Anyone running the new VZW JB leak that lives in an area plagued by the "no sim" error?
If so have you gotten the error since flashing?
I'll second this question.

I thought that issue was fixed in one of the updates? I also know that Samsung had replaced phones having that issue claiming it was a firmware issue....
Yes, unfortunately they have publicly claimed to fix the problem taking it off the radar but even a quick Google search on the issue shows that none of those things have worked. Hence the hopes that someone will see the issue go away with the jellybean update. It's a long shot but we can always hope.

I was working with someone else yesterday who had this issue... They contacted Samsung directly who agreed the problem was supposed to be solved and agreed to send them 2 replacements.....

Well, I've called samsung several times and they assure me it's the first time they've ever heard of the problem. Also, as I said before, if you google the issue you'll find that even the units samsung claims to have fixed are still not working. I'm you're a verizon rep. which would be even more discouraging to me because that means that you guys are convinced the issue has been fixed when it isn't. That said if you know of someone I can contact at samsung that would send me a working phone I would love it. All they've offered me is to send it in to them (leaving me without a phone for at least two weeks) so they can fix it (which as I've said before has been done by others and not worked).
Ive never seen that error once on my phones (had 2 of em). Why not just warranty you phone thru verizon till you get one without the error?

Because it does not work.
I have read not one case of anyone getting a fixed phone. The problem is it is not a problem with the phone alone, it is something with this phone and only certain towers.

I think I will try to contact Samsung about this myself.

Anyone else have an issue where "Check for Updates" is 100% non-functional? Since I first got the phone, checking for updates always results in the window vanishing and nothing happening. My girlfriend's Thunderbolt always pops up a window saying no updates available. Today when the OTA finally rolled out, her phone picked it right up when I checked for updates. My phone still sits there like it's staring at a wall confused. I've done probably ten factory resets since I got the phone and it maintained the same behaviour each time. Is this a hardware issue or am I not clearing something that the factory reset does not get? Not really a dealbreaker as I can update through HBOOT, but annoying to say the least.

You are probably in a non-4G area and the problem is due to eHRPD. Revert to revision A and then try to update and see if it is any better.
eHRPD has issues... (though Verizon keeps claiming they've fixed it).
I have the same problem and it happens on 4g too. If I press the check for updates button enough it will tell me network isn't available when it is

Sorry to hear that bro, are you rooted? I did glance at you op again and we were having different results. You said your update search window would disappear, but mine would say network not available. I also apologize for misleading you. I'm not sure if this would be a hardware problem, probably more of a software one. But if you really want to I would just root and get the update from jcase's thread or if that isn't the route you want to take maybe Verizon can help. I know, I know, they normally don't but you never know.

I may just go ahead and root. That way my inability to update would be a "feature" and no longer a bug.

Root is definitely the way to go as long as you've done your homework. If you haven't taken this step before make sure you read through everything and understand what you are doing before proceeding. If you have any problems or questions feel free to pm me.
I am having the same exact issue. I even tried manually updating the update.zip file and I keep getting an operation error and phone just reboots. Any ideas why this is happening?

if you are manually doing it the file needs to be in the root of your sd card and named PG05IMG.zip

By doing this, will it wipe my phone or will everything still be intact (like the true ota update)? I still havent received the update and everytime i hit the check new on my phone, the box comes up saying Checking for new Software available now but then quickly just disappears. It seems like it it not fully connecting to servers to check for an update. It has been doing this since day 1 and im getting the feeling I will never receive this update over the air.
hey guys, I know this is a known issue, but I can't take it anymore, I literally can't use 3g, because the voice button activates itself all the time, I'm using it, I don't know if I should send it, to warranty, because this is clearly a bug... I need some advice please.
BTW my nexus s is rooted, I've tried also all the roms available and still got the same issue. help
Have you flashed a different radio? It is a known issue with the 9020A.

gonna try that see whats up thanks.
Been waiting months for a fix. KB3 modem is the best in regards to minimizing the problem. Also, cyanogen nightly (7.1) has the option to map the short and long press of the search to "nothing".
There is also a paid app, i think it's called "search nothingness" or something along those lines that can remap the search to nothing.
personally with KB3, i rarely get the issue, usually only during GPS navigation. At home and at work, i have wifi, so 90% of the time, it's a non-issue.

I hope this also fixes my issue with Home and Back buttons getting stuck in "long press."
Yea what a joke. I updated the radio to "fix" my search button issue. Oh it fixes it but also brings capped data speeds and no modifying the ro.ril aka build.prop doesn't help. So sacrifice speed for annoyance depletion or keep the raw dog and risk throwing you're phone out the window at 70 on the interstate!!!! Lol it fixes it. No we just have to fix the data caps again.

I had the bug, installed 2.3.6 and it's gone. No more random firing of the search button. My only new bug is that my gmail application Outbox count won't work properly. Even when it's empty it shows a number.
If I reset the application and clear it's data it starts up again with the issue.

Hey guys I didn't want to start another thread so I'm continuing this post.
I'm still noticing the search button bug (Firing randomly) in low reception areas.
Currently I'm running the ICS OTA 4.0.3 with UCKF1 radio on the i9020a.
Is anyone else still seeing this bug from time to time? Did anyone find a way to fix completely? If so please share you solution, if not share your stories. Thanks guys.
I have the i9020a and mine had the annoying bug as well except it was the home button firing with recent apps coming up all the time. I have updated to 4.0.3 from the t-mobile version and flashed the ucke1 radio and have not hae the problem since. In fact I have not run into any problems yet.

If you get the search bug with 2.3.6, send your phone in to get the screen replaced. Also keep in mind that the current ota of ics is NOT for the i9020a

Just got my phone today, and apparently the sticker on it that said updated meant that there is no local search due to... Lawsuits? Whatever.
I hate apple now.
Anyhow I've Googled it and can't find how to get this back.
Just articles talking about how it was removed.
Is there a way? Do I flash gapps from cwm recovery?

Does that apply to all phones they make now? I thought it was just the Nexus for a particular period. Now that you mention it though I just got mine today, same sticker and same results. This phone is so loaded and my first Android cell so I feel sorta lost and could be missing a setting.

I am not certain, but from the out of the box get go I was not able to bring any local apps up.
Not even settings, which was just asinine considering I am unfamiliar with touchwiz, and with ICS coming from GB... so I needed to find the settings and did not want to page through the apps.
None of that works, you can only search google on the internet, nothing else.
Same here, but I was wondering if it's a limitation of TouchWiz this is a crazy heavy skin. I'm coming from iPhone so I'm happily lost, I could have missed the setting.
Maybe someone can help me out, I'm running no sympathy VRALG1 however I pulled the googlequicksearchbox.apk(1.4.1.338691) from the nosymapthy VRALF2 , I can install it and my local search works great, until I reboot and then it doesn't work and the installed version of googlequicksearchbox.apk is back to version 1.4.1.396604. How do I stop it from upgrading or changing?

Yeah I figured it out myself, I just completely deleted it off my phone from titanium and then reinstalled the old version rebooted several times and it's still working.
Idk if this is Rom based or just my luck, but on aokp and paranoidandroid my status bar and digital clock widget stops at random times. I've pulled several logs, but there really isn't any information that points add to why.
Anyone else have this problem?

Idk the problem either, but I've experienced it as well. "clock sync" usually does the trick for me, if you're looking for a quick fix. Though it will go out of sync again.

Are you using the digital widget by chance?
Unfortunately, I have found that, although sparatic at best, this is a known issue for several different devices. Yet, no-one has seem to be able to pinpoint it. It only affects a small group of users who most of which, have no commonalities which makes this issue very hard to troubleshoot
I have found what seems to be a fix (so far) on the Samsung sgs4g with using my Gremlin Remover 1-click; however, I was only successful in making a gb version of it for that device. All the Odin flashable packages I have found for the skyrocket do not include all the necessary files to create a gr for it. Not too mention, I'm not sure if the skyrocket can be downgraded with Odin since my last attempt ended in a hard brick...
I would be willing to attempt it off someone has either a jtag/riff box or the ubm for the skyrocket to test for me. That way they can quickly and easily recover the device without the fear of paying someone to fix it or even worse send it to Samsung...lol

Yes it was the digital clock and status bar clock. It happened to me only on ics builds and I have yet to experience it on jb. I found it easiest to use clock sync app. It should be in boobah aroma installer; not to sure about the play store.

Then after half an hour..
I turned it on...
And since then..
No problem..
I've had a problem with my skyrocket for quite some time now. No matter which radio, ROM, or kernel I use the data will be hit and miss and so won't phone calls and messaging. I've already had one skyrocket replaced because of this issue and even got a replacement SIM card to no avail. I get full bars of H+ service. I've tried adding different APNs as well. The AT&T store is obviously stumped (they are basically worthless) and phone support is no better. I was wondering if anyone knew of this problem and what caused it or a way to fix it.
