1) All your programs and the $25 credit are connected to your google account, not the device. So long as the hardware is compatible, your google play purchases will work on any android device. The $25 credit will expire in just over one year from now, so no hurry.

2) Go into settings-->Backup & Reset and click "factory reset device." (If you're rooted, and forgive me for assuming from your questions that you're not, you'll need to do more).

BTW- you can put your question directly into the title; makes the forum easier to use for others, and is better if someone here is searching the forum with the same question (instead of "returning my nexus" something like "what should I do before I return my nexus 7 to the store?"

Hi,

sorry for stupid question, but, Is it possible to connect my S2 currently running CM10 (05102012) to PC as a mass storage? MTP seems to be very slow and I basically dont like it, I cant even format internal or external sd card throught PC, please help :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
Yes. It's possible to connect your phone as Mass storage.

Goto Settings > Storage > Press menu button, Select USB computer connection > enable mass storage

done.

Lockscreen issue

Whenever I unlock my phone, I press the power button and the screen will flash for a second as if it was unlocked, then it will go to the lockscreen. I don't know if it makes a difference, but the same happens when I press the home button to unlock the phone.

Has anyone experienced that and / or would know how to fix it?

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] _ray_:
Hello.. I am about to upgrade my phone to a Galaxy S3 LTE titanium edition which is released by EE in UK.

But before I pull the trigger I have a few questions...

Will I be be able to use the same Rom made for the 3g version on my LTE GS3 Or will there be a specific section on xda for LTE version?

According to some websites there are a few hardware differences like 2gig of ram in LTE compared to 1gig n 3g.. Does anybody know any other hardware differences?

Thanks

So would you suggest that I go for that options or the normal 3g.. Cause am not sure if 4G version will be supported by Modding community as much as 3g version..

Thanks
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] DutchDoctor:
Nah it's not supported as much yet... I own an Australian i9305. The first stable AOSP roms are starting to emerge though!

I'm really hoping for a Slimbean rom though.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] anguslaw:
Hm.. actually, the stock rom is very smooth and fast with that 2G ram in I9305, I don't think there is a need to use custom rom. The 1G ram really make the difference between i9300 and i9305.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] urbach:
cant agreed more with tht. unless u want more internal space, root it and remove the bloatware.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] anguslaw:
Yea. That's why the rom development is not active in i9305 forum. I think there is no big room for improvement to the stock rom.

I think the only option that i missed from stock rom is the "auto switch to 2G network when the screen is off" function. Because the 2G network is really saving a lot of battery.

Currently I think only cm rom support the auto toggle of 2G and 3G networks.

However, nevermind now, my portable charger arrive now, I dont' need to save battery anymore. :laugh:

Really satisfied with this phone ( I came from xperia X10).

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] drewmonge:
Anybody know how to get rid of this "no Sim card" notification? Sprint's GS3 version doesn't use a SIM card.

But no matter what I do, I can't seem to get rid of it. Even tried flashing different ROMs, and restoring previous nandroids that I backed up before I started getting that notification. No dice. What's the deal?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] drewmonge:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] drewmonge:
I just don't get it. I even backed up my internal sd card and did a factory data reset, and it still won't go away!!

All I know is that this happened right after I used the wipe cache/dalvik cache feature in Rom Tool Box pro (which I hadn't used before) because I was about to flash a new Rom. And after it booted up again, it just appeared and hasn't gone away. :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] drewmonge:

There is an option under mobile connections in the cm10 builds where you choose where your connection data lies. There is a NV and SIM option. This may be the cause.

Thank you! I'm going to try that! I've just trying to figure this out on TW, so I'm going to give that a go.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] drewmonge:
Actually, that did nothing. I saw the setting. But it doesn't really do anything in terms of getting rid of that "no sim card" notification. Sigh.

I just can't understand why I'm getting that blasted notification for no sim card. I'm on Sprint for crying out loud!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] drewmonge:
So I've been trying for the last 24+ hours or so to remove this "no sim card notification. And I just flashed a leaked TW JB rom, LIG. And this one doesn't show a constant "no sim" notification. But it does show it in the lock screen. Ha! Jeez, this is driving me nutz.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Naddict:
Gnvm
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Tb0n3:
Another possibility is that you're flashing a rewritten T-mobile rom and they never figured out the sim card issue themselves. The earlier leaked TW JB rom was leaked from a sim using carrier. Try downloading the LIF one or a previous ICS version. That or just go straight CM10 if you don't have 4G in your area.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Speedin07si:

Ok, so I completely wiped my phone, unrooted, returned to stock, did the hands free activation code, and still, when i rebooted the phone, it still has the "no sim card" notification. I'm completely fresh out of ideas.

I even spent two hours on the phone with Sprint techs and deactivated and reactivated my phone. They gave me all kinds of codes and proceedures to troubleshoot the phone, and still, no avail.

This is hands down, the weirdest thing I've ever encountered on an Android CDMA device. Makes no sense what so ever. Im just going to have to live with that pesky "no sim card" notification with every rom I boot. At least until I switch to Tmo. I'm done with CDMA.

I only found one other guy with this same problem, I pm'd him, but hasn't responded yet. I hope no one else geta this problem. It's just been the biggest headache.

*The pic below is after I unrooted and returned to stock. And still, there you'll see that fabulous "no sim" notification that I can't clear out* (sigh, sadness)

Yeah, i tried that. Got a new 8gb card. Partitioned and everything. No dice :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] drewmonge:
The only one i was on was Freegs3, i think it's L8 based, when it happened. Used the clear cache/dalvik cache feature in Rom Toolbox Pro, and when it re-booted, that's when it appeared.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] drewmonge:
Yeah, i can make calls and everything just fine. But it's just that "no sim" notification that won't go away.

The s3 uses a icc card for lte that is a SIM card. You might have a bad card or SIM slot. Need to take into a sprint store. Probably will have to get a replacement. Verify that it is by going to about phone and status see if you have a iccid
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] drewmonge:
Yeah, you may be right. That iccid shows "unknown." Still been trying to resolve the issue before I take it back to Sprint.

I did some research, and apparently this is a known issue, especially among Verizon gs3 users. Having to do with the prls and LTE. And considering I've been messing with Verizon prls and what not, I might've inherited whatever bug that is.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] POWerSUrgeSW3:
My 'two cents'

I can say I had this pop up after I unrooted my phone. I am using BlackBean-6 ROM. I had everything setup, no issues or problems, then tried doing hte encrpytion feature. Of course did not work, had to unroot and do a full factory reset to get access to my /data and /sdcard.

When I reloaded my Baked ROM from scratch, I noticed during the Google first time setup, the second screen said I did not have a SIM card installed. I also noticed on the lock screen at the bottom that it said I had no SIM. Even on the notification window at the bottom of it, said I had 'No Internet'. But I am not and have not had the message stuck in the task bar.

As for testing the LTE network side, I don't have coverage in my area. So I will cross my fingers that it's not broken.

To get around the message on the lock screen and notification window, I set the OWNER field and CARRIER NAME to something a little more personal.

I too hope someone with some knowledge figures out what's going on. I will be listening to this thread closely!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] drewmonge:
Wow! Thank you so much for writing that all out!

Even though i hadn't tried it yet, It was just as I suspected --a total unroot to original stock LEN, then do OTAs.

I'm glad you tried it out and it worked! Going to give this a go. Hopefully I have the same results as you.

Although its not a quick solution, it's a solution nonetheless. So thank you!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] danielnorkin:
Wow thanks for writing all that I out!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] POWerSUrgeSW3:
You're welcome... I just hope anyone in this situation has the successful luck I did. Only having hte phone for 3 days and then "breaking something" on it sucks. Always thinking there is a 'Google Solution' out there, then getting nervous when there is none present. I just want to ease the minds of those with that dreaded "No SIM" message. I remember in the Evo4G days that breaking the 4G credentials meant board replacement, and hopefully this is not the same case for all!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] drprince89:
Thanks for the write up i am midway through this process right now and will report on if it works for me, currently installing the 81mb update.

After having a few unsuccesful flashes im assuming were due to hash sum mismatches i was getting bad 3g and the no sim error, the 3g error seems to be fixed after reverting to stock rom, but im now hoping to get rid of the no sim error and go on to a JB build again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] drprince89:
Thank you so much! this solved my no sim issues. The 81mb update is the one that does it, the subsequent 300+mb update takes you to JB 4.1.1. I flashed Paranoid Android which the interface is AWESOME on this phone, used 10/29 inverted baked gapps. I did forget to backup my stock rom since i was so excited to flash to PA, but the rom is working so far. I do still have the 3g signal bar moving around a lot, but back to back speed tests show the same speed constantly despite what the signal bar reads, so it must be a problem with the displaying of the bars rather than actual signal, and speed seems unaffected.

THANKS! ICCID is infact populated again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] razzortopp:
just unrooted and back to rom with this issue of the sim notification. I used qbking77 video instructions. can anyone help
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] drewmonge:
Just read back a couple posts. And you'll see @PowerSurges post about what he did to get rid of it. You're gonna have to unroot and restore back to LEN stock with Odin, and let your phone do OTA updates. Works for most people, but for some it didn't. Good luck.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jazz995756:
This is a very simple fix the ROM you flashed caused a problem with the build prop file and corrupted it cause your phone to do this if you want to fix it just download something like root explorer then go into /system and go into build prop file and change the like in the picture to say #Do not show sim notification and this fixed it for me
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] POWerSUrgeSW3:
That works but that just hides the message, not actually fixes the problem? Does your LTE still work even if you hid the "no sim card" message on your phone?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] drewmonge:
Excellent find! Thank you!!!!

I haven't been able to get rid of it myself with the previously posted OTA update method. So it was driving me nuts. But this is the mod I was looking for. I don't get LTE in my area, so I could care less about that right now. I just wanted to get rid of that stinkin' no sim notification.

THANK YOU!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jazz995756:
Glad it worked now you should be able to flash ROMs without that issue
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] drewmonge:
Wait, so I checked out my build.prop file and it's already showing the "do not show no sim card notification" at the top.

So I haven't changed anything. But I still get the "no sim/emergency calls only" in the top of the lock screen.

I'm using pretty much a stock LJ7 rom with slight optimizations. So am I not reading this right? Not sure if I followed your directions correctly. Is there something else I need to change? Thx
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] drewmonge:
I think that mod only applies to removing the "no sim card" icon in notifications, but unfortunately "no sim card/Emergency calls only" still remains in the top of the lock screen (see pic in previous post) :(

Still, great find though, despite that.

Wonder if there's a build.prop mod that can be done to remove it from the lock screen as well.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jazz995756:
might be more severe than changing that line this is the last I have on how to fix that no sim card issue. If you were previously on an aosp ROM and started messing with that sim lock option most aosp ROMs have then you most likely bricked your internal sim card that's embedded into the phone this should work for you if not I would call customer service DONT GO TO THE STORE when your on the phone with them tell them your phone shows a no sim notification and go through technical support and they should get you a free replacement but if u go to the store they will charge you other than that there's really nothing else to fix it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] drewmonge:
Yeah, I think you're right in that I bricked my internal sim card. I'll try flashing an AOSP ROM and see if I can compare build.prop to yours and make any necessary changes.

But I have spoken to Samsung tech dept and they told me it was a known issue, and if i returned it back to them, they would give me a free replacement. But that would mean a few weeks without my phone. I figured I'd send it back as soon as I bought a Nexus 4 or something to fill the void, ha!

Anyways, thanks for the tips! Cheers.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jazz995756:
Well talk to sprint you will have a new phone the next day at the store
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] deeryders:
Ok here is what I did. After Odin a couple times to stock the phone was stuck into boot loop. I went into Recovery Wiped Cache and Factory Reset. I also went ahead to Sprint to order a replacement and they did a hard reset. However, when I came home I went to the System Update section and updated Firmware and Samsung Software. After each update it found another one (which was weird) so I went through several updates and boom problem fixed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] POWerSUrgeSW3:
Oh because of a few places I read it had to do with the LTE part of the phone. As I would not be surprised since I know with my Evo4G, a bad ROM could mess up the partition for the 4G side and the only fix was replacing the board. And the fix I used was by unrooting and downloading the OTA updates and then rooting again without it coming back. Which would lead me to think the issue was outside of the ROM itself.

But hey now we've got two methods. If trying the stock OTA updates don't work, there is at least a way to get rid of the message. Then anyone should feel comfortable that their phone is still fully functional hardware wise... which to me is all that matters!

---------- Post added at 11:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 PM ----------

Some of us have found after the second update seems to fix the "No SIM" issue. I think I went through three updates before I rooted again. Hope you didn't have to shell out any money for a replacement!

Flashed "LEN" and now LTE is broken

I got my GS3 near Xmas 2012. It came with LJ7 on it.

I wanted to see if I could "force" an update to MD4 since my phone would only seem to update to MB1. My reasoning was that if I went with an older firmware, it would force the phone to continually update and that would somehow include MD4. Yes, I do realize that I'm nucking futs, thank you ;)

Anyhow, long story short, the firmware version that I flashed was LEN.

As soon as the phone finished flashing from ODIN, I got a "No SIM Card" error. After running the OTA updates to MB1, that message no longer appears, but now I have no LTE connection. :(

Thanks to the info in this thread, I checked to see if there was an ID for the SIM/LTE card in the Settings menu. Instead of "Unknown" it has a lengthy number, so hopefully my SIM isn't permanently damaged.

Advice? Suggestions? Require more info? I'll be watching this thread like a hawk.

Had the same "no sim card" after doing reboots, wipes, unrooting, rooting, then I changed my modem and it went away. You guys might want to try that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GRK4G63:
FIXED!

I decided to try flashing (ODIN) back to LJ7.

After flashing, still no "4G" symbol near my signal bars. No data connection. :(

ICCID number appeared to not change.

Then I went to "System Update > Update Profile"

The usual "please wait" message popped up, phone rebooted and BAM, when it came back up, there was that old familiar "4G" symbol next to my signal bars.

PHEW!! :victory:

I thought I was going to have to deal with Samsung or Sprint...
