Airplane mode.

If you want to go deeper than Airplane Mode, you will have to create a customized firmware for it. Here is a link to a thread in the Captivate (SGH-i897) forum about turning the captivate into something like an Ipod Touch. It may give you and idea of what would be involved.

I exactly wanted to do that, but I am no developer, I wish someone could do that
I would have done it myself if I had the knowledge
isn't there a simple way so that they cell standby wont even get started and just disappears

No, but if you have the time, following that thread would be a good way to get into light development. Essentially, all you have to do is take someone's existing firmware distribution, and do some relatively easy modifications. You would have to learn the tools and how to use them. If you can contact the author of that thread, he said he is willing to show someone what modifications to make. It may still apply on our phone.
Problem is that if someone doesn't have an interest, they are not going to do something for someone else. Maybe if you offered a bounty, someone might take it up.

I'll give whatever support I can. I don't know the tools real well, but I've played with some of them a little, and I do know some windows programming and some other stuff.
Edit: Did a little looking around. You probably will not hear back from the original poster as he appears to be inactive on xda for most of the last year. Here is his original thread which has basic instructions for removing the phone components on the Captivate. This might work on this phone. I think the second thread was to make the interface more pretty.

I never did listen from him as u said. Hmmn but i did visit this thread and did as he did which was quite very simple to be honest. I deleted the phone and telephony apk and csc file. And all other files which were related to phone activities in one or other way.
And well with that the cell stand by went away...
Now i get yellow phone signals
Anyways their is mo cell standby in battery drain
But all is not well i get kernel wakelocks which are keeping my phone awake and draining battery like hell when in standby or screen off...

Uninstall the modem or flash a new one? You can turn air plane mode on if you want to turn off signal and data when you're in a bad coverage area.

Airplane mode not an option...

Question to all Dev's

Just a thought...
Since our tbolts get way better battery life while on a wifi. Is there anyway to make an app to trick it into thinking it is sending and recieving wifi signal. And then disbale it when you really want to eb on wifi.
I'm sure there is alot more to it but its just a thought
You can't make it think it's running on wifi or running on the mobile network.

Just to explain a little, the reason for battery life is that on WiFi you have a data stream. Like a hose, when you bounce it around a lot the stream breaks, but reconnects. That is 3g/4g. It is more or less like you checking the hose to male sure you have a solid stream. If you didn't move, you would check less. There is also the matter of different hoses and different stream settings, but well stick to basics. The only way to trick it would reduce likelyhood of a solid stream. This would do more harm than good.

You might want to look at: Menu ---> Settings --> Wireless & Networks --> Mobile Networks --> Enable Always-On Mobile Data (uncheck this). Unchecking this turns off 3g/4g after 5 (or 15?) minutes of non-use. This is a HUGE battery saver if your phone has a lot of standby time (like mine does). You can also set WiFi to turn off after awhile if not in use.
Honestly it was meant as a question i was not sure if it had to do with the setting itself or not. It was a theory.
I really do not understand why people can not give a straight answer yes or no with an explanation instead they would rather flex internet muscles...
Please close this thread
Sit, i believe you do not understand how the radio works, for you i would just suggest putting it into airplane mode when you aren't using the phone. Easy peasy battery saver.
Also thank you for making me lol
NOE!!!

I saw someone doing this remotely on ebay bro. Don't remember the charge. PM me if you get it done and tell me what works and what doesnt. I have a way to get 25% off your bill every month if that helps. This works if anyone else wants to use this i have for 4 years and everyone I gave this too has recieved the discount. follow it to the T . They don't want proof or anything. You will have the discount within 3 or for days. Don't forget to hit the thanks button e-1 . heres the link. If you want this post removed PM me and i'll remove it.
http://www.hustlermoneyblog.com/25-sprint-discount-on-sprint-and-nextel-service/ do it exactly.
will make your bill cheaper than boost mobile
As tempted as I am to be blunt (it seems it's expected of me now), I feel for you. I know it's rough, and I can certainly relate, but I don't think you're going to find what you're looking for by posting this here. Just saying.
Good luck.
Idk about Boost, however, if you have Cricket in your area, I just flash my 3vo by using their tutorial on cricketusers.com
I know it's not Boost, but it's another inexpensive-ish mobile carrier based off of Sprint's network.

Wrong. Although this forum is full of smug jerks who are completely useless. I do try to help out when I come to pick up a new rom but avoid it like the plague when I don't need a ROM for this reason.
To OP this is totally doable by your self and you need patience and as im sure you will find out the method is a bit under the table. For this reason I paid someone else to do it im not a lawyer so follow all instructions on your own. If you can't find someone to pay you can do it yourself ebay guides are scam all the info is free if you look or keep reading my post. All the instructions you need are here at xda. First I would suggest rooting, temp root since MSL reader app requires root there are other methods to get your MSL aka SPC but they are a pain this is simple and works. After you root download MSL reader and get your MSL you will need for later. Now you will need your phone in DIAG mode with diag drivers. Follow the instructions here only to step 7 is needed. If it reads fine you are good to go if it does not read the phone you need to fix the diag drivers instructions here. Now you are ready to start instructions here at xda but in the epic4g subforum in this thread all the instructions are the same but you can skip 11. The only purpose of 11 is to get the MSL/SPC which you already have. You are done at step 17 but if you need mms to work check the EVO4G forums pretty similar to the epic but there is an extra menu or 2 but 3D and 4G should be the same.

I don't quite understand. You don't have to flash, customize, or tinker with your phone at all. How much time you spend doing this is up to you. The phone works fine out of the box which is what you'll get with iPhone. If you want to get rid of bloat, then root it and remove the stuff you don't want.

Solution might be to find a ROM and stay with it, keep in mind flashing and or using custom ROMs are not for everyone, if you enjoy learning and bettering your knowledge and device well then it's the ticket for you, but if you find things are not working for you and you have hard time understanding, then maybe flashing custom ROMs are not your game...
There is nothing wrong with staying Stock and or Stock straight out of the box, as stated some have found that best for them.
Thank You.

I really don't want to get an iPhone again. I got rid of the 4S 64GB factory unlocked. It's like an ipod with some phone functionality, meaning I cant use it for much. I have Tmobile and this particular phone for various reasons and the root is very necessary.
I would prefer someone help. It's obvious something I'm flashing or how I am flashing it is borking the phones. Most likely the latter.
Wipe cache, wipe system, wipe Dalvik before flashing. Or follow the instructions on the ROM page's first few posts.
Bye crapple

Drama queen. No one told you that you need to flash ROMs. Get the iPhone and please go "complain" on the iPhone forums. Roms are free and devs are taking their "own" time out of their personal lives to make em. If you can't be thankful, you don't deserve to be here.

No way I'd ever go to an iPhone again. I don't like being told what I am allowed to do with something I bought. Don't get me started on that though. IPhone is what you use until you know better, kinda like people used to use AOL until they learned more about the internet. We have several nice ROMs to pick from

I got the old one on stock rom stock recovery. Its the same, very unresponsive. It takes 5 minutes just to set the language on the att start screens. The other phone is balking at connections with odin, im trying to put in only a bootloader and its got a green bar but the big area says BOOT is not changing color yet, like its at the last step and it stopped. Its odin 1.85 since the newer ones seemed worse.
edit:
I got the old phone going, I think its fixed! I flashed the stock rom via odin thats on the forums. I used stock recovery to clear a couple caches. Then flashed cwm standard, from march or so, I used it to clear everything possible except sd card which was recently formatted as well but it has roms now. I flashed a nice safe collective mesosphere seraphim ics rom and its snappy and responsive. I think there is something wrong with some newer things, I dont know what, but I had no problems before I started with JB. fyi, bricking two phones is not normal for me.
The new phone wont talk to odin so it'll sit for a minute.
Going no where with this, so...

try samsungdive.com n raise an FIR with police..
Had you set up the tracking with the Samsung app? or maybe with Avast! anitivirus?
If you've not set up any tracking I'm not sure what you can do :crying:
Always first thing.....
1.....alert provider
2......file a report with police
3.....if you haven't enabled tracker that about all you can do unfortunately.
If you had a stock Samsung ROM, you'd have Samsungdive. With that it is possible to locate your phone ANYWHERE in the world, and you could have found it by now.
However, some poop-heads find Samsung Dive and the Samsung Framework are unecessary and remove them from their custom ROMs.
Samsung Dive is one of the most valuable additions to the stock ROMs and one of the TOP 5 reasons I keep my phones with stock ROMs, although rooted.
Another choice is to use apps like "Where's my Droid" (US$ 5), and similar apps, and although they aren't as efficient as Samsung Dive, they can help you locate your phone.
You can try a remote install of plan b - be persistent, it sometimes takes many attempts to get it on your phone.

Samsung Dive is worthless, if someone wants to keep the phone. A 30 seconds Google search shows how to perform a factory reset that erases all SamsungDive configuration. A thief has just to press three keys when booting the phone. It works even when the phone is protected by PIN or something else.

good luck dude!

Is that significantly different from just plain slow?
Please tell me what's the solution???
Try samsungdive.
Guys...almost a month has passed....I tried samsung dive but still no success....Although in my google account I see my stolen s3 is stil showing up as one of devices ...I filed fir a month ago...still no feedback by cops...feeling quite sad...
If your phone is using Google location services you can try logging into Google latitude from a pc/other device and looking at the location history.

Sorry but if your device has not surfaced within a month, it's very possible that it either does not work anymore (broken, lost and left in rain, ...) or that the thief/finder actually bothered to factory-reset the device (as someone else said... like 5 seconds of work)
As sorry as I am to say it, but I believe you can give up hoping to get it ever back.
This happened to me as well. Unfortunately I was never able to find the phone. Another thing that can be done is try to block IMEI number. However not all carriers want to do this as I lernt. I also send the email to Samsung and ask the if they could add the number to internetional black list but I am not sure they did it. Sorry about your loss. I know how it feels.
Guys just suggest me a new device.Sad as it feels I need u r opinions.
M not gonna buy s3 again bcoz I will feel the pain of losing it.
I am against htc bcoz of battery , lg is crappy and motorola/sony don't worked so far for me
before coming to love android with my gs3.
Though suggestions are welcome.
I like to do heavy usage,browsing,gaming ,developing etc on my android.
Sony xperia z or zl or htc m7

[**ATTENTION DEVELOPERS**] Bootloader Unlock

We are over $2300 for a bootloader unlock. I am curious is there anyone out there who has attempted any work on this goal yet?

Samsung galaxy s5 hit 18k before an unlock but money shouldn't make to much of a difference I'm sure the people who brought us root are working on it though
They recently fixed some twrp stuff for the D851, just hoping they're next target is unlocking bootloaders but only time will tell
Following them on twitter you'll find more info and updates than asking for it on an xda post

Ya I stopped buying Samsung, because it took 18k to root the damn thing, way to locked down, kills the fun. But being over $2300 in just over 11 days isn't too bad. That Samsung bounty went for a very long time. There were also a few people who individually pledged huge amounts of money. I really loved the specs for the S5, and the battery life.
That is until I heard about the LG G3. This phone is amazing. You know how a phone no matter how good it is, always has just one major fault? Sadly the only thing keeping the G3 from being the "perfect" phone is the QHD screen. Although I consider it a fault, this is also a plus, I would much rather have 1080p and the extra screen battery time, thank god for my extra batteries and charger, I swear I get total phone anxiety paranoia if I don't have a removable battery. However I am getting 35-40 hours between charges, but thats only when I have about 3 hours screen time in that span. I run at 50% brightness, and the screen gulps battery. Other than that the battery is amazing! This is without using ART too. This thing would last days without the QHD screen.
Did anyone ever figure out what apps needed to be freezed to get ART functioning?
I wonder if Adam Outler would be willing to look at this phone.

Well I've heard it's only among Verizon variants so probably a Verizon app that's causing it, I wanna know what type of crash it is
And even if ART worked, I couldn't use it yet. I use apps that have compatability issues
It's easy to debug an error, if I had a recovery I would take the fall and see what's causing issues on ART for us but I've already had to factory reset once and I don't wanna do it again

Lets See What We Can Do
Ok well I have seen some posts from different people about various RE skills so lets get to work and do this thing. I have done this kind of thing before but have never pulled apart an android image. I know PBL boots SBL1 boots SBL2 and RPM but I do not know the addresses that these are loaded into and executed from. I have attached the SBL1.idc file that will create the IDA database for the SBL1. This needs to be base relocated to the correct address but that is an easy adjustment when we know where to put it.
One of the first things the SBL does is switch to various ARM modes (supervisor, fiq, irq, etc) and sets the stack pointer to 0xF8002000 from there is branches off to 0xF8041F00 (thumb) but since I do not know the memory map I cant track that down. Also it looks like there is some relocation code in there. Code that copies chucks to other locs. There also appears to be some signatures near the end of the file.
If anyone can help me flesh out the database that would awesome. Even loading addrs info would be great. By the way their are a ton of juicy strings in there , this makes the process of RE much easier.
N.B.
I did not create the Stack segment yet as I want make sure this is loaded to the correct address first. There may be some gaps in code still (like the very middle, but I think that is all supposed to be relocated) but it is mostly all disassembled.

This is amazing news, if real. Let the G3 custom ROMs flow!

Considering Autoprime reposted it, I consider it good enough.
This is some very promising news! Fingers crossed!
I'll be the first to say.. My Body is Ready
me too man
I've read and re-read the Fast Boot method to TWRP for the International G3 and I'm ready for when this drops for us.
Hopefully the time that we all have waiting for this others on Verizon do the same since it's not as easy as just a button combo,!

I wonder if someone like Savoca could create a custom bootloader that we could replace the stock one with completely to just do whatever we want.
