UK & EU USERS ONLY -Prepaid Credit Card (while waiting for Google to sell Gift Cards)

UK & EU USERS ONLY!

I'm already aware that US users can do this in the US shop

Have any of you successfully used a prepaid credit card with Google Play

UK

? Also any EUers managed to do this with their local Google Play Shop? Please if possible state whether it was Mastercard or Visa & who issued it & country if non UK EUer.

This seems to be the only option (until Google finally get around to issuing Gift Cards for sale) for those of use who don't want each .60p or .60c purchase to register individually on our bank statement. It's much tidier to just have a balance left in our google account just for apps. Just like with Amazon & iTunes. To say nothing of all those under 18's.

Hi all,

I was a longtime Darkside Rom user until I recently gave CM9 a try, since I've long heard so much about that. I really like it, but I've noticed that a lot of the ringtones, well specifically notification tones, that I used on Darkside aren't on Cyanogenmod.

Can anyone point me to where I might be able to download the ringtones as a block, the ones used in Darkside, that is, and into which folder on my SD I should put the to get them to show up when I'm selecting ringtones for notificiations, gmail, sms, the native email client, etc?

Thanks!

Hi, All,

With a rooted Sidekick 4G, I'd like to change the Smiley key to a smart-quote-style apostrophe. This thread is very helpful:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1242993

but in \system\usr\keylayout\s3c-keypad.kl, I'm still lost. Does anyone know--using hex or text editor--the proper syntax for a curly apostrophe to take the place of SMILEY? (in advanced ascii, the code for a curly apostrophe is 92, but that doesn't seem to help in this matter)

Many thanks,

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ej_424:
I've had my xperia S for over 2 months and haven't see any additions to the developement community. I'm really starting to consider getting rid of this device as the Roms available for it are lacking and the stock ones perform awful. If it wasn't for the CM9 release from FXP I would have parted ways a long time ago.

Hopefully we start seeing more developers jump board on this beautiful piece of hardware, but I'm starting to think the odds are slim to none..

Whats the deal?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
What do you want?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] guildamx:
Ics has been released on June 22. Thus, during the last 2 months, we have had:

- the official upgrade to ics

- not less than ics custom kernels with cwm recovery

- three custom roms based on stock ics

- cm 9.0, now stable

- cm 10, not ready but promising

Of course, nothing comparable to the nexus scene. But if you got a phone which has not been thought for the modding, you should not complain with the development community.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] amfirbek92:
U can start developing it anytime u want haa..

Stop crying and strt moddin!! Lol!! That's what have decided to do!!!

If u think in this way for S, I think you wld hv jumped inda ocean looking at what was going on in P/U/Sola scene but atleast something has been developed for ur device!!

So be thankful am appreciate it rather than complaining!!

I am still on a stock ICS rom and I can't complain one bit.

Hi,

I searched and couldn't find anything like this. I just purchased an unlocked amaze. I put my sim in turned it on and it won't connect to the network. I tried going into settings>mobile network>network operators>search networks> at this point it finds both t-mobile's and at&t's networks when I click on t-mobile it says registering on t-mobile and then after a while says your sim does not allow a connection to this network. I spent all morning with someone in a t-mobile store he gave me a new sim but when that didn't work had no idea what to do.

Thanks for any help!

If you are on xda the leak is when the rom is released, who cares about official at&t release.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sabre31:
I don't think AT&T would release that as they don't want to mess with iPhone 5 roll out and steal that thunder. However the smart thing is for Samsung to push the crap out of this and put pressure on all carriers to release JB before iPhone 5 comes out.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] blue265:
I think the carriers will defintiely slow the process down. However, I really don't think it will take as long as it did going from GB to ICS for SGS2 variants. If you recall, some SGS2 Variants in US and Canada just got their ICS around the same time SGS3 was released (LOL). But the upgrade from ICS to Jellybean is fairly small and I know that Google and Samsung (as well as other manufacturers) are trying to make updates a ltitle more timely than they have been in the past. Whether or not this will hold true is yet to be seen. However, seeing that there is already a leak for i9300 so soon shows me that Samsung is making more of an effort. I don't recall the ICS leaks for my i9100 coming out this soon
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] GuestK00450:
I'd be surprised if AT&T even releases JB for the Galaxy S3. Doing that would only benefit the customer, and it is strictly against AT&T's policy to do anything that might benefit the end user.

I'd say there is a 90% chance we will all be stuck with ICS unless we root and flash our own JB custom ROM's. AT&T doesn't care if you use ICS. Hell, 98% of people with the Galaxy S3 in the United States don't even know what ICS and Jellybean are, and they couldn't care less as long as the phone functions.

You get an A+ for positivity, but unfortunately, you're giving the carriers too much credit, especially AT&T. In the end, Samsung pushing out updates in a timely manner is as useful as rubber lips on a woodpecker because the frigging carriers are guaranteed to slow sh*t down so they can bloat the software up to their liking.

True. At least we'll get leaks long before at&t releases it though.

same or a little bit lower than HC 3.2 even without overclocking

but the tab is smoother than my I9300 it also has the most recent kernel 3.1.1 compared to 3.0.5 on the GSIII Note and Tab 7.7 ICS
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] gokpog:
No butter in ICS. And while Jelly Beans "project butter" might only be there to mask shortcomings, its results in day to day experience are real, no placebo anywhere.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Vlad_z:
Thanks guys. I was not expected CPU benchmarks to be any better vs. HC (especially with stock, non-overclocked kernel).

But I was hopping that 2D and 3D performance could be better after all these talks of video acceleration and supposedly matured Tegra2 drives.

Well, this has not happened. Instead video performance became worse. So, for me I see no reason to upgrade from HC 3.2 to ICS.

Hi I also had the same problem, after flaying this ROM my touch based recovery was gone, and when i flashed the touch based recovery 5.2.7 i was unable to boot in recovery it showed blue/black stripes. But changing recovery image did not helped me i had to use SUT but again i lost my touch based recovery.
[Huawei Ideos X6] mmaacc:
That is the wrong way to do it, when flashing with SUT you will overwrite the images and you are where you came from. Looks like you have a mismatch of versions. For kernel 2.6.32 (GB) you need the older CWM from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1278027 (that works not with Sharp ROM, RC3 or any ICS version). For kernel 2.6.35 (Sharp, RC3 or ICS) you need the one linked earlier here. Just place the recovery.img onto the phone and reboot. Done.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] oneshoe08:
I got a Verizon Galaxy S III from a friend. When he had it the 4G LTE worked just fine. When I put my sim card in it found my wireless account no problem, I even went on the verizon site and after the phone popped up as my new device I "activated" it (whatever that does)... But I get no 4G. I'm in a 4G LTE area, I used it on my old Galaxy Nexus all the time. In my Mobile Network settings under Access Point Names there are two avaliable options, 'EHRPD - Verizon Internet' and 'LTE - Verizon Internet', the default is EHRPD but I changed it to LTE, still have no 4G. There is no "preferred network mode" like on the old Galaxy Nexus where you can choose between CDMA and LTE/CDMA. I searched around and downloaded the app Phone Info, the preferred network is set on LTE/CDMA/EvDo... HOWEVER, if I change it to LTE/GSM/WCDMA or LTE only or LTE/WCDMA I get 4g service! But then I have no mobile network to place calls or text. When I change it back to LTE/CDMA/EvDo it drops 4G again and goes back to 3G. I don't get it! Anyone have any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Vorfidus:
Well since his sim card worked fine, it may just be yours. I can't say get a warranty replacement because vzw doesn't replace third party traded phones. Stingy bastards.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] oneshoe08:
So it could be the sim card even though I can force 4G to work by itself? 4G still works on my Gnex when I pop the sim back in. If it was the sim is that something I could get a replacement for from vsw somehow that would fix the problem?

Is there any reason that unlock/root/flash other roms/radios would fix the problem?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Vorfidus:
Well I mean I'd hope it was the sim, but it's probably not. I'd say try your best to fix it with the tools at hand because lord knows if you call Verizon and try to get a warranty replacement, you're gonna be on the phone for a while.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dimeloklk:
Not sure if this is true but when i got my phone from bestbuy the guy gave me what he called a 4g lte sim card so that i could have use of lte etc. So it might be your sim card
