Guys... look at this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2546466&highlight=sim+network+unlock

From what the whole thread states the tmobile version is sim unlocked out of the box even through moto maker. In fact they are stating that there is little difference between the tmobile and dev edition.

So from the whole thread there I will pruchase tmobile. Verizon is unlocked but does not have the correct radios for my countries 3g network. Att does but I do not want to have to go through the hastle of unlocking it... even if its simple to buy a code.

---------- Post added at 04:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:11 PM ----------

Also go to the companies and ask what bands they work with expecially the 3g and 4g. I know first hand that Verizon does not support most of the bands in central america... Ive had verizon phones here and they only get 2g sometimes. And good luck with going to the companies... most people there have no idea... and they will stare at you with a blank look on their face when you ask about bands and will probably try to sell you a phone. So be patient.

Also... keep us updated!!

I have an issue and since I almost never play games I didn't make anythimg of it until today :-)

I wanted to play a game (gamebox) and again my screen is not centered.

By that I mean that the game itself is not really in the center of the screen. I can see the edge of my desktop on the left side and the top of the game.

This is not the first time I see that.

Any idee?

Thnx

Hi guys, For some reason I lost my 4.1 back up. I'm on 4.3 and custom recovery. Can I just flash the stock 4.1.2 back to go back to 4.1.2 or am I stuck with 4.3? Thanks :crying:

Hi developers, i hope you can help me in this problem.Some days ago I have rooted my galaxy grand and then also unroot it yesterday.but after inserting my large 16 gb sd card the rooting process dose not work any more. now I cannot also instal the SU user recovery.coz my phone dose not find the directory. then the problem of internal storage come. I have 4 gb of internal storage where I have got 3.6 gb( approx) but when i go to check the storage it shows 2.68 gb used and 1.96 gb free.And when i go into detail used space it only shows 1.65 gb and that is impossible. and the free amount remains fixed but the used amount is increasing with time.

The 'miscellaneous files' section in storage will also be missing.( I can see it from your screen shots )

I often have the same problem.... go to settings -- app manager --find your stock gallery app in 'all apps' tab and clear its data ( it usually shows huge data being used ). This will solve your problems

I think it is a problem with the stock gallery app of grand..

Now I am in gennxt rom which is super smooth and completely bug free for me....

Hope it helps..

[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] soumikb558:
Yes i have performed the task ,you mentioned.But after that the same problem persist. but one thing happened that when i go into storage option the "miscellaneous files" option just come for a second and then vanished. by some how i managed to take a screen shot of that. please take a look at this.
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] asifcheer:
Yes... I too had that experience when I was on stock rom...

The ' miscellaneous files' option comes and then vanishes .... I just can't view the miscellaneous files...

Later I found that you should select the 'miscellaneous files' option quickly before it vanishes , so as to view the files.....

Any way its still a bug on stock 4.2.2

Now I'm on Gennxt Rom ( same as stock rom without Samsung's bloatware apps )

Hope it helps you..

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shuvabrata:
Hi All,

My S2 just died two days back while getting charged. The phone just won't turn on. This happened once previously and i got my motherboard replaced from the Samsung Authorised Service Centre at the cost of INR 9,000 [USD 150] (almost at 1/3rd the purchasing price of the phone).

This time i went to a third party repair vendor in Mumbai, India called phonecare.in

They are telling me that the power IC on the motherboard has fried and it needs to be replaced quoting a price of INR 2,000 [USD 30]. They also advised me that overcharging the phone like keeping it on charge while sleeping makes the IC burn out. Is that true? Please let me know.

Also, any Indian users here, please let me know your feedback on phonecare.in as well.

regards,

Nandi

Replied to your PM
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaulikS:
Well, I too faced the same problem.

Do you have an update to share?

I bought my S2 in June, 2011.

Day before yesterday it was connected to my PC via USB and suddenly it just stuck on boot screen.

No Recovery mode but, yes I could access Download mode. (I still can access Download mode)

I tried flashing the stock firmware but it would not pass NAND WRITE START..tried flashing siyah kernel...would not pass NAND WRITE START.

Showed it at a local service centre..They say I need a motherboard replacement (standard answer)...Cost: Rs. 8,852/-

My phone was pretty good till date & if I don't get it serviced it would just be an "EXPENSIVE PAPERWEIGHT".

I just want to ask if a JTAG can solve the problem? Or like you suggested in your post.. by changing the power IC ?

If not, is it viable to spend so much on a 2.7 year old phone?

Any suggestions?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akhil17kr:
i told you to ask for local repair shops.. what they said ???

have you asked for POWER IC replacement or replacing motherboard ??

ask prices from them ?

does your phone camera right side's heats up where POWER IC is located ?? mine gets heat up on charging ..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shamsh_007:
mine have same problem heat up on charging no recovery no download mode.may be JTAG can solve our problem
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
JTAG very very unlikely to work, so don't pay somebody upfront to try a JTAG - only try a JTAG if they're prepared to do so on the basis of 'you only pay them if a JTAG is possible/successful' or you're just throwing money away you could be putting towards actually having the phone fixed.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akhil17kr:
the local repair shop owner said it'll take 3-4 days to replace the Motherboard so i told him to call me when he'll get the motherboard as he doesn't have currently in his shop..

SO he'll call me within 3-4 days when he'll receive motherboard and I'll get my motherboard replace from him... he has already told me it'll be genuine and I've pics of my old Motherboard for future reference in case he'll do some other stuff on my Old Motherboard to wok it again..

BTW does Imie changes when motherboard gets replaced ???

and can i check on my motherboard at home whether which part of it if gets Shot-circuited or not ???
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joe_Nalin:
Did any of you try changing the power IC? I was so dumb that I missed to back up some data..

I also face the same issues, phone dead; and power IC (area near the camera) heating up while charging the phone..

I just want to get my data out..:crying: Please help!!

To add there is no short circuit and the service center has advised to change the motherboard.. My friends have the same issue, we got the phone together in June 2011.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akhil17kr:
Hey bro so your S2 problem gets solved or not ?

What did you do finally ?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joe_Nalin:
Phone is safe (dead) with me, I bought a OPO the same week. Being without a phone was impossible.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrNano:
No use

I also had the same problem.i went to the samsung service center in chennai, they said it needs a mother board replacement which will costs me 9000RS so i took back my phone. Now i dont know what to do with it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
You have 2 options......

1) pay for the repair.

2) bin the phone and buy something else.

Replacing individual components on these boards is near impossible......nobody can give you a 100% guarantee of success, unless they have access to Samsung's automated computer controlled production line.....hand soldering simply is not possible.

This is why the only realistic option to repair the device is to replace the entire board....If anybody tells you any different, they're trying to con you.....

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] s2kdriver80:
I have ordered one of these Note 10.1 2014 tablets and have a few noobish questions. :)

1) From the shipping tracking info, it's coming out of Hong Kong, so I assume most likely it will have the Hong Kong stock firmware. Since I might be interchanging 2 or 3 European languages when I'm using the tablet, I'll probably flash one of the latest UK stock firmwares from sammobile. Would flashing a stock firmware from another region trip the Knox efuse/counter?

2) At this point, I've read somewhere on the forums that I should do a factory reset to affect the changes in the language set. Is this down in download (volume down) or recovery (volume up) mode? And doing this won't affect the Knox counter either, right?

3) I also plan on rooting the tablet using the URDLV method.

4) And lastly, I've heard of freezing Knox apps using Titanium Backup (which I have). What happens if I don't freeze them? And if I should freeze them, which apps should be frozen?

Thanks in advance for your feedback.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] s2kdriver80:
Anyone have any clue regarding any of the above points? Thanks!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] benni_1994:
1) Flashing a samsung signed firmware via Odin should not increase the knox counter. I have a german device of the p600 and flashed the us firmware on it. My knox counter was 0.

2) It is recommended to do a factory reset after updating your firmware so you can enjoy a clean system. Dont know what you mean with language setting :P but it is not necessary to do a factory reset after changing the language. ;)

3) Go ahead! :D i really think that rooting the note 10.1 shows the real power of the device :)

4) Knox apps should be freezed because they will give you security notifications every time a apps gets superuser permissions.

Just do a search in titanium backup with the keyword "knox" and freeze all those apps which will come up :)

Have fun with your device ;)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] s2kdriver80:
Benni2903, thanks for your feedback. Regarding #2, yes flashing a firmware from a different region changed the language list right away. I thought I needed to do a reset as per other posts in the forums. I did a reset anyway for good measure. Unfortunately, following the URDLV method triggered my Knox flag. After that, froze the 7 of the Knox apps in TB. Should be 6, but for some reason, I have 2 entries for "KNOX 1.0" so I just froze both of them. Here's my full account of my rooting endeavor...

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] benni_1994:
Nice reaction about tripping knox :D

Honestly I dont really care about Knox. If i screw up my device there is no reason to blame Samsung :P if something happens to my device in fact of a failure from samsung then they will replace it :D but most problems can be solved with odin and the xda forum :)

Is it not "standard" practice to charge phone over night when you otherwise wont be using it. But mine is always looking for gps too when im in splanner
[Galaxy Note 3 General] danieljamie:
Perhaps, but it is not convenient to charge over night for me. Use it as alarm and a lack of plug sockets nearby.

I did have an event that set off a reminder in s-planner so that's probably what got stuck.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] vgergo:
Remove S-Planner

For me it is standard to remove most Samsung garbage. As a rule of thumb you will be better off with an alternative if there is one. There are lot's of calendar apps available. I can recommend Business Calendar Pro, far superior, if for nothing else, it can sync your tasks with gmail.

Replacing S-Voice with Google Voice Search is not this easy though. S-Voice is the app which actually reduces the value of the Note 3.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] HalptheNoob:
Hi,

I'm new here and I'd like to install a new ROM on my Gio but I want to make sure I know what I'm doing before trying something and bricking my phone. :angel:

ClockWorkMod

I installed CWM v5.2.0.6 (followed the instructions here). Is this ok, or do I need to install v5.0.2.7? And if I do need a newer version, is there a way to get an update or do I have to follow the same steps as before?

I tried creating a backup with the CWM version I have, but I get this error: "Can't mount /system".

CWM does create a folder in sdcard/ clockworkmod/ backup/ date, but it only contains the following files:

recovery.img and boot.img.

However, this post says I should actually have more files in the backup folder:

.android_secure.vfat.tar ,boot.img , cache.ext4.tar , data.ext4.tar , nandroid.md5 , recovery.img, system.ext4.tar.

Is this because of my CWM version? Or maybe because I still have the operating system that came with my device (+updates)?

What I really want to know is: can I rely on this backup, will it work?

ROMs

I want to install CM10.1.5 from here, but I have many questions and I don't really know where to look for answers. (Sorry, I really am a complete noob.)

What's the difference between androidarmv6 jenkins build and mardon build? And what's the difference between the 3 versions? Can I just install the Version with CM-Superuser and not worry about it?

Should the updates be installed via CWM - apply update from SDcard? What about the additions - CWM --> install zip from SDcard?

How can I install extras if they are "not CWM flashable"?

What happens to my apps when I install a new ROM? Do I have to install them all again? Is all data lost? Or will they all be restored from my google account and the SD card or something like that?

Finally, how can I use the ext2 partition in my SDcard to install apps? Is this function included in the ROM? Or do I need to install something else? a2sd darktremor? If yes, how (I find the instructions here confusing and overwhelming, and the post is old, so probably outdated)? Or should I use the "Link2SD" addition to the ROM?

I'm sorry for asking so much, but I'm feeling kind of lost. :o

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] HalptheNoob:
Anyone?

I've continued trying to figure things out when I have time. I'll post what I find in this thread, in case someone else comes here looking for answers to similar doubts/problems.

In trying to understand what's going on with

ClockWorkMod Recovery

, I found this very useful link:

wwwDOTtechbiiDOTcom / cwm-recovery-cant-mount-system-error-solution-how-to/

(sorry for the DOTs and spaces, can't post outside links yet)

If I understood correctly, the best (only?) way to return to stock ROM is to install Odin or similar firmware flashing tool and to get the stock firmware from sites like sammobile.com and sampro.pl. However, it also says that not all firmwares might be available and I haven't looked more into it all of this yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] HerroYou:

Yes, I used the instructions there to root my phone and install CWM (v5.0.2.6), but that thread is 2 years old, so I'm afraid it won't be up to date in relation to certain things. For example, I did create an ext2 partition on my SD card using those instructions, but I found an easier way to move apps from my phone to the SDcard (using the link2SD app, available on Google Play). The information about ROMs is also not up to date.

Does anybody know how to set under which tab in settings a CPL will appear?

I ask, as I've managed to export the CPL T-Mobile put on the MDA COmpact II to customise the soft keys, and I want it to appear on the same screen as Buttons, but instead it is under System.

BTW, the CPL does work - it gives an interface similar to Buttons for changing what the soft keys do, as opposed to editing the registry. If you want, I can post it here.

Thanks in advance, guys.

Just a question: when you change one of the Soft Keys apps to be run, do you have the <Ok/Close> , <ContextMenu> (all <BlaBla>) options? I mean the options that are not applications?

The reason I'm asking is that I recently hard reseted my Wizard and I stopped the final T-Mobile customization process. But it seems that the Softkeys are no longer present in my control panel, and after adding a SoftKeys.cpl file from a forum, I can only set applications not the aforementioned behaviours (like <OK/Close>).

PS: post the file plz, I'll just give it a try :)

I think you want to edit (or create) the 'group' dword value under HKLM\ControlPanel\[yourcplkeyhere]\

Haven't looked at all the options, but you can select New SMS and New MMS, although these rely on 2 files called TNSMS.exe and TNMMS.exe, which I don't see to have to hand. If anyone can post them, that'd be great.
