[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
I am lookink into this problem and this is really only a problem of ussd codes, because ussd does not need to be confirmed.

However providing tel: data type from browser is normal, so you can dial right from it. Any other number must be confirmed by dial button.

The question is, if JB browser is really not affected, or JB dialer just do not handle *#06# ussd code. I did not try it.

There should be exception for usage of * or # marks with VIEW intent, in the dialer I think.

On the other side, from what I know, none of ussd codes, that does not need to be confirmed by dial button, are not interactional with service provider.

These ussd codes are just for running activities. Nothing else. You can run the activity, but you cannot change anything.

If I am mistaken and there exists some ussd code, that does not need to be confirmed and changes something or sends some data somewhere, please tell me.

Hmm, just tried most of codes in my rom. Most of them must be confirmed by dial button or leading to programming menu, where you must enter password or just providing onscreen info about version or imei, etc.

*#*#4636#*#* just starts phone info activity and there is no way to continue browsing this activity from the browser.

My results are, that I don't see any security issue here.

Just watched the video. Samsung and their touchwiz - what more can I say. :D

One link, if you don't understand, what am I writing about.

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/09/25/samsung_flaw/

This is really only Samsung problem and his inability to secure such thing like wiping whole phone by a password.
[Motorola Photon 4G] AGiLiT:
On MoPho stock 2.3.5. Boat Browser is affected. Interestingly, RoboForm, which has it's own browser is not.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
(check your PM)

In most cases many folks will be fine as long as they pay attention to what's going on. The other side to this is that the Electrify/Photon family of phones was sold world wide and there are some USSD codes that are specific to the carrier and these codes are generally built into the dialer. If you know what device and what carrier someone is one you can cause a lot of panic. For obvious reasons I'm not going to go into specific examples but those that have pranked somebody using USSD codes know what I'm talking about.

The safest bet for those that are concerned is to use a third party dialer that doesn't process USDD and command codes. I personally use Dialer One as my default dialer.

So I bought the sgp neo hybrid case. I like it cause its not that bulky and will give a bit more drop protection vs my cruzerlite tpu case. But the buttons are extremely sensitive and don't seem to line up.

The side bow out just a hair around the buttons.

Is there anyone else out the with this issue or am I being too picky??

[Galaxy S III Accessories] ahfu25:
Email Spigen. This is a known issue and they have revised their Neo-Hybrid case for the SG3. You should have no problem getting it replaced so long as its authentic.

Good evening everyone will. Something strange is happening a while back here. One count of battery settings, the counter is counting in ascending rather than descending order.

Have tried several Roms, installed the Stock Rom and nothing. Everything in it. I wonder if anyone else has experienced this, or if any developer knows how to solve the problem.

Thank you everyone who helped me will, and sorry for my english.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GuestK00182:
anyone?:(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lookitzjohnny:
from the looks of it, it shows that your phone is charging. so thats probably why it shows as ascending
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] killyouridols:
Yeah. That cable that connects it to the wall does that...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] L3m0nAc1d:
I noticed this happening to my phone one night when I didn't have my charger on me. I put it in airplane mode and the battery percentage went up. I assumed it was because a change in temperature.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GuestK00182:
No no no, even with it unplugged, the counter continues counting in ascending order.

I'm sick of sprint and their horrible data speeds. I want to leave but the fee is just nuts
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] luckylui:
Yup yup and yup. I agree, $350 per line. Sorry man! I just bounced on them. They failed to provide the service I needed and they didn't. Wouldn't budge with letting me out...so I bounced on them and had them eat the money. On my credit report, I wrote off "Not my debt"= Clear off my rec.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DaMan90:
Yeah flash a custom prl and go over the roaming data limits
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] atlgator:
Did it for a month or two without Sprint batting an eye. It would take months for Sprint to notice, all the while your phone depreciates further. Either bite the bullet and pay the fine, or reneg and hope you can have the collection erased from your credit report. How anyone can have that erased by saying 'not my debt' is a complete mystery and should not be heeded as sound advice.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Three options:

1) Pay the ETF

2) Just live with it and leave at the end of the contract

3) After choosing #1 or #2, never sign a contract again
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] luckylui:
Annualcreditreport.com

That's where I get my info. There's a tab to "dispute" comment "not my debt".

#Galaxy Nexus HSPA+
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
So you're suggesting fraudulently reporting that you didn't take on the debt?

Smart.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] reuthermonkey:
The fee is to cover the cost of the phone. Pay the ETF, sell the phone and get a GSM one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
So there was no guarantee of service speed or anything of the sort in your contract. When you signed a contract, there is no clause that if they don't provide a certain service to you that you're

entitled

to leave the contract. You either have to pay to leave, or continue to pay out your remaining months of service, those are your only legal options.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thedudejdog:
Just roam on Verizon a lot. Flash a modded prl. You'll get fast speeds for a few months then Sprint will terminate you.

Worked for me :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rygran87:
I know what you mean by the data speeds. Currently I'm blazing at a whopping 22kbps! I keep calling about this and then sometimes after, the speeds jumped to 2Mbps then back down to nearly unusable speeds. You can't connect to the Play Store at speeds this low. It just errors out saying that the connection timed out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] luckylui:
So.

They failed to provide me service..soooo there the ones pretty much eating the debt. Not in my hands.. gotta play like the government. On some BS game.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
You're fooling yourself if you think it won't end up on your credit report. All you did was dispute it. The CRA will verify the debt is yours with Sprint and it will be on your report until you prove that it is not your debt or you settle with Sprint (or several years from the date you left Sprint when it falls off automatically). And no, saying 'not my debt' does not prove that it is not yours.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] luckylui:
....By the way its already been closed. How can you say, what a person can't do. Have you been in there situation? Are you the credit agency? If neither.. then, you don't know what your talking about. I can tell you I've been there.. its clearly on my report as "Settled" since 09. Anymore, "assuming" ?s

Hey OP, have you tried playing with PRL's and Radios? On my E4GT I was able to get up to 2MB/s(?) down and 1up. U sually averaged around 1.5MB but it was nice being able to stream HQ videos and music. On my Gnex I get about half of that but my upload is way high an dI have yet to play with PRl's or radios. It's just a thought but it's worth trying.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
Congratulations on them not verifying the debt. I wouldn't count on them always siding with someone just saying "it's not mine" when common sense says Sprint has every right to try to recoup the money per the contract all users agree to. I didn't remember Sprints ETF being $350 three years ago. I'm pretty sure it was on $200 back then when I was with them.

Didn't you have an Evo3D when I did (like less than a year ago)? :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thos25:
Flash a roaming prl and download as much data as possible.

I believe that they let you out if you move to an area that they don't cover. Use their coverage map to find some areas they don't cover. Call them and tell them your job is transferring you to Billings Montana or something and you want to check coverage at a couple addresses you are looking at (check realtor.com to get a few addresses). Make sure you already know there is no coverage based off of coverage map. When they tell you no coverage ask them how they handle it if there is no coverage. Chances are you get out right there. Especially if you've already been roaming a lot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] atlgator:
They'll need proof of move or transfer. Just pay the $350, sell whatever device you have to cover the expense and move on. Sprint is awful.

Recommending someone to risk f***ing their credit for 10 years to save a few bucks is a pretty **** move either way.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dante501:
The rule is three months excessive roaming before they gonna kick u of the contract.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] frigidazzi:
If they change something minor I the tos you should be able to get out.

They changed the way they calculate family plans fine months back so that it cost me like 8 bucks more s month because I no longer got company discount on the added phones. I called and emailed a couple times saying I don't agree with the changes and won't pay it then they said ok you have 60 days to leave without etf. Sold e4gt for 350 then bought gn and use TMobile for 30 bucks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BrianDigital:
You cab tell them you got a brain tumor
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blankit:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
You're not entitled to leave your contract just because you think they didn't fulfill their service agreement. There's no guarantee of speeds in your contract. They don't owe you anything, and you have no legal grounds to leave your contract. You deserve to be charged the entire ETF for leaving.

Its douchebags like you that leave your contract and dispute the debt fraudulently that make carriers jack up ETFs and lock down devices.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] I Am Marino:
I didn't read the whole thread but if his service sucks with them, I feel he deserves to get out ETF free.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
He may "deserve" it, but that doesn't give him legal recourse to get out of his ETF. Everyone knows when you sign a contract that you're obligated to pay either way, anything less is a gift from the company. He can call and complain and if he has a valid complaint and the company wants to let him out of the contract then that's one thing, but just leaving because you feel entitled to not pay the ETF is absurd.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
Signed an agreement for cellular service... they fail at providing what I am contracted for... so they are voiding said contract. -_- If he's got terrible to no signal he has legal right to get that agreement canceled. However if its just because data speeds are low... that's another story.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
If this was the case, then there are ways to handle it that don't involve simply leaving and having your account in delinquency then denying the debt to a credit reporter. If you have a legitimate reason that could be grounds for termination of a contract (change of ToS, failure to service a handset, etc.) then you should have no problem talking to the carrier

directly

and dealing with the problem. More likely than not, they'll let you out of the contract and you can be done with it. If you have a legitimate complaint they'll handle it accordingly. Carriers are just businesses, and they know that it's likely more financially viable for them to let you out of a contract than keep costing them money in Customer Support costs.

But as I said, even if you feel they aren't providing you with a good service, there's actually

no agreement for a certain level of service in your contract

. Again, you may think that you've been promised something, but you actually haven't. The burden of proof that the contract was void is on the person who

knowingly signed the contract

, not on the entity that administered the contract. When you signed, you

agreed to pay the full amount or be penalized the ETF

.

This is the actual case, and he's just whining about it and then illegally leaving without payment.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] poda13:
Quite the interesting thread going on. I actually moved to sprint over a year ago from VZW. The cost of the 4 phones I had with them was not worth the speed. I've been relatively happy with them so far in the Phoenix, AZ area.

**Im a junior member, isnt that cute...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
There are plenty of ways they are giving you less than ideal service, but more often than not its not actually a scam. Sprint is very smart to not do anything that would actually breach their contracts with customers.

Someone experiencing slow speeds on Sprint because they have a ****ty network isn't a scam -- its just a ****ty network.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KennyG123:
Thread cleaned

Another thread turned to crap!

Nice going!

OP: Next time Google or check service maps for providers in your area before deciding on one. Most providers offer a 2 week cancellation option.

Also Sprint offers free Airaves to those with no service in their home. It is a Femtocell.
