Hi, I have the Vivid, AKA Raider -Unlocked-, Rooted with S-ON

I've been trying to download apps like gta, but when I go into my apps, and try to download it, it says "Your device isn't compatible with this version."

My question is how do I make it so that I can download this? I don't have another device I could download it from and move it to or anything..

I would really like to try out some of these other apps out there, but I keep getting the same messege.

Does anyone know of a fix?

I've already tried this method and it didn't work for me.

You have to edit your build.prop

I edited it to trick it into thinking I had a samsung galaxy note xp there are a couple of threads around

. Change the following values to the ones in bold:

Hi There,

I heard somewhere on a review that someone from the XDA founders has joined Samsung now.

Does anyone know who that is?

Is there anyway we can get he request to add more than 5 contacts to a contact passed to Samsung, I'm aware that there is a hack around in the forums, but this shouldn't be such a hard thing for samsung to implement and why have the limit anyway?

For Example : I have many many friends on Android that have accounts in all of the following, I see multiple entries for all of them that I cannot combine into one : Google Contacts, Whatsapp, Tango, Viber, Facebook, Linked In, Skype, Google Plus and more.

Why is Samsung restriction the contact merges to a maximum of 5 ?

Any ideas anyone ?

If anyone else is also facing this problem ?

Perhaps you're mistaken, but I don't think any of the founders are with Samsung... And in fact the founders are not really around here any more as they have other things to do :)

Hi,

I've noticed that my contacts are not able to sync with google. This never was a problem till the time I rooted and eventually started flashing ROMs.

I simply try to sync contacts by :

Contacts --> Accounts--> sync contacts , gmail etc--> the sync finishes but no numbers are synced.

The usual gmail account info comes up but without the phone numbers.

Any inputs people?
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] shankar25:
Hi

did u check the display options check all other contacts. for me there was certain contacts missing when flashed my phone but then i check the display option and found i only ticked my contacts for the google account and checked show all other contacts then synced again i got all the contacts on my phone.

cheers mate

Hey, my brother lost his galaxy s3... literally the day I told him about Cerebrus (and he put off installing it..... the noob).

anyways, tried Plan B, that didnt work because I think the phone is dead. I just wanted to know if the SIM is removed from the phone, will it still have any sort of service from verizon? Will the google account associated wtih the account stay active on wifi assuming phone isn't wiped ??

I'm trying to reactivate the phone every few days and maybe I'll get lucky. He's also a noob because he wanted iphone anyway :( but got GS3 before unlimited data ended so we didnt lose it (plus have talk n text 20 dollar discount per data line... yes a bill under 200 for unlimted texting and LTE four smartphones is a heck of a deal we didnt want to lose).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bb4arson:
Was he drunk when he lost it?

That phone is long gone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rlatjs17:
Has nothing to do with what the Op is asking.

Well the person wont be able to activate it through verizon, but I'm not sure about the whole google accounts thing. You should take your sim card out and test it on wifi and see if you can access your google acount without the sim card through wi-fi.

Edit: I just tested on mine and as soon as I turned my phone on my Avast started kicking in locking my phone and sounding the alarm saying the phone has been lost or stolen. I turned that off and tried going into my gmail and unfortunately I was able to still access it. I didn't check to see if I could still buy apps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NuclearEMP:
Google account will stay active.

Just log into google and change your password that will stop the phone from syncing.

I'm looking for a pay as you go network that has good service and good phones, I'm so over paying 90$ a month on my 4g and getting 3g and alot times even 1x I dont think its worth it! I would switch to att or verizon but I'm barely making it as is, so any recommendations for a new network
[EVO 4G General] jrollercoasters:
Nothing?
[EVO 4G General] biga1:
Check out boost mobile. They got shrinkage plans and are on the Sprint network. They just got the EVO Design 4G and the Samsung Galaxy II 4G.
[EVO 4G General] BlazinThat:
I think I might do Verizon, its 50 bucks for unlimited everything I just need to find the right phone.
[EVO 4G General] jrollercoasters:
Seems like a good deal, but it depends on the phones haha
[EVO 4G General] Pre-dawn raid:
I'm callin' BS on that quote. Fifty buck for unlimited EVERYTHING on the most expensive carrier in the US. No way...
[EVO 4G General] BlazinThat:
Before you try and call me out, how about you use that search button. Yes for 50 bucks you get unlimited everything. Calls, text and mobile web. Sounds like everything I need.
[EVO 4G General] jrollercoasters:
Yup haha
[EVO 4G General] BlazinThat:
The 50 dollar one doesn't include data though, the other 80 dollar package offers 1gb of data. I don't need data for awhile do the 50 one would work well for me.
[EVO 4G General] cbucz24:
I'm on my hacked og using boost. Its on the standard plan, $50 unlimited. The real Android plan is $55 but since my donor wasn't android I cut it down. Had it 3 months, and in 3 more it will be $45. It's a hard plan to beat for the money.

But I can say, I looked at the new evo and just like sprint ...they wanted an extra $10 a month for service. Wtf man, that would bring it to $65....

I'll stick to my same donor and flash something new at some point ;)
[EVO 4G General] jrollercoasters:
Sounds like a good deal, hows the service?
[EVO 4G General] HD2FORNICK:
I don't know which market you are on but I'm in LOs Angeles where Sprint SUCKS makor a$$. I am waiting for November to hit and kick Sprint goodbye.

Metropcs is stronger than Sprint in the LA area and offer a phone like LG Motion. It's a decent phone and if not, they are adding new phones every month.
[EVO 4G General] pr0xyw0rm:
U can check boost mobile and virgin mobile. They r not that expensive. Metropcs is a option 2 but it sucks in my area.U may be aviable to flash ur current phone to use with boost,virgin or metropcs. I've seen treads about how to do it.

Last week I paid a guy 79.00 to flash my Sprint Evo to Straight Talk. Now I only pay 45.00 per month unlimited everything and utilize Verizon 's network. 3g speeds are so much faster. You are cautioned to stay around 2gb per month in data though.

[EVO 4G General] taadow1030:
Yes. I recommend watching the YouTube videos.
[EVO 4G General] cbucz24:
I assume your on sprint? I had them first. They actually told me if I switched to boost or virgin they would waive the termination fee if I ported my number.

Sadly, I went with virgin. Then switched to boost. They wouldn't take a virgin number?

As far as service, its all the same company. Reception is identical. Only thing that changes it is your phone. Some are stronger than others.
[EVO 4G General] jrollercoasters:
Hmm maybe I'll switch sooner then, the only problem is I want the gs III

I was overwriting CWM Recovery with a different version so that I could install CM10 and when it restarted the screen went black. Now it won't turn on no matter what. I've tried holding VolUp-Home-Power, VolDown-Home-Power, Home-Power, just Power, just home, just VolUp, just VolDown, and nothing. I've tried plugging it into the wall, nothing. As if there were no battery in it at all.

So obviously I made a mistake somewhere. It happens. Not blaming anybody. Does anyone have any other suggesstions for me to try before I send it away for repairs?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Aftcomet:
Many thanks for the response and posting a helpful thread.

The farthest I've got is unplugging the battery, plugging in the USB and getting a Red Led turned on. It wouldn't do that with the battery inside.

I've tried using Odin and the Tookit from that thread but neither will detect the phone. Also, Windows won't detect the phone even with Samsung's drivers.

Thanks for trying though, I really appreciate it. I'm assuming it's hard bricked and no other way to fix it than to send it off to Samsung.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] fallenkirmit:
If warrenty is a possibility I say don't waste any time. Don't tell them what you were doing obviously...they can't verify that your rooted anyways in its current state. If warrenty or insurance isn't a option then one service that's available is something called jtag repair. I hard bricked my Telus S3 due to my inability to read stickies (lesson learned!!! lol) And had to send it for jtag repair. Phone is fixed and as good as new now! didn't cost me $200 for a insurance replacment either... anyways.. I don't want to sound like I am a spokesperson for the company... if your warrenty/insurance doesn't cover it pm me and I can try help you further.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Aftcomet:
Thanks to both of you guys. Fallenkirmit, I'll look into JTAG if I get turned down by Samsung.

Telus told me to bring it to one of their stores and that they'd ship it to Samsung for repair and give me a loaner phone in the meantime.

What are the chances of Samsung turning me down do you guys think?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] fallenkirmit:
If you got it directly from a telus store your covered no worries :) they cover everything for you. Jtag is a great service.. but warrenties are better ;) lol
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Aftcomet:
I ordered it from Telus over the phone when I entered my contract. That's the same as going to their store and buying it right?

I have to say this was completely my fault, I was getting impatient and thus careless. But now I've learnt an important lesson. I was trying to install CM10 but you have to use a certain version of CWM (d2att?). But I already had an LTE version of CWM that I used to install Blue Berry. So when I tried to do an overwrite with Android Terminal something went wrong when I rebooted from it. I couldn't find my device in Rom Manager Premium and that's what lead to this. Luckily I made a back up of everything. Can't wait to root it and rom it again!

But now my main worry is turnaround time.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] fallenkirmit:
Yeah thats the same as buying it at a storefront. Did you purchase the phone within the last 30 days by any chance? Cause with Telus if something happens to your phone within the first 30 days they will just swap out for a new handset on the spot at one of their store fronts. I dont know what your turn around will be I have been seeing people having approximitly a 10 day turn around from day they send it in to when they get it back... your mileage may vary though :) lol
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Aftcomet:
Unfortunately (or fortunately lol?) I've had the phone for almost 90 days. Guess I'll have to wait. 10 days isn't a big deal I suppose. As long as it's not a month or something :silly:

Additional Question - I have my phone -Unlocked-, rooted and S-ON Is this safe to install any rom?

or should I turn S-OFF? I have CWM 5.5.0.4, but will be upgrading to 4ext soon
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] gotzaDroid:
With S on, you'll have to flash the boot image before installing the new rom, it's not hard, there's even a program somewhere on this board that easily flashes it for you from you computer. You can also download an app from the play store that should flash it for you too. Or you can flash it the command prompt way. It just makes it a little more involved to change roms.

Now as for which ROM is the best, that's all on what you want. If you want a de-sensed experience, I'd recommend wajee's ROM from code fire. I love it.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] bswann:
I would use the wcx recovery instead of ext or cwm, it seems to work with all Roms without issues. You can find it in the "All in one".

Roms are of a personal preference. It depends on whether you want a de-sensed or Sense and whether the Rom has everything you want and your wants actually work. I would suggest WCX Illuminati for a Sense based Rom and wajhee's de-sensed Rom. You will just have to try them out and see what you like.

You only need to s-off if you wanna flash the kernels in the recovery. Without s-off you will have to flash the kernel with fastboot then flash the Rom in recovery.

Sent from Illuminati Land.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Ironknee:
Yeah I'd like to try something de-sensed. How is Wajhee's rom with battery consumption?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] bswann:
It just depends on your use. I can't remember what it was when I was running it. I've been on WCX for a few months now and with the update a couple of days ago I'm getting 14-18 hours on a full charge.

I stumbled onto a fix. Dunno if it will work for anyone else. I was juggling about 2 dozen things at the time and might have missed a critical step.

I plugged in a USB OTG cable with an 8gb flash drive. The phone recognized it! Even displayed a cute little message in the status bar that USB was connected (instead of MTP). This all lasted a whole 2.7 seconds after hours of searching for solutions.
