[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DanMc85:
You need a LTE plan, will still be unlimited, will be the same price, different billing code, different internet gateway for LTE phones....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] teiglin:
You can keep your unlimited data but they need to make a change to your plan so that it is good for LTE access. It isn't likely to be a problem, but the usual recommendation is that you call them and tell them to change your plan to unlimited LTE data BEFORE you put your SIM in the Note. Once the SIM is in the Note, they might automatically change your plan, and if that removes the unlimited part, you'll have to at least go through extra rigamarole in order to get it back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] macwilson:
Ok, I have an iPhone 4. I did the upgrade path to the Note.

So what do I do, just turn on the Note and let it activate itself or something, and then call ATT?

Anyone want to clarify the steps to take for us clueless iPhone switchers?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] pj_rage:
Thanks for the updates on the transfer of my current unlimited plan to an LTE unlimited plan. I looked at the website again, and now see an option for an unlimited LTE plan for the same price I'm paying now. I swear I didn't see that the few times I tried to pre order earlier in the week from the website, and neither of the reps I talked to on online chat, or on the phone were able to tell me this. Should have posted here earlier lol.

Any idea when my order would ship if I ordered it tonight or tomorrow? Curious if it would actually ship tomorrow for a Monday arrival? It no longer predicts the shipping date as it did earlier in the week. Curious if I should try my luck at a store on Sunday, or order one and hope for a Monday (or maybe Saturday) delivery.

Nah it wont work
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kevroc:
Fortunately I have a Micro Sim Adapter, so should be good to go. Looks like I have some experimenting to do.

I also still have my iPad unlimited 3G sim that I was going to try just so that it works for data.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] foxbat121:
Same deal. You have to upgrade your iPad 3G data plan to LTE (you get keep the unlimited) before you can use it on LTE. All LTE phones use a new APN which requires your data plan have the LTE feature code. Otherwise, it won't connect at all. Call AT&T anytime, either before or after you inserted the old SIM to your phone. If you don't have the LTE data plan, the phone just won't be able to connect to the data.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kevroc:
So far a no go. Sim works, although it's tricky with the adapter the way the sim slots in there, kinda likes to get stuck.

No data, called AT&T and there were no help, basically said I needed a different new card as the one from the iPhone 4S wouldn't work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] glock115:
My sim adapter cracked, I carefully just placed the micro sim, no adapter, into where the sim goes and it's been working fine

I think they are the files that tell the hardware how to function. E.G. The lights.so (or something like that) file controls the soft key lights on your phone. I'm referring to the galaxy 3 of course so it may differ on different phones.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Lonepalm:
Hello. First off, I want to thank everyone for their hard work here. I have followed many tutorials and have seen many great conversations to keep noobs like me from making mistakes when trying to delve into the world of ROMs and rooting. However, I did encounter some troubles while installing the ICS rom onto my bionic (running on .902). I think I may have accidentally overwritten the stock rom backup that I made with safe strap or whatever that app is (I'm sorry, like I said, I am a complete noob). Is there a way to restore the phone to stock, as in before I even touched it, even if the backup I made during the process is gone by my mistake?

I'm sure this has been asked a million times, and if so, I apologize, but as I noob, I have no idea how to even begin to search for clues. Walkthroughs would be nice, but links are fine too, since I'm sure there are plenty of the same questions out there.

Thanks!!!

Also I believe if you disable safe mode it will boot up rooted stock from don't quote me on that I am not for sure. Also I believe there is a unroot method in development not sure if it is for 902 or not though..

[Motorola Droid Bionic] Lonepalm:
Thanks! Can that be used after the .902 update? Is it possible to do a dual-boot type deal between stock and the ICS version I have installed? I've seen mentions of dual-boot around here, but I can't get a clear grasp on whether it is possible or not, or if so, how to do it. Thank you very much!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] iNsAnEmOd:
Yeah I'm sure you can.

Get on stock .902(here).

Install SafeStrap.

Backup Stock Rom by Toggling "SafeMode"

Boot up ICS.

When you want to go to Stock .902 undo "SafeMode" and the Stock Rom should boot up on Reboot
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Lonepalm:
Thanks for the answer! Hopefully I can give this a shot soon!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] iNsAnEmOd:
Yeah those instructions above are correct. I just came back from the AOKP ICS Rom to stock. 902. Worked fine. I have all my apps and stuff too.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Lonepalm:
Don't know what I'm doing wrong here, but when I plug my phone in to my PC, the phone realizes it, but doesn't seem like the PC does. Also, when I open RSD Lite and try to load the file, it doesn't do anything after clicking "Start". Please help me try to diagnose what I may be doing wrong if you can! Thank you!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] iNsAnEmOd:
Enable Usb Debugging and Unknown Sources. Download Motohelper drivers
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Lonepalm:
I'm sorry I probably should be a little more specific. I have both of those enabled and I do have the Motohelper drivers installed. I am following the steps here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=22758211#post22758211

On step 8, I do not see a file named FXZ or a file with that extension, but I figured it was the file with the name that the zip file had. I chose that file after clicking "..." and hit Start, but it doesn't do anything.

I am running the ICS version cyanogen mod 9.0.0-rc0-droid_bionic-kang build number alpha_2012_02_10

I already have SafeStrap installed (used that to get this rom on). So, looks like I'm stuck on or around step 8 from the other steps posted. Once I can get past that, I can continue with the steps posted in this thread!

Thanks!!!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] iNsAnEmOd:
SafeStrap disables ADB(that Im sure of) which will not let RSD run(im pretty sure) you have to select the xml file
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Lonepalm:
Yes, the XML file is the one I select. However, it will not do anything in RSD. Is there anything I can do to enable ADB in order to let RSD run?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Lonepalm:
Update: I found a way to do it. I think things are going okay so far. Looks like it is installing. If it does install successfully, I would like to do everything perfectly right going forward.

So, after this is installed, I will want to:

1. Get root access again using Motofail? I assume doing this return to stock will remove root access.

2. Install SafeStrap. Once that is done, I toggle Safemode to enabled, which will backup my stock rom and protect it from being overwritten?

3. Then, flash ICS from the zip files on my sdcard?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] iNsAnEmOd:
Yes sir.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vantt1:
I want to reset my custom binary counter using a USB jig, but it turns out that the newer bootloaders used in 2.3.4 or something onwards renders the jig useless. I can flash an old bootloader that still works with the jig, but I'm afraid that after this my phone will no longer boot as I am using XXLPB android version 4.0.3.

Does using an old <2.3.4 bootloader on ICS work? I don't want to find out the hard way.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atulalvenkar:
There is an app by ChainFire, TriangleAway in the dev thread which can be used to reset binary counter. Check that out.

Note : CF says it's bit risky to do so, but you can try if you are willing to.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Flash the old bootloader, jig it/reset the flash counter, flash the new bootloader. Done. I posted both the old & new bootloaders to a thread yesterday (search for it).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vantt1:
TriangleAway works perfectly. Thanks! No jig needed.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Infobits:
Just curious, I am up to the point where I bought a USB jig from ebay seller and found out that it does not work on my upgraded Samsung Galaxy S2 which I loaded DPXL7 ICS and rooted. I see that I have to flash an old Samsung boot loader for the jig to reset the counter and remove the yellow triangle. Can find the download for the old boot loader but cannot find where to download the new ICS boot loader to put it back to original ICS. So now I see there is a free software you mentioned TriangleAway which you said removes the yellow triangle. But does it reset the flash counter to 0 also? If not I want to find the "new" ICS boot loader file so I can restore back to all ICS original build after I flash the old boot loader and use the USB jig to reset things. I'm searching but finding it hard to locate the threads or websites that give a good working download link. Thanks for any helpers out there!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] premo1:
So I I've had 2 different recoveries so far that have worked fine.. both came from Rogue though. One was from the 1.5 kernel (Hitman) which installed CWM Touch recovery, the other came with the normal recoveries based off CW 5.0.2.7. They were working fine until I installed Calkulin's Rom(2.8.1). Not sure if they're just incompatible or what, but when I go to recovery it shows the background image of the recovery but none of the options show up. It shows for about half a second and then it goes back to the original boot screen, then to the 2nd screen and turns on. So it basically skips right through the recovery and reboots. Do I need a new Rom or can I fix this? I really like the battery life and visuals of Calkulin's Rom and would love to be able to keep it.

EDIT: One more thing.. Since I installed the ROM, I've been getting market error 492. It doesn't allow me to install anything in the market..

I haven't tried a full wipe yet, so I guess I'll try that and then see how that works with the recovery and Rom..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Adanorm 000:
I did the same thing to my phone this week, and I'm running Blazer, so i'm sure it has nothing to do with either ROM.

Not sure how I caused it but with so many folks running both without this error, I'm guessing that your issue (like mine was) was probably some how self induced.

I flashed back to stock and started over, and things have been working great. Might be worth a shot flashing back, or restore a backup and start fresh.

Haven't seen the market error before. I'm sure someone here has

Good Luck

Try booting while holding the volume up and power button.

If that does not work, flash recovery from rom manager, and that should get you into recovery to flash whatever kernel/recovery u want.

I've done all that.. None of it works.. I'm currently ODIN'ing Factory Stock Rom with root. Hopefully after that I can redo all of these and eventually end up with a working, corresponding Rom and kernel..

[Atrix 4G General] g2tegg:
Im a wireless technician and when I need to climb a tower I tend to leave my phones in the truck (work phone is a S2). After a couple of hours of the phones being in sub zero temperatures, the Atrix loses about 60 to 80 percent of battery. Well, thats what the OS is telling me. It will continue to work throughout the day at 1 percent. If I charge it from that point forward it wont charge past 70 to 90 percent. Depending on how long I used it at 1 percent. Only way to fix it is remove the batter after it has been in the charger all night and put it back on once the question mark is there. And I need to do this almost every night. If I leave the phone for 30 minutes it might drop 10 to 20 percent. But just enough to mess up.

This doesnt happen with the S2. It does drain faster but it is not noticeable. Anyone else notice this? Oh and my Atrix messes up big time in the humidity so I have something to look forward to this summer.. I doubt the phone will last long enough to get ICS.

And something else I noticed. After I pick up the phone after it has been in the cold for a couple hours I will check SetCPU to see what my cpu temperature is at. I have never seen it below 18 C. Makes me wonder how accurate it actually is. If the phone is room temperature at idle, my CPU temp will be 39C. I bet it is actually only at 25 to 30 C.
[Atrix 4G General] troycarpenter:
I first saw this behavior when I took my Atrix camping in December. The phone was at 95% when I turned it off at night, and in the morning when I turned it on, it was at 40%. Another guy camping with us had an iPhone with a similar drop, but I don't know what his percentages were.

This weekend I was in Utah skiing and fully experienced what you are talking about...the phone was on the charger all night and it would only go to 70%. I pulled the battery and after the restart it was at 99%. This was in my heated hotel room and not outside.

I think the cold weather in general causes batteries to go crazy. Have a read:

[Atrix 4G General] Ratchet556:
I have the exact same thing happen to me as the OP and it has been happening for a long time even after i got a refurbished atrix so it is definatly something to do with the battery and not the phone itself. Damn cold Canadian winters >:(

Hey we can't complain. Its very mild, well here anyways. And I love wasaga. Best may long weekend place to go!

And as far as the issue.. I have noticed it with my iPhone but once charged it was always go to 100 percent. Sucks that ours really messes up.
[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
There is a wealth of information about lithium ion batteries if you look for it. They perform better in colder temperatures. They self-discharge slower in colder temperatures. Their lifecycle degrades slower in cold temperatures.The only real drawback is that the need to be warm to pass full current, so an extremely cold battery might not power your device properly until it warms slightly. If you let your battery discharge all the time it will severely decrease it's lifecycle, as lithium ion does not cope well with this.

NASA requires that their lithium ion batteries perform to -80C.

Remember that the batteries also have protection circuitry for safety. This may be set up in the Atrix batteries to discharge rapidly under certain circumstances.

I believe you can get a rapid discharge though if you go from an extreme cold temperature to a very warm temperature quickly, which could be the case if a phone sits in a truck all day at sub-zero temps, then you jump in, start it up, and start cranking the heat.
