[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] noobtoob:
Damn. That really does suck. I have had my phone since release day, I liove in California so no below zero weather here to gripe about, but my phone kept shutting itself off and I couldn't press the power button to lock/unlock screen. I have also never dropped my phone. Apparently I press the "wrong way" on the power button to lock and unlock my device. Turns out a small hairline crack was to blame. The bezel portion around my power button was getting stuck in between the leather case and the power button holding it down in the off position. I tried prying it out a few times with relative success but it would still get stuck down while in my pocket and when I wanted to use it. Eventually just removed it after I called it in and was also told not covered by insurance or manufacturer warranty. They wanted $150 to replace my phone for something extremely cosmetic. I am definitely not trying to downplay your issue, because it is way worse than mine, but maybe we both just got the crappy manufactured device???

They block the imei once you report it lost. So you're suggesting screw someone over by selling them a cracked and blocked phone.

I'm not saying I've done this, or that I haven't. But I've seen phones reported lost still being used by a close friend of the person. On tmobile and everything. And not just the Note 3, a few phones over the years.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] JE_25:
There are ways around it, you could change the imei number but that's illegal.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] flipq88:
Without doing anything, it still works on t-mobile.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] JE_25:
Did they report the phone lost to the mobile or the phone insurance company? Tmobile does not block the phone when it's reported lost or stolen. All they d I is suspend the line if you want. The insurance company is the one that blocks it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] flipq88:
Nope, straight to the insurance company. Have seen it done with about 4 different phones.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] JE_25:
You my friend are just lucky. I am a rep for T-mobile and I have never seen this work. All I can say is be careful. If they catch on there is a large bill headed your way.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jeep447:
Ok so I'm always the first to say that anything is always possible no matter how unlikely it might seem, but it's kinda hard to believe that a temperature change as slight as you stated could cause a screen to crack like that. Especially when you're talking about Gorilla Glass, because the tolerance for temp change is way higher than normal glass. I'm not just saying that you're a liar though because anything is ALWAYS possible, it's just a little hard to believe imo. Anyway like someone else mentioned I also repair small electronics, and I hate to break it to ya but $150 to have it repaired is actually a pretty good deal (even though it sucks having to pay for something that's not your fault). Again like someone else mentioned if you go to one these places that claim they can do it for $60-$80, you'll definitely be getting screwed. Gorilla Glass (even at wholesale prices) is more expensive by itself than what they claim they can do it for, which means they're using cheap knockoff glass along with cheap "edge only" adhesive. A lot of people don't realize it but unlike the phones from a couple of years ago, there's a layer of optical adhesive (which is ridiculously expensive) across the entire surface of the lcd which is sandwiched between the digitizer (the glass) and the lcd from the factory. This optical adhesive actually adds contrast, sharpness, and color depth to the screens display, and without it there's an extremely noticeable difference in the overall quality of display. I can practically guarantee a place that is claiming they can do the repair for that cheap is not going to use optical adhesive to properly replace the screen (considering how expensive it is), let alone use an actual Gorilla Glass screen as a replacement. So considering the cost of the replacement Gorilla Glass, the optical adhesive, and the amount of labor it takes to replace it, $150 is actually a pretty good deal for getting it repaired (especially if you want it to look like it did before it was broke). Anyway that's just my two cents and I'm sorry to hear that man because I know how much it sucks, but hopefully you'll get it worked out! :D

at first glance i would say no cause its for a iPAQ, but it is bluetoth and a lot of different BT stuff work with BA's, So any help info ppl could give me would be great....

BTW great site love it.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Surgical:

The GPS branded as HP bla bla is an obsolete type with old SiRF II. chipset. It is slow and not very sensitive at all.

Better obtain http://www.expansys.com.au/product.asp?code=127067 it is more expensive (only a little bit) but much more reliable, stable, sensitive etc. I am using this GPS with my BlueAngel flawlessly.

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Babyrasta:
I had similar issue when updating to 266 FW.

Let your phone 30min on wall charger

Try to flash only kernel with flashtool

If it success, you may be able to charge your phone, and after that make a full flash with flashtool.

It took me 2 days to solve the "brick".

If Flashtool doesen't prompt, try pushing the back power off button when entering in flash mode (vol down)

Hi, I have just been reading the thread about how to flash a ROM on to a phone without SD. My phone unfortunately does not come with a sd card reader so i might be unable to flash ROM's. Does anybody know if there is a way to do this, or if you could use a micro USB to SD adapter to be able to make this work.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] microbot118:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] DeputyStankus:
Everyone in my house recently switched over to the Galaxy Note 2. We love the phones, but for some reason, I got stuck with a defective s-pen.

My stylus doesn't do the same basic functions as the others, such as screen capture, quick commands, etc. On the other hand, it can do things the other pens can't, such as swipe between screens while hovering an inch above the glass and open apps, links, etc. by clicking the pen button while hovering an inch above the glass.

I love the bonus features, but the lack of basic features makes it unusable. After some research, I found all the guides to adjusting the potentiometer. I popped the button off the s-pen to adjust the little screw...and it's not there!

Here's a pic comparing everything: http://imgur.com/a/pm7EE

So...any help? Has anyone run into this before? Is there any way to fix this? I bought the phones used, so maybe this stylus is 3rd party?

I'm guessing that I can't swap this out via warranty now that I popped it open, so any help fixing is much appreciated!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrevankyle:
The pens arent locked to a specific device. Try one of the others and see if it gets normal functionality. Otherwise you can buy a new one for 20-30$
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] DeputyStankus:
I've actually tried all the pens on all the devices. Two of them do all the expected functions, while the one is okay for clicking links and such, but it won't do screen shots, quick command, etc. The thing where I can use it to swipe between screens or click links without even touching the screen is cool, though, so I was hoping I'd be able to get it to work and have the best of both worlds.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrevankyle:
Come to think of it it sounds like the tip button is stuck in. Try pushing the tip in on one of the regular ones with a piece of tape or something and ill bet you get the same functionality as the messed up one. So maybe try putting the tip in rubbing alcohol or something to get it unstuck
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] DeputyStankus:
The tip seems to work fine, and taping in the tips on the others doesn't replicate the issues. For example, taping up the tip on a normal one doesn't make it so that I can swipe pages and open links without even touching the screen. Plus, this still wouldn't explain why the inside components are different. :(

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andriodfanatic:
I saw a similar thread to this, but it wasnt my same situation. I've been shopping for a LG G2 to work on verizon, found a dude on craigslist with what he says is an unlocked one, Now he says its a sprint one. But unlocked for any carrier....is this true? Like is this even possible? If so, is it going to work on verizon...100%? Like data 4g, 3g etc?

Thanks all!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] askmeonemore:
I'm not an expert but I believe they are both CDMA. So it should work
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andriodfanatic:
That was my initial thought as well, but for 4g it should work no problem but for 3g/2g doesnt the ESN have to be registered on the network?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] staticx57:
Yes. Verizon years ago had a bring your own device policy that allowed you to register sprint devices on Verizon, but that was a long time ago.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andriodfanatic:
So i am correct, that it will not work?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LordLugard:
Don't bother.

CDMA carriers like Verizon and Sprint have a database of ESN's (serial numbers) that are approved for their network unlike GSM carriers like T-Mobile and AT&T where you can just pop in their respective SIM cards and use compatible unlocked GSM devices.

You can't just walk into a VZW store with a Sprint phone, go to the counter and tell the rep that you want to activate service with a (non-Verizon branded phone) Sprint phone. First of all, the ESN/MEID is not in their database, doesn't have any VZW prl (preferred roaming list) loaded, and in the case of LTE, isn't even compatible (VZW runs LTE on 700mhz, Sprint is on 800/1900/2500).

However, Sprint and VZW technically run their CDMA service (1xrtt, 3G EVDO) on compatible frequencies 800/850/1900, hence the reason their customers can roam off each other and vice versa. So technically it can work if VZW will accept the Sprint device ESN into their database and do all the backend OTA programming etc, but that's not going to happen. There's always the murky underworld of cloning, but i'll stop right here...:eek:

As for the person on Craigslist trying to urinate on you and convince you that it is raining, forget about him/her. It's likely that it might be unlocked, but that's only the GSM portion, for GSM carriers and not Verizon.

If you need a phone to use on Verizon, why not just get a Verizon phone and save yourself the hassle?

What's your exact problem? You're getting the data from the accelerator in the onSensorChanged()-Method, so you just need to send them there.

Use DataOutputStream and DataInputStream to send/read the three float-values: DataOutputStream#writeFloat(event.values[0/1/2]);

Sweet baby jesus, lord all mighty, thank you.
[Java for Android App Development] NoiseAgent:
When I add that to the onSensorChanged I get the error "Cannot make a static reference to the non-static method writeFloat(float) from

the type DataOutputStream" not sure how to clear it up.

Also, I have jumped in way over my head, I really just want to wrap this last bit up and start from scratch. If anyone has a good resource for learning object oriented Java programming and would like to share, that would just be the bees-knees.
[Java for Android App Development] EmptinessFiller:
Of course java/object oriented programming is necessary.

You have to create an object from the ObjectOutputStream like

ObjectOutputStream oos = new ObjectOutputStream(...);

oos.writeFloat(...);

At&t gs4 i337,

4.3, mk2,

Used a mac to format msd card (m=micro btw)

I extracted the 4 files from the original rar file

It is in the correct location and I have tried putting it into folders and doing it that way.

I used fx file viewer (really great app btw works very well with root if you have it) fx confirms msd is in exfat.

I use the cd command (tried 2 different terminals also) get to the msd card, when I try to run the script or the pwn using the ./ command it returns permissions denied, then I get a notification with a shield next to it stating and I quote, "security information (title) an application attempted to access system on your device without authorization. This attempt has been blocked. Deleting applications obtained from unauthorized sources may improve security"

Box, “do not show for 30 days"

Cancel, view apps.

Is there a certain terminal? Do I jeed to mess with the developer settings? Will adb work even though terminal emulator isnt?

the exfat methood didnt work for me (it shouldnt have anyway)

the saferoot methood never worked out either for some reason. i even tried it on different computers, got kies drivers, tried drivers from samsung website... idk if its because i have the at&t gs4 (sgh-i337) or what but....

finaly just used kingo root app. once my internet started working again, it worked like a charm. im not sure if knox was tripped and if i was burned or not, (a slight change of a 0x0 to a 0x1 in the download mode telling you rooted and knox caught you)

on a side note my friend tried to downgrade his AT&T gs4 active (sgh-i557 i think) using a "one click oden" methood, and then planned on rooting it again, (he had to factory reset, then got the ota update the next day by mistake)

well he bricked it... basically just flashed garbage to his phone rather than stock firmware. well we took it to best buy to the samsung area, they flashed the correct firmware and fixed it, they used the samsung version of odin, only theirs is legit unlike oden.

anyway, bestbuy apparently is a good stop when you break your samsung device, root or no root, warranty or no warranty, they are worth a shot.
