Did the exact same thing. BF $49 and cyber monday free. I took my receipt to best buy and they credited back my card. It was simple and fast.
[G2 General] androidmaniac123:
Ordered mine for $0. Added as a new line. I already have a S3 on unlimited. Planning to break the contract immediately after activation and pay $350 ETF. Pay 1 day prorated monthly charge. Profit :laugh::good:. Sell my S3 for $180-$200 on ebay. U cant get such a good phone for $350 and still retain unlimited. :D

Have chat transcripts with VZW reps..who said doing such a thing will only result in a $350 ETF!!:D
[G2 General] garywojdan81:
You can get the deal if you use the loophole. I just did it twice, once for my line and just this week for my wife's line.

We both had upgrades due on our unlimited lines. We have 5 lines total on a national family plan, 2 are feature phones & 3 are smartphones. I transferred our upgrades to the feature phone lines, got the g2's at the promo price, and activated the new phones on the former feature phone lines. Immediately reactivated the feature phones on their respective lines by dialing *228 which deactivated the new phones and automatically cancelled the mandatory data plans required by the upgraded devices. Now that both new phones are free from their original lines, I popped in our SIM cards which reactivated the new phones on our unlimited lines.

So, new phones for promo pricing and unlimited data retained=win/win.

Hi.

I'm new on this forum and I need help about my phone..

I've been using it for 5 weeks but suddenly touchscreen stopped responding.

I've tryed reseting it, factory reset, but nothing worked.

Do you know how can I fix this? I'm pretty sure that my touch works fine because sometimes when I shake the device it works again but after few hours it stops to respond again!
[Optimus 7 General] ZOMO:
Try this - reinstall battery, turn telephone on and leave it on opening screen for 2-4 minutes. I have problem with not responding touchscreen and I realised that after that time of continuous screen working it starts to work again. But only till I turn it off - then it is not responding again.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksarius:
Hello members of xda.

My phone suddenly died and now when I turn it on, it stays on the SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 2 GT-N7100 screen.

I can acess the download page, but cant access recovery.

I know that If i can at least go to recovery, i can try to full wipe, or even flash another rom, but I cant flash CWM.

In ODIN, when I hit START to flash CWM it stays here "<ID:0/003> SetupConnection.." and then after 5 minutes it says FAILED.

I tried with many other recoveries, and also many other ODIN versions.

In version 1.84 instead of showing setupconnection, it immediately says NO PIT PARTITION.

Could someone please help me unbrick my phone?

Any other solution i could try?

Thanks.

Hello,

I hope, I am allowed to post that toppic here.

I am writing an android app, where the application should start before anything is happening. the best case is, that it starts instead of the lockscreen.

I found several answers, all like:

KeyguardManager keyguardM = (KeyguardManager)getSystemService(Activity.KEYGUARD_SERVICE);
KeyguardLock lock = keyguardM.newKeyguardLock(KEYGUARD_SERVICE);
lock.disableKeyguard();

but it does not work (I also don't know where to put it...)

The app starts after boot and after the lockscreen is disabled.

I also found that thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2273021&highlight=lockscreen but I don't want to replace the whole system :)

Hope, you can held me with this problem.

Thank you :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shou77:
Hi,

im on Cataclysm ROM 4.4, Nexus 5.

im using NiLS for Notifications on my (Standard) Lockscreen.

This works well but i have to enable that widgets are expanded to start the app instantly by clicking on the notification (whatsapp, facebook whatever), if the widget isnt expanded, i have to click on the notification and then unlock.

so with expanded widgets, everytime i turn on the screen this white widget area "animation" is popping up. this is very annoying and looks like the display is flackering.

is there any way to turn this animation off, make it transparent or a way to start the app directly while widget is not expanded.

I know there is locker pro etc which shows notifications also on lockscreen, but im not a fan of custom lockers due they all just dont work as stable or smooth as the stock-locker.

Hi -

I upgraded my firmware to 4.06.1540.2. All works great.

However, I need to send my phone into AT&T for repair due to a volume button that isn't responding. The problem is I should downgrade the firmware to the shipping AT&T firmware/radio version, but do not recall which one that is.

Can someone provide the name and a possible link to where I can find that?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MosesTheTool:
Hi,

I've searched around and did not find the answer, this is truly frustrating,

I have this Galaxy S1 phone that had Froyo 2.2 stock rom from Orange Israel.

I downloaded a random CF-ROOT, and Odin, and without checking the Baseband, I used it on the phone.

It began with a Boot Loop, so i tried a different CF-ROOT, and now it's stuck on Boot Image.

I cannot check the baseband because it doesn't boot, can't check which stock firmware I need.

what can i do?

Thanks to all helpers!!

- edit: I meant Galaxy S1 !!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soryuu:
If you can get into download mode, you won't have any problems. The only thing is that you have an incompatible kernel with your firmware - just flash any stock firmware (2.2 or 2.3) to fix it.

Hello,

Just thought I would post this for you T999v users out there.

It's the 4.3 update now available on kies.

Proceed with caution like us with the T999. You'll have to deal with Knox and root issues in sure.

Not sure what the differences are between the T999 and the T999v update if any besides the corresponding files needed for that phone.

Anyways, here's the Samsung link

Nice. Come on Samsung, let's keep this rolling. My T999L still hasn't been updated to 4.3.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] nicky9door:
FYI, you can use Mobile Odin to flash only the modem and then use one of the T-mobile roms. This way you can bypass Knox.

Just load the file in mobile odin. Then tap all the partitions except for the modem and select clear to ensure they don't get flashed
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] avi30na:
is 4.3 modem different from 4.2.2?

i dont understand why there was no need of flashing modem when moving from a 4.2.2 custom rom to a 4.3 one?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] nicky9door:
4.3 touchwiz requires an updated modem for data to work.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] avi30na:
if i update the modem will i be able to flash and use 4.2.2 or 4.1.2 roms again later? (since theres a discussion that your cant but im not sure its related to modem of firmware or both)

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
T999V 4.3 Rom!

For any who are interested, here is a deodexed, Knox Free 4.3 Rom built from Wind's MK5 firmware! I am fairly certain that all the Canadian carriers roms will be very closely related, and anyone can flash this if they so choose. It should work on the T999 and T999L as well, provided you have the correct modem for your model. Anyway, I hope some of you find it useful!

Warning: I currently do not have a phone and so I cannot test this. I am confident it will work as expected, but I make no guarantees. Flash at your own risk!

If you do try this Rom out, please let me know if WiFi is working or not. If not, flashing the AT&T kernel should fix this. Also, let me know if you have updated to 4.3 by flashing the OTA or official firmware.

Enjoy!

[Other Tools & General Discussion] Ryccardo:
Well, anything too good to be true.

Weak definition I know, but after all it wouldn't be "suspicious" if the developer was open about it, right?

And many permissions aren't inherently bad, their combinations are. Think of this case:

Almost everyone knows that "all network" + "phone status and identity" mean ads with tracking.

Everyone can guess a Facebook photo syncer will need network and contacts.

But I've seen many scared by legitimate camera apps that have to request "camera access at all times" (never mind it's on the table or in pockets 80% of the time...) and beyond obvious battery drain it's hard to tell if/what it's being done behind your back.

Never mind that everyone has different ideas of privacy, from "shouldn't have bought a cell phone" to "haha go ahead and try to take a photo of me naked so that you can get sued for underage pornography"...

Essentially the XDA unlock tool unlocks my XDA with no problem, however, my 3 network SIM will not be recognised (worked with Vodafone ok). The phone panel comes up and asks for a pin number and "insert SIM" I have put the developers ROM on with the unlock built in and that doesn't work for 3 either!

Any suggestions on getting it to work?

Also, 3 sims are ONLY 3g and will not work in a 2g phone (which your xda has to be, as you used the unloick tool on it, and the only xda with 3g is the universal, which this tool does not work on).

Doesn't work neither wi-fi and bluetooth tethering.

essentially the problem is on the dhcp server,

I'm able to see wi-fi connection from different devices to my phone, i can see on the tethering table the mac address of my pc and the ip address reserved to it, but the pc doesn't acquire the address and after a lttle it assigns itself an ip from PIPA netwoek (169.254.0.0/16 ) and so is not able to use the phone to go to internet.

I tried different devices (many laptop with different OS, tablet and others phones), but no luck, dhcp server is not working properly.

Strange

I hate touchwiz. I have had this phone 3 days and still tweaking to make it feel stock like my Nexus devices. I LOVE stock android. I have a MF3 GS4 so I cant ROM it and it annoys me a device that is as powerful as the N5 is still on 4.2 (ATT).

I honestly held both phones in the store and me and my GF both said the GS4 felt like flimsy paper next to the Nexus 5. The 5 just feels sturdier and like it has some sort of heft. Im worried having the GS4 in my pocket because bending my leg the wrong way puts pressure on it. Most Nexus devices feel strudy though. My Nexus7 is great and my Nexus S was a TANK!. My brother has gone through 3 GS4 screen and almost anyone else I know who has one has had their screen crack. I swear the image of the dandilion they use just LOOKS like a cracked screen so maybe its an omen.

My S4 has decent battery now but I literally had to turn EVERYTHING off on it.

The bloatware on the S4 is CRAZY! Why do I need like 3 different movie and music players just because Samsung and ATT want to try and earn money from me using their store. Rooted the phone and froze all those apps out with Titanium.

Holding them side by side I liked the N5 screen better. Both being 5" I actually thought the N5 was smaller in hand until the rep corrected me. I personally prefer a smaller phone. Why have a phone 2/3 the size of my tablet? In the way of image, they seem the same to me.

I personally prefer a smaller phone.

I got the G4 because it was free and it would make a good backup device to have. My GF told me already she was getting me my N5 on Xmas.... Im just a nexus guy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Theoriginalgiga:
Thanks for your impressions between the two phones. Really helps my decision on considering getting rid of my S4 and switching to the N5.
