But you do realise o2 hasn't got 4G yet...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gustopher:
...and I'm not sure even EE have gone live yet.

Once it is live, only sixteen cities in the UK will get 4g until the Spring of next year. I'm definitely and early adopter, but there's early and there's early!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speedyjay:
EE went live over 2 weeks ago....
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carrd:
Although handsets are displaying EE this is only EEs 3G Network. 4G EE will be going live at the end of the month in 10 major cities followed by several more by the end of the year.

From Techrader Website:

The date sees the new EE brand "go live" alongside the super-fast mobile network, which will go live in ten cities around the country (London, Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, Sheffield, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Cardiff, Bristol, Birmingham).

EE says that Belfast, Derby, Hull, Nottingham, Newcastle and Southampton will also join the 4G line-up by the end of the year.
[Motorola Atrix HD] capran:
I live in the USA, but my Atrix HD is the Bell Canada model. It seems lots of apps default to .ca for some things instead of .com, also kilometers instead of miles, celsius instead of fahrenheit. For instance, IMDB movie ratings like "14A", distance to nearest theater in KM, Amazon store defaults to amazon.ca.

Some apps let you manually set those things, but not everything. And I can't seem to find a global setting. Is there a way to tell the phone I'm a stupid American and I like my miles, water boils at 212 degrees, and movie ratings are G, PG, PG13, and R!? :p
[Motorola Atrix HD] ATGAdmin:
If you attach a copy of your build.prop, I'll take a look and see what is different from the AT&T build.prop. It may be just making some simple changes to your build.prop to fix your issue? ;)

Or you could open your build.prop in a text editor and look for the line itself if you're so inclined.

The line posted is as follows:

ro.product.locale.region=US

Yours probably has region=CA

makes the change to "US" and see if that helps?

;)
[Motorola Atrix HD] capran:
Not having heard of this file, I did a quick google and found out where it is. Yes, that line does have CA. So it's safe to change that? Anything else I can change that in there that might be beneficial?
[Motorola Atrix HD] ATGAdmin:
I had a look. That "should" solve your problem with the CA websites and such. There's a bunch more that reference the fact that it's a Bell CA phone, but I'd just wait to do more until we get a working CWM, then all you'll have to do is flash an ATT ROM.

;)
[Motorola Atrix HD] capran:
OK, so noobe question: how do you make the file writable for editing? :o
[Motorola Atrix HD] goodmansarmour:
How to flash ATT firmware on Bell Atrix HD without bricking?

Can someone please let me know how to flash ATT firmware on Bell Atrix HD without bricking the phone. Bell doesn't release any updates. My battery drains so fast even after turning-off all wireless hardware. I can't see battery consumption details. I'm stuck with BELL firmware while I live in the U.S.
[Motorola Atrix HD] ATGAdmin:
Do you have root yet? If so, just change directory to r/w in root explorer. If you haven't rooted your device yet, you're SOL. You need root privileges to edit that file ;)
[Motorola Atrix HD] capran:
Yes I'm rooted. I made the change, rebooted, and tried IMDB again, but it didn't change anything. I checked the build.prop again and my change did stick. So what now?
[Motorola Atrix HD] ATGAdmin:
Not sure what to tell you. That's what I've changed in every tablet ROM I've ever wrote to get "US" settings in web, play store, etc.

You may have to wait a bit until we get a viable recovery for the phone to flash a US ROM to?!?

Hopefully someone else may have more insight into this.

;)

Goodmabsarmour,

Do u have an unlocked bootloader? Cuz i had att software on a bell AHD with an unlocked BL... might need to ask Matt for a refreshment on that :P

Hi gabo_e30,

Sorry for late reply! No my AHD doesn't have unlocked BL. I have to unlock it now. Glad to know that you are using ATT software on Bell AHD. Thanks for the heads-up!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lazee Wolf:
I've been a long time follower of XDA forums. In fact although I say this is my first time flashing ROMS that only refers to modern smartphones. I have previously (with the help of XDA forums) flashed a couple of XDA phones and my Sony Ericsson w880i too.

I've recently moved to the Galaxy S3 but before that I was an iPhone user which meant that I used to browse these forums envious of all the amazing things people were doing with their Android phones.

I dont regret moving to Android and the Galaxy S3 is (in my experience) better than any iPhone I've ever had including the new iPhone 5 too.

Now that I've had the s3 for a while and I'm more comfortable with Android, I want to look into flashing a custom ROM or two onto my device before I settle with the ROM that best suits me. So with that in mind I have a few questions that hopefully you can answer for me.

1) Backups. I have downloaded lots of apps, I have several hundred contacts, I have lots of SMS messages that I dont want to lose, I dont want to lose my calendar entries or my music customisations. Some of you posters here seem to flash different ROMs to your phone every day/week so I'm guessing you will be able to tell me which is the best way to backup my information and restore it safely and quickly.

2. Suitable ROM. I know that there is no such thing as the best ROM for everyone but certain ROMs will be more suitable for me than others. What I'm looking for is quality audio for calls, built-in reliable call recording of both sides (I do phone interviews), the best music audio, light build, fast response and long battery life. I'd also like a ROM which is fully compatible with all the phones features. I dont want to waste my time with ROMS where the WiFI, camera, 3G, bluetooth or other features dont work properly.

3. Hacks/Mods. I cant seem to find a list of the most popular (and reliable) hacks and mods avaialble for the Galaxy s3. I've heard there are some great ones for the camera and the audio drivers but I haven't found any place where they are listed together. So if it exists could you point me to it and if not then could you share your favourite hacks with me please.

Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions and hopefully (after my long iPhone exile) I can start benefitting from the wonderful world of flashing ROMS too!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonny68:
1 - Titanium Backup PRO is the only way to go, i also recommend Lookout Mobile security

2- I use AOSP ROM's as most of the bloatware is gone and they are far more advanced than Samsung based ROM's but from what im looking you want i think you would be better off with a ROM like Android Revolution, Dragon ROM or Omega,again there are dozens of ROM's to choose from i recommend you take some time out to check their different features.

3- As above take some time to search the S3 forums there are many brilliant mods and hacks to be got.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lazee Wolf:
I was hoping for a few more responses and suggestions. I like the features of the MIUI rom but I dont like the iOS look.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrismast:
1. Backups:

I would go as well with Titanium Backup Pro for Apps & Data (non system)

For contacts & calendar just use gmail to sync them. This will automatically restore your contacts & calendar entries once you flashed a different ROM.

For music customization as well as SMS I am not sure, but there are at least solutions for SMS backups

2. ROM:

I am using Stock JB Rom (latest french version). Works pretty well so far and had no need to go custom ROM yet.

3. Mods:

The only additional things I install after flashing a new ROM are the extended power menu (as it is not included in stock ROMs obviously) and Syiah kernel (also includes some Audio tweaks in sTweaks) & config files for better battery life

Hope it helps you

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] ami2510:
Hey there I was searching/googleing the instructions for unrooting the T-Mobile Galaxy Note (t879) but could only find the international versions.

Does anyone know the process or can point me to a video/tutorial to go back to a fully unrooted Note?

Also, how do I go about going back to the tmo recovery, removing the CWM recovery? Where can I find that? Do I do that before I unroot it or after?

Once I flash the unrooted stock rom (if there is any for Tmo) do i need to reset the flash counter and how would I do that if it is unrooted?

Sorry for all the questions, I hope someone can help me...

Thanks in advance!

Background: my mic started to produce garbled noise, it works fine on handsfree mode but not on the regular mode. if I can fix it I don't need to go back to stock or unroot it.

I tried a different ROM but that didn't work (CM10), i cleared the tmo talkvoice app cache and data but still the same result.

So i assume that the mic is broken and that I will have to send it in/RMA it...

Please delete or merge this thread, I posted it in the wrong section, this should be in the Q&A section

ps: even that some operators are already selling the p880 here in brazil, the oficial lauch of this phone will be on this wednesday. Could that even possible be related to this error message?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Xenogenics:
When you manually flash .kdz files, most likely the file is not from your country. The only way to get it back is by using LG software and repair your phone to your country's firmware.

[LG Optimus 4X HD] profyler:
he phone update itself (not via OTA because it didnt worked for me) to the latest firmware by CHECKING YOUR IMEI. It means that if your firmware is EURO for example, and you install Asian firmware for example, it wont update to the latest Asian firmware, but to the latest EURO firmware because it will check your imei, not the firmware you have. =(
[LG Optimus 4X HD] RuedasLocas:
Thats normal.

They have somehow a kind of data base where are the produced devices.

To detect the latest firmware based in the installed firmware, they need to have some "tool" to search "inside" of each device. Like that java tool from nVidia to search the last drivers for example...

And if we want official we should leave the phone like it cames from factory, official... If we mess with FW and other stuff we can not expect that official support guesses what we've done or what we want...

Some persons opinion is that the official should give the latest original firmware, in case of need to go back to original. Others, that it should give the latest firmware based on the installed...

Allways someone complains cause its hot, or cause its raining, or because its cold... The perfection to everybody just don't exist :o
[LG Optimus 4X HD] profyler:
Yeah, i think they should check by checking your FW not IMEI. Thats sad because im nver gona receive the updates I want, only if I go back to stock FW or update via KDZ, but thats not a simple easy task to do all the time.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] RuedasLocas:
Don't worry, probably you come "here" every day soo... you'll know it soon enough if an update comes up :D
[LG Optimus 4X HD] emodom:
well seeing that there are various guides around that include step-by-step details on how to do it, i would reckon that things can't get any simpler :)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] profyler:
No. updateing via KDZ is easy, but doing everytime would be like pain in the ass (from 10c to 10d , then 10e etc etc etc), because everytime i would have to do backups and start all over again, since I wouldnt have OTA updates, nor LG Suite updates.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] RuedasLocas:
Why the need of all that process?

You can update from V10A straight to V10F...

I thing that LG Suite, once that is configured with european settings, should give you the updates to the european version.

But for now I don't expect updates in a very near future...
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Xenogenics:
Yes, why go though that process? I flashed mine from v10b to v10f euro open

hi guyz

anybody know how to fix these bugs ?

thnx
[LG Optimus 4X HD] RuedasLocas:
That's because you have a different version than the one for phone original country. No fix AFAIK...

what u think in future will be?

Future... we hope to get JB in a near future :)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] hernestwisnu:
Mine works. Never receive the update though. But it doesn't say Device is not registered yet, instead it tells me that I'm using the latest OS.

I'm using Open Europe v10h, while my stock should be v10e Indonesia.

What I did when flashing the kdz is this: I tried updating the usb driver tool, in that application, I chose United Kingdom as my home country. When it's done updating, I flashed the kdz. The reason I did this is to be able to update to JB on the go, if that thing ever hits O4X.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] iEthos:
what about wifi? why did u scrape off model? do u have F180L?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] hernestwisnu:
Dude, I think you're asking in the wrong room, this room is for Optimus 4X HD.

Anyway, assuming our devices run the same, you can always revert back to your original ROM by flashing it manually through KDZ updater or something like that.

The message telling your device isnt registered has got nothing to do with your phone performance, only you wont be able to get OTA update (which you can always manually flash)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] iEthos:
douudo duda dud .. u been replying to the wrong guy then .. cos been explaining him that NOT only here is the problem but i got same prob. with other lg phone.. duuud..
[LG Optimus 4X HD] hernestwisnu:
Sorry, my bad. This is what happened when you're browsing while driving.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] profyler:
wont work dude, had the same as you, if you hard reset your phone it will bring you the not registered yet message, the reason you dont have this, its because you didnt hard reset after flashing KDZ.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] hernestwisnu:
Damn, thats true. The damn thing is said unregistered after I did hard reset
[LG Optimus 4X HD] profyler:
yep, some system things only update it self after a hard reset when flashing KDZ.

[HTC Amaze 4G] Kobraki17:
So I was working on my phone, because in my apartment I went from having full signal/4g to having nothing whatsoever. Long story short, it turns out that T-Mobile is working on the tower and will have it resolved in 48hrs.

When working on my phone, I decided to slightly/gently bend the gold connectors on the back of the phone to ensure that they touch the back case firmly. In doing so, I accidentally/dumbly/n00bly snapped off a small portion of the pin. Not the bendy pin itself, but the smaller portion that is underneath it and attached to my phone. Is there any way to repair it? Will it effect my phone in anyway? Does anyone know what it does, exactly?

This is the one that I snapped off. It's the one on the right. Again, it's not the top/springy one that I snapped, but rather the tiny iode that ensures the springy portion makes a solid connection with the phone underneath.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ziggy46:
you might be able to get away with using a pair of tweezers and superglue... but since its on the phone itself and not the battery cover you may have to send it in for repairs
[HTC Amaze 4G] Kobraki17:
I was thinking about soldering a small bit under there, to ensure it would make a solid connection. Think that would work? Also, do you have any idea what that actually DOES? Are all of the connections a part of the antenna?
[HTC Amaze 4G] ziggy46:
that might work, you will just have to be careful not to burn the main board or make connections between other components.

and those specific pins connect to the antennas in the battery door, so yea pretty much

recently made it s-off, supercid, flashed with revolution 3.0.1 with recommended firmware containing radio 1.14.550L.17DC_30.78.550L.15.

anyway.. i cant use it.. because with my vodafone 3g sim it cant get a data connection at all.. i dont plan to change carrier.

question is... if i sell or give this amaze 4G fone to a telstra customer with a 4g sim.. will it work for them.. will it obtain a data connection at all ?

or should i throw it in the bin ?

[Motorola Droid RAZR] mtvdeo:
Build quality, design, call quality, battery life: RAZR

Video/Camera quality: S2

Overall, I would choose a Razr over an S2 without thinking twice.

The screen in the Razr = S2 and is a little bit bigger (0.03 inches or something like that lol).

Battery life, after trying both devices, I have to say Motorola is better.

ICS, yes maybe the GS2 has a lot of developers and custom roms, but the Razr stock ICS is the closest thing to a vanilla Android device.

Last but not least, actually the main difference which makes the Razr much better is webtop. HDMI port + Webtop on ICS is impressive.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] BubblizZ:
Razr isnt a piece of plastic
[Motorola Droid RAZR] lamborg:
One thing if anyone can help me with. The battery.

If I use the Razr for like 30mins call, and almost always on 2G or 3G internet, data connection with decent brightness, how many hours can I get? Possible to get around 12 hours?

In short, Razr has better battery backup than S2? Yes, mAH-wise and duration wise also?

I Googled it, but different sites gave different answers.
