[HTC One V] disaster1080:
Running Shpongle 4.2.2 at 1.5ghz overclock + undervolt, using Smartmax and BFQ.

All animations and haptic feedback turned off.

I've seen better overall battery life, but NEVER with this much usage. :p

This is the first time that I make it to 6 hours of "screen on" without recharging.

I usually make it to 3-4 hours max with pretty much any other roms.

I spent most of that time watching plenty of videos, messaging, browsing, gaming, and a bit of navigation.

Shpongle's battery life is just too good! :D

I'm going to try a 1.2ghz overclock + undervolt, using Ondemand and BFQ to see if I get better results.
[HTC One V] amadeus.wolfgang:
I know this is an oft repeated question, but any idea about the values to be used with hellboy + sphongle?

I searched quite a bit but could only come up with old posts.

If you could let me know what voltage values you use, that'd be brilliant.

I used a script that Seraz007 posted in the Shpongle thread. Here's a link to his post.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] invisibro:
When I'm in maps and I double tap the location/compass button, it just repositions to my location and never enters compass mode. It works on my friend's unrooted One X though.

Can't find any posts on the issue in this forum. Any ideas how to fix?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] invisibro:
Just downloaded a compass app and that doesnt work either. Could it be a hardware issue?

If so, will Sprint be able to fix or give me a replacement?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tourbound129:
Shouldn't be the ROM because it works just fine on viper for me.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TaintedByte:
I can also confirm that it does work on viper. Try to do a nandroid backup and then completely factory reset the phone and see if you're still having the problem.

Sent from my Evo 4G LTE
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] invisibro:
Did factory reset, wiped everything and installed deodexed stock rom. Compass still doesn't work, so I'm guessing it's a hardware issue.

What would you guys do in this situation? Try to get a Sprint tech to look at it?

Thanks for the help BTW.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] invisibro:
One bump before I let it die - should I take this to a Sprint tech or just forget about it?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TaintedByte:
Well if it is hardware related, yes take it back. Obviously something is wrong with it (although it's weird that you get a gps signal at all). Either way, you paid for it you deserve a phone which all parts work.

EDIT: Make sure you relock and run the RUU before taking it back, actually that might even fix the problem and since you have to do this anyway to take it in it might fix it.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] DJiK:
Is there a SIM Unlock script or app for our rooted US-version SGS III devices yet?

I'm asking because the international SGS III already has one. See this (but do not attempt it on your US phone).
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] afbengochea:
If you call t mobile they'll give you the unlock code. So I guess there's really no need for this
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] DJiK:
IIRC you have to wait for three months after getting your phone with a contract/upgrade before they give you the unlock code.

I just got the phone yesterday and am flying abroad next weekend.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Radsolutionz:
if you talk to them they will work it out with u. just talk to a supervisor
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] AviatorJud:
I'm in the same boat, going out of the country in a week. Gonna try to get the code from t mobile this week. Do you just give them your IMEI and they give you the code? I obviously don't want to give them anything that would give away that I've rooted. I just noticed in my "device status" page it says "modified". Not sure how it knows that.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] DJiK:
That's exactly how I did it with a BlackBerry a few years ago. I gave them the IMEI, and in return they'd sent me an email with the unlocking instructions and the unlock code. I don't think it would be any different for an Android device.

Please reply to this thread if you were able to unlock your SGSIII without any problems.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] AviatorJud:
Yeah, I've only done this with a Blackberry in the past as well, never on an android.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] JUSMEJOSE:
Or you can go to a cellphone store and ask them if they could unlock your s3 ... I can unlock your s3 already with a box

Here's is a proof that I unlock my Samsung t999

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] AviatorJud:
Nice. So you wanna unlock mine? :D
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] afbengochea:
there really isn't a need for all that. Trust me when I got the s2 in January I called in the following week. I was on contract for two years with them so it's not like I'm going with someone else, just leaving the country. All they all for us the imei and an email address. You'll get it in 48 hours
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] DJiK:
Sounds good. I'll call them tomorrow, thanks!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] afbengochea:
Let us know if you get any issues
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] AviatorJud:
I just called in today and put in a request with no issues or questions and she said i should get the code by email in 24 hrs unless they have some problem getting it from the manufacturer. We'll see.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] emekos2002:
Yea I've done that multiple times with T-Mobile. Even with a phone that wasn't my actual registered phone. They don't really care..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Lakeshow423:
I switch phones alot and even if I did not purchase the phone from them, they would unlock it. Just give them the IMEI number and within 24hours, it will be in.your email. This only works every 3 months though, I have tried different times with it being not 90 days yet and get shot down everytime. Go to cellunlocker.net if you need it fast. Enter."android50" for a 50% discount. Its usually instant to your email.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] DJiK:
I just spoke with T-Mobile about this.

First they said that they can only unlock phones that have been registered to the account for at least forty days. I pressed on and said that I need to use it for business abroad. That helped and they took down my IMEI and email address.

But afterwards they'd said that if they don't have the unlock codes internally, it will take up to 14 days to get it form Samsung.

I'm leaving in a couple of days and would prefer to unlock it myself.

Is there a software unlock solution we can do on our rooted phones?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] AviatorJud:
That's just not true about the forty days. I got mine in my email in 24 hours and you will too.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] JUSMEJOSE:
I unlocked mine in less than 5 minutes...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] DJiK:
That's because you have a box, José.

You're also charging people $15 at your store.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] AviatorJud:
For free?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Vaanhoot:
Why not use the free app in the market called "Galaxy_S Unlock"? It works great for me and allows you to re lock anytime.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] AviatorJud:
Ummm pretty sure there is no market app out there that unlocks phones. If there was this thread wouldn't exist and places wouldn't be able to charge for unlocking service.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] ukinny:
I called TMobile on the 25th (having got the phone that day), and by the next day I had received the unlock code via email from them, for free. The 40day is nonsense - it comes from this section of their website (http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-1588) :

"If you have a Postpaid Plan, T-Mobile will provide the SIM Unlock Code upon request to eligible customers, provided the requesting customer has a minimum of 40 days of active service with T-Mobile and did not request a Subsidy unlock code in the last 90 days."

Notice that it says active service, so assuming you aren't totally new to TMo, then you will have been with them for a while and that 40-day should not apply
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] DJiK:
There is an app for the international version. I've linked to it in my original post.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] JUSMEJOSE:
Yeah but its done in minutes you dont have to wait for tmobile and call customer service ....

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Tabulous:
looks like they are now supporting the gs3 in beta mode, maybe the OP cant try it out. step one may not save ur efs folder so just make a copy urself and proceed to step 2 and 3
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] howlingmoon12:
Not worth trying at all, unless someone is willing to risk a brick to try it, and keep in mind beta is support for the Intl version.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Vaanhoot:
I would try it but haven't rooted my phone yet. I tried it in the beta stages with my Captivate and SGSII with no problems. Probably will wait for a few days to see if it goes out of beta. I have an unlocked SGSII so no hurry for me in unlocking my SGSIII.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] dLo GSR:
have you tried it yourself?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] pooperscooper:
I have the Tmobile version. Called them and they replied with not being able to give unlock codes for this phone since it's too new and has not been entered in the system yet.

I rooted the phone. Tried the Voodoo and Galaxy S Unlock. No success.

Voodoo says Incompatible Device.

Galaxy S Unlock will not let me save efs and says something about problems with BusyBox.

Is there any other way I can unlock this phone?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Vaanhoot:
Yes I unlocked my original SGS Captivate and SGS II using this app. I haven't tried with the SGS III yet, I think the app only supports the SGS III International version at the moment, but will probably support the NA version in the coming weeks. I am in no hurry to unlock my phone yet.

Coming from a RAZR, I did the following.

1. Root device on 905

2. Place update in /cache with es

3. Ensure rom manager is installed

4. Click the zip that you placed in the /cache folder.

5. Click reboot and install from the rom manager menu.

6. Allow root permissions

7. It'll boot into stock recovery and boom.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TDJ512:
I ported the ICS Sense ROM from the Desire Z section found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1546915 using the kernel and update script found in plattypus latest release, Its fully preview operational its nicely fast once it gets going takes like 5-7 minutes I would estimate to finish settling in after the flash. However, even though it appears fully operational by preview standards I can't make phone calls, send text messages, mount sd card, common data bugs. If anybody can make a modification here a modification there this ROM should come pretty close to fully operational. Screen orientation is proper keyboard lights up and is operational. Any how heres a download link to check it out if you'd like. I doubt I'm gonna do much more then this which is why I'm not opening a development thread on it, besides I don't have permission from the Desire Z dev (I didn't ask). http://d-h.st/2sf

[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TDJ512:
I didn't post it in the development section because then I would be forced to fix it lol it appears to be a good base, if anybody wants to get their dev on with an idea on how to fix the remaining issues, they can post it in the development section after asking for approval of the dev in the desire z section (give props where they are deserved maybe?), since this is a Q&A section, my question is, can anybody fix the remaining issues? Honestly, I think all that's needed is modification to the build prop maybe a kernel mount issue like the 1 similar to 3.5 before drob311 fixed the mounting issue, a few bin/lib/etc file swaps, the camera issue that's apparent with many Sense ICS ROM's out there. modification maybe to the update script. Its a good step maybe it'll help plattypus? I don't know but I figured it was worthy in making accessible to the community, maybe it'll help with something?
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] megaghostgamer:
Tell you what, Ask both developers for permission. Then ask The_Platypus for help with the data. If you can fix the data, This Rom would be better than his. I have seen some stuff on Google on how fix data and wifi. Maybe you could do some research on it. I hope this helps. I'm not going to give up hope because this is a pretty good port to be honest. I PM'ed you too btw :)
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TDJ512:
I think plattypus work is pretty awesome, I wouldn't have been able to do crap without the kernel he presented and writing update-scripts isn't my strong suit either. This release is just a marker I suppose, I messaged him before I posted this, its kind of a more advanced preview in theory if you drop the usr folder from this ROM into his port, orientation & keyboard potentially could be fixed in his as well. The usr folder in his preview version wasn't meant specifically for the shift, since the Desire Z is a similar qwerty device/board to the Shift, working orientation was already established in the Desire Z port version that was compatible with the shift, then all I did was port the shift specific drivers into the Desire Z port. Like I said I used his packaged kernel and update script and since the Desire Z port was already on beta 6, its potentially more advanced in modification then plattypus preview port. If nothing else my driver modifications potentially advances plattypus port, hopefully this aids his efforts.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] megaghostgamer:
I still say you and him should work together on this! I mean you fixed a big problem. I'll take your advice and ask lots of people things It's going to take me a while to work some things out too. Thanks for this port though! :)
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sparksco:
I agree even if the OP is not planning on following up with updates any time you post a rom download link of any type of software it should be in development. Other people could work on it and post new versions then the OP can update the first post with links, credits ect.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TDJ512:
ha but then I would be pressured 100% to complete the project, I don't want the responsibility. I was just trying to contribute something to making ICS Sense a reality on the Shift, do my part. Besides, plattypus made the initial leap at getting things started my suggestion would be to tune into his work. I'm not trying to kang his ROM, I'm trying to collaborate.

Also some of the comments say that they are having issues with certain buttons, and on the youtube video one comment says something about getting bricked. So idk
