[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] the-Mike_D:
Does anyone know of a modified WPA_Supplicant file for the T-Mobile S3 TW JB 4.1 roms that would add the ability to see and connect to ad hoc networks? I've seen some for ICS but not JB. Maybe it exists but I just haven't found it yet.

My normal router recently burned out so I figured I'd use my computer with its separate wifi adapter to create an ad hoc network. Other laptops can see and connect to it (which is great with internet connection sharing) but my S3 cannot see it. That's the purpose of this question.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigrat:
I have noticed that performance on the Nook after an update goes down unless you specifically fix permissions. What filesystem permissions/ownership are actually broken or wrong? Is it a matter of fixing the build process to make sure the correct permissions are stored?

I have just place an order with theunlockguys.com, they said it's going to take 2 business days.

I will report my result here.

Has anyone anywhere ever actually got the code from one of these "unlockers" for any phone at a time when the carrier was not giving the codes to anyone?
[Nokia Lumia 920] McCrunch:
I highly doubt that it will work. The only way to get an unlock code is to get it from AT&T, who as previously stated, are not giving them out.

[Nokia Lumia 920] detox8907:
Keep us updated if anyone tries one of these unlocks. If this works I'll buy one from AT&T, if not, I'm gonna be getting the Lumia 810. I want Nokia on T-Mobile! :)
[Nokia Lumia 920] TJBunch1228:
Aren't you worried about being stuck on 2G if you use AT&T's version on Tmo?
[Nokia Lumia 920] foxbat121:
OP,

Please only post if you actually get the code. We have seen this same pattern on L900 forum for 6 months. They all take your money but none of them can give you a code.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Talderon:
With the 920, they will be able to get 2g, 3g and LTE, just not Tmo 4G if I read it right with the frequencies offered.
[Nokia Lumia 920] foxbat121:
For T-Mo, there is no LTE yet. And its 4G is the same thing as 3G. So, if you can't get T-mo 4G, you can't get 3G either. You stuck with 2G.
[Nokia Lumia 920] tai4de2:
If you're in a refarm area you will get 3G even without T-Mobile's magic 3G frequency.
[Nokia Lumia 920] ocalvo:
The unlockguys.com is no go:

Hello Oscar,

Thank you for your order, but we regret to tell you that we are currently not processing any orders for all Nokia Lumia 920 phones until the codes becomes available again. We have fully refunded your entire payment of $27.95. I will contact you as soon as the Nokia Lumia 920 code will become available. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.
[Nokia Lumia 920] geoken:
Awesome, as far as I can tell you're the first to confirm an unlock from a third party unlocking service.
[Nokia Lumia 920] liqn7:
Ehh it wasn't an AT&T unlock.

He got it from Canada so it was likely from Rogers.

There is still and probably won't be an unlock from Att for 6 months.

There are a lot of 920s on ebay saying they're unlockable from Att which is utter bs.

You have been warned.
[Nokia Lumia 920] EShy:
If you bought the Rogers model, it was unlocked to begin with (according to other accounts). did you try it with the Wind sim before gettingr an unlock code?
[Nokia Lumia 920] rajeshr:
Only the initial (pre-release) batch was unlocked. Anything available after the release date (second batch and later) was locked.
[Nokia Lumia 920] NicholG90:
Unlocked 920

Although yes it is a Rogers model I was also one of the first to get a non carrier unlock code on that model. And yes it was locked before the code. Tried it with a Wind Sim

Please read the thread title before you posting. This is about AT&T version of L920. Rogers 920 shall not apply because unlock policy and availability is different.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lpasq:
can someone with a N4 please look at the photo of my sim and tell me if the fact the contacts are not centered is a big deal if using the noosey to trim it. it is a question of how the contacts line up in the N4's sim slot. if center-cutting the micro sized sim using the noosey is not going to work then it will be done with an x-acto knife.

i am aware of how easy it is to get att to provide a micro but every time they touch my grandfathered contract-less account they screw me up somehow so i'd first prefer to not have to deal with activating a new sim.

your help is appreciated in advance.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danorthstar:
Cut mine down using the noosey today and working fine.. Full signal. You may need a file handy though to smooth edges and get a snug fit in the sim card tray.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
It'll be fine, go for it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lpasq:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] k.babymamma:
I have been having a lot of problems with my new honey, namely in the signal department! I went through a whole thing with it right after activation...it worked, then didn't, then did...etc. A chat session, phone call, & 2 trip to the actual store (all in 1 day!) resulted in them doing a factory reset and sending me on my looney way. It seemed to have helped, for about a day and a half. Now it is dropping signal again! It seems to do so, sometimes, when I have the wifi on. But then sometimes not (I'm not sure if wifi is culprit or coincidence.)

The ATT store employees said I may have changed a setting (I'm sure I didn't as I don't know of any setting that would even cause that!) and also "explained" my signal will naturally fluctuate...(They think I am an idiot, obviously and of course the phone was working fine when I was there...duh!) They also gave me a new sim card.

I *really* want to love this phone! But I'm finding it frustratingly undependable. Texts won't send when I need them to. I'm not getting them either, always. Voice is hit or miss when it drops (sometimes it works, sometimes not.) I have ALSO noticed the signal is not as strong as my old beloved Cappy. That thing was a horse (and I'm thinking of going back to it if this new one doesn't wise up!) Seriously, $300 bucks for a brand new phone & it can't keep a proper signal?

Is it the radio? Is it the software (still 100% stock, unrooted)? Should I make them give me a new one? What if it doesn't work, either? Flashing it to fix the issue is fine for me, but I've been holding out for multi-view before I get flash-crazy. lol Not to mention I may have to return it so better to not mess with it [yet]. I'm very frustrated & tired of getting looked upon like I'm the typical woman idiot who is not as smart as her new smartphone!!! I am NOT imagining it!!! :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] inspectagadget:
I would definitely take it back and make them give you a new one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] cjsspape:
Sounds like your antennae is shorting out or something like it wasn't soldered properly or the cable isn't secure. Would explain why WiFi affects it. I'd go there and demand a replacement and if they don't wanna budge your within 30 day no questions return. Then go to a diff store and get a new one. I really don't see it being a software issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] k.babymamma:
Is it possible that whatever the problem was, it miraculously resolved itself? I had it drop signal two more times since this post, then nothing since. It's been working perfectly. I hate to keep it if it might arise again but I hate to return it if it was some weird fluke thing.

This may or may not be related to the above problem: has anyone noticed their reception is not as good as on a previous device? I had a Cappy and it always got great signal. I noticed this one is not as strong in the same places I previously visited with my old phone. Although admittedly, it seems to be improving. Does that even make sense or is even possible? Just like me, my phone has to be the goofball of the bunch!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] cjsspape:
Haha I'm glad its working better but I still think it may be hardware related. I get better signal now with this device then my sIII or my note before it. Have ya done anything to your phone at all? Root mod etc?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] k.babymamma:
Nope. I've done nothing because I'm having this returning debate. lol I'm itching to though!

This is classic "my car doesn't work so take it to the garage then it works fine and they will make fun of you" If I do return it what do I say? It is documented about my "troubles" as per the ATT phone rep. Though if I can't reproduce the problem they're just going to send me on my way, I'm afraid.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] cjsspape:
With enough "negotiating" they'll take it back haha. Plus are you still within your no ask return window? Just explain how its sporatic but annoying to the point its not functional for reliable use and they should do something within their power to help ya out
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] UserNamer:
You spent enough money on the device, you should be absolutely happy with it, not apprehensive. If you wait past the return date, it's going to sit in the pit of your stomach for 20 months and ruin your enjoyment of it until you can upgrade again. Not worth it. Smile your brightest smile, walk into the store, very nicely tell them that you've had multiple issues and the AT&T phone reps said to go in and ask for an exchange. That's it. They're going to count on you being intimidated and going away. Smile, be nice, and don't be intimidated.

If they say you have to reproduce the problem, invite them to spend the day with you. ;) The Note 2 is amazing and you shouldn't settle if you believe your hardware is having problems.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] k.babymamma:
Yes. I have decided to take it in later today, as my 14 days is up on Friday. I hope they have stock of them. Anyhow...I have another question. If a phone is sitting still with no movement (and the weather is good, lol) will there be variations in signal strength? I get 3 bars with 4G showing, then it drops to one tiny bar. Sometimes the 4G disappears then reappears. The it will go back up to 4 bars. All in the course 5 minutes! I do realize signal will vary with movement but will it if your phone is just sitting there?

I am trying to experiment a little. I just realized/remembered that I had (uneventfully) dropped my phone (not hard, in-case) about the same time as my dropped signal problem pretty much resolved itself. So then I was like, hmm, maybe there IS something loose inside. I've tried gently shaking/jarring it here on my desk, coincidentally with the bars dropping back to just 1 as a result. But then again it may be coincidental as they are seeming to waiver A LOT. I just wondered if it is normal.

I never really stared at my old phone (Galaxy1) here at my desk but I'm almost positive it always had more than 1 bar at this same location and I never noticed it waiver like this one. But like I said I never had to make myself stare at it to check, either! lol Just wondering if someone knows a little more about cellphone signal 101 than me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dstech:
I have the issue of no 4G HSPA+ but I can get a strong LTE signal when in an LTE reception area. I'm wondering if you are in an LTE area and can get LTE? Where are you located?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kkl0wn:
I have noticed problems with my GN2 as well. Mine shows I have signal but my data stalls or doesn't seem to work as it should. I'm in an area where there shouldn't be any problems. Only seems to happen in non LTE areas. Whenever I have LTE signal this thing is blazing fast.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] k.babymamma:
Update: Took the phone in. Basically, they had never heard of the issue with this phone. But...I walked away with a replacement. So far so good though I've had it only a few hours. The girl was very nice & explained even though I was borderline limit she would take care of me. I told her I received it Fri the 9th but she said they were basing the 14 days on the 7th! I said I didn't physically have it till the 9th! Jeeze. Moot point since she was going to take care of it anyhow but it just concerned me how (corporate) att could chop 2 days of my in-store return time!

So no, I'm not in LTE land, unfortunately. 3g H+ & E only though I can't complain about the coverage or speed. Good enough for me 4 sure.

The signal bars waivered quite a bit even while in the store. They said while some fluctuation is normal it shouldn't be as much as it was doing especially with the close proximity of the tower & good weather and especially while just sitting on the counter.

I downloaded the free app "No Signal Alert" from the Play Store. In just a few hours it recorded lost signal 4 times! (In a very good coverage area) [my first phone b4 the exchange] Consider using it if you want to see if you are losing signal like I was. Handy app!

Hopefully this is a good one. I know it sounds goofy but this phone seems to even move faster than the other. Weird. It will be interesting to hear if anyone else is having this problem. Maybe there was a bad batch of them or something? Like the Nexus I read about & their signal problems.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] cjsspape:
Haha im glad that they helped ya! No its not goofy or silly to think that one phones faster then another because no two phones are alike. The silicone chips are very different and performance can very greatly. I had an s3 that wouldnt take custom kernels to save its life but I got it replaced after a two year old and a toilet incident haha and that one took even the most abusive settings in stride!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] williamsjscott:
I have a similar situation with mine. LTE will be working fine but then I notice that once I connect to my home wifi and then either leave my wifi range or turn off wifi the LTE icon will show in the status bar and it will show that it's sending and receiving data but Web pages will stall and never load, Play Store will timeout, and SpeedTest.net will start up but the needle will freeze about 1/8 of the way up indefinitely. I've toggled data at this point but it never fixes it, I have to restart the phone at which point LTE works perfectly but once I get back on my wifi the cycle will repeat, this has happened reliably for about the past week.

Do you all think I have a defective radio or am I missing something? I'm still within my return Window and will probably swap it Friday.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] cjsspape:
Yea my wifi lte transfer is always spot on so something may be wrong
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kkl0wn:
Sounds very similar to how mine is acting. I'm wondering if it is the ATT smart WiFi app causing the problem. Shows data incoming and outgoing but stalls.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] williamsjscott:
That's exactly how it's acting for me. I just now disabled the AT&T Smart WiFi app and after a quick restart and toggle test there was no problems, but I'm not sure if the problem will only pop up after I've been on wifi for a while. I'm going to see if it keeps doing it tomorrow.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] williamsjscott:
Disabling Smart WiFi appeared to fix the problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dstech:
What I noticed today is that when this same issue happens, with 4G icon and wifi icon both active, it occurs after I manually check for a firmware update within the system settings. The 4G icon doesn't go away until I reset the phone.

Also I manually deleted the all the AT&T boat ware apps before this was happening so the smart wifi app is not causing this for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] williamsjscott:
Weird, if you get the issue and don't have the Smart WiFi app then it must be something else and it was coincidence that it worked normal for me today. I've only checked for firmware once (when I first got my phone) so it must be something else causing it. I'm hoping the multi view firmware will also have a fix for it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] williamsjscott:
Update: I had my phone replaced three days ago due to another issue (there was a bulge in the chrome ring from the factory) and ever since I've had no trouble with the wifi to LTE switch. Also I'm no longer getting hover clicks from my stylus.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dstech:
I do have the messaging app installed from AT&T. It looks like this could also be messing with the radio. The only thing I noticed today was that the 4G LTE icon was active along with the wifi icon and when I opened the messaging app the 4G icon went away. Not sure what to make of that.
[Nexus 7 General] gokart2:
One super easy way to go to 4.2 from 4.1.2, IMO. This keeps root and current recovery (TWRP). I did it last night. No adb, no PC, all done on device.

I had no issues doing this, but....if you do it's not my fault. You decided to to do it to your device...not me. I doubt you'll have an issue if you follow this to the "T". But by doing this, you agree that I am not responsible for any problems you may have.

1. Download the update via OTA or HERE

2.

Must have TWRP recovery!

May work on CWM, but I haven't tested it and don't know if it will.

3. If you have flashed a kernel, done the 720p camera mod, altered the build.prop, etc.... you will get an error when trying to flash. I managed to copy most files from a stock rom to get rid of most errors. But the last error was a partition error which I was not to sure how to fix. Best and easiest way is to backup apps with Titanium Backup, then backup the whole sha-bang in recovery. Then download and flash THIS. Make sure you check the root in Aroma....believe it's checked by default.

4.Set it up, then re-install apps with Titanium Backup.

DO NOT DELETE, MOD, OR FLASH ANYTHING ELSE!

5. Download and use THIS. You should show "Device rooted", "Root permission granted", and "/system supports root protection" checked.

****Images below are generic from Google Images, may look different on your device****

Click the "Protect root" button, then "Protected su copy available" should be checked. All boxes now should be checked.

6. Boot into TWRP. Flash the update. (If you did the OTA download and cannot find it, it's in the /cache file. You may need to check mount system in TWRP to access it. You will need to mount system later anyway.)

7. It should flash without any issues if you followed the directions so far.

8.

DO NOT REBOOT! STAY IN RECOVERY OR YOU'LL LOSE CUSTOM RECOVERY (TWRP)

9.Make sure system is mounted. Then go to Advanced>File Manager. Go to /system/recovery-from-boot.p and delete or rename the file (recovery-from-boot.p.bak).

10. Reboot to system. Then go back to Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper and click "Restore root".

11. You should be good to go. Doing everything mentioned updated me from 4.1.2 to 4.2, kept root and TWRP.

12. If it worked, and it should have.....please hit the thanks button.:good:

Ya know.. If you're going to try to help new people it's best that you don't insult them as part of your introduction

It's quite ironic the same people you called noobs and clueless you are also expecting them to reward you back.. You think people here have Stockholm syndrome or something?
[Nexus 7 General] gokart2:

[Nexus 7 General] styckx:
I understand.. I just try to help out and be nice to the new people who are legit struggling. We've all been there and it can be pretty confusing.. Now, don't get me wrong there are also new folks who use it as an excuse to be lazy and not actually do anything.. Those types are hard to nail down though. :)
[Nexus 7 General] gokart2:
Having issues myself.....try this for the OTA update. Haven't checked, but should be like an 80mb file IIRC.

You can call me whatever you want if you're going to post stuff like this that works. :good: Thanks. I used CWM Recovery and it worked fine. I backed everything up, but didn't lose anything. I was Rooted and Unlocked. I was stock except I added beat audio and this resolved my problem.

I just flashed one of the rooted stock 4.2 Roms. Took a few minutes to download, reboot to recovery, complete wipe, and install. Took a couple of minutes to do the setup, restore apps with titanium.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Zorachus:
I am in need of a new phone, looking to switch to pre-paid Straight Talk, or possibly ATT contract, and say F. you Verizon.

With the Nexus 4 M.I.A. and not being back for sale for another 3 weeks, I am tempted to just say F. waiting for it, and get the Note II instead. Thing is, I have owned all three Nexus phones, I like the Nexus line, but the Note II does look extremely tempting :)

Or go on Cragslist and pay a premium for a new Nexus 4, but that rubs me the wrong way, paying $150 more for it, than I should be able to buy it directly from Google. But I think LG screwed up big, didn't calculate how many Nexus 4's would sell, and only had a small amount ready at launch. I am curious to see how it goes next month, I bet the same thing, back on sale in the Play store, and sold out immediately.

Note II ? Wait for the Nexus 4 stock to replenish, but afraid it will sell out immediately right away again ? Or Craigslist Nexus 4 ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] auto_freak:
I would definitely look at the note 2. Nexus 4 should be a hot seller but its all for that price. Android phones shouldnt be this expensive as the note2 but this is probably the only phone I'd pay this much money for.

Never been so happy with a device like this before. So snappy and yet so so many features. The size takes some time to get used to. I just found out there is a black/grey quadcore s3 lte model being sold in Hongkong which is definitely more to my liking than this giant device. If you have good lte coverage then forget aboutthe nexus 4.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] adidas007:
Go for the note 2 lol, it will reduce some nexus fans and hopefully the phone will last longer on the play store lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] powerwagon:
You are in the exact same spot I was in... I actually had one on order and 4 days later got a "you are on backorder" email, so I canceled the stupid thing and got the n2.

You will fall in love with this screen... I promise you.
