[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gruuvin:
Thanks everybody for the replies.

We tried all sorts of APN settings, but there seems to be a larger issue here causing problems on many or all Google Edition S4 phones on AT&T's network, and that is the IMEI numbers of these Google Edition phones register with AT&T as not supporting LTE and therefore AT&T's data plan doesn't have LTE enabled for those devices. Many owners of Google Edition phones are having this issue, and are solving it by getting the IMEI number in the system to register as a demo with slightly different numbers. Not all people with Google Edition phones are having this issue, because they are just using a SIM card from a previous AT&T phone that was already properly registered with LTE capabilities.

Seems like AT&T just isn't ready for these new Google Edition phones, and the customer service reps are not usually tech. savvy enough to figure this out.

I might add that I myself am on the T-Mobile network (this post was for my friend on AT&T), and I generally get LTE speeds in excess of 30Mb down and 20Mb up here at work where I get 3 out of 4 bars of signal. In the AT&T store nearby, I got 2/4 bars signal and my speed tests still beat the pants off the demo model AT&T had, which got 3/4 bars signal. I say this because I am paying only $100/month for unlimited everything on TWO 4GLTE phones with T-Mobile, while my wife was paying $120/month for the same with AT&T for only ONE phone. The way AT&T garners exclusive deals on phone model variants that we should all be able to purchase and jacks up the prices of service to double that of the competitors, it's time for people to jump ship and force them to become more competitive.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chahk:
I'm in the same boat. My previous phone (Galaxy Nexus) was not LTE-capable, so after getting a new SIM card for my new i9505g, it's only connecting at HSPA speed. Online chat with AT&T rep wasn't very fruitful. They are saying that the phone is showing up as "unrecognized device" and is causing the issue, and there's nothing they can do about that.

I am about to take a trip to an actual store to see if they have more knowledgeable staff there. Any tips or tricks (or super-secret handshakes) I should know about while talking to them?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdd543:
Yeah put your sim in an LTE capable att device, have them add the imei and you'll get the LTE plan. You should be good after that. Othwerwise, have them add a dummy imei or one from a display phone. Good luck at the store as this will probably blow their mind.:good:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chahk:
Thanks for the tips!

It went surprisingly well. The rep knew exactly what the problem was (he figured it was a phone shipped from overseas) and went the dummy IMEI route. Within 10 minutes I had LTE.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdd543:
Nice one. Glad you got someone that knew what's up!

finally got LTE on AT&T

Hey all! I have been scouring the internet trying to get my LTE to work for the past two days I have used every APN I could find as well as downloaded ther notification toggle app to try to enable LTE.

at one point I did have a LTE data plan but I guess not anymore...

anyways I went on the my att.com account and I somehow got to two different technical support chat windows. The first time I gave him my real IMEI# from my I9505G and he couldn't add the LTE plan because it was not recognized as an ATT phone. I then got a friends ATT phone she is no longer using that has/had LTE on it and after telling me it didn't work, then finally on the third time using 'technical support' she didn't ask for any IMEI number at all just told me it worked.

(I think it was the live chat I found on the support section of my AT&T or something) I am only mentioning this because of the three times I was on live chat I got one texct survey this morning (I was on live chat last night 3x)

I gave all 1's out of 10 (worst possible) but mentioned the chat person was friendly and that I was just unhappy with AT&T.

AT&T then called me this afternoon about the survey and asked if I wanted them to fix the issue..... Was this a real question?

I said yes and now I have LTE working great using the default phone APN that was on the phone from the factory.

Hope this helps some ATT users!!!

I have rooted my s3 flashed the siyah kernal, installed touch cwm6, flashed the jkay framework and flashed the cm10.1 nightly to the second rom for dual boot.

Is there a way to enable my phone to recieve ota updates?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
OTA updates are only updates. They are not entire roms. no a Samsung OTA update will not work on non Samsung ROMs like CM. Its like trying to play an Xbox game on a playstation
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ads2996:
I still have the stock rom which I use as my main rom
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrismast:
OTA only works uprooted with original status on stock Rom, hence that's what you have to do if you want them back. Guides are in the stickies.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ads2996:
So to get ota updates back I have to unroot?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
You would need to reset flash counter and flash a stock ROM officially, yes.

You could just flash custom TouchWiz ROMs instead though.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ads2996:
Ok thx, I was just wondering what actually caused it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Pretty much everything you did, if you did them on their own, would still have caused it.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smokie365:
Hey everyone

Just a quick question regarding the camera app on the note 2.

My phone is standard, not rooted or anything loaded.

I have noticed that when I load the camera app and take a picture in landscape mode (Phone held sideways)

the picture does not display on the full screen. It has a black border either side..

Why would I loose a 3rd of my screen to black borders.

Thanks in Advance

Graham
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Televinken:
I suppose you have set maximum resolution, & then it won't fill the screen (because of different aspect ratio).

The simple "solution" is to reduce the resolution one notch, and voilá; the picture WILL fit the screen....

If you don't mind shooting pictures at a lower resolution, that is....

;)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sandata:
There are 3 wide resolution to choose from to consume all the display. 6mpix is the highest

Cheers everyone..

Dropped down to 6m and its all good now
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D3_:
If you shoot at 8mp it's in a 4:3 aspect ratio so the sides of the screen are black because there's no data there. If it filled those sides then you wouldn't see what you were shooting at the top and bottom as the top and bottom of the preview would be cut off. If it really bothers you you can shoot at 6mp as others have said which is a 16:9 aspect ratio and won't have the black borders. There shouldn't be any difference in quality and you can always crop your 8mp photos into a 16:9 resolution afterwards if you want to use 8mp.

According to this post it should just be under system settings:

That phone should be able to play games just fine the GPU in the MediaTek MT6589 SoC is the same one used in the Exynos 5410 Octa and is pretty darn powerful. Plus the other specs on the phone will help with gaming as well. Overall the phone should do just fine for gaming.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r8revealed:
Well with many phones nowadays coming out with 1.5+ GHz I guess this could handle some games (I don't know about those CPU's and gpu's). 4GB of internal storage doesn't seem a bit enough but I guess since you'll have expansion priveliges it shouldn't be a problem. One concern is the 960x540 resolution on a 5" screen. I'm not sure how well that would work out :p

I would recommend installing kies from samsung and trying to flash the firmware with them. That should fix it no matter what and make sure that you do have the right drivers installed. Also make sure you have the right version of odin running. Here is download link for kies on PC (I assume you have PC) http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/SW/201306/20130612104232657/KiesSetup.exe just install, plug your phone in and hopefully it recognizes it. Even if it doesn't, it might install some drivers that make odin work. Let me know if it fixes it
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aadil.m:
samsung kies dont detect the device... its says device not responding, reboot ur device

hi all

loving the new boot animation from Google Play Edition, so i ported it and added a samsung galaxy note 2 logo. and a s3 version is available too

here are some of the screen shots

for more screenshots or the whole bootanimation preview, please go to Google Play Galaxy Note 2 boot animation mod - http://ykkfive.blogspot.com/2013/07/google-play-galaxy-note-2-boot.html for now

hope u like it

EDIT: it is available for download now from the link above, plus a N7100 (no lte logo) version too. mirrors and instructions will be added later, in case u need it

EDIT2: this is NOT a cwm zip. its the boot animation file only, just put it under /system/media/ or /data/local/

requires root and a rom with custom boot animation support

EDIT3: here is a low resolution sample. for a full and high density version pls refer to the link above

click on the attached IMG at the bottom if the animated gif doesn't play

hope u will like it

just put it (dont unzip) with the exact filename under /system/media/ or /data/local/ will do if your rom supports custom boot animation. no need to clear cache

if u still.cant see it, probably your rom doesnt support custom boot animation like stock rom . else, see if the rom maker provides any hints to make it happen or u will have to enable custom boot animation manually

i suggest you to read this post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=31833122&postcount=4 which shows how to enable custom boot animation. it is quite simple and i have read one of the scripts and it should be ok. so may be you can follow the steps there to enable/test custom boot animation with your rom. note that pls be very sure what you are going to do and do a backup before

Can anybody please help me. I've searched aloot. It would be reallyappreciated.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rirere:
Have you tried using fastboot flash recovery <downloaded recovery>? If not, full stop, go search for a downloadable recovery for your version of the Nexus 7, and try that.

You're also a long, long way from being bricked, so don't use "brick" as a search term.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GedBlake:
Hi, rolehommie...

If can you still access the bootloader, you're just softbricked (not hardbricked). You're just bootlooping.

Download a recovery (CWM/TWRP) to your computer, hook it up to your N7 via USB... boot the tablet into the bootloader (from power off, VolDown+PowerOn), then flash the recovery.img as per [MENTION=4759643]Rirere[/MENTION]'s instructions.

Fastboot doesn't need USB debugging enabled.

(USB debugging is only needed for ADB commands when Android is fully booted.)

All you need is fastboot flash recovery <name-of-recovery.img>

Good luck.

Ged.

[HTC One S] Tateh:
First of, a bunch of thanks to you for helping me get from a complete and utter noob to a just complete noob. Managed to root, install roms and get out of a LOT of soft bricks (i just don't give up!) with your awesome help, all by searching older posts. However, this time i find myself in a pickle.

I own an HTC One S C2 with Hboot 2.0.9, had stock ICS when i bought it with no option to update to JB (which is why i rooted it in the first place). Something about this particular version of the phone not being updated by HTC global, which i found out about after i bought it, duh. Anyway. I've tried installing JB roms from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2239265 with no luck. Phone just keeps getting into HTC logo screen loops. Right now i am on backtobasics v3 rom. Here's how i tried installing them JB roms and also the rom i am using right now (using TWRP 2.4.1 because newest version wouldn't work with backtobasics rom):

(note: some roms had sliiiightly different directions, i just followed each and every one's description closely)

1) Download Rom.zip

2) Extract boot.img from Rom.zip to fastboot folder

3) Enter Recovery

4) Mount SD card

5) Copy Rom.zip to SD card

6) Unmount

7) Wipe data, system, cache, dalvik cache and factory reset

8) Install Rom.zip

9) Reboot Bootloader

10) Go to fastboot USB mode

11) dem commands: fastboot flash boot boot.img then fastboot erase cache then fastboot reboot

12) BOOM! HTC LOGO LOOPS!

I've also tried installing a RUU but i couldn't find any for my CID. Then i thought about getting a SuperCID but, frankly, i scrached that thought the minute i saw the how to do it thread. Here's the phone info

Mkay, since i got no answer i went back to searching again! Unfortunately, i still have no asolution to my problem :(

From what i understand i have to: find a RUU to get from android version 4.0.3 up to JB version. Then i will be able to flash JB roms. But there is no RUU for CID BSTAR301.

I did find a thread with nandroid backup for a BSTAR301 which updates the version without a RUU but it was for HTC One X, i guess i shouldn't use that at all.

I am thinking about doing a SuperCID to install a RUU, then get back to my actual CID and flash a custom JB rom..

Would appreciate any advice :)
