Want to be a tester? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

I'm putting this here because if your reading it, you either knew where to start looking for the answer to a question - or you're looking to answer someone else's question. Either way, it shows the ability to reason.
We are looking for some Sprint users to work testing OctOS builds. While being an adb genius is a plus, the ability to follow directions is critical.
(Using Google Hangouts already is also a plus)
More information about the ROM at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2493128
Send me a PM.

Thanks all! We have what we need for now.!

pls ans my question urgently

yeh what now? any chance you could ask again a bit more legibly?
In answer to one of your problems (that i could see) user/password for FTP is xda/xda
The FTP site for the wallaby can be found HERE. If you can't getto that, make sure that Port 21 isn't blocked on your router/firewall.
Without meaning to be rude, Malaikah, it seems you're new to this site, the inner workings of your Wallaby and Internet etiquette or 'netiquette'. I strongly suggest that you browse around the forums and read up on past posts, using the search feature if you need to (it seems you might need to as you're asking questions that have been addressed before here). Many people see this forum as a way to help others to help themselves rather than spoon-feeding people instructions (that's what instruction manuals and Google are for!). People who participate in this great online community do so in their own free time and do so without payment so they don't have to help anyone. If you were sitting in a bar and a complete stranger came in and said 'You have to help me fix this now, for free', dumps the device on your table then leaves without saying anything else, I don't think you'd be too pleased, I know I wouldn't!
Check out the top thread here regarding some basic guidelines users of this forum should follow. Last but not least, have a look through the Wiki - there is a wealth of information about the Wallaby there, ROM versions and so on. I'd suggest that you don't even THINK about touching the radio stack on your Wallaby if you're at all unsure about what you're doing.
Sorry to rant on but I'm sure with a little digging, Googling and effort on your part, you'll work out solutions to your Wallaby issues. Self-help is the buzz-word of the day!
Regards,
Neil.

HELP for new owners ! Startup information

Hello community
I am a great fan of this community and i have recently bought a HTC Wizard and now, more than ever, i follow all the news on this site.
But, regardless of this, being a new owner has its handicaps, meaning i am missing a lot of the basic information on operating (modifing, customising, etc.) my device.
I have been using a HP4700 but i have recently bought an Orange M3000.
i hope that by this post, me and all the newcomers would find valuable information and answers and also the basic knowledge to be able to understand and contibute in more advanced threads.
Thank You
I would like to know what would be the first steps to follow when buying a new device to get the most out of it.
I mention that the my device is operator locked, and, i do not necessarily want to unlock it, but i want to decustomize it and to be able to flash it with the newest roms and use all enhancing tweaks
all information is appreciated, thank you
You either need to do some readings around here, or you can search for specific question. Would be difficult for others to spoon-feed you
To decustomized it, the basic (easiest way) is to skip the customization installation after hardreset. That is to soft reset the device just after the security screen. You have 3 seconds to soft reset your device after the security screen.
I am very interested to read every single post regarding my device. But, i have noticed that information is scaterred around and hard in getting the wide picture for starters.
I also intend to contribute to this post in order to provide the newcomers with needtoknow information so they can one day prove useful to this community, being "spoon-fed" early may develop solution-providers later.
Thank you for your interest.

Immersed in Information (and drowning!)

Hello All,
First off, I want to thank everyone whos cooked and added information on these forums.
Also I want to state beforehand that for the past 3 days I have gone through countless pages of threads to try and learn as much as I can on ROMs & the such.... its a lot of info! Thats not so much the problem, as I have a pretty good idea now on how to do it (though haven't decided on a custom ROM yet), but the problem is some of it so scattered you can easily have 20 tabs open and either get confused or something.
I have been unable to find (and if there is forgive me for not searching well enough), a thread, topic, or FAQ which would state where you can get programs (ie. Windows Live/Messenger, Internet Sharing, etc) that some ROMs remove. Thats really what has held me back so far from flashing a new ROM, as I really like some of these, but they might be missing certain things I would need (like messenger, or even maybe 5 fav?) but I can't find exact information on all of this.
Edit: I understand if I want to find a program I can just Google it. But what if I don't know theres this awesome program I have never tried or heard before? Can't google a program I don't know! That's why I ask if there is a thread, site that would list them all, or a good amount. I know there couple threads here and there that display default HTC ones, and maybe some odd others.
If anyone can please help me out, or direct me where I can find more info on this I would be really grateful! I might have future questions from then on but i'll definitely be searching to keep the asking to a minimum.
One other question I do have right now is the Radio version. I know theres a thread on a current version, but I see some ppl already have a version higher than that.. is there a place where you can find the current version always, and also, when u flash ROM, does that update your Radio too.. or is it seperate?
Thank you in advance all who help!
I really do hope to be part of this community.
Well I took the dive (woot!) and HARDSPL my phone succesfully. Just finished flashing the default OEM rom and upgrading to the newest radio as well without any problems thanks to all the info you guys provided.
I can't wait to get home (where I have really bad reception) and see if this truely helped me. Im in the mood now to play with all your ROMs as well (I feel like a kid at christmas).
Update: Flashed Open 7.7 and loving it. just need to get used to this brave new world..
Status:
Play and get used to this!
My only concern, and one i cannot find so far is.. at the moment i have no MyFav program.. if i call my currents fav i had will T-Mobile still know, or do i have to have the myfav program installed on my phone so i don't get my minutes charged for calling them?
New concern is i keep getting a text from "4670" saying WCI 1.1 111 every so often, is that normal when you get this program?
Another question: When I install programs, must they always be installed ON the Device, or can I install them on the Storage Card? If i do will they work fine? (or some u can, some u can't.. and some examples)?
Sorry for all the questions!
I install all my programs to storage card. haven't had any problems there. I deleted myfavs because t-mobile stores your favs on their system, so when you call a fav their system should recognize the number. the myfavs program uses memory is why I deleted it.
the text you are getting I don't know what to tell you on that.
sounds like you have the rest down pretty good
????
How did you delete the my fav program? any assistance would be helpful

Making a finger friendly website for hd2

Hey everybody i'm working on creating a finger friendly website for the hd2. i was wondering if anybody wouldn't mind if i used your tweaks and apps. if so just post the link to your thread that has your cab files on it please.
huh? Are you asking in a thread for people to either allow/deny you posting their apps and creations? If you want to contact people for permissions, how about sending them a private message on the forums? The chances are greater that way, instead of hoping they will all find your thread /:
yeah im asking permsion to use peoples cabs. i was hoping people would post there stuff instead of me having to search over every thread to find the stuff.
OK.....Where?
link please
Proposal:
If I get You right it will be sumthin like a HD2-XDA-freewarepocketpc-app-and-mod-site ?
Good idea !
Please care in any case that mods/apps are separated in sections for different ROMS (stock-ROMS at least) to avoid a mess from the beginning.
I'm still working on the site. I'm not going to publish anything that's not even halfway done
That's a great idea! We can get HD2 apps and mods on the move.
Try PMing all the people who created the mods and hacks. That way you'll reach them faster instead of waiting for them to find this thread.

S920L unlocking help

Hello, like several people on this forum, i got the Galaxy Grand Prime S920L variant (Straight Talk/Tracfone).
As you know, only the stock kernel and stock recovery have been posted so far.
I'm willing to donate a little to someone able to provide the files & steps to unlock this device so that it accepts Sim from other companies. So if anyone can help or point me towards the right direction it will be greatly appreciated. :highfive:
Just a thought....If your on Straight Talk, call the toll free number (you will NOT have to talk to any real person doing this) transfer your SIM card to the T-Mobile or AT&T card variant and then you should have an Unlocked SM-S920L. Let me know if this helps.
That won't work.
Thanks for the suggestion fellas. I need proper unlocking though because i need to be able to use a mexican company sim (such as Telcel or Movistar). So if any developer out there is reading, im still willing to donate a little to anyone who can help me unlock this phone. Cheers!
you cant simply just unlock the sim card with a nsap of your fingers, and honestly, straight talkj is pretty strict about it... you ll have to look at the unlocking policy located on the bottom of their website..
must have phone on service for 12 months or more
must not been filed as lost or stolen
etc
etc
etc
whatever it says...
I know we cant just unlock with a finger snap, that's why we are here on XDADevelopers. We also know about their terms & conditions, but again, thats why im requesting the useful help of of XDADevelopers, thank you.
i doubt there would be a way to bypass the carriers systems to unlock the sim card..... it think you would have to hack their databases and allow an unlock on your #
ACTUALLY, there is a way to unlock the device that doesn't go anywhere near hacking a corporate database and is truly closer to a finger snap. It requires the use of dialer codes, service program menu editing and the MSL/SPC code. Unfortunately, I cannot recall the specific steps, which is why I'm searching this forum today. I hope the writer of this post has found a solution and I apologize profusely for not being able to relay more information. I just had to stop the influx of ignorance in this thread. FYI folks: people come here for answers and information, not for your erroneous assumptions. K?
