May be a good time to get a chat or phone session going with Verizon Wireless support.

I was hoping since the bootloader was unlocked that a dev could work on it.
Chainfire made an s2 unlock so I was trying to get his answer on the sgs3 but no luck lol

Oh I did that.. they are worse than the fools at the store.. lol
Sim card was switched so must go thru the switch to have lte data enabled and enabled to your account. Also, unfreeze your visual voicemail.

I did a million times.. take battery out.. etc.. rebooted via cvm as well..
I might dump this and get a Galaxy s2 and have fun..
Still no data.. its been over 12 hours without any data...
Should I have purchased the Galaxy s2 instead?
Same thing happens to me today, I flashed back to stock and nothing, also changed sim card and re-register the IMEI, AT&T tech support on phone find there are a problem with APN "pta" because he create a "phone" APN and bring back 4g data but no LTE, it looks like we have some type of problem on the "pta" signal.

Wow.. I'm glad I'm not crazy.. this sucks... I hope this Lte is not a smoke and mirror show... I have replaced the sim card, talked with every tech on the phone, reflashed to stock..nothing as well.
I am going back tomorrow to Att&t store to either get a refund or get a S2.
please, create an APN just to verified we are on the same boat.
Name: ATT
APN: phone
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Authentication: none
APN type: Internet
leave in blank any thing else
report back
Thanks
Hey i'm one of those "fools" in the store haha
Make sure your imei is correct i'm the system as that dictates what data features you have. Also make sure they gave you a 4g lte compatible Sim.

Galaxy S III locked

Hi, I have an S III with a pin unlock code. I was able to get into my phone just fine, untill a few minutes ago I was able to get into my phone.
Now its simply locked and I cannot enter.
Any ideas? There are important family pictures.
Punch in the correct code?
I'm not trying to be facetious, but it's highly unlikely that the code just changed on its own.
Have you tried a battery pull and reset?

What's the battery pull and reset? I really dont want to loose my data.
You can also login to your my Verizon account on the web and look under your phone to find your lock code.

If you enter the wrong code enough times it should give you the option to unlock by entering the password for the phone's primary Google account.

Also, shouldnt I be getting the "forgotten pin" option? I dont see that.
If I get that I can easily login with my google account on MY phone.
Actually, I just tried it with the pin setting.... I'm not getting the "Login with your google account" option either. It shows up just fine for my pattern password, but if I set a pin, I can't find an option to bypass.

My question still stands, how do you reset your password with the pin lock? When I lock my phone with the pattern, if I mess up too many times it gives me the option to login with my google account, but with a pin lock, I saw no such option. What is one to do in this case?

[Q] SIM Unlock Code Input Window Won’t Come Up.

HELP! I recently switched from AT&T to T-Mobile. I brought a SIM unlock code from cellunlocker.net to use with my HOX. It wasn’t my first time dealing with them - they have a good service over there. When I put the T-Mobile SIM card into my AT&T HTC One X (Rooted, Unlocked Bootloader, S-Off & Super CID). I didn’t get the prompt asking for the unlock code. At first I thought it was the ROM (UrDroid_One_X_ATT_OTA_JB_Odex-evita-1.9) so I put the sock 2.20 back in with no change. I unrooted, then I ran a couple of RUU’s (htc_one_x_RUU_2.20.502.7_att_us & RUU_Evita_UL_Cingular_US_1.85.502.3) with no change. Both AT&T and HTC said that they didn’t know what was causing it. The phone works perfectly too. My question is does anyone know of a code that I could punch into the dialer to get the unlock code prompt window to open? If not is there a way to put S-ON back? Reason is I’m wondering if it could be an issue with no security on (S-ON) hence no security prompt… just a guess.

Sorry man, I'm out of ideas.
you could try inserting the sim while in bootloader..
Some phones have a setting for sim card lock in settings -> security I don't use sense so I can't verify that.
Also, you can try changing the prefered networks in settings.
Hopefully one of these helps?

Yes, I'm positive. It works with an AT&T SIM but when you put in a SIM from another carrier you don't get any bars, you just see a little x. Besides that no prompt window comes up asking for the unlock code as it is supposed to do.

Is there a thickness difference between the att sim and the other one? Was it a custom cut SIM?

No, it wouldn't be the thickness because I've used four different SIM cards (both T-Mobile and Simple Mobile) some cut and some not.
try this app and check sim state; although, I dont know if it works.

how did you unlocked your sim with s-off? I need to unlock mine manually as the prompt is not coming neither
EDIT: lol i figured out the problem. Both accounts from the sims that I was testing were deactivated for non use, and thus I couldn't get any signal. Maybe the same happened to your tmobile sim.

[Q] Mom will be using my rooted S3,

and I will be getting the S4. However, my main concern is whether or not verizon will be checking my S3 for root, even if it just switching users (from me to my mom.) Should I odin back to stock or do the guys at verizon even care?
If you buy online, nobody really cares, but I don't think the Verizon guys will care as long as you don't have a custom ROM or something and as long as there's no problem with the phone. I could be wrong though, so I would suggest just buying it online.

Im getting it from a verizon store, so how does the procedure work anyways?
I feel like as long as they don't reboot my phone, they won't see the custom boot animation and see that it's rooted.
I havent done a switch in store, but my guess is that the rep will want to take your phone and do a factory reset on it. In that case they will notice it is rooted. Not sure if they really care though.

Yeah that's all you really need to do. Just delete your Google account and add hers and you should be good, or just do a factory reset. Whichever you wanna do.

All they do is deactivate your current phone by taking out the SIM card. They'll take out the s4, boot it up and set it up, and put your sim card back in. They shouldn't have to reboot your phone other than turning it off to safely remove the SIM. That's pretty much it, and if they see a custom boot logo, I don't thing they'll care that much.

Any Android apps to act ask a Answer machine rather than using my Providers service ?

Does anyone know of a free app , that i can use that will take my voice messages for me , rather than using the one that Vodafone UK offer , i am on Pay as you go , they charge 35p for checking my voice mails , issue been , i need Vodafone , due to the poor signal from other providers in my area.
So a app that takes my messages for me would be ideal....oddly enough i have checked the google store for my android phone and can find nothing , i would of thought this would of been a fairly simple app and a good one for someone to of already written.!! I have tried to use a couple of them , but they tend not to work or have not been supported for a long time .
Youmail? I've used it forever.

thank you, but sadly googlestore says it is not available in my country, that been the UK.
But oddly enough, searching for Youmail popped up a app called PF Voicemail plus
Which looks interesting, I can't test until tomorrow though, but looks to have potential
