[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikaole:
Were are you on your Pad while trying adb?

For me ADB only runs in TWRP recovery or in system
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Agred:
Nah... I didn't even think of connecting in fastboot/recovery/anything with Pad.

uh... I just realised that while connected in TWRP my OS sees TF300T as Transformer and there IS a yellow icon. Even though, I can't install drivers or anything. Windows says that there he couldn't update drivers for this device. Any solutions? Beside using drivers from the SDK I tried downloading drivers from other topics but it didn't help.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Agred:
Okay... So I changed the OS and installed drivers again. Now everything works. Dunno why it didn't for the first time, but nevermind now. Thanks for help, anyway :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mottyengel:
I just switched from att to tmo because i was able to get the phone cheaper on value plan (250 down and 20 a month) and mainly because they are the only ones who have good unlimited data, sprint sucks, who knows when lte will eventually be available for sprint...

The plans are really cheap! im on the value plan because i bought the phone outright, but i moved my mom and dad over from att family plan too.

before we were paying about 340 for all 3 unlimited everything, now it comes to 177, and we were able to get 8 percent off every bill because of my fathers company which happens to be on their list. And, we can add my sister for free for 500 minutes and unlimited night, weekends, and mobile to mobile and text.

The question was service, but i didnt care and my parents said that to save like 150 a month, they dont care either. i live in brooklyn, ny. service seems to be pretty good. The data is amazing! Honestly, you dont need more than 5-10 mbps and i get solid 10-15 or sometimes 8. thats amazing! who needs effing LTE! and according to tmo store employees theyll have lte next year.

From what i hear, customer service sucks... i havent had that yet....

My mother does sales, so she drives all over the tri-state area not just in heavily populated areas so it remains to be seen how happy she will be with it... but still Its so freaking cheap it doesnt matter

anyone else's thoughts
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] vltchkr:
We have been with T-Mobile going on 8 years now. Currently have 5 phones on the Classic Unlimited Family plan. The coverage is great, with few dropped calls. Customer service is good, but their Automated Directory is a pain in the !@#$. 1 suggestion to get to a live agent is to say "Loyalty" when asked what you want to do. My biggest grip with them, and I'm sure this goes for the majority of carriers is their Tech Support is worthless.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dre89:
I switched after 5 years with Sprint. Since they keep dropping support for the device I purchased it was time for a change. Plus with all the same features on the plan I had, I'll pay 147 at Tmo vs 194 at sprint.

And Hspa+ 42 is soooooooo much faster the the wimax I had on my Photon

noted for future reference on my Note 2
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] vinterchaos:
I had switched to Sprint for the EVO 3D and the plan at the time seemed like a good deal.. biggest mistake ever leaving T-Mobile.. 3 months of painful service from Sprint... they canceled both contracts, kept the phone, sold em and moved the wife and I back to T-Mobile. Not planning on leaving for the foreseeable future.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] initial_k:
The gf had an AT&T iphone and after 2 years and no longer in contract..., she wanted to cancel her $30 dollar dataplan and continue to just use the phone. They said No to her and that she must keep the dataplan. She said she would go to T-mobile. They didn't care and dare her.

So now she's on T-mobile with her iphone, no data plan required. T-mobile is very flexible.

Also Sim based phone > CDMA phone all day. Not only is the resale value higher, you can actually use it outside of the US.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jonjon68:
I've been a TMO customer for 10 years. I would disagree with the poster that said their Customer Service is a negative. I haven't called recently other than lighting up the SIM that came with the Note 2 from Wirefly (I wasn't cutting my GS2 SIM) and that went similarly to every other call I have ever had with them. Outstanding every time. The only issue I have ever had with Tmobile is coverage. It sucks at my house so WiFi calling is mandatory IF I care about talking on the phone, I don't. This part of the country is Verizon for excellent coverage. Tmobile struggles in rural areas but again, I don't really care about that. It's rare I find myself in those areas. Customer support, in my experience, has always been a very positive experience.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] AG0087:
You can't cancel your data plan on AT&T while on contract, you can pay a min of $25 a month for the data plan. I moved from ATT to Tmobile because of unlimited data. My contract is up with ATT in Jan. Was paying $50 for 5G, $30 unlimited text and on a $69. 99 family plan of 700 min. a month. Screw them... Moved to Tmobile for a valu plan of $79.99 + tax... UNLIMITED EVERYTHING. I don't miss ATT' lte cuz there ain't none in my area and seriously Tmobile runs faster.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] babymatteo:
Love Tmobile. I'm on their prepaid Monthly4G $30/mo plan. Can't beat it. Sure i only get 5GB of 4G data, but with WiFi all day at work and at home, I don't really need the unlimited data.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] vltchkr:
I've been reading a lot about some of the carriers LTE and how TMO is faster. What I have heard is TMO is going LTE sometime next year, I'm hoping this doesn't effect our current speed?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mottyengel:
Thats exactly what I had with att and exactly why I left. But it sounds like youre paying 10 dollars to much now. I'm paying 69 for unlimited everything with no data cap.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mottyengel:
That sounds just like what I had but it sounds like youre paying 10 dollars too much now. I have unlimited everything with no data cap for 69.99...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlczl:
at&t is so stupid........you can't even cancel your data plan even if you're not on contract. Smartphone = data plan REGARDLESS.

That's why I have T-Mobile even though I work for at&t.

I have 5 smartphones on my plan but only have data plans on 2 of them. My kids only use data wherever there is wifi. Why can't at&t understand that I don't know but T-Mobile does.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] initial_k:
This is true. They won't let you cancel your data plan even if you're off contract. If you're using any smart phone, they required you get a data plan. lol. Plus i think they have a 2GB data cap on their LTE and if you go over, they charge for it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] farfromovin:
OP, I was in a smilar boat as you. Transferred the fam over to value and have 4 great lines for less than $140. I thought service would suck compqred to AT&T, but quite the opposite. The only carrier coverage and speed envy I have is for VZW, but with their dumb CDMA, locked bootloaders, and double high prices they can keep it lol.

Very happy Tmo customer for the last 14 months.
[HTC One S] big fancy:
So I have an HTC Sensation right now. Been with T-mobile for many many years. Saw the ad for the free black one s online yesterday and figured I'd try and get it. Well when I tried to upgrade it said i had to pay $150. Called tmobile customer service and they hooked me up! Apparently she couldnt get me a black one. I was a little bummed about that, but shes shipping me the gray blue one for $150 with a $150 mail in rebate. Sweeeet!

If free us what you want and you are a long time customer with outstanding positive payments throughout talk to retention.

Haha I'm quite jealous. I think the black one looks sickkk!

I guess you're talking about your color preference, because the specs are the same.

Or maybe referring to the ceramic housing which is supposedly stronger and more durable than the aluminum that we have on our gradient blue ...

but chips, although i've been told they've fixed that :)

Hey fellas and fellerinas.

My name is Apex, and I'm an alcoholic.

(Just kidding, but seriously)

I recently won a One S from the Big Android BBQ here in Texas. I like it, but have found a few issues with it. It's a 'global' unlocked, unbranded version, and it's pretty sweet.

Any how, just thought I'd introduce myself and hope you guys will go easy on me...

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Naganalf:
Hey guys,

I'm very new to Android and I have a few questions. I used to install custom OS's on my blackberry and I jailbroke my iphones so I'm some what used to this stuff but every operating system is obviously different. So I've had my S3 for about 6 weeks and I finally rooted a couple days ago. To root I followed this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1875914. I rooted, unlocked the bootloader, and installed clockworkmod recovery. Now I have been wanting to load a jelly bean ROM. I kind of wanted to load the Synergy ROM found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1792499. So am I ok to just download from that thread and drag and drop to my phone on my PC and just follow the directions? I don't have an external SD Card is just fine to use internal storage? Like I said all I have done is rooted from that first link. I just kinda wanted some verification before I go and brick my phone, thanks for your help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] letinsh:
Piece of cake. If you scroll down to the second post of the Synergy thread, you'll see the very first question in the FAQ:

So, download the ROM (using either your phone (take note of where it saves it) or computer). If using your computer, connect your phone and drop that sucker somewhere on the SD card (external or internal -I use internal). (I create a folder in the root of my internal SD card called Files to Flash, in which I keep everything I flash, so it doesn't get scattered about, but do what you want ;) )

Use Titanium Backup to back up all your apps and data to restore later (when you do restore, since you're going from ICS to JB, don't restore any System Data as it will cause many issues (apps and app data is fine)).

Reboot into recovery using Rom Manager, as mentioned in the rooting tutorial you followed.

Use your volume keys to navigate to "backup and restore" and select it using either the home or power button.

Select "backup" and wait for your nandroid backup to complete.

Next, navigate back to the original menu and select the "wipe cache/factory data reset" option.

Once that's done, select the "wipe cache partition" option.

(side note: Instead of doing those two things, I like to go into the "mounts and storage" option and select "format /system" "/data" and "/cache". Both ways work - BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO FORMAT SDCARD AND EXTERNALSD IF YOU USE MY METHOD...bad joo joo).

Select the "advanced" option from the initial menu and "wipe dalvic cache".

Now you're ready to install.

In the first menu, the second option is "install zip from sdcard." Select it.

Select "choose zip from sdcard" and navigate to where you saved the ROM and select it.

Scroll either up or down, passed all the "no"s and select "yes" and let it do it's thing.

Once it's done, navigate back to the menu you first started at by selecting the "Go Back" option, then reboot and profit. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
letinsh posted pretty much the most concise instructions to follow. In addition, I'll suggest to backup your IMEI prior to flashing anything.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Naganalf:
So I can just go to this website from my phone and go to the download link and download directly to my phone? Is that easier/faster? Thanks for responding
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] letinsh:
Good call, Snoop.

I totally forgot about it because I did it once and have flashed dozens of times since ;)

Naganalf - as far as downloading via fone or computer, it's really 6 of one, half dozen of the other. Whichever makes you more comfortable. Keep in mind that it is HIGHLY recommended that you check the md5 sum of your download before flashing, to ensure you have a good download. I have an md5 sum checker on both my computer and fone, so I can do either fairly easily.

This is the one I used on my computer

and I use MD5 Checker by Fabien Thalgott (play store) on my phone.

Having just looked at the Synergy thread, they don't post md5's for their nightly's, so don't worry about that step for them, although, it typically is good practice to check (I hardbricked my S3 the third day I had it by pushing a corrupt file using Odin that would have been caught if I had checked the md5). (Got it JTAG'd back to life, so no worries - everything is recoverable from except physical damage ;) )
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Naganalf:
Thanks for your help snoop and letish, after this first flash I will be much more comfortable. I am downloading now so when it gets done I will give it a whirl and let you know how it goes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] letinsh:
No worries, dude. I agonized for days before I rooted and flashed my first ROM on my OG Droid back in the day - had one of the founders of DroidForums (synik4l) on G-chat while I did the deed...I was so chicken ;)

Good times, though. Just do your research, understand what it is you're doing, mitigate any risks (by doing your research...) and go to town! Most of the bugs in the process have been ironed out by jokers like me testing and hard-bricking along the way :p. At this point, the processes are very user friendly and reliable:fingers-crossed:

Enjoy!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] letinsh:
How'd it go?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Naganalf:
Getting ready to try it now, I will let you know.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Naganalf:
when i "Reboot into Recovery" from Rom Manager i don't have a "backup and restore" option. it only has "reboot system now", "apply update from external storage", "wipe data/factory reset", "wipe cache partition", and "apply update from cache"

am I missing something?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
If you haven't selected any options yet then just go back into your rom. You need to download EZ Recovery from the Play Store so that you can flash a custom recovery (ClockworkMod or TWRP) through that app.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Naganalf:
I'm sorry but I'm a little confused. Why is it only giving me those options when I reboot into recovery from ROM Manager? The first time after I rooted I'm pretty sure there was an option to "Backup and Restore". Also, why can't I just go into ROM Manager and select "Install ROM From SD Card" and select my ROM that way? sorry but I do appreciate your help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] letinsh:
Good questions. The recovery you rebooted into is the Stock recovery that comes with the phone. Your OP in this thread says that you installed CWM recovery. It looks like it didn't stick. Two options - Use the program Snoop suggested, or open up Rom Manager and hit the "Flash Clockwork Mod Recovery" option.

From there you can continue as previously explained.

EDIT - I've never used the ROM Manager's install ROM from SD card option, so I can't speak to it. I know I like having the control (or perceived control ;) ) of doing everything by hand in recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Naganalf:
ok I have loaded android version 4.1.1 build number SynergyROM Nightly JB(r111) so I guess i did everything correctly. now i'd like to get my phone kinda back to how i had it lol. if I run titanium backup will my home screens all be restored the way I had them? and when i run titanium backup i ONLY want to run "restore missing apps with data" right? not "restore missing apps + all system data" just want to make sure. thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] letinsh:
Correct, don't restore the system data. Now, if you want your txt messages back, you'll see a yellow Messages backup (with a TiBu logo). If you restore that (the only option available is Data, I think), you'll get your txts back.

Remember that you'll prolly need to reboot after the restore, then use ROM Manager to Fix Permissions, then restart again. You'll be off to the races!

As far as getting your home screens back, I don't know if that'll be possible, although they're both TouchWiz launchers....might be alright, then :)

I run Nova launcher regardless of ROM, so all I have to do is restore the Nova app, then used the built in Nova backup/restore to get my home screens back. Let me know how the Titanium restore works! As a side note, if I have any doubt about whether I'll be able to get my launcher set back up (or I'm switching launchers to try them out), I'll take quick screenshots of all my screens and use that as a reference to set them back up :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Naganalf:
well i think im all set, thanks again for your help guys. I went ahead and installed nova launcher so i can back up my home screens like you said. so if I want to try a different ROM do i need to flash back to stock first? or just do it like i did this time?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HoudiniJr:
Nahh, just as simple as putting the ROM you want on your ex SD card or internal one which ever you prefer, wiping system/data , and wiping your cache, and then flash your new ROM :D. You can also "dirty flash" if say you are just moving from r111 of synergy to a newer one. Typically on the forum you will see if anyone had any problems dirty flashing. I always go with a clean flash just to avoid any problems to begin with.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] letinsh:
What he ^ said. You can go from ROM to ROM. I, also, like Houdini said, like to flash clean each time. Try it both ways and see if you have problems :)

I just threw out Nova as an example - there are several good launchers out there...Nova, Apex, Go Launcher (I'll probably catch flack for mentioning it), Trebuchet (from CM). Most if not all have the ability to backup your settings. Try 'em each and figure out which one works best for you :good:

Glad it worked, buddy. Welcome to the flashing addiction :highfive:!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HoudiniJr:
+1 for Nova :D Apex is also pretty good. Like lentinsh said, most if not all have the ability to back up your settings, making flashing from ROM to ROM that much easier :good: Cant go wrong with Nova though :laugh:

App Restore

Hey peeps,

I have been able to flash a few new ROMs but can't quite get my Apps Restored. I have/had Titanium Back up installed and backed up. With each ROM I install I don't quite get how to restore the Apps I had installed, Titanium Back up gets dropped when I flash to a new ROM.

I'm going to search the Forum for App Backup 101...

OK so I found a link to App Backup and Restore in GPS, on a different thread looks like it is what I need

thanks for any tips...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HoudiniJr:
Just go into the play store and redownload TiBU or back it up on your SD card so that way it doesn't get touched when you flash from ROM to ROM. I personally have it backed up to my SD card. Used Gemini to do so.

Sent from my Secret Base in Outer Space
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] scoutzilla:
Ok I will give TiBU a go, "Redownload" is the key. I did this with "App Backup" in the play store, it worked to reinstall the apps I wanted. What App Backup did not do is also load up my App Files. So when I went to play a game app I had I was back to square one.

I will report back if TiBU reinstalls the Apps and App progress files.

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] scoutzilla:
Perfect! That worked as I expected.

Now after a back up I'm off to try and get Google Wallet up and running

Hello!

I'm on T-mobile

I have been flipping between TouchWiz romz (infamous) and CM10 (liquid smooth) roms. I love the full functionality of the Touch Wiz roms - working perfectly 4.2 Camera app and wifi calling etc. But I find I can't live without a fully functional Google Voice app. The Touch Wiz rom does not integrate calls into the call log and does not display or play voicemails in the call logs. This is killing me! Is there a way to port the CM10 phone apk into a touchwiz rom to get this working?

Thanks!
