it's not obligatory to have a Hong Kong version of phone to flash a Hong Kong firmware, I have global phone but i've install this firmware, and it works perfectly, but if you want root, you need to have unlocked bootloader, BY THE TIME BEING the ROM is not rootable with locked bootloader...

but if you don't care about root, flash this firmware via flashtools, and it won't bring any problem :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] <Laharl>:
So I received a letter today.....

Dear Laharl,

In November 2012 we contacted you to make sure that you were aware of the terms of your voice plan.

As a reminder, the roaming terms and conditions for Sprint roaming-included plans are:

Not available with single-band phones, or to the customers residing outside an area covered by the Nationwide Sprint Network.

Sprint may terminate service if (1) more than 800 minutes, (2) a majority of minutes, or (3) a majority of data kilobytes in a given month are used while roaming.

As part of our last communication with you, we also pointed out that your level of voice roaming use violated the terms of our roaming-included service plans.

Our intent in contacting you previously to give you an opportunity to change your usage habits to be in line with the terms of your plan

Because your overall usage continues to exceed off network roaming limits in violation of your voice plan we regret to inform you that your wireless service will be terminated effective on July 9th 2013.

We understand that switching to another wireless carrier may be inconvenient, which is why we are giving you until July 9, 2013 to make the transition easier.

In addition, we will waive any applicable Early Termination Fee and monthly recurring charges for your voice plan on your last month's bill.

Please note that you will be responsible for all other charges reflected on your invoice for your account.

You may transfer or port your existing wireless number to another carrier. If you choose this option, you will need to initiate the transfer of your number with the new carrier of your choice before July 9,2013 because the number will no longer be available as of that date.

If you have any questions regarding your final bill, the adjustments we made to your account or transferring your number, please call Sprint Customer care, 7am to 7pm CT.

Sincerely,

Sprint.

So I called them and asked and they said that because I use 200 to 300 roaming minutes which is more than the 150 to 200 sprint minutes I use they are going to terminate the line even though I am also paying for 4 other lines and when I spoke with a rep they basicly said that I should be thankful that they are just removing the one line and not all 5.

If I didn't use 15gb a month on my main lines I would leave for AT&T which has 4G in my town.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] k3v0:
Sounds like you need to elevate. 300 roaming minutes is not excessive. Point out how much business you do with sprint, and that if they terminate that one line you will take all your lines to another carrier.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] <Laharl>:
So this is what that line used last month and they said we had almost 375 AM off network minutes

Anytime Minutes Shared 1,129 --

Any Mobile, Anytime Unlimited 6,575 --

Text Unlimited 7,761 --

Night & Weekend Unlimited 3,297 --

Picture Mail Unlimited 619 --

Sprint 3G Data Unlimited 493,279kb --

Sprint 3G Data Roaming See Terms 69,258kb -- Limit per Terms is 300MB (67.6348MB used)

Sprint 4G Data Unlimited 0 - (I'm Paying the 10.00 Premium Data since 2010 and still no 4g)

I talked for almost 2 hours to a rep who would not budge and said that even though they are forcing me out on July 9th they will pay the Early Termination Fee's (the contract runs out July First so there are none) and that I can not use the Device upgrade on the line either because if i do I will have to pay the fee for the line getting disconnected because I would not have the device for 6months.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] KEYofR:
I love how 3 years of paying for 4g without ever getting any 4g doesn't factor in at all. Nice. Big companies suck. I doubt AT&T or Verizon will turn out to be loving angels of mercy, but yeah I'd be pissed myself. ALL lines would go. Maybe only to a Sprint reseller like Boost though, so I could keep using my same devices.

The root problem though is universal and is simply market forces and the extreme difference between you and any bezillion dollar international company. They don't have to care, so they don't care.

There is only one way individuals (in a way) can bring a grievance to a big company and make them answer for it, and that's class-action lawsuits. And gee whaddya know? The last few years big companies have added "You agree you can't class action us. Or even sue us at all. Just non binding arbitration and only individually." right into their terms of service! Amazing eh? What a great gig it is to be a big company!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] trim81:
That does not sound excessive at all.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Compusmurf:
Hopefully you didn't use the 00001 prl. :)

However that being said, there are folks who would LOVE to be in your shoes right now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] lovekeiiy:
I forgot the the "limit" on the 3G roaming, but I've had months where I had no 4G used, because it wasn't available, had 3G roaming, and no issue. But I did have GB of data transfer on roaming, no issues.

I believe they have like a 500MB limit on international data roaming. Plus, I could have sworn, at least on the within the USA, you unlimited roaming voice and data, overall.

I found this for Family Everything plans

And based on the numbers you gave, you're not exceeding. You used approximately 69MB out of 300MB. So, I'm assuming it has to be voice or text where you're exceeding. The bill should break it down. If not, I would make them give you a break down, and do it for the last six months. The later should show a pattern. And if it does end up being true, then I would look at the coverage area and compared it to where that one is used on a regular basis. I'm thinking the phone frequents a big Sprint dead zone. Not sure how much ground you have to argue in that regard. But it the pattern shows it was just the two months, I would definitely argue they're being draconian over a situation that rarely occurs.

Do they black list the esn of your handsets or do they stay clean so you can sell the equipment? Id love to get booted sell my handets and move to a 4g carrier
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] joe1blue:
So when the termination occurs will you be forever banned from sprint? Because I use the PRL 0001 and I just wanted to know
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] <Laharl>:
I have no idea. I guess I can add a line again but loose that number. I never modified the phone at all but he works in a big warehouse and apparently it hampers his signal and that is the whole problem.

I still can't get over the rep telling me well we could have canceled all the lines but we are only canceling the one line so I should be grateful for that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] <Laharl>:
No the Esn isnt blacklisted because the rep said I could still use the Galaxy S3 on another line.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] <Laharl>:
according to everything I read on the forums here all they have to do is Root the phone and use the 1337 PRL and it will start roaming and in 6 months they will get the boot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Compusmurf:
Is that what you did? Use altered PRL to force roam?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] johntheman_692003:
I have no signal with sprint where I live. I rooted my galaxy note 2 and forced it to roam on the verizon 3g network. Me and another phone on my plan roamed for 2 years and used over 5gb a month on each phone streaming pandora and etc trying to get sprint to drop us. first I received a letter saying that they are watching my usage then about a year later finally got the letter that they are terminating me so I took my 3 lines and programmed my phones to pageplus.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jprecon:
Just curious....if you don't mind me asking... How much time did you have left on your contract when they terminated you?

Sprint service in my area has gotten terrible over the last few months (eventhough they are supposedly "upgrading" the network) and I'm starting to think about leaving, but I am only 5 months into my contract right now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] <Laharl>:
No the phone has never been rooted at all I didn't want to take the risk of getting into trouble but apparently it didn't matter.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] <Laharl>:
Contract runs out July 1st they are terminating me July 9th.

This is not my creation or work up. Just sharing this with the permission of FaithCry.

Here is a link to his thread ​

Many of you know about this mod already many may not. I love it!!! I've tried it on about 5 different AOSP based roms from Liquid to CM and RootBox so all the bases pretty much. It basically replaces the lock with an icon of your choice into framework-red.apk/res/drawable-xhdpi with out all the hassle :).

Click on the link to his thread to get to his website so you can downlaod the image of your choice to use

Here are the images for available icons for the LockRing mod that are on FaithCry's site.

​

INSTRUCTIONS​

NANDROID ALWAYS until you think you're comfortable or if you just don't give a F :p

Install an app called zipthemer from the play store

HOW DO I INSTALL THIS???

- First, USE ZIPTHEMER

- download the file to /sdcard/Zipthemer

- go open Zipthemer

- BEFORE ADDING THEMES UPDATE EDIFY

-> hit menu

-> update edify

-> browse...

-> browse to your rom's zip and click on it

-> it will return to the previous menu and then hit configure

-> EDIFY IS NOW CONFIGURED

- then it +Theme and navigate to the folder with the ring

- then change the name of the output if you like

- then click "Build It" and then make a back up.

- reboot into recovery and flash

- reboot

- ?????

- PROFIT!​

Make sure you do not have a theme installed (put it to system) and do not have "Dark UI" enabled

Should see your new LockRing mod in place now. If not then make sure the above stuff are not there. I have not run into an issue yet changed about 4 icons.

Here is mine real quick with a little Google Theme
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
Any more add ons

If anyone has any contributions to make please post them and we will try and get them and others added, this is just a nice way to give the phone a complete theme to your liking ANDROID BABY. The icon is 216x216 for our device XHDPI
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
So no one has any questions or comments or what their lock screen looks like now? That's great that no one is having any issues but prefer feedback lol, and ideas on some customs one to see if I can create something.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] uoY_redruM:

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
I appreciated it too when I found it. I want ideas to play with and try and get better with photo editing stuff to make custom ones. People either don't come to themes for aosp stuff or don't want to bother. Oh well lol.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] beyako:
Have you played around with the other mods on the original thread??? I did, and i even change the glow dots and much more to customize my illusion rom :D
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] beyako:
And this
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
Yup yup. This is why i love AOSP so much more and miss it so much haha.

Wait, where is the info to do that one?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] beyako:
In the original thread, the one you posted, same steps with zip themer.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
Of course it is lol. I got so caught up in the other stuff I missed out on other neat tricks haha. Thanks!!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] beyako:
You know what i've noticed?? Is when you change the theme in the theme chooser the lockring and the glowdots comes back to stock idk why, its weird im a check the original thread and see if they have a solution for it, does it happen to you?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
Changing the theme will change those depeneding on the theme, themes contain themed apk such as phone.apk and framework-res.apk where your custom icons will be over ridden.

Hi,

When i try to add new account it returns an error:

"There was a problem communicating with Google servers.

Try again later"

Any idea? I used Hideman VPN.

Edit:

I was getting this error after typing password and next.

I don't know if it has any effect but turned off my phone, removed sim card

connected via VPN again, just entered google play with existing account and it asked a prompt from me for terms of usage.

Updating google play country

Ok so I contacted google today as I was trying to download an app that was restricted in the previous country I was in.

I had previously tried using vpns etc with no luck (LG G3)

Since this is my first post I am not permitted to post links yet, so add https:// to the start of each url

Below is their troubleshooting guide to fixing the issue, I'm assuming that putting in any country you like would allow you to access that countries store.

The content available in Google Play varies by country, and we use your home address in your Google payments service account to help determine which version of Google Play you see.

If you're having issues viewing your country's version of Google Play, please try the following troubleshooting steps (ideally using a browser on a desktop or laptop computer, but on a mobile device will work also):

1. Sign into payments.google.com and click the Settings icon on the left.

2.Click Edit next to the "Name and Address" and update the address (please note this is different from the "Address book" which holds shipping addresses).

3. Open the Google Play website and navigate to any paid item available for download at play.google.com/store/apps.

4. Click to begin a download until you reach the 'Accept and buy' screen (no need to complete the purchase).

5. Close Google Play and clear your browser cache if you're on a desktop or laptop computer.

6. Clear the cache and data of the Google Play Store, Google Play services, and Download Manager.

7. Wait 30 minutes.

8. Re-open Google Play. You should now see content that matches the country in your home address.

If these steps don't resolve your issue, you can also try purchasing a paid app and refunding it within the 2-hour return window in place of Step 4 above; however, returns like this can only be done in the Play Store app at this time.

If the country for your Google Play account still hasn't updated, please remove and re-add your Google account from your device.

Hello,

I cannot get my USB Host Mode to work on my Note II... I have tried various ROM's/Kernel combo's, and the apps you can get in the play store. (USB Host Controller). I've also tried lots of devices, and provided the external power when it was needed. When I got this phone I wanted the stock ROM of it, and didn't even try the USB Host mode. All the ROM I've tested have been stock based, that shouldn't be the issue.

I know the USB-OTG adapter works because I've tried it on other phones, with the same devices I can't get to work on my own phone.

My Rom is CleanROM Ace 4.9, which is latest. Kernel is SaberKernel_23, also latest.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] DoctorQMM:
What kernel are you running? USB-OTG functionality must be enabled in the kernel. I'm running Adam.Kernel v2.5 (for N7105/I317) and when I connect my flash drive to phone (via USB-OTG cable) you should see two messages in the top notification area: "USB connector connected" then "USB mass storage connected". Then open your favorite file manager and you should see another storage device "UsbDriveA" (the other two of course are "sdcard0" (internal) and "extSdCard" (external). When you click on "UsbDriveA" you should see the files on your flash drive. Two things to check: does your kernel support USB-OTG? (I'm pretty sure when I was on the CleanROM v4.9 (N7105XXDMC3) kernel, it also worked. Second thing to check is the cable... I see you mentioned it works on other devices, but I had same problem. Bought another USB-OTG approved cable (less than 6 bucks) and it worked flawlessly on the Note2.

By the way, there is a bug in the 4.1.2 firmware when you disconnect the cable from phone (even using the drop down notification and selecting "USB mass storage.. Select to remove...." your phone won't deep-sleep again unless you reboot (leaves a partial wakelock called "USB Unmounter" (something like that). However, when ready to disconnect cable, do it this way "Menu--> System Settings --> Storage --> and scroll down to "USB OTG storage"... then select "Unmount USB OTG storage". This will safely unmount usb cable storage and allow phone to deep-sleep again without rebooting. Hope this helps.
