[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lxhotboy:
Dude you need to chill out. Just because someone may know more that you on a topic dont get your pride hurt. Again I have a straight talk phone and a Galaxy S3 on verizon. The reception is the same. My straight talk phone is on the verizon network. With that being said. How could my reception be bad when compared to my wifes verizon phone if we are on the same towers. DUH!!!!!! I have been using straight talk for 3 months and laughing at ever person with a ATT, Tmobile or Sprint phone. I have better reception as long as i have a straight talk phone made for Verizons network. Which is the most reliable network period.

Whether I live in your area or not is completely irrelevant. If Verizon works best for you. Fine. If Att is best in your area. Fine. Just make sure your phone is on the right network when you go Straight Talk.

As for whoever says Im wrong bc you may have a problem with your EGO. LOL Keep paying double for the same service, coverage, and RECEPTION. Common sense is hard to come by for those who you cant tell anything. LOL

As far as comparing a Thunderbolt to an Iphone 4. This takes someone who knows how to root, jailbreak use custom roms, overclock and get the most stable software available for a phone. Apple OS is extremely stable. Been there and done that. Thunderbolt was crap. Until Liquid Smooths. I am crazy for comparing a Iphone 4 to MY Thunderbolt bc my phone out performs every stock iphone 4 period. Iphone people are brainwashed. My son has a Iphone 4s and now he hates it and wants a galaxy bc he sees the things a Android is capable of and Iphones are not. An iphone is a limited experience. Had two and sold them.

Any Straight Talk phone on Verizon network has identical coverage as a Verizon phone. The straight talk phones using Verizon towers have a model number that begins with a "C" You have to do your homework first on which phone you are going to purchase so that you know what network you will be using. You can go with any towers you want. Sprint, ATT, Verizon. Etc....The experience was bad bc you switched your network when you went Straight talk. Dont switch towers and keep your money in your pocket.

My advice is to get a Straight Talk phone on Verizon network and keep your money in your pocket.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bitemeoftn:
I see you said you're using an HTC Thunderbolt on Straight Talk if I'm reading that correctly. Would you mind explaining exactly how you did that? I'm looking to do the same thing. I've seen a few things about getting an existing CDMA (donor) phone from Straight talk and modifying the MEID, but I've seen a few other things that say that they catch on and boot you from the network. I'm looking to do this for a friend so I don't want them to waste the money setting it up if they're only going to be kicked not long after doing it. Thanks in advance for any advice in this situation.

I'm running the latest PAC Rom (gsm version) and every so often the notification bar will disappear as well as the wallpaper. Also the app switcher will not work.

I have searched Google, asked in the PAC thread but have still not come across a solution.

I have run other jb 4.2.2 roms without this problem.

A reboot doesn't fix it but some times it will just reappear after a random amount of time.

If anybody has any ideas what causes this or how to get the notification bar back would be grateful.

I tried doing some research but with no luck. I wanted to ask if there is a way to flash a completely stock ROM I download straight from the Samsung site using maybe CWM or Odin. And how would I go on to have it rooted? I've just been having issues even with the stock debloated ROM available so I want to give this a try. Thanks in advance for any feedback and help

Hey thanks. Wouldn't it be nice to post your help on this thread so others that may have the same question can see?

[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Jserrano56:
I

So first register at www.sammobile.com, then search SGH-T769 under firmware and download the August 2012 ICS or The Feb 2013 ICS Firmware, wait for the download to finish (took me 30 minutes) then extract which ever firmware zip you downloaded then using Odin click on PDA and select the .md5 file which is located in the extracted ICS Firmware Folder that you've downloaded from sammobile.com

Download the PIT file here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1919228

Click on PIT in Odin and then select the one downloaded from the link above

then make sure re-partition isn't checked and start the flashing process after it is done flashing and reboots you'll have stock ics to root it simply follow the instructions over at the root ics stock thread found here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1919228

This will flash a custom recovery and once the recovery is flashed using Odin reboot into recovery and flash the superuser.zip then you'll have Rooted Stock ICS Firmware

*BOOT LOOP MIGHT OCCUR*

To fix boot looping after flashing stock ICS just boot into stock or custom recovery and wipe data and cache then reboot and you're good to go.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] anactoraaron:
The only thing I will add here is that you don't need the .pit file (it also eliminates the chance of accidental re-partition). Just use the .tar.md5 file as the pda and flash. Also, there isn't any chance of boot looping when flashing the file from the samfirmware site. First boot will take up to 10 minutes.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Jserrano56:
The PIT I wasn't sure if it was needed or not so I always used it just in case and actually I waited patiently and my phone did bootloop.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] LiveFaster:
do i still need to use the .pit when rooting?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Jserrano56:
For rooting yes
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] anactoraaron:
Not for ICS you don't. In fact, you only need the .pit for flashing CWM.

For rooting GB 2.3.x then you need the pit.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dwitherell:
To be honest even that's debatable - I haven't used it the last several times flashing cwm via odin. Ymmv of course :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AutomaticFailure27:
Hey there. I have been, for the past few days, attempting to find a mms.apk that works well (if not better) than the standard PA one, with no success. Currently, I am using BlackBean8's mms.apk, which has all the custom features, split messaging, quick reply, etc, anyone could want. Only issue is that it does not play nice with HALO (Jumps back to homescreen when opened) along with some minor issues in the settings portion. I even attempted to mod/add code into an apk, but that proved severely difficult

I am wondering if anyone has had any success with an alternate mms.apk that has a few key features:

Split sms (over 160 characters)

Change to mms after so many sms

Possible theming or inverted apk.

Works well with HALO w/o reverting back to home screen.

Any help will be appreciated, it's no issue running BB8, but since I am on PA 3.60, why not use the HALO feature?

I think I may have finally done it. I flashed the latest slim rom (vers 6) today, booted into the ROM and set it up. No problems. Then I flashed faux mainline kernel. I followed the instructions for the kernel install, and hit reboot as last step. The phone shut off and did not reboot. I am now unable to turn on, boot into recovery, or download mode. When I attempt to connect to the PC to try and ODIN back to stock, the phone will not connect to the PC. I have the latest Samsung drivers installed and have connected to my PC previously with no problems. I know I downloaded and installed the right version for my phone, I have flashed kernels many times before.

Am I screwed now? I have insurance on the phone, but really would like to get the phone back from the grave if at all possible. Any help offered would be greatly appreciated.

Possibly ... Your kernel tells your phone what to do and how to do it ... If you can't get Odin to connect there's a big issues but I've never flashed a wrong kernel so research around a bit for more info ... You can't get into download mode or recovery mode??

how to come back to s-on????
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Okay this is weird but you're trying to get ics on your phone right??

What you need to do is go to the general section and then read the guide for international amazes for how to upgrade to ics.

You simply can't flash a custom ics rom until you get s off super Cid and then flash the ics firmware package!

I think you're making a mistake because you're on gb and you haven't yet flashed the firmware package in the bootloader.

You shouldn't be factory resetting from bootloader, that's probably what reset your s off but you need to see that guide aj made for us with the international amazes so you can get the appropriate files.

Good luck. Hope it helps :thumbup:

Hi All,

Today I installed the wrong firmware for my acer e350.

It did the install successfully, and when I need to press the start up the phone nothing happens.

When I connect it to the PC the small light lights blue and the battery is fully charged.

What i did is....some will laugh and call me a n00b... but who don't try will never learn... and get their fingers burn.:cyclops:

Anyway.

With the Update package (OS_Acer_Acer.AV041.E350.1.000.23.WW.GEN1S_A40I_A) unzipped and replaced the content in the "ROM" dir.

not smart but I got told it could work, but not in this case.

I ran the EUU.exe and all went well, install succeeded.

But phone wont boot anymore, not to Recovery too.

The ROM i used is the ( Xtreamer_Mobile_ROM_3.1-FOR_PC_FLASH_Tool ) i found on internet.

I am also not able to install the Root and CWM ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1899736 ).

Looks like the phone is dead thou I get the small blue light, so there is some life in it.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] colton22:
I have found a good work around for those of you who may enjoy more usable space on your screen. With the screen the S4 comes with it only makes sense to use it. Only follow these steps after you are running on Hyperdrive ROM successfully (I am guessing this will work with other roms as long as Xposed Framework can be installed).

Background Work (no major changes yet)

1) Open the app Hyperdrive Control

2) Navigate Custom Settings > Advanced Mods > Framework Installer

3) Click Install/Update

4) Select the tab 'modules' from the top

5) Check all the boxes you see (I had 3)

4) Click Reboot

Let's get started

1) Reopen Hyperdrive Control

2) Navigate Custom Settings > Advanced Mods > Per App DPI Settings

3) Select Google Keyboard

4) Turn the switch to ON

5) Enter 160 for DPI, 100 for Font and check the box labeled 'xlarge res'

6) Click save and click yes.

7) Repeat steps 4-6 with the apps Swype and Samsung Keyboard

8) Make sure you followed the above steps then continue

9) Now find an app called Android System from the list and select it.

10) Enter 280 and don't change anything else (I don't know what you would be doing so I stayed away)

11) Click save and click NO.

12) Restart and enjoy.

I went back and changed System UI to 340 as I didn't like how small the notification bar became. Also recommending ExDialer as the stock keypad won't 'stretch' and lastly as a must, look into a good launcher. I am using NOVA Prime.

If you want to undo changes you can simply turn everything 'Off' and click Save and No. Then restart.

Hopefully this helps some!

If I am missing anything or if anyone wants to add more detail let me know! Side note: random but AOSP helper was installed on my device also allowing easy toggle from 3G to 4G with JuiceDefender...

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jeffreycentex:
Has anyone tried changing the overall system DPI and then changing just the misbehaving Samsung applications back to stock (i.e., Contacts/Dialer, Camera)? I pretty much manually set all of my apps to between 320 and 340, but the Notification dropdown is way too big. (Email and Gmail both at 320 in order to become usable).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] KCP100:
This made my launcher grid super tiny and the keyboard is unusable it is so small. I can imagine how some slight DPI adjustment could be good, but this is aweful!

that being said, I will use this method to adjust things how I would like them.

I'm glad it worked well for you guys but both of those changes made things worse for me. I put it back on stock and am very happy with it.
