They are an MVNO of T-Mobile. To be honest, I would just go with T-Mobile's monthly 4G plans instead of Simple but to each his own. Some people swear by them.

It won't be unlimited for long...WImax sucks too....but whatever makes you happy.

I'd say take Verizon up on their double data promo if your going CDMA
[Networking] boborone:
What's double data. I typically use around 150 gb a month. That's why I like unlimited.
[Networking] Deleted member 4362739:
I met a guy recently on Simple Mobile and he seemed happy, I'm thinking of switching soon. I mean, unlimited 3G data, text and talk for $40 a month including international texting? Considering my phone only does 3G (Vibrant) anyways...

But, I also don't use that much data.
[Networking] Babydollll:
They have a promo where if you order 2GB for 30$ you automatically get 4GB and, pay for 5GB ($50) get 10GB, and so on....

ALSO: To anyone thinking of Simple mobile go with the higher priced option. The 40$ dollar option doesn't give you access to 4G speeds (T-Mobile's HSPA+ in this case) even if your phone is only 3G capable you will see a speed boost.
[Networking] boborone:
Ahhh I see. Still too little for me. I hook my phone to my tv and watch Netflix, the news. Play games and such. I'm a data hog I know.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] flipper2006:
I'm not able to figure out why USB connection to the Nook is so slow. It's around 110k/sec and to move lets say 200megs (nearly 12 hours).

I also have a Nook Colok and it works full speed without any trouble, it's very fast (using Cyanmod 7 with it).

But ever since I got this Nook Tablet it's been super slow to copy anything including books, pdf's etc. It's rooted.

If I use Wifi Explorer I can copy everyhthing in a matter of minutes but with the USB is so slow. I tried several different cables but they have alll given the same slowness.

I used the drivers found with the batch file on here, but remember, i had a nook color also and could the drivers colided into each other? The nook color is still very fast.. ADB works on both .

Any ideas?

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] flipper2006:
Oh, that was a mistake, i meant to put it into general. sorry..

Can an OP move this to general please..
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] DeanGibson:
Briefly ...

It may be using the Windows MTP protocol, rather than treating the storage as a drive. IF so:

The good news is that it's slow.

The bad news is that it's buggy (changes on the device are not reflected on the Windows box until you reboot Windows). Also, file date/times are not preserved.

Use ADB push/pull; that seems to work, be speedy, and preserve file date/times.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Montisaquadeis:
Hmm you could try using a different port on the pc as if its an older one some of them may still be usb 1.1 instead of 2 which would account for the slow speeds so I would check that first before doing anything else.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] flipper2006:
It's not a PC issue, im using Windows 7 64 on a i7 950 with 12gigs but the Nook color is fine, so im not sure, i think there might be either a driver issue or the tablet has a transfer issue, but i really doubt it..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Techvir:
I dont know if this is an issue with other handsets.

I installed proximity screen off application . The purpose was to have the phone turn the screen off when i close my flip case.

However i found something strange.

When the flip case is very close to the screen the proximity sensor does not seem to detect that there is something covering it.

Is this an issue with every one ?

Any solution

Please see the videos

[YOUTUBE]Cr7FepdOWdU[/YOUTUBE]

As you can see from the videos when i bring the shield very close the proximity sensor does not seem to detect the sheild.

Edit : However if u use ur finger this is not seen
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Tomdroid:
I've noticed the same behavior, it's quite annoying because it kills one of NoLed's best features (screen off using prox. sensor).

[deleted]

Still really annoying that the original flip cover won't work with the proximity sensor. A workaround might be a third party flip case. A diy modification of to the original one won't work since if I close it AND hold whatever object that alone is enough for a positive result over the flip cover, the sensor will still not register positive [because a minimal distance between an object and the glass surface is required, see below].
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ph00ny:
mine works even with a finger...

I've done it a few times accidently when i was trying to access the notification bar while on the phone
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Techvir:
Thats the thing i was saying.

With finger i works great even if u touching the screen
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] DaanJordaan:
Dial *#0*# and press sensor. If it vibrates, the proximity sensor is registering an object.

Maybe it comes in handy with testing.

It's working for me, thanks for the tip about the app!

edit:

Okay, I tested and found that indeed when you set the app to:

"Cover an hold to lock the screen" to say 5 seconds.

Close the flipcover.

It does not register.

However. If I set:

"Disable Accidental Lock" to .25 seconds.

Close the flipcover.

It works quite well.

Coming back to the sensor. It indeed does not register the flipcover when it's closed and touching the screen.

Weird thing is it does not register your hand anymore either.

Recreating issue:

Remove flipcover and lay it completely flat over the sensor.

Dial *#0*#.

Press "Sensor".

No registration.

Now hover your hand over where the proximity sensor is, and... How about that, no registration.

This indeed messes up NoLed's battery saving feature.

This can also be a problem when:

You set screen timeout to 10 min.

In the app's settings set "Disable in landscape" to on.

Then use an app in landscape mode.

Close flipcover while in landscape mode.

Then rotate to portrait. At this point it should start registering again and turn off screen..

The sensor does not register and screen stays on.

Drains battery.

It is a really cool idea, but it does not function properly.

It's too flaky, also when just handling your phone. I find myself accidentally turning off the screen.

Maybe if you use a case or some other cover with a different or thicker material it would work better.

I ordered a Zenuscase, I'll give it a try with that one.

Don't know how long it'll take to arrive though
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ahmedtaha7:
reflective color

heey i found the problem , the sensor is working fine ... but when so close with any black object the light is not reflected back to the proximity sensor.(black color absorbs light).

Repeat your video with any white object and you will notice the difference..

Now i am using Autostart and it works great with samsung original flip cover (white flipcover).:D

you can use any white sticker on the black one.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
ya correct, just few day back i have asked this issue to developer

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22170417&postcount=5

But it will work perfact if you use proximity + light both sensor enabled.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Tomdroid:
Color has no influence, distance between an object and the proximity sensor is what matters. I've just tested this using pieces of paper, cloth, metal and wood in white and black colors. The sensor seems unable to correctly register anything that is less than approximately 1 mm away from the glass (it may report 0 cm or jump to 5 cm). Also it seems it only reports changes of a certain minimal distance between two readings, even if the reported value remains the same as the old one. Anything below the threshold of the 5 cm reading will always result in a reported value of 0 cm, but if the effective distance between reading A and reading B was below a certain threshold, the sensor will not report a new reading of 0 cm (thus an object hovering stable over the sensor will not produce a 2nd post). I'm not sure if the sensor has a state that can be read at any time. From my tests using AutomateIt Pro, it seems only new posts can be used by apps. And if the delta between two readings is to small to make the sensor post a "new" result, then this can be problematic under certain circumstances (like trying to turn the screen off after the flip cover got closed (prox. sensor = 0 for 0 sec) and stays closed (light sensor = 10 for 5 sec) while preventing the screen from going off after an accidental wipe over the prox. sensor e.g. with the hand).

@Dr. Ketan: I've tested Power Switch (again) and I'm quite certain that for the Note + Flip Cover it only works through the light sensor (which is unsatisfying since it then won't work correctly in the dark). Covering the proximity sensor only doesn't make the app reliably react.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jimbob456:
Power switch works ok for me with the Samsung flip cover. I have the confirmation set to minimum Abe theactivation delay set to 0 seconds.

It doesn't always work from the lock screen but works fine from the home screen or apps
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jager13:
so is it a hardware issue of software?

might it be fixes in ICS? it's fu***ng annoying! just bought the flip cover(black) yesterday and also bought smart cover app, my note's screen keeps on turn off (when flip closed) then it turns back on (flip still closed)!

Any solution for gingerbread? like proximity calibrator perhaps? (while waiting for final version of ics to come out)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
Power switch will work if you use proximity + light sensor both.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] silverstream:
It's so sensitive that the moment my finger move over the sensor, the shutdown menu pops up.

Any app that works with the flip cover?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YouThere:
Note to mods: I copy pasted this question from another forum to get different answers. I am the same person, please be lenient.

Hello, I would like to improve my Evo's battery, because a few texts, a minute in the browser, and just scrolling through my email brings me down to 60-ish percent battery.

I'm running the latest MIUI with Tiamat 4.0.1 or something like that. I am also running JuiceDefender Ultimate.

My screen brightness is also at a constant low, too. I should have done more research on this phone, as I'm stuck with it for another 1.5 years. It sucks. :/

My friend's iPhone lasts for so much longer, it doesn't have a larger screen, but still..

What can I do to improve my battery?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Notorious:
You can undervolt with vipermod
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottypeterson:
I've never used MIUI so I don't know what options you have for kernels, I imagine all AOSP Gingerbread kernels, but if I were you in would try out different kernels, even a different version of Tiamat could help. You can also try calibrating your battery.

If none of that helps, try switching roms.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YouThere:
I've already calibrated my battery. :)

Won't ViperMOD hurt my battery?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
There's always the obvious. Turn off what you don't need - GPS, 3G, wifi, Bluetooth, etc. I assume that Juice Defender helps with that but I've never used it. If you can use wifi instead of 3g then you should, it saves a lot of battery. If you're in a low coverage area, that will kill your battery as well. Going through your installed apps and uninstalling the ones you don't use will help as well. Back them up with TB first if you want to save their data or easily reinstall them later. Check your sync settings, if you have social networking apps set to sync every few minutes then that's also going to chew through your battery. Using push notifications instead of regular syncing can help - try FriendCaster if you use Facebook.

I'm also running MIUI with Tiamat 4.1.0 SBC. If you're not using SBC then you may want to try it out, it can help with your battery life. I ultimately gave up on sacrificing functionality for battery life. Instead I bought 3 extra 1500 mah batteries which came with an external charger. All together it was $11 on Ebay with free shipping, took about two weeks to get here. If you decide to go that route, you can just run the battery down and put in a new one... your friend's iPhone can't do that :P

I still use an SBC kernel even though my battery isn't usually charged through my phone. If I forget to charge my batteries or something, I'll sometimes put the phone on the charger when it gets down to 80-90% and charge it back up. When I do that the battery lasts all day and I don't have to switch batteries.

You can also buy an extended battery, but I didn't want a fat phone. I get just as much juice - if not more - from my cheap 1500s.

I'd recommend looking up Car-O-Dope's tweaks, it's helped me be able to run the governor at 128mhz-652mhz and not sacrifice any performance. This has saved my battery life. This guide will have you download rom toolbox and system tuner, and in system tuner you can undervolt your battery as well without having to run the Vipermod scripts. In rom toolbox I changed the wifi scan interval to the max amount of time possible, and changed the wifi sleep policy to never. I leave wifi on at all times, keeping the 3g off. My battery has never been better.

I seem to be having battery issues as of late. Been running Cyanogenmod 7.1 for sometime now...maybe 6 months lol havne't been on here in a while. I leave the 3G radio off due to it sucking battery faster than anything else. Here is what my battery currently says..

11h 11m 24s on battery

Android System--32%

cell standby--32%

Phone idle--30%

Voice Calls--5%

Display--3%

Do these look right to anyone? I would think that if someone turned off all data like myself and only used the phone for texting shouldn't it last all day? I'm lucky to get 15 hours sometimes....I have turned off everything. Bluetooth, Wifi, 3G, all syncing is disabled. I do notice when I turn the 3G radio back on the battery will almost instantly drop 10-15 percent within a couple of minutes...

I've just purchased the lapdock while att had them on sale for 50$ so I was wanting to be able to run ubuntu not webtopos so I could have a versatile solution.

It has been some time since I've had my atrix as my first one was stolen now some time later I now have another atrix. So I have cm7 which I had forgotten doesn't support Webtop natively because it requires moto-blur.

I have tried dark side and aura roms today and no luck with running webtop2sd which I thought is an automated way of getting the ubuntu on there which I know might be mistaken. On both roms I flashed the Webtop 2.3.4 install from here on xda

The apk runs on cm7 but does not detect the partition I made using the Webtop guide. But in the other blurred roms the apk won't even get passes a superuser access granted before force closing.

So my question is: what rom is at least decent that I am able to use with Webtop and where to guide me to get the webuntuesk install to prepare me for the lapdock that will be here this week.

I'm running 2.3.4 stable cm7 build, unlocked bl, and romracer recovery

I just repair my milestone's digitizer by myself.

Everything works, only my SIM card can not be detected. There's a SIM with X mark on the notification bar.

It used to work before repair, on CM7.1.

I then changed to MIUI 1.12.2, then repaired the phone. This is the first time I try the SIM card on MIUI, is it the problem, or hardware problem?

Now I have ice&fire v4 on, it can read the SIM because I can see my SIM toolkit. But the signal becomes very weak, usually 0~1 bars.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envynet:
If you have the SDK installed on your computer. Here is what you need to do in order to get back into recovery.

#1 Boot your phone into bootloader, Vol up and power

-Plug into computer using usb while in fastboot(bootloader) and see if it recognizes it. Type adb devices it should list a serial number for your device.

( My SDK is installed in c:\android\) so you would type something like cd c:\android\tools and hit enter and then type adb devices )

#2 If you have installed sdk and pdanet drivers and your computer still does not see your phone in fastboot is this. Go to the folder where sdk is installed and copy everything excluding the folders that is in the Platform-tools folder into the tools folder. After that download Stock Phone files unzip it into a folder on desktop.

Dont run the script yet, what you have to do is after you unzip the stock look in the folder you just unzipped them in and you should see a file called fastboot, adb, and some other .dll's AdbWinApi.dll and etc move only these 4 files to your sdk tools folder.

#3 Now re open a cmd prompt and go back to c:\android\tools (enter) then type in adb devices and your computer should recognize it this time around.

Then all there is left to do is download the recovery of your choice here's mine Recovery and after you download it rename it recovery. After you rename it move it to sdk tools folder and while still in fastboot(bootloader) type in fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

You should now be able to enter recovery and flash roms again :):)

EDIT #1

If you havent setup SDK here is a wiki guide on how to do so http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Howto:_Install_the_Android_SDK

and if you can boot into recovery now, just wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache and flash the ics rom
