This may be an easy answer for some, but I have been scratching my head about this for a while now. My dad does surveying for farm fields, and is always in a place with no service when he can clearly see a tower a mile or two away. He was always frustrated that he couldn't get any service, so he went up to Alltel "back in the day" and complained about it to the manager and explained his situation. He said that the manager actually took his phone in the back and programmed it so that it would pick up service off of practically any tower. He said that was the best coverage he has ever had. A while after that, the manager position was refilled with someone new and his phone was starting to give out on him after constant abuse outdoors (mostly). When he traded for a new phone and asked for the same treatment, the new manager told him that there was no possible way to do that and denied him any special treatment. Let's just say he was VERY frustrated to have to go back to the spotty coverage. I've always wondered if there was a way to perform the same mod to a phone that the manager did back when. I recently ran across that secret menu that allows you to change the preferred network type. I found one option that says: GSM/CDMA auto (PRL). I selected that option, and rebooted my phone to see if it would survive reboot. It did not. I figure that Verizon would monitor this anyways and if they saw that you were accessing other towers (if it is possible), they would ban you or shut off your service or whatever they do. Could anyone shed any light on this issue? My dad needs it. Badly.
Thanks in advance,
Adam

I guess this is a bit harder of a question than I thought.

Simple answer now is no. The hardware antenna is made to only work one one version of signal. Back in the day almost all cells were cdma.
Ah. Well that sucks. Too bad I'm not nifty. I'd be cracking this phone open and installing another antenna to work in tandem with the factory installed. But I guess that still doesn't solve anything if you can't get it to operate on the other service without Big Brother finding out.

Yeah no way to make it work with out activating it on another network as well. That is if you could get the system to even see the other antenna.
Question answered thread closed
Used Superoneclick rooted two of these Skyrockets Running ST two months ago.Ive kept the 2.3.5 that came with it,and just put on golauncher or spb shell 3d.Never been happier.Both phones speedtest between 3-8m,just perfect for a non LTE smaller city..Just couldnt be happier.
But the incidents in the last three days have turned my jubilation to a bleak grey,crushed existence.Im seeing red and i ran here.I pray to the xda gods for wisdom and patience.
Few days ago being the noob i am (few easy roots in 3 years) i decided to meddle with my precious skyrocket,and its spb shell..Was getting errors of various sorts trying to re-install apps i shouldve payed for.(from now on i vow to pay for each and every paid apk i install-im so done) Including spb-though i payed for it on my g account,it was on my girls phone with my gmail as well, which i paid for it but only to be on her phone not mine...
Long story short i went arount deleting caches im sure i shouldnt and possibly cwm stuff too..i have no idea what i deleted exactly,or remember, because im a noob and an idiot.
Everything works fine on the phone but the one thing that matters the most to me..the data..the internet is so slow...Speedtest used to be around 4m or 6m,now im lucky if its .1m Takes 5-15 minutes for a small market app to download..
I can send and receive pic messages,make phone calls etc etc...
But my speed is gone... I called straight talk and of course they told me they dont throttle,instead they would cut my phone right off if i had downloaded too much..
I even tried changing apns,i used my girls sim,and that didnt even do it..
So finally i unrooted after one factory restore... still crawling..
so i just did another factory restore,still crawling..
One thing i can say is that at&t was trying to OTA a huge update in the previous days...but it wasnt installing...Maybe it installed something?
HELP ME puh puh pleeez
One simple question. Can you get into download mode? If you so you can flash the phone back to stock. You can download the firmware 2.3.6 from www.sammobile.com Just do a search on sgh-i727 and it bring up the list. you just need to make an account to get the download. I would start over and start fresh.
Also you may want to think about what you have running, what all apps you have running in the background that could be stealing up some of the data.

thank you i will do this now brb
If you need more help, shoot me a pm and I will walk you through it.
ok well you asked if i could get into download mode... Which i just tried (for testing purposes-and without getting Odin etc etc)
it is saying DOWNLOADING-DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET....What do i do now?
the odin link is dead and am downloading the other stuff on my pc
You can just do a battery pull to get out of download mode and restart the phone.
Download odin from here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17548951&postcount=1
it still says downloading after pulling battery...should i unplug usb?
yes, because you do not have all the files yet. But this is good to know and it should not be any problems getting you back to square one.
If you're on stock 2.3.5 just download the kj2 modem and reflash in cwm no need for Odin.

Sounds like your cell network went to doodoo is all. Didn't sound like you were messing with it bad enough to break anything.
so let me ask you all this question...
If in fact my cell company is throttling me, thats usually a month-long thing? or is it permanente????

That is what i am understanding too!
But there is no other explanation for my issues...
Like i said,me and my gf both have new skyrockets,both for two months.
both have ST sims,same apns settings..
Her sim and phone are fine..her sim in mine is slow
MY sim in HER phone is slow...
Did two factory restores and upgraded from 2.3.5 to ICS..Still nothing..
It can only be throttling or hardware...
Wifi is fine...
So... what is it? Hardware or Throttling..i dont know
I can tell you the posts over @ Howards forum (straight talk forum) are growing rapidly for throttling issues...
Beleieve me,i REALLY want to beleive ST doesnt throttle,i think they may have finally started tho....
This may be a stretch,
But is there a place on xda where i could download the correct apn settings for a straight talk sim in this skyrocket?
yes yes i know there are many places where i can go find the settings to manually put them in,but for various reasons, i would like the actual file to load in apn backup and restore app....
Anyone know where i could snag that?
I just got one of theses. Anyone know how to root? I had an LG thrill with acihazard 4 oc to 1300 that met with an unfortunate accident involving bricks. Loved that damn phone :,(

ICS update killed the ability to use 3rd party Tethering apps. Very annoying.
Lol to the guy above me. don't ya think it's kind of why they push these kind of updates out. they don't like third party tethering apps. then they can't track your data.
I wish we could find someone to figure a downgrade method to go back to 2.3.6 stock with root.

Does anybody know how to view the hidden menu on this phone? I am running the 4.0.4. Rooted and I still cannot figure out how to access it. All I really want is to turn off 4Glte on this phone because I live in a no 4G city and my battery is being wasted on 4G scanning. I have tried LTE toggle apps but they get blocked and a little notification saying "access to system info is prohibited " pops up. Being rooted I should have a way to bypass that, but I have no idea what file or app I need to edit to do so. If anyone out here can help me I will be forever grateful. The boys over at android forums have not been able to help. I'm beginning to think there is no hope. If anyone knows the secret code to view the hidden menu or just simply has a way to shut off the program that denies me from viewing system info it would be awesome. Going from a gnex to this in effort to get better battery life has backfired thus far.
Thanks in advance.

Not sure if this will work on this particular phone but Google "any cut apk" then install any cut and use create new shortcut option. This works one some phones not all.
Wow. I should have read this whole post huh!! Sorry any cut is still fun to play with for a few seconds tho!
I got jb but you should just be able to go to settings and then to mobile networks and change it from lte or global to cmda. That will hit you with 3g and not 4g.

See there is no option to switch from 3g only to 4g/3g modes. That's why I am going crazy trying to find it. I have used any cut and other apps to be able to find this hidden "test mode" menu that I have been digging for. Unfortunately the phone info menu in this setting is still blocked. Every time I try to view it I get a little popup saying "access to phone info is prohobited" thus presenting my problem. I have root explorer and I am not afraid to use it. Does anybody here know what program or permission is prohibiting me? I will edit/delete it as soon as it is located. Nobody is prohibiting me from viewing settings on my phone... At least once I find out how to gain access to them.
Try this app, it might help you with some data features.

adb install LGProvisioning.APK
then look for LG Data Tool under your apps.

wrong placeHi,
I am new to all this so please forgive what's probably a repeat. I have had a browse but can't find an answer to my specific problem.
I got a nearly new note 3 on e-bay and only saw the 'doesn't work in UK' warning after I bid (I know, stupid or what, but I swear it wasn't there before I bis as I was looking out for it). Anyway, I decided to take it on the chin and do what I needed to do to make it work.
I read around, this site is great, and decided that I would need to root and was quite prepared to do so but, then the phone arrived and the confusion set in.
The phone doesn't ask for an unlock Sim password or have the screen shown in the 'How to... you youtube videos' I don't have to dismiss anything to get into the phone and play with it. It's connected to my home network fine and and I can play with it to my hearts desire. It does everything in fact except make phone calls (my Dad thinks this is hilariously funny, a phone you can't use as a phone hahaha).
When I do try to make calls it says it is not registered to the network but when I have gone into settings to check it says it is!!!
I don't want to go to trouble of rooting if it doesn't need it but, what do I need to do!?!
Also there is the new kitkat thing that's thrown more confusion into my little life, if I root will I get that and if I don't, do I or should I care?
What good is a phone that doesn't make calls?
Any advice, hints or tips with this would be great x
So implying from what you've written on nearly new note 3? So it's secondhand? Why not try to factory reset it? If it that didn't help might as well flash a new firmware on it before you go rooting.

when phones are tagged like that in the UK (especially on eBAY) it generally means they are IMEI Blacklisted, therefore they won't work on any UK network ever.
If you are lucky, it's not reported stolen, cause if it is then there can be issues, I have seen people buy stolen phones and have their GPS on only for the Police to show up about it.
My advice, is go through eBAY and claim for goods not as advertised and stolen merchandise, the seller probably won't reply to the dispute and you'll get your money back.
Lol. Root it, otherwise what's the point of having a phone you can't use as a phone

how can you tell if your usb debugging is on, on your phone?
I literally went through every options on settings, looking through the booklet and nothing.
if its possible id like to root it without hooking it up to a computer?
I use to have older droids, and I could download apps and root it on the phone those were the days :good::good:

I tried to rom a ascend y straight talk phone it ended up broke. I tried it with 3 different ascend y phones. any guide for that for the s3 or with my experience just leave it alone and don't touch it?
the keyboard
is it just me or is the keyboard slow when you type for texting? it cant keep up with me....all my other phones could and the Ram memory is very low too....it very's from 300MB-450MB out of 1.5GB.
is their a good way to make my signal stronger?
I live out in the boonies and every network I have had...it got great signal except Verizon...the most I get is 2 bars mostly just 1 very annoying....(when I had the ascend Y Verizon phone I found a way to boost my signal and I literally got 3-4 bars out where I lived until I tried to flash it with a rom "oopps my bad")

P.S.
I don't know if its locked or unlocked (bootloader)
Checking if USB Debugging is available is just a matter of going to Settings > Developer Options and then looking for a tick mark checked near the option that reads "USB Debugging."
Unfortunately, I cannot speak for root on the Straighttalk SIII being as that I do not own the device (rather I own the Verizon variant). However, a quick forum search might turn up some results...
EDIT: It appears that there is something called "Cydia Impactor" that takes advantage of a couple bugs found in previous versions of android. According to other threads with talk about it, it seems that it works in general for gaining root. Source: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47412631&postcount=7. Note: Do install a superuser manager on your device right after obtaining root (assuming you gain it) as you don't want everything to have root access!
As for ROMs, what I stated above holds true for these as well. In theory, with an unlocked bootloader (if you have one), then flashing roms is only a matter of checking compatibility with your phone. But I'll save the details about that for now...
The stock keyboard didn't work out for me either. However on Google Play, you can download more keyboards that may prove to be more convenient for you!
As for signal strength, I am currently unaware of any way to actually boost it... However, I do agree that the signal strength I get on my SIII is slightly weaker compared some of the other phones on the market out there, but with a call to Verizon, you may be able to get a signal booster.
Hope that helps

Hmm, upon some searching, I found something called "Framaroot" that one can install on a phone (it's an app) in hopes of achieving root access. It supposedly executes various exploits to get SuperSu and the su binary loaded.

For rooting the sch-s968c samsung galaxy s3 from straight talk, and everything on roms this is the link you want. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2516498
Cydiaimpactor method does work. that is how I rooted mine. Works great. I haven't played with roms yet because I have not found the need. But these guys over at that link are playing around finding out what works and what does not.
As far as rooting without the computer I have not seen a way yet. But the cydiaimpactor method takes 4 to 5 seconds, and is very very simple.
There is not a lot more info I can give you because there is not a lot of info in the rooting world about the sch-s968c. If you find anything please share!

Maybe the guys over there will know if it works with the sch-s968c. Let me know if you try it out not and how out goes!

Hope ya get it rooted. You could try poot also.. Need no computer and it claims to root all/most QualCom devices. Just know that anything could happen while modding the phone and if stuff were to go down it would take a computer to recover if you did hit worse case.
Impactor is by far the quickest easiest way if you know what you are doing and have access to a PC. However if no access to PC try framaroot as suggested. Go to the framaroot thread here on xda and look for the download link in first post. If you read the first post it tells you the newest version out, always read first instead of expecting to be spoonfed or just jumping in this unprepared. Install the app on your phone and run it. If it fails then you need to find a computer to use Impactor
Hope this helps!

Okay again sorry for double posting, this app is messing up on me and won't let me edit my status for some odd reason but, anyway. I downloaded poor and minstro II. AFTER every thing downloaded it couldn't find a path. I tried it 10 times or more. Same answer every time :banghead:
