I just ported from GoPhone to StraightTalk and everything is working great. Not only is it cheaper but now I don't have to take advantage of a loophole (the fact that my MEID wasn't in their system) to get the unlimited data. Download speed is unchanged -- still as high as 6Mbps and rarely less than 2Mbps.

My all-time max upstream on GoPhone was 3Mbps and I'm getting 1Mbps up with Straight Talk but I haven't tested it in enough locations to know if that's throttling or just my location.

The service is so good that I switched all my family members from Sprint as well (no ETF thought 3/15) and they are delighted with the speed boost. ST/ATT 3G is as fast as Sprint's 4G in most tests that I've run and doesn't use as much battery.

LOVING straight talk service on my Note....can't beat the price....and i average 5mb download and 1 mb upload.....not too shabby....and i'm not worried about the data cap as i'm always surrounded by wifi...lol
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Girt:
Hi. I just got an AT&T G-Note. Looking at options, and this one sounds very good. Only issue - the Straight Talk coverage map on their website - the regular coverage looks fine. Then they have a scrawny little map called the "Android" map.

Is this true? Why??

UPDATE - Got an answer to this one. The map is the Sprint map. ST's own Android phones are on Sprint. Not too impressive.

Secondary question - is there any PAYG that has 4G?

Otherwise, I'm re-thinking ATT and looking at the added software, etc. on the unlocked International version.

Straight Talk service and ICS roms

I've been on Straight Talk for 3 weeks now and it does work on the unlocked international GNote over AT&T. I was on a road trip from New York to Florida last week and I can tell you with 20 hours and several states to go through, straight Talk averaged 1-6Mbps on the road. Hotspot and all. Data connections varied depending on tower locations and ranged from an Edge connection (E) to 3G to H to H+. I was sort of surprised to see the Edge connection but a connection is better than no connection at all. The last time I saw an Edge connection was when I used a Tmoblie sim before discovering Straight Talk.

Anyway, I may have some sad news to people that may want to flash all the new ICS rom (beta or not) popping up here on xda.

I just evaluated the MIDNOTE 2.0 (ICS LP1 and ITALIAN QUALITY) Rom yesterday and ICS really flows smooth on the GNote. I really like it with all the new features and functionalities.

The main issue currently is with Straight Talk data service with does not work with the XXLP1 radio modem used with Chinese leaked ICS rom.

I know this because when I revert back to my GB Rocket v22 rom, it uses the XXLA4 modem radio and Straight Talk data service work with 2-5Mbps download speeds as opposed to a consistent 9kbps DL with the ICS LP1 radio. Yes, 9kbps!! WTH!!

I even tried to flash the XXLA4 modem from here but the DL speed a still 9kbps and did not work. I know the modem is for a GB rom but was worth a try.

Right now, this ICS bandwagon is still new so I will have to revisit this rom along with other roms and I hope some developer can injected a working modem that can work with the Straight Talk data service.

Have any of you tried any ICS roms yet and Straight Talk service?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SanFrancisco:
Straight Talk, SGS2, Note

Here in San Francisco I have been using Straight Talk on my AT&T-branded Samsung Galaxy S II i777.

When I signed up for a Sim ($15) I selected that I would be using an AT&T phone. So ST sent me an AT&T SIM.

(For those where the activation on the phone is not working, follow the directions that come with the SIM card.) Especially make sure that after you enter the activation info that you then turn your phone off, then on. You need to do this so Straight Talk's servers send the APN and other info to your handset.

I could not be happier with Straight Talk. From speed tests I am getting 4G service, for $45 monthly. Can't beat that, especially on a SGS2.

Anyway, my sister is severely incapacitated with a degenerative disease (ALS; Lou Gehrigs) and is now can't use her fingers to hit commands. So she needs a stylus-based device. Seems the Note is a good alternative.

I contacted Straight Talk and they said that the Note is like any other AT&T handset I would bring to the service to use, so I can set her up with the Note. So that's what I intend to do, get her a Note and set her up with Straight Talk.

Sidenote: As far as putting Ice Cream Sandwich on the Note or even my SGS2, I don't consider ICS significant enough to be concerned about getting it working, especially with my disabled sister who simply wants to enjoy what life she has left. I taught her how to use 2.3 and she is used to that.

IMO there are times when we can get caught up on installing the latest and greatest ROM, for the challenge or whatever, even if it is not or the old stuff works fine.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ronkuba:
Yes, using ICS as I type. Straight talk works fine. Avg. 2 to 5 mbps

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Armeddy:
Could it be possible for someone to port this for the Xperia Mini Pro?

​

It'd be really awesome to have notifications on one screen and at a swype away you can have all the toggles you need. The alternatives offered here are kind of clumsy because they can take a large portition of the notification screen and in portrait mode you can only see a bit more then just one notification. This MIUI notification bar I find much more appealing.

Also adding the swype to clear notifications would be cool, as well as removing the Notifs/Toggle buttons on the bottom and leaving the light indicator. This would really save a lot of screen space.

Hi Guys,

Can someone please tell me what our browser is called? I can't find info on it anywhere on the phone.

Also, I'm trying to import my saved bookmarks (internet favorites), and I can't find the folder where they're supposed to go.

Simple questions, but I've been searching all day and I can't find the answers.

Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Towle:
Are you asking what the browser is named in places like the apps list? On our phones it's called "Web".
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ingenious247:
The browser is called "Web"

Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage Applications select "all" tab and scroll down to Web

The favorites data is stored on your internal SD at:

/data/data/com.android.browser/shared_prefs/BrowserBookmarksPage.xml
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mavblues:
Thanks for the replies.

I know it's called web on the phone, but what is the program itself called? (Opera, etc.)

I need to find a way to import my internet favorites to the phone.

I've been all over the SD card and internal storage, and I don't see

/data/data/com.android.browser/shared_prefs/BrowserBookmarksPage.xml

Yet, my browser has the default bookmarks.

Has anyone been able to import bookmarks from a computer to the phone? If so, how?

TIA
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] zander21510:
The broswer is just the Android built in browser. the ICS browser has the ability to sync to your google account (not just the chrome app, the actual built in ICS browser).

IDK if you can with the built in browser, but if you want bookmark sync, download Firefox from the market, and sync with your computer's browser.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Vegasden:
Saw this on another forum. I haven't tried it.

1. Export them from IE.

2. Copy them to your SD card

3. Download Bookmark Importer from the Market.

4. Use above program to import.

Hello everyone:D Just wanted to let Y'all know that RadioShack is selling the Zagg Invisible Shield for $9.99!! I just bought one and thought that I would share the info with everybody.

Good find. How did the screen feel after the protective screen was on?
[HTC EVO 3D] twister99403:
awesome! doesn't get much better than the zagg shield. I like how it covers the whole front of the phone too :)
[HTC EVO 3D] DarkManX4lf:
I hope it doesn't peel.... My experience with zagg is that it peels after some time.

I have a zagg on mine and a kraken case :D Great combo and works fine :D
[HTC EVO 3D] phreezex:
yea, its a good cover, ... i bust out the plastic one with my otterbox and ballistic case.. not as hard to clean... i do not recommend the zagg with matte finish though, it made my old evo4g look pixilatied
[HTC EVO 3D] unclekeith:
i work at radioshack and i have gone through 2 zaggs both of which peeled off rather easily. i also did care for the feeling... it made scrolling feel laggier almost... and with my OCD the smallest air bubble or speck under it drove me nuts.

thats just my 2 cents. i know alot of people and my co-workers love em.

Had to call a couple of stores because they are selling like crazy. Finally picked one up. On a side note the HTC Desktop Cradle is now $14 at Radio Shack.
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
Nice man . I have snagged them up on eBay for 10 or less in the past I have a extra zagg just in case I ever need it ... Tricky part is you have to make sure you have clean hands dust free area. Then spray your hands down with the solution . Take the paper off the back of the zagg and spray it down good and line her up on the glass . Use the thing they give you to get rid of the extra fluid and air bubbles. Should clear up fine in a day.

Take battery out just to be safe while applying :D
[HTC EVO 3D] zsibisi:
Was @ the mall and ran in to a kiosk that sold Zagg. I didn't know that they were going for 9.99 though. I feel like I was ripped off but on the up side though they cleaned and installed it for me. So far no bumps or weird distortion. The feel of it will take some time to get used to though as it is a bit more griper. Anywayz, so far so good. Just glad that they offered a lifetime warranty so if this does go goofy, all I have to do is go back down and get money back or they re do it. Oh, instead of 9.99 it did run me about 25.00 dollars w/ tax (front @ back)

Has anyone had long standing good luck with these?

Thanks,

[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
Nice I have had zaggs on my phones in the past always hold up well even a year or 2 and still looks good as new...

I was kind of wondering, I know that other people had it on their phone for 10 dollars, but was wondering what is the normal going rate for this?

tia,

[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
Well if you are lucky you can find them for 10 bucks if on sale ebay is cheaper with free ship... If you go to best buy they want 20 bucks plus tax and they won't put it on....

20 bucks in the mall or other areas that those folks sell for zagg they will install it for you which is nice...

I got one on ebay for 5 bucks free ship another for 10 :D
[HTC EVO 3D] wharmecht:
The Zagg's actually are not as hard to install as you would think. There are quite a few videos on the net to show you how to do it. I admit though, the first one I ever did was a little jacked up. But now that I have done a bunch of them, I can actually put one on in the car no problems. Just make sure to clean the screen and wet your fingers and the protector :D
[HTC EVO 3D] MistakenUtopia:
I bought it for 10 bucks from the mall. I convinced a female worker to cut the price down for me. :D Zagg FTW.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] citsong:
Had my phone for a few weeks now. And had the VJraider rom on for a few days and really liking this phone. One thing I noticed though is the lack of availability of some of the bigger games. The phone came packed with N.O.V.A but can't get it off the market and notice there aren't really any of the big Gameloft games available. Looked at chainfire but it seems s-off is needed for it to work with HTC devices. I also have an acer a500 which I have already bought some games. Am I able to get the apk file off that and run it on the Raider? Or do you guys have some recommendations on good games for the Raider/Vivid?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dizzyraider:
Chainfire3D actually does work as it only needs root, not S-Off. However, the main reasons why some of the games from Gameloft aren't available is really because of the qHD resolution on our device. Most of Gameloft's games are made for devices with WVGA or lower, otherwise since you have already purchased game, the market will allow you to download it again to your new device.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] plaster:
I don't know that its strictly based on the resolution. I previously had an atrix 4g which is also qhd. The main difference between the two is the CPU. I had purchased Asphalt 6 on my atrix and it ran perfectly fine. When I open it on my vivid, it tells me its not compatible. I think they simply need to add the vivid to a configuration file. Probably a 2 minute fix that will take gameloft 6 months to fix.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] citsong:
Installed Chainfire and got GTA 3 running nicely but still no luck with the the bigger gameloft games. I read other phones have similar issues and changing the model in the build.prop usually works. Is moddifing the build.prop in that manner somewhat easy? Haven't managed to find a guide on editing it in that manner for the vivid. And if I do that what would be a good model to change it to.. the sensation? Reading over some threads on the gameloft forums just makes it seem like they are a bit lazy on adding compatibility which is really annoying.

I have my SD Card setup with the Clockwork Image.

So here's the issue.

I turn of my Nook, put in my Micro SD, plug in USB. But the nook boots straight into the Nook 1.3.0. No ClockworkMod Recovery.

I've tried using an 8G, 4G, and a couple of 2G's I have laying around. None of them work.

I'm using my phone as the SD connector, mounted in Clockwork. SD Only, nothing else (Can't do ADB, that's how I know its only the SD connected).

I just wanna get MIUI on my nook. Can somebody please help me, as I'd love to have this Nook Rooted.

Please feel free to PM me any info you have.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GMPOWER:
Just to make this point clear, you run the risk of damaging your cell phone by using it as a SD connector.

There is no need to root the factory firmware to install MIUI.

First download this bootable CWM image, HERE

If you are using windows, download Win32DiskImager, HERE

Use Win32DiskImager to flash the bootable CWM image to your SD card, this is where it can damage your phone if you don’t select the correct drive

Once the image has been flashed to the SD card, use windows explorer to copy the MIUI zip file onto the SD card.

With the Nook Color off, put that SD card into your NC, and turn it on

Now it should boot into recovery, and you can flash the MIUI zip to the device

My Nexus is stock but it is unlocked.

I have the latest CWM on there (touch 5.8.0.2)

I was currently downloading all the necessary stuff to flash to AOKP but havent even got there yet because all of the sudden my USB isn't working.

I have tried two different cables, the stock one and a different one (both which were working before).

I get charging working through USB but no file transfer.

I just did a wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache via Recovery, and still nada.

Am I cooked here? B-stock with no warranty from Expansys, now currently kicking myself for not buying brand new.

[edit] yes MTP and USB Debug were/are both checked on

[edit2] a lot of my searches seem to indicate that you can move and transfer via adb in recovery or fastboot while having this error. I am not finding that to be the case.

[edit3] windows 7 does not show any indication of a usb drive or anything plugged in as it used to before. This is obviously making it hard for me to try things like reinstalling drivers and whatnot.

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Beatsleigher:
It probably has nothing to do with the USB port...

Plug your phone into your computer, and then scroll the status bar down. You should see a notification "Connected as xx" Select that, then make sure connect as MTP is checked, if it's connected via ptp (camera) it won't allow you to sync files, for what reason so ever...

If that doesn't help, then reflash stock ROM, that usually helps.. With most problems anyway...

If both of these don't work, then I'm sorry, but I can't help you. I'd then call Samsung, and send it in...

Yea MTP was already checked on. USB debugging being on would have auto kicked in as well.
