[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] WeAreNotAlone:
Thank you,

After experiencing the "joy" of PlayBook #1 of #4 doing a forced update to a OS version which was not rootable, plus was non reversible wanted to get a feel on what was going on. In the end with the PlayBooks I have (1) unit left that I'm debating to root or not... REASON? There's like (1) person on the CrackBerry forums that has a in-depth knowledge of the QNX OS.... and the info on flashing a "rootable" version of the OS is not well documented. (Info is scattered amongst multiple threads- the (1) poster with a in-depth knowledge posts in a cryptic fashion.

Process seems pretty simple, but there is little "traffic" in the rooting section so that does not inspire confidence in getting answers to problems that may pop up after the "root".

From what I read BlackBerry /RIM closed the loophole that allowed the PB's to be rooted fairly quickly and numerically the numbers of persons who even have a "rooted" PlayBook is few and far between, VS those with Android powered devices. )

Getting back to the Samsung,

As noted above: Looking for rom with a high WAF. (Wife Approval Factor)

Stability is a factor, and "time" tweaking is at a premium.

What rom would you recommend?

PS: Also on the hunt for a work-around to enabling tethering on Android 5GB plan.

(If tethering can be done without rooting, may leave the units stock for about 30-days or so until hardware is proven to be defect free. If you have any info on that, I'd be all ears.)

.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] j_smith305:
If it's for your wife then I would probably stick with stock so she doesn't complain about minor bugs lol or you could try a touchwiz based rom. Just check out the different roms in the android development & original android development thread and see if you find any that you like

As for tethering I can't help you much since I don't really use it. I did a quick search and found this thread that might be able to help: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1988735
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ioitall:
If you are wanting to root I would use the root injected rom. The instructions can be found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1771687

This gives root but fully stock otherwise. It is probably one of the safest ways to root.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] WeAreNotAlone:
That sounds exactly like what I, and others than are concerned about "warranty" issues on new phones- baring a total hardware failure would benefit from until the hardware is proven itself to be DEFECT FREE.

Would like to "burn-in" the device, making sure nothing is amiss.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WoodroweBones:
Hey everyone, I've always been a huge fan of inverted apps. With 4.2.1 coming out it seems there is a much longer delay in ROMs coming out. There are some inverted gapps packages though and I want to add some to a ROM.

I am currently running (or will be running) Xylon 011 Beta 3. I've tried JustUnBean's gapps package but it causes my phone to get constant FC's. Through some playing around (flashed JustUnBean and then gapps package dated 20121130) I managed to get a working ROM but it added a bunch of stuff I didnt want.

If I was to manually edit the Xylon 11 Beta 3 zip file and manually swap in the .apks of the inverted apps I want would that essentially give me inverted apps or would I be running into just as many issues?

Also does anyone know of a good inverted ROM with 4.2.1 yet? Many suggest to just use an inverted gapps package which is all well and good but one of the primary apps I like to have inverted is the calendar. I am able to flash the old inverted version of calendar in the meantime though.

Anywho just thought I'd ask the question.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Khizar:
justins gapps worked fine for me.. i tried them on pa and xylon, but since 4.2 i have been using this theme instead of inverted gapps.. and if you want you can edit the gapps package yourself, delete apps you dont want and add apps that you want
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WoodroweBones:
Yeah turns out I was a little too anxious with JustUnBean's gapps... using the Aroma installer worked perfectly!

I did try editing his gapps package but it almost always ended up in FCs or a phone that wouldnt boot. For some reason I thought that Aroma was another recovery and didnt realize it was an installer app.

I am sitting pretty with the Xylon 011 Beta 3 and all the stuff inverted that I wanted (Calendar is never themed in user themes)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] c0LdFire:
A lot of developers (but not all, of course) have moved on to the latest and greatest Nexus phone. Expect a few key ROMs to either get sporadic updates or fall off the face of the earth. It happens to every phone as it ages, sadly.

I haven't seen much either in the way of inverted apps, so keeping an eye on this.

I checked Tmobile's site every day for 2 weeks and on Wed the 5th, it became available to order. I called our rep at the TMO store and he verified that they were available through the site, AND that he had 10 coming in on Friday. He sent me an email yesterday saying they were in already. Picked it up at 1pm. Proud owner. Sorry to gloat.

I'm on king kang(aosp+pa).. I just flashed a modem for the first time. What I didn't think about was this Rom and cm rom's don't have the update profile feature. Just some special call crap that does nothing. I called boost and they couldn't make it only update the profile without some stupid ## code that was going to update software and firmware..lol can't let that happen

So I'm left with no data. Someone has to havE had this issue before. .. solutions anyone??? Thanks in advance

I made the mistake of uninstalling the email app native to gingerbread. Now I need it back for syncing with my work email. I have a rooted version of gingerbread. While I thought I backed up the apk, I cannot get it to re-install. Can someone provide me with the steps to take to get email back onto my phone?

[Sprint LG Optimus G] BlessedTalent:
I purchased a Brand New LG Optimus G on Ebay and was offered the GeekSquad Warranty for 2 years for $80.99 and want to know what you guys think about using that instead of Sprint's TEP. They also offer another option that includes accidental spills and drops for $189 I think which is still cheaper than TEP.

What do you guys think?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] thunder1979:
That 2nd option is pretty comparable to tep. The only thing tep covers that no one else does is a lost phone. Even then you still have to pay a deductible to replace the phone.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] BlessedTalent:
The only thing I have a question about is how the replacements and repairs are handled. I can't find on the site any where that explains if I have to send it into them via mail or if I can walk into any GeekSquad locally and have them do it there.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Barshalen:
I'm assuming it's the same as the insurance Best Buy Mobile offers. When your phone needs repair they have to mail it out, but they give you a loaner phone in the mean time. It only takes them 2-3 days to get it back.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Mindspin_311:
I bought my phone at best buy, I have 30 days to switch over to the geek squad protection, they make it sound superior to TEP because of no deductible
[Sprint LG Optimus G] BlessedTalent:
So Best Buy no longer does the Black Tie program or is this just another option?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] twan2001:
Black Tie Protection is now Geek Squad Protection... same coverage, different name.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] BlessedTalent:
Ok thank you for that!! I have heard some horror stories with the Black Tie insurance like being given a regular feature phone as a loner instead of something atleast comparable and being stuck with that for more than 2 weeks. Not sure I can deal with that!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] asiandrg0n:
They have to give you a smartphone as a loaner phone. They can't give you a feature phone as a loaner.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] neemot:
They gave me a cheap flip phone. I switched to TEP because of in store repairs at all preferred retailers.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] parham.derick:
I've always had geek squad and I've never been upset with it I went through 6 or 7 og evos all with extreme physical damage and had a new one within 2 days lol one i turned in with a 5" nail through it from a nail gun so its well worth the $9 a month as opposed to a $50 deductable with sprint insurance
[Sprint LG Optimus G] ksweeley:
I accidentally dropped my Optimus G and it scratched up the screen and there's a crack that formed by the three capacitive buttons and the screen and buttons won't work correctly, I have the $9.00/month GeekSquad warranty and I wonder if I can bring my phone into any Best Buy Mobile location and see if it can be repaired, anyone know if I can do that?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] parham.derick:
They wont "repair" it but the will replace it, GeekSquad stopped repairing phones when it was taking 2 weeks for customers to get phones back, and instead of them handing out money to unhappy customers they decided to change it to just replacing the phone, and refurbing the other for the next customer, so it won't be the same device you sent in
[Sprint LG Optimus G] ksweeley:
So with the $9.00/month plan, if I bring my damaged Optimus G to a Best Buy Mobile store, tell them I have the $9.00/month plan and ask for a replacement Optimus G, they'll give one to me? If so, how much will the replacement cost?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] brazilrican:
I work at BESTBUY mobile and yes it is well worth it not bcuz I work there but because your phone does get replaced and you're not left without a phone. So to clarify that your phone is not repaired it is replaced. As soon as the employee processes the claim in the system the replacement phone is then cued to be shipped if early enough in the day then it will be shipped off the same day from the warehouse . If not the next day. Of course taking into consideration weekends and holidays(business days). They DONT wait to receive your damaged phone and then determine whether they should replace or not. And as for loaner phone you might not get the same device but if you have a smartphone then you'll get a comparable phone if you have a feature phone can you get a feature phone as a loaner. The point is you're not left without a WORKING phone! A person's bad experience shouldn't ruin everyone else's. Whether it is lack of training or someone dropping the ball at some point 1 unsatisfied customer in comparison to how many satisfied customers?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] lensutton:
I have done this with my lgog that was cracked and no buttons would work. The replacement lgog costs you nothing. A loaner has a refundable deposit, if you need one. However I did have a problem where the person entered my repair order wrong so instead of two days it took five days. brazilrican may be able to handle it quickly, but I had to talk to a manager to prevent them from trying to send off my phone before they would send back my replacement. Also, only Best buy mobile would do it that way. Every Best Buy full store in Massachusetts required that I give up my phone before they would do anything for me. That was my personal experience. But for 9.99 a month and no fee to replace the phone, I am okay with calling around to find the manager who will help me the way I need.

So my buddy interloper is hoping to get this phone, hes never worked on an lg device and wants to. he was planning on holding off until after christmas in hopes of a good deal/sale, however if enough money is generated to help ease the costs he will prolly get one before hand :). im chipping in 15 myself, he is going to be getting a new line and the sprint store price has it for 200 (i havent looked to see if someplace has it cheaper, if so lemme know :) )

[Sprint LG Optimus G] interloper:
Saturday, a couple weeks before Christmas. Makes sense that it's quiet. I was in BB this evening and was messing with the E970. I only had a chance to notice a built in quad core optimization in the settings. IDK what this really mean, but I am certain the kernel is prepped for external controls. I already have a kernel ready actually, just need the mounts so I can make a zip and we can haz our first home brew kernel.

Thanks to all the people who are behind me on this purchase. If I indeed am able to get it through your pledges it will be the first time the community has done this for me. Thanks again.

Doesn't shabby have the mounts he said he had a kernel ready to go?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] interloper:
He might, but he's out right now. I'm looking into it right now. I believe his is a repack with some added functionality like init.d and adb root. I have a copy of it. Mine is a source built and will have OC/UV and maybe some added governors. You mentioned kernel love, I want to tap into that app. Can you point me to a system image so I can tear it apart? For LG it's called a TOT right? What does that stand for?

Im not sure if this is a a problem with the phone or the sd card I just installed. Im running on the latest firmware on the xperia T with a Class 10 32gb Sandisk. I've been trying to play my music off from the sd card but it will probably last about less than 10 mins till the music stops playing. The only way to get it to work again would be removing and putting back in the sd card or hard restarting the phone. Also I've notice that my phone is slower than usual when returning to the homescreen. Anyone know what the problem is?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] peetr_:
It's probably because of some corrupted music file.

Try to delete all music from SD card, copy there just one music album and try it again. If it happens again, try different album.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] elesbb:
Hey guys, my camera seems to have a random "blob" in the preview window as well as after the image is taken. I personally think its a spec of dust.. But i went to T-Mobile and they are warrantying it out.. I kinda dont wanna warranty it out as i get a stupid refurb device.. When mine is BRAND new and flawless. Screen protector ALL the time, otterbox case ALL the time.. Plus in my past, i never had luck with refurb devices..

My question is this, since i have the know how to take apart the device and "clean" the actual camera iris, i am wondering if samsung would be able to tell if the device has been taken apart just incase a bigger issue comes down the line where it will cost me too much to fix and warranty will cover it. I do have all the proper tools to dissassemble the device without leaving pry marks or screw marks. Thanks guys!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tony yayo:
they usually figure it out from the fairy dust that's left behind.

but seriously, how would they be able to find out it was taken apart until they have taken it apart themselves? will they leave a sock on the doorknob? you know how to take the device apart, shouldn't you know if there is a way? you are probably one out of 10,000 people that will read this that knows how or will take the time to actually "clean" the iris. if you know how to do THAT (?) you are better off doing any repairs yourself before bothering with warranty and getting a refurb. just my two cents
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] elesbb:
Thats what i thought.. And from my experience in my other devices (HD2, Touch Pro 2, Galaxy S2) i have seen screws that were covered by "Void" stickers where once you remove the "void" sticker it has "void" written where the sticker used to be.. Meaning well you guessed it, warranty now void.

I do enjoy warranty because i used to not have to pay a single cent for it, well now T-Mobile wants 20 bucks for shipping handling -.- (Seriously Tmo?) But somethings i do not enjoy taking apart.. Like say i dont know the EXACT issue, i would rather just get a refurb.. But i have the choice once the refurb gets here, i have seven days to send one of them back. If i do a once over of the device and figure its in worse condition than my current one, i'll fix the current one. Again im just hoping its as simple as dust on the iris..

Thanks for your reply though!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] H4rryTipp3r:
First off, my phone today has been acting up very severely. It will send texts, but will not receive them for at least 20 minutes after the other person has sent them. I tested, and it is my phone acting up not there's. I tried switching the rom, modem, kernel, everything and it's still doing this! I need some major help right now. My battery is not bulging at all either, so I can rule that out. I really have no idea what else it could be, no water damage, never dropped, nothing. Please someone help!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] byrdcfmma:
IMO, you should go back to stock off you are not on it. If you are still having issues, it is probably a hardware issue. Is your phone under warranty? If so get another one.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
I posted in your other thread they are doing NV upgrades in your area, lte is already being tested in Shentel so you're experiencing network related issues from the upgrades, its only gonna get worse before it gets better. Mines been in and out for the last few weeks. Failed texts, unable to call out, data so slow it won't connect, etc. Just be patient when they're done you won't have these issues and your data will be much faster and more consistent plus you'll have lte atleast in your area if not your house. If you get 3g at home you will more likely than not have lte there too, as NV is supposed to cover anywhere in the 3g network with lte.
