I want to believe SDS is now a thing of the past. Update 7 fixed it. Just stay on the latest ROM builds and u'd be fine. Cheers!

Spanishmario: @stanley...tried contacting payless buh z numba ain't going thru nywaiz hw can I prevent sds or get one dat won't ve it...fenkz 4 always being dia...

Search for them on Facebook mate. PayLess Communication. Btw, this is not Tech market. Only Software related issues are solved here.

caukerzee: For over a week now, My S4 has not been able to do anything that requires SIM card acess (Call, SMS, Data connections..etc). Keeps telling me "Out of service area". Don't know whether or not factory reset or something will help. Any solutions? Thanks.

Try reset or different ROM or modem.

DAFUQ did I just read? Comparison btw Android and Blackberry.

humblesteve: Hmmm meaning I don't get you oh Oga!

Then sorry.

somtea: Can u b a bit more explicit pls? Do u mean I shld dwnload on playstore nd not 4rm apkmania.com?

Yes! Buy apps. Don't download for free. It's someone's hard work. People spend years working on some apps and ask for only peanuts in exchange.

humblesteve: Which is de best btwn s3 and Note 1

S2 < Note < S3 < Note 2 < S4 < Note 3

Dats it

Price? For 1 unit. Personal use.

lekside01: my s3 wit airtel sim isnt tethering wit my laptop win8. d wifi hotspot shows limited(no Internet) while other tethering options isnot working. I have used d usb tethering on my win7 bfor. please advise..

Might be ur anti-virus. Temporarily disable ur firewall then the entire Anti-virus and see if it works

Deblow: Gurus in the house, pls help. I discovered that files stored on my mem card such as pdf, mp4, and word 2007 files will be cease to open after a little while but they would have opened and played well a little time after placing them there and later it will just write "this document can't be opened". It also happens to video files and both on note 2 and 3. Pls help

You might have a faulty memory card there mate.

Airtel 1k5 = 2GB. *440*16#
BBM = Play Store

bolakale30: Any hope for the battery issue, can I get a touchwiz based jb for my s2 with battery friendly kernel

My advice is that u calibrate ur battery. Get 'Battery Calibration', the one by 'Professionals' from PlayStore. It costs only $3.22. Bought it yesterday... Amazing app!

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=proffesionals.battery.callibration.paid

bolakale30: hello pls I just rooted my samsung s2 I need a stable and bug free jb 4.2 or 4.3 custom rom link plssss probably for Nigeria region this stock rom is draining my battery

Last I checked, S2 didn't get official 4.3 yet. But anyways, check http://samsung-updates.com to be sure.

ruffcoins: Anybody wf Gs3 who has ported to 4.3, hws is it, nd is it available in naija

Same thing goes for you.

CODE FOR NIGERIA IS 'ECT'. Cheers!

Wadosky: recently my gs4 battery got bloated and d phone turns off and reboots quite often.my charger loses contact always with e d beeping sound .I want to know if d warranty covers d battery and charger.i bought d phone from slot in abuja.

This is a known issue mate!

http://drippler.com/updates/share/samsung-offering-free-battery-replacements-affected-galaxy-s4-users

Ask for a replacement or easy! Get one urself. It's just 4K at Slot. Original.

kel2me: All gud man... Just depends on where u buy d uk used s4(ur own risk) so i wud go 4 d s4 if its from a genuin source

There is a place in lagos where you get used phones with 6 months warranty. Pretty great stuff.

Spanishmario: Guruz in da house, watz d best deal btw these phones SG Note2, SG S3, Sony xperia SP, SG grand duos, HTC oneS nd HTC one XL for a picture nd game freak...

Just get Note 2. You will have to make many other important life decisions and u have problems choosing a mobile.

johnstar: which is d best ntwrk for andriod phones

Airtel. 1k5 for 2GB. *440*16# to subscribe. Cheers!

Spanishmario: Y z Note 1 nt discussed in dis thread coz I cwiozly need sum xpert advice...

Because it is an old phone which doesn't really make any sense now IMO

ahmedgafar7: Guys I got some questions
. Are UK used androids international versions
. Must I root to install a custom or stock rom

1. Wherever it was used doesn't matter. Even if it was used in Gabon or Zimbabwe. Only the model name suggests it's an international version.

2. Under normal circumstances, Yes! You Must Root and flash a custom recovery too. As most custom ROMs are in .zip format. Cheers!

honourableseyi: Please I need your candid contribution between these phones. Which one do I choose among these phones money, slim size and durability wise. S3, S4, NoteII and Note III. Thanks sirs

S4

Rajgan4edu: Thanks Stanley, ive checked the first page as to said , the question now is , is it that d moment its in downloading mode, its original, I mean after pressing d 3 keys? or is there something I should look for in particular. Am new to Samsung world, so pls don't be mad, tutor me like a complete novice.

Check that the model is correct and than Binary and The other thing are set to 'Official'

honourableseyi: I saw some S4 phones on Aliexpress, but the price is too low to believe it's the original one. Please can I go for it? It's a new phone according to the specification on the website; also they do specify their phones if it is a new one or refurbished. Please I need urgent reply before I take any step my boss in the house

If it's too good to be true, IT CAN BE TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE!
If I remember correctly, aliexpress sells China stuffs. Oga, run oh!

bolakale30: hello bro, i just got a new samsung s2, i have my contacts backed up on Microsoft Outlook, pls how can i sync it with my new phone.... Thanks bro

Try to export to VCF format and then you can look to import it to your phone.

nonny1212: This thread is really great. Please I just bought Samsung galaxy s3. Itz running ics 4.0.4. It's not bn rooted. I really need help on rooting it. Am still a novice

humblesteve: Thanks for your correction

Anybody want to sale Note 2...?

Emekemini: Anybody wanna sell a note 2

Reported! This is not a Market place!

zelexotunla: Pls,my s2 couldnt download anymore from play store. The end result of downloading from play store is "package file is invalid" and no insufficient storage. But, i have tried to uninstall and clear data on most of my apps. Pls what can i do to stop dis problem? Because i need to update most of my apps. Thanks

Mate just wipe your phone and start afresh. Factory reset it. Look for the option in settings. First, backup everything u need to backup. Especially the files in the internal sd.

soladnet14: Please help! My s2 will start rebooting wherever i switch my Bluetooth on.

Same advice as the reply i gave before this. If doesn't work... Flash a Stock ROM in ODIN. Check first pages on how to do this...

Rajgan4edu: Hello all, I'm faced with a big dilemma now, I don't know which one to choose between Samsung Galaxy s3 and note 2, please ur honest advice would be appreciated,
Also, how do I identify the original or international versions of the 2 phones?? when I check about phone under settings. what should I look for to be sure I'm not buying a clone? thanks
I'm buying a London used o.

Note 2 without thinking twice. Reboot into download mode to see the model of the phone and know that it is original. Check first page for how to reboot into download mode.

warrenweste: Hi bro,pls how do i recognize a clone s4 and a refurbished one are they the same thing? and also whats there disadvantages...in case have purchased it is it a bad investment? pls shed more light thanks

Same advice goes to you as the reply i gave just before this one


BOOMSHAKALAKALA! All questions replied! Time for church! Have a blessed day all!

jedisco: ok. Thanks a whole lot.

Cheers!

jedisco: Thanks.
But will this void d warranty or cause data loss?

No and No.

jedisco: @stan
how did u root ur note 3 without altering knox and without any data loss?

Use http://kingoapp.com dude. I voided my warranty by Flashing Russian firmware. And rooted with CF-Root.

[quote author=nani.666]the Kies you're supposed to download is actually a PC software...[/quote]Exactly!

Funkiedee: ok. tnx. wat abt d rom and kernel version stuff

Forget about those... Stock is good.

mickzzy: Ha guyz can i get a sgs3 london used for 30k

Wrong thread.

Funkiedee: @ Stanley: I want to root it. and also u were talkin abt rom and kernel in ur previous posts. pls brief me abt this tinz and ow to go abt it.
tnx

Use kingoapp.com to root it. It's easier and safer...

ruffcoins: Stanley please I just got a samsung galaxy s2 i9100 international version, its unrooted running gingerbread, I don't want to root it, can I install jellybean 4.2.2 on it without rooting, nd is dis rom free of bugs

Google and download 'Kies'. You can upgrade using that software.

Funkiedee: pls Stanley I just got my s3, tk a look at it. av nt rooted or done anytin on it. pls tell me wat to do.

What do u want to do?

lekside01: how do I put my s3 on permanent 3g or H (if possible). It switches to E automatically and its killing.

Go into settings > More Networks > Mobile Networks. Then change Network Mode.

WCDMA Only - 3G/HSPA Only (best for downloading)
GSM Only - 2G/EDGE Only (best for battery saving)
WCDMA/GSM - Automatically switch (Best if u don't want to bother or know about the first two)

Cheers!

OMG! Why are we Nigerians life this?!!! THIS IS NOT A MARKET PLACE!!!

Guitarlife: Thaanks staanley, so how do I get the latest firmware on the note 2 that I eventually buy ?

Great week ahead by the way.

Through the phone itself, software update. Through Kies, or through ODIN. Read Flashing guides on first few pages.
