I just purchased my Flyer through Buy.com and received it yesterday. I was looking at the Battery Stats under "About Tablet/Batter/Battery use" and it shows the Display and the #1 user but second is Cell Standby. Does this mean that my tab in not the wifi only one? Could it be the one for Sprint or another carrier? The Software Number is 2.27.1540.32
I read some of the threads on rooting my Flyer but couldn't find my SW # on the thread. From what I could gather, I have to go with the "Goldcard" method. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Any help will be appreciated
Thanks
I believe thats in there by default since you are running Gingerbread. Thats based for phone use, not tablets.
It's using a large portion of the battery. Seems stupid to waste the battery for nothing doesn't it

Is there a SIM card slot under the cover close to where you put the microSD card slot in? If there is, then you have a GSM version. There is no CDMA version of the Flyer, so there's nothing for Sprint (Sprint had the View, which is black/grey and has 32gb of memory). It could be the T-Mobile version (although that should be clear by markings on the tablet itself or in the software) or the international version. Check for a SIM card slot.
This thread talks about getting rid of cell standby on the View, some methods without root. If you do indeed have a GSM radio in your Flyer, the non-root methods should work for you as well.
Well, there is no slot next to the SD slot. So I don't think it has the it

I'm dumfounded, I've been rooting and flashing roms on my phone for years, I just don't understand why a tab that's wifi only would have cell stand by. Any other suggestions?

It's due to the OS. I've messed with three other tablets on GB and all had that in the battery usage settings.

Anyone tried Portable WiFi Hotspot application that comes with the phone?
I don't have a tethering plan, but when I enable it and connect to it, it doesn't even take to the T-Mobile page where it says I need to purchase a tethering plan. Just wondering if that's normal.
I thought this application worked on the Sensation for free.
Many people in the SGS2 forum are reporting being able to tether when using an older Sim card (not the one that cane with the phone)

Just tried an older sim in the Amaze, same result as the new sim. On my browser it's T-Mobile telling me that I need tethering on my account. Appears to be from the phone, not the SIM.

I can connect to my phone, but when I open a browser on my PC, it doesn't take me to the tether website. So what I'm saying is that something may be broken on my Amaze.

There is something going on that hasn't yet been figured out about tethering. Apparently its not the sim cards because people have varying results with new and old cards. It has something else to do with the phone or the account. And I'm not referring to whether it has been added to the plan.
Also, I'm seeing the same results reported for the sgs2 and the amaze.

So if you root your phone you can probably add tethering but then lose wifi calling when it becomes available. Looks like a no win here.

I currently have CM7 on it anyway, and tethering works just fine. I think the Sensation is supported by CM as well. Then you don't have to worry about an OTA that disables it.

Yup, CM7 is great but again you can kiss tmo wifi calling goodbye if you go that route. Why not just get a Nexus prime if you go that route?

No, no. I meant that I may just hang on to my Vibrant in addition to my Amaze, just for when I have a need to tether. I was going to sell it.
Just have to see how this all plays out. Glad I didn't try to sell it immediately, like I started to do.

Are you going to swap sim cards or have two accounts? Would be nice if you could at least dup the sim card and just use one phone powered up at a time without having to swap cards. If I had multiple sims for the same account I would do the same thing with my two nexus ones.

This is probably a very simplistic question, but an answer is appreciated. I've only had one Verizon smart phone and their cards are a bit different.
I have a S3. When I receive my Note 2 from Verizon on Monday, can I swap the new sim card with the one from my S3 and continue using the same number? With other carriers I know, but with Verizon I don't assume.
Thanks for your help.
I pulled out my SIM from my GNew and popped it into the Note 2 I got from Amazon today, works perfect and no hassle; VerizonWireless does see you do have a new device on their site (doesn't affect your plan or anything; I have unlimited data so had to buy phone at full retail from Amazon)
I had a nexus then got an S3, now I have the Note 2, all using the same sim card.

I have a Droid Razr Maxx (not the HD) that I hotswap all the time with my S3. In fact, if you go to your account online, you will see the device listed as your current device. The, you swap and the device you swapped to will be your listed device.
If you want to hot swap w a Iphone 5, though, you'll need a sim adapter because the Iphone uses a nanosim.

That's exactly what I wondered and hoped, guys. That's how it should be, but after signing up for the line I wasn't positive.

I went from my nexus to note and used the same sim. However I had no 4g. I went to verizon and they swapped sims for me. Not sure why that happened to me.

I was just wondering if anyone has successfully used a dual sim adapter of any kind with a stock note 2 or one running any rom ? I purchased a magic sim adapter for my phone and it doesn't seem to work. I've restarted the phone and put it in airplane mode and nothing changes. It just says no sim searching for service. I have tried both stock and on jelly beans rom v8. Ive tried with two verizon sims and also with att and a tmobile sim. Thanks !!
What is the purpose of having two sims at the same time?

This is pretty popular in other countries. Usually for use when calling places with different rates, etc. For better rates on phone/data, etc or if you travel between bordering countries, etc.
I've seen a phone(not note) with 4 Sims in use before.
As far as Verizon, sorry man.... Not for sure you can without some heavy mods. Hopefully someone else here sees your thread
Im going to explain this problem in a depth as i can.
I am s-off'd via jtagged, rooted and have twp recovery. I am on newest radio running NOS M7 v2.0.3
I can only connect to 3G for some reason with it reading eHRPD.
i do not know if it was reading this before i started the process of rooting since i never turn the phone completely on once i got it back.
So after some reading and advice i downloaded LTE on off to force 4G
It worked but at the cost of losing my mobile network causing me to not be able to make calls or send out text but i have 4G i can get on the internet.
Atm i am plagued with having 3G and service or using 4G w/o service... and this is a problem.
Also while on 4G it reads RSRP if that helps.
Idk if this is a hardware problem from me getting my device jtagged (which would suck since that means im stuck with it) or if it can be fixed.
Any suggestions would be highly appreciated since im getting annoyed

What carrier are you on?
In any case, I would RUU back to stock, including kernel, and see if I get 4G. Make sure 4G is available in your area....?
Look in mobile connection make sure you have 4g enabled...

I had the same problem when I got my phone back. Took it back to Verizon and got a new phone. I tried everything and nothing worked. It is like something happened to the radio. Tried to flash a new one nothing. Still haven't heard back from mtv on trying to get a refund.

Sigh thats something i wanna avoid so Ill just have to stay stuck until moonshine comes out. I really like sense 5 and I don't wanna go back to 4+... Then I'll get a replacement I guess.
As far as RUU to stock and seeing if I was on LTE I already did all that. I was almost looking into build.props but I assumed that wouldnt work either. So guess I'm just stuck on 3G unless it randomly wanna come back which I doubt unless somebody comes up with a solution besides just getting a replacement.

That's more than likely not necessary if ur just getting a new SIM card. U shouldn't have an issue even if ur s off and unlocked. SIM cards r free.

Correct they are free, but the guy I tend to see at the Verizon store always seems to launch that hboot screen everytime I go in there. He did when I had the SIM card swapped earlier in the year as it would disconnect from my network several times a day. So I just want to be on the safe side.
I had my SIM card replaced twice on my resound and both times went to the store without relocking the bootloader or anything. Didn't have any issues. They programmed the new card and I was on my merry way. Maybe call em first and without giving any of ur account information ask if u can get a new SIM card if uv rooted ur phone. It would suck to go thru that process if it's not necessary but I can certainly understand the better safe than sorry approach. The phone call would definitely be worth the time though imo.

So I got the issue resolved without a new SIM card. So here is a combo of things I did to resolved the issue. I have everything in the link below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2338810
I think it was resolved after I flashed my radio and then I went back to stock just in case I have any more issues in the next week. As if I do I will go back to the Verizon store and swap out my phone. But I'd rather be S-ON in case that happens and be that way for a bit. Plus I wanted to test the S-ON for future purposes of in case I needed to get back there I knew how to.
Hi there guys, i have quite a peculiar problem and i tried searching the threads but to no avail.
I have an international RAZR XT910, i got it used, and as far as I know, it is sim unlocked, because i am already using a local sim on it (i live in the Philippines btw) and no local carrier offers this phone, thus the assumption that it is already sim unlocked.
However earlier today, when i tried to pop in another local carrier's sim card, i cant get any signal, and i dont even get the "sim card invalid" screen, just won't get signal at all.
I know the sim card is good since i tried using 2 different ones, but both wont get a signal.
When i put back my original sim card the phone works normal and gets signal.
My question really is, how do i make sure the phone is unlocked? Coz i know with samsungs there are codes you can use.
I have stock ics on system 1 and PA3.8 on system 2 using BMM btw, if that matters.
Hope to get a response. Thanks guys.

I just did, we have 3 carriers here in my country. I tried the other 2 and both have the same symptoms, no signal. :banghead:
I don't understand why this is fhe case, bexause i am sure that the carrier which works on the phone never released this phone, thus the phone being sim locked to this network is unlikely.
Isn't there a way to check the lock status of the phone?
