Need to take my phone to Sprint with 5 Odins

So I'm having issues with my phone and sprint wants me to bring it in. I have an Odin count of 5. Will they see that and if so do I just play dumb? Maybe tell them I took it to a different store and they looked at it too thus the Odin count is up?

If they're smart enough to look at the ODIN count, they're smart enough to know that another Sprint store "looking" at the phone isn't going to increase it. That only comes from flashing the phone via ODIN. Really, from what I understand, it's luck of the draw. But someone else who's actually been in this situation would need to tell you whether they had them look.
Personally, I bought the USB jig and reset mine to 0 so I'm no longer at risk.

Ya I bought one too, but it hasn't showed up... Its on a slow boat...

this is what passes for "cheap" and "easy" these days. LOL. Looks kind of fun if you're the DIY type.

dang that sucks so if you dont have that tool you cant reset your odin count?

Do you have to flash by odin or can you do in recovery I'm coming from an evo And have always used ra but only cwm is on this phone correct?

Follow this guide if you don't have a soldering iron, really need it done, and can't/don't want to wait for the Jig.
Had to use the "tie them all together & tape them up" method shown in that video to unbrick a friend's Captivate. If you're patient and have a very sharp eye for tiny microUSB pins, it should only take slightly less than forever to line up the resistors to the port's pins and get it to clear the count..

What are your problems that you need to take it to sprint? Also I have read in threads that sprint can't deny your claim for rooting. Maybe search for more info on warranty and rooting.

I think they released a document the same day or right around the time of the E4GT release stating they could terminate your service for having a rooted phone.

Most techs aren't even aware that Odin exists. Only reason I know is because I have an E4GT.

I just made a USB jig today, literally took like 5 minutes. There's a bunch of how-to vids. Plugged it in and it worked first time. No Odin count.

It'd be very easy without a soldering iron as well, twisting the resistors together well and just touching the appropriate pin contacts.

Ive been having issues with not getting text when the phone "hibernates". The moment I touch the power button, and go to the lockscreen it pops up. Im also having slow 3g connection speeds. I'm at about 500 kbs with 3 to 4 bars. Is that normal? My brother was getting 4mbs with his IPhone 4s in the same location! Which really pissed me of. ... Thanks again for all the help.

For what it's worth, coming from a Sprint tech, very few people at Sprint - much less techs - know anything about ODIN, and most wouldn't take the time to verify. In our area (and ASAIK, nationally), we aren't technically allowed to use ODIN since it wasn't built by and for Sprint, but I've used it if it meant getting a phone working again.
Point is, unless the phone is obviously rooted (e.g. has custom ROMs or still has root apps installed and root/ROM files on the SD card), I've never seen nor heard of anyone being denied service or a new phone. As long as you put your phone back to stock beforehand, you should be fine!

I'm sorry if any of these are insulting to you intelligence, but do you have Green Power or Juice Defender (or any app that claims to save battery life and may turn off radios to do so)? Also, have you noticed if the DL speed issue is restricted to one locale, or are you experiencing ****ty speeds pretty much across the board?

It's kind of hit or miss... As for the apps the only similar one would be a battery calibration app. Could that cause my missed text? That's probably my biggest gripe.

I have that app on this phone and another and used to use it on my Epic. I don't think it should be causing you any problems. That being said, its always there for free on the Market. You could uninstall it and just add it back after a flash of something

Sorry I've had spotty internet at my house lately... thankfully there are things like tethering after I give up trying to fix it!
JohnCorleone is right, it's probably not the battery app, but you could try uninstalling and seeing if that makes a difference.
On top of that, I would uninstall any 3rd party texting apps if you have them (e.g. Handcent or Go SMS), seeing if that fixes the issue, and proceeding from there. Not all of them cause problems for everyone, but some of them do cause issues for some people.
Try to update your PRL and Data Profile (Menu --> Settings --> About Phone --> Update PRL and then Profile), and beyond that, someone will probably have to get their hands on the phone and determine if it's a phone issue or a network problem. The only thing besides that you could try doing would be calling into tech support and asking them to check the latency times on messages if you seem to be having problems specifically with other carriers (esp. Verizon).
I hope that helps, but I have a bad feeling it won't take care of things...

[Q] Battery bug

So my least favorite part about running custom roms on this phone is the "freeze at 45%, reboot to 6%" bug. Does anyone know if this is ever going to be fixed? Or if it is even a real"bug"? Do other phones experience this or just Galaxy S? I don't remember it being an issue when I ran stock, though honestly it was probably only for like a week.

Like this.

Result 4​

Been running custom ROMs since December 2010 and never got a freeze ran all the way down to 3%.

Because this question does not retain to the Atrix 4G (though I am curious as to whether the flashable in that thread would work on cm9 for our phones.) and the other thread you posted is just more lames like you thinking this problem has been solved for the Epic. Now the whole point of a forum is to be able to ask questions in Q+A because others might know the answer already.. but I HAVE googled this (yes even with the site:xda-developers.com filter) and all I can find as far as the epic goes is people telling others to plug their charger in while its off to calibrate it. That doesn't help if you don't have a charger and it doesn't answer my question about whether or not it will be truly fixed for the epic and not "handy manned".. so basically unless you can post a thread that has a flashable software fix or a thread containing above said fix for this then please don't bother and keep your smart ass responses to yourself.
Edit: gushy apology later in thread.

Your lucky... I've had it run down to 2-3%. It sucks when your nowhere near a charger.

never had a problem running my battery all the way down to 1% with the stock 1500mah and the et4g 1800mah batteries. I do remember a couple of the GB leaks that would occasionally shutdown before they hit 5% but lets be honest, that was expected of buggy leaks. Since moving to CM7/CM9/AOKP zero battery issues. Sure, some days i barely make it through the day off the charger, but most days i'm good to go. I do on occasion see the "reboot your phone with 40% battery and boots back up at 15%" "bug" but i don't reboot my phone that often like that, normally i'll shut it down and don't have that issue.

Yeah I've never had it just die on me because it was reporting juice and was actually dead.. and I'll have to test and see if it does it when I do a complete shutdown cause I almost never shut it down. Almost always involuntary reboots for me that come back up with anywhere from 2%-20% .

I've ran mine down to literally 0% it shows an X for battery and it was still on and running but i soon shut it off so i could charge it haha

OP, are you undervolting? If so that is the probable cause of you freezes when your battery gets under 50%. It is not a glass full of energy. Percentage is a direct correlation to voltage. 100% is 4.2V, I believe 0% is 3.7V. As you get below 50% that undervolting will drop even further. As for the percentage fifference it is usually a false reading based on the heat of the battery lowering the voltage reading during the intense drain of rebooting. Usually taking the battery out for a few minutes to cool will bring it back to the 40% or so.

First off, I may have misunderstood your question, but I did provide a response, regardless. Responding as an ungrateful tool is unnecessary.
And as to not "pertaining" to the Atrix, you DID ask if other phones were affected.
But to the point, I mistook your question to be simply asking why the phone misreads the battery level upon reboot as mentioned:

I see now that you quite literally mean that your phone is failing to report below a certain level until it dies. To answer your question, I've never seen this, but it would help if you would provide basic information.
1. Rom Tested
2. Undervolting/Overclocking settings
3. Any additional changes you've made after installing a rom
This doesn't sound like a typical battery reporting error others have experienced. Are you undervolting?
P.S. Grow a sense of humor. You'll live longer.

My bad your right. I never work mornings and am in a horrible mood because I happen to be working with my *****y manager (who never works mornings either) and we are clashing hardcore. Sorry I jumped down your throat. To answer ya'lls question I am on cm9 beta 3, but have always had random reboots once in awhile so honestly while its an experimental build I don't think that's the cause of my reboots I'm on the latest Shadow kernel. No undervolting. But anyway the purpose of this thread isn't really to find out why I'm getting reboots (though I appreciate you guys trying to help me find that out too) but rather to find out why my battery drains so much afterwards. So yes you were correct in your original assumtion.

Fair enough ;-).
All I can say is that with the full battery circle mod, rebooting often shows a really low percentage. If you leave it, it usually slowly rises back to where it should be... not sure that's your problem.

I understand what the OP is saying, and I too have this problem. Mostly when I go to cwm and return. My battery sometimes goes from a 60 or even 70 to a 5-19%. Its not all that's bad of a problem because I know that I have more than that in my battery. But it makes the phone scary because you never know when it'll blow up on you lol.

Exactly. and today I did a little experiment. I drained to 50% percent and did a manual reboot. I did like kenny and random suggested and let it cool down before I rebooted and while it was better.. it was still not correct... I rebooted to around 25%. Now the atrix folks in that forum apparently have a flashable software fix for this that works. Does anyone wanna take that apart and see if they can work for us? Sorry this just seems so fixable I'm honestly surprised that with our kickin dev community nobody's worked on it.

I have had issues with my old extended battery on multiple roms not reading correctly. no matter what i did on both foryo and gb so far have had good luck with the 1800. i have also had issues of rebooting on with my extended.

I'm not turning it on, it is doing so automatically

So out of those 18 hours you never turned your screen on? Then you have a ghost of a phone bro! I've never seen that or anyone report that their phone turned on by itself with out getting a call or a text (if your phone is setup like that)... Maybe someone else will help you with more knowledge. No need to make multiple posts about your stuff either. Either here are or in the CM10 thread would've sufficed.

My phone will do this sometimes aswell, only thing that has worked is a reset when I discover it happening.

Unfortunately, I remember having this problem too, but I experienced it on stock ROM both before and after I rooted. I'd have my phone sitting idle nearby and the screen would come on for no reason and would stay on indefinitely regardless of the screen timeout settings, until I manually turned it off. Sometimes it would only happen every couple hours, other times it would happen every 10 minutes or so. Was a major pain in the ass.
Every time it happened, there was never a message or alert of any kind received that would explain the phone waking on its own.
Sadly I was never able to figure out the cause but the issue resolved itself much later on after I had to revive my phone from an unrelated soft brick.

I've ran stock for maybe a total of a week since this phone came out, so it's easy for me to have never seen this before.

Hey buddy, I meant no ill words or anything. I usually am not hostile, I just don't text with attitude (Good or bad) really. People misunderstand that all the time, this is the internet, put your emotions away. I'm 100% serious. If people were to be more helpful then just saying "me too", the issue can be solved or at least have a reason of why it is happening. Post what roms/apps they are using, when the awakening happens, and what apps are running in the background.... those kind of post are helpful and can help pin point what is going on.

I'm having some type of similar issue as yours. Except my phone randomly reboots or just doesn't turn on at all. I've noticed this more recently then in the past.
My phone isn't over clocked or under volted. Governors that I am running are On demand and scheduler is on deadline.
I, too also get random and I mean random screen wake. I thought maybe my phone may be faulty? I read somewhere in the FAQ's section stating S3's with faulty power buttons? Does that have anything to do with this?
Also, OP, did you check to see if any apps are running in the background keeping the phone up? Or is it just randomly keeping the phone "on"?

I just got 2 and a half days off my new Anker. Try clearing the ram in task manager. Will help kill rogue apps. For some damn reason if I use slacker for 5 minutes even it will stay running for like 8 hours, even if I'm signed off. Something is draining your battery you just have to figure out what it is. Apps can get stuck running and kill your battery.

Something seems to be wrong, very wrong. How many hours has the screen been on? Unless the screen on time is +4,5 - 5 hours you need to find an app that more closely checks battery usage.

Up where it shows the % left and says discharging, tap on it and down at the bottom of the graph, does it show your phone being awake more than the screen is on? Maybe post a screen shot. Also, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2133436 Have you tried BBS yet? What does it show in your kernel wakelocks? And as stated, heavy gaming=heavy battery discharge...what is your screen on time?

Thanks for the replies guys and I only played real racing 3 for 30 minutes only. Screen time is less then 2 hours I constantly have a good signal, I looked for a battery drain app but it said it'd take 3 days to show actual results. And I can't read BBS.

You may want to get better battery stats from the store and look at the partial wakes and see if an app preventing sleep.
I was getting sucky battery live too, not that bad though. I ended downloading the latest stock rom for the N7105 (XXXDMB6) stick with the stock Tmobile modem. I'm running saber kernel 17. I then use Setcpu and select pegasusq and zen options on the main page. Battery life has been much improved. Everything I have tried that is built on a TMobile rom has sucked in battery life for me.

Damn dude. I'm going 4 hours and almost 2 hours screen on of fb videos and temple run. And JM at 82%

You must have some crazy wakelocks going on. Like other guy said, check you battery and where it has that graph on it, click it and compare the awake with on-screen times and if not matching up and see more awake hash marks, then have a rouge app keeping the phone awake, which will hit on the battery.
Can do the Ram issue, however will come right back.
Honestly best way to do it, is reset phone/wipe and add one app back at a time.
I have wakelocks too, but nothing crazy. That and have an extended battery, so don't care to wipe yet.
Kind of a hassle, but probably your best option.

Or download better battery stats and post the logs here and some of us who can read it can help you out. Other wise everybody is taking shots in the dark trying to fix it

Until you post screen shots of the individual app times along with the general battery use no one can help you.

Those threads are different issues as is this one if u don't like my threads don't comment seriously if I was really being a problem, a mod would have contacted me by now don't u think?

I agree. This is your FOURTH new thread related to battery? And in evey one you are told to get BBS and report in their thread yet you don't do it. All you are doing is cluttering the boards. Stop making new threads all the time for no reason. How many people have to tell you this before you listen?

Go ahead, report. Maybe a mod will finally pay attention to what you're doing. Read the forum rules. Or at least listen and follow the advice people give you.

This is your answer to each and every battery thread you've started. This has been told to you each and every time. You have never done it. You do not need to start a new thread every time you have a question. Either take the advice people have given you or stop asking so many questions. Next time you have a battery related question go to the BBS thread and post your log. I swear, I hope i never see you post another battery thread again.
Is it just me or does anyone else seriously think this guy is trolling?
BTW, how's that BBS log coming along?

I will pay if someone can make call recording work with wifi calling!!!

I know there has been a lot of discussion about this but I am gonna bring it up again....
Call recording on WiFi...I cannot get cellular here at my house most of the time so I must resort to using wifi. I had someone call me and threaten my life last week and I was not able to record the conversation..

With all due respect, this advice is absolutely terrible.

I of course can't make any promises as I don't really use this feature so i havent spent much time working on anything with it in the past, but ill try to look at what's out there later tonight.

Almost all out there don't work on WiFi calling as reports have gone across and not many devs seem to worry about it as they don't have the need for it or they don't even have T-Mobile so it's 100% not in their interest to spend time on it, totally understandable.
There is also the option of Google Voice maybe??

That's pretty much what I was thinking. Also that the best chance for finding one that works may be to try the apps from the store such as Total Recall and Call Recorder from ?svkalex?. There's a dev thread for his somewhere here on xda. It may help to pose this question on his thread if he doesn't already have it working
I wonder if any of the old ICS roms would be able to do this? They get forgotten easily, but had call recording enabled in some of those too.

Every situation is different, and in this case there is a child present. You don't take chances when you have a kid with you, period.
I understand where you may be coming from as well, but there is no minimizing it when a child could be in danger. Even if you're positive its just an evil prank, you don't take the chance of being wrong, because you only have to be wrong once....

You don't know this is a male either, it may be a female dealing with a crazed male that is 300lbs.
What about ICS if she goes back to 4.0.4 did it work back then on WiFi calling?

I don't know. I just know several roms had call recording and it was easier to implement on ics. Figured it'd be worth a try at least.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

Update: Tried several apps w/JB and no progress. I was trying to get an understanding why and I do have a theory. Basically, the call recorders all interface with the Qualcomm cellular radio to record from the uplink/downlink streams. On our S3's, wifi is handled by a separate Broadcom chip. So it would probably require either writing new code from scratch or a major rework of existing call recorders to work.
Like I said though, its just a theory, but it kind of makes sense I think. Its highly possible I could be completely wrong too.
There are still a few things ill try, but unfortunately, I'm starting to think it may be well beyond my ability to solve. I've got my daughter today so it may not be until later tonight before I can try much else. I will update when I have some more info though.
In the meantime, try calling T-Mobile customer care (ask for retentions if you've been with them for several years). Try first to just explain that you just have very weak signal and ask about their cellular signal booster (actual name escapes me atm). If it seems like you need to, explain your situation and why you are in need of it. (You could first try saying you are about to drop your broadband service, and won't have wifi calling available anymore. Also that you may be forced to look into switching carriers if this can't be solved. This is precisely what retentions is for). I'd avoid getting into explaining the need for call recording if possible, and if it seems you may have to but it wouldn't match what you've already said, you may want to call back and speak to a new rep first.
Some people have reported outstanding results with the signal booster, while others have said it didn't help a bit, so ymmv. But it is another option and T-Mobile has been known to provide these free of charge to some customers for home use only where they have weak coverage.
If you can get one of these and it does work for you, it would eliminate the need for wifi calling and you could use one of several recording solutions "as is".
Note: check T-Mobile 's coverage map and get an idea of what they claim their signal quality is for your home address before calling. And just use your best judgement for what you want to tell them. It could also turn out that if you tell them exactly what you told us, they'll be more willing to help you. I'm just not sure on this one. Maybe someone else can chime in with an opinion for you.

I have heard you can get a range extender from your provider which is like a mini-cell tower if you're confirmed to be out of the service area. You'd contact your mobile provider and an have them go over the coverage map with you -- yada yada and they should help you in some way. ESPECIALLY if you threaten to leave them. Don't forget to try that if they give you a hard time.

I hope everything has been going ok. Just wondering since we haven't heard from you since you opened the thread.
Anyway, an additional small update. I have tried several apps and a couple of roms with no luck. I'm downloading two ICS roms now so will try them tomorrow. They were both two of the best we've had on here in the past, FreeGS3 and FrostyICS. If I can't get it to work on these its going to end up requiring codework that's going to be beyond my ability I'm afraid.
The closest I've come was using Skvalex's Call Recorder. Using the Alsa Mixer as the recording method, it was able to attempt to record, but the file was just dead air. I think its still trying to record off the cell radio, not the wifi radio. All other settings failed to even start.
So I hope you don't mind, but I've posted in Skvalex's thread to ask him about this. I did include your story in hopes that it would have a better chance at sparking a reply, both for solutions and other options. If you do not want me doing this, ill edit it out right away.
Again, I hope all is well and that you and your little girl are staying safe!

I really want to thank all of you for looking into this. I have been praying about it daily. My ex-wifes boyfriend is the one that started all of this. Went to pick up my daughter from her mom and boyfriends and he attacked me while my daughter was getting in the car...she was hysterical watching all of this...I handed my phone to her to call 911 and she couldnt..(to hysterical at the time) Then her mom took the phone from her and would not give it back. I finally was able to get out of the car and managed to grab the phone from my ex-wife and then me and my daughter ran to the street and called the police.
The police came and arrested the boyfriend for battery and my ex-wife for interfering with a 911 call.
Then a week later the boyfriends dad called me twice telling me to drop the charges on his son or he would cut my fu**ing balls off and kill me!
The father is a bit psycho from what my daughter told me and I know that he was in the military and has a wide selection of firearms at his house that is about 2 miles from me.....SO, I immediately called the police on him and they arrested him for verbal assault and interference with a state protected witness.
I am even more concerned about a payback, but I know I did the right thing by calling the police on him.
OK, now everyone knows the story...I am a disabled 45 year old father with a 9 year old daughter....She is scared as am I. I just wanted to have some peice of mind that if I got a call I would have proof besides the call log...
Please do not go out of your way though trying to get this working. I have the Lord Jesus on my side and I fell comfortable that we will be safe in regards to this matter.
To answer your question Doc...I have tried S3Rx 1.5, Dandroid, Wicked v10, and z999...Those I know for sure. I know some people say theirs worked but mine definately does not. The only true way to test it is to be out of range of a cell signal and then try it on wifi.
Again, thank you all and may God bless you and your loved ones!! :angel:

Wow....That is a hell of a situation. I am sorry you and your daughter are having to go through all of that. My daughter is 7 and I could only try to imagine what I would be going through if all of that were happening to me. Some people are just really screwed up in the head and, IMO, have no business being in a position of influence over any child. I just hope you are able to get some sort of restraining order and full custody if you dont already have it. Personally, though, I honestly would be arming myself. All too often, the only way to actually Stop a bad guy with a gun, is for a good guy with a gun to intervene.
Anyway, a bit more on topic. My daughter had her meet and greet with her new teacher today so I was gone most all day long. Im making a new nandroid backup now, and will try to test a couple more things out in the next hour or two.
And it really is not a big deal. If I can help find a way to do this, then I just hope it can help give you guys even just a little piece of mind. (No, I am not doing this in response to your thread title btw. I'd rather you spend your money on your daughter, especially if you can get her something or do something for her that can help her get through all of this.)
Oh and consider calling T-Mobile as I mentioned before. It could be a better solution than this and its probably best to try talking to them sooner than later.
Hang in there man! We will keep you guys in our prayers.

Ok, sorry I didnt post yesterday, but I really had nothing new to add unfortunately. I have tried several roms, apps, mods with no luck on this at all.
I am pretty sure it would require someone to modify the code for WiFi Calling to allow recording. And then it would have to also have to be modded to integrate call recording as I don't think this would allow any 3rd party apps to work anyway.
I have sent Skvalex, the developer of Call Recorder on the Play Store an email. I was told he was away and not able to respond in the thread, but he should still be able to receive and reply to his emails about the app. At this point, I am just waiting to see if he has any ideas or if he thinks he might be able to add the functionality to his app. Other than that, I am just not sure of what else I can do right now. Though if I think of anything, I will certainly let you know. And of course, I will post again once I hear back from Skvalex.
I do hope your situation has improved over the last couple of days. I am really sorry I was not able to come up with anything for you. But if there is anything else I can help with, do let me know.
Take care!
Anyone else have any ideas on this issue???
