Freezing at AT&T Logo splash screen during boot.

Every once in a while my phone restarts and freezes at the AT&T Logo splash screen after the Samsung logo. There's no way to get past this besides booting up as if I was about to install a custom rom (holding power, home, and dwn volume) and then canceling and rebooting and even then this only works half the time. Removing battery and rebooting never works. I can't even restart my phone without going through all these loops just to get it on and usable. Anyone know what the issue is? Some people mentioned re installing the kernal. No idea what that means.

AT&T M7, Soft Brick, Desperate for help!

I post as a final measure, as after two days of being unable to use my AT&T HTC One M7, I am in need of help. Badly. I have tried everything I could find, it either errors, fails, or crashes, nothing is working for me. I am without an OS, and have an unlocked bootloader, TWRP, and sleep deprivation. This all started when attempting to update to the newest Android available, and has left me stranded with a soft brick. If anyone has any ideas for me, PLEASE speak up. My phone was working fine until yesterday, and I am NOT interested in going back to my Iphone.

[GUIDE] How to remove AT&T carrier name from the notification bar

For everyone installing the Stock Roms, the carrier name will be displayed in the notifications bar, which i found really ugly and kinda stupid. In this guide ill show you how to remove it.

--This guide works only on the SGH-I337 model. I haven't teseted it anywhere else. If you do, leave a post below--

-- First of all, you need to have Root Access, since we are editing system files (duh!). Secondly im not responisble for any damage done to your device for not following the steps correctly. I did it on mine and its running flawlessly. --

--- Instructions --

• Download a root file explorer (I used ES File Explorer)


• Mount /system as r/w (In ES File explorer you do this by +swiping left->right from the left side of the screen to open the settings +scroll to the bottom and enable root explorer +tap on root explorer +tap on mount r/w +on /system choose option rw)


• Close settings and on the top where it reads sdcard tap it and from the window choose / Device


• Navigate to system folder


• Before editing the build.prop file make a backup so if something goes wrong you can restore it later. Copy the file and paste it somewhere in the /sdcard directory (Not necessairly).


• Open the build.prop file


• Edit these lines as below


• From ro.product.device=jflteatt to ro.product.device=jflte


• From ro.product.model=SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 to ro.product.model=GT-I9505


• From ro.product.name=jflteuc to ro.product.name=jfltexx


• Save file and Reboot.

This method will also replace the 4G Icon to the default one, and as you saw thevirtually change the model number shown on the about device section. Its still a SGH-I337 . And that's it! If something goes wrong simply restore the old build.prop file.

Straight Talk AT&T Network Issue

I have trouble connecting to a certain website using the Straight Talk AT&T BYOP sim card on my Nexus 5. The website is Chatango and whenever I try to login into my account on LTE, I receive error message net::ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE using the Google Chrome web browser app. I also downloaded the Chatango mobile app from the Google Play Store and I receive the same error message. However, I only receive this error message when I'm on LTE or 3G. If I switch to Wifi, both the Chatango app and connecting to the site on Google Chrome works without any issues. I am running Android 5.1.1 Lollipop.

To troubleshoot this problem, I took an activated sim card directly from AT&T (not from Straight Talk) and put it in my phone and I was able to connect to the site without any error messages. I even took an activated sim card from T-Mobile and I was still able to connect to the site. It's only with the Straight Talk's AT&T mobile connection on LTE or 3G where I receive this problem. So I thought it would be a carrier issue with Straight Talk. I called their customer support and they claimed that they could not help me with the issue. They claimed that it is a "Google" problem and that there is nothing they can do, despite the fact that the site works on any other carrier that I tried it on and it works on Wifi. Can someone help me with this? I am also using the latest APN settings according to what is presented on Straight Talk's website.

Is it the Phone or At&t that is the issue?

Preface I am not an android fan at all....Despise it, but my mom uses Android and is having some issues and I can use some help/advice :)

She has had the desire 610 for about 3 or so months now, using it on At&t Gophone. She has been moderately happy with the phone aside from the camera. However, as of late she seems to be having some issues here lately with the data.

Sometime, even when she is out in the middle of the city with 4G her data is not working at all...No FB notifications, No Emails, etc etc and then suddenly they will come back in.

Twice(including tonight) she has found herself lost because her Google navigation crashes/closes and wont work(her words....I am not entirely sure the issue). However, when she showed me just now the GPS worked fine when I typed in the location.

I did call Att a few weeks back and they told me to turn the mobile data off for a few seconds and then back on...that somehow fixed it.

She said she tried to do that and turn the phone off and then back on and it still wasn't working. She claims it works fine when she gets back home...she keeps saying it is because of the wifi and I am like "No wifi has nothing to do with it"

Is it her phone(the Desire 610) or the Att gophone service.

We used att postpaid and they are the same company/network and I never had these issues with postpaid but she is having this issues a bit much now with goPhone.

Carrier IQ on AT&T Note 5

I've been monitoring my battery life for a while and while I get pretty good battery life and SOT, I noticed that Android System always seems to consume the most battery. I've looked at threads where people are getting absurd SOT (upwards of 7-8 hours) and wondered why my AT&T model couldn't do the same even after using Package Disabler Pro and Adguard and I think I know why. I went into Application Manager --> Running --> Android System and found this (see attached image). It appears Carrier IQ is onboard again and causing Android to have a high usage rate. I believe this is the reason why some aren't getting great battery life and unfortunately it can't be deleted with Package Disabler Pro.. I wish Samsung would stop letting carriers tamper with their software or release a pure version of the phone that's compatible with the AT&T network. Sorry for the Novel but I wanted you to know why you are not getting great battery life.

Did N915F works well for AT&T network?

I want to buy this model to replace my iphone6 plus on AT&T LTE network

But does this model works well on AT&T LTE network?

Can I unlock my AT&T Fire Phone without a SIM card?

I know that to enter the unlock code, I have to stick in a non-AT&T SIM card. I use StraightTalk which piggy backs on AT&T's network, so my SIM card doesn't trigger the unlock code screen. It just works. But I would like to unlock the phone anyways so that I don't have to keep track of my code.

Is my only option to borrow someone else's SIM card?

AT&T flex (1) update...

Guys I was rooted I got the notification of the software update (d95020g) I update it and still got root permissions, what is new with the update? That's the thing...

OnePlus 2 and AT&T LTE Fix

After getting my Oneplus 2, I went to the store to get my nano SIM as I still had my micro SIM from my OPO. When I went to the store to get my SIM the CSR scanned my OP2 IMEI. Since this is not recognized by AT&T as a known device, you will be unable to get LTE. If you simply swap the IMEI back to a supported device (can be just a demo phone on the floor) and LTE will be restored. Hope this is helpful to some! :cool:

Soft brick because of AT&T update?

Just got a update for my LG G Flex D950 from AT&T. I didn't think twice, and hit update. Now my phone will only go to TWRP. I'm using TWRP v2.8.6.0 any suggestions? All I've done is root it, it has the original ROM it came with.

About to buy an AT&T LG G4, can someone QUICKLY answer this question?? Thanks!

Dear Friends,

About to pull a trigger on an AT&T LG G4, can someone give me a short answer, ASAP?

Is it possible to have permanent Root and Xposed on the AT&T variant WITHOUT ridiculous bugs like a "green dot" in the camera of the phone? (what does the green dot even mean? It's on every picture? Is it a watermark? Just on the GUI?)

If possible, how? And should I buy the phone?

Appreciate any QUICK responses, about to buy now! Thanks so much in advance!

(NVM) Can't Change Brightness after latest AT&T update

Brightness slider has completely disappeared from notification window. And the slider inside settings doesn't work and is greyed out. What the heck is happening? Did Samsung or AT&T think manual brightness options are unnecessary now?

EDIT: turns out the brightness control is disabled when low battery. Ran the phone for two days now without a charge so yeah. Didn't know that.

which galaxy note 5 to buy to work on At&t?

I've been looking online to buy a galaxy note 5 to work on At&t, I don't want to buy an At&t model because it can't be root and the Tmobile one needs to be activate it for at least 40 days with their service in order to unlock it.... (kinda lame), so , I'm between buying these 2 models SM-N920W8 or SM-N920C ?

which one would you guys recomend I heard some guy bought the International and his signal was not a great as the At&t version? any feedback, recomendation or advice?

Thanks for your advice
Jesse

Unlock s4 to work with 4g on AT&T

Gotta OTA update on my edge+ today at&t?

Anyone else get the AT&T update?

note 5 IPv6 supported (on at&t)

This note 5 is the first phone I have with AT&T that's getting a non-local (2600::380::....) IPv6 address from the cell tower. I wasn't getting ipv6 on my nexus 6 last week (same LTE network.)

Does anyone know if this was something that AT&T recently enabled, or if they are only doing router announcements to specific APN's and/or h/w?
