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)

Wifi and mobile signal

I have seen a couple of comments around here about wifi problems.
I am not only seeing wifi drop for no reason at all but also having great difficulty in getting any signal at all for phone calls/texts.
Have other people experienced this and are there any ways to fix it?
I have unlocked bootloader and rooted but havnt flashed anything at all, I haven't even got a custom recovery.
Any help will be appreciated as this is currently making my phone useless

[Q] at&t microcell & custom roms

hello, ive searched to find an answer so I apologize in advance if this question has been answered.
I have not rooted and installed a custom rom in a few years, reason being is I use a at&t microcell at home and at that time, the phone I had would not pickup the microcell as a primary signal. my question is, with the lg g3, if rooted and custom rom installed, will that interfere or take away from the phones ability to connect and work with my at&t microcell?
id like to get rid of this stock rom its making me sick already, thanks
I've run every rom available to us and have not had any issue connecting to the micro cell with any of them. Flash away

T-Mobile uses VoLTE (voice over) and it must be supported by software in its phones, if it isnt, it will switch to 4G (H/H+). Does the VZW NE support H/H+?

I have no idea, but i have alway seen 4g lte on it and on call data stops.
Note: i am only getting lte, no 3g, h/h+ and every time i am on call my mobile network type goes to UMTS.

Yup, even though Verizon LTE phones are unlocked out of the box they are not smooth sailing most of the time. They mess with them somehow to make some things inconvenient. You'll have to search around for the solution by people in the same boat as you. That's what I had to do when I was using the Droid Maxx on T-Mobile.

My advice to you would be to not limit yourself to searching only those with a note edge but instead expand your search to anyone using a Verizon LTE phone on t-mobile. It is usually something similar that is causing the problem therefore something similar that will resolve it.

The Note Edge only has 1 antenna and on Verizon phones you have to install and subscribe to Advanced calling in order to get simultaneous voice and data. And since Verizon's VoLTE requires Band 13 I believe, you are most likely going to be out of luck.

Can I switch SM-P907A (AT&T) to SM-P900 (WiFi) and use other roms?

I ordered an Note Pro 12.2 WiFi on eBay, got an insanely good deal, but when it showed up, it was the AT&T version. I got such a good deal on it that I don't want to return it simply because it's not the WiFi version, and it has a better CPU to boot.
My question... I'm rooted on Kitkat (4.4.2) And I've searched everywhere for roms for it but they don't exist. Does anyone know what would happen if I tried to install a P900 WiFi TWRP recovery on it, and also install P900 roms on it? I'm with Verizon so I don't care about the cell radio features, and the AT&T "no service" issues are really annoying.
If anyone has tried this, or knows if it would work I'd love to hear about it. I haven't had the best of luck fixing bricked devices, and I definitely don't wanna brick this one.
Thanks!
You can't. It will fail. Locked boot loader.

Different processors so no P900 Rom is ever going to work on it.
Best bet is to wait for root and uninstall AT&T crap.
