No, you will have to go into settings, mobile networks, and search when the new sim card is placed in the phone.

Rooting is not dangerous, installing things on the phone that aren't made for it or installing apps from non trusted sources are dangerous.

As long as it is ATT and not TMO sim it will use ATT towers to deliver service to the phone.

[About XDA developers] jb_wisemo:
While trying to get past my 10 post "presumed noob" penalty (I am a professional dev IRL), I tried to reply to a thread where the box at the bottom of the page said that in that particular area I could post replies, but not new threads. As a good netizen I skimmed through the entire 100 pages+ of the thread before pressing reply, only to get an error page which (somewhat indirectly) told my I had no posting rights in that subforum.

This is quite disheartening. Not only are new devs forced to do 10 posts worth of "noob help duty", but the things telling us where we can carry out this penal work seems to be wrong, thus redoubling the penalty for signing up.

What is wrong with this picture?

Is the error page wrong, or the indicators at the bottom of the thread pages?

Either needs to be fixed.

P.S.

The "Is this thread a question" box is another harassment trick. I tried to tick it to indicate this posts needs a reaction of some kind (to fix the bug or explain what I got wrong about the UI), but all I get is a message that general questions belong elsewhere.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Senorkabob:
If this isnt in the right spot please move it there, but I ran across this issue and figured I'd share the fix.

I kept getting Device Not Found in ADB while booted into Recovery so I followed the steps here:

http://blog.dantup.com/2012/10/fixing-adb-device-not-found-with-nexus-7-in-recovery-mode

Problem is, if you're on Windows 8 editing that file will cause a hash mismatch not allowing you to install the driver.

To go around that, follow these steps here:

http://www.windows7hacker.com/index.php/2012/09/3-ways-to-fire-up-windows-8-advanced-boot-options/

Once inside the Advanced Startup menu, click Troubleshoot, then Advanced Options, then Windows Startup Settings. Hit Restart Now and when it reboots into those settings hit the number 7 to Disable Driver Signature Enforcment. Once you reboot try installing the modified driver again. Should work.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graffixnyc:
all of that is not needed. Just install the windows 8 drivers:

http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/EeePAD/Nexus7/usb_driver_r06_windows.zip

Unzip the file to a folder on your computer

When you connect your nexus to your computer you will have to go into the device manager. You will see the Nexus listed there with a "!" (assuming you had the previous drivers installed)

Right click, select update driver and point it to the folder you unzipped the file above into. After that adb and fastboot work fine with win 8. No need to jump through all the hoops.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Senorkabob:

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xXfuzzXx:
Not for me :) I had to use the ASUS files for ADB in Windows (yeah, 8 and 64bit), although I had the Univ. Naked Drivers installed already. But in fastboot Windows didnt want to recognize the device and it didnt let me install the ASUS r6, the Google original ones or the Univ. Naked :( (The last ones because of the hash), so I had to go into advanced startup and do the steps mentioned in the OP. (Damn Win 8 :D )
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pierre118:
For fastboot/adb in fastboot mode you need to disable driver signing, this is an other way to do that :

Command Prompt (as admin!)

Disable driver signing :

bcdedit -set loadoptions DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS

bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING ON

Reboot

(on your desktop you see the watermark : 'Test mode' This is permanent, even after every reboot till :

Enable driver signing :

bcdedit -set loadoptions ENABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS

bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING OFF

Reboot
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graffixnyc:
hmm that's odd. I was having the issue with the normal driver (win 8 64bit) and the normal driver would fail to reinstall(as many reported). I downloaded the one I linked to and updated the driver in device manager and adb and fastboot worked without doing anything else.

I can choose only the MTB USB device when I try to update Nexus 7 driver

I wanted to root my Nexus 7 device on the basis of a tutorial (links not allowwed yet :( )

Downloaded the Asus driver.

I choose the "Update Device Driver Software"option from Device Manager on Nexus 7, pointed to the installation folder on my computer ".. \android-sdk-windows\extras\google\usb\android_winusb.info" file, but the model window shows only the MTP USB Device, instead of the list of Android ADB Interface, Android Bootloader Interface and Android Composite ADB Interface.

The winusb.info file contains info for these drivers. If I point to this file, get an error message:

"The folder, You specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with Windows for x64-based systems."

The host computer able to connect to the device, and I can list the folders, but the fastboot doesn't work.

Does anybody has a solution?

T-Mobile Sim tied to IMEI

I just purchased T-Mobile's prepaid data plan. There's a couple of things. When setting up the SIM, they did require a IMEI to activate the data. Without it, it showed T-Mobile as the carrier on the lock screen but never pulled data. And T-Mobile's SIM rules require that if you do prepay, you must reload/use it as frequent as not having a 90 day window between uses/purchases... otherwise the SIM will be deactivated and you'll have to do it all over again.

Hope that helps.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
I think that's because, when you give T-Mobile an IMEI on prepaid, they use that to determine whether they are going to provision you a voice or data line. You can still probably use that SIM in other tablets or maybe even mobile broadband devices. Unclear whether it'd work fine in tablets or phones with IMEIs they don't recognize. They'd probably block it if you put the SIM into a phone they recognize.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wi11iamedward:

Oh well, best we can do now is wait it out and see when they start stocking more.

The only reason why I am waiting for the phone is because of the restocking fee.

Wanted to start new thread about SBSOD that I experienced with my SGS3.

I think that the ROM was Omega v26 back then - not sure about the version but definitely Omega with stock kernel.

All of a sudden while having my phone lying on the table the screen went black and unresponsive.

Nothing worked - black screen only.

No leds, no soft keys, no recovery, no download mode, no boot, no charging, no power.

Tried every key combo, battery removals and keep-aways, connecting to computer, praying.

Nothing worked.

After all, I took my phone to a local dealer and they sent it to local repair shop.

Never said anything about customizing.

After one week I got my phone back.

They changed the chip. Don't know is it motherboard or what - just said chip changed.

IMEI was kept.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Simonetti2011:
Best decision one can take. Cheers for that, mate!

I've been following every topic here regarding the "blackening of death" and the vast majority of users have some custom rom and custom kernel installed.

Some also have the "battery charge mod" installed, which overdrives the voltage regulators of the battery charging circuit in order to have faster charging times. Are these people so naive (or stupid) that they think they can get away with that without damaging their phones?

Granted that some of these developers (such as Siyah's Gokhan) are extremely talented programmers, but most know jack about electronics engineering (my other hobby). Overdriving voltage regulators is a one-way path to electronically damaging the phone.

I have no idea if the OP is using or not some sort of "battery charging speedup mod", but every single post today about dead S III had devices with custom ROMs.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] henrybravo:
Are the voltage regulators truly being overdriven? What milliamperage are they rated at?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delsus:
I would like to know this as well if I was making a phone I would run the voltage regulators slightly lower than they are rated just to be safe.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Simonetti2011:
The stock (and SAFE!) values for charging the battery are:

- USB: 450mA

- Wall charger: 900mA

The problem here are:

- the max current the USB port can sink is 500mA. Some motherboards can push up to 700mA. making the phone recharge at 500mA in the USB port will not damage the phone but is making the port work on its limit all the time.

- the wall charger can source more than 1A, and making the phone draw more than that will damage both the phone and the wall charger. Mods mods I`ve seen (including the one in SiyahKernel) allows your phone to draw up to 1.2A. This is a recipe for disaster.

Honestly, 1A, even at low voltages is A LOT, really. Those who like arduinos, know we can do really neat stuff with a lot of components and still keep everything below 500mA @ 5V.

I partially blame Samsung on this, for not hard-locking the maximum currents in hardware. It`s because Samsung is so open about it that ignorant (in the electronics context) developers allow clueless users to change the charging current at will, even pushing it to very unsage values.

Other than having a root, everything else is stock in my phone: kernel, bootloader, recovery, ROM, etc. I haven't found a single wining argument pro-custom firmware that can't be easily beaten. There are no custom firmwares out there that are, at the same time: safe, secure, stable & compatible (SSS+C).

Most developers target only performance, but at the expense of the other requirements (SSS+C)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] henrybravo:
You didn't answer my question but sorry I probably wasn't very clear. All those charging amperage specs you stated are commonly known in the hardware community, but your prior post made it sound like you knew the ratings of the electronics in the phone itself. Assuming that you have a charger that is rated at higher than 1.2A (such as an iPad charger which is rated at 2.1A for example), how do you know that 1.2A will damage the phone? Are you assuming the amperage rating of the stock AC adapter matches the maximum safe amperage the phone can handle?

edit: And how do you know that Samsung doesn't hard-lock the maximum currents in hardware? Maybe the hard-lock is 1.2A? or 1.3A? or 1.5A?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noobtron:
It's been a while since my lessons in Electronic, but if I remember it right the higher current affects only to times of charging. The higher Amperage the faster charging.

My phone did SBSOD while lying on the table - not wired, no charging.

Faulty voltage is the most common reason of circuit break down, e.g., bad power supply with malfunctioning DC/DC converter.

Correct me if I'm totally wrong.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obagleyfreer:
Sonetti2011 said above the SAFE and STOCK voltages for charging are:

Wall: 900Mah

USB: 450Mah

However in the Stweaks settings on Siyah kernel it states that the stok charging voltages are:

Wall: 1000Mah

USB: 475Mah

So which is right? And if the lower figures are right then why has Gokan made the default values 1000 ad 475 Mah this could be a reason for damaged phone, at least ones running Siyah kernel.

Can someone please clarify the STOCK,SAFE voltages for charging?
