[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Larry2999:
Can you go to your phone's settings => about device and check what the firmware settings are? Let's see what you have under firmware version, baseband version & build number. If possible, you may post a screen shot. Did you say you returned to stock by wiping your phone? Hardly seems likely and you would have probably needed to flash some firmware. Would you recall what you flashed?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] GraphicsApathy:
Thanks for stepping up. My phone's info is:

Android Version is 4.1.1

Baseband is I747UCDLK3

Build is JRO03L.I747UCDLK3

I did not flash any firmware, as I had no reason to.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Larry2999:
It's definitely on AT&T firmware. Apologies if I sound like I'm doubting you but are you certain it had T-Mobile firmware when you acquired it? I'd guess it was probably already an AT&T phone. If you bought it in the secondary market, there could have been some previous repairs involving parts swaps. Your safest bet may be to leave it as is and unlock for you use on T-Mobile. Trying to force on T-Mobile firmware now could result in a brick. As it is on 4.1.1, you can easily free unlock it by following the well tested method you'll find elsewhere in this forum.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] GraphicsApathy:
No apologies needed. I forgot to state that the phone was purchased with the T-Mobile boot animation and bloatware already present, and that the model number printed below the battery is T999. I've got no clue if there was a parts swap or not. Is the method to unlock that's posted elsewhere that you're referring to the one that begins with you dialing *#197328640#? If so, i've tried it but never got the unlock message to show.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Larry2999:
There could have been a previous JTag operation involving forced firmware installation on the MB. I've seen previous hybrid firmware involving one or other partition belonging to a different model - e.g. the modem, bootloader or something else but not the complete system.

Yes, that's the unlock method I was referring to. You won't get any confirmation that the process worked at the end. However, if you did it correctly, you would know it worked when you insert a non-compatible SIM card and it works. You should also be able to install T-Mobile apps especially the Wi-Fi calling app which is a really nice feature of T-Mobile.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] GraphicsApathy:
I'm getting it microSIM'ed tomorrow. I'll see how that goes.

UPDATE: Successfully obtained and installed T-Mobile microSIM. Still wish to replace AT&T boot animation and bloatware with T-Mobile's, though.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Larry2999:
OK. I'd be interested in knowing the outcome but I'll be surprised if it isn't unlocked already. Did some further research and there have been some reports of people successfully 'flashing' AT&T firmware on T-Mobile phones, and vice versa. Not sure why this should happen and conventional logic suggests the result should be a hard brick which is indeed the most common outcome. I'll also suggest you boot into download mode and see the information under bootloader. If the device has a T-Mobile bootloader, it may be possible to remove the OS via custom recovery and re-flash T-Mobile firmware.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] GraphicsApathy:
Download mode currently gives Product Name as SGH-I747. Wiping AT&T OS via custom recovery and then installing the proper one sounds like a good lead. I eagerly await your instruction :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Larry2999:
If download mode info shows secure bootloader enabled, the phone is, to all intents and purposes, now an AT&T phone. Attempting to flash T-Mobile firmware may likely result in a brick which would require a JTag fix. I was hoping download mode would show it still had a T-Mobile bootloader which could have allowed for safe firmware installation but this does not appear to be the case. Likely the motherboard was previously replaced or it suffered a brick and AT&T firmware was JTagged on. Either way, it would be safer to leave it as is.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] GraphicsApathy:
Bummer. I'll leave it as is then. Thank you for all the help.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viper2ko:
I have the verizon G2 rooted, it is stock recovery however I deleted bloat apps using rootbrowser a while back. It accepts OTA update and reboots, then gives Error and goes back to normal screen. I believe this is because of the apps I deleted. I don't have a backup of them. Is there any way to just copy stock apps back into the apps folder?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjones73:
Easiest thing is to flash your phone back to stock with the LG Flashtool then let it take the OTA. You can root it again with ioroot25 and add busy box via a Play Store app.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viper2ko:
I tried using LG Flashtool, have my phone in download mode, when I hit the yellow arrow to start the flash it says READY!! under COM41 and nothing happens, the phone just stays at 0%.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjones73:
Did you unplug and re-plug in the phone as instructed?

From the guide..

3) Now click the yellow arrow in the top left of the main window. It will prepare and maybe give a milky way error (seriously) ignore it until it says finished, or ready.

4) Now unplug your phone, power off and then go back into download mode again, volUp+USB. It should immediately connect and start flashing.

Just a tip, to power off from Download mode, hold in the power button for about 10 seconds.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viper2ko:
When I try to power off, and hold the power button the phone reboots itself.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buenarc:
Oh man. I'm afraid you need to talk to Tier 2 customer service. they can do some steps to make the update work.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viper2ko:
What do you mean? Its not Bricked. It just boots back into the home screen
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjones73:
Turn it off after it boots, do the process to get into download mode...
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viper2ko:
Tried that, but the percentage still doesn't change on the phone. And it still just says READY! under COM41.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viper2ko:
I was able to quickly get it back into download mode again after the unplug, but it still does nothing, just sits at 0%. and LG Flash tool still just says READY
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjones73:
Did you verify in Device Manager on your PC that it's also set to Com41?

1) Go ahead and put phone in Download mode by VolUp + plug in USB to PC. At this time your computer should install the device, if it hadnt already. Open device manager to check if un der "Ports (Com and LPT)" it shows up as LGE AndroidNet for VZW USB Serial Port (COM##) IF the COM number is anything other than 41, which it probably will be. Right click it in device manager and choose peroperties, then go to port settings tab and click advanced. On the bottom choose COM41 and hit OK. (if you get an error about it being in use I'll write more about that later)

I missed that the first time around.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] CZ Eddie:
I've been running AOSP ROM's on various phones for a few years and this is the first time I've heard of this. So I thought I'd let you all know in case you didn't already know.

NOTE 3 with CyanogenMOD 11.... you can now enable the display's "High Sensitivity" (aka: glove mode) just like you can in TouchWiz!!!

This is thanks to developer 'broodplank1337'. Here's his thread!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=52142538

ps. I'm on TMO Note 3.

This works great in CM11 latest build, but did not work in SlimBean.

Though, it may work in SlimBean with a different kernel?:good:

Now I can ride my Motorcycle and keep AOSP functionality of my Note 3 that I keep docked under my windscreen. The Note 3 gives me speedo, GPS, Radar Detection, and controls my calls/media using Utter with Bluetooth to my helmet speakers/mic.

If you follow the wiki the first thing you can read (in capitals) is the following:

WARNING!!!!! DO NOT PERFORM THIS IF YOUR PROPHET HAS THIS ROM "SPL 2.xx.0001"

It's only for versions 2.09, 2.13, or 2.15 (without .001)

If you follow all the steps you'll have your machine without CID, and you can upgrade or downgrade it. You can't see 2.15.001 when you've just finished all the steps, but you can install the ROM that you want.

I've the last dopod ROM and I'll prefer the spanish imate one, but i can (mine is 2.15.001).

Belive me, I follow all the step the Dopod and PDAMobiz guys mentioned, but I can not see the IPL 2.15.0001.

I was running with Spanish Qtek 2.09..... with the lasted Dopod 2.15, with the PDAMobiz ROM and now with the i-mate JAMin - Spanish 2.13.

But sorry I never saw on my screen the 2.15.0001. I have all the tools such CID unlock, Overclock, all the lasted ROM's in market... But the way, I'm rellya happy with the i-mate JAMin Rom, also is my 7th. PPC and is in Spanish language, with overclock is speed improve so much (at 240 MHz)

Plug it in the pc and check what happends, or leave it on the wall charger again for a full night. If it won't turn on after that with different button combinations like power and volume up/down then there is nothing we can do !

I recently found out it can be used to remotely wipe etc. But is it worth having it enabled? On a day to day basis will it annoy
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] bjoostema:
The ability to wipe your device remotely is already offered on Android, it's under the google settings. As far as if it will be annoying, it would drive me nuts but it may not bother you. I find it to be far too intrusive and it's just something running in the background consuming resources/battery. It is possible, but an anti virus is not truly needed. Just don't download sketchy sh!t and stay away from untrusted websites. I personally disabled it immediately.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] TheCrazyDirectioner:
So today I was in the living room with no one around or other noise, and was talking on the phone laying on my side and just having the phone lay on top of my ear. When the conversation stopped and the person on the other end hung up, I noticed that there was some very faint buzzing noises coming from what appears to be the inside of the phone.

I did some experimenting and found that when my phone is on, there is a buzzing/humming noise that's really only audible from the earpiece speaker. The closest thing I could compare the sound to is a hard drive reading or writing data. Right after turning the screen off, the buzzing/humming changes to a higher-pitched crackling that has alternations (like some computers where you plug headphones in and can hear buzzing whenever you move the mouse or do something). About 5-10 seconds with the screen of it turns to a solid high-frequency whine (like what you get with some USB wall charger bricks, but actually more comparable to something like the tire squeal of a car doing a burnout).

Has anybody ever witnessed this? These are quite high-frequency and VERY faint sounds so some people might have it but not be able to hear it with their ears themselves, but it's just something that I noticed. :confused:

Is there a rom that already has this. i just want the camera app really from sense.. CAn any1 help me
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr.dj26:
I dont think this will work. I tried this before on my htc one x with cm. HTC camera is made for sense and as I know it wont work on the GPE. HTC has to make it compatible with other android versions like they did with the gallery and blinkfeed.

Anyway, you can still download htc gallery and the duo camera effects will work fine if thats whats u need.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hellscythe:
I believe the Sense camera relies on Sense framework to operate. so no, will not work on GPE.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] zabz:
Wow, I went to their main online store and they are selling them for $7.15 each including a 10% discount! So mmmmBACON you really found us a bargain!

Speaking of the 10% discount if you enter the coupon code "youtube" during checkout at WirelessGround.com you will get 10% off your entire order.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
Thanks!

I know that airplane mode is sort of similar to having it off, but I wanted to be able to snap screenshots. I also pretty much never turn my phone off. Reboot it every now and then sure, but rarely it is ever powered off. I rebooted the phone and then switched on airplane mode to limit most external power drains but still allow me to switch on the screen and grab a screenshot.

Also, are you sure you maybe haven't misjudged your charging time? It is kind of impossible to go from 15% - 100% in 30min with the stock charger/cable even with the phone off. It is a 1.2A charger and even if it theoretically had 100% efficiency for the entire charge cycle and had no slowdowns, it would have to charge a 2300mAh battery. 15% is 345mAh, so that leaves 1955mAh to fill. 1.2A in 60 minutes at 100% efficiency is 1200mAh. There is still 755mAh remaining and that is already 60 minutes charging. That would require roughly an additional 38 minutes. So if it was theoretically at 100% efficiency, it would take a minimum of 98 minutes to go from 15% - 100%.

[MENTION=3746653]mmmmBACON[/MENTION]: I've tried a combo from a friend which charges even faster. 2A OEM Samsung charger + generic OEM HTC cable.

Do you have any good sources for cables which ship worldwide?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Znamir81:
Did you check the cable? I ordered Samsung 2A charger as well but it was the charger that actually outputed only 1.2A. Bundled cable was great and allowed higher amperage.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Geo2160:
Yep, I tried it. I have a very thick Blackberry cable lying around which in combination with the Samsung charger goes to ~2amps. Unfortunately it's only 10 inches long so it's pretty much useless. I don't like having outlets on tables or my phone charging on the floor.
