[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaosfenix:
Please forgive the dumb question but I haven't had a phone with a Sim in years.

After botching a cut job with the straight talk sim to get it to fit, I went and got a micro sim straight from a tmo store.

**Can I call ST and have them activate this Sim on the ST network? Or is there actually something special about the ST Sim?**

I already have all the APN info for ST on the phone since the botched card still kinda functions. The tmo Sim is not linked to any account; They just pulled it out of a drawer and sold it to me.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ajfink:
No, need a ST SIM.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaosfenix:
Damn. OK, thanks!

Can you explain why not? What makes the difference between a Tmobile compatible ST sim and an actual Tmobile sim that can't be overcome with software mods?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshnichols189:
Well for one, no one mods the way a sim interacts with the phone.. Also Straight Talk sims supposedly get lower tower priority.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaosfenix:
Hmm. Fair enough.

As for the software mods, I guess I was referring more to setting up the access point info. Clearly I don't have much background with sim stuff, so I appreciate the info.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ajfink:
Nah, you can't mod the SIMs or anything. That's outside the scope of most people's technical ability.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mastermind278:
Just order a new one, use coupon code SIMSAVE and get the SIM card for free with a month of service purchased.

Might also want to get a microSIM cutter on Amazon it's like 3.90 with PRIME shipping.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaosfenix:
That's the boat I'm in. One of each is on order and will be here next week.

I was just hoping I could use the Tmo one and not worry about it (and not have wasted the cash).

Thanks again for humoring me guys!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clockcycle:
One main reason you can not use anything other than an actual ST SIM, is that your account is based on it's serial number.

Normally ST accounts are based on the serial number of the ST Phone, but since this is BYOD, they use the SIM instead.

You can try to open a ticket on ST facebook and convince the reps your SIM is faulty so they send you a replacement. Else you're gonna have to buy another one.

Hope that helps,

Hello All,

this is my first thread in the forum and i also new with android :laugh:

I've just got my new Samsung S3 device (GT-I9300) and i rooted it successfully using one of yours wonderful guides.

my current android OS is ICS 4.04 and i would like to update it to jelly bean.

I've heard that the most "clean" ROM belongs to Google and called "Vanilla" - is it right? :confused:

if so, where i can find jelly bean with that ROM? i've found jelly bean with "vanilla root box" ROM and i guess

that is not the same as Google.

Thank you so much for your help.

Assaf.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thenameistoms:
Try cyanogemmod ROM. its hands down the best. Most of the custom jelly bean ROMs are based on it.

Hey, I have had a Galaxy SII for a while now and use it as my main phone but just couldn't bring myself to sell my Sexy Nexy. So, it is still laying around, being used as an MP3 player during the rare occasions I actually go out to exercise. But besides that it is just collecting dust, which I hate. I was wondering if anyone else has been in this situation and thought of a creative way to still use their N1s.

I don't know have VOIP works but maybe something like using their nexus for a phone, or home phone even, only through wifi? Not sure if you have to have a SIM card in for that or not.

Or maybe something more creative? Just seeing what people have done out there.

Like you I use mine as an MP3 Player, but I keep it in my car and connect it to my stereo. I also cant bring myself to get rid of it, but Ive painted mine so nobody would buy it anyway (even though its a beautiful paint job)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aujbman:
I am doing the same thing. Also trying to figure out the easiest way to turn Wi-Fi tethering on when I get in the car so the N1 can connect to it and then I can use it for VOIP calls and texts as well as an mp3 player in the car.

It's still great as a spare. Like say when you're out on the beer and don't want to loose your newest love :D. Unless of course you like to show that one off :p
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickL0V3:
Yea mine doubles as a spare. whenever my gf breaks her phone I give her my Sensation and use my N1.

she never understands why I dont just give her the N1. Im just looking for any excuse to play with it again

Im considering selling my sensation and just using the N1 though. Sensation gets like 5 hours of light use, the N1 gets a day and a half of heavy
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 350Rocket:
Can we see a picture? I want to paint mine too. I used to have a Desire and I sanded the paint off and polished it, looked really cool that way.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickL0V3:
this is from the day I reassembled it. its looking a little dinged up these days, so Im going to be re-painting soon and Im looking for color suggestions.

I used metal/plastic adhering spray paint and a lot of wet sanding. The battery door isnt perfect but I got another one to try again with. The aluminum part was easy to sand down (dremel) but the plastic is just a little less forgiving so there are some places I bit a little too deep.

but I love it. I occasionally use it as my primary phone and it always turns heads
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 350Rocket:
That is pretty cool. I would like to do the same but with a different color. Unfortunately it's my only phone.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickL0V3:
Ye anot only is it my spare phone, I have 3 housings for it, so I can get one painted and ready while the N1 is still all put together.

Im actually working on a new one right now but Im not sure what colors I want
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 350Rocket:
Please post pictures of the repaint. I'm thinking once I have some extra money, buying a second housing and repainting it and having the local repair shop install it for me. I like the phone enough to hang onto it if I can make it a bit unique. Maybe I should wait until something breaks? AFAIK power button has never been replaced and so far works perfect, going on 3 years old this April. No signs of any other problems so far but who knows? I try to never use the USB port for charging to keep it from wearing out.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickL0V3:
Will do. Im trying something a little dfifferent this time so if it sucks I probably will re-paint again before posting so it may be a while. but if this doesnt look terrible I should be done with it soon
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 350Rocket:
I'm not into the bright colors a whole lot, I was considering flat black, or blue or red, but not sure yet. Maybe you could sell me one of your housings? :) If I try to attempt the work myself I will need to buy another phone to use for a few days while I work on it.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultima888:
I also want to use my N1 as MP3 player in my car. But I once used a SGS2 as MP3 in my car and the music quality is just so much better. Are there any ROM/Mod/Apps to enhance the music of my N1? Currently using Evervolv 4.2 for my N1(a great ROM btw).

And that's a very nice paint job there! Impressive!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sphinxcs898:
You could try HyperSense Nova, which has some impressive sound codecs:

CM ROMS have DSP Manager for sound effects too. You might wanna check those out. Try VJ's CM 10.1 (4.1.2)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 350Rocket:
The galaxy s2 has terrible audio quality for music compared to the nexus one and desire. The original galaxy had good sound quality when set up right with voodoo mods. DSP manager as well as power amp are good for sound quality. I use both.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] rickhuizinga:
The edge zooming gesture in the stock browser is driving me crazy. Its the 'feature' where the browser changes the display zoom when you scroll near the edge of the screen.

I normally don't use the stock browser, but it is used as the embedded browser in applications such as Flipboard, Pulse, etc.

Is there any way to disable this scroll to zoom gesture?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] boodies:
I don't think you can. I've personally think it's great and convenient. But i'd rather zoom in like Google Maps where you double tap anywhere on the screen and while holding down with your second tap slide your fingers up or down to zoom.

Ever since the tmobile 1900 mhz refarm, I've been getting extremely slow speeds on 3g in Alexandria, VA, one of the refarmed cities. I tried messing with "set preferred network type" and if I switch it to edge, I surprisingly get faster speeds than 3g, about 20kB/s compared to 5kB/s.

I used to get HSPA+ speeds of about 1000kB/s (or 7.8Mbps) in this exact same area, now I don't even get the H+ icon.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] keithross39:
I've found a way to play all our retro favourites from the Sega mega drive/genesis and Nintendo SNES era on our android phones.....

first you need "DroidEmu" from the play store, then you need to visit "emuparadise" http://www.emuparadise.me/ and download your game of choice. The games are downloaded in Zip format so they'll need to be extracted before DroidEmu will open them, but most of the files are sub 1mb, so won't take too long to download and extract. DroidEmu may ask you to allow download of extra files in order to play the game.....so far as I can tell, this is to be expected, and should be allowed..........enjoy :)

Edit......As well as playing Mega drive/Genesis and Nintendo SNES games, DroidEmu will also play games from NES, Gameboy Advance, Gameboy Colour and Gamegear consoles.... and as far as I can tell, the extra downloads I mentioned earlier, are "plugins" that allow this app to play games from all the above mentioned diverse consoles.....

Well its in early deveolpment so most games aren't working yet but people have reported that some games has worked but I haven't been able to get any of the ISOs to load and play yet on the W.

Normal .iso and .cso files should be able to run and also .pbp which is uses with the PSP's inbuilt PSX emulator. Maybe you got one which is .ccd which cannot run on FPse or any PSX emulator to be honest.

Have you downloaded any of the N64 game to try yet because they work on my phone no problem even when zipped.

My One S was having problems so I called T-mobile and they kindly sent me a new one. My sister's old phone broke can she use the one T-mobile sent me or even the one I am using now *the one with the issues*? Or will I get charged 500 something $?

I work for tmo, as long as you aren't required to return your defective handset then keep it.

If you are supposed to return it and you don't there's a hefty non return fee.
[HTC One S] Raphael17:
So for like a week or to if there is a return policy can she still use it with out getting charged? Quick replies REALLY appreciated
[HTC One S] beats4x:
The default time frame is a week to have it dropped off at UPS. She can use it in the mean time, but if you don't get it returned they will charge a non-return fee.
[HTC One S] Raphael17:
So to sum things up if there is no return fee TMO wont charge my sister even though she actually didnt buy the phone? They arent going to charge my line the MSRP of the phone?
[HTC One S] Troute:
If they didn't say send it back, or if they didn't supply a return bag or label then I would assume its yours to keep. Unusual for them not to want it back though, it's a lot of money to throw away.

Nope, but I would check with customer service. They usually want it back

Has anybody else tried the Motorola Elite Sliver bluetooth earpiece? I have tried two of the units with my AT&T S3 and with both the people I am talking to have complained about the low quality of the sound. It's loud enough. They say the sound is "fuzzy" and sounds like I am talking in a barrel. Also, there is a lot of background noise. I installed the MotoSpeak app and tried different background noise cancellation settings but that didn't help. I had a friend of mine try it with his iPhone 5 and the problem persisted. It is without a doubt the most comfortable earpiece I have ever worn. But, that's of little value if the other person can not understand me.

Thanks

retnuh
[Galaxy S III Accessories] 1Android:
I use it with my S3 and I like it. I haven't haany complaints about MINE, but two of my friends got them because I raved about it and they both sounded fuzzy. one of them returned it and the other still uses his. I love how minimal it is, but I sometimes miss my moto h710 I had. that thing was amazing and crystal clear.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] winbytrick:
I think I can help you with this since i was exhausted with this prob before.

You can connect the earpiece normally, yet before turn on bluetooth on your S3 do a few step below:

Access Motorola Elite sliver menu and turn off Wide band audio (option 5)

Then turn it off

Turn it on and access menu again. Then turn on Wide band audio

Turn on S3 bluetooth and let it connect to Motorola Sliver as normal

--> You are good to go, people now can hear you loud and crystal clear :victory:

Hope you also enjoy the earpiece as I do after fixing this prob
[Galaxy S III Accessories] retnuh:
Thanks windbytrick. People tell me that really made an improvement. Is this procedure required every time I take the earpiece out of the charger? Or, every time I turn the earpiece off? Thanks again.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] winbytrick:
this should be done everytime you take the earpiece out of the charger, i'd recommend you do it once in the morning and keep the connection between SLIVER and S3, then you dont have to worry for the rest of the day. It wont be a prob for both S3 and Sliver battery.
