[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] cbrow51:
If your device can 'see' the TMo and ATT networks, but is unable to 'register' on either of them, its almost certainly because Cingular are operating on the 850 band GSM network in your area. You should probably confirm this in one of the Cingular stores before you go any further.

In theory, you have a valid gripe with Cingular if they told you 1900 and it turns out to be 850. In practice however, the device you have is not one of theirs (until the AT&T acquisition is complete at any rate :? ), so they will probably only say that your device is not supported and tell you to purchase a Cingular GSM Phone/PDA. Not sure if you had to get a contract with Cingular or not, but if you did the only thing you could probably push for is to be released from the contract without penalty. Then you could take advantge of wireless local number portability and switch to TMo or AT&T, where the device will work. If you go down the 'switch provider' path, Cingular may be incented to offer you a 'deal' on an 850 band GSM PDA device (like the Treo 600 or Blackberry), to retain you as a customer. Unfortunatley Cingular do not offer any Pocket PC based devices at this time. I suspect they will at some point, but who knows...?

Based on all the data I have been able to gather, it appears the TMo and ATT PPC phones will only work with a Cingular SIM, where Cingular are operating on the 1900 band network. Where Cingular is operating on the 850 band, something in the Cingular SIM and/or network is preventing the device from roaming on any other available network. Unless this 'carrier lock' (this is different from SIM lock remember...) can be 'turned off' in some way, then your device will not fuction in any area where Cingular uses the 850 band :cry:
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] rmatalon:
What is this carrier lock that u r talking about. I installed the xda developers second edition rom and it took care of the sim lock. Is there something eslse that I would have to do to get rid of the carrier lock?? I thought that i would still be allowed to atleast roam on the at&t or tmobile networks. I really don't know what to do. Is there any way someone could describe the stes to unlock and use the ohone with another carrier?? Maybe i didn't do something. And could you please keep in mind that I am new so please explain things as you go along. Thanks again for the help
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] cbrow51:
I do not believe there is anything you can do at the device level to remove a 'carrier lock' This is something that the carrier (in this case Cingular) does to prevent you from roaming on another providers network. Why do they do this? Its because when you roam, the carrier whoes network you are roaming on, will charge Cingular for the minutes you use. Since most rate plans these days include free roaming, Cingular cannot recover the cost of your roaming from you. So, to avoid incurring fees from other carriers for your roaming, Cingular prevents you from roaming, when they have their own network present.

For you to be able to operate your device on a Cingular network that operates on the 850 band, Cingular would have to 'enable' roaming on your wireless service, even when there is a Cingular network present. I have not been able to determine if they will or can do that...

Is there a reason you cannot switch to ATT or T-Mobile?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Eve_brea:
i recently flashed the stock rom for my phone, which didn't work too well for some reason. SO i went an flashed domination ics.

through futzing around in terminal emulator, i've removed all apps in data/app, and i can't get into recovery to flash a different rom.

i've used superoneclick and done everything, it flashes a recovery, but after holding the buttons until the lg image turns blue.. it just locks.

the soft button lights eventually fade, and touching it turns them back on, but does nothing otherwise.

is this bricked? if so, can someone tell me how to fix it?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mansa_noob:
Use nvflash to push stock. Search development section. Alternatively you can use the cleanup batch and then flash a ROM.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Eve_brea:
i did that, didn't work. I also went and did the "how to unbrick your phone with lg" and now nvflash isn't even seeing the phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Pain-N-Panic:
Do you have the drivers installed?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Eve_brea:
crisis averted. I managed to get the phone to take a backup of the original software someone uploaded ,the v21y one.

It's now getting a copy of all my backed up apps so the person i'm giving it to can install what they want to play with.

secondary question, though.

Is there a way to get root rights, without flashing a whole rom? I'd rather leave it on the stock rom, and just have root for apps that need it (like titanium backup)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Pain-N-Panic:
Yes you can root the phone without installing a rooted ROM. Install CWM via NvFlash and then flash the root.zip file. Give me a second and ill find you the link to NvFlash and the root.zip file

yes while on Internet Explorer or any other browser I fling my finger as hard as I can to get to the bottom of a page like in ics but now I need to do this 5 times to get to the bottom there seems to be a slowdown that doesn't allow the page to scroll smoothly it always comes to a stop as soon as I lift my finger off the screen? someone tell me I am not the only one that noticed this?

btw jb feels like a downgrade... "always, just once" wtf.

It's the same on other devices, for example galaxy s2 with 4.1.2 so it is JB.

Have you factory reset your phone after upgrading?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Emmanuel2000:
I did and it is the same thing with both opera and the default internet app. i think they were trying to make it feel snappy and not smooth because if you touch slow it pushes but if you slide it pushes and scrolls a little bit, hitting a break and slowing down fast also diuble tap when scrolling no longer makes it go faster.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] retrogamer24:
So I got a Nexus 7, and it's pretty cool.

I downgraded to 4.1.2 so I could use the Wii classic controller.

ANYWAYS. I downloaded the three top N64 emulator from the google store, N64oid, Mupen+ and something else...

Anyways, trying to play Mario Party 1, 2, or 3 and it runs at full speed. The game runs okay during the setup, but once you get into play, the sprites disappear and the spots on the board are all moved around and off the path of the actual map.

It's not a frame rate issue, it's graphical glitches.

I'm just wondering if there is any way of fixing it? Is there a setting I can change, or a different type of rom or emulator I need?

Any help would be great.

If you're wondering, yes, I do own a physical copy of Mario Party 1, 2, and 3. Going on a trip soon and would love to play it along the way.

Thanks guys!

[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] szpt9m:
Hi All,

Need urgent help!!

I am new to Android Upgrade.. I am using Galaxy 3 gt-i5801. 2 days before when i connected my phone to laptop using samsung kies, it showed me that there is an upgrade available( froyo). I just thought of going for next android version and proceeded for the upgrade.. it went on well but my bad luck just before it completed, my laptop internet got disconnected and even after connecting internet it didnt proceed but failed..

soon after that, my Kies showed me the recovery console and i gave for recovery.. that too failed since my mobile was showing samsung logo but not the download mode..

so i just disconnected my phone and switched it off... now i am not able to boot my phone at all.,.

i tried all combinations like.., vol up,down,home,power etc.. nothing is working..

is this phone dead? as i can see in other threads that samsung service center guys will replace mother board n take 3000+ Rs for the same??

pls help me.. i dont want to spend so much for this now..! plss help me..

Thanks in advance!!
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] szpt9m:
No ans even after one day :(

pls help me freinds !!

is there any way i can flash this using memory card?? my cell is not booting up at all :( :(
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shreyash007:

[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] szpt9m:

Maybe it hard bricked.

Try flashing stock rom manually via odin.

Do a google search for it.

Edit: connect ur phone to a pc without battery and try the button combos see if the pc detects ur phone.
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] szpt9m:
Tried by removing battery :( no luck

also searched google for flashing stock rom manually via odin.

the links which i got was explaining abt going to download mode and flashing it.. i cant go to download mode :(
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] S-p-i-r-i-t:

After testing CyanogenMod 7.2 I flashed back to GT-I5800_XXJPU_XXJP4_OXXJPO_multi_xxx.7z via ODIN but after reboot I cannot switch on my I5800.

But maybe it's a hardware problem: About a week ago a line of (black) dead pixels appeared across the screen. :crying:
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] szpt9m:
so no other way other than going to service center?
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shreyash007:
Well, i think u will be requiring a usb jig.Its a device which forces a samsung device into download mode even if its bricked.You can buy one online.

This is much cheaper than a new motherboard.Hopes it works.
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] szpt9m:
where can i buy this? could you pls give me the link if you can?

edit:

I can see below lines in usbjig.com :(

If your phone screen is always black, turn it on and if it stays completely black, then sorry, but NO USB jig will help you.
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shreyash007:
well if that's true then you have to go for replacing ur motherboard.

but still if you wanna try you can buy one on ebay.

can i get that in ebay india?? i searched it and can see usb jigs for galaxy s2 but not for i5801 :( can u give me the link if you dont mind!

[Nexus 10 General] Crazysah:
Hello,

Simply as the title says, is the Nexus 10 worth it over the Nexus 7 besides the extra screen size (price not an issue)?

Thanks,

Crazysah
[Nexus 10 General] EniGmA1987:
Yes

And the Nexus 7 will be getting a whole new model in 3 months. It will have a Snapdraon 600 processor, probably get an upgrade to 2GB of RAM like everything new does now days, and hopefully will also get a resolution bump. Once it gets this new model upgrade the choice between these two tablets might become harder.
[Nexus 10 General] espionage724:
My main reasons for liking the Nexus 10 more are:

- Rear-facing camera + flash

- Vibration

- Screen Resolution

- Specs

Imo, totally worth it :) The only downside that bothers me is portability, but meh.
[Nexus 10 General] Crazysah:
The only thing that may concern me is how fast it runs while streaming and playing games and battery life on the Nexus 10.

Otherwise it looks to be the tablet for me definitely.
[Nexus 10 General] sjgore:
A real-world non-technical comparison:

My wife and daughter each have a Nexus 7, and they're both very envious of my Nexus 10 that I've had since last week.

They both like the bigger screen, and my wife commented that she likes the colours on my Nexus 10 better. Her Nexus 7 looks a bit washed-out when side-by-side with my Nexus 10. She also thinks it feels faster, but that's just her subjective view obviously.
[Nexus 10 General] sgarrand:
As a Nexus 10 and 7 owner.. get the 10..

In my family we have two Nexus 10's and a Nexus 7. I was the one using the Nexus 7, with my wife having a Nexus 10 for months. I became envious of her Nexus 10 and got my own several days ago. My daughter uses the Nexus 7 and is in love with it. It's the perfect size for her. If i had to choose between them (and I just did), I'd get a Nexus 10 because of the screen. The Nexus 7's screen isn't bad necessarily but the 10's screen is really good. I love reading PDFs on it now, couldn't say that with the 7.

[Nexus 10 General] hughlle:
I personally think that they are too different to simply ponder which one should i get. To me they both have very different uses due to their form factor.

My N10 is absolutely fantastic, one of the best uses of my money in a long long time, but that said, due to it's size, it is either for home use or for when i'm on a coach or sat in the car for an hour waiting to pick someone up. The N7 would not satisfy me in these situations, but with a N7 or similar small tablet, it could feasibly slip in a pocket, be taken to the shop with me (i use my N10 a lot as a cookbook) or just generally out and about without having to consider lugging an 11" device around, i'm not the type to have a backpack or such, it's pockets or nothing.

as such, i love my N10, but am also considering selling an old computer that's not doing anything and using some of the money to buy a smaller device to complement my N10, just gotta decide which smaller device to consider. I do rather like the notion of a good stylus.

So yes, for me it's a question on usage, not which is better based on technical spec.
[Nexus 10 General] Crazysah:
I think the 10 might just suit me better. Two questions:

1. How is the battery life?

2. How is streaming videos from a web browser?
[Nexus 10 General] hughlle:
Battery life seems to vary from user to user, 8-9 hours being normal it seems. Some seem to only get 4-5, not sure what they do with their tablet, while some using different roms are getting 10+ without an issue. I've never tested mine although i watched an HD copy of the avengers on a coach, using headphones, and wifi off, and i was at 76% battery life about 2 and a half hours later, so good enough for me :) I played a game the other day for the first time, Arcane Legends, and while i didn't play for very long, it seemed that my battery was dropping at an alarming rate, as in mere hours of play time before running out of juice.

As to streaming, hit and miss. As you know, there is no longer any proper flash support. I've found most sites do not work for me, however this might be fixable through a different browser but i have not tried as the youtube app is all i need, anything streamed will be done on my computer.
[Nexus 10 General] EniGmA1987:
No Android device will officially support flash anymore, so both the Nexus 7 and 10 fall into the same category here as "hit and miss" with finding a stable web browser than has flash integrated into it.
[Nexus 10 General] kasper67:
Nexus 10 for me but nexus 7 is definetly easier to carry around. But that is not even a factor for me.

You need to root and flash AOKP pub... it comes with the stock browser... Then go to Google and look up adobe flash hack and boom... everything streams
[Nexus 10 General] espionage724:
You don't need root to flash a custom ROM, nor do you need that particular ROM either.

You need at the very least, a custom recovery. TWRP and CWM are the only options in this regard. Next, you can either:

- Install AOSP's browser on stock ROM

- Install a custom ROM that has AOSP's browser

And there's plenty of custom ROM's that include AOSP's browser. Next, you'll need to grab the legitimate flash player from Adobe's archive site for ICS, install it, and bam, done. No idea what that flash hack is you mention...
