[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RootedUser:
I've tried everything with Verizon and I have no luck at getting the n2 or another phone. They just want to give me a replacement gs3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jjenkins2005:
How many replacements have you had?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RootedUser:
I tried avoiding getting the replacements. There all.going to be the same way.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jager420:
True that..not one replacement they sent me had been a good one..I went from droid charge to gnex to s3..all of them sucked(replacements)..better to by the device brand new
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rmtobler:
Every replacement i have received has worked better than the phone i bought new
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jjenkins2005:
They are not going to swap you to another device without doing replacement process first.. Sorry, I had to go through that and I'm sure everyone else did.

I wouldn't take it that far but I did have some replacement Rezounds back in the day that worked awesome.. but the GS3's that I've had have all suffered from the same antenna issues but that should be expected b/c sammy hasn't fixed the issues.. Everything else was fine.. a couple of them were new and never used.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RootedUser:
How meant gs3s did you get before they offer the n2?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jjenkins2005:
I'm on my 5th GS3... two new ones and three CLNR.. but I will tell you that the GNII wasn't the first offer.. I've been @ this since last week..

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AJ26T:
Good luck let us know
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sRDennyCrane:
It's amazing how many phones suddenly have problems when the newer, fancier model goes on sale...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ajd88:
I am already on a replacement for data drops ect.. I called today and was offered the Razr HD or spectrum 2. He acknowledged the crap reception on the s3. I'd rather have **** reception than those devices. I made a push for the note 2, even mentioned the DNA but the guys wasn't having it. He said they are both a step up from the s3. I'm holding out for a while to see what happens a month down the road.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ihavenewnike:
No go. Out of stock again

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Coderedpl:
Sometimes people don't notice those things as "issues" until a topic such as this gets posted. At least that's one way of looking at it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cswee1932:
I'll tell you guys, I'm in the same process, and samsung support WHO Verizon put me through to on a tech support call last night said the NO SIM error is a known problem that hasn't been patched yet on the Verizon device and that it MAY be released in as soon as 2 weeks, but it could be longer...With that said, Verizon insists it isn't their issue and they sent me and keep offering me a REFURBISHED GS3 as the replacement even though the issue will continue regardless of what GS3 they send me.

And I will add I was able to deal with the minor annoyance until last week when I missed multiple extremely important calls from my sales staff.

I'm most likely going to be out shopping this weekend as Verizon has made it clear they could care less.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jjenkins2005:
Maybe for some but a lot of us have been having issues since purchase and have accepted mediocre solutions from VZW & Samsung and the issue still isn't fixed. We're irritated that they fix the issue with a new device but forgot about us users who purchased their flagship device. Enough is enough. They need to put their Big boy pants on and fix the issue. It doesn't take 6 months to realize an issue that a lot us have been reporting for quite some time.

I'm a business man and I pay for service...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Coderedpl:
I've heard that crap before when I asked them about ****ty signal. This was shortly after I got the phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jjenkins2005:
Just received my new DNA... Will see what it's like.. If I hate it I will push for the N2.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Coderedpl:
So if they give you another one and you don't like it you can ask for another?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kench33:
You have like five days with a new device. Something like that
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RootedUser:
That guy is full of **** if he thinks there a step up from the gs3. I called them yesterday for my girls droid razor maxx . it was her third one and there sending her the HTC droid DNA

---------- Post added at 02:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:25 PM ----------

They told me if u take a replacement your stuck with it. U don't get a choice like u do upgrading. Might want to ask about that one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kench33:
Oh sorry. I assumed j Jenkins upgraded to one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RootedUser:
Didn't mean to sound like a ****. But I was just letting you know.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vdChild:
Wow... got transferred to "loyalty" dept... needless to say they done give a rat's ass... asked how much my etc was after her telling me only options were upgrade or another s3 (after 4 devices all same issue...) she asked if I wanted to go ahead and cancel nonchalantly... I told her no I need a phone while I shop another carrier.. and asked to be transferred to tech support...

Woman was completely helpful a total 180... said she is putting a req in to engineers to look into the issue and will call me back in 1-3 days with offer.
[Nook Color General] jcesar085:
okay so have just successfully rooted my nook color 1.4.3 and everything is working except the MarketPlace sort of. The Marketplace has limited apps i cannot install dolphin browser or angrybirds unless i manually download from another website. I used this tutorial http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1494901 and followed every instruction. please help thanks
[Nook Color General] GMPOWER:
First off, not trying to be an ass, but next time could you use a better thread title than [Q]. This will help the people that are here to help, and also help in the future when people try to use the search function for help.

If when you open the “Play Store” you see the options for Apps, Music. Magazines, Movies & TV, Books then the market is working as it should. If you are not seeing all those options, then you need to perform the “Market has limited visibility” under the “Known issues and solutions” section of the MN thread that you linked too.

I just performed a fresh install with the basic, and then the apps2sd packages, both of them allowed me to download/install all three versions of Angry Birds without any problems. For dolphin browser, you can download/install it using the B&N apps store. The app will be visible from stock launcher, as well as from any other launcher that you might use. You can also google “build.prop for market compatibility” for help with changes to your build.prop to allow for even more market apps. I personally use the Samsung GT-P1000 tweak to allow for greater apps, specifically gameloft games.
[Nook Color General] DizzyDen:
And you can use the IMEI generator to make the build.prop changes as well... I've had an IMEI on my rooted/stock B&N since I started working on the generator.
[Nook Color General] jcesar085:
Yes sorry i did reboot 8 times and that worked for me, thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Beremat:
Hey guys, I've been reading around and noticing that a lot of people are hearing from Asurion that there's a shortage of E4GTs and that they're being offered other phones instead. I just filed a claim online (badly cracked screen, malfunctioning radio, useless battery, along with many other issues) and on the last page, it stated that I'll receive a Samsung D710, which is our phone. Is this set in stone, or should I expect a call from Asurion telling me that it's unavailable?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PanchoPlanet:
Ics and jelly bean have taken there toll on the Epic touch, so yes there is a shortage of phones that can be refurbished. You may get something else in return.

Pp. :(

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] trantua4:
I just got my phone replaced last week and got the epic touch. Not sure if that timeframe makes a difference.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MiguelHogue:
Well if it's unavailable I'm sure you could wait for one.. Just don't take a phone that isn't proper replacement

-TeaM VeNuM Like A Boss
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Beremat:
Welp, i got a notification this morning that my replacement has shipped, and i think its the e4gt. Ill let you guys know.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] times_infinity:
you said in your OP that it said you'd be getting a D710, which is the epic touch.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tgruendler:
Yeah, whatever they say they are sending you is what you are getting. If there is an issue and they cannot send that device, they will contact you and give you options. I have never heard of Asurion sending out a phone other than the one that they stated they were sending.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Beremat:
Alright, awesome! That is basically the question I was asking in my post. Thanks for the good news!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Beremat:
Alright, my phone came in today. It's an E4GT! Better yet, according to ##RTN#, it's a brand new phone, not refurbished! Awesome!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
You really shouldn't flash back to eclair for that reason. You should update to gingerbread with bootloaders. To get download mode, you will need either a jig or adb reboot download.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] camxv:
Okay, I'll go buy resistors to make a jig sometime this week. But if I did, what should I use to flash 2.3.3 gingerbread? And which stock rom should I use?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
trusselo has a thread for Rogers one clicks in the development section. Those should work for you.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] camxv:
Ok thanks for the help. Once I get back to 2.3.3, do you recommend any ics or jellybean roms?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snevey:
Well, depends what you're looking for. If you want to be on the latest, and not the greatest, I would choose any of the ICS roms. The Collective has some good stuff, and so does Cyanogen. CM10 is updated "daily" where I'm not sure what the Collective's release schedule is. You'll find that both of those are "laggy" though, as that's been my experience. I had CM9 ICS on my Captivate and it was certainly a good "daily driver".
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] camxv:
I was looking into Jellybean.. But I'm not sure. Is CM9 a good choice? Cause I've been look at it, and considering it? Can you link me to CM9?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
Honestly, you could go either way. Generally, I felt like CM10 ran a bit slower, but that may have changed with the recent partition change. If you want the latest and most up to date, go with CM10. CM9 may perform better but it won't get new features. It's up to you to decide which you like better. You can find nightly threads for both in the development section.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] camxv:
In the development section, is the thread by illuminatedone the correct thread? Cause it's the only stock rom thread I could find. And can I ask what Nightly means?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
The fourth post in that thread links to the Rogers one.

Nightly builds are built almost everyday by the buildbot, and they contain all the latest changes. They are generally considered to be less stable than the stable releases.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] camxv:
Are they stable enough for daily use though? And are you sure it's the 4th post in the development section? That post is just modems its a thread by devz3r0
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
This thread this post here... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=18371028
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
I consider them good enough for a daily driver, yes.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] camxv:
Ok. I shall give it a try then... But final question. What kernel should i flash when im back on 2.3.3 to get CWM? Im also nervous to flash back to Gingerbread, i dont want to mess up my phone again :/
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
Really any GB kernel, but I'd go with Corn.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] camxv:
Hm, thats what I used before. Thanks though ill flash it again
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] camxv:
Hello again everyone in the Q/A cappy forums. I know ive had the questions i needed answered in this thread but... I've yet to flash my cappy back to stock 2.3.3 rogers cause ive been reading about bootloaders and ive just been scared to do it. How do i find out about the bootloaders on my phone and are they nessessary? Thanks
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
U have bootloaders on ur phone regardless.

If u r running eclair/froyo, then u have those bootloaders. If u r running gingerbread, then u have those gb bootloaders. Simple as that.

If u try to run a gb firmware on ur phone and u have a really bad pixelated screen when it boots up then u r trying to run a gb firmware with eclair/froyo bootloders. U need gb boots to run gb firmware.

If u have a running gb firmware on ur phone then u have gb bootloaders... Also they are backwards compatible and u don't need to flash bootloaders again.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] camxv:
Im currently running eclair, but i was on stock gingerbread before this whole mess. Does that mean i still have gb bootloaders or what...?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
That depends on whether the eclair firmware that u used contained bootloaders or not...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] camxv:
What if you have no idea? Is there any way to check?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
See if the file/thread you got it from mentions bootloaders. They usually make it pretty obvious.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] camxv:
This is the link to the site and instructions I used to restore it. Unless I'm mistaken, it doesn't say anywhere anything about bootloaders http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-unbrick-or-restore-samsung-captivate/
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laughingT:
the thread you mention doesn't say anything about bootloaders because it is an old thread, before the release of gingerbread.

afaik, the gingerbread bootloaders are more reliable than previous version. the GB bootloader is backward and forward compatible. both ics and jb are using the gb bootloader.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] camxv:
So if I was on gingerbread before i flashed back to stock 2.1 I should still have gb bootloaders? Cause i want to flash trusselo's rogers 2.3.3 odin oneclick but i don't know whether to flash the one with bootloaders or without...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
Simple answer: try no bootloaders first, and if you get the garbled screen, flash again with bootloaders.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] camxv:
Okay, so I know its been awhile again. And I SHOULD have this resolved by now but I don't. I just successfully made a working jig tonight (finally). The jig looks horrible but it does what it's needed to do. It works every time getting my phone into download mode but now... I'm scared to flash anything still. I want to know what will for sure flash my phone back to stock, I have the Trusselo oneclicks downloaded but I don't want to soft brick my phone again. I trust them in all but I'm still unsure :\. I have gone through too much trouble and I don't want to resort to buying a new phone.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sombomb:
Clockworkmod recovery doesn't work(only get a blank screen after I make my selection), and my phone wont boot. I'm trying to flash a rom via fastboot or adb.

I installed fastboot and adb using this guide:

fastboot adb guide

I downloaded htc sync to install the drivers.

I'm trying to follow this guide for flashing a new rom

xda flashing guide

when i try "fastboot -w" the command prompt returns "erasing 'userdata'... FAILED <remote: not allowed>"

it seems the sollution for this is posted here. but i don't know how to flash an hboot. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I've been searching and all i could find was fastboot commander, but when I try to flash a new Hboot or my recovery image it returns "flash FAILURE"
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
In clockwork use the trackball to select items, not the power button.

To use most fastboot commands you need an unlocked bootloader, or the engineering bootloader. To chanhe your bootloader you need to be s-off, or do an entire ruu.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sombomb:
Wasn't using the trackball. This is embarrassing. Thanks for all the helpful info, you're awesome.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nimixes:
=X

wow this is funny, but sadly it helped me also:p
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thehiggins:
In case you'd still like to know how to do it via fastboot, here are some steps:

Place the .zip in the same directory as the adb and fastboot executables

Double check the md5 of the .zip before proceeding to prevent bricking the device

Run the following commands in command prompt:

fastboot devices //Verify that the device is detected

fastboot erase cache //Not sure if this is completely necessary, but the guide I followed included it as a step

fastboot oem rebootRUU //Boot into RUU, which lets you flash HBOOT, radio, etc.

fastboot flash zip [zipname.zip] //Replace zipname.zip with the actual name of the file you are flashing

fastboot reboot-bootloader //The guide I pulled this info from didn't specifically say that you should reboot to bootloader rather than to Android, but I have seen others mention that you should always reboot to the bootloader first after flashing an HBOOT or radio. I would do this just in case
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nukec:
thehiggins you saved the day ;)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BadRx:
Thanks You

Didn't know I had to be in RUU. When do I need to be in RUU, when flashing the boot or any boot related img/zip ?

Check it out on the play store. Only 25¢ for Nova launcher prime today.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
Owned it for a while now and I can't express enough how good it works with the s3. Capable of using root permissions to mess with your experience. Fast, smooth, better animations than apex/Holo. This is THE launcher for high end devices running android 4.0/4.1.

People get it now!

Yeah, im an apex user to but for the price i bought it just in case.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ryano89:
Same here...it seems good, but I can't find any discernible reason to switch. In what way is it better than apex?

SGS3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
Nova seams quicker than apex, could just be an impression though. They are both pretty much identical, same themes/icons can be used in both of them. Nova's widget overlay is better than apexes when on various rom's.

The newest version is quicker and smoother than nova I think

I can see this turning into a flame war. Its all about preference. For some reason my phone doesnt like Nova, its laggy and slower. And yet I read all the time that Apex is laggy and slower for some. I use whatever works best. Nova and Apex together in harmony! Cant all launchers just get along?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] angeamon:
Like Nova Launcher !!! Therefore bought it !! Its super fast and smooth on both my devices . . . .

Ok ive switched to nova, I haven't found any less features over apex. It does widget overlapping and apex doesn't so that's a plus!

Nova ran like **** on TW so i only ran apex and then I switched to cm10 and now apex runs like absolute **** and nova is much better (still not perfectly smooth). This thread made me download apex again and its still like stuck at 5 fps on cm. Getting. Sick. Of. Androids. Lag.

I have been using apex pro since I had an ice Leo on my Droid x wifi device while I had a bionic. used it until it went on sale in the market and just bought it because it was. 25. then I tried it. I used to get transition artifacts while using apex that I have not seen on nova. so i now have both on here now and switch back and forth until I finally choose what one I want

I bought this the other day and started playing around with it. It seems like it will be pretty good. One of the features I like so far is the App Folders/Tabs does Apex do that as well?
