Check with the carrier you intend to use .

Dont buy a locked phone .

You should also understand that a USA phone has no Samsung warranty outside of the USA .

I don't want warranty.. as soon as I get the phone, I'll root it..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sidthegreatest:
You cannot actually get the phone for the low price, as you will also have to factor in the price of the contract that you will have to get to along with the phone. If you plan buying just the phone from the carriers, it might be cheaper to buy em in India itself. Besides, the international I9300 is better than the NA variants in my opinion..

I have a verizon samsung s3 thats rooted and unlocked. For severel weeks i have been prompted to upgrade my device but every time i try it starts then stops about a quarter way thru and shows a dead android guy laying on his back. My phone restarts just fine with the old software still installed. I have looked for the officail jelly bean 4.1.1 rom so i can install it. But cant find it. Only can find custom. Can anyone point me to a official rom download or tell me how i can get my phone to just do it thru the update on my phone. Why is my phone having problems updating anyway. Im guessing it because of it being rooted or unlocked. Thank you for the help!!!! MY PHONE INFO!!!!! SCH-I535 ANDROID VERSION 4.0.4
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shinjielric:
There is no official Jelly Bean ROM yet. The update it just a different modem and some security updates. I would just flash a custom recovery and install a JB ROM.

Hi,

When playing video or music, the original headset that came with this phone works without any problem.

The only button on the headset is able to pause/resume the movie.

When i tried another headset (meant for Sony Ericsson phone), the sound seems partially muted.

The only button on the headset somehow can un-mute the headset, but only when i press and hold the button.

The headset was tested working fine on Sony Ericsson phone.

Both headsets seems to be wired differently. Is there anyway to config the Sony Ericsson headset to work properly?

The apps i found inside google play does not seem to be able to solve the partial mute problem.

Please advice or point me in the right direction. Thanks.

I Asked about android bro..
[General Questions and Answers] KidCarter93:
1. It's all about what you prefer. For example, I prefer Android because I've had a few android devices and never had a problem, unless I messed up. But you may like Windows better.

Google the features of them and that could help you to decide.

2. Use the **DEVICE SUGGESTION THREAD** -- Not sure what device to buy? Ask here! to get advice on which phone you could get.

3. The main advantages of rooting, for most people on this site probably, so you can have administrator rights on your phone so you can access more than the manufacturers would like.

Also, it means you can install custom ROMs, kernels, radios etc onto your device to improve the look, feel and performance of your phone/tablet.

[HTC Rezound] pagodasrevenge:
I ran the global RUU very soon after it was released. Now that we have source for the OTA, kernals are obviously going/being based on the OTA, as they should. Would it be best to revert back to the OTA firmware and radios for the best performance or should we stay on Global? TIA

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] manybreak:
Could some of you guys tell me your experiences with this phone , looks good :]
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ronnie498:
The phone over all is very good, I had a very good experience when I had mine. It all depends on what you are wanting to do with you phone, somepeople will root their phone and others will not, as for that development has slowed down but there are many custom roms out there.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] iceman99393:
Basically last HTC phone on at&t with soff, now everything is locked tight.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Cor-master:
No don't buy it. It's almost a year old, about to hit eol status any time, stock is buggy, a bit laggy after you use it a while, and battery life is pure garbage, 8 hours is the maximum I've ever gotten out of it. If you do unlock and root, wcx's rom fixes most of those issues but you just forfeited your warranty because if you relock the bootloader it says "re locked" in the bootloader screen. Wish I knew that, I think my charging port is getting loose and probably on par to quit working... I really don't know what I'll do
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Monkeymannnn:
Yeah, don't get it. Plenty of better options at better price points.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jngtt:
I would not recommend it, get a Samsung Galaxy S III if your are into development. if u like HTC for its sense get the One X, but that phone is getting old also. Development of HTC phones is going to the ****ter. I am quite happy with HTC phones if its rooted to run TiBU and the bloatware from ATT is gone.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mg2195:
Well...everyone's being negative about it...before I get started I own both the HTC vivid and the Samsung infuse

Despite what everyone else says the vivid is a great phone, and has the best stock experience with the least amount of bugs I've ever used, the battery life is not to bad and I'm satisfied with the life it gives me..on average I get at least 12hours of battery life...that's with 3-31/2 hours of screen on time -brightness at auto, at least 30 minutes of music, data always on in my semi lte area (majority of my area has it but there are a few places like my school where I get no lte), WiFi always on, auto sync always on (have my Google and Facebook account set up to sync), and GPS always on...as you can see I do nothing to try and save my battery life and it makes it through 12 hours with a good ~30% to spare when I plug it in the charger

its very fast and snappy...

Its only downfall is lack of development...but if I can get cyanogenmod 10 going...that will change very quickly as it opens the door to tons of aosp based roms and ports

So...if your a flashaholic and love flashing ROMs...at the moment this phone is not for you

But if your looking for a fast, snappy, smooth phone and staying loyal to one ROM or even stock sense...then this phone is perfect

Again...I've had no problems with stock sense 3.6...and personally think I like stock sense 3.6 almost as good as any of the available ROMs...I often find my self running a ruu to use stock again...and find I stay in stock for a longer time period then custom ROMs
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Cor-master:
View attachment 1366743

My status today. I was having signal issues and it tried to sync during them and literally in 20 minutes I went from 65% to 40% power. 6 months later I am just over this phone. I on average get 8 to 10 hours... On standby. The problem is battery hogging lte, a dual core, a 4.5 inch battery hogging lcd screen and a ridiculously small 1650mah battery to power all that. You look at the back and htc probably could of fit a 3000mah battery on it if it didn't have the angles and filled the whole back. It probably takes 3 charging cycles just for me to get through one day.

And I have to disagree with a great stock experience because of battery life, and more bugs than Joes apartment. Wifi shutting on and off at random and mobile data lately for me has not been consistent. Not to mention on the bloatware at&t put on this phone. SwiftKey has been laggy from day one while it ran flawlessly on my much weaker captivate. I was in the market for a non lte s2, I should have went for that instead.

And then HTC gave us the shaft on sense. Instead of giving us the much nicer 4.0,they ported 3.5 to ics and called it 3.6 and 3.6 does everything in its power to make you feel like your still using gingerbread. Don't get me wrong I loved this phone at first but the honeymoon is over, I'm ready to sign some divorce papers. Sucks being broke, I'm ready for a nexus but I'm also hoping by the time I can afford one they'll have the new models out.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mg2195:
Maybe you just got a bad device...as I've stated...I get 12 hours at least with 30% to spare...my vivid has lte, 4.5 inch screen, dual core, and a 1650mah battery...so those definatly are not the problem...I only notice like a 5% difference if I leave data off all day...and I do have lte for a good 80% of my day

I just don't like when people assume everybody has the same problems they have...just because you have bad signal and battery doesn't mean everyone does...If I were to have an iPhone 5 I would instantly trade it for an android...even for the vivid

In short, my vivid has the same specs as you and I get decent battery life...and I do nothing to try and save battery...only reason I'm using my infuse instead of my vivid is because I keep flashing experimental cm10 builds on it and need a phone handy

I guess people just expect these powerful smart phones to have the same great battery life of the old Nokia brick phones lol :P our phones are basically mini laptops that never go to real sleep cause they are constantly looking for signal and running background tasks to keep our phones smart and not a giant dumb phone...how can you expect hours of battery life from that? Most laptops only get 3-4 hours of actual use...my vivid seems to be on that same pattern of 3-4 hours of actual use, aka 3-4 hours of screen on time

End of my rant...I usually try not to rant but when I'm sick I can't help it
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Cor-master:
I know they use more power but I never complained about my captivates battery life. To be fair it was only 150mah smaller but didn't have lte, a dual core, and had a super amoled screen which naturally uses much less power than a lcd.

I gave HTC a fair shot and I'm not to impressed, I feel like I got burnt twice by them with the flyer and this phone. And the stupid "relocked" bootloader... Why is the bootloader locked to begin with? My captivate took all of 5 minutes to root with a super one click program, and didn't wipe anything. Locked bootloaders are bs. And s.... S! Wtf is s anyway? It another hurdle put on by htc. "so you unlocked your bootloader and you rooted but wait... You still need s off!" s stands for **** imo. An htc exclusive.

And speaking of s why does this phone require some stupid wire trick technique when the flyer had a nice program called revolutionary to achieve it? Hacking is half the fun of choosing android and htc went out on a limb to ruin it for everyone with this phone. Cm was always a safe bet... Till I bought htc. Makes me cringe checking the captivate forum and seeing cm10 nightlies when my new phone that's supposedly world's better is dead at stock ics.

I don't really want an iphone just saying I'd think I might enjoy one more than this phone right now. Typing this message just took 5% of my battery btw. This in general is a text book example of androids problem. In the middle of nexus devices, galaxy s devices, and one series devices, as well as optimuses and xperias, and razrs, came the vivid, a general "phone of the times" that was marketed poorly and forgotten just as quickly. This is the Droid Bionic of at&t. Everyone who bought one gets screwed.

I hate this phone -.- I can't wait for the next flagship to drop this holiday season I am going to sell this soon and just use a standard phone for awhile its a decent phone but I'd rather have the SG3 or the next thing coming out
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Cor-master:
And what's with the stupid sudden drop from 29% to 14%? Ever since I got this phone it does that. I'll check a text, have 29% power left, cool should be good for a little while then a couple minutes later I hear "wah womp" in my pocket, I pull it out "your battery only has 14% remaining please connect it to a charger. HTC: Quietly Ignorant
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mg2195:
Let's not turn this thread into an "I hate the HTC vivid" rant thread

You bought the device get over it, if you don't like it that much then sell it and get a different device...no offence but you guys are getting annoying, so enough with the rants or I'm gonna request this thread get closed
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jngtt:
I actually have to like my phone because i bought off contract, :(

The Vivid is a good phone, and it does work great when u set it up to run efficiently, but the Vivid is suffering the middle child syndrome, and it is being neglected, but there are development done outside of this forum, i have no idea what it is like, all i run is Stock with root and debloated, battery is not bad either, gives me 12hrs
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Cor-master:
Well if you guys like it, more power to you. My wife has no complaints. If you aren't a heavy user like I am, and don't care about rooting its perfectly fine. Sorry if I got riled up, I was really hating my phone yesterday.

I'll be fair in saying the camera is awesome. One of the phones few bright spots
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
I really see no reason why you'd get this phone at this point, especially if you like any kind of rooting or flashing. I'd probably try to get a used Gnex or SII if I was in a low budget situation.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Cor-master:
Yeah getting back on topic, I won't recommend this phone just because it's all but eol and development is all but the dead for it and if you need a cheap phone, gs2 or gnex all the way.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] brucegil:
Had my Vivid for almost 11 months now. Stock with ICS "upgrade" (fixed some problems but created more). No real problems overall. I plan on keeping it through my 2-year agreement. I enjoy using it.

But would I buy one now? No. It won't get another OS upgrade. The newer phones have, or will have, better specs.

I'm drooling over the new HTC OneX+ which may come out in the U.S. by the end of the year (no official announcement yet). Among the reasons I got the Vivid were the SD card slot and the removable battery. But the built-in memory will be 64 GB, and by making the battery non-removable, they can actually use a larger battery. It will have Android 4.1 to start with.

Here is an article on the OneX+

Hey,

all my photos and videos are not opening any more. I believe it is an encryption issue. I originally encrypted my SD card. Just a ew days a go, I decided to change the unlock method from password to none (without thinking about encryption) and after this I could not open any of the media files on SD card in gallery or when copied to my PC. All files are still there with correct size and attributes.

So, I decided to look at encryption today and found that all boxes were unchecked :( decided to encrypt the SD card again. No luck. So decrypted the SD card and still same :(

Anything else I can do? This is a big bug, there should've been a warning or something to tell me about encryption when changing the unlock method...
[HD2 General] AVN37:
Hi guys,

I am currently in the US, I got a Pay-By-the-Day simcard from T-mobile which I put into my HTC HD2 (European version) and charged it with $30, because I thought it would be enough and that I didn't need a plan. Well, turns out I do, because I used up the $30 in 10 days.

Now, as a T-Mobile customer, I would like to get the Walmart T-Mobile $30, 100 min, unlimited text and data plan. My questions are:

1) Can this be done?

2) Can this be done so that I keep my number?

3) What do I have to do in order to get this plan? Has anyone tried this? Is it enough just to buy this online or do I have to get something else as well?

I really need someone's personal experience with this, as I chatted with two customer service reps online and then called with two different ones and each and every one of them have told me a different thing. None of them, though, said it would be impossible. They just couldn't agree on whether I need to buy an activation kit along with it or not.

Please please help, I have like $1.50 left and need to sort this out quickly :)

Does anyone know if its possible to call HTC and have them flash 1.85 onto the phone? If so how much to do that so that the people who are on 2.20 can have fun with the rest of us? Everyone knows money talk.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] HTC_Phone:
Once you're on the 2.20 firmware, your hboot has changed. You can't downgrade once you have the newest firmware. It just isn't possible. You would have to buy an entirely new phone and hope that it was on 1.85

Plus, if it WAS possible for HTC to flash 1.85 on it, couldn't we just run the RUU and do it ourselves? That's why it isn't possible. You will ruin the phone.
