[General Questions and Answers] SimonTS:
If you got the phone from Carphonewarehouse then it should be fully unlocked as they only ever supply unbranded devices.

The slight scratch probably wouldn't be too much of a problem, but I would be tempted to fix the case if I were you.

With that fixed you could probably put it on for about £160 - without it maybe £130.

I assume that the prices you've got are for a good condition one - they won't accept it with a button missing.

Have a look on ebay - then remember the 10% (I think) selling fee and those prices should be about right. Even if you don't sell it here, it may be worth putting the feelers out to see how much interest there is - and it will depend on whether it's the XE or XL and whether you've got the box, accessories etc of course.
[General Questions and Answers] willhub:
It's a standard HTC Sensation (not 4G), it's got box, charger, orig battery, Anker 1900mah battery, 16GB SD Card (class 1).

S-OFF & Virtous Inquisition ICS.

Anywhere I can post an enquiry on this forum to get opinions on how much it may be worth?

so this may be a stupid question, but if i make a nand and flash a new ROM, and delete the old ROM off my sdcard, can i still recover the nand i made or do i have to keep the old ROM on my sdcard? does that make since??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] yoft1:
You do not need the rom zip in order to restore the nandroid. You can delete the rom zip and if you still have the nandroid you can restore to that rom. Is that what you're asking?

Hi guys ;).

I would like to know if a Miui rom is planned for the Galaxy S3 on the part of Xiaomi or by a developer on XDA :cool:?

Thanks for your response :).
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kickassdave:
I have googled around...

MIUI Scotland posted a message on twitter a few days ago, saying they were basically working on the SGS3 version of MIUI.

https://twitter.com/#!/miuiscotland

There's also a dev attempting to port MIUI based on a thread which is called "how to port MIUI to your device".... but don't think he has got very far yet...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1499411&highlight=s3

Aside from that, there is absolutely no news otherwise.

rest assured it's on it's way.. just takes time unfortunately.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eroye:
This is a very good news (for Miui on the GS3) and an excellent response, thanks much for this information, Kikassdave !!! :victory:;)

I am going to buy an extra battery. What shares the same battery as my Verizon i515. I assume the i9250 is the gsm version and shares the same one. Do any other models?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simms22:
i may be mistaken, but i believe that the verizon cdma/lte gnex has a larger battery than the gsm gnex.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
The LTE nexus and the GSM nexus use different battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drewcam888:
I didn't realize that. I know mine has a 2100mAh stock.

So that means I need a i515 battery. Is it the same as any other models?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simms22:
my gsm came with 1750mAH
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Your battery is 1850mah stock. If you have a 2100 it is extended.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] live4nyy:
Sprint and Verizon Galaxy Nexus use the same battery.

Links:

Stock = 1850mAh

Extended = 2100mAh

The GSM Nexus uses 1750/2000mAh batteries and they have completely different dimensions. The Sprint/Verizon batteries are short and wide while the GSM batteries are taller and more narrow.

AND

the contact points are on opposite sides, see pics.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JaiaV:
It may also be of interest to note that the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II shares the same battery with the stock battery of the Verizon/Sprint models of the phone and the T-Mobile Galaxy S Blaze 4G shares the same battery as the stock GSM model.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imfromwales:
Im trying to get my original Samsung Galaxy S to work with my mothers SIM card (Vodafone, same network i was on when i used the phone), but im never getting any service whatsoever, the phone just isnt reading the SIM card at all. Ive attached a picture of the phone, so you can see what i mean, HERE IS THE IMAGE.

Ive flashed a stock firmware (was on cyanogenmod when i was using the phone) and deleted all data and reset to factory but cant get the SIM card to work in the phone. When i put the SIM card back in my mothers phone, it works fine :eek:

I would try putting my old SIM card back in, but since i upgraded to SGS3, i moved my number to a micro SIM, so the old SIM card I have, no longer works.

Can someone please suggest how I can get service on this phone?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
Check the apn settings with your provider would be a good start point

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
Yeah, phone them up and they will talk you through checking and a setting them, or they will have them on their website
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imfromwales:
All they said was that the sim card isnt compatible with modern phones as its a few years old :/
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imfromwales:
They sent me a new sim card which doesn't work. I rang harm back and they said go into a store. I did and they just gave me a new sum which still doesn't work....

I can't understand because he handset was the one I originally got from vodafone, and he sim I'm trying is also vodafone!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsenman:
Just wondering, is the sim card inserted correctly? , the cut edge must be visible ;)

second, check your about phone, to see, you have a base band, and also IMEI by *#06# on your dialer , also install anetwork booster.apk from market using your WIFI

IF all is well, just put the phone on flight mode and reboot the phone, once rebooted, OFF the flight mode and check your network
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imfromwales:
The sim card is definitely inserted correctly :)

Sorry for my ignorance but what is a base band? I have factory reset with all wipes and then flashed the most recent firmware for the phone (can't remember what it is as I'm not near phone)

What does the app do? When I put it on flight mode I can't take out off flight mode.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imfromwales:
just got home and tried the IMEI with *#06# and it comes up blank - a dialogue box apears with IMEI as the title, but no actual number for some reason?

the Baseband is unknown in my settings, the firmware is 2.3.6 and build number is XWJVZ

didnt install a signal booster, as i had signal when i used my sim card and the phone is in the same house so it should still get signal.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsenman:
Baseband gives the details of modem/Radio in use, if its unknown, than you have an EFS problem, thats why you have no network

to check menu>settings> about phone> you will get all the details and if you touch status you will get details of your phone number and network you are connected to.

Network boosters, increase the reception of signals, in the event your cell reception is low, but since you have NO service, its pretty much useless.

in gingerbread, you use your power button to On and OFF your Flight mode.

How did you lose your baseband, did you Flash something before your service went dead ?

anyway, suggest you download the i9000 Rescue kit from My Android Collections link below, to try a get your EFS back, to know more about EFS, please Read this http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26827676&postcount=4512"

Yeah i know how to put it into areoplane mode, just most of the time i CANT take it back out. restart my phone and I still cant so i have to flash new firmware to get it out of aeroplane mode.

Im on downloading you SGS_Rescue_kit-13-1-2012.rar now. Could I just download some new firmware, hoping it has CSC, Modem and PDA instead of just PDA and then it will work? Im gonna try and sort this out once and for all :)

Hi guys

I recently upgraded to ICS(Stock swiss one) and after using it for a few days without problems I flashed a kernel. I don't think it was meant to be flashed on ICS, so I reflashed the stock kernel again and now my phone doesn't get service and the IMEI is blank in service menu. Does that mean my phone's bricked?

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] skywirepteltd:
Guys,

I need help here too, i'm not sure if i did it correctly. This is all about rooting my XPS.

1. Updated to firmware .75

2. Waited for ICS 4.0.4 and updated.

3. Unlocked bootloader

4. Used flashtool , rooted with pre-rooted img available in XDA

5. flashed recover-img

6. flashed kernel.sin

My device could not boot into system instead it went to CWM Recovery Mode. But now it works fine. I can browse through my device. I'm still not satisfied with the way i've rooted my device.

Is there a way that i can do a clean reset and update ICS 4.0.4 and root my device with proper guide. I don't seem to find an easy guide here as some of the guide does not specify where to go bout getting something.

Thanks
[HTC One X] Lazy-eye:
i'm one of the lucky guys with 3 failures at his phone at the same time:

1. yellow spot

2. wifi/bluetooth

3. flickering screen when grey

so i need to return my phone for a fix but it's rooted. At first followed more guides here. very usefull but i can't find my right RUU!

The phone was bought in the netherlands but it came with a Orange UK [branded] rom.

when i type getvar version-main i get: 1.28.061.9 but i can't find the rom anywhere on the internet.

can somebody help me to get a RUU that works on my phone? or a guide so i can run another RUU that will work.

[sorry for my english, not my native language]
[HTC One X] shrubz:
Even if you run RUU, HTC will still be able to see that your bootloader has been unlocked.

Relocking your bootloader using fastboot oem lock will only relock it, not undone the original unlock.
[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
Yes, but this is a hardware issue, that has nothing to do with the ROMs and stuf.. I believe you can claim warranty. If not, fight with them, as this SHOULD be covered, as its not covered under warranty.

If you cant find the RUU, ask awesome devs like mike1986 for help, he might be able to help.
[HTC One X] dr9722:
HTC will honor any hardware issues providing you take the following steps prior to sending it back.

1: Relock your bootloader (fastboot oem lock)

2: Run the Orange UK RUU (http://www.filefactory.com/file/qwm...Radio_1.1204.103.14_release_256475_signed.exe)

3: When booking in the device for repair don't mention that you have unlocked. Let them figure it out for themselves and if they have an issue with it they will contact you.
[HTC One X] Lazy-eye:
ive tried the uk RUU but is was a different 1.26 version. after a few hours trying i got it worked by extracting the ruu and manually flash system.img and boot_signed.img from the quide of http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25080910&postcount=1

tomorrow it will be send to HTC but i didnt mention the unlocked bootloader. my opinion is also that is is a hardware issue that was recognized by HTC.. hoping that the reapir company wont take a good look.
[HTC One X] pokosik:
i send my phone for repair because right top corner was creaking when i pressed it. and i have custom rom on it. so i relocked bootloader, flashed original ruu and send it for repair. aftera freaking ONE MONTH of waiting i got my phone, they replace bazel(as I understood it was all back, phone corpus). on the warranty card they wrote, "bootloader unlocked, only mechanical issues can be repaired under warranty." So I think that all of us who have any problem with HARDWARE should send phone and get what they worth for such many $. Am I right? But this is not the end. After 4days(it's today) I saw that frame which is around the glass, from the right side is broken, and left side where is usb charging is creaking when i press it. So tomorrow my phone is going back for repair. And from 1.5 month I used it only 14days, i think this phone is not lucky:). But i will fight till i get phone what i payed for.

ps. sorry for my english.

Not pointing a finger at anyone, but I cannot understand why multiple people in a thread always have to bring it up. More people tell search before ask and the original poster stating reasons why he/she couldn't bloating the thread all the time.

The problem I have with repetitive threads is that often times the question has been fully answered very detailed in a previous thread, and we can't answer it again with such detail and accuracy. So functionally, please refer to the previous thread where the question was answered thoroughly. I can't repeat my answers every time a screen burn in thread is posted. So please see my answer in earlier threads.

We want the community to be helpful and if all screen burn in info stayed in one thread its benefits everyone. Now apply that to most any topic.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tsnstuff:
I think a lot of times people just feel their specific situation is different form others they've found, or they are just very confused and would like a new thread where they can explain their problem and hopefully someone will help them.

That's what I think about support type questions anyway. General knowledge type questions ("WILL WE GET ICS??") do tend to be annoying and could certainly be ignored.

I think if we learned to ignore a lot of those type of questions things would be better. Every type we reply the thread goes right back to the top, getting the attention of someone else who also feels the need to reply with the exact same message as the previous question. A mod could also post a link to the answer and just close the thread.

Other times you find something kind of what you are looking for, but the topic has over 100 pages, it's just honestly too much work trying to go through all of those pages. You read the first couple and then you read the last few and then there is a lot that you could have missed.

Finally a lot of us are just jerks, lets face it if we have the time to complain about someone not searching, we probably have the time to actually guide the person in the right direction. Some of us spend way too much time on these forums complaining about how we don't have time to do this or that.

First of all, I very rarely tend to just say something like "that was posted before, just search". I will usually say something like "if you would have searched, you would have found this link..."

That's all fine. But. There are those of us who actually did go through the entire thread because:

a) we knew that we are not special, and chances are if we were having an issue, someone else probably had it before us and someone posted the solution for it.

b) we are here because we enjoy learning about our devices and our OS's and, given that this is XDA-developers, not XDA-support-my-non-searching-ass, we kinda expect others to do the same.

It's not about not having enough time: it's about coming to the realization that if you can search and post the answer, the person asking the question can easily to the same. It would probably help to phrase a question more like "i was looking for an answer for issue X, and I came up with Y. I am not sure if it fully applies in my situation. Any thoughts?" instead of "I haz issue X. Puuleez help!"
