[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jmorton10:
When i bought my note II, i just took it home in the box from VZ and then stuck the sim card from my galaxy 3 into it and i was good to go immediately.

Now, I want to give the G3 to my wife to replace her aging droid charge but that has the bigger sim card.

Do I just go to VZ and ask for a new smaller sim?? She has unlimited data and I don't want to take any chance on screwing that up??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] SlyG07:
Sorry I don't have any information to help you, but did you purchase your Note II at full retail price?

-SlyG07
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] crazydad:
Just call them and tell them you need a sim card for your wife phone... give them her phone number and let them know that all you need is the sim card, that your not upgrading or anything . That you just need a sim card. I bought my note 2 and I was on a s3. My note 2 didnt come with sim so I had to use my s3 sim card. I went to the vzw store and told them I need a sim card for my s3 just in case I wanted to add the s3 and they gave me one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jmorton10:
Yes I did, so I wouldn't lose my unlimited data package.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] zerocool69:
Just stop by any Verizon store and explain your story and they will sell you one for about $12 +/- and you'll be good to go. It won't affect your unlimited data. :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jmorton10:
Its no big deal, but I thought they where free from VZ??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] imnuts:
A new SIM card should be free. Call them up and tell them you have a new phone to use on your line but need a smaller SIM, or just stop by a store and get one. Shouldn't take long and shouldn't affect your data plan either. It may take a few hours to restore full service once you get the new SIM though, just be aware of this.

What exactly are the Cynogen "Nightlies"? I have the latest Cynogen ROM on my SGS3. Are these updates created by individuals to make the current ROM better?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] smelenchuk:
"Nightlies" are nightly builds of the current state of the code base, incorporating changes that haven't yet made it into official releases.

You can get an idea of what those changes are in, for example, the 10.1 builds here, and you can download them from here.

[HTC Rezound] chrisrach3:
Just rooted my phone...and I love being able to use the WiFi tether! A few questions:

1) Which of the bloatware should I remove and will it noticeably improve the performance of my phone?

2) How do I get rid of the WiFi notifications that always pop up and tell me there's WiFi nearby?

3) How do I get Sense 4.0 on this phone and what are the advantages/disadvantages of it?

Please keep in mind that I am an extreme noob and it was pretty incredible that I was actually able to root. In fact, I had to get help from a friend on it!
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
1) It will remove any background apps you don't need. Read up on which ones can be safe to remove.

2) While in Wi-Fi settings press menu then choose Advancedyou will see the option "Notify Me", deselect/uncheck it.

3) By flashing a Sense 4.0 rom and matching boot.img. There are a few good ones and really just as many bugs as any Sense 3.6 rom nowadays, so no need to worry on that.

If you need help, I'm only a quick PM away. I might not reply right away but I will gladly be of help. :)

EDIT:

Regarding your first question; flash a custom rom and not worry about bloatware.
[HTC Rezound] chrisrach3:
Thanks, Snuzzo...much appreciated. Regarding #2, it was indeed unchecked. It says "Notify me, When launching apps, notify me when Wi-Fi is available"...not sure that's what I'm going for. Per your other recommendation, I'd assume flashing a custom ROM would help that. :)

Is there a good Sense 4.0 rom you'd recommend? Seems like I've seen that some don't jive with bluetooth...I use bluetooth a lot in my car. Also, what would you say are the benefits of 4.0 over 3.6?

Not being a real hardcore end user, I can't tell the difference. Worst one to ask in that respect. Checkout Hawknest's. Him and myself have been working on Eclipticrez for months now.
[HTC Rezound] chrisrach3:
Quick clarification...the WiFi notification I'm getting is the one that shows up in the notifications bar at the top of the screen. Unchecking "Notify me" only keeps it from taking over my whole screen. I have unlimited data, so I'm uninterested in WiFi.
[HTC Rezound] mclass55:
Flash NilsP rom and you wont have that problem anymore and everything works!
[HTC Rezound] chrisrach3:
Ha--touche! I'll have to check that out.
[HTC Rezound] bwthor20:
Menu-->Settings-->Wi-Fi

then

Menu-->Advanced

Uncheck - "Notify Me"

Check - "Never auto turn on Wi-Fi"

And to add...

Props to Snuzzo. Someone who is clearly above the simple in and outs of this phone, who is capable of doing things WAY over most of our heads, taking time to respond to some beginner questions. +1 to him, and a lesson for the rest of you who would just scream "Use the search!!!"
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
+1 to the preceding ---- but feel free to use the "search" feature anyway. It's just nicer.
[HTC Rezound] chrisrach3:
Yeah, I have searched before and came up with the same answer. The notification still comes up in my status bar at the top of the screen. That's why I was wondering if there was another way to do it... I guess that was my question. I figured I might be able to remove a system file or something now that I have rooted.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Also, if you choose to try a ROM that doesn't remove it, sometimes someone has a file you can flash that will remove it, such as for the ViperRez ROM. You might even ask if that file works on stock rooted if you're not ready to flash a ROM yet. Here's a link to the one made for ViperRez, you can ask in/search the thread to see if it would work on another ROM:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1786277&highlight=viperrez

But really, you might as well flash a custom ROM. I'm running ViperRez and I like it a lot but I'm not able to connect my phone as a portable player to my car and I'm not able to get my contacts into my car either. I was able to do both on stock and on a GB ROM I was running. Am going to reflash it and see if it works, or try to get it set up on stock first then reflash. Other than that I really like the ROM.

I was thinking of trying out iRezone, that seems like it might be good too.

If after you flash a custom ROM you still have that wifi icon showing just check the ROM thread and see if someone posted a fix.

I have Sola MT27i and I was trying to update to ICS and root my Xperia Sola for hours. I updated with Sony Companion and then I found the thread for root with Flashtool mode (flash to 6.1.1.B.1.10 with Flashtool, root using Bin4ry's method, then flash to 6.1.1.B.1.54), then I instaled CWM and I was trying now install a rom. It seems easy, and I did it last summer in my Geeksphone, but after various errors installing roms copied in externalSD as "installation aborted.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] suraj93:
Dude ! The ftf's in the first link are only the kernel. You just installed a CM9 ROM over a stock kernel, which would explain why it had bootloop ( in your case stuck at Sony ).

Did you flash the CWM in the ROM ( the boot.img in the zip ) or one of the others on the forum? Because those are built on Stock kernel, and this uses CM9 kernel, causing bootloops ( This is just me trying to zero in on the issue :P )

Solution:

Since that 1st thread had only kernel, the files were ~10Mb. The actual ftf is much larger, around 300 Mb or so, as it contains all files.

Flash one of the other 2 links' ftf's via flashtool and you should be fine.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lifehacker7:
Who said rooting is gonna give u more free ram.? It's just gaining super user rights to do whatever ya want with the phone. And usually rooting ain't gonna brick the phone. U either succeed or fail (in case u do it wrong). Bricking mostly occurs during flashing of roms. When u flash a different rom not designed for ur phone, or when u do it in a wrong recovery and such stuff.

ok dont try to flash the ram fix before unlocking bootloader.

total memory should be 816MB.

free memory depends; but it should be around 300-400MB just after the boot.

In your case if you see 816MB somewhere it's OK. the problem is with applications you installed.

But if you dont, then did you buy a used phone? Where did you buy from? Was it a trusted place?

Because stock,unrooted,unlocked phone should not need ramfix.

and to flash ramfix, you need an unlocked bootloader and a proper recovery.

hello there,RamFix won't be of any use as there is no way of installing it without custom recovery.Install Phone Tester app or any similar and see the total RAM which should be 855mb.you can then proceed with restricting/terminating apps that are unnecessarily consuming RAM.Use App2SD and move apps to external storage and see if there is any difference.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saldirai:
OK so your phone was a USED one. it's not brand new because previous owner had it unlocked. "UNLOCKED" means "bootloader unlocked".

You may want to return it if you didnt know it was used.

IF YOU WONT RETURN IT;

You have to flash ramfix as people said. but you need a recovery installed for this. the previous owner must have installed it. To check, turn off the phone. Turn it on with POWER+VOLUME DOWN button. when you see FASTBOOT, hit vol. down till you see Android Recovery. when you hit vol.up you'll enter recovery. Tell us what you see then, mine says CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.7-atrix5

I included the ramfix as attachment, if you confirm that you have cwm then you might want to search and find how to flash ramfix. I did it before but I'm not an expert i dont want to get involved :))

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saldirai:
your bootloader is unlocked for sure. what you must do is
