My embedded Sim... This is with the the stock camera zoomed all the way in ...

---------- Post added at 08:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:51 PM ----------

This is of it sitting on the end or a #4 slotted screw driver bit and still max zoom ...
[Sprint LG Optimus G] nick_fc:
Are you sure it is embedded simcard?

I did not understand hom you are going to connect new simcard ATT or Tmobile

By the way, I have found link with modems, maybe will try to flash different? E975 seems to be global phone...

[Sprint LG Optimus G] bigfdaddy2:
Yes I'm sure it's embedded I've shown pics and internals of it. .. I am gonna c if it will connect to t-mobile first when I get a new sim
[Sprint LG Optimus G] bigfdaddy2:
Well I have gotten my phone to pick up the Sim.... No longer have the no Sim no service on lock screen. But because its a unregistered Sim it says unknown Sim ....

---------- Post added at 11:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:40 PM ----------
[Sprint LG Optimus G] nick_fc:
It seems to me it does not see simcard, cause there is no info available about it
[Sprint LG Optimus G] bigfdaddy2:
That's because it never been activated or registered to any network... so it sees the sim but has no idea what it goes to or anything. ..
[Sprint LG Optimus G] nick_fc:
I think it does not. It should read sim serial, but it is empty

look here (classic sim picture) http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=35347358&postcount=1
[Sprint LG Optimus G] bigfdaddy2:
That's with a Sim that been activated ... Mine has not been activated or used so it is bare ....until I activate Sim it will not pick up anything from it other then unknown Sim...cause its a unknown Sim .....
[Sprint LG Optimus G] bedwa:
OK. As per here (http://www.phonearena.com/phones/LG-Optimus-G-Sprint_id7100) and GSM arena it supports the 850 GSM and UMTS bands. More than likely has US bands locked out in a similar fashion as the Photon Q. But I wish I had one to try it out. If I find one cheap enough, I'll let you know.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] bigfdaddy2:
It does work .... But u gotta change modems/radio image and also to a gsm ROM ...

---------- Post added at 10:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:11 PM ----------

I will be posting pics of the phone with sim card mod and what it looks like....know granted electrical tap isn't the greatest way to hold the sim on their but for testing purposes it works...

---------- Post added at 10:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:12 PM ----------

Also u can't use the sim tray holder from att version since the tray pin outs are opposite of ours .... I'm thinking that since the boards are multiple pieces we may be able to use their sim board on our phone ...
[Sprint LG Optimus G] bedwa:
Should be able to use any SIM tray as long as it's a 6 contact tray and soldered correctly. What ROM model/Baseband have you been using?

Edit: namely something like this.....

[Sprint LG Optimus G] bigfdaddy2:
Here's the pics I promised awhile back ...
[Sprint LG Optimus G] nick_fc:
Where

I think it will not see sim in this way.

So when you will post us pictures where we can see how Sim-info app recognizes sim card correctly (showing phone number, sim SSID and IMSI)

and where phone will be registered on ATT or Tmobile netwok?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] bigfdaddy2:
When I have a sim that's been activated or is activated ...
[Sprint LG Optimus G] bigfdaddy2:
Sorry I'm not doing this quick enough ... its a side project that I'm doing when ever I get time so its not a priority for me .... the best sim to use is a nano sim since that's what our phones come with...
[Sprint LG Optimus G] autoprime:
Sim card doesn't need to have ever been activated for the iccid to show up. I do all of my gsm band testing using brand new.. Never activated Sim cards.

Nothing showing in the Sim card app means its not connected.. Or the Sim slot is locked to only use Sprint MCC/MNC records.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] bigfdaddy2:
OK well c I didn't know that .... I was along the lines thinking since it never been used or activated it won't show anything... similar to them prepaid cards up buy at the store,their useless till activated at register ....
[Sprint LG Optimus G] alexamber91:
Ha?

Can`t you see the sim is up from contacts on the board because of couple of elements (resistor and mb capacitor, the photo is bad), that have left after chip removal. Even if it would not interrupt the contact you cant just put the sim down on the contacts, it is not right by the cause of a lot of reasonable things, sorry, but it is stupid... BTW your demontage of the chip was realy bad.. you have lost 4 or 5 elements and it will be the cause of not initializing the Sim even with normal connection.

So you can push out your affords before you will restore the normal state of the board and connect Sim card reliably with wires and soldering. So i think all the capacitors that were connected to GND can be thrown away and resistors just shorted, BUT If i`m not wrong, you have lost one resistor that should transmit logical "1" signal to the board, so before you install it down it will not ever initialize any sim. Unfortinatly i have no ls970... but it will be interesting to play around with it. Hope someday i`ll get one for a reasonable price...
[Sprint LG Optimus G] bigfdaddy2:
I will take better pics ....but I am 99% sure that I do have it working ...heck I may be completely wrong but appreciate all the feedback ...
[Sprint LG Optimus G] bigfdaddy2:
U may be right lol I just looked alot closer and never noticed ... I know what I did wrong the first time taking that sim chip off... Gonna grab my other og and try again lol....yes I do have 4 phones to mess with ...:)

---------- Post added at 03:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:22 PM ----------

Here's a pic of the sim I trying and the sim that came off the board ...the way the sim from the board is positioned on top of the regular sim is the exact way it needs to connect to the board.....
[Sprint LG Optimus G] nick_fc:
There are capacitors C9015 C9008 (from left to right) missing on the top. It should work without them. They are sim power source filters.

But on the bottom - resistors are missing R9018 R9019 (from left to right). R9018 marked as DNI in servuce manual, not sure what does it mean (maybe D......... Not Installed?) but it goes only to eSIM pin and I think extSIM should work w/o it. And R9019 is 0 (can short it)

Here is me photo - look

and the best way to connect - solder wires

I think it will be easy to you to solder 5 wires if you removed IC successfully

Use this solution

It shouls see sim card if it is activated or not
[Sprint LG Optimus G] bigfdaddy2:
OK I will start over tonight and hopefully have new info tonight also ...

[Sprint LG Optimus G] zeu55:
can u plz confirm that the mod will work for any cdma sim card? i need support for my cdma sim . i dont need gsm
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Crossvxm:
I Googled LS970 and came across this thread. I read on everything and wondered if flashing the OFFICIAL stock T-Mobile Optimus G OS would fix it to work with GSM. I remember i accidentally flashed that on my first LS970 with the LG flashing tool and the phone worked completely normal (except camera due to the T-Mobile variant having a 8mp camera) so I was wondering if that would get the GSM options working and all. Not that I would try it as my soldering skills and so on suck, but I do have an LS970 still laying around with a broken screen and all. The Sprint LG G2 had a rom built off the official T-Mobile stock and that got it unlocked, only difference there is that the Sprint G2 has a sim card slot. Perhaps future readers would like to try it?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] zaneti:
Hi, i'm new member here and i have one question in the photos i attached i marked some spots so can this sim card board be installed on the LS970 motherboard ? :o
[Sprint LG Optimus G] nick_fc:
NO
[Sprint LG Optimus G] shindou01:
Wow!, I've been reading this thread all the way from the first post up to this point and was thinking of doing it. Not to get GSM coverage but to have the option of changing CDMA SIM cards (numbers). However, since the last experiment seemed to be done quite a while ago (in September 2013) and there had been no update on whether or not the OP succeded in replacing the chip to a SIM card (CDMA RUIM) I'm gonna put this on hold. The concept however, is interesting and might be (theoretically) applicable. I may look into this when I have a spare phone to use. Thank you for the knowledge.

im goin try with this sim card holder for samsung galaxy s epic 4g sph-d700
[Windows 8 General] tboy2000:
I purchased a game on the Windows 8 app store. The screenshots shows the game in widescreen, but it actually runs in 4:3 ratio with black bars to the left and right of the game. I am most disappointed. How do I get a refund as the ad copy screenshots are misleading as I did not buy what was shown?

Is there an email for support?

Thanks.
[Windows 8 General] JihadSquad:
Isn't that the point of the try button? I'm pretty sure you get the app for free for 7 days to check for stuff like that.
[Windows 8 General] tboy2000:
I tried the trial. The game had black bars on left and right so the game was in 4:3 ratio. This was despite the screen shots showing the game in widescreen 16:9 ratio. I purchased the app thinking maybe it would play in full screen as an incentive to buy. This was not the case. Anyway, there are many apps to purchase which do not have trials.
[Windows 8 General] JihadSquad:
--I am wrong--
[Windows 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
@JihadSquad: That's not the case at all. Trials are implemented by the developer in whatever way they want to implement them. Some are "fully functional" trials where the purchase price is basically a suggested donation amount. Others have only partial functionality. Others are basically just a demo and can't be used at all. Others (games, especially) may have the first level or three but no more. There are also ones that are time-limited, which is what you seem to have experienced.

@tboy2000: All apps are required to have a link for contacting the developer. Typically it's just a website link, but that should be enough. You can also leave feedback on the app; a 1-star review saying that the app was falsely advertised will probably get the developer's attention quite quickly, though you'll need to provide a way for them to reply if you do that. If that doesn't work out, you can try contacting MS support, I guess. However, since you had a trial, observed a problem with it (and I'm guessing the trial didn't say anywhere that purchasing would fix the aspect ratio), and then purchased anyway, good luck with that. Frankly, that sounds really whiny and like you should have known what you were getting by that point.

By the way, do the screenshots show the app looking stretched at all? If all you want is to have the app fill your screen, modify your video driver settings (uncheck "maintain aspect ratio" in the scaling controls) and behold, all your apps will be full-screen!
[Windows 8 General] tboy2000:
I contacted the developer and they told me to get a refund from Microsoft. I called Microsoft and they gave me a refund. I can't find anywhere in control panel to alter aspect ratio to experiment. Have Asus Vivo Tab RT.
[Android General] Andromeduh:
DISCLAIMER:

I am NOT RESPONSIBLE on anything that will happen on your device such as getting bricked or malfunctioning. I only posted this little trick I found out to help others who are also in the same boat. This method MAY or MAY NOT WORK on your device, so proceed at your own risk.

=====================================

Maybe some of you have not seen any Superuser prompt that appears whenever you run apps that needs root (example are Link2SD, Titanium Backup) and etc. Out of frustration last night, I tried to find a way to fix this and I have indeed found it.

But before that here are some of the prerequisites needed:

-Phone/Tablet must be ROOTED

-Has access to system using File Explorers such as Mi(UI) File Explorer, Root Explorer and other explorer that DO NOT prompts Superuser. What I mean here is that you can see /data, /mnt, /etc folders and the like.

..and here are the little steps in fixing it:

1. Download and install BusyBox from Google Play Store.

2. Open BusyBox, select 1.20.2.

3. Click install, and wait for it and it's done.

4. After BusyBox has been installed, download SuperSU from Play Store.

5. Install and let it load.

6. After loading, press YES when asked to update SU Binary.

7. When it's done, press back and try apps that needs root like Titanium Backup.

And there, notification prompt would appear again!

NOTE: UNINSTALL, take note UNINSTALL previous Superuser app through Root Uninstaller. Main reason why that should be uninstalled so that there would be no conflicts with the SU app.

OPTIONAL: you MAY UNINSTALL BusyBox app but I recommend not so to avoid any problems.

I have also applied this method to my tablet that's already rooted but doesn't have Superuser app yet. A simple press of thanks is highly appreciated. :3
[Android General] ellynepain:
hey, I've been trying and trying again but still can't... what should I do? root explorer cant fix my problem.. superSU, superuser fixer, it can't fix my problem too. :(
[Android General] 666Demian:
It's not working for me neither, i can't fix this superuse thing
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RealTic:
I am having issues with gps connectivity and was wondering if a gps fix exists for this device that will up the satellite feed. I remember they had one for the epic. I didn't think I would have this issue on this phone as well but I am. It takes a few minutes for my gps to get a lock.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Compusmurf:
Assuming you tried GPS tuner and cleared the AGPS data then take it outside where you can see the sky and let it get a new fix?

If I remember right, there's a ## code you can go through and with your MSL code, clear all GPS stats to start it over. You'll have to dig around to find it.

Mine gets a lock in about 15 seconds to 7+ sats and is consistent all the time and quite accurate.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] The Root:
The gps should be much better than on the Old Epic. The problem before was that Samsung was using Google gps coding which had some major flaws. They switched to their own proprietary coding in the same way HTC did long ago and it has strengthened the gps immensly. You may have a defective unit. Only place I don't get a lock is inside old city buildings with a lot of metal and concrete (where no one is getting locks either) or in terrible signal areas.

Hi all,

After unlocking bootloader and rooting my XS, i installed NOVA kernal 0.05 and then followed by the NOVA XPERIA v0.0.1 in CWM, however, the installation was stuck at 10% for more than 15min and I had to restart the phone, causing it to be stuck at boot loop. Now currently trying to reflash stock rom via fastboot, since flash mode doesnt work in flashtool for my phone now.

Did this so far, but still the phone is in boot loop at the sony logo

fastboot flash boot kernel.sin

fastboot flash system system.sin

fastboot flash userdata userdata.sin

There are like 12/13 items to flash in the stock ics rom, however i only know commands for the three above, will flashing all the .sin files via fastboot consider as flashing the stock rom? Any help would be much appreciated thank you!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] raylite:
managed to reflash the custom rom again miraculously, thanks!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] markelON:
Try IT

Wipe Out all Partitions and then retry flashing the Stock ftf FIles (Extract them via 7z):)

fastboot erase boot

fastboot erase userdata

fastboot erase system

fastboot erase -w

Then retry Flashing via Fastboot:cowboy:

fastboot flash boot kernel.sin

fastboot flash system system.sin

fastboot flash userdata userdata.sin

If it Doesn't Help Do a Hard Rest and try Flashmod and Fastbootmode one by one.:good:

Hey everyone,

I've been wondering about this for a long time and tried to figure out how to do it on xperia s.

everything works as fast as normal, so i can really recommend "kernel tuner".

Anyone else using it now? :)

read my signature dude

smartphones are only really sposed to have a days battery
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ninjaijutsu:
Okay to be more precise, it feels as solid and smooth as with both cores on. Of course theoretically its not as fast.

So do u guys feel the different between 1 and 2 cores?

I just don't feel the different and I would rather have a long battery life :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Deniz.S:
so how many hours worth of difference has it actually made?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ninjaijutsu:
so far 13 hours and i have 53% left, with wifi and 3g on.. used the walkman for about 1 hour, a lot of net surfing, 3 calls, and many sms. no gaming today hah. screen have been on for 1 hour and 42 min.

dunno how many hours better but its noticeable.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mystertom101:
i usually have about 50% with 13 hours on my xperia s with both cores so i dont really think it is making any difference for you i can go about 18 hours total with fair amount of usage
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zackspeed:
Even if you force both cores online it does not make much of a difference in battery drain.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] lyall29:
There have been 2 bricks so far and as of now there is no fix. If you do decide to LGNPST and perform a hard reset by turning your phone off and holding volume down + power, you will brick your new lgog. Apparently LGNPST does not wipe data, which is why I I tried to reset mine. Maybe you could factory reset before you use LGNPST but NOT after.

Edit: It appears that if you are able to reset in the phones general settings menu then you will be OK. But if you can not reset in the general settings menu than I wouldn't try to by holding volume + power and hard resetting. I'm just trying to help out. Good luck to all.
