[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 4ktvs:
Well in your case they should let you do it.

You should tell them that you want a S3 and you will not take less due to all of that you have had to deal with. If that does not work then tell them you will go to the BBB and the FCC and why you won't take the phones they want to give you.

I have had some issues with the razr's, but 15 is messed up and I hope you can get it fixed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] skater95:
Yeah, this is my 15th.

That's what I thought as well, but nope. I'll try again tomorrow though.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] trafalger888:
Not a bad swap for you at all in my opinion...you came out ahead in this one by far
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 4ktvs:
Thanks man and I can't wait to get it. I am or have become Pro samsung and am really liking what they make.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] m4bandit:
Honestly, this just gets you laughed at. No one cares. Especially not the person on the other end of the line. You get put on mute and jokes get made. You lucked out and got a goober tech and a goober supervisor.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 4ktvs:
Make no miss take It was very hard to get them to do this. You have no idea all I had to say to them to get them to replace this phone. You really don't know what your talking about when it comes to what I had to say, the way I said it or how high I had to go to get them to do this.

I will just say they were not laughing at the fact they could get sued for false advertising.

Edit: before this, I went to the BBB and FCC about this:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCbvDEewcJU&feature=channel&list=UL

I will just say they cared to call with a Verizon exc to fix it. You really don't know what your talking about when you bring what I did/I must have just had a stupid rep or JUST luck.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Vorfidus:
Aha. I had a tech support woman try to argue with me today about where refurbished phones come from when I called up to get a replacement for my faulty S3 (data issue). I got to switch from the blue to white for my troubles :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 4ktvs:
So you wanted to go from blue to white and they tried to argue with you on that and you won. Cool

They said I could only get a white one and that was the one I was hoping for in the first place.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Vorfidus:
No I ordered the blue. Then when I tried to get a new replacement for my data issue, they said no. I figure why am I giving you a mint phone with one hardware issue for a broken/fixed phone. So I ended up getting a white one, which is what I wanted. Did I mention I upgraded from a 16 to 32 also? Haha.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 4ktvs:
So you got them to swap your blue 16GB S3 for a NEW white 32GB S3. Cool

I guess I should have gone for a 32GB, but oh well this phone is going to rock any ways. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Vorfidus:
Be rocking much more when Adam and his team of nerds unlock the bootloader! And I do use the term nerd in the most polite and respectful of ways :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TheDiabolicaL1:
You're awesome man! You should think about going over to your old Razr forums and giving them the heads up on how you got it done. Key words to use, talking points, etc. Kind of a how to guide.. if you will. :cool:

I got the white one too.. sure looks nice. Wait til you get it.. :good: You're gonna love it!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 4ktvs:
Thanks

I am thinking about it. I did make a small thread that I was able to do it, but not how yet. I want to see if they really care or not before I put time in to it.

I would do it if they did not seem so hard core about keeping there phone/ hating samsung so much, but I will think about it. For now I will try and PM any one who wants to know how.

I know I will, because when I went and played with one in the store to make sure flash was working. I knew I had to have it. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TheDiabolicaL1:
I bet more then half of them would make the switch if you provided the keys to how to do it. They just talk **** cause they can but secretly, they want it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 4ktvs:
You are Likely right and I will update that thread with a "how to" and try from there. I am not the best at this, but I am likely there best shot at getting a S3 for free.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TheDiabolicaL1:
I agree! :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 4ktvs:
I just posted some of the things I did and I hope it help's some of them. I now just need a case for this new 4.8in phone. ( I hope this is about as far as they go with size, becuase much bigger would make it very hard to use one handed.)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Vorfidus:
Otterbox defender is pretty nice. I'd recommend it. I also have the lumi series case pre ordered from spigen sgp as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 4ktvs:
I have that case for my Razr and I don't think I will need a $50 case or at some places $30. I just want the srceen save from drops of about 5ft or so. I may get it AGAIN any way, becuase I don't want to pay 500 used or 600 new if any thing happened.

Note: I never got a case for my S2 and to this day it's fine. It's screen is 100% fine even with 2-3 drop's, one was 6ft or so up. I know the S3 is not the unkillable SOB that the S2 is so some case would be a good idea. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Vorfidus:
Yeah the S3 has been known to crack from a drop a foot up. It's a sensitive little device.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 4ktvs:
I am just glad I looked at the youtube drop test before hand. I am getting some hit's on my thread on the razr forum, but not a lot yet. It seem's they may be hoping it work's in the back of there heads, but for now think I am full of it. I will know for 100% sure by the 16th when my 16GB S3 get's here.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TheDiabolicaL1:
I have the otterbox defender and feel it is well built. I recommend it as well.

---------- Post added at 09:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:33 PM ----------

Good luck to you man.. that's bull**** what moto and vzw did to the razr. assholes. I hope more people hose down VZW and get a free S3 out of the deal because of you. Hell, even if one person does it- job well done.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 4ktvs:
I got that same case of my razr and now that case won't work on the S3. Do you guy's think I could get verizon to give me a otterbox for my S3 too?

I am still not sure yet, but I don't really want to spend more than I have too on a case.

I was dissapointed about the case at first, but I started to like it better later on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TheDiabolicaL1:
If you bought your otterbox from Verizon, **** it- why not? Give it a try! :laugh: You've already pushed harder than most and got more for it.. Why stop now? haha
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 4ktvs:
I hope so too, becuase of how they treated me when I had data issues with this phone and Reseting the POS over and over with 10+call's to 611 about this going over head's and going into verizon store's 4-5 times to try and show I was not making this up. I had to go to the BBB and the FCC and tell them verizon must be throttling me becuase 200-600kbs DL on 4GLTE EVERY were is BS. Well I will just say they started to care A LOT more then knowing they were in the *****er if they did not fix it.

Edit: this is the lie and BS they try and tell every one:

Why did Google/Motorola remove Flash?

Adobe Flash is not removed from the device; however, due to Adobe's discontinuation of Flash development, Flash Player is no longer preloaded and is not available for download from Google Play to your device. Existing installations of Flash Player may or may not play Flash video properly. Alternatively, the new HTML5 standard is on your device and is supported for Web video .

I heard Flash was no longer available, but mine seems to be working

Existing installations of Flash Player may or may not play Flash video properly. This will vary depending on the specific device configuration and on the website.

I purchased this phone because it had flash capability, why was it removed?

Flash has not been removed, it simply will not be supported moving forward, as Adobe is no longer supporting the development of Flash Player for Android 4.0

Is there an alternate application or something I can use in place of flash?

Alternatively, the new HTML5 standard is supported for Web video found on your device. Many sites already support this standard and should be viewable with no additional apps.

While we do not endorse or guarantee these solutions, or provide support for them, some owners have reported success using a 3rd party Android Applications like "Adobe AIR". You can search the Google Play Store for 3rd party applications that are available that may enable you to run the flash video on your device without a browser, providing the convenience of a native app or browser.

What is HTML5?

HTML5 is a new standard for rich web content that is already prevalent and in wide use today.

What about the Apps in Google play, will those that required flash be updated?

Some applications may be impacted, but most developers are working to ensure compatibility. You can check the specific specs for the app you are interested in.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 4ktvs:
When I went into the verizon store to make the last call that ended with me getting a S3. You should have seen the look on the reps face that just told me it could not be done. After I got off the phone he asked if I got what I wanted and I said yes I got a S3. His face was like WTF.

I did not buy it from verizon, so I don't think that will work that way, but I may just go for it any way, becuase I think it's BS that I have to buy a new case becuase they messed my old phone up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Vorfidus:
Exchange cases :p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 4ktvs:
That's what I will likely do then, because I just did the "impossible". LOL

Edit: how do you think I should go about this. Ask if I can swap case's in the store or wait for it to be shipped. I am not even sure if they will take a used case, but I will give it a shot.

Edit2: I just got it, but will have to wait for the battery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] demarcmj:
You can push for the SGSIII if you want, but if that doesn't work out I would take the Rezound over the Razr any day of the week.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 4ktvs:
I got them to do it and the phone in here right now, so I am good.

Edit: Got it up and running, all I have to say so far is I am glad they messed my old phone up. 4G works just as good if not better than my Razr so far.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 4ktvs:
Thanks for telling me to do that. None have been able to do it yet, but some are now trying.

The poll I put up seem's to show more than half would trade there razr's for the S3, so you were right.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TheDiabolicaL1:
Woohooo!!

Tell them to send you into a store to get the battery. I went from Nexus to s3 song know how it is. Just call upbtexh support and they will note the account stating yo uh still need a battery. I did this and the shipped battery came in a week late. I got to batteries for free.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 4ktvs:
Some one was just able to do it thanks to me. And one more look's like he is getting one.

This may be the start of verizon/Motorola eating some crap. I hope they think twice about braking all this crap the next time they push out a "update".

Hello i want to ask if there is any guide how to unlock this phone to all GSM networks. I am O2 and want to buy phone from T-mobile from my friend, but T-mobile lock their phones. I was searching for some guide,but i found just bootloader unlocking and i dont know if it is the same because i dont understand these things much.

Maybe here is a thread about this, i dont know. If yes, just give me a link and this thread can be deleted in order to dont spam forum.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
You can't do it without getting an unlock code from T-Mobile.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mmarekk11:
And they wont give it to me, will they? :D Isnt there any gnerator which can generat that code from IMEI?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
Well there is a generator, but you can't have it :) Actually carriers often unlock devices for a fee.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mmarekk11:

Hi, There is no guide but you can instructions on unlocking a phone, there are a lot of methods available so for. I always suggest, for the unlocking, contacting our telecom service provider is the one of the ways to get the unlocking code or contacting service provider like theunlockspot.com might be an another way to get an unlocking code. The direct unlocking codes can be received in those two ways I mentioned. Thanks.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChodTheWacko:
Hey Everyone,

I've been trying to figure this out for a while.

Is anyone seeing choppy scrolling on their Note?

I was just watching the HD demo movie for 'townsmen premium'.

When you get halfway through the movie, to the gameplay section, the movie pans slowly to the left, and it is noticibly choppy.

I experience the same problem on backgrounds of 2d scroller games sometimes, like broken sword, or garfield's revenge.

Is this happening to you? I always believed it's just that the CPU/GPU are underpowered for the Note's resolution (which is why i keep pushing against a resolution bump). It's my biggest reason for considering the Note 2.

It only really glaring when the entire background is scrolling - most of the time it's just fine. I sometime wonder if there's just not enough frame memory or something to scroll the entire screen. (yes, I made that up).

If it's NOT happening to you, can you post:

1) What ROM you are using

2) Are you overclocked, if so to what

3) Are you using any relevant settings (i.e. force GPU rendering)

4) Anything else possibly relevant.

- Frank
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrpiggae:
I have no stutter or scrolling issues, even with live wallpapers. Here is my current setup:

ROM: Clean Note 4.00 (LRK)

Kernel: Note Core V12

Launcher: Nova Launcher Prime 1.2.2, 7 pages filled with 5x5 widgets.

No overclock, Force GPU Rendering is turned on.

I use to experience lag and stutter on GB, but ICS helped much to improve that and this current Clean Note/Note Core/Nova setup that I'm using feels very smooth. Some poorly coded live wallpapers will still stutter and I get occasional launcher redraw when the web browser has eaten up tons of RAM, but all in all I'm very pleased.

Hope that helps.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richlum:
The smoothest combination I've found is:

CleaNote v5 ROM (v4 was just as good) plus

Notecore v12 OC (this runs at 1.6ghz and is a little smoother when navigating around, opening and closing apps, playing games etc.)

I have force gpu rendering off. I think Gavin said in his kernel thread that with the optimizations in his kernel it's not necessary, and may even impede performance, or negate the benefits of the kernel.

I don't watch a lot of video, but hd YouTube clips work fine for me.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Written:
I'm using the same as richlam, the scrolling performance is improved when running a good overclocked Kernel with a lightweight ROM.

Hey guys, I am experiencing some issues with my HTC Sensation music player. I must note that these issues only started after the major update to Android 4.0/IceCreamSandwich. The problems are to do with the sound enhancer within the music player. I hear a very loud pop when I change tracks, this only happens when I am using the Equalizer mode for the sound enhancer, happens for every setting (pop,rock,r&b, bass booster ect.). It's very annoying since I prefer using the Equalizer modes over the SRS or No Effects. Note that it only happens with headphones/earphones on (equalizer only works with earphones on anyway), and I've tried a couple of different sets and it isn't the problem.

Has anybody else experienced the same problem? And how do I fix the problem?

P.S In addition to this, when turning my phone on with the top right hand button, it sometimes takes several seconds for the display to actually turn on. Again, it only started happening after the update.

Thanks,

Dfdc2r

about s5300 firmware, it's realy strange.

i did a few firmwares from dd dump to some devices, there is 3 kinds of formats:

rfs (like galaxy mini, young) and ext4 (like i9001 for example) they can be flashed via odin after the dump (just need to make tar of them)

and there is one more kind - SGS2/SGS3.

in that format after the dump it can't posible to flash the img via odin, need to convert the img to SGS2 ext4 specific format with this tool.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1081239

i just tried now to make a firmware for s5300 that can be flash via odin and it realy strange. It does not work in any way.

i dumpt the system partition (mmcblk0p7) and i try to make tar for odin and it fail. when odin coming to system img he stops and says fail.

i chacked the img and i find out that is like SGS2 format (mmcblk0p is too sgs2 partition kind).

i tried to convert him with ext4-utils and is still not work.

any idea how it posible to make dump from the system to odin?

sory about the english, it's realy bad..

Ive been having problems with my data for a while. My conclusion is its not any roms or radios ive used, its the phone. T-mobile thinks the same thing. After seeing bruce's CM10 thread clogged up with posts about it i figured we could discuss it here.
[HTC Sensation] monkor:
A little more explanation would help. Problems with data is vague. Specifically, what about your data connection is considered a problem ie is it not connecting? Is it disconnecting? Do you only get 3G or 4G
[HTC Sensation] mike565sd:
I used to have data issues all the time with CM9 & CM10. Sometimes reflashing the ROM would help, but it got to the point where I had to flash a Sense ROM to get my data working and then flash CM again. That would work for a few days, but then my data would start cutting in and out again, usually after turning off WiFi. I finally formatted my SD card and have been free of data issues for over a week now.

It seems that perhaps some file or other from Sense ROMs that is left on the SD card is causing a conflict with AOSP and/or T-Mobile's APNs.

I just did a quick format. I forget to mention it in my previous post, but I also changed my radio and ril from the latest ones to the official T-Mobile ones - 11.69A.3504.00U_11.23.3504.07_M2 and 4.0.0024HMQ.

[HTC Sensation] blackchad:
threw the OP up this morning before an interview just to get people to shut up in bruce's thread about it. most people with issues that sound similar to mine dont seem as bad. basically, i just have terrible service. even in places where i shouldnt. my network when i get to either 3g or H just bounces between the two. even the one time i actually got full bars of 3g it just kept bouncing to H and then bouncing back. if i have two bars of edge in my livingroom and try to send a text, itll just drop the service completely. if someone makes a call to me and im on 2 bars or less of any network it will just drop the network completely. happened once i moved from vegas to phoenix, flashed every ril/radio combination i could find. every one is the same. talked to other users in close proximity to me with a sensation and they said they get great service everywhere. happens on every rom as well. messed with APN settings, went to the store and got a new sim card. everything. Like i said, im certain my issues are worse than everyone elses but itd be interesting to see what different groups of people are experiencing with data issues to see if its something with our phones.

BTW - tmo at the store said "buy a new phone" AWESOME customer service i must say.
[HTC Sensation] mike565sd:
After a few days, my data would just stop working. I would have 3 or 4 bars but the 4g or 3g icon would appear for a second and then disappear over and over.
