Yup and i bought that stupid thing off contract too. Paid full price and only used it like 5.5months. I've had so many bad experiences with big red I can't stand them. Their fios service I never had an issue with, wireless tho is a whole other beast, their CS is horrible and they nickel and dime you to death

I agree! I got a few friends and family members to switch from them. Never had their service but man I can't stand them they're too greedy for my taste! If I ever leave Sprint it will be for TMobile now they giving unlimited data too. But I doubt that's happening anytime soon..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
My mom has vzw, and now that they are moving to that share everything model they are trying to force her over onto it. She's had the same plan since the early 2000s like 01 or 02 and has no data plan since she uses just a flip phone. Well long story short they told her she will be getting a data plan and a compatible phone by the end of the year or paying the etf since she's still under contract until Feb 2014. Totally ridiculous and terrible customer service to try and force people to pay for something tthey don't need/want

Verizon is bull s h i t.... for real.. I'll never go back to them.. good cell service but not worth the money / headache
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RayTrue04:
Wow that is crazy! I would drop them and not even pay my etf. Hell I'd probably end up at one of there stores and shove my phone down one of their employees throat! :mad:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] evol4g:
I cancelled and refused to lay my etf hence my experience posted earlier
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Last time I had to deal with them in person for her, they called the cops on me for yelling at the Rep :mad::banghead: she had bought a phone about 20days prior to my visit, well the screen decided to just quit. They didn't want to replace it because it has a little tiny scratch on the.chrome paint on the branding. They wanted her to pay asurion or buy a new phone. I ended up leaving with a brand new phone after the cops showed up and sided with us. I'm pretty sure the manager just gave it to her to shut me the hell up, since i scared about 20 customers outta the store over the 3 hours I was there

They should make a law stating that any cell company has to clear the ESN if the owner finds his or her cell phone after reporting it stolen under the assumption that it was in fact stolen.. because that's utter bull****.. especially if a person paid full price..

We should start some kinda petition lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
I know right, all the laws favor the morons making the millions and us peons paying it to them get to stand there and take it. We dont even get flowers or a kiss first, just bent over and abused. :thumbdown: however I have never had nearly as bad of an experience with sprint, they tend to do anything with in reason to keep the customer happy, especially if you're nice and polite when dealing with them. They also don't seem to push your buttons as much like vzw seems to want to make you angry so then you look like the jackass instead of them.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McNoob:
Do all the GNote 2 variants have the same hardware? (Int'l, US ATT US TMobile).

Not concerned about LTE, but HSPA -

Can a different radio be flashed to enable HSPA on the AWS bands (like the 1st GNote ) -

I'm going to Europe and and may bring back a GNote 2.

Is it still too early to know the answer to this (since the TMo USA GN2 has not dropped yet)?

Thanks all !!!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowandbehold:
No, an international Note will not be able to get AWS bands. The AT&T one...possibly. The Inernational will not contain the 1700 band. When the AT&T note was released, they produced them with the 1700 radio anticipating a release on T-mobile, which was why the radio enabling the 1700 band could be flashed. If they mass produce the US versions again, then it should be possible. The T-mobile variant will be pentaband no matter what, since they are starting to use the 1900 band that AT&T uses for HSPA+. Actually, now that I think about it, they will probably be produced seperately because the AT&T version will include LTE, and T-mobile will not...so...nope.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McNoob:
I appreciate the quick response, thank you!

Now, GNote 1 had different chipsets for the Int'l and NAmerican variants (Exynos vs. Qualcomm) - I've been reading that the GNote 2 has Exynos on all its variants, which I haven't been able to verify -

I also read about TMo moving its HSPA to the 1900 Band, which would make the GNote2 compatible...remains to be seen how reliable HSPA service will be on that band (although I must admit, HSPA AWS has been pretty darn good for me in Southern California).

Thanks again, lowandbehold.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowandbehold:
The chipsets are exactly the same. The 1900 band will go into affect next year. They are still using the 1700 band.

Hello everyone.

I am new to xda. Verry happy to found you all.

Sorry for device, is not i9000 (is i9001), can't find Q&A on i9001

The story: i tried to root my i9001, because my 2.3.6 lags and freeze (all go personalization)

I installed ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.1.3 but home button is navigating up, and phone is restarting in recovery mode, can't do anything.

I tried woth Odin, AriesVE.ops + Boot_loader.tar, but Odin Multi Downloader v4.43 doesen't recognize my phone (desinstaled kies, reinstaled samsung drivers 3 times, restarted pc).

Now i can't do anything in recovery menu, and only odin that recognize phone is Odin3 v1.85, not any tar place.. only a pit place, i loaded "u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4" that comes with odin. Than I load boot_loader, go start and is stuck at SetupConnection until phone restarting.

If anyone can help me with my problem i would be very grateful

I don't know what is the difference between them.

I checked it on samfirmware.com link.. and I tried INU , but it got failed in between...

What is the difference between these two??
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iTK:
if i'm not mistaken the diffrence is csc

India and Sub-Continent CSC (ETR, INS, INU, NPL, SLK, TML)

i listed everything here:

Follow these instructions carefully:

1. Download Odin and extract

2. Download an ICS rom from the list below

3. Open Odin(run as administrator if using win7 or vista)

4. Fill up only the PDA with the rom you downloaded from the list below

5. Fill the PIT using the I9100 pit inside the rar archive

6. Reboot your phone to download mode by pressing [Power+Voldown+home button at the same time]

7. Connect your phone to pc then check if Odin recognized the device(there should be a yellow signal). Something like 0:[COM3}

It should look like this:

8. Hit start

9. Enjoy! (if you are experiencing some problems, just do a factory reset of your phone )

NOTE:If you are experiencing any problems, do a full wipe or factory reset.

[General Questions and Answers] rocktonic:
so here's the thought:

i have a few old android phones i've collected over the years. i also have a headunit in my car with a rear usb port with which i routed a cable to my glovebox to have a usb stick with my music on it. what i would like to do is replace that usb stick with my old incredible 2. this would not only replace the usb drive, but would also give me the added security of having a hidden phone, always powered, in the car. this would be useful in the event that the car was stolen, since i could reactivate the phone via verizonwireless.com and then use an app like cerberus to do pretty much anything with the phone remotely. including tracking, recording audio, etc. there are just a few kinks i'm not sure how to iron out.

number one, although the phone will last probably a few days with no power, i'm anticipating the battery taking a beating from being in the car 24/7. my concern is that it'll turn off, and if it's stolen i can't expect the perpetrator to turn it back on for me. is there any way to enable an android phone to automatically turn on when it's attached to a power source?

number 2, how can i set the default connection type to 'mass storage device' so that the car stereo automatically mounts the SD card for playing music when the ignition is turned on.

thanks for any help, as well as any other useful suggestions for this application!
[General Questions and Answers] compro01:
under settings, there should be a "connect to PC" section, where you can select "disk drive" as the default connection rather than "charge only".
[General Questions and Answers] post-mortem:
If you want to take this a different direction, how about turning it into a dash cam?

-- Sent from my TouchPad using Communities
[General Questions and Answers] rocktonic:
you know, i'm starting to think something is wrong with the phone. i did find that section, and set the default to disk drive, but when i plug it into my computer all it does is charge. the mac doesn't recognize anything is plugged in, and the phone doesn't recognize it's plugged into anything. i reflashed a stock rom and everything, same results. could the usb port have gone bad in a way that the charging still works but data doesn't?! seems unlikely...
[General Questions and Answers] rocktonic:
that's a neat idea too, especially if i could mount it somehow that it wasn't visible. i've been trying to think of a place to hide it at least so that it can see into the cab to take pictures/video using cerberus, but i'm not sure where i could mount it to do this. my main objective is added security for car theft, so having the phone somewhat hidden is sort of important to me. i live in philadelphia, so the paranoia isn't 100% unwarranted.
[General Questions and Answers] post-mortem:
For outward facing, maybe behind the grille? Inward facing would be hard to hide. Maybe in the door.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] stqism:
:P I only use linux, but I have a windows buildbot...

Also, my little script has a few problems, such as the /system block not often the same between devices; /cache partion size limitations, assuming fastboot and adb exist on the host, etc...

With a bit of bash fun you could easily find out the partion block name, regardless of the device.

You can stream the /system img, possibly compressing it via gzip and pipes, solving the /cache part and speeding up rooting times.

Ship with binaries, fixes the fastboot/adb assumption problem.

At that stage we would have a share-able script that could run on a rooted android itself, rooting others with only a male to male micro usb cable and usb host mode support. You could even in theory do it from adb over tcp, minus the flashing it back part. :D
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] krabappel2548:
Hey guys,

I'm going to make an OC kernel for Xperia T. Which featuress would you like to seen in the kernel? ;)

Krabappel2548
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] MrPhilo:
Awesome dude, I was starting to get worried if I should have got the Sony Xperia T, due to slow development compared to other phones.

What feature i'm interested in is OCing the GPU higher just like other phones with the same SoC. I thought the Adreno 225 will handle games well for now but it seems it has a few lag on Asphalt 6, Nova 3, Batman and Spiderman etc, not like I play them all but it did lag. Along with a configurable GPU clock and undervolt, like the the Galaxy Nexus and S2/3.

Another one will be OCing the CPU to 2.1Ghz as most other same chip can get to, not like i'll overclock it, as there is no need really, the chip is already fast enough, but it be great to have that feature included as well. Plus undervolting as well.

Updating the linux kernel, remove all the crap in the kernel etc

Thats all for me :)

EDIT: Linaro would be good as well, as it seems to benefit to performance.

EDIT2: This Kernel is an good example what i'm talking about, be awesome if you could port his app interface with his permission of course, if everything goes well, I always donate quite a bit to support the developer (some motivation :)).
