WTH

I flashed the toolbox, still no MSL. I also have the Sprint Epic Touch. I have now spent nearly 3 weeks browsing through forums and getting nowhere. :mad: I am trying to use my old sprint phone on Net10 and I need my MSL to activate my phone. This is making me nuts! I need help so I can be done with this little tiny Galaxy Proclaim and get back to my gs2.

---------- Post added at 12:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:42 AM ----------

I have the custom recovery as well.. after trying all of this, I went into terminal emulator, typed getprop ril.MSL and it just flashed down to the next line. I have tried both using terminal as a regular user and a super user. does not make a difference. Is it possible to just wipe Sprint software off of the phone and install a generic? I can't stress enough how going from my gs2 with its big sexy screen to this tiny proclaim that is, well, no bueno, is killing me. I hate the proclaim....For the love of everything that is holy, please someone help me out here. Am I doing something wrong? I am new to this, but I have read and followed step by step what to do and it keeps ending up a waste of time :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wizardknight:
Have you tried the Sprint diags. The only thing that works in it for me is the ability to display the MSL.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
I have also seen it posted that it does not work on the Boost & VM stock ROMs, you may have to flash a DeOdex TouchWiz ROM

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] capriquarian:
I have an external sd card formatted as 54 gb fat32,3gb ext4, and swap. When I insert the sd card and restart, the phone storage partition (/sdcard) disappears. When I look for the partition with a file manager it appears as if the link is broke because /storage/sdcard0 is also missing. Instead my app storage partition shows 16 gb.

This is bad because I can't access the internal or external sd card partitions. If I remove my external sd card and reflash the rom everything is ok.

I followed a guide so that I could setup app2sd. My assumption is that I would have access to the fat32 partition on the external sd card while also using the ext4 partition for app2sd. What am I doing wrong?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] iandmacdonald:
Just curious. Why did u partition your card?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] capriquarian:
I for some kind of app/data 2 sd solution. I keep running out of internal storage.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] iandmacdonald:
Weird. I'd say to reflash the rom fresh after a clean wipe. Also, if u have that many apps, I'd consider disabling or unistalling some.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] capriquarian:
its mostly the media scanner app, google currents, and chrome for android.

The media scanner app will take up 300mb because I have about 25 gigs of music on my sd card.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] iandmacdonald:
Media Scanner? PowerAmp has a very nice folder scanner.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] IM0001:
This is exactly something I wish I could do for my phone. Allocate the full 16G of onboard storage to App Storage and use my SD card as an actual SD Storage. Is this because you partitioned the SD card the way you did (Fat32/ext4)? After a fresh flash of a rom, wouldn't everything work normally with the SD card being the only SDCard0 instead of having 0 and 1?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] capriquarian:
I used a bad guide which caused my problem. Never use a windows machine to partition ext, or any partition not native to windows.

I booted up a Linux that had mini tool baked in. Once I fixed the provisioning issue with my sdcard it stopped disappearing. Then I gave up. The partition still isn't recognized by the system. My total system storage Mercer changed.

What I think you are describing is switching storage links.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] reiluke:
Hi all,

I bought an XDA 1 off ebay, its locked so i upgraded to xda dev rom. I tested it and it can CALL and SEND sms, but after a weeks use i only receive sms after calling someone.

sometimes also im out of reach even though the phone signal is full bar.

is this software or hardware related?

thank you, i welcome any comments.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] LumpiStefan:
I think it is software related. What ROM and RSU Version are you using?

On the beginning i often had the problem having fullnetwork shown on my device, but calling me ends on my voice box.

Updating the Radio Version fixed those problems. But it´s about 4 years ago....

Stefan
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] reiluke:
i upgraded my radio and its getting all sms now

MODEL: PW10A1

ROM: 3.17.03 (XDA DEV SPECIAL EDITION)

RADIO: 3.17 UPGRADED TO 4.21(02 OFFICIAL ROM)

great! thanks sir
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] SJonesGSO:
Hey guys,

I just bought a Galaxy Note 2 second hand, and it is having some problems. Right now I'm not sure if it's something I'm doing wrong, something Verizon is doing wrong, or something wrong with the device.

I am 100% stock, with no modifications. I can receive texts, but cannot send them (I get a message saying it will wait for the network to become available to send). I also cannot make calls (I get a similar message).

Here's the kicker though: I have signal. I have several bars of 4G, and am sending / receiving data through the browser, but the SMS / Voice call features of the phone do nothing.

Anyone have any advice? I have tried the following:

Wipe Data / Factory Reset

Reboot

Wipe Dalvik

Shut down, remove SIM card, put SIM card back, reboot

Nothing seems to do anything helpful!

UPDATE: Just browsing around the settings, I found the following in my network settings:

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that missing some things?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] imnuts:
Did you just activate your service, or start new 4G service? It can take anywhere from a few hours to a full day for all phone functions to work. When I got a new SIM before, data worked almost immediately, but some of the SMS/call related things took a couple hours before they worked properly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] SJonesGSO:
No, I had a Galaxy S3 and simply shut that phone down, took out the SIM, and transferred it to the new phone. Nothing else changed.

It might be a ROM problem, open Superuser and disable the CM-Root-Setting thingy

and Reboot

It worked for me too. BUT BE WARNED, CHOOSE THE RIGHT FILE OR YOU'RE PHONE WILL BRICK.

For example, if you're phone is At&t i747 then choose that file, but if you're phone is I747M Canadian (My model) then choose that file.

[Asus Transformer TF701] Aclam:
Hey all. I was wondering if the TF701 has the ability to change launcher to the one seen on the TF300 (notifications and time bottom right hand side)? I have seen images of the former on Asus' site with both launchers, but I cannot figure out how to get it to use the TF300 layout (which I prefer). Any help would be appreciated :)

PS: I have tried to attach some screenshots from the Asus website showing what I mean. This may be explainable but I am in no way a techie so bear with me :)
[Asus Transformer TF701] Snah001:
You mean the tablet interface with the pull up window at the bottom right.

Asus decided to use the phablet interface and I also don't like it.

On the TF700 on JB you can choose between the 2, but on the TF701 not.

Really would like that ASUS give us the choice on a next update too.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Aclam:
I agree, the centered buttons are awkward to get to when the tablet is on the dock and the notifications bar is just plain ugly.

What I don't get is why ASUS shows the tablet using both launchers when it can only use the one.

Anyway, thank you for helping me! :)
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
Unfortunately on jb4.3 Asus removed the old 4.1 launcher GUI. I'd say it's gone for good. The framework needs to be modeled to bring it back.

But really it's Google's fault as they only want one unified interface for phones, tablets and phablets.......
[Asus Transformer TF701] Aaroneious:
I honest to goodness cannot stand the new notification pull down. It's inconvenient and horribly ugly. I much prefer the interface on the 700. I keep hoping ASUS will wake up and realize how ugly and horrible it is and fix it. And I'm not sure the performance improvement of the 701 makes up for it, either. It makes me sad.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Yezariael:
I love it! :good:

If you want, you can change it in settings back to stock android pulldown (on top left)...
[Asus Transformer TF701] Ikkerens:
Well, notifications are top-left, settings are top-right.

I personally like the asus-way of doing it (pull-down-middle) which has all of this unified more.

Nothing can beat the way it was done on the 700 though, have to agree on that.

Would also be interested in a way of bringing this back.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Aclam:
About a month ago I sent an inquiry to ASUS regarding this, they got back to me within 2 days telling me to email customer services. I did that, but have heard nothing since. I still use 4.2 on my tablet as I haven't upgraded it - is there any hope for me?

Thank you for your input :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] anubius:
Hi everyone,

I know I should have read all the forums to get all the answers. I usually spend lots of time reading but I need to make a decision if to sell my S3 this week so I was hoping I get some help from you. I need a quick survey from the people that upgrated from S3 to S4. If you have a second of your time please review the arguments for buying S4 over S3. Just simply answer yes or no or more details if you wish. Thank you.

1. Do you feel in general that S4 lasts longer on battery compared to S3?

2. Is there a kernel that supports dual boot?

3. Do sound mods like Megabass exist to improve the sound quality when playing music?

4. Does MHL adapter used for S3 work with with S4?

5. Do pictures you take look better compared to those you took with S3?

6. Is there a pure Android ROM that supports all the features in S4 (mhl video output, IR remote control etc.)?

7. Have you ever regraded that the true FM radio is gone?

8. Is there a kernel with similar to Stweaks app that allows cpu and gpu speed and voltage controls?

9. Can you after rooting and installing custom recovery revert back to factory using Triangle Away to send it to repair?

Thank you.

[Galaxy S 4 General] @xDeepS:
Adam Kernel got S Tweaks. i9505 has pure android. i9500.. nope. Id suggest you get i9505.
[Galaxy S 4 General] OnlinePredator:
1. Yes it lasts longer

2. There is but not in true dual boot style, only aosp and tw.

3. Yes sound mods exist like beats etc

4. Yes

5. Much better pictures

6. Yes it's from the GPE of the i9505G,although at this stage only works on i9505 not i9500.

7. Nope

8. Of course

9. You can unless the phone has knox bootloader. Read up about knox, some say warranty will be void if it's tripped. I personally don't care about it.
[Galaxy S 4 General] anubius:
Here is what I would answer to myself after making the upgrade:

1. I am not sure that it lasts much longer. I think it is the same as I had on S3. With the right settings and Rom S3 can challenge it.

2. There is no true dual boot that is for sure at least in the format you got used to in S3. Testing different ROMs on S4 I basically do Rom backups in CWM and restore back.

3. From all the sound mods I had to use Viper it is not bad however unfortunately I was not able to recreate the sound I had with ScoobyDoo sound engine in S3.

4. No problem here. It works.

5. This is where it is really true. Pictures are really better.

6. Yes ROMs do exit. Only for 9505 of course. However this is probably personal choice. I noticed that I prefer either hybrids with AOSP or very well cleaned stock ones.

7. Yes you don't really need FM radio.

8. There is one. However most of them do not have Stweaks support. I ended up with one that has a good control of voltage and speeds. You can live with it.

9. That answer is the saddest part of S4. On S3 you can go back to stock without the problem and Samsung will not even notice. S4 with security against rooting is a true nightmare. Of course unless as it was mentioned you are lucky to find old bootloader device without KNOX which from my experience the odds of that are almost zero. All new S4 in stores have KNOX. You can't install CWM without triggering KNOX security. Once triggered there is no way to revert it back. Some say that the warranty still work but this is the gamble game you have to play and live. You can root the device without triggering KNOX and live with stock Rom, but this is not why I bought this phone. So in my opinion you will be disappointed after coming from S3 to S4 in this point. At least I am.

11. There some things that you also need to know that we're not asked. The screen is S4 is worse that S3. It sounds rediculous however it is true. There is discoloration at the bottom of the screen making it more light then on the top. Turns out this is the defect of full HD AMOLED screens. If you teach yourself not to look at it too much you can live with it however on some dark backgrounds it is really obvious.

12. I also have the feeling that the ROM development is lesser then S3. In S3 you can find much more variety and choices of ROMs which is not the case for S4.

All this together make me think that this was the hard upgrade which if I would go back I would not do. You ask why don't you sell S4 and buy S3 back . I thought about it honestly, however this would result in loss of money since I sold S3 for good price. There also some positive in S4. The 2 GB of Ram and new CPU do make everything much smoother and faster there is no doubt it. Once you got used to it it will be hard to use S3 again. I like that it is bit bigger which I like. I take a lot of photos and camera is super good and better than S3 which i also want to have . So there is always compromise. However, if you live peaceful and happy life with S3 i would not recommend to upgrade.
[Galaxy S 4 General] dragon135:
I disagree about the screen. My s4 screen is normal. And it is better than my S3. Although actually I like s3 screen it looks more contrasty but actually s4 screen color is better based on color measurement.

[Galaxy S 4 General] fuser1337:
What the hell is that Screen discoloration you talking about? [MENTION=1061768]anubius[/MENTION]

Screen is completely amazing.
[Galaxy S 4 General] anubius:
Try it yourself. Open some dark grey background or picture and put the brightness to the minimum and look at it. There is like a light coming from the bottom of the screen and the top look darker. I agree the screen is sharper then S3 because of higher resolution but this strange light on the bottom makes dark colors to look grey.
[Galaxy S 4 General] fuser1337:
Dude, I've seen, Nothing like what you said.

Maybe you need a screen replacement.

Maybe you got lucky. I will make a picture when I have a chance to show it.
[Galaxy S 4 General] ballsofsteel:
You can see objects smear with a dark purple trail for about half a second whenever you scroll things in minimum brightness (even more noticeable if you use screen filter app). This did not occur in the S3. I also felt that the battery lasted somewhat less on the S4 (probs like 15 minutes less screen on) , but I always have a spare anyway.

Other than those two factors there is no comparison, S4 is significantly better than the S3 (just like S2 vs S1), unlike the S2 S3 jump which was pretty lame to be honest.
[Galaxy S 4 General] DJ SNap:
1. Depends on - on AOSP battery lasts longer. On TW - it's lasts the same time.

2. Yes

3. Yes

4. Yes

5. A little bit yes

6. I believe yes - e.g. SlimKat (IR is working for sure)

7. No

8. Yes (KTKernel?)

9. Depends on - if I have old Bootloader without Knox I can simply revert back to factory settings. If I have new BL with Knox my Warranty will be Void (0x1) if I install some mods (Custom ROM, Kernel, Root, Recovery etc).
[Galaxy S 4 General] upichie:
This is caused by the AMOLED screen turning the pixels off when showing black. The delay in turning them back on produces a smudging or tearing effect.

This only happens on custom ROMs.

And if you're talking about some other purple smearing... never seen or heard of that before. I certainly don't have that on my S4.
[Galaxy S 4 General] ballsofsteel:
Purple smearing only happens in dim light and low brightness. This never happened on the S3 even with the screen filter application.
[Galaxy S 4 General] upichie:
I use Screen Dimmer @ 50-70% daily and have never witnessed any purple showing up anywhere on my screen. Maybe it's only your device?
