I thin kits that Carrier notification message that @antoniosergius

is referring to

I thought it would just scroll past screens like the old nokias used to do but appears they send you a message

Have not tried it myself but give it a go

Cant give you the exact path right now as phone is charging but play around in the Settings menu most likely either under Call or Mobile
[HTC One X] marceloid:
Eu não tinha reparado nessa opção. No CM9 não tem essa opção, mas o problema definitivamente desapareceu. Depois você fala se resolveu o problema, caso eu volte pro ROM da HTC, é melhor sem essa mensagem irritante.

Outra coisa, eu reparei que quando eu deixava a rede para somente WCDMA, a mensagem não aparecia, só recebi as mensagens quando habilitava a opção "GSM/wCDMA Auto".

I didnt notice this setting. On CM9 I cant find this setting, but the annoying SMS from carrier is gone. Let me know if that solved the problem, if I flash the HTC Stock ROM back, it'll be a big plus having this issue gone. Just one more thing, I noticed that when I used the wCDMA only option for the mobile network, I didnt get any messages from the carrier, but when I set the option to "GSM/wCDMA auto", the messages started popping up again.

[Thunderbolt General] Bigwidge:
I know this is one of those things that everyone seems to complain about, but there is definitely something going on here. I have Seidios 3200 MAH extended battery for my ROOTED bolt, yet my friend running the same ROM as me is getting almost double the battery life with a stock battery. I know the first thing to check is if any apps are killing my battery, which I have checked through thoroughly with no luck. I have tried uninstalling these apps with no luck on better battery life. If it helps I'll post the apps I have

- Beautiful Widgets

- Brilliant Quotes Free

- Days left widget

- Draw Something Free

- Engadget

- Facebook

- iHeart Radio

- Instagram

- Twitter

- Yahoo Mail

- Ringdroid

- Root Explorer

- WeatherBug

- XDA

- Zedge

This of course doesnt include the stock apps on the ROM.

Currently running the Plan 9 ROM, if anybody has any tips for getting the battery up to par I would be very grateful!

EDIT: Forgot to mention how long my battery is lasting me. I'm getting about 8 hours before she is sucked dry
[Thunderbolt General] smtom:
Plan 9? For the Thunderbolt?
[Thunderbolt General] Bigwidge:
Actually it's called "Plan .9" Its only been out for a few days and it's a very very minimal sense ROM. It's missing alot of the sense features as to make the battery better, some people are getting up to 3 days while on it. And the developer is very responsive so far with adding sense widgets and squashing bugs. here is the link...

[Thunderbolt General] smtom:
Interesting, didn't know about this one. Sorry, I can be of no assistance with the battery issues you indicate.
[Thunderbolt General] disconnecktie:
Have you tried a battery calibration?
[Thunderbolt General] watt9493:
Seidio can be dirty filthy liars with their battery ratings too.

Sent from my ADR6400L
[Thunderbolt General] disconnecktie:
I've heard that too. I also have heard about fakes that say on the packaging and on the battery they are 2600mah when they aren't.
[Thunderbolt General] Bigwidge:
Oh really? Thats news to me.... hope my battery isnt one of those few. I tried a calibration this morning, and it didnt seem to help at all
[Thunderbolt General] disconnecktie:
Yea the Chinese are getting into making bogus crap and selling it in bulk to people on eBay and other places. My stepdad bought a bunch of bnib usb flash drives on eBay claiming to be 200gb and none of them worked. They were some of the best fakes I have ever seen. They were in packing identical to the actual product.
[Thunderbolt General] Bigwidge:
I bought my battery directly from Seidio, don't think its a Chinese scam. But Something is definitely eating my battery, although the battery usage is showing my display as the main culprit.
[Thunderbolt General] disconnecktie:
You're showing 5 hours and you are only at 56%. That would mean you have around 5 more hours. It looks like you made some serious phone calls which would eat up a lot of battery too. I don't know if you use auto brightness but it can help if you disable it and set it at the lowest possible setting you can stand. Another thing you might look into is the Facebook app. It was causing a wake lock on my phone so I removed it and that helped me a lot.
[Thunderbolt General] donnyp1:
If its a sense rom, try imo 5.2 kernel for sense. Use setcpu for a screen off profile of 245/386. If its desensed alot, you can probably get away with underclocking it to 768. Brightness is huge batt hog, set as low as possible. I have as few things syncing as possible also. Interesting looking rom, i will try it out with my stock battery and let you know.
[Thunderbolt General] donnyp1:
Ok, its loaded. Fastest booting rom ive had. I did try ziggys 11:05 kernel first, did not overclock, but did set screen off profile. This thing flys, and i havent played much with it yet. Ill let u know more tomorrow.
[Thunderbolt General] carycooke:
the best battery life ive ever gotten was from the full blown MR4 rom with the stock MR4 kernel and the MR4 radio

people say that the MR4 Kernel slows the bandwidth down somehow and maybe it does but its awesome on battery life
[Thunderbolt General] Bigwidge:
Thats the thing, I only spent about 15 minutes total throughout the day on the phone so it seems like its eating much more battery than usual. Maybe I'll try a new kernel and see how that pans out.
[Thunderbolt General] Bigwidge:
do you have a link for the imo 5.2 kernel?

Edit: Nevermind I found it -- http://rootzwiki.com/topic/603-kernel-gb-sense-leankernel-minimalistic-kernel-620-5612/ . Trying out the settings you reccomended now, I'll get back with the results after a charge up!
[Thunderbolt General] donnyp1:
Im at 40% after 9 hours, 56% display, 17% phone calls, other assorted. Stock battery. All in all, id say not to bad.
[Thunderbolt General] Bigwidge:
wonder why mine is that much less... who knows anymore haha
[Thunderbolt General] donnyp1:
Id guess its your widgets, im completly stock besides ziggys kernel. Tomorrow ill try the imo kernel.
[Thunderbolt General] tkuczyn:
I'd try to turn off widgets, but also turn off all background running apps.

Seal is a good program to keep apps from turning on imo. I use it to limit usage - on most Roms I get almost 30 hrs of battery life. (Extended battery).

Good trick - overnight I use Airplane Mode and my battery drops at most 5% for 10 hrs. :-)

I have 2 AP's in my house, same SSID, different channels (6,11). However, my Android phone doesn't change channels when it's closer or farther from one router or the other. Anyone have an idea on how to make it change channels to get the best wifi signal as other devices do?

Any one knows which files are the ones that contains the TXT data, phone data, contact data phone log data?

I just did a total data wipe back to factory and Titanium works great to restore all your programs and most settings but for example I restored GO SMS and the actual TXT did not come back, I restore phone and the calls did not come back.

Now I have been using My phone explorer and all this data was there but i am curious to know if titanium backs up this data and what are the name of the files.

Also I realized that if you do not have a copy of Titanium in your SD card you have a big problem after a complete data wipe on your phone.

I personally had a copy on box (cloud) so i was able to re install it and go from there. It took me around 10 minutes to have all my phone restore to normal exception all my contacts, TXT, emails that I restore with my phone explorer.

Also in my titanium back up I could not find my gmail settings since I only set up that account to be able to run my phone market I did not remember my user name nor the password. Anyone knows where that information is store in titanium backup? I have to get the info from my rollodesk.

Also all my WIFI passwords which file do I need to restore?

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] miketoasty:
I know this doesn't directly relate to the Galaxy Nexus, but personally this is the only reason I have my Nexus on Verizon. So if you are in the same boat as me give this a read:

http://cnet.co/Jel0xa
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Had to happen eventually.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
This. Is why I told my friends to switch to the double data promo a couple months ago. I am Jack's total lack of surprise.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
I would just like to take this moment to say this to all the people who said I was wrong about this ever happening:

IN YO' FACE!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Character Zero:
Well I guess we need to wait for the exact info but there is some speculation that even someone on your family account changing phones could cause anyone on the same account to lose unlimited. My wife just recently downgraded from Android to iPhone (has had 2 HTC phones which both would not shut off the screen when she had it next to her face and she doesn't like the screen size of the LTE phones) who I guess now has a 3G unlimited plan down from a 4G plan she had when she was using my old Thunderbolt. While she doesn't use that much data and being forced into a tiered plan when she upgrades in 2 years won't be a big deal but I want to keep my unlimited even if it means buying phones off contract. The only thing that might make it ok is the $60 I pay now between both phones for data can be used for like a 10 or 20 gig bucket.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
I will be pissed if they don't offer us AT LEAST the double data promo.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
I think thats exactly the opposite of how its going to work, if you have a contract with them, you can make them honor it. If you do not have a contract with them, your screwed. Right now I am paying $50 for 10GB, if the "data share" thing comes through, I imagine they would charge you $10/each additional phone on your plan, you would be looking at around $60/10GB IF they are still offering the double data! That's a BIG if, you better call them right now. Normally $50 gets you 5GB.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lrs421:
It is what it is, these wireless companies are all the same. Personally I'm tired of the misinformation, online petitions and broken promises. When my contract is up and they try to move me or my 3G wife to another plan I'll let my wallet do the talking and go to the company that offers the best overall value.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
The problem for me is VZW is the only carrier to actually have reception in my area, and everybody knows it, so they can charge whatever they want. I have a choice of paying VZW a super premium and always being able to use the device I am paying for, or paying a competitor and not having service.:(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
People were in denial if they thought they'd never have to get rid of unlimited on VZW.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Denial isn't just a river in Egypt.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TeeRom:
I'm just shocked they won't let us use it through the rest of our contract. Giving people only a few months using it and making them switch mid contract is beyond awful.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lblacklol:
Looking for advice

So now I need some advice. According to these reports, specifically on techcrunch, "Shammo makes it sound like only customers who upgrade after the change takes place will have to pick a new data plan (for better or worse), and with any luck they’ll leave the lucky souls who have already locked their old data plans alone for now."

I bought a Gnex on verizon a few weeks after it came out. I'm currently on a family plan and I'm the only one who has a smartphone on the plan (3 total phones, mine's one of the "added" lines). Currently I'm on a "month to month" I guess is what it's called. My particular line's contract expired at the beginning of this month and I am currently just paying my same charges with unlimited data, but not bound into the 2 year agreement as far as I'm aware.

What I want to know is how to handle it from here on out, if there's a way to even handle it well. I would like to renew my contract and be able to keep my grandfathered unlimited data through this garbage, which means I need to act immediately before they put this crap into effect, assuming it won't go retro active. So with that being said, can I just simply call and get my contract renewed for 2 years and that be that? Is there even a way to do that? I just don't want to blow whatever extra time I have on my grandfathered unlimited data.

I realize that all the information isn't there, but how would you guys handle this if you were in my position? I don't want to screw myself, I use 8-12 gb of data a month so this is sort of important.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chlehqls:
Welcome to corporate greed in America. Where carriers love to rip you off and lock you down for two years.

Of course this was bound to happen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Maybe we should move to Canada, where the greed is much less.

Oh wait, they have 3 year contracts :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dadsterflip:
Reading through all these sites and Shamu or shammon quotes sounds like people with 3g upgrading to 4g phones will be forced into the shared data plans. But hell either way were all screwed.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Don't give them your money then?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nexus9988:
How can they just change my contract for that? I have a grandfathered unlimited plan and I don't think its right I pay 110$ a month and they just switch my plan when they want?...I'll be leaving verizon if this happens and when my contract expires.

These people need to be regulated its incredible they have been able to charge these prices.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
all they have to do is notify you of the change and allow you out of your current contract with no penalty and it is all very legal
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:
The only reason they charge such high prices is because people will pay it...and have been for a long time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] miketoasty:
Funny thing is, I will jump ship if they let me, $30 Unlimited plan from T-Mobile/Walmart sounds a lot better than the $115 I am paying right now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] randpost:
I pretty sure I will be jumping over to T-Mobile regardless of my unlimited data plan I currently have. I only have a few more months to go for my 4th and 5th line to finished their contracts. T-Mobile is pretty good in my area, and I don't leave the metro area that often. Seems like a logical move for me.

Verizon is definitely a good network, but I'm looking to lower my huge monthly cell phone bill.

I might go AT&T also. I want to be able to use GSM phones. I don't like being restricted only to what Verizon has to offer. No One X, no Galaxy Note, etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mthe0ry:
So, I suffered through 11 months with a Thunderbolt, 4 defective devices 3 of which could not maintain a 4g connection.

I also paid $60/mo during this period - despite an average of 25% service reliability and nowhere near SLA satisfactory levels - for unlimited plus tethering, with the idea I was getting a bargain for the future on limited offerings.

Now I pull up engadget this morning and see I'm getting ****ed in the ass by Big Red.

Cool man, real cool.

I'll wait for the details to come out and if Verizon does not do something to acknowledge the pain and suffering early LTE adopters went through, I will be leaving them so fast it will not even be funny. I will return to a dumbphone before they get another cent from me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
:eek: :eek: :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Neera:
I hope they won't put this change in effect in the middle of our contracts. That would stink to high heavens.

My husband and I are on a family plan. I got my Nexus on release day in December and was able to keep my unlimited data, so my 4G should be safe for the remainder of the 2 year contract yes?

Hubby still has an older 3G phone though. :(

His contract has been up for months, so he is essentially contract free. Should we go ahead and get him a 4G phone now to get him on a 2 year contract again (and keep unlimited data), so he won't be forced into the new shared data crap this summer?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Unless he's itching for a new device you might want to just wait and follow the story. Right now there is allot of speculation as to what will happen, I'm sure we will get the details from VZW soon enough.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:
If you were planning on keeping Verizon, then I'd say yes, as much as I hate contracts.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rakeesh_j:
I think sprint could afford to keep their unlimited data indefinitely, but only because they are the slowest network in the US with the worst 3g and 4g coverage.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BrianDigital:
right on sheadule looks like both companies from the off-shoot of ma'bell seems to be at one with each other now
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Precisely. This has been the case for a long time. Its really a marketing term that they can say "truly unlimited", knowing fully that it doesn't matter because its so slow you'll never be able to use that much.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sirgoob:
If you have a current contract with them and the change it, you can leave without any penalties imposed. Hoping this happens right around Nov when the next Nexus phone comes out. Looks like its back to TMO
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lipmonger:
I think this is actually a good thing. Along with the recent news of Google planning to sell up to 5 Nexus devices direct later this year, the writing is now on the wall that carriers will lost their subsidized-phone-sales/2-year-contract scheme.

Google tried pushing the European model of "buy direct" and choose-your-monthly-pre-paid-plan later with the Nexus One, but VZW and other carriers bullied them into submission. Fast forward a couple of years and Google is now wiser and better prepared to tackle the carrier creeps.

This move is simply a last ditch effort by VZW to hold on to as many profits as they can before they lose the phone-subsidy/contract business all together. We will all eventually be buying devices direct from manufacturers, retailers, etc., and simply tacking on the pre-paid monthly plan that we like --- WITHOUT A CONTRACT!

Unlimited plans will likely disappear entirely (from ALL carriers), but now carriers will be competing FOR our business, instead of dictating their terms to us. We may actually see monthly plans DROP as they fight for our dollars.

Think of this as a good thing.... it may just take a few years for the new model to take hold, and for all of us to adjust to it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
It is not a good thing, imo. As long as Americans don't want to pay full price for a device, the subsidy model will thrive. It isn't a last ditch effort as much as an attempt to increase profits by charging overages.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lipmonger:
But they already charge overages. Nowhere in America can some one buy a phone at a contract price WIHTOUT a contract - and that's the scam. The contract does NOT let the consumer pay for what they use, and in most cases people end up paying more for unused data/voice plans, just to pad the carrier's profits. There's already a built in over-charge for services the carrier inherently knows you WON'T use.

How is that choice?

Yes, many people don't want to pay full price for a device, but that has already been shown in numerous articles regarding the Nexus sales model, most users will actually SAVE $400-$600 over a 2 year period buying prepaid monthly plans, instead of locking into a contract. And that INCLUDES the cost of an out-of-contract device! Once users look beyond the contract change, and actually evaluate the math, they'll find the buy-direct model is actually in their best interest.

Giving the carriers the upper hand with their contract scheme was always a flaw of the system. Google knew it and worked to change it - they just got kicked in the nuts the first time around. This time, they're ready to tussle. And here's one Nexus user hoping they succeed!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
True, but not for unlimited data users. Now they will be able to.

As for using the Nexus sales model as an example, I would like to mention that it has not gone over very well in the US. Take a look at Nexus One sales when they were online only, and not subsidized. XDA is not a good sampling when taking the model into consideration.
