[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mewikime:
I'm using version 3.10.10 of the Google Play Store, on a stock unrooted E4GT, and every app I try to purchase won't give me the option of billing to Sprint. A couple of weeks ago the option was there, but now it won't let me choose that.

I've tried contacting Sprint to see if my wife turned the option off or something; she hadn't. Sprint says that some app developers choose not to allow carrier billing, that the choose to be paid via a credit card or Google Play balance. My account is in good standing, and the spending limit is not exceeded, and the account is opted in for Carrier Billing, and I'm using 3G, not wifi, to purchase. I've also cleared the cache and data of Google Play Store, Google Play Services and Google Services Framework apps, but that didn't help.

http://support.google.com/googleplay/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=167794 also says "Your device must be provisioned for use with direct carrier billing." how do I check that it is provisioned to do so?

Is anyone else experiencing issues when billing to Sprint when trying to purchase an app?

Can someone try to select Bill to Sprint on an app and let me know which ones work so that I can see if it's my phone or something else, please?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mewikime:
Hmm...

I've just contacted Sprint again and they still tell me that my account is in good standing, no outstanding charges and not over the spending limit. I even tried using an alternative Google account in case something was wrong with mine, but the option still isn't there. I'm using the stock OTA FI27, and build 3.10.10 of Google Play Store.

Could it be the version of Google Play or maybe FI27 that won't allow Carrier Billing?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Takenover83:
I am also having this problem. I have tried on Blue Kuban (FI27) and on FL16. Anyone have Carrier Billing working?

Note, I did try on 3G and had my wifi off.

I had problems editing the message above. But it seem's Sprint has disabled Carrier billing?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] themisterwilson:
I literally read this thread, went to the play store and bought a song and billed it to Sprint. Strange.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Takenover83:
I figured I was being lied too... Still makes me wonder why it is not working for me. What rom are you running?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RayTrue04:
I remember sprint was ending carrier billing when I had my og epic. But honestly I still have the option as I still use it all the time. How long have you been with Sprint? I've been with them for ten years so maybe they grandfathered us long time customers to keep the option?

Edit: Just did a search and couldn't find anything about them ending carrier billing. I guess it was billing phone purchases to your account that they ended. And my search results suggest Google added carrier billing to google market for Sprint. Guess it's your phone. Maybe you opted out by accident. I know I had to agree to terms and conditions when I first tried using it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JBob1014:
I didn't even know this was an option until I saw this thread. Pretty nifty, but I'll keep charging to my debit card, my Sprint bill is large enough as it is.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Takenover83:
I know in my area, I tend to roam alot on Verizon. Maybe that has something to do with it. Anyone able to do carrier billing with wifi on?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jonathanclary:
I bill Sprint weekly. Only issue I have ran into is Sprint has to check for acct over regular data not wifi so if you're in a location with crappy or spotty data it will give issues. I can't at work even though I'm on wifi but as soon as I'm home where I get service I'm fine. I called them a few weeks back about it not working sometimes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrao_n:
Also remember only some apps will allow you to charge sprint. Some app devs don't want to wait for the money or just choose not to do it.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Takenover83:
I have tried clicking around on several different app's. Even made sure I was connected to a Sprint Tower via Netmonitor. I just can't get the option to bill Sprint.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mewikime:
I forgot I created this thread. I still haven't been getting carrier billing to work. Even apps that previously allowed carrier billing are not allowing it now so the other day I contacted Sprint again via webchat and was told that it's because I haven't been a customer for 3 months, and new customers have to wait three months. So I'm going to try on January 8th and see what happens. What I don't understand is why the option previously showed up when I wasn't allowed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Threezees:
Temporary Fix

Sorry, just found this thread. Google Play, version 3.10.10, seems to have removed the option to bill carriers. At least that is the case with my version and my carrier (AT&T). If you go to application settings, and clear the cache/data for the play store, and then choose "uninstall updates", it will revert to the version that came on your phone. You'll be able to sign in and bill to your carrier, however, the play store will update itself shortly after. I haven't found a way to prevent the play store from updating itself on these new versions, so this is the only way I know. Sorry it's not a cure and only a temporary fix!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RayTrue04:
I still have my bill to carrier option even on 3.10.10. Maybe Google and your carrier just don't like some of you guys! Jk lol

But here, I screened capped me doing some purchases. Well acting like I was anyways :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dallastx:
All of a sudden i get verifying account and then "my phone is not eligible" when trying to turn on carrier billing. Anyone who had problems ever resolve this issue? Im not late on any bills, no carrier blocking, reset phone manually, deleted account on google wallet, no roaming, not on wifi, switched to 3g only...... I even logged in on another phone with my account in the play store and it works! I still cant get carrier billing to work!

Try to get a jig, that usualy gets you into downloadmode. And otherwise you have to take it to the store for repair. Look on Google/XDA for a way to restore the phone if possible.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ecto17:
Hello,

I get major stuttering every 7-10 seconds in both GTA VC and GTA III on my Samsung Galaxy Nexus. The framerate issue is not corelated in any way to what is actually being shown on the screen - it just stutters, it doesnt matter if its a police chase or a quiet interior.

The weird thing is that for the first 5-10 minutes the game runs absolutely great with no framerate issues whatsoever, and then it begins - major slowdowns every few seconds without a reason.

What is the possible solution? My android version is 4.2.1

Help?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] crazydad:
Now tha its all unlocked and rooted, think there will be an auto root method or a ez unlock ??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] angelino0919:
I think I read one of the devs say no. Only because of what was being done was rather in depth. The process is very straight forward though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] crazydad:
Ahhh ok guess ill have to do it the old fashioned way
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] blackbass595:
Its super easy the way it is. If it were any easier you would have to call it child unlock. Lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] noobabuser:
Agreed. The Casual method is really really easy.

Who knows... Maybe now that the cat is out of the bag our African Canadian Sock Monkey friend will throw us a bootloader anyway. Just to reduce the risk factor.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] LBJM:
I hate to beat a dead horse, but the current method is pretty easy and even comes with a step by step video. If you don't feel comfortable doing it you could pay a local tech to do it for you. ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] imnuts:
If you don't feel comfortable doing it, you just don't do it at all.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] yyhd:
It basically takes like...5 minutes. Super easy.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] crazydad:
Guess i got spoiled with the auto root things!!! And I didnt want to mess this phone up!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] blackbass595:
I understand not wanting to mess it up. Only one case that I have read of a truly messed up phone (couldn't make calls) but it was resolved and was never directly tied to the unlocking process. Area read read and then execute. If you pay attention it'll be fine . don't let any issues people are having scare you. If you pay attention it'll work out great.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] yyhd:
yes, true story. the instructions are VERY straight forward, very step-by-step. You CANNOT mess up your phone. If you're unsure of any step or instruction, just re-read the process or rewind the youtube video.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] RaptorMD:
I have to say when it comes to unlocking the one button unroot methods have caused more issues than benefits. I only say that because it made it so easy for people to really wreck their phones once they were unlocked/rooted and not really understanding the risks and what it took to get to that point.

That said of course it took me many, many times of reading through the posts, asking questions and getting help along the way. But in the end I was grateful to have know what I was doing, the risks of wrecking my $700 phone and also the true ease of restoring to stock and starting over, again and again and again until I got it right.

Adam's guide is very helpful and watching his video (although it has changed rapidly for the better) which is likely well out of step with the new method still gives you an appreciation of what it took for these devs to put forth our method of defeating the Big Red. Go for it, its not so bad.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Astania:
Dear friends,

I'm using TF101 with GREAT TeamEos 3 ROM build .81. + K.A.T Kernel .69

All seems to work perfect, except Internet Connection.

Normal WiFi (infrastructure) works perfect, but I want to use my Nokia E52 (Symbian) with JoikuSpot application as mobile hotspot. On stock rom, 9.2.27 (ICS 4.0) all worked great.

Now, when I've installed K.A.T toolbox with wpa_supplicant from K.A.T, my tablet saw my AP SSID, but when I tried to connect it, I got errors:

"Trying to associate with SSID 'xxx'

Authentication with here goes my MAC timed out.

Trying to associate with SSID 'xxx'

Authentication with here goes my MAC timed out.

Trying to associate with SSID 'xxx'

Authentication with here goes my MAC timed out.

. . . "

I replaced wpa_supplicant in /system/bin with original from .81 TeamEos package, but now I can't see my SSID of mobile AP. Wifi Analyzer shows it with "Ad-Hoc" notification on the right, but system Settings menu can't.

How can I connect to my Nokia E52? I tried different settings, open authentication, wep, etc, just don't know what to do. I don't want to use Net over bluetooth.

Is anyone else having any issues with flac playback? I thought it was natively supported on the Note 2, but I'm getting "the player does not support this type of audio file" error whenever I try to use the stock player on my phone (not rooted). I've also downloaded several other players that purport to support flac playback and they give me the same error. I know AT&T apparently removed flac playback from their version of the Note 2, did T-Mobile do so as well?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] nocoast:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] KillaHurtz:
I think it depends on the kilohertz (KillaHurtz lol, ironic). I have an extensive FLAC collection, and all play well on the T-889.

I don't think it will play anything above 48khz.

**Edit

-Confirmed it is a khz limitation. I have plenty of FLACs at 44-48khz (I tried a Bassnectar album @ 44khz) which played fine. However, a copy of Nirvana - Bleach @ 96khz will give the same error you detailed on the stock player. Tried both thru poweramp and experienced no errors. Hope this info helps !

Has the Samsung JB source dropped yet? I've been waiting patently for a 100% stable JB AOSP ROM for GS3 since I got it in June, and since we have official TW JB build now, I was wondering when we can expect to see a fully functional CM10 build, it still looks like there are quite a few bugs with CM10, I haven't tried any of the other unofficial AOSP builds because CleanROM is just running too damn good :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AegonTheDragon:
Try 'Beans' B6, it's pretty stable and completely aosp themed, even has the aosp lockscreen. Depends on what you use but I don't see how CM10 has enough bugs to not be a daily driver.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverendingxsin:
JB AOSP has been my daily driver for months now... not sure what bugs you're having issues with. Aside from the random bluetooth issues (which don't bother me much) its perfectly stable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 1ManWolfePack:
100% stable?

You will never find that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AegonTheDragon:
You misunderstood, I was saying that it DOESN'T have enough bugs to NOT to be a daily driver.

Sent from my Unlocked & Loaded Beast!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] noobabuser:
My experience has been the opposite. I live in a rural(ish) area. The drive between my house and the city large enough to warrant a 4G market is about 30 minutes long and involves intermittently picking up 4g about 3 times before it locks in as you get closer to town.

My S3 was quick to pick up 4G, but would briefly drop data and voice coverage in the "holes". The N2 is slower to pick up the 4G towers, but makes the transitions without interruption. The N2 has a much better radio IMHO.

((Important Note)) I ran the S3 stock for the first couple of weeks and then moved to Synergy Nightlies most of the time with occasional stabs at CM10. I flashed new basebands on the S3 as soon as they were leaked. The N2 was purchased on 12/12/12 about ten minutes after I learned of Adam Outler's team and their unlock hack. So none of my very unscientific opinions have anything to do with a stock S3 vs. stock N2 experience.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gfinockio:
... so usually ROM developers for other phones (that I've seen) keep either an updated bug list, or a list of things that work and don't work. I haven't seen those lists for the current crop of 4.2 ROMs here.

Are the ROMs that stable that every feature works perfectly already? Camera? WiFi (incl. tethering)? Bluetooth? Gallery? GPS? Network location? Maps? Email? Texting? MMS? NFC? Screen rotation?
