[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crypt0kiddie:
I have both a Sprint Epic 4G Touch and an ATT Galaxy S3.

I have had Sprint for 12 years, it's my main number. My ATT line is newer and had a newer number that I honestly don't use much.

What I would like to do is port my Sprint number to my Google Voice account so I can use it on both phones. I was all set to do this when I was told that porting my Sprint number to GV will cause my Sprint account/line to cancel automatically and that I will have to call them and open a new line of service etc etc.

UMMMMMMM? Seriously? I can't just port it and get them to give me a new number?

Someone else thought I might be able to call them and request a second number for my line, then port the old one and it would just kick over to the new number Sprint gives me and not kill my line of service.

Has anyone done this before? Help?! =)

Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mynaga:
Sprint has gvoice integration where it can have your sprint number associated with your google account of choosing and have it work on your cellphone, just log into voice.google.com and get started there. If you decide you dont like it for any reason you can just hit the undo button on the page and it will go back to normal. EDIT: also this costs nothing you can add or subtract your sprint # as many times as you want. just go to voice.google.com or download the google voice app on you phone to get started, goodluck have fun
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crypt0kiddie:
Yea I know how that works but I want to have my Sprint number ported to my GV account so it has no attachment to ANY carrier.

I want to be able to use my Sprint number on ANY cellphone I might ever have in the future.

Sounds like I'm going to have to cancel my Sprint account to do what I want to do. So if I walk away from Sprint, port my number over and let it cancel my account and get hit a ETF fee, will that fee be the FULL ETF fee or based on how long I have left on my contract? I have 11 months left on my Sprint contract.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ma$etas:
If you do what Mynaga said to do you should be able to do this. When you download the Gvoice app on your phone you would be able to select what call you want google voice to handle on your phone like: use gv for all calls, or only international ones etc.. so if you select google voice to handle all calls on both your epic and on your ATT phone then you would always be using that same number . ..

You say you dont want to cancel your Sprint line and you want to be able to use this number on any cellphone you ever have in the future well if you upgrade to another phone with Sprint then your number gets swapped to that phone and just install google voice and set it up the same way and your good to go.... hope this helps.
[HTC EVO 3D] DarK_MischieF:
Hello, I've been helping my friend install a custom ROM on his Virgin Mobile Evo 3D and have been running into roadblock after roadblock. Did a good amount of reading and searching and want to make sure I'm going in the right direction.

First some important numbers:

HBoot: 1.57

Build #: 1.13.652.2_R2 CL372137

S-On

Using HTCDev we were able to successfully unlock the bootloader and installed 4Ext Recovery RC5 (TWRP 2.3.1 / 1.1.1 did not work).

Using 4Ext Recovery we enabled SmartFlash (through Tools menu) and attempted to install various ROMs (Paranoid Android 2.99 (4.1.2), Unofficial AOKP v3.2 (4.1.2)) without success. The ROMs install, but bootloops on the HTC logo.

I have read that S-Off is the preferred method as it maximizes compatibility and convenience. So following this guide, we are going to run the RUU to try again.

Can anyone who's been down this road give us some tips? I thought we were homefree after we got the recovery installed, but I guess there's still more work to be done.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Your problem with the AOSP based ROM's is that you need to downgrade your bootloader to something below 1.57 and need S-OFF to do that. Once you have achieved S-OFF and downgraded the hboot you should be fine.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] Tymnus:
Thanks ramjet for the tip. Any recommended link to instructions for downgrading to 1.50?

I am currently running:

JuopunutBear

Shooter XC SHIP S-OFF RL

HBOOT - 1.57.5757

Thanks,

Tymnus :)
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Here's a post that should help. The hboot files linked from that guide will work on the Evo 3D and the Evo V 4G.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] Tymnus:
Perfect. I was able to downgrade to 1.50 and then install the Paranoid ROM. Now to figure out why it won't get past the boot screen! It's stayed there for over 10 minutes.

Onward!

Tymnus
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Did you "format all partitions except SD card" in 4EXT right before flashing the ROM? That works for most users.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] DarK_MischieF:
Thank you for the reply, that is what I surmised- even though I read the custom ROMs' OP for mention of HBOOT (most of the time it was claimed that 1.58 is incompatible, and/or 1.50 or below is needed).

1.57 + S-Off seems to be a difficult combination, per your guide the best way to achieve this is with the wire trick? You have a very good guide, definitely appreciate all the time and effort you've put in.
[HTC EVO 3D] Tymnus:
Ramjet, actually, I went in and wiped to factory settings after installing the Paranoid ROM. Then in booted just fine. However... the Google Apps packet is really flakey. Off to hunt for answers about why there are so many FC issues. I may just switch back to the ROM that you created. That was much more dependable! Thank you for your support!!!

[Samsung Captivate Glide] jevan24:
Worked on dmans stock rooted rom with lite kernel 1.1.1.....but flashing in clockwork recovery didn't work had to install manually into system media. So no sound for me :(
[Samsung Captivate Glide] dbrannon79:
I think lite kernel 1.1.1 doesn't have sound enabled! I have a copy of 1.1 with sound working I can post here when I get off work in the morning! As for the zip. I think I may have gotten something wrong in the installer script! I'll look at it then too .. my apologies!

Aquethys, if you have time maybe you can see what's wrong!

Thanks.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Aquethys:
yeah if there's no sound you might have not put that in the updater-script. Have homework now so can't :|
[Samsung Captivate Glide] dbrannon79:
No prob, I'll look into it in the morning after work!
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Warren87:
Thanks for your contribution .
[Samsung Captivate Glide] dbrannon79:
ok folks, the op has been updated! the flash zip file works!

for some reason it was not flashing the actual animation file, only the sound was flashing! also found that this device has a different location for the animation file. "/system/media" the funny thing is when I checked my device it has always worked from "/data/local" after digging deeper into my file system, i found a "bootanimation.zip" located in "/system/media" that read "0kb" in size, it was some how redirecting it to pickup the file from the other location! after removing both files and placing in /system/media it worked! :scratchhead

try flashing with the new link in the 1st post! tested working on my glide!! :D
[Samsung Captivate Glide] jevan24:
Ok will try this when I get off work :). Keep up the good work. I am loving this bootani. Thanks for the find
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Laugher19:
Works super well. Boot time is under 30. Sec every time!!!!!
[Samsung Captivate Glide] thescot33:
Great boot ani! I am ruining cm10 kernel and sound isn't working? Is there anyway for me to turn it on if it's off? Cheers!
[Samsung Captivate Glide] dbrannon79:
The sound is enabled in the kernel, I'm not yet too savvy about decompiling the kernels yet. Still learning tho :D
[Samsung Captivate Glide] VinayS:
Not working for me..

Tried both of LiteKernel v1.1 and v1.1.1

PS- I am running a custom bootanimation from RomTollBox,

Maybe it is blocking something..
[Samsung Captivate Glide] dbrannon79:
It's possible, need to check where the bootanimation.zip is stored! I'm finding that sine roms are different!

With that kernel you need a powered usb hub. With official JB update, your phone can power almost anyting, even a 500gb portable hard drive work..
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] abe5:
I've been with the phone for almost a month now, and so far, I'm very satisfied with it. Hardware-wise, everything is fine. Software-wise... Hm... The awesome devs are here! And... And... Yep, things look good! :good:

What I propose is quite simple. Let us see how troublesome the myTouch 4G Slide can get.

Share your past and present here... ... No pressure! :D
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] MT4GS:
More than half a year with Mt4GS, and except for few quirks - no problems.

This is my very first smartphone ever that I am almost happy with everything over all, including the stock ROM, and so far I can't complain hardware either, really! :) (and I use only smartphones since 2005)

If not for the crappiest stock battery ever, that needed to be replaced immediately, it would be all good.

The main annoyance of the stock ROM was the constant asking to choose Navteq or Google Navigation, every time when I wanted to use map navigation, regardless of my selection of Google Navigation and checking it as default. It really pissed me off to the point that I decided to root the phone just to remove that pesky Navteq Navigator (or whatever it was called) and now it doesn't annoy me anymore :)

The only problem I had for a while was self-reboot every few days like a clock. But I know the problem came with one of the apps that I have been trying in the past. Simple reset to factory settings cured it.

Rooting allowed me to get rid of all the unwanted/useless (for me) apps, and I must admit now I am pretty much happy with this phone.

[General Questions and Answers] bhatti1209:
I have a S2 (GT-i9100).

I frequently switch between ROMs, the last rom i flashed was "[ROM][20 Nov][LSJ][4.1.2][V13.0] WanamLite Clean & Fast & Pure Stock Themed ".

The rom was good, fast and stable, but since it was draining the battery too fast, i decided to re-flash my daily driver (super-Nexus).

Unfortunately, when i tried to flash using CWM (phillz kernel), i got the "Status 7" error.

So, this is what i did: (offcourse i wiped cache/data/davlik cache)

1. Re-downlaoded "super-nexus" - That didnt help (the md5 was correct).

2. Downloaded another 4.1.2 "[ROM][23/11/12][JB/CM10&AOKP] Nostromo 1.5 [Tuning utils/TB] " - to my wonder i got the same error again

3. Then i did quite a bit of searching, found that, issue might be because of signature verification in CWM, when i toggled it i got "signature verification - enabled" - so i fig, it was disabled by deafult, i am yet to test by manually making it "disabled".

Could some1 please point me as to why after flashing with Phillz kernel for XXLSJ, m i getting this error, and why m i the only one getting it. I searched quite a lot, couldnt find anything :(

I am not a complete noob but m stuck here ;)

I am trying to flash a new rom (super-nexus)
[General Questions and Answers] crascendo:
I had the same problem. Flashing DorimanX:s kernel first will solve the problem. Remember, this kernel is not compatible with the XXLSJ rom so only reboot the recovery (Advanced - Reboot Recovery). If the reboot freezes, just shut down the phone by long-pressing the power button and boot into recovery by holding Volume Up + Power.

When I try to switch themes I get this error; however, I only get it sometimes. How do I fix it? I don't think it's theme specific because it gives me the error for about 5 different themes, but at other times it allows me to change themes. I don't get it

Try changing to system theme then back to the theme you wanted followed by a reboot.

ok so i finally bought an S3. i updated the software today from tmobile. but the update gave me 2 problems:

1 - the dialing rules dont work. for example, i call a chat line. after the number is dialed, the dialing rule dials a pause and 3 numbers automatically. this works. but when i try to dial additional keys manually, the dialpad doesnt work. this never happened in the previous version. how can i fix this?

2 - the battery drains like craxy. how can i revert back to the previous version?

by the way, is this the jelly bean update from tmobile for the S3?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Pennycake:
It might help people help you to know what update this was ... ??

Look in your phone settings and see what you're running ?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rookiegenius:
directly from Tmo it only can be Jelly Bean. at the moment.

issues after updates on android is familiar. Factory reset your phone is the quickest way to fix it.

Turn off Google Now. My phone's battery goes back to normal now.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Pennycake:
They weren't sure if it was JB, so I was a bit worried for them. :eek:

I wanted to be able to use Google Now's location features, and having set it to mobile data only (no GPS), it hasn't put a significant drain on the battery and I'm pleased with the results.

@OP, I was having horrible battery drain after the update, myself, but after messing with the settings and waiting a few days it's back to normal. Turn off Google Now if you don't want it and give it a few days - I don't know the technology behind it, but giving it a few days did seem to do the trick like others had said in the big battery life thread.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] xenin:
the new update 1s: 4.1.1. i liked my previous firmware version much better.

but if i factory reset my phone, i lose all my settings and apps.. and where exaclty do i turn off Google Now? i cant find it

hi pennycake. but where do i find Google Now? i dont see it anywhere in the settings.

also, i found this link about how to revert back to a previous firumware.. please let me know what you think:

androidromupdate.com/2012/08/25/restore-back-t-mobile-samsung-galaxy-s3-sgh-t999-back-to-original-ics-4-0-4-t999uvalh2-stock-firmware/
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Pennycake:
If you go in the app drawer and find the "Google" icon, that will take you to it. You can also change the location preferences in "settings".

Personally, I wouldn't bother reverting unless there's something other than battery life that's really bothering you. Jelly Bean didn't have much in the way of big cosmetic changes and by turning off the location tracking, battery life should be the same as it was before. I don't think the average user will notice much of a difference.

See if the factory reset fixes the glitches you're having - when flashing a ROM (like the older firmware), you would want to do that anyway - it's possible to brick your phone flashing ROMs - not to scare you, but you might end up starting from a wipe anyway, if that doesn't go as planned.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] xenin:
hi pennycake. just to let you know, theres nothing worse that bothers someone than poor batt life. and other than that issue i got, i'm also having the dialing rules issue which doesnt let me dial extra digits manually after the dialing rule completes. this is very annoying.

i understand the risk in reverting back to the previous firmware. its just that if factory resetting doesnt work, i got to go back to the last fw. what i dont understand is why samsung or tmo would allow an update that disabled needed features.. and above all, mess up the batt life?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Pennycake:
Trust me, I was pretty frustrated when I was losing 3% an hour on standby - and in use, I was just watching the battery go down another percent every time I glanced at it!

It's such a change from what many

People are used to that it ought to be better explained.

As for the dialer issues, I'm not sure if that is an issue with jelly Bean itself or not.

With every phone being a little different, sometimes things they don't expect can go wrong.

Hopefully you will get it sorted and be back to enjoying your phone soon!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] xenin:
yeah thanks penny.. like i said, if resetting doesnt work, i'll go back to ICS fw. thanks.

The only two companies to produce anything amazing that I have tested so far would have to be HTC and Motorola. Granite, Motorola doesn't quite have the whole keyboard phone thing down, their Droid X2 and Razr devices are pretty solid. HTC are generally a number 1 producer. If I had to pick a third place operative, it would have to be Samsung. Once they got off their a**es and actually figured out how to design a phone, their Galaxy line seems pretty solid.

Ok...I've searched all over the internet and these forums and can't find an answer to my problem so here it goes:

I recently purchased the TF300T pre-owned. I had no idea if the device was rooted or not, but assumed not. I assume correctly so, as I do with all my Android devices, I proceed to look up the root method.

This device has never been able to boot into any type of recovery, stock or otherwise. I get the "Android on his back with the red triangle" error and holding the power button only reboots the device.

So far I have used fastboot to flash CWM recovery and have unlocked the bootloader. (I know the device is unlocked because it tells me so)

After all this, I proceed to enter CWM to root my device and the same error pops up. What am I doing wrong? How do I fix this? And is there any hope for me to root this device from this point?

I appreciate any input given or being directed to the correct answer.

Thanks

P.S. BTW....I did do the JB OTA Update right after I first got it and I did flash a JB Recovery Version....just so you know.

[A] Boot to Recovery

hi JDCrowell99! It is possible that your installation of CWM may be causing you issues. I too had unlocked the bootloader after updating to JB OTA stock ROM. I used fastboot to install CWM. I continually got invalid signature failures whenever I tried to flash a new ROM (Stock or modified). I finally ran across a thread that stated the invalid signature problem appears on an occasion with CWM and to install TWRP. I did so using the instructions in thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1672108

After upgrading to TWRP I can now flash ROMs without getting an invalid signature error.

Hope that helps and good luck!
