phones4u is currently doing £27 24month contract on O2, 300mins, 500Mb data, also doing £26 24 month on vodafone 300mins, 500Mb data. But phone free, and SIM free, unbranded as I was told yesterday when I was in one of their shops playing around the one s. (oh yes, the deals only available online but I think that's better cos you have the 14days cooling period which in store you don't get it)

I am planning to get the o2 deal since always on o2 but just waiting to decide which colour to go for... just cannot decide...
[HTC One S] nozzla:
i really need 1gb of data! i am going for the grey, just to get away from the black ones chipping whilst those phones are still in circulation!

Cheers all.
[HTC One S] mardon85:
Three are by far the best. Just changed to them and their signal and 3G speed is great! When tethered to my PC using wifi and the three networks 3G on speed test I get 56ping, 8/9mb Download, 2.5mb upload.

The deal I went for was Unlimited Data, 1000mins, 5000 texts for £33 a month with £60 credit spread over 3rd and 4th bill.
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
3 have come a long way...

I used to hate them, They where horribly branded, and removing the simlock was almost impossible, compared to other networks.

But they are at the top for smartphone deals, The internet deals they offer + the speed is almost unbeatable.
[HTC One S] CaveManDave:
I totally. I remmember their first proprietary handsets and they were nasty cheap plastic... Do you remember those £11 3 phones from Savers? The advertising used to get right on my nerves too, and the support was aweful. I came back to them in 2010 for the One Plan and haven't been more impressed with a carrier since.

Support is also top notch, never have to wait in a queue and like you say, the speeds are the best around...

I don't want to sound like I'm advertising them, but they really have turned a new leaf in terms of service and reliability.. As well as the fact they don't put their fugly logo on every phone I buy anymore :P
[HTC One S] nafonja:
Have been with ThreeUK for 4 years, had to cancel my contract this month, as I moved to a new place and don't have any signal indoors what-so-ever. I also found their customer support very useless to help me solve my problem, but had no problems in past to get a good deal for upgrade.

Now I'm with T-mo and my phone arriving tomorrow :)
[HTC One S] ccart:
I'm on that tariff but I pay £32 a month as I've been an O2 customer a while so I got 1gb for the price of 500mb (£6). They also threw in 50mms messages a month. I also get 500 o2 to o2 minutes and since almost all of my friends and family are on o2 it works out well. If you've been with them a while give them a call and see what they say. 2 years ago I had a similar situation and I just asked and got 2 extras just like that (unlimited o2 to o2 calls and 500mb bolt on, both for free). If not that 3 deal that someone mentioned for £33 seems like a steal. Phone was free on o2 btw.
[HTC One S] nozzla:
I've been with O2 for 12 years on the same number and they will offer me nothing!!

I might just for the ease go with O2. or i will buy the phone and get a giffgaff sim card!
[HTC One S] ccart:
Wow thats shocking! I've only been with them 5 years and even then this is the most expensive tariff I've ever taken out with them...usually I was a SIM only customer (£15 a month). I go on their live chat thing and ask what are my options are and I usually get someone saying 'well since you've been with us a while' etc etc. Maybe try your luck and say you've been with them 12 years and you want this phone but that tariff is too expensive and competitors are cheaper and you may have to leave. They seem to value customers so could offer you a loyalty discount (and yes they do this cause my account has a bolt on thingy saying 'Loyalty Discount, -£4'). I have half a mine to ask them to knock another few ££ off for those 50mms messages cause they will NEVER get used lol.
[HTC One S] nafonja:
If you have been with your provider for quite a while, then try and call their cancellation line and request your PAC code, they will offer you a really good deal just to keep you with them, but if you deny all their offers and go away with the PAC code, wait for another call... with the best deal possible :)
[HTC One S] nozzla:
got pac code. no further calls. sod them! i've gone with the Three UK deal. 500 minutes, unlimited data and texts. £32 a month. O2 have disappointed me to say the least!

EDIT: Thanks for all your advice!
[HTC One S] nafonja:
Why no one commented on the deal that I found?

Is it because of T-Mobile or 300 minutes is not enough?

I have never used T-Mo, so I'm curious a little bit now
[HTC One S] cookpass:
I'm on Orange panther 31. As it suggests, £31 with 400 mins, unlimited texts and 750mb data though CPW. Also includes free sky sports on the phone and another one of those swappable things.

I also get 15% loyalty discount for staying with them so works out at £26 odd :) coupled with roaming data access to T-Mobile I'm very rarely without H connection.
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
whats this roaming data ?? How do you use tmobile when your with orange ?

Id like to know more about this, because with vodafone the 3g signal is non existent where i live, But tmobile have excellent 3g signal (my GF is with them) :(
[HTC One S] cookpass:
Basically, if you're on Orange (my carrier) or T Mobile you can use either network for phone and data. Mine seems to spend more time on T Mobile than Orange but either way, coverage is great :) it automatically picks the best one I think.

You also can manually move to either via network selection if you prefer.

Plus orange do that loyalty discount too.
[HTC One S] Stiflerlv:
I personaly dont understand, why u all look for "carrier" phones with monthly payment...

Isnt there any "local" internet shops (similar to ebay/amazon) where you can buy? Here there is planty of them! Choose the one u like or the price u like and go ahead!

You can see some of search results here "http://www.salidzini.lv/search.php?q=htc+one" But ofc, these shops dont send outside Latvia, so its not option for thread author
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
Ohhh i know what you mean now, Orange and Tmobile joined up last year..

I just thought you mean, if you internet connection is crap you could use someone else network lol

Like I (vodafone) could use... say 3 UK network when my 3g network fails.... haha that would be impressive
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hoeni:
So I got following problem:

I was on Slim 3.2, did a cwm backup and wanted to upgrade to 3.3.

Probably it was a bad download or something, because I got stuck at the boot animation.

After I wanted to restore my backup I didnt even get into recovery, so I did a clean install with odin on 2.3.6.

Then I flashed cm9 to try restoring my data again, same problem.

I tried to restore my data several times, from cm9, from slim 3.2, but every time I get stuck on boot animation. Once I even let it sit for 40 minutes.

While restoring everything seems fine. Checking MD5 sums, erasing boot before restore, restoring boot image, system, data, datadata.

But then it says that .android_secure.img wasn't found, so it just skipped that and completed the restoration.

Reboot and stuck on boot anim.

Anyway to fix that? I'd be really gratefull if I got my app data back :o
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TIGER 123:
flash darky xxjvu-re through odin heres a video showing a guide it not jvu its 10.2 re,same thing this will restore your phone ie get it working again

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hoeni:
What to do when I got Darkys Rom on my phone?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A3eMaN:
Darky install the latest kernel, and then restore..

I think your problem is solved
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hoeni:
Flashed Darky with Odin, flashed semaphore1.0 to get a more recent cwm and then restored my backup.

Now, every time I start my phone I get to cwm. If I choose reboot I get into cwm again.

What do now?
[Xperia Play General] jaickyt:
Hi everyone I am new to the xperia play community. .

I was flashing ics on my friend's Samsung galaxy s I9000 and saw that the new kernels were in flashable zip format..

Is it possible for xperia play? because then there would be no need to connect xplay to computer..
[Xperia Play General] lightningdude:
Flashable kernels are not possible on this phone because recovery isn't on a separate partition.
[Xperia Play General] jaickyt:
Ok thanks for quick reply ..

so no possibilities in future kernels a well..
[Xperia Play General] MilkyJoePD:
How do kernels get flashed when using an ftf?
[Xperia Play General] will8578:
I always wondered how other phones that hav locked bootloaders, how u can flash the whole rom and kernel together, but on the play u cant, i just assumed that the kernel and the system parts must be different
[Xperia Play General] MilkyJoePD:
To quote myself, how?
[Xperia Play General] lightningdude:
Kernel is part of the boot partition. When you flash your phone to stock using an .ftf, it flashes boot, system, and userdata.
[Xperia Play General] MilkyJoePD:
So it's possible to flash a kernel? Why only with an ftf file?

I know it's not fastbooting because I can't install the drivers for fastboot again for some reason.
[Xperia Play General] lightningdude:
You can flash a kernel in fastboot by using a boot.img file, but for those with locked bootloaders, only an .ftf can write to boot.
[Xperia Play General] MilkyJoePD:
So it's possible to flash a Kernel?
[Xperia Play General] Solar.Plexus:
Yes, through fastboot with an unlocked bootloader.
[Xperia Play General] captain67:
When you flash an ftf for stock, the software is signed digitally by Sony. If you flash an unsigned kernel when your bootloader is still locked, you'll get a boot loop.

Flash mode, which is what flashtool uses, is meant for applying official updates, so it's really only meant for signed, official software.

Fastboot on the other hand is for developers.

You could try making an ftf with a custom kernel, but it's basically pointless when fastboot is so easy and it won't boot unless you're unlocked anyway.
[Xperia Play General] jaickyt:
Exactly..once you have unlocked bootloader,then its just a matter of seconds to change kernel..

I change and try new kernels and roms every second day.
[Xperia Play General] bamsbamx:
but i suppose... if we boot the complete kernel with recovery and copy it to the ram memory, we could flash flash the partition where recovery is insatelled...am i wrong??
[Xperia Play General] MilkyJoePD:
I can't get into fastboot mode anymore so flashing a kernel in flash mode would be useful. Ftf files flash them in flash mode.
[Xperia Play General] captain67:
If you can't use fastboot I'd recommend checking in the service menu, and making sure the bootloader is still unlocked. If it's not you're just gonna end up with a boot loop.
[Xperia Play General] Trooper_Max:
That sounds plausible to me. Just like you can run some Linux distributions live off a USB drive and then remove (or format the USB drive) - only certain ones like Puppy linux can do this though, they have to run from RAM like you're saying. Another option might be to copy the recovery (or necessary files) to the cache partition (if there is enough room) so that the recovery isn't dependent upon that partition so it can be wiped/reflashed. I'm not familiar enough with this level of Android development to know how hard this might be though - but I think it should be possible.

But it would be dangerous... if something goes wrong and your device fails in the middle of the process, the partition may be hosed, in which case you might not be able to boot at all (not into recovery or normally). You'd be hosed until you get to a computer to flash a firmware or kernel, making flashing away from a computer dangerous anyway.

So it's probably more error-prone and more hassle to implement for such small reward (it just takes one extra step with a computer to flash a kernel).

~Troop
[Xperia Play General] MilkyJoePD:
It's definitely a PC problem.
[Xperia Play General] bamsbamx:
Well, but its something... if something gone wrong,

We always are able to reflash an ftf file and restore nandroid backup... i will create a new thread in the developement forum tomorrow , and lets see if developers can make this posible:)
[Xperia Play General] captain67:
You can't restore a nandroid with a phone that won't boot into recovery though. If something went wrong with flashing the kernel, you would be stuck until you get home before you can fix it.
[Xperia Play General] bamsbamx:
Of course, there is a risk we have to assume... thanks for the answer

In JJ & Sirkay's defense... Its pritty usable for every day... battery is drained slightly faster than JJ's hybrid...

Its a choice, battery life great = AOKP by siraky buggy wifi

FXP 115 = everything working, battery kinda sux

FXP 112 = Battery ok, not as good as sirkay's... Wifi good, USB Mass storage = instant reboot.. "USB mode switch for SGS1 on CM"-app will fix that

I cant run anything else anymore either.. Love this rom!
