1 + 2 tried, but didn't work.

Maybe I will try it with a new battery. Thanks for the information guys!

Edit: I do not have insurance (1 year is done) :(

The PD15IMG I had on my card was the original stock Ginger bread I think and I would had to have re-rooted.

fried eMMC on MyTouch 4G

I'm also having this issue, got confirmed that my MT4G is dead, but I got it revived using this method here, it is not intended for MT4G, but i got it working...I temporarily using it, while waiting for fix (if there is any) and finding mainboard for my device.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DKMikey:
Problem is, my phone doesn't even go into recovery...or hboot.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iLOSER:
Any solutions yet? I've been reading this and have done everything here.

I've bought myself a new replacement battery off eBay. Charged it over night and still nothing. Powering up the phone, it vibrates. After powering up the phone and left it on for 5 min, I waited to see if it'll recognize my phone through the computer so I can check if it's the phone or the lcd, but still nothing. Any suggestion will be really grateful! And I have no insurance. Bought it used over Craigslist.

Sorry, I'm not trying to jack anyone's thread. Just didn't want to start a new one with almost the same problem.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tanner195:
I think your volume button is stuck was reading somewhere that someone fixed it by taking his volume button apart and it was stuck pressing up I think and that's y it was doing that not sure if this would help u at all but you might wanna try that
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tanner195:

Read that post it shows that the volume up button is stuck. The vibrations happens to me to if I power my phone down and then hold the up button and try and power on so I think that's the cause of all this
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iLOSER:
just took my phone apart and it's not stuck. how would i know if my phone is bricked? that's all i'm worry about. it's not rooted of any sort.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tanner195:
I don't think it can get bricked if its not rooted unless u bricked it trying to root it but if u never tried to root it and its never been rooted your chip probably just failed even if u don't have insurance I'd still call and complain bc that's pretty much their fault I think
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iLOSER:
is it possible for me to complain when i bought it through craigslist and not from tmobile personally?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tanner195:
Hmm I'm not sure I bought mine from craigslist and I got my insurance transfered over by their website but I'm sure if they find out its from craigslist they'll blame it all on that even though its probably the phones fault. It'll also score u some points of you've been with tmobile along time so its up to u you can try and probably get told there's nothing they can do for u or you could just not try at all
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iLOSER:
this is weird. i took out the battery and waited for a few second. put the battery back on, plugged in my usb attached to my pc, and it installed My HTC. any clue what that means?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tanner195:
I'm still new at this but it could if been installing the drivers but I'm not sure someone smarter than me will see this tomorrow and tell u
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
You are absolutely right. It's the drivers.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DKMikey:
I did a lot of research before I opened the thread. Honest mistake, but that was an XDA thread about the Droid Incredible 2. Even after taking the phone apart, I learned that it's not the volume button that's the problem. For their phone, yes it was.

Yep, volume up + down + power turns on safe mode. But it wasn't that the volume button was stuck.

Well, if you can get ADB to work, try rebooting into hboot or bootloader.

However, after getting it checked out at an Indian repair shop, they told me the motherboard (eMMC chip?) failed. So, in essence, I have a bricked phone. Will see if the free extended AMEX warranty for one additional year works out for me.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iLOSER:
mines possibly bricked also! idk how. or probably has a dead eMMC? is there a way to check at all? it doesn't boot into recovery, hboot or any other mode. just vibrates. i found a site that repairs brick MT4g but i'm not sure if it is bricked.

here's the site

New Motherboard

Sorry to tell you this , but your motherboard is gone , i had mine replaced at a local phone repair shop for $70 , but they screwed me over , by not attaching my wifi antenna , so it deosn't work , if you get it repaired , check all your phone's features , that they work before leaving the repair shop and ask for warranty on repair. :)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iLOSER:
probably gonna sell the phone for parts/repair on Craigslist. and add some cash on the side and buy myself a new phone. only if they have a AIO kit to repair MT4Gs, it'll be great! :(

thanks guys!

I've not dabbled in the tablet game yet. So is this thing worth the price? Seems to be last years tech and a refurb at that.

Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zinfinion:
I've installed CM9 (latest nightly) on my Tab 2 7.0 and prefer to use the phone UI. I've added the following to system/build.prop

ro.sf.lcd_density=240

qemu.hw.mainkeys=0

This successfully changes to the phone UI and displays the nav bar at the bottom. Unfortunately, the soft keys (Back / Home / Recent) do not display.

It is possible to edit the navigation bar through the settings menu, but only the Menu button can be reassigned. It is also the only button to appear when editing.

Any ideas on how this can be fixed to properly display the buttons?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottx .:
Aokp (rom control) allows you to change the keys around.

I would love to play around in a phone ui on here too.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zinfinion:
I tried AOKP Milestone 6 as well. Similar but different issue. The soft keys appear when using the phone UI DPI, but they are stacked vertically in the horizontal bar. Basically you can see a half cutoff back button and a half cutoff home button. The recent button is off screen. And if you rotate the device, the soft keys rotate in place, and are then horizontal in the vertical bar.

I'm getting the impression that at this stage in their releases neither CM9 nor AOKP are accounting for the Tab 2.0's 90 degree offset default sensor coordinates. Another bug that convinces me of this is that Mega Jump (notorious for tablet issues) when launched rotated to landscape when using AOKP (using tablet UI / DPI=160) but appeared vertical on the landscape oriented screen, pillarboxed on both sides. To avoid any confusion envision the tablet being held in landscape orientation, with the 352 wide x 600 tall game boxed on both sides by black 336 x 600 rectangles. Hopefully that makes sense (I had similar issues with some of Aldiko's menus wanting to prefer landscape over portrait as well, no pillarboxing though).

Anyhow, I then switched to stock rooted deodexed UEALD3, Mega Jump launched, stayed in portrait orientation, and filled the screen as it should. Either orientation, stock or AOKP, the tilt controls worked fine.

Long story short, all this has me sticking with stock for now. I'm interested to see if the Nexus 7 is prone to these sort of issues, or if it has a default portrait oriented sensor akin to most phones, since it basically appears to be designed to be used in portrait. A big phone without the phone as it were.

Please let me know if there are any other things you think might work. I'd be thrilled to get around this issue.

Well i did order mine last wednsday 4th and got it for 211$ shipping all. I suppose to receive it by now. I called them and they told me order didnt go through. Someone had posted that bestbay or radio shock had them for 150$ i was trying to get that and she came back with 99$ deal. I was like highfive. :D

Wonder what kind of deal I can get off contract?:D:cool:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rodabi:
I was able to get a similar deal last year on my Atrix. They called it a $100 loyalty bonus - I think most primary lines in good standing will get that every couple of years if you ask. I'm going to see later on today if I can get the same discount on the S3 :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nismax:
I have good experience with att. 250$ if you call and tell them you are having problems with something they will do alot to help. Was thinking to switch to vzw since they have best signal in a building but no thanks. Im staying.

Well I tried with Best Buy. Radio shack is advertising it for 149 but it's not in stock in my area yet. I paid 199 at BB so I asked about their price match policy and they said when it's in stock at RS they will match it. So hopefully I save another 50 bucks.

What number did you call and what did you tell them?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] brookfield:
Called 611 then sales. Told the csr about radio shack price and that some people were getting the phone for $99. He reviewed my account and said he would see what he could do. Came back and refunded $93.00 something and credited the 36 + taxes upgrade fee. Very nice guy. He did say any credit depends on size and length of account (8 plus years family place with 4 lines. 3 with smart phones.) Good luck
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tamanaco:
I just called AT&T mentioned the Radio Shack and Best Buy deal and they said that they do not price match. The best price I was offered was $199 - I told the rep that some folks were getting the S3 for $99 and she asked for proof (Receipt). She also suggested that it was probably a $99 quote for a SII Skyrocket - I called 611 and 1-800-331-0500 from NYC. Where you guys calling from? I'd like to get this deal, my contract expires in about a week.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nismax:
I do call them again. Hopefully you get a nice rep who does care and is willing to help. Good luck

Just print out the screen with the price and bring it to best buy and ask them to price match Wal-Mart.

I just got mine for 99$ on wednesday. contract is up....told them i was going to sprint because amazon had it for 99$ for new customers......they said they would honor that price, with no activation fee and free priority shipping. well my mom called them up on friday afternoon. (family plan) still not here.........she made up some sob story about how it was a bday gift and she promised it to me as if i was 14. lol and they made her break a promise..and blah blah......well supposedly it's coming monday......and they comped all 3 lines of data for 6 months. we all have the $25 2 gig plan......which I got to keep mine also.. we'll see if what they said/did/do happens. probably should have got my mom to make them send me an otterbox as well. ahhaha
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] shawnj0:
I just wanna make sure the 99 is on a term right?

If you guys are getting the s3 for 99 no term that's insane lol.

For reference I got mine free from the source by circuit city (aka radio shack) for 0 on a 3 yr term.

Nice guy I guess.

BestBuy PriceMatch

I bought the White S3 for 149.99 3 days ago at Bestbuy.com. And today I went to walmart and see that they have it for 89.99.

I call Bestbuy for price-match , and the guy answering the phone said that they can't do price match because the model number on Walmart website is i747 while the model of my S3 is SGH-i747 even though those two are the same, same color, same memory. So they cannot do price match because SGH-i747 and i747 are not the same. Anyone have this problem?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] shawnj0:
That guy is an idiot go into the best buy and demand a price match
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kvl19:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dgball:
I was told this weekend that they (Bestbuy) could only match the Walmart store price (148.88), not the walmart.com price (89.99). The actual Walmart store wouldn't even match walmart.com because the order is actually fulfilled by some outside company. No luck with att or att premier on getting the phone for 99.99 talked to 4 different customer service reps. Ended up getting at Walmart for 148.88+tax.

If anyone has a Sam's Club membership (this may apply to Costco people as well), my sister got her Galaxy S II last year on Black Friday for $1.04 INCLUDING TAX and that was when the phone had only been out almost 2 months. Even better, you just had to call ahead and make an appointment to come in, so there were no long lines or crazy shoppers to deal with! I was jealous that I had paid $160 just a little over a month prior, haha. I'm sure they'll do it again this year, so if you're in the market for a new phone, I'd try and wait for Black Friday since it's only a little more than a month away.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] faulkton:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BonesHopkins:
I wonder if it matters what time you call. When I bought my phone I called on a Sunday and I think I got a call center somewhere in Asia (India or Pakistan). I wonder if after a certain time more calls get routed to call centers where the reps are outsourced and don't have a lot of leeway in what kind of offers they can give?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tuffluck:
Thanks to this thread, I just called and got a $147 credit on my account. In fact it was so easy, I could have probably told the guy RS was offering it for $1 and he would have given me a full refund!

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tamanaco:
I'll try again tomorrow, but I don't think it has been a matter of getting a nice rep. A couple of the reps I spoke to have been very helpful and doubled-checked with their supervisors to make sure. I know that the reps have some wiggle room, but I think it's company policy not to price-match brick & mortar retailers. If someone were to post a copy of their $99 SGSII AT&T receipt, with personal info redacted, maybe it can be used as leverage to try to get the discounted price.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] biggins1870:
I got a similar deal from Best Buy.

Signed up for their Phone Freedom promo back in January which nets you a $50 gift card (that can be used on the phone) when you upgrade a phone with them this year. With that I paid $150.

Next day I saw the Radioshack deal and went back to BB for a price match. They refunded me $50. All told paid $99. :-)

Mine was $350, no upgrade used, no contract extension and I got to keep unlimited data. :good:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bdbx18:
I am so used to calling ATT now that I should have them on speed dial. Called when the preorder did not give me the unlimited data plan option, called to get a pricematch with Target's 150 price (no dice), so called again to complain and threatened to start terminating my 4 lines and got a 105 credit, called to get the activation fees removed (which they should have in the first place) ... So this morning, I called again to complain about the lower RS deal and they gave me a 100 credit (50 for each of my sgs3). I have yet to receive the confirmation email.

I did the same call/complain routine with the Note as well but eventually I returned that behemoth.

Tips:

- Call retention and ask about terminating lines due for renewal if they don't do something but be reasonable.

- Sales/upgrade dept is difficult to negotiate with but as others have said, call back and pray you get another call center, preferably in the daytime.

- Usually being nice works but in ATT's case, it matters whether the CSR or dept you've reached as any power or overriding policy to deny you a price credit. During my Note purchase, I spent a few wasted hours being pushed around various depts and even getting a follow up call back..... before being denied a measly 50 credit still.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BonesHopkins:
Well, I didn't get the $99 price but I did get them to match the rat shack $149 price. BTW, Amazon also has it for $149.

Oh, and yes, I think the call center your call gets routed to makes a big difference. When I ordered my phone direct through ATT, I got what I think was an overseas outsourced call center and they would not match the amazon $149 price at that time.

But today I got someone who sounded like they were in the US and they looked up the rat shack and amazon prices and had no problem matching it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Descadent:
talked to best buy they said they would price match it, but it has to be instock and there isn't radioshack here that is it instock.

also called att again and they said no sorry go to radioshack again for 2nd time.

so bummer
