If it really is unlocked, using a TMobile sim card should work. However, due to the radio frequency compatibility of this phone, you'll only get EDGE level data.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Red_81:
Just a warning. The eventual plan is for all networks to share that blacklist.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] clay101eve:
If you can prove you purchased that phone from someone, you may be able to have it removed from the blacklist. It's an extreme long shot, but worth it imo.

I was thinking the same thing so I called att customer service and the agent said the only thing way she could release it from the blacklist is if the person I bought it from called in and said they sold it. I'm all for the blacklisting of stolen phones but there must be a way to protect someone who'd bought a phone that was clean then the seller calls in and says it's stolen after the fact.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mrsolis014:
I have same issue

Hey i just bought a iPhone 5 from craigslist and it turns out it was black listed aswell, i want to know if att ever gave in and took your phone off the blacklist. I will be trying to contact them again today, please let me know if there is any advice you can give me..

thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Miami_Son:
There is. Only buy expensive technology devices from reputable people. In the case of a used phone, laptop or tablet, Craig's List and eBay are not reputable. At least eBay has Buyer Protection and you might get your money back. Craig's List has zero protection for buyers and I would avoid it. Not worth the risk to save a few dollars.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] serialteg:
i just tech-supported a i777 from att and it was blacklisted

blocked my SIM card (my account)

did not work unlocking and trying with TMO = got a phone not allowed MM6# message

dumb thing is, you want to return the phone to it's original owners, and the phone company says it can't or doesn't have that info (sounds like BS)

until there is a way to return the phone to its rightful owner then... whats the use? yes there is some poetic justice but...

we have to be VERY careful from now on with what we buy on the streets / used
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] zelendel:
Only buy the phone after going into an ATT retail store with the person your buying it from and have them check the IMEI and make a note to the account. Other then that there is nothing as it is your word against theirs.

ATT does have the info but are bound by law not to give it out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Eternalty:
+1. It seems like this is the only safe way to do it now. If the seller doesn't want to do it or seems uncomfortable then you know something's up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] aironham:
Is there a program.

Is there a program that I can download to unlock the imei or change it? I have a samsung galaxy s4 active for at&t.

No as doing so is illegal and against XDA rules.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpmiv:
Phone is on stock ICS 4.0.3. It's 10 months old and only exhibited the issue just recently.

While browsing using Dolphin over 3G the screen flickers while the page is still loading. The battery charge starts dropping quickly until the phone turns itself off. When the phone is turned on again after a few minutes the battery level is back at half. A check of the battery usage history shows a very steep drop followed by a rise back to mid levels even without charging. A full charge usually lasts 2-3 hours of continuous browsing.

Changed to Chrome and it still flickers. I charged it while off overnight once and will continue doing so until it behaves. Any other suggestions?

Our service has been erratic for a while though. The provider is upgrading some base stations. Could this be a factor?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitanshu91:

Yes even my Samsung note battery was swollen in 10 months just replaced it yesterday
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpmiv:
I'll try that. It does keep a good charge if left sleeping. I checked the usage and it was awake only intermittently with the internet off.

There are instances where signal strength drops though that's why I also suspected the provider. Games also do not affect the battery that much.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpmiv:
Got a shot of the battery usage:

The steep drop happens while browsing. What's weird is that the battery magically recovers some of its charge after 3g is turned off.

The battery is also not flush against the chassis at the bottom part. It seems to have a slight bulge on both sides. Oh well hope the warranty is worth something :eek:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpmiv:
[SOLVED] Screen flickers then phone dies while browsing over 3G

Bought a new OEM battery for around 40USD with a 6 month warranty. It's behaving itself for now. Problem is the battery I got was produced in the same month as the original battery. Hope it lasts longer.

The sales person said it could have been caused by a few bad habits:

- charging while using the phone (guilty)

- charging overnight (guilty but I thought the charger turns itself off after the battery's full?)

So now I turn off the phone while charging.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Technoholik:
I have the same issue of the screen flickering and as I see from the above posts, it is a battery issue. My battery has bulged A LOT. My phone is currently at the Samsung service center for the same problem. Will Samsung replace the battery under warranty? My 1-year warranty expires on November 20 (6 days from today) :P

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I leave a few app to a specific page or section that I use a lot open in the recent app. After few min. I click recent app, it will load the app and it will act like it open the app fresh. So the recent app is basically useless. Any idea??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rhed:
I think the Recent App is just that - it shows you your recent apps. Where it opens up depends mainly on your memory, whether it released the memory for that app to make space for another app, or still have that app's recent screen/page in memory.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jmbillings:
Your app will stay running in the background until Android decides that it needs to free up memory for something else.

Some apps cope better with this - Chrome, for instance, still goes back to the same tab I had open but seems to reload it from cache. Other apps just start afresh.

I'm not sure of any easy way to tell Android to not close a particular app I'm afraid :(

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
If you only flashed a new kernel, it should be sufficient to flash the original kernel again. If recovery is not working, out can do that in fastboot mode. If you do not have the a backup of your kernel, you can extract it from the factory image.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ffondeur:
Alright guys, im completely new to this and im very interested on starting to go around and learn some stuff in the Android world, specially with my Xperia Arc. I recently unlocked the bootloader via tespoint and installed an stable version of Cyanogenmod 9.1, however i found some things i would day prefer to have different, so for that i would like to know some things first before i start changing from rom to rom. I hope somebody would give a hand jeje.

1. To change from CM 9.1 to Xperia Pureness for instance, do i need to flash a new kernel on top of the FXP i already have on with CM 9.1?

2. If i would like to return to stock 4.0.4, would it be just flash the .ftf via flash tool?

3. Will flashing the 4.0.4 .ftf file via flashtool install the stock kernel and delete my FXP and CWM?

4. Does 4.0.4 stock works well with FXP kernel?

5. Every time im trying a new rom should i first flash the recommended kernel and then install via CWM?

Once again i hope someone would help me with those questions. i tried to find them on different threads but i couldn't get any with those specific questions...
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SammiSaysHello:
1. don't know

2. yep

3. yep. FXP and CWM gone

4. don't know

5. entirely your choice. You have to ask yourself, do you want to use the kernel? how is the current kernel doing? what are the details of the kernel? etc.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StateOfMind1976:
1) Both are ICS based roms, so in theory it should work (don't forget wifi modules), but I'm not sure about it.

2) Correct.

3) When flashing .ftf in Flashtool there is an option to exclude kernel, so in theory you should keep the installed kernel with its options. But I never tried it.

4) Don't know.

5) Not necessary, unless you change ICS and JB roms.

Hi:

I've been beta testing Nexis Media Importer 4.0 with a release date scheduled for 11/23, Black Friday, and a public beta release coming soon.

NMI 4.0 has the ability for either full screen photo scrolling or a split-screen thumbnails/image. It also has an internal audio player that allows multiple selection of tracks for playback. Coupled with the existing video streaming and the ability to open pdf, doc and xls on the fly, it's turned into a complete solution for Nexus 7 external storage.

Users can still access Photos, Vidoes, Music, Docs etc through a scanning or Folder View as well as accessing the music player or full screen photos via a separate folder/Photo or folder /music menu.

It offers most of the same features you see in the Kingston Widrive without having to recharge any batteries. My 64gb Class 6 MicroSd card connected to an OGA cable, gives me all the data I need on hand to keep my Nexus 7 up-to-date.

There will no doubt be some more changes before the final release but I'm already a happy camper.

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Sharpen3d:
Black Friday is a psuedo holiday in the US. The day after Thanksgiving (which is always a Thursday) about 90% of the country has off, and it's the unofficial start of the Christmas season. Therefore a large number of stores use this day to hold their biggest sales all year, pushing their profits into the black, thus Black Friday. Its completely insane, and there tends to be some people who get hurt each year, but, arguably, it's the best day to get many big ticket items. If you can fight off the crowds. Example: several stores have 32" TVs for under 100$, so that's going to be a bloodbath.

The cd command just doesn't ever change directories.

For completeness, I can not do abd shell ls ~/, as I have no HOME, but I assume this is normal?? I'm not concerned about HOME, it's fixable, but I really need to have the cd command working as I'm writing an IPython extension that wraps adb.

[Nokia Lumia 800] hawc1506:
Hello all,

My Lumia 800 has began to develop a screen issue. Just wanted to see if anyone else has had a similar experience.

I've been noticing that when my screen displays red or blue on medium and low brightness settings, there are lines that run across the screen. They seem like discolored pixels.

I'll post pictures once my roommate gets back. I have to borrow his computer to use his SD card reader. I put Windows 8 on my Vaio Z and the SD card reader won't work anymore...

[UPDATE] Photos
[Nokia Lumia 800] hawc1506:
Anyone know if this is normal for AMOLED screens?
[Nokia Lumia 800] vnvman:
Probably your unit has some issues...I only get a similar issue (not as apparent tho) when on a white screen, and this is due to the pentile matrix, but those colours should should be fine on AMOLEDs. I also just tried an orange wallpaper and I don't get any lines whatsoever. The only behaviour I'd call normal on AMOLED panels will have to be the spots of light you see on a black screen and the whites looking dirt from time to time , but I've never seen one doing that. Maybe you should sent it for repair.
[Nokia Lumia 800] hawc1506:
Darn. Unfortunately, I live in the United States and my phone (Puerto Rico Variant) is not covered under warranty as far as I know. Is there an international warranty? Mine is unlocked and unbranded.

I can perform the repair myself by ordering a screen off Amazon ($120).

Or this can be an excuse to jump to a Lumia 920 :P
[Nokia Lumia 800] Rataplan:
Make the jump :laugh:

Succes,
[Nokia Lumia 800] vnvman:
Well, switching to the 920 is probably the best option ;) however replacing a screen on a 800 is easy as pie. I did it for a friend of mine a while ago and it took like 5 minutes, you just gotta be a little careful not to mark the case in the process.
[Nokia Lumia 800] hawc1506:
There's a screen on sale on Amazon for about $120. Are there other places to get it for cheaper? Thanks!
[Nokia Lumia 800] hawc1506:
A quick update...

I contacted Amazon and told them that my 8-month old phone was defective. To my surprise, they are giving me a full refund ($600)!!!

I've never seen customer service like this before. I must've gotten real lucky this time. I don't know how or why, but they offered me a full refund. I felt bad at first and told them I'd be happy with just $200 credit, but they couldn't do that for whatever reason.

Anyway, my Lumia 800 is sad now and it's going home in a box. I'm going to use the refund to buy a 920, but I'm having a hard time parting with the 800...Maybe I'll get another 800 once the price comes down as a souvenir.
