[littlefilly]

ok...first post -usually just an observer... have my new G3, having some issues. Grabbed a cute wallpaper that I saw online - after a day I changed it to another one on my phone...decided to go back to It... but It is gone!??? where did it go? where should I look? not in 'Wallpaper' or "Live Wallpaper" files.... checked my Pictures - nope! Opened My Files - nothing there either!!! Help!!!

Order a micro sim online for 99 cents, and then buy a 30 dollar refill card and activate the sim on the 30 dollar plan prepaid plan.

The promo code for the sim card is SIMSALE

Found the 99 cent sim on tmo but only seen a 50 dollar card from best buy. Will tmo have the 30$ card in store?

Looking like it would be simpler to pull the note 2 sim card and use it.

Usually the 30 dollar cards are hidden at best buy. I know that sell them because that's where I buy mine. T-Mobile might have them in store, and I know Walmart has them as well.

Our you could forgo the refill cards and just pay with a credit card when you activate.

if you "downloaded it" I.E., pressing and holding till you get a list where you can "save image" it is likely the image is in your downloads folder, not in your gallery. Check your downloads folder.

More phone news:
The new Droid devices have locked bootloaders. Anyone surprised by this? I seriously doubt it at this point. At this point I suspect either a "developer edition" (that is never released) or a "GPE device" instead. But I doubt that too as well with them being CDMA devices.

------

The S4 is locked. I am betting the note III to be locked as well.

 

[breadnatty08]

There's no workaround for the locked update for the S4?
And, nope, sure ain't surprised about the Moto.

Nope, and the root exploit is gone too. This new update that came out a couple weeks ago is airtight.

I still have not received the apps to SD update on my Verizon S4 :banghead:

Morning all

 

[breadnatty08]

Wow, that really sucks. Is it affecting any other carrier branded S4s? IIRC, ATT is the same?

Yep, AT&T did the same thing the next day. All other versions of the S4 seem to be unlocked though.

I'd rather pass a kidney stone than go flashing this "odin tar" you speak of

Seriously, I come from the kymberlin school of computer technology. I best not going flashing my boy I would jack something up.

Treb, go into settings | apps | all | google services framework and clear data and cache. Then go into settings, about phone, system updates and try check now again. This seems to be a trick that works on different phones to get the OTA to kick in.

You may need to try this many times.

Ok, I'm almost sure

If storage space was a big issue I would consider, but I still have 7.19GB of available space. So I'll just wait until I get it
