[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DannyDann:
My device is GS3 mini. And I have 4.1.2 Android Version, with a XXAMA3 bbv.

How do I root it? Is it normal that I just root normally by Odin3?

And if I did that, am I done or what? And how do I get ROMs for that version?

Thanks. By the way, I am still new to this forums.

Basically, you get the already rooted image, and flash it on the phone via Odin.

And I mean what image should I flash on the phone via Odin, I see there are a lot around with different BaseBand Versions.

Hi,

I've just discovered an interesting adapter for those who use a NOKIA carkit and wish to keep it and add a Bluetooth interface.

This adapter connects to the central unit and allows using a Bluetooth phone together with the NOKIA carkit.

The adapter uses headset and handsfree profiles.

Does anyone knows if the XDA II supports these profiles?

Take a look at the adapter http://www.lintech.de/english/index.html

Anybody guys made contract cancellation once you received phone?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] k0nane:
Nope. You have 14 days to do so, 30 days to return if you buy outright. Have fun.

This belongs in Q&A.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] escknx:
Thanks.

I use TMobile prepaid and just would like to cancel contract and keep using GS4 on my existing prepaid. I've paid full price for the GS4. So when I receive it I can just cancel my contract and this will not affect any additional fees and/or blacklisting IMEI etc. ?

BTW sorry for the wrong forum
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] k0nane:
Go talk to a rep in-store. If you signed up for another plan, while also paying full price for the GS4, you have no contract. You can cancel that plan at any time, you own the device.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] escknx:
Right I just mentioned that for now GS4 is unavailable for prepaid users so I had to subscribe for a contract to order it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] spridell:
I did the same thing.

I have a prepaid account but I signed up for a new line and purchased the phone outright.

i know a bunch of other people on this forum did the same thing.

I am wondering if anyone canceled yet also and how they did it.

Can it be done on the live chat?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Masonfield:
Yeah I looked on the T-Mobile site...no Galaxy S4 for prepaid phones. You have to give them your State ID and SSN to subscribe to a "no contract plan" where you pay the full price of the phone+$70/month. Which is complete bullcrap, because prepaid is the exact same thing, minus being forced to give T-Mobile your State ID/SSN for no reason at all. It's not just T-Mobile either, it's the same way with Sprint. Carriers want as much of your information as they can get; it's not enough you pay for service and the phone anymore.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] escknx:
My issue was much more interesting that anyone here experienced I believe.

When I ordered to my SSN and ID they haven't approve me and I was very wondering why cause I have a great credit score.

Then I contacted credit bureau and find out that my credit score fall <<400 that is unbelievable. Further speech and I realized that I've become a victim of identity theft. Now they confirmed this and recalculated my credit score as it should be. But to save time I had to order GS4 with my girfriend's papers.

Thanks GS4 that I've found identity theft so early.

The only one thing I have to do is cancel the contract once I receive it tomorrow.

So as I bought phone outright should I call somewhere to cancel it or I can just utilize sim card that I receive?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Goodfella80:
I'm also a prepaid customer, ended up buying the phone full price. Just hate the fact that even if you're paying the ful price you still have to sign up for service. I hope the only thing we have to do is give them a call and cancel the new line.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] pilot_xphile:
I did the same thing. I've been a prepaid customer for a year or so, and I opened a post-paid plan account so I could get the GS4. I also paid for the phone in full. I received it today and I already put my prepaid plan sim card on it. I need to cancel the post-paid plan but I'm not sure if I should do it now or wait. The sim card that came with the phone is still untouched inside the box.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Towle:
If you paid full price for the phone it's only $50/mo. The other option is to pay $149 up front for the phone, then it's $70/mo.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] k0nane:
Plus data fees either way.

I'm on a special plan.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Masonfield:
It's only $50 if you unlimited talk/text+500MB data pool. If you want prepaid with unlimited data it's $70.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Towle:
The new plan $50/mo including data. But you need to be out of contract to use it.

---------- Post added at 10:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:57 PM ----------

Ok I was thinking that it included 2.5 gb data, but that's an extra $10. So it's $60 if you want 2.5 gb or $70 if you want unlimited.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ua2:
sim locked?

I ordered mine yesterday night am planning to cancel service and use the phone also out of the country. Reading carefully through threads, but cannot find an answer: is the t-mobile S4 sim-locked? If yes and I paid the full price, can I get an unlocking code from t-mobile? Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] spridell:
I dont think it is SIM unlocked.

I havent read yet on any forums if anyone has been able to have it unlocked yet by t-mobile.

---------- Post added at 10:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:49 AM ----------

Same thing with me. I am trying to decide when to cancel the new line. SIM card is untouched in the box.

Waiting to see who cancels first and how the process went.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] apmon:
I think my experience might rival yours in "interesting"... ;)

I also want to use the S4 on the $30 prepaid plan, and therefore intended to go the route of buying the phone with a $50 line and then cancel it.

I tried to buy online, but it told me I needed to contact a sales rep to complete the order. After starting an online chat with a sales rep, it turned out they required me to pay an additional $400 deposit. (I am pretty sure I never had an incidence with my credit rating so I am not sure why) As I intended to move over to pre-paid, I asked about the policy of how to get back the deposit if I cancel the line before the 1 year is up after which you automatically get back the deposit. After that she started to accuse me of committing fraud! and that t-mobile is not in the business of selling phones. I then asked her how asking about cancellation would violate their new un-carrier marketing and she asked me "where I came up with such a thing as un-carrier". She then simply canceled my order and hung up on me.

I don't think I have ever been accused of committing fraud before for wanting to pay a store over $1000 to buy their product!

I then tried to order again to get a more knowledgeable and competent representative. Unfortunately this time my bank decided t-mobile was "committing fraud" because they thought a $1000 was an unreasonably large amount for a internet transaction.

After the bank unblocked my credit card, because I told them I really do want to spend that much on a phone, I tried it again. Unfortunately on the third time the "account verification department " declined my request without an explanation of why they wouldn't take my $1000.

So I spent about 3 hours on the phone with t-mobile on Monday and I still don't have a S4 :( I don't think I have ever had a company as adamant to not taking my money as t-mobile. Now I'll have to wait till the 15th before I can try and buy it in a store :(

Does anyone know what might have gone wrong, or how to convince t-mobile to sell me a phone?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Towle:
That's horrible. The reps are obviously just confused with the whole new setup. Every rep I talk to gives me a different story on how/when my classic plan will convert over to the new value plan.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] GG2012:
Reps are stupid. I would try and see if you can get it price matched at best buy and buy it there. They should since it will be off contract and you're paying full price. I just don't think they have it in stock yet.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] escknx:
Looks like you won't be able to do it before 15 except asking your relative/friend to do it for you, as I've done it.

Their credit dept haven't approve me since I had credit alert on my credit history due to identity fraud.

Your situation, did they tell you why you should pay 400 deposit?

Have u ever had their postpaid account before? Cause if you've never cancelled their contracts before and had no issues with credit score then I'd suggest to contact credit score bureau and figure out from there why you've been declined.

[HTC Droid DNA] CharliesTheMan:
I agree completely, send it off and have it JTAG'd. Turn around time is real quick. Having an unlocked phone is that important to me too so before I buy a phone I do my research and know exactly what I'm getting into. You got lucky with the DNA though because of it having the ability to be unlocked via JTAG. I definitely recommend proceeding it's an amazing phone.

The reason that you're getting a hard time is because a quick google search, site search, or reading through one of the many threads you mentioned seeing would have answered your question. It's nothing personal, and the good thing is that people are quite forgiving around here.
[HTC Droid DNA] eakeller:

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WolfDale7:
Ran a search on the forum just to make sure this hasn't been posted before, but I may have missed something... Excuse me if I did :)

When I'm in the camera app taking pictures/video, and am shooting some kind of dark fabric, there is a noticeable purple hue in the center of the display. Other shots (landscape, hardware shots) don't have the problem.

Below is a GIF image of my black trackpants and the burst image captured with my One.

Notice how the purple hue is constantly moving, disappearing and reappearing?

The linked image isn't the best of quality, and the in-person shots have a more noticeable discoloration, but should this be anything I should worry about?

My Moto Atrix 4G had a very similar issue, but the problem later bled into everyday shots where everything had a blue discoloration in the dead center.

Anyone else have this "problem?" It's not bothering me too much, just don't want it to come back and haunt me in a few months.

Secondly, does anyone notice that the brightness changes when you use the camera app? If you start out with minimum brightness and use switch to the camera app, your brightness increases temporarily (assuming this is by design and not some kind of odd bug on my unit).
