[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Ziken:
i hope i got here in time.

T-Mob won't unlock your phone for three reason:

1. you don't have any outstanding balance

2. the devices has to be used on your line for 1 or 2 weeks

3. your line has to be in good standing and active for 40 days.

But if anybody who has t-mob tried to call and get the imei unlock code for your phone, i wouldn't suggest it as they may either have to send in the bills that shows you paid full price for the phone or the devices is used on their line for 7 days.

Also, from what you're stating, you probably didn't communicate clearly with T-Mob store rep, but sometime, you just have to find the right person, tell them stright off what happen and keep it simple and you'll be clear.

and as for the $200, i'm not surprised they had you put it in, and you DO have credit scores. they can come from any sources. the Public Library keeps one, getting a loan from any sources used under your SSN will affect your credit scores. any past debts unpaid will affect it as well. renting a house also affect it.

and i'm not sure, but if they're suppose to put it back into your account, and it haven't, it normally mean that someone screw up. and if i were you, i'm certain it isn't T-Mob that screw you over but the local place. if they have to call customer services, that mean they're a 3rd party store representing T-Mob. I would suggest you head back to the original place you got your phone and plan and speak to the person in charge. they might be the one refusing to give you the money, not t-mob.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] DiViNEX:
What I meant when I said I didn't really have a credit score was because I never really had any bills under my name at the time of signing up with t-mo.

Trust me I communicated with them just fine...the person who I talked to in the store was the person who set me up with them, she's a really nice lady, so I know it wasn't her doing. I had originally called customer service to get my deposit back. They sent in the requst to fund my bank account originally. The lady at the t-mo store did everything correctly and showed me exactly what she did on the computer and I even talked to one of the account specialists.

It was T-Mobile being pricks. They didn't want to give me the money or at least not the whole thing, which was clear from what they were doing. They stated my bank account not being eligible in an automated message and because it wasn't "eligible" for absolutely no reason they put the money in my t-mo account instead and paid that months bill before I could even do anything and there was still 13 days till i had to pay the bill. Then denied my request to get my money back that they used to pay the bill, and denying the cancellation fee request for crappy unreliable service and telling me in a letter that I can go out in my car or the sidewalk to call and use 4g which still didn't work all that great outside.

This is definitely T-Mobiles fault not customer service. There money hungry a-holes and don't care for the customer as a whole.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Ziken:
Huh. you and i have two different experiences when it came to dealing with T-Mob. They tried to overcharge me once, but they credit my account.

I guess, our two experiences are different.

However, I would suggest you go speak to that lady and ask her what happen if you unlock your phone to use on other network if you still have outstanding account with T-Mob.

Hi!

I have little problem with Phonebook app , because if I imort contacts list , I haven't contacts list in phonebook , still is option import contacts , in billings are contacts.

Any Fix for this? This is in Xperiment 3.0 but in Jelly Bean 142 is too.

Sorry for my bad english :)

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
where are your contacts stored?

On google, sdcard or sim card?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Lowriderhook:
I experience the same problem with the xperiment 2.9 rom. But i change to stock deodexed and the problem desapears.

I try to import from SIM and from a copy on the SD, and same result. It's a possible bug from the dark dialer??

All the process ok, all done right, but don't have the contacts on the phone...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Try backing them up and syncing with Google account

I recently hard bricked my galaxy s4 ive only had the phone for less than 5 days I can't claim it to insurance nor return it because I bought it from a friend. It won't turn on and none of the buttons work. I was trying to unroot my phone and return to a stock kernel and firmware. Is there anything I can do if its hard bricked to get it in download mode. I've already tried making a usb jig and it didn't work. I'm at a loss. I don't have the money to get a new phone or pay for someone to fix mine. Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HS™:
Sorry to hear abt it

i see u already tried couple of things.. have u also checked if the battery u using is charged or its completly dead may be phone is not charging the battery and none of the buttons are working coz of it possble charge with some adapter / use new battery charged etc

i myte be wrong just thinking of some possblty
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] njgautier:
I tried a different battery as well as different cables and chargers all with no luck. I'm almost 100% sure this phone is hard bricked. I don't understand why a phone would be made that can essentially go into a bricked mode that is ridiculous even if you root it. There should be some type of fail safe boot mode to restore back to stock settings.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saywhatt:
using a usb jig will not help you if you have it hard bricked. usb jigs will only work on soft bricks.. so basically what you need now is someone to JTAG it (idk if jtags work on the S4, but afaik, most of the galaxy devices are revived via jtag)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] njgautier:
Well I found out my phone was stolen from a Verizon retail store so I'm going to return it I traded my iphone 5 for it and now the piece of ___ that traded me for it is acting like they didn't know so im pretty much screwed.

Get the police involved, or at least theaten to do so and get your phone back. Even if the "friend" claims they didn't know, they participated in the exchange of stolen goods and can be prosecuted despite having no knowledge of the crime.

What a "friend" I been there done that.. I learned and moved on.. moral of the story

never buy used phones unless you are 110% sure where it came from.

Good luck bud, I also have a bricked S4 but its softbricked so i can still access download mode. :victory:

Hi!

I've problem which waterproof when after water test I open back cover i can see some water on "this" black near the camera and around back cover.I am worry about this but my for now work fine i have one. FC in setings and one lag in yt video.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] bhz21:
Hi there!

Don't worry! (I think... lol)

I have the same "issue"...

I think it's normal.. You should be worried if you see water get inside the "orange area", where the battery is.

I wash my phone once a week and when i finish, i dry it with a towel and open the back cover to dry some little drops of water that entered the camera and lower area, as you said.

Always make sure the back cover and connections are really closed and it should be fine! :D (I hope! :p )
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Steven How:
If I open the back cover alot,does it effect the waterproof feature? Since I dun have enough memory for my stuff so I keep swapping sd card..:o
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Ghost4Fun:
Thank you all Now i am so happy;)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] bhz21:
Mine seems to be ok, after opening and closing it with some frequency... I think we will be able to see some sort of "hole" if the back cover starts to fail... but idk... :confused:

You're welcome Ghost4Fun! :good:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] thedisturbedone:
Yes it actually might. No seal would last forever. So be a little careful. Try to swap as little as possible or get a larger sd card.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Steven How:
Well...I swap battery and sd most of the time..since the my v can't stand my usage,waiting for my ebay battery cover..then I keep the original in box.. :/ :(
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] thedisturbedone:
Well honestly I don't know the build quality of your phone so I can't comment on how long it will last. I wasn't trying to scare you or anything, was just saying that any lock/seal will deteriorate over time with usage. But maybe it would last so long that you wouldn't have to worry. :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Steven How:
I have contact xperia care,abt this issue they said yes. It will worn out overtime.. Well,nothing last for whole life though :/ can't blame anyone for it XD thx for telling me.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] thedisturbedone:
No problem! Try not to open and close it too much.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] sony_84:
that's normal....

even xperia active still has water inside ... but , the water there , as in near of camera, is not dangerous ... as long as the water doesn't pass through the rubber seal
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris_2jze:
Hi all, This is my first post so please be gentle!!

I have searched the forums but dont really know too much about what I need so please forgive me if im going over old ground.

Basically Im sick of waiting for the OTA 4.2.2 update of my HTC One from 3UK.:crying: As everyone else is getting their update 3UK have changed their tune numerous times about weather the update has been pulled, Is in testing, Is being rolled out or now low and behold its back in testing again. They never give a straight answer and after tweeting them someone else has reccomended changing my CID? to allow me to ge the update.

I have been reading this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2317536 and I was wondering if this is indeed what I need to do. If I follow the instructions in this thread I understand it changes the CID on my phone, but how do I then go about getting the 4.2.2 update?

Where would I get it from and would that affect any future OTA updates. I dont want to root the phone as Im quite happy with Sense 5 I just want to be able to get the 4.2.2 update without having to wait for three to push it.

So basically can I use the procedure in the link above to change my CID. And after doing this where do I then get the update from. Do I then just check for updates??

Thanks in advance for any replies!

Regards,

Chris.:laugh:

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redbull123:
Use Revone to s-off and unlock, change CID from H3G__001 to HTC__001, flash the unbranded RUU, updates will appear when available on your device.

Use search for all of the above, unless someone else wants to give you the links..
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris_2jze:
Thanks so much. Thats pretty much what I needed. So as I know that 4.2.2 is available on my HTC one, once I have done all of the above, I check for updates and it should download?

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] postfatal:
OP I appreciate you're new but you could have found the answer to your question yourself without posting this. You won't get any carrier updates from 3 until 3 release them, even if you have superbloodyunicornCID, isn't that obvious? All superCID does is allow you to bypass regional ROM restrictions. The only way you're going to get 4.2.2 before three release it is by unlocking your bootloader and flashing a stock 4.2.2 ROM. All you'll probably do messing about with your CID is brick your phone, and then you'll have to spam the forums more.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redbull123:
What's your mum got to do with anything? She gets paid £60k+ to not ignore people, the guys on here are giving help for free. Anyway, this is going off topic. Use the search and you'll find what you want.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryanp1983:
Hi. You will have to change your CID and whilst doing anything of this nature carries a risk, it's a very low one.

I too was stock brand with 3. Follow one of the many video guides to use revone and get s-off as suggested above. Then download the stock wwe (world wide English) RUU and follow the on-screen instructions. The one I used was a standard 1.28 version. Again, use one of the great guides on here to download adb and change your CID to htc__001. Bear in mind there are 2 underscores there. You're phone will then see a small update and then again will recognise the 4.2.2 update.

That's if you want everything official. Mike1986 has a great guide on all this as does vomer in the android development thread.

If you want to run a Rom using 4.2.2 then it's just as simple, I personally was using mike1986's android revolution.

It all sounds daunting but take your time and follow the guides and you will be fine. It's very difficult to brick these phones.

Always make a nandroid backup before doing anything just in case.

So would the cm10 script work on nottas paranoid android builds or is it only for cm10?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] razz1:
If it's based on cm10 but it may already have it's own optimizations.

Install it. It won't hurt anything. If it provides more speed for you than keep it. If not, remove it manually. I did not include a remove flashable. I bet you will find more speed though.

You think any of this conflicts with anything that Direct Inject does? I've combined the two already, but I was just wondering
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] razz1:
Unfortunately really can't say for sure. I checked that thread but haven't actually used it so...You could check "/sys/class/bdi" to see if anything has changed. Read ahead should be 512 on most.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bigee1212:
For me on a touchwiz ROM some things felt quicker while some felt slower. For example trying to go into gallery from the camera there is significant delay versus not having the script. But general snappiness did improve. Just my 2 cents.

Hi all,

I don't know, how about you guys, but last weeks the forum speed was terrible for me...

There were some threads, about it before, but i think this could be a soultion. However, it could also be just a coincidence.

So I think, that the problem is not directly in the forum, but in the DNS resolution of it's internet name.

So what i did today?

There is a file in "C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc" (on w2k - maybe different on XP) called "hosts".

you can assign names to IP addresses there, so the system will not query DNS server for the IP address. UNIX/linux guys know, what i'm talking about..

so I added these two entries there:

82.94.252.245	xda-developers.com
82.94.252.245	xdaforums.com

And the forum is now faster than FAST...

However, as I said, it could be just a coincidence and someone finally fixed the forum's webserver or something else.
