Closing Thread

I've gone right back to defaults now with odin and am beginning to think it's an issue with my SIM.

Just closing this thread.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fataldose:
Don't forget to take your EFS backup.

Maybe you will live that problem again.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bodii_91:
no it is not a SIM problem, i have the same problem, i did a backup for the previous rom but there is no network signal at all.

it would be great if anybody will help.

thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hendry:
try downgrade your modem..
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charlieegan3:
I didn't take an EFS Backup, the last time flashed a new ROM (Paranoid Android) I didn't need to. I assumed this would be the same story.

When you say you get no signal can you search for and find networks, only not connect? (That's my story)

To what version, which file and how? Like I mentioned in my last post, I've gone back to absolute factory settings and now my phone counts as unrooted. I'm thinking of just sending it to samsung. I assume they'll fix the issue if I pay them?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charlieegan3:
After looking into the issue some more it seems my IMEI has been wiped. Not sure if there's anyway out of that one...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] SantinoInc:
In locations I know for a fact have LTE. First thing I tried was ##72786#. I got excited when during the hands free activation of had a LTE signal for the first time. However, after the phone automatically reset it went back to LTE.

I have no idea what is going on here. This is my third Note 3. I'm on stock rooted MI5 firmware.

##DATA# can't be accessed because I don't have MSL but even if I did I wouldn't know WTF to do.

Anyone have advice?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bbradley:

I had this problem with my GS3 and was tired of calling them and them telling me that there was an LTE outage in my area OVER and OVER again. So I decided to take it into a sprint store and hold it next to the demonstration models and asked them why their LTE worked but mine clearly didn't work and that got their attention to exchange it out after they tried fixing it for 45 minutes.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Kompster:
Forgive me if I'm off, I was slightly confused by your post and I'm delirious from lack of sleep...

1. Try toggling airplane mode, this usually helps me reconnect to LTE.

2. Update your PRL and Profile.

Every Sprint PRL. (includes everything you need to know about PRLs)

3. Install LTE Discovery on the Google Play Store.

Good luck.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] SantinoInc:
Thanks for the advice but none of those things worked
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Kompster:
You experienced this with all 3 devices?

Did you have issues right out of the box?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] SantinoInc:
The first black phone from Best Buy worked flawlessly. The two white phones from Target had this issue.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Kompster:
Then it is safe to say it is a hardware issue, return and try again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] SantinoInc:
I was on the phone with Sprint Tech support for almost a full 45 minutes. The preliminary determination was that my SIM card # did not match up with what Sprint was showing on their computers. Unfortunately I'm not near an LTE area so I don't know if it worked or not.

I will post my findings tomorrow for those who have any interest.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] aCeMaN2001x:
Good luck man!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] SantinoInc:
My 45 minute call to Sprint paid off. Apparently my SIM card # did not match what Sprint had in their system. LTE seems to be working now. Hope this info helps someone
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mvansomeren:
That is good info. Maybe this thread should be a sticky. What would be nice is a way for users to verify their SIM card #s online.

Question - Is the SIM card just for 4GLTE? I did see one in my Note 3 but my past CDMA/Wimax Sprint phones didn't require a SIM card. I thought only GSM phones required a SIM card.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ycats:
I bought a Note-3 off of swappa.com, didn't come with SIM card.......so finally figured out that was the reason why I'm not getting 4GLTE.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ycats:
Picked up a SIM card from Sprint, all is good.........I now have 4GLTE.
[Sony Smartwatch] ScottXe:
I discovered a number of apps such as Speedometer / Compass for Smart Watch, WhatsApp alerts for SmartWatch do not work on Samsung Galaxy Note 2. Is it the issue of the smartwatch or the smartphone?
[Sony Smartwatch] apprentice:
It's working on the galaxy note 3 so not sure why you're having issues. It's usually the opposite for me as note 3 runs android 4.3 things work sporadically!

Hi guys! I have a problem. Today I was trying to install cyanogenmod on my friend's lg l5. He said me he has just rooted and locked BL on that phone but he hadn't already the CWM. So I searched guides to install it and I found that I could install it through ROM Manager. I have installed this app and then installed recovery. That app said me that the process had been fine. So I restart to enter recovery mode by pressing volume - anf power and then the central button but it didn't work. The phone restarted normally but it was hardly resetted? Why is happened?? I can't enter in recovery mode, I need help please :)

PS Sorry for my bad english :p
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YuriMasumoto:
Sorry if I do not understand what you said :cool:

The phone running on, do you pressed de volume- anf power and the home button?

If yes, you do wrong.

The correctly mode is press the same buttons, with the phone off, as you were turning on the phone.

Sorry for my bad english too :p
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matty1709:

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] White girl:
Why GT-I9505 is faster than GT-I9500 if it's a quad core? Apparently I'm lucky enough that GT-I9505 is even cheaper than GT-I9500 in the Motherland marketplace.

Also, is there anything that I need to check before purchasing? I can open the box, check what's on it, etc etc before buying it. Is there any fault I should check? Like S2 has few faulty models with bad chipset and you can check that easily before purchasing.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheCraig:
afaik the 9505 model has a Qualcomm 600 or 800, both in my opinion are better than Samsung's octa core. And besides only 4 cores are running at a time on the octa core.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RossFixxed:
It's more like two quad cores than eight concurrent cores. The one in the i9505 is faster.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] varund7726:
You guys are forgetting 3 things

1.the octa core s4 has a cortex a-15 quad core as the bigger core which is way faster than the Qualcomm one as the Qualcomm one is a9

2.there might be lags in overall animations but benchmark wise the octa core beats the quad core to the ground

3.if u guys really wanna see which ones better.wait for a stable AOSP ROM for i9500 and then compare

Wait n see how smooth n fast the i9500 actually is without Samsung's crapware
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dean-xXx:
I9500 is one of Samsung biggest failure, they rushed to launch it with their "octa" core, and they released an unfinished product with flaws.

I9505 it is faster after newer updates, and btw i9505 has OpenGL ES 3.0, i9500 doesn't.

So games will run smoother and with better graphics on Android 4.3+ on the i9505.

They're both great devices, but Samsung really fwcked up with i9500
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mflow:
1. yes, octa core has A15 Quad Core, as the big core. but the qualcomm one has Krait cores, based on A15, not A9 .

2. i do not know this, benchmark doesn't reflect real life usage.

3. hope so
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tanjiajun_34:
I lost my trust in Samsung Exynos processor due to the Mali issues in I9300 which make the development of I9300 way slower than the USA's S3. It took CM team so long to get a stable build out of it.

Anyway the good thing about the I9505 over the I9500 and for me even the Note 3 is having a Google Edition. At least porting new Android versions from I9505G to I9505 is easier and faster access to updates.

Dude ...adreno 320 GPU doesn't support all features of open gl es3.0

It just does it for namesake

And that GPU is way too old

Whereas powervr 544 is the same one used in phone 5 I guess which is like a 100 times faster than adreno
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crzykiller:
Uhm the Adreno 320 is actually as powerful as the powerVR SGX544 MP3 even if its running at a slightly lower clock speed... Ive hit 21 fps in gfxbench T-Rex and 52 in egypt Offscreen so its definitely not weak... Its also much more power efficient... I can play asphalt 8 using the performance governor for a good 3 hours straight easily...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fuser1337:
Qualcomm's processors sucks monkey balls. Its the GPU that is pretty that too only at supporting new APIs.

Imagination have pushed an API Extension which will enable OpenGL ES 3.0 key features.

The GPU in the iPhone 5 is the PowerVR SGX 543MP3 not 544
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] varund7726:
ya the 544 is a version higher

but still

have u seen the gaming performance on it??!wayy better than the adreno...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hazerm:
If you're talking about the gaming performance on the iPhone 5 compared to the adreno, forget it. IOS has more optimised gaming apps and I'm not too sure if you can get 60fps on the octa core S4 in asphalt 8 either. Hmmmm...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phisshion:
Hi, I'm a previous Nexus4 user and quite avidly tinkered around with android. After a less than desirable interaction with the floor, I was fortunately given an s3. Now I've read in a few places as well as on the CM wiki that the rooting the firmware on the s3 is " neither recommend nor required. " is this true? And why exactly?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
No idea why that would be said and S3 has many variants .

Rooting is the same advantage disadvantage as any other phone .

If you don't root then you don't flash custom roms or mods .

Rooting is not advised for those that cannot be bothered to read the faqs and guides or follow instructions .Rooting of course voids warranty .
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phisshion:
Well some of the articles suggested that rooting the s3 actually makes it slower.

The CM wiki mentioned that you don't need root to flash CM onto the s3.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sriram231092:
performance of the phone depends on how you use it after rooting. it may be amazing or sometimes disgusting. if you do everything perfect, nothing will go wrong! believe in you. not the critics.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ramsharmjarm:
my friend rooted his s3 and said its never felt smoother or had better battery life
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sriram231092:
what if i say i got 27 hours on basic usage and 17+ hours on high usage after rooting?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Rooting does nothing to speed up the phone it just gives you more options .

The CM wiki mentioned that you don't need root to flash CM onto the s3.

Suggest you find a CM rom that does that first .

But as said its all posted in the faqs and guides and roms all contain description and instructions .

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] achtung515:
I won't even get insurance on my phones. 5 bucks a month with a 10 dollar deductable. No thanks ill role the dice... by the time you need to make a claim you have already spent 100 bucks in monthly fees then another 100 for the claim. Them your spending 200 for a phone that's a year+ old.

With the watch the cost is only 300 I can't find a reason to insure that only to spend half the original cost on insurance 8 months down the road to have it replaced with refurbished out dated technology.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] alprazolam:
The claim from the other thread was that the watch was bought under warranty rather than insurance. That's a huge difference. I'd like to know about buying warranty as well. I bought mine from Verizon. Maybe I should take mine back and get one at BB, so that I can buy warranty. Sorry achtung515, but your logic doesn't make sense on a watch that costs this much and is very delicate.

I'm with you, and I can't believe I can't find anyplace to insure this thing. Please keep me posted if you find a place.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btaylor545:
Honestly I don't think it's the battery. I've had this problem myself before (Not quite 9 hrs but close). For me it was either a short in my cable and a new cable will fix this problem or simply rebooting your nexus 7 might fix it. Sometimes their are processes running in the background while it's charging (such as syncing Facebook or to Google) that will burn more energy than it has coming from the charger. I'd try to restart and then see how long it takes to charge. If this doesn't help then try charging it while it's off and check on it after 3 hrs (since it's the usual full charge time). If neither of these fix the problem then try replacing the cord and if none of it works it might be your battery after all but I'd try these tips before looking into a battery replacement. Hope this helps!
