[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Jackson8r:
Ok so I was an idiot today and dropped my i777 in water. It fell into the three pieces (back, battery, screen), and i quickly dried it off and it turned on. i then left it in my pocket, and when i took it out, the battery was sizzling. Apparently, it humidified enough and left water marks on the phone. Nothing big, and the water indicators (?) on the phone haven't changed color, so there wasn't significant damage. However, i tried turning it on then, and it wont go past the boot logo (Galaxy SII) without looping and the battery still sizzles. I'm running bone stock, if that helps. Right now it's in rice just in case, but is there anything i can do other than wait?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] :
Dropped in water? It's probably stuck on bootloop because of a battery issue or the internal SD got a little farked with the water and it corrupted it. Nothing you can do about it. If it works dried out then consider it a miracle.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cyril279:
dropping the phone in water doesn't make you an idiot. Life happens fast. Drying it off is the best effort, but you should always wait as long as possible to turn the device back on. The real killer is the water that gets into the crevices and creates short circuits where they don't belong -time gives those hidden bits of moisture a chance to dry out on their own. The bag of rice trick might have worked if it was the first thing that you did after drying it off. This may not be super helpful for this device, but hopefully it will help you in the future.

"Bheestie Bags

Silica gel packets are an alternative to rice. And a company called Bheestie actually sells a special bag that is meant just for saving your wet gadgets. The bag costs $18.14 (or $20.00 at some places) and has special packets inside. They aren't your typical silica gel packets either -- the little packets have a special molecular sieve desiccant formula, according to the company. Open the bag, drop your phone in for 24 hours, and the phone might just come out working again. The bag did work with an old BlackBerry, but we didn't have an extra iPhone for a test. According to the company, the bag soaks up water 700 percent better than rice. It is available through Amazon.com and other e-tailers."

Received my G2 from online during the "glitch" unlimited data weekend. So after I tried to activate online, the phone never hold 4G for more than about 30 sec. Next day went into Vz Store and they said their is bad batch, and wouldn't give me one. Next day tried 2nd store, they gave me a new one, but after an hour it didn't activate. Today (day 4) I went to last store in this area and they spent an hour and tried some more things, and they tried a new one and it did the same thing, no activation. I'm waiting until next week to walk in a swap for a working G2. One of the employees mention that the LG Rep came by and asked about activation problems and mentioned a work around. They didn't have his card and never found a solution.

Any ideas?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dante501:
Is the evil Verizon empire lol
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KrisisTP:
The problem I had with the G2 is that it came with a SIM card in the phone, but it wouldn't activate using that one. I had to use the one that was shipped with the device. I was not sure on the difference between the two internally except the one in the phone that didn't work was all white, and the one that did work was white with a red stripe across it.

It may not be the phone, it may be the SIM. Ask for a replacement SIM for that line and see if it activates?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stigy:
Same issue for me.

My Verizon G2 came with a SIM installed, but it would not activate with that SIM. The only way to get it to activate was to use the other SIM that came in the box that I had to pop out of the larger card that came in a red envelope.

Either way this week I'll be going into one of the 3 stores I've already visited and try to get a work G2. They mentioned to local LG Rep came in a asked had they had activation issues, but they had only sold one, and he mentioned a work around, but they didn't get the info and didn't have the Reps business card. I hit LG support site and dropped an email, about to hit them up on chat. Thanks for the feedback. This phone is a beast.

If you are on 4.3, just change the APN as described above and it will work.

If you are using kit Kat/touch wiz rom, you will have to wait for 4.4.3 to be released as there is a known VPN issue(data stability) with kit Kat/touch wiz.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theomajigga:
Got it:

Here was the steps I had to take!

a little background first:

- S-off

- AT&T locked

- running HD20

-SuperCID

- latest second to last firmware package

I was leaving AT&T so I called for the unlock code, got it from them, ported my number to T-Mo USA.

Unlock code didn't work, In hindsight it was because I was running a different radio (somewhere)

- upgraded to latest firmware package thinking that it would help the unlock code. Didn't work at all, was stuck in bootloader, or HTC screen. was able to flash recoveries, and boot into them, but they wouldn't actually "do" anything. Wouldn't install a rom, wouldn't root. Nothing. Tried flashing multiple roms with no luck, nothing "stuck"

Gave up for the night and grabbed the ol' myTouch 4G.

Only got 2 hours of sleep for a 10 hour work day :P

Today I was trying everything I could think of, RUU updates (Error 155), RUU zip, locking/unlocking the bootloader everything. Then I realized that I needed to RUU it and it had to have the matching CID. I fastbooted and CIDd the brightstar CID. Flashed the brightstar firmware package (second to latest one), and then ran the RUU successfully.

To top it off, the unlock code worked.

Hope this can help someone!

Hello all so took it upon myself to try and help my father out with his tablet. Tried the steps outlined in this post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=45946493&postcount=3004 The unit wasn't on the 7.2.3 bootloader so i proceeded to flash that before following the steps outline in that post.

Still nothing the tablet boots to the logo and shuts down. Will i need to purchase one of the fastboot cables or a nexus 7?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
If it's a kfhd 7" or kf2, then a fastboot cable is your best bet, the fastboot getvar product command only works on a 8.9" model unless you have 2nd boot loader on the other models.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aali1011:
Damn well that's better then having to pay for a new tablet. I put it on the charger after reading that it may be a charging issue. I know it only trickle charges through USB. It still does the same thing but where the screen would be black behind the kindle fire logo it is green with lines running through it. I will let it charge try again and then buy the cable if anything. Any other thoughts or ideas?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
Uh I hope the boot loader isn't damaged too bad, I haven't heard of green lines going through it before, usually if something goes bad with the 2nd bootloader installation process(aka not downgrading first) it results in a red screen. This is probably due to a bad download of the boot loader, that's why it is always key to check the md5sum of the boot loader before you downgrade it.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LinearEquation:
Lines in the screens, good LCD screen not withstanding, are not good. Normally this is a firmware issue that required Amazon to send a replacement. Let's hope KFFA restores everything for you.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aali1011:
I let it charge overnight and booted it and it is still only booting to the kindle fire logo and shutting down. Luckily the screen is black now rather than the green I mentioned. So is my best course of action the fast boot cable and then KFFA? I will try the fastboot commands again when i get home. Is KFFA only going to help me in the sense of restoring the files or will it potentially help me with the fastboot process as well? The above method that I used with the fireflash 11 is that proper or should i be doing it some other way?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
I personally think the fire flash method is the easiest, some people brick though because they don't follow the instructions properly, I don't think this was the case with you though. That kindle is more than likely not going to go into fastboot with commands, that typically is a 8.9" thing unless you have a successful flash of 2nd bootloader. I know kffa restores the system partition and recovery and boot, but I am unaware if it flashes the boot loader, and I am pretty sure you definitely need to reflash the bootloader since it had lines through it.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LinearEquation:
You must have a fastboot factory cord, not a regular USB. Watch this video to make sure you have your ADB driver set up right http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaNM-lt_aHw Use KFFA to restore to 7.2.3. Choose that option as Hashcode has a 7.2.3 boot.img that will match the firmware you will be using, reducing the chance or bootlooping a great deal.

Hi All,

I have a JarJar WM 5 phone and I can't seem to get PEAP working on the phone with my work network.. My laptop is configured with PEAP and MSCHAPv2 authentication. The client in WM5 allowed you to select PEAP but if click on _Properties_ in the configuration it complains that the network requires a personal certificate to positively identify me although that is not the case with the laptop or any other wireless pc in the building. If I just leave it on PEAP I get a login and password prompt when it connects to the access point. I enter the correct username and password and it attemps to connect for a few minutes and fails. Anyone have it sucessfully working on this type of network?

Thanks!

band 7 2600 Supported by i337 and m919 band 7 used in Europe and Canada

The i337 (AT&T model) does the same LTE bands as the T-Mobile model. It only lacks AWS HSPA+ (3G), which the mod in this thread enables. I would have gotten the M919, but T-Mobile doesn't sell the 32GB model, plus AT&T variants are generally cheaper.

No model sold in the US (including the i9505G Google Edition) will do 800 or 2600 MHz. The i337M does though (Rogers Canada). Europe uses completely different LTE frequencies than the US.[/QUOTE] END QUOTE

The m919 according to this supports 2 and 5 bands that the i337 does not, i am new to this but as i said i picked this phone for international use aswell and would like to know the truth. But according to my information, Vodaphone in Germany uses to main bands 7 and 20. 7 Being the one that the US variant could receive.

since the I337 is basically the same in Canada, i looked up Bell

Bell :

Bell Canada 1700 4 FDD September 2011 [75][76]

Bell Canada 2600 7 FDD March 2012 [77] available in Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge and Toronto for additional bandwidth.

Both 4 and 7 are support by both devices, since 7 is on freq 2600mhz in Canada and is the same I337 as AtnT would it not be right to assume that the phone could get band 7 in europe? It is true that AtnT does not use those bands in the US but that does not mean the phone cannot support them. Furthermore i picked the M919 because of its native AWS support and the 30$ 5GB 4GLTE Tmobile Plan BOYA talk about savings..... I am curious to know if im correct, my research lends me to think I am. Europe uses mostly band 3 and 7! 7 Being the one you want!

They list there LTE in MHz but i believe 2600 IS band 7 which the US variants support. My confusion is that AWS is listed in there LTE part and in the US its under the HSPA part. A little clarification and first hand experience with internation use of US variant S4s would be great for poeple who have trouble getting good information from the other side of the world!!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Product F(RED):
Lol why are you copying and pasting my posts? As for your question, AWS is used for LTE on T-Mobile (and in very few areas by AT&T, which is why their devices also do AWS LTE). However, AT&T requests that AWS HSPA+ be disabled on their devices because they only use 850/1900 MHz for HSPA+ and it would only benefit those looking to switch to T-Mobile if they left that 1700 MHz band activated.
