yeah.......

Well hope this isn't your case but my girl got a mytouch slide off of craigslist and it worked fine for about a month then it said that. Had no service .and wouldn't connect to the network . She called t mobile and they said the previous owner had a unpaid bill so they blocked the imei until the bill was paid off . did you call t mobile and asked

yeah when i was talking to them i told them all about the problem and that i tried all the soft resets hard resets etc. and they looked at the phone imei and if i wanted to get it replaced by tmobile i'd need to ask the person i bought it from to transfer the insurances but i didn't save his number. so they said the only other option i had was to call samsung, and they did like a factory reset and it still didn't work.

i got ya just trying to help i hope you get it worked out and everything

ODIN back to stock ROM. Back up your apps using Titanium Backup, and copy that folder to your computer.
That way, when you get a new phone, you can have all the apps.
Or use ROM Manager, back up, get those files to your computer, and flash back to Stock ROM.
but idk for sure. Just trying to help.

[Q] How to return Vibrant with warranty?

I have ATT and not T-mobile I want to get the same phone
i have warranty
can i call them and tell them it bricked or do i have to be a customer?
I did this with my G1 but i had tmobile at the time
You have to be a tmobile customer, because they ask you for your account details while doing the phone call
I know my Dad opened an account for my uncle
could i call them and say that my uncle had the phone and give them the account details?
Call Samsung instead as they do not require a t-mobile account. You have a year warranty with Samsung.
I already did
they just fix the problem not replace the phone

You have to be a customer. When you call they have to verify its under warranty, troubleshoot then if necessary replace if warranted. And all that cant be done without the phone being used on an active line. I know this for a fact because i work as csr for t-mobile

Use your uncles sim card for a week then it should be on their systems that ur uncle is using a vibrant then maybe returning it, I may be wrong

It will work, but only if the warranty check on the imei comes back as still under warranty. But if your uncle has php on his line, then it will work.

Technically you are right. But since OP is not a T-mo customer it absolutely wont work. Let's say if someone who is a customer of t-mo bought the phone and then sold it to someone else. If the phone was still under warranty the new owner could use the warranty if the original owner was willing to talk to customer care for him so the customer rep could go into the account to verify the phone is still under warranty. I've done that for a few customers. Its kind of a ***** of a process though. Since the OP's uncle isn't the original owner and OP isn't a t-mobile customer it wont work. Sorry dude!!

True, but if the uncles line has the extended warranty, and is using the vibrant at the time he calls in, then technically he can get an exchange if troubleshoot calls for it

Insurance is another thing, its the extended warranty that matters. But he has to be using the vibrant prior to calling in for an exchange.

You would need to unbrick the phone. Have your uncle use it for a few days. Then you would need your uncle to all customer care (because he is the main account holder) and say he is having issues. Like phone randomly shuts off. doesn't really matter. Then you should be able to get a replacement pending he has lifetime warranty.

[Q] SMS Problem

I usually don't ask questions. I solve them myself. Now I have a problem I don't know what to do. I can send SMS, use Mobile Data, make and receive calls, but I cannot receive messages. They don't show up. I am on the AT&T network. Everything worked until one night, it just stopped working. Couldn't get texts. Being a teenager, that is problematic for me XD. I have been to two AT&T stores (local and corporate). They wouldn't help me since it wasn't a branded AT&T phone. Wow. They take the money no questions asked. The part that confuses me is. I didn't do anything to my phone the night it stopped working. Anyone have any thoughts.
-Done so far= Flashed to stock, factory reset multiple times, checked message center #

I think as default the spam settings is on, at least mines on. Might be worth a try.
Also did you restore your old messages when you went back to stock, if so maybe try deleting all messages, clear data in app manager. Back up your messages before deleting though
Yeah i deleted everything. Flashed stock and tried. Nothing. It makes me mad that i cant use my phone.

just to clarify - the new sim card worked for a week or so on your S3 and stopped working. while the same sim card(with an adapter) works on your captivate ?
i want to figure out what's the source of your problem.
other thing - if i understand you correctly you went to AT&T to fix your phone. i suggest go to AT&T center or call their support cause every company has a number for checking sms transportation and see in what stage it failed. it's just sending a code to a certain number and you should get the desired info.
i really don't think it's a software problem
Here are the details. One night i noticed i wasnt getting text from a specific someone and it was weird. Within the next couple of days i went to AT&T store. Got a new micro sim for my S3, didnt work... Got a regular sim and put it into a old phone they had lying around and it worked. I then had them cut it down to micro sim and put it into my S3. Worked for about a week and stopped again. Got a new regular sim and put it into my Captivate and it worked. So im on that until i have it fixed.
Spam off
Sms center number right.

If I were you, I would try with another operator's sim card to figure out if the problem is on att network or the phone. Maybe get one of those pay-as-you-go/prepaid plans and try to receive an sms- if it works, then the problem is on att's network
Thanks i will see if one of my friends will let me.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
When you put your sim in your Captivate did all the missed messages come through on the Captivate. If they did then I would say it's an issue on the S3, if not then it's probably an at&t issue
All of them came through yes. But why would it not work on the S3. And randomly? There was another guy on the forums that had the same problem.

[Q] Question

So i bought a samsung galaxy note off a guy on craigslist about 3-4 weeks ago and today i noticed i didnt recieve any calls or texts from anyone, so i checked my phone and could get a signal at all, so i reset the phone to factory using kies and now it says, Phone Not Allowed MM#6 and i cant connect to any network
someone please help and tell me what i can possibly do to solve this issue
I did a little research and it could be a few things... Either you've gave the carrier the wrong IME number or the phone was reported lost or stolen by the original customer... I would call the carrier the phone is for and ask them. Also if the original owner hasn't paid his phone bill the carrier can lock the ime from being used... I've heard a lot of people buying phones on Craigslist like that...

so it's an AT&T note and you're using it on Tmobile right? have you tried an AT&T sim? If you don't have one available to you, I think you can go into an AT&T store and ask them if they can do a quick check for you. Be sweet, apologetic for using their time, maybe send your gf in to flirt with them a little they'll more than likely give you a hand.

not a stupid question, i did not say if it was unlocked or not
but yes it is, i received the unlock code directly from ATT so im not sure on how to fix this, if the ATT sim works then i will just sell it as an att phone
What modem is showing in the phone ? (needs blaze modem for TMO, if it's an ATT device)
And are your APN settings correct ? (needs the TMO apn's)
Two nails in the coffin for service if not correct.....
just brainstorming....g
And sometimes the network around you has a brain-fart. Sometimes those problems go away within a day.
Everything seems fine I restored it to stock thru kies, but I went to att and tried a live sim and it worked like I should its for some reason only T-Mobile Sims that don't work ugh!

Unlock is permanent. Getting t- mobile to work on the at&t version is hit-or-miss.

[Q] can't activate

Hello everybody, this is my first post although ive been here for some time.great forum. I am sorry if this is in the wrong section but i have looked every where and cant find anything to what im going thru? I recently traded my galaxy s3 for a note 2 on verizon that was flashed to tmobile and then reflashed to verizon. Everything works perfect (i am even typing this from the gn2) except this phone absolutely will not activate on verizon network. I spent 3 hours in a verizon store and also on the phone while in the store with a verizon tech, he tried everyrhing even multiple sim cards and told me that there were now too many orders aginst the phone and that it should clear up by morning. I did what they said and tried again in the morning and it still wont activate im afraid i just traded for a junk phone but samsung told me they can reflash it if i send it to them but that will be a week or more without a phone, is there anybody that can help me or at least point me in the roght direction? Thanks alot guys!

Hi, yeah if i put the sim card in it just keeps trying to activate, it will even make a call to verizon and youll hear the voice say "please wait while your phone is activated" then makes a beep noise and hangs up. I can only use this over wifi no verizon network, no 4g or voice. My network says unknown in settings also. Activation just repeats itself until it finally gives me the mwssage "were sorry we are having trouble activating your phone please call*********** from a differwnt phone. Thanks

Okay just checking the problem. First, there shouldn't be any flashing to go to tmoble just putting in a sim. Si to make sure you are truly stock Verizon, follow section 1b here using the official download.

Also check in your phone status to make sure your imei is still there and correct. If not

This is sounding more like a network problem then phone. Try this may seem weird, but unlock and flash a couple ROMS. I've seen people say that they had a similar problem and it went away after a flash. He specifically flashed AOKP
I would also re flash the modem specifically
Im not crazy

Ive done that the tier 2 tech finally just called samsung and got them to tell me they will repair it since it is still under the 1 year warrwnry but I have to send it to them, im just afraid they may find out that the fella I got it from flashed it to another providor (thats what he told me anyway and had to flash back to verizon) and then tell me to pay alot of money, I do have ins from verizon on it but they dont seem to wanna go thru that since I got it from another person. Also 99.00 is cheaper than what samsung would charge I would think?

What does the roaming notification mean?

Hey xda I have a question I flashed cm and gapps I wipe cache/data/dalvik cache before. after the phone booted up but I had no signal. I'm not able to make calls or send txt messages. On the notification bar I get a message saying I'm roaming I called Verizon and the rep said the SIM card is dead and need a replacement. Is there Another way to restore service with out a new SIM card? I'm forced to have to Odin my phone back to stock and take it to Verizon.

Hey xda I have a question I flashed cm and gapps I wipe cache/data/dalvik cache before. after the phone booted up but I had no signal. I'm not able to make calls or send txt messages. On the notification bar I get a message saying I'm roaming I called Verizon and the rep said the SIM card is dead and need a replacement.

You need to at least Oden back to stock and see if that helps at all, however if you just happen to have a Verizon sim sitting around you should give that a try.
What firmware are you running? What kernel?
I'm having the same issue I'm on MDK build and I flashed back to Oden. I took the phone to Verizon they replaced the sim card but no luck. Any Ideas??
