[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] obender:
It may or may not be, I have all of that :) but some people report they don't get Invalid SIm even when putting intl' SIM while in US and others (like myself) get the Invalid SIM message, and Sprint support is less than helpful on this. There is only one way for e to find out, go outside the US and see what happens but I suspect I'm in for an unpleasant surprise.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] eyecon82:
hmm..if you have all those options..and it doesn't work...then I don't know...sorry
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ehaalandtluk:
Could people who claim that they don't have "Invalid SIM" errors please confirm which OTA they are running on? MDC MDL MF9?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] obender:
I would be also extremely interested in accounts where people while in US and inserting a foreign SIM card _DON'T_ get the "Invalid SIM" message.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] tarasator:
If you have a message saying invalid sim, the phone will not work overseas. Me and my friend got the phone on the same day. Called Sprint about 100 times to unlock the phone. After they did, we both were getting invalid sim but all the people we talked to, were saying that as soon as you go overseas, the phone will start working. So he believed them and stopped calling. I, on the other hand, called them another 100 times and about mid June, I put my German simcard in and it didn't say invalid sim, and even sent me an SMS saying how much it would cost to use their services in USA. Well 2 of us get to Germany and my phone works and he is screwed for 3 weeks. Thanks Sprint. It's weird, because after we came back, he called them to complain and to get it truly unlocked, they weren't able to do it yet. My phone worked and his didn't and we have the same phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] eyecon82:
that's crazy...where can I buy a foreign SIM in the states to try out? i have a 60 day return period at best buy and want to make sure it fully works
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] mobileunlocked:
Hey,

What actually happened for you between calling them and putting in your German SIM card to get the phone to work? Were Sprint able to actually change anything?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] galexandr:
no, we are CDMA not GSM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] tarasator:
No idea what happened. I have updated my profile 100 times, I have undated uicc, prl's. Actually phone automatically updated profile once too, but that happened to me not too long ago after i changed my caller id on sprint.com. And then one day i put it my card and i didn't get invalid sim message. I am not sure, but for some reason i think that sprint is blocking sim cards from american carriers itself not the service from them. It's just a guess. I have no idea how they block it. I wish it was like with apple where people just crack the baseband and you can use any carrier, but no one want to do it for some reason. I remember with my blackberry, I had a t-mobile prepaid card in and sprint service so i had service virtually everywhere plus 2 numbers. all i had to is is switch between gsm and cdma. I am sure that the same can be achieved with this phone because when you take the sim out, your sprint service still works unlike with verizon phones, if you take the sim out, no service.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ricketkm:
Just had my phone unlock also by sprint got the email and all, so I was trying to see if there is a way to verify that the phone is unlock but it seems the only way to know for sure is when I get to Jamaica and try it on there service. I do have a sim card from Jamaica I put it in the sim slot but I was still on sprint network, I think I forgot to switch the mobile network to GSM. So I will be trying it again when I get home.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] mjolnir677:
Let me know how that works out for you. I just got unlocked today. Going to Ireland next month and would hate to show up and it not work. I haven't gotten a SIM card yet as I was just planning on picking one up at the store when I arrive.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] budde2:
Do any of yous that have gotten your phone unlocked have spending limit? I am going to Europe and sprint told me I have a spending limit so they cant unlock even though I bought my phone at retail price and put on my contract
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Ingenium13:
See if you can borrow an AT&T or T-Mobile SIM (or any SIM except Verizon). Even a data only SIM from a tablet works. Put it in your phone and switch it to GSM only mode. If it just says no service, then it should be unlocked. If you get a notification in your pull down drawer saying invalid SIM, then it's still locked.

I THINK you can also go to the dialer and put in *#0011# and it will show something about the GSM network (like the band/frequency), but it might not... I haven't tested it domestically with an AT&T or T-Mobile SIM. Someone on a different forum used this to prove that the Sprint S4 had support for a particular GSM/UMTS band, and he was able to do it with an AT&T SIM (it showed band information about the nearby AT&T tower). So if you see something there you're definitely unlocked. This menu says "no service" when you're connected to Sprint/CDMA 3g (LTE shows band information). See my attached screenshots.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ricketkm:
Just got back from my trip to Jamaica and my phone worked great with the international sim card. I had the sim card with me in the US and it didn't work when I was here but as a landed in Jamaica I put the bad boy in and I had service only down fall was I couldn't get data. So the unlock from sprint do work internationally.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] mjolnir677:
Man, the main reason I want it so I can use data for google maps and internet searches. Not to mention the Hotspot feature since I have the phone rooted. Wonder why that didn't work for you?

I did try a VZ sim and I was able to link up to a GSM network but nothing more.

Also, does the SIM come with number local to that country? Not too familiar with SIMs and how they work. I know they usually have phone numbers associated to them here in the states but wasn't sure how a prepaid one would work in another country.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Ingenium13:
Data works great as long as you are rooted and make an edit to your build.prop file, then put in that carrier's APN settings. I got full data coverage in Costa Rica doing it. There are instructions in all the SIM unlock threads.

And yes, you do get a local phone number. I could make and receive calls with the local number fine. I however did have issues sending SMS short codes (in my case to activate a faster data package). But I think that wasn't necessary an issue with my phone since I changed the SMSC and it also wouldn't work when I put the SIM in other phones and tried it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] mjolnir677:
I see someone got this thing cracked without Sprint: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2415587&highlight=sim+unlock

Now if I'm reading through that thread correctly, I shouldn't have to edit my build.prop, just use sqlite DB Editor (already installed from Hotspot mod) and add the APN entries for Tesco when I get to Ireland and have their SIM card inserted.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Ingenium13:
I just wrote a detailed description of how to add an APN http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2421436

And yes, you should be able to use a sqlite db editor instead if you prefer that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] mjolnir677:
Awesome guide, thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] mobileunlocked:
You shouldn't have to root the phone to get the data working on another network.

We see this all the time where customers have unlocked their phones and the data isn't working. It's because different networks require different settings in order to send and receive data. Once the phone is unlocked, all you'll need to do is contact the network you want to use and ensure the settings in your phone are compatible with their services. As long as it is, you shouldn't have a problem.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Ingenium13:
Sprint has disabled the ability to set the proper network settings. That is the issue, and why root is needed. It re-enables the settings menu that Sprint disabled. If you try to add an APN, it will be greyed out and you won't be able to add it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] mobileunlocked:
They really did cover all the angles huh!?

My apologies, I'm UK based so aren't familiar with networks doing this on handsets. Hopefully it isn't something that migrates easily.

Never in my life I have come across ppsspp emulator. Are you talking about terminal emulator ?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] Unnamed.Ace.User:
LOL, the ppsspp emulator is available in the playstore. You can dump your psp games, and it just emulates the games to be compatible

As for your question manish, i dont think it shall be compatible with our ace, it cant even run the android games properly. You would need a hi-end mobile for that. However, i haven't said no. If you have a PSP, then its worth trying. But remember the games shall be extremely light (in psp speak).

[Other Tools & General Discussion] subtask:
I am looking for analysis tools specific for Android app development!

I have found many tools online that are not specific for Android, only for Java, either free or commercial, like the famous FindBugs but it is not interprocedural so for example it loses several bad NullPointerExceptions that may occur at runtime! Other tools (like CheckStyle) perform just a syntax check that sometimes is not so powerful, and other tools are not suitable for Android app development :(

What are, among the available tools, those that you prefer and really use?

What kind of properties do these tools check?

What kind of bugs do these tools detect and remove (among the most common errors that an Android developer may do)?

Please help me with sharing your experiences and suggestions, thanks!
[Other Tools & General Discussion] jay613:
Call me old fashioned, or not, but I tend to stick with what's provided for me in the Android SDK/Eclipse. 90% of the time I'm working on games and I've never really felt the need to exceed the bounds of the Android SDK for debugging or development tools (aside from automation tools for repetitive tasks involved in development).

Out of curiosity, are you very familiar with Android's debugging environment? I think the reason why there are not many tools out there is because Android's got a pretty nice setup as it is.. but maybe that's just my opinion.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] jpepin:
I prefer to use Eclipse with the built-in sdk tools. Using custom tags and monitoring the Logcat output is actually quite effective, considering the output happens during run-time. It also allows you to test at run-time on real devices as well as in the emulator.

I have a T999 S3, my husband has an AT&T i747 S3 and my friend has a L710 from Sprint. My husband and my friend want their s3's rooted with the Root66/odin method. Do I need separate drivers for each phone or can I use the drivers that are already on my computer for my T999? (running Win7 64 bit)

Same drivers. But don't you dare use the SGH-T999 root66 on those other phones.

[Nexus 4 General] yev.gavrikov:
This post show how to replace the broken nexus 4 back glass.

Remove the broken back cover with T5 screwdriver.

Now start gently to remove the copper stickers from the right side "near power button" that nexus use like GPS antenna and or GSM (really don't know), be very careful because it is very think and you can easily tear it.

After removed stick back to the new cover

After you removed from right side proceed same action on the left side.

Now start to remove the wireless charger, be careful because in this part the copper part is thinner than the antenna part.

Be careful may be a lot of small glasses.

Now stick the wireless charger to the new cover

Well done, now you have new back cover
[Nexus 4 General] dunghnguyen:

does this casing have the wireless charger in it? cant tell from the picture ...

The image doesn't show the NFC or wireless charging antennas, so it's not original. I wouldn't pay over $45 for one of these copies. I can buy them wholesale (about 10) for around $35 shipped from China, and that's only 10.

I just bought the back cover from etrade for 19$ + 15$ postal because i'm from malaysia...i'm quit sure it will come without the wireless and nfc module....i just want to ask is it hard to take off the nfc and wireless module from my original (broke ) piece ? Thank you...
[Nexus 4 General] Nospin:
Difficult. Especially if the back was broken, you will be dealing with tons of little glass shards.
[Nexus 4 General] MasterJam882:
Just for the info:

For 50 Euros you can get an original backcover with antennas and inductive charging from ebay(new).

I've ordered mine already and shoudl receive it the next days. Will report then!

Unfortunately I'm joining this thread.. :(

[MENTION=3564203]MasterJam882[/MENTION], did that cover arrive well packed and is it the original part? Do they also provide instructions? (Though I'm sure it's fairly straight forward..)
[Nexus 4 General] yev.gavrikov:
Well packed no worry that it will arrive broken, you can find tear down Nexus 4 on google
[Nexus 4 General] Vangelis13:
Thanks for replying. Have you used the part, all good?
[Nexus 4 General] yev.gavrikov:
I used clean one, much cheaper, but harder to replace, for that i opened the topic that shows how to change the whole back glass
[Nexus 4 General] MasterJam882:
Hey m8. It has arrived but I was not able to take a look yet as I sent it to my home adress where I am at the weekends.

I will take a look at friday. As much as I can say by now it was well packed and nothing is broken.

As soon as I have replaced the part and tested the antennas I will get in touch with you again.

---------- Post added at 03:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:42 PM ----------

don't get me wrong but he was asking me and not you.

I posted a whole different part before from another shop, so ur answer is not really helpful.

I will inform u guys as soon a s I have all information
[Nexus 4 General] yev.gavrikov:
Its OK

i ordered twice from different sellers and the packs always was great :)
[Nexus 4 General] Vangelis13:
I'll probably go ahead and order it. Seller looks very professional, they've sold 18 off them already, price is very good. Quick research doesn't give any better options, none from Germany at least. Ordering from the U.S. will delay it too much..

Thanks a mill guys! :thumbup:

Edit: ordered this one at the end, same P/N, same price but shipping from Germany. Hopefully get it a bit faster.. http://www.mobiledirect.de/akkudeckel-black-fur-lg-e960-google-nexus-4-bulk.html
[Nexus 4 General] Vangelis13:
So, to report back.

Part received, it is the original part. Removing the old cover was a royal pain in the arse, incredible! Dented the shiny bezel a bit, who cares.

Speedy delivery, had the part within two days. No little screw drivers included so make sure you've got everything. Here's a good video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZDAIgwbXk4

End result: slightly damaged front bezel but a new back! 'till it breaks again.. :p
[Nexus 4 General] Zainiak:
Idk if this has been posted, but it seems good for only 55$ LINK
[Nexus 4 General] MasterJam882:
Now my report:

The part I posted before is excellent. I assembled it this weekend. It's the orginal part with functioning antennas and all LG stickers inside.

The disassembly was very easy. Go and get it.

Very easy!

[Nexus 4 General] youareme7:
back glass only?

Does anyone know how hard it is to replace ONLY the back glass? I bought just the back glass panel without really thinking and I'm unsure how i'll remove the old glass panel from the rest of the back cover to replace, I guess I thought it would be a simple swap but didn't plan ahead. If it comes down to it I guess I can always find and order an entire back cover but if it isn't that tough I'll just replace the glass. I only have 1 crack in the glass so it's not a shattered mess or anything.
[Nexus 4 General] yev.gavrikov:
Remove all the parts like in that topic, than break gently all the glass and with heat gun remove all the glass peaces and glue back the new one
[Nexus 4 General] TrueBrush:
Would gladly replace the back cover with a plastic equivalent, the glass material that pops out of thin air is nonsense.
[Nexus 4 General] track 1:
where did you purchase yours?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sirence:
Hello I have the following problem:

On my Xperia S, android os uses a lot of data.

In April it used around 100MB on data and 16 gb on WiFi.

Especially on mobile data this is pretty annoying as I only have 300Mb per month. I had an xperia Ray and an s3 before and it never used that much data on those.

Does anyone know what could be using this? I have auto sync disabled.

Or is there any app that could track what exactly is using the data?

Thanks in advance!
