What is page plus's apn settings for go SMS? I can receive mms but can't send
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oregondave:
I'm telling you I am. If I turn on 4g or wireless it works. If I just use 3g it does not. I'm wondering if this has anything to do with changing the 3g settings. My bill is paid.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris-allen:
can you acsess the web via 3G?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oregondave:
Yes I can no problem (although it's slow as per usual with Sprint)

I installed smsgo and added the APN settings (which is just the mmsc url for credo mobile and blank fields for mms proxy and port) and it works. Strange that would work while the correct mmsc url does not with the stock messaging app in 3G.

So thanks for the solution!

Any idea why the same settings with stock messaging app wouldn't work? Apparently this is an ICS issue, never a problem with gingerbread roms.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hpsauce37:
Sorry if this has been asked before but I have various pictures and videos on my device that I want to move around and manage into different files/folders. In the past I have used astro or file manager es to do this but when I try to use either of these it doesn't seem to see any of the files weather it be on the phone or sd card.

Is this a quad core issue and the file managers not able to work with it?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hpsauce37:
anyone

someone else must have come up against this

none of the file managers on the market seem to be able to see any of the pictures or videos etc on the phone or sd card

Have you tried UnlockRoot?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] torq1337:
Tried everything ;(

thx for post !
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SifJar:
Try the following command over adb:

adb reboot bootloader

(or in terminal emulator on the phone itself, removing the "adb" part of the command).

From there, you should be able to see if your bootloader is locked. Maybe there is a custom recovery out there somewhere for your phone, which you could possibly flash if your bootloader is unlocked. From there you should be able to flash a custom ZIP to root the phone.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] torq1337:
Over terminal sais: "reboot: Operation not permitted"

adb reboot bootloader over PC, it just restarts the phone... :(

;(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SifJar:
Well, I'm afraid I'm out of ideas then. Is there an earlier version of Android available for the phone? If so, anyway of downgrading to it and rooting there?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] torq1337:
:D well thanks m8 for ideas :D But the first try I made was downgrading it to 2.3.5, I find the tutorial on some chinese forum... but PHONE freeze and I get a new one over the warranty :D

I purchased a sandisk 64G microSD for my Galaxy S2 Skyrocket. Out of curiosity I tried the Sandisk on my ICS 4.0.3 Iconia Tab A100 and it worked fine, no issues. Just an FYI for those who want the ultimate amount of storage. I had to format the SD first....

- Tim
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Deshabilitado:
thanks for the advise, what class is your sd card?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] timfountain:
Class 6, 64GB the sandisk red and gray one (I can't post links apparently, <10 posts).

I got the iconia for $159 from Daily deals about a month ago and so far it has totally exceeded all my expectations. Truly a great tablet.... The SD was on special for $59 including shipping, from adorama, which wasa deal also! This unexpected ability to work with a 64GB SD means my iPad 3 is now staying home!

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] davecowan:
I was having issues trying to use a SanDisk 32 GB mini. It would format in Fat32 (would take forever to format) and would appear to work for a while on the A100 but then I would start getting strange "unable to write" error messages from different apps.

I am not sure of the class, could having the wrong class card be a cause of my problems?

Thanks!

Please fill the card, I've been down this road before, sometimes the size will report correctly but after the data actually exceeded the devices working specs the data becomes corrupted. Please check it out.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
There is no reason for it to not work. If the system can use the card and mount it the swap will work. That being said, it may still only use 32gb if the cards capacity. The tegra2 itself is rated for 64gb however the iconias other hardware may not handle it so well.

If he could report back at 40gb if it works OK then that would cement it working or not. I mean like fill it with whatever to 40gb, slap on a movie and watch it for corruption. I'd test it but I only have 32gb and smaller.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] timfountain:
OP here. I'm not going to try the memory swap, as I have no need and don't want to break anything, the associated warnings are pretty dire.

I have ~19GB free on the 64GB MicroSD and no problems accessing, reading and deleting files.

[HTC Inspire 4G] BerettaFreak:
I have not done anything software wise to my phone, its still a factory rom and radio for ATT... now my issue is I'm struggling all the time with reception with this phone. I don't remember it being this bad when I first got it and now its just becoming a huge annoyance.

I'll have phone calls breaking up with a display showing 3-4 bars of service and also having troubles sending txt messages quite often.

I'm in an area that is labeled as HPSA coverage area and my "voice" coverage map for my area is not bad at all... for example where I work is listed as "BEST" coverage and if I walk outside I'll have 2 maybe 3 bars of service.

There is nothing visibly wrong with my antenna/sim cover but should I attempt to replace it and see if that could be causing the problem?

There is nothing out there on the web for improving reception on a Inspire 4G phone and there is now way to shut off the HPSA and revert to 3G, but at the same time I really should have to since my whole state is covered with blue for HPSA coverage.

Any input on things that I can try would be great.

Thanks.
[HTC Inspire 4G] :
hpsa is basically 3g just optimized packet transmission. You can change your phone to run on edge network (which is why i personally do because then i can get a ton more battery life) Also it doesnt matter what your area is 'claimed' to be for coverage, there are a ton of outside factors that influence your signal. What you can do is take the bottom cover off and clean the gold contacts on the phone itself with alcohol and using something metal, lightly scrape the cover-side contacts to shine up the metal (but not removing the material itself)
[HTC Inspire 4G] BerettaFreak:
Well aware of all the things you mentioned, as well as I've tried cleaning the contacts multiple times. Used an eraser on the cover side to polish the contacts and got no improvement with signal. I also can not find any way to shut off HPSA or 3G on this phone... and I've read that with the AT&T Inspire it's not possible. I'd love to switch to Edge when at work because as you said it would extend battery life immensely.

But I guess the real issue is I never had these problems before with any of my phones or this one at first, granted I have some dead spots which I'm well aware of and accept since I do live in the hilly north east corner but to have this phone degrade with signal over the time I've had it just seems a bit odd.

I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced signal loss with an Inspire 4G over the life of the phone without having any physical damage done to it. As well as having much less signal strength in comparison to other phone models.

I'm contemplating getting a new phone but I want to ensure that whatever I get would have better reception. I'm close to my 2yr resign IIRC and when I do find out that date I will probably replace this.

Its just the whole antenna on the Inspire seems to be lacking and very small in my mind, and placed very badly.
[HTC Inspire 4G] :
*#*#4636#*#* dial this and get into your config menu. change network type to edge/gsm i think it is? been a while since ive used stock ui

fyi the antenna is supposed to be small as it has to be designed to receive certain frequency. antenna length has to do with what signal it is using. bigger is not better

theres an app on market called 2g/3g toggle. it will put a button on your screen to take u to that menu screen instantly
[HTC Inspire 4G] BerettaFreak:
That worked but which network do you switch to, It was on WCDMA Preferred

Also that app only brings me to the network settings in the phone, not to this menu.

I selected "GSM Only" for now to see what it does.
[HTC Inspire 4G] :
correct, gsm only will keep you on edge network. if you want your regular hspa+ setting just change it back to wcdma preferred

I'm all of a sudden having no service, i think at&t is having issues.

Moving to Q&A
[HTC Inspire 4G] kettir:
This is a matter of interest to me as well. I've been looking at some videos for "fixing" the reception of other phone models by finding the gold contacts and extending the "antenna" by attaching a piece of aluminum foil to the antenna points. Now with the Inspire, the contact points are in the battery cover, but you'd have to open the unit itself to see anything more than that. I'm thinking that some reception problems may be due to worn contacts. I'd be interested in what kind of substance would be appropriate for "restoring" the contacts. Also I'd be interested if someone *has* opened up the unit and "extended" the antenna with something like aluminum foil.
[HTC Inspire 4G] BerettaFreak:
From what I could gather the cell antenna is actually on the bottom cover for the SIM an SD cards. All I did was use an eraser on the contacts to clean them up and yes I did try to lay down foil to extend the antenna but from what I have read regarding radio's and such the antenna size and shape is specific to the signal its trying to pick up, so that could either work great or fail completely when you try to extend it. It did not help for my situation at all.

Lately the phone will not send txt's with one bar of HPSA or just on Edge which makes no sense to me and also I'm quite often only getting one bar unless I can see a tower right next to me which is a bit sad and I do not remember having this issue before.

Also changing the preferred network did not prevent it from using or wanting to go to HPSA while I'm at work. It would operate the same as before. Its impossible to get this phone to stick on regular 3g which I feel I have better coverage of that network in my area.

I'm contemplating rooting the phone and trying some different radio's on it to see if that will help me at all.

I never had this many signal issues with my 3Gs and I'm contemplating going back to that phone until I can upgrade again since this is just so aggravating... More so than having to have the same txt sounds as everyone else with an iPhone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] PickledJaW:
I think it us just AT&T having problems on their side. Some days I gave great reception, and others it struggles to maintain one bar all day. Its getting very annoying for me, and I probably won't be with them for much longer...Verizon looks much better right now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nmp591:
So I just got my gnex last week and I know that there are issues with purple color at low brightness so my main question is do most just leave the phone on full brightness all the time?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bozzykid:
Full brightness? Wow, that would just kill your battery. I just leave it on auto. I never had had the tint issue though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nmp591:
Anything lower than like 60% for me has purple tint. I have adjusted and used Franco's kernel and everything. Should I request a replacement phone while I can because I don't know if this is normal or not
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
That's not normal. I get it at the lowest brightness level. I usually have mine at 30%.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
I have no purple tint at any brightness.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rosemachinegun:
If it really bothers you you're within your rights to exchange it.

However, there's no guarantee that your replacement will have better tints and there's the possibility that it will have a different sort of defect instead.

I exchanged my purple GNex and received a new one with a dead column of pixels. My 3rd unit is flawless though.

Just be aware that you could be starting a long, tedious and frustrating process of exchanges until you find your Goldilocks Gnex.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
No tint at all for me..

"Long is the way, and hard, that out of hell leads up to light."
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NeoandGeo:
At the lowest brightness I see the tint you speak of, but anything above that it looks ok.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] copkay:
I've actually gone through 3 devices recently, and on my second one I definitely noticed this issue. Another thing strange is that there was a clearly visible circle at the place where the LED is (under the screen) that is completely invisible on the other two (which do not have a purple tint). I don't know that they're related, but it's just an observation.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chad_Petree:
Mine has a purple tint at any brightness lesser than 50% also it has a horrible yellow tint, which i managed to improve a lot by using franco kernel color control but the till os still there, since I bought from Amazon us and I live in latinamerica an exchange is totally out of the question :( I'd say fight for an exchange until you get a perfect screen

, brightness at 100% is too bright for me and besides it eats up the battery. I leave auto brightness on most of the times but it can dim the screen too much, it's very aggressive, so sometimes I just set the brightness to 50%
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cabal_:
No purple here at all. I was expecting to have it on the lowest setting based on what Samsung considers "normal," but even that setting has nothing but grays when I fire up the Calculator app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BeerChameleon:
Good place to check, i don't seem to have it on any setting of brightness :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Big Cam:
Mine has a little bit of graininess at 0%, but anything over 0% and I can't tell.

As for the purple thing, my whites have a slightly blue hue, when not looking head on, but again, it's so faint and not really noticeable that I don't care, plus the brighter I go, the less i notice it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Frosty666:
Mine has a horrible purple tint as well as heaps of other issues. Even on full brightness, the purple still shows through in some places, like the settings menu.

I tried sending it to Samsung and they kept it for two months, did a data wipe, and sent it back to me unfixed.

Edit: And yes I leave it on full brightness all the time, and I still finish the day with about 40% battery left.
