[General Questions and Answers] Miah87:
Hi guys,

Finally an update after 3 weeks sending in the device.

Mobicity refuse to replace the device, in fact, they are looking for a suitable OS for my Note.

I don't understand why are they doing this.

Looking for a suitable OS means my device is not behaving normally and that means it is defective. Shouldn't they be replacing it instead of looking for another OS which is 90% of the time doesn't fix the issue.

I am really not satisfied with Mobicity and won't be trading with them anymore.

What do you think guys? Anyone agree with what I think?

ok.....I have bricked and revived my phone a few dozen times, trying different ways to root on this stock rom uckh3.

Is there a good way to JUST root from this or do I need to flash a different rom?

What are you guys doing?

I'm sorry if I sound very new to this but I have tried many of the suggested ways to no avail.

I would like to root this on uckh3 because it runs so much smoother since I flashed that, but I lost root when I did, and cant seem to get root back.

Thank you in advance.

Also, sorry to the moderators if this has been posted elsewhere, but I have searched high and low before asking these questions. :(
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
no... no one ever in the past 16 months this phone has existed has anyone asked how to root the phone...

[facepalm]

superoneclick root. roots any cappy rom except kk4

any custom kernel for kh3 roots

the kh3 fugu kernel swap also works.. but you end up with no cwm

if none of that makes sense... go read stickies. read the new user guide too.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b-eock:
Why not run KK4, the latest stock ROM available? And I suggest reading some development section stuff.

Do you know how to operate ODIN?

If so use these Items

-Stock KK4

-Corn Kernel- this kernel can root from recovery...

Hey guys I just wanted some advice on how to get out of sprint contract without having to pay for early termination fee, my service in my area is bad and I have to be on roaming to be able to use my internet.. any comments will be appreciated..

Thanks..
[HTC EVO 3D] SoraX64:
Force roam or use a Verizon PRL to exceed 300MB of roaming data for a few months and they'll eventually terminate you.

im pretty sure theyre still letting people go without an ETF because of the way they are applying the corporate discounts.

They will let you go. But they aren't going to be very willing to work with you so that you can keep the same number.

[HTC EVO 3D] sitlet:
Don't force roam excessively just to get out of your contract, that's cheating and costs the rest of us more money.

If you are having signal issues at home, just email dan@sprint.com. A rep from Executive Services will call you back in a day or so. Explain your situation, and they should let you out of your contract.
[HTC EVO 3D] veladem:
if you have a computer you can get the booster from sprint for free but this will only help your in home service . . . I had my friend do this . . .

get a hotspot . . .

go over the limit . . . (my friend went over by about 95gb)

they'll call you, don't worry . . . its thousands of dollars of overage . . .

talk it through and they gave my friend the option to cancel service at no cost or to drop his hotspot. he decided to just drop the hotspot.

me and my friend use around 100gb a month cause we play our ps3's over the hacked hotspots, sorry for slowing the rest of you guys down, but i really like my gaming.

let me know if that helps.
[HTC EVO 3D] delsadarline:
I came across this post while searching on Google...I've come here many times I need answers and didn't think about asking this...but I'm desprate . My nexus which was running jellybean needed repair due to an image of a dead android...Chest cracked open frezzing on my screen...3 repairs and several levels of frustration later, they tell me they can send me an EVO to replace it. Once I recieved my EVO and went home to charge it I found I couldn't download Chrome and a lot of feature I was use to from ICS were gone..which led me to look up the system stats and find that EVO stopped at gingerbread and no more official updates in sight. I called Sprint to let them know I did not want this phone..to send me another nexus or give me early upgrade and they said they couldn't do n e thing to go to corporate store...who also could do nothing....back to the repair that gave me the EVO and still nothing that they can do...several mgr and levels of frustration later I am told that I must keep this phone because it is comparable even though my face apps don't work like they use to....I feel like I have been duped into a shiny computer running Windows 95....I'm so done! Anyone know if there is a way outta this contract?
[HTC EVO 3D] Tilde88:
threaten to bring in a lawyer should you continue to be treated so horribly. also, calling sprints 1800 number is the BEST way to get awesome and ASSURED customer service. people are dicks... and store managers usually are just an asshole who somehow landed a decent-paying job that he never deserved, nor even understand **** about phones. so yea, don't count on that local store to help you anymore.

nothing else, bring in a lawyer.

Install a Rom that allows forced roaming and do them dirty is the only thing I know of. I've heard of people getting kicked off for roaming too much, but that's just what I've heard. Good luck

Anyone know where I can get the stock usb cable？ Searched ebay but all the cables are not exactly the same as ours.

But didn't search XDA?? ;)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1435827

I hope this is what you are looking for...it's about as close as you are going to find to original and I use 2 of them so I know they work for data and charging.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cwright12:
i bought mine

my stock one got chewed up by my dog, i found that most micro-usb cables in my house only worked for charging,

finding one on ebay worked best. it looked more generic than most, no stickers on the back, but oddly enough, its the same (exterior looking) one that came with my galaxy tab.

my choice: ebay- cheap and quick shipping
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kr3w1337:
Get it from samsung
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silver03wrx:
Forget stock go to radio shack buy gold tipd micro usb/data cable. $30 and ten times the quality
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jjtitus098:
Or order from monoprice for excellent quality inexpensive cables and don't look back. Do not waste $30 on a freaking cable.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] scott14719:
I'm sure its good quality and all, but I paid under $10 for the one I got from Amazon.com (link above to the other thread) and it has worked for everything just fine. I have 2 of them now and I use them both for charging and data transfer all of the time. I guess it all depends on personal preference and how much you are willing to pay, but for $30 you can get three cables (and the 1 amp chargers with them) from Amazon if you are willing to wait 3 or 4 days for delivery. Of course, there is always the chance of getting a bad one when the seller sells 100s or 1000s of them but the same holds true for Radio Shack. I can only report the results I got.

I think the OP should buy one from Amazon.com ($10) and send me $10 also...still saving $10 in the process. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Lucidmike:
I prefer the stock SGH-i777 charger and cable over the SGH-i727 ones. You can get factory 2nd OEM ones on ebay for less than $5 with free shipping.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-Samsung...Accessories&hash=item2a1a6cb3f6#ht_1490wt_905

Just a warning. Factory second means they have some scratches on the plastic charger. But the cables were brand spanking new. I ordered 3 of these. The SGH-i777 cables are a tad longer and feels more durable.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jjtitus098:

You should never pay more than this for a silly cable. I have at least 4 of these and never had any problems.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] FergyA:
I have 3 nook tablets amongst my family that I rooted from 1.4.0 using indirect's method that have been running flawlessly since Christmas. That said, my mother's tablet today decided that it wanted to basically semi-wipe the nook OS and deleted all of the home screen icons, app history, and ebooks from the tablet. After rebooting I was able to get the apps back, but none of the BN ebooks want to re-download and the BN store doesn't even mention that any of her purchased books even exist. I was finally able to get them back on by copying the epub files from the desktop client, but they have no cover art, just list the titles as a bunch of numbers, and all of the extra features such as lending and recommendations are disabled. Anyone have any ideas as to what I can do to reset or regegister the BN portion of the tablet without wiping and rerooting the whole thing?

My mother mostly uses her tablet for reading ebooks and games and as such still uses the default nook OS (she insists its better, so unfortunately CM7 isn't an option). I mostly rooted to get her access to amazon content for the occasional app and the kindle book store, but I'm pretty sure it's not the root at fault for this glitch. I've seen several threads about similar problems on the official forums, but nobody there has a solution (or a clue it seems) so I figured I'd ask here.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
There is one way, prepare an sdcard with CWM, download any of the stock roms with root and B&N content in development section and copy the file to your sdcard, boot into CWM , format system and only system from Mount&Storage then install the ROM you downloaded following the instructions of the respective thread.

~ Veronica
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] FergyA:
Hmmm, that sounds like it might just work. I'll have to propose the idea to her and see what she thinks. I offered to back everything up and do a full wipe and reroot earlier but she refused and said she would live with it as she didn't want to risk losing her game saves... Wish she didn't prefer the BN home screen over the others as I've had nothing but problems with it. I've tried to get her to use a third party launcher, but she hated them all because she couldn't put books straight on the home screen.

Are there any apps or home screens out there that would allow this (books on home screen)? Also, does anyone know if the BN reader on the android store has an identical layout to the stock tablet version? Maybe I can convert her if I can come up with something similar to the BN launcher.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
B&N Market app is nothing compared to original, apart that if you change to CM7 or other it's totally different interface if she likes B&N as is then is because she likes the interface too and all the B&N apps can't be run from other OS because they are dependent of the stock framework. If you get CWM up and running you could easily backup her data and do what i told you. It will safe you time and headaches.

Take a look here - METHOD#1 and here

When you restore your system you could install the app to install CWM internal, which is always good to have.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Afinis:
Today I took my Nook tablet that I recently reverted to stock to the Barnes and Noble store to have it repartitioning. The actual procedure only took about 3 minutes. Waiting for the one person who actually knew what to do took about 30 minutes. They do deregister your device before they repartition it, so don't bother setting up your stuff if you have to revert to stock. Pretty simple over all.

1. Deregister

2. Inserted their sd card into my nook

3. Plugged in a cord to get the device to turn on.

4. Stand back and wait.

5. When the registration screen comes on your done.

Now I have 8 GB for myself and I didn't have to mess with trying to figure it out myself.

I don't regurgitate blog pieces as a rule, but this was kinda funny... :)

http://news.cnet.com/8301-13924_3-5...have-a-clue-as-to-why-they-need-the-new-ipad/

No, no snotty "iSheep" comment from me. I fully believe that people are the same regardless of whatever toys they buy. But this illustrates the power of marketing in influencing consumer behavior. Heck, people buy bottled water!

Who else but Apple can get people to line up days in advance for its toy launches? The other day, my 6-yr old niece came up to me and said she wants an iPad for her birthday. Shut yo mouth, girl, where did you learn that nasty 4-letter word! 10 Hail Marys for you! And no ice cream either!

Then, thinking about it, if I were to get a tablet for little tyke, an iPad would be tops on the list right now. It's a great learning tool. And $400 one-time payment for an instant babysitter is not bad.

This is what Android has to face up against. It's not just a tech thing. Kudos to Apple marketers.

Then again, I take heart in realizing that all tech co's have their wax-wane cycles. Back in the day, it was the Sony Walkman that can do no wrong. Public tastes can change quickly.

The competition is great. Let's hope Goog will rise up to the challenge. I want my $199 Nexus tab. And my $499 Win8 tab.

When was the last time you see people get in line for a Dell or HP or anything Android...for days in advance?

For that matter, I'm hard pressed to think of any consumer product that had caused such anticipation, where even the act of waiting in line has become an "experience."

Beanies Babies? No...no lines, IIRC. Can anyone think of an equivalent example?

So, yes, it is really just the case for Apple, at least from my limited recollection.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Coderedpl:
If they didn't do so much in marketing, I don't think they would be like they are now. I've said this before to people, but I just feel like the i"product" owners are brain washed by Apples Marketing techniques. Sure the iPhone and iPad and whatever have "cool" features here and there, but I'm sure if I would get bored of it.

Maybe if i STARTED with an iOS device, I would look at things differently, but since I started with an Android OS device as my real smartphone. I can't really see myself using an iOs device.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wifesabitch:
Apple people are just ignorant to the better options or f*cked up people.

Anyone seen that samsung commercial where their is a huge lineup in front of a apple store and someone show up with a galaxy s2 and the guy say:

"I'm creative, I can't have a Samsung. "...

I think that is pretty much it.

The irony is that up you can't customize a iphone whitout a jailbreak and even then it is very limited...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] stanglifemike:
I think its mainly just a social standpoint piece. People want others to see them with an Apple device. Some see so many going crazy over Apple products an assume that they are superior products, because they simply don't know better. Others I believe buy them for what they are, easy to use, anyone can figure it out, modern electronic devices.

My younger sister has an iPod touch (never any apps on it, just music. Any mp3 can do that), an iPad 2(very very few apps), an is getting an iPhone when her contract is up. She currently has an Android phone. I looked at it the other day an asked why she had less than 10 apps an only 1 home screen setup on a phone she's had almost 2 years. Get reply was that she isn't in to that kinda stuff. What!!?? LOL. Yet all you can talk about is wanting an iPhone an using your iPad!!!??? If all you care about is texting an placing calls, then get a Jitterbug!!! Its just a social status for her. She is 24 too.

I bought an iPod Touch 4th Gen shortly after they came out. I love having access to Apple's Appstore. They have some great apps an games that I thoroughly enjoy. I would never have an iPhone as my primary phone, Android is so so much better an so much more fun. I do have an iPhone 4 that I got from a friend. I never activated it, just use it as a second iPod basically. I've jailbroke it, customized it some, used the Cydia apps, and I just don't see how so many people love those devices. It is so much slower than my Evo 3D even before root an overclocking. Evo 3D camera sucks, my Evo 4G was better, but its better then the iPhone camera.

Apple devices get boring quick!! I feel they have 3 owner categories: social status buyers, those who don't know better, an those who want a dumbed down an easy to use smart device.....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
I agree. I think for majority of iPhone 4 and Ipad owners its more of a social status thing. its like having designer clothing and wearing Jordan sneakers. people go crazy over it just so they show it off and be like hey, look at me. I'm cool too...lol. iPhone and Ipad are really good devices. But not superior like most tend to believe. Apple is just a marketing genius and their app store had a headstart. ill give apple credit for making tablets popular or making them mainstream. they didn't create the market but made it popular instead.

I'd tend to think most apple device owners like to keep up with the Jones's. if you know what i mean.
