[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Papichulo06:
I can confirm this works. Just wanted to add on a few things that I had to figure out on my own, though. This guide was nice but it made things a little confusing at times.

HOW I DID IT:

Install APN Backup & Restore from the playstore.

Convert APN Backup & Restore to a system app by downloading /system/app mover from the playstore.

Open /system/app mover and click "APN Backup & Restore". Click YES when it asks you to move to /system/app/. Reboot phone.

Open up APN Backup & Restore. Go to menu and click Disable ICS Check. Click Backup APNs and enter name or press OK.

Download the APN config (right click save as) and save it to the folder "ApnBackupRestore" found on your sdcard0 (phone storage).

Open back up APN Backup & Restore and click Delete APNS.

Click Restore APNS and select "sprint-mms-fixed-apns.xml".

Reboot phone.

Done. Try it out.

If this doesn't working out for you then try disabling the auto retrieve feature found in settings so you can manually retrieve your pictures when you're in a good area.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] memekmek:
nice, im slowly working up the confidence to go back! i didn't like the screen tears in that rom though :/ paranoid android had screen tear issues too.

After flashing a non sense rom...i inevitably always return back to sense..even though sense to me is boring and clunky. and i hate the lock screen.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
Sorry to quote such a long post, but.....can't all this be done just manually thru root explorer.

Also, isn't the 'delete all APNs' step a bit,..risky or bad.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] saboture:
The screen tears are annoying, however I despise sense ROMs. Contact picture size is pitiful, crap multi tasker pane, horrible lock screen etc.. I can deal with some screen tears haha.

I don't see how there would be a risk in deleting your apns. If you back them up as instructed you can restore them at another point in time. All that happens is you lose internet for a few seconds while you're making the swap .
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ravynmagi:
I ran Speedtest on my Nexus 4 over my local wifi network and saw something surprising. I am getting only about 6Mbps download speeds. I'm on a 40Mbps Internet connection. My Galaxy Nexus gets 30Mbps on the same wifi network using the same Speedtest server.

Maybe not coincidentally my T-Mobile HSPA+ speeds also seem to cap around 6Mbps usually.

I'm scratching my head, this can't be normal, right?

Galaxy Nexus on the left, Nexus 4 on the right.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] undercover:
Play with your router settings. Mine goes to almost 30mbps on 60mbps connection.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mnemoch:
But why would the Galaxy Nexus work properly without tweaking the router?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattSkeet:
Did you test the speed on both devices at the same time? Or does that happen separately as well
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ravynmagi:
That photo was me running the Speedtest simultaneously. But I tested both phones multiple times individually as well with the same results.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tenji7:
Why does the speedtest app show fullscreen on the nexus, but on the nexus 4 it not?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XupModz:
Because the screen resolution is really high and the app can't accommodate it
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ravynmagi:
I was skeptical about the issue being my router, it's a nice ASUS RT-N66U router. And I have an iPad 3, Kindle Fire HD, and Galaxy Nexus all getting 30 to 35Mbps results from speedtest tonight, while only the Nexus 4 seems to be struggling around 6Mbps.

But I logged into the router and looked around at wifi settings that might be affecting this.

The router is set to "N only" mode, because I have no 802.11g or lesser devices. I'm using both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands and have issues with both. 2.4GHz is on channel 1, which is the least crowded in my neighborhood.

I looked at this setting called "Channel bandwidth". I have mine set to 40MHz for optimal performance. But it has a note that I should set this to 20Mhz if there are stability issues. I set the channel bandwidth down to 20Mhz and now I'm getting almost 35Mbps on my Nexus 4. I set it back to 40Mhz and now my Nexus 4 is back to 6Mbps. Back again to 20MHz, and back to 35Mbps. It's definitely the channel bandwidth.

Not sure why the Nexus 4 has such a problem with 40Mhz channel bandwidth when nothing else has an issue with it. However 20Mhz doesn't seem to be hurting my other devices performance. So issue solved.

Good call.

someone can help me???
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Brooklynsour:
I bought my s3 on friday had my mom pick it up from best buy. this morning i went to shower and left the phone on the shelf playing music at least 6+ inches away from the edge of the shelf which over looks the toilet, some how while shampooing my hair the phone fell into the toilet...... :crying:i took it out dried it blew dry it a bit and then put it in rice as few suggested and read online..... what im asking is there anything i can do/say to ATT/Samsung/Best buy to get another one w/out having to pay 200 dollar deductible for ATT insurance? i would not care about paying up too 100 too get another one but i realize its highly unlikely. the phone is not even a week old and pray a miracle can happen.... any answer would be greatly appreciated...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DarthDerron:
Yeah, the countless number of people who've dropped their phone into the toilet. You could ask bestbuy but I doubt they will refund you/replace since this is an issue you brought upon yourself.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Brooklynsour:
i didnt drop it in there, the phone vibed itself to the edge i guess from the music being loud and phone not having the slightest bit of friction?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] peneoark:
Phone shouldn't be in the bathroom while showering. High humidity isn't the best thing for electronics.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Brooklynsour:
lol very true but not too helpful the phone works fine besides the speaker...... please some advice i begggggg
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] thyroidgland:
Sorry to say it man but you may be out of luck. Water damage is really tough to talk your way out of, even if the phone vibrated itself into the toilet, you still set it there.

Maybe find someone who can do speaker repairs or else you may just have to deal with whatever fee it is.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Medlock87:
I'd consider myself lucky that it still works at all, minus the speaker. Yeah, it's an important feature but with water damage...it's usually a non-working device with a $200 price tag to fix.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] badler6545:
Yeah that's absolutely a bit of a tough position. Definitely not the best place for a phone, but you do have options. You could call AT&T and beg for mercy, threaten to switch, call retention, or do something like that though. I would say first just try to win over the sympathy of someone working there. They're people too and a lot of people have had toilet-phone related incidents haha.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] king200:
I believe that you have a certain number of days with Best Buy to buy the protection plan. I also don't know how rigorously they test it to return withing their 14 day return policy. I might try a couple of stores if I didn't meet with success. With iPhones they put them into baggies with rice.

Good luck.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Brooklynsour:
after testing it yeserday i put it back in rice cuz there was some moisture left on the front cam.... today its all gone and the phone works pretty fine, but like i stated before everything but the speaker..... i spoke with the insurance company for ATT with is asurian and they told me 200$ deductible best buy told me im basically screwed and that i can try and go to the best buy store and try and beg them to let me either exchange it or kick rocks....i wish i can pay another 50 for another phone.... they should have some policy for phone under 7/14 days old and if it works should be able to exchange for a newer one.... FML, if phone had a bit more friction, it dove into the water on its own =( thanks for suggestions ^
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] peneoark:
This actually made me laugh. Please don't try to play the victim here. This was 100% your fault. Don't blame the phone for not having enough friction.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Brooklynsour:
lol i didnt drop it in the toilet it vibed in there my fault was bringing in the bathroom but all the other 100+ times i brought my old skyrocket in the bathroom and set in the same place playing music it never moved or anything and the s3 on the first time i bring it to play music it slides of the shelf is pretty unexpected especially when im washing the shampoo out my hair.....
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] amzi:
My friend's iphone had water damage and geeksquad fixed it for free with a warranty. Im not sure how much the warranty is but im guessing its way cheaper than 200 dollars lol. Some dude dropped his s3 in poop water and putting it in rice worked perfectly maybe the poop was the charm xD

R.I.P

Your Phone's speakers
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Brooklynsour:
yea its working now after the rice but im gonna take it to best buy either tomorrow or friday and pray i leave with a positive mood and smiley face lol.... the phone should have a 30 day warranty from best buy and like 90 days or w/e it is from samsung but the lady from samsung told me that after water damage the warranty is basically gone and if the technician see a problem with the motherboard it will cost alot of money.... =(
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] peneoark:
I agree with Samsung stance on that. By no means was your phone defective.

Just rooted my new SGS3 using New Root Method Released for Verizon’s Galaxy S3, No Odin Required. i did the data & kelvic wipe then install Clean Rom 5.0. All progressed without a hitch. Even backed up with CWM prior to flash.

I rebooted into the new rom and got this: System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless... rebooted several time with same result.

What can I do now? Thanks for your help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tekrhino:
Just a wild guess, but me thinks your bootloader is still locked! But I'm not sure that will even apply because I rooted my device before unlocking the bootloader. But I rooted my device via ODIN first.

You can try EZ-Unlock via the Market. The GUI is still very buggy and will show the status as unknown but the internal workings of the app works good.

You got nothin to loose in trying. Go back to stock and give it another whirl after you've unlocked the bootloader.

Of that fails then I would suggest using the tried and true method..ODIN.

G'luck!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ddurandSGS3:
yup your bootloader is still locked

check the downloads thread and use version 1.2.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kintwofan:
That means your boatloader is locked. You now must Odin back to stock and start over. Droid style has a guide stickied in the development thread. Follow section 6 of it.

Next time use ez unlock version 1.2 to unlock you boatloader.

You have to get into DOWNLOAD MODE.. Power+ Volume Down+ Home key at the same time after a fresh battery pull.

Do a search on the Development forum to set up Odin on your PC.

Hi, I have a Verizon S3 flashed to Boost Mobile. I tried to gain root by flashing a stock rooted Rom and messed up the flash. I had to take it back to be flashed again ￼ Now I'm more cautious before hand. I should have backed it up before attempting it, I know I know lol can anyone shed some light on how to update a flashed phone as well as how to root it. I could really use the help ￼

Also after I messed up the boost flash I paniced and flashed a sprint kernel hoping this would fix the problem. Since then anything that I've tried to view including taking camera shots and web browsing if done in landscape mode will be upside down, any remedy for this problem? I know now... root first, flash later. ￼
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] voodoomanx:
Sprint kernel is causing the inversion. Flash a vzw kernel. Read first flash later.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shadricksimms:
Who ever did your flash might not done it right cause ya not supposed to lose a flash like that unless he didn't do things right. I can factory reset mine and I wont loose flash
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Alex0826:
Also how can I correct The ID issue , what I mean is my s3 shows up as being a Sprint version I did wind up flashing a Verizon kernel and it did correct the problem with inversion, put a big smile on my face. Now I want to update this phone to the latest 4.1 .2 is there anything I have to be worried about possibly losing the flash? I did manage to gain root access but for some reason wireless tethering can't be seen by other devices & it can't create ad hoc so basically wireless tethering doesn't work. I've tried several wireless tethering apps but none of them work properly. I've also tried to use the latest jelly bean modem update with twrp but it never goes through or complete I think it says something about incorrect version, or error 7? or something like that.

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] np231:
Does anyone know how to change the carrier name that is displayed on the lock screen and notification pulldown?

I have tried the method here, but it doesn't seem to work.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] robg2008:
Only way I know is with a custom ROM.

AOKP has the option to change the carrier text.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Deleted member 4352545:
This is only for branded phones. (Verizon etc.)

What you can do is to decompile your framework-res and delete the line, which contains id/carrier from the keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml, which is located in the layout folder. But this will just remove the label.^^
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] krhainos:
The Carrier name is read off of the SIM, so you'll have to change it inside the two places inside framework-res for your lock screen and notification drawer.

I believe the custom ROMs that allow for changing this replace all instances of the carrier name with a user-editable string/field that defaults to the system value(read from SIM card) when left null.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] PLDftmfw:
All,

I have used my GS3 for awhile now without issue. I'm abroad for the forseeable future, so I've only been using it for Wi-Fi calling and internet/apps. Regardless, Kies NEVER worked for me, and my computer never recognized the USB device. Up until recently, I've just used my iPod for music, so no problem.

Fast forward and my friend, who also has a GS3, tried to update my drivers and root/flash my phone so I can drag and drop files the way he does with his. I let him do this because I'm newb to this, and because he assured me he knew what he was doing as he'd done it to his and his girlfriend's phone.

As it turns out, he has an international version (he used ToolKit instead of QCom ToolKit) and he tried to root the wrong files to my phone. At first, I thought it was hard-bricked (which really puts me in a tough position since I won't be back in the States until January), but I don't think even his root attempt worked properly.

So where I'm at now:

The phone will not boot up. When I turn it on I get the Samsung Galaxy S III logo, but android never loads. The phone will charge via USB and the wall.

I can access recovery bootup

I can access download bootup (the ability to do the two above lead me to believe it isn't hardbricked, I read on these forums, if I can get to download bootup then it's probably fix-able)

I've combed the forums and the internet, in general, for a fix. I downloaded the factory restore settings from samsung-updates (sorry if I cannot plug this site, it's not intentional, simply to provide as much info as possible), but Odin always "FAIL"s when I attempt to apply it.

Additionally, I've attempted to recover via recovery bootup/reset, and then load the factory restore setting via Odin. This did load them, but the phone did not boot up.

QM ToolKit was acknowledging the phone, so I attempted to boot the correct files using ToolKit (the ALLINONE option) and this worked correctly, as expected via QM ToolKit. But still the phone would not boot up.

The phone sits at a black screen after the GSIII logo with the blue LED lit up.

Any tips or advice would be appreciated. I'm in quite a situation.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] EclipzeRemix:
sadly i have the same problem, this happened randomly and cant get my device to boot
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] chrisram88:
If you Odin tmo stock image tar and odin recognized your device and all went well then boot into stock recovery factory reset then reboot. It should boot up if all is well. When you plug to pc does your computer recognizes it?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] osbosb:
Provided your boot loader and download manager partitions are working(as it appears to be the case) you can get your phone back to a "working" state.

What I suspect happened is that at some point during the process of playing with it, your partition table got hosed and now android is borked. I would recommend re-partitioning it but I don't have enough info around me and available to give you instructions to do so. I'll do some digging and try to get back to you.
