[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] belly1026:
T-Mobile customer service has been crap lately.

Look at the issue that I was having with them (warning: long read)

http://support.t-mobile.com/thread/29215

To continue from that thread:

I had to sent in all three of my 32GB phones and went to the store and got myself 16GB Galaxy S3s which royally pissed me off because I wanted 32GB.

I'm still waiting for the credits to be posted on my account for the 32GB phones I sent back in.

Jessica on T-Mobile forum has been really helpful with my situation and immediately posted some credits on my account to lower the cost of the 16GB S3s that I had to pay out of pocket again.

I am glad that I posted on that forum because Jessica has been the one constant person that's been helping me through all these issues. She knows the situation from A-Z and I didn't have to explain it over and over again to different CSR's.

However, the fact that T-Mobile kept messing up and not registering the phones being returned to them are problematic and I, as a customer, had to pay for that. I wanted the 32GB phones but now I'm stuck with 16GB. In the future, I don't think I'll renew my contract with them and just go month to month. Or, if I do renew my contract, it will be the value plan and I'll just buy my phones from here or ebay or something. Too much hassle having to deal with T-Mobile.

10 months yo. I have a link I saved somewhere, but Google 'tips from an former t-mobile employee' should give you the link to some great info! I personally just saved close to $400 by calling into complain, with legit complaints, but hey I'm rocking a nice new phone. Plus I was able to get early upgrades on all our lines of service.

Hello, i just recently started having this issue. I set different ringtones for different contacts on my phone, and its been working fine until the last few days. now regardless of what ringtone is set for a contact, it always plays the default ringer. Could this be because of the latest OTA update? Anyone else having this issue?? any help is appreciated. Thanks

Its a known software issue with the most recent OTA. HTC is working on it.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tigrowski:
So I have SGS III and got myself thinking: I have my GMail set up to synch new mails consantly and, when found new, notify me and blink the LED. While the feature is great, I often read my mails on other devices as well. That's where the problem occurs: even if I read a mail on another device, the LED keeps blinking which is quite annoying as I know that most likely no new mails are there and I just have to make the senseless effort of unlocking mmy device and clearing the current notifications from the bar. I'd love if this could be done automatically so that when I read a mail elsewhere, my phone treats ot just like any other mail and clears the notifications linked to it. Can I do it somehow?

EDIT: Ekhm... You just have to wait a little bit longer and it disappears on its own :D

TDKR:

When I install, don't even the app goes on, it just closes and come back to app drawer, I've tried on and offline, with and without data and with and without tb files

TASP:

I tried with Spider Man now, this one installs and everything, just don't launch the game, and I tried to post some screens, but all that happens in this case is just this, the game installs, the android/obb/*obb files* and android/data/com.gameloft.blahblahblah*sd data uncompressed by the game* are there, then I press ok, then, doesn't matter with or without internet on, the screen turns black or shows that animation in screenshot2

Sometimes it says "checking license" and closes the game, sometimes it says "this games requires 1 mb to run on your device" I choose yes and then, again, "checking license and force close"

---

I didn't put Flight Mode in Spider Man nor Asphalt 7, but in TDKR yeah

the most strange is that games like Shrek Karting, Asphalt 6, Asphat 5, Eternal Legacy, Total Recall and Avatar (it force close during the game when doing a lot of movements at the same time, if you guys could also help..) runs perfectly, only those 'new games' that don't

I've tried -Amazing Spider Man, Asphalt 7 and Batman TDKR- really a lot of apks and datas, and also tried downloading by wi-fi

don't know what else to do

And no, I can't buy this game cuz in gameloft.com says that the game isn't compatible with my device, but how can't it be compatible with my OB?? This games runs untill in low-ends devices qvga like Galaxy 5 and Optimus Me

ps.: after I had installed the game I move it to sd card, is that a problem? I mean, is it wrong?

ps2.: In attachment, some screens about what happens in TASM installation, like, when I launch the game with the app*screen 1* and after this chinese message, stuck on this *screen 2*

ps3.: I'm running FOP's ICS CM9 Nightly 6

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] a_lleras:
Well, I'm having a little problem. I installed JB in my galaxy, and I noticed I lost the unlock, after that, I restored EFS and unlocked again. Now, after unlocking (but not restarting) I had no problems, but as soon as I restart the phone, the unlock is gone. I am using AOKP JB from task650 with its default kernel

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MotoMudder77:
hmmm. interesting.

GS2 unlock is just a file edit IIRC. So the file is able to be edited, and sticks.. but after a restart it reverts back.

I've heard of a reasoning for this, not this exact problem, but stuff not sticking after reboot. Cant put my finger on it...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] a_lleras:
Well, I checked out the thread, I can unlock it when I'm on ICS, but when I flash to JB I loose the unlock. However, he unlocked on GB and then upgraded to ICS, I could try that out later but I dont't think it'll make any difference..

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] wgoldfarb:
Have you checked the aokp jb thread to see if anyone is having a similar problem?

Also, did you try just calling AT&T for the unlock code? in my previous job i used to travel frequently. Every time i got a new phone i called at&t, explained that i travel abroad very often and needed to unlock my phone to use local carriers in the places i travelled to. The gave me the code every time with no problems. I would assume the unlock code they give you would work regardless of what rom you have installed?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:
I've flashed 99% of available roms and kernels and have never lost my unlock.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spacenegroes:
hey all, i've had my captivate for about two years now, and for a while i used cognition, then for the last year i've been using firefly. firefly has completely destroyed my phone's speed and responsiveness, and i needed to clean everything off and start with a minimalist ROM. so i picked slimICS.

i'm still very hazy on the details and terminology of flashing ROMs, but i got two to work (i remember using one-click root thing in 2010, and then in 2011 i flashed firefly through clockwork) so i figured it shouldn't be a problem to install slim, which i figured would be my last ROM until next year, when i'd get a new phone.

so i backed up my stuff, tried to get into recovery mode with the 3 buttons (didn't work, unsurprising since it didn't work last year either), took out my SIM, went to CWM, and selected the flash rom option. this restarted the phone and sent it into recovery mode--except it was the stock recovery, and i couldn't select anything because i think firefly made the phone think it was the i9000 model from canada, instead of the i897 captivate, so it assumed i had a physical "ok" button on my phone (which i obviously do not). i tried the power button, the various capacitive buttons on the bottom, nothing would select any of the options, so i just took out the battery and put it back in. the phone immediately booted into the CWM recovery menu, in which i selected flash ROM, and scrolled down to choose slimICS.

i let it do its thing for a while, it jumped between the AT&T white logo screen and a screen with scrolling text for like 5-10 minutes, then just stayed on the AT&T logo screen for another ten minutes. i should have left it for maybe a half hour to be sure, but i figured the install failed. i couldn't get out of this so i pulled the batttery. and now the phone is bricked (soft i hope). if i hold the power button it goes to the AT&T white logo, flashes briefly for a half-second and goes back to the screen, then stays there indefinitely. no button combinations seem to work. does anyone have any suggestions?

thanks!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
Since you backed everything up, I'd suggest flashing a stock rom via Odin or Heimdall to clean everything up before moving forwards.

You can flash a non-bootloader one to be safe, or if you want to make sure you can flash anything, flash a package with Gingerbread bootloaders.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spacenegroes:
how do i flash anything in my phone's current condition? it doesn't turn on fully. it's stuck at the white AT&T logo.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
Turn it completely off (pull the battery, if necessary), then hold V+ and V-, and insert a USB cable. That should put it in download mode. Once you're there, you can flash a stock rom (There's a stick with those roms in the development section).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spacenegroes:
doesn't work. as i mentioned in the OP, i can't get into download or recovery mode or whatever. these button combos have never ever worked with this phone. for example, holding + and - and inserting a cable with ODIN open has never done anything. that's why i used clockwork.

Sounds like u r gonna need a Jig. If u are on a pc, click on my sig link below and there u will find a link on how to make a jig and/or where to buy one.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
The jigs that I have made myself in the past and as well the professional made ones that I have purchased have always worked to get me into download mode.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] desiwizard:
The jig is worth a try, I suggest you should
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robm1911:
if I'm reading the op right, and if memory serves firefly was an I9000 build and button combos are different. My suggestion would get the Odin kk4 one click with repartition and WITH boot loaders from 4-2ndtwin's sig links, open that and while powered off and holding just the vol- button insert the USB that should do the trick. I9000 builds use different boot loaders with different button combos. Since you will be flashing a boot loader package be aware this is when you can truly hard brick your device. Be sure you have a good connection and cable before starting. If you still can't get into download mode I can +1 on the jig. The jig and 4-2ndtwins one click has saved my bacon more than once.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spacenegroes:
ok so i bought the jig, and good news: it gets me into download mode! yay!

problem: i don't know where to go from here. i've tried the following:

A. after getting into download mode, i followed the ODIN method here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1350266, meaning i flashed the gingerbread bootloader update (nothing happened to the phone, which made me confused when i got to step 7., because i was STILL IN download mode), then flashed the speedmod kernel (which reset the phone, but it just got stuck in the "SAMSUNG CAPTIVATE i-897" white text on black screen, forever. i had to do a battery pull. turning on the phone goes to the same screen and then it freezes. trying to hold all three buttons to go into recovery mode alternates between that screen and the white AT&T screen, actually alternates, forever if i let it.

B. after that failed, i tried using the 2.2 Heimdall one-click (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1266172) but the file, when run, says

ERROR: Drivers Not Found
Installing drivers

but i still followed the instructions (except the instructions say "Install driver" but the actual button is "Replace driver"?) in any case, this does nothing. and then checking off "Flash bootloaders" and doing it again does nothing. the phone remains in download mode.

C. so i wanted to try one-click downloader http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=731989, but nothing pops up on the ODIN window when i plug my phone in. i can't even do anything.

please help!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spacenegroes:
please, does nobody know what to do?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
Take a look at the "Captivate Connection Issues" thread for some more things to try. At this point, it sounds like you need to clear all the phone drivers off of your machine and reinstall them.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spacenegroes:
thanks, that worked! (it was my laptop that was the source of the connection issues i think; i tried all that stuff in the thread, but when i switched to the desktop, all of a sudden ODIN recognizes the phone!) i got my phone to flash ODIN one-click. so now i'm back to stock 2.1 eclair.

however, much to my dismay, i still can't get into recovery mode to (re-) root. the three button combo still does the weird flashing thing, where the white AT&T logo shows up, then the screen goes to black, then the AT&T logo, then black... ad infinitum. how do i either 1) enter recovery, or 2) re-root the phone + get a nice, lean, fast, modern ROM on it without going into recovery?

so far this thread has helped me unbrick the phone, now all i need is to update it from stock!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m1batt1:
I could be wrong but when you do the 3 button combo it sounds like you are continually holding the buttons which will cause it to keep looping like you describe. Starting with your phone off hold down all three buttons. The phone will show the white ATT screen. Then if you had a custom kernel it would show the kernel splash screen, in your case you said it just goes black which is fine too. Then you will of course get the white ATT screen again. As soon as you see the white ATT screen again release all the buttons and that should boot it into recovery.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spacenegroes:
i tried various durations of holding the buttons. none worked. 2nd AT&T logo, nope. 1st black screen, nope. 1st AT&T logo, nope.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
Your gonna have to get ADB set up on your pc. Then... "adb reboot recovery" will get u into recovery mode.
