Yeah,,, you may be right I am a newbie... but since I stopped using TOUCHWIZ, I have experienced fewer a fewer lock-ups. I dunno what it is happening with my phone, but that is a fact. I am using KITKAT launcher.

The current stock ROM I am using is: 4.1.2 .... (I9300UBEMH2)

I am not familiar with undervolting to lower my phone's temp... maybe you can guide me about using it, or I could search the web for it.

UPDATE: I installed TWITTER Apps yesterday and each time I used it, it froze my phone for 12 min approx. Any suggestion?

:confused:
[Galaxy S III General] JJEgan:
Read the freezing thread sticky .

Delete this non working fix as well .
[Galaxy S III General] froycard:
Why should I? Are you a moderator of this forum?
[Galaxy S III General] froycard:
Well I just want to update my post.

Yesterday I just wanted to continue figuring this freezing problem out. Since I published my experiences about freezing until yesterday the problem appears to have reduced significantly. I was using stock ROM ver. 4.1.2 flashed with KIES.

But I wanted to continue testing other ROM's. I tried to install a ROM named SAMMY'S ROM developed by guy named JustArchi (that I found in this forum). However I could not install it on my phone (SGS3 - GT-I9300) since it gave me some errors when I tried to install: ERROR STATUS 7

A margin note: This techie or nerdie called JustArchi gave me the boot from his thread for trying to seek help on this error.. so I trashed this SAMMY'S ROM and move on with another solution.

Whatever, I downloaded another official stock Rom ver. 4.3, released by SAMSUNG, intended for IRELAND - I am not from Ireland, but Venezuela (I founded it at SAMMOBILE under the top 10 latest firmware just released). By using ODIN, I flashed my phone, and to tell the truth, my phone feels differently. I haven't experimented any sluggish or lagging, not even a freezing so far (knocking on wood).

For precaution, I am installing one app at the time, and giving it time to see if everything is stable.

Conclusion: to any guys who is getting the annoying freezing, I think you must stick with it until your mobile carrier makes ROM ver. 4.3 available. Otherwise, if you are like me, wanting to work things out for yourself, download any ROM (ver. 4.3 compatible with your phone model) and test it on your phone. Before doing that, you just have to search the Internet for directions to do so, I am not responsible for what you do with your phone. I'll keep updating if another problem arises.

Note: since I am getting some rude comments from senior members who think they are too techie to read newbie's comments, queries, etc. I am not interested in their replies since they are not helping at all, thus I just ignore your lame comments from now on. Just scram. :cool:
[Galaxy S III General] jinosong:
Dude, you're really not helping anybody here with your information here. I don't know what you think you're sharing. The error 7 pertains to recover error which can be eliminated by installing an alternate recovery version.

I don't care if you're a newbie or not but you are spreading false info.

I'll scram now. :D

Hi, Is anyone have a same problem with me? My dopod 818 pro sometimes get blank on network signal... and after restart get a signal again.

The big problem is when I was on call suddenly get blank.

Anyone get a solution for me?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] acer175:
Hi, it may not be related but I had that problem with the original ROM on my Imate, no problem now with the AKU2 upgrade.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Keda_P:
Hi guys, after having a faulty Note 3 for about a month I have requested a new phone from Tmobile.

They have promised me a "Like New" device, not refurbished.

But I do not really trust them, I have a feeling like even my phone is not new.

I know that there must be a way to check if my phone is new or refurbished. I have 4.3 android installed.

All the standard codes do not work ... ##786# etc .... can anyone help? Maybe point me to some app?

P.S.

Nova launcher did not help either.

Thank you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rlee008:
after a month, yes you're getting a refurbished device. new exchange is 14 days or less, everyone knows that. stop worrying if its refurbished, if it works better than your last one then all is fine... just focus on testing the replacement and make sure that it works for you. if it works fine then move on. its a refurbished replacement. its replacing your damaged device.

it'll be fine
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Keda_P:
My whole question is how to test the new device ....

Just regular check ... ? Or maybe there is some kind of an app.

And I do not think its fair that I should get a refurbished device if I received a bad one since day one.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] BACARDILIMON:
No app can test a phone like fully. It is under warranty. Plus you won't have it long enough. Just enjoy it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Keda_P:
Bastards sent me a refurb phone, basically i lost 400 bucks in value for nothing.

Also it has a minor scratch on the screen and the S-Pen doesnt get out without a fight. I have requested another one.

NEVER WILL I BUY PHONES ONLINE.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] deeznutz1977:
any phone you get from tmobile from exchangers are going to be refurbs. I got one but I'm not complaining. This refurb is better than my new one. No more Unstable wifi. And it can handle being uv so much better

Also all the S pens are hard to get out. It will get easier over time.

As for the scratch call and *****. They will replace it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] BACARDILIMON:
Lies all lies lol. I j/k. He speaks truth mine should be here tomorrow. Come on bin 5
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] deeznutz1977:
Lol BACARDILIMON what's this number 5 err 7 you know come to think of it is probably your fault that the op for a refurb...... Lol jk
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] BACARDILIMON:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] thatotherguy..:
I had to send back to refurbished phones then finally when I called to today they called the warehouse and got me a brand new one, getting it tomorrow
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] people211:
I wonder if I got a refurb when I bought my note from mobile. I had an issue with the phone not wanting to boot after pulling the battery and replacing. I didn't notice this until months after. I recently left tmobile for straight talk so I couldn't take it back to them. So I decided to send into Samsung even though I tripped Knox. They fixed it (according to the service website) and its on its way back. I'll test out out to make sure, then sell it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Keda_P:
Thank you, that is comforting if not the damn scratch on the screen.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Keda_P:
How did u do that?

Im thinking of getting insurance and telling i lost my phone, then they will send me a new one and i will keep this one as media player.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] thatotherguy..:
I kept bugging them about it, because they give you **** ass headphones like Wtf why send headphones at all and no spen tips,, when I called I told the lady what was going on and she put me on hold and came back starting she on the phone with the warehouse
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Keda_P:
Ill keep that in mind.... Want to have phone that is not refurbished.. I bought this one for $700 refurbished is half price.

WTF they steal 50% of the value for nothing?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Keda_P:
Another point: Refurbished phones are 90 days warranty while normal ones 1 year...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] deeznutz1977:
Thanks for the thanks hitting the thanks button works too :)

---------- Post added at 11:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:53 AM ----------

Where did you hear about the 90 days as opposed to a year honestly as long as you don't have water damage/ broken screen ... well scratch that i've never worried about the year warranty. Reason being insurance.. and now i have jump so ins. is bundled
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Keda_P:
From samsung ....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] apacseven:
At the risk of sounding like I'm calling you out... Are you sure they didnt mean for a device sourced from places other than carriers? I've had no problems getting warranty coverage from OEM's (including Samsung) all the way up to the first year after getting refurb replacements. I'd def like some clarification in case something changed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Keda_P:
Dont be ridiculous lol "Calling me out"....

I know nothing, I just repeat what samsung tech told me. I guess he was wrong, you sound much more knowledgeable.

Thank you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] flipq88:
You could do that. But that would be insurance fraud. Not saying I haven't done it though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Keda_P:
Real fraud is to sell me a refurb phone $700, causing me all the trouble of resetting the damn devices .. ive done it 6 times already!!!!

I should get a new device, even if i will do the thing with insurance i will be still loosing the $150 that i will have to pay. Hate them!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Towle:
Per the Samsung warranty, you get 90 days or your remaining warranty, whichever is longer. But, if you have insurance through T-Mobile, you get a lifetime warranty.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Towle:
You also receive a refurb through insurance.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Keda_P:
Incorrect, I receive a brand new phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Towle:
I suppose you could have been one of the rare circumstances. If you go through insurance for a phone that hasn't been out long, you have a better chance of receiving a new one. But their new provider (no longer Asurion) sends out refurbs whenever possible.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Keda_P:
I asked Tmobile representative yesterday and they told me I get a new one, also I have a friend who shattered his phone by mistake and got a completely new one.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] thatotherguy..:
In the end the Insurance f**** everybody over

---------- Post added at 10:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:44 PM ----------

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Keda_P:
Well, im stuck with a refurbished one.. after 2 hours on the phone and some RUDE woman named Jezelle hanging up to my face i got nothing.

Stole my money, I will definitely not buy online anymore.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] flipq88:
I'd just call and make up some lies, like that the wifi doesn't connect right, or that it doesn't charge. Get it replaced again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Naturesretard:
Unless you are having a problem; no gps, no wifi, dead pixels, stop *****ing. I returned my s3 for a refurbished s3 lte and noticed nothing wrong with it. Refurbished phones don't mean worse quality, it means it was used and fixed to work again; do you not know what "like new" means?. Just like getting a pre owned car.

Stop complaining
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Keda_P:
I am not sure I like your tone.

If I have paid 800 buck I should get a device that costs that much. Refurbished phone costs half the price and if i sell it the buyer will not have warranty. I usually sell my devices but now I cant. and if money is not an issue for you, please send me some.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Naturesretard:
You still have a warranty. And you still get working features, practically no different than any other one. Just gently used. Like I said before, it's like pre owned or like new cars.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] altimax98:
While you are right and I understand your viewpoint, you are also wrong...

When you buy a brand new car and you have issues you don't walk into the dealership and walk out with another off the lot. That's not the way things work. If you want repairs you bring it in and get your old car fixed. You can easily send your phone to Samsung and get it fixed and be without a phone for a few weeks.

Unlike with cars there's no local dealership that can repair it for you. T-Mobile is doing you a service by offering to take your defective device, have it fixed and in return send you exactly what you would have gotten if you sent yours to Samsung... a device that was new, had an issue (or not some were returns because they didn't like it), got fixed and sent back....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Keda_P:
You are also not entirely correct, you cant compare this to a car being bought from a broker.

The thing is that Tmobile charges me monthly for their service and they gave me a defective phone for which they still charge me.

And if I paid $800 they can "switch" it for something that costs half of it. If I would complain after a month - yes, it it was 15-17 days the deal was fresh I did not have the chance to check the phone to see the defect. Also, if I send it to samsung for a week or so, it could get lost (happened before) and while I am a week without a phone I still pay Tmobile, they will not deduct the "down time" from my paycheck and this is why I am upset. Definitely not like buying a car.

Car is one night stand where phone is marriage.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] BACARDILIMON:
Lol ur not gonna get a new phone no matter what. Even if u break it under insurance it does not come new. That's it. No matter how you word it. Sorry it not what you want to hear but it the truth.

TWEAKED 2.0
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Keda_P:
U underestimate me!

I got $120 as a compensation and an offer to get new device half price ($400).

I can get that ad sell mine for $400 or more, so technically, not only i will get new device i will actually make few hundred dollars.

Also the trick with insurance works , tmobile rep told me i get new device, new in box.. so i can make even more money.

One thing though... my refurbished device is actually very good! on Antutu 35807! and works perfectly .. so I can get new for $400 and just sell it for 600+ ...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] BACARDILIMON:
Good luck.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Keda_P:
Well, I got $120 for inconvenience and then got an offer to get a new phone for half price.

Got the phone and sold it same day. Since I ended up with a refurbished phone, which costs 75% to 50% of an original, I think getting ~$350 for whatever happened to me is fine. And I must tell you this: sometimes refurbished is better than the new one, mine scores 35.5k in Antutu and 24k in quadrant while none of the devices [3] i held before never reached near that mark. Works flawlessly.

Thank you guys for your replies.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Keda_P:
Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Muffycheeks:
Good for you hanging in there !! They compensated you for down time and made you a "good faith" offer on a NEW phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Keda_P:
Lol, just received a letter from tmobile saying i owe them $180 because the device i have sent to them had physical damage.

Lol it was the one they have sent me, I just sent it back. Yelled at them for 20 minutes got me money back.

Crazy ppl they are.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] killerxx2:
There seems to be a lot of confusion on how to unlock the T-Mobile note 2. This unlock is dependent on what modem you have not necessarily the rom or software that is on the phone. However i HIGHLY RECOMMEND you use a stock rom for this unlock procedure. this tutorial assumes you already have rooted your device, and a custom recovery installed. Do that before following this guide

I am not responsible to anything that happens to your device.

You must be rooted on a custom recovery for this guide to work.

This guide is only for the t-mobile note 2 ​

You will lose 4GLTE when you downgrade your modem don't be alarmed it will come back when we update the modem at the end of the guide

1. First you need to downgrade your modem

UVALJ1_Modem

You will download the flash able zip and flash it via recovery.

2. Reboot your device and then follow these instructions.

3. After you reboot verify that your device is unlocked, i had a blank att laying around if it does not ask you for an unlock code it should be good

4. Reboot Into recovery and re-flash the new modem.

4.3 Modem

4.1.2 Modem Latest (anyone has minor it would be great)

Congratulations you have now unlocked your Note 2 for use with any carrier. the main point of this guide was to explain it all in one post. i hope this answered any questions that people were having about unlocking this phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] UnidH4x0r:
Things to note:

The unlock will stay regardless of what ROM or update you flash.

If you have unlocked a ATT Note 2 than you need to follow these instructions to allow LTE:

Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] pyraxiate:
Use twrp / cwm and backup your cm10.2. Wipe data / system / dalvik / cache. Install a stock based touchwiz rom ( I used jedi x1 ... but whatever you use CHECK THE MD5!! ). Downgrade modem and follow the steps. After successful unlock, restore your backup.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] chi_tilt:
Blacklisted??

***If this question is not allowed I'm sorry***

I'm curious does this unlock it from the Blacklist?

I have a Note 2 that is Blacklisted, thats why i'm asking.

Thanks

Lem
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Coug76:
There are two ways to get a blacklisted device running. One is to get the phone legit again by getting the blacklisting lifted if the original owner was a deadbeat. I recommend this though it can be *difficult*.

The other is to fraudulently change the IMEI ("IMEI Repair") which is not OK to discuss here. This is the only option for people who possess stolen phones and don't mind being criminals. Those people have no place in our community.

I suggest approaching T Mobile and asking them why the device was blacklisted. After that you will be able to discern your next course of action.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] chavist:
Apparently this doesn't work if you are on a 4.4 rom even with the suggested modem. I don't currently have a 4.3 or lower rom available to try this with. Just and FYI
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] chavist:
I was able to get my phone unlocked. So my downgrade from 4.4 Rom and install a 4.3 touchwiz Rom with the modem listed in the first post. Thank you so much for this!!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sleepfaster:
Yep. Thanks, Chavist. I had been struggling with this for several years till you finally put the pieces together for me. Once I used the 4.3 ROM and the ...J1 modem, it worked like a champ!

Hello,

My phone is Note 2 N7015 with TWRP updated

i was using Liquidsmooth 4.1.2 and decided to update it to 4.3.

After flashing I kinda lost signal. I was able to receive texts but i wasnt able to send any.

I had LTE but no GPS

I'm using TWRP the newest I believe

i take a backup at this point and tried to flash different roms to get full signal.

I also had a backup from 1 year ago, Jedi Rom. Which was working perfectly but not anymore.

with that touchwiz rom, still I have no signal

I just realized i can not flash every rom out there. I tried to flash Pacman for n7105.

For some realason with TWRP i'm not able to use every rom. Like Pacman, carbon and many others.

Right now, I'm trying to work Meanbean rom (touchwiz) and i stucks in setup wizard. Says please wait while we activite your phone. For 20 minutes.

I really do not know what to do,

please help me, thank you .

------

OKAY, i used my really old Liquid backup and its fixed now.

But i still want 2 answers if you can help.

How can i maintain signal after updating LQ or any other rom

also, how can i flash other roms to this device. TWRP always says fail in around 10 seconds
