[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ezknives:
Thank you kindly for you reply... I was just checking, as in *#*#info#*#* menuthere is the option cdma only... So I take it, that statement was your kind and polite way of saying "no sir, unfortunately this is a GSM only device and you will not be able to use it on a CDMA network"....so if that's the case I thank you for that...
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Dvarl:
There is a difference with what you are talking about and what your asking. What you asked refers to hardware, the modems are not compatible. Roaming is slightly different. Most CDMA carriers do not use a Sim style card, as far as I know Verizon is the only company that does. In the U.S. there are a few gsm carriers that would work with the t679. But it will never work on a CDMA network. For more info on the difference between CDMA and gsm check Google, there are several articles explaining why its not possible. That's how I knew the answer to your question to begin with.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] samsunggalaxyexhibit4g:
I am using ATT. ATT is also gsm. Verzon is cdma. You cant use a gsm phone on CDMA. Sorry:crying::crying:

Hello,

I've never specfically used the Universal through the Watchguard firewall, but we have loads of himalayas and alpines all working fine.

If its a problem specific to the Universal you've got I could try it for you, but I can't imagine there being any problems

I tried downloading a theme created by a Google Circles user. I followed his exact instructions for downloading the file, yet I never see it in Themer. Do I have to cut the file from the file explorer and then paste it into Themer?

Hi mate

All you need to do is copy the .zip file you downloaded and paste it in

Now select my themes / exporter

Now select the theme you downloaded and hit apply.

Job done :)

Hello Everyone,

I have a rogers Galaxy S3 I747M that I have been running with Cyanogenmod for 6 months. A few weeks ago I used the CM desktop loader to load CM10.2 on my phone and it was working fine. Yesterday my phone told me there was a CM update so I downloaded it and it seemed to be working but glitchy.

This morning my phone reset itself and now when I turn it on it just goes to the samsung screen and shuts off. I can't get into recovery or download mode.

Do I need a Jtag? Should I pay $100 to a local shop to do it.

Do I need to buy a USB jig? How do I use it if I buy one from ebay?

Thank you
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Does the phone power up at all? Do you have access to a USB jig to try?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] fatestkid:
The phone powers up for only a second. I can't get into recovery. I can get to download screen but it shuts off in 2 seconds.

USB jig cannot keep in download mode either, phone shuts off.

I don't think it is a power button short because its not looping and my power button or USB ports have given me no issues. CM hasn;t give me issues either until today, after some random update yesterday. It kept telling me to download/update the software and I did. and it worked all night and then just restarted this morning and is not dead
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] IcemanReturns:
Same issue

I'm facing the same issue too.

I have an AT&T Samsung Galaxy S3. I was running CM11 nightlies. It was working perfectly fine for all these days. Couple of days back it suddenly died. The phone hasn’t been switching on back since then. I tried putting it on full charge. Whenever I pull out the battery and reinsert, it vibrates, the LED comes on and the Samsung screen comes on for a second and then the phone turns off again. I cannot access the recovery or download modes through the key combinations. I also tried going into download mode using a Jig. I have to remove the battery and reinsert it. The Jig did work and the phone did go into download mode but, only for a second and then turns off. I’m not sure what exactly the issue is.

Can anyone help us with this issue?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ChinDaChin:
I HAD THE SAME ISSUE!!!!!!

Phone is running fine, 30 minutes later it's dead. I pull the battery, put it back in, it vibrates, turns on, and turns off quickly.

Do this:

Pull out battery for 1 minute.

Put the battery in and DON'T touch it at all.

Does it vibrate? Then turn on by itself?

It should show Samsung Logo quickly, then the start of the CM boot menu.

If so, you've got a bad power button. I had the same issue. Only thing to do is replace the power button.

I got mine fixed here: http://brickedmyphone.com/

The guys name is Joe, and he probably will confirm the same thing I said. He will also trouble shoot it with you when you said him an email.

TL;DR: I doubt you're bricked, most probably bad power button.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] spagman72:
That is correct...( This is Joe ) sounds like a bad power switch

Hi sony lovers

After opening the bootloader bravia engine 2 albums did not work. With this mode, BRAVIA Engine 2 albums and movies will work. You need to use the original ROM. origin 4.1 4.2 4.3 works with.

custom ROM is useless. Whether open or closed bootloader works. Only use original enough. I also tried the original 4.3 and spectacular works.

NEW

I'm so glad I did that. I tried very hard and finally ran xreality mode. ALBUM and video works. Xreality more quickly optimize photos. Only Xperia z original ROM works. Follow the steps below.

INSTALL

1) DOWNLOAD FILE

2) INSTALL ROOT EXPLORER

3) DELETE SYSTEM /APP / CREDENTIAL MENAGER SERVISE.ODEX AND CREDENTIAL MENAGER SERVISE.APK

4) RESTORE BRAVIA ENGINE file flash

5) X-REALITY FOR XPERİA Z file flash

NOTE: works on odex ROM only. Get a backup before installation. I'm not responsible if your phone is broken.

Please report back if it does not work. I'll help.

PLEASE THANKS

I Love you Sony

I'm NOT saying that this 100% doesn't work and is a hoax. I was saying that people should take caution before installing mods (or anything else) from somebody who nobody has seen before (he's a VERY new member).

You'd be surprised by the amount of people making hoax mods. Some of them are even made for malicious intent, and this one had the usual signs.

All I do is warn people of the chance of such a thing, and I get ridiculed?

Judging by the reactions of people, this seems genuine, but what if it WAS a threat?

At least I would have tried to help.

there is lot of people know a lot of stuff but they don't try to subscribe to forum.

but you must take down your words.
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] :
It's not solely based on that he's a new user, it's just everything reminded me of a situation that went on a while ago on the Arc S forums (somebody who nobody had seen published a 'mod', several people tried it out, and their phones were hard bricked).

I was worried that this would be similar (although perhaps not as bad as bricking).

But, if people are happy with this, and it works, and this predicament has been caused by my lapse of judgement, then I apologise, and I will remove my confrontational post.

Hello,

Noobs here. 1st of all, thanks for your work (click Thanks already) :victory:

Btw Did & follow ur instruction already; and following is my feedback ; please advise if anythin wrong.

1. My devices spec is XZ, Root, Unlock Bootloader. Odex 4.3

2. After reboot, I had message popup like "CredientialManager... stopped". So I clicked OK.

3. Then i check on system/app still have CredentialManagerService.apk. So i did delete again then redo ur point4 n 5. Reboot

4. Then i didnt have any similar message popup like my point1.

Q :

1. Any incorrect result from my steps above, and why i had that popup message ?

2. Please let me know if this mod already successfully installed or not on my XZ ?

3. One more noobs Q, how should i know the differences before and after flash this mod ? can i do like untick bravia engine 2 option ?

[MENTION=5653974]64yusuf[/MENTION], I really want to thank u from all of my heart for this mod, i'v been using my device without BE since i bought it.

i don't know how this thread is not highlighted or mentioned before, that's a shame.

And for all people here, I can confirm that this mod is working perfectly and u will see the difference immediately

So man u really deserve all Xperia Z users respect for bringing back BE to our device.

Note: I am on eXistenZ v5.0.0, and as i remember it's an Deodexed Rom, so it'll work with bouth odex and Deodexed Roms.

Is there a chance this mod would also work on other sony phones?
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] showlyshah:
Conformed working mod.

On

Xperia z stock 4.3 deodexed rom, unlocked bootloader.

For those who dont belive.. Here is the steps to confirm yourself.

Nb. You need some brightly colored pictures with good sunlight and verity of colours. A pic of green hills with sky in a sunny day will be enough. I did the same, an hdr shot of same view with lil sharpness,contrast, colout enhancements, which i took.

Go to system/app and delete credential manager apk.

Copy the contents of both zips using the filemanager to system ( i use xplore filemanager, its very easy to work with,and no need to fix permission too. Coz it will replace same permissions of the file,while replacing.

Now reboot

And the adjust ur brightness to maximum ( u really want to notice the changes,rit?)

The open album and select the photo.

Wait for 2-3 seconds and watch the colour and contrast enhancing

Nb. If it is a high resolution pic,it will take a second or two to load, u will see the pic getting smooth, then u will see the bravia engine enhancing the pic. Collect 5-10 pics of same behavior to check it.

Tail end:- dude i am not colour blind, i mean it. It realy works.

Thanks to the dev. To make it work.

This started since i flashed this mod, and upgraded from XzK-v19 to v20 so I'm not quite sure which is it.
