Hello
i am new here. its not letting me post anywhere so ima ask my question here.
i installed cyanogen 7 on my mytouch slide
and the wifi would dropp signal when i would use it a lot and data would dropp after like a minute of use.
i installed the new kernel i found here.. it was a custom one for cm7
fixed my wifi issue but i still have the data connection problem
any help please
I have no data at all. it will load up google.com and that is it
everything else fails. ugh its so annoying.
i have bars. and then they go low.
phone calls work fine
NVM FIXED IT..
kernel rocks.
hahaha I had to change my data plan
Just so you know, new members are blocked from posting in the development forums until they have 10 posts. You are still able to post in the other forums. So you could ask questions in the mytouch General or Q&A forum.
I am asking all please don't attack me for posting this as I am but I am desperate....
Hi, I wanted to ask after installing the Stock UVKD1 – Flashable T959VuVKD1zip file will T-Mobile be able to tell I was rooted at one time? What happened is.. I was rooted and after flashing this I wasn't. Not accusing anyone, actually glad because it gave me a reason to return the phone. This purchase wasn't planned but because I own the Vibrant 3g (1st one phone) and love it, love the themes, everything about it. So at T-Mobile store saw 4g and bought it. Nothing like the Vibrant.
The ones that have contributed to this site have been amazing!!! It's too bad that there are so many with just gripes and complaints. Over at the Vibrant sites everyone works together and it's fun. Not a developer, have had many soft bricks but have fun with my phone and enjoy learning.
This is long because I have seen so many attack others and hope people won't waste their time on me because I am returning the phone and haven't posted anything before this anticipating someone would jump on me about where I posted or the answer is elsewhere "go to that forum".
The fact is that everything I have looked at and I have looked everywhere people are having problems and everyone's is a little different than mine so I just want to know if with this rom on my phone can I return it to T-Mobile, to day is the 19th day and I only have 20.
Thanks in advance for any answer someone can provide me with.
im not sure but I don't think you can get D1 over the air right now. however, that doesn't mean you rooted the phone, just that you flashed it. I suspect they might feel the same way about that though. If I was you I would flash from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=978836 and then remove root as explained in that forum.
Please feel free to thank this post if this helped.
wrong section .. should have asked in general but download root checker if it says no root then you are fine

I don't think you read my post completely. I know I am not rooted. I do have some knowledge about what to do or I wouldn't be messing with a phone, this was going to be my main phone and I kept my Vibrant to play with and learn.
I was only asking about the rom because I didn't know what rom was on the phone when purchased.

Well since this KD1 Rom is a t-mobile update, I don't think you'll have any issues returning it. I would unroot the phone though (if is rooted). I'm not an expert; I'm like on the same boat as you are which is learning all this great stuff, but would t-mobile be able to tell if you were rooted once? not really sure.

Thanks for the help. I removed all signs of root so after I swap out the 32 card for the 16 finish getting that straight I should be in good shape.
You might know this, where was the movie on the phone? I zipped it and got off right away so I don't even remember. If you know that would be great.

#1 wrong section, please read before posting in a section that is defined for development only, not general questions.
#2 TMobile retails stores won't even care, probably won't even check.

What problems were you having with it anyhow?
It sounds like you must have been trying to make modifications to it that are either untested or not designed to work properly with the SGS4G.
I know alot of people call it the Vibrant 4G but it's not the same, there are alot of differences with it, so it's easy for someone with less experience to mess it up. Not saying you don't have experience, but it sounds like you breeze through phones quicker than the flick of a light switch.

I thought you might have helped being that it was your thread i got the rom from and I asked the question there, sent you a pm but this is the last day to return (typing while files are moving from one sd to the other). Wrong again, you seemed to be one of the ones actually developing something for this phone and not wasting time to criticize people. Glad to be returning the phone and returning to the Vibrant forum.
People should do what I'm about to before buying a phone they want to mess with and that is check out these forums what's going with the development and if there are an overwhelming amount of negativity. And I know that's what some of you did, just thought I'd save someone the time of posting it.
Once again I am learning as I'm sure some others out there are too.

I have 2 phones the one I am exchanging (returning) the Sam T959V Galaxy S 4 and the Sam T959 Vibrant. That's at least how it's printed on the boxes.
I have not done anything from the Vibrant forum on the Galaxy S 4g phone. I flashed the rom from the thread you posted and went from root to no root. All SU apps wouldn't even open because what was needed wasn't in the needed directory(s).
All's good. Thanks.

It honestly doesn't have much to do with negativity.
More so with forum etiquette. I'm not trying to be rude to you, I merely telling you, no matter how much you post "Don't flame me" "don't be negative"...
If you post in the wrong forum anywhere on XDA, you're gonna get a negative response. That's a given not specific to this section.
I didn't see your post over there, until just now. Again cross posting is a no no, I understand you needed and answer. The best place for that would have been the general forum. not the development forum. It clearly says General Q&A section.
You can return the phone, I love my SGS4G and it works great. It seems like your mixing the two issues. Other than a few people on here, the majority get along just fine with no issues.

Didn't have a problem with the cards and don't have a problem with the phone either so I didn't go over to the threads you posted. I have the sd card that came with the phone and the 32 as well as a 16 for the T959. Use my computer a lot to transfer files and have multiple directories to keep it all separate. No problem there.
If I hadn't bought it after the T959 I am sure I would be keeping it as you are. The amount of development here on XDA is great and I didn't realize that the 2nd memory card (the internal on the T959) that is used like a 2nd sd card but at the same time like the internal memory on all the other phones was removed on the SGS4G. Became spoiled with that as well as the builds on the T959 for themes, mods, roms, etc. Don't mean to insult anyone so please don't take it that way.
You've answered all my questions, thank you and I will contact the correct person letting them know question answered, posted in wrong forum (and multiple times, won't forget that) so this thread can be removed or however they handle the errors (or maybe I'm the first).
Who told you you have 20 days? Standard is 14 for returns

Yeah I hear you. I came from a G1 so it was an upgrade. Not much of an upgrade for a vibrant user.
The threads I posted were actually quotes from posts that you had posted on other forums indicating you had issues, but not in the SGS4G forums, in the vibrant forums.
Glad you have no issues with it. No harm done, just to avoid this always check which forum your posting in and try to avoid cross posting.

T-Mobile customer service and I called the store, but I have been so side tracked I didn't even there. Tomorrow is my 20th day technically and just noticed I had a lock screen on it the phone I need to get off so maybe I'll just keep this too and try and make some changes to it to make it fun.
Customer service has been wrong before, but I have always worked things out with them. Been with them since 2000 and am down to 5 lines from 7 and a data line so they have been pretty good but then again I guess policy is policy. Then again I do know that customer service (return by mail) was up to 30 days and the store was way shorter. I am surprised it was 20.
Yeah.. tenure does mean something with the company.. one of the great things a out tmo

Hello you lovely people,
So I recently sold my phone on eBay and have yet to ship it. If I want to sell it, must I take it down to the US cellular carrier and have them do something to it? Like un-activate it? Because it is still activated. Or can I just do a complete factory reset and whipe internal/external storage and call it good?
Thanks!

Was this not a question...?
cdma phones [verizon/sprint/etc]
basically hit up your carrier and deactivate the device. vice versa, activating a new phone will basically de-activate the old phone afaik. completely wipe everything from the device however method you choose. you can go as far as asking what the buyer prefers you do as well.
gsm phones [at&t/t-mobile/etc]
removing the sim card is fine, then repeat the same steps as far as wiping goes

I sent that same PM off to them....
I honestly can not face palm enough ....They never seize to amaze me...
It's like there is nothing better left to entertain them, so they just play games with people's threads for fun.
Sorry in advance if this is off-topic, but I'm not allowed to post in the official cm10 thread yet (not enough psots) so I'm hoping someone might see it here.
After flashing the 9/23 nightly of cm10, my phone doesn't recognize my sim card or let me save a new APN.
I'm in US on AT&T on the HTC One X, and now I can't connect to any cell networks because it says no sim card found. I also was not able to save any APN settings to remedy this (I'd fill it all out, hit save, and then the list would still be empty). If I select AT&T in Available Networks it tries to register for a while and then gives up. Save with resetting the APN settings to default.
I flashed the 9/19 nightly to try to fix it, but it still won't connect to any networks or let me save any APNs. Right now I can't make any phone calls or texts, so I'd greatly appreciate it if someone has any suggestions to fix this issue. Thanks in advance!
furtively bumping in the hopes someone may help me so I can make an important long-distance call I needed to make today :-\
I know I know, shouldn't have flashed if I needed reliability, it's a weakness of mine.

Haven't tried going back to stock yet, too much of a hassle (I can make this call tomorrow from a landline). There's gotta be a way to fix this. I thought if I walked in to at&t with a cm10 phone they'd refuse to help since it's rooted and everything? Plus I don't think it's a hardware problem if it just happened from flashing the latest nightly, unless the SIM card can be overwritten by a flash?
Anyway, thanks for the response. Would it be bad etiquette for me to repost this in Q&A now? I suppose I'll just go ahead and do so, and delete if someone complains.

My brother recently purchased an S3 off ebay to replace his Droid Razr. The reason for replacing the Razr was that he couldn't get any 4g on it. I gave him my gnex to use while his S3 arrived and he had perfect 4g on it. Now that his s3 arrived he has no 4g yet again but is able to recieve 3g signal. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
also, if this thread is in the wrong place then mods feel free to move it.
Probably should go in q&a since it's a specific question but at least it's not in development
My guess would be it's a bad sim or defective phone. Have you tried to reprovisioning? There should probably be a guide in the sticky by droidstyle or just use the search.

If you are rooted try different modem/rpm and if that doesnt work see about the sim card. Just make sure you go back to stock before you go to verizon
Maybe start really simple with - is the phone's Verizon account setup for 4G?
If it is a stock S3 you should be ale to make it Verizon's responsibility to make it work.
