[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pvlazzo:
Hi,

I don't live in the US and this phone GPRS settings are locked to AT&T. I've read several post to modify the regitry, delete key, etc. My problem is that whatever I do I get access denied.

I am currently using CeRegEditor 0.0.5.2

I've hard reset my phone...nothing works.

I would like to:

1. Remove AT&T wap settings

2. Increase the size limit for ringtones

3. Enable my GPS to use my carrier data plan

I know how to do all of these things, it just that the registry won't let me.

Also... can someone provide a link to GPRSmgr.exe file?

Thanks !

yea i must say sprint by far has the worst customer service out of all carriers and ive dealt wit them all...by far the best is tmobile without a doubt

I've had awesome customer service from sprint. I always treat purple with respect and kindness and receive the same. If ur rude to the reps then they will not want to help u. They also just recently moved my one year premier upgrade a month early for me so I could get the epic

(this isnt aimed at anyone... I re-read it and it sounds like I am trying to call people out, and I am not lol) if I went to your work at mcdonalds and was a **** about not wanting salt on my fries, would you smile and turn the other cheek and fix it? Or would you spit in my food? I will be the first to admit, if you are nice and respectful, I will bend over backwards to help you out. If you are a bag o' douche, then you can suck it. Social engineering makes the world go 'round.

When calling customer care for help on something, which one of these will work better?

"So, I love (like, enjoy, whatever) my sprint service, I have never had any issues with my account, but my phone is starting to act up. I have insurance, and know I can pay $100 thru assurion to get a new (refurbished) device. I know my upgrade isnt until november, but is it possible to move up my upgrade?"

OR

"I saw online you moved up someone elses upgrade by a month, and I demand the same thing or I will have to talk to your supervisor! I have had sprint service for 22 months and will cancel and tell everyone I know to cancel also if you dont do this. My uncle knows Dan Hesse and will make sure you get fired also."

I never have had any issues with getting my upgrades early. Got the epic for free even :eek:
[Epic 4G General] raiderep:
Personally I treat all colors with respect. I am a bit partial to blue but purple deserves respect as well as the rest of the colors of the rainbow. Pardon the interruption, I had some teeth pulled today and the vico's are helping a bit too much...

Call vzw and tell me how you feel sprint is by far the best. That is all
[Epic 4G General] gergenhime:
I'm not quite as pleased with the customer service here as I was with vzw personally. I recently had a frustrating few days with them as I was one of the unlucky few to receive an epic with the malfunctioning capacitive buttons. Long story short they wouldn't swap me out for a new one, then I was talked down to for returning the malfunctioning device by the sales staff saying I was costing her a sale. I returned it and decided to just get another from best buy....payed a little extra but the device works great...just wish it wouldn't have been such an ordeal to get here
[Epic 4G General] Kafluke:
As a customer service manager for 14 years I am particularly sensitive to how I am treated by other companies. I have a unique view from both sides of the fence so I am never overly judgmental or expect the world from anyone on the other end of the phone.

That being said, I have NEVER in my entire life been treated the way that sprint treated me as a brand new customer of only 2 1/2 months.

I switched to sprint because T-mobile coverage in my area was less than acceptable. Ever since switching I have been fighting with them over promises made, bills messed up, unauthorized billing, you name it. Not once have I ever spoken with anybody from sprint that has given me the impression that they care one bit for me as a customer.

The people they hire to man their phones could really care less whether you stay with sprint or not. Not even their escalation managers want to take any time to try and solve your problem.

The reps in the official stores are no better. Just as soon as they found out that I bought my epic from a "third party store" and not an official sprint corporate store they treated me like a red headed step child. Oh, I apologize that I didn't hunt down one of the 3 official sprint stores in Utah. The damn store had ONLY large yellow sprint decals all over the windows and sign. How the hell was I suppose to know that it wasn't an "official" sprint corporate store?

I made a HUGE mistake in switching to Sprint and the next two years can't come fast enough so that I can get out of my contract now.

It's also interesting to google "worst customer service". You will find Sprint at the top of every list.
[Epic 4G General] sling:
Ive been with them for 8 years the last 2 have shown great improvement.

In 2008 Sprint received a score of 56, AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon all received scores above 70. Sprint received a 70 rating this year, a 14-point improvement which is pretty amazing really.

Your Google suggestion is very misleading with much of the sprint Worst CS being from prior years.

The current ratings are much better.

http://macdailynews.com/index.php/weblog/comments/26293/

Anyway Sprint CS P me off at times...so does Cox cable internet , Directv , Samsung & a few others.

That's life
[Epic 4G General] LordLugard:
Hmm, i wouldn't know whether they are the best or the worst because i really don't know. The beauty of my Sprint service is that it works well enough that i don't call customer service.
[Epic 4G General] Kafluke:
How is it misleading? The very first google result is MSN's Customer Service Hall of Shame with Sprint at the top in 2007 and jumping only three spots to number 4 from 2007 - 2010.

2007 - 1st

2008 - 3rd

2009 - 3rd

2010 - 4th

You consider 4th worst company for customer service an improvement? When they disappear from that list altogether then I'll consider it an improvement. And before you start throwing this "well they're a big company" BS my way, consider that there are very large successful companies that never make this list.

Also that link you provided only compares their customer service with other wireless carriers. The MSN list is much more comprehensive.
[Epic 4G General] othan1:
Apples to oranges.

Of course you want to compare wireless service to other wireless service. What are you going to do? Dump your Sprint phone and buy a toaster because Litton Toasters customer service is better?

Oh, and please provide a link. I'd like to actually read what you're reading and, as funny as it is to do, not compare phone CS to toaster CS.

Thanks.
[Epic 4G General] sling:
Ya I consider that improvement.

The 14% customer satisfaction increase in 2009 - 2010 is pretty amazing edging very close to their competition within 5%

Relax Im not making excuses for them.

I am stating that their making major improvements you disagree.

na If in the market for cell phone I would compare carrier CS ratings , Prices & my local coverage.

Those factors made my decision easy.

My Coverage is better then the others , I save about 40.00 a month and get more.

I have no need to call CS everyday....maybe twice a year if headaches come from it oh well its worth great coverage & major savings.

Does that make sense to you?
[Epic 4G General] Kafluke:
I can't argue with your opinion. If you go from really crappy service to slightly less than crappy service even if its a 100% improvement from the following year its still crappy service!

I've seen some posts in this thread that point to the fact that those users haven't had to call Sprint's customer service so they consider their support just fine. That makes no sense. If you don't have an opinion on how you are treated by their phone service then stay out of the conversation.

This isn't a debate on how well you can get a signal or whether or not you had the need to call support. This is about those of us that had to call support right off the bat for one reason or another (in my case I was given a used cell phone with no upgrade option as a brand new customer) and how we were treated once we got them on the phone.
[Epic 4G General] sling:
Thats your opinion....a bad one but still yours.

Ive been with T-mobile , att & Verizon finding all of them to have CS issues.

To paint Sprint customers as stupid not knowing what good CS is & Sprint all bad because your having issue is not nice or fair.

You should know that seeing your in the CS business.

I agree 100%.

Ive been with them for 8 years delt with some crappy Store & phone CS reps but as Ive said the last couple years it has improved greatly.

As of right now I give them a C+ on CS

All carries pull such low tactics....heck Verizon built their BIG network ripping off customers its how business works

Hey guys, I've pretty tech savvy but new to playing with smartphones.

I have the Titanium backup and I removed some bloatware. (Bell Galaxy S 2.1, rooted, unlocked on Telus) I made out OK but stupid me never did a backup first.

Everything was fine until I removed Google Talk and I don't remember the other one below it. (I think it was goolge talk storage or something like that)

No when I boot the phone up I get Error com.google.process.gupps closed. And I can't download from the market. Everything else is fine afaik

Can someone help walk me through this?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] exadeci:
A google search ? :p

Thanks for the help but on my phone I don't have that option. Where do I find the place to clear it on my phone?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] exadeci:
Wich one you don't have ? Try clearing all google stuff
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DaveJeep:
There are no options on my phone that I can find for clearing anything google. I know how to clear the browser stuff but can't find anything else to clear google things. I found where I can sync my google contacts, gmail & calendar but not clear it. There's an option to remove the google account and I tried it but it says I can't delete the account because it's used by the phone and I'd have to do a factory reset.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] exadeci:
Press your device's < Home > button, then press < Application >.

Select Settings and then Applications.

Select Manage applications.

Maybe All tab

Select Gmail Storage and then select Clear data. Answer OK when prompted.

Return to the list of applications by pressing the < Back > key.

Select Gmail and then select Clear data. Answer OK when prompted.

Restart your device (Press and hold the < End call > button, then select Power off. Press < End call > to power on).

Thanks for the link. I am just a bit scared to install it because it says it gets rid of the radio. My market worked fine before I deleted Gtalk and Gservice.

Is there another way?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DaveJeep:
OK so just to clarify, everything on the phone worked fine before I uninstall Gtalk and Gtalk Services (I think that's what it was, it was right below Gtalk)

Can I put the Gtalk and Services back on to fix it? (If so where do I find it online? Maybe someone has a dump?)

I don't know how to install the marketfix without the market either, it just sends me to the market no matter what I do.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] anoneemooz:
The EXACT thing happened to me before. I did a google search and learned that Google Talk is in fact tied to using the Market.. I had to reflash my phone's firmware to get everything back.

I recently made a backup of all the default software of my SGS including Google Talk. So I have its apk and such.. I dunno exactly if you can install it from an APK..but yeah I have it. I'll upload it for you when I get home later. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DaveJeep:
I will just reflash the phone with original firmware if I can find it. Mine is the Bell version. Will the IMEI change if I reflash it with new firmware? Mine is I9000UGJH2 currently. No updates available through kies.
[General Questions and Answers] jbucklee:
How do I get my HTC Incredible (w/ Froyo 2.2) on Verizon to stop overriding my pictures? I want my contacts "linked" to their Facebook profile, but I want to use the picture that I have selected and not the one that Facebook feels I should be using without warning. :mad:

I am very anal about my profile pictures and have selected nice pics for everyone in my book. I have went in to each profile picture and selected my Google picture (my personal selected picture) and the contact picture becomes my picture. No problem...

I open my contacts sometime in the near future (day/less than a day) and magically some (not all) random contacts revert back to the Facebook picture without warning!

This is making me utterly crazy! Does anyone have any idea how to get this to stop?!?

I have tried:

Unlinking the facebook profile, saving, updating picture, saving, relinking to facebook, saving.

Screaming loudly

Searched every thread known to man with no look (if you know where the answer is, please point me there! PLEASE!)

Rebooted

This was happening before Froyo as well, so this is an existing problem for a while I suppose.
[General Questions and Answers] kekkle:
I honestly don't think there's a way to stop this. Atleast I never found one.

A workaround would be to not allow Sense to sync your Facebook contacts.
[General Questions and Answers] CrimsonFrost:
The whole point of his post though was he wants the contacts linked with their Facebook profiles, just doesn't want the picture switched on him when he's already selected one he likes.

I really feel where you're coming from OP, this has been driving me nuts for awhile now. I think it's an HTC Sense UI issue though. At least, that's what I have gathered from other forums/posts.
[General Questions and Answers] freakzone:
The thing which did work for me - open the contact main page, then press the link icon, then a new screen will pop up, there is a slider next to the picture, click on it and it will let you chose a picture. I needed to do it a couple of times so just do it 2-3 times if it doesn't come up the first time :)

I was wondering if there existed an app that could do face or fingerprint recognition so that i could use that in some form instead of typing pincode in some apps?

Per
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Electroz:
Ok, My phone's internal SD decided to quit on me a couple of days ago, so I'm sending it back to Bell/Samsung for service. However, when I was speaking with the bell tech, he asked me to put the phone into recovery mode by doing the following with the phone off.

Hold Vol Up, Home and Press the Power Button.

When the Samsung GT-I9000M logo appears, let go of both Home and Power. (Keep holding Vol Up)

Now, I did happen to have one with 3 button modes enabled. But I tested it anyway and it worked.

Hopefully it's worth a shot if someone could try this with 3 button disabled.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Electroz:
Wanna try the same thing, only keep holding power and vol up. Let go of the home button when the logo pops
[Galaxy S I9000 General] wilx:
If I Hold Vol Up, Home and Press the Power Button, I go into FORCED UPLOAD by KEY PRESSING mode, not recovery mode... what is this mode for and how can I get recovery mode? So my buttons arn't disabled, they just go into this mode. I am on JM1. Is this going to cause me problems if I have a bad flash? I have seen elsewhere that this FORCE UPLOAD mode should be accesed by vol down home and power
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alis333:
don't work :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
the 3 button combination you mentioned is the normal method to go into Recovery Mode, there is no secret there

for a moment i though it was a new combo
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Electroz:
The normal way of doing it was to release ONLY the power button. He asked me to release the home button and not the power button. Hence me asking someone without the mode to try it. Nothing more. My phone is working and goes in every time, so I had no way to know. I apologize for wasting your time.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] spark001uk:
Ok, well i'm glad this thread is started, i was about to do it before i noticed this one!

Right well, i've spoken with an engineer yesterday at a Samsung service centre near me - and he said that the 3-button recovery/download modes has to work, as this is what they use themselves in order to flash customer handsets with their own flashing equipment. So basically, he said if the 3-button modes don't work, it's a fault, and they would send the phone back to Samsung! He did in fact add that he hasn't come across this problem himself as yet. However, he went on to say he's not sure if you could get the handset swapped out purely to access the recovery/download, as customers are not meant to be using this feature!

(By the way the method given by OP didn't work for me, and i've tried quite a few!)

[Galaxy S I9000 General] kiay:
hi there, i'll be getting my Galaxy S later on today, just want to ask a noob question here, if the 3 button was disabled and i tried it with the combos, what will happened to my phone? will it brick and i have to send it back to repair? or i can unbrick it myself?

thanks,

Kiay
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ianrush:
Nothing. It'll just start up normally and wont go into download- or restoremode.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kiay:
ah.... thanks for the quick reply, but how come people are saying that they bricked their phone and need to send it for replacement or so?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] evoprime23:
kiay reason why people have their phone bricked is because when your phone doesnt have the 3button enabled and you try to flash your phone to another FW and it stuffs up during that time you will get a PC->!->phone pic on your screen which means it wont respond to any button presses unless you put the phone in recovery/download modes ... obviously if you dont have the 3button to be able to put them in its respective modes you will have no choice but to send it in for either a fix or replacement

hope that makes sense... thats why phones with 3button disabled will have to return their phone to get fixed where as phones with 3button active it will be hard to brick a phone
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hol17:
Because something happened to their phone (via firmware upgrade, changing system files, or other things) and most of the time to restore these easy fixes, we need Recovery/Download mode and it's disabled on a lot of Galaxy S's.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] msri3here:
So, is there an alternative if the combo is not working on the phone?

coz, as i read in the earlier posts, end users are not supposed to know this...and the dealer might refuse to take the handset back for this "fault"...

For the people with disabled download & recovery, how do you root your phone so that you can adb reboot recovery/download ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DarthV:
You don't have to be rooted to use adb to reboot into download or recovery modes. Or to install apks through the SDK. You need the 3 button modes @ boot in case you have a bad flash or do something stupid :)

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Prostheta:
Given that the vast majority of people who will be users here will root their phones or do something that has the potential to brick or lock their phones, having 3BR is an essential.

If the official Froyo release doesn't cure handsets without 3BR in the wild (a possibility?) then I would consider rejecting your handset with your supplier/carrier for a handset that can be recovered. Consult your contract and/or bill of sale immediately so you know your rights in advance though! It depends on whether you want to risk an unrecoverable phone whilst wishing on a star for a Froyo-based solution (not guaranteed) or to just get what you are paying for.

Apologies in advance for the bias on reject your phone. *cough*
