entitled much? seriously the guys on the other end are limited to the tools and resources they have on hand. there's a high probability that they had not been asked to enable international roaming on this device (or at least the people who were part of this call) and they attempted to make do with what was available.

so they tried, they thought they had it working and it didn't. it sounds to me like the second go-around with the "impossible" conversation was worse than the first. at least they tried. i'm betting the second rep didn't even bother.

your wife did the right thing and in most cases, she would have had to do this with any other carrier anyway.
[Nexus 6P General] TheDave1022:
I would always opt to pick up a local sim card (language may be an issue, but they should activate it for you). When I went to Italy, I just got a local SIM, which is much cheaper, easier and you can get data with the plan.
[Nexus 6P General] chaco81:
if you had team mobile this wouldnt be an issue

In September i went to Spain, France and UK and worked just as here in states... not single problem.... as a matter of fact, i even got texts from TMo when crossing borders saying welcome to "X" country.

The fact he had this issues, clearly shows that the VZW wasnt willing to remediate the immediate issue this customer had while away. People tell u to pick a local sim card, but that is simply not the best option nowadays. If u get one at local airport is wayyyyyy too expensive. If you are there already, how can you get proper information on where to go get one besides there. Waste of time, money and resources.

Its like currency exchange.. people tell you to get it done locally, WRONG, it averages 30% fee on top of the current rate.

Fact remains, customer was proactive, was traveling on expectations that no issues should arise, and when the issue did presented itself, no real solution was provided. Switch to TMo or some other carrier.

[Nexus 6P General] bartolo5:
Local SIMs are overrated. In some countries the red tape to get a local SIM is not trivial and can be a big hassle. You also have to figure out what the best deals are, stores to go and all that. Also, if you are in the country for just a couple of days it's just too much work. The way to go is crearly that your home carrier offered reasonable roaming charges, which is starting to happen.

I've used Project Fi while roaming internationally with the 6P and it's amazing to do country hopping without even thinking about this stuff. You just turn your phone wherever you are, and it works.
[Nexus 6P General] Citizen_Snips:
I left Verizon due to the horrible customer service. I'm a person, not a rock in your boot that you step on all day long. It's like pulling teeth with them.

Every call is a struggle. They're literally the Comcast of the mobile phone world. I dreaded having to call big red. Like you have to mentally prepare yourself for whatever's about to happen.

Now I'm with T-Mobile and they have great customer service. I just have 1 dead spot on the way to work. Front start to finish I'm without service for about 8 seconds flat. Besides that? No real difference. Besides the lower bill, and all the fun stuff that T-Mobile does for customers now.
[Nexus 6P General] joderme:
Exactly. The UK is great and so is Japan. I was shocked at the 4G data speeds in the UK on EE. Sim cost like $20-$30 for 3gb of data and fast data at that. We get ripped a new one on cell service here. I think Canada gets ripped even more.

Project Fi or T-mobile look nice for international, however, I strongly disagree with your statement that Local SIMs are overrated. IIRC speeds are capped at 256kbps which is fine for e-mail and light browsing but that is slooooowww.

I have gotten local SIMs in Argentina, Spain, Japan, and the UK in the recent past and I am so happy I did. Speeds were fantastic and it was cheaper if not the same price as Fi would have been.

The only upsides to Fi are if you are country hopping and/or only overseas for a day or so.

Doing research on who is the best carrier for the price in X country takes a minute or two.

EE speedtest in the UK attached.
[Nexus 6P General] RHChan84:
But I do wish it was supposed for VZW and the 6P since I do quick trips like Mexico where I'm not going to venture off go look for a SIM for two days. And it's a company meeting so I will be busy those days.
[Nexus 6P General] bartolo5:
Don't get me wrong, I go the local SIM route often, but only if I'm going to stay more than 5 days in a place. I do country hopping often, 2-3 days and moving on, and it's just not worth the hassle for me. 256kbps is slow indeed, but better than nothing. The verizon deal of $10/day and use your data looks good to me in those scenarios where you are just going to be a few days in a country although their country list at the moment is fairly limited.
[General Questions and Answers] juanconnor:
I am wondering how one would install CWM or TWRP to install Xposed Framework or maybe even Cyanogenmod on the LG Sunset (L33L). I tried the older Xposed APK which wasn't compatible with this phone. It reads "Xposed is not (yet) compatible with Android SDK version 21 or you processor architechture (armeabi-v7a)". This is what led me to learn that I needed version 3.0 which (from what i read) can only be installed via flash.
[General Questions and Answers] JohnnyX74:
Help me please

My new LG Sunset deleted all the files for /system/app ? could you send them to me somehow? My phone is useless without those files

There is no way to do this at this time. Likely never. Wait for Xposed to update and stuff.

[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ben Ling:
there is no T-Mobile version of the Xperia Z5 Premium
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blakkheartt12:
I have the Z5 Premium Dual. From all the tech specs I read, it's the only one that has the AWS bands on both the LTE and 3G/3.5G (Umts) frequency. If you don't care about the Umts band then you can get any Z5 Premium variant. The model I specifically have is E6883.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jordy787:
Ohh okay thanks ! I'll probably get the other model , how do you like z5 premium? Is the back and front camera good ,and also the battery life ? I am debating if I should get a 6s plus since I like iphones front cameras (I snap chat alot) or a z5premium or even maybe a 6p...

I heard the z6 line will be out soon so not sure if I should wait
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jordy787:
I know I ment what model is it that works best on t-mobile us LTE
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blakkheartt12:
The back camera is great and the front camera is fine. I rarely use the front camera on any of my phones. Battery life is okay. I get about 3-5 hours out of it. Keep in mind I normally have the brightness up pretty high (75 %- 80%) and I am a super heavy user. I am constantly steaming music/videos, and I tether it to my surface pro 4 pretty much all day since my job does not provide wifi access to us. So you figure 8 - 10 hours of tethering and constantly streaming 3 - 5 hours is not bad. For a light to moderate user, I can definitely see it lasting a whole day without needing to charge.

[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MCFX2:
Background: I have the XT1064 (unlocked, single sim), and I actually just bought this phone. I ordered it because I have a droid Turbo that I don't want to risk custom ROMs on, so I figured this $100 device would be good to play with. I first unlocked the bootloader, courtesy of motorola, and then I flashed custom recovery (TWRP). A bit of tinkering later and I discover I can't get the recovery to stick. "oh well, I can plug in my phone and type a command on boot no problem." Next, I tried flashing the latest release of CM12.1 for my phone (titan) and I get an error. I search around trying to fix the error, and everyone says "use the latest nightly (CM13)" and "factory reset your phone via twrp" so that's what I do. Next, after waiting for my phone to start up, I get everything rolling so I can copy my new image over.

Problem: I find that access is denied to "sdcard/download" so I try other folders in sdcard. None are allowed for adb.

Attempted solutions: On my phone, I install ES file explorer, which reveals that everything in sdcard/ is gone except the Android folder, and an extensionless file called TWRP. Still not suspecting anything, I attempt to create a "download" folder. No luck, access still restricted. I tried downloading a file via the internet browser, "failed to find downloads directory". Everything in sdcard is barred from me. Besides the SuperSU that's half-installed (part of twrp apparently) this is a factory new device, I purchased it from best buy via ebay. Is my phone toast already? Or is there something I can do?
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] james11705:
Since you can boot it, it's not bricked, if ur on cm 13 , ur external memory card is formatted as internal storage (the reason why you cant access it via twrp) , go to settings >storage and USB > select ur memory card >click on options (top right corner) >format as portable storage. Now you can access ur sd card via twrp. And check ur twrp version, 8.6.0 , and command Used to flash it via Pc "fastboot flash recovery filename.img (remove img from original file) . Hope this helps, and about Cm12, what was the error you were getting?

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] freeza:
Awesome man... Are you planning on rooting?

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Water900:
Awesome! :)
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Sterist:
root is required to share the update

1. download the update but DO NOT INSTALL!

2. at this point, root and install a file manager like ES file explorer

3. go to /cache/FOTA (root is required to view this)

4. copy the zip to your internal or external sdcard and upload it.

or we wait for the tarball
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] tx_dbs_tx:
Or better yet... wait for Marshmallow! LOL! But it's probably best to just wait for the tar. We would have to work with a rom dump after somebody took the ota and let their phone patch up to OK1. This would also require everybody to take the ota in order to update their firmwares, bootloader, etc before flashing the new OK1 custom/stockish rom. Running new software on top of older bootloaders/firmware can and usually does have issues. I'm going to wait and see what's on the horizon for the first quarter of 2016 before updating again. Maybe we will get lucky and get Marshmallow. It seems the N5 didn't get a couple of features due to incompatibility issues and the N4 did so that' goes in our favor. We can only hope.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] TCassel00:
I just got the update downloaded but not installed. Nervous todo it. I want my phone rooted but i guess since I'm not yet I'll do this update and hopefully a good root method is available soon. I hope this fixes the camera, gallery and sd card issues as well.

Greetings friend!

I have tremendous problem with s3 I747.

After entering the password for the wifi

sample:

By connecting -> then says saved, protected (WPA2) ... never connected

Failed attempts.

1) * # 0011 # disable power saving .............> did not work

2) installation odin flash stock rom 4.3 ..................> did not work

3) change in baseband and then UCUFNJ1 UCUFNE4 .........> did not work

4) change of rom to slimkat 4.4.4 and 12.1 cyanogenmod ........_> did not work

5) Changes 3 different types of kernel ...........> did not work

What else can I do in the software?

Is there a piece of hardware that heating or welding?

I can use the 3g and 2g, make calls, send sms.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dawgdoc:
What bootloader and modem was your device on before attempting to flash 4.3 with Odin?

In which order did you do step 3?

Was step 3 only the baseband (modem) or did you flash baseband and bootloader?

The 4.3 flash probably didn't work because Odin was protecting you from bricking your device by downgrading bootloader and modem.

If step 3 was only the modem you are fortunate the phone did not hard brick.

If your device was on either NJ1 or NJ2 before the attempt at flashing 4.3, I would recommend reflashing both the bootloader and modem it was on before the 4.3 attempt. If that was the NJ1 version flash it and be ready to go on to NJ2 if that doesn't correct the wifi issue.

My regards, brother.

Thanks for your answer.

The bear had was 4.3 UCUEMJB gave me the motherboard of I747.

I never connect to wifi.

Step 3 did so:

1) install UCUEMJB_to_UCUFNE4_Firmware_update (not connected wifi)

2) install slimkat between the system (not connected wifi)

3) install d2att_I747UCUFNJ1_bootloader_modem_4.4.2_12-3-14 (ADVANCED wipe, reinstall slimkat not connected the wifi)

4) 12.1 cyanogenmod pass (not connect)

5) then went back to try 3 slimkat kernel (not connect)

wipe now advanced.

I installed with this rom I747UCUFNJ2

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3-att/development/rom-d2att-ucufnj2-stock-rom-deodex-t3183267/

The wifi only 50 cm connected modem is slow and unstable.

even after the disable power saving * # 0011 #.

Can it be a hardware failure?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dawgdoc:
It could definitely be a hardware issue, but I am not sure how to test.

---------- Post added at 07:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:34 PM ----------

Have you tested your phone's wifi against routers other than your home router?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
Have you tried it while running full stock rather than slimkat or another custom rom?

Not exactly sure what you meant about the motherboard, but if you changed it out, make sure you connected the wifi antenna correctly and didn't damage the plug.

If it doesn't work on full stock it's most likely a hw issue. Very possibly that antenna.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] r1car2:
Greetings friend.

* Thanks for your reply.

* I have tried several custom rom,

several key modem without key

* I have several antennas have connected, keep doing the same

with wi-fi signal maximum is turned on and off.

They tell me that you can not repair hardware.?

I'll have to buy another card or I can I do?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
It does sound like it's a hw problem. Unfortunately, I don't think it is something repairable. You'd first have to find the correct chip/radio and then replace the one on the board. Neither would be easy.

Your best bet imo, is to get a used replacement motherboard. You can find them online. Ebay usually has plenty. (Look for the motherboard and for working devices with broken screens).

Just make sure the imei is clean (not blacklisted).
