I had an issue like this when the Danger servers went down due to Microsoft buying them out (for the old sidekicks). I (and all the other sidekick users) went 3 months without any service except calls and basic txt. Tmo did nothing for me or any of the other sidekick users except give out a 30 dollar gift card for the "inconvenience"

Changing your address doesn't change who you are, they can still collect and tank your credit.

Anyways you confuse me. You said no data for a month then later said next week will be 21 days.... And you already got a refund for a whole month. Diplomacy and being polite go pretty far with CSRs.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Chicago281:
Okay so far as of 2AM my data has been back and fantastic. I pray it holds up and it's not a temporary thing. Right now I can't complain.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] psykhotic:
So your month without data was less than 2 weeks.. wow.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Chicago281:
Hey man two weeks without data is a long time. That was two weeks without mobile e-mail, ability to send multimedia messages, no Facebook, Pandora, etc...

When you pay a company $150 a month for two lines you expect the services to work. When T-Mobile told me it would be resolved in 72 hours 5 times that got pretty annoying.

All in all glad it's working now. I'll take the month waived data. Hope it never happens again.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Exel:
My back story: I'm at work here, doing nothing since it's early in the morning, just setting up my station, I thought.. hey, I have full bars, let's do a speedtest. I realize my data is so slow to the point where nothing really opens. 125kpbs I believe it was. I was like.. what the.. I tried a few times, rebooted, turned airplane mode on and off, etc. You know.. troubleshooting steps. I decided to contact T-Mobile.

Well, I spoke to two reps.

First Rep:

The first one told me that I was being throttled. Although I still have about 1.5GB, I've only used about 500MB. He said he didn't know why but to try again later.

Second Rep:

Guided me through some troubleshooting steps and did some stuff on his end. Same problem. He said it may be some network problems, not sure about that. He was certain it was something of that nature and not my device. So now, he said to wait 48-72 hours.

Kind of like what they told the OP.

Not sure what to do in this situation, I understand OPs frustration.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] lattiboy:
I'm having an almost identical issue. For a bit I was going between amazing 18Mbps speeds and then worse than EDGE speeds. Now it's just worse than EDGE. CS rep said there were some "tower issues" which sounds like crap to me. I think there's something up with the data throttling system.

Super annoying as I depend on this thing for work.

Rep suggested I pull the SIM, boot without the SIM, and then boot again with the SIM. I haven't had time yet, but I'll try that later.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Chicago281:
I've spoken to several people with the same issues across the country and it's verified it's not data throttling. T-Mobile may be upgrading towers and that's the reason for the issues.

Right now everything is working excellent. Using my data like a pro. One thing you should check is when doing a speed test go to settings and see what servers it's letting you choose from. When I was having issues it would give me servers in like New York or Nebraska. Nothing near my actual home.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] JesseMT4G:
Had this happen a couple years ago. Went through all kind of steps with various CS reps and while helpful, went no where. Each one said check back in 48-72 hours.

End up finding out they were working on a tower.

Talk about a few hard weeks at work, lol! I definitely understand OP's frustration.

Not true, I got a brand new MyTouch 4G for about $25 when I threatened to leave over that sidekick fiasco
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dcmtnbkr:
true story

as far as issues earlier today, must have been a nationwide outage. I was in the break room where i normally get about 12mb down and couldnt get it to connect, a buddy of mine was having the same trouble at the same time.

As for OP, I know you have this fixed, but if it ever happens again and you really want out, be polite but work your way up with customer service, say they arent offering the coverage promised. When you get as high as you can, threaten to contact the bbb, and if that doesn't work, follow through with the threat. It'll take some time, but it worked for me. I'm back with t-mobile now because A. I don't like sprint and B. they fixed the coverage problem in my neighborhood.

Hi Guys,

There is a custom recover for various phones here: http://www.ps3hax.net/showthread.php?t=36767

This recovery is for entering service mode on the Playstation 3 system, using an android phone as a Jig device.

I am wondering if it is possible to port one of these recoveries to the HTC Sensation. Or use one of the ones already available on the Sensation?

Cheers.

aren't those usb jig devices (and the recovery-versions) obsolete now there are CFW firmwares for the PS3?

[General Questions and Answers] sumertiwari:
Hey Folks,

Hope you all are doing great with your phones. Well I'm not :(

i have a HTC Desire HD which I bought 14 months ago in India.

My current android version is 2.3.5

And let me tell you I'm not much of a technical guy like you all. I'm still a rookie in this field and I'm learning thats why I'm here. Now I want to upgrade my phone's OS to ICS.

So here is what I did-

1 Saw this vid of how to root HTC Desire HD

2. Downloaded the aahk 13012012.zip file and extracted it.

3. Switched off my anti virus and every thing like firewall and all.

4. Installed the HTC driver and put the phone on USB debugging mode.

4. I started the hack-ace.cmd file as the admin.

5. Pressed 1 and enter.

Then it said that enter the pass key, I did that.

6. Then it said that this hack wont work with this version of android, downgrade. I said okay and pressed y and enter.

7. Then it downloaded a big file and asked me 1-2 more question which I replied y.

8. But then it said some file didnt find and my phone was booted and then a red triangle came. I pressed the volume up and power key and chose reboot. But then agai it said failure and now my phone is again switched on with the same old 2.3.5.

Please help me people with this. I also want to taste the ICS. I desperately want to see it. Please reply...
[General Questions and Answers] g-wh122:
Well, I would suggest that you just try it again, but this time, instead of running the AAHK under Windows, create a Ubuntu CDROM and boot off of this CD as described in the AAHK effen manual. Worked for me.

EDIT: The version of the hack kit that you quote is quite old now - use the latest version.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lchiu7:
My GN which is rooted (only so I could remove takjuxw and put takju on it) and on 4.1.1 has this strange problem with the gyro.

After using a phone for a day or so, the gyro stops working. This manifests itself as the phone not autorotating when put into landscope mode, apps quick respond to shaking stop working and a game that rely on the phone being tilted side to side to move a character not responding.

The problem is always fixed by a reboot. But, and this is the puzzling aspect, the problem can also be corrected by doing the following.

- put the phone into standby mode

- orient the phone in landscape

- unlock the phone (I only use the slide lock) by moving the lock icon up to the top edge of the screen, holding it for a second or so and then releasing. The screen will freeze momentarily and then unlock to a landscape orientation. From then the auto rotation will work for a while.

From that it's hard to know if the problem is hardware or software but it occured with ICS, JB 4.1 and then JB 4.1.1 and on the first JB installation I did a complete wipe and installation.

Anybody seen this behaviour before and provide some ideas of what the problem could be?

Thanks

PLZ help
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
Adb wait-for-device reboot recovery or use button combo. Then reflash the cm7 kernel u were using...(if it is on ur phone to flash...if not u could mount usb from the recovery and transfer it from ur pc to ur phone.) Then reflash the cm7 Rom. U may need to do some wipes in recovery before flashin the Rom though.

Why did u try to flash the Corn Kernel onto CM7 Rom ?? Or were u just using the cwm in corn to get to cm7 ?

Anywho...u should be able to at least Heimdall/Odin back to Stock if all else fails.

Ok so i bought this razr off of craigslist and its a solid device so i dont want to give up on it it seems that it has been flashed to an unknown carrier all i know is the phone number that shows up in settings is area code 323 and wont go away i tried to activate it at a verizon and they got it all set up on their end but the device itself wasn't cooperating the rep at verizon tried to make a test call but it kept going to an automated message saying my account is out of funds and can not complete this call wtf? And we checked to see if the phone number changed it aaaand it didnt After three techs over the phone we couldn't get the damned thing to work The device wouldn't connect to verizons phone/text network but we did manage to get get lte i went to settings to see if i can update to 4.0 because its still running 2.3.6 but the button was greyed out... so im assuming its sum sort of rom made for a different carrier but im probably wrong

How do you flash the kernel ?

It need to be flash in fastboot mode with command "fastboot flash boot bootXXX.img"

Download attached file, extract on your PC desktop. Put your device in fastboot mode, connect to PC then run Install Boot.img.bat

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] behappy:
I sent off for a warranty replacement as my phone had the crackle/popping sound while playing music. The new phone should be here by tonight or tomorrow, so I wanted to put my current handset back to factory. Well, I flashed the stock kernel and also the stock rom from the samsung site (for model T999) and it gets stuck at the pulsating samsung logo. I came from Paranoid Android ROM

I am able to get into download mode, but not recovery mode. I have tried everything from multiple flash attempts of the stock rom+kernel to flashing recovery (cwm) through ODIN with no results. I need to get this bad boy back to factory settings before I send it back to T-mo or they might charge me retail pricing for the exchange.

Is there a way to wipe everything (including counter) from ODIN? I've searched several forums, but I haven't found an answer.

Any ideas on how to get this done will be greatly appreciated.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Exel:
Well, you need to get an absolute factory image (That includes EVERYTHING), I believe the sticky one in the Development section should do the trick.

But before that, in order to reset your counter, you have to use an app developed by Chainfire called, Triangle Away.

As I believe if you ODIN an official package/image, the counter doesn't go up.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] behappy:
I have been looking through the threads and don't see one labeled absolute factory image. A link would be greatly appreciated :D
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Exel:
1. Download this: http://samsung-updates.com/get/2144/Samsung_Firmware_SGH-T999_TMB_T999UVALH2_Android_4_0_4.html

It is the FULL stock firmware. t's roughly 720MB. It will be in a compressed format.

2. While that's downloading, you can Triangle Away your phone. (Note: Do it at your own risk.)

Download Link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=22463153 (Thanks to Chainfire.)

3. Run Triangle Away on your phone, it'll give you a warning message, and yadayadayada, click Reset Counter.

4. Once your download (Stock Firmware) is complete, extract the .tar.md5 file from the first link I gave you. (Use WinRAR or a similar program.)

That is the file you will ODIN to your phone (Add it to the PDA part of ODIN.)

5. Put your phone into download mode. (Confirm that the count is set at 0)

6. Odin like you normally would.

When you initially add it to ODIN, it will look like it gets stuck at <OSM> Please wait..

But it's only because it's a big file, wait it out.

It should finally continue and now it should say:

<OSM> T999UVALH2_T999TMBALH2_T999UVALH2_HOME.tar.md5 is valid.

<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..

<OSM> Leave CS..

And you should be ready to press Start.

Note: My phone isn't connected, but I took screenshots to help you out. You should see the yellow COM light up and whatnot when you have your phone connected.

Edit: I just realized you can't boot into a ROM to reset your counter, lol.

You'll prolly have to follow my steps twice.

Do steps 5 to 6 first, root your phone.

Then start over from step 1. (Of course you won't have to download the image again, but you know what I mean.)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] behappy:
I truly appreciate all of the effort you put into this, theexel. From the screen shots to the diagrams... It's people like you that make this community thrive.

On another note - that is exactly what I tried before, and it still won't boot. I downloaded the ROM from Samsung, and flashed it with Odin and it just gets stuck at the Samsung pulsating logo. Not sure where to go from this point as I can't get into recovery. Getting somewhat frustrated as I have flashed many-a-Rom on a multitude of devices and this has me stumped...:confused:

Any other ideas are welcomed. I have 7 days to figure this out before I have to mail back this phone in exchange for the new one I just received.

It is possible to reset counter?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] behappy:

Damn, this was a booger.... For some reason traces of CWM were still on the phone, and I had to flash the stock recovery through Odin. After that I wiped cache and factory reset through the stock recovery, and BAM! Booted up like a charm. Now I only have to root, use triangle away to get rid of the flash counter, unroot, and send this thing back to T-Mo. Ridiculous... The pains and glory of flashing custom Roms :victory:

Thanks again, theexel!

Really hope someone can help me with this problem I'm having. When I connect my Photon to a lapdock I don't get the option to use Webtop. The only options I get are Music, Gallery, and Mirror Screen. If I don't pick an option then all I see on the lapdock's screen is the red bouncing Motorola logo. When I choose either of those 3 options it displays on the lapdocks screen but I have no control of it via the touchpad or the keyboard. I have tried two different lapdocks, an Atrix that I modded myself and just now a Bionic, and both behave the same way.

As far as I know my phone isn't rooted or modded in any way. Only reason I'm not sure is because I bought my phone used close to a month ago. I have done a factory reset and wipe cache several times since I've owned it hoping that might help but so far it hasn't.
