Sending Things to Brazil

I can't answer your question about unlocking, etc., but from reading your post, I'm guessing you don't know much about Brazilian Customs and rules.

I am certainly not an expert on those either, but I have sent things to various friends in Brazil many times, and there are some things I learned. Please understand that I do not intend any of this as definitive; I am simply sharing my experiences and what I think I know.

First, I was told by a friend who was running an import/export business in Brazil that importing used electronics into Brazil is illegal.

Next, if you want to send new electronics to Brazil, you need to follow the rules and fill out the customs forms properly, declaring the contents and value. Include the receipt as supporting evidence. Send by FedEx or UPS, and keep the tracking number. Customs will decide their own value of the item, which may be based on the price in Brazil, not the price you paid in the USA, and they will add the shipping costs as part of the total value. The recipient will be charged import duties and other taxes, which can be up to the total value.

Brazil has huge tariffs on electronics, cars, and other things, and along with the 2:1 exchange rate of the Brazilian real to the dollar, that is why things cost so much there. Your gift will be taxed, too.

Also, even if you do everything properly, the phone can be stolen -- oops, I mean confiscated -- by corrupt workers in Brazilian Customs. There are many. For example, I sent an 8 GB USB flash drive to a friend, which I bought for about $8 in the USA. She simply never got it. That was my lesson to ALWAYS get the tracking number, no matter how small the item. I'm assuming that it was taken by a Customs official, but if you write iPhone on the Customs form, anyone along the delivery route can see that. So who knows?

By now you probably decided against your idea. If you want to give her the phone, get a plane ticket and fly there to see her, and leave your phone behind. :angel: Brazilians typically are allowed to re-enter Brazil bringing *one* new laptop, iPod or such. I am not sure whether that is by law, or just Customs policy or typical behavior.

I've looked and googled this for a month not to have to post it but apparently kids these days don't know the diff between a soft wuss brick and a hard brick. I sold a buddy a perfect condition t989 rooted and unlocked and 2 days later this Nimrod comes over to use my pc to download a ROM, what does he do, he flashes a i9100 dual boot kernel lol long story short without messin with it i offer him a hundred bucks, figured i just sold it for 350 why not, well this thing is a paper weight. Nothing no dl mode no recovery Odin don't register jack, battery does not charge nothing. I jigged it already nodda, so i ordered an external charger hoping the battery is just dead and it'll go into dl so i can let Odin work its magic. Anyone ever recover from this state or got any pointers? I've had a t989 forever and have flashed them countless times so I'm capable to try whatever u got cuz this d710 sucks.i don't care what anyone says about the processor, on gb it was great but on ics this sprint variant blows compared to herc. Am i just gonna have to jtag this thing or was it waste and a $100 lesson? Thanks

I would say jtag. Unless the battery is dead. "Crosses fingers" but I've never seen jtag fail. I've seen prices for that service anywhere between 50 and 100 :\ unless you know someone who has one
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Beefvvl:
If the phone doesn't have any cosmetic damage or water damage. I think $100 is worth buying a bricked phone. JTAGing it is about $80. So $180 for a working phone is not bad at all. Then if you want to turn and sell it for profit.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] theUsualSuspexx:
Well the 2nd external charger ive ordered finally came in,battery was dead but still nothing, thinking jtag may be in order unless i get a nice local offer lol but I'm with u guys, even if after shipping etc if i can get jtag for 100 the phones about perfect so itll be worth it. 200 bucks for an unlocked t989 ain't bad, water detectors are perfect, still had the blue plastic covering the Sim and sd areas, screens perf, one little scratch on the side from taking cases on and off, but i can live with that, plus don't let anyone tell u different, the exynos processor ain't all that. On gb it scrolled a Lil smoother, on ics it's slow and freezers, much prefer hercules to the epic 4g touch

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitjag:
I Searched forum but did not find anyone to post this. If this is double post I excuse myself in advance but...

As you know when you insall certificate you have to use more secure way to unlock screen (Pettern, Password, PIN) and you can't use by default less secure unlock which is also swipe which I want to use even if I have certificate installed.

By the way I installed certificate for bank access.

Ok so yesterday I played with pattern to unlock my screen and I tried what if I use more than 5 wrong patterns.

As you probably all know if you unlock it five times or more you have to lock or you have possibility to unlock it with PIN which you had to type when you set pattern:

and when you try five wrong pattern you have possibility to use pin to unlock:

after you click on click on forgotten pattern you can unlock it with pin:

and voila you have swipe to unlock screen even if you have installed certificate.

Access with certificate will work until restart of phone, after that you have to insert pin for certificate store to work again or repeat steps.

Does anybody has better solution?

But probably this is a bug :D

While utterly unfair to compare, I'm still not thrilled with the camera. All the reviews say it is at least as good as the iPhone 4S which may be the case but I wish you could go manual like on my DSLR. I don't understand why they don't allow this. It would add so much control and value. You don't lose anything as most people could just keep it on auto. Do any phone cameras allow this? I suppose it's just software. Are there apps or ROMs that give manual control?

What I do love is how quickly you can take pictures in succession. You have to wait ages on my old Evo. I still use the One X camera but you have to be conscious of your environment to give the auto settings the best chance in certain scenarios.

I've had a strangely smooth and good experience on Franco's kernel on cm9 with the conservative governor on the stock frequencies. Scrolling seems less jittery and the battery is excellent. It must priorities the threads differently than other governors.

If anyone previously put in other information in the fields it may not let you change things around. In this case, I suggest just making a new APN. Problem solved.

I found that ST blocked that SpeedTest's IP when using their supplied APN credentials.I also found these settings do not allow MMS but doubled my speed.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gadget069:
Speedtest does work, just not with some versions of ics. I also found that my speeds were considerably higher inn larger cities. I don't think the area I live in is provisioned very well, plus not the best signal. Full bars where I live I'm lucky to get 1mb down, I was in Madison,WI I was getting 6mb down. My area sucks I guess.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordxcom:
I've been using the i9300 on StraighTalk for the past two months, no problems, love it, great HSPA+ speeds, coverage rocks.. runs off of AT&T towers . When setting up the APN settings, remove the proxy values.. this way you can use any of the Ad blocking scripts.

$45 a month and rockin it. It's a 2Gb cap per month, never ran into the issue of that yet, when im at the house or in office, i just use the WiFi anyways, faster.

For APN, I use the AT&T recommended settings:

APN	att.mvno

PROXY	none

PORT	none

MMSC	http://mmsc.cingular.com

MMS PROXY	66.209.11.33

MMS PORT	80

[Atrix 4G General] MXIIA:
I'm running CM 7.2.0 with faux's 1GHz 0.2.4 kernel underclocked to 912 MHz (though I've had this with all CM roms and kernels) and after more than a minute of screen time my Atrix's CPU tends to exceed 50 degrees Celsius while the battery gets to around 40 degrees Celsius (this is recorded using setCPU). This happens most with apps like BaconReader or Facebook but has happened with others too.

I refuse to play games on my phone because it seems to nearly overheat while I'm playing any game.

When the phone starts to get hot, the battery drains faster (like 1% every 2-3 minutes).

Is there something I can do to fix this, or is this a common problem that I shouldn't mind?

Has anyone else experienced similar temperature issues?
