[Samsung Captivate Glide] Dante1990:
hello everyone !!!

i am new here but have always been a huge admirer of XDA and their awesome work !! which is why i thought it would be best to state my problem here !!

I have a captivate glide on at&t bought online .i knw there are numerous post about unlocking etc but i have some different kind of problem..

the thing is that i am having a problem during sim unlocking my phone(i knw it seems like many other posts on this forum but please read). i am 100% sure i have rooted my device thanks to XDA . i mistakenly lost my efs folder imp files (.nv_core.bak, .nv_core.bak.md5, .nv_data.bak, .nv_data.bak.md5 nv_data.bin nv_data.bin.md5 only) while unlocking my device..

Athough i had a back up bt it resulted in only the backup of nv_data.bin and nv_data.bin.md5 somehow...as a result my phone got a generic imei but when i restore these two nv_data.bin and nv_data.bin.md5 files from my backup my phone restores its imei but now when i use samsung galaxy s unlock tool or any other sim unlock method (some methods dont work on my phone) it unlocks my network lock bt results in generic imei again .so i am not able to use my service provider sim !!

After this when i again restore my backup files(nv_data.bin and nv_data.bin.md5) the imei is restored also the network lock !! after that if i again try to use sim unlock methods working on my phone it again gives me generic imei forcing me to restore my 2 backup files(nv_data.bin and nv_data.bin.md5). i am having a problem with this and dont have any solution except asking the experts of XDA !!

So my eventual question is

1. how to fix this loop with my service provider sim working ( which requires original imei)

Thanks !!
[Samsung Captivate Glide] VinayS:
Buy an unlock code..

Above method always gives you generic imei, which our indian networks are not accepting..
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Dante1990:
thanks for the speedy reply !!!

i see , can u please suggest me any reliable and cost effective service for unlock code ????
[Samsung Captivate Glide] dudejb:
I used Ebay 5$. I believe it was the seller, American unlockers.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] VinayS:
I had bought unlcok code from eBay seller - American_unlcoker for 23 odd $.

Now i see in ebay lot of sellers offering for around 5$..
[Samsung Captivate Glide] dudejb:
Competition brings the price of everything down, even unlock codes.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Dante1990:
Thanks a lot man !! i bought the unlock code from american_unlocker for 5 dollars and he sent the unlock code in just unuder 30 min !!

Just Awesome !!
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Dante1990:
Thanks to XDA and all the people who replied , helped me a great deal !!

Appreciated..

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kerempek:
When i install a custom rom, i expect that it includes all the features of Stock rom and has additional features.

But i realized that some of the key features of stock rom are not included in custom roms.

For example Stock Camera App has a lot of cool features like "Face Detection" and "Video Stabilize". But most of the roms has Camera ICS and it has not these features(in pro version it says it has video stabilize but i couldn't see it).

Also Stock Phone application is perfect for me because it has an opiton like slide right and left for messaging and phone calling. But in custom rom you need more steps to call or message.

So my first question is...

Is there any custom rom that has ability to use stock camera application and stock phone application ? Also i wonders is this possible or not ?(or any other stock application)

My second question is about an Iphone feature:).We are sure that our sgs2 has a lot more features then iphone. But when i use iphone(yes i have one sorry for this) i see that contacts and messaging applications open fast as lightning. Probably the phone and messaging applications are always in memory on iphone even at startup!.

On SGS2 when i open conctacs application, even if i press home button after a while (after one hour) when i edit contacts it waits about 2-5 seconds to open it.(i have more than 1000 contacts)

Is there a way to keep contacts app and messaging app always in memory ?(or it may be any other application too)

Thanks

I think that WanamLite would be great for your taste as it's based on stock Samsung ICS Firmware.

If you can live without that Sammy's phone app, then maybe you should try MIUI or it's derivates( WIUI, RGUI, cMIUI). It has stock camera app. And the rom itself is beautiful, fast and stable. :)

I rooted my SG3 and installed Titanium, but it would not recognize the folder on the sd card where all my old apps are at. With some help, this was fixed. Take a look down in post #4 and it will fix it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] burkett375:
It probably looks at the internal SD Card first, try directing it to the external SD Card.

You need to go into preferences and change your backup folder location. Set it to scan the whole device and choose the location where your backups are restored. Profit.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] psalm462:
Thank you! That was it.

Sorry for posting here, but the way this forum is set up in XDA with all these sub-forums, i figured this was only relevant to Verizon rooters.

Thanks again.

Don't think that I have seen anybody post about vaja cases for the Galaxy S3. Be warned, these are priced at a premium, but IMHO, are worth the $. Always have had perfect fit, and the leather is as good as it gets. Plus you get to pick and choose your colors.

The have a basic back shell, a flip case and a pouch right now...I would suspect that we'll see more soon.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Zorigo:
I've been looking around for a while now but can't find what i'm looking for so here's a thread asking if someone can help me out.

I'm running an odexed JVU rom, and i'm looking for an AOKP style lockscreen.

One where you can either unlock your phone, or go straight to selected apps.

Kinda like this

I'm aware i could change to another rom which supports this, but i don't plan on changing my rom just yet.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TheWeeknd:
go to google play and search go locker

but before installing this Make sure GO Launcher EX V2.58 or above has been installed, u can find it also on google play for free
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Zorigo:
I'm aware of Go Locker and WidgetLocker and other similar apps but i don't really want to install them, (too much battery or ram usage and i'm more than happy with ADW)

I was hoping if anyone new any mods i could flash through CWM
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nash2000:
I've noticed my battery has been depleting quickly lately but this morning it went from 100% to 15% in a matter of 1.5 hours which included near zero using besides about 20 minutes of music listening. I'm running the hybrid rom...maybe its time for a new from???
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
I'd say battery over rom. I get about 7 hours of use like you described with a new battery.

I got mine from amazon and there are reviews in the accessories forum.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Ph0n3D0rk:
Definitely not a rom related issue from what I have experienced.

I used to get about 16 hours of use on The Hybrid.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] studacris:
Call AT&T warranty department. tell them about that huge drain, maybe even ham it up a bit, They should send your a free battery replacement.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nash2000:
Been down that road once before with my infuse, att tells me my replacement battery is on its way...never got the battery but I sold the phone a few weeks after that anyway. My battery seems ok since I put a charge to it (again) ill see how it is tomorrow
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] erick161:
Maybe a rogue app? Try downloading GSam battery monitor (used to be called bad ass battery monitor) and see if you have a program using a lot of power. Try also wiping battery stats and/or recalibrating the battery. Excessive flashing sometimes neccessitates one or both.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] anuraagkochar:
I am on paranoidandroid rom using tablet ui and dpi in everything and i am using apex launcher with tablet ui and tablet dpi... But when i install any theme like dark ice cobalt touch0 color vivid, the system ui and android system stops responding .. And i have to factory reset.. Why ?? Are the themes of cm9 not supported in paranoidandroid rom or do these themes dont work on tablet mode . I want to use tablet mode and install the theme.. Is there any way ??
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] preshit10:
Since SystemUI has stopped working it probably means that the theme is not supported.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] anuraagkochar:
these themes worked perfectly in cm9 and aokp but not in paranoid android
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] preshit10:
It should work on paranoid android as well since its based on cm9. The only thing I feel is wrong is that you are using tablet ui and the theme is not for tablet ui.

It is apparent that verizon S3 enthusiasts will never be able to take an OTA, how do we disable them completely so there are no accidents?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] freakboy13:
Do you guys have root yet? Titanium backup> freeze everything Verizon (including kies) related. Especially the one that says "update". ;)

Of course in ics you can disable a lot of bloatware w/o root. Go to apps long press on app of choice hit disable.

Make sure to hIt "stop" process first.

Freezing via TiBu is best .
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] burpootus:
Root has been achieved but is probably 100% guaranteed to be broken by an OTA. Any enthusiast will depend solely on the dev community for updates for the life of the phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] juntistik:
So, I have been hearing that a SGS3 OTA is on the way, and has begun rolling out on Sprint. I will be getting my vzw sgs3 tonight, should I be wary of installing this OTA? Do you think they already fixed the exploit even after less than 24 hours?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] burpootus:
I would err on the side of caution and not take any OTA's unless the devs approve. At the minimum right now we have root. Verizon OTA's on encrypted devices are notorious for breaking existing exploits. All OTA's will be repackaged by the devs into something we can use, so you gain nothing by taking an OTA. Fact of life with an encrypted device.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] burpootus:

I'm sure there are people that can and are working on kernels be patient. It takes alot of work and no one gets paid to make custom roms/kernels. So whenever they get released is when we will have them.

Been having a few problems with redraws and then my internet wouldn't open at all even after reset,it was like it had vanished,then i was getting loads of freezes and you couldn't open phone as swipe wasn't working

So received my new phone from O2 but it has a different firmware than my old one

My old one had

Base Firmware: I9300XXALE8 (4.0.4)

Region Europe

Country: United Kingdom

My new one has

Base Firmware: I9300XXALEF (4.0.4)

Region Asia

Country: Sri Lanka

Any reason why i have a asia variant phone ?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
You need to ask O2 that question as its not normal .

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigmac161:
Does it make any difference what region firmware is on phone ?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
No as long as you dont mind not getting UK updates and can cope with the language and the modem actually works in the UK .

Me i would return as not fit for purpose .

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emmulator:
I had been on AOKP for a while until I started having trouble with my WiFi Hotspot going down as soon as I turned it on. So I tried Nostalgia 6 and love it! The styling is awesome. However, when I upgraded to Nostalgia 6.2, the WiFi Hotspot problem returned. As soon as I turn on the Hotspot, it shuts itself down again.

The radio/modem(?) that came with 6 didn't work for me at all, so with that build I had switched to UGKC1. I'm currently using the radio/modem that came with 6.2. Does the radio/modem affect the Hotspot? Should I try switching?

Also, small niggle: I did like the old 'busy' animation (two swirly dots) better than the new one - which also sometimes appears to be going backwards (i.e. the darkest spot is right behind the brightest, instead of right in front of it.) Is there any way to switch back to the old busy animation?

On the plus side, the new Serendipity Kernel really does seem snappier. :)

Thanks for a great ROM!

I'm having some troubles with Kies, and need help fixing it. I am trying to upgrade my S II to ICS through Kies, and am having no success. I eventually managed to get Kies to actually recognise my phone, but my problems didn't stop there.

Basically, it downloads the components and prepares okay, but when it comes to downloading the actual files, it reaches somewhere between 4 and 16 per cent completion before telling me "Failed to upgrade firmware - Error found in the downloaded file.Do you want to try downloading again?"

I have tried and tried and tried, but am clueless as to the cause. Google-Fu has returned some answers, none of which have worked.

Thank you for your time :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] indusara:
I have the same problem... not found a solution yet.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Honestly ? If you want to save yourself grief & hours of fruitless searching/trying stuff out that doesn't work, flash the stock rom manually. These are usually available in Odin flashable form shortly after carriers push them to customers.

Obviously you run a very small risk of borking your phone with any flash, but as long as you follow instructions to the letter, you should be fine.

How/where to find them ?

Search the site starting with the Stickies (Samfirmware & AndroidFirmwares.net are good sources for stock roms; and there are others). I'm not about to regurgitate how to flash a stock rom via Odin when it's been posted here thousands of times before, plus reading the stickies is a good idea because they contain the 'basics' you really should know before you do anything to your phone.

Ultimately, you have to decide whether you want to do it the easy way & flash the rom via Odin but take on the risks associated with that, or whether you want to keep searching for another way to get Kies to do what you want.

I'm not going to advise you one way or the other, your decision entirely.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] rpc180:
Long story short - get a screen guard.

3 days and definitely babying it I noticed a super-small (1-2mm), less than hairline width scratch in the top right corner. The area is usually dark within the area of the status bar and menu bars for applications but when those have been hidden the slight distortion is evident. Though, even on a white background (ie. web browsing) at 100% brightness its barely noticable.

But its still annoying as %&@^!

I decided to put on the Verizon screen guards as those were the first ones available locally. They're not bad for a bargain grab $12 for 3 - full screen protector with proper cutouts. They also feel and look very similiar to the Seidio branded one I used on my original DInc. It'll probably pick up scratches faster, but its better than the screen getting a new nick in a more irritating location.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] blazingwolf:
I always put on a screen protector just for that reason. I got a Zagg on the same day I got the phone. You might have to look around for them but they are there.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] MJL99:
how comparable is the screen compared to the incredible 2? i can find cheap zagg-like covers on ebay but wasnt sure if they would match up.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] polarimetric:
I bought the Verizon screen protectors on the day I bought it as well and I was very pleasantly surprised with the quality of the protector. I've seen Verizon screen protectors that make ridiculous screen noise and make it impossible to swipe your finger across the screen, but I am very pleased with these protectors. Unfortunately my case hasn't come yet, so I am still on high alert...
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] andybones:
I used the inc2 for a while without scratch, very cautious not to put in same pocket as key and whatnot, I wasn't going to use a screen protector as I never do, but I talked my dad into trading two old icraps so he could get the inc4g adn become and Android lover.

he made me put one on, I'm sure I'll be thanking him later lol.

the quality actually is surprising decent, the cutouts are nice, and can't even tell it's there, (and this is coming form someone who does not like using them)

only gripe is, idk if its the phone sensor or the protector as i never had the phone without the screen protector on,

I noticed when on a call and going to grab the pull down notification down the sensor turn off the screen, it's actually quite annoying.

the inc2 there was like just one sensor u could know were it was and put ur finger in front of, but on this phone it seems the entire top is the sensor lol
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] rpc180:
I think that might be a Sense launcher setting, not sure if it can be changed. I've already switched to Apex as a launcher and it seems to let me swipe "anywhere" on the homescreen to bring down the notifications.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] *Madmoose*:
I've had this problem on many phones. I always put the screen protector as far up on the screen as I can without making it look funky. But the edge of that protector kinda screws with the touch sensor and makes the pulldown act weird at times.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] andybones:
I also just realized that the sensor is now on the right side, it was on the left on inc2, helps a bit, but still funky with pull down.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] blazingwolf:
That's the nice thing about Zagg Invisible shield. It has cutouts for the sensor and the camera so it doesn't block but still covers the rest of the screen up to the top.

Also can someone help me out to make a full backup of fone without root privileges.... i.e. how to extract boot.img/system.img etc...
