[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Skeeredfitless:
Did you take note of what your baseband and what each kernel was in each rom? Is every ROM using the same baseband or is one possibly using an older version? What does the signal strength say as well? That would be under settings>about> or something like that. Current baseband is MD4.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] alex4523:
base brand

My base brand on this ROM is l710pvbjl7 not md4, do I need to flash a new kernel to change this? Also its says LTE in signal status or 3g but only 1 bar and very weak
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Skeeredfitless:
Do you have custom recovery?

Do you have your data backed up?

If you can do a nandroid I would and try flashing the baseband, it might make a difference. You can always nandroid back then.

EDIT: This is where you can find the MD4 firmware. It is at the end of the first post... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1910947
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] alex4523:
I do have a back up how would I go about flashing the new base brand, thanks for your help so far brother, also I'm using twrp 2.6.3 the latest
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Baseband is stored in places that rom flashes do not touch. They are independent of each other, and I've yet to see a dev even mess with installing a particular modem when you install their rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] joeyhdownsouth:
In TWRP, just like a Rom, it's done been zipped up for you from that link

Sent from my GalaxyS3
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Skeeredfitless:
Did you see I linked to a post with the MD4 firmware in my last post? Just in case you couldn't find it... :good:

Do you have Clockwork mod recovery or TWRP recovery? You will need ONE of those.

So it is only Sprint/Samsung that do them together? Good to know... still learning this stuff myself
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] alex4523:
OK flashed that base and it changed the brand, speed got a little quicker but signal is still weak 1 bar
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Yup, only OTA's will contain both firmware (modem, etc) and the updated software
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Skeeredfitless:
Go to Google play store and download network info II. There will be a tab with your signal dBm. What does that say? You might be having the same issue from my other thread.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ascertion:
I always appeared to have slower download speeds via Speedtest.net. Try Sensorly (they just had a large update) and their speedtest servers are awesome. I pulled 30+ in a spot I usually get 23-25. You may find it's the way Ookla's speedtest app is run in AOSP.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uncanny:
Hi Guys, Today I purchased a used Note 3 LTE. Before paying, I checked everything, phone is basically brand new, used 2 hours. Unsurprisingly before handing me the phone, the seller factory reset, so he could erase his data. Now, I came home and I'm stuck on the Samsung Account login screen and it's not giving me any option to skip. It's a UAE version Note3, so I know it's not region locked. I called the seller and he says he does not remember the password. I've used a lot of Android phones and this is new to me. I also factory reset and wipe cache the phone, but no luck!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brunotuga:
The reactivation lock was turned on by the guy that activated 1st u need to ask him to unlock u by giving u is samsung login.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uncanny:
What is reactivation lock? I've Galaxy S4 as my daily driver, is this in the settings?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpill2016:
Yeah so find the guy he stole it from and ask if he wouldn't mind sharing his samsung password. :good:
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uncanny:
He seemed like a nice guy and plus he gave me authentic invoice, so I doubt the phone is stolen. How did he manage to lock the phone? He factory reset the phone right in front of me.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brunotuga:
Under the setting security there is a reactivation lock option and he turned it on. This requires samsung account to reactivate it after a reset. Is normal account from samsung the one he uses to download apps from the Samsung hub is the one u need.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brunotuga:
That's the option that was activated also need a password for it to be saved as active. Try and contact him again and explain that is the Samsung account.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uncanny:
He answers most of my calls, and I tried 3-4 passwords he gave me, but none of them work. He says the phone was impulse buy and he created Samsung account in a rush. This activation lock option is not there in my S4, nor it was there on my S3, is this new feature of Note3? Do I've another solution? Perhaps flashing the stock firmware.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hagalah:
Ask your seller to get the password from Samsung using lost password request.. If should be working if you input correct account information.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brunotuga:
No its no in my s4 just on note 3. Just ask him to try and recovery it or take the phone back. Don't know if samsung kies will allow u to install the firmware locked but try.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TML1504:
try to enter ODIN mode and reflash stock rom! I think atm no-one knows how deep the integration of this security feature goes... so maybe this resets this totally! if not, flash cwm6 in odin and try to wipe /system, /data, /preload, /cache) before flashing stock again! attention: by flashing cwm you perhaps lose official warranty, because of an increased counter, and KNOX warranty void! perhaps chainfire will be able to sort this out, but I do not have any progress information!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] weirdingway:
Yeah this is like what iOS7 requires now as well. Apple login before you can restore/reflash the phone. Samsung's just ask for it after (which IMO is silly).

HELP

I am stuck with the same issue......NEED HELP !
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maidangisme:
reactivate lock may cause issued, better turn it off when rooting phone and won't be bother turn it on after root as well.

-Stay away from whatever security Samsung offered on Firmware.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] max_ray:
I cannot bypass the samsung login screen...Is there any way to bypass that ?? I tried to install custom recovery and firmware from ODIN as well but failed..I need to deactivate reactivation lock
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcracks:
you will need to ask the previous owner to login to the phone and deactivate this
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] max_ray:
I dont know who the owner is coz i bought it from local shop at cheaper rate thinking I would reset firmware from ODIN and that would go away..But all things Ive tried failed..
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcracks:
the feature is to prevent stolen ph for being revived and used...if you dun have that then its a piece of paper weight that you have now
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sproglet:
Take it back to the local shop.

It's a "security feature" to stop stolen phones being used.

The shop should have ensured it was turned off before they purchased it.

There is no way to unlock it without the Samsung account that the phone is linked to.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Giulianos306:
Bypass reactivation lock

First of all I have to say that I've created this account just to share what I did with this problem. It took me, after doing dozens of hard reset and flashing firmwares, 10 minutes. Maybe, the seller never activated the phone (that's what happened to me) and this screen is appearing by mistake. So what you have to do if this is your case is to connect the headphones that came with the phone and press the button for 1-2 sec. Then the SVoice will apear and there you can use voice commands. So you just say "Start Settings" and it will open the setting where you have to activate the reactivation lock (maybe isn't necessary, but that way worked) but this time using your samsung account. Then you just have to do a factory reset (from the settings, not from the recovery) and your phone will be unlocked. It will restart and then you can set it up normally. Hope this works for you as it do for me.

"encryption unsuccessful" on first boot after installing beanstalk ROM (4.3.10)

After installing the latest Beanstalk ROM (4.3.1001), on the first bootup it goes to a standard android screen stating "Encryption Unsuccessful". I have gone back to an older ROM build and it loads up fine, so I know it is not the phone or the SD Card.

Is anyone else experiencing this ? or have any suggestions on how to get the latest ROM installed ?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] evlguin:
I have had similar things happen to me. It was invariably linked to a "bad" download. Something somehow corrupted some

data file or who knows what. The important thing was that after I downloaded the file again and reflashed it worked! One thing,

after the update to 4.3 the Beanstalk ROM's developer has stressed the importance of a "clean flash" and making sure to "format

system". Good luck!

I got my carrier unlock code from AT&T and when up put it in, it says incorrect code.

This happens when using a different SIM card and the diagnosis app. Any ideas/help?

Sent from my SGH-i917 using Board Express
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] PO15ON:
Sometimes, the code that you get from the carrier is shorter than what is actually required. In that case, you need to add "0"s before the code to make it the same length.

e.g. Code received from carrier: 12345. This code is too short to actually function and will result in incorrect code. Code you need to use in this case: 00012345. Find out the number of digits required and then adjust accordingly.

p.s. you are only allowed 5 tries for the unlock. If you enter the wrong code 5 times, your phone will be permanently locked to your carrier. Only try the fifth code after contacting the manufacturing company (HTC, nokia, Samsung, etc.) regarding this matter. After the 5th time, no one can undo the permanent lock.

Customize app switcher button

Why can't I customize the shortpress and longpress and longpress actions for the app swap button on ViperDNA 2.0.0? In the ViperTweak|Buttons menu there are options to configure the Home and Back button functions but not for AppSwap. The app swap button does act as menu by default on this ROM which is good, but there does not seem to be a way to set the longpress action back to app swap. I can set this as the longpress action for Back but it is not quite as natural. This is configurable on the DNA Superstock ROM.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] pyrplhaze:
So I'm not really new to the whole custom rom idea...just new to HTC...had a Samsung Galaxy, and an S2 Skyrocket, both with custom recovery/roms on them, but I have a question about the HTC rom install process...

I've just finished unlocking my bootloader.

Custom recovery will be next.

My question: All the tutorials say unlock bootloader, install recovery, install root, then custom rom.

Is it necessary to root before installing the rom? In my Samsung experiences, the custom roms came with root privelages already, so rooting wasn't necessary...does the same hold true here, so I can just drop a new rom in once I've installed the recovery, or will rooting first be a necessity?

Thanks!!!

if you use TWRP Recovery it will offer to root the phone for you on reboot

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Anthony820:
I know what they say about assuming, so hopefully it only takes place on your part here, but if you're assuming newer = better, you're very wrong. If you're on ICS, you aren't going to net any improvement by going to a JB modem. I know, without a doubt, ICS modems on stock JB cause major problems, so they really are software dependent. On top of that, if you're going it hoping to increase data with another (not AT&T) provider, you're picking a horrible modem to try that with. UCMB4 is the crowned ICS king of reception & data, and the blaze modems are a close second.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
Modems are independent of versions so flash any modem you want.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Anthony820:
This is someone who's run an ICS modem on stock jellybean for months. Trust him.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Windows Mobile 2005 Upgrading] Putra:
Hi, I want to remove the G icon next to the signal strength. Only the icon. I have tried using GBsoft to diable the GPRS after a set period of time. But I ended up getting the "no GPRS" icon (the one with the X and the 2 arrows). So, this kinda defeats the purpose.

I want to remove the icon so that I have more real estate there. I'm using a bible reader program, and sometimes I want to see where I am; and the G icon covers that information.

Anyone knows how to do this? Thx!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Windows Mobile 2005 Upgrading] imablackhat:
I want it to go away too since its pointless and you cannot connect with GPRS with it, so I use GPRS Monitor to connect/disconnect. =/.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Windows Mobile 2005 Upgrading] NxJay:
If you're using Spb GPRS monitor, just enable the gprsmon icon in options and place it over the 'G' icon, which effectively removes it.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moonboots:
Hello,

I'm unsure if this should be put in the device forum or if it's a general Android question since it's a Google proprietary app, but here goes. An acquaintance at my dad's office has a Verizon Droid 2 and had been using credits from Google Voice to make calls overseas to Germany as the company deals with manufacturing plants over there. Anyway, he loaded $10 onto his Voice account using Google Wallet (through the desktop URL) and the credit has processed. It shows he has $10 available, but when he makes the call to Germany, he is told that there is no credit available to make the call.

Does anyone have a fix for this issue that would allow the international calls to be made with the purchased credit?

Thank you.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acidboot3r:
So I recently bought a STAR N9500 phone from ebay that has the MTK6589. It was performing perfectly until I tried to connect to the wifi. It seemed as if it had issues connecting through DHCP because it was stuck in the 'obtaining IP address' part. Now I did a little research and I read that it was possibly a bug in the rom so I thought I should flash it to see if that would fix it. I've tried flashing it using my mate's windows 8 computer but I'm not entirely sure what happened, maybe it was because drivers were incompatible or there were permission errors, but it has left my phone in a state where it won't boot up. It would go into a blue android loading screen and then the screen would sort of go blank. Not completely, it maybe looks like it has froze or something, but I'm guessing that during my attempt to flash I must have meddled with the phone's loader or something, I don't know. What should I do?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] encryptioncsta:
I am disappointed in the Cameras on the Sony Xperia Z Ultra :(

Sony is the one company who uses there own optics and camera lenses so for even the middle range 8 megapixel found on the Z Ultra i am shocked at how bad the fuzziness/blurriness my photos are turning out :(

also not to mention the god awful zoom quality!!! :(:(:(

i was hoping the back facing 8 megapixel camera would of atleast of been the same if it better than the LG Google Nexus 4 camera :(

is it just me or is this indeed the same issues for all other Sony Xperia Z Ultra users?

Thanks in advance for taking the time to read

hope to hear the Community's thoughts on this
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
You bought a "phablet" that's 6.5mm thick and without a flash. You knew what you got yourself into, but i do agree. It's Sony after all, and i expected a little more from a company that's generally really good at making cameras. I wish they could chill with all the over processing and sharpening, and maybe, just maybe we'd get a tiny quality bump.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
Yes... 8Mp camera is not as good as it could be. The sensor is actually really good, and if sony left the post processing alone, and also didn't make the images so damn small (1-2mb per image) then it would be ok.

Because the image data cap is set so small, there is no depth to the images. Zooming in tells all.

It seems sony are mostly concerned with small images, that lack quality, as opposed to full sized images that use more space...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] avetny:
the camera was good on .475

after that camera is die.

Don't believe me? flash it.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] knite75:
All the reviews I have read, all mentioned the disappointment of the camera before my purchase.

As a result, I didn't expect much from the camera. However, I didn't expect it to be that <<BAD>> upon using the phone.

I'm contemplating about getting the QX10/QX100. But, I'm hearing from sources that it won't fit on our Ultra :(
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Leechoonhwee:
It seems that they upgraded the software on 532 and the camera is better now. I can take decent picture with minimum noise.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] avetny:
I just flashed cyanogen....and camera there is better than on any stock
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] AntiLazarus:
Is there a camera app anywhere that will let you adjust how much processing and \or compression you want?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] toadsurfer:
I don't have a Z Ultra so can't say if they work, but 'Camera FV 5' is meant to take lossless/raw photos and 'camera 360' I think has a compression setting, so you could try one of those two to see if the z ultra camera can give better results.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
hey when flashing to CM... whats with the boot.img and then booting to CWM to flash the ROM?

Why can't it just be using CWM to clean install and then flash CM and gapps?

Ive wondered that about sony devices for a while now
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] avetny:
Boot.img it's cyanogen own recovery :) so you basically flashing recovery which is working only with cyanogen.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
And how are you finding camera function? Cause that's probably the main reason I would change to cm. Obviously there are other pluses for Cm. But I do find the Sony ui pretty good. (apposed to touchwiz.. Lol)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] avetny:
Oh don't flash cyanogen (its too fresh build), wait until it get better.

But today at night I tested camera in Manhattan and it was a big difference compare to our stock.

Sorry for bad quality pictures (i was after party... Too many drinks lol)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
Bet it was a I great night... Ha ha..

that stock camera app? Or the Z1 mod? Or off the Playstore?

That's what I'm using. Custom ROM with the camera port off the Z1
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] baileyjr:
Doesn't the boot.img contain the kernel as well as the recovery?

If so its likely to be the Kernel that is specific to CM rather than the recovery.

Does the CM recovery contain TWRP or just CWM.. I really prefer TWRP myself.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] avetny:
That is cyanogen 10.2 ;)

---------- Post added at 11:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:34 AM ----------

Recovery located in boot.img (which is kernel also)

So could we separate them? Im used to flashing kernels, recovery's etc through recovery as zips.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] ddxBrandon:
I see all these posts asking why their light isn't working, or if it's different colors... but what about the light pulsing at different speeds?

To elaborate, I'm not running LightFlow, custom roms, or anything else that would mess with the LED, although the system is unlocked and rooted.

I walked into the room today to see my N7 blinking relentlessly at a speed of about 2 to 3 pulses per second.

Why would it be blinking this fast?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] roustabout:
You've seen Enemy of the State?

OK, probably it's that some notifications do different pulse settings depending on the app that's generating them.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] player911:
Some apps specifically light up the notifications directly. I remember way back on the Nexus One, some apps would light it up another color, even if I was stock.

I've never seen it on mine but I keep to the basic apps like gmail. I don't have Facebook or twitter installed (APW Widgets). Do you know what apps are triggering it?
