Good to see you're still perusing the forums and posting content/helping out. I've had quite a few devices since then and have had the Note9 since preorder. I'm a bit of a lurker now and don't develop ROMs/Kernels anymore. Just happy to see the good, positive spirit and general helpfulness here...

Thanks for the links, Venom0642 Hope you've been doing well. It's been a long time since the S3 days. :)

That's a very good question. I have heard active but trying it with an inactive SIM can't hurt anything.

You'll need to borrow an active AT&T SIM to do so, unfortunately.

On the surface, it sounds like a hardware issue. The first thing I would try would be to have AT&T swap out your SIM card. If that doesn't work and you're sure the APN is correct, you may have to do a warranty decice swap. Before you do any of that, though, call AT&T technical support and ask...

Has anyone else noticed a nice signal bump? It seems like this may be attributed to the device favoring 700MHz LTE. I'm getting 4-5 bars in my house and I've never seen that in my life. Average is 2-3 and favoring higher frequencies. SNR is really good.

There's no real discernable difference for me. Both of them run great.

Quick instructions: 1. Download Marshmallow update file 2. Download and install minimal ADB/Fastboot and ensure your drivers are up to date: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790 3. Move the marshmallow update file to the minimal adb and fastboot directory 4. Rename the...

One of the main differences you need to follow on our Note 5's is when you're in recovery, you need to select the option "Apply Update from ADB". This is how you get ADB to recognize the device. Be very careful when selecting this option. If you allow it to time out, your device's data will be...

I’d like to take some time to review a product that I was given the pleasure of reviewing. I was approached by Mpow to provide an honest and unbiased review of their product, which I agreed to. This was paired with my Note 5. Link to the speaker on their main site for specific details...

This update fixed my issues with newly activated VoLTE service in my area. Before I was experiencing issues where my voice would not transmit for about 10 seconds or more and people could not hear me, however, I could hear them perfectly. This was frustrating in business calls. The update...

Really great event. I'm glad to have walked away with a red one, however, all of them are nice. It was great to meet some new people. My thoughts so far: 1. Wow, what a phone for the price. 2. It feels great in the hand. I have no fatigue from using it for hours on end. 3. I'm finding so many...

We see a few of these occasionally, but we are really good at catching them. This is a fake white one for your observation. One thing about them is the IMEI usually registers as an unidentified Nokia phone and the model number is one that doesn't exist from Samsung. Another thing to note: the...

You know, I really love this community. I appreciate all of you very much. When I started this project, it was a very dark time for me in my life. I was in school, I had just gone through an awful breakup with a long-term girlfriend. Subsequently my grades slipped and I went into a depression. I...

Sorry guys. Life got ahead of me. I graduated college. I barely got enough input to make all the work worth it. It takes a really long time and it's so much work if everyone has moved on. I think it's best to end this. I recommend S3RX. A lot of the work there was a collaboration between the S3...
