thing; If I do it the way you just posted here, I don't have to install CM7.2 before installing CM9? :)
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] voetbalremco:
No, you dont..
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] markvann:
Okay! :)

Well, to be honest, I think I will flash CM9 on my Gio if a new version comes out.

But what if it turns out wrong, or when the ROM does not meet my expectations? Is there a easy way to return to the stock 2.3.3 firmware? :)
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] voetbalremco:
Flash clockworkmod recovery, make a backup, wich means all dats cache system will be backed up, so you can flash cm7 or 9 without problems and restore the full rom via the backup if you dont like it
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] markvann:
Yes, I already flashed a version of ClockWorkMod (px-CWM-v2.zip), but as I mentioned in my first post, I have a problem with it... Do you maybe know a solution? I heard something about ext4 or something like that to fix it?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] phiexz:
u're installed wrong version of cwm

that cwm only work on cyanogenmod/custom rom with ext4 filesystem

u should use this one

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] markvann:
Okay, thank you!

One last question: if I update to CM9, will my baseband get updated?

If so, will my carrier still work with my phone?

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] markvann:
Please, help me!

I installed CM9 beta 3 on my gio, after flashing the CWM-version phiexz posted here in this topic (http://www.mediafire.com/?3umwbz3gg6oo6c6). I did everything discribed in the topic of CM9 for Gio port.

But after all this, it stucks on saying 'ANDROID'. If I turn off the phone, it automatically turns on again. I can still enter CWM Recovery, but if I click on 'restore backup' (because I made a backup of my stock ROM before flashing CM9), it says:

Checking MD5 sums...
Eresing boot before restore...
Restoring boot image...
Restoring system...
E:format_volume: format_rfs_device failed on /dev/block/stl12
Error while formatting /system!

My question now is:

Is there a way I can make CM9 work on my Gio (I prefer this one), restore my backup, or connect to Kies, so I can place a clean stock ROM on my Gio?

I hope someone can help me!
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] voetbalremco:
Note that cm9 is not in beta 3 but alpha status.

You can flash cm7, same instructions as cm9, much more stable.

Try installing a different version of CWM and restore

Or read tutorials how to use ODIN and flash stock rom
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] markvann:
Thank you for your reply!

I was already planning to flash CM7 now, but there was only one thing I was still wondering about.

The Cyanogenmod 7 instructions topic says:

Will the part (here marked in red) still work? And, if so; how to use this? I mean: since my main system is not booting anymore...
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] markvann:
Oh, wait! :D

I flashed the file ext4-formatter.zip and afterwards, I tried flashing CM9 again, and it worked! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] SilviuMik:
Nice . Tell me from which country u buyed your phone and what carrier and maybe i can give u stock rom so u have it in case of trouble
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] markvann:
Oh, that would be really nice! I bought my phone in my own country (The Netherlands) and my carrier is BEN NL (part of T-Mobile in The Netherlands). But if it might help: I posted my baseband version etc. in my first post of this topic :)
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] voetbalremco:
Cm9 booted??? All firmware is on sammobile.net , also kies firmwares, but the site is not connected to samsung

By the way if you used ext4 formatter zip you use an version of cwm wich has been removed back to construction to bugs, so you should use another one, in the same thread

Stuck at blank screen after samsung logo

Dear all, I'm new here on this forum, but have been following custom rom threads from a long time.

I own a Samsung Galaxy Gio too. It had 2.3.4 stock rom before and I planned to update it to CM9 beta Custom ROM. I rooted the device successfully, installed CMW recovery successfully, downloaded the CM9 zip file and copied it to SD card. Installed the CM9 ROM succesfully, however still I get a blank screen after samsung logo.

I tried all the available methods from this forum but phone is still stuck. No matter I wipe data/factory settings before the flashing ROM or after, no matter I try flashing ROM before formatting to ext4 or after. I'm still stuck on that annoying blank screen even after 10 mins.

I've the old backup, but I really want to use my phone with CM9 on it! Any one got any clue whats wrong? :confused:

I was looking for something to work on to gain a little more experience with photoshop so I adjusted one of the wallpapers from Zedge or somewhere to fit my screen properly. I will be happy to modify others if you send me the file. Please include any specifications i.e. you want the main image to show below the clock or at the top or centered etc. Just find this image in gallery and set it as wallpaper after choosing the correct screen type it shouldn't need any cropping.

If this isn't useful just let me know and I'll remove the post. I've been using these awesome roms for a couple months now, and I'd like to make some sort of contribution to the group, and since none of these devs would likely have the amount of time needed to get me rolling making roms worth using I'll try this for now.

Now I am able to get it to work once I Restart my phone and connect it again but it will not connect to the media once I shut off my car and get back in. I have to restart my phone every time I get into my car if I want to play music through it. Just curious if anyone else was having this issue.

It's a known issue with all of the ICS roms based off the current leak they are based on, it will probably be broken until a leak with a fix or an official ICS build for the Rezound comes out.

[LG Optimus 2x] Bochdalek:
Hi,

I have managed to flash CM7 on my optimus 2x.

Much better than the stock rom.

However I have an anoying issue, my 3G connection is very unstable. When I use a speedtest or just surf on the internet, my phone automatically goes back to 2G (Edge). Then after a few seconds the 3G connection is back. This also happens in places where I have full 3G reception. Also I have noticed that the download speeds are much lower than with my old phone. Could this be a problem with the RIL or the baseband. Or maybe should I try tamosek's kang build ?

I have bb 725 with RIL v20l.

Thx for your help
[LG Optimus 2x] Trystan34:
Hi there,

If you have stable CM7 I would rather recommend Temasek's Kang because it is better than the stable version or nightlies. Temasek put new or other things in the rom those are referred as cherry-picks. So a KANG is actually an improved CM stable ROM. I would also recommend Vadonka's kernel ETaNa-REV1 which will increase your battery life a lot and can speed up your phone with ram hacks. With the 3G problem you should try GetRIL and download your recommended RIL combination.

You do not need Temasek's Kang or Vadonka's kernel to fix your 3G problem; it’s just a suggestion :)

Good Luck :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Bochdalek:
Thanx for your answer, I will certainly give Temasek's Kang or Vadonka's kernel a try :) Is the combination of Vadonkas kernel and Temaseks rom more stable than CM7 and stock kernel ?

I have already downloaded Getril and made sure that bb and rill match. But it doesn't seem to be solving my problems :(
[LG Optimus 2x] SREEPRAJAY:
I remember that the BB and matching RIL for the CM7 or even Temasek's Kang is 218 and not the one you have mentioned.

Some also use 824 BB

maybe the change of BB would make the difference
[LG Optimus 2x] Bochdalek:
So you say I have to use nonmatching RIL and BB ? I'd rather not change the baseband since sound quality during calls is fine :)
[LG Optimus 2x] SREEPRAJAY:
u have to use the matching BB and RIL for sure....but , the combo of BB and RIL makes the communication perfect....wifi,voice calls,sound quality, 3G and so on
[LG Optimus 2x] clockia:
you may update your BB and ril

e.g. v20q BB& v10d ril is good for my phone

however, the best combination just depend on where you live

besides, I suggest you change the rom. some roms that are overclocked may also lead to connection problem
