Got my handset back today.

The guy in the shop says its brand new (ie. not my phone and not a refurb), and I don't doubt him, the keyboard is very tight to the phone. It appears that T-Mobile's warranty repair people either don't know what's wrong with it, or have decided its too expensive to replace.

Or maybe they'd run out of refurbs sending out all the replacement MDAs :roll:

We'll see if this one lasts...

Chris
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] mike freegan:
I think mine's a refurb. It's very tight though.

It does whistle but very quietly in comparison to the old one. Not enough to interfere with calls.

Good luck with the new handset pal

I have been using Asia ROm and haven't had this problem since I had the XDA for about 3 months now. I upgraded to the 1.40 ROM and its still working fine! Keeping my fingers crossed....
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] AdmiralAK:
I have an SX66 - it started doing this a couple of weeks ago (have the unit since december). I more or less dont notice it unless I am paying attention to it. It is annoying though when I do get to hear it.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Lewisham:
Well my new one has developed it again. Took only a week. Fortunately, when I have the earpiece to my ear I can't hear it unless I'm looking for it.

I just don't understand how they can all break in this way. There is obviously no point sending it back, all I'm going to end up with is another two weeks without it and another broken phone.

I want T-Mobile to know it isn't ****ing acceptable, but I don't want them to

"fix" it. Does anyone know what I should do?

Silver lining moment: The new version of Skype no longer crashes the wireless manager, and works perfectly. At least I can talk to my girlfriend (currently in the US) without any trouble.

Chris
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] mike freegan:
HAHA!! Well after X many faulty units, I think you're entitled to get a refund. Are you sure they weren't just sending you refurbs?

My new one does it a little, but only quietly. Not enough to hear when in call or from a distance so I really CBA.

Really though, how did this device pass EU standards testing :S
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Lewisham:
Well, the noise got worse, so I called T-Mobile. To call it a helpline seems a bit of a misleading description (a lot like calling my faulty hands telephones I guess).

I spoke to a man, who told me to look up the serial number. Because I was being dense, I forgot I could get that in the settings dialogs, so we hung up, I pulled out the battery and called again.

10 minutes later, inexplicably disconnected from the line. I call again.

7 minutes later, "Michelle" answers the call. She is either clueless, or highly trained to get people off the telephone. At first she was looking into getting me to call HTC but then:

T-M: "But they're in Taiwan, so they don't speak English, so we can't do that".

Me: "I don't want to talk to anyone. You guys sold me the phone. I want to speak to you."

T-M: "Well, let me pass you over to the faulty handsets department, you're in technical support right now."

Me: "What are they going to do?"

T-M: "They'll see whether they can get you a repair, or a telephone number of someone who will do it"

Me: "That's not what I want! I want to speak to a supervisor please"

T-M: "The supervisor will tell you exactly the same thing I did"

After to-ing and fro-ing about three times, she finally said she'd talk to some more people.

I was on hold for about 20 minutes as she spoke to various departments "trying to get a resolution" that was no doubt going to involve me getting another ****ing loan phone.

T-M: "I'm going to put you through to faulty handsets, I've explained the situation and they think they know what to do"

Me: "Can I speak to a supervisor there?"

T-M: "Yes"

I then spoke to a very nice lady in faulty handsets, who did not appear to want to BS me in any way. She asked me what the problem was, I explained to her about the whistling, how it keeps happening, and how we "solved" it the last two times. "So would you like to take it into the store again?" I told her politely that I was rather tired of spending more time using a loan phone than my own, and that I wanted some other solution, and that I wanted the problem escalated. "No problem, I totally understand and I'll escalate this. I'll get someone to call you back as soon as I can"

Three hours later, I phone T-Mobile back asking where said supervisor is, and the guy said they will be with me today.

So I am waiting some more. I am hoping that the fact whoever this is is way too busy to talk to me means he'll have some authority in getting something done.

Chris
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Lewisham:
Finally called back. I managed to talk to the manager of the handsets department.

T-M: "What would be an ideal resolution to this for you?"

Me: "I want to get rid of this phone, I don't trust it to last a month, let alone the other 16 my contract has."

T-M: "Do any other handsets interest you?"

Me: "The new Sony Ericsson [insert the codename here I forget. It's the candybar update to the k700], even though it's a downgrade, I know and trust them to be reliable"

T-M: "Then that's what we'll do"

So I'm finally getting rid of my Blue Devil. I'm tired of everything failing. I just want a phone, even though I'm paying through the nose for it. No credit refund to reflect the downgrading :roll:

Chris
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] mike freegan:
Good result then, but we'll be sad to loose you.

I really am surprised that they allowed you to change handsets! Usually they're arseholes about this stuff.

TBH, I felt exactly the same. HTC make appaulingly unreliable software and handsets.

However, my 1.40 ROM and 1.13 radio make my tolerable. I wouldn't say it's good by any means, but it's acceptable.

I still miss alot of calls. Caller ID is still laggy and unreliable sometimes, although not as often. The no sound in call problem only happens about once every 3 weeks. The screen whistles, but not enough to hear unless you are specifically listening for it.

I stand by my claim that this handset should not be sold due to reliability. I have half a mind to call up Trading Standards (or whoever) and tell them to make sure that any handset manufactured by HTC is tested by normal use of every feature for a week before they are allowed to sell them.

I am yet to have an HTC handset that I can rely on getting a call on 100%.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Lewisham:
The reason why they let me change my handset is because when I say the manager, I'm not talking about the team leader, I'm talking about the actual manager of the handsets department.

The reason it's going to take a while is because he has *meetings* to go to, and put me in his calendar to call me back on Monday. He's doing it all be hand, talking to people and such. I was very pleased TBH, it's a result I wasn't expecting.

Chris
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] mike freegan:
Lol. All I'll say is, don't count your chickens 'til they've hatched.

I had similar promises by Orange who later denied it all. I sorta minipulated them into accepting a return but it was difficult.

Good luck anyway!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Nazeroth:
Now it whistles !!!

Well as promised, some three months of testing....

now the screen whistles but is not as noisy as t b heard 2.5 foot away....

I'll never again buy one of those toys... so far 3 ipaq destroyed and one whistling BA

****e!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] sschrupp:
Doh! I got a BA off Ebay a couple months ago and everything has been great until recently I've been getting the high pitched squeal. Was hoping there was a fix for this. *sigh* Ah well...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d0ct0ru:
Hello

I manage to build up a GT-I9505.

All the parts that I used are from defective devices purchased from Ebay (main board ; display etc)

At the first start the phone had a strange firmware installed and was in a factory mode.

I did a research on google and I manage to exit from the factory mode and also to flash a new firmware (I9505XXUBMF8).

The new firmware contained PDA/CSC/Modem/BOOTLOADER.

I use the phone since 2 or 3 weeks with no problemes.

But last days I found out that there is a newer firmware (I9505XXUBMGA) so I tried to update via OTA.

Unfortunately each time when I trie to update via OTA i get "network or server error please try later".

Also via Kies I got :

"your device's curent firmware is not supported to update firmware via Kies

current firmware version : PDA:MF8 / PHONE:MF8 / CSC:MF8 (XXX)

What can I do in this case?

The PDA/Modem/CSC seems to match.

From what I read on variuous forums this is all that matters on samsung phones to get updates via OTA & Kies.

Or also the IMEI needs to mach with the PDA/Modem/CSC?

In my case the IMEI is 0 but still the phone works on all the carriers from my country.

Any advice on how to get update work via Kies & OTA will be apreciated.

Thank you
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MichelN:
Had the same problem when switching roms (Vodafone Dutch to DBT German) and fixed it.

1. Turn phone off

2. Do the 3 button combo (home button, volume up + power on)

3. CSC will be correctly installed.

4. Reboot phone and your pc

5. Check again

If that didn't work download the full rom and flash it with odin. That will fix it too

HI.

I want to change my carrier. Right nmow i have simple mobile and its worst and worst. I want to have something from verizon. Also if you know good deals share it pls. I found http://goo.gl/WC4xR and checked verizon. I choose http://goo.gl/eVXlh or http://goo.gl/CbS0r

I want to check plans for http://goo.gl/eVXlh and i have to choose between GSM and CDMA. If i choose GSM i have to choose t-mobile or att sim card.

Can i choose CDMA and register (unlocked i9300 ) for being in Verizon?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
the i9300 is GSM only. No CDMA.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bitpie:
THX.

I have one more Q ( dont want to create another thread )

Im around 3yrs with simple mobile and after 3 yrs everything can be changed. Which servis ( and if you knoe the deal ) is the best for my unlocked i9300 att or t-mobile ? if cant go with verizon.

I want to have $50 or less per month and unlimited everything.

Like i said i found http://goo.gl/nfXnij and have to choose att or tmobile sim card. I can go also with family 2 lines.

Also what about verizon http://goo.gl/CbS0r ??

Which deal and service is the best today ?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Does the i9300 work on both? Compare att frequencies and t-mobile with i9300.

Would you not be better getting a t-mobile version or att version?

Can't help with plans. Remember, the i9300 isn't sold officially in the US so most of us are not Americans ;)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bitpie:
Well ... good to know
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b-eock:
You will only get 3G on AT&T, unless you're in one of the areas that T-Mobile has started adding their new frequency towers in. So you're best bet is AT&T. I'm American. And use my I9300 on AT&T fine.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qtwrk:
China Telecom custom made Galaxy S III i939 and i939d (dual sim card )

Everything is same to i9300 except only GSM and CDMA (someone says can be able to use WCDMA while outside the Chinese territory and roaming, but I think it's highly unlikely )
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bitpie:
And last chance ...

Any chance to get https://www.pagepluscellular.com/ on my phone? I ask pageplus on FB but i have answer like " only if u have flashed " ?

Also this is answer from thier lifechat :

***

We cannot determine if a specific make & model will or will not work with Page

Plus. In general, you can use any unlocked, Verizon-compatible, CDMA phone on

our network.

If the handset is not an approved Page Plus Cellular device, we cannot

guarantee that web access or picture messaging will work properly on the phone.

We do not have any server information to provide if the device is not an

approved Page Plus phone.

Should you activate any non-approved Page Plus phone on our system we can

provide you with our basic programming sequence, but once more we cannot

guarantee the programming of the device will be successful, nor will we have a

way of telling you exactly why a phone will not work with Page Plus. We can

provide troubleshooting for most Page Plus approved devices. If the device you

are trying to activate is not an approved Page Plus device, troubleshooting may

be limited to the information we have available.

***

I really want to have verizon ( probably best service )

I dont know what to think about this.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bitpie:
Maybe suppose to but not :)

No one has such a hope as I :angel:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bitpie:
Another answer from pageplus

you may have enough to go with that. I personally am not familiar with rooting and such. I can flash devices, but not into all the extra things you can do with them. Send me a PM via FB and I will try to explain some of the things you need and we can go from there.

what do you think ? Or he :0 ?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
I don't know what you're asking. There is nothing that rooting or flashing can do to change the hardware of an i9300 to CDMA.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bitpie:
Yes .. sorry i was in rush.

So one more time. I asked about unlocked i9300 ill work with pageplus. He answer "Only if you have it flashed". So i told him i have rooted phone and change ROM often and is this enought or i need something else like program or setup. And he answer "you may have enough to go with that. I personally am not familiar with rooting and such. I can flash devices, but not into all the extra things you can do with them. Send me a PM via FB and I will try to explain some of the things you need and we can go from ther".

But you already answered this and i trust you more then him.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
You can never use an i9300 on verizon as CDMA. You have to use it as GSM. Im not sure who page plus are it what they offer in gsm. You'd need to compare their gsm frequency bands with the i9300.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] mjskraju:
I am able to get my Sprint HTC One to accept my RUIM(CDMA-SIM) of one of CDMA network provider in my country, by making Sprint HTC One to read from RUIM only. Calls, Text & Data is working. The only issue is that it is continuously staying in 'Digital Roaming' or 'Roaming', although I've not been charged any roaming charges by my (RUIM)network provider, all the calls, text are being charged normally with absolutely no roaming charges. And another interesting thing is that if I stop roaming by going into Settings-->Mobile Data-->Roaming & selecting 'Home Only', the phone completely stops receiving signal. I don't know why it still needs that Roaming part to be active even though it is not truly in roaming & I was only charged as per normal rates by my (RUIM) Networ provider & again absolutely no roaming charges. And there is no issue with GSM but with CDMA mode you get that 'Digital Roaming'. I hope some one experienced shed some light on this & suggest a solution for this only issue, which although doesn't stop me(us) using RUIM based CDMA Network in my(our) country(ies).

Please take a look at the attached screenshots which prove that data is also working.
