Well, as new as a refurbished phone can get. Any replacement/warranty phone that congress from tmobile is most likely going to be refurbished. I know because I have one and I'm very nit picky about my phone and always find some small defect with it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] EtherealRemnant:
Yeah, I have had that experience as well... Although more often than not, I end up with a busted camera which is more than a *minor* defect...

Asurion sometimes sends out BNIB devices but only if a) they don't have a refurb on hand or b) you've gone through a few refurbs in a short time.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] zander21510:
I tried fixing my Nexus One's cracked screen...ROYALLY ****ed it up (just a little too much glue & ripped a ribbon) and ended up wasting $150 even after selling it for parts on eBay.

I would say if you are thinking about doing it yourself and don't have a lot of patience/manual dexterity/proper tools & work environment, don't try.

Also I figure the S3 is probably a lot harder to take apart than my old N1.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] daxecutioner24:
Yeah it may come plastic wrap and all but it's a refurbished one. Fixing the one you had at least you knew it was ok and how old it is compare to a used one that may bring a host of issues.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] CodyRst:
Well got the replacement today, was surprised when i opened it.

It came with the phone, a battery, a back cover, a usb and charger, headphones, a new sims card.

I'm wondering if I need to send back my old battery, or just the old phone? :confused:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Towle:
Just the old phone. You keep all accessories and back cover.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] CodyRst:
Sounds good, just dont want to be charged for a battery or usb cable
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Five0nIt:
I thought when you do an insurance claim the broken phone is yours.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mike102871:
That thought makes no sense at all,
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] killj0y:
Insurance versus warranty. This is my general understanding but I think it depends on the claim most likely. If you claimed it lost or stolen or at the bottom of a river then I assume you can keep it but I've never had to do a claim only warranty where you do have to send it back regardless.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] EtherealRemnant:
Yeah the only way you don't have to return a phone is if you report it stolen. They want it back otherwise so they can refurb it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Towle:
If you report your phone lost or stolen they block the imei of that device.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] EtherealRemnant:
Yep and lists are shared among carriers.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] daxecutioner24:
I think among 2 carriers t-mobile and at&t share the list
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] EtherealRemnant:
Well yeah because they are the only GSM carriers in the US... It wouldn't make sense to share the list with Sprint, Verizon, etc. since they are not compatible at all.

Haven't had any luck so far, seems everything out there are these in ear buds that just feel like I have water plugged in my ear.

Anyone know of anything that fits the description of what I'm looking for?

Hi I downloaded all the software need to upgrade my qtek1010 to WM2003 everything was going well but then when it came up to the screen that displays "it will take 5 minutes to upgrade" my Qtek was restarted on its own and then the active sync connection died so then the upgrade stopped because it could not make a connection with the Qtek1010 any ideas on how to get over this restart - broken connection problem or maybe someone can guide me through upgrading using an SD card.

thank you
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Rudegar:
what i put together from a fast search in this forum

Ok here you go, its a little outdated but its what I still use:

Qman's how to use XDArit to write nk.nb1 or nk.nbf to your SD card aka the Bootloader Method!

1. Place XDArit and the nk.nb1 or nk.nbf file in the same folder and start XDArit.

2. Select your SD card (disk drive) from the drop down menu.

3. Select Write to SD

Notice that the Windows CE box is already checked so just click the browse button at the end of that window.

4. Select your (nk.nb1 or nk.nbf) image and then Open

Notice by default XDArit will open looking for a *.nb1 file but if you're going to use a .nbf file you'll have to manually change the "Files of Type" to *.nbf

Notice that nk.nbo / nk.nbo was automatically added as your boot-loader and its check box is unchecked so leave it that way and click OK. XDArit should start writing to the card.

When XDArit has finished writing the image put the SD-card into the XDA and hold the power button and soft reset. You'll be taken to the below screen:

SD DOWNLOAD

Card Type:

CE OS & BOOT

Press action to Download

Or

Press REC to Exit

Press action to download and it will start the download/restore from the SD card.

Follow the on screen instructions once its "Completed" which will consist of a "Soft Boot/Reset".

BTW the above is based on using XDArit version 1.0 which can be download from the software section at:

http://www.yorch.net and a PCI USB 3-One Travel Flash reader P/N FPT-D bought at Fry's.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] cep019:
Hi Thank you very much for the reply - just need to know one more thing I have bootloader ver 5.22 will XDArit version 1 work fine with this bootloader and must I select option "5.17 and above 3,5K"

[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] NM99:
Hello everyone.

As you see, I'm "new" to this forum (I have been roaming here as a guest for a while) and it already helped me a lot in doing root, installing a custom recovery and custom Roms to my Samsung Galaxy Fit, I even learned how to overclock it! :D

Anyway, my main questioning is if there's anyway I can run apps that require a better CPU like Subway Surfers, Temple Run, Mobli and others?

I thank everyone in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] samo_gf:
No way until it's ported or modified to run on armv6 processors.
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] Raj joshi:
As samo_gf said it depends on game porting from arm7 but as you require app to overclock your gfit then use "No frills CPU" from playstore
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] NM99:
I see... I thought there was another way to run them.. Well, I don't have to install any other app after installing the app ported to ARMv6, or I have to to make the app run better and more smoothly?
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] Rohit02:
No u just need the ported game/app and depends on the game that you need to overclock your device.. Min 245Mhz and Max 729Mhz are good settings to overclock for most of the running games:)
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] NM99:
Well, I'm usually running 748Mhz and 122Mhz as the minimum, so I guess that will be more than enough to run those games. All that I need now it's a bigger micro sd card (4GB ain't doing the trick no more)
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] JatinSoni:

For Sd card you can buy transcend 8,16GB Class 10(BEST class) for storing your data..

Class 10 is the best, you can also have class 4,6,8. class is nothing but related to rw speed,it enhances it. :)

Looking at the codenames, both the international One and the ATT/TMOUS One are M7_UL. I'm pretty sure that they should all be able to run identical ROMs. Anyone know anything about this? Is it like the DHD/Inspire 4G where US variants needed an extra zip to flash things to make the ROM compatible?

So I bricked My Verizon S3 recently and now stuck with a dead S3 so I decide to do research and find what to do. (International Rom)

So I learned about JTAG and purchased a JTAG service on Ebay for $29.95

(Sent it out, received conformation on receiving the item, day later recive email that

"Hi,

I was able successfully flash the bootchain and repair the bootloader, but the phone does not boot to download mode. The phone may have hardware defect preventing it booting. I will ship the phone back to you and process a refund. you will receive your return tracking number via Ebay shipping. Sorry your phone could not be fixed."

So got it back and sent it to Samsung and got BER (Beyond Economical Repair)

Got it today

What should I do?:confused:

Should I send it to mobiletechvideos even though It's already been JTAGED and also the fact that there refund policy is very iffy since I'm spending about $90 for service and if there unable to fix it I get $60 back :(
