Never had ATT's LTE, but I was in Chi town last weekend and VZW's LTE is blazing fast there. You only have to switch to the tiered plan if you purchase a subsidized LTE phone from them, if you buy one full price or craigslist or something you can keep your old plan. Also if you go to AT&T your gonna be on a tiered plan as well.
[Off-topic] yearziro:
yea i understand just not willing to pay 400-500 for a phone and at least with ATT i get 3gb for a reasonable price comapred to the 1 i would get with verizon

ATT 3GB - 450 mins and unlimited text comes out to be around -80

Verizon 4GB unlimited text and mins 125.00

and i dont care about text or mins as i use google voice for texting and voice

I'm just not sure why you'd want to get locked into another contract for two years if you don't have to. Since you're in a big city T-Mobile's 4G should already be rolling out and you can get Unlimited 4G month-to-month without signing a contract for the same price you're looking at with AT&T. If T-Mobile's coverage sucks there the guess that's that, but something to consider.

Hello guys,

I have an Xperia active rooted with ICS (sony official) and it just died. I got a phone call and before I even answer it the phone crashed and was unresponsive. I removed the battery and from that point on it doesn't boot. I just get a vibration and then nothing. It needs to remove the batter again in order to shut down.

Some things that might help

1) No response or led light when plugged into PC or wall charger

2) Can get to Fastboot and Flashmode

3) I tried flashing again ICS and 2.3.4 but still nothing. The flash finishes OK but I the phone doesn't turn on.

4) When tried flashing with Wipe Data option enabled I always get the Abort Flashing error.

Any help will be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

P.S. I apologize for posting this twice. I just noticed that this would be a more appropriate section for this post.

I've got an 8GB Nexus 7, rooted. It's still running the factory installed ROM, though, it's just rooted. I changed the pixel density so it could be in the tablet UI, but I noticed it was missing many games and apps (namely Angry Birds and Facebook), as is the entire section for Play Books. I reverted to the standard pixel density (213), but they are still missing. How can I get these back? Do I have to do a factory reset?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoyJayt96:
Usually changing dpi messes with things like that. I suggest installing a stock rooted rom and flash the tablet ui located in the android development forum or you could flash the Kaos rom which has the option to switch from stock to tablet ui back and forth in the settings. You might want to backup your apps and their data before doing anything.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twinsfan14:
Hey, thanks for the reply. Can you direct me to or recommended a certain ROM? I'd like to keep the full tablet UI, but I'd also like to keep the tablet as stock as possible and have 100% of the features 100% working.

Great rom! It gives you options while installing, through aroma installer, practically any launcher and most kernels. I recommend you choose the stock kernel and the stock launcher. Runs smooth once you let it bake. Do not install the true tablet ui with the rom because you can switch to it in settings > system>status bar and it's under general.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twinsfan14:
Thanks, I will try it out for sure. I assume you flash via CWM?

This is driving me nuts. The signal in my area was ass, so I yelled at Sprint until they sent me an airrave. Now that my signal is piggybacking off house wifi I see four bars nearly all the time, unless I'm in a bathroom on another floor.

Despite that, however, I'm still having calls with family drop on me. Beep before the call will indicate I'm on the airrave, call is going fine, and then the hangup beep, with the occasional "Call has been lost" notification. If I look at the phone immediately after the call has been lost, I see the LOS icon (i.e. the bars disappear and it becomes a solid, gray triangle) for a second, then goes back to 4 bars,

WTF, Sprint.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bossfrog42:
I have the same issue. I came up with a strange repair. Strip of aluminum foil over the 3g antena flatened and spread to the back of the phone taped and a good phone case put over it. Since the foil (even cheap no name foil) is made of 99% pure aluminum. This is a good conductor. I have it on my phone. Now places I never got signal I get atlease two bars. And my droped calls stoped. Simple low tech fix.

If you look at the pic the three darker parts are the major antennas. Left (largest) is 3g, center top is gps and right is 4g.

These antannaes are tuned to exact lengths. By altering that you can severely mess up your signal. Although having a tin foil antannae sitting on top of your actual antannae not even making contact is just blocking the waves. The same as those gimmicks on TV telling you to place their sticker under the battery.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bossfrog42:
Not true. As long as you do not modify the stock attenna it will work. All the receiver will know is that it has better access to the signal. Besides. Prove me wrong. Try it. I have ran multiple tests in several different environments. It will not provide a dramatic boost. But will provide enough signal to make phone calls and roam the web. It's simple science. Look it up. Do your own research. The same tech that makes NFC work makes this possible. Look, I was looking for a simple fix to help me get a signal while at work. Since my work is in a valley, this helps. It may not be what your looking for. Don't modify the stock attenna. Don't cut anything. Just put. Two pieces over each attenna. Don't let them touch. Put the case back on. Reset the phone. And just try it. If it does not work. Take it off and return back to what it was before. No harm done. Think about it. What would I gain by telling a lie?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
Might do it then since with out airvana I seriously get about 0-2 IF I am lucky which is sh%t. I walk outside about 100 feet and i get 3-5 bars.

but after upgrading, has given me the battery fault that I was 100%

I tried several times to put him the Fix battery, but nothing at all ...

so I've taken to "Flashing" the Defy, first I tested with

ME722BL6.sbf

later with

rom_froyo.sbf

and when I RDSLite says "the phone is beein Rebbot" or something .. I restart, get the Motorola logo disappears .. and goes blank ..

and puts me in RDSLite "Finished" and "PASS"

Defy but does nothing ... and when I press the power button is switched off, give it back, turn again as "Bootloader" with the following error

Err: A5, 70,39,00,27

I've also tried to say next. "sbf"

bl7-2.3fix.sbf

can help me???

I'm already not to do ... took all day ..

before i try to upgrade to CM10-20120904 i have kernel 2.3.4 and i think that the same "rom_froyo.sbf", because i made only one time Flash with RDSLite...

from first and unique flash with RDSLite, only i made update from recovery mode - install zip from sd

only put cm7, cm9 and cm10, then the Gapps... and the last time when upgrade to cm10 i made, install cm10.zip, install kernel 2.3.4, and install gapps...

As you flashed ME722BL6.sbf, you are now on BL6 and I assume that's a Defy+ ROM, so no downgrade to Froyo. Try flashing the ME722BL6.sbf file again and don't flash froyo ROM on top of it. If it gets stuck on M logo, go to recovery and do a factory reset.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] friedsonjm:
OK, I confess it... I'm a root-n-rom-aholic! Nook color, my old just-replaced Droid X, and my new Nexus 7 all have had many ROMs, kernels, etc. and I've enjoyed, well, most of it.

Now may be different. For starters, I'm a consultant, my phone is tool first, toy second (tablet the other way around). It HAS to work, which is why I ended up custom ROMing my DX - I went through 4 phones before I realized, its the software, stupid! My N7 allows me to continue what I started with my old Nook, only now making a good machine even better.

With the S3, things are a bit different...

First, the darn thing works pretty well, other than battery life, and that may change with then next OTA update to JB. While I'm not very fond of the old ICS interface, in general, if it ain't broke, don't fix it?

Second, unlike my old DX, its still under guarantee, and while I think I could recover from any 'brick,' there is always the chance of not...

and replacement would NOT be inexpensive.

Third, I don't miss root-level backup as much as I might - because all my apk's are backed up from the N7 installation if I ever needed to recover them; data is another matter, as is setting up my Apex launcher, but all doable if I'm stuck.

Anyway, I think right now I'm going to wait for the OTA to JB, see if 'rooting' is still possible after that, then we'll see..

just my $.02

regards, jf
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wierdo124:
I'll probably mess around somewhat but I've slowly eased off too. My OG Droid ran every ROM available at one point or another. Working camera? Meh, not a big deal.

My Incredible 2 was a little mroe reserved. It worked well with Sense and i didn't like AOSP on it, thoguht it felt weird. So i stuck with a nearly stock Sense 2.1 setup.

SGS3 is better yet. I want to try AOSP but the epic camera app in TW has me shying away, I don't want to lose those features. Do'nt care about the sharesshot or anything but other things are really awesome. On top of that, it has to be stable and everything has to work.

Running Synergy now, mainly because I got too sick and tired of VZ Backup Assistant Plus trying to back **** up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] VDubb:
I'm with you on staying stock for now. Prior to me going with the iPhone full-time, custom ROMs where the best way for me to get a stable experience on my old devices due to the bloated nature of manufacturer custom skins back in the day.

Now that I switched from the iPhone to Android with the Galaxy S3, I don't feel the need to use a custom ROM to get good performance. The only temptation for me to move to JB is for Google Now, but I don't want to lose some of the features of TouchWiz...namely the camera app.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Shibby87:
If you wait until the next OTA, rooting may be likely, but you may be stuck with kexec if it breaks our current method of unlocking the bootloader. Adam Outler specifically stated that flashing the leaked aboot image on an OTA other the our current will most likely brick your GS3, so I'd unlock and root now then wait for the next JB OTA to be ported.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Credrili:
Coming from the OG Droid Incredible I miss some root level things -- but I still haven't rooted yet. I think what I'll do is wait for a stable CM rom to be released, make sure to wait it out a bit for some common problems to occur, then go through it.

Some grips I have about the phone, for example the home button is nice.. there was a physical button on the Dinc, it wasn't anything new. Except the fact it wakes the screen. The phone is in my pocket.. seriously.

Messaging app stinks, but so does everything else on the Play store. CM7 messaging app -- I want that back.

Music player stinks, too much bling. If I wanted power amp, I would buy it (and that's better).

The hardware.. now this is where everything shines. The camera is awesome, fast, no slow downs. The 2GB of RAM is nice too with multiasking.

Playing DK 64 and going back and forth was a dream with my Dinc. Not anymore. USB OTG, even better with my USB drives, keyboard/mouse or even wired controllers.

The phone is great while stock, minus some opinions.. you can't please everyone. Some things deserve a toggle though, such as the home button wake screen = off or on? Choices like that would make the Sammy experience even better.

Stable CM for Verizon will be released sometime.. (hopefully). :good:

Im in love with root level access. I started out with the OG Droid. Went thru 4 of those, on purpose. 3 Droid X. 2 Droid Eris. 2 Droid 2. and got 2 SGS3, one for me and one for my sister.

All of which were rooted and rom'd. All except for my sisters. I see no difference in usability with the S3. Just being rom'd allows me to access options quicker.

I use my phone for work and it has not failed me yet.

Only issues sometimes is the forced reboots.

Every device i have ever owned, i have modified it to allow root access. Computers, Tablets, Apple products, Game consoles, and Android.

[Droid X General] KShion619:
Plain and Simply i cannot seem to get into Recovery as my Home button doesnt register. and im on the .621 update and im in a bootloop coming from MIUI v4 (the Rom i had previously) any ideas?
[Droid X General] bhigham:
Sorry I can't answer your question definitively, but I have a thought of a possible method, and someone else can maybe tell if this would work or not.

I think that you could feasibly flash a userdata partition at bootloader using linux sbf_flash, but I don't know if doing so will erase the data or add to it.

If it would properly erase it, you could potentially get someone to make a copy of a blank userdata partition, and flash that.

Then, once the phone is booted, you could use adb to get to recovery, adb reboot recovery.

Like I say, I don't know if this would work or not, and I don't have the droid x personally, so just throwing the idea out as a possibility.
[Droid X General] freakboy13:
I am going to assume its too late, but from now on why not sacrafice the search button and make it your home button by reaasigning the values to said buttons? Theoretically I would assume its possible.

But if you still have your phone's os running, and just want to delete data and/or make sure your recovery works 100% try playing around with this. Remember always SAVE your origina files JIC! you'll need root explorer or comparable and root access of course.

in this order go to:

system

usr

keylayout

(and I believe )

possibly the qwerty.kl ?

IM not 100% sure as the moto build seems different than my hoxl or gs3.

maybe some more knowledgeable peeps can better assist you but I believe this is a better option than sbf'ng all the time.

You may even be able to assign the search key a limited search function with a longpress?

Look into it, I would but dont own the dx anymore.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] afunyun:
So I'm relatively new to android in general, and I've always assumed that the stock apps on a manufacturer ROM are just something that are there and you can't do anything about it (They don't normally have an uninstall option from the launcer)

I was playing around with ROM Toolbox and I stumbled across the uninstall apps feature (Which I had previously not used because I figured it was redundant) and discovered, by uninstalling Peep, that it can actually uninstall the stock apps included with my rom.

Is this a bad practice in general or is it something that people do all the time? I don't really want to break things so I'm not going to touch any of the more central services or anything but say I want to uninstall the stock gallery and replace it with a Jellybean one from the market. It won't break everything, right?
