[Nokia Lumia 920] andronald:
I wonder how many of you have heard of JTAG.

Too bad most people dont seem to know how to use it (or can afford that kind of equipment).

I would try to find a "unlocker" who you can actually talk too (face to face). I personally would use an online unlocker too BUT, it just seems weird having asian people try to convinve you they are american citizens, selling %100 authentic unlock codes. I also see bad reviews.

My Advice:

Look for some guy (or girl) who works at a phone carrier station store (one that sells multiple brands of phones). Perhaps they can JTAG Unlock or Factory Unlock your phone.

OR

Go to your phone carrier (not the one locked to the phone) In person, and explain how you have this locked phone but would LOVE to use it on their service. If they refuse, just keep asking "why not?". Try to justify your use on their service (meaning, tell them that they are supposed to be obligated to unlock).

OR

If you are really bent on getting a carrier unlock, go to the locked carrier and then tell them you accidentally purchased the phone second hand, thinking it would work with your network. If they refuse to unlock (under any terms or licence) then ask for a refund. If they refuse, then get mad. They just ripped you off.

OR

Contact customer support of the manufacter of the phone. Explain that both your, and the phone's locked carrier refuse to unlock, and you feel that their brand (the phone's) is really dissapointing to you. Most companies used to give free stuff to sad or rageing customers for free - perhaps you can get an unlock.

In the end: The truth will set you free. Unlocking should be free, but as time goes on, codes become more complex.

Good luck getting a free unlock. Im not saying its impossible, but it is all about time, money, branding, and customer satisfaction. And believe it or not, that all costs money. They (the locked carrier) lose money everytime someone hacks, exploits, or JTAGs their devices, which is why they usually come priced by duration of service or fixed fees.

Hope this helps. My texting hands are tired!

The PC shows my device and my external and internal drives.

If I browse through my external or internal sdcard, it shows my folders and the files in them. If I try to paste something in either storage, it tries to move the file for like 3 minutes then it gives me the message that my device might not be able to view or play the file. If I tell it to move it anyway, it gives me a message saying that it can't copy it and also "My device might be unresponsive or disconnected". I tried to paste a song as well but it denied my request saying how "the device doesn't support .mp3 files" which can't be right since I did it before.

Also, if I go to recovery and try to mount it, the pc doesn't show any drives for it.

I thought it might of been a hardware id issue so I followed this method found here but it didn't help me. I have version 1.4.6.0 of the samsung usb drivers installed and I have Kies installed as well. I'm running the Anthrax Kernel w/ Jellybomb v. 14.

I've tried looking at other threads but I've had no luck with them. I would be grateful if someone could help me :)

Edit- I ran a troubleshoot program on the device manager for windows and it said it was a driver problem. I clicked the box for more info and it said the MTP USB Device failed to install. If i reconnect the usb cable, it installs fine on MTP mode. On PTP Mode, it fails to install. Regardless, I'm still not able to paste anything to the internal or external memory. Another strange occurence that I found out was that I waited like 10 minutes and tried to copy my files to the internal storage, and it worked! But, I tried copying the same files to the external right after that and it gave me "the device has either stopped responding or is disconnected" error.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fourdimentions:
Noob here, but I have a similar issue. Just watched an XDA video discussing the problem. ... MTP is the issue. It works differently than mass usb storage. I'll try to find the thread again and post the link.

i know this dosen't fix our problem, just explains it. right now i have to remove my sd card and use an adapter to mount it on my pc to transfer data
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Zin0:
Interesting, the video helps explain it clearly. I'm wondering if it's a ROM issue though. I was gonna try switching ROMs...maybe even do a factory reset if I get a free day.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
It has to do with how TW handle the PC connection when you plug it in, so its only specific to stock or stock based

AOSP always has and will allow you to mount as a drive
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] prboy1969:
I'm running JellyBomb v14 , and do not have that issue. One thing you may want to try is reformatting your SD Card. Ran into the same issue on a friends device. Turned out it was his SD Card. You can use sd formatter. It works quite well, and it's free.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Zin0:
I'm really liking Air Droid, thanks :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nabbed:
You could try to install Kies, it comes with samsung usb drivers. Then you can uninstall it and the drivers will remain.

Also, microsoft mtp drivers are included with the latest media player. Maybe update that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fourdimentions:
Which media player?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Zin0:
I'm thinking wmp if you have windows.

MikROMs Since 3/13/11
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fourdimentions:
Yup it's checked.

Maybe this is relevant, when in clock work mod recovery, I tried to format ext SD. said it completed, but it didn't wipe the card...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] livinsacrfice:
I know this isn't ideal, but you could always use 'adb' to push and pull files to/from phone. I do that frequently when on linux as MTP support is meh.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] prboy1969:
Did you ever format the SD Card? What I mean is actually pulling the SD Card out of the Device, and formatting it. Copy your stuff to the Desktop. Then format the SD Card. You can use SD Formatter as I suggested before.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fourdimentions:
I've formatted the ext sd. Tried different cables. Tried connecting in download mode. Nothing works. Right now I'm just pulling the sd and using a adapter for the pc to transfer data, it's a pain, but faster than Wi-Fi....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] prboy1969:
Do you have an SD Card adapter? If so, look on the left side of it. There should be a little tap. When insert your Micro SD Card in make sure the tap is all the way up. Up is unlocked on most SD Cards.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nickb99NZ:
I tried various methods to resolve this copying problem (settings, drivers, cables, different USB ports etc.). Eventually I gave up and tried the WifiDroid and AirDroid style apps to transfer files reliably. They worked without error but were clunky to use. Especially if you wanted to copy multiple folders at once and still use the phone for other tasks. The best product I found to do this was Solid Explorer on the Play store. Its very easy to create a FTP connection between PC and phone and then simply to drag/drop multiple files/folders in the traditional Windows manner. Better still I can walk around at home listening to music or a book on the phone while the files copy in the background. Quick, reliable and no annoying file copy errors.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DraggyWan:
Since I'm running off a custom rom. Would it be safe to follow through with this official update whatsoever?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Well if you have a custom recovery, then it may or may not flash. Some users tried to take it and got a status 7 error, while others took it to remove the notification and (hoping it would error out) were suprised to find it go through and it removed their root. The only difference with this update really is the firmware, but you can find flashables of those in freezas stock rooted thread
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] topherk:
First off, the unpleasantness: This topic has been covered in many, many threads. Please run a search (or scroll through the threads for 10 minutes) and you'll most likely find your answer.

Ok, now for your answer:

Are you still using the stock recovery or do you have a custom one (CWM or TWRP)?

If you're on stock, you *should* be able to run the update. I'd recommend going back to Stock Rooted before updating, though.

If you're on CWM, you can try running the update. It works for some people running CWM, not for others. There doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason why it works for some and not others.

If you're on TWRP, you can't run this update, but you can run the update files given by Freeza in his thread. If you just want to keep your ROM with the newest baseband, run the file "MB1 Firmware/modem/baseband update."

Hope the helps!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DraggyWan:
Thank you. I tried using the search button but the search on the app seems alil vague. Pulls up a whole ton of threads that are unrelated from other phone forums.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Yeah the search from the app is really bad....if you wanna do ANY search, you gotta go through the browser if you wanna search just a specific device forum / subforum, and if you wanna get relevant results

Hello,

I recently got my galaxy s3 and was fine until a couple days ago it started randomly rebooting whether or not I am using it, it is getting really annoying. I thought it may have been from the rom that I was on, which was wicked v8, but its not because I restored to stock and unrooted via ODIN and it still reboots randomly. Did this happen to anybody else or is it just my luck? If so, how did you guys resolve it, if you did? Thank You.

Hey guys I'm sorry if this has been asked or answered already. But I wanted to know if my galaxy nexus (CDMA) were to be having "software" issues. Would I get a replaced Nexus? Or another device?

Hey all. I have a ICS (4.04) Galaxy S 3 for ATT. Its been working for me great, but since i removed the bloatware like gallery and s-memo things like the copy/cut/paste and the little icon that takes to to your gallery in the camera app functions wont work.

What GSIII roms would you recommend? A couple things i would like is if the battery life is the same or better than stock roms and the home screens had a landscape mode as well as portrait. (And hopefully they work in nova launcher as well).

When i had my GS1 i used the AOKP rom and i loved that. It just didn't have the homescreen portrait/landscape thing. Thanks for your help!

Edit: Also, is ICS>JB or are there pros and cons on both sides?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pcshano:
Different people, different preferences.

therefore, look, read, and test them out yourself.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dxwilliams40:
If you like aosp then flash task's 650 rom. Pacman and rootbox are pretty good too. I would update to stock jb before you do anything. You will find it much better than ics.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Pbwizkid:
I have to agree that JB is better than ICS just seems smoother and more polished to me. As far as the roms go i am useing the official CM 10.1 and love it. But you reall need to look and test a couple of the diffrent ones to find what suits you best.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] diablo009:
These threads won't last long.

Recommended way:

1. Read OP for ROM features.

2. Check for ROM threads on top n see atleast a few latest pages for any issues or thanks. These are best indicators of how satisfied people are.

3. I'm on JB and this is quite stable. So I can say there are some very good JB ROMs out there.

hi guys,

bit of a weird problem this, i bought this usb sync and charge cable from ebay

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3034773011&category=3728

i plugged it in, activsync all connected fine.

its was only after a while that i noticed a weird noise coming from the xda.

basically as soon as you plug in the cable, the xda makes a whinning noise ... like a radio tuning.. like weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

i dont want to damage my xda ..... have any of you people come across this ?

what could it be ?

please let me know

yours

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] tenzin:
Ali-Butt , I ordered the same cable from Brando, and as you, I had this noise, and after a few minutes my XDA was very hot !!

Of course I stop using it, and mail Brando about that ; they email back saying that this cable seems to be corrupted, and send me a new one FREE ; 4 days after, I received a new one, and no noise, no heat , everything's OK ! :D
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Ali-Butt:
oh my Gosh !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thank you so much for your info !

the thing is, i bought the cable from ebay ....

shall i contact brando or ebay ?

what email address did you send your request to ?

thanks again
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] tenzin:
If you did'nt buy it from Brando, you could'nt ask him for a new one...you have to contact the e-bay seller's who sold this item to you , if he is serious he do replace your cable ;;;if he don't , mail e-bay for complain and write a bad feed-back on this e-bay seller ... but I hope you don't have to do so !!!

That's why, I bought a lot from Brando, a very serious on-line shop , in Hong-Kong, I'm from France, and I received my stuff in 4 or 5 days !

I bought there the famous "Brando screen protector", as far the best screen protectors I had (and I tested a lot !)
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] spence:

Good evening all.

I have a problem which is doing my head in and would be extremely grateful for your advice.

I have made different folders for my bookmarks and like to save them in specific folders. I can't, however, find a way of doing that when I save one - each time the bookmark is saved in the root folder. I have tried to move the bookmarks later after saving and I can't even do that. In frustration I actually logged in to my mobile account on my desktop and sorted out the bookmarks that way (I have 2 accounts - one for laptop and the other for my mobile/tablet) but surely there must be an easier way!
[Galaxy Note II General] irish-sid:
What browser?

You can move to a different folder in the stock browser by long pressing a bookmark and edit.

Our you on about something else?
[Galaxy Note II General] donec:
Assuming you are talking about Internet bookmarks.

That is why I like Firefox for my web browser. I can use the Firefox sync to keep all my bookmarks synced between my devices and keep them organized in the folders I choose.
[Galaxy Note II General] naim khan:
Thanks Irish Sid and Donec.

I am definitely talking about the stock browser. I have tried to edit the bookmarks but I just don't get any options of moving them to another folder. It will allow me to click on the 'location' link but when I go there, the only folder I see is the 'Home' folder.

I am very confused!!
