[Q] phone services. - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there anyway to take off the cell parts of the phone so its only WiFi. The reason I ask is cause this phone has no service and I saw in the battery area that the cell standby is second on the list. So just asking if I can use like ROM toolbox to freeze it or remove the cell phone parts of it.

That does look like want I want but I really don't want to go all the way back to 2.2 or whatever it is lol

Even if it's on airplane mode?
You can purposefully break the software by deleting the /radio/modem.bin. It will then no longer have any service.

Yeah it still has it on airplane mode

[Question] Im recieving a vibrant 4g as a gift

Is there any custom roms? Or should i sell it and keep my vibrant? I was looking at the 4g forum and it looked pretty dead. Anyone know if its compatible with regualr vibrant roms?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
from wht i know its not totally compatible!
So there arent very many roms available? I want the ffc and 4g
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
then keep it stock and enjoy the ffc and 4g...
So there are no roms for the 4g?

Not really. Doesn't seem to have any active developers.
The lack of developers is what's keeping me from getting one.

You keep saying you want a custom Tom for the galaxy s 4g, and we keep telling you there really aren't any nor is there an active development community for it, and you still keep asking the sake question.
If you want custom roms, stick with the vibrant. If you want ffc, 4g, and no custom roms, go with the sgs 4g. Pick your poison.

Yeah, he posted how to, but he's not developing for it, so it's up to other users to do the leg work, which people aren't stepping up to do.

If you get one, i could port roms you want over from the vibrant. Just pm me the rom you want and i will port it.
I would trade it for a G2 or Galaxy Tab (if you get lucky). Or just sell it on ebay. Just avoid the Mytouch 4G since you are out of warranty if one of the slews of issues with that phones occurs.

I'll pass, tablets aren't really my thing. And, I'd rather have a g2x than a g2. G2's are kind of wack. Im just waiting for a phone that really blows me out of the water.

You guys hijacked the thread. So...
Volume+ seems to be a go to app but I am not really impressed. Haven't tried anything else yet, myself.

Exchanging back to one s. Restore back to stock?

When I exchange to the one s, I'm obviously restoring back to stock via Odin but there is no way of resetting flash count. Would this cause an issue with t-mobile? This phone has way too many connection issues and the one s when I had it for a few days did awesome, unfortunately I jumped on the band wagon.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
try return it and see...i have not have troulbe with connection, must be that specific phone or your area
Definitely not my area. Had the one s for a few days and reception was insanely strong. Bought the phone from customer care over the phone.

Would a specific Rom cause issues? I just flashed back to stock and it seems more stable.

Sacrifice signal strength for better hardware, its how it works. Get the crappiest flip phone in the world and it will have good signal strength if that's all you care about in a phone.
They're not going to check the counter. I can assure you.
How is gsm3 better hardware it's almost identical to the one s minus the screen and sd card and removable battery. I'm not bashing, I have the gs3 in my hands.

What's the actual question?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Those are the access point names and each one has settings to connect to data and voice networks, depending on what sim card is in the phone.
It looks like you have a 4G at&t sim card and have the LTE access point selected, which is correct.
Thanks guys is all I need to know

Sure : you have a full signal on both WiFi and cell with 88 percent power on your battery. Its also a little after 3 in the evening if I remember correctly just kidding

was it tough to put that ROM on?? Im still stock LF6

Purchased a Note 2 off Craigslist... need to Rom it but have questions

The phone has superuser on it already. I downloaded ROM manager to check the recovery and it has CWM and TWRP. Is it safe to install custom roms or is there other steps that I need to take? The baseband is vraljb.... Android version 4.1.1
Thank you in advance.

If you can boot into the custom recovery, you can flash a custom rom.

If its legit, then you got a killer deal. The cheapest GN2 that I've seen was $350 but it had a cracked screen. I see some for $200-250, but I am sure those are scams. The next time you buy a Verizon phone, call *611 and verify the ESN status before handing over money or trading phones. A legit seller will not mind at all.
