[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] NoviceHacker:
And on a side note, the SIII is completely stock from the manufacturer, aside from having the most current updates (Firmware etc). And I would like to emphasize that I have no access to any kind of "sim" card, nor will I ever. If there is a way to connect a Sprint SIII to the AT&T network, the method absolutely can not involve sim cards, and must be able to be done on a completely updated S3.

The last time I ever messed with the internals of a phone was back when the LG Ally was first released, and I did a one touch root, so I could use Verizons data through a WiFi hotspot, and not have to pay for a hotspot data package. So other than that I have not one pinch of knowledge or experience in this, as I've never had the need for it until now. I can follow instructions, but every single thread I've found on this site is so mind numbingly vague, it may as well read "insurt teh usb, do teh magix stuff, unplugs teh usb, ta-da!" And I'm not trying to start anything, I'm just trying to put into perspective how absolutely lost i am.

I tried the *# code in the dialer, and nothing. (probably bc i have NO sim cards)

I called AT&T and had them change the IMEI on my second line to the Sprint SIII

I read countless novel length threads on here, all of them seemingly useless.

I went to the sprint store to have them unlock it, they refused, naturally.

There is not an AT&T retail location for MANY miles, not like they'd be helpful anyway I assume...

I'm just stuck, all these threads do not apply to me, but I'm sure there's a way... There has to be.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tannimdragon:
To be able to connect the phone to the AT&T network you have to have a SIM card, without SIM you will never get to connect to the AT&T network. Your best bet would be to check here or craigslist to see if someone might be willing to exchange phones. or to purchase or upgrade to a phone with a SIM card slot, no sim card slot no service with AT&T.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bit1:
I'm not a dev but I can tell you this.

1. Please do not insult one of the best source for Android development because you refuse to read the stickies and tutorials.

2. I'm sorry but a CDMA only Sprint Galaxy S3 does not have the necessary hardware to use AT&T's network. Though you state there must be a way you are unfortunately wrong in this case.

3. Prepare to get flamed and possibly have this thread closed.

4. You should try a Sprint MVNO or other CDMA based phone company like Boost, Virgin Mobile, etc.

5. I feel sorry if by girlfriend's phone you mean you bought a hot phone off someone.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] scottdanpor:
We're not here to flame, he has a legitimate question and simply needs an answer. Bit1 is right it's a CDMA phone and won't work with AT&T. It's very unfortunate but you won't get it to work. Your best bet now is to resell it as a CDMA phone and purchase the AT&T version.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] NoviceHacker:
Well, I guess that solves that, lol. Yeah I did some foot work around the city, talked to several retailers and a couple techs, learned a lot more a lot quicker. So yeah it basically comes down to the radio being in a completely different band/freq wtfe than AT&T uses. (The whole CDMA and the other deal). I mean the IMEI isn't locked, the phone isn't "hot". She's behind $250 on her sprint bill and now has a $300 paperweight, so I was trying to add the phone to my AT&T plan. Anywho, thanks for clearing this up. As far as trying to sell the thing, I saw a kiosk with a used S3 for $280? Is there even a market for S3's? They don't exactly seem like the "in" thing anymore if you catch my drift. My next question would be, if I sold the phone to someone who wanted to use it on the Sprint network, can they use it? More specifically I know they lock IMEI's if they're reported stolen/lost, but would they do it for not making a bill payment? (She hasn't used the thing/had service in over a month now...) My goal really is to figure out what to do with the thing. Best Buy offered $150 for an S3, but I don't know if the IMEI is good or not : / The screen is cracked so i was going to get a $15 one off EBay, fix it, and sell it. My concern is on selling the thing, should I make the $15 investment and chance not being able to sell the thing? I'm broke as all get out, so I'd rather have the 3 packs of cig's than a wasted investment lol.

Anybody need an SIII?

With KitKat comes some great optimizations and the best of them is Project Svelte...KitKat is designed to run well on phones with just 512 mb of memory...

I hope we get to see this before X-mass I think most of us will get an upgrade by then.

I think I may be "last man standing" with this phone soon! It will be three years old this coming February, right? Pretty amazing run for a phone that was abandoned by Samsung/T-Mobile not long after it was released.

Is JB that much of a stretch on the hardware that KitKat is hopefully going to provide relief? Or is it more that people want the latest and greatest?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Theraze:
KK has the ability to set RAM requirements to 512mb, like our phone has. JB wants a gig to work reliably. Which is why apps like the keyboard keep force closing on JB.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Cooptx:
I can verify that KK is actually amazing on 512mb RAM phones. It it awesome one my Vibrant. If you guys can get ART working on the SGS4G, it will probably be one of the smoothest things we have had in a while.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ithunter:
KK for t959V

i am hoping for that and best wishes to Devs

#Please :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] DickyG:
Actually, you won't be "last man standing". Since our contract is up and by keeping our phone our monthly bill has gone way down, wife, children, and I have all decided to keep this phone. It does exactly what we want it to do and does it very well. I have been running CM9 for quite a while now...have not gone to any of the JB ROM's because I need working GPS. Since I am not a developer, I can only hope that some of our developers stay with this phone and can come up with a fully functioning JB or even KK. But for now, ICS works fine for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] inimeg81:
I beg to differ on the last man standing, although im replying from a different phone i have 2 sgs4gs next to me and this has always been my fav device. On this i577 i got it unlocked and put my tmobile sim in. In cm10.2 and 11 if i flash att mode. It shows 4g icon which i thought was odd for cm. On tmobile modem flash it only shows hsdpa+. Anyway id have to say that kitkat on this device seems so memory management crazy ( i guess in a good way ) that i think it would work to par or better then jb on t959v. I think giving the right partition layout is key. I think dao said if he was ever going to do kitkat it wouldnt be a port. I hope for it for this device... I think the most stable running are djl 10.1 and slim bean 10.2 w/0902 nilmhl kernel that sets 396mb. Kk seems to be faster then jb on most roms on i577 and its still in alpha. Battery is tiny bit an issue tho
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] GFX.myst.:
still have my sgs4g sitting around for testing. i will say this though, got my s2 herc running on custom cm 11 linaro and ART, and I must say this thing hasn't run any better. would be awesome to get kit kat for the sgs4g. if someone gets a build for it, i'll test it and compare with my s2. on a side note, i might be getting an s3 in the near future, which will mean 2 test phones for me. :p

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] daothanhduy1996:
If no one beats me bringing kitkat til next week, I will try my best w slimkat rite after the exam week (this week) :). I hope our /system has enough space for KitKat and it's gapps.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
I never would have thought of calling Google "bloatware" back in the Froyo days -- T-Mobile, yes, but...

Now I find that 20 GB for the "out" directory isn't enough to compile cm-10.2

gapps, at least for ICS, can be trimmed pretty substantially and still have Play and Maps. I suspect though that many want JB or later for the Google apps, not just as a platform for other apps.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] daothanhduy1996:
Yah, I agree, n moreover, kitkat gapps w ART compatibility requires extra space for odex files also, not mention addition space taken by apps after ART conversion so mayb Kitkat helps w the RAM comsumption, but at the same time it consumes resources as well (including specific partitions like /system n /data). So sad that Sammy n T-mo just left us 1GB for all of the partitions (or correct me if I am wrong) :(
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
Yeah, every .apk in /system ends up needing its .odex somewhere -- on our device that means either the Dalvik cache in /data, or, if you use something like Titanium Backup, moved back into /system. Either way, you're working against the 1 GB hardware limit for both pieces in the current file-system layout.

You can potentially use the microSD for /data (that's what I'm doing under ICS), or go to extremes put everything on the microSD (which seems excessive). I'm trying to clean up the 10.x build tree to make the merge with KitKat a lot cleaner and clearer. I'm also helping [MENTION=1949378]bhundven[/MENTION] a bit on seeing what can be cleaned up (removed) in the kernel sources to get that closer to "mainline" kernel code.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rhg135:
I'd be happy to help out

I'm probably going to pickup a new phone for the lte and screen res, but I'm willing to work on this. I'm just not sure where to start; so far I haven't been able to get a working 4.3 build as there is little info on building for this device.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Cooptx:
If you are holding on to the S4G just for bill sake, then you should look into the Moto G. It comes unlocked. $199 for the 16GB version and 50GB storage for two years on Google Drive. 8GB version is $179. I am not telling you to ditch the S4G, but it is something to look into. GPS on stock KitKat 4.4.2 locks under a second sometimes. It hasn't taken over a minute for me yet, even indoors? No LTE, but the S4G doesn't either. You still get HSPA+ on the Moto G, but it only reads as 3G. Camera is not that great, but it can take some nice shots. Same goes for everyone else :) I think it is a great phone! It just came out, so not that much dev support right now. Dev support is expected though :D Just something to think about.
[HTC Tornado] PhilDrysdale:
I'm really interested in getting one of these phones, I currently have a Blue Angel which has about 15000 sms messages on it. I'd like to transfer these onto the device so I have a copy of my texting past (thoughts on the possibility of this would be gratefully recieved). I also get a good 2000 texts or so a month - Is this going to be an issue on this phone? Can it handle the storage of so many texts? Is there anyway to change the settings to allow the storage of the messages on the miniSD card?

Anyone know the answers to any of these questions?

Thanks in advance
[HTC Tornado] this_mike:
You get around 70 texts a day?! :shock:

Carumba.

Maybe some kind of teleprinter would be a better option than a new phone? :lol:
[HTC Tornado] PhilDrysdale:
Give or take, most of my texts are 2 or 3 texts long - i.e. well over the 160 limit hence the amount.

I think that will probably change a bit now i have a smaller screen and don't have a qwerty keyboard - I get into the mindset i'm sending emails.

::Edit::

Just adding now that i've just read the review on mobiletechreview (http://www.mobiletechreview.com/phones/imate_sp5m.htm) and noticed it says that you can only send texts up to 640characters (4 texts) this would also be a problem, any ideas if this can be modified with a registry edit or something?

Hi Sensation forum,

Im popping over from samsung section as my friend has asked me to flash his HTC Sensation (Beats). ive been flashing my sgs1, 2 and 3 for the last couple of years so I wouldnt say i was a noob and can follow written/video instructions but to be honest the prep for htc is nothing like the simplicity over at sgs forums and hence the few following questions.

My friend has made a backup of all data (contacts, msgs etc) and is happy for me to wipe his phone. He is currently on stock ics and wants to get rid of sense and enjoy pure android. I was thinking cm 10.1 or maybe 10.2. (albinoman887's)

Im fine flashing ROMS etc but its preparing the phone beforehand that im not confident without xda support.

Ive been reading about S-off but then got confused about 4EXT and not needing s-off. I already have bookmarks of a few guides ready in case network and mms isnt working.

Can anybody guide me please?! Nice simple steps if possible :o

Hi everyone,

Today I got the gt-i9195. I know it has 8 GB of internal storage. I inserted my 32 GB sdcard. But the phone still detects the 8 GB as the external sdcard and the 32 GB sdcard as a second storage. Is there any way to set the 32 GB card as the primary card so that every app accesses the proper storage?

Phone is still unrooted and has stock rom.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeusEx80:
I'm also interested... clearly the root is needed.

And disabling emulated sdcard would be the best (so this space is used only for /data).
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fburgos:
I think there is no need of such thing, first you need root then try foldermount (lidroid file explorer+super mount works fine) to move your large folders to sd card like obb files, downloads, music and all folders

Any script to swap internal to external sd card for i9190 ?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fburgos:
Don't see the point of swap all internal to external since external is slower and you loose 6gb of storage, but i think you need a init.d support kernel and script like int2sd+

[MENTION=5115167]iKlutz[/MENTION] how you get it working?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeusEx80:
1) the internal sd (/mnt/sdcard) is an

emulated

sdcard (/data/media) and it shares the space with the user data (/data): unique partition.

So disabling the internal sdcard, the 6gb of storage become all for user data.

2) The external sdcard isn't slower if you have a microsd SDXC class 10: you only gain more space in /mnt/sdcard.

Since the Nexus 5 is using the same chipset as the Note 3, getting some things going won't be as difficult. I'd give it 2 months before we see a "stable" enough build. I personally don't considering AOSP builds 100% stable as there seems to be bugs with them, IF it's running on a NON-Nexus device... Just a personal feeling on it though...

But those who do want AOSP, it won't take as long as some may think. Note 3 is the only device that's really really new still, G2's been out a little bit, if I'm not mistaken. But like I said, Nexus 5 uses S 800, like the Note 3. It'll come sooner than some may think....
