[General Questions and Answers] Meteo:
I heard that some phone companies (like att) are now automatically adding a data plan to your monthly statement if they detect that you are using a smartphone. Is there anyway to hide the kind of phone you are using? like spoofing a dumbphone or something. Im planning on getting a new android phone and using just wifi and dont want to pay for data.
[General Questions and Answers] gagdude:
Get a phone that's not in AT&T's IMEI database. I believe all international phones would work in your situation.
[General Questions and Answers] Meteo:
so Id have to get an unlocked one? those are much more expensive... No way I can get a carrier phone without them knowing what kind of phone I have?
[General Questions and Answers] gagdude:
If you buy a phone FROM the carrier at the lower price on a 2 year contract, of course they'd know its a smartphone! Lol

So yeah unlocked is the only way to bypass them.
[General Questions and Answers] aarons510:
Why not a separate device for wifi?

Unless you really don't want to have two separate devices, why not just use a dumb phone with your account and have a separate android phone or tablet that you can use with wifi?

BTW, I'm guessing, and hope somebody will tell me whether I'm right or wrong, that any wifi-capable phone with a bad ESN (and therefore probably a lot cheaper to buy used) can still be used as a wifi device without any problems due to the bad ESN.
[General Questions and Answers] gagdude:
All true, but sometimes its just a tad more convenient to have a single device with the phone capabilities rather than have an extra device just for it.
[General Questions and Answers] Mr. Salt:
If you were not against having two devices and using the android device as WiFi only, why not consider something like Samsung's 5 inch media tablet or the Nexus 7. Both would be cheaper than a unlocked phone.
[General Questions and Answers] Meteo:
I was thinking of buying the phone used but if the phone model is tied to the IMEI then I guess theres no way around it... convenient way to make money for the carriers though.
[General Questions and Answers] gagdude:
You can buy an international phone used and it would work.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Scotlac:
Looks good! What was your screen on time?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] demandarin:
my battery doing great so far. my battery is at 50% right now. over 12hrs. total time so far. check this though, a lil over 6hrs. of screen on time ;) and I still have 50% battery left. wifi left on always. screenshots attached.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
OMG! I'm shocked the seas haven't parted or that we haven't found alien life on another planet. Demandarin owning a Samsung tablet is a day I thought I'd never see. Who cares what you think about the battery. What are your first impressions of the h/w and s/w? I hope you keep it. It'll be a blast owning the same device and sharing the same forum.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] freedomispopular:
Is that the 3g version?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
Yes.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] demandarin:
Impressive

First Impressions:

I really like it.

H/w: I like the feel of it. it feels solid. it may be made of plastic but doesn't feel cheap. it looks and feels high quality. I have the 16gb. White one. got it from best buy. it was all they had. I might return it and get the 32gb version. its worth the extra 50. we will see as I have 30 days to test it out and decide if I need higher storage one. I'm loving the True stereo speakers. easily the best sound of any tablet or phone. big speakers also. they increased the size of them from galaxy tab 2(saw in a video comparison). Build quality overall very good. the exynos quad core is fast also. I can't do a fair comparison to prime tegra3 because its software wasn't at 100%. but compared to jb on my nexus7(tegra3), this is just as fast if not faster. battery life is great, so far. look at my previous post with screen shots attached. it was on over 12hrs. A LiL over 6hrs. On screen time. I still had 50% battery life yet. IM guessing that 32nm Soc process really helps to keep temps low & stretch battery life out. seems very efficient. wifi performance is stellar. no issues with it at all. plus this supports 5ghz. Band & has channel bonding. impressive ;)

S/w: j/b out the box wouldve been perfect. T/w not as bad as I thought. I got rid of those stock widget boxes like media hub, music hub, etc.. Everything runs very smooth. Ics performs great on this tablet. no anr at all so far. I will go into dev. Options and cut off animations. the ui will be even faster afterwards. I love the s pen integration. IM still learning how to use it to full capacity. amazed how well & precise it is. plus I have sketchbook mobile. stock browser is very fast. I sideloaded flash so everything is good. IM also impressed w/ the Ir remote control app. works very well. tested it out on my dads plasma. he was stoked at how I could do that. plus it shows TV programming on it on what's on or coming on. Then you press one and it'll switch channels to selected show. overall s/w is good. can't wait to see how this is once jb arrives. this tablet really will fly then.

IM still putting tablet through the paces. slot to learn w/ t/w & s pen.

P.s. Samsung released official Note 10.1 guide/manual app in the playstore. I recommend getting it. very detailed and will help to make most of the S pen.

I will likely keep it. still have 30 days to test out. my only question is do I want to keep 16gb one or return it for 32 gb one once best buy gets them in. I like the white colored one. unless they make a blue, ill stick with white.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] freedomispopular:
Oh duh, I just noticed the H+ icon :p Nice, the battery life on the wifi version should be excellent then.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] crystalstylez:

Under about phone:

The model number is: SPH-D710

The Android Version is: 4.0.4

Baseband Version: S:D710.10.S.FF18

Hardware Version: D710.10

It's on Sprint, on the back it says Galaxy S II. Like I looked up this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7pWjmKCsoc But his build number is TOTALLY different than mine. He also has another version for a different build number, but that build number is also very different.

hello,

My Galaxy Ace gt-s5830i can't access sim card !

this happened after i install an another rom on it, and now I return into the official rom that I have,

but the problem does't solve !

I can't see/import/export sim card " it's ok on other phone and there is no problem with sim "

I need to fix that as soon as possible ( in a few hours if it can be :) "​
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GermainZ:
Is the problem with contacts on the sim card, or are you not detecting it at all (no carrier)?

If it's just the contacts, it's related to the kernel you're using (rafael burgis' kernel). Just save your contacts to your google account instead.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SadHeroXIII:
hello thanks for reply ^_^

the only way to solve this problem was to reinstall the official rom !!

of course after that I restore everything and there is no problem, but I don't know why !!

Hi Guys!

I have plan to buy Galaxy S3 in Tmo (in retail) and have a two questions. Is it safe to flash new phone from Tmo to stock android? I don't want to have any Tmo stuff and Tmo's andro version... Question two is, when I'll have stock android on Galaxy, Do I get an OTA when it'll appear? Or I will have to flash manually when new rom will appear?

Thanks for clarification!

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] knarfies:
Now someone correct me if im wrong as i still call myself a noob but i do have basic knowledge but you can always root your phone/odin a custom recovery and then flash a stock rom with all the bloat removed. You could always just remove bloat via titanium back up as well tobyour liking. Check out the development thread. Theres alot to read but theres very usefull info to get caught up on. Hope this helps. Oh and in regards to ota, im stock with root injection and im waiting for todays update to try the root keeper method.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] imheroldman:
For android builds, or AOSP, there are options. You won't get a pure stock AOSP unless you compile and build it yourself. Though Cyanogenmod and AOKP are modified builds of AOSP that have various mods and tweaks I have been using Cyanogenmod 9 and will switch to 10 once it releases.

You will not receive OTA updates as these are custom roms and updates need to be manually flashed

There is a lot of lingo to learn and lots of mistakes to learn from. You will become addicted to flashing updates and various roms very quickly
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dzordzyk:
Thanks guys for quick response!

Every flash in Samsung which I'd like to do has to be done via Odin? Sorry for 'noob' questions but before SGS3 I had NexusOne - everything was simpler on it :)

Flashing doesn't void my warranty, right? AFAIK on Samsung we have something called "Flash counter" and if we'd like to use warranty, Flash counter should be "0", that's right?

After buy, Do I have unlock phone or something like that?

Thanks for patience! I appreciate it

dzordzyk
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] knarfies:
No, you would want to odin a stock injected rom or odin a recovery, boot into recovery and then flash the super user zip. I dont know anything about odins counter but the triangle away seems to be working well on our phones unless someone else knows otherwise.

Confirming that if your on the stock root injected rom, use rootkeeper, do a temp unroot and youll be able to get the ota installed. Mine just rebooted from installation. Working good and glad it was so easy. Abq nm here. Hope i helped.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sebbyromania:
nice

so, this is a veeery good question that I've been wondering myself for quite some time...If you flash a stock rom via ODIN, and you are not rooted anymore, will you get that rom's OTA updates when available? Please, someone who's done this, reply with some precise anwser! Thank you very mutch :laugh:

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:

Hi guys, could need some help, please:

I just can't get a picture from my S3 (neither YouTube, Homescreen, nor movie from SD Card) to show on my LG HDTV's screen... Any idea, why?

Just in case you're wondering...

-- I do have the latest/correct Adapter for the S3 (Model code: EPL-3FHUBEGSTD/Original Samsung bought on Amazon)

-- I have connected the S3 charger to the Adapter

-- One side plugged into HDTV, the other into the Adapter, and the latter plugged into S3.

I think that the CM9 Nightlies (RC2) just might not be up to par... (??)

Can anyone confirm it's actually working with your International S3 (I9300) and XpLoDWiLD's version of CM9 ??
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ClarkyCat:
I can confirm this on the Cm10 nightlies.

The mhl adapter works fine on Samsung-derived Roms, just not the CM ones.

I wonder if a different kernel would help? I plan to try a few later...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dennisfisch:
i have this exact same adapter and can confirm it working perfectly fine on samsung roms. I have posted a similar thread on getting it to work with USB OTG here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1836822

I believe there must be something in the kernel to enable HDMI output (seeing as i get a "HDMI cable connected" notification) as well as switching into USB Host mode (and thus providing the adapter with power). It has been suggested that among the 11 Pins in the new Galaxy S3 port there should be 2 separate USB Ports, one to be used for charging, syncing, data cable, MHL, etc, and one to use for USB OTG while the other is in MHL mode.

I am hoping for new insight into this matter, since this would empower the device greatly. Together with the superior hardware, this would definitely be a killer feature.

Google claims that Apple is violating their patents and thus all the imports of the iPhone, iPad, and Mac computers need to stop immediately. I really hope they win because Apple deserves a taste of their own medicine.

Guys this isn't google suing yet, it is Motorola, Motorola has been suing back and forth with apple way long before. Google said Motorola will still function as an individual company although what ever Motorola decides to do google will have the final word. Of course if Motorola seems to be getting in trouble then they are going to have to step in.

This is a smart move from google since they aren't directly suing apple. What ever happens Motorolas name is the one that gets dirty. Google is basically taking a shot from over Motorola's shoulder. Then will wait and see how this plays out so that google can make the better choice when attacking apple directly. Keep an eye out for this one. As Samsung's legal team doesn't seem to be doing well.
