Searching S4GRU Forums

I've been trying to find a couple of posts for finding my MSL, etc that I know I've seen in several places on the site. However, whenever I try to do any sort of search through the forums on the S4GRU website (haven't tried through tapatalk) I get no results.

 

Even went with searching for generic terms like msl or prl just to see if any search would work and still get no results returned.

 

Has anyone else seen the same issues or have any suggestions for searching the forums? I know I've searched in the past and gotten results, maybe something's going on with IPBoard?

 

Thanks.

Get a app called get my msl from the playstore and install it. After installing go to phone dialer. Type ##3282# and select edit enter 222222 which is wrong. Exit out of phone dialer. Start get my msl and it should show you what you're msl is.

Thanks. I tried that app, but it wasn't working on my GS3. Kept getting "ERROR: Could not get property ril.MSL". Even tried the command line methods to get using "getprop ril.MSL" but that returns nothing. Did just getprop and it showed a bunch of properties but ril.MSL was not among them.

if you have (or can borrow) an old/unused sprint phone, you can swap phones via the sprint web and sprint will email you the MSL (for both phones).

Thanks dedub. That's what I was trying to search for in the first place. I thought it was in the prl thread...knew I had seen it somewhere in the last couple of days.

 

Which lead to this thread, why doesn't search seem to work in the forums?

The search function never works for me either. It always returns a bunch of irrelevant threads. I have to search for an ultra-specific keyword that I know ONLY appears in that thread. Makes it harder to find information especially 60+ page threads.

From what I can tell, the SEARCH function will not work with only 3 characters.

Did follow my exact instructions. Because it does work on th GS3.

 

Tried it on my Note II, just for kicks, and it worked like a charm. Thanks! :tu:

    • Since this is kind of the general chat thread, I have to share this humorous story (at least it is to me): Since around February/March of this year, my S22U has been an absolute pain to charge. USB-C cables would immediately fall out and it progressively got worse and worse until it often took me a number of minutes to get the angle of the cable juuuussst right to get charging to occur at all (not exaggerating). The connection was so weak that even walking heavily could cause the cable to disconnect. I tried cleaning out the port with a stable, a paperclip, etc. Some dust/lint/dirt came out but the connection didn't improve one bit. Needless to say, this was a MONSTER headache and had me hating this phone. I just didn't have the finances right now for a replacement.  Which brings us to the night before last. I am angry as hell because I had spent five minutes trying to get this phone to charge and failed. I am looking in the port and I notice it doesn't look right. The walls look rough and, using a staple, the back and walls feel REALLY rough and very hard. I get some lint/dust out with the staple and it improves charging in the sense I can get it to charge but it doesn't remove any of the hard stuff. It's late and it's charging, so that's enough for now. I decide it's time to see if that hard stuff is part of the connector or not. More aggressive methods are needed! I work in a biochem lab and we have a lot of different sizes of disposable needles available. So, yesterday morning, while in the lab I grab a few different sizes of needles between 26AWG and 31 AWG. When I got home, I got to work and start probing the connector with the 26 AWG and 31 AWG needle. The stuff feels extremely hard, almost like it was part of the connector, but a bit does break off. Under examination of the bit, it's almost sandy with dust/lint embedded in it. It's not part of the connector but instead some sort of rock-hard crap! That's when I remember that I had done some rock hounding at the end of last year and in January. This involved lots of digging in very sandy/dusty soils; soils which bare more than a passing resemblance to the crap in the connector. We have our answer, this debris is basically compacted/cemented rock dust. Over time, moisture in the area combined with the compression from inserting the USB-C connector had turned it into cement. I start going nuts chiseling away at it with the 26 AWG needle. After about 5-10 minutes of constant chiseling and scraping with the 26AWG and 31AWG needles, I see the first signs of metal at the back of the connector. So it is metal around the outsides! Another 5 minutes of work and I have scraped away pretty much all of the crap in the connector. A few finishing passes with the 31AWG needle, a blast of compressed air, and it is time to see if this helped any. I plug my regular USB-C cable and holy crap it clicks into place; it hasn't done that since February! I pick up the phone and the cable has actually latched! The connector works pretty much like it did over a year ago, it's almost like having a brand new phone!
    • That's odd, they are usually almost lock step with TMO. I forgot to mention this also includes the September Security Update.
    • 417.55 MB September security update just downloaded here for S24+ unlocked   Edit:  after Sept security update install, checked and found a 13MB GP System update as well.  Still showing August 1st there however. 
    • T-Mobile is selling the rest of the 3.45GHz spectrum to Columbia Capital.  
    • Still nothing for my AT&T and Visible phones.
