[Nokia Lumia 920] daddioj:
I recently came from a nexus 4 i have sent it back from some of its short comings . how do you windows phone 8 users feel about the phone besides the lacking apps. are you satisfied with your purchase or would you trade it and go to a nexus 4 or any other phone? keep in mind i had every phone in the world lol

i just want some honest opinions. i am torn between going back to nexus or try a 920
[Nokia Lumia 920] driftnut56:
I really like my Lumia 920. This recent update seems to have fixed lots of stuff but for me it's introduced one problem :(
[Nokia Lumia 920] daddioj:
which is what?
[Nokia Lumia 920] markgamber:
I like my 920, my wife and son both like theirs. They both came from iPhones, being a developer I have and use lots of phones, both iPhone and Android. I was bored stiff with iOS and Android is too flaky so I went for Windows and loved it. A "lack of apps" depends on where you're coming from. Personally, I don't live in my phone and only really use Slingplayer, Tune In and whatever Scrabble type game is handy and they're all available so I'm happy. None of us (and, I suspect, the vast majority) have had any problems with the phones before or after the latest update. I also suspect we'll be seeing a glut of apps in the near future since WP8 has been pretty well accepted and a lot of the dev types I know are giving WP8 top priority at the moment.
[Nokia Lumia 920] daddioj:
I ordered a red lumia 920 today. hope its not too girly lol. I wanted yellow or cyan but those were out. I am pretty excited about the phone and wanted it since its release. so hopefully I wont be let down. I just hope there are a slew of apps soon since I do live in my phone. the few I use right now are there but very skinned down and buggy so hopefully it pics up. but I do talk and text a lot so apps are not too much a concern
[Nokia Lumia 920] Raymond77:
I'm loving mine so far.

Coming from a year of iOS, and Android (before a brief spell with Meego on the N9) prior to that, it's easy to tell that WP8 is still quite an immature OS, and there is lots of room for improvement. A proper, aggregated notification viewer/manager for example is needed, and the whole one system wide sound setting - so the volume that you have when listening to music is also the setting for the ringer volume - is ridiculous. But these are things that can be fixed/improved with system updates, and as for the lack of apps, well it's not been an issue for me at all.
[Nokia Lumia 920] nikufellow:
Please be specific what are we to understand when you end it - 'fixed a lot of things but for me it introduced a new problem' - without actually stating what the problem is !

Hi!

I`ve bricked 2 sd cards on my sensation.

In both cases the phone recognized only 108 kb from 8gb. I`ve reformated the first card an it worked but the second card , even after reformating it`s still showing only 108 kb form 8gb.

Is the something else i can do ?
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
Maybe it has 2 partitions

Try to format it via pc and one partition and choose it to format at fat32
[HTC Sensation] razvanwin95:
Hmm....i had a hard swap partition (512 mb)....i tried to do what you said but no result....

//one more thing .... when i`m trying to format the card on pc i have only 3 options(ntfs/exFAT/fat)
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:

Does anyone experience problems when speaking through the headset when driving on CM10/PA/AOKP/PAC ROMS? I do. People can't hear me, i've tried disabling noise cancellation in the phone settings, but it doesn't seems to be helping. Does anyone have the solution to this?

[Sprint LG Optimus G] xboxfanj:
Need someone who got an OG < 14 days ago and wouldn't mind a potential brick for CM

If you got an OG less than 14 days ago (which means you could exchange it for free if you brick) and wouldn't mind bricking, I have something kind of risky for you to try. This could potentially make us able to run nexus 4 kernels, which would make the road to CM exponentially shorter. If you are interested, please PM me or post here and I will send you the necessary files. If possible, I would like someone who knows how to use fastboot. This is completely voluntary, so do not get mad at me if your phone bricks. Sorry to ask this of you, but my 14 days ended. My idea is to flash the RPM partition from the Canadian E973, which has CM and can run n4 kernels. The nexus 4 RPM led to a brick unless someone flashed their partition map (in which case, it worked and accomplished the intended goal), since the OG's and N4's partition maps are very different, but the Canadian OG's is mostly the same, which leads me to believe it could work.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] tizonly1:
I got an OG off of craigslist last week, just to mess around with it, and maybe replace my GS3 with it, when AOSP ROMs started showing up.

I don't WANT to brick it... but it wouldn't be the biggest deal in the world if I did.

Plus, I've been leaching off XDA since my HTC Vogue. I think I owe the community.

I can offer my OG up to science. Let me know what you need from me. I've got a free day, for the most part, and I can follow directions.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] xboxfanj:
Thank you very much for the potential sacrifice. PM'd you with the instructions. Good luck.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
Wow! This is/could be awesome! Good luck to both of you.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] uncle_seuss:
Im in
[Sprint LG Optimus G] xboxfanj:
tizonly1 has already volunteered and I don't want to brick more people than I need to. Thank you for offering though.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] ks2332:
I can get my phone replaced for bc of where I work so I'm always in:)
[Sprint LG Optimus G] xboxfanj:
I will keep you in mind for future tests. Thank you.

You sir are a true team player. I wish you good luck

I would have offered but got device 16 days ago.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
Just curious...but did the phone survive? :rolleyes:

[Sprint LG Optimus G] _Epic:

[Sprint LG Optimus G] MTsol:
I'm down for testing. I'm a technician at a sprint store so I can replace mine if I need to.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] sheek360:
Thanks for the sacrifice.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] xboxfanj:
Unfortunately, no. Luckilly, before tizonly1 could test, I got a sprint employee who has a decent supply of OG's to test.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] networx2002:
Hope it works
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
Oh good. Guess that saved you both.

Thanks Sprint store person. :o aka kc....or mt...?

Wow getting a n4 rom on this phone seems to be a bigger headache than I thought it was going to be. Is it going to take a work around or a huge hack to get 4.2 on this phone?

So if i understand your post about v9 right...LG is changing our filesystem? And for the better?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] xboxfanj:
not our filesystem, but a certain partition called the resource power management partition, which could help us run mako kernels.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] bizzshow26:
Has zv9 leaked or did you see this from the source drop
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:

[Galaxy Note II, Galaxy S III Developer Discussion ] :
In my opinion CSCs are pretty much useless. By using CSCs you leave your phone on the hands of carriers, and there's anything better than using Samsung default settings? (well, that's a tricky question, but in this case, yes, better than using carrier settings)

feature.xml does nothing special and magical, and personally, I always delete every trace of CSCs, including CSC.apk, and never got any bug or difference. Regarding the APN thing, I use apns-conf.xml from CyanogenMod. Even though it's lighter, it's more complete and updated, so I never missed the CSC.
[Galaxy Note II, Galaxy S III Developer Discussion ] ansonscleung:
What I'd do to remove carrier content is to remove customer.xml and nothing more.

I believe the reason people tried to customize this thing is because they want some freedom while keeping stock!
[Galaxy Note II, Galaxy S III Developer Discussion ] garyd9:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1988202

... a similar post in the AT&T Note2 specific section (from before dev discussion.) Perhaps a moderator with the proper access can merge them into here.
[Galaxy Note II, Galaxy S III Developer Discussion ] :
CSCs overrides default settings. So, if you are, let me say, Japanese, your CSCs settings may not apply to someone from Canada, so it's better to leave the system stock and let it decide the settings. feature.xml is also part of CSC. The system already includes optimal settings for everyone, that's why I'm completely against the use of CSCs.
[Galaxy Note II, Galaxy S III Developer Discussion ] garyd9:
I disagree. In some cases, there are carrier dictated settings in the CSC that aren't always optimal. For example, US carrier variants of the note 2 (and sgs3) display the email app with a white background (unlike the international variants that use a black background.). The white background is less than optimal on this display type, but it can be changed with a single toggle in the CSC.

Edit:

Here's the flag I'm referring to:

CscFeature_Email_UseFixedBgColorAsWhite: if changed from true to false, the email app will appear inverted (with a black background and white/gray text.)
[Galaxy Note II, Galaxy S III Developer Discussion ] :
The range of options accessible by the CSC (which cannot be changed without it) is low, and mostly useless. The only situations I recommend to use CSC is when you need to override RIL/MMS/Phone settings, if stock ones are faulty. Sometime ago I had taken a look at each CSC file, and didn't see anything special besides stuff you can set manually.

Anyway, it's a very personal opinion, and I can't say it's really useless just because for me it is useless.

Hello friend

i am from India and i want to know that bad esn at&t sgs3 can work in India with any other gsm network
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AtoZ0to9:
AT&T doesn't use ESN.... They use IMEI, it's GSM...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] htcbrazilian:
When it is put as bad imei number it won't work any where in the world no matter what company
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AtoZ0to9:
Not true... blacklisted European phones work in the states... we don't blacklist imei nums... it will probably work...

Not sent from your phone...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] khan_frd2002:
So the conclusion is it works in india
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] khan_frd2002:
Version s3 is CDMA or GSM phone
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AtoZ0to9:
Verizon is CDMA... I doubt there are many if any CDMA carriers over there, and if there is, they probably won't activate just anything... Has to be clean ESN and in their database... A GSM phone from the states or Europe I can just about guarantee it will work over there even if a company has it reported as stolen IMEI... You'll need to get the phone unlocked...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] khan_frd2002:
Us cellular s3 can this also work in india
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AtoZ0to9:
That's CDMA... We only have two major GSM carriers, and only those two have the S3, AT&T and T-Mobile, so base the model choices on it's LTE bands...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] htcbrazilian:
If it's blacklisted it will not work anywhere he said a at&t s3. He said it bad esn which he probably means it's blacklisted cause at&t can't have esn. I tried
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AtoZ0to9:
He's mistaken on the way the carrier's work... and you may be too... Bad ESN phones won't work any other provider... They are CDMA phones. They do not take SIM cards and require OTA activation... The ESN must be in their database as their phone and clean...

IMEI pertains to GSM phones, and uses a SIM card. A stolen European GSM phone will work over here and vice-versa... It's only reported stolen with THAT carrier, just put your SIM in and it works...

His original question clearly states that he either does not know what he is asking, or just needed info, so I tried to clear that up for him... AT&T does NOT have an ESN, is NOT a CDMA carrier, and despite being reported stolen with AT&T will work with his SIM card, if he is in fact GSM, and judging by his location, his IS...

I'm done talking about stolen phones... buy a proper SG3...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] htcbrazilian:
I know all about cdma and gsm all I'm saying is that if you have a blacklisted at&t phone or tmobile It won't anywhere in the world. Black list is everywhere in the world
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AtoZ0to9:
I would like to see this world-wide agreement pertaining to GSM phones being blacklisted world-wide...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] urtruelove78:
blacklisted at&t phone will work anything other then at&t,h2o and red pocket. It will work on t-mobile, simple mobile (in usa) and anywhere else in world. (I tested it that's how know)

Blacklisted T mobile will work anything other then t-mobile, simple mobile. It will work on at&t, h2o, red pocket (in usa) and anywhere else in world. (I tested it that's how know)

Verizon s3 will work with at&t, t mobile and as world gsm phone as well. Data might work on some on edge, some on 3g depending on frequency. Jelly bean update made it unlocked gsm phone. as soon as you put sim other then verizon it will ask to change mode to global and will work on gsm voice no problem. I tried today with cracked screen verizon s3 that i bought and it works.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AtoZ0to9:
What data connection did you get with the GSM Verizon? What carrier did you try?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] urtruelove78:
That being said, All GSM carriers are working on shared database of blacklisted phones, so in few months or few years, Blacklisted gsm phones won't work at all on other gsm carrier.

Not sure if this said database will be used globally or not. That would be really bad.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AtoZ0to9:
It will always fall to the carrier on whether or not they want to enforce that...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] urtruelove78:
I got only edge with at&t

But then I havn't played with all settings yet.

Once i play with it, will confirm whats working and what not.

There are plenty of thread on verizon s3 how to unlock it and use it globally.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AtoZ0to9:
Confirming for others would be great, I was just wondering... I've already got an S3...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] urtruelove78:
Played with different settings and it will get only edge with at&t but surely works.

So it sounds like a bad IMEI on a U.S. ATT S-3 will still work on another U.S. carrier (straight talk) for example? Can anyone positively confirm this?

Not the ATT straight talk...

im assuming u have an att with bad imei number. att started blacklisting phones last october. every U.S carrier will be connected to one blacklist database by years end. right now if its blacklisted with att u can still use it with tmobile but thats not going to work for too long. to answer ur question the bad imei number will work in india no problem since the blacklist database is only for us carriers. heres an article to update you
