Got this phone from bestbuy last night, for some reason once in a while when browsing through the phone, all in a sudden it will stop and show this error.
unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped.
Is this defect? Should I return it ?
You're at least number 3 who actually says he is using the US-version of the phone and posts in the internation forum.
Could you try factory-resetting the phone?
Sorry I will post that in AT&T Forum, didn't know they have one

My mom called my phone yesterday, and I went to answer it but it stopped ringing. Then she called again and asked me who the hell just answered my phone, and why they only spoke Spanish.... I thought probably just a crossed line, but then I got a text the next day saying that international calling must be added by the account holder..... As if someone tried to make an international call? ? ? I'm on page plus, so there is no way to investigate... Has my Android been hacked through an app, and my esn stolen?
UPDATE: So, I changed esn's for 2 weeks and things went back to normal. But a few days ago I switched back to the android to test... Sure enough, just now, my cousin called but it stopped ringing. A few minutes later he called back to tell me that I butt-answered the phone. He could BBC world news in the background, talking specifically about mexico. It wasn't me, but someone accidentally answered my call again.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

Hey, so Android hacking seemed to be the correct forum for help...?

Possibly. Contact your service provider immediately.
Did a ton of searching and nothing seems to pertain to my situation.
I bought a brand new samsung vibrant. It was sealed in the plastic, and was not refurbished. I deal phones, and the person I got it from clearly got it on an upgraded line and sold it to me.
I know for a fact after getting to know the person and dealing with her more that what she was doing is scamming T-Mobile by going there, opening a new account, and not ever paying for it again and running away with the phone. I discovered this when she left an active sim card in a box that had a months worth of service on it.
I sold the phone, and the guy said it says "Not registered to network"
I go to search for the network and says SIM will not let me connect. Like i said the phones brand new, never used, never unlocked, never tampered with. The other 4 phones she gave me were all fine, except this one. Clearly not dealing with the lady anymore, but wanna atleast be able to cut my losses to break even.
Thanks!
Have you tried use other sim card or try factory reset?
yes i tried both

solved this problem??
Root it....check the 1-3 forum on vibrant Q & A its about how to root your phone then install BUSYBOX from market and the final step download GALAXY S UNLOCK (FROM HELROZ) from the market follow those easy steps and your ON 100% it will be fine
Just turned on my phone for the first time today and started getting "Enter Network Lock Control Key." No service with AT&T. Huh?
This phone was working fine for the past two years without any problems but why now? I spent over an hour with AT&T and Samsung with no resolution. Said my phone was the unlocked international version so they couldn't offer any support and told me to "contact the original carrier" (there is none...).
My version is the latest stock Android ICS 4.0.4 XEU. Never flashed or updated or did anything like that to my phone. What now?

You've got an AT&T S2? I777?
If so, you're in the wrong forum

I have a GT-I9100 with the original stock XEU firmware that is now running ICS 4.0.4 stock. It's the original and international version. However, AT&T is my carrier. I bought the phone off of Expansys.
Update: Just tried in another SIM card from another carrier, and it still doesn't work. Also, I tried restoring the phone back to its default self by doing a full reset and still the same message. Now I know that it isn't a SIM issue but rather a phone issue. Strangely, my phone has been working for 2 years and suddenly decided to "network lock" itself on an unlocked/international phone.

I cannot use it unless I root the phone. However, never mind. It's all fixed now as I was able to get it fixed at a local repair shop. They told me they used NsPro to "re-unlock" an unlocked phone (ironic, I know).
How much did they charge you?

$35 well spent. I was very stressed in not being able to use my phone and all its goodies.
You could have done it by yourself and for free.. oh well.. your choice..
yeah...it takes like 30 min + xda + patience.

Alright, sorry for making another thread but this is really frustrating me.
I got this phone off ebay. I didn't know much, but it was the i9300 version. When I booted the phone, it says i9300. But whenever I booted into download it said "T999" (AT&T version). And I looked back the ebay listing I bought off of, and I now realize the title said:
"Samsung Galaxy S III GT- I9300 16GB - Marble White (Unlocked) (AT&T) GLOBAL USE!"
What does that even mean? I got the I9300 AT&T version? How does that make sense? I'm upset because I tried flashing the stock rom and I soft bricked my phone and now I'm stuck. Everywhere I see people are saying I need to get it serviced. But I can't, its the international version. Where would I get it serviced? I live in Ohio. Now I can't install any ROM/bootloader/reformat PIT because I have the T999 bootloader on a I9300 phone. Do you think I should contact the ebay seller? Is this my fault or his fault?
The phone description said "never used" but when I got it I booted into download mode it said "custom" software and had been flashed 7 times. I'm past warranty period, though.

Definitely contact the seller and report him. Ask for a replacement or the money back.

TMobile pixel 6
On installments payments that they pay (promo)
Running Android 13 dev preview 1.
I'm looking to get some info on getting the phone to be able to unlock the bootloader but it shows locked due " unavailable on carrier locked devices"
I'm not a dev by no means but ive flashed roms up and down on phones with help of forums for years now. And this is the first phone I've gotten in payments I guess .I've contacted TMobile to get them to unlock my phone witch the second time I contacted them they unlocked it told them I'm developing for Android 13 lol
Problem is the option is still grayed out. Am I missing something?? Sim unlock? Idk should be unlocked right. I can confirm by using TMobiles website it shows it's unlocked and in the TMobile app says unlocked.
I'm running Android 13 Which did brick my phone for a while lol yeah I know I know but after messing with it I got it to boot correctly and it's been going for over week now no restarts.
Is it possible to unlock the bootloader? Help would appreciated.
I've done fac resets tried getting to the setting never find that I can toggle it also didn't work on Android 12 before a 13.
from what i have noticed but did not read in any depth..
you need to call t mobile customer service and get your device unlocked so nothing is greyed out .
there are various posts about this here that explain everything
as i post this i think it is the next one down..

So why don't you post in that thread instead of starting a new thread.
Creating multiple threads on the same subject makes it difficult for everyone tring to navigate the threads.
Plus it would help people looking for the right answers.
