flashed cm10, and it works. i cant thank you guys enough for spending your time on a newb like me :D i was wondering where a GAPPS package would be?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
The blue Kindle Fire logo and boot menu you see is not TWRP, it's FireFireFire.

What happens when you select "reset boot mode"? "recovery"?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shorticus_Noob:
i fixed it along with the help of this amazing community. the not connecting to pc was due to my cable being made for a phone, and my computer.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brndnddge:
Since you are on CM10, you can get GAPPS from their website.

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Gapps#Google_Apps

You want the GAPPS for CM10. Good choice in ROM IMO.

Edit: You flash GAPPS from your Kindle this way:

1. Download GAPPS from the link above

2. Scroll Down on the notification bar at the top

3. Tap the GAPPS.ZIP file

4. ROM Manager Opens

5. Leave the bottom box checked and tap OK

6. TAP OK again and the device will reboot into recovery and install GAPPS

i find it funny you know alot about this stuff yet you havent held a kindle fire before....lol
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brndnddge:
I know a lot about nothing and a little about alot. Once a device is rooted and has a custom recovery installed, there isn't much variation in flashing a ROM. As long as you can get into recovery, whether it be TWRP, CWM or 4EXT Recovery, the process is about the same. Plus I have followed CM since CM6... Which helps out a lot :)

Edit: XDA's search feature helps out a lot too!

so i use handcent program as opposed to the default one and while using it all of a sudden all my texts from the beginning of time are gone! the program didn't quit or anything, i just went back to the main menu and everything was gone.

is there a way to restore this at all?

i read somewhere a while back that handcent actually stores all your incoming and outgoing sms regardless of whether you delete them, in a database file. i tried searching for it but couldn't find anything on that.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Azianmunk:
That's a shame, I had the same thing happen to me a while ago. I was so distraught that start using SMS Backup to store all my text msgs. It's sorta cool is when I switch phones or anything, it would automatically download into my newest phone and you can search through your msgs on gmail.

I would try restarting the phone if you haven't already (stupid suggestion I know) and see maybe it was just a glitch. Hopefully someone on here will be able to help!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jcmm11:
A friend of mine has the T-Mobile GS2 and I'm trying to help him get root. Unfortunately (for this purpose, for everything else it's fine) I only have a Linux box available. Apparently heimdall doesn't work with this model and I've been unable to find any other way to root via Linux. He currently has 2.6 on there. ZergRush doesn't work on this version either.

I've googled and searched and haven't been able to find anything. I find it hard to believe that there's no way to root this phone via Linux. Anybody can point me someplace that can help?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crownm:
My IMEI number is correct, is there anything else?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saywhatt:
I think it is a network problem/faulty sim card..

If you have not contacted your network operator, you may try:

a) wiping caches via recovery

b) flashing another modem..

If all the above fails, contact your service network.. it must be a network problem
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
Did you cut your SIM card down or was it original micro SIM from carrier?

Cut Sims have been known to fail, otherwise almost certainly a network failure or cell tower failure

After much trawling the interwebs I found a working flash apk that brings back this functionality to Jellybean users. I have seen way to many instances that I need flash and I'm sick of compromising... what are we on iOS? Where there's an xda page there's a way and I wish I could remember where I found this one but there is just too damn many. I dunno who to thank for this so I'll thank the devs here that brought us JB roms..

Anyways... install as usual, I've only tested this on Rohan's PA rom so I can't guarantee results but it loaded every flash site I threw at it. Cheers

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sipple31:
I've had T-Mobile & a GS3 for 30 days. Works great in the city. This last weekend I went to my wife's family's house to do some hunting and spend time at their cabin. We go there a couple times a month... which I would consider to be quite often. T-mobile was basically nonfunctional. Couldn't even send a text. Phone didn't say "No Signal"... but nothing would even work, network wise. According to the coverage map, it should work. So today on my lunch I speak with a woman over T-mobile support chat. She sounded pretty optimistic that they would take care of me, but I had to call in.

I got home from work and called in... the lady understood my issues and got me over to retention. The lady in retention wanted to know where it was I was struggling with service... so she looked it up on her end. She looked it over using words like "sketchy" and "I can see it probably wouldn't work indoors" and "well, Sir, it's a cell phone... it's not going to work everywhere." She was almost snippy with me... despite the fact I was 100% calm and overly polite. She would give me no leeway since I was outside the 14 day return policy. She only offered paying full term fees or transferring to a family member. CDMA providers in the area have pretty good service. I simply want to return everything and jump over to CDMA. No hard feelings!

Does anyone have any advice or know someone with a little clout within T-mobile? :confused: This is going to be a rough two years if not....
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] fatboy547:
I think if it's such an issue pay the 250 termination fee and move on. Research should have been done prior to signing up or test signal issues within the 14 days you had. Good luck
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sipple31:
I hear ya. As mentioned I did check the maps. In reality what is a person supposed to do? Take a car tour of everywhere they might go within their 14 day "trial period"?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] psykhotic:
There are two biweekly periods in a month you said you go there a few times a month which is at least 3....

Does the place have internet? Wifi calling is awesome. Every single carrier map shows my house having service but it doesn't. Only wifi calling can work here.

I'd try calling again. If a supervisor refuses, then get the unlock code and sell your phone to someone with ATT. You'll probably make money.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Markor13:
To be honest there is nothing you can do. For starters that's not your home address so T mobile does not care because that's not your address on your bill, secondly and very sad to say say you're out of your 14 days even if that was your home address T Mobile would not let you out of a contract without paying the ETF. That's one ****ty thing about T Mobile they are notorious for things like that, once you're outta your 14 day trial if you have no service at your house the only way to get out of the contract is pay your ETF.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jaytxvo:
How much did you pay for the phone? If it was 199, see if you can sell it for like 500. Use 250 towards termination fee and the rest towards a new phone on cdma.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] elesbb:
I'm actually in the same situation. I hate there coverage but love the speeds and plans. I was looking for a pay as you use it SIM card to use whilst in no coverage areas.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sipple31:
Not a bad idea......... may look into this.

Yeah... the Wi-Fi calling is nice if there's good Wi-Fi around. I spend a lot of time in the outdoors, though.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] flarbear:
The only other option which might not help for your situation is that they can provide indoor cell phone repeaters. If you ask nicely I think they might even comp one for you. That would help if you were having trouble in the cabin, but not outside but I don't think that's the case from some of the comments you made. On the other hand, a cell phone repeater with remote antenna mounted on the roof might be just enough to bridge the gap at least while you're in the cabin itself.

And when you're outside - shouldn't you be communing with nature? ;)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sipple31:
Funny you say this! We actually just put in a Wilson repeater system at the cabin. Works excellent when your inside... but that isn't very often! Even then the CDMA rocks the GSM.

When we're hunting we use cell phones as a primary mode of communication. The Wisconsin DNR makes two way radios illegal while hunting... but you can text or make phone calls legally. Kind-of a dumb rule this day and age, right? :silly:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] psykhotic:
That's the stupidest rule I've heard of lol. I wonder if you can use wifi calling while tethered to a friends phone. You should use the buddy system anyways :P

Maybe you can build a pringle can antenna?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] papabear:
Before you go paying EFT.. try posting on a cell swapper site and see if someone will take your plan, maybe even pay something for your phone.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sipple31:
Didn't know these kind of sites existed... thanks!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] JesseMT4G:
One of the bad things about T-Mobile is their spotty coverage. In a big city its great and so-so in a smaller city. You get out in the boonies and is very hit or miss, mostly miss....

Sorry man.

Sent from a galaxy far away!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sipple31:
My thoughts exactly. And I definitely spend time in the boonies.

Anyhow... my phone sold on Craigslist for $400. Had a ton of interest. $200 to ETF and $200 towards what I paid for the phone. All in all i'm only out $50 and the service for the month. Ordering Verizon today. I definitely don't like their new plan structure... but in my case you just have to go with what works best in your next of the woods. Looked at Sprint because of their better plans... but they are like the roaming Nazis. If you go over 300 meg of data or a certain fraction of your plan's minutes on someone else's network they will drop your a$$. Happened to my brother. One day they just called and said were turning off your service tomorrow. You roam too much... get a different carrier.

Thanks for all the tips guys. I'll be around... just in a different section of the forums. Still going to get a GS3! :good:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] exdroid1:
This happened to me with Verizon a few years back. About a month into service problems started to occur. Even the sales reps verified the issues. I called corporate every 5 or so days to report dropped calls and no data signal issues. After about 6 months of swapping phones they offered to let me go without an ETF.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] papabear:
Did not realize they still did that crap. Almost a decade ago, if you roamed 50% or more they dropped you, and made you pay eft.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] joshnichols189:
Every carrier still does this. You might not have to pay the ETF but they will drop you.

Sent from my SGH-T999
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sipple31:
yeah I don't doubt that! This is the sole reason I didn't get sprint. 300 meg?! That's nothing in today's world. A good carrier needs to be a little bit lenient on the roaming business in order to provide adequate coverage.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] androidmonkey:
Sorry to say but the cabin sound like its in the middle of nowhere. Any mountains around, that will make it worse? My gf parents live in the "boonies" and neither of us get a signal (she has Verizon, I have Tmo).
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] a4ol:
I saw the OP in a ROM thread. If you rooted your phone and put a custom ROM on it, yes it can lower your ability to find signal! I have notice many issues with many of the ROMs and I am right now with Phandroid for example which lowers me to 2G when at home, even though there is good but low 3G coverage with the stock ROM.

I strongly suggest you switch back to STOCK everything before giving up on T-Mobile. You may switch to ATT and get the exact same problems because of a custom ROM...

Just my .02 cents.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bmckinney212:
I have had the same problem it will show full service but say "not registered on network" in areas where T-Mobile "claimed" to have good service. What it the deal is if t-mobile has service around that area att blocks roaming if there is no tmobile service it will roam.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sipple31:
roger that. I had tried it with going back to H2 via ODIN as well. Tried custom ROMs with different radios. No difference either way.

thankfully this debacle is over. I'm putting it behind me. I have Verizon and the GS3. I actually get LTE in areas where T-Mo only had snailish EvDO... I just don't think they have an initiative to expand coverage in rural Wisconsin. So be it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] c4warrior:
Actually, if you speak with someone and use a stern but tactful tone, you can do something. They can easily wave your fee if you want to drop the service, but you need some angle.

For instance, I got them to give me the $99 unlimited shared plan, 5gb for the price of 2gb, NO contract extension for my second phone, full upgrade discount for both phones at the retailer of my choice without having to sign an extension with said retailer, and a free month of service.

Take in to account the fact that I was on vacation in Louisiana at the time, coming from Los Angeles, and I saved a bundle just buying my phone there.

They have the ability to do whatever they want, even if you think they are just a "phone rep", you just have to make them. All I did was tell them that they have not lived up to the expectations that they created and promised and that I was going to Verizon. They also informed me of their LTE expansion because of that conversation.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] stevekixs:
I dont know who you set up your account with, but I work for a corporate Tmobile store and we always do full coverage checks.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Babydollll:
