Contact your network provider to remove sim lock on your device ( if your on contract and haven't expired/over yet maybe they will not do it for you) after you removed the sim lock, you can unlock your boatloader and mod your phone..

Hi All

I am trying to find a way of sending a Business Card via SMS like all the good old Nokia's and other mobile phones use to do it... I have seen I can do it through Bluetooth or IR but can't find out to do it through SMS?? any ideas?

A Business Card is just a way of sending one of your contacts to another phone, if you beem (Bluetooth or IR) a contact to another phone you will see it says Business Card recived... Want to do the same thing but with SMS (other phones can do this)..

Many thanks...

FYI to you guys out there trying to change your LCD Density via ro.sf.lcd_density. So far I get a soft brick when setting it to anything other than 320 and the default (I believe was 480 or 420). So far I've tried:

80

160

180

240

When changed to anything else it will constantly crash the "System UI" but will still be functional as long as you're using a different launcher (apex, nova, etc). In my particular case, I hadn't changed the launcher yet so all I saw was a black screen. To get around that I used S Voice by double clicking on the home button from the lock screen to get to the play store and install apex launcher, then from there was able to get back to ROM Toolbox and switch the density back.

Whatever you do, *don't* change your density to 80 :)...its nearly impossible to tap anything with the buttons being incredibly small and the phone freezing up every 5 seconds.

You must have eagle eyed vision to see 80DPI. =)

People just LOVE screwing around with stuff without a way to restore the phone right now, don't they? I tell ya, I've just rooted mine, frozen apps, and enjoyed it just the way it is, no hackery involved.... Once I have a way to restore from recovery, you bet your ass I'll be messing with stuff, but not now!

This should be the new motto of the at&t gs4 section. :thumbup:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] KryptosXLayer2:
Haha, agreed! And for some reason, I've been getting PMs from people on here who probably shouldn't be messing around with their phones asking me "how did you root your S4?" and "how did you debloat your S4?" like I'm some expert or something, just because I have a fancy signature!

Search and read BEFORE you screw around with stuff! This isn't a toy you just hack the crap out of without any consequences if it doesn't work! Good thing the LCD density adjustment was just a soft brick, but come on folks, let's use a little bit more sense and don't mess with stuff that could brick your phone when we don't have a way to recover - especially not trying new things other people haven't confirmed working on their phones yet, unlike how root has been a couple dozen times....

and coming from a GS3 running at 180dpi it's hard to live with only fitting one icon on your screen at a time because of the stock DPI settings
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] scoot05redss:
Just my experience but use Apex and set then icon size to like 70 ( I prefer 80) and add more columns and rows! Doesn't affect the status bar and other things but gives the home screens and app drawer the same lower DPI look you may be going for!

Sent from my Galaxy S 4!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] wonton164:
thanks for the suggestion, the main thing I'm concerned about is things like the status bar, fonts, spacing, etc. and was just using icons as an example. I can live with 320 for the time being with setting tiny font size and adding more columns and rows, but still would like to drop it down to 205-220 when possible

Would you mind showing a pic of what 320 looks like?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] SlimJ87D:
His point wasn't to stop people from trying but to WAIT for a recovery method so if you brick your phone it can be recovered.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] wonton164:
Fair enough, in the past when I've changed DPI I haven't run into issues, even though I had followed previous warnings to do a nandroid backup before changing it. Of course that's not entirely a valid excuse, as it's always true that every phone is different and there's always a possibility of something as simple as that wrecking havoc.

If you didn't realize, I didn't come crying here asking how to fix this. I didn't say a word until I managed to come across a fix on my own and figured it may potentially be helpful for others to avoid my mistake (for those that use the search function). Had I not come up with a way to get my phone functioning again I would have just waited out a stock firmware showing up here as I realize it would have been entirely my own fault.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] hamzer11:
I didn't go the build.prop route, instead used the app setting module mentioned earlier. With that I changed the systemui dpi and it made the notification bar and the pull down dpi smaller as I wanted. Did it just to test for you and it works.

Just checked and it made the active app switcher (home button long press) smaller too.

It seems whenever i am in low netwrk area or when the tab is deep seated in my pocket or bag, it looses its network. Then when i wud try to restart the netwrk airplane mode toggle, NO SERVICE msg stays there forever. At this point i have to restart the device for it to connect to the netwrk again. This problem was not there when the devuce was running ICS. I have updated the device twice, to the updates released by samsung. In the previous 4.1.1 version i wud have to restart the device. But in the current 4.1.2 version. It still needs the airplane mode toggle. Why is the device loosing netwrk nd is not able to reconnect without me doing the sorcery. If anyone can help plz!!!

I recently tried flashing a ROM for the first time, and then somehow I ended up using 156 mb of my mobile data re-downloading some apps. I'm not sure if I had the option to setup my WiFi to my phone, but I would have preferred it only updated the apps using that. I only have 200 mb data limit per month, so I ended up going over the limit.

If I decide to flash another rom again, tell me what I should be aware of so I won't accidentally have my data being used to update some apps?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BWolf56:
In the setup wizard, it asks you if you have a wifi to connect to.

Also, you can tell Google not to download the apps right away. That way, once your phone is fully booted, connect to your wifi (if not already done through the setup wizard) and go download them.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
Correct and correct.

One of the first steps in the setup is to enter in your wifi information. Not downloading the apps right away is a great option if you aren't near wifi or want to restore them yourself via backup program. cheers

Thanks guys. I guess I might have skipped the step for WiFi setup. It was all a blur. Next time I'll be more careful
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TeknoGodz:
Also in the setup it asks if you want to restore your phone using your google backup, just un-check that and it won't start downloading apps.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] singhmi4:
Thanks, I'll look out for that next time.

Just to be clear, these ROMs shouldn't be accessing the internet while its installing, correct?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CamFlawless:
During install in recovery? No they should not.

Once you reboot to the setup wizard you'll be prompted to join a wifi network, then to sign into your Google account. You can bypass both if you'd like and set up your phone at a later time.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] singhmi4:

Are these both compatible with the Sprint version of the Evo 3D?

Are the tools that come with these the same?

Can I get an a cheaper price on either of them that are of the same or better quality?

I am using the JB firmware for about a week now and no these are not even bugs. White messaging/dialer UI are features, if you dont like it then we may have mods for them later.

There are no differences in the generic version / your selected version. If you are concerned about languages then most of the firmwares have loads of languages, you can check the SI thread for that. It's safe

And ofcourse, the choice to update shall always be yours ;)
