[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tri0xinn:
IMO.. if your grandfathered in at ~90.. unlimited everything then I wouldn't dump it.. I've had all services and I would say Att is only 2nd to Verizon.. and just barely.. I am with Sprint now which I would say is on par with ATT but the unlimited everything for 99 is what keeps me. I guess it depends on your usage though.. if you never go over 2gb or 3gb a month in Data then you probably won't miss anything.. only thing is Att carries most popular phones.. along with exclusivity with the NOTE and if you love the Note then everything else will fall short..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] klee2000:
I'm using Straight-Talk with my Note and its pretty good for what you pay for $45 I dont know at what gb they throttle at but I've had service for around two weeks and I'm at least 1.5gb.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tri0xinn:
How does the straight talk prepay thing work? just pay for the card and slap the sim in and it works? Does the Note have to be unlocked or rooted? Is it using att or tmobile?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tyler79durdan:
It would be on Cingular/AT&T towers, no root or unlock needed. Buy the Sim for 15 and the unlimited card for 45. Its like a 63 dollar bill total. Specify AT&T phone and regular not micro Sim... Plug and play except the son change but its like 5 entries in son... Easy stuff and same coverage...ISH. No lte though
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] brandon440:
So I am pretty much a Noob when it comes to the whole SIM card thing. Where could you buy the correct SIM card for this to work? 15 bucks sounds cheap...for sure would like to know how to go about all this!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jshinn1:
just go to straighttalk.com and shop there for the ATT sim card like the other guy said not the micro but regular size one
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] expertune:
TMobile 4G is pretty good
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tyler79durdan:
Son is supposed to be apn... Lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jshinn1:
Im thinking about this one too sounds like i might get better service on this than on Straighttalk but since Im going off contract I'll probably try both to see which is better.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JGuinan007:
If your grand fathered unlimited you should just stay with them til they get wont honor your unlimitted. Just my opinion.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] towncop1978:
Do you get 4g service or 3g.... I know you said you don't get lte.....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] popi09:
You would only get 3G or hspa+ speeds on Straight Talk
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] chiwire2000:
straight talk

i think i will go with the straigh talk. i kinda of did a bit of research and i also saw that i could switch to tmobile by flashing a custom rom that allows me to have the radio for tmobile, but thats too much hastle. i dont really like att they a-holes i used to have the 4s and everymonth id get the "you'r using too much data" and thy would drop my speeds to .14mb, in my area lte is not great the best speed i usually get between work and home are 3-5 mbs so speed is not really a big deal for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tyler79durdan:
You'll get capped on straight talk also... Heed my warning. Tether when absolutely necessary, and try to actually use less data. Be aware of data and this won't happen.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kawika:
2 Question's Guy's, both refer to Slim ICS 3.8 (one more than the other)

1) Regarding using the Handcent messaging app. It seems I'm having an issue when I disable notifications in the stock messaging app and enable notification in Handcent. I get only 1 notification in the status bar as I should (just the Handcent) but there is no notification sound:confused:. The only way I seem to get notification sound is if I enable it in the stock messaging app. Thus resulting in dual notification:eek: lol.(figured I'd testify and notify:cool:)

2) My second question is about Google Music and the deauthorize/too many devices whole shenanigans! I'm sticking to Slim ICS itz friggin titz! but does anyone know if the updates count as "new ROMS" which seems to be the root problem. I tend to flash a lot of ROM's(NO WAY!;)) I'm on version 3.8 and I had to freeze the "update me" app cuz I got tired of seeing the lil green Android every 2minutes! I'm afraid to update, lol.

Neither Problem is life threatening and I'm happy with both Slim ICS and GooglePlay Music. Without either I would be but half a man. Any info is appreciated.

Cheers

My phone likes to default to "Partly Sunny with Thunder Showers" at 84°F regardless of the time of day. Am I the only one experiencing this? I had the same problem on my 3VO when using a Sense 4.0 ROM.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] USMC retired:
Yes

Absolutely, it's 90 degrees here, and it is very humid.

WHat kind of problems are you having?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] StEVO_M:
I have noticed the same thing today. Right now it's correct, but earlier this morning and in the Afternoon it showed "Partly Cloudy with Thunder Showers" Weird.:confused:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] chessmyantidrug:
I'm referring specifically to the Weather app, not necessarily the weather itself. I'm not exactly happy about it being 93 and humid as heck, but I can't control it. I'm just tired of unlocking my phone and seeing "Partly Sunny with Thunder Showers" when I'm being blinded by sunlight. (Yes, I recognize the irony of seeing something while being blinded.)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Take57:
Might want to check your settings. It appears you can select how often the information is updated. IIRC, default is three hours. Fair to say a lot can change weatherwise in that amount of time.

Good luck.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] chessmyantidrug:
I'm not sure how the settings would affect anything. I can load the app and force it to tell me what is really going on outside, leave my phone alone for a while, and then it tells me it's "Party Sunny with Thunder Showers" regardless of the time of day.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] muffinhunter:
Thread resurrection.

I've noticed the same problem since I got the phone. Running on the stock rom in Texas, and it constantly defaults to "Partly sunny with thunder showers" until I force it to refresh. Any solutions?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] clownfart:
I've noticed the same thing.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jdawg0024:
I am as well, it will always go back to 85 degrees no matter what. It is very annoying. I have to launch the weather before it will update
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shook187:
Last week I too was getting the partly sunny with thunder showers for a few days in a row.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sparhawk6:
Thanks for your review. I purchased the 214 based on your review.

I've liked my 214. My issues have been connectivity - I'd say about 1/3rd of the time my key presses on the 214 are not registering with my phone. Do you notice any increased responsiveness with the 221?

If you haven't noticed any change there, I'm not sure I'll upgrade. I haven't found the need for a rotating clip. I also don't think I need two connections.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LAYGO:
I've not noticed the connectivity issues with my 214. Sometimes I do, right when I make the first connection, but it's usually pretty reliable.

As for the 221, I haven't noticed it either, other than when I power it on via NFC. I still have to hit the Send/End to get it to pair with Nexus, so it's not really saving much. I think as far as music is concerned, sometimes (with ether 214 or 221) it immediately fires up a music app by hitting Play/Pause, sometimes it doesn't.

As for a dual connection, the 214 supports it, which I didn't realize until having my EVO be the primary media device on the 214/221 (unchecking the "Connect to Phone" option under EVO's BT Settings) & making the Nexus the primary phone device (unchecking the "Connect to Media" option). Since I don't have any cell service on the EVO, I can't verify that it'd connect to the phone anyway, but I know I can get my Nexus to connect to both phone/media if the EVO BT isn't on or near.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mindgrinder:
audio clarity

how is the Bass and Audio Clarity? do you think it is good enough for gym?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shinji21:
Thanks for the review. It would be great if they put all these into a watch format with an extra speaker phone function.

Not so sure about the smart watch thing, but a Bluetooth headset in a watch format would be awesome.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LAYGO:
Subjective. It works for me & I'm using Shure SCL2 IEMs (professional level). Either the 214/221 is plenty loud enough with good sealing in ears. If you want to further it, you could use a FiiO E5 headphone amp. It's about the exact same size as the 214 & will boost the audio fine. I use one on my desktop or when traveling on a plane.

I imagine you could just clip it to a wrist band or jogging arm band to get that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LAYGO:
One of the coolest aspects I've noticed lately of the 221 is how much easier it is to power on/off. Anyone with a 214 will tell you how hard it is to push that tiny button.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HinotoriBR:
If your Galaxy Nexus has stock 4.0.4, can you please tell me whether it has a lag to play any sound other than the google music player and videos? MW600 is driving me nuts with this lag, I know it is 4.0.4 specific but I'm not sure if it is specific for the MW600 or if it affects other bluetooth headsets. The simplest way to test it is playing a game, audio lag is easily noticed while playing games...

P.s.: if you are listening to FM radio, is the phone audio still routed to the headset, and can you easily answer a call, or is it like MW600 where you need to manually switch the headset to the bluetooth mode and then answer the call?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mindgrinder:
thanx, how good does it work with Lumia phones any idea?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Flowyk:
SGS2 A403 (Litening Rom) ... in game it totaly have lag - delay is about half the second ... I got big delay even in MX player but only sometimes ... mostly it was with the "standard" delay

there is FM mode and bt mode ... switched with one position button ... it will automatically switch to BT when calling

Im missing android app for that device to bind buttons and more (like display managment) maybe I will write it but it wont be soon ... nokia.com/support also missing that devices (only mono headsets)

maybe bug but voice recording uses phone mic to record ... the sophisticated app is really needed

when someone calling with "turn on/off" you answer the call

its small but have own weight ... the watch option is good idea
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andres22:
Hi Laygo,

I just bought this device from expansys, and it is working great with music player but I keep losing connection when it works as a headset for calls. If I am 1 meter away from the phone it will connect and disconnect every few seconds. The main reason I bought this was to use it for calls :(

My phone is an htc Titan. Have you even encountered this issue? Any way to fix it or shall I just return it to expansys?

Many thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LAYGO:
The only problem I have is with NFC: when I power it on via NFC, it won't actually connect. I have to hit the phone button for almost a second (until you hear the single beep), let go & then it connects. Once connected, I do not have ANY issues with media or phone. Works flawlessly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] upendrawanmali:
Multipoint

So can I receive calls on both the devices I connect or only one device can be used to receive calls ??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] talipo:
I have the model bh-214 and a galaxy I9100.

When I connect it to the aux in the car who is calling me hears echo. Is there a solution? Has tried it in the car as bluethooth handsfree?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LAYGO:
Well, after awhile, the screen on my 221 has not legible at all. It might have something to do with the Texas summers or not, but I rarely use the screen. It is needed to pair/configure, but I've not used it hardly at all.

Still connects flawlessly with both my Evo/Nexus with my Evo purely as Media & Nexus as Phone and/or Media (if I have the Evo off).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jimmyff:
Hey,

I've been looking for a decent bluetooth stereo headset to use with my own earphones and I like the look of the Nokia BH-221 but I've got a couple of concerns maybe you can help with:

Low volume issue

I've read that some people are having issues with the device not pushing out enough volume, some suggest even with the stock earplugs. Apparently the issue is even worse with mid range impedance headphones like I'd planned to use (70 ohms). Anyone here having similar issue with this device?

Track ID

I've been looking at headsets with a display (this one, MW600 & MW1) as I want to be able to control my music and see track names on my commute without getting my phone out. I've read that Nokia didn't implement AVRCP 1.3, instead they've implemented v1.0 then done some black magic to make the track information work with certain handsets (mainly Nokia's). This seems like a bit of a deal breaker for me as I want a BT headset that's standards compliant so even if the track ID doesn't work on my Nexus 4 & Nexus 7 now, when stock android updates the BT profiles to support AVRCP 1.3+ then it should all start working. What are your experiences with the track ID support?

If the two points above are real problems with the device then I'll probably pick up a MW600 or MW1 as an alternative. I just think the Nokia BH-221 looks so much nicer!

Thanks

Based on the reasons I mentioned above I went for the older device: MW600 - I'll post a youtube review once I've had a week or two with it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bobdoblo:
Send it back now!

The worst designed headset ever and the quality is dreadful.

I got one to replace my 7 year old Nokia BH - 500 and thought it would be great after reading some reviews.

How wrong i was!

Whoever designed it needs sacking.

When you want to turn volume up it never works but when you don't want to touch it you will.

It is infuriatingly bad.

Then there is the sound:eek:

I took it back and got an exchange because i thought it was broken.

But it wasn't as the new one was the same.

Anything over 3/4 volume distorts and it is not even loud anyway.

100% on that is like 50% on the Nokia for loudness and in a completely different league for quality.

To the OP in your review of the 214 you mention numerous times how Loud it is but then you have just said in this review you use something else to bump up the volume?

So.. Why would you need to if its so loud?

Ever tried Nokia BH-500?

Its great, quality and loudness are amazing (with different headphones but how does it compare to 214?

This site says it is brilliant, i have just ordered another BH-500 from Amazon and am now wondering if i should change?

http://www.gadgetnutz.com/2010/07/12/nokia-bh-214-review/

Edit, tested back 2 back with same songs and earphones and BH-500 is better.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kaivalya97:
I have the same problem with my BH-221 in India. I just bought it yesterday. Did you find a solution for the brightness issue?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gxsaurav:
Thanks for doing this review.

Can you tell me if ambient sound is audible when you are on a call in the earphones? I used to have a Nokia BH214 and I could myself hear ambient audio like ceiling fan, cars outside when I was on a call.

Currently I have a Jabra Street 2 and I don't have this problem.

[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fayrarri:
If you do go for a non stock extended battery, try getting a good quality one.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kentchristopher:
How do I force PC Companion or SEUS to repair my X10 mini to restore it to its factory state?

I was running CM7 2.2.0 which was great until 2 weeks ago when I started getting random shutdows and erratic battery stats. Restored to 2.1-update1 using recovery, flashed stock kernel with Flashtool and relocked bootloader. Still having bizarre battery issues (going from 100% to 5% after reboot) and WiFi doesn't work (says 'unable to start Wi-Fi').

When I select the repair option in PC Companion 2.1 (latest version), I select my phone, it starts the update process, then says "No software available" with subtext "There is no software available for your phone. Please try again later."

SEUS doesn't have a repair option and simply says my phone has the latest software.

I tried using a different build.prop file found online to be used to force PCC or SEUS to update but got the same error.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Try to start PCCompanion without plug in phone...Choose update and then the repair option.Then Follow the instructions from PCCompanion.

After choosing your phone you have to plug in phone by pressing back button,to get in flash mode..

Guys the solution is really easy u probably missed it

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] tsheka:
have you try to flashing with flashtool? it much easier and it didnt needed conection any way.. you just search stock rom and flashing your phone with flashtool
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
I'm not sure how you got back to your original firmware, but as far as i'm aware this happens when your provider has tinkered with the firmware, and branded it himself. PC Companion will then recognise a phone not supported by Sony Ericsson but by your provider and refuse to do a repair. I believe you can edit the build-prop to insert a code that signals a stock SE Firmware, which might do the trick. Another trick you can use to get back to factory defaults is to reinstall xRec or CWM and wipe all data, cache and dalvik-cache.

I'm not sure about the WiFi issue, haven't seen that issue in this context, and certainly not on stock firmware, but the battery-issue seems to be caused by MiniCM7-2.2.0, for some people, including myself, at least. Earlier versions of this rom seem to work fine.

What you need to do to get the battery back into reasonably decent state, is let it drain, then charge it with the wall-charger (I would not recommend usb-charging here) in one go until it's completely charged. Try to repeat this a couple of times. I hope this helps you a little.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kentchristopher:
The question isn't "how to start the repair process" - I can do that just fine (press back when inserting phone, phone starts repair process, etc.). The problem is the error message I'm getting (see original post).

I used xrecovery to restore the backup I made of my 2.1 ROM. I even did the factory wipe and wiped Dalvik cache, but it's still not in full factory state because it still has xrecovery present. Is xrec contained in the kernel tft file I flashed with Flashtool?

I did find the ROM files that SEUS downloaded and decrypted them to .sin files using Flashtool, but since I'm not sure how to create a proper .tft file I don't want to flash those if I can get PC Companion to do its repair job like it's supposed to.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kentchristopher:
Also the phone is unbranded, purchased unlocked.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
You probably had XRecovery installed when you made the back-up of your original ROM, that would be why it's still present after you restored the backup.

In flashtool, choose create bundle if you want to make a .ftf file from the decrypted sin files. I'll go to the procedure again later today, so I can tell you how exactly it is done, but there is a tutorial somewhere in the general section on how to do it, although it's got a few errors in it.

And as to why PC Companion won't let you repair... beats me... I figured it was carrier-related, but it may just be a regional issue.

Anyway, i'll get back to you :)
