[Nook Touch General] rlefranc:
I rooted my Nook Touch Glow Light about a month ago with GlowNooter using the instructions from this site and all went well. My real objective was to have Dropbox, file explorer and file manager installed so that I could access my personal library and have the ability to delete my sideloaded content when I was finished reading. All of that works fine.

I went into the settings of everything that I could think of like the Market, email, calendar, etc. and turned off automatic updating, alerts, etc. to preserve battery life and because now that I've got everything installed I really just want to leave it all alone. My issue is that I continue to get force close errors on the android calendar randomly. It's mildly annoying and I'd like to turn it off or even uninstall it completely since I don't use it, but aside from disabling updates and alerts I'm not sure what else to do. It doesn't show in my uninstall list. Anyone else run into this or have any ideas on how to stop it?
[Nook Touch General] bobstro:
You could freeze it using Titanium Backup or similar. On my NST, the Calendar app works, but displays a giant SD card image in the middle of the screen, which makes it painful to use. Based on recommendations here, I use Calendar Pad now. Unfortunately, I can only get it to display one calendar, but at least it works.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gingi999:
I didn't want to lose unlimited data because my kids are old enough to use tablets now and I wanted to have a hotspot in the car. Sprint does not work in my area. I called Verizon and told the rep I wanted 50 off the gs3 32gb.

Then I said I can walk into a store start a new line for 250 and then cancel the line the same day, pay 350 termination fee and be out 600 instead of 650. So please save me the trouble and just give me the 50 off.

I tried 4 times till I got it.

They don't have the ability to discount the phone but they can do a one time credit of 89.99 to your line. So after taxes and the 89.99 discount I paid 600 for the gs3 32 gb for vzw.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] taihard:
I didn't want to lose my unlimited data that I had for my original Dinc either so I added a line to our family plan and got the SGS3 (16gb) at Best Buy for $150 after they price matched wal mart. Then I swapped the SGS3 for an old basic phone (thus removing the data package) and then swapped the new SGS3 for my old Dinc and Voila, new SGS3 for $150 with unlimited data and my brother will just take over the new $10/month line when he moves back home in a couple months. Worked like a charm!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gentleart:
I did't want to lose my unlimited data either. I was ready to upgrade from my Incredible, but was irritated about the $30 upgrade fee. I called to get the fee waived, but was told that couldn't be done. Instead, I was given a free month of service, which for me is $89.99, plus my $50 ne2 discount. I got a 32 GB for less than $250.00. It's still a lot of money and I had to pay the ridiculous upgrade fee, but I am thrilled to have the SGSIII on an unlimited data plan!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] k0t0g:
Yeah. Usually when you call and complain they give you credit. However, if you work for a company that gets Verizon discounts you can usually just use your work email and get the activation fees waived
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] johnnilsson:
I preorderd the device. On my receipt when I got the phone it said if I cancel within 2 years i could face a etf of up to 175.00. Did anyone else notice?.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rerouted:
Loving my unlimited data plan as wells. I just want to know if I tether a tablet or PC to my GS3 and really start burning some GB over 4G will Verizon see I am tethering by looking at the packets somehow and start dropping the hammer by rate-limiting the device?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JetBlue:
I've never had a problem and some guy on the Rezound forums got to 1tb of data so I don't think so.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mark930:
I get a discount through work where do you enter your email to get the fee waived?

Sent from my Kindle Fire
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] k0t0g:
Link below. Call once you get approved to get activation waived.

Verizonwireless.com/discounts

Or

Enjoy

**Edit** Calling is the only way to get fees waived outside of the stores. They usually have to submit the waiver for approval and then authorize it later.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gingi999:
I tried to do that originally but the $10 a mo plans dont exist anymore, no for a non smartphone to share a plan (for my wife who is new to verizon) its $30 a month, the math didnt work
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenstre:
Droidwall is blocking traffic fine on wifi, but when I'm connected to 3G, the programs I've blocked have no problem communicating with the internet! The mode is blacklist (mark the apps that shouldn't be allowed to connect). Has anybody else used droidwall either with success or failure? I noticed in this thread somebody complained of the exact opposite problem (droidwall not blocking wifi connections). Can anybody help? The Droidwall log is confirming that nothing is being blocked on 3g. I've attached a sample of the firewall rules, in case anyone is better than me with iptables.

I haven't flashed any custom ROMs yet--running stock, here. Thanks for any help. This is a big issue if I can't control my bandwidth!

If you are in ICS, just turn off the function that watch and limit your data traffic (I think in english is "data use").

[HTC Sensation] KCuadrado:
After trying to clean the dust gathered in the camera (Thanks HTC for not covering it) my lens got scratched somehow. I can take pictures and haven't noticed any flaws or bad photos but the focus seems a little bit weird now. Close things to the camera don't focus very well and I think it's the scratches fault.

Did anyone here replace their Sensation camera some time? Was it easy? They are cheap at eBay, and I replaced some iPhone cameras before. Or is there some DIY to remove lens scratches? Please let me know what can be done. :banghead:
[HTC Sensation] remus82:
The sensations camera does not focus well with near objects. So changing the lens may not help. :(

Go ahead and upgrade, GSM is fully supported on Droid 4 with ICS.
[Motorola Droid 4] Lum_UK:
For the OP, who appears to be in South Korea, yes. But it's not *fully* supported as the phone will not work on USA-based GSM carriers such as AT&T.

This may be a concern if the OP plans to travel to the USA.

I am abroad and my S3 (rooted only) started an OTA update on my wifi here in the rental home. Downloading about 73Mb worked fine, after restart it stops the update after 26% and restarts letting me know that the update did not work and I should try KIES or contact Samsung Service Center. Anybody knows what might be the issue ? I am pretty sure I had an OTA before, which worked without any issues ?

M having issues with 2.3.6 radio

Which files should i extract from 2.3.5 zip to flash with rsd lite
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Don't use RSDlite... you will have to flash them with moto-fastboot.

Download the CORRECT fxz for where you live and the correct version of your phone:

http://sbf.droid-developers.org/edison/list.php

Also grab the moto-fastboot exec, and put it in the same directory that adb is and make sure that is in your path:

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/45576654/moto-fastboot-win32.zip

Unzip and take out the radio.img file and put it on your desktop

Then, from the windows command line, cd into your desktop directory and:

adb reboot bootloader
moto-fastboot flash radio.img
moto-fastboot reboot

maybe you can put off the sim card - turn on your phone

then

put it back again and turn on our phone

put in the sim card in your phone while flashing kernel or ROM

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gellybelly:
Not sure if without an lcd you can do a wipe....But

Perhaps from memory you can

Pull the sd card, then pull battery, wait 30 seconds, replace battery. Hold down the lower volume key and the power button, wait 15 seconds and let go of both. click the down volume button 2 times and click power button now wait 5 seconds then click the up volume butting to clear storage (wipe), then 5 seconds later it will or should reboot.

It should be clear, or at least we hope. If you are unable to do this method then lemme know I can send you a top bezel that has a working lcd but broken digitizer, just need to know if its the narrow or wide cable (I have several laying around), then you can do that step above visually.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] threestripebrand:
What recovery was that combo from? If memory serves me right I was using smelkis Amonra v4 something. It's the first release with the combo and multi wipes.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captain_Throwback:
None of that is in recovery at all. It's the "CLEAR STORAGE" option in the bootloader. Just make sure you don't have an SD card in the device.

[Motorola Droid 4] Joostbeers:
Almost the answer I was looking for.

So could someone confirm this:

Bad esn doesn't affect calling via a SIMcard?

I know it's a very old thread, but worth trying..
[Motorola Droid 4] PS4AndroidHacker:
ESN's and IMEI numbers are used for GSM phones(AT&T, T-Mobile and now Verizon also). MEID numbers are used with CDMA phones(Verizon,Sprint) and just because the phone has ics or jb doesn't mean it's unlocked. You still have to install a different sim card and put in an unlock code which you can get from Verizon if you are with them or pay for it online somewhere. Once the new sim card is installed into phone and the unlock code is entered, the phone will state that your device has been unlocked. Unlocking phones is mainly for overseas use outside of the US. I have much experience with this as I served in the U.S. military for 10 years and I took my old phone over with me. Upon arrival in the new country, you set up cell service with a GSM provider, install their sim card and viola! Hope I could clear this up for you guys! Not trying to sound mean, just informative.

EDIT: Bad ESN's or MEID's can be a bad thing but some can be changed or flashed over with new one's from third party service providers like PagePlus Cellular, etc.

I have a stock, unrooted for now, One S and there is this app on the phone that doesn't do anything. It looks like it should, but when I hit it in the app drawer, it says that it is "not ready or unsupported" in a warning text and refuses to open. What does it do, and how do I make it work? Does it need a new SIM card to work? Because I have a blank one. They accidentally left an extra in my phone box when I got mine activated. :cool:
[HTC One S] orenfl:
This is an app which relays on your operator SIM card data and does whatever the carrier programmed it to do.
