I mean I understand where u are coming from.. It would have been crazy to leave to get your phone unless you really needed it for emergency.. I'm highly addicted to my phone which I'm cool with ..(always want it with me, but I put it away when it's time for work or some play) but I'm like I'd rather be addicted to my phone then what most people are addicted to now a days

[Samsung Infuse 4G] kmeng9:
Okay guys, on the day I got my Infuse I thought I give it a try and put it on the Simple Mobile 3G network. So what ticks me is that I'm always stuck on a 2G network with a big "E" on my status bar. I even called Simple Mobile customer service and they said they can't fix that. Dammit, there has got to be some way to bypass AT&T. Help me out guys. Thanks.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
that's just a prepay plan on t-mobile. the infuse will need an att or similar sim card. t-mobile has unique frequencies and features on there network. it is not att's fault. edge only is typical with att phones. try strait talk, they sell sims now and you can specify att compatible.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mg2195:
Yeah...nothing you can do except switch carriers...go to straight talk, its $45 a month for unlimited everything, just go to there website and order an att compatible sim.

Your pretty much guaranteed to get edge when using an att phone on t mobile, simply because they run in differnt cell frequencies or whatever you wanna call it
[Samsung Infuse 4G] kmeng9:
Hey thanks guys, I appreciate the info. Now that I know, yeah I guess that sounds like a best solution is to just switch carriers. Then again I feel that I made a mistake by buying an Infuse. Dammit, should of gotten the Galax Epic 4G and flashed it to Cricket. But yup thanks guys.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] oxendine9381:
I've been told you cant get 3g because the Infuse is a 4g phone. That could also be an issue as well. I ran into that problem when att had to replace my captivate with my infuse. This is what they told me.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mg2195:
That's not the issue at all...for one thing, the infuse isn't even real 4g...it runs on hspa+, hspa is 3g...so when you have "H+" you have 4g...when you have "H" you have 3g...when you have "E" you have edge/2g

These phones are backwards compatible...if they wernt then you would constantly lose data signal
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] androidkitty:
So I have been looking for a way to say goodbye to AT&T's U-Verse and their terrible service/billing.

Now that I have a galaxy S3 and there is decent LTE coverage at home, I would like to use my Unlimited LTE as my main internet service.

This has worked out well tethering with FoxFi and I usually get around 15mb/s down / 6 mb/s up.

However I cannot figure out how to get incoming connections to uTorrent. I don't torrent very often but I like to maintain a good ratio and there are some things which I will seed forever, to make sure they are still available.

I haven't yet rooted my phone though I'm comfortable with it from prior experience. I wouldn't mind rooting it but if I can avoid it for the time being, why bother?

Has anyone had any trouble with Verizon and torrents on an unlimited plan? I don't use an exorbitant amount of data but I wonder about my privacy.

I would be very appreciative if someone could show me how to port-forward or otherwise open my phone to incoming connections from uTorrent through tethering. I have also considered using a VPN to increase my privacy, so if I could use that with my phone connection, I would be very happy.

Thank you to any who devote their time to my cause.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] KrisPeezy:
Sorry, I dont have a solution for you. but i would like to know the answer to this as well :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] icebear8:
i torrent just fine when tethering my Galaxy nexus on verizon (using PDAnet) i use about 20gigs a month or so and the max i ever went with it was 60gigs. but i have not torrent in a long time and have been using my tethering for WoW and L4D2 and downloading steam games
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] scsa20:
Whoa, you're on u-verse and having bad service and bill? Might want to shoot me a private message to talk about it and I can take a quick looksee of what's going on (I'm a tier 2 technical support agent for u-verse, and you wonder why I'm on Verizon Wireless :p )

Anyways, the only thing I've learned is that setting up utorrent on the phone is a pain in the ass but will work (been awhile since I've done it) but only when it's on 4G, if it's on the 3G network it won't let you do it (I can't point my figure on why).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] androidkitty:
Thanks for the consideration. I'll be in touch. :)

I tried to use uTorrent on my S3, but the private tracker I use only allows supported clients. There is no Android option available. I am going to suggest they add one, but in the mean time, I'm wishing I could run a Linux client on my phone or figure out a way to enable incoming connections over a WiFi/USB tether. Don't know where to start with that, though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jarredw:
You might want to look at your computer's built in firewall. From my understanding of port forwarding it allows certain traffic to bypass a firewall to a specific client. I don't recall foxfi having any built in firewall so anything connected to it should be in a DMZ
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] androidkitty:
The built in firewall doesn't block incoming connections when I am using my home wifi (I have set up port forwarding in the router). The only thing I change is that I connect to FoxFi and the port is no longer accessible from outside (no connections are being made to upload in uTorrent.) :confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Miker1029:
BUMP?

Has Anyone gotten anywhere with this, I know its not a firewall somewhere down the line the port is getting blocked but all my firewalls are off....

Mike
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ThePagel:
You should see if they support tixati. I have had nothing but problems with utorrent in the past couple years. Tixati may not look superior at first but it has all the same options plus more. Probably what really draws me to tixati is it allocates the files before download.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Miker1029:
VPN Fixed it, Kinda

Hey I had the Idea to set up a VPN on the computer, and It did fix the connection problem, got the green, BUT my DL speeds went to crap, Which makes sense, So I guess if you wanna either find a decent VPN provider that can handle the through put could possibly solve the issue...I just jumped on the first free one I came across..

Hope It Helps

Mike
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dumbledon:
Which VPN did you use eventually mike ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Miker1029:
I Started with OpenVPN, which worked OK, But was a PITA to setup, I eventually went to a free VPN through a website, and client configuration, They'd change the password daily, you just jump to the site, log-in get the new Password and your good to go, Speeds where about the same...

And It's been awhile, but I found out the the Issue was AT&T blocking certain websites (Including at the time, My Free Host for my Forum which is now on a VPS..) and have since moved to T-mobile....

Been Awhile and memory isn't as great as it was, Hope this is what you are looking for,

[HTC EVO 3D] spirithandler:
Shooter is the code name for the evo 3d (if you used google you would have found your answer)

As for your next question can not be answered here in XDA since even mentioning the dev's name or the kernel he makes is a major no no. I Suggest you take that word out of your post or risk a Ban or infraction.

As for your last question I am sorry I have no clue what that rom is you might want to check the other three forums.

What is a kernel?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MiguelHogue:
A kernel is like the interface between your hardware and software.. When your software needs the hardware to do something it sends a request to the kernel.. Example : lowering and raising screen brightness.. When you tap the home button and your phone goes to the home screen... It's many more functions but you get the point)

And a good kernel can = better battery life and better performance

I'm hoping I didn't brick my phone. I was in the middle of flashing a ROM with Odin and the transfer stopped for over 30 mins. I gave up and disconnected the USB (bad idea I know).

- Phone won't boot to Android

- Can get to CWM 5.5.0.4

- - Can't access SD card (error E:Can't mount /sdcard/)

- - Can't mount USB (error E:Unable to write to ums lunfile (No such file or directory)

- Can get to download mode

- - Odin cannot see my device (Tried multiple USB ports, multiple drivers including Kies and plain Samsung USB drivers and rebooting)

Is there any hope for my phone? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

So I guess my next question is what will Sprint do if I take this in and I don't have insurance? Would using a USB jig increase my chances of a repair or replacement? I think I'm still under warranty.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Sprint, eh? The I9100 (which is the device this forum is for) doesn't run on Sprint's network, since it is a GSM phone, and Sprint is a CDMA network.

My guess is you were flashing an I9100 ROM to an Epic 4G Touch. You can confirm this by looking on the label under the battery. If your model says SPH-D710, then you have an Epic 4G Touch and are definitely in the wrong forum.

Try going to the Epic 4G Touch forums for advice and potential fixes, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FugitivePuppeT:
Oooooh nooooo! Not sure why I thought my phone was the i9100. Now I feel like a complete idiot. At least I know what the heck happened to my phone... :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bwhetsto:
@ctomgee, I'm in the same boat with my phone, which is exactly what you describe above. My phone (rooted and current paper weight) says GT-I9100 on the boot page and even in recovery. My wife's phone, (un-rooted and working properly) says the same thing, so with that said, how can two things that say they're the same, not be the same...and both be on Sprint's net work?

(no, not trying to upstage, just trying to understand as I am frustrated that my phone is currently not recognized by Odin):good:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Did you install custom ROMs on them? The boot screen is swappable. It can say whatever you want to say.

Confirm the model number on the sticker label underneath the phone's battery. That will tell you the true model number.

EDIT: You say your wife's phone is un-rooted - does that mean it's straight from the Sprint store, never had a custom firmware installed on it?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bwhetsto:
opp...I stand corrected. My wife's phone doesn't have the GT-I9100 on it. Sorry about that:silly:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
So you did the same thing the guy above did. Tried to install an i9100 ROM to your Epic 4g Touch.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bwhetsto:
Yes, basically. I had a guy I work with that roots phones on the side do it and I don't think he understood the MANY different model numbers and variations for the Epic 4G. I am thinking that at this point I am stuck getting it jtag'd. Do you agree?:confused:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
I can't agree or disagree. I don't have an Epic 4G Touch. (which, incidentally, since you mention specifically the Epic 4G above; the Epic 4G and Epic 4G Touch are two different phones as well)

I'd advise you to ask your question in the forum for your device.

please read my problem carefully and help me please....

2 weeks ago i flashed ARHD 6.3.3....[after full wipe]

but i got some boot loops....thinking that its rom problem i flashed 6.3.2 and done all the works like singing in google account, flashing ARHD fonts etc etc.....

but after some days i got bootloops on 6.3.2 also.......

thought its a kernel problem....changed the kernel ....but still boot loop.....

set the CPU back to 1 ghz......but still boot loop.......

thinking SD card problem.....changed sd card., flashed 6.3.2 after full wipe........still boot loop....

thinking that its due to anti virus F secure......uninstalled F secure ......

no boot loop for 2 days...........but at the end of 2 nd day.....BOOT LOOP.....

At the end .........changed into Ice cold Sandwitch........

no boot loops at the start..........but after downloading apps boot loop in ever minute.....

now comes the most breath taking moment....

downloaded rom manager, rebooted into recovery flashed ARHD superwipe [thinking that much less boot loops ] ,

during the wiping of the partitions also MY PHONE GOT REBOOTED.....

immediately pulled out the battery before the start up......

inserted again.....tried to get into bootloader...SUCCESS ....

went to recovery.....flashed superwipe, 6.3.2.....

now i switched off the phone[to avoid boot loops] and i want to know WHATS THE PROBLEM WITH MY PHONE..............

HOW can i solve it ???????

did the flashing of roms permanently damaged my phone ????

what should i do.....

HElp please.............:crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying:
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roberto_Lim:
I would not think so. If your ROM was bad, I would think the phone would not run at all. My experience is with personal computers and not mobile phones. The problem you describe sounds more like RAM or your processor.

So, you have a working ROM installed? Do you have the O/C Deamon installed.

I am not an expert, but if it was me I would try to manually set the voltage back to 1100 vdd (that is the default I think) and run the processor 922 MHz (921600). If that was stable I would try 998 MHz @ 1100 vdd. And if that was stable, I would try 998 MHz @ 1075 vdd.

Default = 998 MHz @ 1100 vdd

ARHD = 1150 MHz @ 1075 vdd

ARHD (flash back to 1GHz) = 998 MHz @ but am not sure about the vdd.

The only problem with this theory is that you also had issue with IColdS.

I am not expert. Follow at your own risk.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Tempott:
Hi, I just noticed that my Galaxy S3 and my wife's Galaxy S3 do not have perfect blacks on the lock screen. The home screen blacks are pure black as expected from Super Amoled displays. I created a pure black wallpaper in photoshop and tried it on the lock screen and home screen. And for some reason the pure black wallpaper on the lock screen looks as if it's a LCD with light bleed. The same pure black wallpaper on the home screen looks pure black. How about you, do you have a lock screen that does not display pure blacks like your home screen? Am I missing a setting that is causing the lock screen blacks to look like light bleed on an LCD. (Yes I know AMOLED does not have light bleed. I'm only saying the effect on the lock screen blacks only looks like light bleed on an LCD. So please don't respond saying that AMOLED does not have light bleed as I am already aware of this, and this is not what I am saying as well.)

I've attached the pure black wallpaper if anyone wants to test the lock screen and home screen blacks. Would appreciate your input.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Tempott:
Ok, just found out it is the ripple effect on the lock screen that causes this. Turned it off, and now got pure black lock screen. Sweeeet!!!

Answer to the Custome Kernel question

Think about in this way, Kernel is a main component of an operating system , to make things easier let’s call it the operating system: and users with android phones install custom operating system mainly because their phones came

with official 2.1 or 1.6 android 3.2 or more recent builds because, as you know, not all phones get the privilege of getting the latest Android 4.x operating system.

Now, in order to install an operating system, you need to root your phone which is the equivalent of being an administrator account , and not a user

: the most famous custom kernel is cyanengon mod

From there, you are able to understand more about custom Android operating system kernels.
[General Questions and Answers] xHausx:
The kernel is the part of your device that stands inbetween the hardware and the software. It controls all the basics like charging, handling CPU usage, memory use, etc.
