k how does one do that cuase if the simcard is not installed u cant use any function of the phone except emergency calls?

WOW I could of swore on my dogs death that it wouldnt let me do anything without simcard but I checked and u are correct totally functional without simcard minus a few things....thx for being professional and not calling me an idiot :)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chery2k:
Thats correct you cant have the phone function without the simcard except for phone emergency only (it can only dial for help nothing else).
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fma965:
no it will work fine except t

for calls texts etc :)
[Dell Streak 7] Nunotmp:
I have tried every guide I have came across to get this dell streak 7 to work with no luck.

I received this dell streak 7 from a friend because it would not power up. I purchased a charger on ebay and after plugging it in I only get the three button on the side to light up, the screen stays black. The lights would turn of as soon as I unplug the tablet so I thought it was not charging.

That was 2 weeks ago but lastnight I had it plugged in overnight and now the lights stay lit when unplugged. When I plug into my laptop I get APX mode. After several attempt and different guides to flash, reflash, or install the stock files I have no luck. Specifically I am getting errors in nvflash. I get this

This error occurs when I tried to restore.

failed executing command 31 NvError 0x12002
command failure: writedeviceraw failed<bad data>

I also tried to DJ_Steves roms and received this error

Creating paartition : BCT
failed executing command 16 NvError 0x12002
command failure: create failed <bad data>
bootloader status: failed to create the partition <code: 10> message: nverror 0x5 <0x1000005> flags: 0

It seems that it is the device and not the files that I have downloaded but I could be wrong. If any of you could point me in the right directions, I would greatly appreciate it.

You are in read-only mode. There is about a dozen threads in here about the same issue.

You can try this...

and if that doesn't work then you are SOL and need to return it to Dell.

Probably not, due to status bar icon placement. You would have to stretch the signal icon frame to accommodate the 3G,1X, etc... but then if you turn on WiFi there would be a large gap between WiFi and signal. I ran into that problem while creating a RAZR HD theme for my GALAXY NEXUS. Gingerbread doesn't have this problem.

His is very cool but not really a theme. Although it does look nice, its just Widget Locker, TSF shell ($16.81 WTF!!!), Desktop Visualizer and a custom wallpaper which makes for a nice home screen and lockscreen but that's all.

Yup same here. Doesn't prompt to add new words, old dictionary from htc inspire is gone too. Doesn't pull names from my Google account either.

Actually using Swype 1.4, working great now. Should try that out
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] zoso28:
Yes I confirmed that this is a bug that they are working on in the latest version of swype. The last version that had a working personal dictionary was 1.3.1, so that's what I'm using until they solve the problem. I've heard that the 1.4 beta is better, but some people still have the problem. From what I've read it has something to do with a conflict with android's personal dictionary, but that's still hearsay at this point.

HERE is the link to one of the swype support forums with more info.. This thread has a lot of info.

Model T-Mobile myTouch 4G

driod ver 2.3.4

HTC sense ver 2.1

software# 2.32.531.1

The problem appears to be with the actual message "screen" handler, when going to messages, at the top it says all messages, with the search icon, and below that is has the compose message button, but no messages actually display below there, it does nothing.

Clicking compose message takes you to the normal text screen and allows you to choose a contact to message, you can enter the text

and it will send telling

you "loading" and stops(hangs) there, the message does actually send.

The only workaround I've found for it is to go to contacts, select a person, and then hit the messages button...this will display the list of messages with that person but nothing else. Clicking the menu and hitting compose(or the "tap to reply") button get's you a prompt to select the program to handle it, messages or fb messenger, clicking messages gets more spinning of the "loading" prompt and the phone hangs at that point...I've searched this forum for about an hour now and have not seen this described.

.I'll be reading the guide for my model in hopes of a reply coming before the teenager with the axe..lol. Thanks for taking the time to read my post!

Beamin1~
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] estallings15:
You can try clearing the data on messaging, but you will lose your messages. If there is a hangup (I know, I know) somewhere in the app it might fix it.

Otherwise, for phantom errors with no apparent fix, a factory reset will usually fix you up.

To clear data, go to Settings>Apps>Messages and click "Clear Data."
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] myoussef0:
I've figured out how to fix it! First, I went to Section 5 of this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1762709 thread and odin-ed back to stock. Next I fixed my IMEI using a guide I found on xda. It was the second part of thishttp://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1804117 thread that says "IMEI is already corrupt".

Next, I did a bunch of things that I don't think I should have done and I ended up with a soft brick phone so I went and flashed back to stock via odin by following this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1840030 guide. I don't really know if it was necessary and I ended up getting stuck on the activation screen. If at any time you can not get past the activation screen, the third post down from here shows how to get past it so you could go to your settings and check them out or unlock your bootloader or whatever it is you need to do. But this whole part may not be necessary.

This is the part that I think completely fixed the phone. Probably the most important part of this whole guide. You have to dial *2767*3855# from a completely stock rom (root66 or others). It factory reset my phone and somehow the calls work, although it always says I'm roaming

A couple days ago I rooted my s3 and flashed the CM10.1 ROM. It had problems with mobile data and connecting to 4G and phone calls, so I tried out a bunch of different ROMs before deciding it had to be something else.

I figured out that my IMEI had been erased and since I didn't have it backed up (and I have no idea where my nandroid backup is or what happened to it) I had to manually restore it using some NV items reader writer tool and some other similar tool. It worked but there was something else, I think it was called ERI, was set to none. I kept trying stuff and ended up doing a factory reset. I attempted to unroot my S3, I have no idea if I succeeded in unrooting.

What I just did was soft brick my s3, not completely sure how, but I did then re flash root66 using odin successfully and now I'm back to the activation screen. Now it is stuck trying to activate the phone, but it fails every-time, and I can't do anything but restart the phone. So I restart the phone and have to go through the set up screen again and it tries to re-activate but fails and goes through the whole thing again.

Could someone please help me?

According to the Verizon website the phone is activated.

Update 8:24 PM EST: I have gotten past the activation screen but it says that the phone is out of service and when I try to call someone it says that the "mobile network is not available". Please help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] myoussef0:
Since nobody is here to answer me, I will post the answer once I figure out what to do, just in case somebody in the future has the same problem.

I'm going to start by re-rooting my phone. I'll let you know how that goes and if anybody else could help me out that would be great. Thanks.

UPDATE 7:45PM EST:

I successfully re rooted the phone via odin and tried to start it up to no avail. Next I tried to flash a ROM, but I must have forgotten to unlock the bootloader since I couldn't even get the phone to boot completely. Right now I'm flashing back to the vzw root66 rom and then I'm going to re root and try to unlock the boot loader.

UPDATE 8:07PM EST:

I finally figured out how to get past the activation screen and I unlocked my bootloader. Before I flash AOKP I'm going to see if I could fix everything else. I think I'm pretty close to a solution. If anybody else is having the same problem send me a message or reply here, I'll try to answer your questions if you let me know what you've done.

I really just need a way past the activation screen. After that I think I could figure out what to do.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mikeman45:
Sorry your having problems. I wish I could help but never ran into that problem so everything you said went over my head otherwise I would of fine a lot of research. At least now you are learning more and more.I just figured I would respond since no one else did.Good luck.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] defkult:
Well I suppose it is hard for a phone to make calls when it isn't activated. :p

Goodluck on your quest though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] myoussef0:
Thanks for the help, I finally got it working.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mikeman45:
What was the main problem?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmarch:
In case someone else has this problem...When I flashed pure 4.2.1, I couldnt get past activation and then found out how to bypass the screen. Tap once in each corner of the screen to bypass activation screen. Then once at home screen go to settings>more(right below WiFi/Bluetooth/data)>mobile networks>CDMA subscription. NV will be selected, change it to RUIM/SIM. Reboot phone. Worked perfectly for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sghrush:
No mobile network found

Thanks for this post. I ran into the same problem (flashing CM 10.1) with my first S3 phone but did not know how to fix it (wish I saw your post ahead of time). I returned phone to stock via Odin and was able to exchange for a second S3 phone via Verizon (since I have phone insurance). I flashed AOKP ms 1 (jb 4.1.2) on second S3 phone and noticed it was hanging on activation and also said no mobile network when trying to make a call. Luckily, the phone spontaneously rebooted on its own and then started working. Previous to my first S3 phone, I had a Galaxy Nexus. Never ran into any problems with the Galaxy Nexus and almost tempted to go back to it since the S3 seems buggy when flashing a new rom. I am afraid I'm going to brick yet another S3 and be out $400 since I don't think phone insurance will allow me to exchange a second time since this probably alert them to the fact that I'm flashing custom roms.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmarch:
Also, under mobile networks>system select be sure to change from home to automatic. Reboot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] myoussef0:
All was working fine until I tried to do this. At first nothing was selected and everything was working, but when I tried selecting automatic and rebooted it selected home for me and it is impossible to change back to automatic without it automatically changing it back to home against my will.

I too saw that on Reddit. I tried it out on my Evo running Stock w/ Goodies, and on my Nexus 7. Installed, rebooted, and played a bit to let things "settle in", and there is definitely a noticeable improvement in speed and responsiveness, on what were already pretty swift and smooth devices.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Art2Fly:
Cyanogenmod himself posted in that thread saying that there is something going on, but he doesn't know what exactly it is... However there is a mild speedup according to him. He just doesn't know why
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Genjinaro:
From what little I know about entropy pools, the larger this pool (a pool of random actions right?) is & the faster your programs/inputs are able to access it. The more responsive they'll be.

I could be very wrong but this is what I assume is happening here.

This pool that continusly dumps & fills for however many seconds is about 300-400 nomally on our device. With the tweak the pool is 3000+, I think the tweak also increases the speed of the refresh to access the pool by 1 second.

So 1 second (every second this -> 4 digit figure randomly fills & dumps) + 3000+ accessable random numbers (actions) vs. undetermined number of seconds & a pool avg or 300-400.

Again I'm guessing. I haven't spoke of this since my Eee PC & that might've been for a kernal.

I imagine it as a hand/s repeatedly reaching for a few hundered chocolates spinning in a whirlwind (before) & a ton of random chocolates with even faster hands reaching for a few thousand chocolates spinning in the whilrwind (after). :p

I meant by pushing the limits of the gpu, I haven't looked at the code which is why I said I was wondering what the dev's would say about it
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tyler.durden:
Agree. Benchmarks may not always be the best reference for performance improvement, but sometimes it's a place to start. Of course you will get 10 'slightly' different results, but it isn't like it will be a 7000 on one and 4000 on the next or something. I got it working and it seems to help a little, but the phone was already fast to begin with so it's hard to really notice a huge difference.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
Whatever.

I run benchmarks every 5min during the day then average all the results and get the ultimate number of perfection... Then average that result over a week's period and get the super dooper number and claim greatness! :) jkjk

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
Seems like this thing is not worth it... Read the 2nd portal article on it where it had more detail about what's going on.... Essentially just speeding up the CPU is what I gathered... So just set ur device on a higher performance scheduler and I'd be willing to bet you'd have similar results...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Genjinaro:
Entropy tweaks shouldn't do anything to the CPU as far as those gains go.

I didn't see any.

Its vaguely, VAGUELY :p like RAM in a way only unlike RAM which will hold recently used & currently used processes, it literally is a bucket of Random numbers that dumps & fills for any random data/function that will or will not take place.

The tweak just makes that bucket of pure randoms, bigger.

A bucket of uncertainty.

FYI hopefuls:

Its not going to stop lag when RAM gets full.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
Ur cpu will be running more often to preform the tasks. That's a fact. That's also why it has a negative effect on battery life as well.

I've tried all of the versions on my evo-lte running ics/mean rom also on my SG3 running baked "latest" and I can say for me it made a huge difference. I was able to take off my over clock and the speed was still there. This app improved ui responsiveness, app loading, app switching, start up, etc. Also improved my battery on screen time as well.
