Yes, it works

I unlocked my through t-mobile. Just call them, let them know you're traveling overseas the following day and need to sim unlock the phone. I've done this a countless number of times to unlock my phones.

Afterwards put your new sim in and punch in the proper APN settings:

Name: AT&T PTA

APN: pta

Proxy:<Not set>

Port:<Not set>

Username:<Not set>

Password:<Not set>

Server:<Not set>

MMSC: http://mmsc.mobile.att.net

MMS port: 80

MMS protocol: WAP 2.0

MCC: 310

MNC: 410

Authentication type:<Not set>

APN type: default,admin,fota,mms,supl,hipri

Restart and you're good to go.

You have to defend your post a little better than simply saying, "I don't think so." I gave reasons, please either refute them or supply your own arguments. I'm open to advice as well.

Thank you sir, this is exactly what I was hoping to find. I really appreciate your help.

of course it is a good trade, bigger screen, bigger battery, white s3 (most beautiful thing i've seen), better camera

Its an amazing trade. The Gnex is way behind. CPU, GPU, ram, camera, screen quality (S3 screen is better, look it up if you don't believe me), battery life is superior, and is a better phone in every way hardware wise.

I had the Gnex before.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] einrae214:
True that. This phone is a good phone but I have a upgrade this month and wondering if there is anything newer coming down the pipe line. The only thing that bugs me is the fact I can't talk and listen to music with my beats headphones.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] icd-evil:
From what I can tell, this fall should be a great season for new phones. LG is releasing a bunch of top notch devices, and I think Sony is too. There is more info on phandroid. I can't really speak on which will end up with T-mobile, but they've been pretty good lately about acquiring the flagship devices.

I love the GNex, it is fast and incredibly smooth with CM10. I think it's more out of boredom and phone whoring that I am searching for a new phone. The GNex meets and exceeds my needs, I just want to try the S3 too.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] einrae214:
Yeah I just saw this a couple of hours ago.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] icd-evil:
I just went through with the trade. Data and all other network activities are working fine, I got the trader to call T-mo and ask for an unlock code. I'm running a CM10 build, but for whatever reason it's not as smooth as my Gnex was. The home screen is choppy and some activities lag. I'm hoping that the newer nightlies will fix this. The camera is nicer, the screen is about the same.

I'm kinda torn. I loved how open the Nexus was, there were so many options for customization. I have to be much more careful picking things out to flash here, especially considering that I'm on the ATT network with a non-ATT phone.

Overall I like it, but I think I was happier with my nexus.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] arctic84:
Just run the AOKP rom. It seems to be buttery smooth to me (except in landscape mode). Officially jellybean will be rolling out soon enough.. then i'm sure you'll be plenty happy. I had a nexus before this phone.. it felt far slower to me..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] case0:
From The Verge:

"Orange has announced that the Samsung Galaxy S III will receive its Quick Tap mobile payment system starting September 5th. Orange launched Quick Tap over a year ago, but the Galaxy S III is the first Android smartphone to use the system. Orange and Barclaycard provide the Quick Tap service, which they say is available in over 100,000 locations in the UK. The service allows users to make payments of up to £20 without having to enter a PIN.

Like other mobile payment wallets, Galaxy S III owners using Quick Tap in the UK can link up their various debit or credit cards from UK MasterCard or Visa. Orange is offering a £50 bonus credit for new customers when they activate Quick Tap, starting Wednesday."

What are the chances that the apk can be pulled and installed on the Galaxy Nexus? I'm fed up of waiting (for nearly a year) for Google Wallet in the UK.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NFC Guy:
I've explained a little about it here: http://www.nfcbrief.com/2012/09/orange-first-to-launch-uk-android-nfc.html

I'm assuming that Orange have opted to use the SIM as the secure element. If that's the case, it could be bad news for Nexus owners. I don't think stock AOSP Android has support for SIM secure elements (not 100% sure on this), meaning that, even if you acquired one of these new SIMs from Orange (and downloaded the Quick Tap apk), it likely wouldn't work with the Galaxy Nexus.

Custom ROMs might be able to fix that, though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dandwhelan:
OH wow, I really hope this comes to Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] case0:
Just saw your update on the article you posted:

"UPDATE: I've received word from Orange that they will indeed be using new SIMs as the secure element for Quick Tap on Android. This means that the majority of NFC-enabled Android devices will be able to use the application, as long as Orange have approved each device. Notable exceptions likely include the Nexus devices, as it is unclear whether Google have enabled SIM secure element support in 'vanilla' Android. Quotes can be found below."

That sucks! Any chance you could ask if the Galaxy Nexus will be supported? Seeing as you are already in touch with them?

And just out of curiosity what is the advantage of using a SIM as a secure element? Is there a chance that Google have enabled support for it?

Thanks

Hi all,

I am wondering how to replace the apps along the bottom of this Infuse 4G (ATT).

It is rooted, unlocked and I do have CWM v2.5.1.3 Red Voodoo Lagfix installed.

It has 2.3.6 currently installed. I think that it is a ATT Rom as the bootanimation is the ATT water drops.

guys need help here.. recently i water damage my S2.. ill let it dry for a couple of weeks by using hair dryer.. and after two weeks.. try to open the phone using of course different battery because the old one was already soaked with water so ill rather not use that.. and hold and behold it opened up...

here's the problem..

1: Battery charging - Too hot or too cold to continue ..

* i got this message when charging even though the back was not that hot.. (tried different battery with it...tried to clean the usb port...)

2: MTP connected - it always says that mtp connected and its annoying..(USB debugging unchecked)...

3: Simcard - No network coverage (selected network not available).. tried switching it to flight mode .. nothing happens...

and the rest is going smoothly..

is it possible to fix this issue by rooting the phone again with different rom or other stuff... (phone is rooted already..)

can someone help me with this one.. i dont have the warranty of the phone, because i lost my receipt.. and i bought this outside the country...

TIA...

Is there a set of google apps to download that will match the samsung calandar.. etc... I'm loving the paranoid android rom but am misssing all the motion controls etc?

If you flash any non touch wiz rom you loose all the samsung added features.

AOSP ROMs will not have Touchwiz features. Searching would help
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] loopers:
Thanks for the help.. I don't really care about the touch wiz screen as much as I do the samsung caladar that's really the main thing... I like the calandar and some of the samsung apps better... The one thing that is the biggest killer for me, is the motion controls and tones.. sure tones could be moved over.. but the motion controls may be tough.. once I have enough posts I think maybe i'll talk to the DEVS about possibly porting over a gs3 specific (keeping motion controls and sounds) rom... Not sure if they'd like that though considering they are with a broader audience..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fr8cture:
It wont be possible since Touchwiz is a different framework, it might be possible once TouchWiz gets 4.1.1
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chaplngrillsgt:
Go back to stock

Any ROM will not have the TouchWiz features. If you cannot do without them, then you should go back to stock. As for your calendar, you should consider using Google Calendar, that way if you switch away from Samsung but stay with Android you won't have any issue with your calendar. There are also a ton of apps to make the Google Calendar better.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MeX_DK:
I had been under the impression the stock browser for the JB build for the SGS3 was actually chrome. It however seems it is not since the fix to make desktop mode stick does NOT work for the stock browser.

So does someone know of a way to get the stock JB browser to actually stop showing mobile sites and actually serve the proper full on websites as well?. And yes I have tried the chrome-command line file, but that doesn't work for the stock browser as previously stated, so either the stock JB browser is not chrome or something else is wrong.

So can someone please help me achieve this, ie getting no annoying mobile view on my SGS3?

thank you :D
[HTC One S] woelki:
Hi all,

I have got the One S now for some weeks and I'm really satisfied. But I got one problem using my handset handsfree via bluetooth. I can take an incoming call via clicking the BT headset, but I can do anything via clicking it when the device is in standby. Though I can react, but not act. I have got the experience from my old HTC Desire when I click on the BT headset, that the voice search starts or I got the possibility to choose an application.

I already called the HTC support, but they were not very nice and said, that they can only support HTC accessoires. But I can not believe that I want to use accessoires from third party manufacturers.

So where is the problem? Is it a HTC problem? Is it related to Android 4.0 or is it related to a few amount of compatible BT headsets?

Already tested with Sennheiser EZX 60 and Jabra EasyGo.

Thanks in advance.

Ok, let's keep it simple. To all One S users with a Bluetooth headset:

I have been having a reboot problem on my t989, it has been turning itself after ive turned it off when i plug it into a charger.I have been trying to figure this problem out for the last to months and a havent pin pointed the problem. i have checked if it was the sd card and it wasnt that , it happened two months ago when i was running darkside evolution v8 tdj.and have tried many roms to see if it was darkside and it was not. but whenever I switch to a stock firmware such as GB or stock tmobile ICS the problem stops. i am currently running clones and drones. please if anyone knows how to fix this problem or knows whats causing this to happen it will be very appreciated. thank you!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tronmech:
Sounds to me like you already know the cause. When you go back to stock, do you also replace the recovery? I seem to recall there was a similar glitch in the tmo g2 where it would boot to recovery if it was powered off when attached to the charger.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jgizmo:
Its not booting into recovery its turning itself on. And yes when I switch to the stock firmware I flash it via Odin.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tronmech:
Well, I would say to try at least one other rom. The phone has to at least partially start up in order to control the charge cycle. (Chainfire has a charge animation replacement for one of the galaxy s phones on the play story, IIRC) So at least part of the kernel starts...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jgizmo:
Okay I will try that. And I was watching it do the self turn on and on the top corner very shortly it says something about safe mode and I'm guessing that's directly corrilated with the problem but how is it related is my question
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TropicalFruit:
My phone is rooted and the screen has gone all fuzzy so you can't see anything at all.

My warranty is still active and it would get voided if they find out.

Would I be able to get away with it because they can't see the superuser app?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacklebott:
They could easily see the superuser app, actually. As long as the phone can connect to the computer, that is (via adb). I suggest flashing back to stock with Flashtool before using your warranty
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] otonieru:
Just flash it to stock ROM before send for warranty
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bombasti:
Also you should re-lock your bootloader, if it's unlocked.

without init.d support(stock rom).......

with init.d support (custom rom)......

the instruction under "with init.d support" says :

under /system/etc/init.d

should I just create 00pptimize file in /etc/init.d instead?

All you have to do is follow the instructions I gave. You'll need to DL the new init.d file and flash in CWM- this will overwrite any existing init.d folders you have. From there, you can choose your OC method (either using Terminal Emulator or Root Explorer file manager) to edit the frequency scaling of the echo table values...

[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
ok, your answer will now make up another 2 questions....... :

1. it seems usually editing init.d may mean changing the kernel....

stock kernel cannot overclock?

A) Even with a custom ROM that has 'built-in' over clicked init.d files, it's still using the stock kernel. Because of the locked bootloader on the Atrix 2, we do not have the ability to flash custom kernels. That being so, you have to flash the init.d file through CWM to gain init.d support to overclock.

2. are there really no shortcuts if I only want to try to overclock?

A) I'm not sure what you mean by "shortcut". The methods I outline are fairly easy and have noted success both with the stock Motorola ROM and with custom ones as well.

I don't know....

I am new to all this thing

I just don't wanna get too deep into the "bootloader" stuff

but then, I'll have to ask again....

now, actually I have a init.d folder, just in different directory

will your "without init.d support" method create another WHOLE init.d in /system ?

or it just only rewrite everything in my existing /etc/init.d

I'll have to ask is because, there's plenty files there

I am quite afraid if that method rewrite too many files(and even some is lost)

I don't know what will be the consequences
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
Don't worry yourself about the bootloader, there's nothing you nor myself nor anyone else can do with it/to it. It's locked, and that's that.

When you DL the file in the "prerequisites" section, and flash it, it will overwrite your existing init.d files. It's all spelled out for you there, not sure why this isn't connecting with you.

Make sure you backup via CWM prior to doing anything, just in case. If you can attach a screenshot of what your init.d folder includes, it might be more helpful.

Everything you'll need is in the guide thread I posted, files, instructions for adding the init.d support, and two ways of Overclocking the CPU. I wrote it to be "n00b friendly"... :thumbup:

[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
You are looking in the wrong place, since you are on 2.3.6 you are looking in /etc which is webtop, not your ROM.

You will need to install a GB ROM with init.d support, if you start trying to do this yourself with not much knowledge of linux or android, it is easy to mess something up. If you install a ROM with init.d support, you can take a look at the rom and see what it is doing.

/etc and /system/etc are two completely different operating systems, so be very carefull, if you decide to try and get init.d working on your own!
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
The /etc/init.d is a directory containing initialization and termination scripts for changing init states. These scripts are linked when appropriate to files in the rc?.d directories, where "?" is a single character corresponding to the init state. Every ROM including the stock Moto ROM has an init folder.

The init.d linked in the guide provides and 00pptimze foder, which allows for the editing of the echo table values to modify CPU frequency scaling. This is necessary for overclocking your CPU.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
No that is webtop...

/system/etc is the rom.... please be careful... 2.3.6 is not the same as ICS.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
Oops. :o

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 Anti-Motorola Ballistic Missile
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
No worries Apex_Strider.... It is just that the OP is doing the same thing and looking in /etc, which is webtop in 2.3.6, in ICS it is a link to /system/etc so... to the OP, you will need to do the init.d hack and MAKE SURE you put them in /system/etc, NOT /etc.

This is a good point...my original answer to this question was based on ICS...you had me worried that I had given the wrong advice! But since I'm a trust but verify kinda person (even if it is myself), I did verify that on ICS the directories /etc/init.d and /system/etc/init.d contain the same files.
