[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaalakiota:
I'm using Sandvold's ICS rom and would really like to post in that thread but apparently I have to post 10 times elsewhere first. I don't know if this issue is related to the rom but it's a decent bet.

My entire text message storage has randomly deleted itself a couple of times, with no obvious cause. I go from several thousand messages to a totally empty inbox. The only reason I can think of for this is lack of space in internal memory, but I don't currently have a low memory warning
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] filip8600:
You could allso PM sandvold...

BTW, what is up with the Captchas?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaalakiota:
Yeah true, although he seems to be inactive at the moment.

My favourite one is this (not from xda): imm.io/yNNs

(Why can't I post links either? So annoying!)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Psycho_alchemist:
I started to backup my texts with SMS backup & restore, free app from the store.

It is also syncing with dropbox.

Although my main reason for that was I constantly wipe and flash new ROMs, might save you some troubles.

Are you sure you configured correctly your a2sd script? Seems like a memory misreading related issue.

try moving back sms app to nand...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaalakiota:
I'm not using a2sd at all, just nand memory (with data++ hboot). It was causing me a bunch of problems before (and seems to be one of the main problems with various desire ROMs). Since you're forced to choose an a2sd option in aroma for Sandvold's ROM I just picked stock a2sd and didn't run "a2sd install".

The sms backup + dropbox thing is great though, cheers for that suggestion, I've got it backing up every day now

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] androholic:
So glad to have you guys here man! :) To anyone who prefers to watch Rom reviews before installing them, I personally HIGHLY recommend their channel! In my opinion 80% of Rom reviews don't accomplish what they are intended to, which is to allow the user to experience the Rom, learn of any bugs, and highlight unique features. Imraan & Abdul are tedious when it comes to digging through a Rom & reporting everything you need to know in order to decide if it's for you. I followed them on the HTC Sensation & LG G2X, and I'm so glad they're gonna be contributing to our T999! We desperately need some good coverage on Roms for this phone like Sprint has from qbking77, and I know All About Androids will fill the void. Seriously guys, check out their channel, it's a MUST subscribe, especially if you have the Nexus 7 or Asus TF300 also! You guys Rock Bro!

Edit: One more thing I forgot to mention is that these guys have also personally responded to any comment or question that I've ever posted on their channel. That goes to show how much they appreciate their viewer's & subscribers. Believe me when I tell you that I've got nothing to gain by telling you guys how awesome it is that they're covering the T999, but I've been a big fan of their channel for quite a long time, and their videos have been so helpful to me, so I gotta represent for my YouTube Homie's, lol!

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] AllAboutAndroids:
Hey man, it's quite simple actually. Remove the battery cover as well as the battery pack and they'll be a sticker on the phone indicating the model number. The T-Mobile model is the SGH-T999 :)

thannks for this thread guys

im new to this and was wondering how are you guys keeping ytour data/contacts/apps when you change roms?

thanks

mikey
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] AllAboutAndroids:
Hey! Just make sure that you have enabled Google's Backup. It will restore all your contacts after a ROM flash. Now, if you always want to keep your data, there are tons of apps that do so. I recommend Titanium Backup for some specific system Settings and preferences to be backed up as well as the caller log etc and I recommend SMS Backup&Restore which can save all of your messages :)

Only getting 3G service

i have a T-Mobile phone which is unlocked and i got it fully working with AT&T. Right now I am using a the Stock ROM. What I can't figure out is why I am only getting 3G service when people in my house who have T-Mobile are getting 4G and people in my house with the new iPhones who are also on AT&T are getting LTE service. Does it have to do with the APN settings or is it because I'm using a T-Mobile phone instead of a At&T phone.

Thanks so much in advance,

~Aqua

P.S. I love your videos! :D

edited: Sorry I forgot to say that I am in the United States.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] AllAboutAndroids:
Hey Aqua, sorry to say this...but you actually only have the HSPA+ Galaxy SIII. Since T-Mobile does not support LTE yet, their S3 version is not an LTE capable device. TO fully utilize your new AT&T line, I recommend you selling your S3 and getting one on a Contract over there for a cheaper price or add some more to purchase the LTE version of the phone.

~Imraan
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] yayitsthatkid:
Great Reviews!

I actually watched the Wicked Rom Review before flashing it on my phone. It was my first time rooting a phone so I wanted as much info as I could get and your vids did just that :laugh::good:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] AquaWater:
Thank you for the reply, but what I don't understand is that this phone came from the T-Mobile store. And I do have a contract with them. But it wasn't bought under my account name. The phone was bought from a friend who worked at a T-mobile stand. So why I don't get 4G or LTE service I'm still puzzled. I am so sorry for being an idiot on this, but I'm really dont understand why?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] AllAboutAndroids:
Every T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy SIII model is the SGH-T999 and that phone itself does not support LTE connectivity :(
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] AquaWater:
But it does support 4G service, i know this because my sister actually has a TMobile Account and she is getting 4G service on hers. But for me I can only pick up 3G service. So that is question 1.

And for question two, is basically your saying I would need to get a AT&T model version of the phone in order to receive the LTE or 4G service that is provided in my area?

Thanks so much for helping me out here.

~Aqua
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kekuta:
No LTE on SGH T999

I have the tmobile version of the S3 running on At&t. The SGH T999 does not have an LTE firmware. The most you will get is HSPA+. You will definitely need to get the AT&T version to take advantage of their LTE network.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] AquaWater:
OK thank you everyone who has helped me understand this. I really have no idea why it wasn't registering in my head. I 100% get it now. I also called AT&T and i did a 3G speed test and I'm getting like 700Kbps and 50Kbps up. which is horrible. I don't even think I'm getting HSPA+. I'm like a step below.

So i was talking to him and he suggested that I could get a refurbished version of the phone for $100 and all i would need to do is extend my contract a little by 6 months. Now Since my phone is factory unlocked I could sell my phone and easily get the $100 for the phone plus it comes with a 90 day warranty. And for $5.99/month I could get the insurance package which if something happens they will replace it for $199.00. Which isn't a bad idea. But he said a lot of times people buy the phones and decides they just simply don't like it or would rather have a different one and since it has been used, they have to advertise it as " refurbished."

So what my question is, is has anyone ever bought a refurbished phone and had success with it? Or has anyone had any horror stories with the getting a refurbished one?

Thanks in advance everyone.

~Aqua
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bike__52:
If you are still trying to sell your SGH-I999 I would be very interested. I am in the opposite situation as you I have a Gaqlaxy S II and went to t-Mobile and now I don't have 3g/4g so I have to find a T-mobile Phone. Please message me if possible

hi guys, i'm on cm9 alpha 10 but tomorrow i really need a rom with full working gps and data connection.. i'll use google maps all the day!

please tell what i have to put on my phone!

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Hetalk:
CM9a10 has full working gps and data. I never encountered any bug with those 2 features.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] coolpix90:
i love cm9 but sometimes i lost connection of gps and maps crashes.. i tried every combination ( cm9 and firmware ) but using it for a long time is not stable yet... =)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Hetalk:
I never had that problem, but I'm not a heavy gps user.

In that case go for the latest stock rom for your region.

Remember to flash xxkpe (twice) first then the firmware of your choice. But I'm sure you know that. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aaronuser:
I'm able to pick up this phone for a really low price. Would it work on my Tmobile network? Appreciate the help.

Sorry, oops...meant to throw this in Q&A
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] netbuzz:
No, not the Sprint one. That one will only work on Sprint.

The HSPA GSM version, like the one sold in the Play Store, will work. That's what I have on TMobile. It will also work on ATT and other GSM carriers, the ones that take SIM cards.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
Spring is using CDMA network. TMobile is using GSM network. They are totally different networks. So, no. But what you can do is buy the unlocked GSM (HSPA+) Galaxy Nexus on Play Store for only 350bucks ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] squashpile:
I'm about to order my second Nexus from the play store. Using the T-Mobile $30 plan on the current phone. I have already ordered the Sim Card Activation kit for the other. The service has been very good.

u said in your other post that it is a known problem..did u ask around in the development thread?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ahmed93:
problem with the ice bean maybe?

try downloading it again
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninehuss:
Full Wipe

You should have done a full wipe (Wipe cache, Wipe Data/Factory Reset, Wipe Dalvik Cache) and formatted data, cache and system in mount and storage via CWM before restoring the back up restore of ice bean.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Someguyfromhell:
Factory reset = Wipe cache + Wipe data

So, basically, you need to do factory reset, wipe dalvik cache, format system and then restore the backup.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forza11:
(posted this in the wrong forum earlier)

Is there a way to disable the remote sim protocol on the S3? My carkit (RNS510 premium from Volkswagen) connects via this protocol but it's not the preferred method. There is a workarround, i can manually disconnect and then connect to the carkit via the phone (i think it connects via a2dp or something), but it's bit of a hassle. If I could just disable rsap my carkit will automaticlly connect via the other protocol (like it connects with an iphone)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rsap:
If your phone is rooted you can rename /system/lib/bluez-plugin/sap.so. This should remove the SAP profile from your phone. Perhaps you have to repeat the pairing.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbathome:
I am so happy that rSAP is available now - before I had to root and install 3rd party software. But usually you can decide while pairing which mode you like - at least my Audi asks which connection mode I would like. Maybe you have to unpair first on both devices and the pair again.

Out of interest: Why is rSAP not your preferred method? The phone itself uses less energy, reception is better due to the build in antenna and also the phonebook features are available in the car.

The only reason for me would be the lack of data connection on the phone which is only true if your car does not provide the Wifi Hotsport function - with this my S3 is connecting to the Internet and also the car has access for online traffic info, Google Earth, etc...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Davidoffxda:
Grrr, why it does not want to work with MMI on A7? and he wants have disconnected, doh :mad:

I made the update, but nothing. It fails after the request of 6 digit PIN (indeed, I had 16 digits on my old BB Storm). Also with that 3rd party app, it doesn't work... what car do you have and what did you exactly to make it works?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stierney:
Oooh...which firmware version did rsap support come in?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Davidoffxda:
XXB LG8 for sure.

Will you try?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andre Cinelli:
Galaxy SIII x RSAP Vollks

Hi there!

My name is Andre and I installed a Volkswagen Bluetooth kit with the remote SIM feature.

As I paired my Galaxy SIII with the kit, my phone asked me a couple of things that I auto answered yes...

The first one was about giving permission to access my SIM.

After that my phone always entered in remote SIM mode with the kit.

Today I remade the pairing and when my phone asked to enable access to the kit for my SIM... I answered NO (and checked the box "do not ask me this again").

Now me, my phone and my car seem to be understanding each other. :)

Hope that this was of any help,

Andre

[XPERIA X10 General] murmeljenta:
My Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 is 2 years old. The last few months, I have had problems charging the phone and connecting it to the computer.

In order to charge, I have to "wiggle" the cable into the right position. When I try connecting to the computer via cable, the phone appears to disconnect again within few seconds, and then reconnect - I am returned to the screen that shows the green android figure and that asks if I want to connect to the computer.

I have tried with a new USB cable. Charging gets easier (not so much "wiggling" required), but the problem with connecting to the computer is the same.

Does anyone know what the problem might be? Is this a hardware weakness, so that Sony should repair it? Or should I just buy a new phone?
[XPERIA X10 General] lakshay03:
Hardware Weakness
[XPERIA X10 General] murmeljenta:
Should probably rephrase... Is this a KNOWN hardware weakness with this type of phone, so that it should be covered by the reclamation rights?

If not, the store will probably claim that this is my fault, or a device only expected to last 2 years, so that I have to buy a new phone.
[XPERIA X10 General] danniehayabusa:
Had a similar problem, solution?? Well is easy, if look (in your phone) into thd little microusb hole, youll find a little object like a sheet. Just move it. Up or down with a little screwdriver. Try the usb if not working move it upside down. JUST DO IT WITH CAUTION THAT PIECE IS TOO WEAK AND IS DANGEROUS. IT WORKED FOR ME BUT I CANNOT WARRANTY ITLL WORK FOR YOU
[XPERIA X10 General] xdomx:
I've got the same problem.. but there is no sw solution (of course..), so you have to fix it manualy.. I wanted to do it myself, but there are too small micro ****s, so I left that... :D I'll try it later..
[XPERIA X10 General] Hzu:
I just had the same problem as yours and I asked for a technician to solder a new USB port for me. And he did it, I no longer have this problem. It is a very annoying problem, sometimes when you're transferring datas, the USB would disconnect with a just a slight bump.
[XPERIA X10 General] alex_ncfc:
I've got this problem on my x10 also, but beware - it may be something as simple as the USB cable is worn out. I thought my problem was with the phone, until I used a car charger with it and it charged perfectly - no wiggling of the cable required.
[XPERIA X10 General] murmeljenta:
Thanks for all the replies.

Unfortunately, it is easier to buy a new phone than to go through the 3-weeks process of having a service center determine if the problem can be solved and if it will cost me.

Fortunately, I'm able to use another phone to copy the data from my memory card onto my computer, before I switch to a new phone

To the last poster: As written, I tried with a new cable, without much luck.

GSM-PATCH for ICS CDMA ROMs

Hey guys,

after a long period of time and many failed experiments it finaly works! Here you go, a working GSM-Patch for Black Widow CM9. It is fully tested and working great! After that I will rebuild it for AOKP roms.

How to install a CDMA Rom on your GSM device (example for Black Widow CM9):

- Download files:

GSM-Patch Black Widow CM9

Black Widow CM9 Rom

For LATAM users there is another version of the GSM patch to give stable Wifi functionality: http://minus.com/mbePLWOKUu/

*Thanks to hacker812c

Normal installation (stock system):

- Flash the rom as usual using any suitable recovery (bootstrap CMW, Bootmenu) and don't reboot

- Flash the GSM-Patch

- reboot, done!

Advanced installation (2nd system):

- download the rom and copy it to your sdcard. Then download Rom Converter (Project Lense) from Play Store, run it, click on "convert" and select the rom. The new file will include "BM_" in the filename, that's the converted rom for Bootmenu.

- Toggle second system in Bootmenu recovery

Note: Wipe Data, cache and dalvik cache!

- flash the rom

- flash the GSM-Patch

- flash the Camera-Patch

- reboot, done!

NOTE: This installation method is similar to the most other roms. Not every Rom needs to be converted by Rom Converter for making it usable with Bootmenu recovery. In the following Quote I will list all Roms together with all needed files (like GSM-Patch etc.):

* Thanks to:

- andlaw for his great work on Black Widow Rom!

- Whirleyes for his great Bootmenu!

- Kholk for his knoweledge!

- spryte for the big support and making this possible!

- nitroglycerine33 for his great work on Eclipse Razr ICS v1.2

- All Devs for their great work on Razr Roms!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] HSD-Pilot:
I would hit the Thanks Button 1000 times if i could...Thanks dude, i got my Widow Back :cool:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] whirleyes:
Disclaimer. I don't make BootMenu patch for BlackWidow (officially)...

better remove my nickname from it.. If you modified it, just put your name.

Lesson learned.

- I should signed whatever zip file I give to public. So that other people can verify if that is really made by me / by others (using my nickname)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pseudoheld:
wow awesome! thanks a million!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
