Looking for some help / advice..
I own a Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3. I recently had it flashed over to PagePlus and ported my number from At&T. Occasionally my phone says that I am roaming, I've had a couple dropped calls, and I am unable to send picture messages. The company that did the flash uses HoudiniSoft. I exchanged my old iPhone4 for the flash + some cash. I'm starting to think I got fleeced.
I also bought a S2 for my wife, and had it flashed by the same place to Boost Mobile. She has been complaining about her phone also. I'm starting to think that it's the software that they are using.
I'm not very knowledgeable about this stuff. I wish there was more information out there because I would love to learn. Does anyone know how I can correct these issues? Thanks much for any help!

Sorry for posting if this is already asked, but I am at work and my upgrade is up soon. Could get in huge troble for being on here but was dying to ask...... I am between buying the Galaxy nexus or the note and flashing it to Verizon if possible. I have the unlimited data with Verizon using my fascinate and do not want to lose it by switching carriers. I want the note bad, sooooooo bad. I'm willing to pay if I can flash it. I'm not really looking forward to the nexus as I don't think it has swipe. Swipe is a must for me. Any suggestions? I don't really have a sweet tooth so I'm not so concerned with ICS I will hack it when the time comes if no update is released. If not flashable to Verizon, could you recommend another with similar specs?
Thanks, Essyg
no, you can't flash the note to verizon...you can unlock it to run on T-mobile though. If you're looking to flash a phone, only phones you can use would be on Sprint or you could just get a verizon phone.
Thank you...
Can you recommend one? I am not sure which one to get.... Should I just wait to see if anything new is coming out?
only phones I'd consider from sprint is the htc evo design or the samsung s2 epic 4G touch. They don't compare to the note though...
Hi all,
I just went out to get a Galaxy SII and ended up with something different. I got the Telstra 4G model with model code I9210-T. It is a totally different phone, physically bigger and a faster CPU.
I did a search and couldn't really find any helpful info, does anyone know if I can get a ROM for this? I have rooted the phone no worries but I'm concerned because I originally wanted the SII for its community support and available mods. Having this seemingly different model worries me that it won't be supported.
Can anyone tell me where I stand with this and whether or not I should keep it or get a different one? Will this see the same level of support as the SII or is it a Telstra only kind of thing?
Thanks
Tim
Hey Tim,
A few of us have started a thread here with trying different ROM's.

Hi all!
I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3G on AT&T and Ive been considering getting an SII Skyrocket unactivated from a friend. What I'd like to do is use the sim from the Galaxy Tab from time to time to use it to access websites etc while Im out of the house without having to bring my tablet. Does anyone know if this would work?

Should may find your answer here.
we all should be polite enough to press thanks for anyone who helped US.
Thanks for the link but what I see there is instructions on how to root the Galaxy which I don't mind doing.
I guess it doesn't necessarily have to be the Skyrocket, but really what I want is to be able to use a tablet sim card on an Android handset. What I would like to do is simply use the handset with the tablet sim so that I can be on a data-only tablet plan.
on nov.27th 2014 i bought my daughter a galaxy s4 for her bday thinking it would work sence her other Strait talk phone did but no it only works off att towers when her other off verizon towers
Hi, these type of things you really need to call your service provider to get a clear answer. We cannot help you with this type of thing.
Good luck,

Hello,
I plan to switch from T-Mobile to Sprint after being with T-Mobile for almost 10 years. The 2 main reasons I'm looking to switch from T-Mobile to Sprint, is that Sprint is the only other provider that offer native WiFi calling (not Skype, etc) and also have a much better 4G network.
That being said, I have been using Samsung phones for the past few years and love them (although I really haven't used anything else besides these 2 models and a Blackberry) - first was the Galaxy SII and now the Note 3. I see that Sprint offer the Note 3 and Note 4 as well as the Note Edge, the Nexus 6, LG G Flex, and other Phablet phones.
My question is this (I know this question has been asked a million times before), of the Phablet phones offered by Sprint, are there any better or recommended models for someone like myself who would like to 'root' them, or even install a custom ROM? (on my Note 3, I only rooted it, but was looking at installing a custom ROM to mainly get rid of all the bloatware). I see that some forums recommend 'not' going with Samsung because of Knox concerns when rooting.
Thanks in advance!
