I read... alot! And every time I download an EPub book it puts the cover art into my gallary as a new folder. I have over 200 in there now! Is there a way to put them into a separate folder and keep the main gallary folder for just my photos - still have them work as far as displaying the art and download to the new folder?? Or perhaps have my photos go to a specific folder?

Create a .nomedia file in your ebook folder and it will skip that folder for scans.

I had to do that for quite a few locations to skip them.

I have been banging my head against the wall here..

I am trying to backup a phone that is going back to verizon and restore it to the new one they cross-shipped me (Same model).

When I go into Safestrap recover, the backup just isn't there!

What the heck, I've never had this problem with SS on my OG Razr MAXX.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deeje00:
Just create a backup using nanodroid

Sent from my PACMAN MATRIX HD MAXX
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mentose457:
Make a new backup. Be sure to name the backup.

Once the back up finishes reboot into the OS.

Use your file explorer to navigate to the TWRP folder.

Then go to BACKUPS. In BACKUPS there should be two folders. These folders have names with random letters and numbers. EX: TA26905GDQ.

The two sub-folders contain each backup. Look in both and find the old one.

Once you have found the old one, the one you want to restore, move it to the folder with the new back up.

Reboot to recovery and the old backup should be there for you to restore.

Enjoy...

So as the title states I need some help. I'm trying to get a phone and its an unlocked at&t s3 and I'm trying to figure out if it will work well on our T-Mobile carrier. Will I get 4g can I get SMS? Any help?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] serio22:
Yes, I'm using one right now and I get "4g" and 4g LTE as well.. "4g" might not have as good coverage depending on your area because it will use the 1900 frequency T-Mobile has recently started to roll out instead of the 1700 that T-Mobile mainly has for 3g/hspa.. But LTE will work just fine, and it is fast! :D heck you will even get WiFi calling as long as you flash a T-Mobile based ROM
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] skinzy98:
Can't you just flash a T-Mobile baseband? And also if it'd and at&t phone how can you flash a T-Mobile s3 ROM?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] serio22:
No do NOT flash a T-Mobile baseband.. Only stick with at&t basebands or bootloaders.. The only thing you can safely flash is Roms and kernels.. You can flash roms through recovery and most should work just fine.. And BTW there actually is a mod on the at&t thread to enable the 1700 aws, but the mod wipes after a reboot and you must do it every time you reboot.. It doesn't sound that bad, so you might want to try it out if you end up getting it and have bad or no 3g/h with 1900 in your area
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] skinzy98:
So I can flash a T-Mobile s3 room
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Yes as he said you can flash roms and kernels nothing else.

And dont be confused and think a rom is equivalent to firmware. Its not.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] skinzy98:
Well I know that I was just a little confused as to the way he worded it. So I've tried reading over their some but so far all I've come up with are old threads where people were trying to get 3g to work. Supposedly its permanent any idea how I can tell what frequency my location runs on
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
I'm pretty sure there is. I think it may be a dialer code that you can use to go in and test to find out. Cant remember for sure, but thought I'd mention it in case it helps someone else answer or helps your search.

If you aren't able to find anything ill try to remember to look later tonight.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] skinzy98:
If what I think this is says right here. https://t-mobile.jive-mobile.com/#jive-discussion?content=/api/core/v2/discussions/40516 and this says what I think.it says http://m.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s_iii_i747-4803.php with a at&t version I should be able to access tmobiles 4g and 4g late since its on the 2100 frequency
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Tmobiles hspa+42 and lte will be on the 1700 and 1900 bands. Not aware of tmob using 2100.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] skinzy98:
But doesn't the article say that they're moving 3g to 1900 and then 1700 will be for HSDPA+ and 2100 will be for lte
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
My bad, you were right. I had things a bit mixed up I guess!

Sorry for the confusion.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Though, they will only be able to offer hspa+42 on the aws spectrum I believe. And it'll only account for a small portion in the end.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] skinzy98:
So basically they're expecting most phones to support lte. Does the s3 from at&t support was?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] skinzy98:
*aws
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
That I'm not sure about. I want to say it does, but I'm not confident enough to say for sure.

the first one is the newest method and the one that won't stick after reboots.. the second one will downgrade the phone to ics, and people are saying that flashing a t999 recovery and then a tmo jb rom will still keep 1700 enabled but i haven't tried any of them
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] skinzy98:
Well you guys thanks for the help. Now I just have to actually find a new phone :D
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] skinzy98:
Hey guys I'm back with another question about that thread you posted. For one (I've been reading about it but for now am totally co fused) I will be able to flash any of the ROMs by is right so if I do the second method I can still flash 4.2.2?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] skinzy98:
And also which method did you use personally to get T-Mobile service. If your getting 4g then I will be following your lead
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] serio22:
I didn't do any of those methods, I got 4g right away because my area has been upgraded with the 1900 bands so I didn't have to that.. Also I think the second thread is the one that you can flash 4.2.2 and be OK, not sure about the first one so you might wanna ask in those threads to see which is better for you but I would say the second one would be better
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] lojak29:
Hebres the deal.... With the t999 and i747..

You can flash almost any T-Mobile ROM period onto i747 always with 4g .

The two phones literally are the same that's why everything is cross compatible.

Any T-Mobile 4.1.2 ROM will work on att s3 with WiFi calling.

I was on a custom att ROM when I got my i747 using my T-Mobile sim. When I drove thru a lte area it picked right up.

I had to make no changes or enable the aws feature.

I can flash any t999 ROM or tar file onto the i747 and its ready to go.

This also works on the att note 2 with a T-Mobile sim card.

I get 4g everywhere and lte in areas where it dropped wether its on a T-Mobile ROM or att ROM lte still works .

I asked a similar question with 100views and NO replies got sick of waiting so I started flashing away....

SO ...for anyone wanting to use T-Mobile lte on att s3.. Just buy the i747 make sure its carrrier unlocked and flash anything you want.

4.1.2 has WiFi calling

4.2.2 does not .

---------- Post added at 10:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:13 PM ----------

ALSO.. Wanted to mention you should reword the title

Its backwards think you mean T-Mobile working att s3 ..that would help viewers a lot , to better understand:thumbup:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] serio22:
You will not get 4g everywhere (3g/h) I know because a few months ago if I were to have an att phone in my area it wouldn't pick it up only edge because 1900 pcs wasnt fully launched in my area but now it does pick it up, I had even tried to put 1900 in network preference on my t999 and I would never get signal but now I do, so if you are in an upgraded 1900 area then you will get 4g on an att phone, and you will have no problem with LTE regardless if your area has been refarmed or not.. I think it even picks up LTE better than my sister's note 2 on T-Mobile.. So to summarize you will get 4g but only in a refarmed area unless you want to do the mods to enabled 1700 aws, and you will get LTE regardless
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bx10r:
I See no reason why as long as its unlocked. My daughters s3 is tmo but shes on at&t. No issues at all. If you have date issues verify your apn settings..good luck
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] serio22:
That's because the T-Mobile s3 has both 1700 and 1900 so it will work with att while the att s3 only has 1900 enabled.. If this wasn't the case there wouldn't be any mods on xda to enable 1700 aws on att s3.. You guys are making this a lot more complicated than it really is
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Lavell7298:
Question for you Serio. In regards to your last post, are you talking about the old SGH-T999 or the new SGH-T999L model? I'm asking because I'm debating on whether to get an Galaxy S3 or S4. I live in the same area as you do. I would rather get the S3 since it's cheaper than the S4 as well as more support for it here on XDA.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
His info applies to both models. And just so you know they don't sell the T999 anymore. Just the T999L.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] manofsteel1:
Our phones can do hspa on at&t butni don't know about the lte
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Lavell7298:
Thanks Doc. One more question. Does the SGH-T999V supports LTE? I'm researching online and I'm getting "yes" and "no" answers. I know this is the Canadian version of the S3. But I'm seeing that this version is fully compatible with T-mobile's network.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
I don't believe it will get lte. I don't have much data to back that up though. Ill see if I can't find anything later on.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] SuperAfnan:
Hey guys let me get this straight, so 3g will automatically work if it's refarmed to 1900. AT&T and T-Mobile roms are compatible with either a T-Mobile or AT&T S3.

But if we have an AT&T S3 and flash an T-Mobile Rom will AWS 1700 be automatically enabled? Or do we still have to do the mod? Sorry for the stupid questions I'm not trying to make it complicated.

Another small question, is UMTS on T-Mobile on the 1900 band?

And I have a HTC Amaze right now my AT&T S3 is coming in the mail you guys might see a rom or two from me since I'm a rom chef. :D I just need to get used to Samsung first.

Thanks in advance.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] serio22:
1) yes

2) no, you will have to do the mod

3) 1900 on refarmed

4) nice! :D
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] lojak29:
Lord o lord, listen up!

Any T-Mobile rom can be flashed on att s3 or n2

You can also odin flash a tar file. Ive done it,

You MUST NOT flash a T-Mobile baseband over an att baseband.

Wifi calling only works on 4.1.2 Absolutely Not 4.2.2

Only device that has wifi calling on 4.2.2 is the s4.

If you buy a stock att s3 or note 2 with a stock att rom

And its carrier unlocked all you have to do is punch in that little T-Mobile sim and you will get 4g hspa 1900 band where its refarmed only PERIOD.

And Lte where lte is available which is hit and miss cause its so New, I know ive had both i317 @ i747 twice over on T-Mobile service.

The aws mod is a joke especially for the att s3

The s3 and note 2 antennes still point to automatic* in service mode If you dial*#2263# they say to set your Lte antenna to lteb4 and or wcdma 1700 but the little astric* doesnt stick to them bands YOU MUST HAVE THE * next to the band chosen for it to work...so youll only get automatic* mode enabled, which points to whatever coverage the antenna sees! Instead of forcing it onto one single lte band..

The problem with the att s3 and note is the antennas are more hardware tuned to lean more towards att lte bands by default, regardless of tuning them in Service mode to force pull a specific Tmobile lte band It doesnt work.

Therefore youll always get a stronger 4g hspa and lte signal on a actual T-Mobile branded device over an att brand even tho they work in tmo 4g its still and always will be shabby in and out Data coverage.

Stick with your own carriers products for the best results. ...

This is true facts coming from a long time T-Mobile user on att unlocked galaxy's.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Don't take offense, but I think this needs to be explained a good bit better. You cannot simply just Odin flash any old .tar file. Doesnt matter what device you have, if you try to Odin flash anything more than a system.img and boot.img from a different model, you are almost certain to hard brick. The way you said it could imply otherwise unless the reader already knows it.

When using another devices roms, only use roms and kernels, nothing else.

WiFi calling only works on Touchwiz roms from your own carrier. It doesn't work on 4.2.2 because there is no 4.2.2 touchwiz for the s3. I know that's basically what you said but thought it'd be easier for others to understand the limitations this way.

For the most part I agree with the rest of your pist, but would add a few points. The T999 is capable of HSPA+42, while as I understand it, the I747 can only use up to HSPA+21.

Also, most lte devices from other carriers will probably use Band17 for LTE. Band 4 allows the use of twice as much band width per channel. Options here are 5, 10, 15, and 20mhz b/w per channel. On Band 17 only 5 or 10mhz is usable.

So I agree that it is always best to use devices built for your carriers network. Just adding to the KB so to speak!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] lojak29:
You put up a good argument and def valid statements, i guess I was explaining in rage, lol.

I Got sick of seeing noobs asking same questions over and over worried abou what they can flash.

I was just stating simply from a long time att unlocked user, what I know works hands on..Every att device I used on T-Mobile was just flat out weaker signal ,dropped data, tuning the bands to help att devices get better Tmo 4g and lte doesn't work as well as people assume...

VersuS using a T-Mobile brand device.

And I have flashed t999 tar on a i747 perfectly fine. I swear! !!!

Its just the baseband you don't wanna mess with.

If I use a t999 or t889 I get perfect strong signal no drops in same areas where my unlocked att s3 or note 2 would easily drop signal or drop to edge, that tells me that its merely the fact that T-Mobile brand devices will always get better signal from there own towers, regardless of doing the aws band mod or not.

Unlocked users be my guest, go for it, you won't be nearly as satisfied with a att phone Vs a T-Mobile phone
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] serio22:
I never did the mod so I can't say, but others were saying that it sticked for them and they got 4g where they didn't before, also forcing it to lte band 4 worked for me, I had the * next to the band that I selected and to me if seemed to pick up T-Mobile lte better than my sister's note 2.. You can flash some tar files like recovery but not all, that's why its better for non experienced users just stay away from them.. I was just talking from my experience
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Lol! Believe me, I do understand! And I knew exactly what your meaning was, just wanted to clear it up a bit because many people might have misinterpreted your statement. I only wanted to expand it to be safe.

Dealing with the tar file, all I'm saying is it wouldve been custom, correct? If for no other reason, the official firmware includes the modem which you said not to flash.

Let me be clear, I've never messed with an I747 so to that end I take your word on it. My experience with T999's has been quite different. For the most part we can flash the modem from other models such as the T999V or T999L, and I believe even the I747. It will not work but it will not brick either. However, every time I've heard someone try to flash T999 firmware to a T999L or T999V, or T999V to a T999 or T999L, or I747 to any T999 variant, it has Always ended with a hard brick.

This is why I said the only safe way to flash a tar file from another device is if it only includes the system and boot images. Not saying you weren't able to do so, just that when doing so to a T999_ its highly likely it'll brick.

Imo its just best to stay away from Odin flashing anything but official or root66 firmware unless you know what you're doing or at the least are only using things that have been confirmed safe by others.

Agreed!

Anyway, I wasn't trying to argue against what you said, just thought it shouldve been explained a little more is all. And I take what you say about unlocked devices on other networks as confirmation of what I always thought to be the logical conclusion anyway!

Thanks for your input on that btw!
