[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
There isnt really a one stop shop for rom on the Note 2, XDA has pretty much everything posted to it thats available for the VZW Note 2. There may be one or 2 mods posted to rootzwiki that arent on XDA but I havent really checked it out because a lot of it is outdated and the mods I use are posted here, on the S3 it was a whole different story.

As for trying AOSP, stock android, I would advise you do it just to see how you like it. I was new to AOSP with my S3, all my other phones had locked bootloaders to that point, and I gave it a try and absolutely loved it. All I ran on my S3 was ParanoidAndroid and MIUI. You may decide you dont like it as much as stock TW on the Note 2 but its always good to test it out and see for yourself because its such a different experience.

A few things to remember with AOSP are that when you flash it your SD card has to be FAT32, NTFS definitely doesnt work and I dont think exfat does either but I may be wrong with exfat. If you dont have your card formatted as FAT32 it will corrupt everything on your SD, of course when you format the SD card (if it isnt already FAT32) you need to make a backup of everything on it because formatting wipes the card. Also when switching to AOSP, 4.2 and up, it has a different file structure than 4.1 which is what we have. That means your stuff will be in a different location on your SD card after you flash an AOSP rom but it isnt hard to find. Also when you switch back to TW you have to flash a SD card zip, that restores the file structure to what it was when you were using Touchwiz, after you flash the rom.

If you want some suggestions I would recommend Cyanogenmod is the closest you can get to straight AOSP until someone builds straight AOSP for our phone,ParanoidAndroid is Cyanogenmod based AOSP that lets you change apps to different modes to looks like tablet or phone apps and looks excellent on this phone just because of its size, and Vanilla Rootbox is Cyanogenmod based (as are pretty much all AOSP apps unless its straight AOSP) AOSP rom with things taken or kanged from ParanoidAndroid and others.

I prefer Vanilla Rootbox and ParanoidAndroid on this phone just because they both have some amazing features that make this phone more of what it should have been in the first place IMHO.

The S-pen will still work on AOSP roms but it wont have the features it does on a TW based rom because it is dependant on TW. A remedy to that is GMD Spen control, you can get it from the Play store, a little over $5 if I remember correctly, but you can even use it on TW and it adds a whole slew of features that really should have been in the stock TW rom.

I may be forgetting something seeing as how I wrote this up for a friend a few days ago, he got his first android and it happens to be a Note 2. I really feel as if I did but can't think of what it is....

If you have any more questions just ask away and someone will answer them!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] crash613:
Thanks for the suggestions. Could you elaborate on the above. What stuff will be moved? Lots of stuff? will i even realize it ? does putting back just mean renaming folders?

What does "i have to flash a SD card zip" mean? Do u mean for the ROM or is there a way to restore file structure w/ some sort of hack or something?

Also, what do you think of Liquid Jellybean? I saw it available when looking at GooManager. Thought it would be a good one to check out. Version 2.3! it will be years before Verizon catches up to that.

Where can i find an example on Ril for exctracting the cell ID?
[General Topics] itsme:
then why do you ask where to get tracelogview, if you mean to ask how to get the cellid?

I think you should pay a bit of attention to what the subject of the thread is. you have 3 different questions of which you mix up the answers in all threads. that makes it kind of difficult to answer.

The exactly Question is How can i exctract the cell id on my Smartphone (no pcketpc phone edition but smartphone)?

I've read that tracelogview allow to read them.

Thank's for your patience.

sim card

Sprint rep said you can lock your sim. So it cant be used by someone else.

---------- Post added at 12:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:28 AM ----------

The UICC are Sprint cards they are not like the AT&T SIM cards. But they both can have PIN locks put on them to keep your data on them a little safer.

any info on how to lock it??
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] chris41g:
the menu item is to unlock the uicc slot for international sims OTA... thats how we originally unlocked the S4, by using an meid that was unlocked already, hitting that menu option, and going back to our meid.......

Almost Not Quite

I bought a Galaxy Note 3 which did not have any SIM card, I simply went into the local sprint store and they gave me a UICC SIM free of charge. Then after a little time with tech support on the line figuring out that they had incorrectly linked my new SIM to the old account and correctly linking it to the proper account for the Note 3 my LTE was up and running. Although I have heard as well that some locations they do run short on the SIM cards but keep calling some local stores and one can definitely be found at least from my prior experience.

On a less contradictory note, excellent explanation of the UICC SIM card usage in regards to accessing LTE
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] RayTrue04:
This is really inaccurate. You can switch the UICC SIM buddy. Even when you're doing the swap yourself over sprint.com you'll get a pop up alerting you the device uses a sim and if you want to use the original one that came with device or use another. Hope no one bought a sim less device on ebay and read this, you probably gave them a heart attack..

Also when the Note 4 and Note Edge where having signal problems many service centers were swapping out the SIM cards. I don't know why your brother was giving such runaround, a new sim would had his device up and running with lte. Sounds like your sprint store is ran by reps who know nothing.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] HikariNoKitsune:
AndroiBoi420 Now-a-days it depends on the device. If the carrier has a blank SIM, most phones 'now' will allow you to put it in. My brother's cases were back when LTE for sprint was just then becoming a 'thing'.

As for RayTrue04... I'm sorry, but that's completely accurate... you CAN NOT take the SIM card out of, say, a Galaxy S6 and put it into a Galaxy Note 5... It WILL, NOT, WORK. I've tried it, plenty of other people have tried it. IT. DOES. NOT. WORK. The SIMs are LOCKED to ONE device and ONLY that device. You CAN however, go off and get a BLANK SIM card and shove them in and they will work.

But in any case, my posting was about why locking the SIM card does absolutely nothing, because nothing personally identifiable is stored on them. So, if you sold the phone on eBay, and left the SIM in it, you're 100% fine, because the only thing that SIM card has on it, is the HEX key that allows the device to be identified by the network. But taking that SIM card out with hopes of just shoving it into your 'next device' will not work, and will just leave you frustrated and upset when you try everything you can to get it working. Every device that uses this type of SIM, has to have its OWN card, NOT some other device's card. Replacing it with a blank one is perfectly viable. But it just depends on your device, and if they have any around in stock to just throw at you anyway. Most sales/service reps are generally nice and will just give you the card if that's the case. But I do know of some who do everything 'by the book' and will charge you for the SIM AND its activation because that is what they are technically 'supposed to do'.

I've also successfully activated an LG G2's SIM on my Note Edge. They're not locked to one device. It just needs to be a Sprint registered SIM and deactivated at the moment of activating whatever device you plan on using. One thing is though, not all SIM cards are interchangeable with certain devices.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Archaites:
Just a bit more info on sim swapping, some sim swaps are compatable and some are not...if you swap a sim just call in to tech support for your provider and have your IMEI(essentially vin number of your phone) updated in there systems to avoid any confusion in provisioning or features, a common issue is inibility to access data on your device.

Sim cards are free of charge to replace through some providers such as AT&T.

Just a tid bit of info from your friendly neighborhood tier 3 tech support agent.

Uicc unlock??

So i asked sprint for an unlock. They said they granted the unlock for iphone6 an galaxy gs6. Gs6 says uicc now able to accept international sim, but when said sim put in nothing happens.

Thank you for the DETAILED answer to help those of us who do not understand a lot of the technological terms that most products come with nowadays and makes it difficult for regular people without a college degree to comprehend and even some like me who have an extensive college degree (but just wasn't my thing)! (A lot of regular people THINK they are knowledgable that really are not and then they get mad when the language isn't down to their level because it then becomes even MORE difficult for them to understand the technical product they want all their friends to think that they "know all about".)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] dragonhart6505:
For all the tl;dr out there...

UICC Sim Unlock is an option provided to unlock the sim slot for use outside of the US and is only prevalent on Sprint devices (and its prepaid subsidiaries) to provide LTE service while using a Sprint account.

Older UICC Sim Cards are only tied to the device they are activated with and are not usually to be swapped between phones. They carry only your access to the LTE network and do not hold any account or phone information. Newer UICC cards can be passed across devices for the same purpose if the new device is linked to the same account the sim was activated on from the original device. In most cases the sim is actually blank and only calls to the tower to allow LTE service because its more convenient than activating/reactivating a sim.

Selecting UICC Unlock sends a request to Sprint to unlock the sim slot for use with GSM carriers outside of the US, providing you have properly closed the associated account and paid off the phone (or else your still SOL) and cannot be used to grant access to US based GSM carriers because Sprint locked the sim slot and the phones capabilities out of the US GSM band spectrum. That is unless you search hard enough on XDA on how to do it properly, which since LP is hit or miss and nobody seems to have simple enough answers like "yes" or "no" to the questions about Baseband version (in the latest GSM unlock attempts anyway).

Still tl;dr for you? Basically its an almost useless security feature to stop you from jumping ship from Sprint service to their competitors. Unless your moving outside of North America or sending your (ELIGIBLE!) device across seas, don't worry about it because it is of no use to you
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] supergear:
Yet you can take your sim out and use it on a Nexus 6
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Kasheomagna:
This is illegal, companies are no longer allowed to lock the sim to their own devices. Thus the unlock messages everyone is getting on their devices.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] sand1303:
you can but only once it is deactivated with your old device and activated on the nexus. i have used a couple nexus devices on sprint and i just keep my sim card and use the same one when i get into a new nexus device. if the sim is still activated under a different device it won't gain u access in the nexus untill it is associated with that particular device. and not all sprint sim cards are compatible. that is why i try to keep my same one. when i sell or trade my nexus i always ask if they are gunna use it on a sprint account. they have said no so i remove it and keep it for my next nexus i pick up.

My note 4 wasn't working on the lte network so I took it to a Sprint store and they changed my SIM card for free and linked it to my account or phone or whatever right there in the store. My phone was working fine walking out the store.

I always keep my SIM card, and have been able to just put it in my new device, and call Sprint with the information from the phone, and they sync it, and I'm up and running. Just have to call and have them synced. ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] chuckh1958:
Not true. My wife recently dropped her Boost Mobile (MVNO for Sprint) G3 and broke the screen. I bought an identical G3 on eBay for less than the price of a new screen, inserted her old SIM (UICC) card, and successfully activated the new phone. LTE works just fine with the old phone's SIM card in the new phone. The activation process involves going to a boost mobile "switch device" page and entering the phone's IMEI #, and the # on the SIM card.

Before trying this I asked boost about doing that and they said it would work as long as the phone was the identical model.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Sharpact:
I looked at this advice myself as I was trying to find out why suddenly a pop up appeared this morning on my phone saying "attention, the UICC SIM is unlocked"! I had done nothing, just awoke ton this message on my cell! I've heard rumour of my carrier (Sprint) merging possibly with T-Mobile & wondered if this was unlocked by Sprint remotely for that event. Anyone know if I should otherwise be concerned that my device appears to have unlocked it on its own?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] bilgerryan:
That's strange.. I don't know, but I would probably be concerned. My brothers phone was recently hacked (a cheap ZTE Net10 phone) but they changed his Google account password and then factory reset his phone. He didn't have a backup account as this was his first smartphone and he is still locked out and can only receive calls. All from being logged into his work's public WiFi every day.

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] drbadass:
As you may have heard, Nokia basically got an injunction against the manufacturer of the HDR microphone used in the HTC ONE, that prohibits HTC from manufacturing new handsets with the mic and forces them to find a different and presumably inferior-tech microphone. They are allowed to sell out the stock that had already been manufactured with the HDR mic, though. (See here: http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/02/htc-hdr-mic-dropped/ )

Anyone know how to find out if your HW revision has this mic or doesn't?
