[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HHF2:
Hey dude, you put up one hell of a fight! I personally don't have the time or money or I would have loved to get in on this from the beginning. With that said, even the greatest fighters of all time knew when to throw in the towel.

I can see why Verizon world want to keep their phones locked down just from reading where idiots will even flash the wrong Rom without reading thinking that they are a "hacker" lol. I do agree with you on the points that you made and appreciate all you tried to do. I further think that because of people like you, we got the leak that unlocked the bootloader to quiet it down. Take a little bit of pleasure in knowing that you did help get what you wanted in the end, just not the way that you wanted it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ngocdao:
Hate to be a **** but that is why competition exists. If a free bootloader carried that much weight in your purchase decison, then other carriers should have had the absolute advantage in your decision.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ct_tec313:
Damn!!who side you on.. you sound like you work for Verizon and for record you probably like being ****.....****
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ngocdao:
Im on the logical side. The side that tells me if i knew if a restaurant didnt serve my favorite dish i dont go eat there demanding they still make it for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] k0admunk33:
One of the reasons locked bootloaders don't have more of a negative impact on Verizon sales is that in most parts of the country, none of the other national carriers even comes close to them on network coverage. That's the main reason I'm still with them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] geech72:
Great argument unless you only have 4 restaurants to choose from, they all collude together to set their menus, and you have to pay your primary restaurant $350 every time you choose to dine at the competition. Phone companies are regulated monopolies, and this company is in violation of the rules put forth by the organization that is charged with overseeing their actions. If they are allowed to act with impunity it's only a matter of time before a $30 hot dog is the only menu item available at any restaurant.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sams27:
Your argument carries no weight in your logic. Especially that there are only a handful of "other restaurants" to choose from. Not only that, put they price there menu higher and higher based on how far the other restaurant down the street can price there own. Competition is heathy, yes. But this is is getting out of hand.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ngocdao:
I dont understand how the amount of carriers really apply against my argument here.

The problem at hand: locked bootloader

The alternative who does not have locked bootloaders: att, tmo, sprint

Att/Sprint: currently has LTE

Both are relatively equal/less in pricing

So if a locked bootloader is so important to you that you are willing to sacrifice all your time/effort/opp. cost.. wouldnt going with another carrier more logical?

I know the situation sucks but just sayin,

hopping in the pit knowing it leads to hell

Did you not have a choice to eat at the other restaurant WITHOUT paying the $350 since you upgraded? If not, a declining etf/nothing at all if you had waited a few months?

Did you not agree to this fee at the moment of signing the contract?

there would be no fee if we all just paid the MSRP, but we all want discounts on the phone too.

Dang, collusion doesnt really apply here since we arent exactly talking about prices, but our inabilities to remain in a binding contract, or read them. Nor does one company having a locked bootloader vs 3 not having it sounds like collusion is any revelant at all.

we don't see things as they are; we see things as we are.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JB_orchidguy:
The thing is, to my understanding it is against fcc rules to lock the bootloader in the first place.

I would gladly go too another carrier if their signal was worth a lick at my house. Every other carrier drops when coming into my house. Verizon is the only logical choice here. Verizon should play by the rules.

The bottom line is these devices are our own equipment. We should be allowed to use them as we see fit. If I want too play hockey with my phone Verizon shouldn't have a say so.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ngocdao:
Is there a link you could provide me that has the details regarding the fcc violation?

I am sure there is a reason for the locked bootloader... im guessing the mass amounts of bricked devices flowing through their warranty/repair centers .. and i know its our equipment, but im just taking a wild guess here that not exactly everything we end up doing with our flashable device is exactly legal and probably negatively impacts verizon financially..

Hey, whats more important you? Open bootloader or reception at home? You can't have it all :) relax, its just a phone, without one or the other is an insignificant factor to your quality of life, when you put it in perspective ;)

we don't see things as they are; we see things as we are.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sams27:
I understand what you are trying to say, but it's not about the locked bootloader anymore. Its about how Verizon is allowed to treat their customers. I'm not going to go into detail on what their doing wrong, this forum can speak for itself and granted, I can just go to any other carrier if i don't like verizon's service. I can hardly care less about luxury of a cell phone, but what i don't like is how you can say to someone, "hate to be a ****" then be a ****...let the guy just say what he has to say. don't reply to his comment so ignorantly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] geech72:
we don't see things as they are; we see things as we are.[/QUOTE]

All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing - sorry I thought this was the portion of the evening where we spouted quotes that were irrelevant to the discussion.

What I see is a company that has a long history of anti-competitive aactions that are detrimental to consumers. Verizon doesn't care about warranty claims, they're trying to control content. If the handset is locked down I can't get rid of revenue generating apps like vz navigator, the ringtone store, etc. What they are doing is called bundling, it's one of the activitlies that led to the creation of the FTC and the passage of the Sherman and Clayton acts.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ngocdao:
What is ignorant is the resistance to other ideas, al beit they dont exactly align with yours. Or calling someone illogical without a logical rebuttal, and makes use of ad hominem to discredit me.

Is this not a discussion board? Or was there a waiver to dismiss one's own thoughts that i forgot to sign at the door?

I dont see how my initial post could be of any offense; it was not rhetorical or sarcastic. Just questions i hope to get answers for so i can understand your perspective.

I live in Hawai'i where only VZW has LTE and i have NO other equivalent substitute, yeah ok i wish i didnt have a locked bootloader so i dont have to hop thru hoops to flash roms, or such a fat bill every month, but hey, i knew what i was getting into, and havent lossed any sleep over it. I knew the cons before i hopped ship. And we all had 14 days to ditch. Just curious why someone would run into the fire like that and self inflict problems upon themselves.

If everyone here who felt so strongly about actual "evil" and inequality in this world as much as they do about locked bootloaders then dang, we'd have one helluva better world.

we don't see things as they are; we see things as we are.

---------- Post added at 03:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:11 PM ----------

Ive disabled my vz navigator since day01. Other apps you can simply hide. Theyre only a few mb each.

You dont need a free bootloader to get rid of them. Just Root + file explorer if those few mb are that precious to you.

All that is neccessary for evil corporations to triumph is for dumb people to keep giving them business.

And that isnt a post-specific quote, that's my signature, genius. Now that you mentioned it, it's quite relevant to the nature of this debate. :)

we don't see things as they are; we see things as we are.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JB_orchidguy:
Honestly I got the info here regarding section c. Read the letter from the lawyer too. My bootloader is already unlocked. About to flash later. The point if the mater is they are selling the device once I buy its mine. Same thing apple ran into with iPhone. Something regarding jailbreaking not being able to void the warranty or something. Not sure the full details. You wouldn't buy a computer you couldn't upgrade the os on would you? The thing is these computers are provider specific. And I wanted the iPhone killer (galaxy s3).

In CM7, when we tick 'Data Enabled', then phone does not connect to data, neither '3G' or 'H' or 'E'. It never connects for hours.

Even after reboot, there is 99 % guarantee that data won't be enabled.

Please some expert make something to solve this problem.

:good:All CM7 users, please comment continuously, only then this thread will come to the notice of developer, or anybody who can solve this problem.:good:

I also use mebitek CM7.

But my point is from the day I flashed my very first CM7 ROM, the problem started. Before my first CM7 ROM, I was having Stock based Emanon ROM, and there was not any problem.

I think CM7 ROM, changes something and because of it, the problem is persistent in any other ROM I flash.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] newdevo:
saying cm7 is pretty generic, which cm7 do you have? i also run cm7 and i have no such problem
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] #Darpan:
I also face this problem on my mebitek v1.2 many times but everything works fine after reboot..

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] munkyboy:
I'm having that same problem, after flashing with 7.2.0 my girlfriend's Galaxy Mini Data plan won't work, then I added the APN manually and didn't work either. Has somebody fixed this? Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] anshul sood:
I am also using the mebitek 7.1. I have encountered the problem once or twice, but it usually disappears after reboot. It usually occurs when I start and stop data frequently in a small amount of time.

If all roms have this problem, have you checked with some other mobile in the area? The problem might be on their end.

Also what is your base Rom? Some other users who installed on 2.3.4 base have experienced the same problem. So if you are on 2.3.4, first flash the latest firmware using odin and then try to install the rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] sushil888:
I experienced same problem in almost every rom itried, some times reboot helped but was annoying. Thenafter several tricks itried this. Went to titanium (free) , go to batch, click to clear cache from user apps,system apps, then wait .. I tell u. 9 out of 10 times it worked. Why? I don't know. This is just a harmless suggest .. though.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] xenv1:
Need reboot? Simply fly mode then disable :D
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] radnou974:
all CM7 rom can't detect automatically my apn configuration i must add manually? Just the Cyanmobile by squadzone can detect automatically my apn configuraiton.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] yagya:
Yup just like radnou947 said,

You'll need to configure a working APN on all custom roms you install...

For this go to Wireless and Networks >> Mobile Networks >> Access Point Names >> Pres menu and select New APN option and fill in the details (or settings ) provided by your network operator. YOu can even ask them to configure the setting for you and they'll do it happily. :)

Once done, save the settings and then check Enable Mobile Data option and enjoy. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] rijalassh:
reboot the phone or change the apn settings :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Apourv:
Other than Squadzone CM7

People say squadzone ROM RC 5.7 does not have any problem with APN, but its not a stable CM7, it has these bugs:

Music playback is NEVER smooth.

Status bar is VERY LAGGY.

Lots of FC

Any other CM7 which does not have APN data connect problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] coolsandie:
I've used Squadzone's and Mebitek's CM7, and I've not encountered this problem. My SIM card is Airtel, and already the APN settings was set by default as airtelgprs.com. I just needed to tick mark the Data Enable option.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] -NickHalden-:
Try changing APNs or even better flash some other ROM, like cm9 or AOKP.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] xenv1:
Is official CM7 smooth with music? No!
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] nikubonjasky:
I've used CM7.2.0 RC0 and RC1, and have no problem with data. Just with GPS(connect to the satelite/disconnect to the satelite), but the problem with the data connection I had on HoneyCream 4.0.2 and 4.0.3. I have changed the APN, but no result. I belive that is ROM's fault.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Apourv:
bcoz Official CM7 uses Squadzone kernel

You are right, official CM7 also has same problem, the reason is official CM7 uses Squadzone kernel.

Mebitek CM7 does not use squadzone kernel, it uses other kernel, so it has smooth music playback.:good:
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] xenv1:
+1

Howerver, the pure of Kittenlinux using squadzone kernel is very smooth with music and stable too!
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Apourv:
Which CM7

Now please tell me which CM7 does not have any problem with enabling mobile data, any CM7 except CM7 which uses Squadzone kernel:good:
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] :
Any CM7?

Is there any CM7 which does not have this problem???

Please give suggestion.

I had this phone on pre order since around the 25th of June, coming from a Galaxy Nexus to a phone from Samsung which I thought had a good history of not completely ruining their devices, and now hearing the news I have cancelled my order and will wait until this issue is bypassed/fixed.

You do realize that it most likely wasnt samsung's fault considering it was released globally and on all other US carriers unlocked.. So dont blame Samsung.. Blame your carrier.. Yes,the nexus is open but that's because it's a google device. I'm sure if Verizon could have locked that baby up they would have but I'm sure they had an agreement to keep it open if they were going to offer the device.

so you should change that to say because of "Verizons poor decisions"

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hattricked:
My phone has been going insane for the last two days. It will think that it is charging when it isn't plugged in. Sometimes it will cycle between not charging and charging at a rapid rate, causing the screen to turn on and stay on (the screen will normally turn on when plugged in). I've tried various resets, battery pulls, etc. This is not a rooted device. If I pull the battery and then reboot the phone, the battery will be 10-15% lower than when I pulled the battery only a minute earlier. Anyone experience this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Okaay:
This has been happening to a lot of people. It is indeed a hardware problem. There is a way to fix it, what u need to do it reposition the USB female receiving jack ever so slightly.

1) turn the phone off and take the battery out

2) take a toothpick, knife , pin or whatever will fit into the micro USB slot of the galaxy nexus.

3) VERY VERY slowly make it so that the little shelf like connector is in the middle.

4) connect ur phone and it will work like new. This works for a lot of people. I did this a few hours ago and my phone now charges perfect

RECOMENDATION : when it starts to charge you should restore a stock image and lock the boot loader so that you can get a new phone replaced . This is a way to fix it but this hardware issue shouldve never happened in the first place and it should warrant a return. Let me know what happens!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jubakuba:
Agreed.

However, I've detailed re-locking and returning to stock via my guide with a broken USB port if it ever gets to that point for you/anyone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Flugge:
I don't think "doing this a few hours ago" is really a long enough time to say it works perfectly. The same thing happened to my phone and I have seen several people claim this solution fixes the problem. I tried it and it fixed it for about two days but then it came back, and it won't go away now regardless of what I do with the charging port. I am starting to believe there is no solution but to buy a new phone

i had the same exact issue try wiping dalvik ,battery stats and cache under recovery, fixed all issued...i think this was caused after using the fast ac charge on francos kernal.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nelsmo:
i found a solution.

I had the same problem. at the the begining it didn´t charge. i made hard reset and nothing. i ordered a new battery and nothing. Then i see something different in tee microusb port when i compared it with an xperia x10 port. I realise that the tiny plate inside the port was bended. then with a needle i straighten it, and the charge bolt icon returns to life. But after that some times it comes up without charging conection. Then i found some blog post that said that the "Dock Connector Charging Port Flex Cable Ribbon For Samsung Galaxy Nexus i9250" was the problem. I found a guide to disassemble an change that micro usb port, it is really easy, i made in 30 minutes, even been the first time. I bought the replacement part in ebay (ebay.com/itm/-/130656140500?item=130656140500&viewitem=&ViewItem) but after that i found many web stores with it an cheaper prices.

I have used multiple batteries, same problem, I've used different chargers, same problem, I even bought that part off ebay and replaced the charge port inside of the phone, same problem.. and I even tried all of this before receiving the jelly bean update, and even after the update I still have the same charging error issue... does anyone know of any other solutions? I've done them all I think.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] elfarto:
I had a very similar issue (the phone would charge ONLY if turned off, computer would not recognize the USB device 90% of the time).

Turns off that fuzz and dandruff had accumulated at the bottom of the USB port (you couldn't see it) so i took a needle and carefully pried it out, it was a nice sized ball of stuff that was preventing the USB port from making clean contact with the cable.

Hope that helps
