[Q] Microcell with JB? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

I have an AT&T Microcell at home, and it has worked with the factory AT&T ICS ROM. Since I rooted and installed SlimBean JB I see no Microcell in the menu bar and I get no beep telling me it connects to the Microcell. Does anyone know if this is a known issue? Do I need to futz with the APN entries? I find the ones appropriate to Canada if I Google it, but not much else. Apparently it is a fragile symbiosis between the Microcell and the phones.

I am currently running slim bean 2.6 which is JB, and I also use a micro cell at home. Have no connection issues. Here's my APN don't know if it will help...

Thanks, did you connect it under ICS and then flash to JB or did you connect it originally under JB? I will check the APN when I get home tonight.

Originally on my note it was ICS Goldie ROM I think. You can also try deregistering and re regeristing your number on The micro cell and or the micro cell itself

Any luck?

Check your APN name and entries for hidden spaces after words and values.

Ran out of time last night

I re-activated the Microcell and checked the APN for errors or stray spaces. Still no joy as far as I can tell.

Profuse apologies, but this silly policy to have 10 posts for certain forums is killing me. All the posts I need to make are IN THOSE FORUMS. So I am cloning this post to reach ten.

So the APP Network, anyone else notice it is terrible?

So after rooting and messing around with different roms and such, I installed an app called network that has been mentioned on here, to see about switching to 3G easily while at work.
Well I started noticing that the phone couldn't keep a 4G signal at all anymore, but didn't put 2 and 2 together because of some of the other stuff I had done, mainly flashing through 3 different roms in 45 mins.
Well I unrooted my phone, and got it exchanged today because of some terrible back light bleeding, that thankfully my new phone doesn't have, and rerooted the phone, restored all my apps on Mik Rom, and BAM, 4G goes screwy out of nowhere. So I looked through everything and the only networking type app I had was Network. I uninstalled it, and now instead of 998 ping and .5 d/l speeds I am averaging somewhere near 14 down and 71 ping.
Only change was that app. Anyone else have this issue after installing that app? Or if you are having 4G issues, and have this app, UNINSTALL IT!
just thought I'd throw it out there, considering it was making me really mad.
Just tested it myself and it's all good here.

Did you make changes in the network app?
The app is designed to DISABLE 4g. So if you made changes then yeah you would lose 4g.
Im sure this isnt the case, but wanted to mention it just in case.
I use mine to disable 4g since im not in a 4g Area but it works fine this way. But then again my 4g cant go screwy because it doesn't exist.

Hmmm... I notice your speedtest app actually showing an accurate upload (compared to the double digits people used to post. Is this an updated version? Speedtest had acknowledged inaccurate reporting on the TB.

Replace my prime with this.

Hey it works out of the box. No tweaking required and is not full of false advertising.

Put an ice cream sandwich on it and see if it runs faster!!!
Can we get an "Asshat" section setup to this forum and move some of these threads there?
Have you tried stripping one end of a extension cord and wiring it up to your device, see if you can get some more juice to it and overlock!! Also you may also consider adding a hamster + wheel for extra umph.
I know huh...I had to reply with that comment, couldn't help myself....we should have a TFP BS Thread section......would be at least a place for many laughs.
Is that 32geebees?

No this one is latest model it has 128 geebees. No GPS though
yes but does it come in purple? I mean metallic grey?
If you take 20+ steps away, is the text still readable?
does it have a search option? if not maybe you need more geebees xD
is it faster than the overclocked HP touchpad a fellow member put a video up comparing Prime to? we all know how fast that thing is
Hey, and its already rooted! You can access all the files!
I needed this thread, I really did.

Really wish the Mods would start deleting these pointless threads.
Come on everyone lighten up a little. Be happy! Enjoy the comedy don't take life so seriously.
BTW: I have root access right out of the box and no encrypted bootloader. The nice thing about it is I can change the Rolodex cards to any style and color I want and I still get my warranty
I agree, among all this turmoil we can use some clowning.
*coughs* so.. Handwriting recognition is great, too!
The best part is that you don't have to buy a stylus! It also works with a BIC Pen! Now that's what i called backward compatibility.

The Galaxy Player 4.0 teardown thread

Well, I know I promised not to bring any more contributions to the 4.0 forums until the 1st...but I lied. I out of boredom/curiosity popped off the back of my 4.0 today, to get some shots of it, as I have not been able to find a good teardown of the 4.0. Since I, of course need mine to continue development,
I did not go farther than popping the back off, for risk of disassembling something I would not be able to reassemble, although anyone who wants to do that to their replaced/bricked 4.0 feel free to do so, so we can better identify components within. I would assume that many of the components are similar/identical to their sgs counterparts, but it would still be nice to have a teardown for ourselves.
To keep this thread interesting and relevant, I need you guys to help me identify the various components inside the 4.0, and get info on them. I will add more shots as more people take them/I get bored again, and I will get better shots later on (I was shaking from the pseudo-excitement of seeing the insides, and the worry that I was going to bork my device).
Feel free to discuss/ponder/worry about what's inside!
NOTE: the pics are HUGE right now. There is no way I can fix that without degradin the quality, so I will leae them as-is for now, and attach them to OP later.

Yeah, I popped mine off out of curiosity a while ago, but didn't get further. There was a teardown over on the anythingbutipod forums.

Hmm, maybe I can include some of those photos and use them to start identifying components (think ifixit), although I will not be able to go farther unless someone fully disassembles theirs.

Yes, that would be very helpful, as long as you don't mind if you cannot put it back together 100% after tearing it down. I could make this a 5.0 teardown thread as well, and help both users. It should not be too hard to do, there are just a lot of screws on the back, and some ribbon cables to detach.

Odd border around my screen.....

Does anyone else have this issue and if so what do I do about it. I have tried everything and there seems to be that border around my screen. I had even taken apartment my spen to make it more sensitive and it hasn't worked. I am open to any ideas...

Is this on all screens and not just the test screen? What have you recently done to your phone?
Don't quote, reply. If you quote, edit.
Yeah its on all screens when I have the spen on that area of the screen the onscreen icon bounces alk over the place like I have tremors in my hands. Since I acquired this unit from eBay I have no idea of its history but I can assure you that I have not done anything to this unit. If I had gotten this unit from a carrier I would have a plane on it and have it exchanged it by now but I don't have that luxury. The only other thing can think of is to replace the entire screen unit but that is not worth the price since I got a really good deal on the entire unit. If I was to go that route I might as well replace the entire unit for the price I paid for it ya know?

Well, I'm thinking you should flash the correct stock rom. Whether you want the latest Jelly Bean or the previous Ice Cream Sandwich is a personal choice, but make it 100% stock to erase any previous work.
If that clears up your issue, good. If not, then you know its the hardware.
Did you try another pen from another phone or tablet?
I am thinking its a hardware problem cause I am running stock and it has persisted from ICS and I bought an spend for a note 10 cause I wanted something bigger, insert joke here, and the issue is still there. Unfortunaly for me, I no longer have the funds to acquire a new display kit so I guess I am gonna have to live with the issue... Thank you for your ideas I do appreciate it

I had the same issue and is persistent amongst roms. It's a miss-aligned reader for the spen. it was very common in a lot of the first run models. I have the same issue even right now with my refurb though on the right side of my screen but and not as bad but my initial Note had the exact same border as yours.
Thank you for the answer and I can only assume that there is no way to correct this issue

MIUI on the S4

Is there a dev working on porting MIUI to the S4? Is there any reason why it couldn't/shouldn't be ported? I really liked it on my Rezound and I'd love to give it a shot on my S4 (maybe with some of the TW features incorporated).
Thanks!

As of today, I got it to stop defaulting to NV and instead default to RUIM like it should. I got the APNs to default correctly. I got the roaming indicator in the banner to read the correct networks. I just have 4 test builds to flash yet and hopefully it will be good to go. Assuming it plays nice.
No ETAs, No PMs about it, No "hey Dubbsy...please"
The thing I've noticed with MIUI people in general is when I post something in an MIUI post as a response, my other ROM threads are immediately swarmed on by a bunch of MIUI leg humpers asking if it's done yet. As far as I'm concerned those people inside of my other threads will always be told I'm not working on it.

Take your time, someone working on it very little is better than someone not working on it at all.
