[Q] T-Mobile Data Usage Check on Rooted S3? - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

OK, so I have a rooted S3 running the FrostyJB ROM. When I try using the USSD code to check my data usage (#932#), I get a message that my account is not set up for that feature. Also, both the TMO My Account app and the mytmobile website do not show my data usage, although they do show usage for minutes and text messages.
I ran into a TMO store, and they couldn't figure it out but said it may be due to root. Thoughts? I would like to be able to check my data usage, and every time I flash a ROM, it resets the data usage stats on the phone. Very annoying.

Does your IMEI in the About Phone section match whats on the back of your phone under the battery? Just a stab in the dark with that one...

Screw you. I posted in the General section and went back and tried deleting it. It didn't work. It's people like you that keep new people away from these forums, moron.

CCHEEL,
Don't let that get to you. In life there are, and we will meet MANY, ass4oles!
Just the tag of Moderator or Senior Member, seems to bring out the SH1TS in some people. There are some mods that have HUGE Signature tags and that in itself takes far more space than a small question, and they post nasties on other users in the forum, declaring why the post was moved, etc.. Some of them think they s4it ice cream and pi$$ Coca Cola.... Can't let it take the rest of us members of the forum down. Most of us recognize the childish a$$hole behavior and ignore them. They think they walk on water and talk to god. Hopefully they will either grow up or die away.... Hang in there and keep smiling. You made my day with your retort! (it was just about to the point as can be, without saying the word you wanted to say) LOL You know how it is,.... Hang a title on a piece of s4it and he thinks he's become God! Don't worry. Respect is EARNED and posts like what was done does in no way garner any respect.
Keep smiling, and the forum is for us all! You Me and any a$$hole that comes along, I guess.
just my 2 cents.

Honestly no one wants to hear it from some jackass that TALKED SOOOOOOO MUCH **** ABOUT SOFTWARE ROOT ANYWAY. Follow the rules and search before posting useless information that has been already posted! No one cares that you just found this out and you really don't need to open a thread every time you find something new out. This isn't Twitter. This is why the Dinc2 community is CRAP. No one even wants to Dev for us because some of us are ungrateful jerks. People don't forget, and if I recall correctly let me show you how grateful you are.

It took me a whole 3 minutes tops, because I know how to use the SEARCH button. and I can't SPAM a USELESS thread, this will be deleted once you waste a Mods time and they get around to it.

its not worth argueing with him andybones,hes obviously an idiot who simply cant do a search before posting a crappy useless thread
I have to check the website. Curious if there is a way to block users who spam the forum. I actually hope a mod deletes it, nobody wants to hear your useless arguing. As for me creating useless threads, I think I have created 3 threads total so far, and one of them helped quite a few people with their alarm clock issues.
For now I am just going to manually ignore you guys. Type away at me, not even going to bother reading them. I will be the mature one.
Edit: wow, just checked my other thread and you argued with someone else in that thread. Do you actually do anything on this site besides argue with others because reading through your comment history it sure seems like all you do is argue, you are ignored for sure.

I may not be getting OTA in my location. So I went fishing and came across this.

They claim it is the same as the OTA but since it can be RUU'ed will work on all phones, incl. those with modification to the ROM.
Has anybody tried this one? Also, since I have never gone the RUU route some additional instructions will be most welcome.

If you are not s off, just flash it. If it has been tampered with than the update should fail. It isn't todays ota though, it is the one from a few weeks ago.
Sent from my ADR6350 using Tapatalk
Thanks @kingsway8605. This is the only one I could find. About two weeks old. Any other URL's?
Presumably the flashing involved copying the file (with changed name) to SD card root. Remove the USB cable and then do <volume down> + <power>. I hope the follow up is pretty simple and straight forward. I do not have much Android experience.

#samsung-epic-touch: now under new management

Okay guys, after the ridiculous debacle today, those of us who frequent the IRC channels decided that it was time for a change.
For most of the day, that change was moving to a new channel. However, after some talking a few of us actually got cnz(RoadRAGEN) to listen to reason. He's turned over control of the room to an unbiased bot and gave a number of us operator passwords. To top it off, he's agreed to stay off the op list unless absolutely necessary (he won't be raging out anymore, he has his own private channel for that now). The rest of us can sign into the bot and get ops so we can keep peace and order if needed. Otherwise, the only people who get automatic ops are the bots and no one else.
Okay, first the one and only new rule. No more posting logs on xda. the moderators are probably sick of it by now and it accomplishes nothing besides starting fights. if you do post logs and we catch you, you'll get banned until you take it down. To make it worse, we don't stop cnz from doing it himself. It's counterproductive and stupid.
Lastly, cnz(RoadRAGEN) said he will dial it down inside the channel and around here. He had a talk with the moderators today and we had a talk with him in the channel. XDA didn't ban him and neither will we. It was talked about for a minute...but he banned me first...it was a fiasco. BUT, it's fixed now.
Now before you get all apprehensive, remember that despite cnz being a complete douchebag who often forgets what "crossed the line" means, he's still one of our most talented developers and has contributed a lot to this young community. Every rom up in here either directly uses his original updater script, uses a heavily modded version or pieces of it. Yes, sometimes he's incredibly insensitive and no one in their right minds would defend his personality or his actions (especially today), but he understands what happened here today and knows that doing it again is stupid.
It's all about the Android so you can come out from under your beds, the boogieman isn't also the doorman anymore.
If you're still angry about the incident, it's understandable. But remember, like xda, irc is a community and in no way do the actions today represent the community as a whole. It was as a community that we discussed the problem and it was a community that we dealt with it. So don't think this decision was made lightly.
If you don't agree, please keep the flaming to yourself. We don't need another out of control thread about IRC around here.

Yes, but it might take a minute, we're still kinda learning how to operate under the "bot is god" paradigm.

I seem to have missed all that, so I guess I'm the ignorant party at the moment. I really don't think the changes made or this thread should be held responsible for the unwieldy comments of others, though. I've been nothing but civil in all this
But I don't blame you, though. I can't imagine people are going quietly into that good night and I'm sure I've been getting my fair share of the flames as well for trying to mediate all this nonsense.
I wasn't pointing the blame in any particular direction.

Of course not, I didn't mean to insinuate that lol.
When I went to bed last night everyone was on the same page, but I got a bunch of PMs saying I was "flamed by some noob" and the thread/posts are gone (I guess that was your doing lol, thank you). I was just saying the angry words of a few don't represent the opinions of the rest of us.
People have their opinions. That's not illegal yet, so I'm not offended. However, if my name is eventually going to be Mudd, then I'll probably end up ceasing my attempts to help out and go back to my little corner to make roms again

Hey guys just fyi, I'm not associated with the channel anymore. After nearly a dozen PMs in IRC and almost another dozen on here about how I'm a hate monger and a jerk off, I've decided that it's not worth it and I've had enough.
To all of you who PMed me with negative things, you should be ashamed of yourselves.
To those of you who appreciated the efforts, sorry I couldn't do more.
Being ostracized because I refuse to bend to Mob Rule just feels wrong to me, but that's what is happening. Apparently I was being offensive by treating everyone with equal respect without discrimination and not being an anti-cnz hate monger like everyone else.
It sucks, I liked that irc channel, but there's capable people running it still. I won't be going back. I'm tired of being nearly constantly flamed for trying to be fair and helpful.
*sigh* I feel better now. Peace guys.

Applications on rooted devices

Can an application I have purchased and downloaded for my SGII work in other phone or device? or do I have to buy it again to install it on the other device?
Thanks all; Just wondering and learning
If the app was purchased on Android Market you should have no problem redownloading it onto any future phone you buy and enter the same google account at initial setup that you used to purchase the app.
Do not post in the development section.

Ignorance isn't a good excuse. Just apologize and do the right thing and start a thread in the appropriate place.
It's ridiculous the amount of people just tossing things out without taking a moment to stop and see what the deal is. Being new doesn't give you the right to just do what you want. If you are new, you should be even more careful... no? That's how people brick their phone--they don't take the time to read things carefully and that's what gets them in trouble.

I know it can be frustrating at times especially when you need an answer asap.. but there may be a few reasons why no one answers your question
-its been asked way too many times (search for it)
-no one understands your question or knows the answer
-the evo 4g isn't neccesarily "new" therefore there's less traffic in this forum
-People work have other things to deal with and it may be a while (sometimes a long while) before you get an answer.

Basically covered all the reasons why not to reply.
And when your question is about MetroPCS (I checked), you're less likely to get replies because the vast majority of members here use Sprint.
If there's a specific site for phones flashed to other networks, you'd be better asking there. People can't answer what they don't know.

Not going to beat a dead horse here but another tip here that you didn't hear from me is the bump. You posted that question 5 days ago and I assume was 3-5 pages back by now. I usually give my post a day then go back in and post the "anyone figure this out yet?" bump. Usually it will get a response. Like they already said, this forum is over a year old. Most have moved on and the ones that are here with the answers usually only bounce in and out of their own Rom threads.

That being said this thread was started to see if it got attention. Which it did. No whining just sharing my thoughts on why we should be able to post anywhere. Since experienced user's don't chill in the q & a?

Experienced users do post in the Q & A section. And to make a thread just to see if it gets attention seems like a trap / childish [to me] , just like a person would pretend to have a fake bf/gf to see if the other gets jealous. Though regardless, experienced user do post here, I've seen it quite frequently. IF there were some question that wasn't answered and someone knows someone who can help, 9/10 that personal would say, "I don't know how to help,but if you look up _______ they can help you."
Also, the only place you can't post til abot 20 posts or so, if the development section. That's only because a lot of new users post Q & A questions there, clogging up that board, when they belong here. You can still read and download rom, just can't post there til ~20 posts, when you are more 'educated' on the forum. No bad mouthing, just saying.
I totally understand cause yea you do see it all the time where at the end of a guide full of roms. Someone asks what's a good rom or where do I find it. We should be able to take a test on experience to bypass the 20 post thing. My frustration came from knowing my answered would of lyed on this forum but no one even viewed it for days. I'm over that's what I get for getting a device that's over a year old. But hey its a big step up from my old one.

Well a lot of people still have the evo. And you can always try the bump, or if you see someone active on the forum, shoot them a pm; they'll most likely help you.
Maybe ill make my 20 posts of this thread. Jk I shouldn't really need much help on this device now that o know my data stays even when I flash roms that was my main concern.

That's what was confusing I see so much activity on the evo threads everywhere. I figured my question had to be seen. And like someone else up here said usuallybsomeone familiar with the forum will send you in the right directioon if they themselves don't know the answer.

well its self-explanatory.. every tmobile s3 does this when a busy call comes in. its a factory stock rom. and no special dial pad.

Actually it is not self explanatory since you ARE on XDA.. did you do the basic factory reset first?
My phone has done this on every ROM I've tried I think. Including stock. Very annoying

actually he doesnt. otherwise, he'd know exactly how the phone functions when its busy. anyone can say anything in his signature, it doesnt mean its necessarily true. take it easy and offer some solutions to new comers to the forum.

Ahhhh yes we all like to edit our signatures and put in images or text about phones that we do not own and then we like to post in forums of phones we don't own. Well surprise I own a SGS3 (Not just 1 but 4 in my house) and I guess because the area I live in is so far advanced I have never had this "lockscreen when busy" happen because people from my planet all have CALL WAITING or VOICE MAIL which would be why I posted my initial reply to you.
In closing I'm sure with your positive and kind personality you have shown many will run to your rescue and provide a possible solution. I wait with excitement.

I agree. Keep this up and infractions will follow. This is the second report I have had about this thread.
Fix the problem and move on.

no not a little out of hand.. why dont you say the same thing to others who have 1st flamed up the thread? thats a good question.
if youve never seen an s3 lockscreened on a busy signal then you dont own an s3.

I think around 2005. Before smart phones were even popular. Times sure have changed.
Or if you call yourself? Nvm it went to voicemail

i'm going to tell u this as nice as possible.. i dont want you replying to my threads anymore.. DONT REPLY TO ANY OF MY THREADS ANYMORE AND DONT PM ME, OTHERWISE I WILL REPORT YOU TO THE MODS FOR HARASSMENT.
You can use the Ignore option to put anyone on your Ignore list. Click on the person's name and then Add To Ignore list. Then you will not see his/her posts, but if that person happens to have something benificial, you will not see that either.
Anyone can use the report button but it is for specific reasons/rule violations. If you see anything that breaks those, by all means report it but there has to be a justifiable reason behind the report for it to be actioned.

Are you following me around? Keeping a journal on me or something? I'm hard on people because they have 0 posts and make new threads on topics that have multiple threads each less than a few days old..
While I may be a **** I also try to be helpful at the same time and not have a piss poor attitude to the people who are trying to help.
