[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] asatnik11:
I've had this happen back in the days of the Nokia 6150 when I entered the wrong SIM unlock code too many times. Had to call T-Mobile (voice stream) to get the PUK code to unlock the SIM card. I think the SIM card is toast if you put the wrong PUK in too many times. I hope that's not the case for you !

You could also try reseating your SIM.

I'm pretty much losing respect for XDA and the moderators. Seeing people call other people immature while acting immature themselves is lame. Ya'll need to get your **** together.
[HTC EVO 3D] o0adam0o:
What happened?

Never mind I read it.
[HTC EVO 3D] flashallthetime:
It was better than watching paul sr and paul jr going at it (the Teutul's) american choppers . All we needed was micky, seriously it was more fun than the troll thread. Respect goes both ways unfortunately xda has to many rules and they have had a major situation with a previous developer, lawsuit, lawyers :beer::beer::beer::beer::beer::what::what::what::screwy:
[HTC EVO 3D] flashallthetime:
I think predator was correct in saying give him a few hours to remove the offending kernel off his thread, but xda hates that kernel.
[HTC EVO 3D] tomzefi:
I sent a long message to Mike Channon about the way some mods are enforcing the rules. Guys, pm him too. They are out of control.
[HTC EVO 3D] flashallthetime:
Agree, but anthrax is s 4 letter word on xda. Feel for pred.
[HTC EVO 3D] tomzefi:
What's sad is you are going to get an infraction for saying that word even though you may have been referring to the poison lol
[HTC EVO 3D] flashallthetime:
Well it wouldn't be my first infraction:eek:
[HTC EVO 3D] tomzefi:
Ya there is one in there for me when ropeodope was banned
[HTC EVO 3D] Volumes:
I have a question, obviously using different PRL's is illegal to spring, Verizon, ect. They will ETF you, and I'm sure Verizon could take legal action if they wanted too. That being said, obviously its warez, why does XDA allow it?
[HTC EVO 3D] tomzefi:
The interpretation of warez is so vague that most everything in the underground can be warez. Its mostly up to discretion than anything else. It is not clear cut imo
[HTC EVO 3D] Volumes:
Just seems like XDA deems anything they don't like as warez, and stuff that is apk.ed as warez. My point is, if you were to show these how to threads to Verizon and Sprint (which I'm sure they aren't stupid) I doubt they would say, "oh em gee, its ok.. let them leech off our towers.. its not like it doesn't slow down our customers haha1!1!1!"

That being said, dafuq?

[HTC EVO 3D] tomzefi:
Ya they would love the hacked wifi tether. That cheats the providers out of millions. What do they charge for that? 20 bucks or something.
[HTC EVO 3D] flashallthetime:
It's personal matter regarding antr_ _ for xda that's why the crap hit the fan.
[HTC EVO 3D] Volumes:
Ya, good point lol. But again, as someone stated in the Team Gen thread must be ok if they use it. Lolz. And I'm sure they do. And mods wanna comment? Interested in hearing why its ok.
[HTC EVO 3D] Volumes:
I understand that, but their reasoning for why is flawed. "How to scam Verizon PRL'S" and "How to steal WiFi tether with ICS" is WAY more warez or just down right illegal. And I don't see them worried about it?
[HTC EVO 3D] flashallthetime:
Who said it was ok for team G to use it?

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] shokuhawan:
My brother just gave me his phone. I'm totally new to it. The phone has no sdcard so I installed some apps and then go to store to buy 8GB one.

But when I plugin to computer. It has 3 storage.

- 1 about 480MB

- 2 removeable disks: 8.83GB and 7.45Gb

I knew 7.45GB is the sdcard.

But when I use file explorer on android, it sad that sdcard and sdcard_ext. It made me confused, can someone explain it for me?

And one more thing, how long does it takes you to full charge the phone? Mine cable is not HTC, it's from LG but the wall charge is original
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Bigtjmc:
Try to format the sd on your pc then place it in the phone

One will br labeled HTC device then the other should say some sort of disk if I remember right

Just format it fat32 and try again

The sd ex is the root of the sd anything in this folder should be on the sd ,

Some chargers won't charge , I would down load a battery app and watch the % and if it don't go up quick I'd get another .
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] LaZiODROID:
I felt the same way when I first got my HTC Raider.

/sdcard is your phones internal storage

/sdcard2 is your phones external storage (your microSD card)

/sdcard/ext_sd is a shortcut to your external storage (microSD card) which simply exists inside the internal storage.

As strange as it seems to have that, I remember an app or two that would only start me in "/sdcard" and would not allow me to fall back to "/". This is where the ext_sd shortcut folder came in handy. It allowed me to access my microSD card at that time.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] caguas56:
Today I learned the hard way of Sprint Early Termination Fees!!!. this was verified by several customer service representative. only at 2 days before my trial period I had problems with my bill and found out that ETF(Early Termination Fees) are NOT PRORATED the way we used to know. just after 8 months is when you start your prorated cycle at $340.00, then from the 9th to the 19th months goes $20.00 per month, then form the 20th to the 23th month go to $100.00, and the Last month to $0.00. I did not knew that. on AT&T after the first month it will go by $10.00 a month until goes to $0. WHAT A RIPOFF!!!!!!!!!!!. I fought with 5 diferent representatives at the store and on the phone until finaly got a complete credit of my ETF!!!. WHAT A FIGHT!!!. I spended 7 years as a Tmobile customer before because this same problem with Sprint. almost leave for AT&T!. BUYERS BEWARE!!!!!.

Has anyone had this bad experience???
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ogubodagris:
nah. I read my contact before I signed it, so I knew what the etf situation was.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] poit:
You sign a contract, and you've got 14 days to evaluate the phone, the service, and READ THE CONTRACT. They don't charge the ETF until you've gone beyond that 14 days, right?

You expect them to live up to their end of the contract, why not just be thankful that they were convinced to give you a break instead of being pissed that they tried to enforce a contract you signed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] composi:
trolololol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] caguas56:
as I understand it PRORATED means that as the months go by your balance will go down with it. that's not the case with Sprint. you have to wait 7 month to go down. that to me is not PRORATED!!!. SCAM!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] composi:
Sprint es una mierda vete con ATT o Verizon!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] caguas56:

viste Sprint brega con los precios pero el servicio y la seleccion no es tan buena...alla donde tu estas tienen LTE ya o todavia?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TechSavvy2:
/facepalm/

I have absolutely no sympathy for you dude. Its not a scam for you to have to pay the price for breaking contract.....

And I hate to break it to you, but you just created a new thread with information that........wait for it...........everyone already has available to them in their contract that THEY ALREADY WILLINGLY SIGNED.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] caguas56:
Si, en muchos sitios tengo LTE incluyendo en casa la mayor parte del tiempo. a mi el servicio de Sprint es bueno y eso que yo manejo mucho pero el servicio al cliente.... ni te cuento!!!. hace 7 años me fui con Tmobile pero por no hacer upgrade a sus torres volvi con Sprint.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] caguas56:
Well, I'm not looking nor I need sympathy from no one. My purpose was for information to others not to make the same mistake I did. whoever don't like it,,, TOUGH!!! :p

ahh ps bien entonces quizas es mejor Sprint alla...aca donde estoy Sprint casi no tiene sen~al...yo tuve Sprint por un mes y tuve k cambiarlo rapido porque nunca podian ayudarme en nada me mandaban a llamar el numero 800...pero na picheale a la gente aca uno no puede tener una opinion sin que te caigan encima
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] caguas56:
I'm telling you. I recognize I did a mistake. that's why I post it. to warn others not to do what I did. I will man up to my mistake. but there is no need to make stupid comments about reading contracts when I already took responsability of it. just saying.....

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] composi:
afuego me dicen k ATT esta fuerte alla ojala y sea cierto porque yo dependo mucho del LTE cuando no tengo una conexion de wifi disponible
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] caguas56:
Te recomiendo entonce AT&T. yo use att por 15 dias como prueba y creo que es el mejor servicio que he probado hasta ahora. 4G LTE lo hay por donde vayas con att. lo unico es que son caros y la data no es ilimitada. tendras que escojer un plan de 3 o 5 GB.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] composi:
si ya tengo plan tengo un pana k trabaja pa ATT y me dio un descuento ahi y pago mas que 130 por 2 lineas y 3gb cada uno y no tuve k pagar deposito...no es ilimitada pero primero averigue en Verizon y por dos lineas compartiendo 2gb eran 160 por ahi con taxes, asi k me salia mejor irme con ATT
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] caguas56:
me alegro. yo probe el Galaxy Note y me facino!!! pero por lo caro del servicio lo devolvi antes de los 30 dias y cancele el servicio y volvi con Sprint.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] composi:
si mano si no fuera por el pana no hubiera ni preguntado porque ATT tiene esa reputacion de ser carisimos
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] egyptshun:
have a corporate account w/o having a part of a company, and i paid the activation fee n the phone n thats it, some guy beside me paid 200 plus just on those fees... i had a year left... lol

Si no fuera por el unlimited data ya hubiera cambiado a ATT. Donde vivo yo ATT tiene los mejores velocidades como 5+mb/s.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ogubodagris:
So why did you agree to it?

A scam would be if the contract you signed said they will do one thing, but then they did another. This scenario is just a contract with terms you feel are unfavorable, but you did agree to abide by those terms.

It's vitally important that you read and understand all terms and conditions before signing any contract. The more expensive the situation, the greater the risk to your wallet if you don't read before signing.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] composi:
Instead of bashing him, did anybody care to find out the circumstances?

Sprint just rolled out LTE in his area. Sprint is the only company out of the big 4 that offers truly unlimited (T-Mobile throttles after like 2gb) data. Sprint requires the least amount of deposit most times for a new contract. He works for a company that gets a discount from Sprint. The better companies like Verizon and At&t usually are more expensive for what they offer.

He basically had no choice but to go with Sprint, it seemed like the logical decision. I agree, he should have read the contract, but he himself has said that he admits his mistake in that. Plus, I've had Verizon and AT&T, and both have similar ETF policies, so to be quite honest, if I were to get Sprint, I really wouldn't be thinking about the ETF because 1) I wouldn't expect to return the phone anyways, and 2) If the first two are similar, I'd foolishly believe the next to be the same as well.

It was funny the first time, but to continuously bash the man for it? He made a thread in the general section voicing his displeasure with an experience he had with Sprint customer service. Nobody cared to find out that this is not the first time he felt wronged by Sprint, and although in this particular case Sprint wasn't wrong, the fact that he was able to find someone who was lenient on the ETF shows that its something they could have been flexible with to begin with.

He was also making sure that others learned from his mistakes. Instead of saying "should have read your contract" over and over again, just move on and thank God you were smart enough to revise your contract before signing it. The thread is named "Warning!!!", as in just helping out his fellow members on the forum. If you guys are that much better for reading your contracts, then good for you. I just don't see what you gained in adding insult to injury by telling him something he already acknowledges he should have done in reading the contract.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] caguas56:
Let me start by saying you're correct in what you are saying. My complaint is sometimes the terms are so hidden you almost have to hire a Lawyer to find out!. When you are going to buy a phone, do you read ALL the terms of the Contact ALL THE TIME?. NOW BE HONEST!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mystic38:
or..instead of bashing him or even caring to find the circumstances, how about.. reminding him to Go post in the appropriate forum! :D

Unless a thread here has something to do with the sprint/att/tmo/vz S3 then it should not be here... there are 1000 rooms on 1000 forums to discuss ETF of carriers... and fyi to you and the OP ..this is not one of them
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] composi:
Soooo we can have a thread about someone being angry that the S3 is being represented by the white version and not the blue, but God forbid someone posts something to try and help others out...gotcha! ;)

This is what a 5 second Google search turned up.

http://support.sprint.com/support/a...termination_fee/case-sp061027-20110823-171256

Besides, why are you cancelling anyways? Trying to sell the phone on fleabay or something? No need to warn people, it doesn't take much effort to find out ETF's, not as hard as you might think.

Oh and half of your posts in Spanish were completely irrelevant, there's a PM option you know.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] composi:
Felt like speaking Spanish I don't have to PM if I don't want to. I wanted to know why he chose Sprint to begin with. It was relevant to his post and it made it easier to have a conversation, plus his name is caguas56 and Caguas is a town in Puerto Rico where I happen to be from so I figured it would be easier for him to express himself in Spanish, which led to my post. If it's such a problem ban my account and close the thread. I could be a leech but at the very least I'm trying to participate and help in whatever way I can.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gaarry:
That's why I said half, some of your posts were just asking about him and where he lived and such.

So did you ever find out why he decided to cancel his account so early?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] chrischoi:
Lol.

Sprint was always after a couple months. Used to be after 1 year, it would go down $10 a month. Something weird like that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] composi:
Asking about where he lived because I'm moving to the area next week and I wanted to know if Sprint was better than AT&T since I'm still in my "trial" period with AT&T. I wanted to know why he chose Sprint, I had Sprint...doesn't take much to cancel a service that is inferior to VZW and AT&T.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ogubodagris:
I do read any contract before signing. I know it's not normal, but that's why I am so adamant about it; it should be normal. No one should have to go through your frustration, but the only one who can prevent it is the customer.

I definitely agree that the contracts carriers use suck, but calling it a scam just seems harsh, as they offer all the info up front.

Sharing your experience and enduring all this flack in the interest of warning others to be weary of the terms of subsidized phones is a stand up thing to do though. Props.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] caguas56:
Thank's Mano Boricua!, my only purpose was to warn others like me that did not read ALL the contract before signing. those who DID!, not need to worry then those who are ABOUT TO, to those I want it to warn. what's the big deal then?.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] caguas56:
First of all, you don't know the whole story, I was only 2 months left of my original 2 year contract(the ETF was $200.00)wich expire on 8/20/12. I ported my number to AT&T on 7/1/12 and ported back to Sprint on 7/13/12. the fee can not has been $350.00 for 2 reasons, 1) the original contract 22 months prior. 2) the ETF at that time when I sign was $200.00 and PRORATED!!!!!. So they want it me to pay $350.00. wich I will not!!!. after back and forth finaly Sprint realiced their error and corrected and decided to waive all charges since I came back to Sprint in only 13 days and continue my service for 2 more years(with my brand spanking new Galaxy S3 :p :p :p). COMPRENDE AMIGO?????
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] chrisnosleep:
I agree with your first paragraph, but not the second. They expect you to live up to your end of the contract, but if they don't, you're just screwed. Sprint's been having problems in most areas outside major cities for more than a year and if your not happy with their service, guess what, they're not letting you go without the ETF. That is unless you pull a magic trick out of your hat like the OP apparently did.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] caguas56:
I chose to go to AT&T because of the Galaxy Note wich has a bigger screen size. AT&T has a better network than Sprint. 4G all over the DFW Area!!!!!. BUT,,,,, EXPENSIVE AND NOT UNLIMITED. I could not keep watching my data usage wich I depend the most than calling or texting. that's why I came back to Sprint in 13 days!!!!!!!!. if You can afford the price and limited data usage of AT&T then go for it. I dont.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] caguas56:
Please read the post above you, it explain everything in detail.

Thank you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] caguas56:
Besides, for the life of me I don't know how no one has sue Sprint on the 4G because like me there has been a lot of users that has been obligated to pay the $10.00 premiun data charge and almost never to enjoy it!!!!!.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] chrischoi:
Funny how Premium Data has nothing to do with 4G.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] caguas56:
If you don't understand what has been said then don't post.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] splashattack:
Looks like you don't either. The $10 monthly charge for premium data applies to ALL smartphones, 4G capable or not. Don't like the service? Tough titties. You had a couple weeks to cancel with no ETF from when you signed the 2 year agreement.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] caguas56:
You don't eather. 2 years ago the Sprint store clerk told me it was for the 4G service. He must want it to make a sale perhaps but that's what I was told.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] splashattack:
Well I wasn't there, and you wrote nothing in your post about signing the contract before the Premium Data charge applied to all smartphones, so my reading comprehension is just fine. But no, the sales clerk didn't just want to make a sale, he was giving you accurate information at the time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] caguas56:
