I pay 160 a month.. free mobile to mobile (not just vzw) unlimited data and texts and 700min for calling landlines. Got 2 smartphones on the plan.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
What plan on Verizon includes free m2m for other carriers?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BrianDigital:
How do the plans fair for just one smartphone with over two gigabits
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Alex1123:
55$ unlimted mobile to mobile and 4g (when sprint gets it) :D but thats just my line in a family plan lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] throwbot:
Dude id find out what that fifty dollar charge is for. That sounds like bs
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phio:
It's a south area promotion. I believe you can have anywhere from houston, tx to Louisiana, Georgia, and Florida. I'm not sure who else gets it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Craziness.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ajk511:
2mbps during peak hours? Hahahahaha....I wish :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oldblue910:
I'm on an individual plan and, as I expected, I'm getting an extra gig of data, plus I'm getting tethering and unlimited minutes included now, for $10 less per month. My old plan was:

Galaxy Nexus: 950 anytime minutes + 5 free friends and family numbers, unlimited text, 4 GB data (2 GB double data promo) with no tethering.

Xoom: 5 GB data with no tethering.

I paid $160/mo for 9 GB of data total.

---------------------------------------------------

Now that I moved to the 10 GB Share Everything:

$100/mo for 10 GB of data.

$40 line access for the Galaxy Nexus

$10 line access for the Xoom

So now I'm paying $150/mo for 10 GB of data (as opposed to 9 GB on the old plan), getting tethering included, and going from 950 to unlimited minutes. I count that as a win.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gadzooks64:
This!

We have 5 smartphones - 4 with unlimited data, 700 shared minutes (which we never come close to using) and unlimited texting. With a corporate discount we pay about $256/mth.

Moving to a Family Plan with 4gb of data (GTFO!) still makes our base bill $270 before taxes. The bill for 10gb would be $300 before taxes!

Pay more AND lose unlimited data plans? Srsly?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gahh Its Lee:
I think its been established it basically saves if you have unlimited minutes already.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hitreset:
As a Canadian I always thought Americans all had stellar cheap plans.

I now know I pay less then most people in this thread!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] got556:
LOL....I'm in wrigleyville and work in downtown. Never lose my LTE and no they don't throttle you. Some months I'm using 10 gigs and other months 70-90 gigs and pay for the mobile hotspot. I pay $230 for two unlimited lines, unlimited texts, mobile hotspot, and 700 minutes. Yes it's expensive but anywhere outside of the Chicago area and VZW is the only service you get.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tehgyb:
I disagree. I sell Verizon and out of all my customers ive talked about the plan with over the last two weeks only two of them had bills that were going up. Even then the rise was under 20 dollars.

The point of the plan is to make it pay off less to keep a basic phone. Now you pay ten bucks more and get a smartphone, as opposed to paying 30 more.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Turb0wned:
It's ok guys.... Verizon now includes a bottle of lube free when you switch to shared data!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iiDeadSeriousii:
I used to feel that way when I was on Sprint, then I left for AT&T and WOW @ the LTE. I never imagined it'd make that big a difference, but it really does for everything. Where I was getting about 2-5mbps on my Evo using WiMax I'm now getting about 28-31mbps on LTE.

And since we're on topic of plans, I'm new to AT&T and must've taken advantage of their current promotion because I'm getting 2 smartphones with 5GB's of data each at 160 total. That's also with a 20% discount for my job though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adulel08:
Some of you are getting Raped..

Tmo I pay $160

4 lines 3 w/ data (5gb, 2gb, 200mb)

1000 min unl wknd night m2m

Unlimited messaging/pic
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oldblue910:
I was a Tmo customer for 12 years. I'm with VZW now and I don't think I'm getting raped. VZW has service damn near everywhere, which is nice when you travel.

When I was on Tmo, my data plan included unlimited data roaming when my phone was on AT&T's network, but when they made all those data plan changes back in February, they started cutting data roaming off at 100MB without so much as the option of going over. Since I go a lot of places where my Tmo phone roamed on AT&T, this was absolutely unacceptable to me. Giving 100 MB of data roaming away free is fine...but cutting it off without even giving you the option of purchasing more? Nope, no thanks.

T-Mobile is cheap, and for some people it works, but my needs changed and it didn't work for me anymore. In the end, you get what you pay for. Value is about more than the bottom line price you pay. It's about what you get for the price you pay, and I feel like I'm getting a better value with Verizon than with T-Mobile. I get better coverage and better data speeds, on a far more reliable network than I ever did with T-Mobile. I don't mind paying more for that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bL33d:
i will never get a upgrade threw verizon again period. I will either buy a nice used phone off ebay or move to sprint pretty simple full proof plan ;)

2 smart phones with unlimited data and a dumb phone and i pay $180 a month.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
We called for grits and shins two days ago. The recommended plan for us was 50 more a month before surcharges and taxes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oldblue910:
Screw that!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pyroscott:
Anyone know how the corp discounts work with the new plans? If the discount applies to the data allotment and 1 line I will save by switching. If not, I'm sticking with my current plan which is not unlimited :banghead: I just switched from Sprint in Feb. I had enough of 200kbps download speeds.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ferradinho:
I work for Verizon and I'll be the first to admit that I'm not happy about people losing unlimited data. The unlimited data plans, however, were created in a time when the average usage was less than 150MB and only a very small percentage of users had smartphones. With that little usage it was profitable for the company.

As far as the new plans go it's hit or miss. Some customers are saving over $100 a month while others would pay slightly more. Most of the accounts I look at use less than 1 gig of data per line and there are way more customers already in usage based data than you would think.

I maybe see one line out of every fifty that uses more than 4 gigs and maybe one in several hundred that uses over 7. We are a very small minority of Verizon customers that use large amounts of data.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ferradinho:
No one is forced to switch to the new plans.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ferradinho:
This right here is exactly it... The plan really pays off with more than 5 lines and if you want to add tablets or hotspot. Also it makes it easier for people to purchase smartphones over basic phones. There are so many customers that want a nice phone but would use data minimally and don't want to pay for individual data plans. These are the majority of Verizon customers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
More than 5 lines? When did family plans move past 5?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gahh Its Lee:
From what I've noticed it'll pay off for a lot less phones if they need unlimited minutes. I'd be saving money and we have three phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ferradinho:
The new plans support up to ten devices per sub-account.

I've saved a few small businesses with 15-20 lines over $300 a month with the new plans.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Turb0wned:
So.... what brand of lube are you giving the customers? Is it at least the good stuff?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Interesting.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ferradinho:
Example:

Data aside, a business that wants unlimited talk and text previously paid either $89.99 per line or $150 for the first two lines and $50 per additional line up to five ($60 per line). The new plan is $60 for the first line and $30 per additional line up to 10 ($33 per line). Ten lines unlimited T&T before = $600, now = $330.

Or 10 smartphones with 2GB each was $900 and now $550 with 20GB shared.

Even with lower minute plans there are big savings in most cases.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gahh Its Lee:
Very cool.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] throwbot:
Yeah, I'm on unlimited talk and text, and switching over to shared data worked out great for me.

Of course, I was already on tiered data. But I have two smartphones and no feature phones, plus 6 gigs of data and my bill is about 40 dollars less than it was.

I started out on tiered data with 2 gigs. When I got my gnex they were running a promo that upped my data allowance to 4 gigs, which I still used every bit of. Now with my dad on my plan (who uses about 30 mb a month) I have yet to come under a half a gig of my allowance, and one month used my data pretty freely to see how close I would get to going over and still didn't.

So you might be onto something about people with unlimited talk and text switching and saving money. I'm sure we're the minority, and yeah I could go cheaper with another carrier but honestly for the first time in a while I'm happy with my coverage and my plan.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
My sister gets a discount since she's a nurse, so we made her the account holder. The only thing that changes now is the data allowance, unlimited minutes and text are included, data is the portion of the bill they discount. Not the whole bill, not the $40/line add ons, only the data portion.

And if anybody is wondering my bill went way down, because I had the double data promo for 10GB. But the rest of my families bill went up about $100 to switch from AT&T and add me to it.
[HTC Sensation] subbase:
My touch did not unlock well even after all possible solutions mentioned in other threads so I installed a new one.

After installing however the phone starts but my screen is lightening up and giving only very small collored pixels all over. Loosening all three flatcables and connecting them again does not change anything.

Any suggestions?

Hi to that love the GSIII,

Any "constructive" ideas that might help me out?

Kind Regards,

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Zacisblack:
If there's no noticeable physical damage int he corner you could probably send it in as a defect. And why on earth you not put at least a case on the damn thing, regardless of looks. I almost want to tell you that you deserve it.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Bizdady:
Ya think Ill definately get the Insurance.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] kulzboy:
Try returning it to wherever you got it from and hope they accept it

Otherwise you can pay Samsung to fix it for you or order parts an DIY

Do you have insurance? If so then they may give you one with a deductible fee

I am very disappointed by the s3 build quality, why couldn't they design a durable phone like s2
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Felecity:
Poor guy. Well, the obvious is that this is a case of cracked LCD. However, my next question would be where did you buy it? If you opted in for Best Buy's Black Tie, you could get that repaired/replaced at no charge (with the exception of your monthly payment you pay). If not, Asurion will charge $125 deductible.. or the service centers are $99 last time I looked (I've been out of the repair game a few months).

If the crack isn't evident (because it is har dot tell in the image) where you can see the crack of the LCD (not the glass of the digitizer, as that appears to be fine) but the spider web effect of the LCD... the store might unknowingly exchange it. Personally, I'd be honest with them. I had a defective EvoLTE that I was waiting to swap when three days before S3 release I dropped it and cracked the corner of the digitizer. Best Buy was kind enough to exchange me anyway, simply because I spoke up and said what happened.

Best of luck to you!
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Bizdady:
Actually most places will still let you add on the insurance since its still under the 30 day window. Just wait it out a few days and then see about getting it fixed.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] bradleyw801:

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] hawkeye2188:
I would've cried too, I almost had a drop today at work and my life flashed before my eyes. I don't have a case on mine, the beauty of it is too nice to cover. I will give you all permission to say I told you so if/when I drop my phone.

best bet claim insurance, 199 deductible(assuming since s2 variants are still 199)

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] planoman:
The problem is that the att stores do not have them and you will have to ship it off I believe. In any event, a hassle. For those of you that get your phone go to ATT or wherever and slap a case on it You have 30 days on the case also. So what if it is not your ultimate case. Protect the phone! It is slippery!

I have mine in a TPU case (8 bucks) and a neoprene sleeve I've had for a while.

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffjoleen:
Hello-

Quick background. I have a Kindle Fire with the CM9-Reloaded ROM installed. All was going well for a few weeks until my Kindle stopped connecting to the internet. I figured it was just a bug and wanted to reinstall the ROM or choose a different one.

I have FFF v1.4 (with the blue logo) installed. When I get to the screen that allows me to choose "Normal Boot", "Recovery", or "Reset Boot Mode" I choose the "Recovery" to go into TWRP; however, this doesn't happen. It puts me back into a loop to the same screen to choose again. I can do this over and over again and I'm still not able to get into recovery to get to TWRP.

I decided to see if I could use the Kindle Fire Utility to get to TWPR that way. Before everyone asks, my drivers are all updated and functioning properly. I uninstalled and reinstalled just to double check. When the Kindle is plugged in, I can go to the device manager and see my Kindle there. The problem is that KFU says I'm offline and I can get to any of the menus. When I plug in my Kindle I do get the little "bong" that tells me my computer recognized it.

Also, went to my laptop and downloaded the KFU and installed everything. Same result as with my desktop.

What else can I try? I have a factory cable, but I really don't know much about how to use it. I simply followed step by step instructions to root this when I originally got it. Any suggestions? I'd really just like to put this Kindle back to stock, re-root, and try it all over again to eliminate any potential issues in the future. Thanks in advance for your help.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dasanko:
Does "adb reboot recovery" not work from within the ROM either? You can try to reflash TWRP from fastboot, if you're feeling brave enough. Double check the hash first, though.

hello all

i am in need of dire help working on sister's inlaw kindle fire

i got the KFU newest one and verified the kindle was the newest version software

i started the KFU i must of missed a step and the kindle fire is locked on loadscreen (kindle fire) a soft brick i got the program that u say try and the system will not be found by it

i have removed and reinstalled the Adb rebooted my system and hard reboot kindle........the computer sees the kindle but not as kindle..........in device manger it shows up under the ADB section not the portable..........i only see the ADB there is no kindle hardware tab in windows explorer it is not listed

but it is listed in devices and printers under unspecified with the name kindle in there........... i can not access any info in the tab it list the name as kindle the rest are blank

please help i have no idea what to do on this one.........it is locked on the screen and i can not get the system to fully talk with each other to correct it using the methods u have posted

**note i went to a 2nd computer that has never had kindle or any ADB or any other program dealing with this the system is giving the same results as stated above the system sees it but does not know what it is ...thought it might be a overlapping driver issue on my computer

side note i am kind of poor and really do not have 200 bucks to buy a new one for her i have a week to fix with out getting caught help please
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffjoleen:
No, adb reboot recovery doesn't work. How would I reflash TWRP from fastboot? I'm definitely a rookie at cmd work.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dasanko:
By it not working, do you mean that it reboots normally?

"fastboot getvar product" to get the KF to stick with fastboot mode when it's loading the bootloader.

"fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" very important to double check the file hash to make sure it's not corrupt.

"fastboot reboot" only in case it doesn't automatically reboot on its own.

EDIT: Keep in mind fastboot mode uses a different set of drivers, so you may have to install those as well (included in KFU, along the ADB ones).
