is anyone having these issue????????
[LG Optimus G (International)] eeeeeeeeek:
After I disable wifi tether, the phoens wifi won't re-enable, I have to reboot the phone for wifi to start working again. Has anyone had this issue or know if there is a fix for it?
[LG Optimus G (International)] razholio:
I've got the at&t version and I'm seeing this as well. I can get a working hotspot with the SGSIII, generic and generic ICS/JB profiles, but with each one my wifi is horked after I stop wifi-tether. I can't use wifi as a client, and a second run of wifi-tether fails. A reboot clears the problem and I can both use wifi and wifi-tether again.

I'm hoping that there is either an update to wifi-tether or some profile that fixes this...

By the way I have the AT&T version of the phone, am rooted and have an unlocked bootloader. Under the app settings I have Routing Fix checked and under Change Device Profile I have Gneric ICS/JB (wlan0).

Any Ideas?

Sprint LG Optimus G Rooted

Android version 4.1.2

Baseband version M9615A-CEFWMAZM-2.0.1690

Kernel version 3.4.0

Build number JZO54K

Software version LS970ZVB

Wifi Tether not working.

3.3-beta2-06102013***Synergized***

The Wifi app will start with SU permissions. I have the settings set to the before mentioned advisement, however the wifi will not work i.e. it is not visible at all to any computer. When I am near another wireless network the wifi tether app will abruptly stop and give me an error that says "WTH your phone takes back over the wifi-interface" then the app shuts down.

Can anyone help with this issue, is there a resolution for the problem?

Is anyone else seeing the same thing?

I may be experiencing 2 seperate problems, meaning 1. the network is not seen and 2. the app stops from the wifi-interface taking control.
[LG Optimus G (International)] neo390:
I got same thing!

I got exact specs as you do and exact android version and kernel and everything else.

And i also have this problem with wifi tether.

Has anyone been able to solve this issue yet? Phone is completely rooted and any rooted app will work except the wifi tether.

Is there a ROM any know of that has built in wifi tether working fine so that i can flash it?

I need to have this wifi tether option working ASAP.

Please help!
[LG Optimus G (International)] neo390:
WIFI tether working!

Hey! I got a good news for those that had the same problem as i did with wifi tethering on Sprint LG Optimus G phone.

I am not a developer so i didnt come up with anything crazy, just played a lot with whats available online, so i take no credit for doing anything, just wanted to share a method of tethering that finally worked for me.

Here is what i did to make it work:

1. download and install PdaNet+ app

2. download and install the key for it (yes it works)

3. it will tell you that you need to download EXE installer to be able to tether through USB cable.

You can just google it or go here ( pdanet . co ) and download it.

Basically what you will get is a USB tether and all though some of you really want a wifi tether (i do too), however this is the only tether method that has worked for me so far, so i am happy that at least its working.
[LG Optimus G (International)] runningbandit:
WIFI Tether

I just bought the Sprint version of the LG Optimus G. I rooted, but did not install any new roms or anything. I am using the Wifi Tether now, by using the Generic setting, but if i turn the screen on I get the "WTF" message and it shuts down. It's weird. My wife is using PDANET no problem. so I am installing that now.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheDSMjuggalo:
So im looking at getting the MetroPCS branded Samsung Galaxy S3 but I really dont like touchwiz. I have looked around for ROMs for it but all I can find are the flashed phones from Sprint. So are there ROMs in the works or should I use the ROMs for the Sprint Branded GS3?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolhof:
You can download a 3rd party launcher.

That way you don't need to use touchwiz.
[HTC One X] mibikin:
I have posted this in Q&A twice and no help, so forgive me for wrong section.

My One X has a very weird issue that no matter what I can't find anyone who has it. It has a screen flex on the right side, but if I press on the side or something else does, the phone shuts off. The only way to turn it on after this is to plug it into the wall. HTC wouldn't take it because of the bootloader. I just would like to know if there is anyway possible to fix this. I can't even put a case on the device because doing so cause the phone to turn off in my pocket.

The only thing you could do is to take it apart and search for the problem and then eventually replace the defected part
[HTC One X] BenPope:
If you have the AT&T version, you'd be better off in that forum, this is for the Tegra version.

I'm.sure the States has consumer protection law, it's clearly a hardware defect. Put stock ROM and whatever else on it and insist your retailer deal.with the problem.
[HTC One X] mibikin:
I bought the International One X when I was in Lebanon, I just use at&t as my carrier. I'm pretty much screwed.
[HTC One X] thekillingroad:
HTC has international warranty, but not sure it if covers US or not.

I can have a warranty in Turkey for devices which are bought in the EU. Better check with HTC support.
[HTC One X] pushu.x:
The warranty for all HTC devices is as thekillingroad mentioned is "INTERNATIONAL" and should cover the US as well. I had a problem with mine as well, a different one, but if it wasn't for the warranty provided by the carrier I've bought the device from I would've sent it in service under HTC's warranty.

You just have to contact HTC CS and they'll tell you the procedure you have to follow.

I wasn't satisfied with the quality of the repair my device received as it came back with more defects the than it was sent in with and contacted them by phone and afterwards got a complete replacement.

My advice: don't even hesitate to give them a call.

Best of luck.

Hi, everyone. My HD2 Leo1024 was just out of battery. I wanna charge it but it automatically boot up to the MAGLDR. The phone doesn't have enough power to boot the Android OS so whenever I plug in it loaded to the MAGLDR instead of charging.

HELP!~

Much appreciated!:victory:

put the phone into bootloader and leave it, it will charge, just more slowly than usual. Give it half an hour, should then have enough charge to start android.

Just got a Brand New GS3 for $.99 with ATT

AT&T has matched Sam's Galaxy S3 BF price of .96 and let me upgrade 2 weeks early. I can provide proof if you need it, I have the email confirmation.This totally beats waiting in those black friday lines. They also said that I can call back when i get my bill and they will remove the 36$ activation fee

I just called at&t and asked them if they could override the upgrade date to make it 2 weeks earlier to take advantage of sam's offer on black friday. But they said that they could not do it, but they could price match it. Now, I am getting the GS3 2 weeks before black friday at the black friday sam's club price without having to wait in those ridiculous lines!

Did you ask to speak to someone in a particular department (retentions, etc) or did you just start with the person who answered when you called? I want to be sure I direct the request to the same place so I can get this deal too.

Thanks!

damn. i paid full subsidized price for my wife and mine. baaaaah. this was almost 2 months ago though, so there ain't no way i'm gettin' anything back. thankfully, i sold my unlocked iphone 4 for $300 to help offset the costs.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kettir:
Woohoo! I just called AT&T and they refunded me the price for the Gs3 I purchased a week ago. Sweet! Thanks for the heads up!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] scav1180:
So does ATT PM? EverytimeI talk to them, they say we dont do that.. Wife needs a new phone.. I'll try later today.

The best I got for my S3 was, $200 credit, with upgrade fee reversed, and 2 year contract removed. Of course this came with a cost, I had to battle with ATT for a week about my unlimited data,
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] metaldood:
If you wait for 6-7 months then you will get the note 2 for that price. Price drops are normal with Android devices ;)

I just tried and got shot down, they told me they do not price match.

Went to the retail store as well and got shot down there as well.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sicmadek:
They say they wont price match but sometimes can just get them to credit the difference to your bill
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nae10135:
Confirmed! I got the price match via 611.

I JUST got off of the phone getting the price match. So here are the details:

I've been an AT&T customer since before the Cingular merger, but have been off contract for about 2 months. (Last contract renewal w/ phone upgrade was Sept 2010)

I called into 611, and the upgrade sales department. I told my CSR Justyn (female) that I was off contract, and interested in the GS3, but I was not sure I wanted to go back on contract for a $200 phone. I asked if AT&T would be willing to price match an offer from Sam's club for the GS3 w/ a 2 year contract. She asked how much, I replied with $0.96. (Note: I did not mention that this was a Black Friday special) After verifying that my account was in fact out of contract, she put me on hold to ask her manager if this price match could be confirmed.

She came back from hold, said that her manager would match that price to start a new 2 year contract. I also made sure to get an email documenting that I would keep my grandfathered unlimited data plan.

Final cost: 16GB GS3 - $0.96 + $10.36 S,H,&T = $11.32 total.

If you call in, are polite, but with hesitation to upgrade (and being available to do so) I don't see a problem for anyone else trying to get this for themselves.

(BTW - My GF just got a GS3 a few days ago, and is pissed that she paid $199. She is going to see about getting a refund from T-Mob tonight. :p )
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] chaitu_005:
Awesome, just got off the phone with ATT customer care (third time`s the charm), they credited $200 to my account as a price match from bestbuy (BB price matched me for Amazon`s $99) .
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] badgcoupe:
Another success story, just got off the phone. Got a very nice rep, was super polite, said i was a long time customer (even though it only showed i was since January) and got my phone fully refunded! Big thanks to the OP for this!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] no driver:
Well I had mixed success. I followed the approach of nae10135 and I ended up getting them for $50 each, which is what I had been hoping to pay before I saw these extreme deals for BF. I called, spoke to a guy who said $50 each, I said I needed to think about it and he said he'd put a note on my account. I called back an hour later and the lady I spoke to said that they were $300 each (!) and that she didn't have to honor the note on the account. I called back again right away and told the guy I was confused about whether they would honor the offer from the first guy and he was like "Of course we will, it's already noted on your account."

Took longer than I expected but they should be here early next week. When we were almost done I thought to ask if a local AT&T store would have honored the price from the first guy and he said that they might or might not, but I kind of wish I'd gone by to check so I didn't have to wait for shipping etc. Oh well.

The most important thing to me was getting it for a decent price and not having to lose my data plan, which I would have given up if I'd actually gone to Sams.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] lunercrab:
Nice. Yeah att has been very generous lately. For me for instance. I renewed my contract and got the S3 in July for 150. Went in in September and upgraded my same contract again and got the hox for 99.00 to sell. Then just last week they let me upgrade the same contract again and sold me another gs 3 for 199. So I got three phones at the subsidised price in like 4 months time :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] syedhussain:
Hey guys. OP here... My galaxy s3 ARRIVES TOMORROW!!!!! So excited

ALSO: YOU CAN GET ATT TO WAIVE ACTIVATION FEE AND SHIPPING FEE AS THEY DID FOR ME! I PAID A TOTAL OF $1.05 FOR EVERYTHING
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] deathrider138:
I bought my s3 almost a month ago for the full subsidized price of $199. Felling inspired by this post I called att and got a $99 credit on my account. So not as great as $.99 but an improvement from where I'm sitting.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mikaarce:
Called twice different reps not aware of pricematch, even asked them nicely to check with their manager. will try again later.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] badgcoupe:
As someone stated before, I would try going the whole "credit my account for being a loyal customer" route instead of the pricematch route. That's what ultimately worked for me.

I just tried to online chat to get a refund. Didn't work out like I had hoped. I bought my phone a month and a half ago. They only have me a $36 activation credit back. How exactly were y'all saying that you got them to do a full refund? Are all of you within the 14 day trial period???

Another success! I called customer service and asked about the price match and they gave me the gs3 for free, no actavation fee and free shipping. So YMMV on this one

Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bille2021:
Well, I'm on my 4th call and no luck. All the reps just tell me that they don't price match...even though I said this may stop me from going to Verizon on one call. Good luck...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] picklerelish:
No luck for me either. I tried the online chat, where she just kept telling me over and over that "the price is $199". I also called customer service, and the woman called over a manager who knew about the sale on black friday, but said that they couldn't match the big box prices. I just saw that this weekend, tmobile is offering the galaxy s3 for free, so I may switch to them...

Edit:

-------

Tried online again, this time, I got him to offer me a $50 credit, and to waive the activation fee, still not good enough.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mikaarce:
Third try and more than an hour of pls wait while I check with my manager. The best price they can offer me for upgrade was 99. Then I tried a different line of mine to upgrade one which is not due for an upgrade. They ended up giving me the note 2 for 199 w waived activation fee. Ill try again for the s3 tom.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] shans:
Another success. Had added a line on 10/09 with galaxy s3. First tried customer care. Not good. Second tried online chat. He/She suggested calling customer care. Third tried chat again. Got 150$ refund. Happy.

Thanks OP! I am really bad about not shopping around when I buy stuff. I finally got around to checking out the GS3 and liked it so I bought it. After seeing this thread I was a little depressed until I called customer support and was issued a $220 credit.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] syedhussain:
Hi guys. OP HERE;

Get this;

So my GS3 arrived yesterday and this was pretty much going to be a cross upgrade with another line on the account, and I called AT&T to get it all sorted it. THIS WAS MY LUCKY FRIGGIN WEEK: AT&T COMPLETELY BOTCHED AND BUTCHERED THE cross upgrade and I had to go to a corporate store to get things sorted out. BECAUSE OF THE BOTCH, I WAS GIVEN A $199 CREDIT TO MY ATT ACCOUNT! AS AN INCONVENIENCE CREDIT!

So here is a breakdown of all the deals i got this week

1. SAMSUNG GS3 for $.99 with no shipping fee or activation charge

2. $199 credit to my ATT account because of a butchered cross upgrade by the representative

should i play the lottery this week?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] whiteguypl:
I just got off the phone with them and a big ol fat nope. lol they wouldnt even offer less than $199 and they offered $175 to me like a week ago. Ill be calling again tomorrow to see what happens.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] badgcoupe:
THEY WILL NOT PRICE MATCH!

Instead go the whole "I've been a loyal AT&T customer for blah blah years and would like it to stay that way. Are there any credits you could apply to my account seeing this deal is happening at Sams club."

The first line sales reps have the ability to apply credits up to $250 without managers approval. Be kind, and be patient, ask them how they are doing, small talk about the weather, and try to relate to them and if you get a normal non disgruntled agent they should help you out.

If you get an agent that hates life, say thanks, hang up, and and try calling during a different shift.
