Hi im currently on tmobile

when i first got my contract in tmobile i got an LG sentio then the next day i got a vibrant from ebay. i did this because i wanted a smarthphone, withouth having to pay for a smarthphone plan. saince i had a crapy phone (LGsentio) and not a smarthphone, i could change my plan options when i wanted, internet, text etc... a year ago i could use my vibrant with Tzones just fine, but thats over hahahahhha. Eany ways im thinking of swithching to ATT, but people keep telling me that i can not do like in tmobile, that even if i bring my own phone, they will still charge my for smartphone plan... let me explain. in tmobile if i get a contract and pick one of the free phones, if after that i buy a diferent phone in this case a smartphone i can still use it with just voice and text plan, its not required to have a smarphone plan sainse im buying the phone by my self.

the question is... if i switch to ATT and get one of the free phones, and after that lets say i but in ebay eany android phone, will they change my voice and data plan by it self to a smartphone plan? or can i use it with the normal plan i pik?

PS: i need it this way cause my job its not steady and when no good income is coming in, i have to take out internet and stuff.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] E.Z.:
Read all the Q&As I could find, and no answer nor similar problem detected.

Sometimes, when I'm in the middle of a call, the phone crashes. That's it - no other problems or crashes.

I upgraded from RC1, where I had no problems. (perhaps it's the glitch kernel.. I don't know).

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sna696:
i had problems too with glitch kernel.

I suggest to install the latest revision of RC2.11 downloading from the new link (on google code) on the Onecosmic's ICS thread

It uses Fugumod kernel compiled and tweaked by nushor and works better and fine on my phone :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RacingManiac:
16GB version huh? The price will probably undercut the VZW version..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] L3rry:
Then that explains the Sprint Nexus thread from yesterday. Too ouSprint advertises it with LTE even though Sprint has no LTE network yet and will be in at most 4 mid sized markets by July.

I just left Sprint for Verizon for the Nexus and LTE. I have banned Sprint for life becuase of thet horrible Wimax service. It will take Sprint several years to get LTE to the coverage level Verizon has today. And by then....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hakizi:
Sprint said that everywhere that has 3G will have LTE, and if I'm not mistaken, the roll-out is to be completed by the end of this year. However, where I live in CA, I have 4G everywhere anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MarkGbe:
cool, but after whole Wimax rollout, or lack there of..... I'm sticking with Verizon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Lol. They will not have their LTE roll out completed by the end of the year.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:
I feel the same way. Sprint is just too late getting into the game to be competitive for at least another 2+ years.

EDIT: Just noticed they are specifically saying it will come with Google Wallet...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hakizi:
These talks of being late to the game are absurd. Sprint was first with 3G, first with 4G, and will be first with LTE-Advanced. Just because they didn't cover where you live doesn't mean tons of people weren't covered.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rx8freehk:
I thought the agreement was already made for Sprint to utilize Verizons LTE as they do 3G now?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MarkGbe:
not absurd. If they want to compete with Verizon, they better damn well compete, not just be first to do something then allow Verizon to blow by them like they're standing still.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hakizi:
They are competing. That's why they're going to be rolling out their LTE network so fast. http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/07/sprint-converts-its-cdma-network-to-lte/?m=false
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:
Verizon LTE rollout begins: December 2010.

Sprint's LTE rollout begins: Mid 2012.

I'd say that's pretty late considering Verizon has LTE in like 190 cities right

now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hakizi:
Sprints rollout already began, and you act like Sprints been stuck on 3G since then. They haven't, we've had 4G for years.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:
Dude, I've had Sprint for over 4 years. Now I have Verizon. Compared to the overall coverage and consistent network speeds, Sprint BLOWS.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MarkGbe:
Yeah well i was a total Sprint "fanboy" for quite a while... was a customer since 2000 until last month.

After putting up terrible 3g speeds for years and no Wimax in my area (Buffalo, NY) on my Evo 4G(paying an extra $15 a month for having a 4G phone), and a Nexus S 4G, and then an Evo 3D.... i finally had enough.

Verizon has been fantastic and i don't see any reason to go to Sprint at any time in the foreseeable future.

BTW, i'm not arguing, Sprint is probably great in some areas. That was a bit of venting, from all the years of crap on Sprint in Buffalo, NY. lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheWenger:
Just ditched Sprint for the Verizon Nexus. I'll totally consider going back to Sprint in another 19.25 months if this whole network vision thing actually plays out like they say it will.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RacingManiac:
I am pretty sure we still don't have 4G in Greater Metro Detroit area with Sprint, where as Verizon' LTE was launched later than Sprint's WiMAX and already covered the area pretty well...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hakizi:
As I said earlier, just because you don't have it doesn't mean other people don't.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TiltedAz:
Sprint's marketing campaign has a Popeye influence: "we will gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today."
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
You've had WiMax in very limited capacity with very little real-world availability since mid 2010. That isn't "years" of having 4G.

Look at it whatever way you want, Sprint is never going to be able to keep up or roll out LTE as fast as Verizon. They don't have the money to do it. They're talking about their first markets (only 4) in "mid 2012". And it will require all new devices because its not compatible with current WiMax ones. They would have to launch 100's of markets in 2012 to match Verizon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hags2k:
Another thing to consider - I think consumers in the US could benefit from sprint staying in the game and competing. Right now, they're the only big carrier (of the big 4) that continues to offer unlimited data. You can make jokes about their network being too slow or some other such nonsense, but the truth remains that if they fail, none of the major companies will be offering decent data plans.

I was grandfathered into my unlimited data on verizon, but I'm still rooting for sprint. I shudder to think about how much worse our ATT and Verizon could screw us US customers over if we ever lost Sprint and T-Mobile.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Very true. I was very opposed to the AT&T/T-Mobile merger for the same reason. Both Sprint and T-Mo are very necessary to keep price pressure (best they can) on the other big 2.

But that's no reason for people to be a Sprint apologist or sympathizer when they're clearly lagging behind technologically.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hags2k:
A good point, but sometimes I think we (and I'm guilty sometimes) accuse a company like sprint of lagging tech when they're really just lagging deployment. Sprint's Wi-Max beat Verizon's LTE to the punch. I don't know about HSPDA. Sprint's WiMax wasn't as widely deployed as many would have liked, though, and ultimately deployment will gain or lose more customers than anything else in this country. I don't fault anyone for buying what works for them, but as someone else mentioned, I think it is appropriate to blame their deployment and not their technology in many of these cases.

In my case, I go with Verizon because of deployment. I don't live in an area with WiMax or HSPDA, but we have LTE, so Verizon wins here ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RacingManiac:
Considering its not exactly middle of no where, and its been a while since their rollout, they are not exactly doing it quickly.

Granted, it could well be that them knowing the LTE is coming that they just stopped the WiMax rollout to the currently uncovered area. But considering they are charging the customer extra regardless of their coverage for a 4G device...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hakizi:
The $10 a month charge is for any smartphone, not a 4G tax.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:
I get these speeds everywhere I go with Verizon. How many people on sprint can say that? I know I couldn't for 4 years with them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
I wouldn't brag too much about 270ms ping, 2mbps down / 1mbps up... :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:
1) I'm comparing Verizon to Sprint

2) This is just 3G, not HSPA+ or any other 4G

3) This is EVERYWHERE I GO, which doesn't include any big cities that have 4G coverage.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] colorado_al:
My service with Sprint has been pretty good. I get WiMax 4G most of the places that I want it. 3G is slower than I would like in some places but I regularly get 1.5 down. Right now I use about 6GB of data / month and it goes up every month. By the end of the year I expect I will be using somewhere around 10GB/month. My bill is $80/month after taxes and I have 750 min, any mobile free, and unlimited data and text. If I were on Verizon, that would run me about $130/month after tax. I'd rather keep the $600/year and use it to buy phones with.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] poofyhairguy:
Dice Player

I have 20tb of mkv content, and a set of samples representing that content shows me I can play 99% of that content in Dice Player.

If you want to play mkvs, Dice Player should be the first app gotten out of the box.

I don't know how intrusive the ads are though. I bought the ad-free version for my SGS2 months back before it was pulled.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Itaintrite:
ICS is reported to support MKV, but that's just a container. Will it have HW decoding for all codecs?

I also bought Dice player. The free version (back when it first came out) only lets you use it for 3 days. You can reinstall to keep using it but that's just annoying. The software is worth the $4-5.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] poofyhairguy:
One thing to note:

The default player on the Prime does seem to support mkv. The issue is that the default player is not robust enough to play the many types of encodes you find in the scene. Only Samsung's stock SGS2 player can do that in my experience of having tested over a dozen Android devices with my samples.

With Dice Player, you get a robustness to play 99% of scene content.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tcb121:
Yeah, I'm kinda stuck in no mans land because they pulled the full version of DICE off the market. My only option is to get the ad-supported one or BS.Player. Both have HW support and will play back 99% of the scene related mkvs out there.

Seems the board is split on DICE vs BS.Player for the Transformer Prime, so I will install both and give them a test run to see which one I like better. It's a shame that we don't have a paid version available to avoid ads at this time. Don't know why the pulled DICE player off the market.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] d1ez3:
Why not just install it? It takes less than 20 seconds
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Danny-B-:
This !

Its not like its a life choice question... as stated, itll take about 20 seconds to install them ... probs less time than it took to log on here and post this thread.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] poofyhairguy:
True both have HW support, but Dice Player has superior container support and BY FAR superior DTS support. Since many 1080p mkv use DTS tracks, it is the best option.

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.inisoft.mediaplayer.trial&hl=en
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tcb121:
I will install both. I'm disappointed that I don't have an option to use an ad-free version of a media player with HW acceleration. The root of my question was weather ICS and the default player would solve my problem or will I require a paid app or ad-supported free app to play back my media. I'm new to Android so I'm not sure how the OS plays with installing and removing apps vs keeping a clean system as much as possible. If anyone could confirm that ICS can play hw accelerated 720p & 1080p mkv files that would be the information I'm looking for. I'm capable of testing this out for myself in 3 days time when ICS comes out, but I figured I would jump the gun to see if one of the sharp people here on the boards could answer my question.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] poofyhairguy:
It is hard to answer your question without ICS on a Prime, but I will try.

The only device with official ICS now is the GNex. Someone tested a GNex with my samples and said they failed with the stock player. Yet the Gnex can play all of the samples with Dice Player he said.

Extrapolating from that, I assume that you will still need Dice Player to play most scene content, especially when you add in the fact that nothing has been said that ICS will get DTS support.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ermacwins:
Rofl!

anyway, MX Player is boss

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mxtech.videoplayer.ad&hl=en
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Arun01:
+1...Mx player plays all the files that dice player skips & stutters through on my Prime.I even bought the full version,it works so good. :cool:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Diodato:
Don't bring your hopes high. HW video decoding acceleration is already present in Honeycomb (at least H263 H264 VC1/WMV on the TF). And yes, ICS should bring MKV (limited) support which is to finally give Webm container support. But you will not be able to play any of the movies that have DD or DTS sound with any of the built-in players (guess it's licensing issues). They need software decoding provided by third party apps like Dice and BsPlayer.

I have the full version so can't say about the "demo" ad-supperted one. But they should be very obtrusive. Why not give it a try?

Anyone from ASUS reading this? Please give us MPEG2 video hardware acceleration support. Pretty please :)

Running stock ROM with no problem here. If I were you, I would try another ROM or a new/old version of the same ROM. Sometimes apps get broken in ROMs.

I prefer stock over custom ROMs in terms of stability and overall battery performance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] whirl08:
using Bigxie's #2 build with Franco's kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
Latest build is #7-2... maybe you should update your Bigxie ROM?

Latest franco kernel is also #11. It's a very good kernel, improved from his previous builds. Update that as well.

I'd recommend doing a FULL WIPE (wipe factory settings, cache, dalvik) and flashing the ROM then gapps then kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] reuthermonkey:
also update your radio to kk6 if you havent already.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
or one of the latest UG radios. UG radios = optimized for North America. But I personally use XXKK6 over the UG radios. Up to you, I'd try both and see which one is better for you because mileages will vary.

Is it possible for anyone to check? :) It's one of the slickest approaches I've seen so far!

After I rooted my desire s, I backed up all my apps using titanium backup. everything went right but then my phone kept losing the signal and started rebooting. I flashed cyanogenmod 7 and everything was working again. After a week I decided to restore all of my apps again with titanium backup. When everything was restored, my had the same problem again. When reflashing another rom everything works fine until I restore all of my apps. This problem doesn't appear when i put the phone in airplane mode.

anyone any idea why this is happening? Is it because of my apps?

Hello mate,

I have similar problems with my Desire S. Have you figured out what was causing the rebooting on yours?
[HTC Desire S] scorpionatthepc:
I find if you turn off fast boot it solves the problem.
[HTC Desire S] mikiveliki:
Thanks for the post. Unfortunately turning off fast boot didn't fix it.

A few days after upgrading to ICS my phone started rebooting constantly. When I take out the sim, the phone is more stable but even without the sim it occasional reboots on its own. With the sim it restarts as soon as it's booted. The first time it started rebooting was after I switched on Mobile network and downloaded my email using K-9.

My phone is unlocked SAGA PVT SHIP S-On HBOOT 2.00.0002 RADIO 3822.10.08.04_M EMMC-BOOT with 4EXT RECOVERY V2.2.7 RC5

I started installing one app a time, but after I restored all my games I became to lazy to restore everything, so I only installed the important stuff I use everyday.

I'll let you know if I find what causes the problem
[HTC Desire S] rain987:
Miki were u doing anything prior to the reboots?

It is not a Rom issue, could be an app as op suggested. Just run phone and reinstall one by one.

If not it could be Ur battery is loose. Try putting something to give it a better grip. It has been posted before.

Sent from my HTC Desire S
[HTC Desire S] mikiveliki:
rain987 many thanks for the post. I've seen that mentioned too, but in my case it's definitely not a loose battery since there is no rebooting when there is no sim card. Also when I boot it with the sim, I leave the phone flat on the table so there are no shakes that could cause the battery to loose connection. The phone reboots as soon as GSM is established.

I've removed all the downloaded apps except Google Play Store, HTC sync and SuperSU and the phone reboots with the sim card again. I could remove the last three apps, but I'm concerned I might not be able to get them back if I do so. Should I remove them too?
[HTC Desire S] amrish96:
I suggest making a nandroid backup before removing them. If the problem is solved, nice. If it isn't, you can restore everything
