anyone else having this?
it has been trying to activate for 6 hours now, just keeps re-trying
probably just so many are trying to activate right now but i have bought release day phones the last few years in a row and never had this
Mine did that all day. Once I got home and left it alone to charge for a bit, it went through a few boots and finished. I wouldn't worry about it.

They actually sent me home from the store before I noticed it. A couple of reboots today fixed it, but then it just proceeded to download all the Sprint bloatware and compleatly hosed my home screen setup. After that the "activation not complete" notice went away.

Same issue here. I called both verizon and htc... they gave me the same answer. It is a roll out issue. Apparently because its in phases... whatever. My first tbolt came down fine; this is a replacement for a broken power button and now nothing. but at least I still have free tether! HA HA fail/win you decide.
Drop down to 1X and then search for it. Once you find the update, switch back to 3G/4G to expedite the download. Worked on my girlfriend's Thunderbolt.

Yep! i was rooted up until yesterday. While rooted I checked for & successfully detected it. But I rejected. Did a full backup using TiB and ROMManager first then unrooted. Now that I am unrooted, I cannot detect the update anymore. Been trying for 24hrs.
Just going to give up and reroot using the rooted update.

dropping to 1X doesn't work for me. However, here's how you drop to 1X:
Dial *#*#4636#*#*
Then go to "Phone Info"
Scroll down and choose "CDMA Only" from the Drop Down. Note the setting before you change it so as to revert later on.
Good Luck and let us know if it works for you.

Thanks Kaptain.. I gave it try and got nothing still. I'm planning on rooting soon but not just yet...
Call support and make sure the imei is correct for your device... That was my issue.

same here... having hard time forcing the update. running stock.
rebooted, turned down to CDMA only, tried it all and doesn't work.
the first update a couple of months ago worked fine when i tuned down to CDMA only, but doesn't work this time.

haha, yes it does. If the battery cover doesn't sit properly, your 4g antenna doesn't work worth crap because it has contacts in it....
Reason why half of the extended battery covers don't work...
God I hope your other 3 posts are more useful...
My update came threw this morning. I am not sure if this is a coincidence but when my green light came on for a full battery charge the update came threw when I checked it .

So, I love this phone but have one issue that seems odd to me. As an example I am currently running pandora and tried opening the xda app which caused what appeared to be a fc but my phone kept running pandora and went to a black screen for a minute then a faded screen which eventually lead to a drop in data (briefly). Every thing was briefly unresponsive... It acted exactly like a reboot without rebooting. When I was able to unlock the screen I had no data service (briefly) and all apps closed. Xda app often fc's which is not a big deal to me but causing the black screen and data drop is concerning to me. I also had this happen when opening the phone info app while running nothing else. Should I be concerned about this? Software or hardware? I am running stock.
Edit: Have also had to reboot due to dropped data but it may have been during a switch between 4G or 3g even 1x.

same thing happens to me, not sure why. I went through and froze all bloat with titanium backup, and it still happens
It's not something I can make happen, just happens randomly. I have 5 days to return this so I would like to figure it out. If a software update would fix it I would just deal with it for now but I'm not sure what the problem is.

I just talked to Samsung on their live chat and they recommended I return the phone and exchange for new. I am still in the 14 day return window so I will ask for brand new even if I have to pay their $35 fee.

The policy is there is no $35 reatocking fee for the same phone swap. Don't let them tell you different. Your phone is DOA. Its a warranty exchange.

No.. tons of us have data issues. My phone hot booted in my hands the other night and it was the first time I experienced it, but I've seen reference to it before.
Your issues are not isolated.
I gave up with tech support and wishing a new phone would fix it and turned to third party development. My first time flashing a ROM. I used synergy and have been really thrilled with it.
Sucks to have to fix a brand new phone. Sucks to be a beta tester for Samsung and vzw.
Sorry for your troubles though.

Ahh.. no. Sorry. Have you tried wiping/restoring the phone? Lame, I know...
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
I did not try wiping the phone because the first one was only nine days old and I had not done much with it. The second one lasted a day and now I am on my third. I really hope this does not happen again. The people at the Verizon store said they have never heard of this..... They think it's an app... I only have 12 apps installed. I don't know what I'm going to do if this happens with this phone. This is frustrating. I do not want to get stuck with a phone that has a problem like this.

Mine does the same thing. Besides the stock stuff, I loaded Pandora, Google Music, Amazon MP3, and Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean: Master of the Seas game. It was nice enough to wait until just after the 14 day return window to start locking up and misbehaving. The only way I could get it back was to do a battery pull. Of course, when I brought it to the store it ran like a champ! If you can get another replacement, make sure it says 'UPDATED' on the box. Those have a newer kernel / baseband and seem to be working better.
All of mine have said updated on the box. I am trying to limit apps for now and will slowly add them if I have no issues.

Need some help here...been running AOKP unofficial just fine for a while then all of a sudden my phone starts acting crazy and the flash will go off and then start vibrating and try to reboot, then it kinda gets stuck in a mini boot loop. I have to hold down the power button to get it to fully reboot properly. So i thought it might be a bad app. I uninstalled some apps and it kept doing it. So I wiped and installed the latest AOKP unofficial rom. it did it a couple of times even with no apps on the phone. One thing ive also notice is when I push the power button to sleep/lock, It comes right back on to the lockscreen...Thoughts?
Power button, it's in the beginning stages of being totally stuck

My Old Skyrocket I'm letting my son use, is rebooting also. I notice if i barely touch the power button, it wants to go black, or even prompts to reboot. Extremely sensitive. I'll give this a go within the next few days and hopefully this will get him back in business.

I had no issues with my HTC Evo LTE being rooted and depositing checks with the Bank of America mobile app. My galaxy 5 has pretty much been rooted since they day I got it back in May and I haven't been able to get deposits to work. The bank's mobile team reached out to help me but once they learned the device was rooted they threw their hands up and said they couldn't troubleshoot the phone because being rooted and having developer options turned on interferes with the way the app works. Has anyone ever heard of this? The app works fine other than when I take a pic of the front and back of my checks and go to deposit it keeps saying to center check in all four corners...
Ahh, so that's why I wasn't able to deposit a check lol. Did you try turning off the developer options, then trying?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
No I didn't and I actually found out it has nothing to do at all with being rooted. I figured they were using that as a cop out anyways...
It boils down to their app not being calibrated correctly for the phone. If I hold the phone 2 feet away from the check then it'll work. They've updated the app about 3 times since this phone came out and I think 1 or 2 of those were supposed to be patched to fix the new phone issues. Evidently they still don't have it sorted yet.

Go into settings and toggle developer options off and reboot. After I did this, my check was deposited on the first try. When you are done you can enable developer options again.

I was on YouTube for a while, and I noticed I lost all bars and everything. I still have WiFi connections obviously, but I cannot get service back. I've reflashed my ROM, tried a different ROM, powered down my phone and took the sim card out and put it back in. I'm not not sure what to do.
EDIT: It seems like it's working now, but I have an average of one bar. Any help would still be appreciated. Thanks.

It was weird man, one night about 2 weeks ago here at work my signal wouldn't work at all, nothing I did changed it. I changed modems and roms nearly all night. Then an hour before my shift ended the service magically was restored. It was really strange. I'm not sure what to tell you on this, I did some research and looked around but found nothing on it
