Hello Gang,
I have a Samsung Galaxy SIII Live Demo Unit. It is basically a Galaxy SIII minus the SIM Card slot and MicroSD slot. I have noticed that the OS has minor limitations...for instance, I want to use the device under USB MTP so I can transfer the music and pics I added via bluetooth and I cant.
Has anyone seen this? Is there anything I can do, take screenshots or such so i can atleast run the true ICS TouchWiz. For instance, S Voice is not included, and I Want it. S Beam, SmartStay, NFC, Wifi Direct, DLNA, All Share, all that is in there.
Cheers,
Paul
Exact same question a week or so back might have an answer .

I have Live Unit too and I have IMEI for that phone which has been given to me on paper.
Both Mitsuoka123 and myself are Samsung Mobilers and we got Live Demo Units for testing purposes.
I flashed stock ROM (and then SlimICS ) and no problems at all. Now I need to insert IMEI in my phone but I don't know how.
Can anyone help? Thank you in advance!

IMEI Restauration
Hello,
When you get a "Live demo unit", you have a generic IMEI 004999010640000.
You have to restore the IMEI to use the GSM.
You can find tutorials with a google search "IMEI restauration".
For Samsung Galaxy, you can have a look here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1264021
I have just one issue, it seems that the method does not work on Samsung Galaxy S3... I tried all the combinations...

Hello.. I trying to fix my S2 i777...I upgrade it to ICS 4.0.3 the official version using Kies... and the same issue no signal... after that I root the phone... tried so many different apps.. such as the Samsung galaxy s Sim unlock etc etc etc etc.... and the network lock is OFF and pretty sure about it... but I do not have signal... I tried different Sims from different providers and is the same issue... the phone is recognizing the Sim cuz is asking for the PIN... but not signal...also I bought a unlock code and no is not that... so someone knows how to fix it
Not trying to be an ass but why do people come to a custom ROM forum to ask questions about official att Samsung updates and help with them.

Did it work before the upgrade? If it did I would return it to AT&T and tell him the ICS update broke your phone.

did the upgrade break it? did you do something to break it?
Does your provider support at&t bands?
If the phone is stock, and you havent done anything to cause the problem. check the contacts on the SIM, or the phone h/w failed.

If it was like that before the upgrade then it's a hardware issue. The phone has a broken antenna.
And you probably voided his warranty by flashing a custom rom. LOL.

Because if I was over In The att / Samsung forums asking for help with a custom ROM what kind of replies and help would I get. Like I said I wasn't trying to be an ass about it was just kinda curious why people don't ask for help on official ROMs from the people who actually release it.

Hello guys,
After my HTC wildfire S, I bought iCrap and since I got used to use Android, I sold it and bought Galaxy S3 :good: However, I have a big problem During calls people cannot hear my voice. I updated the latest version, but still there is a problem during calls. I dont know how to solve it. I think it s a OS problem and it s going to be OK after JB, but I am not sure. Could anyone help me to overcome this problem I will be really appreciate :fingers-crossed:

Try to set your phone in GSM mode only instead of wcdma and check your connections. Maybe this will help you.

I actually find my S3 to have generally brilliant call quality. I've come from a 4s and it's much louder and clearer than that was.

Am getting similar msgs about a running game whatever..... It must b some application i installed which pushes such ads or adware...... How can i know which app? Nd by the way dont know if it is wifi on off related but rather happens when internet source is toggled..... Wifi/3g etc.... Task manager shows no application running....
I asked my (Chinese) wife, it means "The Internet connection was changed".
I don't see any pics man
A quick look at logcat will probably tell you the offending app or process.
It means way of connection to the internet has changed in Chinese
I had a similar issue to this on a UK firmware with an SGS2 and when wifi was enabled it used to display a Korean message, I think there maybe some non-translated strings in this area.
Here is the text if you need it:-

Well, there is no "issue" except that they've forgotten to translate a string of text somewhere saying "your internet connection changed" as previously stated. This notification is correct.
If you don't want to root it or flash different firmware you'll have to live with it for now.

No paid apps are showing, VERY many apps are incompatible. Started two weeks ago, rooted 4 months ago and haven't done anything like that after that!

Hi Guys! I am using Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100G INDIA model. After more than one year of use suddenly it started working weird.
1. Full 100% charging getting discharged to 0% in 2-3 hrs(99% phone is put on standby mode - not using for anything)
2. When I enable WiFi it is not able to scan. I repeatedly clicked on scan but it is not showing any progress of scanning and not listing my home WiFi network
I have tried:
1. Battery recalibration - no use
2. Factory reset - no use
3. Hard reset - no use
Can somebody help me with this? Is there a way to check that WiFi chip failed or not Or it's an issue with firmware(4.1.2)?

How can we change baseband? You mean by flashing a custom ROM? Please guide me....
I went to service center to know about the issue. He was just re-installed stock ROM by rooting the device even not hearing to my problem. When I say WIFI scanning is not working he turned on WiFi and was saying it's working. But I told him to let the phone scan for any WiFi hotspots close by(My friend phone SIII able to list all available hotspots). He then pressed scan and was saying motherboard was gone. Is that true? How can he say blindly even not checking until I tell him to check the WiFi.
If I need to change the motherboard how much does it costs in INDIA? and does it carries any warranty?

firstly, you should be rooted to change the baseband.
If you are rooted that find any compatible baseband of your rom version and flash the zip file through recovery.
As far as the motherboard is concerned, it is costly affair. Before coming to the conclusion of motherboard being damaged, lets first try all possible options. I don't see the motherboard issue here.
PM me your rom details and i will find a baseband for you.

My advise wud be to see some local repair shop as it might be a loose connection and would not need the replacement. No harm in getting it checked as he will not ask more than 200-300 rs. If still u find it did not work go for motherboard replacement from samsung.
Btw how much did they asked you for motherboard
