[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eakrish:
For the guy that asked about Winback and the one that asked about changing hardware and having a cap put on your plan. You are both wrong, I switch to sprint to get the photon 4g and hated it 12 hrs later. I did the winback and restarted my contract the next day with unlimited still intact. On sept 8th the bionic came out and I went ahead and upgraded to that, everything stayed the same less a 2yr contract extension. Thanks For everyone's input. Im staying with the bionic or going back to the iPhone and waiting until the prime comes out. Either way I'm staying with VZW.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] muzicman82:
If your VZW was cancelled when you switched and then reactivated, it's doubtful that you have unlimited data since it is not a currently offered plan. If it is possible, I know a lot of people would love to see a bill showing more than 5GB of data use with no additional charges on a plan that was recently activated.

Did you completely cancel the service to switch? Did you port your number? I thought porting a number took 3-7 days both ways, so I don't know how you did that within 24-48 hours.

I'm not calling you a liar, but your case could be used by others to prove to VZW that they can grant unlimited data even though they probably tell everyone it isn't offered or possible.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TabsAZ:
Wow, that would be amazing if that's true - I'm gonna check into it tomorrow I think - the speed is just terrible all over the city here, it's useless off of wifi for data.

Check out my attachment image - that's right smack in the middle of town in a 5-bar signal area. It was 5 when the test was run and went to 4 when I did the screenshot. This is in St. George, Utah btw - not Norcal or some other super saturated market. In the exact same place I got 1.2-1.5 on VZW - I didn't expect the Sprint network to be 100% as good but I didn't expect it to basically not work either. I'm gonna talk to Sprint tomorrow but if they tell me there's no fix, I'm gonna have to do the winback I think, even if I lose the unlimited data. Sucks, I really really like this phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
Call/Chat Sprint up...demand your data reset. I don't know if you have already but speeds like that I have -never- experienced except when I needed a 'data reset'.

If after that things still suck then by all means get out. But I have never seen speeds like that ever that weren't resolved (..."somewhat" at worst, "completely" at best) by a data refresh.

...and if your data is really actually completely and unavoidably that slow? Go back and may god have mercy on people who have no choice but Sprint

EDIT: it is a known fact that this has been a problem with new activations ever since the E3D came out. I had 3 E3D's an NS4G and now the ET4G, all have absolutely required this to function at all on 3G. I know it sounds like complete bull****...hurrr "data reset"....I don't know what they do but it helps. When the E3D got "unlocked" by an unofficial method it would re-activate your phone and ( among other issues ) I had to call up to do this _again_ because my data speeds went to complete **** afterwards. It has something to do with provisioning and data parameters or something like that...whatever it is it can and does work most of the time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] muzicman82:
Agreed. If you can find a good, knowledgeable Sprint rep in a local store where you still have the problem, you may be more inclined to get it fixed. Calling and chat may be a last resort, but those folks won't see the problem. If they can't see the problem, they may be less inclined to help/fix it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
I just say that I need a "data reset or refresh, this happens every time i activate a new phone" and they know exactly what I'm talking about, every time. They will walk you through a process where they tell you to turn off the phone, then turn it back on. On my NS4G and ET4G they then lead me to "update profile", on my HTC devices they first had me do a "hands free activation" and sometimes a PRL update afterwards.

...also be sure to get rid of your proxies, and roll back to one of the slightly older prl's (28081? somewhere around there)....the more recent PRL's totally fncking suck, but I hear it's part of the preparation for the rollout of EVDOrB....which I'd imagine will coincide with the iPhone release, so, that bodes well for everyone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
I switched today when verizon took away the unlimited data they sold me.

http://support.vzw.com/information/data_disclosure.html
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TabsAZ:
How do I roll back the PRL? The one that's on it right now is 60681.

I did try some of the stuff that supposedly worked on the Evo like doing the PRL update first then the Profile update after, but it had no effect on the speeds.

I'm gonna go back to the store I bought it from tomorrow (it's an official Sprint store, not a 3rd party thing) and talk to them, see if I see other phones at the store getting better speeds etc.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
....CDMA workshop, I'd imagine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eakrish:
I have the droid bionic, which is a 4g device. I think I'm fine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
Verizon will start throttling lte users eventually too
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eakrish:
What's the difference in reception and service?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
Depends on where you are. Verizon lte is CAPABLE of faster speeds than wimax, but whether you get those speeds depends on so many things.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eakrish:
You might have just changed my mind...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TabsAZ:
Just letting you guys know - I just ported back to Verizon via their winback people and my account is 100% the same, I still have unlimited data and the same contract end date. I'm actually stunned that they do that, was sure I was at least going to lose the unlimited data or be forced to buy a Bionic or something now rather than waiting for the Incredible HD or Galaxy Nexus.

Happy camper now - data speeds back to normal (just got 2.5 down, 1 up, highest I ever saw with the E4GT here was like .09 down .04 up) and I can still get an LTE phone next month or Nov with unlimited data...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
You don't have unlimited data, you are throttled after 2gb of 3g
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Overstew:
You're not throttled with Verizon/AT&T after 2 Gbs. Instead you're charged $10 per extra gig.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
You are throttled if you have "unlimited" data.

http://support.vzw.com/information/data_disclosure.html
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CEOGUY:
I had the droid bionic for 11 days. I thouht about keeping it but i dont really live in a 4G area plus verizon plan is nowhere near as good as sprints

. I switched to GS2 yesterday. And im so happy i did. This is the fastest most responsive smart phone i ever bought.

Im keeping this baby
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eakrish:
@kingsway, if you read that link it only is on the most congested towers and the top 5% of users on that tower.

---------- Post added at 08:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:04 PM ----------

How's the battery life and coverage in your area? I get about 24 hrs with light use on my phone. About 10mbs down and 8 mbs up. Also has any one heard about edvo rev b?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] muzicman82:
Well, there's nothing stopping Verizon from claiming you are on one of those towers and one of those 5% of users.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] diesel556:
I'm guessing you never tried the data reset fix that was suggested to you multiple times before determining that .09 down is Sprint's/ET4G's max, followed by throwing in the towel?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
If you read the link, it says if you use 2gb a month you will be throttled
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] muzicman82:
Also, I doubt you'll know if you have unlimited data until a bill or two from now. Use 5-10GB each month and see what happens.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TabsAZ:
Multiple times in fact, in multiple places. The network just sucks here - Sprint's support couldn't figure it out either.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JasjarMan:
I rather be throlled but be able to use the lte INSIDE places before the 2gb comes up. With sprint im throlled before i even get 100KB!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Overstew:
I just read that link and it implies that it's throttling, but in the Q&A on the same page, it states:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eakrish:
not to knock my own thread off topic any more than it already is:

"95% of our data customers will not see any change in service. You’ll continue surfing the Web, downloading music, uploading pictures and sending emails just as you always have. The highest data users, the top 5% with 3G devices on unlimited data plans, may experience managed data speeds when connected to a congested 3G cell site after reaching certain data-usage levels in a bill cycle. High data users will feel the smallest possible impact and only experience reduced data speeds when necessary for us to optimize data network traffic in that area."

I talked to my buddy today who is the verizon rep for a local best buy store and he exlained it the same way.

---------- Post added at 10:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:57 PM ----------

i think I found a solution and a way to make VZW eat it, tell me what the thought on this is: I am going to switch back to a feature phone or my old iPhone. Then I am going to port into sprint w/ Radioshack and use the iPhone as a down payment for the ET4G. This way I will pay 45 cash for the ET4G and be able to sell my Bionic for like 500 on CL. I can use that money to pay VZW and recoupe the cash I spent on the ET4G. I would be up 100 bux cash.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cajones42:
Not really a option for me, i use 10+ gbs of data a month on sprint.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eakrish:
What are you talking about?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TabsAZ:
Gotta call VZ again tomorrow but I have a sinking feeling they did screw me now. When I log into the account it shows "Blackberry Unlimited BBA" as my data plan, not the original "Unlimited Web/Email for Smartphone" that I had before the winback. When I go and act like I'm going to upgrade and buy a Bionic, it only offers me the tiered data plans... before there was an unlimited selection. Crap.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
They are using marketing tactics. It is throttling.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eakrish:
You still have unlimited dude, my bill just came out a day ago and I'm still good. That being said I could be saving like 25 dollars a month by switching to sprint... Are the data speeds still crap?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] will900:
For me Sprint has been very good, I get good 3g/4g speeds and it's cheap even with 4 phones. I tested data speeds with two friends from work one with a iphone and the other with the droid bionic and I got faster data speeds also the guy with the droid bionic could even get lte
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Beejis:
I can't complain, I get decent speeds on an unlimited network for a great price. It all depends on how they are where you live.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eakrish:
You think I should make the switch now or wait until after oct 7th? Also, what kind of speeds are you talking about? I get like 10mbs all day long and my buddies evo gets like 3....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] will900:
I would wait after oct 7th to see what there planning. I get from 2-4 on 3g, 5-14 on 4g. Even with my lowest 3g speeds I'm still more then able to stream music from Google music and watch videos from Netflix just fine so I never really got why people want super fast internet speed on there phone. Anyways I say wait after the 7th and try Sprint with the Evo 3d or the Epic 4g touch for a few days and see if you like the service and the data speeds. Hope that helps :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rs2606:
I didn't read through the post, but figured I'd share with you that Sprint is about to drop like 5 billion into their network with Nextel going away completely, and Sprint's towers taking over both cdma, and Iden roles. I think Sprint is better in my opinion.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RayLancer:
I ended up switching since I didn't get grandfathered with the unlimited data plan.

I used SuperOneClick to root my optimus 2x, but I would like temporarily to unroot it. I used the unroot feature in SuperOneClick, but noticed that it does not remove busybox.

Try remove every file in /system/xbin.. i realize after wiping to factory default, the folder is empty..
[LG Optimus 2x] tazoul:
Are you sure about deleting everything under /xbin and not just the busybox file in there?
[LG Optimus 2x] Striatum_bdr:
Just busybox evidently, but I'm not sure it is possible without root lol. AFAIK you can leave it, as it can't work without Superuser... Or you need to have a clean phone to have it back for a repair?
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
re-root, rm /system/bin/busybox, un-root.
[LG Optimus 2x] tazoul:
Thanks for the replies.

Is it under /bin or /xbin?
[LG Optimus 2x] Striatum_bdr:
the answer is just above your question...

But effectively some Market App install it under /system/xbin (like Busybox Installer)..

[Galaxy S II General] Disfected:
It's actually SAMOLED+, there are different types of amoled screen that's been used in phones. SAMOLED+ is an upgrade from SAMOLED, by introducing a higher ppi and a normal rgb layout from their PenTile usage. SAMOLED is actually better in direct sunlight compared to lcd technology. The comparison your talking about of amoled vs slcd is an year old article, which dealt with the old amoled technology.
[Galaxy S II General] soraxd:
retina vs samoled+ is really about what's you use it for.. do you want color or better detail? that said unless you look very close you can't tell the difference between amoled samoled and samoled+ . if you're watching a movie or music video, it'll look better on samoled+ than retina, but if you're reading a story you may be better off with retina
[Galaxy S II General] Croak:
Except you'd be reading that story on a tiny 3.5" display. The larger screen size tends to make the SGS2 a better reading platform as well. :)
[Galaxy S II General] KaliKot:
Retina display was pretty good last year, but now with the QHD phones, Super AMOLED plus and Super AMOLED HD?

And you own HTC devices and not an SGS2 yourself. I say you're mistaken ;)

Coming from a guy who used to own an SGS1 where text was pretty pixelated and an iPhone 4 which was wonderful, I must say the Super AMOLED plus definitely blows it away.

The Super AMOLED HD coming for the Note and 7.7 will probably blow the iPhone 4 away as well. I wonder if Apple has made another amazing display for the iPhone 5 to watch

Hello XDA users!

I got a question about playing movies on our Galaxy 3.

I tried to play a 704x304 movie.

Data speed: 1198 kb/s

Bit transmission speed: 384 kb/s

All: 1582 kb/s

Video codec: Xvid. File extension: .AVI.

So, the movie plays smoothly, but I got a pixel effect while frames is changing.

After some moment frame is clear without pixels.

Why I get this pixels effect? Processor is to slow? Resolution of movie is to high?

Threaten to cancel service. Whenever I want to get out of playing some ridiculous unexpected charge, I just threaten to cancel and they bend over backwards for you. When they ask you why you want to cancel just tell them, "poor customer service and unexpected charges." Verizon will do anything not to lose a customer for those reasons.

Why it is there is no 'post' boot animation audio for the iconia. I remember back when the newer phones were dropping I was told it was due to a kernel config that prevented the D1 from doing it but why in the world would they not do it for the iconia?
