[General Questions and Answers] gibell:
I went from a UK Desire Z to an unlocked Samsung Captivate Glide from the US and can confirm that it works over here. I bought an unlocked version and put my Vodafone SIM in with almost no problems. My SIM was a few years old and when I went to make a call it would cut off after about 3 seconds but all I needed was a new SIM from Voda which came in a couple of days. The only real problem that I found was that the phone will try to find US satellites for GPS instead of the European ones and it won't be able to establish a lock, the only way I found to resolve this was to root the phone and edit the satellite config file so that it looked for the correct ones (still takes ages to get a lock but will now work). Other than that, I haven't really had any other problems getting it to work. Message me if you have any specific questions and I will be happy to advise if I can.

I had never rooted a phone before and just used Google as my friend and it was all pretty quick and easy.

Oh, I kind of need GPS, I'm hopeless at getting around. I wouldn't want to risk messing around with the insides of the thing either. Also if GPS takes ages wouldn't apps that require your location all take ages too? Guess it's back to the picking a phone stage after all. Anyone have any suggestions other than Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro?

EDIT: also can anyone confirm for certain whether the Xperia Pro has/will get ICS/Jelly Bean? All I'm finding in google is the exact same speculation in a million different blogs from months ago.
[General Questions and Answers] Allanitomwesh:
Has ics,speculation is on jelly bean.
[General Questions and Answers] Forunikarasu:
So apparently the only viable non-BlackBerry QWERTY phone that won't become a brick if I use it in the UK is the Xperia Pro, which has aids. Upgrade to ICS and enjoy your AZERTY keyboard. Anyone know if this has been fixed yet, as in, fixed by Sony, without having to understand the inner workings of Android and fixing it yourself?

[General Questions and Answers] Forunikarasu:
I actually loved the look of that, and would definitely have gone for it, because most of my smartphone use is social stuff (IMing, etc) but it isn't ICS compatible and I read that a lot of apps won't function properly due to the landscape screen.
[General Questions and Answers] Allanitomwesh:
You're gonna have to take a chance with this one,but it seems installing the update using pc companion(downloaded from softpedia) is your safest bet.
[General Questions and Answers] Forunikarasu:
I went with the Captivate Glide. Arrived this morning, been good so far, bought it pre-unlocked, and just familiarising myself with Android now before I do anything advanced. Also, Google Maps and the Weather app seem to know exactly where I am with no messing around with with the innards, so I'm glad I went for it. Thanks for all the advice, everyone!
[General Questions and Answers] ChrisBirkett:
Sorry to resurrect such an old thread with my first post to this forum :)

Forunikarasu, I was just wondering if you could post an update on how you got on please? I'm also very interested in the Captivate Glide to replace my Desire Z (we qwerty users sadly don't have a lot of choice!) - it looks like a brilliant and very affordable model. I'm very close to buying an unlocked model from eBay but would love to hear if you have any more feedback and/or tips first. Did you need to make that change to get a satellite lock? Was the unlocked model you got branded in any way, and did you have any problems putting android 4 on it? Any regrets?

Many TIA!

Also FWIW - 100% with you on being physically unable to use touchscreens - it's not just the iPhone!

So I have my SIII and I have yet to root it. Waiting for all the bugs to be ironed out and until I get sick of TW.

Anyways so I want to block ads that come with certain apps. I could do this with a rooted phone no problem. Is there an app out there that would work with the S3? Block ads from apps like Angry Birds (Free), words with friends and so on? I know its only $1 per app but I am cheap so yeah!

Thanks for any help! I did Google it and I couldn't find much.

I flashed that ROM for 4 of my co-workers also & they all absolutely LOVE the setup.

[Nokia Lumia 800] scudelari:
Hello Everyone,

I downgraded the bootloader to Qualcomm and successfully installed the rainbow mod, which claims to be carrier unlocked, but my SIM still doesn't work in the stupid phone.

In config->about it shows that the carrier is CV GB SW ID313 v02 and I read on some post here that this is UK unlocked or something.

If I install some rom will this work? Is it possible to hack something using my beloved Linux?

Why doesn't it work with the brazilian SIM? It doesn't ask me anymore for the carrier unlock code, but it first asked for the PIN then for the PUK, of the SIM. I am sure these are correct, since I confirmed with my carrier.

The original carrier is TELCEL, from Mexico, and I already checked in the websites that give the code to unlock, but they don't have this carrier in their list.

Should I throw the phone throught the window?

Thanks a LOT!

No way to fix this mess ???
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BodMasta:
Have searched for an answer but not sure how I should fix this particular issue.

Currently using Odin Root, Omega v9.1, Phenomenal with Apex Launcher. (2nd ever time rooting, last was HTC Desire, Gold Card/abdshell etc)

Was gong along brilliantly until I seen a better (or what I thought was better) ROM within Omega.

Somehow I mistakenly thought I had missed a few versions as I seen this ICS Blue/Black v15 ROM, and automatically downloaded. (Don't ask was a real "n00b-ish thing to do, hadn't checked the version in a while)

Anyway... I then flashed the v15 ROM for SGSII. (Again no need for the comments as I know how much of stupid so and so I already feel like haha)

As soon as I realised, flashed Omega v9.1 and thought that would fix it.. unfortunately it didn't.

Tried to restore from Recovery Mode but still no luck.

Even tried re-flashing the Odin Root etc.

Finally believed the only choice I had was to wipe/factory reset. (Titanium Back-up will restore if needed)

Still after each re-boot I am left in the "SAMSUNG" logo.

Anyone that has any suggestions would be much appreciated (:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mopral:

This can't possibly be "Bricked" right? It wouldn't allow me into Download Mode/Recover Mode if so correct? (Blank Screen, no response = Brick)

Have you made the factory reset after you flash firmware with odin?

---------- Post added at 05:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:33 PM ----------

Not totally true...

There is ONE case where you can still go to Download and recovery AND be bricked: it is if your Nand is rw corrupt
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the2rrell:
Yes im hoping/assumed that you have been letting the phone sit after the odin flash on first Boot.....it could take a while. even after boot got into recovery and wipe/factory reset. there have been a couple that i thought were stuck and after 6-7 minutes i was about to pull the batt and boom it booted up just in time.

so if you have not i would agree with the guy above....let it sit for a while after your odin flash man.

Edit and yes you are right about the corrupt nand, hope its not that though....lol
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BodMasta:
I have been trying since 2pm, left it standing far longer than 10mins. (Both with Odin v9.1 and Stock Firmware (T-Mobile, UK)

Nothing I do seems to be able to get passed the logo screen though.

Hoping so too! lol, my fault though so I can take it if needed :p
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the2rrell:
What about what was mentioned above.....after letting it sit, getting into recovery and factory resetting it. No Luck?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BodMasta:
Yup, used Odin to CF-Root, flashed Omega and let it sit over 10+ mins, factory reset and still not getting past that Logo screen :/
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mopral:
Are you sure of that?

As far as I know, latest odin version for S3 is v3.07...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BodMasta:
Typo, meant Omega v9.1 (: (Needed to wait 5mins before being able to edit, then forgot to do so)

Have only used Odin for CF-Root/Firmware, all else has been through CWM Recovery.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mopral:
So correct me if I am wrong:

-stock firmware with odin work

-cwm with odin work

-omega 9.1 with cwm stuck on samsung logo
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BodMasta:
No unfortunately if that was the case I would have to look for a new Mod. (I'd be gutted but still have a working device)

In my case;

-Stock Firmware (Through Odin) - Not passing Logo

-CF-Root (Through Odin) - Not passing Logo

-Omega 9.1 with CWM - Not passing Logo.

At this present time all attempts to get past the Logo Screen (no matter what firmware/rom etc) have failed :/
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the2rrell:
your doing the factory reset after the STOCK odin package right?? and not after the omega?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mopral:
And be carefull: S3 stock roms are a bit tricky as they do not reset your phone and let you do it

If not already tried:

-flash stock firmware with odin

-restart in stock recovery

-factory reset

-restart your phone
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BodMasta:
Correct, will try this method one more time. (After a re-charge)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BodMasta:
Downloaded another Stock Rom, and follwed your instructions above.

And... its now working again!!! Finally! (5 Hours later lol)

Thanks again for any help given (and being patient with me), will make sure to read what I'm flashing next time.. and not doing it half asleep/awake haha :p
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zodiaxe66:
Glad u recovered your phone.

A little trick besides factory reset if the phone doesn't boot is to pull out battery for 20min. this "wipes" internal memory(cache & blabla) then try and boot. Also before flashing with Odin, turn phone off, pull battery out, put in and use 3 button combo to download mode.

Always read the OP and last 3 pages to see if there is any bugs, i still do after flashing for 2 years.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BodMasta:
Thanks for the tips will be sure to remember them when flashing (:

Next time will most likely be JB functional version, but only reason this happened in first place was not realising it was for S2 until too late lol. (Never again)

[Nexus S General] Oogway13:
For what I know, you cannot port from different densities. But, there is a build.prop option:

ro.sf.lcd_density=

You can try setting this value to the one you want.

For the CM7, MIUI question, I would start with CM7 since MIUI ports require some other dependencies.

Yes, you can add it (make sure you backup the original one).

But, be aware that, for optimal conditions, both devices must be HDPI/MDPI or else you must resize everything.
