[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oz adari:
What ? Why ? there is no mobile phone store or something ? i have to order it from the internet?

from where to order??

its very weird what you say.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HellcatDroid:
In the US, they don't sell the int'l I9300 model, only the US variants, and the list why you really don't want one of these is looong.

Also, you usually only get them bundled with contract when buying off one of the cell carriers - dunno how the situation is in the US about independant phone shops that can sell what and how they like.

So yah, as the previous poster suggested, take a trip to the internet (amazon, eBay, craigslist or whatever) and order one from there.

It's really only a mouseclick away ;)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Do you want to buy the USA model they sell that in the USA

she will be at canada for a day or something, there is some stores which she can get it from ? or they selling only 4g versions?

thank you all, sorry for all the questions, its my best shoot to get S3 already, in my country its cost 890 dollars for 16 gig version, those damm taxes..

As you have already been told, the I9300 isn't sold in the US! If you want an I9300, order from Expansys or Negri Electronics online.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niftydl:
New York probably has some GSM dealers which carry the international version, but I doubt anyone on this forum would know their location.

Due to the a$$ backwards wireless carrier structure in three US, you will only be able to find the US version of the device in a regular retail store like T-Mobile and AT&T wireless. Those will run $549-$649 plus tax (6-10% depending on the state) for the 16GB versIon. Just remember you will still have to SIM unlock th device (through eBay or whatever if you buy the Tmobile or ATT version). Unlock codes are usually around $30. If you decide to get the US version, I would recommend the T-Mobile version since the are still HSDPA focused.

Hope this was somewhat helpful.

Was hellpfull,

I have no more questions, your answers where great, hope my next post is going to be "Finnaly, android device!! i got S3" (:

hello everyone

i m new to windows phone so i wanted to know to backup my text messages on my lumia 710..so that i can flash a custom rom on my device.

As far as i know the contacts are backed up on my windows live account..but i really don't know how to backup my messages...??

please help..!!!! :confused:

As of now there is no message backup available in WP 7.5 (Not in stock or cooked ROMS)

A leaked screen shot of WP8 in engadget had shown an option to backup the messages and apps so you would have to wait till than.

If that option is given to lumia 800 is an entirely different question though...

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] santeana:
hey there! OK so I hope someone can help me... I bought this mini pro new of eBay. its supposed to be unlocked. when I insert my koodo SIM card I have no signal at all. when I try to search for networks only Rogers shows up. it said hspa was supported and that's the band koodo uses but they're not there. inserting the SIM did not prompt me for a code or tell me that it was the wrong SIM or anything like that. I just don't have any signal on koodo/telus. please help!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] krex:
Check if it has unlocked bootloader. Sometimes unlock bootloader on wrong way brings no signal on x10 mini.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] santeana:
no way to check now as I've already unlocked the bl added cwm and mini cm9. see, I just assumed that I had no signal because they lied and it was indeed locked to Rogers. so I went ahead and did all that, figuring I would get it unlocked later .but now, the more I read the less convinced I am that it is locked. everyone seems to say that you will know it's locked the moment you put your SIM in. it will tell you invalid SIM card, or ask for a code or some other weird thing. I get none of that. just no signal. and like I said, only Rogers shows up in the carrier list when searching for a network. but for now, assuming the bootloader was not locked to begin with what else could it be? also assuming it WAS unlocked how can I fix it if that were the cause?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] santeana:

the frequencies is something related to hardware if I'm not mistake, so if you bought an U20i and you need U20a then, sorry to say this but it won't work in the 3G frequency.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] krex:
Sorry but you said no signal and not to say there is no internet connection. The difference between u20i and u20a is only in 3g. Their GSM bands for calling are exactly the same...
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drkdeath5000:
Hi all,

I just got hold of another faulty streak only this one is partially working so im hoping to fix it. One issue im having is in the recovery menu of this particular streak there is no 'screen calibration' option, you know the white screen you get before you go into fastboot (camera + power). The calibration option is simply not there. I've seen a few streaks lately and they've all had this option so why does this one not have it, any ideas ?

Thanks
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deysmacro:
another way to show the screen calibration option is ... press power button until panel lights on... release it... when the dell logo shows up... press up + down volume button until it goes into recovery menu...

# 3 menu option should show screen calibration :good:
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drkdeath5000:
Thanks i found that option via recovery and the streak touch is working again now ... i just wondered why it wasnt in the bootloader menu (power + camera) as its the first streak i've found without the option, perhaps its an older streak model ?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
The only older models I know of for the Streak are engineering units with purple cases and pre-release units in Android green.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drkdeath5000:
Well i just updated another streak to the 407 rom and suprise suprise the touch calibration is gone from the bootloader screen. I'm certain it was there before flashing 407 so it must be something to do with the 407 update which is removing it. In other words it should be nothing to worry about ;).
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deysmacro:
have you tried to flash custom rom such as dsc or longhorn and see if the option comes back?

because i am at longhorn 2.7 and can see the screen calibration option....

oh.. forgot to mention... it does not use word screen calibration.. it use word touch calibration instead... :p
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drkdeath5000:
Its running DSC v1.3 and the option isnt there. Will have to give longhorn a try to see if it comes back but im guessing its something to do with the official 407 updating the bootloader. Presumably i could flash an earlier stock rom and that would bring it back.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deysmacro:
no way touch calibration is not there.. i use dsc as well... i have it both at white letter recovery menu and before selecting fastboot mode...
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drkdeath5000:
How odd. So its definately there on yours, in the white bootloader menu ? Did you flash 406 or 407 before DSC ?

My main streak is running an older DSC version, presuming DSC 1.0 and the calibration option is still there in the bootloader menu so im almost certain 406 / 407 are the culprits. Anyone willing to give it a try ?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deysmacro:
i dont remember which one... it is quite long time ago... i think i am on 406 and then goes straight to custom rom...
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Razak RK:
My Dell Streak 5 Fastboot is missing "Touch calibration" too

I have the same problem too, when I go to Fastboot via pressing power+camera button simultaneously these days, I do not see the words "Touch calibration" anymore. It is missing now. I only realize it recently. I am concern that this might be due to some corrupt system files on my Streak 5, that might spread to other functions too, soon... will it? Does anyone knows about this? Or how to fix it?

Here my story. I apologies, sorry if it is a long one... :o

I only realize the missing "Touch calibration" words recently.

My Streak was recently stuck at Dell Logo on boot due to an app I install. I was trying to use this app that enable me to install ROM directly from the SD without going into the Recovery Mode (i.e. turn off phone, press up+down volume buttons and power on button simultaneously). Just click on this app menu to update to latest CWM and then click another menu to load a ROM to flash. That ended in disaster, really made my Streak to just stuck at Dell logo instead of flashing the intended ROM. When I remove the battery and put it back, I go to recovery mode. The CWM recovery mode was corrupted. If I am not mistaken, I was not able to go into Fastboot either. At that time, I was using 16GB innerSD when this happened. I replaced back my original innerSD 2GB, flash it with CWM and Longhorn 2.9.3. I was lucky it worked.

Next, I was searching for a way to update the baseband to 407 (GAUSB1A1406214-EU). My streak was on 347. As I understood, my Dell Streak suppose to use baseband 407 if I choose Longhorn 2.9.3 {{ Please correct me if I am wrong, I am still new at doing all these mod }} It took me almost a month to upgrade the baseband to 407, all end up with failure to upgrade/no change. I even accidentally downgraded my Streak to 305 after I flash AMSS and DSP1 which were in QDL folders I downloaded from XDA (Nobody's fault but mine). But I finally manage to do it, after reading someone feedback (sorry can't remember) that says, to go flash 350 ROM first since it region 14, before using auto-update menu on the Dell Streak to get to ROM 407 installed. I use 407 ROM for just a short while and then I flashed to Longhorn 2.9.3 using CWM recovery.

Like I said, I only realize it recently. So, in my case, it is either the 407 Recovery+ROM update or the Corrupted Flashing method that lead to the lost of the "Touch calibration" on Fastboot screen. Should I get this fixed? :confused:

EDITED:

After many times using QDL Tools, and upgrade to Stock ROM 407, I have CONFIRMED the "Touch Calibration" will disappear. No cause for alarm. It seems Dell removed the option from the Fastboot Mode screen on 407.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nsrpani:
I too have the same problem, recently upgraded with 2.3 from 2.2.2 but after a week my screen is not responding and did thrice screen calibration but no use . After that I roll backed with my previous version 2.2.2. Even though no change still my screen is not responding.But I can able to touch few things on my screen but not fully

Could you please help on this
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Razak RK:
Did you try screen calibration in Recovery Mode? I read somewhere in xda-dev. about this, if my memory is correct... And I can't remember where I found it. Do it at your own risk...

Turn off your phone.

Clean your screen with just slightly wet tissue or cloth, ensure to wipe it clean and dry.

Don't turn on your phone.

Press volume up, volume down, power on button simultaneously together. Don't let go until the Recovery Mode i.e. Black Screen with 4 options comes out.

Select Screen Calibration, and let it run, don't touch anything at all.

If I am not mistaken, the phone will booth up after that.​

Best way is to use the search function in xda-dev, to find solutions given by Senior Members on this matter.

Goodluck.

Other things that I can comment are:

When I use the QDLTool.exe from the QDL Tool folder, it did not work, i.e. it Failed.

So, I run the QDLTool.exe from the streakflash folder first. I get it pass.

Then, I run the QDLTool.exe from the QDL Tool folder. Then only it can pass.

At one time, my innerSD is so corrupted that I have to remove it and erase everything on it, then I put it back in and run both QDLTool.exe as I mention above. I erase the innerSD using USB Image Tool 1.59, which I get from this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=31067359&postcount=2

[About XDA developers] MadMatt89:
Hello,

first of all, I know that you have to advertise to earn some money to support this great page, BUT:

In the way you do it it's pretty much drivin me crazy. There are commercial videos playing in every tab where an xda thread is open, you can't stop them (they reload and start again after a short time), you can't mute them (same problem, after they finished playing they start again unmuted) and the worst you can't even watch them and get your silence or music back again, because when the video is finished it automatically starts again or another video starts playing.

Conclusion is that I can only browse xda when I mute my speakers which is really annoying because I can't listen to music like this.

A few thoughts about how you could advertise more user friendly would be great.

Thanks in advance and thanks for this great forum

[Nokia Lumia 900] Batt322:
Started developing 2 new issues with the phone.

1. Echoing on phone calls, doesn’t matter if I call a mobile or land line, I can hear my voice echoing back to me, doesn’t matter if I’m using wired headset, blue tooth, or just the phone, it’s happens to about 75% of calls made.

2. Issue, when I get a text message, it shows “Media content sent, click to retrieve” this only happens with texts, not Multi Media Messaging. I’ve called AT&T 3 times; they “re-provisioned my text” all 3 times, it works for about a day or so, then I start getting that error.

Is anyone else having this issue?
[Nokia Lumia 900] xuninc:
The echo annoyance is something that companies have been trying to eliminate from communication devices since the 1950s... It just happens... There are many factors that you can consider to narrow down what might be causing it... Does it ever occur when you're outside of your home or away from any electronic devices? (Especially WiFi)

Next time your phone is echoing, plug it into the charger to see if it might be a battery retention of charge issue.

Regarding the media content sent, click to retrieve message... once you click it what happens? If nothing happens it means that your phone's plan does not support whatever media content that somebody was trying to send you... Sometimes this happens to me if somebody sends me an MMS message with nothing but text in the message... No picture, video or audio... I don't know what the cause of this is but it sounds like a bug, hope they fix it soon..

Anyways, let me know if you find any other possible explanations for the media content text message... I'll do the same...
