[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] EG6:
Same thing with mine. I first encountered the error last night. Gf was calling me, so I opened up the notification bar, turned on bluetooth, and connected my headset. By the time I was done, she had already hung up, so I quickly called her back and got the "Not allowed by sim" error. I kept calling her back and kept getting the stupid error. It wasn't until she called me back 10 minutes later, that I was able to talk to her.

I just tried making a call right now, without bluetooth, and I got the error again. I rebooted my phone and the call went through.

I have this same problem on Telus.

The first time it happened, I rebooted the phone and all was good.

Right now it did it again and despite a reboot it still won't let me dial out.

Hey guys,

i'm looking for some App that could activate GPS automatically with the Navigon App. My SGS3 is rooted, maybe that could help.

I'm thankful for any help and sorry for my bad english ^^
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chamonix:
The security model of android does not allow apps to enable gps. There are workarounds but you should be aware of the issues that this may cause: an app could turn on fine grained location and track your position without your knowledge.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MadStu:
Get the app called "Tasker".
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lujohnny:
hmm it seems it could work with tasker but then you've to install custom ROM and that's not the point in my opinion...well then...there's no way until google change their mind :)

Hi I would like a good battery life I have v20v and ril v20f

But I lose signal and takes 1 till 5min to find it back anoying!!!! So what sould I do?

I'm on cm7 and so is v10x baseband and rill beter for battery or not?

I want to change v20s is pissing me off

I'm on cm7 kang and live in france/europe.

So some heelp would be great:)
[LG Optimus 2x] HolySid:
Did you try installing and running GetRIL? It should give you the proper baseband and RIL match.
[LG Optimus 2x] reggiexp:
yeah

Just to tell you cm7 cant have android 2.3 ril only from froyo (v10) and from su660

But i have a baseband from 2.3 installed but signal is bad battery seams okay max not a lot usage 8h

But on 2g and powersave profile

So i would like to know froyo baseband and rill is better for battery or not?
[LG Optimus 2x] Memhis:
First, you should really do some reading... And in case that you haven`t see it, here is the link for baseband topic (sticky and on top of page) -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1658047

Second, there is no best baseband/ril, every user/country will have their best and trying different combination will eventually get you to your best. So, read the tonyp`s great topic and ask for tips there, read your rom`s topic if there is some baseband tips and get your smartflash up and running ;).

Hi all, I have a question with SBeam.

I have everything enabled (Wifi direct on, nfc on, Sbeam on) and when i put my two S3's together it says touch to beam. After I touch to beam nothing happens... and no files get sent. Anyone else having this problem?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] surfboard3r:
I had an idea today that may or may not be even possible but I am still curious nonetheless:

The goal is to use a tablet screen to serve as an external display for the GN. The only use I could see for this would be if it were possible to take a non-working tablet (like if the inernals were fried, but the screen was fine) and use the MHL output from the phone to connect to the tablet screen and by pass the internal stuff of the tablet. Thus, this would be like making a homemade Asus Padphone. This way I could strip the internals from the tablet, minus the battery and some others, and connect a bluetooth keyboard and mouse to the phone, then i would have a makeshift laptop setup but everything is still stored on the phone. The reason to use the external screen and not just use the phone screen is because its just too small to do most productivity work.

What do u guys think?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] admiralspark:
How good are you with hardware, or automation systems like Arduino?

Not to mention, you'll need the proper drivers for the external display to be recognized as both an external display and an external input device.

Interesting idea though!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tacosrdelicioso:
Wrong section
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] surfboard3r:
Hardware is what I'm good at, and I have a lot of experience with Arduino, the real problem would be the drivers i think, i wonder how hard it would be to get my hands on the drivers for the padphone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phydo:
Its definitely possible. The phone will act as a USB host.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rsngfrce:
Epic 4G Touch stock rooted Android 2.3.6. Since the 3.7.13 update, the Google Play Store is displaying landscape app preview pics in portrait style even when I have my phone in landscape. In other words, they don't fill the screen like they should, but are displayed sideways as if I was still in portrait mode. I've been noticing this for a while now, but figured it had to do with how the dev uploaded the pic, but I confirmed today that it happens with all apps that have landscape preview pics (Angry Birds is a good example), so I believe this issue started with the latest update. I haven't been able to find any other reports of this issue. I'd appreciate hearing if others are or are not experiencing this issue to see if it is Android version and/or phone specific. Thanks!

(This is in addition to the known 4G download issue with the latest update, which I am also experiencing.)

I remember some threads in the Epic 4G Touch forum about beats and there was a lot of drama with it. People claiming it didn't work and was only a placebo for those who noticed a difference. Is it any different this time around?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Success100:
beats its def overrated. just exaggerated bass and treble. you can do that with any eq software
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] cwalker29:
I flash a rom with it on it but it does absolutely nothing! What's the point?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Stryker1297:
beats is just a preset equalizzer setting. i could hve the exact same with an equalizer app from play store
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] jarnow94:
Beats is flashable through CWM, but as the other posters said, it's just an overrated equalizer.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] dasistsparta:
Beats is just marketing stuff lol. All the kids at my gym wear beats headphones now because they think it is cool:D
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] bonebeatz1234:
UM I HAVE THE EVO 4g lte and the gs3 beats is not by any means a gimmick . The stuff on the market won't replicate the sound so stop the lies please. It's more of a studio sound to the music that's tailored to rap n r&b music. Rock n roll and all the other music don't sound that great with beats. But there's something that's pretty close its called awesome beats which you can flash. I played with the settings a tad and got it to sound like my evo . But if you don't listen to rap or r&b don't waste your time with awesome beats or beats by dre. I work in a studio everyday as a teacher and you can tell the differrence when listening threw studio monitors. I was a sketic of beats when a student asked me about it, but we did some testing and its pretty legit, we actually used his laptop and my evo with the same song and it was identical.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] MrJESUSatWork:
What you're describing sounds like the "soft bass" EQ preset with PowerAMP....
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Don_Perrignon:
My experience with Beats is similar to the majority here in that it's just an equalizer. However, what I've noticed is that with ear buds, I was able to get louder and clearer sound out it. But, with other equalizer settings, I got more bass from others - which is what I wanted.

Now, in my car, the equalizer setting I used for more bass what almost overkill in the car. Beats provided the best experience from the rest of the equalizers in my car.

I've never tried Beats ear buds or headphones, so I can't comment on that. But, I'm darn sure they're not on the league of Bose.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Success100:
i think its safe to say if theres 50 people saying that they can achieve better sound than beats using a EQ program than were probably not "lying".

I took my evo lte back and though it did sound good, the built in EQ program on the music app on the s3 has made my music sound just good as beats. Its all marketing.

hello xda members,

i am new to this forum

i want a little help from you guys as i have very little time for researching.

i have samsung galaxy sii i9100 .

i live in india so its a indian original verson not like the carrers like sprint etc.

i have no upgrade just a simple root.

i want to unroot this phone so that i could upgrade to android 4.0 from samsung and not any other roms.

the problem is that i unroot the device with the one click unroot. but after unrooting the phone it says that flash the phone with the original firmware.

i know or dont kow that i can flash any original firmware to my phone.

my phone firmware starts with XKDW or something like that.

for detail i will post some pic about my phone but my phone is currently unavailable due to low battery.

if you cant provide the perfect answer atleast can you send any links which could brush my knowledge. i am out of this business for more than an year.

also i am going to take that phone to a service center for some technical difficults so i dont want to know them that this phone is/was rooted.

thanks for talking time to read this thread.

please need help. i heard that if no one has answer xda has.

please let me know if i am in the right section of this form. if not direct me a link.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LastStandingDroid:
if you wan't to upgrade you don't need to unroot, just flash firmware trough odin (addicted to your country)

also to unroot just flash with oding (stock firmware) and wipe data/factory reset and done,

threads are everywhere in general just look around
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrisR82:
Since this topic is started might aswell use it instead of making a new one...so my question is:

From what I've read, in order to install CM7.2 on a Galaxy S2, you also need to install a custom kernel...so if I did all that, and want revert back to my original ROM and kernel, I just flash a stock ROM from Sammobile? Or the Kernel will remain the custom one (if so, how do I change it back to the stock one)?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LastStandingDroid:
Nope your kernel won't be left until you flash a Rom which has no kernel, but all Samsung roms out there have kernels inside the flashable tar or zip, you ain't smart if you don't provide a kernel which is made specially for the Rom
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] serialkiller0707:
details of my phone

Kernal version : 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKDD-CL161513root@Dell103 #2

what kernal should i now flash to unroot it.

please give me a link and / or the various numbers.

if i sold it here on xda on the marketplace do you think 400 is a fair price?

need some opinions especially if you have sold phones on here before. If you dont think thats a good price what would your opinion be?

Ive had it since release day the thing is in amazing shape maybe a few light light scratches on the battery cover if you look hard but nothing besides that.

It comes with:

the really nice screen protector from the mall i think its invisible shield

otterbox commuter case

GSP case

32GB sdcard

Galaxy nexus extended battery

stock battery

original box with all manuals and unused headphones

official samsung hml to hdmi cable

kinda want an s3 so might sell it if i can get a good chunk of change lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] iandr0idos:
Sell it for higher. The phone itself should be about $350. SD Card is $60 if it's Class 10. Invisibleshield is $30. And the other things, I don't know.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cschmitt:
Can buy it NIB on Amazon for $350, I wouldn't pay more than about $200 for a used one.

Accessories might entice someone to buy but don't add much to the overall value.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cojomojo:
RE: Price

You can get used ones on eBay for $300 so with your accessories id say a fair price is more like $350
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] skyrocket727:
yeah 300 for the used. Might sell it for 330-350 if its in really good condition. I personally dont care about extra accessories.They just simply dont add any value to your phone. At least when sell people seems like yeahh whatever i just need the phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cschmitt:

$250
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] crystalclear30:
I'd say between $250 and $300 depending on the condition, scratches, nicks etc.

I agree, accessories have no value on used items.

Why are you selling this awesome phone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mahanddeem:
I had put mine as "feeler" for 340$ including the US only shipping charges and insurance .. Had to deal with few tire kickers in the market place section here on xda ... Then I deleted my post and what I can see is that I would be for sure a complete dump if I sell this awsome phone for 200$ or 250$ ... Never worths it..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] crystalclear30:
Yeah thats always the case. Once you buy a phone a new one comes out and brings down the value.

Overall the i727 is still a good phone and not worth selling for $250. I would have sold mine for $400 if i could and bought the S3.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] skyrocket727:
im currently selling my skyrocket on craigslist for $320. saw a couple of ads the prices range from 400 for unused and 300 to 350 for used. Some of them have scratches and about 6 to 5 month old. My phone is about one a half month old with 0 scratches . So far its kinda going slow I bet if I'll lower a price below 300 thing would go smoothly. Let's see... I once managed to sell used Kindle fire for 180 !!! who knows :) crazy people out there.

I got my skyrocket off of Craigs list for 300 and it came with box and usb and charger plus it also came unlocked and its in mint condition just a small Nick on the bottom left can't even tell its there so I'd say 300 to 340 maybe 350 if it Comes with all thoes accessories I would pay like 340 or 350

Selling a skyrocket

I live in a small town in the middle of nowhere, but I hopped on Craigslist instead of going with a traditional online sale, and I got $350 out of my skyrocket with very minimal scuffs on the battery cover, a defender otter box, an invisible shield and the charger. Depending on where you are, you may consider that, I'd imagine a bigger town might turn a little better profit than the rednecks I live around. :good:

$199 with contract for 2 years. So i still have some money left. Confusing? I added extra line but move everything to my wifes phone and use some old phone w/o data. So now i have 3 numbers one on my skyrocket , one on my wifes sg3 and one on dumy phone

No you not becouse phone you purchase will be transfer to your existing account. You just adding line and removing all futures from line you just added. And using just phone on your existing number
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Skyrocket2Paradise:
ok so tell me if this is right

-I have a skyrocket on unlimited plan

-trade the skyrocket into bestbuy

-open up a new phone line with no data and use the 2 year discount on that line for the galaxy s3

-swap the s3 to the phone # that had the skyrocket

-get my old garbage phone and use that on the line i just bought with no data

is that right? I thought in order to get the two year discount on a smartphone you had to buy a line that included data but i could be wrong
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] car vs driver:
You can get a refurb from AT&T for $9.99 (with contract). At least, that's what I paid for mine two months ago when I got it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lnfound:
Also pretty sure you need data, in fact it's 5 more a month.

And is this best buy trade in only if you sign up for a new contract?

You are correct. Just remember you have to pay $9.99/month for extra line and remove data and all crap from new line.

Selling my phone with:

Phone w/ OEM 1850mAh battery

1 OEM Samsung Galaxy Nexus extended 2100mAh battery(works in the Skyrocket - causes VERY slight bump when in the phone)

Original box/manuals

1 OEM wall charger

1 OEM micro USB cable

1 RND micro USB

1 RND desktop dock charger w/ second battery charging (modified to allow charging while case is on phone) w/ AC adapter for faster charging

1 universal windshield car holder

2 black Diztronic TPU cases

1 pair OEM headphones - they are used - but have earbuds that have never been used

and getting for it

Galaxy Tab 10.1 + $100 cash.

Worked out perfect for me. I was looking at buying my son a used tab 7 and those are ~$120-$140 so getting the 10.1 + cash, it would cost me roughly ~$130 to upgrade one of my lines to the GS3.
