[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] HTCMDA:
sim cards are and should be free from t-mobile. go to your local store.

BUT, when you got your phone (if you bought it from t-mobile) it should have come with a sim card, that supports wifi calling. That's what I had to do, had them activate the sim that came with my galaxy s2, and then started using it instead. and bam wifi calling
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] shnn2011:
It sounds like you went to a dealer.

Not every t-mobile store is operated by t-mobile. Many of them are dealer stores that charge whatever they want.

Dealer stores are usually pre pay only, but there are some authorized to collect commission off contracts and that have access to t-mobiles "quickview" account software. (Quickview is the system the infamous SOC codes are set up in.)

A lot of dealers incorporate sleazy practices and do not conform to the standards set by t-mobile. They do things like charge egregious amounts of money on SIM cards, and may not honor the return polices set by t-mobile. They also sell lots of "out of production" phones they get at good deals ex. Lg-g2x for under 240 dollars wholesale and resell for over 550.

Call t-mobile and ask for a corporate store, not a dealer store.

T-mobile seems to allows this since "money is money"

As for the SIM card I don't think it has anything more than you're IMSI and your half of the encryption cypher, (for establishing a network connection) and some limited memory regarding contacts and previous network connection frequencies . . . The fact that your SIM card did not support wifi calling is most likely because t-mobile identified it a a card not to allow access to for whatever reason. I don't believe there is a technical deficiency in you're old SIM preventing such a technology, or support in you're new one for that matter.

But then again, I am no expert. If anyone knows more please share.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xcrazydx:
They give you free sim cards at the tmo store. I've already went and got 2 of them for free
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] romny19:
Thanks guys!!!!

Thats good info and ima go today:)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jwalker279:
I got it for free at the store.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] romny19:
I had to pay $20 :/
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] KAsp3rd:
I just went into the store and told them I needed a new sim card because mine wouldn't work with wifi calling. 5 minutes and no money later I had a new SIM
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tjbiker031:
Nice dude. same thing happened to me few months back. Customer service wanted to charge me, along with the website. But the local store just gave me one like it was Christmas.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xcrazydx:
Why would you pay for it? They are free
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tjbiker031:
Because TMobile likes to get every dime they can. Usually they are free in the corporate owned stores.....franchises have the option to charge
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xcrazydx:
Oh, you went to one of those...that sucks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jwalker279:
Initially they told me $20 too...but I explained to them in a very gruff voice that I give them over $200 a month and I am completely done with my contract and would be happy to switch carriers. Manager came out and gave me the SIM. Since that day I always go to that store and the Manager normally sweetens my purchase with a discount on what I buy. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sinfulgray:
Wow dude you got burned I've gotten so many sim cards for free from tmobile is crazy.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mr.tenuki:
T-Mobile is actually using new type of SIM cards - GBA cards that allow WiFi calling via the SIM, and the device must support it as well - you must have a GBA SIM and a compatible device for this type of WiFi calling to work.

If I remember correctly, only the Galaxy S2 and the HTC Amaze support WiFi Calling through the SIM, rest of the devices have it using the app.

I have this weird problem with the stock music player.

If you'll look at the screen cap below, you would notice that the texts are not really text at all but blocks. I just noticed it today and I have no clue when or what started this. Please help. I don't want to do a factory reset or use a third party music player.

My phone is a Rooted GT-P6200 with stock rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] leodfs:
With a rooted phone, any little information you give is important. Did you change any system's font, or install a app to do so? The font that describes the artist is not the default one for sure.

Sent from my GT-P6210
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] tholitz1124:
Nope, I didn't install any font stuff. I tried other preinstalled system fonts though but I don't think it's gonna mess up anything.

There's one thing I noticed though. Closing the music app from a task manager and reopening it seems to fix the issue. But it comes right back after a few songs.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] kzoodroid:
What do you mean other preinstalled system fonts? There is typically only one font installed. Set your fonts back to default if you can or if rooted download a font installer. I personally like Font Installer *Root* by JRummy16.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] miksumortti:
@kzoodroid

There are 4 different fonts installed by default. And they can be changed in Settings -> Screen -> Screen display -> Font style

And the font in the screencapture seems to be the "Choco Cooky".

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] kzoodroid:
Did not realize this came with other fonts, not the best selection though. I thought he had gone the old school way of changing fonts and had messed with his system files.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Bad2hold:
I hate the stock player anyways, and unfortunatelly Poweramp got some issues with the build in task killer in our devices. Fighting with poweramp devs for months but no changes so far. It randomly stops playing. I just downloaded jetAudio and its even better than poweramp. Nice features, great equalizers and the bass boost is just the best!!! I totally recommend it! Try it out!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] leodfs:
Ever tried the player from miui? I use it on my phone. Very good

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] TPizzle:
First off, let me say this tablet is amazing and I really like it. It cost me a good fortune (I'm a student) and am starting to feel like I've been ripped off. I say this because the nexus tablet is coming soon and nvidia plans on making sub 200 dollar tablets with their quadcore in it.

Now lets be honest. You guys seriously think dev support will grow for this device, a $400+ tablet with NO idea on when ics will be arriving, if it ever does. Or would they flock to a much cheaper device, has google's full support with the latest updates + source?

Of course I am speaking strictly in terms of potential through the power of developers working hard to get crazy tweaks and mods going on. And please don't flame me, because this if pretty much what this website is exclusively about. Anyway my point being, it just seems like cutting your losses short and selling this device now looks like a smart option. I'd like to hear any other thoughts.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] kable:
If dev support is what you are after I would say cut your losses and find a more mainstream device. I doubt that we will ever see more than a few good devs supporting this device. Its been out for 6 + months and really hasn't sold all that well. Traffic in these forums has been rather slow as well. I love my device, just being realistic.

When ICS source comes out we should see some roms but who knows when that will be. I personally change phones about every 6 months but may hold out with this until October to see what Apple has up its sleeve 7inch wise.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Nutsonfire:
Before comparing the 7.7 with what the Nexus tablet might end up to be and at what price, let's not forget that Google is probably going to sell it at cost or with a loss just to compete the kindle and iPad. You really can't compare the business plan here.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] 九千.:
The premium you paid for this device is for its extra lightweight, slim design and display. There are many other development oriented devices out there, so I think you could consider switch if active development device is what you are looking for.

You could still do a lot of fun things hacking these device, though, if you chose to keep it.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] aletheus:
I got this as a digital sketchpad. The display wss the deciding factor. 30% increase in color gamut, highest contrast ratio ever. As absolute black as we may ever get AND access to the additive color model??? Biggest revolution in the history of mark making since the invention of painting...or maybe stainglass....

Sad its marketing flopped, I think the multinational injunction apple placed against these devices certainly isn't helping their mainstream adoption...

Sent from my GT-P6800
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] buzzmcfly:
im kinda thinking the same... wait for the toshiba 7.7 (7.7 FORM factor is so good you can use the upcoming CHAMELEON HOMESCREEN on your 7" tab- but i dont think toshibas build will be better than P6800), wait for ics (damn you SAMSUNG we paid premium for this device... give us our updates) or wait for finished roms (the devs are SAVIOURS of this device- thank God we have them).
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] loneagl:
Here's what i thought...

If i flashed a stock ROM, rooted, ,deodexed delete my msgs n photos, added some tweaks, checked for few days for stability n backed up via cwm..

Can i post that backup md5 file as a sort of custom ROM?? Of course will give credit to due people..

Don't laugh guys m still a noobie

:) Press thanks if what i posted is relevant:)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] shriom_manerker:
yeah u can ! but the size will b enormus ! 7600 mb+ thats why we dont use this method ! its just a waste of bandwidth and remember u require the same kernel used to restore the backup which u created earlier !
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] loneagl:
Nope..my back up size is 438 mb...our i dint get what u meant...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bscraze:
Mine is 1.4+ gb. To restore a backup, normally you need the kernel you made the backup with to restore it

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] The_GMAN:
7600mb+ !! :eek: No way man...even the most enormous, bloatware filled crappy rom can't reach that far...

Maybe you meant 760mb+ :D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] crk1995:
The reason for enormous size is that when the user have backed up his rom then he might be having huge no. of apps installed which also gets backed up...

Hope i helped.

What happened to the Sense on-screen weather animations after you un-lock phone? I could have sworn I seen the animations in video reviews..but when I un-lock my phone I dont see them (...and yes, i have "ALL ANIMATIONS" checked, as well as sound)???
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fhnguyen:
Long Click the HTC weather clock, drag it to edit. Go through the settings and there should be a checkbox for "show full screen animation" after you choose your location. It's disabled by default. Hope this solves it.

Whats the best rom for the wildfire s Marvel C
[HTC Wildfire S] BigChillin:
The stock rom hosted on AC.
[HTC Wildfire S] kildennyn:
Showing Promise

So far the ROM that shows the most promise for the MarvelC is Simon's Sense 3.5, but there's still a few bugs he needs to work out. Some people end up having issues with dropped calls and mms, which is the worst of them (if not for this issue, I'd easily overlook the few other minor bugs). Outside of that, I agree, just stick with a stock rom for now til the fancy stuff gets debugged better.
