[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MickeyS:
So if AT&T has an update and your phone is rooted, don't update? I went ahead and updated without thinking about it. I am an iPhone user and didn't think that ATT had anything to do with Android OS. I took care of the upgrading issue, before the update I was able to use Android File Transfer with my Mac and I would connect to the phone, now forget about it. I can only do it now using VMware Fusion. Kies works but it's kind of limited. My next thing will be to install a ROM, but I can't find exactly what kind of phone I have. I know it's a Galaxy S3 from AT&T.

This is the information:

What kind of specific rom's I have to look for, I've herd that if you install the incorrect rom you will brick your phone.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dntesinfrno:
Im not very familiar with mac or iOS but your problem sounds like a driver issue on the mac, not android. Is usb debugging enabled by chance? Settings>developer options>android debugging....if its on try turning off then reconnect your phone. If its off try turning it on and reconnect and see if it changes. Beyond that i would suggest deleting any samsung/android usb device druvers from the mac and reinstalling....although someone with more iOS experience will have to offer some advice in exactly how to do that if you dont know, i certainly dont.

As far as installing AT&T OTA updates with root, its generally not a good idea, especially if you do install a custom ROM. Even on a stock rooted ROM there is a pretty good chance the update will 'fix' your root access and if you are on a custom ROM there is probably an even better chance of screwing up the operating system to the point that it doesn't boot properly, or even brick. Only install updates to your ROM from the developer, and follow any instructions they give on how to apply the update.

Lastly, you are looking for AT&T i747 roms and you also have to pay attention to which version of android you are on as to how you go about installing the ROM. For instance if you are running the stock AT&T ROM and try to install an AOSP based rom without formatting the device you are more than likely to have all kinds of issues, IF the OS even boots properly. I would suggest you take some time to read up and become familiar with the terminology, differences in versions, etc with android before you just dive in. If you are unsure about something ASK SOMEONE...much better to look like a noob than standing in line at AT&T with a bricked phone.

I was under the impression that all of these show that when rebooting, its just a matter of how long it shows this message. I dont think anyone with a stock rom does NOT see this when they boot for a couple of seconds.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] floomat:
Hey :)

i have a problem with my phone, running CM10 since a week.

i never had this problem with CM9 or stock 4.0.x.

If the phone is in standby for a while and it looses wifi for a few minutes it gets stuck at "searching for wifi" i can't turn it off and i can't reconnect because it never finds any networks until i reboot then everything turns back to normal.

I read a bit through the CM10-Thread but didn't find anything about it. And i didn't found anything with the search.

So..how to fix this?

hope someone can help me.

yes,

disables deepsleep which causes the CPU to use the least frequency when in idle thus using more battery, it also slows down boot and system responsiveness tremendously (may improve with a class 10 sdcard) but overall i would'nt recommend a2sd, link2sd is much better

Similar question: Is it possible to get the stock ICS/JB messaging app on the SGNII?

I tried installing an mms.apk from an old CM10 rom I had for my sgs2 but it kept saying that it was replacing a system app and would fail, but when I looked in system/app I couldn't find another mms.apk

[HTC Sensation XL] nxss4:
hello,

It is very strange, between 6:00 pm and 6.25 pm, my sensation xl (rooted WRE 1.5) suddenly shuts down with a black screen, without "shutting down" window. this happens only around 6:00pm, when the time changes. When I put the battery out and restart it around 6:00pm it shuts down in 30-60 sec. I don't know how to fix this without a factory reset. I would really appreciate if someone knows what the problem could be.

sorry for my very bad english.

inse
[HTC Sensation XL] Lexmazter:
Do you have some app that could schedule your phone shut down?

Does this happen everyday or just some days?
[HTC Sensation XL] nxss4:
I found it, when I come back home (between 6:00 and 6:25) I turn on/off wifi and airplane mode. So it is related to the combination of "wifi on/off" and "airplane mode on/off". I found many posts related to this problem. So it is an kernel related problem ?

inse
[HTC Sensation XL] Lexmazter:
Don't know for sure, you can try a custom kernel or a custom ROM and see how it goes, or, you can upgrade/downgrade your Baseband/Radio, depends on what are you currenlty running, if you are on ICS or GB.

Hope this helps :)
[HTC Sensation XL] nxss4:
I have WRE 1.5, I've never tried a custom kernel because there are none that are overclockable for ics. a few hours ago it shuted(?) down in my pocket, without I touched it. maybe a new battery?

thank you very much for the great help,

inse
[HTC Sensation XL] Lexmazter:
There is an oveclockable kernel for ICS, developed by me actually :), also, on what hboot/radio are you running it?

--Also, i had on many phones problem with the battery (older phone really), you can take the battery out and clean the contacts of the battery with some sharp thing, like a screwdriver, but don't push too hard!
[HTC Sensation XL] nxss4:
Yes, I saw your kernel a few minutes ago, amazing! I'll try that one. I'm happy to see that there are still developpers for this phone.

Thanks for helping me,

My GF wants to leave Verizon and join my family plan on ATT. I tried to port her in, but they are saying that because her number is a different market, they can't add her to my account. She would either need to change her number or have her own plan. Those choices suck.

I wonder if there's a way around this, and considered porting her to Google Voice, but i don't know how much of a pain it is using GV to emulate your old number and not the new assigned one from ATT. She doesn't want to have to work hard just to call/text. And i think it would be annoying to have her calls and texts show up with a new number.

Any advice greatly appreciated.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] lordmorphous:
I give out my GV number to anyone and don't have any problems using it. Just install the GV app and tell it to make all outgoing calls via GV and she'll be fine...with voice calls. Texts come through and go out fine using GV, but MMS is not supported. I don't have a texting plan so it's not much of a concern to me, but if she is used to using MMS then it will become problematic.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] simpletrick:
Just remember that using Google voice will eat minutes even if you are on a mobile to mobile plan.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Ivizoid:
If you call customer service or go to your local AT&T corporate store they are able to have the same family plan with different area codes. It is possible but the work around is opening a new account under your name under what is called a NBI account. Basically that's how business accounts are opened but it will be under your personal information and then they could move your number into that account and then bring the Verizon number with a different area code into that same NBI account.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] REDFOCZ:
Yeah, but if that new NBI account is created, any grandfatherd features such as old Raye plans or unl data are lost since a new plan has to be set up
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Ivizoid:
Nope, all they do is transfer over the lines with existing features and it still stays grandfathered.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mbrich:
Exactly -- I ran into the same issue over 2 years ago. I am on AT&T, live in Chicago, but have a South Florida number, my wife was on Verizon. When we got married, she stayed with Verizon until her contract was up. Then she switched to AT&T and got an iPhone with Unlimited data. At the time, I had iPhone with Unlimited as well. They wouldn't allow her to be added to my account because I had an out of area number. I spoke with a manager, told them that I knew it was possible because a few of my friends have the same thing. I said I wanted to make sure I kept my Unlimited Data, and I wanted to make sure my wife did too.

They opened a Small Business Account for me. When it was all set up they transfered over my wifes account. She opened it separately with AT&T because the window for the Unlimited Data was running out and she wanted to get it while she could. I personally recommend that they open the account and have it set up first then port the number. We kept all of our features as they were prior to the new account.

When I switched to Android, I kept my number, upgraded to LTE, and kept my unlimited (5 GB throttled) data plan.

Make sure that they know exactly what you want when you switch your account so you don't lose something.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Dillsnik:
someone told me that opening an NBI account does change some things with your plan, not data unlimited, but other stuff i wasan't sure if it would have an effect or not. either way this might be my best solution
[HTC Desire X] Rock-&-Roll-Hedgehog:
I cannot see a forum for this phone so I hope this is the correct place.

I've never used a smartphone before & googling this question gets me lots of Americans talking about being hunted down by Verizon for not using their data package. As I'm in the UK most of what they are talking about is irrelevant to my situation.

I would be buying a SimFree phone to use with my trusty old virgin PAYG sim card. It has no data plan. I want to use my sim card for calls but use my router via the Desire X's WiFi at home for the internet like I do with my Nexus 7.

Is this possible? How? Thanks. :)

PS. Mention US 'carriers' especially Verizon & I will chop you up & feed you to the badgers!

Love

Mrs Hedgehog
[HTC Desire X] SimonTS:
Yes it is entirely possible. Just buy the phone, put your SIM-card in it and disable "Mobile Data". When you first turn the phone on though, make sure that you are at home so you can connect to the wireless network for the Google set-up stuff. Beyond that you can use the phone as a phone when you are out-and-about and as a smart-phone when you are within range of a wireless network.
[HTC Desire X] Rock-&-Roll-Hedgehog:

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] kjdinoc:
Hello,

Hoping that someone can take a few minutes to answer my questions. I have the at&t branded "SGH-I957" and have finally given up hope that Samsung is ever going to upgrade this thing to ICS. I am tired of how clunky and bad the U/I is, all the crashes, etc. etc. and after much back and forth decided to give XDA a try in finding a custom ROM. I had several pre-Windows 7 phones and flashed like crazy on those things years ago but have never done this on an Android device. I get too addicted to flashing so I didn't want to start with Android, but here we go!! :)

I flashed my 8.9 tablet with just about everything I could find. The different ROM's consistently load up and run but they lag so bad they are pretty much unusable. So after a week of lots and lots of learning and flashing I went back to the old crappy Gingerbread stock ROM. What am I doing wrong?. I figure no-one would be doing this if everyone had these results. So I'd like to humbly ask if someone could review my steps to possibly point out what I am missing.

1. I rooted my device and installed TWRP as my recovery tool.

2. I found a few ROM's to try and downloaded them and then placed them on my device's internal storage in the download folder.

3. I booted into TWRP, went to the Wipe menu and did a system reset, ROM reset, cache reset and dvork cache reset.

4. Still in TWRP I went to the install menu, found the zip file for the ROM I wanted to load and installed it.

5. Ran another Dvork cache wipe.

6. Booted into the system.

In every case my system loads up fine, I can connect to the at&t LTE network, I can connect to my Wireless connection. I can connect to Google and reload my profile....everything looks good.

7. Next I am using either the ROM tool or TWRP to reset permissions on my Apps.

Now I try to use the tab and find that everything just lags terribly. I hit settings and it sits and sits....after about 30 - 45 seconds I get a prompt that setting is not responding, do you want to kill it? I tap "wait"..........more lag and after about 60 seconds it loads. Then every subsequent tap behaves the same way.

This happens with every single flash and with each of the 3 different ROM's I've tried to I am convinced I must be doing something wrong in the process and hope that someone here that has more experience and expertise than I do might have some advice.

Thanks in advance for the help.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] jd1639:
You should not have to reset permissions. For a ROM, try the JB ROM in the cm 10 how to in the developer section. If been running this for two weeks with no major issues.

---------- Post added at 09:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:53 AM ----------

PS,not sure what you meant with the resets, ROM, cache, etc. I use TRWP and just wipe the system and the caches. I don't do the dalvic wipe after the install, but I don't think it makes a difference one way or the other.

---------- Post added at 09:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:12 AM ----------

PPS, out of curiosity I fixed permissions in TRWP with ROM I mentioned above and had no problems so it might be the ROM you're using. I've found it difficult to find good ROM's for the i957. I've tried many ROMs also with limited success, this one does almost everything I would wish for.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] kjdinoc:
Tried the suggested ROM. I experience the same lag for all the roms I've tried.

I think I used the wrong terminology. Reset=Wipe. I wiped everything. Cache, System and delvik

Trust us, either 1 gb or 2 gb you will be satisfied. I have the 1 gb version and works just smooth. Also as you see, there is better support for it than 9305.

However we still feel a bit phished by Samsung with all those different models, but as you see, most phones are 1 gigs (including iphone 5). With 2 gigs you will only waste the ram. Also, feels good to be one of those 20+ millions having this gorgeous phone, it's really feels good, because you know how much support you can get. Also 20+ millions can't be wrong ;)

Actually, the LTE is still only a project on a piece of paper here, probably will start rolling out next year. So I'm feeling scammed a bit only because of the ram, as I paid about 800 4 months ago for my S3, now the price dropped and with the same price you can get the 2 gigs version. Nothing more and no big deal.

Btw, with my 3g I'm getting 8-9 mpbs download and around 4-6 mbps upload, which is more than enough for a mobile phone. Before yesterday, my home adsl connection was 10 mbps down and 768 kbps up and I never complained ;) LTE still needs a better coverage, world wide coverage and maybe same frequencies in every country. Also, the lte is killing your battery much faster. Most of people still have no 4g and they started the development of the 5g lol.

LOL. Maybe a smart choice. Put those remaining $260 safely, so next year or after 2 years you can sell the S3, add those money plus a bit more and get the S4 or S5 ;) The phones life is short in matter of updates, so is better to keep money for future releases.
