[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ToF_Itachi:
So up until today everything on my rooted s8+ has been working fine. Suddenly today my google based apps like Youtube and Playstore are saying "No Connections" even though every other app is working perfectly fine. Is this happening to anybody else?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Pr3vo5t:
On most carriers my phone is not compatiable what do I need to do to get this phone onto any network? I had it unlocked by a very well respected website plz help o and the model isSM-G 955U I JUST bought the straight talk BYOB can anybody help greatly appreciated
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] jb_alphamale:
Go back to that respectable company that gave you the unlock code and asked them why.You paid for a service and you didn't get what you expected.That should have been your first step. They will check with you 1st if the phone is really unlocked or not.Good luck.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] RossTeagan:
Your device might be a CDMA one. Thus, you will not be able to use it on all networks.

What is the network of the SIM card you are trying to use?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] cam30era:
All of the North America (Snapdragon) S8 (and plus) have all NA bands, including CDMA. It's the Exynos (European and Asian) variants that do not support CDMA.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Pr3vo5t:
I have ATnT t mobile sprint and Verizon from straight talk came in a their byob but I thought the s8 is cdma gan and lte
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] cam30era:
You are correct. The S8 is CDMA capable.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] cncrim:
USCC S8 is unlocked out the box, I had s6 that work on ATT and Tmobile by go into setting -> connect -> force it switch to Global/GSM. The problem I have with all these CDMA phone unlock for GSM is can't get MMS and the most annoying thing is someone in the state call it kept thinking as internaltional call. Example like 201xxxxxxxxx, the phone think 20 is from Egypt.

Hopefully, S8 is will do what iPhone can..... fix the area code issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] RossTeagan:
So basically the new S8 should support both CDMA and GSM right?

---------- Post added at 02:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:00 PM ----------

What is the exact message your device displays when inserting an att card?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] cam30era:
Correct for the US (snapdragon) version. The Exynos version does not support CDMA.

Edit: See posts #10 and #12 below for clarification from [MENTION=1140856]zelendel[/MENTION].
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] zelendel:
That depends on where in the US you are. All devices in my state are Euro devices and none are the US model. Even the Straight talk devices are Euro models.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] cam30era:
Really? I didn't know that. My understanding was that all major US carriers were only selling snapdragon variants. And the big box stores, as well.

Would you mind sharing what state you are in, and who sells the Exynos version in the US?

Thanks....
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] zelendel:
I live in Alaska. As for the major US carriers. Yeah well we have ATT and verizon just got here but they are both thinking about leaving (not the first time) People in this state prefer Companies founded in the state so our biggest carrier is GCI. I am used by alot of devs to get the "good" devices without them having to pay stupid shipping. But you can walk into any store here and buy the euro device. Even walmart.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] cam30era:
Amazing (as in good). Thanks for setting the record straight.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] zelendel:
Glad I could help. It freaked me out as well the first time I found this out. Being here gave me the ability to get a Samsung devicewith a snapdragon chip and an unlockable bootloader. Mid you that was a few generations ago but I keep tabs on what they are offering in case someone hits me up to get them one.

Also helps that there is no sales tax here.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Pr3vo5t:
It just says mobile network not available and the network is a circle with a / through it. It reads the sim cards just for some odd reason its not doing what it should do:confused::confused:
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] RossTeagan:
Try to use another SIM card from a GSM provider (att or tmob) and at the same time, insert your present SIM card in another device to see if it works.

or if you fix the issue already, let me know
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] zelendel:
Check your imei. If it is wiped you won't be able to connect
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] jb_alphamale:
Uhuuu. That would be bad. IMEI can be wiped only by a custom rom correct? Bad or wrong recovery etc.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] zelendel:
Depending on the device. Samsung devices are known for self corruption. That has been their MO since windows mobile.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Pr3vo5t:
It shows what my imei is and it says my phone number and everything just not be no service circle
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] zelendel:
What straight talk are you trying to connect to? The CDMA carriers have to add the device to their network to allow it last I knew.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Pr3vo5t:
They said I can only do it gsm how can u do cdma like Verizon bc I tried Verizon and AT&T n start only one reading haven't tried sprint
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Pr3vo5t:
But I don't get it because the s8s are suppose to be able to run all networks
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Pr3vo5t:
Illinois and what you mean exynoa?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Pr3vo5t:
In my area really cdma works the. Eat but when I do a service check says art n t is the best bet for me or t mobile so gsm I believe is what they run.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Pr3vo5t:
But isn't us cellular ran on cdma?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] zelendel:
Ok I am gonna come down on us all for this. Not one of us did any research. This is not what we think it is. Had we gonna and looked it up we would have seen that this device is not compatible with CDMA This is a special version made for straight talk Also known as the S8 dream 2. Which I think is exclusive to straight talk.

You "Speak with data"!

:good:
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Pr3vo5t:
Going from U.S. Cellular paid for it to be unlocked and want to transfer to straight talk which I tried and they told me to contact customer support then after I was told it was compatible they then said it wasn't which I find that wrong bc it's unlocked and the s8 has a wide variety with cdma gsm and lte and I just couldn't get data to come through so I swapped to my old Verizon s5 to straight talk for now
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Pr3vo5t:
model number is the sm G955u from u s cellular it's status is still official it's. It blacklisted or a trying still has my phone number on it I just don't know what settings to change to get it to work. I'm in central Illinois area Verizon, us cellular, boost , and sprint are the main around here were in. The country and slot of companies don't get the most reliable Verizon and u s cellular are best service for here. It u.s. cellular and Verizon don't seem to like each other lol
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] cam30era:
If it is indeed blacklisted, then you are wasting your time. There's nothing you can do now. Put it in a drawer and move on...
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] zelendel:
See that is thing thing. You can't really compare this to a normal s8. This is a special model made for them. Which means it won't always have all the same band support. As shown in spec list.

If data is the thing not working then I would find out what bands Verizon is using and make sure the bands are listed in the link I gave you.

Also you have to make sure Verizon has that device imei in their system. This has been a known issue for unlocked devices.

Also make sure that the Sim is not locked to a set device. (some carriers do this)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Pr3vo5t:
That's for the I out I checked and yes Verizon doesn't allow it but shouldn't at n t or t mobile work or even sprint son cards through straight talk. Sorry about just seeing this been really busy withb work
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] zelendel:
Yes but you wouldbhave to get a new sim card and have the number transfered to it and as long as it supports the bands then yes.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] yetdy:
Guys,

I bought a cradle from ebay (leeonline) because I cannot get a 4 in 1 adaptor from HTC. I tried using the vga-out (17 inch CRT Monitor), rca video out (our Television Set), Brandless USB hub, Generic/standard USB Keyboard and Generic/standard USB Mouse on it all at the same time. Everything works.

Now, I really no longer bring my laptop to work. My athena is all I need for Word Processing, Spreadsheets etc. There are quirks though. Sometimes, the mouse stops working or the athena hangs. (It may be the amount of programs installed.) Then again, It is still faster to boot than my laptop. The other downside is that even with the cradle plugged to the adaptor, It will still consume energy from the battery of the unit.

What I have done to my athena may not be new to most people but I would like to hear from other people what attachments or modifications they have done to make their athena more useful and powerful. In this way, we can all benefit from these ideas. Thanks!

Thanks!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] leoni1980:
I used to do that, but the novelty wore off eventually. Now i just bring in a mini notebook. It's easier than carrying loads of bits about and connecting things to monitors (though that option is still there if necessary).

Pretty cool though if you like your gadgets.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] tootallk2000:
Leoni is correct, however he can always leave the other stuff connected to the cradle and use it sorta like a docking station, but you would need a second cradle for the home TV. I'm glad this thread started because I myself was considering getting one for my TV. However, what should I do about the audio coming from my device (will I still be able to connect audio to my AV receiver)? As far as the 4 in 1 cable I would be able to get to the audio jack on the Athena however the down side is that not all USB flash drives would be supported with the 4 in 1 cable. Yetdy can you tell me how you work around getting audio streamed?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] yetdy:
I think there are a few ways to stream audio.

#1 S-Video if I'm not mistaken is supposed to stream audio to your TV.

#2 Audio Jack to RCA Audio converters connected directly to the TV or amplifier would also help assumming you are using the 4-in 1 adaptor. Cradle cannot help you out with this option.

#3 Of course there is bluetooth connection which is what I am going to use. Got a bluetooth transmitter and receiver from ebay but is currently busted (bad seller). Another is to get a BT that has a changeable earphone/buds. Change the earphone to an audio jack to RCA Audio jack and follow #2.

Hope this helps.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] ice_coffee:
yes and no

just my 2 pence worth
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] eaglesteve:
If you want to play audio on your home theatre speaker, you could also consider the option of plugging an FM transmitterinto the headphone jack, then use your FM receiver to play through your theatre speaker.

That was how I used to play my music in the car, through the car's srereo speakers.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] ice_coffee:
wont work if the Athena is in the ebay dock/cradle, as it covers up the audio out port, but does not replicate it.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] yetdy:
Ice coffee,

Maybe you can share some other options here. You may have other ideas that may be useful to us. I just got my athena last month and cradle last week so I cannot really say with authority what it can and what it cannot do. If you can help us out in maximizing the athena with its cradle, many will appreciate it. :)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] leoni1980:
None of the video outputs from the 4-in-1 carry audio, the only options are BT a2dp or the headphones jack. Seems a bit long-winded to me though - I'm sure there are less fiddly mods out there. I just used to use the magnetic keyboard as a stand, slipped a BT keyboard over the top of it and the 4-in-1 for usb hub etc. This left a free audio jack to use as I wished. Seems like the docking station is more of a hindrance than a help.

HTC Advantage

Docking station

Keyboard

Mouse

Hifi Bluetooth A2DP adaptor

USB Hub....

I think my EEE pc is a more convenient device on the whole than the above setup would've been ;) if i'd carried all that with me I wouldn't have had any space to fit my work stuff!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] tootallk2000:
I came accross another docking station for $119.00 USD that has the audio option on the side along with 2 standard USB ports instead of 1. I think it's a bit too pricey, due to the fact that on flebay they do have a2dp stereo bluetooth adapters for like $50 USD. Besides with that and your bluetooth headsets it might still be possible to answer a incoming phone call on your bt headset without having to hear the audio coming from your A/V receiver (considering you left the phone on). Leoni, both options have their own drawback (no powering source with the 4 in 1 cable for all USB storage devices and the inaccessable headphone jack when using the docking station). But anyway I'm going to order the 4 in 1 cable too and see which one works best for me on a day to day use.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] ice_coffee:
as I said the only simple option is to use bluetooth and as tootalk2000 pointed out you can get adaptors on ebay for £25 ish, I suppose the other more complicated option would be to, take your cradle apart and replace the USB connector into the phone with this,

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2in1-Audio-US...oryZ3728QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

and then take the other end of this apart and make it fit in your cradle, it would actually be quite easy to do as there is a lot of space in the cradle.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] tootallk2000:
Awwwww shux, someone just gave me some experimenting to go do. I'm ordering one of those jacks today, and hopefully it will come around the same time as cradle. I'll just super glue it to the back portion of the cradle and plug it in externally. Due to the fact that the USB port is still on there you would still be able to sync even when the ear phone jack is still in use.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] ice_coffee:
lol my thoughts exactly. ;)
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adam_s_459_:
Hello.

I was thinking of getting an LG G4 as an upgrade from my shattered Huawei y6, but I was wondering how easy it would be to unlock the bootloader on the Rogers (Canadian) variant. I can't find anything on this. Also what is the model number for that phone?

Thanks for your time!
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steadfasterX:
You can't unlock officially the Rogers model. The only ones are h811 which is T-Mobile US and h815 international(!) version.

There is a way to unlock unofficially with limitations which can be found in my signature

Besides this you should know that depending on the manufacturing date you will suffer from a hardware issue. Just search for bootloop g4..
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deltadiesel:
Rogers phones are now 6 or 7 #?series I wouldn't would about bootloop

Although I avoided Rogers got an American phone because of bootloader

[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] Crajat95:
Hey guys as you know a new build 32.4.A.1.54 with September security patch is out for our Xperia Z3+.

Hence enjoy the stock kernel with features:

1. Sony RIC- disabled.

2. DM-Verity- disabled.

3. TWRP- enabled.

4. DRM Fix- enabled.

5. Superuser / root- Not present. (just flash magisk its better and device also passes safety net).

6. Busybox- Not present

Note: This is tested by me and works fine ,hence I assure it will work for your single sim E6553 Z3+ also. But flash the same at your own risk,I won't be responsible if anything goes wrong.

Don't flash on dual sim device

Download kernel: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BycUX5axs3M4RGZMcE43U1R2WTQ/view

Please try flashing kernel again,TWRP is present in this kernel, press volume up button when notification led turns yellow during boot on Sony logo.
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] Crajat95:

You can flash the 32.4.A.1.54 build rom on locked bootloader with flashtool as this is stock rom but you do have to unlock bootloader to flash the kernel.

Unlocking bootloader is very easy, just backup your drm keys first and Google and learn the process.

Good luck.

Yes you can flash this with flashtool, this is a stock untouched ftf from official Sony's server.

But for your convenience while flashing untick all the boxes in the wipe section, so that you can upgrade to ver 7.1 without loosing any data.
