Thank you! I ordered a micro SIM last night. My Note 1 uses a standard sized SIM.

What are your APN settings? I have tried every combination of settings that I can find without any success. I can get LTE, text, data, 4g, and send MMS. However, I cannot receive any incoming MMS messages. Let me know!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Twistedchild420:
The same from the booklet they send with the sim. All standard
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daddioj:
Straight talk with LTE has been a hassle. data works fine. but text and mms are a hit and miss. this with all correct settings. i went back to ATT go plan for 60 a month
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] titot4u:
Glad it worked for you. I have a Verizon Note 3 and even though it works, I am not getting 4G/LTE, only H+ service.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 4ringsa6:
There is a guy in my college who wants to sell his gs3. It is currently hot-lined. As in he still is in contract but the service has been shut off for non payment until payment is made.

So would it be possible to get this phone on another account in its as is state? He will not call in and cancel because he will not pay termination fees.

If I can't, how long does Sprint take to free the ESN from his account from non nonpayment by default?

Or do they automatically block that ESN forever until the bill is paid?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
I'm pretty sure you cannot activate a phone that is active on another account that is past due. You'd have to call sprint to get more info on it though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cj.lyon21:
The esn is blocked for roughly 90 days. After that, it can be activated on another account. I have had personal experience with the same thing involving an Evo LTE.

Sent from my AnthraX infected S3!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 4ringsa6:
Alright. I'm thinking about buying as he only wants $125.

But I thought the LTE was gsm on Sprint so wouldn't a new simcard just make the phone work?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kaos420:
dude sprint is cdma. there is no gsm on sprint. i still have my lte its cdma.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 4ringsa6:
There is gsm. The iPhone 5 for sprint is gsm and takes Sim. Without the Sim it picks up no signal at all. I am aware that sprint is CDMA. But their new LTE devices take Sim cards.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
That's really irrelevant, the galaxy s3 on Sprint does not have a sim card.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kaos420:
you should really do your research before you talk. the iphone for sprint is a CDMA device. it is a world phone which means it also can do gsm. but as the old touch pro which was also a world phone. the gsm side is locked to the carrier issuing the device. while back then you could hack and unlock the gsm side to work with any slip in sim. it is now illegal in the united states. google it. sprint is not and never will be gsm. bottom line. you can use their sim side over seas to pony off of gsm networks. but your bill in the end comes a cdma carrier who has a agreement with a gsm provider to provide you service.

proof is in the pudding

now all this is irrelevant to the question you asked. so the answer remains no.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] jbeitel:
Here are some instructions on how to use Wifi Hotspot after you are rooted.

install Xposed Framework from HERE

after you have xposed framework setup, download Wanam Xposed from the Play Store and install it. Go into Exposed framework app, go to modules and check (enable) the wanam mod. Reboot.

After you are rebooted, go into Wanam xposed app, goto system, check "Disable tether provisioning. Reboot

this allows you to use hotspot without provisioning, but if you go to the verizon hotspot icon or configuration, it sees it and shuts it off. So we will add a hotspot quick panel icon to turn it on.

Download and launch SQLite Editor

1. Open up SQLite Editor - Select the Apps tab on top and scroll down until you see Settings Storage and click it

2. Click on Ssettings.db

3. Click on system

4. Click on the search icon on top right

5. Type in the word notification in the Filter Value field and click ok

6. Once the results load up, tap on notification_panel_active_app_list (should be the bottom result) and click on the pencil icon on top to edit

7. In the Value field, you'll see all your toggles listed. All you have to do is add the word WiFiHotspot <-- just like that, with the three caps, with a semi colon right after. Make sure there's no space after the semi colon. Once you add WiFiHotspot, click the save button.

8. Close SQLite editor and reboot your phone. Once your phone boots back up, you should now have the Wifi toggle in quick settings like mine below!

Now, to use it, click on the quick panel icon you just made called wifi hotspot. Hit Home so you go to the home screen. Dont go to the Verizon Hotspot icon or the Hotspot configure, just use it like that and it works good. Takes a minute or two to establish internet access after your computer connects but it works, I have confirmed it.

Is it possible to add a torch toggle somehow?

Is there any free apps Sq apps?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] jbeitel:
You can search the store and see.this is the only one I have ever used
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] leyvatron:
I posted this in another thread....

Hotspot works out of the box.

All you do is configure it then turn it on. A verizon window will pop up, DONT click cancel, just click the home button and you are set.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] jbeitel:
Sweet.good to know
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] RGSPro:
Is there any way to hide or disable the verizon subscription popup?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] ForeverSupra:
JB a good guy? HA! Lol, jk. Good job JB, thats a lot of trial and error I'm sure.

I have to admit that I'm not the most informed when it comes to wifi tethering, so sorry if this is a dumb question...

But does this prevent Verizon from tracking the tethering? The only reason I ask ask is that I still have unlimited.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] asianflavor:
I tethered this way since I got my Note 3 and been tethering ever since I had my Droid X. I'm unlimited also.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] bskarpa:
Has anyone tested Foxfi? I have used it with my previous phones when rooted but currently it pops up the Verizon subscription thing. Would I still need to check the "Disable tether provisioning" box in Xposed? Normally I just check the box within Foxfi to start tethering.

Sent from my hacked Galaxy N3!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] smoothjeff:
doesnt this work without needing to use the quick settings icon? if you disable tether provisioning with wanam, then just open the mobile hotspot app you can click the home button when the "error subscription required" message comes up and tethering should still work
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] jbeitel:
Someone already pointed that out. But the quick toggle is nice
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] toddnbrown:
thanks for the efforts... I'm only being picky, but a way to get rid of the VZ notification would be really nice.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Rootuser3.0:
Yea it seems no one can take away that annoying subscription message even the devs that had it baked in their note 2 roms...they pr probably stole it and said it was their own work
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] jbeitel:
It is annoying but a small price to pay for what you get. If we didn't have Samsung we wouldn't even have that option
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] td1320:
You can also click on the Configure button and set up the password and change the Name of the hotspot. I confirmed it works tethering my Nexus 7 to the Note 3.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] TweakerL:
In Wanam Xposed there's an option to have the torch turn when you hold VOL+ while the screen is off. It can be turned off by timeout (also in Wanam Xposed) or pressing Vol-

Does this method still work even after the update? I'm looking to dump my $30 tether plan n use this to tether on my note 3

Yes it does work, I updated yesterday finally and no issues so far....
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Delirious17:
Sqlite editor is crashing when loading to like 445, java.lang.outofmemoryerror seems to be the problem.

What could be causing this?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] chuckbeez:
Wifi Hotspot issue.

So I just went through this whole xposed process for the first time and I have to say I love it. Locked bootloader on the note 2 really messes with roms so this is excellent. I got my wifi hotspot button onto the notification area via sqlite (awesome btw) and booted it up. It turns on but vzw quickly disables it. is there another patch i can put on? i am so tired of using vpn through foxfi and having a screen pattern. This would allow me to bypass that jazz and just hit the hotspot button i just made.

Much thanks to your efforts btw.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] airmaxx23:
Since you're rooted why not install one of the available ROMs that has the tethering working without any tricks?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] chuckbeez:
Locked Bootloader :/

I have the note two on VRUEMJ9 with a locked up bootloader so I'm trying to mod without using the alpha stage safestrap. Not really sure if I'm ready to commit to such a volatile safestrap yet.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] airmaxx23:
When you try to start the tethering do you get a message that pops up telling you to call a number to activate tethering? If you do just hit Home and it should be working.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] chuckbeez:
Nope.

So I tried that right away assuming it would work, it didn't. I then reprovisioned tethering in wanam, rebooted, unprovisioned tethering and rebooted. It ALMOST worked but it turns off immediately when I get the vzw toast notification. Any thoughts anyone? I would absolutely love it if we could figure out native tethering on an unlocked/rooted verizon note 2. I use foxfi but I know its days are limited for sure.

---------- Post added at 02:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:31 PM ----------

So...here's what I have so far. You can get hotspot through foxfi and blow your pin five times then gain entry via gmail login. After that I turned off foxfi, turned back on and it worked without the pin!!! Rebooted and it still worked without a pin! Ballin! but if anyone finds a non-zip way to allow the note 2 to use native hotspot, I'd love that!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] igotgame:
I know this is old, but "X Tether" module in xposed will allow the WiFi hot spot toggle to work. I'm on a 4.3 rooted stock Note 3 with safestrap recovery.

As a side note.. I also had FoxFi installed and was using it before rooting and using xposed and adding the WiFi Hotspot toggle to my notification panel.

Thanks for your help, I appreciate it.

It is called "X tether" in the module download list, but then shows up as Moto Tether after installed.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] greaneagle:
Hello everyone,

I encountered a problem while flashing a new rom on my new (actually 1,5 years old) Xperia U.

I rooted it and managed to instal the CWM touch recovery (using the CWM-instaler) and when i tried to flash a new rom (eXperiance V2.1)

the rom stopped installing (it has a special installer where u select apps and stuff, u probably know of it) and it didn't move on... i had no other option but to take out the battery. When i tried to turn on the phone again it just showed the sony logo, then automatically restarted, showed the logo again for a few seconds and restarted, and kept doing that until i took out the battery again...

So i tried the flashtool and i can connect the phone in flashmode (green led), but i cant connect it in fastboot mode (it connects but then suddenly disconnects as the phone restarts). I wanted to flash a new .ftf file but somehow when i put my file in the /firmware folder and turn on flashtool it is not visible in the files i could flash (just the stock x10 file is there) so im really at a loss...

Anyone got any ideas?

i did backup my previous rom but since i cant boot my phone into recovery that's not a lot of help...

I might also mention that the phone was running ics 4.0.4. and that the bootloader was locked ( i did have root tho...)

If you want any extra info just ask :)

Any help would be appreciated thank you :)

Solution: I did what dara007_168 said, which was:

1. Put the file into folder firmware(make sure the file is FTF

2.open flashtool don't do anything

3.select lightening icon and select flash mode then select the download firmware

4.wait for the pop up said

"Turn off your device....."

5.turn off your Xperia u at least 30 second

6.press the volume down key with the same time connect your phone to computer via usb (make sure to have driver install)

7.wait till it finished done

at first this didn't work for me since i had some problems with the flash tool but then i re-downloaded the older version of the flashtool and the firmware and also reinstalled the drivers.

After that it worked and i could normally flash the generic firmware.

How could you flash the kernel with a locked bootloader?

Have you installed the drivers from flashtool drivers directory, what windows version you have?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dara007_168:
Bro u can't flash custom kernel when your bootloader is locked the only way to fix it is to flash back to stock rom via flashtool or Sony update services

Sorry for no reply for so long but i made a video and here's the screenshot of my flashtool

I am using Win 7 64x and i have installed the drivers in the flashtool driver directory.

There is a chance the phones bootloader was unlocked though... i didn't check (honestly i didn't know how)

Thanks for trying to help :)

(sorry i haven't got enough posts to post links)

Edit: I tried using sony update service and it gave me an error stating that the software installed on my device cant be updated... probably becouse it has a half of a custom rom flashed, or am i missing something here?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dara007_168:
Bro I think you should flash stock firmware. I think u know how to use flashtool that easy.

1.charge battery until it full i don't know if u can charge battery or not but u should

try. I have the same problem by flash the same rom as your but mine is different it stuck on the boot animation so it can charge but u I don't know

2.download stock firmware

3.flash it

4.done
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:
Firmware is flashed in flash mode not fastboot, see how long can you stay in flash mode, though fastboot should be on forever.

Did you unlock your bootloader?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] greaneagle:
@ dara007_168 I think the phone should be reasonably charged, since i started doing things on it with a full charge and didn't really use it much, so i don't believe that's the problem. I downloaded the firmware u said and again i have the same problem with flash tool... i put the file in the correct folder, but when its time to flash it to the phone (which is correctly connected) it just isn't there, i cant select the the file i downloaded.

@ ChikeD The flash mode stays connected for about 45sec and then it goes into boot loop and about the boot loader i actually think i managed to unlock it a few hours ago (i did the necessary steps on the sony site and got the code before i bricked the phone) and now i entered the number in the flash tool and i think it actually did unlock my boot loader... although i don't know how to check that...

Oh, and fast boot mode stays on forever i think (ill let it charge a bit in fast boot mode, since the red light beside the camera is on so i think its charging)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dara007_168:
Bro do as i said

1. Put the file into folder firmware(make sure the file is FTF

2.open flashtool don't do anything

3.select lightening icon and select flash mode then select the download firmware

4.wait for the pop up said

"Turn off your device....."

5.turn off your Xperia u at least 30 second

6.press the volume down key with the same time connect your phone to computer via usb (make sure to have driver install)

7.wait till it finished done

Ps:i never have any flashtool problem i used it since October 2012

Yow man, thanks for helping me out like this but there is a problem when i try to do those steps.

At step 3. I select the lightning icon, and the small pop up window appears and i select flash mode, and then

the window opens called Firmware selector, but the firmware is nowhere in that window and i don't know why...

i know where it should be i checked some videos it just isn't there...

Would it help if i posted screenshots of all the steps?

ow and another thing.

would it work if i tried to use fastboot and flash a kernel from that option? or maybe even flash the firmware?

And i guess this might be a useful peace of information, i am using Flashtool Version 0.9.12.1 built on 2013-06-04 22:50:00
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dara007_168:
