Try clearing data for your browsers, market, or anything that brings about one of those bars to begin with. not sure if you can do anything with the "downloads" app, but give that a look too.

On a side note, if you have a question, ask it in the title of the post instead of putting something completely unhelpful to anyone trying to get a summary of the thread.

It sounds like the Inet app is wonky. I'm assuming you are using the HTC Internet app? Have you ever seen it behave normally? Does this bar progress like normal but just says "Untitled - data"? You should see a green bar go from the left side of that notification to the right.

Next time you see it, go to your System | Apps menu and look at the running apps tab. See if your browser is running and Force Close it to see if it goes away.

Had this phone since launch and I think she's finally ready to go..

Your thoughts

First issue: Woke up this morning to my phone stuck in horizontal mode (CM9).. No amount of reboots, cache clearing, display rotation setting playing with would stop it. It would reboot straight to landscape mode.

Second issue: Tried pulling the battery.. When inserting the battery the phone booted right up without me even having to hit power.

Third issue: I removed the battery again, this time for longer and now when I insert the battery the animated charging icon appears (without being on external power)

Fourth issue: When the phone was powered up it would randomly not recognize it was on external power even when plugged in.

Fifth issue: Reading the writing on the wall I did a quick unroot return to stock and locked.. After this rotation works fine again, it seems to charge but if I pull the battery and insert it, it will still show the white animated charging battery icon for about 5 seconds. I can even press the power button quickly to bring it up on demand like it's really on external power when it isn't.
[Nexus S General] qaz2453:
You can remove the second "issue"

It happens on most phones... normally when u pull the battery and quickly put it back in
[Nexus S General] styckx:
Yeah.. I had it down to that myself. :)

Took it to Sprint.. He tried blaming it on my battery (because it would take 10-20 seconds to even acknowledge it was charging after plugging it in)

So, I demonstrated how I can make it "charge" without being connected to power by making the powered down charging icon appear when it was unplugged. He laugh with a bewildered look on his face and just decided he'd send me a reconditioned (he said new but the box serial number starts with "RECD") and also a new battery. The whole day before I received my replacement my old phone was getting worse and worse.. Random reboots, and odd thin vertical lines when on Automatic backlight in bright sun..

New phone is working as it should now.. I can't complain. What's it been? 9 months since release? And this is the first time something went wrong with it and Sprint had a new phone at my door in 24hrs. Love good, quick service.
[Nexus S General] albundy2010:

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Deleted member 4238276:
Firstly, my SGS3 is completely stock and not rooted.

I've been having issues with games not being compatible and then seeing other people playing the game that was incompatible on my phone. It started with Modern Combat 3 which refused to download the additional data because of a "connection issue". I contacted Gameloft who sent me a new APK which had the same problem. They then sent me Asphalt 6 and Gangstar Rio: City of Saints all of which had the same problem. I have since tried MIBIII and NOVA 3 which both said that they were not compatible with my handset and to request a refund.

Apart from when Gameloft sent me a game, all the games were purchased/downloaded from the Play store.

Is there something that I am doing wrong or is there a work around that I haven't been able to find? I've searched a stack of threads and haven't found an answer to hit the nail on the head.

Any help would be appreciated.

[General Questions and Answers] magus57:
I'm considering importing one off eBay when it arrives on the 30th, since I love the look/size of it (unlike the GS3, which would be my other option). My three concerns (which can be answered by current Meizu MX owners), however, are:

-App compatibility. As far as I know, this is the only major Android phone with a 960x640 resolution, and I don't know if this causes a lot of issues...

-English language support. Considering it originates in China and doesn't seem to be made available elsewhere really, I'm concerned about some stuff still not translating even after I select English (if it's not defaulted or if there's even an option).

-Rooting/software/dev support. I can't imagine messing around with the phone too much, but in case I do, is there any (English) community for it?

I was just wondering if there was something similar for the nexus s. just looking for something new to try.
[Networking] xxBrun0xx:
Sorry if this has been posted elsewhere, but I've noticed a lot of people being caught by surprise when they hear how little I pay for my data plan. I'd like to make a list of all prepaid plans, how much you pay, what you get, and what the coverage is for smartphones. Let's go!

Virgin Mobile ($35/month = 300 mins, unlimited txt+data)

Pros: Cheap, simple plans, good customer service

Cons: Not many high-end phones, have to buy VM branded phone (can't bring your own), Sprint coverage, expensive if you talk a LOT

T-Mobile's 4g plan ($30/month = 100 mins, unlimited txt+3g data, 5gb 4g data)

Pros: Perfect for people who talk very little, tons of fast data without throttling, can bring your own phone or buy through 3rd party (ebay, craigslist, amazon, etc)

Cons: Low minutes, if you go over your minutes, you are automatically upgraded to the next teir plan which only includes 300mb data and cannot switch back unless you buy a new sim card (aka, confusing plan), T-Mobile coverage

Straight Talk's BYOD Sim Card ($45/month = unlimited voice+data, ~2gb HSPA+ data)

Pros: AT&T coverage, unlimited minutes, can bring virtually any gsm device (offer both t-mobile and at&t sim cards)

Cons: Customer service is horrible, plans and coverage confusing*

*Straight Talk has deals with all major carriers, which is why they have several different coverage maps. For the prepaid android phones you buy from them, you get Sprint coverage. If you choose the BYOD sim plan, you get either T-Mobile or AT&T coverage (depending on which sim card you choose). Some of their prepaid dumbphones use Verizon's towers, so you'll see that coverage map, too. Basically, get an AT&T sim and you get AT&T coverage. Not too bad.

Also, it's worth noting that T-Mobile and Virgin are both very clear about data limits and what happens when. Straight Talk is a lot less clear, basically saying if you don't tether or stream, you have unlimited data, but if they catch you using a TON of data they do have the right to kick you off their plan. If you want to stream pandora 16 hours a day, this isn't the plan for you.

Please feel free to add to this list or make corrections if you see them. I wrote this in response to an article on Cnet today, and am basically just copying and pasting. I know there are more carriers, but there are the three I personally have experience with. If you have experience and know a carrier inside and out, send a reply! I'd like to eventually get all prepaid carriers in the US.

[Networking] xxBrun0xx:
Good stuff, but there is a little bit of misinformation here. Straight Talk has two different BYOD sim cards: one runs off of T-Mobile's network and one off of AT&T's.

With that in mind, is there any compelling reason to spend an extra $15/month? (Not trying to be a ****, just wondering if customer service is better, if they subsidize phones, or some other benefit over straight talk.)

corrections:

old ST android phones run on Sprint for ST actually only 2 of them does,

the LG Optimus Q and Samsung Galaxy Precedent

we use verizon and TMO for newer android phones (though i was not able to catch up since i transfered to AT&T, last time i was there the LG Optimus Black runs on TMO networks)

Verizon Tower Phones-

all CDMA dumbphones

AT&T & TMO Tower phones-

sim card dependent

Sprint Tower Phones-

Only LG Optimus Q and Samsung Galaxy Precedent

CS is well trained if they are tier 2-3 (that is the supervisors and managers desk)

if you call CS ask immediately to be transfered to a supervisor if you are not contented to a supervisor ask for a manager

tier 1 reps or beginners are the main reason why people say the CS is horrible

they are actually the front-liners and will recieve every given call

30% of tier 1 reps are actually on training (new hires on the job with no experience)

50% of them are less than 6 months tenure

tracfone does not contract a center in india cuz they prefer south america for the reason that the head office of our center is in mexico and tracfone is a mexican company

[Networking] Babydollll:
Maybe I wasn't clear enough in my first post.

I know they do, however they don't seem to be quite as strict with data use on T-Mobile's network. Also, most people I know prefer Simple Mobile as the MVNO of choice for T-Mobile.

I think the extra 15$ is worth it to have a defined data allotment. On HoFo there are complaints of ST harassing them over as little 1.3GB of usage in a month. I don't like nebulous ToS.....

[Networking] xxBrun0xx:
I had no idea Tracphone was a base out of Mexico. Cool :D

This seems to be a pretty terrible deal, and here's my logic (correct me if I'm wrong):

Let's compare to Virgin Mobile, since they also use Sprint's Network. So with VM, you pay for data and voice, and basically get charged $0 per text. Let's do some math!

Assuming you're going with VM's $35/month plan, you're getting 100 minutes and 2.5gb of data (until they throttle you, after which is unlimited. But let's pretend throttled data doesn't exist and they hard capped you instead). Let's look at how much it would cost to use 100 minutes and 2.5gb data on Platinumtel:

100 mins x $0.05/minute = $5

2.5gb data x $0.10/mb x (1000mb/gb) = $250

Total: $5 + $250 = $255/month

Keep in mind this doesn't include texts, which are "free" through VM. Now, let's say you're big on talking. Let's jump up to Virgin's next plan, 1200 minutes for $45.

1200 mins x $0.05/minute = $60

Total: $60 + $255 = $315/month

And the it's really downhill from there (VM has a final plan, which is $55/month with unlimited minutes, but you get the idea).

This plan also fares very poorly against every other prepaid plan, unless you don't do much of anything other than use wifi with your phone and simply need something for emergencies.

But still, if you use 0 minutes, 0 texts, and only 450 mb per month, you're paying as much as you would for Straight Talk, or Virgin's 2nd plan, or a host of other more competitive plans. While pay as you go smartphone plans are cool, this is just way too expensive for what you get.
[Networking] booda3000:
This is true. PAYGO is only good for people who either don't use their phone alot or are next to WIFI enough to satisfy their needs.

I personally like to only pay for what I use and nothing more.

I don't need much data, because I'm either at work or near WIFI.

BTW, PTel has monthly plans also.

If I had WIFI at work, I could probably spend less that $2 a month.
[Networking] Mr.Mischief:
That's a bit incorrect. If you run out of minutes they charge you $.05 a minute. They won't change your plan.

There are quite a few more prepaid providers: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1455014
