[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Sleeps17:
Does anyone else have this sort of issue using T-Mobile? My Blaze is showing that its connected to "AT&T", rather than T-Mobile. No, my phone is not unlocked, nor do I have an AT&T SIM card, or the service. If I enable 3G/4G, the icon will not appear, and data won't function.

This has also happened a few times with my old T-Mo phone, the HTC G2. Its very annoying, because I can't use my service. Seems to be happening quite often with my Blaze, which has prompt me to create this topic for answers, hopefully. So if you've noticed this too, and have an explanation and/or fix, please reply.

Thanks.

I have that happen to me when T-Mo isn't available and AT&T is. That's what happens when you roam on their network. More often this happens in my house as AT&T has better signal penetration.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Sleeps17:
I don't get good signal at my house either. Mostly EDGE with 1 or 2 bars. Sometimes though, 3G or 4G.

Um.. also, I have Data Roaming set to off, all the time.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] AwesomeTurtle:
Voice roaming and data roaming are two different entities, if I'm not mistaken. Blocking data roaming will do only that.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Sleeps17:
So, my phone is basically "voice roaming"? I don't know too much about roaming, other than the fact that I think it allows you to use your device on someone else's network with your T-Mobile SIM, right? And if you do that, the bill is generally more expensive? Anyway, if this is whole situation is completely normal, then I guess I'm done.. still, I find it annoying.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] crimzn0:
Tmobile has a deal with att in areas where tmobile has no service you are technically roaming on att towers but your and still paying normal rates. I was worried about my vacation where I had no coverage and att was a partner carrier and service still worked. confirmed by tmobile rep when I inquired about it. so it can happen from time to time
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] anactoraaron:
No voice roaming fee- check settings

There's no such thing as any kind of voice roaming charge. If you lose your T-Mo coverage and there's an AT&T tower that T-Mo shares with AT&T (they both often share where there is little population to maintain service in those areas) then once you get back into T-Mo coverage your phone should automatically switch back to T-Mo. You can also select the network manually to the T-Mo network by going to Settings>Wireless and Network>Mobile Networks>Network Operators>Search Now. IF T-Mo shows up then tap T-Mo (wait up to 5 minutes) and volia! You will be back on T-Mo's network and data will be enabled again. You could also just turn off the phone and turn it back on (if I'm not mistaken the phone will select the network automatically). I always run into this when travelling back to Indiana for the holidays when I go through Wisconsin.

EDIT: Domestic data roaming is free but you have a tiny data cap defined here: http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-3299

So it is in fact safe to turn on data roaming. But 10-50 Megs will be burned up fast.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Sleeps17:
Wow.. so basically, my phone was only just roaming... I'm such a newb.. :(

Thanks for the clarificatons. Yeah, I was restarting my device to get it back onto T-Mobile. I'll try that way you mentioned.

Topic resolved.

Just recently purchased one of these for my S3 from MagicSim....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3z95ipVOju8&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Am happy with it and as a previous customer I got it for £35 rather than £45 using a discount code they sent me "GALAXYS3DEAL"

Thought it may be of use to others on the forum ;)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] actng:
does it merely save you the hassle of swapping Sims? or does it actually provide dual sim functionality?

what happens tocalls made to sim 2 when sim1 is active?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] r2go:
Verry good question. Thats what i want to know.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Szadzik:
It would have to have 2 radios to do dual-sim operation.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] actng:
huh? dual sim phones will ring when either sim1 or sim2 is called. does that mean there are two radios? my mom has one of these phones and it doesn't look sophisticated enough to have two radios. but what do i know.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mattsnap:
Yea only 1 sim is active at a time although there's an autoswitch function that lets me set it to autoswitch to the other sim at a timed interval.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mattsnap:
The actual store I got it from is www.magic-sim.com btw

The service information from Gmate said they will update with a new version.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] kms108:
It works for my i9300 hong kong international version, but not my SHV-E210K korea version.

what notification do you get.

when pairing a notification pop ups very fast and goes away, with a quick look it says incorrect passed, but you dont get enough time to enter it in.

is this the same for you.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] perissatto:
yes i got pair failed message.

I have contacted Skyroam. They informed that my device is blocked and will work only in Taiwan. :crying::crying:

This is due sellers who broke the contract with skyroam and device is blocked by S/N.

They also informed that galaxy S3 is not supported yet.

Our sprint GS3 don't have sim. Why in the world is this tread even exist in Sprint Galaxy S3 forum?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kms108:
do you really believe that, as I said, it does work with my s3 i9300 and my previous galaxy nexus, just not with my korean version.

and i did get constant update.

First you have to pair it with the phone before you can use the app, on my korean version, the gmate will not pair as stated above with the phone, I dont see have they can block the phone to gmate pairing process.

I ordered the adaptor however anyone have it installed with a larger battery for say seido, mugen or even with Samsung new extended battery (3000mha)? Does it fit well?

I have one for the S4 using an extended battery and it fits/works fine

Awsome. Thanks

Guys, I'm sorry but I don't understand if this adapter will allow the 2 Sims to be active at the same time, meaning, will I be able to receive call on any one of them at a given moment?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] atmospher1c:
So my Wi-Fi isn't working at all since I started re-romming my phone. Yesterday I tried out the CM nightly build, which worked but had terrible battery life. I switched over to the ultimatum ROM directly, and now my wi-fi doesn't work.

Any ideas? ... i think it might have something to do with the kernel but im not sure, this is my first android and first experience romming. thanks in advance!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] d3athsd00r:
I'm betting at one point you flashed the kernel from ktoonsez. Just flash his (or faux123's) kernel again and I bet it will work again.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] atmospher1c:
i just tried flashing to the stock kernel no luck... where can i find ktoonsez's kernel?>

edit: found faux123's kernel. I've now installed this kernel successfully and wi-fi is working... but i don't have a status bar anymore. damn it. any ideas anyone?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] lucidman:
Send yourself a text or plug the usb cable in to a pc. You likely need a notification to get the status bar to show up again
[Captivate General] cbalt:
Ok so yesterday I received a cappy from someone on here that I told them I would try and fix. I am not charging them anything and am actually paying shipping back to them. When I received it and turned it on it was stuck at the end of the cornkernel bootlogo. I thought hey this will be easy and flashed the heimdall version of I897UCKK4 Stock, Wipe, with options to install Bootloaders, Param,and Re-partition-One-Click. Phone rebooted and is now stuck at the att logo. So I flash cornkernel, its stuck at the end of cornkernel bootup. So I decided on a whim to try and flash this kernel Devil3_1.1.3_HB_cappy_CFS_BLN_VC_20120807, luckily that got me into recovery, so I did a full backup of all the stuff on his internal storage and completely wiped the phone, wipe data/factory reset, wipe dalvik cache, format boot, format system, format sdcard, format cache, format data, format datadata (yes I know I wiped some things twice) . Then I flashed my rom, it just reboots to recovery after the flash, still reboots after a reflash of the rom. I then wiped everything again and tried flashing CM9's latest nightly to see if I could get it to boot up. Still reboots to recovery. So far all together I have flashed I897UCJI6-OCD-REV02-Low-designgears, i897uckk4 Odin One Click CONTAINS Bootloaders, Re-partition, Full Wipe, I897UCKF1_withBL,SGH-I897_I897UCKJ3, KK4-SE-One-Click, JF6 With Bootloaders, SamsungCaptivate-SGHi897-UCKB2-Rooted-One-Click Followed By I897UCKK4 Stock, Wipe, with options to install Bootloaders, Param,and Re-partition-One-Click both are heimdall. All of those either left it stuck at att or kernel screen after I flashed a kernel. Anyone got any ideas? I am almost to my wits end.
[Captivate General] 4-2ndtwin:
Try the Odin version of this... Stock KK4 one click...it will do ya a full wipe and repartition for sure.
[Captivate General] cbalt:
Already have that is my go to file actually and I tried that before going the heimdall route. Thanks Anyways.
[Captivate General] -SGA-:
You should try the Rogers stock gingerbread with boot loaders. Worked for me when I was using the AT&T and not getting past recovery...
[Captivate General] cbalt:
Thanks for the idea. It didn't work tho. I am still at the same spot, phone keeps rebooting to recovery.
[Captivate General] stayintwisted:
have to wonder,,has the phone had the EU bug? might try flashing the rom with datadata ( I believe thats it) on the external sd
[Captivate General] cbalt:
Not that I know of, It isn't my phone so I do not know the history other than him saying it didn't boot past the kernel screen and receiving it and seeing that and then what I have done. Normally the sd card data from what I have seen is wiped when the eu bug happens from what I have read, maybe I am wrong, but since I backed up his data off the sdcard that is why I do not believe it has had the eu bug.
[Captivate General] cbalt:
Anyone have any more ideas, I tried the EU Bug Instructions @ http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1447303&page=85 Replacing the vold.fstab in the rom and also flashing it with CWM without luck. I am still stuck with it rebooting to recovery. I am still waiting on him to tell me his address again so I can mail it back to him since at this point I am lost. I told him MobileTechVideos would more than likely be his best shot at getting it fixed though.
[Captivate General] -SGA-:
Long story short, recovery is iffy at best for me. I went through something similar to this when trying to go from CM10 back to CM9 for the first time. Ever since then recovery has not been right.

What I did was

Install a stock one-click with bootloaders, used odin to flash speedmod kernel and then used that recovery to flash CM9 in three successions wiping everything each time. Somehow it took, and now I am no longer a crack flasher because I have the same kernel splash screen problem every time.

So,

Use this http://www.mediafire.com/?5rcofbzusoor6mv

PDA button in Odin3 1.7: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=566807&d=1302623831

Boot into recovery.

Flash your ROM

Wipe /system, /data, and dalvik.

reboot recovery.

Flash again.

Wipe /system, /data, and dalvik.

reboot recovery.

Flash again.

Try to boot normally.
[Captivate General] cbalt:
Thanks for the idea, but it's a no go, Phone just stops at Galaxy S SGH-I897 Kernel Screen. I can't even get to recovery. Only way I have got to recovery with this phone was flashing an ICS kernel. :eek:
[Captivate General] sunfirestorm:
There is a place that has rogers stock roms

There is a place that has rogers stock Roms the one click Odin's back to 2.2 is my go to for all problems the i can't get to recovery. I know you said you tried rogers stock roms but try the one-clicks for some reason they have always saved me. It will re-install everything and you will be on stock recovery if it works but from there its easy to get CWM and your on your way
[Captivate General] cbalt:
I have already tried all three of the Rogers One Clicks with none of them actually doing anything more than the Captivate One Clicks, It still doesn't boot past the first screen. Thanks for the input though.
[Captivate General] fohdeesha:
You've been using a one click with 2.3.3 bootloaders, they're are 2.3.5 bootloaders available that have solved certain peoples sleepdeath issues, including mine. I've done this procedure on several captivates to take them from mangled and non-bootable to latest bootloaders and working recovery to flash whatever rom I need to from there on.

Use this one click that includes the 2.3.5 bootloaders - http://fohdeesha.com/data/other/android/i897uckk4 with latest BL.zip

After that goes through and you have stock gingerbead, use this odin package to flash the included devil kernel package, that will give you the latest CWM recovery

http://fohdeesha.com/data/other/android/uckk4 CWM recovery.zip

After that, if you still can't boot into recovery, you have a hardware issue

edit: looks like you already did this more or less.......try it once more in this order? Then once you do this and boot into recovery, flash a rom and see if it will work
[Captivate General] cbalt:
I'm going to do your steps again which is more or less what I have already done. I am waiting to hear back from the person so I can ship him the phone back and he can send it to MTV or someone or just junk it, its his phone and his choice. At this point I would say it needs Jtag or Unbrickable mod + repair. Although I am still trying ideas of mine and anyone elses lol.

EDIT: Still A No Go. Doesn't Boot Past ATT Screen After Flashing The Odin 1 Click, After Flashing Kernel then wiping and flashing rom, it just reboots to recovery
[Captivate General] fohdeesha:
Well if the one clicks are successfully writing primary and secondary bootloaders and it's still not working, a jtag isn't going to do anything else. It almost sounds like the memory has a few corrupt blocks, but I can't say until you flash 2.3.5 BL's and see what happens

I rooted my Verizon S3 on a Mac using this (not my method, just sharing):

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=29388584&postcount=96

It's basically using Noxious Ninja's files that are used in the (much easier) Windows method root tool. Still not too bad. The only difference for Macs is whenever it says:

adb push su /data/local/

for example, you have to type it in a Terminal window as:

./adb push su /data/local/

with the .(period) and / (forward slash) before the "adb" command.

Let me know if you need any more help. I was thinking about whipping up a quick tutorial for Macs, as I was unable to find one other than the code I linked to by "caslca" in the Root Tool thread. Good luck!

Let install complete

Reboot to System

I copied that from the first post of : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1655011

Before I wiped anything I made a backup of my 1.85 setup.

Not trying to incite you but I'm on my first android phone and it worked perfectly for me last week.

I used chromium on my pc to download the zip then transfer it to the phone, are you and SkookDroid talking about downloading the zip directly to the 1X? That would be weird if that was why it didn't work.

I tried the CM10 8/9 alpha today and had to change back to cleanrom 4.5 because the call quality was messed up. First I wiped cache and davlik cache with TWRP then restored my 1.85 backup. It said everything was ok but on restart it hung on the white 1X screen until 5min later I restarted and the restore finally took.

Good Luck with it.

Depends on the devs. Some forums make things very noob friendly (like the HOX). Very convenient and nice of the devs, but when people don't even know what fastboot and ADB is, it causes a lot of grief for the devs. Just look at what happened with the scandal that almost deterred Scott from producing HOX roms. It's fine being new to the scene, but there are too many people who don't even care enough to read instructions.
