That is correct, all prepaid services essentially may cut off your data completely at any time for any reason... it's in the contract...ridiculous hu?. However since the original poster says he almost never goes over his limit of 2GB, he shouldn't have any trouble at all. Also these companies send you numerous warnings before they cut you off (in my experiences- which i've had simple mobile and H20).

One thing that will set them off is tethering...more specifically when you are already past 2gb and are continuing to tether. Also I spoke to a rep he told me that it is unlimited and isn't throttled...but as we both know they do have the power to do as they want. As far a media streaming, they more so discourage it rather than forbid it...never have had a warning message for streaming content (netflix skype etc)

If you want to be off contract and do it cheap then straight talk will be the cheapest with the most data...there is no comparison
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] votinh:
Are they, StraighTalk & H20, offering HSPA+ or even LTE in some area or just 3G and EDGE?

If they truly offer unlimited as they advertise, then it is a great deal.

Somehow, I keep thinking "it's too good to be true" and I don't want to be trapped into some kinds of fine print.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] chrislj:
I do not believe they handle LTE but they do Edge, 3g and HSPA+ but it depends on your area as to what you can get. I have ST on my i777 and I get all 3. HSPA+ is preferred but in my area 3g is more what I get unless I am very near a tower. My town is restricted by there not being enough towers around but when I am near a better one I get H+ all day long.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] votinh:
Thanks for the confirmation, chris.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] REOGrand:
Still not really sure what unlimited means for Straight Talk as no one else really knows. I do know they will cancel you for using to much data. I have read that the most data is 2 gb a month,2000 to 5000 each for messaging and talk. I dont use to much data and never will use the other minutes up so this is a great deal for me. Under 48.00 a month. Beats almost the 80 I was paying. I do get H+ but I think thats only for data. Pretty sure 3g for everything else. Never had any problems with ATT. Just paying to much money!!! 15.00 for an ATT Sim and 330.00 for my GS2 priceless!!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] STEvFIN:
Unlimited means that it is unlimited until ofcourse they decide you are using too much or too fast, which surely they have guidelins, but we will never know.

...the best approach to teathering would be to teather via an application

...It costs $30 with AT&T to utilize the teathering feature so obviously straight talk (running on AT&Ts network in this case) doesnt want customers using this feature.

...my Atrix (not yet rooted) cant utilize teathering with my H20 service (also uses AT&T´s network) because i get the "sorry you havent paid for tethering service bla bla bla)

...a good app to use would be pdanet... it will look as if you are just using a normal app (carriers have ways to detect if you are infact teathering).

-you can sideload pdanet with an excellent program called the sideload wonder machine ...just serch it in google

...If you use the AT&T´s stock teathering feature on your phone they will know you are teathering.

...i will try and call tomorrow and try to get some kindof breakdown of why they cap and shut off data...and in some cases accounts :/

hope this helps
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] STEvFIN:
For the best prepaid service Page plus might be good a good choice since it operates on verizon's network... Here in Florida verizon is by far the best without question. Although since it's a cdma network obviously you would have to sell your phone and get a verizon or something that has been flashed to verizon....

The plan isnt half bad either...

$55 unlimited talk text/picture messages

However they only give you 1gb of data but in your case it sounds like it may be sufficient for ya.

You can activate any verizon phone on Page plus except for the 4g phones... I haven't yet tried an iphone 4s but I will look into it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shoobiedoobiiwhompwop:
redpocket is decent though
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] STEvFIN:
They are indeed... $59.99 with 2gb data... Prettymuch 2nd best that I know of... H2O is only 1gb and no unlimited mms (comes out of your 1gb). Speaking of redpocket... I work at a repair/retail store and my boss was talking to a customer about the available prepaid options for AT&T and he says "and there is one that's pretty good I believe it's called Red Rocket" I laughed so hard I cried lol.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] schrochem:
I got my Note three days ago and I'm at 600Mb data usage.

Of course I've been setting it up but decided to look at the usage.

All the big Mb listings are "Sent"

They all look like this

03/27	08:28 PM	pta	Internet/MEdia Net	Sent	128291KB

That particular one was right when I got the phone.

Last night there was one at 11:33pm for 24mB

I was asleep.....but had the phone charging so Data was turned on....

Anything 'received' is small. So I don't understand why apps arent showing up....

I checked mail,etc and there is nothing that warrants a 24Mb upload that I can tell.

Any ideas? How could I find out within my phone?

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Android The Greek:
One of your gapps could have updated or the yellow pages app. Tgats what happened to me i had mine for 3 days as well
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] PeteN:
That's pretty scary - especially w/ the throttling cap looming! If you find out what is going on, please share.

The data usage report doesn't happen to be in a different time-zone, does it? (11:33p actually being your 9:33p or something)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] schrochem:
Ok just uninstalled yellow pages.

Even if the time is off I haven't sent anything that big.

Actually nothing but texts, text emails and maybe one pic.

That 126mb is ridiculous. I can understand some syncing at first startup but that much????

I would also expect a lot more as 'receive' because i had to download all my apps.

I know last night I downloaded one of the s pen apps that was 30mb and that doesn't show up.

Does 'sent' really mean 'receive' as most of us would perceive?

But that was many hours before that date stamp. BTW the texts I got match up with the times posted so it's not off.

The only thing 'good' about this is they put me on this month's cycle. So I have 3gb til sunday :)

Hence the reason I downloaded that 30mb app through LTE (which by the way showed no status, it was just bam! ----installing! LOVE IT)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] schrochem:
The reason I got to looking was I was curious about how much data speedtest.net uses each time. Attached is the one from this morning (Beautiful!)

But it never showed up on my data usage.....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] funziebear:
8o lucky haha
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] schrochem:
I went ahead and called....

It seems they aren't really sure about these things.

It took awhile and they still seem a bit foggy on how this works.

PTA is supposedly a generic input for LTE data usage.

I had to google that to find out, not the tech support person.

I asked why it says 'sent' and why it did it when I was asleep.

After talking to the manager, the best answer they gave me was that each 'session' will compile the data then once it's over send it up.

So 'sent' means what I downloaded...go figure.

I still thought it was excessive despite downloading apps etc.

I can't get back on my VZW account (they waste no time kicking you off) but I had checked and I was only using 2Gb/month consistently.

I downloaded a data tracker app and then downloaded a 30mb app from the market. It recorded that just fine.

I use Dolphin Browser HD and went to www.androidcentral.com which has all sorts of graphics. I have the user set to 'desktop' so it's the full version webpage, just like i had it on my tbolt. That page was 3Mb!! So I opened the stock browser and did the same thing....3Mb....

If browsing the internet chews this much I'm screwed. I think my phone might be measuring data strangely or I would have seen massive usage on VZW. I went back to check because I wanted to know if it was 20Gb instead of 2Gb but that's highly unlikely.

My next step is to have a friend who has the tbolt on VZW and LTE to do the same thing and see if it records 3Mb.

I don't want to be a slave to watching my data consumption......

If anyone that uses LTE could check their data usage it would be good to see if you get PTA as a line item with some high hits....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dcfella:
Similar situation. I got the Note just over a month ago. While on my Evo3D and Evo 4G, I never went over 2GB, even though I watched tons of youtube in HQ, tethered, and surfed a lot of internet. My first month with AT&T, I almost hit the 3GB cap within the first 2 weeks with pretty much the same useage(actually probably less useage). Not sure if I have a rogue app somewhere.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] schrochem:
I had a friend on Tmobile 4G (sensation) do the same thing and his 1.5Mb to my 3Mb. I also had VZW LTE (tbolt) do the same and his was about 3Mb.

Now that's not a very good test actually. I guess I need to find a web page with an exact Mb size.

After downloading the data usage app I can see the main hogs. I watched a youtube video through Dolphin and it jumped 40Mb....

Just browsing through the market will gobble some up and of course downloading apps. The apps seem 1 for 1 meaning its the same size. I don't know if there is something else when streaming data or browsing data.

Anroid OS + others is also a main chunk

I was happy to see my email and texting apps don't use diddly squat....

I took a screenshot of the data use. this is just this afternoon and while I was working. The 'Web' is the default browser loading one page....

Basically, I should use wifi for downloading apps and watching videos....sucks.

I never worried about it on my Tbolt and was grandfathered unlimited but for whatever reason it didn't chew that kind of data up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] schrochem:
The whole reason I started looking was to see how much data the speedtest uses. Now I know. Each test is 19mb.so I guess I wont do those any more.....basically the 3gb plan means 100mb a day....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 00mred00:
Do you guys send /receive mms at all? I think that counts but not sure
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] schrochem:
Well tracking usage from 1pm on I used 100Mb with my internet browser.

It just seems excessive.....I'm really wondering if there is an LTE calculation in there.... :)

Just to come to XDA straight to the NOTE main forum, then this subforum and then to this thread is 1.5Mb

I like to constantly poke in to my favorite websites throughout the day. Now this is going to make me hesitant and that ruins the experience.

I'll defintely only download files and apps via wifi or computer.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lactardjosh:
Opera mini compresses the data on their side before it gets to the phone, reducing data consumption on your plan.

I think it's Opera mini...you have to read the descriptions of their two browsers to make sure.

Then again, I would like to know how "New" this is, if it's brand new, get it replaced, if it's not that new, well, you tried CWM and see if it made a difference?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CraiGDaniel:
Yeah sorry about the music ha. Girlfriends the guilty one.

Well, the tablet came with 3.2 installed so i'm assuming it's been recently produced.

I have put CWM on it via download mode (download mode doesn't have the graphical issue) but CMW brings the same result.

Im guessing i need to return it? It's well within its warranty.

I flashed ics a few days ago and have had very few problems and really enjoy it. However i have to GB because in the leak you can't connect to a wifi network that has uses the static ip connection type(rather than the default DHCP i think). This is a big problem. But any ways this should be as simple as restoring my backup via CWM right?

Thanks

Hi all, just need a little clarification please. I`ve been searching the forums but so far, no luck.

I have a SGS2 from rogers and have recently flashed an ICS rom (I also flashed a new kernel and radio). I want to go back to stock gingerbread. I have a CWM backup that I made right after rooting the device.

That leaves me with a few questions:

Since the CWM backup won`t set my radio back to what it used to be, do I have to do it manually?

If I don't, will everything still work fine with the I727UCALC4 radio even if i`m on gingerbread.

Thank you in advance for the responses. I just don't want to miss any steps and end up with a paperweight!!

i727_stock_kernel_odin.tar < I believe this is the ATT stock kernel

Radio_RIL__I727RUXKJ7.zip < Rogers i727 radio
