[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtd930:
from my understanding, Verizon Galaxy s5 comes factory unlocked as well as all other verizon LTE phones, although, my t mobile SIM is not working for the phone, i cannot contact verizon as it is on the blacklist for them, i tested with AT&T SIM and the phone does work for GSM so why doesnt it work for my t mobile sim? is it a faulty SIM? i have contacted samsung and t mobile about this and they were no help
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bsweetness:
There's now a IMEI blacklist that of the major U.S. carriers all share (Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, as well as some regional carriers). That means blacklisted Verizon phones may not work on T-Mobile or AT&T (in the past, it only meant they wouldn't work on Verizon). Perhaps AT&T hasn't updated their system with the most recent info to include the phone you have while T-Mobile has.

There's always a chance that it's something else, but I have no problems with my S5 (which isn't blacklisted anywhere) on T-Mobile's network with an active T-Mobile SIM.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yusef Kifah:
Hi guys! I really really need help for this one! :crying:

I rooted my S2 which is running on android 4.1.2... I used odin and im using the Jeboo kernel..

I got the CWM recovery installed too...

I rooted it for the reason to unlock my sim.. which it worked...

It was working fine! :cyclops:

then, heres what happened

There was an update for the binary super su... I pressed okay...

It rebooted and sent me to the boot screen and it was stuck...

I took out the battery and put it back in but it didnt start...

I tried to open recovery mode (Power + Home + volume up) but it didnt work... Only the download (Power + Home + volume down) works... :eek:

I really need to use my phone for important purposes and i would really need your help!!!

Im a newbie in rooting so i am blur and i am panicking like mad!

Please Help!! Thx :crying: :crying: :crying:

ps: I think i should install the stock rom...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaikat:
in download mode, try flashing the rooted kernel again. see what happens
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akshayhackman:
Firstly Download exact galaxy S2 stock 4.1 Rom & Follow this link >> http://liquidandroid.com/flash-stock-jellybean-4-1-2-samsung-galaxy-s2-shv-e110s/ .... this is method work 100% i was also tryed ....plzz hit Thanx
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yusef Kifah:
I did but it doesnt work... Odin says pass but phone still cant start... I'm downloading the stock rom now...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yusef Kifah:
Here is what i think i should do... Should i do this? :crying:

I will flash the stock 4.1.2 rom using Odin..

Then i will do a factory reset...

Get everything to work normally, then i will root it using Odin and install the Jeboo kernel like what i did...

Yes or No?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaikat:
no harm in trying again. just keep the stock rom within reach, you never know you might need it again.

also you might want to download the kernel again, just in case there was something wrong with the first download. check the file's md5 if its available.

if it happens again you might want to try another kernel. maybe you're rom/phone don't like Jeboo
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yusef Kifah:
I doubt the problem is because of the kernel... it was because i installed some new binary update for Super SU... It rebooted my phone and bam... Bricked... :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaikat:
your phone is not bricked. As long as you can go into download mode you'll be fine.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yusef Kifah:
Then? What is it now? Soft bricked? :( Has this happened before?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaikat:
your case is described simply as "being stuck on boot". being bricked is a different matter.

yes it happens all the time, try to search the forum for "stuck on boot" just to get an idea of how often this happens.

just flash the stock, flash the rooted kernel, and this time, try one of the apps on play store that have the option to update the Su binary. maybe the update mechanism you tried is old or something, i don't know why this happened to you.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yusef Kifah:
Just searched... Its a Nand RW corruption or something?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaikat:
i don't know. but in most cases we (users) don't need to know this technical stuff. just try to find a way around it. flash again, flash another kernel if it happens again, try another way to update the su binary... etc.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yusef Kifah:
Will try thanks... :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Just recover firmware by ODIN, then flash right recovery and download this zip: http://download.clockworkmod.com/superuser/superuser.zip and you are done. You can also try to flash this zip immediately, maybe it'll work!

What procedure did you follow? I installed it from the play store, and the notification appears. I'm talking about the Defy+ on CM11.

This is what the notification says - "Trebuchet is currently your default launcher. To try the Google Now Launcher, clear defaults in settings and press the home button". Only problem is that no default is set, so there is no way to try the launcher:confused:.

[T-Mobile LG G3] webdevoman:
Hello,

I currently have a nexus 4 and an using the contract free $30 a month prepaid plan.

I'm planning on buying the lg g3 outright from T-Mobile.

If I buy this way I should just be able to use my current Sim card. Right?

Also, does anyone know what type of warranty is offered when buying this way?

Thanks
[T-Mobile LG G3] wideasleep1:
This is what I did. Pricey but this phone was worth it. Warranty is same.

Sent from my amazing LGG3!
[T-Mobile LG G3] webdevoman:
The warranty is the same as what? My nexus had a one year warranty and Google would even replace it for a year of needed.

The LG has the same? If so that would be awesome.
[T-Mobile LG G3] 816jared:
1 year manufacturer warranty is pretty much standard at this point, but just remember, you will be dealing directly with LG. I'd guess the turnaround time to be something like 2 weeks.

also, it might not be a bad idea to hold off and see what the next uncarrier announcement is. I foresee some major overhauls to the individual plans coming in the near future. depending on what happens, might be better value to go postpaid and get JUMP! on there...
[T-Mobile LG G3] webdevoman:
Just wondering, does this come with 2 batteries? I've seen other countries with some accessories included.
[T-Mobile LG G3] joshnichols189:
It does not.
[T-Mobile LG G3] webdevoman:
That really sucks. Most other countries include that at the same price.

Do we at least get the headphones?
[T-Mobile LG G3] bigkevbosky:
No headphones either. Phone + battery + charger - that's it.
[T-Mobile LG G3] _-..zKiLLA..-_:
This is a question which should be put in the q&a section and also you could call tmobile and they wouldve answered both those questions on the spot lol
[T-Mobile LG G3] webdevoman:
Everyone is a mod I guess..

I'm here looking for feedback on purchasing this phone through T-Mobile without contract. I am looking for a discussion and not just to ask a couple questions but thanks for your feedback.
[T-Mobile LG G3] webdevoman:
This almost makes me consider buying elsewhere by the unlocked boot loader is tough to give up.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Richieboy67:
I have a nexus 4 on the same plan. I know why you got confused.

If you log into T-Mobile and then try to shop if you are on the prepaid plan it will not even show the lg g3.

I think you should just be able to put the Sim in and then log into T-Mobile and switch the phone in your account.
[T-Mobile LG G3] DroidApprentice:
I did this, same plan, no issues. Had to buy it at elevated price at a store however. Bought my own separate insurance policy too since no Jump with TMO.
[T-Mobile LG G3] JustLok:
I came from Sprint to Tmo back in late July of this year. I purchased two G3's straight from Tmo through Corporate Telesales. I did NOT purchase any JUMP, EIP or Insurance with TMo, phones were purchased in full, outright.

I asked the CSR about the return policy and all on it. She told me that if there are any manufacturer defects or problems with the phones one year from the date of purchase, I can just call up TMo and they'll overnight me a replacement phone and to return the G3 back to them in the same box and they take care of it with LG and Asurion.

I made sure to verify that over the phone with her and to remind her that I do not have, nor ever will, the JUMP, EIP or any insurance plan with them. She said it doesn't matter, TMo still takes care of any LG defects or problems due to the workmanship, but NOT drops, spills, water damage or any of that other stuff that insurance would cover, just manufacturer defects.

Now that's something that Sprint NEVER did, EVER.

Of course, when I opened up my account, I was also told I could have up to 10 voice lines and 5 data/tablet plans (total of 15 lines) on my new account, the first that she saw that. But, that's because Tmo was JUST starting their new family plan expansion.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Richieboy67:
Great info. Thanks
[T-Mobile LG G3] chivamex10:
I work for TMOB

Warranty process for Prepaid is a bit different from PostPaid.

With prepaid you must ship the phone first. We provide you with the shipping label. Turn around time depends on inventory of the device. If the device is in stock it will take 5-7 business days.

Postpaid gives you the benefit of them shipping you the replacement device FIRST. Without insurance on your account they will bill you $20 for overnight shipping.
[T-Mobile LG G3] 816jared:
probably not a good idea to out yourself. they've been calling people out on tmonews, especially when the information is incorrect.

how does tmob have any information on when/where the device was purchased/warranty info? it 100% is not in quickview so I really have no idea what you are talking about.

I have NEVER heard of a corporate tmob store even wasting time on what would be a warranty exchange for a prepaid device, the answer is usually always "contact the manufacturer"
[T-Mobile LG G3] chivamex10:
Hey I'm just here to help. I've done it before. I agree that its probably better to deal with the manufacture themselves but the exchange option is there under device support. If it doesn't recognize the IMEI you can type it in yourself.

You'd be surprised how much prepaid we do in my area. Lately with the new promos we've been migrating them to post paid...
[T-Mobile LG G3] Richieboy67:
I hope it is ok to ask a related question here. I did not ant to start a new thread because the question relates to this topic.

How can I buy the Lg G3 from Tmobile outright? On the site there is no option to buy it without a plan. I already have this same plan as mentioned in this thread($30 Pre Pay)--I just want the phone.

Thanks,

Rich
[T-Mobile LG G3] Richieboy67:
Apparently the unlocked lg g3 cannot be bought through T-Mobile without one of their plans.

I'm hoping I can still buy one in the store.. Does anyone know if this can be done?

Thanks
[T-Mobile LG G3] wideasleep1:
Yes. Go into store...get G3..tell them you are prepaid and will swap sim yourself. They may charge 30-35 activation fee, and manager said no phone will leave their store without that fee (likely their only profit...stores are independent franchises and rely on fees and upsells) and sales tax. Nothing like TMO wifi calling and warranty, so totally worth it.

Sent from my amazing LGG3!
[T-Mobile LG G3] Richieboy67:
Dam, with taxes and everything the price will end up being around $670 or so... ouch.

still much less than the note or the m8 though.
[T-Mobile LG G3] DroidApprentice:
I was not charged a SIM or activation fee and neither should you be if you're prepaid and have a SIM; don't let them hoodwink you. Still will end up saving hundreds over a comparable postpaid plan on other carriers if I use the phone for 2 years.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Richieboy67:
For sure. I was checking the simple plan and it is a big payment.

I'm good with the low minutes because I can usually get away with issuing WiFi calling or use SMS.

Hopefully I'll have the money next week.

I'll be selling a mint nexus 4 with an a hybrid Acase right after I get the g3. :) I'm looking forward to a bigger screen among other things.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Richieboy67:
I just thought of something.. I will have LTE instead of hspa+..

Will be an awesome upgrade.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Ark1406:
If you rely on wifi calling, get the T-Mobile version. But if you don't, I'd say get the unlocked. Think it's the same price, but comes with headphones (I think they're Bluetooth) and a wireless charger. Better deal imo
[T-Mobile LG G3] Richieboy67:
I will make big use of WiFi calling but I was looking at the international unlocked versions and most come with no warranty.

They come with premium headphones, 2 batteries and some kind of a back cover that holds the extra battery I believe. I really wish tmob included that stuff!
[T-Mobile LG G3] JustLok:
Also, only the T-Mobile variant works on Tmo's LTE network, you would only get 3G with the international variant. Something else to think about.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Richieboy67:
Wow, well I have no choice than. I can't get by without lte. Ever since I added it on my n4 I can't go back. :D
[T-Mobile LG G3] JustLok:
Yeah, I know, I researched about the G3 variants for use on T-Mobile's network and found out that only the D851 has the LTE bands for their network while the rest would only get 3G networks.

Right now, LG/T-Mobile do have a promotion where they're giving away an extra spare battery and charger if you buy the LG G3, as I saw in this forum section, if you need a little prodding as well.
[T-Mobile LG G3] siraltus:
D851 (T-Mobile) is bootloader-unlocked, all the other versions are not, so no custom ROMs on the non-T-Mobile variants.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Richieboy67:
I just got off the phone with my local T-Mobile.

He told me that it would be $629 unless I switched to some $35 plan. He asked me what plan I had and told me this one wasn't qualified for the lower $698 plan.

Also, it no headphones, extra battery or anything.

High price but still lower than the 16 gig iPhone. :D

---------- Post added at 07:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:29 PM ----------

Oh I forgot to ask him about warranty. I know it has a year but that means sending it in or can I just drive to the T-Mobile store and exchange or what ever?
[T-Mobile LG G3] Richieboy67:
I just got home an hour ago from the Tmobile store. I bought the Charcoal color 32 gig lg g3. it cost me a total of about $670! That is with state tax though and the $30 fee they snagged me for saying unless I bought a plan I could not get the discount listing price which is $598.

I learned a couple other things some may not know so I am going to mention them though they are not related to the original topic.

#1 - The phone is not unlocked until at least 45 days of using Tmobile.

#2 - If the phone malfunctions in the next 14 days they will replace it but if I want to return it i have to pay a $50 restocking fee.

So far I am loving the phone and the wifi calling is amazing!! It will use wifi by default when ever I am covered by wifi! Finally I will not be limited to my 100 minutes! I am also amazed at the camera! very sharp pics. I am still getting used to the lg overlay though and I will be rooting soon to remove some of the extra garbage.

Only an hour into the phone the and loving it so far!the Nexus 4 has served me well for the last 2 years but this is a giant upgrade.

:good:
[T-Mobile LG G3] DroidApprentice:
ANY use of wifi calling on a prepaid plan counts against your minutes. However with things like Vonage and Hangouts which now integrates calling, you may never run out of talk time again since they're free for any call in North America. Vonage even displays your regular number to the other caller.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Richieboy67:
Are you serious? What is the reason for WiFi calling if it uses minutes? I am so dissappointed. Why does it matter that I have a prepay plan?

I've used Vonage and others but they are no good of I cannot use my number.

So tmob takes my minutes but none of their bandwidth is being used. Topical.
[T-Mobile LG G3] DroidApprentice:
Wifi calling is to help make up for less good reception indoors. It's always been the case that it uses minutes.
[T-Mobile LG G3] wideasleep1:
Hangouts calling solves this issue.

Sent from my amazing LGG3!
[T-Mobile LG G3] Richieboy67:
That makes sense. I will have to try one of the apps again I guess.

---------- Post added at 06:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:03 AM ----------

I'm sure it will work but can I use my own number for calling and receiving?
[T-Mobile LG G3] jremenak:
Just thought I'd share my experience here, since there are a lot of different stories floating around.

1) Pricing: I went into a TMobile store yesterday and picked up a D851 for $598.00, plus tax. I do not have a TMobile account. I have a SIM from the giveaway that TMobile was doing, and I told the manager that I was going to activate the $30 plan online - no questions asked, no extra fee. They were pretty busy at the time, so maybe he just figured he'd get me out the door and move on to the next customer.

2) Network compatibility: When I got home, I used the "LG G3 Unlock" app on the play store to SIM unlock the phone. 10 minutes and $5 later, I had the phone working on AT&T. LTE works fine; the D851 comes equipped for band 17, which is what AT&T uses in most areas.

3) Accessories: There is currently a promo from LG that offers new purchasers of the G3 a replacement battery and a charging cradle for free. You need to take a picture of your box and your receipt and submit it on their website.

I'm a happy camper. :)
[T-Mobile LG G3] Richieboy67:
Thanks for posting that promo! I would love a spare battery. :D

I tried to get out of the extra cost but set this store they were saying the regular price was discount. Oh well..

I'm not worried about switching carriers anytime plus like you said..I can use the app.
[T-Mobile LG G3] calebcabob:
Hey, nice post! Thanks a lot:good:

I wonder if I do what you did, big id be able to use verizon… probably not. Cuzza CDMA right?
[T-Mobile LG G3] bkeaver:
At&t variant also gets T-Mobile LTE just an fyi
[T-Mobile LG G3] jremenak:
No, it doesn't look like it. The TMobile variant does not offer a CDMA radio. However: there are some rumors out there that indicate that the US CDMA G3's (from Sprint and Verizon) also support GSM. Might be something to look into. ;)

---------- Post added at 02:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:03 PM ----------

Yes, it does. But the AT&T version does not have an unlocked bootloader (yet), and it does not support Qi wireless charging.

AT&T went with PMA charging instead, because they do things like that. There are a ton of Qi accessories out there, but right now the only PMA stuff is either Duracell branded or the new Starbucks mats.

Since for either model you'll need a new back plate to get the wireless charging, you might be able to swap the back covers to change the charging style. That's just a speculation, though. My technical expertise doesn't go that far.
[T-Mobile LG G3] bkeaver:
I know all this. I have both variants. The post i quoted wasnt about all that. The post i quoted stated that only the T-Mobile variant was able to get LTE on T-Mobile network. I was simply pointing out that AT&T also gets LTE on T-Mobile network.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Richieboy67:
Anyone using Vonage through 4g on this plan?
[T-Mobile LG G3] DroidApprentice:
Yep, best thing about it as opposed to other VOIP apps is it displays my caller ID like it's a regular call to the other person. However I think the Google Hangouts dialer has better sound quality.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Richieboy67:
Yeah, that is why I use it. Now if only I could route my incoming calls through it.

I haven't tried hangouts dialer yet.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Richieboy67:
Anyone have an issue with the voicemail alert still showing up for many hours after a voicemail is deleted with this plan?
[T-Mobile LG G3] arcanexvi:
Hangouts dialer works very well. I use it as my business line.

Hello,

I'm currently writing a small controller app a for game. Whilst looking around for information regarding analog sticks, I was shown a particular application with a fantastic joystick:

The app is called "AndroG Controller", which is available on Google Play. Could someone perhaps explain how much work this would require? If you try the app, you can see that it simulates a 3D joystick, so I imagine it involves some form of animation.
