Perhaps you could post on one of the T-Mobile threads here and explain what "doesn't work" means, as they may be able to help you.

Non-Verizon SIMs work for me, but I'm not using a SIM from some other US carrier.

That's the guide to use your phone on T-Mobile. It's on the first page of the general section lol.

By the way, the forums are seperated by device and carrier because that's how the software works, it's different per device and the carrier that device uses. This is a site for developers.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
Sorry if you thinking this is "trolling by a veteran user".

First, you need to understand: the i545 is not SIM locked. Any SIM will work.

However, there's some question as to whether or not that SIM will allow other US carriers to work. Mine works with a SIM that gives me AT&T data. (It's from a European carrier.)

Here's how you can answer your question. First, look at the top of this window.

There's a box on the top reading "Search this forum".

I entered "tmobile" there, then got the following threads:

Sorry. Hit send too early..

Basic steps are to get a sim.

Then go and see if it picked ip the APN settings. If not you should be able to create a new APN and put in the values manually. Search on xda for the values

Finally. Theres a thread in xda that explains how to download a phone info app. Which will allow you to set the phone radio to LTE/GSM.

last thing you want to check is that you can do wifi, sms, mms, voice mail, etc.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
A lot of people do make things for themselves, I run my own crappy builds all the time as I'm learning. Of course the more experienced developers release stable work for the public. Regardless, the purpose of the site isn't to release software for the "everyday android user".

It's about the journey not the end result.

I really can't explain the purpose of this site any better than this post by Kyphur:

"I think what a lot of people forget is that this is not a "make my phone neat & kewl" place.

As implied by the name this is technically a Developers forum/community.

Now what does that mean? Well first off it means that there is an expectation that if you are here then you want to customize your device but rather than just installing something that someone packaged you want to understand how it works and maybe even enhance it yourself.

When I first came here with a Blue Angel it was a different environment. PDA Phones were not embraced by the general public because of the expense and complexity (I paid over $400 for my BA). A $400 phone 4 years ago was expensive, today the Tilt is $300 after rebates but with inflation & the rise in the cost of other devices and the fact that there are other sources out there giving them away for $150 our neat bit of kit has become popular with mainstream users.

Now we have a flood of new users who are asking not "How can I do this myself" but more like "Give me the quick fix" without caring to understand the process. See if you read the threads then you get to experience the learning process, you see how the issues were investigated and confirmed. Then you get to watch the different attempts at resolution and learn why some failed while others worked. That is called Development.

The NooB backlash is coming from users who have walked in the development shoes and is directed mainly at those who don't care for the journey but just want the end result or destination.

As a Development Forum we are just as much (if not more) about the journey. I've read so many comments like "I don't have time to read all of the threads" or "I don't care how it works, just that it does". These very statements are contrary to the heart & soul of XDA-Devs and that is why the backlash is so strong.

Let me be very clear on this: IF YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT UNDERSTANDING THE JOURNEY THEN YOU PROBABLY SHOULDN'T BE HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE.

XDA-Devs is about developers & hackers helping each other and working together to get the most out of our devices by understanding them better than most.

XDA-Devs is not about helping everyone who wants a "Kewl bit of kit" make their phone better than the guy next to him.

Now do we go kicking users off who never contribute anything, NO. We tolerate it to an extent. Where the toleration ends is when these users start diluting the usefulness of the forum by repeating the same questions over and over again.

You ask us to understand your position. Well if you want to benefit from our experience and time then I think it is only fair that you understand our position."
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] asubiyyal:
I ddnt mean to be like rude or anything guys. So sorry for acting like that.

Now honestly i Google about android rooting/self installin the new version and XDA comes up all the time, so I've known about website long time ago and I see that there are like 100s of posts a minute mostly by total newbs. I'm newbie to android and XDA but like actually do wanna learn this stuff. Thats why I even asked if there are threads/links to where I can brush up beginner stuff so I then if I stll have any issues I can ask the question in a technical manner or even understand different threads that have already answered the question(s) that I have.

As for developer part you guys are programmers and hackers and its your hobby and its pretty cool you do this stuff on daily basis, but for me that is too far ahead.

Now I have another device unlocked NExus S i got from tmobile back in 2011, I wanna update it to latest OS KitKat. I will now look up XDA all over myself, let you know how it goes.:laugh: Hopefully it will work out.

Thanks again.

EDIT: P.S. the first day i posted search wasnt working. Or maybe I ddnt search the right sections. I'll do XDA search through Google now :p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
I didn't think you were being a rude, but I just thought I would share with you post that explains the purpose of XDA very well. It might seem harsh because it's out of context & was originally directed at some a$$hole.

We were all newbs here, I'm no programmer I just like learning code because I like learning how all of this stuff works. I'm glad you want to start learning to. All I did in the beginning was google search "rooting" and a bunch of write-ups & video's came up that taught me a lot.

Verizon SCH-I545 for international use?

Hi, someone gave me a S4 SCH- I545 (Verizon USA) to use it in Venezuela. I found out that this released only for use in USA and not internationally , I fixed the APN for use with Movistar and works perfect except I constantly get the message " SIM is not Verizon " is a rather annoying message. I know the phone works well and there no will be problems but I will have to set the APN manually every time I change the chip , plus I want my phone no error messages . I've searched everywhere how to get it and I think it is because it has the bootloader locked. I read that to give root and change the kernel the bootloader would be unlocked , but what if that does not solve my problem? Nor FIRMS unbdranded get for this model and not any that I can not set you as it has to be compatible with the number of compilation .

I leave the details of my phone :

Samsung SCH- I545 Galaxy S4

Android Version 4.2.2

Baseband I545VRUDMI1

Number of compilation JDQ39.I545VRUDMI1

Someone can help me?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
You can't remove the "Non-Verizon SIM" message without running a custom ROM.

Since you're on DMI1, you'll need to use Safestrap to do that.

However, I don't know if any of the Safestrap-compatible ROMs have been tested with non-Verizon SIMs.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] etessil:
Sorry but what's Safestrap?

Safestrap is a way of flashing custom ROMs that bypasses the locked bootloader.

It was supposed to ship from California but it actually came from Sweden (at least it was postmarked in Sweden).

It fits very nicely around the phone. Buttons and openings line up perfectly. Slipping the case into the holster is difficulty as the silicone part of the case doesn't let the case slide easily into the holster so the phone will be used without the holster.

Hy there guys and girls!

1st of all PLEASE HELP ME! Dont now more what to do...

2nd IAM Really sorry for my bad english...

ok, lets go to the problems :cry:

my s100 is everyday more and more slower! and i didnt do anything wrong, here check my rom and radio version! i now its not the most actual there is, but its what i have:

its slow receiving calls, doing everything, looks every day more slower :cry:

the only software iam using is SPRITE BACKUP, SPRITE POCKET MON and SPRITE DETECTIVE... TCPMP Core Pocket Media Player ... :shock:

but the worst, is when i use the s100 keypad (near the awnsering key, that allows to scrool up and down the menus in today screen) when i scrool down or up, like, i want to see my ACTIVE TASK without using the PEN, i push down twice, and "shadow" just like in the picture apears from nowere, look: (its the white bar over the ACTIVE TASK menu)

why does this happens???

thanks for reading my post, and i hope someone can help me! :?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] JwY:
did you reset it?

it might be slowing down because it doesn't close application

it really just minimizes it so you might want to find an application that acts as a close button

just search for it since there are many and some are free (your list of programs doesn't include a closer that's why i'm suggesting it)

a temporary solution is goto settings -> memory -> running programs (tab) and close things you aren't using

the white bar i'm not sure of, but try resetting and if that doesn't work, then change the today theme

if that doesn't work then you might want to backup and do a hardreset
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] oltp:
While checking the running programs, take a look at the first memory tab too. Is there enough memory left before & after closing the running apps? & definitely check this tab right after a soft-reset & see how much memory is available then, if it's less then, let's say, 10MB you need to free up your memory by installing stuff to SD instead of 'default location' (which means the same RAM memory as your programs will use to run in)

When it's the same after a hard-reset & not installing any software, you're device might be the problem. Try upgrading then for a last chance or returning your device.

1.

Does the white shadow just stay there in one place, over the task plugin?

When you go down once more, does the white shadow highlight the calendar plugin etc? Or is it just stuck there, even when you press dpad down again?

2.

You say that you're using "Sprite Backup, Sprite Pocket Mon And Sprite Detective...". After you hard reset, are you restoring your backup using Sprite backup? Or are you finding this white bar on active task immediately after a full hard reset?

So you are finding that when you hard reset, align screen, today screen appears, press dpad and the white bar is stuck there?

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] gamatudo:
yes when it goes down it stays over the calendar plugin, or over the owner plugin... if i click with the pointer in another positions, it does not desapear, only desapears if i click start then programs the "X" (close) or open another program and then return to today screen,

Have you tried what happens after a hard-reset without any additional software installed & without restoring your backup yet.

Dear forum members. I would like to ask why we cant have 3.4 based kernels? Htc one x with almost identical hardware has it..and many other devices using the same processor and other hardware have it too. What is the requirements for 3.4 kernel? I see a lot of developers have put amazing effort for bringing new kernels to us that has greatly improved the performance of our device but we dont have 3.4 based kernels. I would love to know if i would ever get usb otg on my device. Now that nvidia has released a new source for supporting kitkat, is there a chance that we could get 3.4 based kernel anytime soon? Thanks.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] JoinTheRealms:
Have you seen kholks kernel? its 3.4

Its a big undertaking with little benefit compared to the amount of work put in, It can be great if everything is stable and working but it normally requires a team of developers hired by LG to pull it off.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] saurav112214:
Yes I have seen Kholks kernel, it is 3.4 but apart from that (with all due respect) its not working as it should (RIL, Mobile data, otg, battery drain etc). Moreover it looks like he has abandoned the project and no other projects are 3.4 based.

I did not know that it requires a team of developers hired by LG to pull it off. I thought it was just do able by developers here because they brought us all the amazing android goodies. Sorry for being noob. Since we know that LG is crap in providing support to devices, is it safe to assume that we will never be getting 3.4 version of kernel?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] JoinTheRealms:
It doesnt require LG but to get it completely polished to OEM standard a team of that size is very handy. We may see another independently developed 3.4 kernel, nvidia has dropped their 3.4 kernel source for tegra which would make it easier, id personally rather backport some of its improvements and features than port it to our device
