[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] edfx00:
Yes I messed with the APN settings .. and yet those are for data . The phone as you have mentioned should boot automatically and yes many Galaxy NOtes are using Straight Talk. Now I have 3 different SIMS not working !? And yes they are in correctly etc.. if they weren't the Tmob SIM wouldnt work either.

I bought the phone New and it came unlocked as I prefer it that way rather than deal with ATT. I also travel abroad.

It's been a head scratcher.... Though I know the answer has to be out there.. I cant believe I have 3 bad SIMS in a row.

I am open to suggestions. Thank you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] pangyahit:
ok good to know, please let me know how it goes for you, as I am also in the same boat and trying to use SL for my lovely note
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Twiq:
did you flash custom roms?

you might want to take a look at your device informations, especially the IMEI, if its not your correct IMEI it means you've wrecked your /efs partition, search for EFS recovery to fix your imei and your sim card not recognized issue :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] edfx00:
Originally I did not..I inserted into the stock ROM. That didnt work , So then I flashed custom ROMS.. 3 different ones.. and they didnt work.

I dont understand what you mean by not the right IMEI ? Its a number.. the SIM doesnt screen IMEI's ? I bought it brand new about 6 weeks ago from Negri Electronics which specializes in unlocked phones.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] aj_vogtman:
They have a very good resellerating but one customer Lawrence reports something that would explain your case:

"Some of their unlocked phones (unlocked-originally branded) have the problem that they come with generic IMEI 004999010640000, this imei is generic and it is not unique. Phone won't get service in some countries(i.e UK) and it is a matter of time before this imei gets banned in US. Negri recognizes the problem but won't repair or exchange the phone, read their store policies before buying......................".
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] edfx00:
Well... then why would it work with T Mobile? I mean after all, its an ATT phone and designed to run on their networks? So it works with ATT and T MOB but not Straight Talk?

As well Thats not my IMEI, not to say perhaps its another generic one, I have no idea. You make some interesting points that I haven't heard before.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Twiq:
once again look at your device information - imei, and look at your imei on the box package or from under your device's battery, if they don't match then your EFS is ruined :D

flashing roms could cause these, but its pretty rare
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Twiq:
in this case, i think you have 2 problems..

1. your device is sim carrier locked (which you could unlock manually)

2. your /EFS partition which hold your original IMEI is corrupted (you could restore/fix this too)

if you happen to have some files mentioning EFS on the root of /sdcard then you should backup those files.. you might need those to restore/fix your EFS partition
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] edfx00:
Thank you for your insights Twiq.

OK... The IMEI #s match. SO that's not the issue ( I think).

It's unlocked, so even though its an ATT phone, it works with Tmob SIM.

As for the EFS corruption possibility, well, it didnt work with all original Stock ROMS on Android 2.36. I rooted it thinking maybe ATT had something in there..but it still didnt work after 3 different ICS ROMs. I restored the original ROM yet still zero.

It works for Tmob. If the EFS was corrupted, then even a Tmob SIM wouldnt work.. right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Twiq:
nope, then my earlier posts are irrelevant..

i think what you need here is flashing a different modem version which works with your current carrier/location.

what is your Baseband Version? it's on the about screen

you could try several modems listed Here, but flash only modems compatible with your current rom (GB/ICS)

there should be modems for international versions of Note, but i couldn't find one without downloading full rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
Just cutting in here. . .

With a galaxy tab if you wanted to put in a sim from a phone T-mobile would block you and you would get a generic web page saying go buy a data plan for your tablet. The solution was to delete the efs folder and let the android system rebuild it. That rebuilt efs was the generic 0049etc. So a bad efs won't stop you on T-mobile's network.

As for esn, US GSM carriers don't block that. I asked a service rep why not, especially in the cas of stolen phones? He said those stolen phones are new customers.

Sorry there's no help in those paragraphs, but they eliminate some things. . .

I still haven't seen that you tested the ST sims in another phone. Its unlikely but a good possibility.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] edfx00:
Baseband is i717UCLE2

I have flashed several of the ICS radios for T mobile... but that would effect the reception etc.. This didoes even recognize the SIM. From the moment the phone powers on it says "no SIM".

I talked to Negri, and they just unlock the phone just as you or I would with a code they buy in bulk.

So its no generic IMEI or any grey market stuff.

The radios it has are for ATT and this should work for an ATT StraightTalk SIM.. but it doesn't !?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] aj_vogtman:
Find someone with an AT&T unlocked phone. Your SIM should start up in their phone and their SIM should start your phone. If not then take it from there. I've had at least three radios that didn't work right with ST but all booted up fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] edfx00:
Right.. this is beyond a radio issue . They dont boot. When I boot with a non activated TMOB SIM, it doesn't say " NO SIM". It boots, if I try to make a call, it will say "network unavailable".

With the ST SIMS, it immediately says "NO SIM" before it even accesses the network. Samsung said that since it reads the TMOB sim, it cant be the sim card reader.

I am grateful for all who have volunteered their expertise here, yet still have yet to find a solution though I know there is one out there. Thank you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
Dude. . . The ST sims are dead.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] aj_vogtman:
A fast way to get a SIM is go to any Wally World and get the cheapest compatible phone. Then take the SIM out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
Or go online and order one. You will have it in two days max.

I just purchased a Lenovo Tablet K1 (Wifi+3G) in India.

Store: Lenovo Store, New Delhi

System Details as Below:

1. Model No: K1

2. Android Version: 3.2.1

3. Baseband Version: 11.810.09.12.00

4. Kernel version: 2.6.36.3

5. Build number: K1_A301_12_12_120109_M_SG

6. Carrier In Question: AIRTEL (Delhi NCR)

Issues I face:

1. 3G is not working with any SIM/Carrier

The SIM has been tested on Samsung Galaxy S and Samsung Galaxy NOTE. The Data services are active and working fine with the carrier and SIM.

2. Since the latest update (3.2.1) Once the Tab goes into sleep mode (either through a timeout or by short pressing Power button) The display refuses to come back ON. Even if it does, it stays ON only for a couple of seconds. I have to restart the TAB to start working with it Again.

I am a novice when it comes to modding/rooting a tab... but fully aware of changing ROMs with Devices like Galaxy S and Galaxy Note. So My knowledge can be termed as "better than a toddler".

Any help with the above mentioned problems is truly appreciated.

Sourabh ^^

Location: New Delhi

Carrier in use: AIRTEL (DELHI NCR)

Learn how to theme, or install CM9 or similar and use a theme with included theme engine.

Sorry I'm not more helpful. Drinking and smoking hookah, good luck though!:beer:

Edit, the symbols are in framework-res.apk or systemui.apk forget which.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Clark Joseph Kent:
as far as rooting and being new you can check out my signature links for the

GNote Super Everything Page...has all the info and tools needed.

The 4g symbol, that would take some tweaking but if you look into the custom ROMs section via my page you can see what other ROMs look like...ok

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] kendmclean:
My brother went and flashed a custom international rom. He doesnt remember which one, not that I think it matters at this point. Ive flashed many roms, I've even bricked a few phones, but with alot of reading on the xda site, and all the help from dev's have always unbricked my phone. His samsung doesnt turn on, does not go into recovery or into download mode. Ive tried taking the battery out holding both + - vol then usb then battery. nothing. When plugged into usb without battery, light turns on, when plugged into comp , comp starts looking for a driver, so i dont think its complety bricked yet, but it comes back with this message QHSUSb_dload. Ive read up on other phones on this message, any help with how to solve this. thanks
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Randomacts:
First slap him for not reading and then go to the development section of your carrier and look for fix thread for your issue I know attention has none not sure about the other carriers.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] billard412:
If he's seeing QHSUSB DLOAD its hard bricked. From what I've seen looking into this, I believe some HTC's have been able to be recovered from this mode but its not possible for us w/o JTAG. Someone correct me if I'm wrong and shed some light on the subject if they have any. Very intrigued by this and think that somehow an unbrick could be done with this with the right tools/knowloedge
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] kendmclean:
I looked at my the dev section there is no fix that I could find. So I posted the question in the proper samsung galaxy section. I dont believe there is a solution yet aside from sending it in. A few posts here and there touched base on it but I dont think anyone yet on here has eff'd there phones up to this point. Ive went through every samsung section to see if there were any similar post and nothing has really touched base, on it or ive triied it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] kendmclean:
Yes I found four posts about the similar qhsusb dload, and also read about jtag, already gave my brother the website url, to contact about sending the thing in. I just havent been able to find a solution on here.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] billard412:
well ill have to find and reread the stuff i saw abt the htc's cuz if im not mistaken some were actually made unbrickable because of this. i was able to install drivers, and talk to the phone with a couple of things, including odin but it just hung as i expected it to. I think something could be done with this, dont seem like the typical hardbrick. let a couple more people brick this thing, if its possible someone will figure it out

I believe this is the post your talking about. Anyways I just can't believe the broski actually bricked his phone, I trully thought it was damn near impossible. amazing
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] zelendel:
It is never impossible to brick a device. This is why one should know what they are doing before they do it. I mean really, he doesn't even know what rom he flashed? Flashing a device is not for everyone nor should everyone do it. If you don't understand what your doing then don't do it.

Well, the best thing to do would be to go to the sprint section and look at mskip's sticky with his toolkit, and load the qualcomm drivers. it's an ugly situation, but that's your best lead.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] kendmclean:
Ya I did that about 4 hours ago, in my devices and printers, in now says QHSUSB_DLOAD is working properly. Yet I cant get it to connect to the toolkit, to odin, I cant even find the phone with cmd. it makes a noise everytime you plug it in to the comp, well the comp does and it searches for drivers and installs them, they all installed correctly the first time aside from the one above that was fixed. Thanks though for the help, I really appreciate it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] aeakin:
If no other solutions work, a JTAG repair WILL unbrick your device. MobileTech Videos (www.mobiletechvideos.com) offers JTAG repair for the SGS3. I've used them to purchase a download mode jig and they have fast turn around times, great customer service, and excellent service. You really can't go wrong using them. Hope it all works out and you can get your device unbricked.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] CrimsinX:

Either this is your weak attempt at humour or you never read the entire thread, like I said in on the first page, He flashed a international rom. I dont need to recap the entire 2 pages, the fact that you posted that comment, like why would anyone want to brick their phone for warrenty if its working fine. just stupid. I appreciate your meaningless contribution to a site where some people try to learn a thing or 2. I would suggest you try taking the site more seriously. And if you cant, have some respect for the people that do. thanks again. take care

[General Questions and Answers] jacobgong:
I just wanted to ask if anyone knows how the battery status screen in android works. I mean how does it know the amount of power used by my screen? does every android Phone have ampmeters in them?

Also how does it know the power consumption of each app? You can't even measure that with an ampmeter, they all get mixed up in the CPU.
[General Questions and Answers] xaccers:
Certain number of calls to the CPU uses X amount, therefore if a process makes that number of calls then it knows roughly how much is used.

Screen at X brightness uses Y amount each second, therefore it is easy to work out how much the screen has used.
[General Questions and Answers] jacobgong:
That would work on a single core fixed frequency device with a LCD screen. But how does it work in say, the galaxy s3?. The OLED screen uses drastically diffrent amounts of power depending on what it's displaying, you can keep it on full brightness but display a black screen for a long time without drainning much power. What happens now? does android record and analyze the brightness of each subpixel on each frame?

also a process will take different amounts of power depending on the frequency of the CPU, and what core is it running on. modern socs have many different processing units, I don't think android records every single machine code and add ul their specific power consumption. Also the tegra 3 has a standby core which also uses different power even for the same machine code.
[General Questions and Answers] _MetalHead_:
I think it's meant more to give you just a general idea of how your power consumption is split up and not meant to be exact. It's not like you're using that information to find the higgs boson or anything.
[General Questions and Answers] xaccers:
It just needs to be loaded with "maps" of what things are likely to use as I said.

Even with multiple cores and varying frequencies it can just extrapolate the usage from the maps.

It's like with battery capacity, it doesn't "know" that there is 50% battery left, there's no way to tell how much capacity is actually left in a battery (don't ever do what an idiot I knew did and set your mutli meter to amps on a NiMH and try to test the current by shorting out the +tv and -tv).

Instead the phone is loaded with a map of voltage against probably remaining capacity.

Strange thing happens to my phone from time

to time. About 3 to 4 millimetres of the left side

of the screen stops reacting to touches. I don't

think it's a hardware problem because when I

switch on auto rotation and rotate my phone a

bottom side of the touchscreen becomes the

left side and it stops register touches as well.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1542115.

I remember many users reporting that they had problems unlocking their device - it took them up to 5 tries to unlock the phone. I've noticed that if I swipe the "dead" area multiple times quickly the touches get registered about once per 4-6 swipes. I guess it could be the same problem.

Anyhow This are of the touchscreen has been unresponsive for over 5 days now. I have formatted my system/data partitions and on a "clear" rom the area is alive again don't know for how long though. If the dead area moves with rotation of the phone and it's always the left side of the screen being affected whether that be the longer side or the shorter depending on the position of the phone then I guess It has to be software related problem. Am I right?

I could try to visit the service center but I don't feel like leaving the phone with them for the next weeks and also I, ve unlocked my bootloader via sony website so there is a chance that they won't even look at the phone.
