T-mobiles Official Statement on June 21st release

Sidenote: are there going to be specific forums for the different variations of GSIII or is this thread gonna be a cluster f#&k? jw
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phieta:
Remember last year that same date? Tiered data plans went in full effect on July 7, 2011. No more new unlimited plans.

I bet an SIII that July 6 is the last day for unlimited users to buy a subsidized phone.

Most ppl don't preoder without seeing and handling the product. I've never preordered anything. That is, of course, until now. Most ppl don't follow phones like we do, will buy the phones after July 6, unknowingly lose their unlimited data = hefty phone bills = Verizon seeing $$$ for the following few months.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bguild:
July 9

ok, I won't pretend to act like the following data is any more accurate than was already presented, but I just got off the phone from VZ tech support, to deal with a warranty replacement situation on my Gnex, and the girl told me she doesn't show the Galaxy S3 as shipping until July 9.

Take it for what it's worth (not much), but July 7 is a Saturday, which seems to be an odd day for 1st day ship of a new device.

I hope we are all wrong about this, I want this GS3 like yesterday, and I was hoping it would be June 21 device ship, but it now sounds like that was too optimistic.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hotobu:
Something along these lines is what I was alluding to earlier. It seems like the best time to roll out a completely new data plan format would be to coincide with the release of a phone like this.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kls629:
yeah other forum on android central, adminstrator also said july 9th
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beknatok:
Here's the thing... when you pre-order, don't you also select your plan at that time?

As such, with Vzn pre-orders going live tomorrow, if they're going to start offering shared data plans on launch, one can conclude that that feature will have to be available starting tomorrow.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BungeBash:
What he said ^^^ Also, no way a bottom feeder like T-Mobile or Sprint gets their phones 3 weeks before Verizon.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XdrummerXboy:
This is for the VERIZON Variant. Others can make separate threads for different carriers/versions if they wish.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hotobu:
That's not necessarily true. Verizon could be holding back the release of the phone in order to roll it out with their new plans.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pwgerhardt:
This guy...

Sprint is getting the phone 3 weeks before Verizon. I just ordered mine today woohooo! As for your 'bottom feeder' opinion... 1. Sprint is #1 in customer service 2. Sprint has a better value than Verizon e.g. unlimited data and unlimited mobile to mobile (for less $ too) 3. Sprint and Verizon share the same CDMA network...and Sprint roams off of Verizon for free. So I have the same coverage as you, only I get more for my money. And I get the GSIII before you. Dang it feels good to be a bottom feeder ;)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dtoye:
Ok so how about we not continue to derail this thread and get it back on topic Congrats to sprint and t mobile for getting your phones early but has nothing to do verizon thanks
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XdrummerXboy:
So when does sprint allow you to get your phone IN HAND?

Verizon made some special deal with samsung supposedly.. We don't know what it is yet (or do we?), but maybe a surprise earlier release date than July 7th or 8th or whatever people are saying?

What does your plan include? I have unlimited data from verizon for $30 a month (obviously not including the main line price and such, we have a family plan, each line is $10 extra and includes unlimited texting for all), and no offense I think Verizon is more reliable than Sprint.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beknatok:
Of course, it all depends on where you're at.

For example, I've in the Chicago area and have been with Sprint for a decade. They USED to have the best damn 3G network in the area, hands down. But over the past year, it's gone straight to hell. There's a variety of reasons for this, including their Network Vision upgrade rollout going FUBAR. But I've grown so sick of it that I'm planning on moving to Verizon, who offer the most stable service in the metro area.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Muckrak3r:
This is me too, just replace chicago with dallas. Not sure why, but even 3g coverage from sprint has been scarce at best over the past year, voice calls drop all the time... What's the point of unlimited data when you can't access their network!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daveop:
Oh yeah Sprint in the Chicago suburbs was laughable. I switched when the OG Evo came out, and that lasted all of 4 days. I was getting texts not sent, calls dropped, signal completely lost in my house, and 3G speeds of around 200k. This even happened at the Spring store in front of some reps, and I was told that it had to do with a hurricane effecting the towers......IN CHICAGO. I've happily been with AT&T for a while, but am thinking of swapping to Verizon for the GS3 and eventually the new iPhone. I do agree that Sprint has good CSR's for the most part, but I've also never had an issue with an AT&T rep.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BungeBash:
So like most of us were aware, there was no effect on my Unlimited plan since when you pre-order you select your plan. Also, the phone says it will ship by July 7th, but does not necessarily mean it won't ship until that date.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XdrummerXboy:
just placed my order for the 32GB White model. $301.50 or something like that after the $30 upgrade fee. Ship date was July 9th :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BungeBash:
Yeah since when do they do that bull**** upgrade fee... I bought the same btw. Got my order through at 705
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ftanner:
FYI...

Having talked with Verizon this morning, the 32GB phone that they are currently offering for pre-order has 16GB of internal memory and a 16GB memory card in it.

Their offering of a 32GB phone is a bit misleading.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MichaelVash7886:
Glad I just went with the 16 GB model then. Really hoping I don't have to wait until July 9th.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dan76:
Droidlife is reporting June 28 for delivery and in store release.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdmiralSurf:
Don't believe everything you read on the internet, as that claim is completely FALSE.

After reading that post I called up VZW to confirm. 32GB model IS a 32GB INTERNAL storage.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alxdgr8:
That doesn't correspond with your post of the conversation...

"Rep: We do have a 14 day return policy on the device. However i do apologize that we don't have a way to increase like that. But like i said i know for a fact that it will come 32GB all on the phone. No SD card. Even when you look at what comes with the phone no SD card is listed."

---------- Post added at 08:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:16 PM ----------

Nevermind, I saw that was a post you quoted.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XdrummerXboy:
Yeah I agree, I'm sure it's to get people to say, Oh dang, the Verizon SGSIII is $30 cheaper than AT&Ts, Maybe I'll switch! but then it's "Oh hey you fool, you need to pay $30 to upgrade."

I think it started in the last 6-12 months, so maybe just with the new year or something.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XdrummerXboy:
WTF For real?! Thank you for letting me know.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XdrummerXboy:
Wait, so is it all INTERNAL or is it 16GB Internal 16GB SD card?

Anyone have a screenshot of chat as evidence, or a link to a website confirming?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kls629:
not true, i confirmed with a CSR that is also purchasing the phone that people are getting discounts from old NE2 discounts and that 32gb is on board
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Muckrak3r:
According to a chat session I had, 32Gb internal, no sd card. If it shows up with an sd card, they're going to be processing a crap load of returns, or $50 refunds.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BungeBash:
Just thought this and thought I'd reply. Good luck with your LTE 4g on Sprint LOLOLOL. Also, they are not number 1, yes they use CDMA but on cheaper frequencies, and I have unlimited data too...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XdrummerXboy:
Any new news you guys? Specs? Accessories? etc.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Invincible29:
Hi everyone,

I thought of making a thread for all Email issues with ICS on any phone. As there are lots of people out there posting a single comment on certain threads, I thought it would be nice to have a collective post where someone can look at fixing some or share knowledge. Mods if you think this area isn't appropriate please move this thread.

Email Issues with ICS

Issue 1: Google App Server Emails (Personal Domain Emails powered by Gmail) using Stock Email App on Galaxy S2 which is very similar to Android Stock Email App. Its apparent that this doesn’t work in Stock ICS on Galaxy Nexus S.

Symptom: After finishing the process of adding accounts, the Inbox keeps loading but not loads.

Reason: Google or Android has changed a key protocol within the implementation of Active sync (exchange) in ICS where redirecting of m.google.com or m.hotmail.com doesn’t work anymore.

Fix: Apparently fixed in 4.0.4 but no claims yet.

Issue 2: Stock Email App on Galaxy S2 drains battery.

Symptom: Battery only lasts 7-8 hours.

Reason: Google Sync isn’t supported by Android on any other app except Gmail app on Android Platform. Your server also requires a maximum calendar lookback and maximum email

lookback,

Fix: Clear the data from the app and cache, delete all accounts and re add them again. or change the exchange policies.

Issue 3: Corporate Emails won’t sync with Stock Email app (Galaxy S2 or Nexus)

Symptom: Connection Error, Couldn’t download all emails. wont send outgoing mail etc

Reason: Policy not supported, PIN authentication doesn’t exist in ICS, One of the features that's lacking from ICS, is S/MIME.

Fix: Change the Exchange server settings or wait for Android and or Samsung to fix the app and Active sync implementation in ICS. Encrypt your sd card (internal and or external)

Bottom Line: Google doesn’t support all the exchange policies and protocols hence suit yourself. As there are more than 4 dozen policies, they only support the most commonly used. Samsung has rubbished the already buggy Stock Email App from AOSP by adding their own rubbish.

So, we are left with a few choices here:

Change back to Gingerbread where everything use to work.

Change your exchange server policies (Corporate accounts)

Wait until Android fixes redirecting protocol for m.google.com or m.hotmail.com services

Wait until Samsung fixes stock email app

Wait until Google fixes stock email app (wont help samsung guys)

Wait until Android implements correct protocols and policies in ICS and Samsung follows up.

Really pathetic to see this happening and where google passes buck to others for their apps, I thought the whole idea of Open Source was to share and learn. Unlike Linux where its usually fixed quickly and across the board.

noticed this over in the SGS III forums so i figured id post it here

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J_Kirk:
Ok.. I've seen posts cautioning anyone against trying to install ICS on N7000.. supposedly there is some issue with Samsung's ICS which could brick the device. I've seen warnings saying that even if someone has flashed the OFFICIAL German or Taiwanese ICS, they should flash back to GB immediately.

So.. what gives? Should we wait for a third ICS before upgrading..? Are these warnings genuine?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hackerboi:
Yes its safer to wait for either a solution from the devs or samsung.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J_Kirk:
I see you are using Liquid Smooth ICS V1.. was that safe to flash? This whole ICS stuff is becoming very confusing. I actually switched from my I9100G to N7000 JUST for ICS, and seems like will have to wait even more! lol
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] straycat:
Yes, very confusing.

And where is samsung by now?? They got our money with the device and again with the reparations!

Last samsung device for me.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hackerboi:
Ys im using LiquidSmooth ICS Rom, But i had installed this rom before the BRICK BUG came into picture. I am stuck on this rom for now but i have no complaints as its running beautifully without any problems... i'm waiting for a fix and not using the CWM at all.

LP1/5/6 repack

LPY

LPF

all of the above have the bug.

Try using CM9 as it uses a different kernel. And go through thread before installing.

ICS running beautifully on SGnote but this brick bug is just ruining the party.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J_Kirk:
Ok CM9.. I see that there are many things which don't run well on CM9.. speaker phone etc.. any comments?

hello, i've updated my SGN using the german rom, and till the moment i've not encountered any bug, only that the phone is bit slower...

is it recomended that i return to stock gingerbread??
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norazmi_0673:
Better stay in GB & wait for stable official/stock ICS. I flash LPY German & CF Root...my Gnote have issue with bluetooth (keep disconnect/fail when sending file) & date/time keep changing itself after reboot...weird!:mad:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netoperek:
if ICS works well it is better not to try , don`t flash anything don`t use cwm and everything should by fine, wait for next release of ICS or fix.

but really it is your decision (the risk used ics but also the risk of a brick note when you try back to GB)

J_Kirk better to wait for a stable ICS.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J_Kirk:
Thanks netoperek.. I've reached the same conclusion myself.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zalmd06:
@ the moment is working fine with no bugs @ all..

wi-fi works fine, with no DC, Bluet.. also, text messeging, calls, games, facial unlock, etc

the only thing i think is a bit slower is the phone it self. for example is not as smother as before when playing for example the fruit ninja.

when i get home will do downgrade again and w8 for next release
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mijm:
Hi guys, some people are reporting apps going missing after a reboot. These apps are always installed in the internal memory, so not in the phone memory, and they may reappear after another reboot.

As discussed on androidforums.com and communities-origin.sonyericsson.com (I can't post any links yet - just search for "xperia s" apps disappearing internal)

My phone has this problem too. It allegedly has to do with the internal memory being initialized slightly too late during phone bootup.

Questions:

has any of you smart people found a solution or workaround to this?

is anyone else suffering from the same bug?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] denaz:
Do you know what?

I had the same issue..

Then i installed and used Go Launcher Ex as main launcher and i haven't had that problem again.

Now is almost a week that i'm back to the stock launcher, and the "missing app" issue is back.

So i think that is something related to the Sony launcher (and i have all apps in internal memory).
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] WasherUK:
I've had the problem too and thought they had gone. It was only after holding down the volume and power button to reset that triggered it. Anyway after re-booting normaly all was well.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mijm:
I'm using Launcher Pro and have these issues constantly, but the problem is not related to the launcher - the apps are gone from the entire system. Play Store treats them as not installed, TitaniumBackup cannot run or restore them.

Every time I reboot there's at least one app missing - can be as much as four. And it's quite random too - you cannot tell in advance which one(s) will be missing.

Some more info: FW .73, rooted, DoomKernel, Supercharged to 768 HP, SD Booster at 2048 KB, Launcher Pro 0.8.6.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] radmac:
I had the same problem and I think I have a solution - after reboot, leave the phone be for about 2-3 minutes. do not unlock, do not type PIN.

Just restart and put the phone away for few minutes. All apps that were gone are back and working. No new apps missing. I hope it works for you too!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dgattenb:
its a bug , i think there are a few threads in here about it...

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coder89:
Hello,

I want to run a native process on Windows Phone 7 from another native process. Unfortunately I cannot use System.Diagnostic.Process because it is not supported in WP7.

The same with System.Runtime.InteropServices.Automation.AutomationFactory because it is a inside Silverlight library.

Say I have got process called "Process.exe" located in "\Windows\Process.exe". I can start it through my PC using WPRun.exe tool but I would like to start it automatically from my phone. (there is no Silverlight application which could do this using AutomationFactory.)

Is there any other way to do this?

Thank you in advance for any help

BR, Lukasz
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
So, I'm assuming you're on a custom ROM. You're already using native code, so why are you trying to do this from Managed code? Just use the (native) CreateProcess API. If you want to pass parameters from managed code, create a wrapper on CreateProcess via COM and call it that way.

I had two problems with my DHD. But to keep history short, I'll tell only the second:

My seemed bricked. It didn't power on and when I plugged the charger, the LED didn't turn on.

As I work with electronics, I measured the phone's battery and it had 0.0V. So, I took an adjustable power supply and charged the battery for 2 minutes with 3.7V.

I put the battery back in the phone, plugged the charger and the LED turned orange! :D

Perhaps you could try the same procedure...

And tomorrow I'll try to fix the 1st problem.
