[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidgeek99:
I've had the same issue, spent 2 hrs on the phone with Net10 and ZTE!

After some scouring the net on google I found this, several people on various forums and blogs report that it works great!

I'm getting ready to try this myself.

Scroll to the bottom of the list and you'll see that the Z990G IS supported!

If you try it please report back and let me know if it worked for you.

[Edit]

I was referring to this site here www.unlockclient.co

[QUOTE="droidgeek99, post: 41799617, member: 4718662"]I've had the same issue, spent 2 hrs on the phone with Ne

Id like to know the same thing. Bought mine 4 months ago, and every since Net10 activated it, its been rebooting on its own, refuses to allow connection to my 3g services 1 week into my first month. Pic msg and gps have failed since Net10 customer reps reconfigured my apn and now that they dont know what they did or why its not letting me axcess my services or we, Net10 refuses to fix it, they wont unlock it-told me they cant unlock it, they refuse to refund my $130 let alone $250 for paid for services that I cant axcess and they wont render. Top it off, this is practially a brand new phone and they want me to send it to them before they take a month to send me SOMEONE ELSES REFURBISHED PHONE. Yea i dont think so. Been a customer for 3 years and I want out.

Help me....please?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidgeek99:
I'd never have stayed with them for that long, Net10 sucks

Ok, so I tried http://www.unlockclient.co/

Paid the 25 bucks and it unlocked my Merit in under a minute! Now I can use T-Mobile! As stated on their webpage if you leave a positive comment on their Youtube video they'll refund you $3. I left my review and within 25 mins paypal notified me of the refund!

Here's the video to comment on for the refund. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0HHQy0tXJQ

****Disclaimer****

If your phone was manufactured or sold to you after January 28th, 2013 it is illegal according to federal law for you to unlock it without permission from your carrier. I will not be held responsible in anyway if you break the law.

My Merit was both manufactured and purchased prior to Jan. 28th 2013.

Hopefully you can get unlocked and away from Net10 without breaking the law :good:

Are you rooted with a custom ROM? I might be able to help you fix the other issues you mentioned.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stasi_leigh:
Sadly, no, my phone isn't rooted though I really wish it were. I am no where near Tech savvy and afraid Id brick it if I were to do it on my own.

I did however obtain the "PUK" code for my sim card (crazy enough through Net10) she just failed to tell me how to enter it in my phone to unlock it. So Im basically back to square one. ... I like my phone and all, I just hate that it hardly has any memory at all.

Im not sure if this is the right forum for my next question, but..... is it possible to change the stock or whatever from gingerbread to something

I really do appreciate your advice else? Lol told you, not tech savvy at all.....
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stasi_leigh:
Still think you can help??

Hey! So I finally rooted the phone (I know, yay right!) To do so, it was suggested that I install TouchNavRecovery and DexMeritRoot, which did as said...Root achieved. Since I've installed a custom rom called Icecream Scamwhich and ran it.....(really liked this one but had a few kinks to be worked out(which I was told to wait until they were fixed before installing) and I decided to try something else)

Now, I'm running a custom rom called the blue steel that I installed last night.

Do you think that you could possibly still help me? Id so appreciate any advice when it comes to the Z990g.

Hopeful yet!!

hi

where did you get the rom to flash it? and how did you do it??
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flip956:
ZTE Merit / SpeedFreak 2.0 / HotRod

androidarea51.com/speedfreak-us/welcome-speedfreaks!/

I'd go with that ROM. I've tried IceCreamScamWich which is a deodexed and themed version and one by StayBoogy on an overclocked kernel running at 777mhz but SpeedFreak2.0 is just amazing for this phone. You even keep more system storage through sd-ext4.

Try this kernel : androidforums.com/avail-all-things-root/525527-kernel-kernel1-0-update-apr-7-11-33-released.html

Overclocked to 864mhz and running smooth. Uncanny really. Hands down SpeedFreak2.0/HotROD is the best.

---------- Post added at 03:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:51 PM ----------

I recommend you also try SpeedFreak2.0!

As for unlocking, I've tried all those ROMs and non of them include unlocking. So I also tried that unlock client.co and did get my $3 refund as well. Somehow, I ended up with an awesome unlocking app throughout my search in making the most out this phone that works flawlessly for anyone interested.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stasi_leigh:
Yes, you are correct. Neiter offer a solution to unlocking the device from its network sim lock. I initally installed due to my phones over panicked kernel forcing my merit into a constant reboot until it was rendered nearly useless. Id hoped either one would stop or slow the reboots down as Im just now beginning to gain use of my merit for the first time in about 6 months or so. Frustrating as it was I bared with uit lol There for a while I figured Id bought a $130 piece of crap destined for the local electronic recycle bin

On the ROM you suggested....I'll be heading over to check it out as soon as I finish this post. And as for the unlocking app...... Id ever be so grateful and am highly interested. Please inbox me and let me know what I need to do on my part. Ive downloaded busybox and terminal emulator but as for the commands.....yea Im so lost. (Was advised I could possibly unlock that way) was also told I could install a unlocked version of the

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kallb123:
I'm very happy with my Z so far, I'm having to wait for my micro sim to activate, but that's not the phones fault.

However, the vibration seems to be causing a high pitched buzzing, like a piece of paper vibrating. I thought my X10 vibrated aggressively, but even in mid air my Z creates a loud buzz.

I noticed it the first time I pressed the home key and initially thought it may be the screen protector (that matt finish was actually nice to use :/) but even with both the front and back protector gone it's still there.

I guess this is mainly an issue because I never have the ringtone on, just vibrate, and vibrate for Gmail and this Tapatalk too. So if the vibration is faulty I think I'll unfortunately have to get a replacement as I don't want it dieing in a month.

Hopefully I'm being stupid and it's some software thing but I don't think so as it's coming directly from the bottom and not the speaker to the right.

Any feedback on your devices and what you think is wrong with mine (or not wrong if this buzz is normal :/) would be appreciated :)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avetny:
Yes it's strong.

Sometimes I jump at night from my bed, just because the phone start buzzing on table.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kallb123:
What about when it's not on a table though? Mine sounds like there is a label or piece on the paper left behind inside the device :/

I just want to make sure it's not faulty
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] huball:
This vibrator is "louder than stronger" :P, as in all thin phones.

Set vibration strength to max, and write on keyboard very fast. It'll start to sound like a broken shaver :D
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kallb123:
Where would I find the option to change vibration strength?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] huball:
Settings -> language and input -> xperia keyboard -> sound and vibrate -> vibration intensity
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schaggo:
AW: Vibration causing buzzing noise

Made my day, still giggling like a retard :D :D :D

Yes, the vibrator is quite well audible. As pointed out already, part of this is due to the slimness of the device.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasK:
Seriously.. I think the system can't control the vibrator well.

Even with moderate vibration, it is not accurate when you type fast on the keyboard. At time it vibrates longer than it should... and that's messed up!

The noise is definitely there.. sounding like a fly stuck each time it vibrates.

I do like this phone.. but each day, the flaws make me think otherwise.. Oh well..
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kallb123:
Ye, I've been thinking it's very hit and miss. Sometimes the navigation bar gives you a vibrate and other times not...
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Retxud:
AW: Vibration causing buzzing noise

Is there a way to set the vibration strength for incoming calls / mails / etc? The RC car sound of the vibrator is driving me nuts...
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheKingOfPain:
I white-listed Smart Connect to deactivate-reactivate mobile data and toggle between vibration mode and normal, all of this from 11.30 pm to 6.20am.

Now, Smart Connect vibrates when an event occurs... it's so strong I don't even need an alarm anymore to wake me up.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reptile64:
My first device had this problem along with noise from the speaker while in a call. The second one got neither! The vibrator is still strong but much less noisy and the speaker and loud speaker are loud without the distortion :-\
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kallb123:
I think I'll have to get a replacement :/ the buzz seems far too loud.

But not only that, I think, as I pointed out at the start of this thread, the vibrator is actually faulty abd doesn't vibrate for all texts. I can be fairly sure it's a hardware issue as even running the vibration test in the service menu doesn't always result in a vibration.

My sony z3 compact was dead after being used under water for seconds. I took off the sim card and sdcard, and dried it. I drown it into a sack of rice for 3 days. After that, its still not working but keeps on buzzing for so long time, even I charge it or not. It keeps on buzzing but could not turn on. Somebody help me, or advice me for what happened to my phone. I want to retrieve it.

NOTE: I am NOT responsible if you mess up your phone, yadda yadda yadda. You're doing this of your own choice :cowboy:

Anyone who is having issues with "Bill to my Sprint Account" not showing up as a payment option on the play store, I tried all the solutions I saw online and to no avail. Sprint/Google had no idea what was wrong. I tried clearing data of the play store, service framework, clearing cache/dalvik from recovery and fixing permissions, and got nowhere. I have *NO* idea if this is just coincidence or not, but I did this:

1.) ##DATA#, edit, entered my MSL code.

2.) Chose Others, HDR/1x Selection, forced it to CDMA only mode.

3.) Cleared data of Google Play.

4.) Toggled Airplane Mode

5.) Switched HDR/1x back to LTE/Cmda/EVDO

6.) Tried to purchase an app

After these steps, for some odd reason, it showed up as an option again, and had me re-agree to the sprint subscriber agreement and worked. Note, it didn't work until i went back on wifi and had it switch from wifi/3g to check billing status/back to wifi on it's own. Maybe someone who knows why can explain, but...take that however you want :) Good luck.

Does anyone know if there is a flashable twrp or cmr zip for JB (cyanogen mod 10 v2)

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
I've tried to use my twrp installer with the latest ics kernels and it doesn't seem to work anymore. It complains about the ramdisk not being gzipped with boot.img.

I'm sure that if you ask Erik nicely he'll compile a twrp kernel since twrp 2.4 has a patch that allows for the creating of bml_over_mtd for roms that need them like roms for our phone. Luckily this doesn't require anything more than including the latest twrp2.4 tree from teamwin's github and placing it under bootable/recovery, then you can just run mka bootimage and get a twrp boot.img that way. :D

If you aren't hooked on swype, you might want to try some of the aftermarket keyboards...they do some amazing things (and some do have swype or something similar included).

I have i9100 S2 with

I want to flash JellyBean, now someone told me this I9100XWLSD_I9100XENLS1_XEN is safe for me to flash troug Odin.

Than, because of the exploit in ICS i used the ExynosAbuse APK v1.40 to disable the exploit. I also rooted my phone.

In the App is this thing to unroot all, so:

(Q2) will this give a problem when flashing the above since i rooted before?

(Q3) Will i have to perform full wipe ( fact. reset) before i flash or will it be better to not?

This is you right now:

- rooted on branded ICS (4.0.3? 4.0.4? )

If on 4.0.4, I'm sure you read about brick bug.

want to flash JB? You can via odin / mobile odin.

wipes? not mandatory but you are flashing an unbranded ROM over a branded one...might be wise.

Best choice? Flash jb via mobile odin with wipes and EverRoot.

Again, if on 4.0.4...you know what to do (flash siyah, just in case).

That ROM you mentioned is safe to flash.

you might wanna read a couple of the official jb thread pages before attempting any of these.

If you're experienced enough, you could just plug ADB (debug tool for Android) in and get the log. There should be some Errors that hags the booting process and then you should manually try to fix the ROM (usually a bad build.prop or a bad software library), this being for advanced users, For regular users, backups and flashing is best.
