Do not bother going to a retail location. They will either lie or don't know what they are talking about. Just call and they will overnight one to u. Called on a Monday and had it by Wednesday
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] puch0021:
So I had a buldging battery and contacted Sprint via email. Was told to go to a retail store with a service appointment.

Walked in yesterday with no appointment with a rooted phone running AOKP. Explained my situation (my battery is bulging and I'm looking at my options for a replacement).

Got in queue for service. Went to the tech support and I pulled my battery, and showed them how buldging it was.

They did some account checking and what not and then gave me a refurbished battery from sprint (1800mah). Standard Battery Model BSMD7108L to be exact.

They said it was free and I could keep the old battery.

Score! Testing the battery as we speak.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iivisionii:
I wish I had your luck. I went to the sprint store that has a repair center near me. I told him the battery was defective and bulging. He took me to the back, got a new battery from the techs, then proceeded to ask me how I would like to pay the $50... I just said no thanks and left after. He didn't even look at the battery and only gave me the excuse that non-OEM chargers or overcharging the phone cause bulging...

Corporate store Northridge, CA no help with battery

Sprint Corporate Store Northridge, CA not helpful either. Battery life bad last 3 weeks. My battery slightly bulging, not to the point of pushing out the back cover. Have been to this store twice, saw different staff people each time. Neither would replace battery without charging me. Last person did at least try to help me find something else wrong with phone, like bluetooth problem, but I haven't had a lot of the issues others have had with their phones and I didn't want to get a refurbished phone.

The last person told me the "you've been leaving it on the charger too long, that's causing the problem" story.

I tried Sprint online customer service and all they would do was make out a service ticket for the Northridge store, but that went nowhere(that was 2nd store visit).

I gave up and put my sprint galaxy 4G phone battery in the phone now and ordered an Anker battery from ebay.

I purchased this phone over 17 months ago, so maybe that has something to do with not replacing battery for free.

Anyone in the Boston area, if you need anew battery with no hassle go to the one at 422 Boyleston(sp?) St. Went in told them that my battery was bulging, my warranty expired two weeks ago and that I do have TEP. Guy took my battery, spun it on the counter and gave me a new battery right out the baggie. Whole thing took less than 10 minutes..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] itzkpanda:
Me and my sister both got our S2's about a year ago from Amazonwireless. Last week her battery life dropped substantially and her phone would die at random times. We took her phone to our local Sprint store. We showed the guy at the counter that it spins on the table and he gave us two new batteries for free "just in case" something happens to the first one. It all took around 5 minutes.

You got lucky. I was told by 3 different stores (one corporate without repair, one reseller without repair, one reseller with repair [which is where the corp store sent me]) and all 3 told me tough cookies, go buy a new battery or deal with asurion. Phone purchased July 2012, so its still well within warranty.

Edit: this is the same repair location that gave me a new battery for free in December, no questions asked. So I guess either they stopped stocking the batteries in CT stores, or the policy has changed completely in the last 3 months.

If your battery is failing and it is within the 1 year manufacturer warranty from Samsung, they will replace it with no questions asked.

No help for a bloated battery in Northern Virginia. I called 7 stores within radius of Fairfax, including the corporate store at Fair Oaks Mall, and the uniform response was "We don't carry batteries." One store said they did swap batteries, but that they didn't have any for the SG II.

Onward to Amazon, I suppose.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Order one from amazon then contact Samsung you'll mail them your bloated one they'll mail you back a brand new one and then you have 2.

Checking in after a long hiatus with a swollen battery.

I've been running Universe Rom 3.0 for a long time now with no problems, but I just started to notice a lot of funny things happen. After 3 clean re flashes I said enough is enough, lets look for a new ROM. I noticed the one click ODIN is out for GB27 (that's how long I haven't trolled around here for) and that all of the roms for this build had excellent easy to follow instructions. Awesome, lets get Jelly beaned! I choose Project X, no need to go into why, but it was a hard choice. Everything went well enough until it was time for the phone to actually boot the launcher. The screen would flicker and I'd notice the 3g symbol change to the circle with a line through it and then the phone would shut off.

I almost sh!t a brick because I thought I Bricked it.

I booted into recovery and did the JB 2x wipe and re flashed then let it fully charge. Battery status at 100%, Boot up, start using my phone, life is good again. Then it starts flickering out on me and shutting off. I search about resetting the battery monitor programs... read a lot of flame wars and decide to just charge it again. 100%, and life is good until I get down to 40%. I vaguely remember that I saw it at 40%ish on the notification bar, but then when I plugged in the powered down phone, the battery charging icon was as low as it could go. I popped the back and yep... here I am, swollen battery.

I should have checked here first, of course, stupid me :silly: but I went to ebay and bought one that looked "ebay legit" for $8.88 before coming here and reading about the free sprint store swaps with heavy YMMV results. Im still going to try that as I can't trust that ebay battery right now... but I'll check back in with both experiences. Thanks xda.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Slobadon:
" Battery swollen... Will Sprint replace it?"

My answer is no. Went in with the battery in hand and the guy saw that it was bloated then got my phone number from me. wa wa. saw that I was well out of warranty and no insurance. They also didnt even have any in stock to give me and would be $49 to order one. He did plug it up to their tester and told me that a normal battery clocks in at 120 milliamps and that at around 300, the battery will no longer hold charge. Mine came in at 280.

Glad I got the cheapo ebay unit already on its way after all.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tkosngr:
When I was with US Cellular, you could go into any store and get a free replacement, as long as they had one in stock for your model. As much money as I'm saving with Sprint, I miss US Cellular. Such good service (cellular and customer).

They did the same to tomtom too. Microsoft invented the fat file systems so while it is annoying they sue over it at least they are not doing an apple and suing over things they didn't invent.

Motorola are being sued specifically for using the fat system for the formatting of internal storage, so to get around it they could pay ms a fee and then switch to a better system.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mazzmoney:
Just a question for anyone who ever used a hspa+ device. How fast is if compared to LTE in your experience? I've been extremely unhappy with sprint so far and don't see myself with them after this year so I want to know how fast the networks on aa&T or t–mobile are compared to it. Is it a lot slower?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ChrisHeel:
I'm came from T-Mo and think they are by far the worst major carrier out there. I had a G2x and got 9mbps down once (in Kansas City) and never more than 1mbps up. My LTE results have been around 11-12 down and 6-11 up so far, but certainly difficult to find. I left T-Mo mainly because I spent 50 hours/week in a major metro area with zero coverage. I'm sure it varies by area and personal experiences of course, but I'm patient enough to wait out the full LTE roll-out.

I've never had AT&T so I can't comment on them.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TMartin:
The 3G network is terrible at the moment, mostly because of the "Network Vision" which includes adding LTE and "improving" 3G. It will get better (a lot better actually) but it will take some time.

HSPA+ isn't really "4G". It's kinda like 3.5G lol. LTE in theory should be faster up and down.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mazzmoney:
I know it depends on where you live I just wanted a little comparison. Odds are I will get LTE before the end of the year so I don't want to go from something incredibly fast to super slow. If it's like half the speed I can deal with it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] greengoldmello:
HSPA is quite fast in the iteration that tmobile uses, but its also not as efficient with its use of spectrum as LTE is, making it a spectrum hog.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] zisix:
One company I consult for provides T-Mobile phones for employees. The Galaxy S2s they have regularly get 15-20Meg down, 2-5Meg up. This is in Plano, TX.

Considering today us the first time I've gotten LTE on my EVO LTE, and the best I could get was 8/8 (up/down), speed on HSPA+ is currently better.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] freerein100:
I am pretty sure on AT&T if the phone is LTE it is also HSPA+........but don't quote me on that

First of all, thank you for all your attention, I'm always amazed by what the internet community can do with its power.

As said on the camera thread, someone stole my phone and I can't afford to buy a new one and continue developing.

I've received a donation of 59$ from t5s user, 5 minutes ago so I decide to start this thread to thank all the kind-hearted people that would make a donation in my favour.

The goal is at least 200 €. Current donators are: (I'll use initials if the donator doesn't report his nickname)

t5s - 59,35 $

HiEj - 10 $

Quick question. My goal is to have the system language as english and the language on the keyboard dock as norwegian. Currently im only able to get norwegian layout on my keyboard when my system language is set to norwegian and keyboard is the asus standard one. Id like to use swiftkey. I hope someone has a smart tips for me!

It worked for me, so I could use Hackers Keyboard and an Swiss-German Keyboard on the Dock Layout.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Einride:
Try what exactly? :p

I had the same issue. I want to use English (US) for the system language and Norwegian for the keyboard. I switched to Asus keyboard and set it to Norwegian only, I set the Android keyboard to Norwegian only, and that worked. I'm getting my øæå's while still using US as system language :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] helfone:
Thanks for the replys! I did what both of you said and it now works almost perfectly. I have my special keyboards in most cases, ex. like when chatting on gtalk i have them. But when in chrome and replying to this message in the quick reply box I dont have them. I can get them by undocking and using the onscreen keyboard. But not while docked, not on any of the keyboards (stock, asus, swiftkey).

Any tips for this?

Just tried the same scenario in boat browser and it works there, so seems to be a chrome problem. I really prefer chrome, so if anyone could help me out that I'd apprechiate it!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] modesty1:
Dear friends, i need your help about something.

I have bought a USA version galaxy s3 that is said to be unlocked for GSM, the model number is GT-I9300MBDDBT

Maybe i was too hasty to order the phone before getting more information about it's version.

I live in EUROPE will this model work in Europe without problems? or should i cancel my order, i also want to use the 3G.

Please help me , i still have the option to cancel the shipment :crying:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JetBlue:
I'm pretty sure that's a European phone not a USA S3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Vorfidus:
This. The GT-I9300 is the international edition of the S3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mook1e:
The full details of the GSM capabilities of the Verizon GS3 have not been released, but preliminary details indicate it will work in Europe (or any other GSM serviced area) for voice, but will be limited to Edge data speeds. As I said, this is not confirmed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Vorfidus:
Yeah we know that, but his model number is the international version. Not US.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Forever Justice:
Ok have searched around, and have found nothing before asking.

I started rooting back when I had the Samsung Moment, Yeah, while back.

Anyhow, I could be wrong, but if I remember correctly....when you rooted(even when windows 7 came out) it was required to have xp files in it.

Having Windows Home Edition should be Ok right? I have not tried and trickling last thoughts and asking if need be before I flash!

Have not seeen in any root directions for siii that anything else was needed except Windows PC!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] matrixzone5:
If I remember correctly my tech buddy from school told me that windows 7 and xp are related to each other in that there are xp files that allow windows 7 to run lightly in the ram just like xp.

And btw you should be dine one home edition that's what I rooted my s3 from.

For the life of me I can't get the Vol Up + Vol Down + Power button combo to bring up any menu options in the recovery mode on my Galaxy Nexus. This is a GSM from the Play store. I'm running stock Jelly Bean setup. I was trying to unlock the bootloader and do the factory image install, but I kept getting a boot cycle. I tried to go into recovery to data wipe, but I couldn't ever get the menu options to come up, just have the Android on his back with the exclamation point. Anyone else see this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
that is the stock recovery.

press power and vol down and up and you'll get the menu.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dmarmstr:
Yeah, that's the problem, pushing those buttons don't bring up a menu for me...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
yes it does, if you're on the screen with the android on its back.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
Wait, let's see if you're not confusing things.

To unlock: with the device off, 3bc (3 button combo) power+vol up+vol down. Hold it until you see bootloader screen. Connect the device to pc previously set up with fastboot, and in a command line, type 'fastboot oem unlock'. Accept on the device.

When in recovery (accessable by using volume keys in bootloader screen, also allows to reboot bootloader, start system), press vol up (or vol up+power, can't remember right now) to see stock recovery menus.

Nevermind recovery right now, follow efrant's guide on flashing stock/unlock. Set up fastboot. Don't use toolkits.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Nope. It's power and volume up to get into the recovery menu from the recovery screen. Power and volume up and down is to get into the bootloader.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bayint Naung:
I tried power and volume up. Nothing happened!!!

I flahsed back to stock.... and got bootloop. since I didn't flash data image.

Hi

I was playing order and chaos for like 20 mins. And my phone got sooo soo hot. It crashed. Was wondering does this phone have a tendency to overheat? Or what could it cause this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GuestK007:
quick question. are you overclocking the gpu and/or cpu? I haven't played the game but toggling off 4g mode or going to wifi only would help. if it is actually getting burning hot to the touch I would consider RMA'ing the unit if it is doing this all as stock. Also if the room temperature is hot that can contribute to this as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] orphan22:
The phone is actually stock. That is why so strange. It crashed. And wouldnt turn back on untill normal temp again

Taken from the release log from Nokia:

Counters app requires particular phone software. You can check operating system version in Settings>about>more information>"OS version". You should have either 8773 or 8779 in the string. Check for updates here.

So I don't think you need to have Nokia drivers, I'll report back tomorrow with my other phone (LG Optimus 7) which has been changed to Nokia marketplace and phone info, all the other apps works except camera extras..

but the main thing it shocked me is, I just notice that Camera Extras options are shown in my camera settings

I just noticed that this morning == yet,I'm not sure it's already installed in the ROM or it's after me installing camera extra
