How can I back up everything to sd card???? need to send device to Samsung today and need help
Being sent in for repair under warr...they told me to back everything up prior to sending in because everything will be deleted on their end.. (reason being sent in REPAIR PORT -CANNOT CHARGE OR TRANSFER information)
The person on the phone was not very helpful to begin with talked too fast with instructions and when asked question felt as if he was reading from a book...he also could not answer simple questions regarding my sku/medi/hexi whatever number to register product...

I sold my mda vario on ebay, i took it apart and cleaned it beofre i sent it off, i checked it was working all bar making any calls on it...the buyer is sending it back saying no one can hear them on it and that they took it into a shop and was told the mic was not working....im very suspicious (i wish i had made a call on it before i sent it out !!!) and wondering if they have swap a part over or something....i have read several threads regarding a HTC diagnostic program and have also read about it in the service manual, none of these threads have been answered and i have looked on the ftp site but can find no reference to it....IS IT AVAILABLE ANYWHERE HERE !!????...you basically install it to the sd card and it runs from there....you help would be greatly appreciated.

I bought a used phone from internet website, its worked great and it was locked on T-mobile UK. I got it unlocked from fastgsm and used my tesco sim with the phone.
The phone worked great for couple of days and on the third day it worked upto 11am (that is when i made the last call on the phone) and after that i am getting 00:00 Ended every time i press call even to voice mail.
it does not call anyone no texts either and when someone calls me it says the phone is switched off.
Steps i have taken to fix the issue:
I have swapped different sim cards.
i reset my phone through settings and diagnosis code.
I have updated the firmware to the 7740
I have installed a new unbranded UK retail firmware. its still running this firmware.
I have checked if the imei is blocked or stolen or something on a few websites nothing came up.
I have searched XDA to see if someone else has this problem and there are quite a few people here with the same problem but no solution.
I need help i have no idea what to do next
everything else on the phone works great no problems wlan connection keeps it connected and all the other features are fine its just the phone calls and text msgs which i cannot send or receive.
i have tested my sim on other phone it seems to be fine.
Please help i am not sure what to do next.
thank you and regards
Call Samsung support.
I've got a very similar problem - I can access the internet with my SIM but I can't make a call or send a text.
Omnia 7 - originally on orange but unlocked.
Any help appreciated.
ok then xda cant help me with this problem lets see if samsung support can do something about it. i have called them and i am taking the phone to their service center.
wish me luck i will report back if there is any news for other people with similar problem.
I have the same problem. Ive done almost all the steps as you have. Im beginning to think that its a hardware related problem. Maybe the sim-reader.. Well, i bought another phone but I hope to fix it anyway. I'll be back to check your progress in the matter.. gl
I can also contribute that I did the unlock via fastgsm.. (without any errors) And that may be the cause. But 1 thing is different though, I could never make any calls at all. You said that u were making calls.. I had a very long email conversation with fastgsm that ended with him not responding to me at all. But that was some time ago and I deleted the emails.. Not that I think it would help. Now I use the phone as a surfing pad (wifi/data ok) its sad really... lol
That's a terrible problem, I feel for you guys.
Definitely get it contact with your provider or SAMSUNG to get a replacement.
I can't think of any settings which you could change other than the obvious ones.
GUYS I NEED HELP
Im living in Mexico City, One month a go, I Bought a Samsung Galaxy S4 device on a Mexican Web Site.
When my device arrived, I notice that this device was made for the Arabic market, but I hadn´t any problem I insert the SIM card, and everything was running ok.

I took my device to samsung workshop, and after 3 weeks they said that they cann not repair my device, because the display they have on stock dont fit. So they say tha i must to contact Arabic Samsung to ask for help.

I have exactly the same issue. How did you end up fixing your phone??????
So I have read numerous threads on this but most dealt woth people just going to replace
Here are the numbers
Carrier att insurance deductible 199
We could sign a 2 year and get a new 24 for a penny possibly (not confirmed)if its confirmed I prefer not to take this route if possible anyway.
one cell repair quoted 249 repair
im fairly handy and curiois whats involved in doing it myself anyone know the corect thing to get just a screen or what?
My primary concern at this very moment is getting my data off the pho e (photos, etc). Anyone know how I can do this when I cant access the scren to unlock?
thank you everyone
Do you have a computer to work with?
You can plug your S4 into a computer which pretty much works as a flash drive and so you can retrieve your data from there.
Hello,
to all of you.
I want to know some things about Mobile Phone, I hope You understand this question and I'll get replies.actually, my friend has found a new Grand 2 Mobile phone still packed in box on road, I know it seems weird but "its true", and He tried to search the owner of the Phone but he got no clue, that is just a Grand 2 packed nothing else, no bill, no address, nothing, and he is little nervous that's why he doesn't want to inform about this to some P.Station (you know India Polise), so he decided to start using this device, but before that he wants to clear some things, he doesnt want to be in a some kind of mess, so please reply,
1.If we don't put sim card in Mobile, and keep the device off removing the battery, then Are Mobile Operator or Mobile Manufacture able to trace the Mobile or not?
2.Is it possible to change the IMEI number of the Mobile, If yes then Can you tell me How? or tell me the link on web?
3.Because Nothing is set up on phone till now, as I told this is packed, if we put sim card in Mobile is there any possibility by which the mobile can be traced?
4. If he only use this device as a media player, then what are the chances of something went wrong?
P.S : He found this device ten days ago, and he tried to search the person who bought this from the nearby sellers(actually he found it on very busy road), but found nothing.
Thank You.

There is a method to change the IMEI.
However, it is illegal in North America and many other countries.
I'm sorry I can't give you a link as this is illegal in the States, but keep looking around.
It's probably legal in India (a big country with the world's second biggest population ... who can trace you anyway?)
If you operate the device without a SIM card (airplane mode) or any form of Internet communication, no one is able to trace you, unless it is the CIA.
