[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarryH_GEG:
The medianet plan no longer exists. Anyone on it has been grandfathered. There's a couple of other unlimited 3G plans that have been grandfathered too. The new unlimited plan is data for non-Smartphones. It's only available on post-paid plans. It's $15 a month stand-alone or $10 a month when bundled with an unlimited messaging plan.

The GoPhone plan is $50 a month for unlimited talk, text, and data for non-smartphones. It's a prepaid plan and it doesn't allow you to roam off the AT&T network or add calling features to your plan.

Pre and post-paid plans are run through two totally different systems and are tracked and billed differently. People on post-paid unlimited plans have gotten up to 8MB down so access to fake-4G speeds are available. People have had different results based on which grandfathered plan they're on. I'm using a new data for non-Smartphone plan which I started when I got the SGS2 and am getting fake-4G speeds where offered.

The GoPhone plan is tracked differently and has different APNs. People have reported pretty poor download speeds. Additionally, monitoriing data use for prepaid customers is a lot easier and there's a strong chance excessive use will be flagged.

The majority of people here are on post-paid plans with only a handful on a GoPhone prepaid plan. You can always try GoPhone and set up a post-paid plan if it doesn't work out.

Another Q

does it work with GingerDX or any other custom rom or just stock Eclair?
[XPERIA X8 General] AntwnhsAnt:
It's working good only on GingerDX..on other roms it will have problems like bootloops...
[XPERIA X8 General] sapabg:
I am an idiot :)

Just checked the original post and saw that doixanh said that he uses it with his GingerDX..so sorry for the spam but another question...do I have to unlock the bootloader or it will work only with the instructions from his post...thanks for the patience everybody and for the good work...once you go DX you never go back :D keep it up!

[XPERIA X8 General] Cancar96:
everything is fine only wifi is not working yet...
[XPERIA X8 General] IdeosDev:
may try out the kernel but without wifi.. >><<
[XPERIA X8 General] gxaris:
Everything is clear about the famous "swap". so in other words to use the swap feature of DX's kernel we need to install apps from market to activate

thank you for the clarification :)
[XPERIA X8 General] sandy_tea:
Don't forget that u have to create ext.3 / 4 partition to make it work as well..but it may as well reduce the life of your sdcard
[XPERIA X8 General] Sew00:
No need.

You can use a swap file too.

Besides, it's not really measurable if it's going to reduce your sdcard lifetime, and even if it does, who would want to have an sdcard for more than two years.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heXkil:
Seems as if all OEM launchers are buggier/laggier over time when run on top of a TW/Custom TW UI. GoEX is by far the slickest as far as effects/customizations. It is not that damn laggy people, though I do enjoy the easy add-abillity of "Anycut" like system activity Custom Shortcuts. Seems over and over though that GoEX is the 1st to start the .comprovider fc's and stuff, but they all do over the top of system TW UI. And furthermore the truly fakt thing is that a full-wipe re-install is the only cure.

Can tell you from many trials that ADW EX lasts longest with the most scrollable widget laden screens. Yeah I know, K l U n K y.

But hey, I am on Justin's Rebirth EC05 RC1 with Go Launcher, his Custom TW, and ADW EX all installed with Circle launcher, Beautiful Widgets 4x1,GoChat,Google+,Pure Grid Calendar,Pure Messenger on 3 Screens on each launcher-with ViperPad underneath (CPU 1120 Governor CONSERVATIVE I/O-NOOP) for over 2.5 weeks- not a glitch, and 30+ batt. @ moderate usage.

Every other ROM 9all GB's included do not perform like this.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omair2005:
Go launcher or qq launcher pro.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jackalo:
I would say to experiment with both launchers on whatever ROM that you're running to see which one works best for you. I've switched back and forth between the two several times now. On my current ROM (Simply AOSP v4) Launcher Pro takes the lead.

I'm currently using clockwork mod recovery v2.5.0.7, hero-deck gingerbread rom with firerats. I changed my mtdpartmap to accommodate for the fresh sense rom and tried flashing the rom, but I get an error and the flash is aborted. It says something like symlink busybox... Does anybody have any idea why I would be able to flash the fresh rom? I'd like to do so to update my PRL. Thanks for the help! I was able to flash my backup of the hero-deck rom without any trouble. Do I need to flash a different recovery?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigmoneygrip23:
Maybe it's something with that setup, b/c i have the same problem. I'm running deck 1.2.1, CWM2.5.0.7, with firerats as well and I got the same error when trying to flash Fresh last week to update PRL. Something about busybox and Symlink error on line 62.

I haven't tried it yet, b/c my signal is generally pretty good (making the benefit of a PRL update negligible)....but, my next step was gonna be re-flashing a new recovery and trying again. I also tried LiquidSense, but i got stuck at the HTC screen at boot.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ebtek220:
Thanks for the insight. Unfortunately, my signal at home is not the greatest. I've been lately trying everything I can do to increase my data speeds and thought it might help to update the prl. Oddly enough though, on my drive to work today with full bars my data speeds were only .3 Mbps. I don't understand that.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drunkpilot:
Have you tried without using firerat's? I use firerat's on Jaybob's, but never when I update using NFX's Rom. Firerat's rewrites the symlink and could be the issue with anything earlier than 2.2 (froyo) and above.

Flash a new recovery 1st, or download the firerat's removal tool from the firerat's thread. I just flash a new recovery then format everything 3 times in clockwork ( system, boot, data, cache), then flash a sense Rom. No need for any firerat's steps unless you use the removal tool.

You think Meth is bad? Try being a flash whore with a Gingerbread habit and a legacy device! It ain't pretty.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ebtek220:
I flashed a new recovery and then installed fresh. It worked well. Unfortunately, my download speeds seem to now be slower. I suppose I'll have mess around with different prls. Thanks foe the help!

I kept reading about people who are complaining about the bad quality with the camera so I just want to tell you guys... just don't take 2D pictures with the stock camera.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1262720

I created a thread which had a few camera apps I recommend for the Optimus 3D. For those who don't want to click the link, the one I recommend the most is Camera360. Absolutely beautiful pictures. Faster than stock too.
[LG Thrill 4G] kotaro_14:
Are the photos really that bad using the Stock camera app? I wonder how that's even possible, coming from SGS II. Getting the phone on Tuesday latest Wednesday.
[LG Thrill 4G] 00mred00:
I havent had any issues taking pics at all. the quality is nearly as good as the infuse. the video is lacking but i havent checked my settings
[LG Thrill 4G] DevJackey:
well, I've read a lot of posts on these forums that talks about the bad quality images from the stock camera and also how long it takes to load up and take pictures.

Personal experience is... stock camera takes a while to load up. I'm unsure why its like that. However its only like a sec or two longer than most camera apps so its perfectly fine. Taking pictures is fine, I find the speed normal, however the image quality is what I'm unhappy about. Mostly, its because of the colors. Looks very watered down. Also, you couldn't see details as well as with some other pictures I've taken with other phones. Was a bit embarassed to take pictures with the stock camera, but that did change after I downloaded some new camera apps.

Maybe its just personal preference since quality is only as good as how you feel, but since I did see quite a lot of posts talking about the phone having a bad camera, I've decided to recommend a good one to maybe help get rid of some complaints.

For those who haven't tried it yet, try out some of the camera apps I've recommended, they're all free so giving it a try isn't a bad thing.
[LG Thrill 4G] BigCiX:
I've noticed that taking pictures inside a dim room using the flash is where the camera is bad. In well lite areas the pictures are nice. Especially outside.

<oh ****! The last thing I want in my life right now is a pissed off clown after me. thought I was posting in the question forum. Looks like I put it in general. Please forgive me Mr. Clown, Sir>

Hey guys,

I finally pulled my nuts out of my gut and tried to flash gingerbread onto my Galaxy 4G and I just wanted to show you the versions of stuff it is listing to see if I did this right.

Here is what my phone says in the "about phone" area:

Firmware: 2.3.4

Baseband version: T959VUVKD1

Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-T959VUVKG4-CL385158

Build number: GINGERBREAD.VUVKG4

I had to reformat the SC card on the computer or it wouldn't mount but after I did that I am in business and the phone seems to work like a champ and is smooth as butter.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Exodian:
Everything is gingerbread but the modem. You seem to still have the froyo one there. Gingerbread is smoother with better battery life. My personal opinion would have been to go with kh2 instead of kg4 though.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] beeloe:
Hmm I wonder what step I am missing that I still have the froyo modem.

I will see if can change to kh2. I am not the best at this stuff and the bazillion threads on this confuses the hell out of me. Thanks for the reply!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
Look into fbis' GB starter pack. It will help you flash the ROM properly. For a ROM, I am a fan of audiophile, but Valhalla is a great choice too
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] beeloe:
I tried to odin kh2 but it gave me the "Firmware update encountered an issue..bla bla bla" screen. That screen seems to be a alternate download screen and I was able to odin back to what I had from that screen.

Did I need a kh2 bootloader?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mike-y:
it's okay to use a froyo modem with GB. I'm actually still using the KD1 modem with Gingerbread because it gets better reception in my condo than the GB modems to.

I had an Epic before getting the GS2 and I noticed my 3G speeds took a straight nosedive. I was really looking forward to this phone, but something just seems fishy, as if the modem on it is not quite working yet.

Granted, I was on an experimental modem (EH17 on ERA Hurricane Rom), but I definitely remember the 3G speeds being a hell of a lot better than on my GS2. I can't even reliably browse the app market, because I would get timeout errors.
