Three is ONLY wcdma network based. or there something is totaly changed.

In UK is verry simple 1.19 punds on ebay and HTC unlocked in 5 minutes from buying code. I have unlocked 2 sxl, 1 One X and 1 One S - simple, cheap and quick. I recommend seller "phone.market" i unlocked from those guys- their system is automated and u get code in couple seconds in your email.
[HTC Sensation XL] mantonas:
Thanks mate, I will defo have at that. Cheers for the tips :thumbup:

I've been having issues with my messaging app not being able to send picture messages since last night. I was able to before and now I get a little message that says the service isn't activated on my network. Not sure what's going on
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] saf100792:
Idk if thid has been posted or talked about I haven't seen anything but has anyone else noticed a dim red light in side of the left most circle on the front of the phone? Anyone know what it is? Just curious
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] tonu42:
Yea its called an led
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] mt3g:
Its a notification light.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] RotaryXperiment7:
i know what he means ive seen it as well. its not the led. on the right side of phone the most inner sensor to the left. right next to the "G" on samsung. its done it on mine as well
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Pirateghost:
probably the proximity sensor ;)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] badname:
seen it on my evo lte, dont see it on my new, far superior, sgs3 (sprint), but seems to me that it may be an IR led.

the phone has to send something out to see if it will get it back to measure proximity, whats better than infrared light??

thats my story and im sticking to it
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] MasterN02:
The light that you are noticing is the infrared LED used for the proximity sensor (turning the screen off when placed against your face). This LED likely also helps with facial recognition (for unlocking via the front camera) and eye tracking (keeping the screen on while you are looking at it) as well...as it appears to be on in those times. This is used because infrared light is reflected by your eyes and easy for a camera to pick up.

Hope this answers your question!

God Bless!!!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] strikeoutss:
No it's skynet. Your phone is about to start the machine uprising.

Sorry couldn't resist. Was talking to some friends at lunch about terminator.

I've seen the light as well. Not sure what it is. Samsung has done some tricky things with this phone. Like hiding the nv_data.bin file in a different mount point. My refs got corrupt with me doing nothing but flashing cwm through Odin.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] xoltrix2000:
Is it or does the new version of Allshare app blows in comparison to the old one (S2)?

I'm assuming I'd have to root and deodex my phone in order to copy the old one?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] rompnit:
Agreed.. I want the old AllShare back! I tried pushing the apk, but it only starts then FCs. :crying:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] xoltrix2000:
Here's a couple of the bad things I've noticed:

The new one is not backwords compatible with the PC version of the Allshare app, therefore installing another web based app

Any video I stream from the phone has to buffer every 10 seconds, unlike the old one, same video, is silky smooth with no hicups

I can't browse by folders!!!!!!!!!! I have scroll through hundreds of videos!!!!!!!!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] jcejohnson:
How would Twonky compare for DLNA streaming?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] blue265:
I pulled the Dlna.apk (allshare) from my sgs2 and it seems to work fine. Only problem is its hard to see some of the fonts for some reason. Still usable though and am attaching it here in case anyone wants to try. Just copy it to system apps. No force closes for me and yeah you need to be rooted. I felt the same about new allshare so I use the old version

Oh and the other issue is your media server will see your device as i9100 since its from that device

http://db.tt/ssiDkpGu
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] rompnit:
This one worked.. Thank you!! They must have made some changes from the Epic apk to the SGS2? :silly:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] blue265:
They must have made changes from Epic to SGS2 if the epic apk didn't work.

Also, I just realized the other day that you can go into More Settings -> Nearby devices -> File Sharing. You can also share that way. However, playing with it I am not able to stream MKV container videos to my TV. Whereas with the Allshare App I attached above works no problem. You can stream MKVs without issue. The only issue is that allshare is hard to see because of the white theme and the thumbnails look a little pixelated. Its works fine though
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] ewingr:
Yeah, I miss original Allshare too. I can't seem to find my Onkyo Receiver to ouput to.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Don_Perrignon:
So, I'm coming from the MyTouch 4G. I remember in the beginning, HTC was making the phone with screen from Sony and LG. The Sony screens were of higher quality and many people were exchanging them for the ones with the screens made by Sony.

I want to know, is there anything of the sort going on with this phone? Is there any reason right off the bat that I might want to do an exchange for?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Don_Perrignon:
Anybody??
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dls5375:
Well I don't know about my touch 4g but the nexus one which was HTC had an amoled screen made by Samsung but there was a shortage of amoled screens and Samsung wanted to use them on their phones so HTC had to get screens from I think Sony and from what I remember they weren't as good. Samsung makes the screens for the sgs3. That's not gonna change. Unless there's an actual defect or u just don't like the phone you shouldn't have any issues like that.

t-mobile stock rom/rooted
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] zmore:
No, there are no MAJOR issues with this phone, but that doesn't stop some people from returning it for nitpicky reasons.

Here's a non-exhaustive list of the stupid stuff I can recall people returning their brand new SGS3's for:

Power button is "loose". I don't think it's meant to be a supertight fit; mine wiggles a little too (big deal). Also, if you check out the ifixit teardown, you can see how it fits in there (loosely).

Volume rocker makes "squeeky" noises. Mine doesn't.

In absolute darkness, with the capacitive button lights off too, with the screen on, and showing a black screen, ... you might be able to see a few faint ink spots. oh no!

"MMS isn't working". This is not a hardware problem, but rather than just doing a factory reset to default, and contacting your carrier, this user EXCHANGED the phone instead and got extra free accessories too! derp.

The white version looked a little yellow-ish to some people. Don't what to say to this one, as I haven't seen any pics, and my white is white.

Some people snapped the locking teeth off their back cover, but want to blame it as a manufacturer defect instead of just buying a new cover for $10.

And much more trivial crap that I'm forgetting...

In short: no gaping flaws with this phone.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cgardnervt:
Yeah well when you spend this much money on a brand new flagship phone that most people keep for 2 years they should be able to return an imperfect device. I for one had a loose power button. Did it work? Sure it did! But 6 months from now I don't feel the need to shell out extra money just because it stop working or fell out or whatever the case may be.

If you don't like your phone your well within your right to exchange it or return it within 30 days. I did the same with my HOX. I love HTC but the HOX just was not the phone for me.

Nit picky? Yes! Is it needed? Yes! Its a high end device. When I spend that type of money Id like it to be as close to perfect as possible. Again the S3 has no "major" flaws but it has some like any device. I still think Samsung did a great job with it's release. Other than the shortage but that's bound to happen.

Again this post isn't meant as a flame so please don not take it as such. It's simply my own personal opinion. And for the fact that ATT/Samsung is willing to change them in great CS in my eys. Not that they have much say if your within your 30 day return period. That's why this period is here to begin with. Because ATT/Samsung can stand behind there device and they are.

Cheers...

Some people are having Wi-Fi issues. Maybe it was just a small batch of phones. If you do get the phone definitely test out everything.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] phyba:
Reception and yellow screen tinting. I'm on my 3rd gs3 and still have both issues. I've read the gs2 had similar issues and we're later fixed. I'm thinking the yellow tint is normal. Just everything else we are used to has a blue tint. My Samsung tv setting is on a cooler setting as I don't like warm much.

I'll probably swap one more time and if I still have a yellow screen ill just deal with it
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Don_Perrignon:
Wow, those are some silly reasons. Yeah, I was looking for something major. That might be known. Like in the example I gave, people were able to go into Terminal Emulator and find out. HTC was trying to brush it under the rug, blah blah blah. I was lucky enough to get the Sony screen.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Don_Perrignon:
Thanks for the info.
[HTC Wildfire S] houjia:
Dear all, I have a htc wildfire s. yesterday my younger brother try to unlock my phone without knowing the unlocking pattern. He tried so many times that my phone was completely locked. now i have to enter my Google account username and password to access my phone. but no matter what format i entered, it just kept saying incorrent username or password. I have very important information stored in my phone and I don't want to lose it. Is there any way to unlock the phone?

many thanks
[HTC Wildfire S] titochan:
It happened with me once but the device unlocked when I entered my google username and password(and amazingly without any data connection)..

I think it matches the username and password stored in the device(used 2 connect 2 android market,2 sync data etc) to verify(may be thats why it didn't need any data connection..

try this :

-->If u use any different password along with your google account username to connect to 'htc hub' and/or 'htc likes' try those(i don't remember which i used)..

-->try entering null as password. (together with your google username)

-->try entering your username without @gmail.com

-->use both of above two steps together

-->try changing ur google account password via computer and try again..

-->go to htcsense.com and click forget password under sign in and reset ur password following the link sent to ur gmail and then try again

-->Call yourself from another phone, answer, without hanging up press the home button, then menu button, settings, try to disable pattern-lock or change pattern

-->Call yourself from another phone, answer, hang-up, directly after hanging up start pressing your buttons like a madman for <30-60 seconds ending with your home button (might take a while to get the timing right). Go into settings and disable pattern-lock.

-->try first 4 steps without the sim..

other than these saving ur data on devices internal memory will be difficult..factory reset phone or contact service centre(who will also probably factory reset ur phone)..well !! Best of Luck..:fingers-crossed:
[HTC Wildfire S] Sajikane:
If you created device specific password for your phone through "google 2-step verification", you have to enter that password instead of your actual google password...
[HTC Wildfire S] Akhil137:
just restart ur phone nd try ur pattern again.. thats it....
[HTC Wildfire S] titochan:
Well he has already reached the point where his device is asking for google username and password to unlock..pattern lock screen is not showing..so he cannot enter his pattern and thats why he needs help..so restarting will not help..
[HTC Wildfire S] Akhil137:
oh.. then he just have to enter its google username nd Password thats it.. :)
[HTC Wildfire S] titochan:
and thats where the problem starts..device doesn't recognises username and/or password(as it is with htc devices)..
[HTC Wildfire S] omnomnomkimiiee:
That happened to me once, I saw it as a opportunity to flash a new rom :D

-----------

"You can overclock as much as you want, your phone will always seem too slow."
[HTC Wildfire S] Akhil137:
Restore your phone nd then try to enter username

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ActionMax09:
Ok! I am seriously annoyed now. Is anyone experiencing any problems with the YouTube app?

As of me writing this so far i have experience no lag what so ever and the keyboard is very responsive. However, when i use the YouTube app and i type in it the phone becomes unresponsive and can't keep up with my typing. Meanwhile, the YouTube video stops but audio continues and with every update the we see less information on each slide. I also miss the black background the white really hurts my eyes. Is anyone experiencing any lag or bugs on the SGH-i727 (Skyrocket) with the YouTube app or is it just a skurocket thing because everyone is saying it is working great and i haunt found a thread over this or do i need to format my phone and flash it to stock, factory reset, remove everything and re-root with all the fun in between?

[Milestone 2 General] mmkah:
I am a milestone 2 owner and I messed it up.

I came from 2.3.6 GB Retail ROM, and run a bootstrap first time to go to CM7.2, and it is ok.

After a time, I decided to go to CM9.

And I run the bootstrap for second time.... so I got it bricked.

What I tryed before to ask?

1. Power up + Up arrow - doesnt work

2. Power up + x - Goes to blank screen

3. Power up + Volume Down + Camera = Bootloader OK

And a lot of another combinations that doesnt work.

The problem is the Phone isnt recognized by PC, I tryed using USB_Drivers_Bit.... 3 or 4 different versions...

I tryed Motorola motocast drivers...

Moto Helper (from first to last version)

And everytime is the same thing "your device can't be recognized".

I am thinking about to try ADB drivers, and at least Flash a SBF from linux, with SBF_FLASH scrypt.

And for worse, my battery is down.

Can someone give me a little help?
[Milestone 2 General] Caesarivs:
Well, you can't bootstrap on a custom ROM, you brick your phone, I guess that's a lesson learned the hard way

The good news is that your problem can be easily solved, use a universal charger to fully charge your battery, then you can get to the bootloader mode with up arrow + power button and flash the stock sbf again :)
[Milestone 2 General] mmkah:
[SOLVED]

Yes man, you're right. Let me talk about something

I sent my ML2 to tecnical assistance.... here at my city....

I think that they had try to pass a new rom or something like this.... without sucess.

They said me that it is a motherboard problem.

I took my phone back, I came to home and try to charge up,.... and it is working...(strange).

at 100% I tryed my rsdlite, and passed a full rom.... 2x

after I went to recovery mode (it was blocked at the first brick) and I did a wipes and wipes.....

IT IS BACK AGAIN, WITHOUT COST. FOR FREE!!

I am a very lucky man, very lucky man.

thank you CAESARIVS you are right, the only thing that we need is a fully battery, I have learned a lesson (at hard way).
[Milestone 2 General] DolphinWing:
I think they changed a new motherboard so you can do anything when you get it back.
[Milestone 2 General] Caesarivs:
I'm really glad you have your phone back :-)
[Milestone 2 General] mmkah:
No,

they said me the mother cost almost a new phone, and they gave up.
[Milestone 2 General] kinglau719:
i always flash the sbf if i brick the ms2
[Milestone 2 General] DJPreZes669:
I have big problem with my MS2. I flashed it via the RSD with some 2.3.4 rom (yes, I know, it's not the best rom to choose, but I did it...) and...

I have bootlop and no way to go into recovery. I tried everything, but my keyboard was dead (just few keys, but including X). Then I tried to swap keyboards with one from working MS. Still nothing. How to wipe that phone?! I have no idea. Please help.
[Milestone 2 General] Caesarivs:
Are you sure is a keyboard problem? Try taking the battery out, then, press and hold the X key, and put on the battery while holding it... you should get the android logo with an exclamation sign, then press both volume buttons...

If you try to get into bootloader (with the up arrow), can you get into it?
[Milestone 2 General] DJPreZes669:
Yes. That was a keyboard problem. I swaped another keyboard and it's working now (x at startup, then vol up and down + wipe everything) :)

Edit after few hours (and downgrading back to froyo)... Keyboard don't work :/ QWEADX and few more. On both old and new Milestone2 keyboard and on a Milestone1 keyboard. Maybe the flex cable is dead?

Guys earlier I posted an unboxing video in another thread. That video is right here.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BryoOlaWQaU&feature=plcp

Then I spent the next 4 or 5 hours trying to get the freaking thing activated. That finally happened, but I haven't had much time with the phone. Anyways, here's a quick video showing the boot up, and some speed tests on 4G LTE. This phone is beast! (it may be sideways for a bit but I've rotated it to the right in Youtube, sometimes it just takes a while)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Muckrak3r:
It's looking like the Verizon version is going to have sweet sweet battery life!

The phone starts at about 50% and I still have stellar life out of that! I had rebooted it and connected it via usb to try and get adb shell. Otherwise it would show nearly 20hrs of battery at this point!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tailsthecat3:
Have they fixed that 34ma battery drain issue yet? Officially? I'm a nexus dude but seriously considering returning it and getting in on one of these s3's. Just switched to Verizon and I love, love, love the network. Haven't been with vzw since '07.

I'd also like to know if there is still the bleeding/weeping/leakage of the back lights on the white version? Like there was on the white galaxy s 2.

Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Muckrak3r:
I'm not aware of this battery drain issue you speak of. If it exists on my phone, I can obviously obviously with it. The cell standby numbers are way too high, especially considering I was on full LTE coverage all night. My epic4g had a similar issue and it was fixed via software fairly quickly.

Mine is blue so I can't comment on your other question. Yes, the Verizon network is AWESOME!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] timeToy:
"The cell standby" that is the Battery drain issue he is referencing, it is not really a "real" drain issue, more a reporting issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Marcismo55:
Even with the drain issue that battery life is awesome. Thank you for posting your initial thoughts and battery stats.

[HTC EVO 3D] rootfreak:
The only thing that I can really think of is to try to downgrade your hboot. That should fix it. Look in the dev thread for guides.

Edit: have you tried flashing a new ROM/kernel through fastboot? That may work as well. Would be a lot easier then downgrading.

Or you could keep your hboot, but make it s-off using the wire trick. It's supposed to be pretty easy.
