[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Chief Geek:
I havn't encountered a argument for this that is claims both real world effects AND facts to back it up. Mostly theories and all that jazz that equates to taking days off a batteries life over years of use in the worse case situation.

The most believable scenerios are the ones that take piss poor quality hardware into account and that is a fault of buying junk chargers and not one of the charging method. And ones that take charging characteristics of past battery technology into account and not current.

However please feel free to elaborate, I am by no means claiming to have read and understand everything out there, although links would also be greatly appreciated too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Bataga:


There are chargers that regulate the voltage that is ultimately sent to your phone, but many don't and I have seen between 16-18 volts from my outlet depending on rpm's and loads. That's gonna charge your phone too fast and from what I've read lithium batteries are not designed for this. I've seen soooo many people with poor battery life and have "always used there car chargers".

I'm currently using the Infuse on straight talk with Zeus rom. With a Speedtest I'm getting over 5mgs down, 2mgs up and under 80ms ping . Will a new modem affect the speeds or just ping? And are those speeds normal for ATT on this device?

just go to straight talk click activate/reactivate transfer number
[Samsung Infuse 4G] KingVekxin:
Ok thanks man, seems simple but would I have to be out of contract with AT&T to transfer my number and all? Also, is this just pay as you go or can you set up an automatic pay method? Could u explain that if possible? And I apologize for so many questions but im trying to lower the 100+ month phone bill (college student)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jeeps13:
So how fast is 4g for you guys on at&t.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jayson94538:
About the same. I heard that straight talk uses the same towers as AT&T, so that would explain it.

I'm not sure about the contract thing, but yes they have auto refill. Their website can explain more.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jeeps13:
BOTH... I use auto pay and not have to worry about it.. I'm very happy with service way better than EVO on Sprint and saving $50 dollars a month.. Check out howard forums for more info..
[Samsung Infuse 4G] KingVekxin:
Kool thanks bro, now all I have to find out is do I need to be out of contract with At&T to keep my number
[Samsung Infuse 4G] dan in la:
Worth the ETF

If you're currently paying $100 per month under contract, you'd make up for the cost of a $325 ETF in six months. Your contract probably isn't brand new, so the actual ETF would be less than that.

If you don't want to autopay, you can also buy 90 days worth of service from Walmart.com, which brings the price a bit below $45 per month, not including tax.

Here's a giant thread that lists the prepaid options out there: xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1455014

Keep in mind that that thread lists several options that use T-Mobile's network, which isn't an option on the Infuse unless you want to always be on Edge speeds. People on that thread seem to agree that Straight Talk is the best option currently available using AT&T's network.

A lot of people who go prepaid port their numbers to Google Voice and make and receive all calls through that service. That way, they can hop from one prepaid provider to another without having to go to the bother of porting their number. I considered trying that myself, but I found there was too much voice lag in making Google Voice calls. It was like talking to someone via satellite or something: everything came through a half second late. I'd be curious if anyone has had better results than I have with that.

A couple of things to be aware of: Straight Talk claims to provide unlimited data, but they'll shut you down if you use too much. Most people say to play it safe and not to go over 100 MB per day or 2GB per month. They generally give you a couple of warnings before they take action, but in the worst-case scenario, they could cancel your account and you'd lose your number.

Also, these companies are almost always limited to AT&T's network, with no roaming access at all. They tend to have terrible customer service because they cut costs wherever they can.

I'm sticking with AT&T while my phone is under warranty (I've been having some minor issues with it that I need to get addressed), but as soon as that's over, I'm switching to Straight Talk.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jeeps13:
The number porting took about 20 min after doing the online set up.. As far as data I don't think I'm close to the 2gb cut off that people claim. I guess if you tether they will cut you off eventually. This is plenty fast for every day use email, pandora. I have not had any issues.. The only thing that I notice is that when I ever I send a MMS I have to add message with it or it dosen't get delivered. But it could just be this phone, my iphone on Straight talk would work fine with MMS. I love the $ 41 + tax I pay..

The speeds consistent and way faster than sprints 4g. I'm getting on average 4-6 megs on speed test. Straight talk with an att phone uses att and sprint towers. I payed for 6 months of service it comes out to $42+ tax. Will never go back to 100+ phone bill.

Another nifty thing about ST:

You could, theoretically, buy an AT&T AND a T-Mo provisioned ST sim card, and switch between the two.

This is useful for people like me who travel and get better service in some parts of Ohio with T-mo than the death star.

Also: Keep in mind that their network is kinda new, it goes out sometimes. Not frequently though. (and by goes out I mean it tends to get slow around 1pm, and stuff like that) nothing too serious. If you can get away from AT$T, DO IT NOW.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] KingVekxin:
I am thinking about doing this but only after I have my new phone securely which will be an HTC One-X and from what I've read, it takes a micro-sim (like the god awful iPhone 4 & 4S). But will there be anyway to use this but get a micro-sim?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MaliciousIntent69:
They offer a micro sim card on the website :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] savagepagan:
I thought about ST. Now I hear they will not let you stream music or video. And if you go over the 2gb cap, will cancel your service if you ignore the cap warnings you are sent. I have Tmo, and where I live, the signal strength stinks.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] shiftylock:
A lot has been changing with ST recently. Like a LOT.

I noticed that now I can stream youtube with no hitches.

And I don't know about the 2gb cap thing. I use my phone very frequently and have never once had my service suspended. I kind of feel like the people who get their phones shut off are the ones who tether their phone and pirate blu-ray movies. ._.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] savagepagan:
What changes are you talking about? I am still iffy about going to ST. I am on $30/mo Tmo plan with 100 min of talk time and unlimited text and a 5gb data cap but where I live and work, I get mostly edge and 3gb is not in my area. I don't know if it is worth it for me to go to ST and pay $15/mo extra.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] shiftylock:
Eh, if you have that then keep t-mo. Coming from AT&T ($100+/month) Straight Talk is WELL worth it. By changes I mean I'm no longer experiencing outages, I have great reception (It used to be subpar,but now I get full bars most places) and quite honestly it just seems much more polished. Plus they're offering those sims/microsims now which is really awesome.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] KingVekxin:
My biggest thing is, is the data cap rumor true?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jeeps13:
I got a call from ST about my data usage (it was my fault i tether and downloaded over 4g). But I wanted to see if the myth was true. They claim that the service is unlimited but they do monitor your data usage. As long as the phone do-sent get tethered, you'll never hear from ST.. I will never go back to a contract.. I get better signal on ST than the last 2 carriers.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] KingVekxin:
So how much data on average do u use without tether? I mean this is the extremely ONLY thing keeping me from the switch, I use my data a lot for Apps and such but I close to NEVER tether, I only use tether as a last resort for my Nintendo DSi not connecting to wifi networks :)

But just from my understanding there is no data cap, so long as one does not tether.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] popi09:

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Truckerglenn:
So ur saying that since I'm on att that I should get the same coverage that I get now?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jpapa1086:
Yes if you go to their website, you can buy a att-compatible sim and pop it in your infuse and you don't even need to unlock (its just a att sim with a different logo) .. and you will have exactly the same coverage, data speed etc the only thing that changed is the amount of money in your wallet

That map for android is if you buy a straighttalk branded android that run off of sprints network (same coverage as boost, virgin) .. straight talk doesn't sell android on att network, but you can buy their att compatible sim and put it in your att branded phone ..
[Samsung Infuse 4G] popi09:
Yeah same coverage and all. The only thing you would have to do is put straight talks APN settings to get data working.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MrBooMY:
I'm doing it now. No issues! Coverage has been great for me! I use a Samsung Infuse 4g and get speed tests as high as 900k/sec down and 150k/sec up. I'm happy for $48.15 a month.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jeeps13:
I got my wife's ATT Inspire 4g on ST as well.. Its the same 4g speeds she was getting on contract.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] millerja01a:
Actually depending on HOW you tether will determine how easy Death Star can track you. If you use the built in Tether support, your phone becomes a bridge for all devices you tether.

This mean the tethered device gets an IP address on AT&T's network. This make it VERY easy for AT&T/ST to see that a non-smartphone MAC reserved an address on their network. You can see this for yourself but checking your tethered device's IP address after linking. If you have a 10.x.x.x address, you got it from AT&T/ST.

To minimize the detection, you'll need a tethering solution that hides tethered devices behind a NAT layer provided by the phone. There are solutions on the Net.

The wireless provider can still inspect your traffic to watch what you do and where you go but it'll take more effort on their part.

My son dropped my Infuse last night and completely obliterated the screen now I'm without a phone. I can either get added onto my gf AT&T plan and get the GS3 or I can buy a used ATT phone on craigslist and use the ST sim. I'm very cautious about buying a phone on CL. What if the phone is stolen? If I pop in a ST sim will it trigger something and lock the phone down? I really hate to go back on contract so I have been looking at another infuse, gs2 or maybe pantech burst.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mg2195:
All that the carrier can do for a stolen phone is stop service on the sim card that was originally in the phone...if your nervous about buying a stolen phone then before you buy it ask for the imei number-then call att and have them check if its been stolen...if it comes back as clean then go ahead with the deal...when you meet double check the imei by either going to settings>about phone or just pull the battery...the imei will be listed right on the phone under where the batter goes

The infuse doesnt get real 4G, it gets atts fake 4G which is H+ (HSPA+)...so the infuse will always show H+ at the most unless themed to show 4G/4Glte (theming doesn't actually give it...just changes the icon)

I allready tried the first link but those didnt work for me.

Also just tried http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1482532&page=2 (fist post) and it sadly enough didnt work either.

i think the wholee problem is because of a s-on and the hboot i just cant seem to change.

I used the misc_version to and then tried to run the RUU file from the desktop.

That gives me an error 501 image update error.

when i run the ruu and get te rom.zip from the temp directory and rename it to PG88IMG.zip it does run and takes about a 1 minute but doesnt change anything.

any ideas what could be going wrong ?
[HTC Desire S] mountain_maniac:
possible help

I

think

error 501 is because you have relocked the bootloader.

command is:

fastboot oem lock

hope for the best (i would also look around for info from other people, im quite new here)

Could i also ask why you want to downgade?

If you only want to use custom ROMS and recovery, you dont need to downgrade, just go here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1525100

That is the HTCdev way, which voids your software warranty, i think this prevents radio and engineering HBOOT flashing though, which could possibly mean this way is potentially safer. (im not sure but i think flashing radio's is much more likely to brick if you get the wrong one)

If you need to use an RUU because of an language or area reason, then you need to downgrade. (or wait for revolutionary to be updated)

hope i helped, but as i said, there are other topics already about this, in Desire s general, where people could help you much more than i can. Also, while typing thanks is nice, using the thanks button (in the lower right hand of a post, i couldnt find it at first) is cleaner and helps me too :)
