[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] datawrhsdoc:
Well, the USB port falling out/in is pretty common problem that is covered under warranty (as long as you haven't "dropped" the device).

Post warranty replacement is $100, still a pretty good deal. If you clobber the device when you take it apart, I suspect you may be out of luck on the $100 out of warranty replacement.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] clemsyn:
I suggest Pocketpc Techs..costs 60 dollars to fix it. If not then just get a seperate battery charger and bluetooth usb to sync. Goodluck!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] canadianboi:
Thanks

Thanks everyone for getting back to me. Ever since the MDA broke, life has been a mess. Schedules are all messed up and I forget my appointments, hence the late reply to your comments. Clems, you said there is an external battery charger that can be purchased? Where can I find this charger? I will look up the procedures for sync the MDA with bluetooth.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] d0ug:
Even if you decide to just use an external charger and bluetooth sync, you should try to remove that loose usb plug. If its rattling around in there loose, who knows what components or solder pads it might touch and short out. You might endup totally killing your phone

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tetakpatak:
Not really, but if it works all is fine. Did you make also backup of your EFS folder? Orange is crap provider, you should get the network unlock code from them. There are also pay services in internet that can provide you the code for some $25

I have given once my S8000 to Orange to unlock it, it took them one month to understand that Simlock isn't same like Network lock, and it took another six weeks since sending it to their service to unlock it. Total amateurs.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] exitpr0gram:
I need to get my Data and calls working with this Verizon S5.

I bought it at an authorized T-MOBILE dealer without realizing it was a Verizon model.

They unlocked it but obviously didn't do it right. The Verizon Internet APN is still showing but cannot remove and cannot delete. Data and calls do not work when adding T-Mobile APN info, either. I have a constant message along the top saying "This SIM card is from an unknown source". I get a similar message when trying to make phone calls. Sometimes they will go through but only intermittently.

I want to know.....

Can I put a T-Mobile ROM on my SM-G900V without bricking it and get Data and calling back? Has this been successfully done before? Links? Any idea on how to get the Verizon S5 working properly on the T-Mobile network at all?

The guys at the store are idiots, will not help, screwed me over saying i signed some kind of doc agreeing to a 72 hour return policy, not a 14-day return policy... My fault for not reading the fine print, yes... But their intentions were to screw people over from the beginning. Makes me want to just "RAAAAAAAWWR"

********EDIT**********

I did find a thread in the QnA by searching for "Unlock" and he has successfully put a t-mobile ROM on it, so why does his data work and mine doesn't ??? Any ideas?? I cannot completely test the theory at the moment because i'm at work but i am posting this in case anyone knows why the data would not work. I'm in the process of contacting Verizon directly to see if they have anything of use, but i doubt it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] TheArtiszan:
That sounds like your device isn't actually unlocked.

Just flashing a different carrier firmware don't unlock the phone from my understanding.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] maxyoda:
Verizon s5 (and s4) are carrier unlocked. I use both on T-Mobile with no issues

I have done this with 2 iPhone 5s's, an i545 Verizon S4 (which I loved), a N900V Verizon Galaxy Note 3 and now on an SM-G900V Verizon S5. All are carrier unlocked out of the box and work with T-Mobile. There are a few caveats.

For the android devices, here is what you can do without obtaining root:

1. if you remove your Verizon SIM and put in the T-Mobile SIM calls should work without any change except you need to be in global mode. In settings, change settings/connections/more networks/mobile networks/network mode/ to global.

2. To get data working, go to settings/connections/more networks/mobile networks/access point names and edit the T-Mobile settings. The name does not matter, but the APN should be fast.t-mobile.com

3. To get MMS you have to change a few other settings (but leave all others unchanged):

MMSC should be http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc

MCC should be 310

MNC should be 260

APN Type should be default,mms/supl,dun

4. You can't remove the "SIM is from an unknown source" message without root. I believe you can stop the message by holding the notification until you find the app info, and then force stop it. But it will return after any reboot.

If you are willing to root your phone (I used Towelroot), in addition to the above you can:

5. Remove the message about the SIM by freezing "Setup Wizard 1.0" using Titanium Backup

6. Using the app "Advanced Signal Status" you can set your phone to LTE/GSM only so it no longer looks for CDMA service

Summary: Changing Verizon S4, Note 3 and S5 phones (as well as the iPhones) to T-Mobile service is not difficult. I switched carriers completely for my entire 5 line contract without changing phones. I now have unlimited data on 4 of the 5 phones (one user does not need much), and my monthly bill is half of my old Verizon service. Yes - HALF.

Here is a Guide I found that may be exactly what your looking for.

It works, but may loose a bit of benefits when it comes to Network, since the Verizon doesn't have all T-Mobile bands, but close enough.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ddarvish:
i will verify everything he said above as true as i have done the same. i can also verify that you flash a tmobile rom (be sure not to flash any baseband/modem or any other partition) and you can get VoLTE to work etc... The only thing missing is the 2100 MHz radio which means HSDPA+ will not work in all areas but that is a hardware limitation.

Notes: It says it's for the Note 3, but it does work on the Galaxy S5. You will need to use the stock ROM with the stock dialer for this to work.

I was wondering, can you point me in the right direction to a good T-Mobile ROM to try out, that you know will work properly on the 900V? It will have to work on the stock NE9 or NI2 firmware. I just don't have a whole lot of time to test between studying and taking all of these MIT online courses. I can tell you that it really sucks having a locked bootloader though Lol.

[Verizon LG G3] improvius:
Just in case anyone missed this, there is currently an LG promotion going on for a free extra battery and charger. You're eligible if you bought/buy your G3 between 9/8 and 10/6. I picked mine up a couple of weeks ago and didn't even know about the promotion until I saw it mentioned in another forum.
[Verizon LG G3] spotmark:
Yes, there are currently two threads discussing this, on the accessories board, and LG is actually honoring the promo for people who purchased before the start date.
[Verizon LG G3] improvius:
Oops, sorry for the duplicate thread. I pretty much never check the accessories boards.
[Verizon LG G3] annoyingduck:
I got denied mine (i got the phone the first week). There are confirmed users getting it before the promo started? Thier email was very specific saying they will not honor unless it's within the promo period.
[Verizon LG G3] IamPro:
http://www.reddit.com/r/LGG3/comments/2g3lpn/free_battery_and_charger_promo_available_to_early/
[Verizon LG G3] spotmark:
They honored the promo for me and my wife. We bought her G3 in July, and mine in August.
[Verizon LG G3] killswitch23456:
They just honored the promo for me, and I got it on release day.

All I did was just sent them an email referring to the reddit thread.
[Verizon LG G3] monkeypunch35:
Same here. Should ship in the next 4 weeks according to the email.
[Verizon LG G3] annoyingduck:
I got approved! Thanks guys
[Verizon LG G3] THEbigSWEEN:
So I'm glad this was posted because I didn't check the accessories thread either. I just sent my email and laid on the guilt about "punishing early adopters who didn't need incentive to buy the device" and signed it "potential loyal lg customer." :fingers-crossed: Let's see how this goes! I was looking at extra batteries anyway so this would be AWESOME! Thanks guys for the heads up!!
[Verizon LG G3] Rodeojones:
I don't know that laying on the guilt was necessary, but glad it worked for you. I just simply emailed them stating when I purchased it and how it was prior to the promo (for me only by a couple days) and asked if I could still qualify - which they answered with a yes. Now I'm just hoping it actually arrives before my family and I go on vacation to Disney at the end of this month. The extra battery will come in handy.
[Verizon LG G3] idkwhothatis123:
I got declined. Fail.
[Verizon LG G3] spotmark:
That's odd. Did you provide them with the requested info?
[Verizon LG G3] idkwhothatis123:
Sure did. Told me I didn't purchase in the promo period.
[Verizon LG G3] spotmark:
Did you email them first, and ask that they honor the promo, or did you just fill out the promo?
[Verizon LG G3] THEbigSWEEN:
I hadn't gotten a reply when I posted, but they emailed me back at 10:35 this morning and are extending the offer! WOO HOO!! Thanks again everyone for the links and info on this. It seemed like most people in the reddit discussion mentioned in one way or another about not thinking it was fair or something along those lines so I decided better safe than sorry and would follow suit, especially since I bought on release day so was way out of the promo range. Hopefully yours arrives before your vacation!!

If you just filled out the info (which I almost did, but glad I didn't) I would email their support. I provided the link to the reddit discussion and told them I could provide proof of purchase (receipt and IMEI) I emailed them last night right before my previous post (I think about 1am?) and received their reply this morning at 10:35. If you did email them first, I would try again from a different email account. Someone on reddit mentioned getting declined so it might depend on the service rep who gets your email as well.
[Verizon LG G3] ToF_Itachi:
See i applied for that but they denied me so now im trying to reapply because i just found my stupid receipt and just figured out i forgot to add both of those to one picture

[Verizon LG G3] IamPro:
you received the battery itself or the email?
[Verizon LG G3] Chilidog:
Ya has anyone actually got the battery and charger yet?
[Verizon LG G3] xgman:
Why would it have to be both on one picture? I just sent a picture and a pdf of the receipt and the exel file separately. They didn't ask for it to be one one pic.
[Verizon LG G3] ToF_Itachi:
Idk they asked me for one picture of the box and my receipt but i redid my application and corrected my mistakes and they are now sending it off! However its gonna be a few weeks before the mail it off so
[Verizon LG G3] FPDafish:
Thanks for posting about this. I just got my reply that they'll contact me with an updated status of my submission. I scanned my receipt as a pdf, opened it in MS word and attached the pic they wanted, then converted back to a pdf and submitted it as a 2 page pdf. Probably easier ways to do it, but that's how I did it. Thanks again to the op for making us all aware of this promo.

Just to clarify, I bought my G3 on 7/15, well before the promo date. I sent an email using the one posted on reddit as guidance, but made a bunch of changes to make it my own. LG said they're gonna extend the offer to me. Now just waiting for status of my submission. Good luck to all of us.

Congratulations! Your submission for the Free LG G3 Battery and Battery Charging Cradle Promotion has been successfully validated.

Please be on the lookout for a shipping confirmation email* letting you know that your battery and cradle are on their way.

:good:Thanks again to the op and the one who pointed out the reddit post about submitting even if purchased prior to promo date. :good:
[Verizon LG G3] :
Confirmation email

I bought my G3 from Amazon on August 21st and they approved me as well.

After sending them an email with the reddit page link included they said I may qualify for the promo. I just filled out the Excel template(smooched a little in a comment praising the G3 over the weak S5), copied my box label and pasted it on my Amazon invoice, scanned it and emailed it back to them. It took about 3 days for approval, but they told me it is on its way.

Thanks for the heads up XDA peeps! :good:
[Verizon LG G3] azoller1:
No approval yet, it's been 6 days, hmmmm
[Verizon LG G3] LaTropa64:
Filled out the application a month ago. I got an approval e-mail a week later that states "Please note that the package will be shipped out 4-6 weeks from submission."

So I'm expecting the battery to show up anytime between now and 2 weeks from now.

We'll see. I've heard of lots of approvals but I haven't seen a single person post yet that they've actually received the extra battery.

Has anybody got email saying it has shipped our has anybody actually received theirs? Thanks
[Verizon LG G3] FPDafish:
I think we just gotta sit chill for a bit as far as when we receive them from when we get approval. Usually takes 8 weeks with rebates and stuff. Prolly the same in this instance. I think the ones that got/get the approval will get the promo stuff. Just a matter of time.

Looks good. The dock desn't fit my phone with a case but whatever
[Verizon LG G3] LaTropa64:
I got mine also. The dock is pretty much worthless as it doesn't charge the phone. I would have much rather had a charging cradle for the battery that plugs directly into the wall like the ones you get with Anker and a bunch of the other 3rd party battery makers. They are more compact and don't use up a USB charger.

[IMG="LG G3 extra battery dock charging battery"]http://i.imgur.com/CheLd6I.png[/IMG]

Maybe I'll order one of those 3rd-party batteries that comes with one just for the wall charger. I hear the 3rd party battery sucks but maybe the chargers are decent.
[Verizon LG G3] sebastianraven:
I disagree. Mine came in on Friday and I'm happy as a clam. I already can pop in the new battery at night when I got to the gym and don't need to worry about it until the morning. I throw my fresh battery on and go through the day again. My phone hasn't touched a charger in 3 days.
