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.

Could we just technically switch sim cards?

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.

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?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
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.
So my GS3 on Verizon is rooted running latest clean rom. I flew to Chicago and all of a sudden, i cant make or receive calls, I can receive text but can't send, and i have fast 4G data... What's the deal? It's been a day I thought maybe it was confused with towers. I called Verizon yesterday and it was no help at all. Right now I'm stuck using Google voice for texting and Skype for calling. Any help would be great!
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Well, Skype no longer works for free... Now I have no calling ability... Any ideas?

You can try flashing back to stock using section 5 in this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762709. After that if your phone still won't connect you can try putting in this dialer code:*2767*3855#
This will of course totally wipe your phone and everything on it, but should restore service.

Isn't that only if the IMEI is removed? I still have hat and have service... I just don't want to try all that if it's unnecessary
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Those directions won't work if your IMEI was lost. There is a different thread for that in the development section. The directions I gave should restore your service. You could try different fixes like flashing a different modem in recovery, but it sounds like it's not a modem issue since you have data. You could try doing a factory reset, clearing cache and dalvik and reflashing the ROM in recovery first. If you have any nandroid backups where you had service you could try restoring to a backup.
Alright, I looked over the instructions and decided to just try re flashing modem... It worked! Thanks for the jump start in the thought process... It was tough without a phone on vacation

So should I try the step 5? Will it be difficult to re root? I really don't understand this issue... I mean it literally worked to make a phone call and text, then it did not work.... Any quick fix would be greatly appreciated!!
Could this be a bad sim?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Could be a bad sim. It won't be difficult to reroot at all. That guide I linked to has instructions. I would go ahead and try flashing back to complete stock using section 5 and using the dialer code I gave above if it isn't fixed right away when you flash. If that doesn't fix it, then it probably is a bad sim.
Odined back to stock and made 2 phone calls... Working on rerooting, damn thing tried to update! I went back to ICS for ease of reroot. Thanks for the help!!
Wow! And we're back to not working this morning... did the re provisioning, still not working! Call Verizon, they try to repeat the troubleshooting... Tell me it can't be a bad sim card and that maybe it's the network... I'M IN CHICAGO! I think there'd be more complaints.... Anyways, do you think I could go to a store and get them to trade me a SIM card?? Oddly enough, my lockscreen says "roaming" even after all this provisioning...
People have gotten newer sim cards for much more trivial problems than yours, you should be able to get one. I wouldn't really know much else to do besides just getting a replacement phone.
Well, just an update... Got a new sim card, still didn't work. They're sending me a replacement phone
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Well that should finally fix it. These phones seem to have a mind of their own with each one having its own little quirks. I guess it must be the different hardware types or manufacturers. Who knows. Hope the next one serves you better.
Hello xda community. I recently won a bid for a galaxy s 2 skyrocket on ebay. When I got the phone I was not able to connect to any mobile net works, I have at&t. I don't know where to start to trouble shoot the problem. I don't know if it is a hardware or firmware issue, though I've flashed many roms kernels and radios trying to fix the issue. I can connect to the microcell in my house but i can't get signal anywhere else I go. Any ideas? sugguestions? tips? The guy I bought the phone from said he'd refund my money if I return the phone, but I don't want to have to return it if there is nothing wrong with it.
Thanks in advance.
You have an active sim card, right? If so it sounds like a hardware issue.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
Does it have a custom ROM? If it is a 4.2.2 variant, you may want to install the UCMC 1 radio.

Yes, I actually went to an att store to get a new sim to make sure it wasn't the sim.
So this came up about a week ago. Don't k kw why and what it is. How do I fix/get rid of this. Why did it happen? Searched these forum couldn't really find anything

Probably, you placed a non verizon sim card. This app is detecting a type of card and is reportin this. You can either stop app, through Apps manager or freeze it through Titanium backup.
Or, maybe you did something else.
Or maybe something is wrong with the sim?

Don't know the app and this sim is fine.

So did unlocking the bootloader fix this? Getting the sim from the store doesn't make the sim error proof. They can go bad. Anyways, I'm assuming that if you did the factory reset mentioned in your other thread and are still seeing this then it's either a problem with the sim or the phone.

So what is it?
New everything. OG7...new baseband kernel...I haven't seen any new things outright. Phone seems more responsive... Holds an LTE signal better in my area. Still looking.
3 options in Notifications On Lockscreen now...the new option to Hide Content is present
I can confirm an update is available on mine too. I'm currently on OG5 and downloading a new OTA now. I'm in Oregon.
Memory leak issue fixed?

Have you disabled any apps particularly system apps? Maybe something was inadvertently disabled and is keeping the update from being able to install. Do you receive any error message or codes?

posting that this update allowed for new locked LTE bands to become unlocked. Is this possible? I need to know because updating the phone is going to be a big hassle since mine is rooted and cannot update without first restoring it..
Please let me know if this is possible and if you find any links confirming it.
