[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RealPariah:
SIM Unlocking, Tmo's specifics and difference between SIM Unlock and Phone Root

You are fine no matter what you do after unlock. What this is is it is telling the phone that it can use any SIM card [GSM] and it does nto have to be a Tmobile type and is stored in such a way changing anything else will not affect it [JUST DONT DELETE YOUR /EFS OR FORMAT INTERNAL USB STORAGE YOU ARE ASKING FOR INSTA-BRICK!!].

T-Mobile's policy is thus:

After 3 months of FULL bill pays after purchasing a phone [90 days in case someone buys in feb or counts exact days LoL] you may request a SIM Unlock code [NOT SAME AS ROOTING THE PHONE]

After that you can use the phone with ANY GSM SIM [as long as carrier in question supports your 4G freqs or you get what iPhones get on Tmo 2G and not 4G service].

SIM Unlocks are especially handy in several cases...

If you travel to another country and rent or purchase just a SIM card you dont have to pay intl call rates when calling

Your family uses ATT and you have Tmo and your family memeber broke their phone and would like to use their SIM in your phone to make calls on their number

You want to move to ATT but like the better CPU and GPU in the TMo Galaxy S2 and would like to keep the T989 [again you may or may not get 4G service but you could use 2G and make calls no problem]

Otherwise unlocking your SIM is not a HUGE deal [unless above scenarios are what you are after]

Most Newbs confuse a SIM unlock with Rooting their phones

ROOTING: Basically logs you in as an admin account when phone boots instead of a restricted User account

SIM UNLOCKING allows you to use another GSM service with your TMobile phone and/or allows you to purchase Foreign Country SIM Cards and make local calls when travelling in that country [again you may or may not [most likely NOT] get 4G but you would get 2G data and could make calls no problem.

Hey guys I couldn't find the forum for the ROM so i had to make a new thread i apologize for that. I got the ROM download link in one of the other threads someone had just posted a link to download it. its the DFT freedom V1 For sprint HTC Arrive. Anyways, the issue that i am having is that when i put my phone on WiFi it works for about 5 minutes and than it just stops working. As soon as i take it off of WiFi the data or app loads right up. I was curious if anyone else that is on Sprint and is running this ROM has had any problems? or if someone could please post a link to the thread with that ROM so that i can see if maybe there is an update? I love love love the ROM but this WiFi is really bugging me, i use WiFi religiously.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
[HTC 7 Pro] Zero9930:
I've always had this problem, at least in Mango. It's quite annoying and I have to toggle my wifi off and back on again. If there is a fix I'd sure like to know.
[HTC 7 Pro] N_ZzZ:
Are you connecting anything to your shared WiFi? Because if you don't the connection automatically shuts down. I believe it does this this to save on battery and to save on data.
[HTC 7 Pro] killerkhatiby009:
Yea I've had the same issue not really sure how to fix it. Hopefully it's fixed in the next release
[HTC 7 Pro] IM0001:
Ran into something somewhat similar, will have to look around a bit but I found a fix is to disable Data Connection within the Cellular settings when you want WiFi to work. :/

I'll see what I can dig up otherwise.
[HTC 7 Pro] recoiledsnake:
The problem I have is that the Wifi MAC ID changes everytime the phone is rebooted or started after a shutdown. Since I filter by MAC in my router, it is a major pain to keep changing my router settings everytime the phone runs out of juice.
[HTC 7 Pro] steveoski111:
So this is a problem with Mango in general and not just the DFT rom? That's good to know. Thanks so much for the tip on shutting down the data connection when using WiFi. I will actually give that a goski.

On another note, does anyone on sprint have trouble sending picture messages? Me and my wife both have this HTC arrive on sprint and our pic mails fail almost everytime and same with receiving the pic messages. We need to turn off WiFi, restart the phone and than about 80% of the time it works. I seen on thi9s ROM that it has a spot for son setting and maybe if I fill that out it will work?

Also, does anyone have a link to the rom I mentioned in the first post? I'm on the HTC arrive sprint dft v1 for gold and was curious if there is any updates on the rom.

One last thing lol, is there anyway to do a complete backup of the phone and apps so that when we flash to a new rom it backs everything up? Thanks in advance!

Steveo
[HTC 7 Pro] Zero9930:
I had problems with MMS failing all the time too. I fixed it by changing the network profile and prl. After that it's never had a problem. Hope that helps.
[HTC 7 Pro] steveoski111:
So i wentto settings than celluar and i did the update profile and theupdate prl and my picture messages still fail every single time. So i dont know what is going on. My wife has the same phone and the same rom and she also has the same problem. I dont beliebve it to be rom related because we both had the issue on sprints stock mango wp7 rom.

Recently i have been having trouble with my phone going and staying in 1x mode. i dont know what is causing it and i looked around for the APN setting thati would use for this phone and wasnt able to find ones that matched what it asked for in there. Does anyone have the APN settings? I just hard reset my device to see if that fixes it.
[HTC 7 Pro] steveoski111:
Is there a dedicated thread about the DFT rom? i keep getting 1x on my phone making it pretty useless and i checked my wifes phone and same story, i keep posting my questions here because i dont want tot pollute and i cant find the DFT rom for Sprint thread if there is one. any help?

or anyone know the proper APN settings?
[HTC 7 Pro] bdlou:
Just wanted to bump on this. This WiFi issue is brutal. Is there no official support channel for this DFT ROM? I'm going to have to move to a different ROM soon, as it doesn't seem to fail over gracefully from WiFi to data. :(

Good thread, thanks.

Side note: Does class matter? I generally purchase class 10 only.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Hawkysoft:
If you mean if it matters for the post, I think so (the more details the better).

Else yes class 10 should be the fastest,although I'm very pleased with the current one I have, since it plays full HD without a problem
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] soulctcher:
You're really not gaining much by moving from class 4/6 to class 10 in a device like this. There's not really going to be much need in a tablet to have sustained write speeds like class 10 offers, and you won't notice the difference between those 3 classes unless you're really doing very specific things.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Hawkysoft:
I thought you need class 6 at least to play 1080p without hiccups? I could be wrongly informed here though.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] soulctcher:
The class only determines the sustained write speeds. Different cards will read and write differently. Additionally, as far as 1080p playback is concerned, that really depends on multiple factors such as sustained and burst read speeds, cache size, and video decoding method. With a good class 4 card, you could still play 1080p back, but that's why I stated 6 as well. For cost efficiency, I would use a class 6 card to get the best of all worlds.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] darkbahamut:
I can't remember who it was, but someone has posted a picture of a Lexar (IIRC) 128GB SDXC card inserted into the dock and working fine in the past.

I am trying to find this, but so far no luck, could you supply any evidence so i can add this to the list?

Hehe, just had to eject mine to see what they were - 32GB Class 10 Samsung MicroSD in the Prime itself and a Lexar Professional 128GB SDXC in the Dock. Took me a while to get this working as had find something to read it then reformat to NTFS or EXFAT or something, cant remember now but gives me 114gb formatted.

Needless to say my work trips away are inevitably more movietastic nowadays than when I had an iPad.

I have a 32Gb Samsung class 10 and have it formated using exFAT. When I first got it I did some testing using exFAT vs NTFS and got better performance out of exFAT (not a great deal of improvement but still)

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] stanglifemike:
I'm using a Sandisk 32GB Class 4 micro-sd card in my Prime and it works perfect. Same card that I use in my Evo 3D. I bought 3 of these cards a while back when 1Sale A Day had them on sale for really cheap.

One question I have about cards in general being used in the Prime.

1. Does it always show the sd card icon in the bottom-right bar? Anyway to get rid of that?

2. Is there anyway to set the camera app to use the sd card for storage? My current phone and all previous ones were able to do this very easily. In fact most do it automatically when a sd card is inserted.

Thanks for any answers. Been reading in the Prime section a good bit lately. Just bought my less than 2 weeks ago and I'm loving it!! Plan to get the Asus Pad Infinity when it comes out as well.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tommedema:
I just cannot seem to find reasonably priced 64GB or 128GB MicroSD cards in The Netherlands.

Does anyone know where to get them? Free shipping Europe shops like Amazon.de and Amazon.co.uk are also OK.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fordwolden:
I bought four 64gb Class 10 UHS-I microsd's, two for prime (Alot of out of town work so they're filled with media), one for the gf's SG3 and one for my next phone. Haven't tried it with my Desire HD yet. :)

The description claims it has problems with Android 4.0 but I haven't encountered

any issues at all, formatted at both Fat32 and NTFS.

I got them on ebay for less than 70 bucks, that's a steal.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tommedema:
Hmm, cheapest I can find them in Holland is 64 euros per card... you're saying you got them all for 70 dollars?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fordwolden:
Oh no, that's $70 per item. Still I think that's cheap, not many months ago

the cheapest I could find a 64gb class 6 was about $150 so the prices dropped dramatically recently.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tommedema:
I just ordered SanDisk Ultra Class 10 microSDXC Ultra 64GB from amazon.de (http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B007JTKM30/ref=ox_ya_os_product).

Do you think it will work? I sure hope so.

I can confirm that both of these cards work flawlessly in my prime.

G.Skill 32GB Class 10

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231577

The PNY card even survived a week on the floor of a Mellow Mushroom (Pizza joint) after it had accidentally ejected from the prime. A waitress found it a week later and all the way across the restaurant from where I was sitting.

Transfer rates on both cards tested correctly for their class using h2testw (sd card testing software).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fordwolden:
See two posts above your own post, that's the same card!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tommedema:
Thanks, though he didn't state that they were Sandisk :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fordwolden:
As far as I know and fom what I have seen on estores and ebay, only sandisk

has delivered a 64 gb class 10 microsd, I might be wrong though.

I have both the class 6 and the class 10 64gb sandisk cards and as I transfer alot of big media

files to the card the class 10 is worth every penny.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tommedema:
Awesome, and it only cost me 55 euros :)

How would I choose between one of these two cards for the keyboard dock?

€35 Komputerbay 64GB SDXC High-Speed Klasse 10

€36 Platinum 64 GB Class 10 SDXC
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fordwolden:
Actually I would choose neither. I stay on the top 3 brands (Sandisk, Transcend and Lexar) to be certain. A quick search "64 gb sdxc class 10" on ebay gave me a Transcend class 10 @35 euro and a Sandisk UHS-I (Class 10) @ 44 euro. If I were to recommend something it would be something like that.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tommedema:
Hmm, I can't seem to find those, at least not shipping to The Netherlands.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] HeartWare42:
I can confirm that the following two cards work in my TF201 + Dock:

Sandisk 64 Gb MicroSDXC (exFAT)

amazon.com/SanDisk-Ultra-microSDXC-Adapter-SDSDQUA-064G-U46A/dp/B007WTAJTO/ref=sr_1_4

Sandisk 128 Gb Sandisk 128 GB Extreme SDXC UHS-I (FAT32, probably exFAT as well)

amazon.com/Sandisk-Extreme-Memory-45MBps-Speeds/dp/B006ZH1WVS/ref=sr_1_1

(can't post links yet, so you'll need to copy/paste).

However, the 64 Gb MicroSD one doesn't work in my TF700T pad (whereas a 32 Gb MicroSD card works in both my TF201 and TF700T).

Any explanation for this discrepancy? I have tried formatting the 64 Gb MicroSD card in both FAT32, exFAT and NTFS, and none of these works in my TF700T pad (the message "Preparing external storage" or whatever very briefly flashes in the notification area, but no card is mounted).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ahlerl:
I'm using ADATA 32GB microSDHC UHS-I Memory Card (AUSDH32GUI-RA1) and it's worked flawlessly. It even seems to sit almost flush with the side of the prime. Unlike some of the others that I've tried.

- Kingston 2GB Micro SD Card SDC/2GB-2P1A (EAN 740617131338)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pileot:
Only real difference your going to notice is when your transferring all that media to the card from your computer. The internal SD host controller is going to be somewhere in the neighborhood of class 4 to 6? so your not going to see a difference in class 10 unless the card is directly connected to the computer.

Hi

New TF201 user here - just picked up pre-owned one that has been rooted and had Cyanogenmod Jelly Bean on it. Got a SANDisk SDXC 128GB which my pad complained was faulty on the standard EXFAT formatting, have reformatted to NTFS and the system no longer complains about that but still will not mount. There is no error message just the option to mount it which tries to do something then immediately stops.

Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

Actually I've managed to fix this myself by installing the Paragon exFAT, NTFS & HFS+ app from the play store
[Samsung Infuse 4G] heidisory:
I've tried to search but I haven't seen anything about this...

I was running a leaked GB a while back, I believe it was 2.3.5, and I was having a TON of issues (phone would shut off randomly, I'd turn it back on to a once full battery completely drained). Anyway, I went back to Froyo to try and just clear everything out and start over, when I noticed that AT&T finally released GB on Infuse?! Only to take it away now that I know about it because of "glitches".

Anyway, there's an OTA update that my phone keeps trying to install... it's 19173KB (19MB?) and I hang around 21-25% every time I try to download it.

Is this Gingerbread? What is it? (I'm clear back on 2.2.1 so who knows)

Can I use the newest GB on here without having the same issues? The poor phone had sooo many problems it was saddening, which is what I'm trying to avoid.

Oh another thought, is the fact that I'm of course rooted keeping me from successfully doing an OTA update?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jimjcollins:
Its a froyo maintenance update.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] heidisory:
Good to know :)

I FINALLY have a version of GB that doesn't shut off on me and drain my battery all the time...

But now, after flashing dman's UCLB3, my phone will not read an SD card at all...

I've reformatted them, used different ones... nothing. I got the whole video thing to work though, which is a plus!

Any ideas?

(I'd post this over in that thread, but I don't have 10 posts yet, so I'll just stick to my lil thread over here)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] qkster:
When you flash dman's uclb3, there is a change in the access of the microsd card.

flashing entropy's kernel may fix this

there is also a method to fix this in his thread...myself and others have discussed this...read the main thread..it will show you how to change it.

you can also read the first 10 pages of vagabond..there is a fix there also
[Samsung Infuse 4G] heidisory:
Lol thanks, after I posted this and messaged you I started to look around a bit more... the first couple of searches didn't turn it up, but I'm finally finding some info on it.

the things we do to get gb working... sigh :)

PS - we need more mac friendly stuff! I don't like having to turn on my crazy desktop of doom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RPK925:
Hi this is my first Samsung Android, and I'm kinda confused about the storage layout. Iam on 2.3.4 stock, unrooted. It has regular internal sd memory, external memory(sd card), and device memory. I have the apps2sd app, but when I move the app it just goes to the regular internal memory, how do I get it to save to my actual sd memory card? Also what is the device memory and what gets saved there, or used for?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Alucardis666:
There's 2 'memory cards' The phone has 16gb of internal storage and you can install your own Micro SD memory card in as well. Pending your rom or kernel/recovery the designation... *at least as far as the phone cares* of which card is which can change.

Also some Rom will have an option in the settings and will ask you where you'd like to install yours apps. *system/internal, sd card, or let the system decide.*

Experiment and you'll get it with time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] alacrify:
Connect it to your computer - it should mount internal and external as two different drive letters. When you're looking at files while *on* you phone (in stock, at least), you should see an "external_sd" under /mnt/sdcard - that's the removable memory card.
