Like I was saying earlier, my neighbor told that he will use his phone to download movies all night while he is sleeping.

I didn't really say much...I just thought to myself "it will be because of people like you I will lose my unlimited data."
[Networking] boosterp:
Cell towers have a finite number of connections that they can handle, one. Two, while 4G equipment is currently integrated with 3G, 4G (LTE only) expansion is adding double the amount of people who can currently connect to one tower (cell) which is the dominate cell in their home or roaming network. This means in places like San Diego where VZW and ATT have congested networks LTE relives that congestion and adds more expansion.

Per ATT and VZW in the most congested network areas, San Diego being one, there are more cell phones than there are connections to a tower. Towers being limited by both federal and local government and roaming agreements lea to congestion over the 3G networks. LTE which VZW uses Siemens and Lucent as vendors not only allows double the capacity while maintaining a fast an reliable connection, but also allows for expansion at a much lower cost using existing towers. The industry sees a minimum of 5 years before more is need, which also means throttling is not around the corner for LTE. This is also why the major players are adopting LTE instead of WiMax and HSPA.

I have to throw in a disclosure. I am not saying that 3G has reached it's limit nor am I saying that one particular carrier has imposed limitations. Also the LTE adoption is the long term per industry. One last disclosure, I am also not stating that any one carrier "throttles" but do employ "network optimization" for 3G only whereas per independent studies have shown between 2-5% of users per carrier use more than 2 gigs of data.

I just have to say, I pay $30.00 for 2GB currently. I stream Spotify why at work all night 10pm-7am, with breaks of course when I get sick of music. Use facebook always why on my lunch or on the go, browse the web or check my e-mail. And in the four months I've had my phone have never even hit above 300MB, hell according to my bill I haven't even touched 1GB in the past four months total. I'll never understand how people can use up to 60GB in a few weeks. Makes no sense to me. Just like the Comcast data cap of 250GB, the highest with all my downloading from Steam and BT is only like 80-100GB monthly. (Gotta remember, Steam games can be up to 11GB)

I also turn off my 3G when it is not needed and use WiFi when at my house or at a friends that has wireless. Maybe I'm just smart with my usage? Haha.
[Networking] MrObvious:
OK so you are just saying the technology allows for more people than CDMA per tower purely on a tower to phone level I see. OK.

Quotes from the second source above:

"Shammo said that Verizon will move to a "revenue per account" metric that will more accurately measure the company's business."

"A lot of our 3G base is on unlimited," Shammo said. "When they migrate off 3G they will have to go to data share. That is beneficial to us."

I just left our good buddy Shammo a nice early morning nasty-gram on his VM. I can't post what I said to him here or I will get ban, but while it was non threatening and completely legal, it was probably some of the the most awful *hit I have ever said to another human being. He would have to be a complete sociopath not to be seriously offended. I hope he enjoys piss in his Wheaties because this VM was a gem.

And for the idiot(s) who think they are "safe" because they buy phones for full retail and not subsidized; you are NOT safe unless you have enough money to deal with Verizons lawyers in court. They WILL remove your unlimited data with in the next two years, whether you buy a subsidized or unsubsidized phone.

Its going to start for those who buy a new phone, but in the end no one will have unlimited.
[Networking] ATHORNFAM2:
Funny how Verizon steals from people they added a 20 dollar bill to my bill and I called them up to ask what it was they oh that's just fees. Hmm so why does my bill change every month when its set to 170 with the included tax and fees
[Networking] Stvnx7:
So will they be able to lock you out of unlimited data even if you simply activate a new phone w/o signing a new contract?

For example, if I had a backup Thunderbolt and my current one broke, would they have a right to force me to an paid data plan when i call to activate my backup? That would suck if they could. I guess I better take care of my current phone.
[Networking] Product F(RED):
No, as long as your replacement phone or even temp phone is a smartphone. However Verizon's CFO made it official that unlimited plans are being phased out: http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/16/...-plans-on-the-way-out/?a_dgi=aolshare_twitter
[Networking] sitizenx:
You probably have wifi at your work and home so you aren't even using your cellular data. What if you commuted for two hours each day on a train? If you watched netflix and other streaming video every work day you would certainly use more than 1GB a month. You have to accept that not everyone works at your company or lives in your house. People's lifestyles vary. It doesn't mean any one persons lifestyle is more valid than someone elses.
[Networking] Product F(RED):
I agree. There is 100% NO WAY that he uses all that data and it still amounts to 300 MB. He'd have to be on Wifi.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnhw:
My Galaxy S II right now is running the Gingerbread 2.3.5 XXKI3 build. What files/firmware do I need to flash ICS on it without any problems? What is the best version of ICS for the GSII right now (Official by the way.)? It is not rooted by the way.

I had problems originally on flashing ICS because it was stuck on the "factoryfs.img" or something like that on Odin.

And can someone give me instructions where to put these files on Odin. :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atifsh:
Be absolute sure that you got i9100 not the i9100G.

Download the firmware again flash using Odin. Try any of the newer ics roms

no offence to post above but please first flash stock ics using odin and wip using *2767*3855#
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zamrock:
To my knowledge i'm pretty sure you can use the stock ICS of any release of i9100, on any other phone, unless the release is carrier specified

my warning though is this if you install a i9100 release, on a i9100T you will have to flash the modem, if that does apply to you i suggest the LP6 modem

hope that helped
[Droid X General] sub2k1:
I recently purchased a used Droid x for the strict purpose of using as a dash cam for my car. I don't have Verizon and I skipped activation. I need GPS access all the time and wifi access intermittently but I have no use for the cellular radio. Airplane mode is of no help since it disables GPS. I want to get maximum battery life, how do I go about permanently disabling wlan since I'm using this device as a computer and not as a phone. I am running stock 2.3.5 rooted.

Methods tried:

*#*#INFO#*#* (Worked, temporary)

Network by Philipp Mangelow (Worked, temporary)

WiFi Only Script (Does not work at all)
[Droid X General] booda3000:
Since I'm running CM7, the path to "enable data" will be different.

But, menu\settings and then look for "enable data" or something to that effect and uncheck it.

Let me know how it goes.
[Droid X General] booda3000:
Sorry, menu/settings then network or data then uncheck "enable data".
[Droid X General] sub2k1:
Yes but will disabling data really stop the phone from trying to connect to the best tower? If a verizon tower can't be located will the phone burn battery life while roaming? When I think data I think 3g. I'm pretty sure it still connects for voice.
[Droid X General] booda3000:
in

Yes, data is the 3G data. I keep my data turned off and my Droid X lasts 24 hrs. It will be less with GPS on, of course.

What your trying to do is the correct thing.
[Droid X General] sub2k1:
Disabling data certainly gives a battery boost but at the end of the day I am still connecting to the cellular towers. With data disabled I see the signal going up and down. I tried a script that I found but it doesn't work for the droid x. I've tried freezing Dialer and Phone 2.3.5 using titanium backup but that doesn't disable the radio either. I downloaded a program called Network (by Philipp Mangelow) and it lets me successfully turn off the radio (it simply is a shortcut to dialing *#*#INFO#*#*), however this method is only temporary and the radio comes back everytime I reboot so I'd like a permanent way to disable it. Airplane mode does it but it also disables wifi and gps so its of no use. Any other ideas guys?

Personally I'm just buying a phone because I like it. I've had both evo 4g EVO 3d and both epics and am.still without 4g. I have got this far without its just a bonus to me if I ever do recieve lte. It's still the same price and my WiFi at home is better than 4g anyway. If you have stuck around this long no reason to jump ship now your halfway through the changeover

[HTC EVO 3D] decayer177:
The only reason I will eventually move to LTE (I'm already currently in a WiMAX area) is for the improved speeds and the lower frequencies. Lower frequency radio waves will better penetrate thick walls (like concrete) and will reduce how much battery it uses. Therefore, LTE is overall more stable than WiMAX technology.

Nobody is forcing you to stay with Sprint. If you want 4g LTE now, switch to Verizon.

Lol he already bought one :D Anyway's think he is just asking a general question about what people think about it...

Verizon plans and phones are over priced :D Good service and everything else..
[HTC EVO 3D] babyschmoof:
The big issue I see is a big price jump once lte is turned on. There is some serious traffic control that lte has that wimax doesn't. When they can truly see what being used and the rate of consumption, bye bye unlimited.
[HTC EVO 3D] ticklemepinks:
though I do think there will be a day when unlimited will be no more, i don't think it will be anytime soon, for 2 reason, 1 the premium data fee ($10) we all pay according to dan hasse is the reason we don't have tier data plans already, so if they switched they can't charge that anymore and 2 sprint uses it too much to advertise with, and is a reason so many of the customers are staying... if they lose that they will lose A LOT of customers...

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] }{Alienz}{:
Not that good at all. I'm pulling similar numbers with the Nexus extended battery which is a 2100mah and does NOT make the phone fatter at all.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] G1_enthusiast:
the screen doesnt take that much battery, its the polling of data that is taking energy, i know i stream tune-in radio for about 2 hours everyday (drive to and from work) and ussually if i have a stock battery i'll be down to 84% just to drive to work, by about 4-5pmpm it be almost dead just as i arrive at the house.

I know for a fact if you live in area where reception are bad, this battery will ultimately get me through the day, as if you have the stock battery it will be dead by noonish, polling data is a big deal that's why Juice defender works so well because, it bassiclly put your phone into airplane mode and therefore conserve battery.

o and I dont Dim my screen, or do anything that would hinder the purpose of a smart phone. been using this battery since it came out and it's worth it, I cant imagine having anything less. the size is not a factor at all, even my friend who is into ecstatic (dont know why, its a ****ing phone) he even admit that it's not that big, it might weight a bit more but to me that makes it more firm in my hand.

you either

A. dont use data, and use wifi

B. no synching

C. your screen brightness is down to 10%

D. you dont use your phone at all

E. all of the above

there is no way in hell you could get 30 hours on stock battery with "moderate" use...if moderate is define as not touching your phone every 3 hours then yes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] beyako:

[Motorola Droid X2] CadenH:
Well there were several eclipse releases for that build but I highly doubt anyone has access to them. Hosting for old roms isn't a priority. Honestly you are better off upgrading your build and kernel. 2.3.3 wasn't the most stable

You can do cm7dx2 with the 2.3.4 or eclipse 2.1 with the 2.3.5 update

I hear great things about eclipse is it very stable? And I would have to sbf to 2.3.5. How do I root that version?:D
[Motorola Droid X2] Travisdroidx2:
If you update to 2.3.4 then eclipse 1.3 is very stable! Let me know if you need a link. You can always save root with voodoo root keeper free app and just take the OTA.

I would also strongly using the rerecovery zips as well to always flash last before you reboot in bsr. If you are not sure what I mean I will post a link.
