when Im in Network Lock and choose option 3: PERSO SHA256 OFF wait for 30 sec ...and when I go back I cant see the option 4: NW LOCK NV Data INNITIALLIZ.

I've also bought the unlock code and followed these methods to enter the code:
#7465625*638*UNLOCKCODE#
#0111*UNLOCKCODE#
#7465625*638*#
doesnt work and gives me error "NOT REGISTERED ON NETWORK"


I have a Note 2 i317M, rooted using Odin/Chainfire
on 4.1.2
its Rogers phone and been using on FIDO for a while without any unlocking.
Im on vacation right now in Sri Lanka and Im trying to use on Dialog's network. Its just not recognizing the SIM.
Went to a local samsung authorized dealer here and are asking me $75 
Someone please help, Im here for almost a month and need to get it unlocked.

Hello experts - Does anyone know how (using jelly bean) I could use messaging with WIFI only? If not, what app do you suggest?
DETAILS: I have just purchased a SGII w/ my Virgin Mobile cash acct and have no data plan. I have been assured I can use it like a mini-tablet when in range of a wifi signal. Am testing it out at home so I can get used to the Android apps. I did get updated to jelly bean using the Kies app after the Simple Upgrade crashed my WInXP machine and I had to do a system restore :sad:
Anyway am playing around and would like to use messaging service to take a picture and msg it. I get system error msgs and checking the setup under wireless I see a msg that setup is not complete. I am assuming that therefore MMS cannot be used unless you have a device activated - at least with the generic Messaging app.
I am a brand n00bie to Android so have mercy on me ;) Also if anyone knows where I can get an explanation of how these default apps/widgets work I would be so grateful.Icant find anything on the VM or Samsung sites. Please PM me if you have a link you can provide. THANKS

as of today everytime i unplug my boost mobile galaxy s2 after about 15 seconds a notification pops up and reads "charging paused; voltage too high" .... why is this suddenly happening? ive tried resetting my phone to factory settings and it still does it. maybe my battery is shot?

Besides price, is there any reason to get a Nexus 4 instead of a Galaxy S4 "Google" on June 26th? Is the camera a big step up?

Where is the best place to buy an unlock Samsung Galaxy S4?

Everytime the phone reboots I have to manually change my call log to view only calls and not texts is there a more permanent way to set this?

Hey there,

I picked up an international N-7100 recently and first of all found that the battery life in 4.1.2 is not nearly as stellar as reported before the update.

That said, yesterday I opened the stock browser and found that it dimmed the screen considerably. I checked the settings but nothing had changed (brightness not in automatic). Oddly, when I closed the browser, it suddenly brightened the screen back to normal the moment that the browser closed (could actually see the browser brighten up before it disappeared).

This has continued and there is no fix for it that I can find. Now using Chrome. Anyone have a similar experience?

Cheers
Smoochy

Does anybody that have the retail mode having a hard time turning off the Galaxy Note 2 or the Galaxy S 4? Our store has the demo running all day and then we want to turn it off at night. Security restrictions in the demo mode prevent us from doing that.

I tried disabling the demo in settings and closing the app from app manager, but we still have the same security issue. At this point we can either leave the phone plugged in and let it run all night or unplug the phone and just wait for the battery to die. Either option is not ideal.

Anybody have any ideas on how to turn the phone off? (Taking out the battery is not an option because it's attached to a security claw and very time consuming to remove).

Guys, I need some help. I had lovely working S3, but my sd slot was funny, and started to disconnect my sd. So I gave it to repair at my network store. Because of two literally tiny cracks on the screen my warranty is voided, so it would cost me 130 quid to fix it with Samsung tech, my network store offered their technician to fix it for 50. I went for 50. And how stupid. He fixed my sd slot, but whatever he poked, my phone is freezing now every 5-15 minutes. Usually when I use some apps, but it freezes sometimes even with just moving around screens. I stormed back in to the store, left my phone with them to check it. Now technician says it is digitizer. Is it actually possible, that cracks I got more than 7 months ago suddenly stared acting up? Is it possible, that broken digitizer is working and then suddenly freezing whole phone (cant use the buttons either)? They said its my fault, because I dropped the phone, and its now acting up, although it was perfect before. I don't even have more arguments, cos I wouldn't know if it's possible. Any suggestions?

Is it just my phone? I can't feel the phone vibrate if it's in my belt holster or pocket. Or sometimes even on the table.

I just bought my galaxy s3, do you think its better to update its software?

XDA might have been a more appropriate place to post this but i find that site confusing and i don't even have an account. I'm sure you guys can help me. I have a Galaxy S II T989D from Telus. I'm currently on Jedi Mind trick rom. I want to unroot and get rid of the rom and would like to install the new jelly bean update. I'm sick and tired of this garbage battery life and Jelly bean is pretty cool. Also, this is very important, while unrooting and installing jb, will all of my system memory be deleted? Please help me out by sending a link or explaining how to do it.

-Thanks

Thanks

Looking to pick up a Note 2 in the near future and I have some questions about Samsung's plastics and display panels.

In the past, when buying plastic items, color made a difference as to how strong the plastic turned out. If an item was available in both clear and colored plastic, the clear always seemed of poorer quality. Colored plastic always seemed to be less brittle than the clear plastic, and black plastic seemed to be even better than the colored types. With that said, has anyone had any experiences with either the titanium gray or white Samsung plastics having issues regarding the strength of the plastic, or possibly any yellowing issues with the white plastic?

One video I watched referred to the white cased Note 2 as having a larger black border around the screen. I'm guessing the presenter was trying to say that the LCD on the white model was a tiny bit smaller than on his gray version. It also appeared that the white phone's screen was a good amount brighter than the gray phone's screen. This was commented upon. I do realize that surrounding border colors can make screens look different, but I was wondering if anyone with both colors of phones could see if this is in fact the case, or hopefully an optical illusion. I ask, as I know with LCD TV sets, a manufacturer will sometimes use different brands of LCD panels for the exact same model TV. Some panels are great, and some are garbage. It's know as the "LCD Panel Lottery"!

Lastly, the gray version looks like it has some clear coating on top of the gray, while the white version just looks like uncoated white plastic, to me. Is my observation correct?
And as to finger oils, smudges, and scratches, is one color superior to the other, or are they about the same?

Yes, I most likely will put the phone in some sort of case, but I'd still like to know about the strengths and/or weaknesses of the case materials by their color ( I currently have my black iPhone 3GS in an Otterbox Defender, and some sand or grit got in between the case and phone, and left little dents all over the back inside surface of the Otterbox and the phone's back panel). My wife's white iPhone in a similar case got grit inside, and although it dented the Otterbox similarly to mine, her phone was left untouched.

How do you tell the difference between a Galaxy S 111 made for the US market from one made for the international market?
