[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsmepawan:
I think you should see a change, maybe before the update your OS was 4.1.2 and after the update it was same again too?

You would have observe that you have a app called Play Magazine, Play Books and also there should be a shrink, thinness in your notification bar.

Am I right?

Anyway for Tab2 p3100 devices there is a update ie. 4.2.2 Officially.

It is available in many countries, though first distributed in FRANCE.

You can get the update by two methods:

1. Install KIES and connect your tab and update your Firmware.

OR

2. Download the official firmware zip file and also download ODIN v1.85. Flash the zip file via ODIN ( Your tab should be in DOWNLOAD MODE )

Cheers :beer:

*Remember either way you need KIES or DRIVERS FOR YOUR TAB. ( Just install KIES it will install drivers too.

*Read instructions carefully while applying.

Have a nice day :)

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kish3n:
Hi,

If you go to settings -> Personalisation -> Quick Settings

Then you should see LTE as a toggle available. If you tick LTE it should show up on your notification panel to enable or disable LTE. If you toggle this as ON it should also show up in your settings menu under mobile network settings.

Hope this helps!
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mo858585:
No there is no toggle for LTE. I think cause it is branded by tmobile, but they said we don't do that for LTE.

I will try later to flash the new stock firmware.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shizenyasuya:
You could try looking through the options in secret menus. I don't have a Z1 (yet) but I've used this app on other devices to access menus and radio settings that were not available under the standard menus. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.afp_group.software&hl=en Secret Codes Revealer

wait for 18 november 2013

It's not available in the netherlands for t-mobile until 18 november 2013. Then your mobile will be updated by t-mobile for LTE ( ie. to select the option).

In Dutch;

service.t-mobile.nl/app/persoonlijk/answers/detail/a_id/3328

service.t-mobile.nl/app/persoonlijk/answers/detail/a_id/3503/related/1

Vanaf 18 november 2013 kunnen klanten van T-Mobile in de regio’s Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Den Haag en Utrecht profiteren van het nieuwe 4G-netwerk. Een 4G ready telefoon is een telefoon waarmee u gebruik kunt maken van het 4G-netwerk van T-Mobile. Hiervoor dient wel de software op uw toestel geoptimaliseerd te zijn. Bij 4G-toestellen die u bij T-Mobile koopt ontvangt u automatisch de juiste software.

I have the C6903 as well, and in the US where LTE is available I am not able to see the LTE network only 4G. I understand your woes trust me.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mo858585:
dus met andere woorden pas 18 november krijg ik een update die mijn telefoon lte klaar maakt. Maar ik heb nu vodafoen red met 4 g maar kan het niet ontvangen. Dus wachten tot 18 november of flashen.

Wel raar want ik tmobile paar keer aan de lijn gehad en die zeiden dat tmobile niks aan het locken van LTE doet, met andere woorden zij hebben niet gedaan aan het toestel zodat het geen lte kan ontvangen. Maar ik weet zeker dat je gelijk heb dat ik dan een carrierupdate krijg.

[Verizon LG G2] hd-renegade:
I have a LG G2 and I am no longer under contract to Verizon, so I just pay VZW month to month for my service.

My questions here are:

Can I switched to Walmarts Straight Talk with my G2?

Would I still have the same coverage (4G) area on Straight Talk?

Thank you
[Verizon LG G2] hd-renegade:
No one has any info on this?
[Verizon LG G2] Geekybiker:
AFAIK you have to buy one of their phones to use CDMA networks. Only the gsm carriers have the bring your own phone on ST.
[Verizon LG G2] hd-renegade:
Isn't the G2 CDMA and GSM capible??
[Verizon LG G2] ErisDev:
Yes it is.
[Verizon LG G2] trollarc:
There are people who wrote a method to flash a sprint epic to straight talk Verizon towers that works on sprint Note 2s. One of the intermediate steps flashes a vzw phone. CDMA workshop and a little bit of work can make it happen.
[Verizon LG G2] zandroid:
I looked into this a while back, since it sounded so wonderful in the commercials. I don't think Straight Talk offers any 4G service, but I could be wrong. It may be available on their GSM towers. Either way, if you follow the link below for "bring your own phone," then click on CMDA, the next page states BYOP does not work on 4G phones.

http://straighttalkbyop.com/

I seem to remember them selling a 3G Samsung S3 when I was looking into their service. That kind of put me off of them.
[Verizon LG G2] hd-renegade:
Thank you, I sort of figured maybe it was to good to be true.
[Verizon LG G2] trollarc:
Straight talk=3g only and vzw network only. No roaming networks.
[Verizon LG G2] hd-renegade:
Another thank you on good info for this.
[Verizon LG G2] Geekybiker:
You can get a LTE sim with ATT now on ST. Don't know if you can make it work in a VZW g2, but it should work fine in the ATT g2.
[Verizon LG G2] trollarc:
Okay, correction to my post. If you want vzw towers on st you have to have only vzw towers if you have a CDMA only phone. You can fflash to their sprint based service and only have sprint service (probably, not sure if they have donors to hack). Their sim networks are Att/T-Mobile. I haven't heard of anybody flashing to the st vzw towers with a vzw sim equipped phone and using one of their sims. That might be useful if you were in a place that regularly has simbased services and occasionally went to the boonies- you could just switch which service was active assuming you get better speed or home coverage on the sim service. Also useful for international (read: not north American) roaming.
[Verizon LG G2] b4dk4rm4:
I realize that this is an old thread but I just switched to Straight Talk from Verizon and thought I would share this. After the switch (I kept my number from Verizon) my phone still shows Verizon Wireless on the lock screen, still says VZWInternet for my APN settings and still shows that I am getting 4GLTE. I am actually on Straight Talk service though as I have my SIM from ST in my phone. I didnt have to use an ATT sim or anything. I registered CDMA on the Straight Talk site before I switched my phone number over. Hope this is useful to anyone thinking about switching over.
[Verizon LG G2] Giancarlosc:
Verizon is a straighttalk's carrier so basically your phone is still working under Verizon wireless.
[Verizon LG G2] RunNgun42:
Just to shed a little light on this, while Straight Talk might operate on VZW towers in some regions, VZW does not authorize straight talk to use phones like the LG G2. One of the powers of CDMA is they can pre-approve select serial numbers for certain carriers, thus VZW knows every single phone ever manufactured for their network and can selectively choose which can be authorized to connect. Thats why you have to go through all the crazy phone cloning to get CDMA phones to look like authorized devices.

Anyway, ST operates on both CDMA and GSM in certain markets. When operating on GSM they utilize AT&T. The LG G2 can only connect to ST if you are using the native unlocked GSM mode. Thats right, all Verizon LG G2 phones are GSM unlocked. So if Straight Talk offers a GSM service through ATT in your area then you can use Straight Talk. If you are trying to connect to Straight Talk's CDMA service (verizon towers) it will not work. Of course you can also use your G2 on any GSM carrier, so T-mobile is also a good player here as they offer some pretty attractive plans, namely their $30/month 5GB/100minute plan. If you have a google voice number you can use Hangouts to place calls that count against data and not minutes, thus you have an Unlimited voice plan with 5GB data for $30/month.
[Verizon LG G2] xtermmin:
Er, no. "Phone cloning" was necessary for using devices on older 3G-only MVNOs, but it's no longer the case now that Verizon uses SIM cards. (as do many Verizon MVNOs, like Straight Talk, Pageplus, etc)

As long as the G2 is in good standing (IMEI/ESN not blacklisted due to non-payment/stolen phone/etc), you can use it on ST. All you need to do is request a Verizon SIM from ST CS, pop it in the phone, and go. The $45 for Unlimited/Unlimited/5GB BYOP plan works fine on Verizon. Hell, as long as you have an activated SIM card, you can even use non-Verizon-approved LTE devices on a Verizon plan as long as it has the necessary LTE bands.

Why are you reviving an old, dead topic with outdated information?
[Verizon LG G2] RunNgun42:
Thanks for the info, I was misinformed. Since I just canceled with Verizon and ate the ETF penalty, I still have my Verizon 4G sim. Can I use that with ST? Or do I still need to order an official ST branded sim to use with Verizon?
[Verizon LG G2] xtermmin:
ST will give you a SIM when you sign up, but be sure that it's for the Verizon network.

If you're ordering over the phone, just tell the rep that you want it for Verizon.

If you're doing it in store, make sure you're getting the ST Activation Kit for Verizon. Apparently not all Walmarts carry the ST Verizon kit, so you might have to order over the phone/on ST's website.

Once you get it, just pop it in your Verizon G2 and you're good to go.
[Verizon LG G2] RunNgun42:
What seems so unreal about this is that I'm paying for Verizon service for less than Verizon charges. How the hell does that work for them? Does Verizon just make most of their money roping people into contracts for new phone subsidies? Do they severely deprioritize non VZW customers to the point that ST might be miserable on their network?
[Verizon LG G2] xtermmin:
There are a few of catches to ST's service, which apply to other Verizon MVNOs as well:

1) Verizon postpaid has roaming on 3rd party networks, while prepaid and MVNOs are limited to Verizon's native network only.

2) Verizon MVNOs have lower priority than Verizon-proper. On congested towers, ST and other MVNOs will have the slowest speeds.

3) Similar to the above, all Verizon MVNOs are capped at 5mbps LTE speeds. So not only do ST/MVNOs have the lowest priority, but even on uncongested towers their speeds are limited.

On the plus side, you get Verizon coverage, the largest data bucket at the $45 price point (5GB), and no additional charges/suspended data after you use your allotment (ST throttles to 64kbps after).

If priority and speeds are important, Verizon Prepaid has unlimited talk+text+2GB data (suspended after unless you pay for more) for $45. Higher priority than MVNOs and no speed restrictions.
[Verizon LG G2] comk4ver:
Question: so my friend already has straight talk with Verizon he has a galaxy 3. But if for his birthday I wanted to give him a Verizon LG G2; is there anything I have to do in order for it to work?

Would he be able to use swap phones on the fly? E.g. use the galaxy 3 at work then since his battery is dead could he just switch to the G2 for the rest of the day?
[Verizon LG G2] xtermmin:
Yep. Both phones use MicroSIM, so all he'll have to do is power off the S3, remove the SIM, stick it into the G2, and turn it on. SIM pretty much only contains the phone number, so he'll have to transfer over his contacts/media another way (via cloud, via Bluetooth, etc).
[Verizon LG G2] comk4ver:
Thank you do much, he's backed up via google so no problems there! Much appreciated
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] gr8nole:
A lot of people have questions about using ADB, so I decided to make a very simple guide to some basic ADB operations. This information is available all over XDA, but many people don't seem to like looking through other device threads.

ADB should function in recovery and when the tablet is normally booted.

Install ADB on your PC.

Download the attached ADB_files.zip

Create a folder to hold the ADB files (I will use C:\ADB) and extract the files to that folder.

Download and install the Samsung USB drivers (available HERE), or, install KIES to get the drivers.

On the tablet, go to Settings, Developer Options and enable USB debugging.

Connect the Tablet to your PC via USB cable.

Open a command prompt in your ADB folder. The text at the prompt should read C:\ADB. (You can just click on the Command_Prompt.bat to do this).

Verify ADB is working by typing "adb devices" (and hit ENTER) in the command window. You should see a device number listed for your tablet.

You are now ready to use ADB functions.

I have included in the zip a few .bat files to perform some of the basic commands for you. These commands will output files to your ADB directory.

Below are some of the common commands you can use with ADB for troubleshooting purposes:

- To boot into Download mode:

adb reboot download

- To boot into recovery:

adb reboot recovery

- To reboot:

adb reboot

- To get the last_kmsg (to troubleshoot kernel issues):

adb shell cat /proc/last_kmsg > last_kmsg.txt

- To get the dmesg:

adb shell su -c dmesg > dmesg.txt

- To get the logcat:

adb logcat -v time -d > logcat.log

The first time you use the "su" command, you may need to acknowledge the Superuser request on your tablet in order for the superuser permissions to be granted.

These are some very basic examples of what can be done with ADB, but they are very helpful when troubleshooting many issues. There are MANY other commands for ADB(that can be Googled).

There are also some apps that can do this for you, but I prefer to do these things manually most of the time.

Feel free to post any useful adb commands you use on a regular basis.

HOW TO GET A RECOVERY.LOG

If you are in your custom recovery:

Make sure you have adb working on your PC (see above).

Connect your device to PC.

Open a command prompt; then CD to your adb directory.

Type the following command:

adb pull /cache/recovery/*

You will get several files in your adb directory (log, last_log, last_log.1...etc)

Send those files to your developer.

If you are booted into Android:

Make sure you have adb working on your PC (see above).

Connect your device to PC.

Open a command prompt; then CD to your adb directory.

Type the following commands:

adb shell
su
mkdir /storage/sdcard0
cp /cache/recovery /storage/sdcard0/recovery
exit
exit
adb pull /storage/sdcard0/recovery

You will get several files in your adb directory (log, last_log, last_log.1...etc)

Send those files to your developer.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] Oxyandy:
I have my GT-P5210 (wifi) rooted...

I have not been able to get ADB to work properly once :(

Wish I I had tried before I rooted this device.

I have tried via WifI & USB = no go.

Anyway no big deal I guess, running 'ES File Explorer' on a rooted device gives me all the power I need.

Just miss the convenience of sending a single APP from PC to Tablet (without cable) to install.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] Oxyandy:
Well ok then..

I finally tried a different version of adb.exe than the one I originally used (was about 400kb), and now it's all working as expected..Yay

Maybe the version I tried was a bit dated ? not even sure where that is now, lol

done too much since, being a new pad owner and all.

Now I am able to make use of "Right Click APK" >> install via Wireless Connection.

No wires, no prompts.

Just wanted to post a follow up in case anyone thought I inferred 'rooting' somehow cost me ADB functionality

Very happy

:good:

[Galaxy Tab 3 General] calden74:
It's extremely easy to get ADB working on a Tab 3 10.1, just make sure USB Debugging is enabled and reboot. Press the bottom button of the Volume key and Power supply key at the same time. Then Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 will enter hboot mode.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] Oxyandy:
I guess you missed Post #3 just after that one, I have it working no problem, I had to use a different version of ADB.EXE

All,

I have the Dev Edition with S-OFF and CID111111 running ARHD 13.3. With the latest update to the Dev Edition to 4.3, can I just flash the RUU for the latest of the Dev Edition? Will it work with TWRP custom recovery?

Thanks for any info.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guich:
Emh, the RUU isn't a zip, but an exe that you have to flash with the pc...

However, you can flash it :)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
You can flash an RUU when S-OFF with Super CID, I've done it a number of times :)

The RUU is a complete update so it will overwrite the custom recovery anyway
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nutzzer:
Awesome guys....with that being said, I have a few more question. Since I'm S-Off and Super CID, you said I can flash any RUU, but it will wipe the custom recovery. That is fine, but when I want to flash a ROM in the future, I will have to reflash a new recovery correct? Will this mess with my HBOOT? I'm on 1.55 right now.

Also, I'm on the http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=39588860 looking at the collecdtion of RUU's...do I flash the ZIP, EXE or the Decrypted RUU's?

Again, thanks for your replies!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Download the RUU from HTCDev directly so you know you've got the right file, then flash it with the phone connected in fastboot. It will downgrade the HBOOT and put the phone back to 1.29.1540.16 and be just like it was out the box (except you'll still be S-OFF with Super CID). You can then get the OTA to .17 and then the OTA to Android 4.3...after that, you can flash a custom recovery and do what you want (but I'd take a nandorid first of course)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nutzzer:
EDDYOS,

Thanks for all your info!! I will do exactly that!

One last question, I promise...since I am on S-OFF I should not be worried that flashing the RUU and downgrading to HBOOT 1.54 and not be able to achieve SOFF again? Cause isn't 1.54 having issues with SOFF? Or does that not matter to me since I have the Dev Editoin?

Again, thanks for all your advice.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
You'll stay S-OFF so it's irrelevant...the only way you'll go S-ON is if YOU make it. RUUs/OTAs don't touch it

Example:

I'm currently on 2.24.401.8, HBOOT 1.54 and have S-OFF (as I did it when I could ages ago). I recently went back to 1.28.401.7 using the RUU and was still S-OFF. I then got the 4 OTAs to get back to 2.24.401.8 and I'm still S-OFF :)

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] zingit:
Hey, I've had an XDA for a few days now, and for some reason (god only knows why), it seems to quite often send the same text 3 or more times - and when I'm texting my girlfriend in Australia, that's 60p a time! Also, I don't know if this is just me, but credit seems to randomly evaporate even when I'm not using the phone. I know it's not the SIM as it works fine in a Nokia 8310. I don't have any dodgy software installed, just a guitar tuner and TV remote control apps.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
