[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeythedude:
Hi all, long time reader/lurker, but finally took the plunge on one of the Korean G3 phones and ran into this...

Quick question for the people who have the F400S on AT&T: Do you guys get LTE Data on your G3's? Mine just came today, and I get great service (surprised I got LTE, was originally just planning on 3G usage) but whenever I access any site that isn't att.com/esupport or att.com/biztech, I get the redirect in the image.

Message says: "We're sorry, but you are attempting this transaction during a restricted time period set by your wireless account owner."

View attachment 2793796

I have no weird account restrictions, and I've got a support ticket in AT&T (should hear back by the 16th), but was hoping to get some advice if any other AT&T F400S G3 owners are getting similar messages.

I'll post back with what AT&T tells me on whats going on.

UPDATE (6/12/2014): I knew I needed to link my new IMEI to my old SIM card (from HTC One). Though I had done the update with AT&T last night, it appears that it took a solid 5-6 hours for that update to apply.

The issue I had run into where it would ask me to "sign in" to the AT&T network, but kept redirecting me has resolved itself.

So for potential Korean G3 buyers on AT&T here in the states, remember to call AT&T and have them update your SIM card info to match up to your new IMEI. I had to deal with 6 awful phone support people, but finally landed on someone who knew what she was talking about when I had a chat session with a technical support agent. (The phone people were ridiculous saying I needed to buy a new data plan, or buy a new phone... ugh ::facepalm:: lol).

But after a solid day of rest and the IMEI update, I cannot be any happier... definitely an investment, but considering I buy phones off-contract every few years, this was a very reasonable buy (got it for $720 on ebay with shipping included)--my guess is that the phones off-contract here will run round the 649-699 price... assuming they charge a premium on LG's new flagship.

But as a side note... This phone is awesome! The screen is one of those things you just gotta see. Resolving pixels is difficult to my eyes, and I haven't done a side-by-side with a 1080p phone yet.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrfriday2010:
I don't have the phone yet; however, I have question for you, does your plan with AT&T includes an LTE service? I'm only asking that because you said that you were planning to use it on 3g only.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daraj:
Did you try a different browser? Also does it happen on all sites?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeythedude:
Hi again :D

Thank you so much for your questions/replies!

mrfriday2010- Yes, I have a 10GB Data/unlimited texts and minutes. LTE coverage where I am at was spotty (we got it on one of their later rollouts). I am guessing I am accessing the AWS bands that would have supported the AT&T/T-Mobile deal... but that fell through.

daraj- Also Yes, the issue occurred on the default browser and chrome.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alwayslearning:
I know you have a 400s, I have a 400L and a LG Gpro2 "S" both of them get LTE voice and Data, some things to think about

do you have correct LTE sim card?

I have had the same issue and I fix it by turning off wifi then back on and it fixes it

for whatever reason the phone seems to have issue going from wifi to data, my GS5 does the same thing
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeythedude:
Everything is all good on my F400S now :). After AT&T updated my IMEI to match the new device, all is up and running (and also after about 6 hours of letting that update take effect in their systems).

Just weird though, its the first time I have had to do that. Back before the days of LTE, I was able to access 3G from my SIM without having to update IMEI info.

Thanks for your input though :).

Also something I noticed about my F400S -- I thought it was interesting that underneath the back cover, towards the top of the phone, it shows F400 S/L. The phone is the S version (SK Telecom), but I am assuming the L version seems to work alright on AT&T as well maybe?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alwayslearning:
mine does too inside at the top, it says S/L, my box says L and my phone - under phone info says L I have found out that L an S have the same bands. My L works fine on LTE for AT&T but I never called them or changed my IMEI number.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeythedude:
I did go contract-free recently... maybe AT&T doesn't like my money haha :p
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] serialtoon:
Where are you guys purchasing you G3 from? Amazon or 28mobile?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeythedude:
I picked mine up on eBay. Got it in about a week from order date.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greyhulk:
For those of you who got it working on AT&T: Did you just pop your SIM in and go, or did you have to manually create an APN?

I have an L model on the way and I was under the impression that I'd have to manually create an AT&T LTE APN in order for it to work properly. I'm currently on an LTE plan and using an LG G2. I swap sims all the time with no issue.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pilz:
Pop in a sim and go, atleast for me it worked like that.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greyhulk:
What model do you have? One of the reviewers were saying that worked for the S model, but not the L or K. That on the L and K model, you would have to create the APN manually.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pilz:
I have the F400S and I had 0 issues getting it to work with ATT. My wife's ATT S5 had more issues and that's a carrier phone.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greyhulk:
Ah, yeah. See, the bloggers were saying that the S works out of the box, but the L and K have to have APNs created manually before they will hit AT&T LTE. I guess I'll find out in a few days.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pilz:
Best of luck, it shouldn't be that hard to set up if you need to do it manually.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greyhulk:
Nah, I do it all the time. I was just curious if that was the experience other L/K users were having. It has been confirmed that all three models work on AT&T's LTE, so I'm not worried.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ziolity:
Hi,

I had an accident and fromat flash from my ifive mini 3gs.

My iFive mini 3GS won't turn on. However it get detected by windows as unknown device. I was trying to install rockchip drivers but they won't install for 64 bit windows 7.

I have backup files.

When trying to turn on holding power button screen is black. Also can't get into recovery mode.

Any solution or idea would be welcome! maybe jtag recovery?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xperia-Ray:
Why are you trying install rockchip drivers when your iFive mini 3GS is an MTK6592 device??

you should install mediatek drivers/

are you sure you have the mini 3GS model ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mobi74:
My driver is right but...

...also my tablet now is recognized like a "unknow device", now I try to send back to the store, I think only the FNF can fix this problem, maybe with a JTAG connection and right software.

Solved (thanks rrileypm), just wait until the battery is empty, after open SP flash toll and push download, then connect the tablet, now wait 1-2 minutes until windows make "ding" for usb device connection, at this point your sp flash tool is working and flashing your tablet, then unplug your tablet and ejoy it.

The lock screen itself didn't have an issue, the active display screen does. Still working to remedy that.

No luck. Uninstalling then reinstalling from the market has actually made active display "inactive" lol. Oh well...like the port otherwise. Seems like significant battery life improvement over 4.4 stock and the 4.4.2 port. Nice job.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nixleong:
Hi all the expert :)

I having some problem with my phone/screen.

Been using this phone for 6 month. Last night my phone will auto went dark. I have to restart it in order ot turn it on. Today after i press the power button to off the screen, it went dark when i try to make it up. I have to use hard reboot by pressing the power button down for long time in order to restart the phone.

After that, I'm able to go into the android. However, if I turn off the screen again, it went dark again.

The problem now is, after few times of trying that (I mean hard restart the phone), now I cannot log into my android system. After the Google Logo and the 4 colour logo, it just went dark.

I try to plugi in my phone with USB to connect it to my PC, but it show nothing.

I try to wipe all the data by using the factory reset when i press down the volume key and power button, after wiping it, it doesn't work.

What should I do now ?

=============================================

When I do factory reset, it will either stuck here, or gone black. here is the picture:

Download the factory images then use the following command: fastboot flash cache.img

If needed flash the whole factory images.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nixleong:
Hi, sorry I'm newbie here, may I know how to do fastboot flash cache.img please? Thanks!!!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Primokorn:
First off, you have to install and set up adb & fastboot on your PC.

Donwload and extract factory images until you find the cache.img file. Put this file into your platform-tools folder (SDK directory).

Open a cmd from this folder and enter the command. Your phone must be into fastboot mode (hold on Vol down + Power) and plug in to your PC.

You should find more details on the sticky threads.

I have unlock the bootloder and able to do all these step, however once after I turn the phone on, passed the Google and 4 colour logo, I stuck at the Language screen, the screen cannot be touch, i can only power volume up and down and press the power button. Something wrong with my phone ?

★Power off your phone.

★Boot it in fastboot by pressing and holding Power Button + Volume Down at the same time.

★Connect your phone to your PC through your USB cable.

★Execute the flash-all.bat script (for Windows) or flash-all.sh(for MAC and LINUX) in the folder where you extracted the factory images.

**!!** For MAC: You'll have to edit the flash-all.sh, and add "./" before every fastboot command.

★Wait for everything to flash.

★After everything finished, select "Recovery" using the volume buttons.

★When a small Android appears, press Power Button + Volume UP.

★Select "Wipe data/factory data reset"

★Reboot. Your phone should be stock.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Primokorn:
So you didn't use fastboot flash cache.img?

BTW after using the factory images the phone reboots itself so it's weird that you reboot manually...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nixleong:
I'm still dont know how to do the fastboot flash cache.img.

Between, I did clear the cache. does it matter to caused my phone bricked ?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Primokorn:
I explained you how to do that:

Download and extract factory images until you find the cache.img file. Put this file into your platform-tools folder (SDK directory).

Open a cmd from this folder and enter the following commands:

fastboot devices (you should see your serial number)

fastboot flash cache.img

Your phone must be into fastboot mode (hold on Vol down + Power) and plug in to your PC.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nixleong:
Thanks for the reply, appreciate it.

Ok I did what you said.

1. I downloaded the 4.4.2 (KOT49H) from: developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#hammerhead

2. I extract the file and copy the "cache.img" and pasted it into C:\Users\NixLeong\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools. So the directory looks like this: tinypic.com/r/2bvcw7/8

3. I shift+ Right Click to open the CMD from the "platform-tools" directory. I typed the command: fastboot flash cache.img

4. This is the error message I got: tinypic.com/r/2ur6ln9/8
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vin4yak:
The correct command for flashing cache is..

fastboot flash cache cache.img

Try this and report back.

---------- Post added at 08:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:40 PM ----------

If the problem still persists, flash all the .img files manually like this:

Go to bootloader and fire these commands via cmd opened from the fastboot folder. (All .img files needs to be in the folder as well!)

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img (File name may be different)
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio.img (File name may be different)
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img (This will wipe the entire /sdcard)
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase cache

After following this, reboot your phone to the stock recovery and perform a factory reset and finally reboot! Everything should hopefully be fixed by now. If the problem still persists, RMA it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nixleong:
Thanks, the command works, I followed every step till last. When I try to do the factory reset, I saw this error message:

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vin4yak:
This means that the /cache partition is messed up.. Head over to the stock recovery again and format cache a couple of times and I'm sure the messages will go away. (No need to factory reset again)

Ignore those messages if all the .img files got flashed properly.. It happens when you use the "fastboot -w update" to flash the zip.. That's why I suggested you to flash every .img file individually.

Anyways, even after flashing the factory images and factory resetting the phone, your phone freezes after boot, it might be a hardware issue.

Are there any risks attached to using covers with magnets in them?

Just bought a cheap knock of of the origami case , and noticed two small but powerful magnets. Haven't noticed anything yet ( had it a few days) pen accuracy is still great.

On the other hand I'd rather not find out in a few days that I have managed to do permanent damage to the note's digitizer or something to that effect?

Heard stories regarding other cases with magnets and potential long term risks.

Anyone?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Accessories] luvmygadgetz:
Even the official Samsung case has strong magnets. I've been reading the forums since December and nobody has reported long term damage as a result of a cheap case. If yours has an issue, you'll notice it fairly soon (screen refusing to sleep, auto brightness issues, areas of the screen that are difficult to write on etc.) First thing to try when something goes wonky is remove the case and see if it makes a difference. If you don't notice anything amiss, pat yourself on the back for finding a cheap case that works just as well as an expensive one.
