Ok I got one,
My microphone is broken (everyone says I sound like I'm in a tunnel) I don't have the $ or time to fix the microphone, so I've been using my headset. My head set has a sucky midrange, where everything sounds muddy. I need to amplify the high end and reduce the mid range on my calls. I know the Galaxy SIII has an In-Call EQ, is there an EQ I can use to fix this situation on my phone or is there any kind of hack I can use?
I saw other screenshots of people's speed test with the Blaze & theirs seemed way higher than mine. Anyone know a way I can improve my speeds? Running Provision ROM V3.1

It's all location dependent. But some have seen higher speeds with the T989 uvmc6 radio
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1895400 Try a few out and see what happens, note what radio you have now so you can go back if you want.
But in the end most of it is just how loaded the towers are in your area (at least with the blaze's hspa42), and what server speedtest is connecting to. But your speeds are pretty average and not that bad. I normally get 6-8mbps down, 2mbps up, 60ms ping.
Here's my question What ROM are you running?

I wanted to know if it was possible to back port the android 4.2 lock screen to 4.1.2? I would love to have that lock screen now until a build of CM 10.1 is done for the blaze.

I've noticed in CM10, 5gz Wifi is supported. Does the Blaze support this range, or is it just CM10? Thanks!

My husband has the samsung galaxy s blaze 4G; love the phone, but is having a recurring issue. The last 2 micro sd cards he's had in it have suddenly been wiped and lost everything that was on them while mounted in the phone. No warning, just everything's gone. I haven't tried a hard reset yet. When it happened with the first card, I unmounted it and tried reading it on the pc, but it was blank, then the pc wouldn't even recognize it.
Any suggestions?

Is it possible to change the path to which the phone saves apps when you chose to move them to the SD card? When I do this on my phone it just moves them to the "internal" storage space and not onto my 32GB microSD card.
EDIT: Nevermind, just being dumb and lazy this evening. I've found the info in another thread...
Should I Unlock?
Let me start off my saying that I am just your average housewife with a cell phone problem. I am hoping to get some honest advice about unlocking my phone.
Obviously, I have a T-mobile Samsung Galaxy S Blaze. I bought it used from a private party and intended to use my Walmart Family Mobile sim with it, but it would never recognize my sim card. A couple of months worth of troubleshooting went by and the whole time I assumed the problem lied with my service plan and sim card. I finally took it to a T-mobile store, surely they would have some magic settings or a quick fix, right? Wrong! They informed me that the phone was network locked because someone reported it stolen and there was nothing they could do for me.
My service plan is 'powered by T-mobile'. Will unlocking the phone enable me to use it on the T-mobile network again?
The phone is in perfect condition. There has got to be some way to still make it usable. Any advice you have to offer would be so helpful.
Note: T-mobile 4g Sim = no indication or recognition of the sim
Walmart Family Mobile 3g Sim = message basically stating that I need to upgrade my sim
Any ATT Sim (not prepaid) = a screen pops up requesting an unlock code

If the phone is reported stolen, you will not be able to use it with t-mobile. Unlocking it should make it work with ATT. Data may be limited to edge speeds on ATT
Edit: Not sure if there is a way to check it they told you the truth at the store. Maybe someone else has some experience with this?

Have you rooted the phone yet? Do you have a custom ROM installed? If you do it could be a matter of just setting the correct APN settings under the network settings. I could be wrong though. But its worth trying. Look up the Walmart mobile APN settings and see if that will work. That would be the first thing I would try. If you don't know how to change the APN a simple Google search will find what your looking for. Hope this helps.

Please don't get frustrated with me
1. My phone is not rooted. Not too sure what rooting is, but I think its like jailbreaking?
2. I probably do not have a custom ROM (googling that right now)
3. I know all about APN settings. I have many different APN's for T-mobile. Yes, I have Walmart's, as well.
I am very familiar with how to add them to the phone.
4. I also upgraded to 4.0.4 ICS (not sure if that's important)

I have requested my unlock code from T-Mobile. I have my Straight Talk SIM card ready to go. Now, my question is:
Does having Root and/or custom roms affect the process of unlocking a device?
I just want to make sure ahead of time so I can make the process as smooth as possible. Thanks in advance!
I believe you just need to be on a stock ROM, then it'll always be "activated" no matter what you flash.
So root makes no difference?
Doesn't make a difference.

You must unlock in stock, but once you do, you are free to root away.

Well I ended up having to flash a stock rom to get it to work, but my phone is unlocked. which led me to a weird question:
I put my friends Straight Talk sim card in my phone to be sure it was working, and the phone had service and data on it right away. I was able to make phone calls, surf the web, send texts (I didn't test out the MMS). I thought adjust the APN settings was a must for all that stuff to work...? I didn't change a thing. But then it got me curious as to what my APN settings actually were. But when I went to click on the APN button under settings>mobile networks, I get the horrible "Unfortunately the process com.android.phone has stopped" error. I haven't seen that since I stopped using Wifi calling. Now it looks like I can't change my APN if the need arises. Anyone know of a loop hole to this?
Does 3g/hspa work for you sorry to change subject but can't find info on this subject I'm thinking of moving to this phone from the thrill 4G but in afraid my straight talk Sim won't connect 3g since it's TMobile phone and straight talk is Att towers to best of my knowledge
Sent from my LG-P920 using XDA
Straight talk runs on a variety of frequencies from its parent companies depending on what device you have. AT&T devices are equipped for Straight Talk's 3G network because they operate on the frequencies. T-Mobile devices operate slightly differently. However, adjusting the APN settings correctly to transmit date via AT&T's service is supposed to to more or less resolve the issue. Unfortunately I can't seem to do that. It may be something to do with the rom I'm using, but I'm not sure. I'll have to text it out.
that would be awesome I'll keep checking back to see your results
Sent from my LG-P920 using XDA
If straight Talk uses Att's 3g frequencies then you won have 3g on this phone. This phone does not have the proper radio frequency for it.
Edit: look at my answer in your other post.

So here is what I am looking for... i have a Verizon SCH-i535, and what I am looking for is someone who has flashed the stock tmobile rom and changed the bands within the phone its self using the hidden menu (netmonitor app) to see if they can get more than just edge data... I have it flashed to AT&T right now and am using a friends T-mobile sim card that we cut down to fit into the SCH-i535 GS3... it seemed to sync with the towers and get mms.. text.. calls... and internet... just not 3g... I would like to know if someone has found a fix to this issue...
Thanks for your time.
Why not just flash the Verizon Jellybean Rom (Cleanrom or Jellywiz) since global mode was enabled in that Rom? Then drop your tmo sim in.

You know I had not thought about using the global mode on verizon.. I will have to give that a try... do you know if that will allow for 3g on tmobile?
Useful thread so far, but I have a several questions.
I currently have a Verizon Galaxy S3 SGH-i535 with a T-Mobile prepaid sim card (unlimited everything), I can call and text, but cannot get any network access.
I'm currently running Clean Rom 5, settings on Global. Is there any way I can enable data, preferred 3G? [due to that T-Mobile will get 4G on Verizon phones next month).
On CM10, I get Edge and can receive text, but cannot send text. Tried APN settings, etc. Is there a fix for this?
I have tried everything, but no luck. Any suggestions is appreciative

So what I did is i unlocked the bootloader... rooted it... and then flashed the AT&T stock rom on it and then plugged in the TMO sim card and then changed the bands to GSM auto. and it picked up edge... I was able to get access to the network with data... but the only catch was that it was slow as hell... as it was only edge. I am still working on programming to get the i535 on the tmobile bands... thus far I have not been able to get the phone on 4g or even 3g yet... I will keep you updated though.

have you tried using the hidden menu in the dial pad at all??
There is an app out there that will get access to the menu and allow you to change everything in the phone... but be very careful with this app as it can and will brick your phone if you do not know what you are doing with the app..
Netmonitor --> look for this on the google play store
To change the bands to at least get data on the phone, follow the instructions below:
1. install Netmonitor on the S3
2. open the app
3. hit the menu button
4. select field test
5.select UMTS
6. Select DEBUG SCREEN
7. Select PHONE CONTROL
8. Select NETWORK CONTROL
9. select BAND SELECTION
10. Select either AUTOMATIC or GSM Band Preference
* if you choose automatic the phone will look at the sim card and go from there to get the phone on the network to get data on the phone.
11. Select GSM ALL
This is the thread that I am following at the moment to get the phone on HSPA+ or 3G.. If you have anymore questions then please let me know I will do my best to help you out.

So I've been having the same battery problems as everyone else. I'd like to disable LTE on my ATT 727. Knowing that I could force protocols on prior phones, I went looking for the options to find none. So I decided to flash CM10. I learned after flashing CM10 on my device that the radio needs to be flashed also. I've tried flashing a few different radios but it appears that they simply aren't flashing. Recovery goes through the motions but the version never changes. I've read rumors that I need to do a subsidy unlock but I haven't seen any real confirmation of it. Is that true? A carrier subsidy unlock must be done to flash over the RAT locked ATT radio? I would expect that to be in the noob listts with radios if so.
Baseband version: I727RUXLF3
Kernel: 3.0.49-cyanogenmod-g5756af3
Recovery: CWMR Touch v5.5.0.4 _sk8_
Thanks in advance for the advice. I really want to like this device. Hopefully between wakelock and LTE we can get it useable.

There is a dialer code you can use to access radio settings and turn off lte. I don't remember what it is offhand.
This: *#*#4636#*#*
^^Type into dialer^^
Also, try updating to a newer version of sk8's cwm.

This is the same for pretty much all recent at&t smartphones. Last 5 I have had have had that option blocked. There is a possibility if you pull the sim card out, boot phone back on, use the dial code listed previously to set it and then put sim back in you might get the desired results. Not sure they will stick though.

Perhaps I've misunderstood but I thought I had read that flashing the Roger's radio would fix the problem as it's RAT unlocked (whatever that means).
I can pop the sim out and see what happens.

you could also go to your APN's and switch to the non LTE one
this will stop you from having mobile data altogether in some areas but will give you the desired battery effect
otherwise ive never seen the preferred network option work on a rom

Don't know about Rogers that is why I said at&t. I haven't even been able to get the rat selection screen to give any other option but lte ones on this device. On my lg thrill I was able to get different options by popping the sim out like I suggested but of course that is a non lte phone.
As a side note, I haven't seen much difference in battery life between running lte data or wifi data. I could see this as beneficial if in a non lte area or weak signal area.

Which I have flashed. Does you know what the requirements are to disable LTE, to take advantage of the rat unlocked radio? I don't believe I'm in a good signal area and would like to at least try changing protocols. If I can't get this phone to a 12 hour life, it's going back.

You have to select search manually in the networks menu. Let the phone search and select at&t when it finishes. You can than change network settings. I do it all the time on aokp with a Rogers radio.

Ensure this is set correctly.. Settings > Wireless and Networks > More > Mobile Networks > Data Enabled is checked. Network Mode: LTE/CDMA/EVDO. System Select: Automatic. CDMA Subscription: RUIM/Sim.. Other than that, You perhaps have bad hardware, a bad sim card, or sit in a very fringe 4G area. Perhaps try flashing a different modem or contacting verizon to see how strong your 4G area is and what your options are.
Note: This is AOSP, so some digging may be needed if on Stock/Touchwiz.

tried stock/aosp with multiple basebands on both. On the nexus i get -68dbm with either sim and 20+mbps on 4g consistently. my house never downgrades to 3g at all. its in the middle of a 4g area. on aosp i checked to make sure the option was ruim/sim.
one theory is that the sims are really worn out on the contacts and the gnex just has a springier reader that connects better or they are somehow cached on the nexus - does that make any sense.
i can understand 1 of the units being bad, but 2 of them with the exact same bad behavior.... super unlikely.

I would take it into Verizon and have them troubleshoot the sim.. Perhaps you could even contact tech support and get an S4 out of the deal for the hassle.. Worth a shot.

would an extended battery cause this? they never gave me a battery so i just got the laza zcell extended from amazon.
going to take everything to the verizon store and have them replace sims and see what happens. i'd love to get an s4, but i dont want to lose unlimited data so will try to avoid and upgrade.

tested with a friends stock battery, no luck.
I used this tool https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cc.signalinfo to check the signal status. when i pop my sim in, all the lte related fields go to n/a. when i remove the sim and boot the phone i see numbers there.
looking like bad sims.... flabbergasted that both sims are bad for the s3 but good enough for the nexus.

its the sim. i put in a friends sim and it worked fine. so dumb that both my sims did this.
I'm running 4.4.2 on my LG G2 for AT&T
My wife just got the same phone and her phone shows 4G/LTE Mine shows only 4G
I checked our APN settings for both and they're the same
I checked through the 4636 code through the phone and it shows only the HSPA letters where hers shows up once again with LTE
ANY advice would be great
Try turning data off then on again, it will force it to search for the network.

i tried that one...and i tried the 4646 code and theres no option to change the NETWORK type...this friggin sux...no LTE on this phone and only "4G"...been tryng to figure this one out..
any advice much appreciated.
Maybe replace it?
If this is a new phone that you haven't tampered with, I suggest that you exchange it. New phones don't need any change in settings to connect to LTE out of the box.
Maybe it's a hardware problem. Did this problem just appear out of nowhere? (maybe after the update)?
Like the poster above if its stock return it otherwise reflash to stock to confirm the issue is still there, here's another thread dealing with the same issue http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2702386

you might be 'ROAMING'
this happens to me. i think theres no att tower near me, i think they use someone elses lte tower, but half of the android phones ive used need roaming enabled to connect to lte in my area. try that it might work.. its in the normal settings app under networks enable all roaming. never had any extra charges. att covers the nation and doesnt count local roaming.
BUT i agree with this guy if my suggestion doesnt work
