They call it unlimited, but it's not. Thing is, they don't tell you what the limit is. From the Howard Forums, it appears to be somewhere around 100M/day and 2G/mo.

Their ToS also includes "no tethering" and "no streaming", but they appear to be just looking at usage.

Thing is, if they decide you're "abusing", you get a warning, then you get shut off. So your number's gone (can only port from a working number).

Not an issue for me 'cause I use Google Voice, but it could likely be one for you

BTW, I switched my (unlocked) T989 to the ATT network when I went with ST. Works fine. Data speeds are nothing to write home about, but coverage is spotty where I live (a bit less spotty for ATT, hence the switch).

Roaming into NE Maine's better then it was with (prepaid) T-mobile, but, as the roaming agreement's between ST and whichever carrier, I'd guess it would be better if I went with T-mob as well.

The T898's a pentaband phone: works fine on a number of carriers, including ST/ATT.

I have a unlocked and rooted t989 and have used it on the at&t side of straight talk have gotten 5 mbps down and about 1 mpbs up and the 4G icon was displayed. I'm sure if I installed a at&t based modem, I could get better DL speeds.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] phoenix6:
I Think I just may do this, it sounds GREAT... few questions...

1. Can I just run by Wal-Mart and get the sim card? (pretty sure I can right?)

2. I need to ask for the AT&T Compatible SIM Card RIGHT? (I have a t989)

3. T-mo Modem will be ok?

4. I will get the SAME 4g Coverage as AT&T? (IE. When I go down to our families bay house, Tmo gets me G yes, just G lol, while my GFs Skyrocket gets 4g still... I want this lol)

I know all of this has somewhat been answered in this thread, but I wanted to get a straight line of answers before I make a decision such as this (I have read it all). Thank you all for the help!

I've been paying $50 a month with T-mobile prepaid. Never had a problem, wifi tether till my hearts content. Unlimited everything. Whats the big deal? $5 savings? Why go thru the hassle when you can get a plan WITH tmo for $50 a month?

Walmart family mobile works too, gfs sgs2 is locked to T-Mobile
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] acexnx316:
1. Yes

2. With a T989, you can use either a T-Mobile OR AT&T SIM and you will be fine... It is recommended to buy whichever one you get best service with in your area...

3. Yes

4. If you purchase an AT&T SIM and install an AT&T modem, yes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] phoenix6:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] savagepagan:
I am using a Galaxy note from AT&T now, but I popped in the sim card into the t989 just to see what would happen. Tmo sux here in Durham where there is no 3G service by tmo. I switched from tmo to the AT&T side of ST. I had the t989 when I was with tmo.

About the sim card. I do not think you can buy it separately at walmart. At least not my walmart. The sim card may come with the ST branded phones sold at walmart. Otherwise you will have to buy the sim card from the ST website.

As I said, I went with the at&t side of ST cuz tmo coverage stinks here. 98 percent of the time I am on edge. Tmo 4G here is a joke.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sillar68:
Is your t989 unlocked? How did it work with the AT&T sim?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cr2069:
TMobile S2 will work with Net10 BYOP program too. Just switched from TMobile to NET10, it works flawlessly, except a little problem to port the number(it succeeded eventually).

Straight-talk and Net10 are the same company under Tracfone, similar plan. They do not own any real network but purchase volume from major operators. If you have TMobile SIM with TMobile phone(does not matter lock or unlocked), it just runs on TMobile network. If you bring ATT phone and bought SIM for ATT, then it just runs on ATT network. Only catch is unlimited plan is required for BYOP. You can also use any unlocked GSM phones, but no guaranty on data speed.

My S2 works exactly the same as in TMobile, 4G speed, without limit or speed reduction. Note, Straight-talk has much more strict policy on data usage even though it claims unlimited plan. They might terminate your service if you use too much data in a short period, but so far not in Net10.

Oh, I cant get data or MMS if...IF I flash any ICS rom on my GS2, no idea why.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Husam2011:
You can't buy sims from Walmart, i've tried that. Also, the cap is about 100 mbs/day or 2gbs a month, which is annoying for most of us im guessing. ST acts weird on my mum's iphone 4, the call quality is bad at times, but that only happend a few times. you need to get t-mobile's ST simcard or you'll get lower speeds on the att simcard, and you will need to be unlocked. I'd recommend to somehow get the Small Business $40 a month plan, which includes 1000 minutes, unlimited text and data but with a 2 year contract. http://business.t-mobile.com/small-business/cell-phones-plans/unlimited-plans
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Lukemanius:
Have you input the APN into those devices? Your device has to know where to get it's data and MMS from. Look in Settings>More>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names (at least that's the path I take on my GS2).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] roketteere:
You don't need the ATT modem to get the ATT 4G.

I've had straight talk for almost a year now and I've used the iPhones, Infuse 4G, and Hercules with no data issues or caps.

Remember that the Hercules comes with both radio bands already. I personally flashed the skyrocket radio and at first I thought there was a difference but at the end there wasnt.

on the 45 dollars a month plan, do you have 4g or 3g speeds?????

Thank you in advanced.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] roketteere:
Yo will not get LTE unless you have an ATT imei. Yes I am sure.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] pb3000:
i dont mind not getting lte the thing is 3g speeds on simple mobile just plain suck and at straight talk is 45 dollars at simple is 60 for 4g if i get at least a couple of megs dl speed im happy
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] roketteere:
Well u get HSPA which a lot of people would consider 4G. And the great thing is that they don't cap your data. Also they do sell T-Mobile compatible Sims.

Hi,

I understand that kernel developer Faux123 has been working hard on the ICS BT stack,with some degree of success.

Look HERE

His 004 ultimate kernel is what you are looking for.

Just in case it does not suit you or does not work,make a nandroid backup,

then,wipe cache and dalvik,and flash like a ROM.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] PulseDroid:
1st man your internet downloads FAST!!!

2nd Sometimes it does not go 2 second level if your phone is full

if you have a clean install+slaidyboost+fast rom(bloatware gone) it works

also it is much!much! better with chainfire 3d and nividia drivers

so the game is actualy to heavy 4 our ace but with a rom like stocklite it works!;)

GOOD LUCK

[Galaxy S II General] v1rtu4l:
what does a higher change number bring you, when most of the changes done is by the carrier who (most of the time) does change things to the worst.

i'd always prefer an open firmware (like the german one) to a carrier f'd up firmware with a slightly higher build number
[Galaxy S II General] robsoniqe:
I am just saying is higher (changelog) .. Not better so easy ;) in second hand i dont think so that the only changes are for worse like 3d app..

Wysłane z mojego GT-I9100 za pomocą Tapatalk
[Galaxy S II General] victorator:
So what you're saying is each carrier increases the Changelist count.

Which means the next firmware you get with an even higher changelist count will already include the supposed carrier changes.

The changelist refers to the android framework and kernel changes.

It has nothing to do with the carrier. It's manufactured and developed by samsung.
[Galaxy S II General] v1rtu4l:
are you sure about that ?

of course carrier changes by carrier A will not get carried over to carrier B !

my understanding is:

google delivers an build with buildnumber with Changelist X

now carrier A fiddles around with that build to customize it which will result in an Changelist value of X+Y (Y being the customer changes)

carrier B might get the same build by google and fiddle around less with it

the resulting changelist value of X gets added by Z (Z being carrier B changes) which is a lower value

just because changelist in rom B is lower than in rom A doesn't make rom A "newer"...

for a better understanding i will put numbers and names into it:

google releases a android 4.0.3 build to carriers with a changelist of 200'000.

verizon takes that build and customizes it which results in their rom having a changelist of 230'000.

at&t takes the same build (with changelist of 200'000) and adds fewer changes, resulting in their rom having a changelist of 210'000.

does that mean that verizons rom is newer ? no, it's just that they made more changes to the available stock/vanila build by android.

in the end people want newer vanila builds and not the latest carrier changes!

so a carrier rom with changelist 350'000 is probably based on an older build than an open rom with a changelist of 340'000.
[Galaxy S II General] victorator:
What happens if we get another XWLP8, unbranded this time?

Does it mean that samsung accepted the carrier changes and implemented them into their generic build?

This has happened many times in the past.

The only rational explanation is that XWLP8 is simply newer and has more bugs fixed than XWLP7.
[Galaxy S II General] v1rtu4l:
No, of course not. there are three parties involved here. Google, samsung and the Carrier. The order is fixed and does imply that a carrier change will not be applied to the next samsung rom, just like a samsung change will not be applied to the next vanilla Android build, since google has no interest to modify their base build to incorporate changes that add functions for samsung phones just as samsung won't apply a carrier modification to their general build, because it does not make any sense to have modifications that make a device work better on only one Carrier and worse on others.

I think you live in the illusion that a carrier would actually add features to a ROM that every user would benefit from which is just not true

It might just be a bad usb cable. When you plug the phone to the computer, do you hear the common sound you hear when you plug a device to the usb port? It's possible that the data wires of the usb cable is broken while the wires for the power is still okay that's why it's charging and not detecting it's plugged in to a computer. Try to test it with a different cable.

If it's the same result then you can consider checking the phone and the computer ports.

USB Cable, USB Port on PC or Phone.

Try connecting to another computer, that way you eliminate the phone.
